Gateways, Web shape next-gen home networks
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. Tomorrow's home networks will be shaped by a race to bring the Web to digital home products and the rising influence of service providers, according to a market watcher in an online talk.
More than 350 million households worldwide will have some form of home network by 2013, many focused on video-on-demand services, predicted Kurt Scherf, principal analyst at Parks Associates in a Webinar Thursday (August 27). By contrast, the biggest application for today's home nets is printer sharing (49 percent) followed by file sharing (35 percent), he said.
"It's surprising that we still see relatively limited use of even these basic home networking features," Scherf said.
The vast majority of today's nets are based on Wi-Fi routers bought at retail, but service providers are driving adoption of wired links as they deploy residential gateways. Parks predicts residential gateways will grow from use in about a third of networked homes at the end of 2009 to use in about half of all home nets in 2013.
"Wi-Fi remains king, but wired especially powerline networks will come on stronger as service providers bring gateways into the picture and we see a rise of video services," Scherf said.
As the mix of networks shift, the systems riding them are in an all-out race to deliver links to the Internet creating an "overwhelming variety of solutions," he said.
"The question is who will create the secondary or tertiary devices that will connect to premium services beyond the set-top box and residential gateway," said Scherf. "I think there will be strong movement by service providers to link platforms together, and we will see online video growth through connected TVs," he added.
Connected TVs, cloud-media set-tops see biggest growth.

Beyond the set-top or gateway, videogame consoles represent the biggest group of Web-linked systems in the digital living room today with about 15 million installed worldwide. "The big change in connected consumer devices is in cloud-media set-top boxes," he said, referring to systems such as AppleTV and the Roku and Vudu video players bought at retail that sport their own links to Web-based video libraries.
Sales of such Web media systems will rise from about 6.6 million in 2009 to 10.5 million next year, Parks estimates. However, 82 percent of users told Parks they prefer getting video services through a traditional TV provider's set-top, potentially limiting growth for retail systems.
Meanwhile, Internet-connected TVs are also on the rise from estimated sales of 2.4 million sets in 2009 to seven million in 2010. The percent of HDTVs sold with Web links will rise from three percent in 2009 to 25 percent of all HDTVs sold in 2013, he added.
So far, user demand for traditional video-on-demand services far outweighs desire for interactivity.
Forty-four percent of users told Parks they want access to VoD from their TV, but only 23 percent said they want to access the Web. When asked about advanced features on Blu-Ray drives, 35 percent of users said they wanted VoD but only 17 percent wanted Internet content.
Users want video on demand much more than links to the Web.

Where ever the media comes from, Parks sees the need for storage on home networks rising ten-fold from 2009 to 2013 to more than a terabyte. That will drive sales for home servers and network-attached storage devices, Scherf said.

NEW YORK — After a protracted battle that set off a national debate over freedom of religion, a Muslim center and mosque to be built two blocks from ground zero surmounted a final hurdle yesterday.
The city's Landmarks Preservation Commission voted 9-0 against granting historic protection to the building at 45-47 Park Place in Lower Manhattan, where the $100 million center would be built.
That decision clears the way for a tower of as many as 15 stories that will house a mosque, a 500-seat auditorium, and a pool. Its leaders say it will be modeled on the YMCA and Jewish Community Center in Manhattan.
The vote yesterday was free of much of the vitriol that had been part of previous hearings. One by one, members of the commission debated the aesthetic significance of the building, designed in the Italian Renaissance Palazzo style by an unknown architect.
Christopher Moore, a member of the commission, said the vote was not a matter of religion, though he argued that the building could not be divorced from the memory of the Sept. 11 attacks.
"It is not directly on ground zero, but it is a part of ground zero,'' Moore said.
After the commission voted, several members of the audience shouted "Shame on you!'' and "Disgrace!'' One woman carried a sign reading, "Don't Glorify Murders of 3,000; No 9/11 Victory Mosque.''
The issue had divided family members of those killed on Sept. 11. Some argued it was insensitive to the memory of those who died in the attacks. Others saw it as a symbol of tolerance to counter the religious extremism that prevailed on that day.
Yesterday, Rick A. Lazio, a Republican candidate for governor, appeared at the vote to oppose the project. Lazio called on his Democratic rival, Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo, to investigate the finances of the group spearheading the project, the Cordoba Initiative.
"Let's have transparency,'' Lazio said. "If they're foreign governments, we ought to know about it. If they're radical organizations, we ought to know about it.''
Sharif El-Gamal, chief executive of SoHo Properties, the developer of the project, praised the commission's decision. He said the center represented "an American dream which so many others share.''

Many kinds of bushes and trees in the Taxus genus are grown in the landscape, including Japanese yews, English yew bushes and crosses between the two. But as always when discussing plants, it is best to begin with the taxonomy, to ensure that everyone knows the exact plant to which we are referring. In the case of Taxus, we must pay particular attention to the taxonomy of the Japanese yews.
When people use the common name, "Japanese yews," much confusion can arise.
All true yews belong to the genus, Taxus. That includes Taxus cuspidata, plants which bear the common name, "Japanese yews." However, plants of an entirely different genus, namely, Podocarpus macrophylla, are also commonly referred to as "Japanese yews," so be careful. This is just one more instance showing why we use scientific names of plants when we need to be exact.
Yew bushes often serve either as foundation plants around a house or in hedges. Varieties used in privacy hedges are often much taller than they are wide (since you need the extra height for screening). By contrast, yews with a spreading habit are more suitable as foundation plants or in short, decorative hedges.
Yew bushes are slow growers. This is not necessarily a drawback for shrubs used as foundation plants, since a slow growth-rate means there is less care that you need to give them (that is, less pruning). But homeowners who plant hedges (especially hedges specifically for privacy) usually want quick results.
If you have your heart set on using yew bushes to form a privacy hedge, buy mature plants. Otherwise, the wait will be too much for you.
All yew bushes are needle-bearing evergreens. The foliage on most is dense and is a dark green color on top, with a lighter underside. The needles are flat. Most yew bushes can be grown in USDA plant hardiness zones 4-7 in ground with a neutral soil pH.
They are generally dioecious. Yew bushes produce red berries called "arils."
Yew bushes can be grown in sun, partial shade, or full shade. Their shade-tolerance gives landscape designers an important option in areas tough to plant. Another selling point is the ease with which overgrown yew bushes can be rejuvenated. Most mature evergreens do not respond well to a severe pruning. Arborvitae and yew bushes are the exceptions.
Sizes and shapes vary widely between the different varieties of yew bushes. It is important to be aware of these differences. Yew bushes suitable as foundation plants or short, decorative hedges will not necessarily be a good fit for privacy hedges, and vice versa.
Let's take a look, then, at some of the cultivars of yew bushes, what they look like, and common uses for them. English yew bushes (Taxus baccata) and Japanese yews (Taxus cuspidata) are among the most popular, as are their hybrid crosses (Taxus × media), which include Hick's yews and Taunton yews.
Irish Yew Bushes, Japanese Yews, Hick's Yews, Taunton Yews
- Spreading English yew bushes (Taxus baccata 'Repandens'): spreading growth habit, 2-4 feet high by 12-15 feet wide, and used as foundation plants or in short, decorative hedges.
- Irish Yews (Taxus baccata 'Fastigiata'): columnar shape, 15-30 feet high by 4-8 feet wide, and used in privacy hedges; one of the English yew bushes.
- "Emerald Spreader" Japanese yews (Taxus cuspidata 'Monloo'): spreading growth habit, 30 inches high by 8-10 feet wide, and used as foundation plants or in short, decorative hedges.
- Hick's yews (Taxus × media 'Hicksii'): columnar shape, 12-20 feet high by 6-10 feet wide, and used in privacy hedges.
- Taunton yews (Taxus × media 'Tauntonii'): spreading growth habit, 3-4 feet high by 3-4 feet wide, and used as foundation plants or in short, decorative hedges; resists winter-burn.
The oil derived from yew bushes, taxol, is used for treating breast and ovarian cancer. But don't let that fool you. All parts of yew bushes are poisonous, except for the fleshy red berry.
And since yew seeds are poisonous, and the seed matures within the berry, even the latter can be considered "off limits." Keep small children away from yew bushes!
Yews and Christmas Decorating
But let's end on a lighter note about yews. These plants have long been a part of the Christmas tradition in Britain and elsewhere in Europe. Sprigs are often cut from yews to be used like holly in natural Christmas decorations focused on greenery. Whole yews have been used as Christmas trees.
As is noted in this article on the history of Christmas trees, it was Prince Albert who solidified the place of the Christmas tree in Britain. But Albert's tree was not the first. That honor, according to Denise Silvester-Carr, falls to the yew set up as a Christmas tree by Queen Charlotte, another royal of German descent, in 1800:
Prince Albert is usually credited with introducing the Christmas tree that graces nearly every house and high street in December. In truth, they appeared 40 years earlier. Queen Charlotte, the wife of George III, had a yew tree hung with sweets and toys and illuminated with small wax candles for a party for local children at Windsor on Christmas Day in the year 1800.

Partly sunny with a chance of manufacturing growth
Content manager Bob Vavra shares his views on the similarities between weather and manufacturing in his January/February 2012 In Conclusion column.
Weather is not an exact science. Few of them are, as it turns out, but weather is the one that gets its own segment on the nightly newscast. In recent years, we've seen global radar and digital displays turn the weather into its own little three-minute multi-media presentation.
Behind the glitz is the actually science, of course, Meteorology is a lot more than looking out the window at the clouds or sticking a finger up in the air – let alone consulting grandma's hyperactive bunion or grandpa's trick knee. People study the data and form an opinion about what's going to happen next. The stereotypes about weathermen aside, if four people in the same town tell you it's going to snow tomorrow, it's a good idea to have your shovel ready.
The weather forecast for manufacturing is partly sunny, according to most experts we've surveyed for the 2012 Forecast issue at Plant Engineering. More importantly, the storm front is passing, the skies are clearing and there are better days ahead in the long-range forecast. These aren't hopeful wishes; they are data-driven, reasoned outlooks for our immediate future. If nothing else, they should make us want to want to get out and do a few more things.
The time for waiting for the storm to pass is over. It's time to invest in manufacturing, to travel and explore the rest of the world for potential new markets, to take a few minutes to appreciate the sunshine and warmth.
It's never warm enough for some people, of course, and a return to full prosperity will take more time. That's no reason not to get ready. It's the same reason we do spring cleaning each year. We do it to get prepared for the summer – so we won't have to waste a minute of the warmth on preparation we could have done earlier.
It's time, now, to start evaluating your operation. (It actually was time about a year ago when we first saw the signs of rebirth in manufacturing.) It's time to study our four major areas for operational improvement for 2012:
- Safety: Is there any reason you cannot make safety the top priority for you and your organization in 2012? The potential for cost savings and operational efficiency is so great, and the cost for a lack of safety so enormous, that it must be a financial imperative for every plant. But safety is first about people, and if you do not value your employees, no amount of cost savings will earn their loyalty.
- Maintenance: The best plants deliver high output at low overall costs. Like safety, I believe maintenance is a profit center. It delivers productivity with little waste and high quality. Make this the year that you devise and execute a maintenance strategy.
- Energy: Here's a budget line item that has been transferred from Accounts Payable to the plant manager's domain. Managing energy costs represent the single greatest opportunity to reduce your day-to-day operational costs, and yet it is just starting to get the attention it deserves. The economics of the day demand that you look at electrical power, fossil fuels and compressed air as cost centers to be managed and not bills to be paid.
- People: You have time to train and develop your staff, and you have a need to scout and recruit new talent. You have to be proactive on both fronts. Don't wait for a performance gap or an unexpected retirement or resignation to spur you into action. The best time to look for a job is when you have one; the best time to find new workers is before you need them.
I think we've sat inside long enough, waiting for things to get better. Even if the winds do change, all of these efforts above will help weather the next storm, and the one after that. We're going to spend this year talking about each of these areas in great depth in print, and each day at our Website, PlantEngineering.com. I think the opportunities are greater than the challenges, and those manufacturers who seize the opportunities in 2012 will be the ones basking in the sun this time next year.
Being a Midwestern boy, I often get asked about Chicago winters. I tell people I've come to appreciate Chicago winters if for no other reason than they make me appreciate Chicago summers all the more.
It's now springtime for manufacturing. Winter is over, and if there are a few chilly and rainy days left, that shouldn't stop us from looking ahead. Summer is just around the corner.

Grilled Pizza Friday
Since grilled pizza (especially on a charcoal grill) is a quick process, I got all the ingredients together before we started cooking:
I wanted slices of fresh tomato on my pizza and we used basil from the garden and fresh, milky mozzarella. I also made a quick tomato sauce using two jars of tomatoes my mom and I canned last summer. I also divided the dough into four pieces and rolled them out nice and thin.
We started by grilling the dough until it was partially cooked and starting to char, then removed each piece to a plate so we could build the pizzas:
I spread a thin layer of sauce over each piece of dough, then scattered some basil leaves and pieces of fresh mozzarella:
On one pizza I put the slices of tomato:
... and then we put the pizzas back on the grill and covered it to melt the cheese and finish cooking the dough.
Our grill is on the small side so we could only cook one pizza at a time. By the time the last pizza was cooked I'd run out of daylight to photograph with.
We loved the grilled flavor of the pizza. It's a totally different flavor then regular pizza.

Joelen - I know! I feel like I need to fit in so many things before the weather changes for good!ReplyDelete
i wish i was allowed to have a grill, but living in a condo with a balcony doesn't allow that!ReplyDelete
anyway-- if i had a grill I'd be grilling all year long no matter what the weather is. You don't have to stand out there waiting for everything to grill! (My dad grills all year long) =)
and the pizza does look amazing!
Erin - Oh, we definitely grill all year long, but it isn't as frequent in the winter months, especially for something like pizza where you do need to stay out there the whole time to keep the dough from burning.ReplyDelete

Molera Wilderness Area
Bill Monning announced today that he will not be proceeding with the bill this year. This is what he had to say:
10 Responses to "Molera Wilderness Area"
Wilderness designation does hamper firefighter access. Certainly modifications can be addressed once a fire has started but in the case of Marble-Cone initial attack was denied use of mechanical equipment.
My cousin responded initial attack on Marble-Cone and has repeated many times that they had the fire dead at 200 acres but could not employ their saws and bulldozers. We all know it burned 200,000 + acres.
I am not judging, I like Wilderness designated areas but by definition fire access is limited.
Does one suppose that "Buffer Zones" will be needed around the boundries of wilderness areas ?
There's seems to a lot of confusion with regard to fighting fire within designated Wilderness, and perhaps understandably so given that it's guided by some fairly complex legislation. My understanding of the basics with regard to federal lands, based upon research and personal communcation with USFS management, is that chainsaws and portable pumps can be used immediately, as soon as there's a smoke. No special permission necessary – get in there and take care of it. Bulldozers, however, need the OK from the Regional Forester, which in the this case is in Vallejo, CA. I've been told that said permission is only a phone call away at best, but can take up to two or three hours to obtain at worse. The request can be submitted as soon as smoke is seen.That said, many USFS personnel have a strong respect for the Wilderness Act and may take the time necessary to make sure that tools as resource-damaging as dozers are in fact needed; that it can't be handled with hand tools (including chainsaws). So yes, Wilderness designation does put a tiny constraint on firefighting, but in my opinion not at all to the extent that many people believe it does.
What is the point in all the effort to make this a "state" wilderness area anyway? It is located in a remote area that is all brush and steep hillside. No one ever uses it because there are no trails within it. It will always be safe from from develoment because it is in a State Park. Since it is not a "federal" wilderness what is the response for permission from the state level to allow fire fighting access? It is not the same as calling Vallejo. So what is wrong with just keeping it park of Andrew Molera State Park? How is it not safe the way it is now?
I guess the idea of the wilderness does not bother me at all since the biggest threat of fire starts is actually in the highway corridor and residential areas, not the back country. While the large fires you have all cited burned in the wilderness, we have to remember that Basin started as Gallery inside the firebreak and moved out. The "Big Box" really means nothing since very few resident have made any effort to clear effectively to protect their homes or neighborhoods anyways.

Kids With Cellphones Scare the Crap Out of Me - What do you think about kids with cellphones?
Kids With Cellphones Scare the Crap Out of Me
My family was one of the first to own a computer. We only owned one because my dad is a gadget freak, not because my parents are cutting edge -- my mother STILL doesn't understand how call waiting works.
But I'd sit there in my footie pajamas while my dad inserted these gigantic floppy discs into the large machine so that I could do things like "learn to tell time" by reading a gigantic green clock. Not quite on the level of Angry Birds, but I digress.
My son is 11 and a half (the half being of utmost importance), and he's asking for a cellphone, which freaks me out. I didn't have one until I was 21, and even then, the thing took up half my purse.
Ah, how the times have changed!
I'm trying my best to be a hip mom and all, but I can't see any good coming from allowing my kid to have a cellphone. I mean, he can't remember to put on socks -- how would he even remember to charge the thing? (This from the person who hasn't charged her phone in three days.)
And then there are the apps. I've been okay with the apps for my phone directed at my small kids -- they're fairly educational, and obnoxious blinky ads aside, I'm pretty comfortable letting them play on my phone. Especially since they use the phone to watch Netflix even though the television is MUCH bigger than the pack of smokes sized iPhone I use whenever I remember to charge it.
But there's an app for Facebook. One for Twitter. One for Tumblr. What if my kid decides it's time to open up a Facebook profile and write crap about me on his wall? Or tweet things about how I "rarely wear pants" and "how gross it is"?
To say I'm scared about the teen years is probably the biggest understatement of the century. (I was going to type "year," but since it's been 2013 for approximately six minutes, it seemed more appropriate to use "century.") I'm used to the mood swings and puberty stuffs -- I may not love it, but I can handle it.
But having a phone is like the gateway drug to teen-dom, which I am SO not ready for. Pretty soon, he's going to be asking about starting his own blog at which point, I may as well run and hide -- what if he finds MY blog?
Panic attacks notwithstanding, what am I supposed to do with a teenager? Take him to a Jonas Brothers concert? Glee reunion tours? American Idol tryouts? I don't know! I can't even tell you for sure if those exist anymore! I haven't watched American Idol since Mormon-Face won, so for all I know, it could be canceled!
*breathes deeply*
I can do this. I can survive the teen years. It's not like a monster is going to move in and take over my son's brain, right?
I can survive the teen years, right? I should just stock up on more vodka, right? I mean, heh-heh, I was an "angel" during the teen years -- my kid's gonna be even more angelic, right?
Pass the vodka.
What do you think about kids with cellphones?
I think until you can pay for it yourself, you dont need it
My Dd and Ds got a cell phone after they turned 8. Basic model, no internet. We had a scare where my Dd and I couldn't find each other (long story) and a cell phone fixed that. My Dd was not allowed to give her number to anyone until she was 12 and only to friends she and I have personally met. Though I am really lucky my kids have no interest in FB or chatting all day. The use it only when they are away from home. They take it to school, but it stays in their backpacks in the event they have to walk home or need to call home and are not allowed by the school (this has happened with my Ds). My kids rarely use their phones and after the divorce it was a good whay for their dad and them to communicate. Recently there was an a string of attempted abductions in our area, one of the kids that was the guy attempted to lure into a van ran away and using his cell phone took a pic of the car and guy. This was the third attempt the guy had made, and last. From that pic they where able to get the guy. There are also cases where kids use the cell phone to send dirty pics and other things that are worrying.
My son has a cellphone. He has to do chores to earn the money to pay his bill each month. If he doesn't do the work. It gets turned off. He's had it for a year now (he's ten). He's not allowed to give his number out. It's for family or emergency only.
I saw a kid yesterday with a cell phone and he was 6!!!! I have a 6 year old and I thought, "wow...I thought I gave my kids their phones too early at 12!" To be honest, my kids don't really need their phones, but except for one of my kids, they have taken very good care of them. In fact, I am trying to cut expenses so I will soon be DOWNgrading from smart phones to dumb phones since all we really need is the ability to place and receive phone calls and texting. To my surprise, when I told them about my plans, they didn't even argue! They just said, "ok".
Kids need them when they get to 8th or 9th grade. So at those ages I am all for them. Before then I think is ridiculous.
It isn't feasible to have told my kids when they could afford them. They are now in activities that they need to be able to contact me from. They do errands etc. and I need to be able to communicate with them. Also no one hires here until you are at least 16. I could never have told my 14yr old that he would have to wait till his junior year of HS before he could have a cell phone. Wouldn't work.
I don't think kids need cell phones until they're driving.
I'm sure they will always be around other kids with them before then, so I'm not worried about them not being able to find a way to call me if they need to.
Midwife, doula, or wanting to become one? Join the BRAND NEW group!! Midwives and Doulas I am also in need of someone to help run it/get members since it's so new, so if you want to help send me a PM!

Some things are quintessentially American. Consider the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips by Navy SEALs.
Bobbing on the open ocean, our servicemen required just three shots to kill three pirates almost simultaneously. It was an audacious display of marksmanship and skill. Few other nations could even dream of mounting such a rescue, let alone pull it off seamlessly.
So why are many of our leaders intent on compromising our military's ability to act decisively and effectively at sea?
For years, activists have been encouraging the United States to sign the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), a measure rightly vetoed by President Reagan decades ago and rejected by American leaders ever since. Now, the treaty has a friend in the White House.
"I will work actively to ensure that the U.S. ratifies the Law of the Sea Convention," candidate Barack Obama told the group "Scientists & Engineers for America" last year. He called the treaty "an agreement supported by more than 150 countries that will protect our economic and security interests while providing an important international collaboration to protect the oceans and its resources."
The treaty purports to protect the world's oceans. Ironically, though, it could make the high seas even more dangerous.
LOST would create a new U.N. bureaucracy called the International Seabed Authority Secretariat. How effective would the Secretariat be when it comes to security issues? Look no further than the U.N.'s toothless response to North Korea's recent missile launch.
Pyongyang's actions clearly violated a 2006 U.N. resolution that barred it from firing ballistic missiles. How did the world body respond? The U.N. Secretary-General said the launch was "not conducive to efforts to promote dialogue, regional peace and stability." No kidding, Dirty Harry. The Security Council, meanwhile, mildly condemned the launch and told North Korea not to do it again.
And the North Koreans? They simply declared they would restart their nuclear program. "We have no choice but to further strengthen our nuclear deterrent to cope with additional military threats by hostile forces," the country's Foreign Ministry announced.
There's no reason to expect the U.N. to do a better job of deterring pirates than it does deterring North Korea's nuclear ambitions. In fact, it's likely to be even more ineffective against ocean raiders than it is against atomic rogue states.
A nuclear program, after all, is expensive and involves many fixed assets. But pirates work in small teams aboard tiny boats on vast oceans. They can strike, quickly collect a ransom and disappear before U.N. bureaucrats even have time to book suitable accommodations at a beachfront hotel.
Had the United States been party to LOST, could our military's hands in the Phillips' rescue have been tied? According to The Wall Street Journal's Bret Stephens, the treaty "enjoins naval ships from simply firing on suspected pirates. Instead, they are required first to send over a boarding party to inquire of the pirates whether they are, in fact, pirates."
The ambiguities in LOST could lead to international institutions second-guessing the U.S. In this case, the question is whether or when lethal force is appropriate when responding to acts of piracy.
The convention would also require the U.S. to change other military practices. For example, we'd be limited in our ability to collect intelligence at sea. So much for the moment-to-moment updates the SEAL team relied on.
We'd also lose our Navy's freedom of movement. Article 20 of LOST would require American submarines, for example, to travel on the surface and show their flags while sailing within another country's waters. So pirates could confidently evade our Navy by simply ducking into any country's territorial waters.
There's no downside to telling the treaty's proponents to, well, get lost. Without it, American ships will still enjoy freedom of movement and our Navy has the freedom to act to protect them -- and any other vessels legally plying the seas.
The world needs an empowered American military, not a U.N. bureaucracy, to protect commerce at sea.

The Fast & The Furious for the PSP Ships
April 24, 2007
NAMCO BANDAI Games The Fast & The Furious for the PSP Ships
Feel unprecedented speed as NAMCO BANDAI Games brings The Fast & the Furious franchise to the palm of your hands with exclusive new features and thrilling drift racing
NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today The Fast & the Furious, inspired by Universal Pictures feature film, The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift, has shipped for the PSP. Following in the footsteps of the highly popular, PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system version, The Fast & the Furious for the PSP system will captivate gamers with enhanced upgrades and new features. Players now have the chance to show off their creative side by using the PSP system wireless connectivity option to trick out a ride and send it to other players via "Swap Meet" to use in non-career game mode.
The Fast & the Furious on the PlayStation 2 system made its mark in 2006 as the first title to create an authentic, drift model system that is fun and approachable for players of all skill levels. The video game utilizes Universal's extensive sound library, an incredible context based camera, cinematic camera angles straight from the movie, unique boss challenges, stunning graphics, and endless customizable options. Now The Fast & the Furious for the PSP system brings gamers all of the same excitement as the PlayStation 2 system with added enhancements to maximize options and sharpen skills.
"Fans of The Fast & the Furious franchise will be engaged in non-stop drift racing action from start to finish as the location of game play has no limitations with the portable system," Makoto Iwai, Executive Vice President and COO of NAMCO BANDAI Games, said. "With the same amazing graphics of the PlayStation 2 system version coupled with the added bonuses and features, The Fast & the Furious for the PSP system is the must have portable racing game for 2007."
Exclusive PSP System Features:
- Swap Meet - Gamers have the chance to show off their creative side by using the PSP system's wireless connectivity option to trick out a ride and send it to other players via "Swap Meet" to use in non-career game mode.
- Road Sweeper - Putting drift racing skills to the test, up to four players can be challenged in this feature where the aim is to tag as many highlighted corners as possible using drifting maneuvers. The more complex and varied the techniques are, the more points added to the overall score. The player with the most tags (or drift points if there is a tie) wins at the end of the race.
- Oil Change - No car runs well without oil, so to increase performance, The Tuner Shops will offer a multi-grade oil change as a purchasable item. By purchasing the oil, the player's speed and performance will be temporarily enhanced upon returning to the HUB.
- Extras - Fast & Furious fanatics will get a special treat in the "Extras" section that will feature an unlocked selection containing images of both the movie and real world cars.
For more information on The Fast & the Furious, visit www.namcobandaigames.com.
The Fast & the Furious is rated T for "Teen" by the ESRB and has a suggested retail price of $29.99.

Old Wykehamists honoured at Winchester College
Winchester College honoured 28 Old Wykehamists who have seen active service in Iraq and Afghanistan by receiving them "Ad Portas" at the College on Wednesday. Three of the 28 were unable to be present as they are still deployed in these countries.
The Honorands, accompanied by the Warden of Winchester College, Sir Andrew Large, the headmaster, Dr Ralph Townsend, and Fellows of the College, entered War Cloister just before midday where pupils and dons were waiting to welcome them. All ranks from Lieutenant-General to Lieutenant were represented, together with two Lieutenant-Commanders, Royal Navy, who fly helicopters.
The Honorands were met by the Aulae Prae (Prefect of Hall), 18-year-old Felix Legge, who delivered a speech of welcome in Latin and English to which Lieutenant-General Robin Brims…

From the "Only at Tri-City Healthcare Department": Former Tri-City Healthcare board member George Coulter filed a lawsuit last week against the man who defeated him, Wayne Lingenfelter, alleging Lingenfelter violated election laws by misstating his residency status on his candidacy papers.
The explanation given by Mr. Lingenfelter indicates he was given the go-ahead by the county registrar of voters. Simply stated, his address is for a property he owns that is under a lease agreement to someone else until the end of this month.
Although the news accounts I have seen don't address it, Lingenfelter appears to live in the district anyway right now, just not at that address, at least not until Feb. 1 — and the Registrar said that's OK.
The irony is, the kerfuffle over this supposed impropriety is being raised by a guy who was a Ph.D. before he wasn't. Coulter was exposed during the interminable witch-hunt hearings that went on when the district was going after former board member Kathleen Sterling.
During questioning regarding his credentials he was unable to produce any evidence of his degree, transcripts, or even the existence of the school that he supposedly obtained it from.
Does anyone at Tri-City have any shame whatsoever?
… Escondido's vision continues to collide with reality. Despite numerous attempts to kick the Grand Avenue business corridor into high gear, the business district continues to live down to its potential.
When ill-informed Christmas shoppers made their way through the area on any given Sunday only to find two-thirds of the shops closed for business, you can bet they struck the area off their list for future shopping trips.
Such is the malaise of a downtown where too many building owners are content with low-rent tenants because they fear costly improvements will raise their taxes.
… I'm hoping someone can answer this question for me, because I have to admit it has me stumped. If the NRA truly believes that guns don't kill people, but that people kill people, why in the name of all that is good are they opposed to the idea of universal background checks, including at gun shows? What possible harm can there be in making the process of obtaining a lethal weapon a little bit more stringent?
And while we're at it, can someone explain to me the advantage a recreational user gains from having a 50- or 100-round clip rather than one limited to 5 or 10? If you are hunting and need that many rounds to bring down your prey, you aren't a very good shot. In fact, you're probably a menace to those around you.
I think it's time the NRA admits it represents gun makers, not gun owners.

Police fanned out across a Long Beach neighborhood Tuesday hoping to find new clues into the cold-case killing of a 76-year-old woman.
Long Beach homicide detectives and Search and Rescue members planned to canvas the crime scene in the 1400 block of Peterson Avenue. That's where Leam Sovanasy was found dead in her home, stabbed multiple times in the upper torso, on January 31, 2009.
Investigators said they recently received new information on a car seen in the area on or around the day of the killing -- the most significant lead to date. It was described as a four door, white Chevrolet Caprice that may be from the early 1990s, similar to the one pictured below.
A motive for Sovanasy's killing remains unknown, police said.
Sovanasy, a Cambodian immigrant who survived the Khmer Rouge regime, was a mother of seven and a grandmother of 20, police said.
Detectives are asking anyone with information to contact them at (562) 570-7244.

Detailed Description:
The DINAMIC (DINitroazetidines As Medications In Cancer) trial represents a provascular approach to temporarily change tumor blood flow and oxygenation. Blood supply to most tumors is poor, causing parts of tumors to have a low oxygen content which promotes aggressiveness and metastasis. The DINAMIC trial uses specific imaging techniques (including ultrasound), biopsy, and breath analysis to provide an early assessment of therapeutic activity.

January 9, 2012 (Rockville, MD) ZeniMax® Media Inc. today announced that a settlement had been reached in the lawsuit filed by its subsidiary, Bethesda Softworks®, against Interplay Entertainment Corporation in 2009, Bethesda Softworks LLC v Interplay Entertainment Corp., seeking cancellation of the license granted to Interplay to develop a massively multiplayer online game (MMO) based on the Fallout brand. Bethesda maintained in its complaint that Interplay had failed to meet the conditions for the license and the license was therefore of no continuing validity.
Under the terms of the settlement, the license granted to Interplay to develop the Fallout MMO is null and void, and all rights granted to Interplay to develop a Fallout MMO revert back to Bethesda, effective immediately. Interplay has no ongoing right to use the Fallout brand or any Fallout intellectual property for any game development. ZeniMax will pay Interplay $2 million as consideration in the settlement, each party will bear its own costs of the litigation, and Bethesda will continue to own all Fallout intellectual property rights. Interplay will be permitted to continue to sell the original Fallout ®Tactics, Fallout® and Fallout® 2 PC games through December 2013, after which time all rights to market those games revert to and become the sole property of Bethesda. Under the original agreement pursuant to which Bethesda had acquired the Fallout property, Interplay was granted certain merchandising rights to sell those original Fallout games, but those merchandising rights will now expire on December 31, 2013.

A CHEERING crowd greeted a tradesman who walked 220 miles to raise cash for the charity that he credits with saving his life.
Mark Harmer set off from Christians Against Poverty (CAP), based at Bracknell's Kerith Community Church centre, on Thursday, May 3, and reached the agency's headquarters, in Bradford, West Yorkshire, on Tuesday, May 22.
The 45-year-old had walked through nearly three weeks of rain and floods, but the sun shone on the last day as he ran through a guard of clapping supporters, many of whom had helped him with the debt counselling he needed after he hit rock bottom.
CAP founder and international director John Kirkby showered him with champagne and congratulated his incredible effort - which has raised nearly �1,500 for the charity.
Mr Harmer, a roofer from Harmans Water, said: "I can honestly say I have enjoyed every step - even the bits where I was waist high in water. The people from CAP who have fed and watered me and let me stay with them in their homes along the way have been the most wonderful people and it is something I'll never forget." Mr Harmer turned to CAP, in Bracknell, after being hit hard by the recession and facing unemployment after the failure of his business.
He started suffering from depression and even considered suicide as his debts stacked up. But Mr Harmer is soon to be debt free, thanks to CAP's support and advice on debt management.
He said: "Working with CAP and its Bracknell centre over the last couple of years, I am now almost debt free and am enjoying a whole new outlook on life. I called my walk The Hope Challenge because, while I might not have found faith, I have found hope." To sponsor Mr Harmer visit www.justgiving.com/thehopechallenge Anyone needing debt advice should see www.capdebthelp.org or call 0800 328 0006.

I have Endo and I am on provera.Last month I was hospitalised due to severe pain and very bad smelly discharge.The Gynae said it was an infection in my womb and I was on 2 lots of antibiotics for 2 weeks.This cleared up the discharge and the smell went away.
Since last week I have started to suffer with lower back pain and my stomach is all swollen,I also have pain in my right side and my vagina is very sore,this I seem to be able to control taking my prescribed pain killers.
The real problem is the discharge and the smell from it,its really bad.For example today I had a shower at 9am by 12 I had to change my underwear as it was destroyed and the smell was sickening,at 4pm I has to do the same thing.I work 10-5 so this is very embarrassing because I know it smells really bad.Even the Gynae said it was a very strong smell when i was in hospital.
I have a shower in the morn,after work and before I go to bed and the next morn I am destroyed and the smell is really bad,even my mam has said it to me!!!!!!
I use a special feminine soap but this doesnt seem to work.I am back with my gynae next month but this is really getting out of hand.
Any help would be appreciated.

aw hun, same thing happened to me with anything nr my floot, dont worry, think many of us get it, there are a few good remedies i frequently use if i accidently come into contact, ky jelly is a nono too, just water thats it, u will get used to it, i use activ balance, or biofem active gel, they are a bit pricey and dont last long but totally worth it. i use them like 2/3 times a day until the smell goes then i use just them now and again to keep a good flora balance. the gynae were no help to me with regards to this, so did research myself and found many women with endometriosis have chemical sensitivety, so ur not alone. i hope this helps for you.

sometimes theres a breakthru bleed or spotting, ru due another shot? when the bleed subsides use one of them things i mentioned, for some reason the discharge gets worse with bleeds, sometimes a bleed triggers the discharge cos it unbalances the levels, i hope u feel better soon, take care

Hello There,
I have the same bad horrifying oder you are describing and pain and soreness. I am currently in the process of getting diagnosed. They think its a. endometriosis b. PID or c. some kind of std. I find it helpful to bath in water that has apple cider vinegar that I add to it. It keeps the smell away for atleast 8 hours.

Sorry but my comment had posted without me even hitting the post button but what I was going to continue saying is that now that I've been with my fiance for the last three years it's now that we've been talking about why I haven't gotten pregnant yet cause he says he's never had had problems, yet he had no kids either. We both don't have kids and now that are 36 almost at 37 its getting harder and harder when we have that discussion. I definitely have go to a Dr and then go from there. But I have 2 questions, first one is, ids that when I was 19 I got pregnant anmy mom forced me too have an abortion and I was already 17 weeks so was hard and haven't been able hey pregnant since. Now since I've been pregnant and have had an abortion will it make it even harder for me too get pregnant?And second question is that when I do found out I have it how hard will it be for me to get pregnant? Thank you so much for your help.......

Currently the redelivery is bound to the consumer instance requiring the end user to use the same message consumer instance. This is due to the fact that the redelivery delay is computated based on the previous redelivery delay (stored with the consumer instance) and not based on the redeliveryCount of the message.

AMQ-3894 Add support for Broker based redelivery
- Resolved
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
Broker redelivery is implemented on trunk via https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3894
Working as designed. Consumer redelivery happens on the client side until the consumer is closed without acking the messages, or committing the TX. Once a consumer is closed the messages are redelivered to another consumer.
I now worked through AM-1853 and see that this one was actually about making the consumer behavior during redeliveries configurable (blocking versus non-blocking) which is indeed an expected configuration option. But this will be available only once 5.6 is released.
Personally in addition to this configuration option I had expected another configuration option for the end user to decide at which place the redelivery process is initiated/controlled (broker versus consumer) as the use cases may predetermine the more suitable approach. Using Camel as described in
AMQ-2710 can be either seen as a workaround for the solution implemented in AMQ-1853 or as a workaround for a missing "native" support for broker-based redelivery/redispatch.
Last but no least I also have to agree that the theoretical workaround I described under my initial option b) to somehow circumvent the missing broker-side delay in letting the consumer perform the delay would be indeed an odd counter-intuitive mixture of broker and consumer controlled redelivery and only a result of neither getting the one nor the other approach to work.
Timothy, you are absolutely right that we did not associate the term redelivery with the meaning consumer internal reprocessing (using a consumer-side queue) and redispatch with broker to consumer and thus may have used them interchangeable potentially leading to confusion.
Stepping back explaining the use case and problem to solve might indeed be the best proposal I'd like to follow hereby.
1) Use Case/Problem Context:
In our use case the consumer has the responsibility to send the message polled from the broker's queue to http web service endpoints and ensure the message has reached the endpoint it was meant for. This receiving endpoint may not always be available. So a configurable number of retries with a configurable non-constant, increasing delay shall take place before considering the message as non-deliverable at some point (DLQ use). Within this time even the rules determining the actual service endpoint may change.
I think at this point I need to add that this whole process is taking place as mediation logic inside an ESB product integrating any JMS message broker via Spring. Sending to the endpoint is done using non-blocking http transports.
The setup must be highly available and process high message volumes. Messages must never get lost. The ESB nodes are the only consumers on those JMS queues, so it is a rather very small number of consumers.
So consequently there are multiple ESB nodes and multiple brokers in master slave setup. Ideally the delays between send attempts to the service endpoints should follow the calculation independent of an ESB node (JMS consumer) unavailability (due to maintenance, crash or whatever reason) or broker unavailability (master slave failover should take place transparently).
So from a business perspective we only care for the full transfer between JMS broker and service endpoint and consider this as the delivery process in this context. The same applies for redelivery attempts.
2) Current solution approach:
- The ESB basically uses Spring's DefaultMessageListenerContainer (DMLC) in conjunction with Spring's PlatformTransactionManager (PTM).
-The message received from the queue arrives at the incoming message sequence of the mediation logic starting a transaction. If there are no "routing rules" an immediate rollback will be performed to trigger a scheduled redelivery. Whether this is done from the same consumer (ESB node) or any should not play a role. In case routing rules are available the transaction will be suspended and the message will be send to the service endpoint. ESB-internally this is an asynchronous, non-blocking operation. At some point either an error occurs or a response message arrives which will be inspected in the out message sequence in order to resume the transaction and either perform a commit (on success) or a rollback (on failure) to schedule a resend (intentionally trying to avoid the terms redelivery or redispatch here).
3) Issues with current solution approach:
If we got it right AMQ redelivery feature is consumer-based requiring a transacted session AND the same consumer instance to be used for redeliveries. In terms of concrete DMLC configuration this requires cache level CACHE_CONSUMER as well as sessionTransacted set to true.
This seems to make it impossible to have control over the transaction and use the PTM to suspend, resume, commit or rollback a message.
Using only CACHE_CONSUMER with PTM does not work (session not transacted, no reaction on rollback). Using any other cache level, the transaction handling is working fine, the messages are also scheduled for redelivery, but the message to be redelivered is redispatched from the broker (likely a result of a consumer close in DMLC) resulting in another undelayed delivery attempt.
So infact we do not get our desired transactional behavior plus redelivery to work. In addition, even if we could get this to work properly I assume a consumer crash or shutdown while a redelivery process is going on (which could be configured to take place over multiple days with maximum delays of an hour) would result in an automatic rollback and a message redispatch to another consumer starting from scratch with an immediate (undelayed) delivery irrespective of the redelivery counter on the message and the delay which shall take place here.
If understanding
AMQ-2710 correctly and another non-configurable behavior of consumer based-redelivery with strict JMS semantics is always a blocking of consumption of further messages in case of a running redelivery process (to guarantee the order). This would be another reason why we could not use this approach unless we would use a separate queue for each individual logical routing target as any problem sending to one service endpoint must not block message sending to other endpoints.
So indeed it looks like
AMQ-2710 could be an alternative as this seems to be a realization of broker -based delayed redelivery. I know, for the sake of clarity one should rather call a solution with broker -based delayed redispatch loosing order guarantee.
I will further investigate this suggestion (also checking the linked old JIRA issue
AMQ-1853), but still I don't get why this simple use case seems to be so hard to realize and why I have to integrate an EIP framework like Camel for this to work around.
If there is some way to get DMLC with CACHE_CONSUMER, local transactions via PTM and redelivery to work properly, which we tried hard but failed, this would of course also still be interesting.
Timothy, in any case many thanks for this feedback! It was the first one moving us slightly forward in terms of understanding of the AMQ implementation.
I think there's a bit of misunderstanding regards redelivery vs redispatch of a message. From the client side when a transaction is rolled back the messages are redelivered from the consumers own internal storage and the broker is only notified after one retry is attempted and fails that redelivery has occurred. The client continues to retry delivery each time the transaction is rolled back until some configured limit is reached (if one is desired) and then poisons the message which causes it to be sent to the DLQ.
If the consumer were to be closed for some reason before the transaction was committed then the broker would need to redispatch the message to another consumer. To this new consumer its the first time that its ever seen this message regardless of whether it a new message or one that's been redelivered so the need for a delay in this case seems odd to me but perhaps I don't fully understand your use case or the problem you are trying to solve.
Perhaps you might find the solution defined in
AMQ-2710 to be of use in your scenario. Here the messages that are poisoned because they were deemed undeliverable are moved from the DLQ and rescheduled for send after a delay using the brokers own scheduled message feature.
If this isn't want you are going for then perhaps you can take a step back and better define what the use case is and what problem you are trying to solve. The current implementation of the consumer doesn't have an easy way to delay a message on dispatch only on rollback so if you want to add something like that you'd need to do some work.
Implementing this part alone is really trivial and was very quickly done, but the problem is, that this is not the only limitation why the same consumer instance must be used. So this alone would be of no value.
Currently the ActiveMQMessageConcumser is scheduling a task to perform the relivery. If there are multiple consumers, another consumer will simply grab the same message arriving again from the broker and do a normal delivery (so without any delay and completely asynchrounous to the scheduled thread still waiting). At some point I have not yet clearly identified the broker must get an ACK or something like this. Maybe as a result of a consumer or session close.
So far I have just experimented with the code to get a better understanding on how this was ever intended to work correctly (especially if using a transaction manager to mange the transactions explicitely and not letting AMQ automatically perform the commit or rollback based on exceptions with a transacted session).
According to the design document at http://activemq.apache.org/message-redelivery-and-dlq-handling.html
" [...] On rollback, since nothing has been acked yet, and all messages are still available in an internal consumer queue, the messages are re-dispatched from the internal consumer queue. This reduces redelivery dispatch overhead, at the cost of the broker not being aware that redeliveries are occurring. [...]"
since ActiveMQ 4 the broker shall not be aware of redeliveries at all and only the consumer should perform the redelivery from a local queue to possibly relieve the broker from some work improving scalability. Unfortunately if I got it right the end user cannot choose between either client or broker controlled redelivery (or 4.x versus 3.x behavior).
In order to make this work I would only see the two theoretical options (not sure whether any of those are correct and feasible):
a) The broker will not be informed about the redeliveries as a result of a rollback at all (only indirectly, if optionally persisting modified messages (redeliverey counter). As long as a consumer is not acknowledging the broker will not deliver the same message to another consumer. But I think incase of a transacted session, such an acknowledgement must be sent, or?
b) The broker will be informed about rollbacks in order to trigger a resend of the same message. Any consumer receiving a message will first check the current redelivery count and postpone the actual delivery of this message for a calculated duration if required. If the redelivery count is 0, it will of course be processed immediately.
As I could not quickly detect the place where the broker gets signaled that it shall resend the message for which a rollback was done, I simply "hacked a bit of code" for the purpose of testing and understanding, which performs the conditional wait based on the modified RedeliveryPolicy calculating the delay based on the counter right inside the ActiveMQSessionExecutor#execute prior dispatching the message. So any message arriving at this point will be hold of from dispatching to the local queue until the calculated delay according to the redelivery attempt has passed. Of course in parallel I commented the scheduled redelivery task for asynchronous execution. So this is something a long the line of option b) mentioned above.
And this is the first time I could see a working redelivery with multiple consumer threads using the PooledConnectionFactory, an external TransactionManager, and neither cache level, sessionAcknowledgeMode nor sessionTransacted configured on Spring's DefaultMessageListenerContainer:

It is probably needless to say, that this approach is neither clean nor likely to work with CACHE_CONSUMER as I don't think the broker will be "triggered" in this case to do a resend.
I did not test this though, as I could not get cache level CACHE_CONSUMER in conjunction with an external transaction manager (which I can't avoid for my use case) to work, as the session needs to be transacted and is only transacted if either having XA Transactions (but I use a LocalTransaction) OR the acknowledgeMode is SESSION_TRANSACTED (which does not seem to be achievable in conjunction with CACHE_CONSUMER, unless setting sessionTransacted to true (which again does not work in conjunction with an external transaction manager).
It would be great if someone with more knowledge about JMS could describe the correct behavior if one wants to achieve a correctly working transaction handling using an external transaction manager with a local transaction where redelivery works as descired and best possilbe performance is reached.
Once I know the desired flow, I can check with the code what it currently does to then find out what to potentially adjust. At the moment I'm really struggling through a quite feature rich and rather complex implementation.
Although we would be happy to contribute improvements, it is very hard without at least some pointers from other more experienced devs from the AMQ team.
Many thanks for anyone helping on this!
If we do not find a way to move forward, will very likely have to try out the same scenario with another JMS broker like JBoss HornetQ and have a look at their implementation. Although I think at the moment they only support a constant redelivery-delay, which is not very suiteable either and would need to be improved for most real world use cases. But such a change is very small compared to completely modifying the general handling of redeliveries.
We do something like this in the .NET ActiveMQ client where we calculate the redelivery delay based on the number of redeliveries of the message and no to the consumers record of the last delay.

"My name is Amelia Gray. I am the Graveyard Queen, a cemetery restorer who sees ghosts. My father passed down four rules to keep me safe, and I've broken every last one. A door has opened and evil wants me back.
"In order to protect myself, I've vowed to return to those rules. But the ghost of a murdered cop needs my help to find his killer. The clues lead me to the dark side of Charleston—where witchcraft, root doctors and black magic still flourish—and back to John Devlin, a haunted police detective I should only love from afar.
"Now I'm faced with a terrible choice: follow the rules or follow my heart."
©2012 Amanda Stevens (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
The narrator carried me through, but the last in this series seems rushed and disjointed. What about Asherfalls? She threw away characters to easily.
Amelia didnt seem herself in this book and not because she was haunted. She became too insecure and repeated things too much.
I sped through this one.
"Creepy but good."
Parts of this are down right creepy but it's a good book. Parts of the ending were pretty clearly coming but parts surprised me and that is good. She cleaned up the end but still left lingering questions that would lead you to another book if she'd just write it and I would read it.
Never a quibble with Khristine Hvam's. She always does a great job.
"Sorry... I was bored and my mind started wandering"
Amelia is nearly out of her depths in the latest Graveyard Queen story. She's back home in her usual haunts with Devlin's ghosts causing havoc. I find I just don't care much what happens to her and it's kinda same sh.. different book deal until the end of the book when there is a shift in her and Devlin's relationship (hallelujah about time) but it was all too little too late.
Worth my credit? No sorry, it's just not my type of book I'm afraid.
"Great story"
One of the best audiobooks I have listened to. I ready like this series and liked it so much I thought I would listen to the audiobooks.
The end, left me wanting more.
Amelia Grey
I enjoyed the story as it pertains to Shani, Devlin's dead daughter.
"Creepy in a good way."
I really enjoyed this story and I think Khristine Hvam is a great narrator. I cant wait for the next book in the series.
"A worthy sequel in a great series with the best narrator"
I was surprised at the lukewarm reviews for this third book in her series. I really enjoyed it. I loved it, actually. I thought the supernatural elements were riveting. Better than Book II. For those who say Amelia acts out of character, I do not agree. I think she is evolving in the series as her experiences become more intense. I will say she is a bit more prone to swooning over the man in this one, which is the only thing I didn't love. But otherwise, I would and will recommend it
This narrator is my favorite of all audible books I have experienced. Her character nuances are perfect!
"Not my Favourite."
I usually enjoy this series but this one was a struggle to get through. My mind kept wandering. Can't put my finger on why. Just didn't hold my interest as the others in this series.
"Awesome series"
So far this series has kept me enthralled. I have read them all with the exception of the newest book that will not be out until March 2017
I liked the overall story, the setting is fantastic with it's gothic feel, you really get into the atmosphere. I have to say that Amelia, while mostly a pleasant and likable character, comes across as stupid. She asks obvious questions and just seems to be almost idiotic in her lack of understanding of situations.
I would say it's good for entertainment, but not really a must read.
Genuine, charming, adept
Yeah it was a decent entertainment session
