text: Why deploying VoWiFi can provide operators with a commercial advantage30 Oct 2015 10:42 AM Many operators are not yet ready to provide voice over LTE, but they can implement voice over Wi-Fi right now using Taqua technology and then migrate to VoLTE when they are ready, as Keith Mumford, VP Technology at Taqua explains to James AtkinsonYou could argue that US firm Taqua has now come into its own given the fact that more and more mobile network operators are now providing their subscribers with voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) services.Taqua, along with Kineto – the company it acquired in August 2014 - have been at the forefront of developing VoWiFi technology for a number of years now. With some exaggeration, the two firms might be described as lone voices in the wilderness when it came to trying to persuade operators of the benefits of VoWiFi up until recently.However, Wi-Fi itself has made great advances in terms of developing carrier grade standards and firms like Taqua have been instrumental in overcoming some of the major technical issues associated with VoWiFi (such as reducing the call set-up latency time). Mobile operators are now embracing Wi-Fi for a number of reasons, so Taqua is well placed to take advantage of Wi-Fi's new-found acceptance.Speaking to Wireless at the LTE Voice event in London in September, Keith Mumford, VP Technology at Taqua (pictured), explains that the company has two main strings to its bow. 'First, we have an Android client product designed to deliver very transparent voice and messaging over Wi-Fi for operators. It doesn't matter if they have a VoLTE network from Ericsson, Mavenir or whoever – our client will work alongside that as it uses standards-based interfaces.'Mumford reports that Taqua has made quite some progress in working with VoLTE core manufacturers who have put these VoLTE systems into networks. But operators haven't got much to run off them because there are not that many VoLTE enabled devices out there yet. However, they can still find a use for that VoLTE core.'Any operator will have an installed or embedded base of Android devices on its network,' points out Mumford, 'so you can quickly get all those guys energised by offering them a VoWiFi solution, which is connected to that core network.'Any device with Android 4 operating system or later (and 96% of devices out there are now Android 4 or above) will work. So, if you are an operator with 10 million Android devices on your network, you can quickly upgrade them to VoWiFi using our Android client. This is a real opportunity for carriers who have implemented a VoLTE core, but aren't using it much yet,' explains Mumford.Exploiting the installed Android base'If you take some of the large carriers in Asia which might put in a VoLTE core, they have a large Android installed base, but there isn't much they can do with it until people decide to upgrade to a VoLTE enabled smartphone – and that tends not to be every 12-18 months in those markets. So, how do you bring them onto your 4G network? You entice them by enabling VoWiFi and that also helps differentiate you as an operator in your market.'Mumford says the firm still uses the old Kineto pitch: if you take a smartphone, the only apps that don't work over Wi-Fi are the operator's voice and messaging applications. 'But if you install our VoWiFi solution then you get voice and messaging too, so a subscriber can now use all the operator's services over Wi-Fi. We see our offering as more of a partnership with those operators who have put in a VoLTE core.'But what if the operator does not have a VoLTE core? 'Not all operators are ready to install a VoLTE core yet by any means,' agrees Mumford. 'Some don't have LTE, as there are still places where no LTE licenses have been issued. Others may have no IMS (IP multimedia subsystem), or if they do, they may have no plans to implement VoLTE yet.'IMS is a standards-based infrastructure for deploying applications on top of the network, such as rich communication services (RCS) or voice. An operator does not need to install IMS to provide its subscribers with 4G data services, but it does need to do so if it wants to offer value added services.But even if they do want to do so, IMS takes quite a while to deploy, although it has got easier from the point of view of experience and IMS-in-a-box products, says Mumford. And this is where Taqua's second main offering comes in – a core solution that enables VoWiFi and VoLTE services, as and when the operator decides it is ready to offer them.The Taqua core solution'What we offer is a way to come in with our core solution today for all those operators that are either non-VoLTE or non-IMS. By installing our core it allows them to use their existing network to do VoWiFi and not just with our client, but all the native VoWiFi clients that are out there, be it Apple, Samsung or whoever. And then when they are ready we can upgrade them to full VoLTE using our same platform,' explains Mumford.Taqua argues that its core provides operators who are not quite ready to do VoLTE to be able to offer VoWiFi instead and differentiate themselves a bit in the market. However, Mumford clarifies that Taqua is not in the game of trying to just sell its VoLTE services core as its main objective.'That's a more difficult pitch for us,' says Mumford, 'as we'd be up against the big OEMs like Ericsson, Nokia and Huawei. Our differentiation is that for all the operators that are not ready for 4G or VoLTE yet, we can start introducing them to 4G technology with or without IMS and help them migrate to full VoLTE when they are ready.'He notes that this story plays very well in some regions, especially in Asia where there are large, very complicated mobile networks, which are very difficult to swap out for a 4G VoLTE environment, but where they are ready to do VoWiFi.'We have Apple to thank for that after it supported VoWiFi a year ago. When Apple's user community sees the application and wants to use that feature, they start demanding it from their operator. But that is hard demand for the operator to meet if it is nowhere near deploying VoLTE; but we can help them out by providing VoWiFi now.Monetising VoWiFiMumford explains that operators can also monetise the VoWiFi service too it they so desire. One operator Taqua works with has an offering it has been testing with them.Its pitch to subscribers is: if you want to use VoWiFi, download this client; send an SMS to this number saying turn on VoWiFi and the operator will start billing them from that point whether they are in or out of country. When the subscriber is finished using the VoWiFi service, they send another SMS and the operator will turn it off.'It is not a huge amount of money, but if you have millions of subscribers, you'd hope many of them would use it and that would bring in good revenue – especially where ARPUs are quite small – it's a pay-as-you-go VoWiFi service,' says Mumford.He points out that it would be very hard for an AT&T or an EE to charge extra for VoWiFi coverage because of the market expectations, but in other regions that view is not so widely held and there are problems with coverage.These are regions with large dispersed populations that operators cannot easily service with blanket cellular coverage, but if the operator can provide VoWiFi and monetise it a little, then not only is it providing a better service, it gets another revenue stream.'I think there are a lot of different models emerging,' observes Mumford. 'At one end there is the flat model, which is just to offer voice, and Wi-Fi is merely another way to get voice, so the operator won't charge you any more for it. At the other end, there are actual, real benefits to be had from providing VoWiFi for which people will pay, as they are getting access to services they couldn't have got before.'Open standardsHe points out that part of the attraction of Taqua's offering is that does not just work with its client; it works just as well with Apple or Samsung's own native VoWiFI client. 'We are not restricting anyone to using our client,' he emphasises. 'Our client can be used on phones that can never be upgraded to do native voice over Wi-Fi calling. If anything, our client is a two, three or four year stop-gap until all those phones are churned out of the market.'These are the two sides of Taqua business therefore: a client package working alongside other networks; and the core package plus the client for a total solution for an operator, which can be simply deployed off their existing networks.To return to the theme of this being Taqua's time as it were, Mumford notes that what is happening is that the rest of the market is trying to catch up with Taqua. 'Kineto had been doing VoWiFi for 10 years. The business model was always indoor coverage as the number one objective. But it was not until femtocells came along that operators were able to admit there was an indoor coverage problem, as they now had a solution.'Now that has moved onto VoWiFi. That will never go away even with LTE. I've just heard a presentation from Huawei in the LTE Voice conference, where it was saying that the cellular coverage issues in Hong Kong were a good reason to deploy VoWiFi,' says Mumford.VoWiFi for roamingThe second biggest application of VoWiFi is the ability to use it while the user is travelling, as it provides the ability to make calls as if the user is on the home network and therefore bypass roaming charges.'For some operators that plays well,' observes Mumford, 'especially where regulators are phasing out roaming charges anyway. For other operators it is not such an attractive proposition as they rely on in- and out-bound roaming for revenue.'But even with some of those latter operators we are working with them to figure out a way so that if you are using VoWiFi internationally, they will let you onto the network. They will charge you more than your home network would, but a lot less than normal international roaming charges.'So, they are trying to mitigate the cannibalisation of voice and data revenues, while still providing an attractive service. It is a way of fighting back against people using third party apps like Skype to avoid roaming charges, but unlike an app you do not have to use a different dialler,' he points out.'You just use your normal dial-up on the phone if you use our VoWiFi offering. All you see is a little icon at the top showing VoWiFi and you know you will be charged a bit, but at a lower rate than normal roaming by some operators,' says Mumford.In Mumford's view the need for residential cellular femtocells is being obviated by the advent of good quality VoWiFi, although he says the deployment of cellular small cells still makes sense in the enterprise space.'Our research shows 90% of calls over Wi-Fi are from the home or office where you tend to get a better Wi-Fi experience anyway. It is a more patchy experience in public hotspots,' he notes.Wi-Fi to 2G and3G hand offMumford says the other interesting service Taqua delivers, which no one else really does, is handing off to the cellular network from Wi-Fi. 'It is relatively easy when you have a VoLTE environment deployed to move from Wi-Fi to VoLTE. But if you do not have a VoLTE core and you still want to do handover then it gets more difficult. For example, if you are on a call and you leave the house, but the network does not have a VoLTE core, then the call drops.'To overcome this problem Taqua has implemented on its platform the ability to handover to 2G and 3G networks, a fairly unique capability, according to Mumford. 'It is a good option as it means operators do not need VoLTE to provide Wi-Fi to cellular hand off to 2G and 3G where most carriers will have better coverage anyway.'It is good for the operator to have a seamless solution to enable that handover. We do also provide a push button on our client that makes it voluntary, so if you know you are leaving the building you can activate the handover yourself,' says Mumford.Taqua's 'play' is that it can provide as a number of service that are interesting for operators that want to have that VoLTE-like experience, but who are a long way from being able to deliver that as a reality.'You can bring all these things in with the environment we offer using our core and client. And as the operator looks to evolve we already have the 4G service calling, which uses the same standards and interfaces, and we add a few things for VoLTE, but we do it when they are ready to implement it,' sums up Mumford.'If you look at a typical technology roll out, there are lots of promises up front, but it takes a long time to roll out something like LTE and it has to mature before you can take out an existing service and be sure the replacement service is seamless and is able to handle everything. So, the operators don't want to make a mistake with VoLTE,' he says.'The road to VoLTE is through VoWiFi,' argues Mumford and the reality would appear to bear this out. 'Look at the UK market,' he says. 'EE, Vodafone and Three have all gone VoWiFi first, rather than VoLTE first.'Few operators now talk about implementing VoLTE without also mentioning Wi-Fi these days – and that should suit Taqua down to the ground.James Atkinson EditorLinkedIn |Google + |Email Leave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

Scheduling Notes
- While night photography instructional sessions typically run for 8 hours or more, students are encouraged to stay only for the parts that they are able to enjoy comfortably. With the training taking place primarily in the early evening hours, some students are able to take in the training and get their shots by midnight or so and decide to call it a night. Others stay out longer to make the most of the opportunity to learn and to get even more nightscape captures. The choice is yours and Mike encourages students to do what they find most comfortable - whether it be on the short side (4-5 hours) or the long side (8 or more hours).
- Students are encouraged to bring snacks & drinks and to take breaks as needed. They're also encouraged to stay hydrated when shooting out in-the-field. Breaks are common after we finish shooting a location and return to our vehicles.
- If possible, Mike suggests arriving one full day before the event begins in order to minimize risk of travel interruptions, to give some extra flexibility with the weather, and to be well rested so you can make the most of the overnight workshops.

- Styles vary but workshops often start with demonstrations followed by instructor shadowing to apply the techniques.
- Learning doesn't end on the last day of the workshop. Mike shares a plethora of resources that allow students to pursue areas of specialty with newfound tools and resources. The point is to give students the combination of skills, tools, and resources to take more steps forward in their skills & abilities after they get back home. And don't forget to consider workshop instructor Mike Berenson as one of those resources because he's happy to hear from and answer questions from both current and former students.
Recommendations On What To Bring
- Warm Clothes
- Camera, Lens, and Tripod
- Remote Trigger w/Timer (if you have one)

Suggestions On Photo Gear
- Bring your widest, brightest lenses and see Mike's recommendations on good lenses for night photography.
- Keep in-mind that students often feel some hesitation in taking the night photography plunge before can upgrade their equipment. Having learned on some older gear, Mike is a strong advocate of not waiting. In-fact, he's found that the night photography techniques are often easier to learn on an older camera - which can be a valuable learning tool.
- If your gear truly won't do what you want, consider renting from Pro Photo Rental out of Boulder, Colorado. Their service has been great and if you rent a body with 2 lenses, they'll give an additional 15% off the order total (on top of any length-of rental discounts that start at 7 rental days).

Mike Berenson - Colorado Captures
Having pursued sports photography at a young age, I grew to realize the tremendous satisfaction I gained by sharing my work with others. I saw the ability to capture images from some truly unique locations that many people would never get to see in their lifetime.
For some reason, the underwater scenes found while scuba diving stood out as reminders that I was on to something truly special. One day, while scuba diving off the coast of Honduras, I found myself looking up at a wondrous underwater scene when a large school of fish began swimming overhead. In awe, I realized that this was something that man was never really meant to see. Without technology, man would never have been able to stay underwater for long periods of time or fly or other things that we can now do – making it even more special. Knowing that many of my friends and relatives would never get the chance to see such amazing scenery, I began pursuing locations for photography that helped to share the wonder.
Now that I've expanded from underwater photography to various forms of nature photography, I've built a portfolio that I am truly proud of. Beyond that, my equipment and formal training have allowed me to pursue one of my favorite passions - night-time mountain photography with image quality that's on par with some of the best photographers around. Today, I enjoy exploring the backcountry of Colorado and sharing techniques and results with fellow photographers through my business - Colorado Captures.

text: Dave Najewicz of GE Consumer and Appliances will discuss GE's current program developing demand reduction (DR) enabled appliances (Smart Appliance). These appliances communicate with an AMI via the zigbee smart energy profile (using several different physical layer options). The DR appliance respond to signals from the utility (via AMI) and take the appropriate actions to minimize the demand of the appliance. These appliance, at the homeowners option, could be incorporated into a home energy management ( HEM) system also under development at GE. The HEM will provide real time energy (water and NG) monitoring to the consumer, as well as manage the integration of residential PV, other on site generation and storage. The development of the DR appliances and the HEM support GE's vision of a zero net energy home. GE is currently leading the NIST H2G working group, charged with developing standards and protocols for in home communications. Mr Najewicz will discuss GE activities in each of these areas.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Third-year head coach Carrie Yerty and the University of Wyoming Cowgirl volleyball team will hold their first practice of the 2010 pre-season on Monday, August 9 beginning at 8:30 a.m., in the UniWyo Sports Complex.
Yerty welcomes back all six starters and eight letterwinners to this year's squad that finished 13-18 overall and 3-13 in the Mountain West Conference a year ago. The squad consists of four seniors, two juniors, four sophomores, three redshirt freshmen and three true freshmen.
"I am really excited to start the 2010 Cowgirl Volleyball Preseason," said Yerty. "We are returning a solid core of veterans and have added another great recruiting class. The transformation that this program and team has made in just two years is truly incredible. We will have experience and depth in every position and will be able to focus on team systems from the first day of training. Our volleyball IQ has improved tremendously and the team has been working out and training here on campus all summer long. We will be entering this preseason with confidence, poise, and a hunger to win."
The Cowgirls' first practice will be from 8:30-10:30 a.m. on Monday morning. Regular weekday practices during the pre-season will rotate on a three, two or one per day schedule. All practices are open.
Wyoming will open up the 2010 volleyball season at home as they host the UniWyo Wyoming Invite, August 27-28. They will welcome Central Arkansas, Murray State, Northern Arizona and Southern Utah. Out on the road for the first time in 2010, they will travel to Florida for the Stetson University Invitational with matches against Bethune Cookman, Florida Atlantic, Stetson and Wofford. That will be followed by another home tournament, Sept. 10-11, with Boise State, Northern Colorado, Portland and UT-Arlington coming for the UniWyo Cowgirl Classic. Things get wrapped up Sept. 17-18 at the Gonzaga Invitational in Spokane, Wash. They will play Idaho, Seattle and the host school Gonzaga. Mountain West Conference play will begin on the road for the Cowgirls Thursday, Sept. 23 as they take on the Utah Utes in Salt Lake City followed by the BYU Cougars, on Saturday, Sept. 25, in Provo.

AlarmTILT, a product brand of M-PLIFY, specialises in alert management and in particular mission-critical communications which rely on timely delivery in order to function effectively.AlarmTILT uses all available channels, including SMS, to call, invite, organise, synchronise and inform groups of people and manage real-time responses and acknowledgements. tyntec's proven track record of high quality and service guarantee combined with its message transmission technology ensures that 97% of SMS text messages are delivered within 60 seconds. Mission-critical SMS text messages are the most efficient tool for simultaneously alerting customers in the case of an emergency. A phone call can be useful in such situations, but SMS text messages can be read multiple times which is vital to double check details, re-read directions or identify follow-up procedures included in the message. The Luxembourg Government's Highway Department uses AlarmTILT to manage its communication with personnel in charge of clearing the roads. For example, if there is snow or ice on the roads or a tree has fallen, staff are notified by different channels, such as SMS, and can immediately travel to the scene to rectify the problem. Similarly, a lot of financial institutions in Luxembourg use it to manage their communication during emergency situations such as a power outage. Izidor Ciglar, CEO of M-PLIFY, said: "Using high-quality SMS which we know will be delivered in a timely manner is a key differentiator for us. The time-sensitive nature of cases in which we deploy these messages mean the people involved need to be brought up to speed as quickly as possible."Working with tyntec has allowed us to have confidence in the speed and efficiency of the SMS delivery process and know that our customers are seeing the benefits in their emergency response." Thorston Trapp, CTO and co-founder of tyntec, said: "tyntec's SMS technology lends itself perfectly to this type of work. We set the industry standard by pioneering the service level agreement so that customers like M-PLIFY can rely on us to deliver time-sensitive, critical information with quality assurance, no matter what the mission entails, ranging from disaster management, rapid transaction and beyond."

It's sales, so it's a very cut throat environment with achieving your daily sales goals.

Customer Reviews
Awesome game, one suggestion
This game is awesome, 6/5 stars. I love how it is delicately balanced between simple and complex. There is one thing it is missing though. MULTIPLAYER!!! This game would be so much more awesome if it had multiplayer. Either create it as a new game or add it to this one, but multiplayer would be so awesome. My suggestion about how to go about this is once one selects multiplayer, they select a game mode; death match: 4v4, capture the flag, and important target. One team would be blue and the other red, your player would be green on your screen. Once you select a game mode and get in a lobby, you vote on the sub game modes, such as tri shot for every one, mortars for every one, etc. The maps would be completely symmetrical and selected randomly or voted on. In ctf, the you drive into the enemies flag, you grab it and then try to return it to your base. Destroy the tower would be cool also, it would have respawns and there would be a tower with a certain amount of hit points that when destroyed, you loose . Important target; one player, selected at random, will have a more powerful weapon, selected at random, the other players will respawn around him and if he dies, the game is lost. This is such a cool game and I love multiplayer and I think this game could be so much more than it already is with multiplayer.
Really fun game but...
This is a really fun game! I love the idea, I love how it's really simple and basic, and how there is different ammo. I just beat the game (not just passed the level but got a gold medal for all the levels and all the worlds) and I gotta say, it was $1 spent well. I do have one problem though. When I beat the game, it said, "Laser Wars is now free!" I tapped on it to get it, but I didn't have wifi. I connected to wifi and tried to get the game, but it showed me that the game was $1. I beat the last level again, hoping it would pop up, but nothing happened. Now if I want to get the game, I have to spend money when it said it was free! I don't know if Clapfoot was lying about it being free (which I doubt) but why do I have to buy it now? My guess is it's a reward for beating the game. Please help Clapfoot!
Possibly Best Game on App Store
This is the only app I have wanted to write a review on --- the stunning quality and meticulous effort that clearly went into the production of this app makes for an enjoyable, progressively entertaining game that will never fail to bore you. The only downside is there's not as many levels as there could be, but there's a survival mode for each level that's guaranteed to keep you busy even after you've finished the campaign mode. There's a steady increase in difficulty, constantly changing enemies (not just more), and you are given artillery upgrades often so the game just keeps getting better and better.

1965 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon
One of the rarest of the micro buses is the 21-Window Walk-Through. The standard configuration provided a front bench seat, but this offering has the more sought after walk-through concept, which is fitted with two separate front seats so the passenger can walk to the back of the bus. This Deluxe Samba model has loads of expensive and hard-to-restore trim items, such as full-length "deco" strips of alloy with rubber inserts, model correct bumpers and 21 windows!
This bus has only had three owners and is an original Delaware County, Pennsylvania vehicle. It was in heated storage for over 20 years. A complete restoration took place in 2010. Since that time it has been used only for parades and car shows, turning heads and earning several first place trophies. During the restoration the body was stripped and bead blasted and then professionally painted. It was restored to stock specifications. The bus features a fresh 1600cc engine and an original stock matching interior and headliner. Amazingly, this bus has kept all it's trim and original accessories since new (bright work, jail bars, grab handles on middle seat, kick plates etc… ).
Below are other additional features:
- Pennsylvania inspection valid until September, 2017
- New chrome safari windows
- 12-volt electrical system up-grade, except for gas gauge, radio and clock
- New brake lines and brakes
- New steering box and restored original steering wheel
- Comes complete with original German-produced luggage ladder
- Luggage rack
- Original tool kit and manual
- Special accessories are included for showing:

- Coca Cola red vintage cooler and leather luggage
This is a must-see, complete and carefully restored vehicle. Our family has thoroughly enjoyed the bus. Now with the girls in college, it's time to sell and pay their tuition!!!On Oct-06-16 at 15:34:34 PDT, seller added the following information:

Rep. Eric Cantor, the incoming House majority leader, has a long to-do list for the new GOP-led House that's topped by a desire to cut spending and taxes.
Resolutions honoring sports teams are also on his list of cuts.
In an op-ed Monday for AOL News, the Virginia Republican wrote: "The Republicans who make up our new majority did not run for Congress to provide a subsidy to a particular industry or interest...or to spend our time congratulating collegiate basketball teams for having a good season -- even if we happened to be a fan."
Congress routinely votes on measures honoring sports teams and athletes. Today, when the House convenes for its second day of a lame-duck session, lawmakers will consider resolutions honoring the late New York Yankees announcer Bob Sheppard (H Res 1529) and a draft bill congratulating Penn State football coach Joe Paterno on his 400th win.
Boycotting sports resolutions in Congress has been a tradition for some.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, who played football for BYU, told FoxNews.com earlier this year: "It finally just got to be enough. It's absurd." So he votes "present" on these sports resolutions, meaning Chaffetz is on record that he's there in the House chamber but not saying "yes" or "no" to the legislation.
Voting "present" on sports resolutions has been around for a while. Democrats Peter DeFazio of Oregon and Jim Oberstar of Wisconsin are among those who don't want to spend House time on these matters.

There is much to be said for the Yorkshire Dales becoming bigger.
Yorkshire is synonymous with size. If the biggest county wasn't so big, it would join the rest of the itsy-bitsy, now-you-see-it-now-don't countries like Rutland, Dorset or, indeed, Lancashire. Yorkshire is big even for Americans. As Gore Vidal once told a London hostess when arriving hours late for dinner after driving down from Scotland: "We forgot about Yorkshire."
But I can see why Yorkshire has qualms about extending the national park. You tamper with Yorkshire at your peril. Disliked by all, the river-straddling county of Humberside limped on for 22 years before the component parts were restored to East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
This shotgun marriage of Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria – an indigestible hotchpotch of pudding, hotpot and curly sausage – should be dropped forthwith. I'd go further and bring back the Ridings. That would give the minor counties even more to moan about.
Will Dean
The Local Government Act 1972 may have meant that – hailing from Oldham – I've never actually been a proper Lancastrian, but as long as Lancashire's bowlers thunder in from the Brian Statham end at Old Trafford, I will describe myself as one.
It's that 1972 subdivision that rankles most when considering the invasion of Leck Fell. It's all well and good to boast about the size of "God's own country" but given that Lancashire's two cultural, industrial and sporting powerhouses were removed from Roses rivalry, the point is moot. Yorkshire might be bigger, but it's certainly not better. Even without Manchester and Liverpool, Lancashire boasts more wonders than our flat-capped neighbour across the Moors.
Give me the commentary-box chuckles of David Lloyd over the self-importance of Boycott any day; give me Bullseye's Jim Bowen; give me Uncle Joe's Mint Balls; give me Clitheroe sausage and Lancashire cheese.
So go on, Yorkshire – as my compatriots would say, do one.

Overall: Built on the classic model, with the most strength on the blueline and at center, this is a team that will have a lot of the puck. It is also a team that will lean heavily on its first units at even strength and on the powerplay, as the depth scoring is not particularly dangerous. But the first unit is very strong and is spearheaded by one of the all-time great playoff scorers, and the team is well-built to protect a lead, so it is definitely a formula that can work.
Goal: You got a good one in Hughie Lehman, who I wanted to draft as my starter last year. The more we look into the split league era, the more the line between Vezina, Benedict and Lehman seems to blur. Benedict's status in the ATD is well-established, and he was by far the biggest winner of the three, but I think the other two have been and remain somewhat underrated in this thing. Lehman's peak longevity is simply remarkable. He was a first team all star for something like fifty seven seasons in a row in the PCHA, most of the time beating out Holmes, which is not weak competition. He had his hiccups in the playoffs, but playoff performance is only one part of a player's career, and should not be overblown. I think he is the equal of Tony Esposito, who we know is capable of backstopping an ATD champion.
Defense: The top pairing among the best in the league. It is physical, fast, and very strong both ways. A complete and dominant top pairing; not much else to say about it. The second pairing is fairly average, I think. I have been a critic of Derian Hatcher in this draft not because I think he was such a terrible value where you took him (though maybe he was a bit of a reach), but because I think he is overrated relative to other defensive defensemen like Schoenfeld and Beck. I think Hatcher is a classic example of a recently retired player whose intangibles are blown out of proportion (in this case in a positive way). That being said, Hatcher is fine in his role on this team. He is either a low-end #3 or an excellent #4, and will do a good job for you if given a suitable partner.
Art Duncan is a good partner for Hatcher. I am not as high on him as you seem to be. He obviously had one very strong season where he was arguably the best defenseman in the world (though I would probably choose George Boucher in that season), and was a PCHA 1st team all-star three times, overall. I don't put a whole lot of value in PCHA 2nd team all-star selections, especially at defense and especially later on after the Patricks retired. It was a four team league in most seasons, and other than Moose Johnson, there really wasn't a whole lot of high-end depth on the blueline. Even a 1st team PCHA selection in the seasons Duncan did it is of somewhat questionable value to me. In today's terms, I think it is probably equivalent value to a 5th - 10th finish in AST voting, and a 2nd team finish is probably about 10th - 15th value (and that is being generous). Duncan's best season is probably worth a 1st AST finish in today's terms; for a defenseman to lead any top league in scoring is a big deal. So if you convert Duncan's peak performance to today's terms, I think his peak is worth something like this in equivalent AST voting finishes:
It is at any rate a very big backline, with good complementary parts, an extremely strong top pairing and a 2nd pairing that will get the job done.
Forwards: The Stastny - Richard combination on your top line will produce a lot of points, especially in the playoffs, where both men consistently raised their level of play. They will not, however, play much defense. In theory, a classic "spear carrier" who can win pucks and be the line's defensive conscience would have made sense on the left wing. You took Zetterberg where I would have taken Propp. Zett was certainly worth the pick where you chose him, but a meaningful chunk of his defensive value is lost on the wing, and he doesn't contribute as much grit and puckwinning as you'd like to see in that spot. The line can go with "puckwinning by committee" and get away with it, but I do think it is a small weakness that would have been better addressed with a more physical left winger. Zett's defense from the wing is going to be put to a severe test against ATD 1st line RWs and on a line with a couple of guys who aren't going to help out much. It is fortunate that this line will be backed by such a strong top pairing most of the time at even strength.
The second line is not one of my favorites. Jacques Lemaire is certainly a strong 2nd line center, but he is a tricky player to build around, and I don't know if I like the combination of pieces here. He is not your typical high-end playmaker from the center position. Indeed, there are centers available quite a few rounds later who were better playmakers than Jacques. So, in theory, he needs a winger who can carry the playmaking for the line. Billy Guerin, while I think a fine 2nd liner at even strength, is obviously not that guy. So that leaves the primary playmaking duties to Marcus Naslund. I like Naz, but I think that is asking a bit too much of him at this level. Naslund could pass the puck, but he is a slightly biased goalscorer, himself, and...I just think the line is going to sputter at times. Lemaire is obviously a very strong two-way player and Guerin was a reliable checker with a lot of grit, so the line will play well both ways even when the offense runs cold.
The third line is ok. Carbonneau is obviously an outstanding checker with at least decent offensive value. I would normally try to flank Carbonneau with really strong defensive wingers and make it a pure shutdown unit, with any offense considered a bonus. You have chosen to go with two-way players on the wings. Gustafsson, I like as a two-way third liner who you got at good value. He was a strong all-arounder and a terrific skater in his prime. I am less high on Westwick, who I see as more of a good 4th liner. Maybe I just need convincing, but I think you'd have been better off with a guy like Jiri Holik, Gilles Tremblay or Adam Graves where you took Westwick. The wings aren't strong enough defensively to make this a shutdown line, and the line as a whole isn't strong enough offensively to be a great two-way unit, either. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but it looks below-average to me.
Special teams first units look strong other than Westwick on the 1st unit PK. Again...maybe I just need to be sold; you obviously value him higher than I do. Second units are only ok.
In the end, this team will live and die by its top units, at even strength and on special teams. Those top units are very strong, so it will be interesting to see what happens when you come up against an opponent with more depth.
-Once again a fantastic 1st line for the Leafs. Hull and Neely are straight forward bull-dozer types of course, but you can't ask for a better center than Bentley between those two to get them both the puck. There may be a notion that there isn't enough pucks to go around for these three, but I don't buy it. One of the best first lines in the league.
-Pretty big drop off to the second wave. Sittler is the only legit top 6'er on this line IMO. Clark is more of a prototypical 3rd line banger at this level and Sloan is Sloan. The pure offense of Sittler will provide some secondary offence but if the top line runs cold in a series this is a huge concern.
-Run of the mill 3rd line, but nice elements none the less. I like the Sutter-Henderson checking connection, but Whitney deosn't fit here.
-Jarvis is a great option as a 4th line C.
-Yikes. Can Brewer log 30 minutes a game? Because Huddy-Rafalski and Persson-Barilko would get exposed badly against a coach on the other side that has any matchup sense. A poor group of 6 overall that could be your downfall.
Broda is awesome obviously. Could stand on his head any series - and this may be your ticket to a couple series victories, despite holes on defence.
Bowman is one of the best obviously, but not the best IMO. He always had star-studded superior rosters to work with.
Overall not a bad entry this time LL, but we'll see what the others think. There's plenty to like (a kick-ass 1st line, star goaltender, some nice grit and heart scattered throughout) but there is also obvious holes.
Holmström on the first PK-unit? Sologubov on first pairing? I guess i know why did you draft 3 goalies, you plan to have two of them on the ice.

Playoff TOI totals (Regular season ones will be a little more evened out)
Hopefully I'll get a chance to post some bios with my team. There are a few that I did already (particularly the ones on Benedict, Harmon, and Walker are good), but I know tomorrow night and Tuesday particularly will be devoted to doing a few. Also, I have a feeling there are a couple it'll be tough for me to improve upon, such as Fred Lake and Charlie Hodge, so I may just link those to my guy. Particularly, I'm going to try to do one on Eddie Gerard, Ott Heller, Dave Keon, Lynn Patrick and Reijo Ruotsalainen.
Tkachuk-Roenick-Amonte is a more dangerous looking line offensively than Walker-Keon-Doan!
holmstrom should never never play PK, even if it were AA draft.
holmstrom is weak defensively, slow and never used on PK. he is a PP specialist who has been carried by datsyuk and sometimes zetterberg for most of the 2nd half of his careeer. also not a good player at ES.
I also fairly certain that Keon is better defensively than Gilmour.
By the way, MB, with those two it's a matter of degrees and fits. Both are awesome two way players.
Pretty much I wanted to be able to create scoring from all four lines, and I think the best way to do that I by having two good two-way guys at the top two centers.
Still, it's a two-way top 6 that isn't going to scare anyone with their offensive skills but then they are supported by a deadly 3rd line. You've got an interesting team.
My goal is to do a full assassination of everyone in my division, and offer at least a few comments on everyone that has linked bios for their roster post in here.

- Let's begin with good news, you have the best coach in this thing, I have no idea what role has Bylsma and what does he add, I don't think he is needed.
- Broda is one of the best second tier goaltenders, still don't understand why do you need two backups, especially since neither is a good one in the ATD sense
- You have a lot of talent on your first line, IMO too much - i don't see Hull and Bentley working together, they can share with the second line, since it depends on Sittler alone.
- Your Bottom 6 is a mess. Which role has your third line? You have a defencive minded centre, a offencive minded soft left wing and not really minded Henderson
- Your 4th line is worse. You have one of the best defencive forwards with PP-specialist who sucks in his own zone and Hartnell... well ... i guess he has ATD-worthy hair.
- i would try something like this with your forwards:
Hull-Sittler-Sloanor since you can put my grandmother on Bobby Hull's wing and that line would still produce:
this way you have two strong very balanced scoring lines, a two-way line, and a checking line that doesn't suck.
- Well, your defence isn't that easy to fix. Brewer is lower end first pairing defenceman. Sologubov is 3rd pairing defenceman. And they don't work together. The biggest problem is, that don't have anybody capable of playing on the fisrt pairing besides Brewer. Rafalski is not that good, and it would make your first pairing tiny. Maybe Huddy?
- Well the second pairing is ok, as it is, but if you put Huddy on your first pairing you have nobody to play with Rafalski.
- Persson is PP-specialist. Barilko is a hero, but doesn't belongs there. With Iafrate in lineup thing doesn't get any better.
- Your special teams are a mess too. Your top PP QB (Persson) isn't even on your 2nd PP-unit. Holmström isn't on any PP-unit. And you have two PP-specialists on your top PK-unit. Your second PK-unit is actually ok. This units can be at least decent if you fix them.
I like this lineup a lot better.
Vecens, just noticed you have Rick Middleton with 21.5 minutes, basically superstar ice time. I can't see it working

Trujillo: Today's first match in the Copa America was excellent for Argentina. The 1-1 draw between Bolivia and Venezuela in Trujillo secured Marcelo Bielsa's side a spot among the last eight in Copa America. Bolivia began in offensive mood, but lost midfielder Pizarro to injury in the 21st minute. Six minutes later, Venezuela opened the scoring. But Bolivia equalized through Miguel Mercado five minutes later. Now, Bolivia will pray for a 1-1 tie between Chile and Costa Rica in Tacna on Wednesday. A 2-2 tie will decide qualification with the drawing of lots. Venezuela are out of the tournament now.

Little factoids about me: I travel a lot and love my gypsy lifestyle; I'm a vegetarian; I love Canada; and I'm originally from San Diego.

I am nerdy, sultry, and kind
Update: Physically... People tend to first notice my really long dark hair, then the fact that I'm very petite; then they usually comment on how young I look (pet peeve #1); and ask my ethnicity.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs confirmed a few more subjects that may surface in the State of the Union tomorrow night, including immigration and gays in the military -- but he provided few details and noted that the address is still being edited.
"Let's wait for tomorrow's speech," Gibbs said at one point.
The spokesman did say that Obama would mention immigration, but added that it's up to Congress to get the ball rolling on new legislation. Gibbs said, "we've started a process on this," and if Congress can put together "a coalition to get the way forward, then it's something we'll work through."
Gibbs also had little to add on the Clinton-era "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy regarding gays in the military, though he did say it is under discussion at the White House. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said this week that the White House asked him to postpone a hearing on Don't Ask, Don't Tell until after the president's address.
The president also plans to discuss new bio-terrorism response plans, as Oval colleague Mimi Hall reports.
And the administration's call for a domestic spending freeze will get a lot of attention, and probably some criticism from allies.
As for tone, expect the president to be "feisty" at times, Gibbs said. "I don't doubt that at times he's going to believe that while Washington may not want to make progress in certain ways that Washington has to be pushed to make that progress," he added, "whether that's health care reform or cutting our budget."
The president also has a purpose in this speech, Obama said.
"He looks at the State of the Union as a time in which to update the American people on what's been done and where we go from here, going forward," Gibbs said. "This is not about him; this is about what we have to do, going forward, for the American people."

The imperialist unions, the inter-imperialist contradictions
and the stance of the communists.
By Makis Papadopoulos*.
Source: International Communist Review, Issue 6, 2015.
A century has passed since the historic theoretical confrontation between Lenin and Kautsky in relation to the definition that determines the socio-economic content of imperialism, as well as over the theory of "Ultra-imperialism". It is well-known that Lenin waged fierce polemics against Kautsky's position on imperialism, which identified it as a policy preferred by the advanced industrial countries in order to dominate weaker agricultural countries. He also more generally criticized the detachment of imperialist politics from its economic base, the dominance of monopoly capitalism. It is also well-known that Lenin criticized the opportunist position which argued that the development of the capitalist economy internationally leads to ultra-imperialism, to a great interdependence of the interests of the bourgeois classes of the various countries.

from Zero Hedge:
After warning about cracking down on 'virtual' capital outflows earlier in the week, Chinese officials have come out more directly against Bitcoin this morning with the country's central bank urging China's institutional and individual investors should take a rational approach to investing in virtual currencies. Bitcoin in China has legged lower on the news.
Bitcoin prices had showed abnormal fluctuations, the Shanghai head office of the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said in a notice.
This prompted branch officials to meet representatives of a major bitcoin trading platform in China, BTCC.
They cautioned against potential risks in the platform's operations and asked it to carry out "self-inspection" according to the law, the bank said.
It stressed bitcoin is not a currency and cannot be circulated as a real currency in the market.
The reaction is clear with Bitcoin China tumbling to 5700 Yuan – down 35% from record highs…

On Reading Lord Dunsany's Book of Wonder
by H. P. Lovecraft
Story copied from the Wikisource.
The hours of night unheeded fly,
And in the grate the embers fade;
Vast shadows one by one pass by
In silent daemon cavalcade.
But still the magic volume holds
The raptur'd eye in realms apart,
And fulgent sorcery enfolds
The willing mind and eager heart.
The lonely room no more is there -
For to the sight in pomp appear
Temples and cities pois'd in air
And blazing glories - sphere on sphere.

When a sandwich is too big, it can be held together with a toothpick or blended into a purée and spread between two pieces of bread. Keep it together with this Groupon.
$17 for Four 10-Inch Cheesesteak Sandwiches ($35.96 Value)
Groupon buyers receive a punch card for 10-inch sandwiches worth $8.99 each. The menu includes classic, chicken, and veggie philly cheesesteaks, as well as more than two dozen varieties with toppings such as mushrooms, barbecue sauce, and bacon.
Cheese Steak Restaurant
Cheesesteak historians trace the sandwich's ancestry back to Pat Oliveri, a Philadelphian who combined sliced beef and onions over a Italian roll; once someone made the ingenious decision to add cheese, the classic combination was born. Today, Cheese Steak Restaurant's sandwich-smiths continue that noble tradition with more than 30 cheesesteak varieties.
Take your pick of either the classic, a chicken version, or a hoagie-style cheesesteak (topped with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise), and you have the option to pile it with grilled onions, hot cherry peppers, or sweet bell peppers. Other varieties feature added ingredients such as roasted cloves or garlic, mushrooms, or teriyaki sauce. There's also a veggie-only option, and diners can order twister fries, steak fries, fried mushrooms, and zucchini sticks to as a side dish or in case they need edible confetti for a chef's birthday party.
