I'm at O'Callaghan's in Dublin, with a cup of tea. I'm hydrating first. Guinness later.
Lofty says
Good to hear. Don't get too soggy!
marko says
A cup of tea fits nicely into the stereotype too.
mudpuddles says
Feck the Guinness PZ, go for an Ardbeg on ice.
Looking forward to hearing you at the conference and hopefully meeting a few FtB folks.
bbgunn says
I prefer hydrating with a dram of Connemara peated Irish whiskey poured neatly into a Glencairn* whisky glass holding by a tablespoon of water, then repeating as necessary.
*A short-stemmed bardolino wine glass will work in a pinch.
latsot says
I'm here too! Tea sounds good.
rorschach says
Tea! Way to start the weekend with blasphemy, that! I'm resting, will be down in a bit.
Steve LaBonne says
Feck the Guinness PZ, go for an Ardbeg on ice.
Ice? ICE???!!??!??
mudpuddles says
Hi Steve,
Yeah, I know but its pretty strong and a bit of ice tempers it and helps bring out the peat.
(And its Scottish, not Irish… I'll be shot by my own countrymen I fear!)
Doc Bill says
I recommend the Pig's Ear restaurant. Tell them Doc Bill sent you and they will look at you and say, "Who?" I guarantee it.
rorschach says
Btw, does the conference have a hashtag?
Steve LaBonne says
Ardbeg is cask-strength and does benefit from just a drop of water. But I can't go along with ice in any really fine whisk(e)y. The low temperature numbs the taste buds so you might just as well buy something cheaper. Having said that, de gustibus…
gussnarp says
But Guinness IS hydrating! Didn't you ever hear that Guinness Is Good For You? Or that they give it to new mothers, or any of that?
jt512 says
Hydration is so overrated.
madtom1999 says
Ardbeg? Ice? Never!
Most whiskys contain a lot of volatiles. Adding ice would be llke smelling a rose in a plastic bag.
Rev. BigDumbChimp says
Feck the Guinness PZ, go for an Ardbeg on ice
Go sit in the corner and think about what you have done.
poxyhowzes says
Just don't forget, PZ, to continue your "Sunday Morning in Church" investigations. A "foreign" country will give you miles of perspective, and hoardlings could accompany you for the wine and crackers. (Can one bring one's own cheese in Ireland?)
mudpuddles says
@ Rev. BigDumbChimp
ok. :( I will be easily found that way I guess.
@ Steve LaBonne
de gustibus…
Indeed, and thank you!
Agreed. My preference is for neat Redbreast, probably one of Ireland's finest drinks. But you can't beat the incredible earthy, prehistoric intensity of Ardbeg, and the ice makes you think of the icy chill of those cold Hebridean latitudes. You can smell and taste the ancient bogwood….
nogodsnomasters says
I'm over in the Mont Clare! I can't wait for tomorrow!
mudpuddles says
Lucky you, with Riverdance, the last night of the LGBTQ festival, and Brian May and Rod Stewart playing gigs in Dublin tomorrow night, I can't get a bed anywhere. So I'll be sleeping in the street outside the Alexander if anyone cares to join me for a whisky sing song.
Sili says
Popped by as soon as I could, but there was only one man in the bar, and I didn't recognise anyone in the pub. At least I know where it is now.
To bed!

Hi Guys, Im looking for some help for some Real-Time Wind info.
In Canada we have a free site that updates current conditions every 2 minutes:
This is an example of the Toronto Island Airport next to a couple of our kite spots.
I'm wondering if there are other sites like this for places around the world: US, Europe, Asia ETC. Im working on something for our local kiters but if I had links to other Real Times sites I could possibly expand it to a global project.
Any help with links is greatly appreciated!

WTF Korea: Massive Pigs Burried Alive In Korea! (Horrible)
""We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form." ~William Ralph Inge Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth (CARE) released the video of pigs being dumped into a hole alive, calling for an immediate halt to the live burial.

We still eat the deer heart. Soak it over night in salt water, slice it thin, flour it and fry it up in an iron pan with onions.... It's really good and not strong tasting at all. Soaking it in the salt water takes the gamey taste away and tenderizes it.

How does the kid look? It's the first question out of any emergency physician's mouth when inquiring about a child. In my world, asking whether a child looks good is intended to learn whether the child is sick or gravely injured.
How does the kid look?
It�s the first question out of any emergency physician�s mouth when inquiring about a child. In my world, asking whether a child looks good is intended to learn whether the child is sick or gravely injured.
This is a description that takes into account an array of assessments, including whether the airway is open and the nervous system is functioning. When I hear that a baby looks great and is cooing, smiling and playing with Mom, I can let out a sigh of relief and breathe again.
But when my senior resident recently told me that a baby, Sarah, did not look well, we went into full alert. Sarah was almost 1 year old and had been found in her portable crib drooling and listless. Mom immediately knew something was wrong.When Sarah was brought into the major resuscitation room, she was limp and dusky blue and had a weak cough. We all could hear a high-pitched squeak when she breathed, more so when she inhaled than exhaled. One of the residents began to ask mom all the salient historical questions. How old is Sarah ? How much does she weigh? Did this happen suddenly, or had she been sick? When did she first notice the baby wasn�t well? Was she born full-term? Any complications with the delivery? Are there siblings at home? Is she up-to-date on her immunizations?
I could appreciate the train of thought � we need metrics on weight and age for drug dosing.Could this be an infection? Gradual onset, under-
immunized child, or sickly since birth? Or was there a mischievous 3-year-old sibling feeding our patient pennies, carrots or Legos at home?
The nurse started oxygen, which helped tremendously. Sarah began to cry, look around the room and pull at the face mask.The high-pitched squeak was still there, and we could tell there was something in her upper airway that was causing the squeak and the drooling. Was the cause of this constriction something that belonged there but had swollen? Or was it something that didn�t belong there, such as food, a toy or a battery?If it was swelling, stressing her more by starting an IV could make things worse. But doing nothing wasn�t an option.Then she coughed. A big squeaky, wheezy inhale and a forcible cough. We were hopeful that the Lego/carrot/penny would fly across the room. Nothing.Sarah�s next breath in was clear. She cried a few more times and reached for Mom�s arms. We realized we were out of the fire but also knew that whatever caused her gravely ill appearance was unlikely to have vanished.A chest X-ray confirmed the problem about five minutes later. One side of her lung had expanded and was filled to its fullest extent, and the �normal� side, by comparison, looked rather dense. The overinflated side was that way because air couldn�t escape. It was blocked by whatever had been sucked down from her upper airway into her bronchus. Still, the X-ray didn�t reveal anything so obvious as a penny or battery, but whatever it was had a ball-and-valve effect on the air in the lung.
Sarah was transferred to Nationwide Children�s Hospital, and a bronchoscope revealed the trouble � a small wooden bead.Fortunately, my little patient had self-treated, in a sense, turning a life-threatening upper-airway obstruction into something urgent but not deadly. With one good cough.

Southern Spaghetti with Seitan and Smokey Greens
paired with an Australian merlot
We've yet to see this side of James Ford, but I know it's there. There is one dish in this LOST character's romancing-and-swindling-the-ladies repertoire, and this is it.
Smokey greens for three reasons: the name, of course, the Southern tradition, and because Sawyer knows greens help you look that good.
There's really not much traditionally Southern about the spaghetti sauce itself – I simply discovered after a quick google search that a lot of 'Southern spaghetti' recipes called for ground beef or chicken and extra heat. Let's just pretend that Sawyer's parents used to eat this in Alabama, before you know who came along.
I browned diced, homemade seitan in a bit of olive oil, added minced garlic, crushed red pepper, dashes of sea salt and pepper, and tomato basil marinara I had made previously. I let it simmer for a bit, and served it over whole wheat spaghetti.
The greens were the 'greens mix' from Trader Joe's (collards, mustard greens, kale, etc.); sauteed with garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, crushed red pepper, agave, pepper and liquid smoke.
Also a wonderful accompaniment to a good book.
Last night's episode touched my heart, for the record! If you've seen my previous LOST related posts, you may know that I adore that you know who.

The Dedham Middle School library was crowded with more than 100 aides and their supporters, who sported neon green and pink stickers that read "fair contract now" at a recent School Committee meeting.
Some even held posters that read, "Fair contract for paraprofessionals."
The district�s 94 paraprofessionals have been working without a contract since Aug. 31.
Fed up after several bargaining sessions since last May, they took to the April 2 School Committee meeting to express their frustration and explain their efforts to educate Dedham�s youngsters.
"Our paraprofessionals do much of the work educating our students and helping some of the most challenging students remain in district, avoiding the cost of out-placement," said Tim Dwyer, president of Dedham Education Association. "Our paraprofessionals deserve to be treated with respect and that includes being able to make a living wage."
School Committee negotiators have proposed a raise of 6 percent over a three-year period, but Dwyer said that does little to help aides who earn at least $14.32 an hour.
"Six percent equals less than $1 an hour increase over the three-year period of a contract," he said. "In fact, among the 12 communities that Dedham compares itself to, we are near the bottom of this group of 12, where the average maximum rate for paraprofessionals is $19.26 for the 2012-2013 school year."
"Our maximum for the same year, for (paraprofessionals) with teacher certification is $16.52," Dwyer added.
Dedham School Committee Chairman Joe Heisler said that the board appreciates aides� work, but the committee is constantly under pressure to maintain a tight budget.
Town Administrator William Keegan has recently asked the School Committee to cut the proposed $36.8 million school budget for fiscal year 2015 by $200,000, Heisler said.
"Every single member of this committee appreciates the work that you do," Heisler said. "Many of you are our friends, our neighbors, and we see you everyday. We are not insensitive to what is taking place."
The proposed budget, which accounts for a reduction of eight aides, includes increases in special education transportation, regular transportation, supplies and materials, administrative services and maintenance and operation.
Mary MacLean, a teacher at Avery Elementary School, told School Committee members that the board should be investing in "people" rather than programs.
"If you�re going to invest in anything to make education important, it needs to be in people," MacLean said. "You can buy all the programs in the world, anyone can stand in front of a group of kids and pontificate, but teaching is an art. Getting kids excited about learning, getting kids who might not have a lot of support at home interested in coming to school, that takes people."
Heisler suggested that School Committee members and negotiators meet one more time with members of the Dedham Education Association to try to reach a consensus, and Dwyer agreed.
"Let�s chitchat and see if there is a common ground," Heisler said.

Evolution Studios has admitted that working on PS3 for so long meant that it wasn't exposed to the developments in graphics technology for PCs, meaning it had to play catch-up when moving onto PlayStation 4.
"With it being a very contemporary GPU core, [there's] a whole bunch of new graphics features probably familiar to PC developers, but we've spent a lot of time in PS3 land, so we had to play catch-up on some of those great things like texture varieties, hardware instancing, volume textures, tessellation, texture compression."
I'm pretty excited for Driveclub, especially if it supports the Logitech FF wheel.
It looks like a typical racing game... I was hoping for motor storm:PR like game since I personally found that to be the best motor storm.
DriveClub looks really great, I mean the whole detail in every aspect of the cars is mindblowing, gotta see how it plays though...
I never thought of that, after years of learning how to make the CELL work, they now need to ditch all that and start from scratch? can't be that way, right?
I get what you're saying. I feel they should have left the racing Sim to Gran Turismo 6, and focused on building a fun racer seeing how they've recently nabbed talent from every studio that designs "Fun Racers".
That being said I'm waiting to see more, and if social = fun.
It seems like a GT version of Forza Horizon which could be great.
The first person always view has my interest.
Interestingly, apparently they wanted to call this game Gran Turismo and be a spinoff title like Forza Horizon is to Forza Motorsport, but apparently Sony Japan said no (my source for this is the guy who leaked details about this game just before Sony announced it at the PS4 reveal).
Given the way the game looks though, I'm getting very strong Project Gotham Racing vibes from it, which is to be expected I guess since Evolution Studios picked up the lead designer for those games.
I'm expecting DriveClub to occupy the same space as PGR too, whereby it looks realistic but has an emphasis on more accessible and arcadey racing action. It will probably end up being a great IP, but it's unfortunate that they went with such a bland, unimaginative name for it.
It's my understanding that Driveclub is basically a grand touring game, where you have "clans" racing against each other. If that's typical, I've missed every racing game that has done that before. I don't know how the game will turn out, but the idea alone has me very excited.
DriveClub looks really good for that sort of game. It is just too bad that i'm not into that sort of game.
I've tried numerous times, even bought GT5.
Motorstorm is more my thing as it's not just about the race but survival.
@sikbeta- iTS NOT ALL FOR NOTHING sony was very smart and learned alot.If you go back to how the cell was designed and how it all played out once real-time development started on games ,you can see the path.The cell chip was really desighned to run on its own to pump raw calculations(physics,lighting, AI,ECT)however due the weak gpu (put in at the last minute)it ending up having to do its own CPU load and helping the GPU with its load.So if you look at it,it might have been two seperate unites but the only way to make ps3 shine was to in-effect program for it like an APU.If you think about it is really impressive that they actually made it work ,considering that it only had one ppu(albeit at the cost of massive amounts of R/D).Now with all that experience and mistakes learned you see why an APU chip is so attractive to Sony-BUT it gets BETTER,Sony has already said they are working on SPU EMULATION SOFTWARE for the gpgpu(called SPU RUN-TIME.So once that is finalized around 2nd gen games,ALL the knowleage learned from cell can now be put to good use on the PS4 gpgpu side and coupled with all that ram and atleast8x more hoarse-power this console is going to kick some seriouse [email protected]@!!
hope we get some gameplay at e3
im looking forward to this game as much as gtav last of us gt6 and watchdogs.
I believe it's the social integration and platform that will...no pun intended...drive the adoption/sales.
Seriously, I'm not a really a fan of the genre anymore. I used to love my dumbed-down arcade racers, like Ridge Racer, but something about this excites me. I think the idea that I can create what is, in essence, a car clan...one that can be integrated into every other device I own, is monumentally thrilling.
I can send out a club notice and race, pick the track, time and conditions, and monitor club participation and performance from my cellphone. When I get home, I can hop right into the event and add in my own time. It sounds exciting to me.
hold on but some of the ps3 fans told me ps3 > pc? wtf!!
Hopefully they can catch up to what this may do.
Can't wait to see bf5(or whatever it will be) on this type of hardware..
Also they better now talk some 30fps bull.
"hold on but some of the ps3 fans told me ps3 > pc? wtf!!"
Don't know who sad that, but of course the PS3 is not better than PC in terms of power. It might have been when it released due to the unique-ness of the CELL chip, but even then, it can't really be compared because it can't ever be a 1:1 comparison (also the RSX was out-of-date. But the PS3 can still be better than PC in terms of the many exclusive games.
"Hopefully they can catch up to what this may do.
http://computerstories.net/... "
Most likely will not be popularised very quickly, because it will be used in high end gfx cards, and developers tend to want to target games to a large audience, not a niche "super high-end" market. Also, I'm doubtful that it will even release next year.
See the thing that everyone hates about PC fanboys is that they seem to think $1000 PC is better than a $300 console. Of course it is better, but it also costs a LOT more, so of course it will be better. The second thing is that consoles are mostly static hardware, you can't swap out the processors or GPUs, but you can with PC, so the two can't really be compared. Yet PC fanboys continue to try and force comparisons
Not on a technical level, but because of its game library.
Not on a technical level, but because of its game library. "
Problem with that is that you can make a PC play like 90 percent of games ever made from Grim Fandango to Mario 64 to Metal Gear Solid to Half Life to Baldurs Gate.
Whereas PS3 can play maybe 1 percent. A decent PC can ironically play more PS2 games than most PS3 consoles out there AAAANDDD it can do it in HD resolutions which no PS3 can do. DOH!
You're talking about emulation, not officially. So please stfu. http://images.eurogamer.net... http://images.eurogamer.net...
Besides, PS3 games are unplayable on PC thus far ;)
[On Topic]
This has nothing to do with PS3 vs PC. It's a bout a developer having to catch up to PS4 hardware after having developed games only on PS3 and all the new stuff they'll be able to do now.
Oooh wow, emulating old ass games..psss... still waiting to see an "emulated" version of uncharted 2 and god of war 3;-)
Of course emulation. But what's your point? You have none.
They still play just fine on a modern PC, including the entire back catalogue of games designed for PC for decades.
PC has the greatest back catalogue in history. Chances are it can play your favourite game from the past 40 years.
It can't emulate PS3 yet but neither can PS4...a failing of consoles again with poor legacy support.
PS3 simply can't compete with PC when it comes to overall games library. It has fine games but don't pretend it can play some of my fave games on N64 or game cube when amazingly a PC can!
I can go from ocarina of time and Mario 64 in HD to the best versions of Bioshock Infinite and a highly modified Skyrim in mere seconds.
Again, old games. Mario 64 in HD... wow.
And PS3 doesn't have to compete with PC. PCs have never been a threat to consoles whether it's hardware or software.
Not sure why PC fans are so insecure and desperate to put down consoles and PS4 whenever possible. Like someone demanding respect because they think they're bigger and stronger but no one acknowledges it or gives a sh**, so they start acting out.
What does it matter if I just highlighted some old "classic" games? Old and new. Someone directly compared PS3's games catalogue with what games you can play on PC. Hence my replies.
That is an open invitation to point out that PC's back catalogue (and future) is superior to all comers.
If you had to choose one platform to play on for all the rest of your life and only one, PC is the shoe in no brainer. because of the huge quantity of games it'll play past, present, and future.
Just 2 years from now PS3 will be utterly and totally dead as a format and get virtually no worthwhile new games, but PC won't suffer that fate.
Just 2 years from now, most of PS3's top games will be 'old' games. Whats your point??? You still have none!
Those PS3 games you played the past 6 years and bought won't run on the new platform PS4 next year. The PC games you bought the past 20 years will run on a new PC you buy in 5 years time! You can basically guarantee that.
Lets not forget that most of PS3's games will also be dead forever, online, when their servers are shut down. PC won't have all its games still online, but many popular games run for ages or have private servers still in operation!
How old is Diablo 2, or CS: Source, or the original COD on PC? Ancient. You can still get games online.....You'll never be playing Uncharted 3 or GT5 online in 5 years, their servers will be long gone.
PC is unchallenged when it comes to game library.
If you have any useful argument here then lets hear it, but you aren't presenting anything....
Videogamer is a troll site like Kotaku
says the guy with one bubble?...
how is this trolling at all (feel free to PM me your response)??
all its saying is that the dev has found a lot of additional new tricks and methods of getting good graphics out of the PS4 that were simply not possible on the PS3...
this is a POSITIVE PS4 article...
Funny how ALL of a sudden you guys got Amnesia, every other article had 20+ fanboys screaming PS3 > PC just like today you got every fanboy screaming PS4>PC.
Hell that stupid Ps3 vs. PC "Grass thread" had fanboys screaming PS3 > PC even though the PS3 game was linear, minor on screen A.I., and mostly scripted while the PC Game that I picked was Open world, 100's of Players and complex A.I..
The Cell was a waste of time and x86-64 architecture proved to be the easiest to program for seeing how PC devs have been using it for years.
PS4 armed with a DX11 GPU will produce great looking games but hopefully with all that CPU power and Ram we can get more OPEN WORLD Games with more complex A.I..
the Linear scripted gaming has gotten dull.
It might get even WORSE on N4G.COM if the Xbox next reveal happens to see that system more powerful then the PS4. If that ever happens you will see SO MUCH BACKPEDALING ON THIS SITE how graphics no longer matter and its all about games ;-)
the cell brought a lot of interesting techniques that most developers would probably love (if they had access to it)..
the PS3's downfall was its relatively weak GPU and its memory...because the PS3 used dedicated pools it should have shipped with more memory than it did...
i don't think anyone is screaming PS4 > PC...but the PS4 will have certain advantages that PC's will not because of its closed hardware...it will never compete with $1000 GPU's...but build me a ~$500 PC and i'll bet the PS4 will beat it easily...
Met the gt680 is around $400. You only need that and the ps4 is beaten. Ram does not beat logic as in CPUs and gpu design just ask intel vs amd. Amd won the gpu battle and intel won the gpu battle.
The argument is pointless though and arguing here is even more pointless. Fans don't follow rational because they are fans. People serious about gaming and tech know the truth. I mean tech people pointed out the flaws in the cell and the use of a fixed shader gpu, etc.
I mean case in point with one gpu who's price will fall again by fall you can now run unreal engine 4 the way it was designed to be ran. Then you can wait on the ps4 to earn your money.
Just choose to let this site implode with Sony fans, even Xbox fans have left mostly lol.
We should indeed get more open worlds and better AI. PS4 is basically like a quad core CPU of a few years ago with a decent GPU. Optimized coding + HLSL should provide it with some great pushes in graphics to match most 2013 PCs with less than 2.5-3 Tflop GPUs, but in 2014 that's another story. GPUs on PC get faster every year. 4 Tflops was unreachable a couple of years ago and now there are 5-6 Tflop GPUs.
130W TDP is a red wall that neither Microsoft or Sony want to breach. So 680 might be out of question. Every generation its been 130W or less. X360 GPU breached that and well red ring came about.
NVIDIA 660 on the other hand has 1152 shaders just like PS4 GPU + 2.1 Tflops of power at 130W. AMD also has a mobile GPU at 2.1 Tflops with 1280 shaders at 75W. NVIDIA has similar Mobile offers between 1.9-2.2 with 100+ W TDP. Somewhere between 1.2-2.2 Tflops as a max I am guessing.
Although they say the new consoles are based on Sea Islands so we could see something more powerful. Although it would have to remain under 130W for the console competitors to keep the heat down. Either way I don't suspect either to go to far from one another with performance.
Fortunately for PlayStation fans, it's always been about the games from the beginning. Thanks for recognizing that fact ;)
@scissor_runner ,.. yes,.. but you can stuck your gpu in your ass and see how it beats ps4,.. I mean,.. it is not like you need a motherboard, sufficient ram, sofficient cpu ,.. to even utilize it,..to cooling, hdd,.. all the crap that you need for pc to even operate,.. all way too keyboard and mouse.,..Some people,..
You just gave me a ~$400 GPU...what good is that GPU without any other components!?
The PS4 is looking to cost in the ~$500 range...you need to find me a CPU, memory, HDD, mobo, power supply, cooling system, a case, bluray drive, a controller, and whatever else and keep all of that under ~$100!?...
This is where the pro-PC logic fails SO hard...
This is where your logic fails. Most people already have a PC so anyone can just stick a GPU in. You're one of those people who constantly go to the argument that a gaming PC was specifically built for gaming PCs.
I'm not saying that's advisable but it's certainly possible. And you could easily scrap your current work PC (which actually might have a pretty decent CPU) and use the current parts for a new one at possibly half the price.
You guys complaining about the gt680 do release it fits in current pci express motherboards right? You can take an old i7 or amd if that's all you got a throw a gt680 in that old pc and you just beat the ps4.
Just wondering why is that so hard to understand?
No I'm not talking about putting it in the next Xbox yet you guys also understand they do make a mobile gt680 that goes into laptops right?
Sorry I made the ps fans angry but I'm just pointing out facts disaggree all you want.
Sony will have to become a real console developer, they are almost there though. Power won't sell the next ps4 and price will provide the barrier yet pc gaming will get easy ports not. So if you don't own a pc then go get a ps4. If you do get a video card.
My logic doesn't fail at all...even if youre going to add the ~$400 card to an existing PC, you STILL have to factor in the cost of the existing hardware...because even of you used existing parts from 2010 or 2011 its still going to cost more than $100 to total the cost of the CPU, mobo, system memory, cooling, case, controller (or keyboard/mouse), bluray drive, power supply, etc...
Idc if you're using the existing hardware...its cost still has to be factored in...otherwise your comparison becomes instantly invalid
AS long as you can choose a 3rd person view I'm good
duh! most pc games were ported from 360/PS3 & not designed for the PC smaller market; they port port port.
Consoles gimp gaming innovation towards PCs.
Now it seems easier to do the opposite. I agree during the Ps3 and Xbox gen, the PC was being gimped but that can change... for now until the next-gens begin to fall behind like current gen.
consoles innovate and pc just releases the same old cheap flash games wow/ skyrim rpgs and fps. show me some pc stuff that didnt come from consoles first. pc's gimping pc because you all are getting different kind of pc parts. how about you all get the same pc parts morons?
pc actually lucky the console master race even lets them get console multiplat games on there. all japanese games come from consoles. pc only have a about 10-15 franchises that came from pc to console and the console has millions of franchises pc want to steal because pc devs and games suck. call me when pc gets anything on the level f what nintendo brings to the table as far as games let alone ms and sony. thats right pc is the stiff robotic like dancer kid in the clubs who sits in the corner because he cant dance or socialize. the consoles are the dudes dancing and getting the ladies.
GT is a big name with huge sale Numbers sony doesn't want to damage the Name brand
you know what's funny is people always say which IP is most important to sony and god of war,uncarted always gets thrown in but the most sold is GT and that's considering its an exclusive racing game
people said GT5 didn't sell well but it wold 8 million at launch, and as a huge GT fan i will say it wasn't the best yet still sold so well
can't wait for GT6 and drive club is a day one buy, this game will do quite well in europe
Idk but Driveclub looked super sweet!!!! taking over someones race or instantly joining in a friends race sealed the deal for me, not to mention the beautiful graphics!!!!
Driveclub didn't look that exciting to me. Maybe for those who really wants to ''feel'' the car.
Im not that big on racing car simulators but I thought driveclub looked pretty good better than what I seen out the GT series which just never seemed to appease to me.
I honestly prefer games like Split Second myself. Maybe if someone made a game improving on that, then it could be amazing.
We haven't seen much of it yet...
Yet people are already excited for it despite how little they've seen. Conversely, people can NOT be excited for it despite how little they've seen. Yin and Yang.
That's completely untrue. Especially if you enjoy the developer and genre, TEXT about the game can get you excited or un-excited. Example- Bethesda comes out and says "Fallout 4 will be a on rails Kinect game" people (myself included) would be un-excited for it instantly.
^^You just proved my point. Without seeing any gameplay at all, you deduced that because Fallout 4 was an on rails Kinect game that you wouldn't be interested in it. Similarly, Roccetarius immediately dismisses DriveClub because its not over the top enough. Whether you choose to see it or not, the same concept applies to both of you. Both of you can decide the value of a game to you with seeing little to no gameplay.
Driveclub was obviously not 'Micheal Bay-ish" enough for you.
I must've forgotten to put on my contacts today because the only person here I see talking about Michael Bay is you.
Every over the top racer is deemed Michael Bay-ish. This is an erroneous comparison since, well, these games are ACTUALLY good ;)
I was referencing "Split Second", his comment above. By the looks of your comment above you forgot more than your contacts today.....and who said the game isn't good for him or yourself. I just simply stated Driveclub wasn't Micheal Bay-ish enough for him.
they want to feel the vibration of the new controller whiles looking at the visual aspect of Driveclub...
Would be so much better if the game was Open world. Open world racing games is sooo much fun. Still looks great tho.
then guess what... Driveclub is open-world! And I don't know if you'll like this part but it can only be played in first person but at least you can get off of your car to look at it from outside.
I'm sure about that. I'm not sure if they've said anything on if it's open or not tbh. If you have a link feel free, cause that would be great.
Of course pc is the best. This isnt news.
I hope Drive Club is not only about graphics and pretty textures.
what you meant to say is you hope DriveClub is not the Crysis of driving games.
But when you think about, when's the last time you played a bad game with beautiful graphics?
wow the pc is the best you say pissed? Its actually Better than a 8 year old console!? Well i never. So glad Sony has made the ps4 now that will use high end pc graphic procedures for the fraction of the price of a a high end pc set up.
devs with more direct technological PC experience, Evolution is not the only PS3 dev that may be behin the curve technologically, when it comes to PC type hardware
Fraction of the price, yes.
Fraction of the performance as well.
I think what they actually said was that they were so used to the Cell architecture that it took them a while to get up to speed on the PC architecture. You know what it's like with headlines though.
what they said can't be more clear dude. There are newer techniques that can be used on newer GPUs that weren't possible on the outdated PS3 GPU (RSX). =/
Nope, just read it again. The headline reads 'PS4 dev had to 'play catch-up' to PC graphics', but what the dev is actually talking about is the fact that they were unfamiliar with some of the PC techniques. That's NOT catching up to PC graphics as the headline suggests, that's coming to grips with new tech (two completely different things).
What the headline deliberately suggests is that the PS4 struggles to match the PC in graphics. Think about. It's a crafty headline.
Of course there are new techniques, it's 6+ years old.
I'm delighted the love the PS4, but Drive Club will be a rent for me.
Poor Evolution Studios! They stuck with PS3. Welcome to next-gen.:D Hoping for some new Motorstorm game. Especialy like the first one.:D
2nd was the best. But i liked apocalypse as well. Racing int he hurricane for the 1st time was probably the most amazing thing i saw in a racing game ever(to be fair i dont own alot of racing games) especially when i was breaking in my (then) brand new 46 in HDTV.

Nadal aiming for a place in history
Rafael Nadal will play for history when he takes on Stanislas Wawrinka in the Australian Open final after once again getting the better of old foe Roger Federer.
The two greatest players of their era, and possibly ever, met for a 33rd time and for the 23rd time it was Nadal who triumphed.
It is a remarkably one-sided record for two men at the top of the game, and with Federer now 32, his chances of closing the gap appear to be reducing all the time.
He has not beaten Nadal at a grand slam since the 2007 Wimbledon final and was second best throughout in a 7-6 (7/4) 6-3 6-3 defeat on Rod Laver Arena.
Nadal has never lost a set to Wawrinka, who will overtake Federer to become Swiss number one on Monday, and should he continue that record he would become the first man in the Open era to win all the grand slams at least twice.
The 27-year-old would move to 14 overall, only three adrift of Federer and level with Pete Sampras, who will present the trophy on Sunday and was among the crowd to witness Nadal's masterclass.
"I played well," said the world number one. "I think I played probably my best match of the tournament. So I'm very, very happy for this great news. It's a very special moment to have the chance to be in another final."
The first set was tight but it was Nadal who had the break points, missing three before making his superiority count in the tie-break.
Nadal finally broke serve in the sixth game of the second set, and at no point did a Federer comeback look on the cards.
Nadal insisted his record against Federer was not a weapon, saying: "I went on court knowing that it's a really tough match and if I am not playing my best, I will not have the chance to win. So when I go on court, I go with doubts. But the doubts are good."
Doubts about the outcome centred on Federer's brilliant form in beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Andy Murray, while Nadal was struggling with a blister on the palm of his left hand.
The Spaniard took a medical time-out after the first game of the second set to have it retaped, but he said: "The blister is good. It looks better every day. The problem is to cover that blister in the position where it is."
Walking off court a loser against Nadal was a familiar feeling for Federer, who will drop to eighth in the rankings on Monday, and he was frustrated he was not able to trouble the Spaniard more on serve.
Federer's only break points came in the fourth game of the third set, and although he did take one, it was no more than a blip for Nadal.
He said: "I think Rafa played well. He's played me this way many times.
"It was just the lack of opportunities I created for myself which put the pressure on me too frequently, instead of maybe being able to do that the other way around.
"He did a good job. Overall he was more consistent. He deserved to win. He was better."
Missing out on an all-Swiss final against Wawrinka was another blow for Federer, but he will leave Australia at least knowing he is back in the grand slam mix.
Last season the chances of the 32-year-old winning another major title appeared to have gone, but with back problems seemingly behind him, a new racquet and a new part-time coach in his boyhood hero Stefan Edberg, Federer sees plenty of cause for optimism.
He said: "I wish I could have won here and given an all-Swiss final. That's something I'll regret for a long time.
"But I think this is a very good start to the season for me overall. I still feel my best tennis is only ahead of me right now."
Federer, meanwhile, was heard to complain to umpire Jake Garner about Nadal's grunting, although no action was taken.
The Swiss confirmed it was not the first time he had brought the matter up, while he also called for consistency in applying the time violation rules, with Nadal a persistent offender.
He said of the noise Nadal makes when he hits the ball: "It goes in phases. One point he does and then he doesn't. That's what I was complaining about. But it had no impact on the outcome of the match."
Nadal appeared surprised Federer had brought up the issue, and he said: "If I bothered him in any moment, he knows 100 per cent it was not because I wanted to. I never do anything on court (deliberately) to bother the opponent."

Eastern OrthodoxyHistorical Background of OrthodoxyEastern Orthodoxy consists of a family of churches, largely in countries to the east of Rome, that rejected the authority of the pope and separated from the Roman Catholic Church in a.d. 1054.
The most prominent Orthodox churches are the Greek Orthodox and the Russian Orthodox, but Orthodoxy also includes other groups such as Syrian Orthodox, Serbian Orthodox, and Coptic Orthodox.
The division in 1054 was prompted by objections to the pope's endorsement of the addition of the Latin clause filioque ("and the Son") to the Nicene Creed, so that it said that "the Holy Spirit … proceedeth from the Father and the Son" (a reference to the eternal relations between the Son and the Holy Spirit).
But issues of ecclesiastical authority were probably more significant than the specific doctrinal issue.
Orthodoxy comprises a range of autocephalous and autonomous churches, the Russian and Greek being the most prominent. (Autocephalous churches are federations of local churches over which no outside jurisdiction can claim authority. They are autonomous churches in that they have authority over their own internal matters, though they require the approval of another church for such things as the appointment of a chief hierarch, or church leader.)
During the first millennium the predominantly Latin-speaking West and the predominantly Greek-speaking East drifted apart linguistically, culturally, and theologically. Rome's claims to universal jurisdiction and its addition of the filioque clause led to severed relations. Following this, many countries in the East, overrun by the Muslims, had limited freedom, both politically and ecclesiastically. Constantinople, or Byzantium (modern Istanbul), the capital of the Christian East, was conquered in 1453. In the twentieth century, Orthodoxy in Russia and Eastern Europe lived under Communist rule, suffering intense persecution.
Orthodoxy's doctrinal basis is the teachings of the seven ecumenical councils (between a.d. 325 and 787), with reference especially to the Trinity and Christology. Evangelicals agree with most of these dogmatic decisions.
Orthodoxy is highly visual, with icons dominating its churches. Its ancient liturgy, rooted in the fourth century, is central to its theology and life.
Positive Elements of Orthodoxy That Evangelicals Can Learn FromThe TrinityThe Orthodox liturgy is full of Trinitarian prayers, hymns, and doxologies; the Trinity is a vital part of belief and worship, whereas in the West it often appears as little more than an arcane mathematical riddle. Paul describes our relationship with God in Trinitarian terms: "through [Christ] we … have access in one Spirit to the Father" (Eph. 2:18).Union with Christ and GodCrucial to Orthodox theology is "deification," in which humans (while remaining humans) are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, transformed by divine grace, and in this sense become "partakers of the divine nature" (2 Pet. 1:4). Though talk of deification sounds alarming to many evangelicals, the difference is largely one of emphasis. Orthodoxy has maintained a focus on the union of the three persons in God, the union of deity and humanity in Christ, the union of Christ and the church (central in the NT, e.g., John 14:18–24; 17:20–23; Eph. 1:3–14), and the union of the Holy Spirit and the saints. In contrast, the West has often emphasized the juridical aspects of doctrine, such as the doctrines of atonement and justification.
Freedom from Concerns Raised by the EnlightenmentDue to its historical avoidance of the Enlightenment in the eighteenth century (with its emphasis on the primacy of reason), Orthodox theology never became preoccupied with unbelieving critical challenges to and revisions of the faith, which in the West have often bred a detached, academic approach to theology divorced from the life of the church. This is evident in Orthodoxy's firm belief in heaven, hell, and the return of Christ—topics that many in the West (esp. among more liberal Protestant groups) have sidelined due to possible embarrassment. There is strong commonality here between evangelicals and the Orthodox.
Unity of Theology and PietyIn Orthodoxy, the knowledge of God is received and cultivated by prayer and meditation aided by the Holy Spirit, in battle against the forces of spiritual darkness. Therefore, asceticism and monasticism have had a contemplative character in Orthodoxy. By contrast, since the Enlightenment, Western theology has centered in academic institutions, many of them unconnected to the church. Orthodoxy has profoundly integrated liturgy, piety, and doctrine.
Agreements between Evangelicalism and OrthodoxyThe ecumenical councils' declarations on the Trinity and Christ show the extensive agreement between Orthodoxy and evangelicalism, despite their disagreement on the filioque clause in the Nicene Creed. Although they have different emphases, Orthodoxy and evangelicalism agree on the Bible's authority, on sin, and on the fall (however, the Orthodox do not accept the specific Augustinian doctrine of original sin). They also agree on Christ's death and resurrection (although the Orthodox regard the atonement more as conquest of death than payment for the penalty of sin), the Holy Spirit, the return of Christ, the final judgment, heaven, and hell.
Historically the justification controversy of the Reformation was not an issue in the Eastern church, but there is generally an underlying consensus between the East and several Reformation doctrines in the West. Eastern patristic writers occasionally spoke of salvation as a gift of God's grace, and of faith as a gift of God; the famous Jesus Prayer ("Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner") attests to Orthodoxy's rejection of good works contributing to justification. In a similar way, there are echoes in the West of something like the Orthodox doctrine of "deification"—which is no more incompatible with justification by faith than are the doctrines of sanctification and glorification.
Additionally, the Orthodox doctrine of the church resonates with many evangelical concerns. Orthodox opposition to Rome is underlined by Cyprian's stress on the unity of the church, the parity of bishops, and the equality of all church members—a model of the church close to post-Reformation Anglicanism.
Significant MisunderstandingsEvangelical Misunderstandings of OrthodoxyOrthodoxy's use of icons (visual representations of Christ and the saints) has bothered evangelicals, who argue that it can easily tend toward idolatry and worship of images of God. However, the Second Council of Nicea (a.d. 787) emphatically denied that icons are worshiped. Following John of Damascus, it distinguished between honor (Gk. proskynēsis) given to saints and icons, and worship (Gk. latreia) owed to the indivisible Trinity alone. Icons are regarded as windows to the spiritual realm, betokening in the church's worship on earth the presence of the saints in heaven. Moreover, the idea of image (Gk. eikon) is prominent in the Bible. The whole creation reveals the glory of God (Ps. 19:1 ff.; Rom. 1:18–20).
On Scripture and tradition (the teaching of the church), both sides appeal to both sources. There is an overwhelming biblical emphasis in Orthodox liturgy—the Bible has been translated into the local vernacular wherever Orthodox missionaries have gone—while the Reformation did not ignore tradition but had a high view of the teaching of the church. The issue is not the Bible alone vs. tradition; it is which has the decisive voice, the last word over the other? For evangelicalism, the Bible is unequivocally the Word of God (e.g., 2 Tim. 3:16), while all human councils may err, and therefore the Bible must finally judge the tradition that seeks to expound it. For Orthodoxy, however, the decisions of the early church councils and church fathers often function in practice as equal to the Bible in authority.
Orthodox Misunderstandings of EvangelicalismThe Orthodox confuse the Protestant doctrine of predestination with Islamic fatalism. But the Bible teaches both the absolute sovereignty of God and the full responsibility of man, since God's decrees also take into account the free actions of secondary causes. The Orthodox mistakenly believe that the doctrine of predestination is monothelitism (the heresy that Christ had only his divine will but no human will). The idea that predestination short-circuits the human will is misplaced.
Many Orthodox polemicists accuse evangelicals of ignoring the church's part in salvation. However, the classic Protestant confessions attest that the church is integral to the process of salvation, the Christian faith being found in the Bible and taught by the church. Orthodoxy at this point confuses classic Protestantism with the view of later individualist views.
Substantive DisagreementThe Eastern Tendency to Downplay the Preaching of God's WordLargely due to historical events (the depredations of Islam) and despite Orthodoxy's heritage of superlative preaching (Chrysostom, Gregory Nazianzen), worship in the East is more visual than worship in evangelical churches. Sermons are part of the liturgy, but the focus is as much on the icons and the symbolic movements of the clergy. Gregory of Nyssa stressed God's visible revelation in creation, along with the ambiguity and inadequacy of language.
The way Calvin resolved this question was to understand the knowledge of God in auditory terms: God's Word must be heard by us in faith. For Calvin, God reveals himself in his Word by the Holy Spirit. In the Word read and proclaimed, God addresses us personally. We cannot see him but we hear him. His verbal revelation is true and reliable, and the preaching, teaching, and meditative study of it comprise the prime channel of God's grace.
The Relationship between Scripture and TraditionFor Orthodoxy, tradition is a living, dynamic movement, the Bible existing within it and not apart from it. Orthodoxy also believes in biblical authority but as part of a larger whole. Evangelicals believe that the Bible is the ultimate authority.
The Palamite Doctrine of the TrinityThe influential archbishop of Thessalonica, Gregory Palamas (1296–1359), promoted a distinction, later widely accepted in Orthodoxy, between the unknowable essence (being) of God and his "energies." But this view has driven a wedge between God in himself and God as he has revealed himself, threatening our knowledge of God with profound agnosticism, since we have no way of knowing whether God is as he has revealed himself in Jesus Christ. This formulation defies rational discourse, since it tells us that we cannot say anything definitive about who God is, with the result that the Christian life is reduced to noncognitive mystical contemplation. It introduces into God a division, not a distinction.
The Veneration of Mary and the SaintsOrthodoxy considers it possible, legitimate, and desirable for Christians to ask Mary and other departed saints to intercede with God on their behalf. But neither Jesus nor Paul ever suggest that this is possible or acceptable.The point is not that request for prayer is made to saints as such, for all Christians ask living saints to intercede with God for them. What evangelicals object to is the belief that departed saints can receive our prayers and so intercede on our behalf. The Bible does not encourage us to put our hope in the prayers of departed saints; it directs our hope to Christ, his return, and the resurrection, not to contact with saints departed (1 Thess. 4:13–18; cf. 1 Samuel 28; 1 Chron. 10:13; 1 Tim. 2:5).
Orthodoxy insists that the incarnation mandates icons of Christ, since God has chosen to reveal himself in human form. Evangelicals are equally emphatic that the second commandment prohibits the use of images in worship, and many think that using icons of Christ as aids to worship oversteps acceptable boundaries in that regard. Both sides claim the other is heretical; Orthodoxy considers evangelicals guilty of Manicheeism, entailing a deficient view of matter, while evangelicals argue that icons of Christ imply a Nestorian abstraction of Christ's humanity. (Manicheeism holds that there are two coequal realities, spirit and matter, which are respectively good and evil. Nestorianism is a heresy that separated Christ's divine and human natures.)
Synergism in SalvationThe East has a vigorous doctrine of free will and an implacable opposition to the Reformed teaching on predestination and the sovereignty of God's grace in Christ. In this aspect, Orthodoxy is farther away from the Reformation than is Rome. The difference in respective weighting of grace and the human will is far-reaching. It entails differing understandings of the extent of human sin and the nature of Christ's work.
Compared with Rome, How Far Away from Protestantism Is Orthodoxy?There are ways in which Orthodoxy is closer to classic Protestantism than is Rome. Both were forced into separation from the Roman Church, and both agree in their opposition to the claims of the papacy.
The structure of Orthodox churches is much closer to that of Reformed churches, especially the Anglican church. The Orthodox recognition of the parity of all believers, and the autonomy and autocephalous nature of local churches, is far closer to Reformed polity than is the Roman hierarchy. Hence, Orthodoxy does not have the same accumulation of authoritative dogmas as Rome. Moreover, the Orthodox stress on the Bible opens up a large commonality of approach.
There are, however, ways in which Orthodoxy is further removed from evangelicalism than is Rome. Protestantism shares the Roman Catholic understanding of the Trinity. Orthodoxy's stance on the filioque controversy, and its distinction between the essence of God and the divine energies, produce a different form of piety.
Western faith is centered in Christ; the East's is more focused on the Holy Spirit.
As Orthodox theologian Kallistos Ware put it, Rome and Protestantism share the same questions, but supply different answers; with Orthodoxy, the questions themselves are different.
And FWIW, these are our Fathers too, you know.

Well...... I think this is a good effort. Someone at least tried to do their homework, which is an improvement.
Western faith is centered in Christ; the East's is more focused on the Holy Spirit.
Quote from: Dnarmist on December 04, 2010, 07:56:41 AM Western faith is centered in Christ; the East's is more focused on the Holy Spirit. Dude, seriously??
And how about the fuzzy math? It said that there are 218 million Orthodox ( that's a bit low. Most estimates I have seen are closer to 250, but no matter) and there are a whopping 830 million Protestants.. The problem is that Protestants dont all believe the same thing. The Orthodox do. So in reality, Orthodoxy is the second largest confession of faith and Protestantism is the third. ?
Dnarmist,As far as the part you highlighted, I would say that Reformed protestants, if not most protestants in general would take the Roman Catholic position. Meaning, they would see us as the ones splitting with Rome instead of Rome being the one that split from us. If they said that Rome split from us then that would automatically make protestantism null and void.
At least its better than the answers in genesis article.
Which AiG article are you referring to? They had one about the Eastern Orthodox?Shouldn't they be more concerned about proving dinosaurs in the Bible and getting the funds to build a real Ark?
The book does not go back quite far enough in history. But since Eastern Orthodoxy was born only in the 4th century (p. 567) and is based on the writings of the eastern 'Holy Fathers' since that time, this is not surprising.[...]Orthodox beliefs about the Virgin Mary (essentially the same as the Roman Catholic view) being 'most Holy Mother of God' and 'incorruptible' peek out occasionally (pp. 215, 392, 418). These are contrary to New Testament teaching, and indeed to the teaching of the church leaders in the first few centuries[...]in reality EO locates its supreme authority in the writing of the 'Holy Fathers,' who were also 'God-inspired' (p. 409).[...]some of their ideas also led the EOC and RCC away from important doctrines (e. g. the supreme authority of Scripture and justification by faith alone15) and into some very anti-biblical doctrines and practices (e. g. the veneration of icons, saints and Mary), which have kept many in spiritual darkness (as any missionary working in Orthodox countries can attest)

Historic City News reporters were on the scene of a lunchtime crash, one block north of SR-312 on US-1, that sent a mother and her daughter to Flagler Hospital with serious injuries; after the Jeep struck a pick-up truck, bounced off a center curb, and went flying into the air — landing on the driver's side in a northbound traffic lane.
The driver of the late model, two-door, hardtop Jeep Wrangler, was driving north on US-1 with her young daughter in the passenger seat.
The mother, whose name has not yet been released, may have been distracted and was said to be operating at excessive speeds; according to witnesses on the scene.
A man and his wife were at the stop light on the east side of US-1, between Taco Bell and Wendy's, in their bright-blue, Ford F-150 pick-up truck. When the light turned green, the couple proceeded into the intersection, headed west, into the Seabridge Shopping Plaza near Kentucky Fried Chicken.
For a yet unknown reason, the Jeep did not obey the red light and entered the intersection, as well. Almost midway through the northbound lane, the pickup truck crashed into the Jeep, sending it into a partial spin.
The drivers of the Ford truck were not injured. When instructed by law enforcement officials, they were able to drive the truck out of the roadway. The remains of the Jeep Wrangler were cleaned up and towed by Southern Wrecker and Recovery Service.
Alcohol is not suspected as a contributor at this time, however, the cause of the crash is still under investigation by Florida Highway Patrol.

Deciding to implement a PKI architecture is not an easy task to do. There are many factors which must be taken into consideration if we want to benefit from PKI technology.
Before moving into explaining various PKI architectures and the criterion we use to choose the one that best suits our needs, I will make a brief overview about PKI technology so we all know what I'm talking about.
What is Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)?
PKI ensures a secure method for exchanging sensitive information over unsecured networks. In addition, PKI provides authenticated, private and non-reputable communications.
PKI makes use of the technology known as public key cryptography. Public key cryptography uses a pair of keys to scramble and decipher messages, a public key and a private key. The public key is widely distributed, whereas the private key is held secretly by an individual. Messages are protected from malicious people by scrambling them with the public key of the recipient. Only the recipient can decrypt the message by using his / her private key, thus retaining the privacy of the message. The public key is distributed with a digital certificate that contains information that uniquely identifies an individual (for example name, email address, the date the certificate was issued, and the name of the certificate authority which issued it). Also, by using digital certificates we can digitally sign messages to protect the integrity of the information itself and achieve non-repudiation (digitally signing a transaction is legally binding and no party can deny his /her participation).
Components of PKI
In a PKI system, digital certificates are issued by organizations called Certification Authorities (CAs) i.e. Verisign. Requests for certificates are usually processed by organizations called Registration Authorities (RAs). An RA's responsibility is to evaluate each request, investigate the profile of each applicant and inform the appropriate CA about the trusting level of the client. After the trust verification of the applicant, CA issues the certificate. I have to mention that it is common for RA to be included within the CA environment as one component.
The operation of CAs and RAs are governed by appropriate policies, the Certificate Policy (CP) and the Certificate Practice Statement (CPS). The first provides rules for naming certificate holders, the cryptographic algorithms that will be used, the minimum allowable length of encryption keys, etc. The latter details how the Certification Authority will implement the Certificate Policy (CP) into its procedures.
{mospagebreak title=PKI Architectures}
In this section I will present the different types of CA architectures that are generally considered when implementing a PKI. PKI may be constructed as a:
- Single architecture
- Hierarchical architecture
- Mesh architecture
Every architecture is distinct from the others in respect to the following:
- The numbers of CAs in the PKI system
- Where users place their trust (known as a user's trust point)
- Trust relationships between CAs within a multi-CA PKI
Single Architecture
A single architecture is the most basic PKI model that contains only a single (you wouldn't expect more, would you?) CA. All the users of the PKI place their trust on this CA. The CA will be responsible in handling all the users requesting a certificate. As there is only one CA, every certification path will begin with its public key.
Figure 1 Single PKI Architecture
Hierarchical Architecture
A hierarchical architecture is constructed with subordinate CA relationships. In this configuration, all users trust a single "root" CA. The root CA issues certificates to subordinate CAs only, whereas subordinate CAs may issue certificates to users or other CAs. The trust relationship is specified in only one direction. In this PKI architecture, every certification path begins with the root CA's public key.
Figure 2 Hierarchical PKI Architecture
Mesh Architecture
A mesh architecture does not include only one CA that is trusted by all entities in the PKI system. CAs can be connected with cross certification creating a "web of trust" where end entities may choose to trust any CA in the PKI. If a CA wishes to impose constraints on certain trust relationships, it must specify appropriate limitations in the certificates issued to its peers.
Figure 3 Mesh PKI Architecture
{mospagebreak title=Criteria to Choose a Certain PKI Architecture}
As I described in the previous section, we could select one of the three main PKI architectures (single, hierarchical and mesh) to implement in our own situation. Before implementing a PKI system, someone should weight the criterion mentioned below according to the specific needs and requirements of the organization to decide which PKI architecture is more appropriate:
The budget of the organization poses a constraint in choosing a PKI model, as it needs to buy dedicated machines to host each CA. A single architecture requires only one machine to host the CA, whereas a hierarchical or mesh architecture need several machines (along appropriate software, licenses, etc.) to support these kinds of PKI configurations. In addition, their is the need for hiring more personnel in order to operate CAs, thus spending more money.
Human Resources
The size of the organization (and thus the number of employees) constitutes another limitation in choosing a PKI model.
A single architecture is preferred when the organization is small and does not accept many requests for certificates. Also, small organizations usually do not want to occupy dedicated personnel in operating the CA; they assign CA operation to someone who has already other responsibilities as well. In addition, a single architecture is simple to deploy, therefore it doesn't require much technical experience.
In the case of larger organizations, the choice of either hierarchical or mesh architecture is feasible assuming that appropriate personnel is available to manage CAs' operation.
Structure of Organization
The structure of the organization plays an important role in selecting the right PKI architecture. Small organizations should focus on implementing a single PKI architecture as this configuration scales easily to support a small community of users.
Large organizations should avoid single architecture as it doesn't scale well; they should choose between a hierarchical and a mesh architecture. Trust relationships are frequently mapped according to the structure of the organization, i.e. the structure of many organizations such as the government is largely hierarchical. A hierarchical architecture is suitable when the departments of the organization have distinct operations and do not need to exchange information often. In addition, managing a hierarchical architecture is easier than having to manage a mesh architecture with many trust relationships. On the other hand, a mesh architecture is preferred (rather than hierarchical) when users / group of users/ departments etc communicate frequently. It allows direct cross certification of the CAs of the end entities that need to communicate often, reducing certification path processing load. However, it does pose a more complex management of the PKI system as sometimes path discovery is difficult since there are multiple choices.
Resilience of CA
In a single architecture, if the CA is compromised no one could obtain any certification services. This problem exists in a hierarchical architecture also. When a "root" CA is compromised, this results in the the entire PKI being compromised. This problem results from the reliance on a single trust point. A mesh architecture is more resilient since there are multiple trust points. Therefore, if a single CA is compromised, this cannot damage the entire PKI system. Also, recovery is simpler in a mesh architecture than in a hierarchical; the new public key is securely distributed to the users of the recovered CA, affecting fewer users.
{mospagebreak title=Conclusions}
The purpose of this article was to give the reader an overview of the PKI technology, the main architectures used to build a PKI system and a set of criterion to help them choose between these architectures.
As we can understand, it is important to have the same levels of confidence and trust in the electronic world as we have in the traditional world, and this can be done by implementing a PKI system.
Closing up, I will summarize which PKI architecture is best and when. A single architecture should be selected when the organization is small, with low budget and low demands for certification services; a hierarchical architecture is more appropriate for large organizations, that have appropriate budget to support the PKI implementation, with departments that do not need to communicate frequently, and the ability to support a demanding CA management (but not so complex); a mesh architecture should be selected (instead of the hierarchical model) if the departments of the organization need to communicate often and the organization can support the complex management of the PKI environment. However, we should have in mind that in a mesh architecture, sometimes the certification path development is more complex than in a hierarchical architecture, complicating verification of certificates and managing of the PKI system. In addition, we have to take into consideration the resilience of the PKI system, although there may be limitations such as the budget and management that prohibit the selection of a certain PKI architecture based on the resilience criterion.
Finally, I advise choosing wisely the PKI architecture that is more appropriate for you and your needs to best benefit from what this technology can offer you.

It is also important to know the amount of any retainer that you must pay in order to hire the attorney. If you don't already know a good closing attorney, ask for referrals from people you know, but be skeptical about referrals from brokers involved in your transaction. Ask about to the experience they had in dealing with their attorney and find out who they like to work with. Most people try to find a balance between the two, but depending on your budget and the complexity of your case, you may need to favor one over the other.
Meet with at least five real estate lawyers, find out their level of experience, how many similar cases they have won and their fees- both hourly and flat fee then choose the one that quotes a reasonable fee for the services provided. Finding the right attorney for you means finding one whose services you can afford. In addition to the phone book and/or a friend that might recommend a lawyer, there are several other sources for finding a qualified attorney to represent you. A lawyer that solved their divorce rapidly and seamlessly may not be able to handle a real estate transaction with the same efficacy.
What does a Argyle Forest, Florida real estate attorney do?
But other than that, what else should you look for when choosing a real estate agent or broker for your business? A seasoned attorney became wise from the experiences he got from all the transactions and litigations. Because the seller is bearing the upfront title search cost, the seller has the right to choose the title insurer. Hiring a real estate attorney may seem like just another person and an added cost, but this cost could save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in the long run.
This lifts a huge weight off your shoulders, just knowing that you have someone battling for you, if everything turns bottom up. Your attorney should be able to advise you of any issues, your options for addressing them, and whether they may warrant consideration of other properties. Having a real estate attorney in Argyle Forest, Florida 32244 handle the title search will often provide this service more quickly and also with less cost associated if the search reveals a pending lien or court judgment. There are various factors that cause someone to become suspicious due to activity, misleading or missing details, transactions that do not connect with the right facts and many other concerns that real estate agents may observe or miss.

Why do I need a Argyle Forest, Florida real estate attorney?
A real estate lawyer in Duval County, Florida would caution against signing any document without consulting legal representation, avoiding anything that appears suspicious and to always ask questions. To make this process less stressful and more fun, think about hiring a reputable real estate attorney. Real estate law can be extremely complex, so it is always recommended to hire a lawyer for real estate valuation and litigation matters, who can structure lease agreements or transaction agreements so that you are protected in the future.
When buying or selling a property, the first move any novice thinks about is hiring a real estate agent.
Disclosures must be made properly, titles must be cleared, and many specific local laws must be complied with carefully. While you may be able to get a good real estate deal on your own, it's better to have an experienced professional in your corner working to make you a success. When you rely on a real estate lawyer during this time, any disagreements may be settled quickly, and you can remain outside of the court. Chances are, you read over your mortgage contract with a real estate agent present to help explain the ins and outs of your contractual obligation.
Is a Argyle Forest, Florida real estate attorney expensive?
However, if you have selected the right attorney in Argyle Forest, Florida to assist you with the real estate transaction, he or she can help relieve the stress of the closing by ensuring that all of your documents are prepared correctly and ready to sign, the deed has been drafted, and all the necessary paperwork is in order. If so, ask if you will have the chance to meet with him or her regarding your real estate transaction. There will be a lot of fast moving pieces and heightened emotions–and you don't want to rush this.
While it is an exciting step to take, it is a long process that involves contracts, loans, and other paperwork that should always be approved by an attorney first. Before deciding on hiring any legal help for your real estate transaction, take a look at these five important things to consider. All real estate lawyers are not the same, and there is more to selecting an attorney randomly picking a name form the phone book.

The Ultimate Fighter 18 women's bantamweight champion Juliana Pena has been forced out of her first bout since the show due to a "severe" knee injury. With Pena out, former Strikeforce bantamweight champion Sarah Kaufman has lobbied to take her place opposite Jessica Andrade at UFC 171.
MMAJunkie was first to confirm the rumors of Pena's injury earlier today.
Pena apparently suffered the injury a few days ago and will require surgery on the injured knee. "The Venezuelan Vixen" was looking to make her first appearance since a dominating run en route to winning TUF 18 late last year. Pena has battled knee issues in the past and could face a considerable layoff after this latest setback.
With Pena out, the UFC has already been working to find a replacement for opponent Jessica Andrade. Several bantamweights have lobbied for a shot, including TUF 18 cast member Shayna Baszler, with former Strikeforce champion Sarah Kaufman among them. The former champ tweeted earlier today:
Kaufman was last in action at UFC 166, where she lost a razor thin decision to the fast-rising Jessica Eye. Kaufman has won three of her last five and would be a more than viable replacement for the injured Pena.

BEIJING - More Chinese cities reported rises in new home prices in October than in September, data showed Sunday, the first gain in three months as the government works to keep the property market in check.
Prices in 35 out of 70 cities tracked by the government rose month-on-month, the National Bureau of Statistics said in a statement, up from 31 cities in September and the first increase since July. Prices of new homes dropped in October in 17 cities and remained unchanged in the remaining 18 cities, it said.
China has implemented measures to control property prices for more than two years, including bans on buying second homes, raising minimum down-payments and levying property taxes in some cities.
Officials have said the measures are aimed at bringing down home prices to a "reasonable" level. China's slowing economy has recently showed signs of a turnaround, with exports, retail sales and industrial production data all showing renewed vigour.
Expansion in the world's second-largest economy slowed for seven straight quarters through the end of September, but economists are expecting growth to accelerate during the current three-month period through December.
Beijing expects gross domestic product to grow 7.5 percent in 2012, a marked slowdown from the 9.3 percent recorded in 2011 and 10.4 percent in 2010.
The government is aiming to rebalance the economy away from reliance on exports and more towards domestic demand in coming years, in hopes it can steer growth onto a stable and sustainable track.

NY Times on Wawa vs. Sheetz
February 10, 2013 | Food and Drink | No Comments|
Fuel and Food Are Quick, but the Fealty Is Forever – The Times
The comforts of two chains of convenience stores — Wawa in the east, and Sheetz to the west — inspire Pennsylvanians to choose sides.
There really isn't any new ground in this Times story — I blogged about it 4 years ago when The Post did a story on it, but I thought I'd post it anyway.
I've written about Wawa vs. Sheetz before too — I'd be happy if either one opened near my home or work. Sheetz is unlikely, so that leaves Wawa. Hurry up! If places like Virginia Beach and Hoodbridge can have one, why can't Alexandria, Arlington or Tysons?

Dayton Regional STEM School Art Reception & Auction
During the month of March, the Charles & Renate Frydman Educational Resource Center (ERC, 116 Allyn Hall) will display posters created by Dayton Regional STEM School (DRSS) tenth grade students as part of their recent study of conflicts and genocides. This unit is a collaboration between World History teacher Arch Grieve and Language Arts teacher Jenn Reid, who are leading this project for the fourth year. About 45 pieces of artwork will be on display this year. They highlight the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, the recent conflict in Bosnia, the tensions between Israel and Palestine, and the United Nation's action/inaction regarding these last two conflicts.
In previous years, the student posters have been on display at the Dayton Peace Museum, Wright State University, and the Dayton Art Institute. This year, the students wanted to be proactive to help alleviate problems caused by genocide and conflict. They decided to auction their artwork, with the proceeds going to UNICEF. The ERC is pleased to serve as host for the DRSS Art Auction and Reception, to be held on Tuesday, March 11th, from 5:00pm-6:00pm. Enjoy some light snacks, meet some of the student artists, and bid on artwork that speaks to you. We hope you will join us!
To learn more about the unit, check out the project page on the STEM School website:

Dec 1, 2012 at 09:59I tried last Sunday the open buffet and it was really good. Outdoor has a great setting and a playground for kids so do not miss it if you go out with friends or family especially in sunny days.
Jun 23, 2013 at 17:38The place is pretty spacious and nicely decorated but to be honest the food is not that great. I tried outdoors 3 times and the 3 times I did not truly enjoy the meals. The first time I ordered some brazilian plate, the ingredients in the menu were not found in the plate, only the meat was there, I was very disappointed. The second time I ordered a chicken wrap I guess, it wasn't that bad! The third time, I ordered one of the burgers, but the meat was pretty chewy, it was also a disappointment. But if you are looking for a place that fits a large group then it is recommended for that!

The Music Within Us
April 1997
-- Oliver Wendell Holmes
Late last year, the poet Scott Hightower brought to my attention the work of Will Heekin. Will, born November 13, 1959, grew up in the Bronx. He attended Fordham University and was an actor as well as a poet. While on holiday break from studying writing at Columbia University and after a short stay in Cabrini Hospital, Will died at home on January 3, 1996.
David Matias lived -- and wrote -- in Provincetown for nine years. I did not know him personally, but I encountered him via a beautiful poem posted on the bulletin board at the Universalist/Unitarian Meeting House. The son of a Baptist minister, David was born in Dallas on February 5, 1961. He graduated from Trinity University and received an M.A. from the University of North Dakota. In 1994, David was a fellow at Provincetown's prestigious Fine Arts Work Center. His work will appear in two forthcoming anthologies: Starry, Starry Nights and Things Shaped in Passing: More Poets for Life. David died on December 13, 1996.
There's a rainbow across your face,
A VIEW FROM OUR DECKOn the deck, on the roof, close with the South sky,
I observe life like a hawk at the top of his tall tree.
All those joggers, roller bladers, bicyclers, cars going
back and forth like pedestrian ballet dancers, dashing across
the Route 6-A stage. The proscenium of curving road to my right
and curtain of trees to my left, hide their entrances and exits.
I sit on white K-Mart plastic furniture, happy I have
the strength to be up here today, on a beautiful July afternoon
which offers a blue dome and a subtle sea breeze that cools sunrays.
"The Walking Lady" darts by. She's a bit of a mystery right now.
People in town rumor she has Anorexia, a foul mouth,
and is constantly moving her limbs, or eating fudge.
Gaunt and sickly, she stares up at me with a look in her
heavily made-up eyes, like she knows something I don't know.
A lot of them stare. With a shake of their head a friendly envy
points its way to my lounging. Vacationers gawk or even yell
as they pass, Great deck! I smile and wave. Sometimes.
They want to know. They want to think life can be great.
They want to see themselves relaxing on a deck, across from a beach,
sipping a chocolate frappe, and reading an Isabel Allende novel.
They want to believe I am healthy or have never battled aids.
Just like the runners, just like all of us, they want to live longer.
Upon this pressure-treated-wood deck, connected to a black
steel spiral staircase, which gives a few friends vertigo,
I'm unable to really see the sunset. It takes place behind a hill
of wild pine and steep roof tops. But gliding Westward, the
Herring gulls' bellies do reflect an orange glow . . . which an hour
later, turns into a light lavender. Their view far better than mine.

You know there are certain colors that appeal to you more than others, and when you choose a less than favorable color you look pale and your skin looks uneven.
The focus of my website is to help you to discover your best colors with the original four season system originally called Color Me Beautiful.
This system helps you determine whether you are a Winter, Summer, Autumn or Spring woman based on the undertone of your skin.
It teaches you how to shop for your best colors so your skin and personal coloring radiate.
Choosing your best colors absolutely affects every choice you make when shopping for:
Color does not have a price tag. It is just as easy to buy the most flattering colors as it is to buy those that are not your best.
Within each of the four seasonal palettes is a wide range of colors. Each season has red, green, yellow, blue, purple, brown, etc. The difference will be in the shade, intensity and undertone of the color.
This system is not limiting.
Any color that is not in your palette can be worn, just not close to your face. There are wallets of fabric colors for each of the seasons that you can carry with you to shop.
Did I mention the color analysis system also saves you money and there's no more impulse shopping?
A little overwhelmed? Don't be. I am here to take you step by step...
This is just a small selection of the makeup beauty tips and advice available on the site, so browse through and enjoy!
