Your crystal ball sucks!
I've been seeing a lot of speculation going on about new upcoming games and where they are going to sit. Well I'm here to tell you, your crystal ball sucks and here's why. Keep in mind I'll be going through almost every big-time known MMO that will be upcoming and announced as of now. And then give you my insight of where today's plus future MMOs will sit. If I'm missing some obscure indy MMOs, bite me.
lo and behold the mighty tyrant company from overseas. Like Lineage II, I foresee Aion being a couple million NA subscribers. Like or it or hate it, it will be here to stay and run along in the game that is know as who has the most subscribers. It will easily be in the top #5 for some time and many years to come.
Ya iunno, fuck it. Some say it will play with Aion others say it won't. I stopped following it years ago when they stalled an NA launch.
Fallen Earth
This is going to very niche maybe if they are lucky a few hundred thousand. I'm not here to pick on these MMOs and tell you what is wrong with them but this just isn't going to apply to a mass audience. Mark my words.
Mortal Online
If they keep things going, the way they are going, mortal online will be another Darkfall. Boasting to be more superior than it's competition they are following the same forbidden path, by claiming to have amazing features yet still just on paper. Very niche.
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Despite it possibly a massively single player MMO, it will still attract Star Wars fans near and far and I think it will make a good turn out, defeating it's counterpart (SWG) by at least two times, I see it reaching close to a million subscribers, you just watch.
Guild Wars 2
Easily going to be #2 for many years to come. Millions will play this, no doubt about it.
It's going to be as niche as ffxi was here in NA, a little over a half mil subscribers.
World of Darkness
what can I say, many MMOs that take risk end up no where near the top of the game, I don't see this amounting to much, specially if it is a female vibe like rumored. Let's play Twatlight Online wee!
The Secret World
Sounds cool, sounds innovative, sounds likes a new genre, but really like I said risk barely stands out in the crowd. It doesn't need to be, but it won't be a big hit.
<Insert Super Hero MMO Here>
Up! Up! And... dead. It's over.
Star Trek Online
Only a legion of trekkies would go as so far to play such a thing and even Cryptic isn't giving them what they want. This will miss and shut down after a couple years. Then sold to SOE where they will tie it down and do dirty things to it, then send it to the world to only to completely fuck with the fans of it and then shut it down after collecting on something they rarely lifted their ass off their chair to update.
Yo yo yo what up gansta, let's beat these hoes for dumping on our game dawg. (They wish to teach their hoes a lesson for not paying up for those that don't understand idiot) Sumtin sumtin bang bang skeet skeet. At any rate, who doesn't love to wreck havoc in an open world city GTA style. Hell I played a lot of GTA when it came out, but it was for the missions, the free roaming, the chaos I could create with in the world. How much of that you think will be any good in this? None. Hit, miss, and then drive-byed by old grannies shooting prunes with sporks.
Stargate Worlds
If this ever sees the light of day I owe my grandma $50 and have to bake a sheet of chocolate chip cookies. In other words don't count on it.
Top 5 Predictions of 2012
#1 WoW, King of the jungle, even blizzard won't beat it's own tyrant if this thing stays #1 for 5 more years I wouldn't be surprised. It's the only MMO I know that celebrities actually play and think is cool. I mean when you got celebrities on your side...well let's just say Blizzard probably has a lot of invites to jam packed parties of snorting coke off a hooker's ass, orgies, and loud music. BAM!
#2 Guild Wars 2, If you don't think this will be in the top 3 by then, you seriously live under a rock. I'd switch to a cardboard box if I was you.
#3 Star Wars: The Old Republic, A huge IP hopefully being done right by a company with a long track record of successful single player games. Star Wars is star wars and any star wars fan will follow a star wars game, this one being no exception. It will be big.
#4 Aion, Aion will hit the chart in the tops fast but I figure it will drop down here in the NA. It will still have a good million + subscribers but it will be loosing subscriptions around this time.
#5 Blizzard's Announced MMO Project, I think it will do great, but not that great. A new IP is risky. It may not even interest the WoW crowd, which would be their intention to grab and pay for both.
Call em, see me, lay em out. Let's see how good your crystal ball shines.

We finish up today our series on Darrell Cosden's fine book, The Heavenly Good of Earthly Work. If you are looking for a book that "justifies" work, this is it — and I think we need more of us thinking more deeply about this subject and we definitely need more preaching and church instruction on "work."
Genesis 1-11 contributes to a theology of work:
1. In ordinary work, we are God's apprentices, God's co-workers.
2. Work is not all there is to life.
3. Imaging God physically — this is our destiny and our identity.
4. We live in a world that is redeemed and yet not fully redeemed.
Cosden emphasize God's judgment, but that judgment is not annihilationist but "transformative" so that we and our work are purged and transformed into something useful for eternity.
Here are three great quotations:
"it is largely (though not exclusively) through our work that we reflect God's image and co-operate with him in bringing people and the whole creation to humanity's and nature's ultimate maturity and future" (129-130).
"Mission is the work (God's work) for everyone created to be in God's image and indeed therefore for the whole people of God" (135-136).
"Work is the mission (God's mission) for everyone created to be in God's image and indeed therefore for the whole people of God" (136).

Optimises truck dispatch so harvesting machines do not interrupt cutting of raw material.
Aiming to optimise logistics in the field, One Line seeks to ensure that the harvesting machines do not stop the cutting activity due to lack of trailers. To do so, the product employs dispatch optimisation algorithms which are stored in the Onboard Controllers of the harvesters and tractors responsible for moving these trailers.
Monitoring the positioning of each item of equipment, the system is responsible for deciding when a tractor must be moved to the operating location of a harvester. This decision considers distances between equipment, times and routes for movement and the synchronisation of execution of the activities between the machines.
In other words, the effect expected is that, when a harvester is finishing the loading of a transshipment cart, there is available, in the place, a second trailer to replace the first one – without the harvester having to wait and stop cutting the raw material. And, regarding the transshipment area, there occurs an analogous process of synchronisation. Everything supported by the resource of machine-to-machine communication by long-distance local WiFi network or Radio.

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who expect, once Summer kicks in and business at the garden centre slows down while most families turn their attention towards vacations of one form or another, for me to head off somewhere either hot and exotic [Umm, no!] or somewhere cool, shaded and perpetually raining. [Now you're talking my language people!]
Truth is, I usually find myself already headlong into what I can only refer to as being a mid-Summer withdrawal. Not a pretty sight! For he whose life is most content in the presence of his green children, the month of August can be downright jarring. He could spend his entire time off basking in the beauty that is his garden, [just today the rest of the family packed off for a week at a lake in Orillia.] or else he could sequester himself on a shaded veranda with a pile of half read books, [He might just do that for the days that have rain in the forecast] but more than likely he will find himself up at the 'crack of stupid' on his first official vacation day, with trusted iPhone and Sam Smith playlist at the ready, and thanks to his ever generous employers for letting him use their Rio while they too are away camping, on his way to the woodland plant nursery where it all started seven Summers ago!
Rumour has it some people leave their hearts in San Francisco of all places, but for me, a pulsating piece of my heart will always reside at Lost Horizons, that mecca of all things shady and woodland in nature located a whisper away from Acton, Ontario. For me, the year I made its discovery, it was my 'dirty little secret' insomuch as it was unlike any other garden centre I'd ever witnessed. I quickly learned the difference between a garden centre and a garden nursery [the former being where plants and grown and propagated] as opposed to most 'centres' who order in stock and sell through over the course of a gardening season. Nurseries are usually owned and run by certifiable plantaholics, male or female. Such is the case with Larry Davidson, who, twenty years after he began humbly selling plants from the end of his drive, is now one of Canada's most knowledgable plantsmen - a career that seems more at home to England or China, but is a most welcomed treasure for plant geeks like myself. I did spent the better part of two seasons basking in the generous knowledge that is Larry, and although I have moved on, for me every visit is reminiscent of 'going home' again.
'Did you say you were looking for a specific Hosta?'
I have two stringent requirements that I use to gauge the merit and credibility of a 'nursery': I want to be able to print out a catalogue of all of the plant product that they carry - [ it doesn't all have to be available on the day that I visit!] and it should not be printed on glossy paper, nor for that matter should it include often mis-guiding photo shopped to hell and back pictures, and one last non negotiable stickler - it must use botanical latin names. Ah huh! I think I have just 'separated the wheat from the chaff' as my Gran was fond of saying. I know I am not the only garden enthusiast who is more than tired with the 'dumbing down' that has been occurring within the industry. Gardens Illustrated is the ONLY gardening magazine that I read, thanks to it recognizing that we're not all looking for watered down information about what for many of us is, the love of our lives! Ok. Rant over!
Aconitum 'Burgfurst'
So we've established the difference between a 'centre' and a 'nursery,' I've introduced you to the remarkable plantsman who created this amazing woodland plant mecca, so I guess its time to do a walk through if you're ready! Granted, there is a sales area with benches near to the check out area, but for the most part plants find homes along pathways, in hoop houses and anywhere else that affords them the cool shade and moisture that are essential to their prosperity. The alphabet is for nursery 'schools' - just saying! Meander the paths, stopping to bend down to examine a specific plant that might have caught your attention. For me it was Aconitum 'Burgfurst' - a delightful 'monkshood' selection with heavily divided, almost lacy foliage. But no, he did not come into my greedy clutches, at least not on this visit. I had my mind set on a single plant, one that is part of a genus that currently holds me its eager and willing captive/hostage. More of this later! Oh! Well seeing that the following set of photos may or may not focus on said Genus, guess I'll spill.
I encountered what was my second certified 'Epiphile' - those who enamoured to the point of obsession with the genus Epimedium during my second year at LH. The late Elizabeth Ingulsfrud made a lasting impression on my mind, both with her dowageresque presence on that quiet Sunday [dressed as she was from head to foot in black, aided with a cane] and I was soon sucked into the beguiling world that is the Epimedium. Larry and she between the two of them were likely in possession of the largest collection of Epimediums in the entire province. And now, all of these years later, and with a personal inventory that is closing in on twenty, I was looking for Epimedium sutchuenense, a sublime newer species from China that has attractive, mottled foliage as it emerges in the Spring. According to Larry's catalogue/tome it, '... possesses sprays of twenty or more medium sized flowers with white sepals flushed purple and reddish-purple, and long spurred petals!' Spurred petals and bruised Spring foliage: done deal!
The photo directly preceding, as well as the three below are all taken in what is one of my two favourite hoop houses on the property. Most plants are grouped by genus, and while not all pots contain identification tags, the majority do or can be easily identified if you're able to find the green wizard [Larry] himself. I was thrilled to see his enigmatic presence as I walked the gravel drive toward the retail area, knowing that we'd likely get a few minutes to commiserate about the 'green world' that we call home.
Epimedium 'Amber Queen'
Next to the Epimedium house is where Larry has assembled his collection of rockery plants. It too is a rather substantial collection. Its pathway always makes my heart beat a wee bit faster, as this is also where one can be, if they know where to look and are thoughtful and respectful of their surroundings, introduced to some of Larry's latest discoveries, all cohabitating happily among one another in a delightfully shaded series of beds. It is where I first stumbled across the surreal Meconopsis grandis, not to mention three of my all time favourite plants: Diphylleia cymosa, Deinanthe caerulea, and one must NEVER leave out Anemonopsis macrophylla.
It was in this secret haven of future offerings that I was introduced to a stunning new Actaea - one of delightfully large foliage and stature that is happily bulking up so that we plantaholics might soon be able to welcome a division or two to our own garden sanctuaries!
The irrigation provided a nice respite from the sun that was getting warmer by the minute. While it is regaled for its woodland plants and atmosphere, Lost Horizons also offers a comprehensive selection of plant material that have slightly sunnier dispositions! Having said such, it is the plant in the photos below that never fails to stop visitors in their tracks. Massive, lightly lobed, toothed foliage is suspended 1m above the ground. Deep wine-burgundy fruit [somewhat aromatically challenged = unpleasant] hang below the magnificent foliage. It is always in high demand, so it was heart warming to see that it is happily self propagating itself in the raised bed where it resides!
Podophyllum pleianthum
Deinanthe bifida
Crossing a wooden footbridge, you enter the display gardens, which to some, rival the selection of plants available at the nursery. Approximately 2 acres of woodland scrub have been, over the past twenty years, transformed into a magical green sanctuary which is home to some of Larry's favourite plants. Hand planted himself, he hand chooses each plant, carefully assessing its growing requirements, its architectural structure and presence once mature, which has resulted in magic! Just look at the following photos!
A sharp squeal permeated the tranquil silence when I noticed this superlative Acer tegmentosum 'White Tigress' - which may or may not have been the same single specimen that resided in a 'not for sale' section of the Acer hoop house during my tenure. Look at that amazing striped bark. and that foliage. It looks so very much like that of another of my perennial favourites - Kirengeshoma palmata!
Run Will Robinson, Run! We're going to burn to a crisp in this hot sun!
Forgive me Larry for venturing into your 'living space' but I simply had to photograph this stunning vignette. Look at the stone slabs, and those planters are beyond words. This is what one can expect when they contract Larry to design, construct and install a garden for them. Nothing but the very best in available product - from the masonry down to the dwarf Iris!
The instantly recognizable 'Lutyens' bench
Visitors to my own green sanctuary, are always commenting on the 'layering' style of planting that I favour. I wonder where I may have learned that? I think when you are as passionate a collector/hoarder as some of us are, you simply find even the smallest sliver of available space and add yet another mesmerizing child to the family. For me it wasn't intentional in the beginning - but as the years have passed, I find myself appreciating the tapestries that this style of planting often rewards one with!
I found myself walking in circles, looking for this stunning clump of Kirengeshoma palmata - the very one that first introduced me to what I consider to be an essential element to every woodland garden. How stunning are those ebony infused stems, each one clasping gorgeous palmate foliage, and to know that delightful shuttlecock shaped waxy, canary yellow flowers will smother the plant from mid August well in to September..... what is there not to love about this gem!
Back over the bridge, I spoke with a new face to the nursery,hopefully impressing upon him the opportunity that he is newly embarking upon: If you can show Larry that you are passionate about the plants that make up a large part of his world, the green world is in essence an oyster that he will generously serve up to you one portion at a time. I will forever be greatly indebted to this generous, knowledgable plantsman, and know that wherever my horticultural career takes me, there will always be a sliver of my being that will forever be attached to Lost Horizons.
Single Epimedium in tow I walked towards my car with a rejuvenated appreciation for my own garden which contains many of the same plants I stumbled across today. Larry had magically appeared at the front gate, and after another short repartee, I headed for home, looking forward to next Spring at Cedar Spring Nursery where I hope to be able to woo even more gardeners over to the wondrousness of the 'shadier' side of life.

Best and worst deals of the January transfer window
By NICK PAPADIS
College Contributor Network
With the January transfer window now closed, squads across Europe are set for the rest of the season. Teams will now have to hope that the transfers they made over the last month will be sufficient to help them close out the 2014/15 campaign.
Millions upon millions of dollars were spent in January, some on good deals, some on poor deals. Some clubs also neglected to make necessary deals.
Best Deals:
Xherdan Shaqiri to Inter Milan: Inter's signing of Xherdan Shaqiri, which took place early in the transfer window may be one of the best signings by any European club.
Inter, who currently sits 13th in the table, needed to make key signings to help them reach their goal of a European qualifying spot. They will hope that the loan signing of the 23-year-old, Swiss International, will help them close the eight-point gap.
Toronto signs Giovinco: After losing some talent with the departure of Jermain Defoe, Toronto responded quickly by signing Sebastian Giovinco from Juventus.
The Italian forward had opted not to resign with the Italian giants, and it was expected that he would move to another top European club. Many clubs around Europe were interested in the striker, but Toronto captured his signature early in the transfer window.
Torres makes Atletico loan move: Though many never thought they would see the day, Fernando Torres' career has made a drastic recovery. The Spaniard made an early window move to AC Milan permanent and the Italian giants then immediately loaned the 30-year-old to his former club Atletico Madrid. Since joining his former side, Torres has scored multiple goals against both Barcelona, and derby rival Real Madrid.
Real Madrid sign future star: One player who was sought after by almost every club in Europe was Martin Ødegaard. The 16-year-old had been courted by several top name clubs, but signed with Los Blancos.
If he stays healthy and lives up to potential, Ødegaard will undoubtedly be one of the best signings of this transfer window, though it may not be seen for years to come.
Wolfsburg gets rejected star: Hopes are extremely high at Wolfsburg following the past week's events. After handing Bayern Munich its first loss of the season in league play, the Wolves have made a huge signing in André Schürrle.
The 24-year-old German, who scored key World Cup goals, has returned to his home country and will link up with former Chelsea teammate Kevin de Bruyne. Schürrle will definitely provide a spark to Wolfsburg as they look to hold second place in the Bundesliga.
Destro makes Milan move: AC Milan will hope to turn around their mediocre start with the signing of Mattia Destro from Roma. Milan have had scoring troubles and will hope that Destro is the man to do the job.
The young Italian scored 24 goals in 57 matches for his former side and will hope to bring that form to Milan.
Doumbia replaces Destro: Roma did not go without making moves of its own in the transfer window. After sending Destro to Milan the Giallorossi replaced the striker with Seydou Doumbia.
Doumbia, who moved to Serie A from CSKA Moscow, is going to be a key signing for Roma as they hope to challenge Juventus for the top spot in the league. He will also be a great addition to a squad with experienced forwards such as Francesco Totti.
Ali chooses Spurs: England U18 and U19 midfieder Delle Ali was also involved in a January transfer window move. The switch came as part of a buy-loan deal with MK Dons.
Ali moved to Spurs, but was loaned back to the Dons for the remainder of the season. Ali had been surrounded by transfer rumors and was wanted by multiple English clubs, but ultimately chose a move to North London.
Bertrand deal made permanent: After a successful loan spell in the first part of the season, former Chelsea defender Ryan Bertrand made his move to Southampton permanent on deadline day.
The signing is sure to be key to Ronald Koeman's squad as he looks to keep the Saints in a spot near the top of the table. Southampton is currently in a Champions League qualifying spot and will hope to stay there through the end of the campaign.
Worst Deals:
Aaron Lennon goes to Everton: Everton's signing of Aaron Lennon was one of the weaker signings of the transfer window. With quality wingers such as Kevin Mirallas, the signing of Lennon was not a necessary one for the Toffees.
With the loss of Samuel Eto'o, depth at striker should have been the key move for Everton.
Real Madrid signs another midfielder: With considerable depth at midfield, Los Blancos should not have opted to sign Lucas Silva, but they chose to sign the 21-year-old Brazilian. The signing of Silva adds to Toni Kroos, James Rodriguez, Isco, and many other central midfielders.
However, Carlo Ancelotti opted to add depth to his team with the possible departure of Asier Illarramendi and Sami Khedira this summer. Silva's choice to join Los Blancos could cost him some playing time, but also could pay off if some players depart in the upcoming transfer window.
Sanogo joins Palace on loan: This move of Arsenal's Yaya Sanogo was not a poor signing for Crystal Palace, but was a poor choice for the Gunners. The North London side severely lacks depth at forward, yet they opted to allow a quality young player out on loan.
Arsenal will have to hope that Olivier Giroud and the other forwards stay healthy for the remainder of the season now that they are a man light until the end of the campaign.
Defoe/Altidore swap: Neither Sunderland nor Toronto benefited from the swap of the two forwards. Though Toronto gained a younger player in Altidore, they lost the quality goal-scoring ability of Defoe.
Defoe, as an older player was much more suited for MLS than the Premier League. This could be an issue for Sunderland as they have lost a young, fit player in return for an older forward that may not be able to play a full-length match.
Chelsea signs star winger: While many consider the move of Juan Cuadrado to Chelsea one of the key moves of the transfer window, it was certainly not one of the best. The Colombian international joined the league leaders on deadline day in a move that saw Mohamed Salah go the other way and Schürrle join Wolfsburg.
The major issue with this transfer is the considerable depth at the same position. With the former Fiorentina man's arrival, it is imminent that a current Chelsea starter will now be riding the bench. It is likely that Willian will be the victim of Jose Mourinho's latest signing and will possibly lose his starting spot.
Bony joins City: Another team that did not take depth into consideration when making January transfers was Manchester City. The Citizens spent a reported £28m on Ivorian Wilfried Bony and added further depth at striker.
With so many quality strikers such as Sergio Aguero, Stevan Jovetic, and Edin Dzeko, the question must be asked of the decision to spend so much on Bony. It can only be expected that at least one striker may be on their way out in the next transfer window.
Missed Chances:
Arsenal: Though they did make a couple of January transfer moves, Arsenal failed to make signings at key positions to fill gaps in their squad. The Gunners lack considerable depth at forward and central midfielder, yet opted to sign no players at either position.
Dortmund: After finishing second in the league last season, Borussia Dortmund sits in a dismal last place, despite making several summer signings. Jürgen Klopp's side also failed in the January window, making only one signing.
Dortmund signed Kevin Kampl from Red Bull Salzburg, but failed to make very necessary signings if they have any hope of avoiding relegation this campaign.
Liverpool: Another club that failed to make necessary moves to help their position in league play was Liverpool. The Reds lack depth at several positions including forward and holding midfield, but failed to make any January signings for the second season in a row.
Brendan Rodgers has chosen to wait until the summer transfer window to sign a replacement for Steven Gerrard who will join the LA Galaxy this summer.
Manchester United: Despite good form, Manchester United is one of many Premier League squads that could have added depth in the January window. The Red Devils have some of the best forwards and midfielders in the league, but do not have the needed depth needed at center back.
Louis van Gaal has opted to wait until the summer window to make several large moves, rather than settling for a player lower on his wishlist. The Manchester club did not go without attempting to make January moves but was unsuccessful in all attempts.

Three Ohio Wesleyan University football players will play in bowl games this month.
Senior quarterback Mason Espinosa (Cookeville, Tenn.) and senior wide receiver Dave Mogilnicki (Middleburg Heights/Midpark) will play for the Red Nation team in the National Bowl game on Sunday at Alfonso Field at FIU Stadium on the campus of Florida International University in Miami.
Senior tackle Bryan Bowling (Grove City/Westfall) will play for Team Stars & Stripes in the Tazón de Estrellas (Bowl of the Stars) on Saturday, Dec. 21, at Estadio Technológico on the Tec de Monterrey campus in Monterrey, Mexico.
The three Bishop standouts were key components of an offense that ranks sixth in NCAA Division III in passing (336.3 yards/game).
Espinosa ranks fifth in NCAA Division III in passing yards (325.5/game) and 18th in total offense (314.6 yards/game). He finished his Ohio Wesleyan career with 11,072 yards passing and 10,842 yards total offense, ranking 13th and 17th on the respective NCAA Division III career lists. Espinosa holds Ohio Wesleyan and North Coast Athletic Conference career records for passes attempted and completed as well as passing yards and total yards.
Mogilnicki ranks second in the NCAC in receiving yards (89.0/game) and fourth in receptions (5.7/game). He finished his Ohio Wesleyan career with 163 receptions for 2594 yards and 27 touchdowns, with all 3 figures ranking second on the Bishop career lists.
Bowling anchored the Bishop offensive line from his left tackle position, helping pave the way for the Bishops to rank fifth in the nation in passing in 2012 and sixth in 2013.
This year's edition of the National Bowl will be the fourth, with kickoff set for noon Eastern time on Sunday.
The Tazón de Estrellas (Bowl of the Stars) is being played for the fifth time, with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. Central time on Saturday, Dec. 21. The game is a descendant of the Aztec Bowl, matching a team of NCAA Division III players against a team of all-stars from private Mexican colleges.

Let's get one thing straight: if you want to write about the casino slots games history, you can't do that without mentioning IGT. (By the way, IGT stands for International Game Technology.) We can define the company as a global gaming and lottery systems developer with a focus on online casino slots, slot machine, and lottery games. But this is just the "technical"; definition; IGT is the "inventor"; of the modern video slot games.
Let us explain: the story begins in 1971 in Colorado. IGT is known as A-1 Distributing Company back in those days and produces pinball machines. In 1984, the company acquires another firm called the "Electronic Data Technologies". Their role in the slots casino games industry starts with this acquisition. IGT developed the first "frequent-player rewards" program and combined this with their games – IGT casino slots were the first examples of "personalized" casino games. Today, almost all of the online casinos offer this feature under the names of "VIP club", "Special Section" etc.
Not only that, but they were the first to produce casino games with progressive jackpot systems. In 1990, they released the world's first video poker game with a progressive jackpot pool of 1.000.000 dollars. Speaking of world firsts, IGT is also the first company who started to use micro-processors in slot machines. In other words, they are one of the true pioneers of electronic gambling systems.
Today, they are listed in the New York Stock Exchange with a revenue of 2.000.000.000 USD. IGT is truly one of the biggest and oldest companies in the industry. Their main office is located in London, with offices from all over the world. They keep releasing all kinds of casino games on a monthly basis, but they are specifically known for the quality of their slot games. When it comes to best online slots, IGT always comes to mind. Especially the slot game adaptations – there are many TV show based slot games under the IGT catalog. We recommend starting with titles such as Jeopardy, Price Is Right, Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, Sex and the City, and Amazing Race. Yes, these are the adaptations of the original TV shows and they all are filled with winnings. If you are in for the high payouts, take a look at Super Times Pay, Double Diamond, and Super Progressive Diamond series – they are amongst the most awarding slot games in this industry.
Slotuniverses.com is the right place to play free IGT slot machines online. We offer the complete collection of all IGT games and require no download, even no registration. To be able to play IGT online slots in our site, all you need to do is picking the game you like and pressing the "free demo" button. If you want to try your luck with the real-money versions; we also offer the best online casinos on the internet for all IGT games.

|[beanutils] converting HTTP params into an arbitrary object model
|Sat, 21 Feb 2009 20:04:36 GMT
I have spent a day researching and prototyping with various open-source options available which facilitate converting an HTTP request's parameters into an object model of javabeans in a JPA persistence framework. I don't want to re-invent the wheel and I was quite confident that BeanUtils could handle it all, but I have now come across some areas where I need to code it myself. I just wanted to ask BeanUtils developers what the future holds in terms of my aims, as I'll take that as guidance on how much to code around BeanUtils and how much to compromise to get what I need, when there's a strong chance of being able to ditch the code I'll have to write now, to replace it with ideally just a couple of calls to BeanUtils. The main thing I have to work around is the inability of a custom Converter to know what class of entity beans belong in a list or set. If the Converter could see the entity bean owning the list (the parent in the parent-child entity relationship), then in Java 1.5+ it could work out by reflection how it has been parameterized with generics and which child entity bean belongs in the list. Just in case you were going to point me to OGNL to do this, thanks but I've been there and have some other issues with that.

This week on The Big Break, our audio diarists take us inside the rehearsal process for a brand-new play and out into the schools for ballet demonstrations. Actors Theatre of Louisville apprentice Samantha Beach works with playwright Lucas Hnath on "Night, Night," his act of "Sleep Rock Thy Brain," the high-flying apprentice showcase opening in the Humana Festival of New American Plays this month. The ballet company takes the week off, but not the trainees, so Claire Horrocks takes us into the schools with the trainee demonstration program.
Learn more about our audio diarists, who report in every Thursday on life with Louisville's performing arts companies.

We had a crazy busy summer, and I feel like we were away from home more than we were at home! We LOVE spending time in WA. Selena loves all the attention she gets, and all the room she has to run and play outside! For some unknown reason, my family has this drum set. No one plays them, except Selena. She is getting pretty good. I have high hopes she will be a musical prodigy :)
We got to go home for Collin's 8th grade graduation, all of the "kids" are growing up so fast!
Zachary's favorite part of going to WA is he always gets to get a little golfing in with my Dad. This time I was lucky enough to tag along. I am a little slow compared to the boys, so I am not sure if I will be invited back!
Selena gets SO spoiled while we are home. Sipping on her very own chocolate milkshake, courtesy of Grandpa. She had lots of energy after that!
Selena is growing so so fast. Some days I just can't believe the things that she says or does. She is seriously the coolest kid I know. She loves to wear her shades wherever she goes! She is almost 20 months now, and it is hard to believe I will have a 2 year old in a few months. She is saying so many new words everyday. Her favorite phrase right now is, "no", "please", and "help me!" She loves her baby, and is so cute with it. She will lay her baby down for naps, give her kisses, share her food with her, and play patty cakes!
Spanish Fork Splash Pad, it was impossible to get a pic of her looking at the camera!
We loved having a Seven Peaks Pass this summer. Selena was so brave and loved going down the tube slide with her Mama! I think we have a daredevil on our hands!
With Selena becoming more independent we have had more messes around the house! She was trying to help herself to a little snack one day and spilled an entire bag of cereal on the floor. No worries, she just ate them off the floor!
Brittani and Andrea came to visit and we had so much fun together! I love having these girls around, it just feels like home. We shopped, ate, talked, laughed, and stayed up way too late!
Selena thinks these shopping carts are the bomb.com and thinks the store is so fun when she gets to ride in them! It was a little bit sad when it's time to go tho, she has a hard time giving up the cool cart!
We celebrated our 5 year anniversary this year! We are getting so old. We are so blessed to have each other and we love being able to experience all that life throws our way together! We celebrated at the Fiesta Days Rodeo with Zachary's family.
Selena needs to get her own frequent flyer card after this summer. She has been quite the little jet-setter. We are dreading the day she turns 2 and we have to start buying her a seat. I am so lucky, because she is just the best little flyer. We have yet to have a single meltdown or tantrum on a plane. I am keeping my fingers crossed, the good luck continues!
Playing on the swings in WA, having a crazy hair day! Selena thinks it is so awesome that she gets to wake up and go directly outside to play, she is in heaven while we are there!
Carmen and Allen took us to the Portland Zoo (they are members!) Selena loved seeing all the animals, especially the monkeys!
Playing with her cousins!
Just being one of the big girls!
We have been spending some time down in Las Vegas with Zachary while he works down there, and I am not quite sure what it is, but whenever we are there Selena is a crazy woman! Maybe it's because we let her have crackers and a banana for breakfast on the couch while she watches cartoons...
We made it home for the fair this year, and loved watching the kids show their pigs! We also got our fill of greasy food, concerts, rodeos, and animals! Selena loved all the animals, and all the different people she could watch. Surprisingly enough what she really loved was chasing around Collin and all his boy friends whenever they were around! She always had her eye on them!
Big and Rich concert!
Poor girl had to get FIVE shots at her 18 month appt. It was so sad to watch, but she was super tough and was done crying as soon as she saw she got a sucker! She was staying as far away form that Nurse as possible though!
Selena in her BYU blue! She loves watching football with her Dad, and doesn't ever seem to get bored of it. She constantly cheers while the players are in action and randomly shouts, "touchdown!"
We went to a Dodgers game and she was really digging these big guys on the wall!
Cruising in her car at Grandma and Grandpa's in WA!
Selena and I like to go on a little lunch dates while Zac is out of town, which usually means chicken nuggets. She doesn't love nuggets as much as she loves fries though! Whenever we go out to eat with the family (which is usually not fast food, so therefore, no fries) she is always asking for the fries and wants to know where they are at. Silly Girl!
Down in Las Vegas, she had her shades on at the pool, and didn't want to take them off when we went home to take a bath!
While at the Portland Zoo, Grandma got Selena a little monkey purse and it is the cutest thing ever! Selena thinks she is pretty important packing it around!
Our last hurrah of the Summer. We took our bikes down to Long Beach. It was so fun! We just cruised around on our bikes and played on the beach. Selena totally loves the water and has no fear. The only thing she didn't like was the taste of salt water when she got it in her mouth. She would try and wipe away the taste with her hand!
I just love my little family so much. Sometimes I get a little nervous thinking about adding one more. Things are just so perfect right now, but I know that once that baby gets here we won't be able to imagine being just a family of 3. A family of 4, sounds so...big! We are excited to find out on Friday what we are having. Zachary and I both think it's a boy, so we will see if our intuition is correct!

(We are taking a breather from CoC for a bit, and giving Shadow of the Demon Lord a try).
Our story begins in the remote village of Respite, a small community dedicated to the heresy of the Sun King. Founded five years ago by refuges from the war-torn borderlands between Coventry and Manachaea, they established the settlement in a small valley in the foothills of the Moorfog Mountains. Once the valley was bountiful, but recently a pestilence seems to be making their livestock and crops sicken. Some whisper it is because the Morfairsing, that accursed forest, has grown too close, tainting the woods at the vale's edge, while others believe a witch has come to lay her curse on them, to torment them for being god-fearing folk.
Though the town is mostly human, a handful of non-humans have settled here as well. Because of local prejudice, four of them have become loose friends, frequently playing cards at Respite's one Inn & Tavern, Godsworn, or working together as nightwatchmen for the village Militia. The key members are:
- Edwin O'Flaherty is a Goblin that settled in town seeking to make a quick buck. As such he is an "upstanding" member of the Militia, but runs a side-business as a fence for the less-than upstanding Innkeeper Philipe Goodheart. The Mayor, Rickard Bailey, turns a blind eye because Edwin keeps in well supplied with Crimson Leaf, an addiction they both share.
- Panare Bre'ad is a Faun who moved here with her sisters some years ago. Their mother had been a "free spirit" in her youth, and as such none of her daughters had the same father. While her sisters, Rhiannon Stargazer & Lanja, are both human, Panare's father was something… else, leading to the rumor that their mother was a witch. While her sisters are more scholarly and manage an herbalist shop, Panare's rambunctiousness left her drawing the short lot when it came time to pick a member for the town Militia. As a conscript, she spends most of her nights with the Night-watch, but makes a little extra on the side as a rabble-rouser for Philipe Goodhart when the Innkeeper wants to stir up the locals indirectly..
- *Mazagog Lagzag" is a bitter, brutal Orc who killed a man while on his rite of passage, taking his sword as a trophy. Only he found the man had laid a death curse on him as well, a curse that puts him in terrible pain should he ever kill another.Sold into slavery by his tribe for being a wuss, he eventually was purchased by Mayor Rickard Bailey, who holds him as his indentured servant and personal valet. Though he serves his master loyally enough, he still sneaks off to sacrifice small animals in the woods to the Dark Gods of his Ancestors, preying his curse might one day be lifted so he can kill again.
- Number Four is a Hobgoblin Soldier who was separated from his unit while scouting the edge of the Morfairsing. Found near the edge of the Hungry Wood, half-starved and unable to speak a lick of the common tongue, Edwin and Panare found they were the only ones able to speak with him and persuaded the Mayor to let him settle with them as another addition to the night-watch. Respite has come to accept him as possibly the best tracker in town.

Rihanna's new concert tour merchandise has been revealed and it plays on the artist's previous statements about not being a traditional role model.
With everything from hoodies and t-shirts to hats, the designs of these clothing are as powerful as the artist that they represent. Some of the concert tour merchandise features pictures of Rihanna -- the black hoodie display words like 'role model' that have been crossed out while the hat says 'Bitch I Know You Know.' The clothing perfectly represents the artist's personal style aesthetic and markets itself to the young fans that Rihanna appeals to.
Rihanna's popularity is on a constant rise and with merchandise that reflects her rebellious attitude, many fans are sure to invest in the branded ANTI tour gear.

On Aug. 20, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano met with leaders in the faith, labor, business, law enforcement and immigrant advocacy communities to discuss immigration reform.
Several member organizations of the Interfaith Immigration Coalition — which includes the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) — participated in the meeting.
Following the meeting, the coalition issued the following statement:
The Interfaith Immigration Coalition is grateful to Secretary Napolitano for recognizing the vital role of faith communitiesin the conversation on immigration reform. During the meeting, President Obama repeated his commitment to achieving reform, stating that 'immigration is a problem begging to be fixed.'
Each day in our congregations and communities, we witness the human consequences of a broken and outdated system. We see the exploitation of undocumented workers and the plight of separated families, as well as the escalation of community fear due to indiscriminate raids and local police acting as federal immigration agents.
Comprehensive reform is the most effective and sustainable path to enforcement. There is much work to be done on a bill which unites families, ensures due process, protects workers and provides a pathway for earned legalization for millions in our midst. In the meantime, we ask Secretary Napolitano and President Obama to build public support and speak to the urgency behind immigration reform.
We expect to see detailed proposals from Congress soon and look forward to working closely with members of Congress, the administration and with our growing grassroots network of people of faith around the country to achieve compassionate and comprehensive immigration reform.
"While the immigration legislation timeline has been pushed back, we walked away encouraged by the surprise visit and hopeful about remarks from President Obama who renewed his commitment to immigration reform — something that hasn't received much media attention yet," said Allison R. Johnson, campaign coordinator for Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform, in an email to supporters after the meeting.
The Interfaith Immigration Coalition (IIC) is a partnership of faith-based organizations committed to enacting comprehensive immigration reform that reflects our mandate to welcome the stranger and treat all human beings with dignity and respect.

Detroit is dead, long live Detroit
Watching "Requiem for Detroit", a BBC documentary on the rise and fall of the city of Detroit, among the many things that attracted my attention was how the automotive industry in the 50s influenced the current culture and in a way is responsible for the materialistic way people live their lives today.
When owning a car stopped being a privilege of the rich, Ford and General Motors made the car a need for everyone.
Ford increased the daily wage to 5$ in a time when the average USA wage was 2.5$ in order to make his cars affordable among his employees.
General Motors created 2 series of cars, The Cadillac, the more expensive car targeting the rich and the Chevrolet for the lower middle class. Everyone should own a car.
Both were responsible for and the main pressure group for the creation of the great Detroit freeways, creating the sense that further to a need for the obvious reasons, driving can also be a great experience. This way they created a need for sports cars, which, of course, they provided for.
It is true that the automotive industry raised the standard of life among the residents of Detroit who increasingly started moving to the suburbs. GM did not fail to spot the opportunity to market cars as a need among the suburbs wives, if they were to be modern and independent.
Detroit's flourishing and prosperity made the city inspirational for Americans living in across the country, spreading the need for a car and the general Detroit lifestyle beyond Michigan's borders.
I can't help wondering; if Detroit is the actual place when it all started, the hometown of imposed needs and material happiness, what does its collapse mean for the rest of us?
A new beginning, I hope. Thankfully, social media have enabled global dialogue and this means that only people, and not an industry alone, can influence people.

Eastbourne's all-weather lifeboat was launched shortly after 11pm last night (Thursday) in response to calls for assistance from a Dutch registered yacht with three people on board, which had suffered mechanical problems while on passage to the Solent.
The crew of the 12 metre yacht had set out very early in the morning with the intention of reaching Brighton for an overnight stop before continuing their passage to the Solent.
An RNLI spokesperson said, "Having made slower progress than anticipated, they found themselves well short of their intended destination, tired and exhausted with midnight fast approaching.
"Their plight was further compounded when the yacht's engine failed making it unsafe to attempt to enter harbour in the prevailing weather conditions.
"Despite being well equipped they chose the sensible option of contacting Dover Coastguard for assistance. The Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre (MRCC) at Dover requested the launch of Eastbourne RNLI. The volunteer lifeboat crew were
paged and were exiting Sovereign Harbour within 10 minutes and on scene with the stricken yacht just 15 minutes later.
"A tow was rigged and the yacht with its grateful crew were taken to the safety of the marina at Sovereign Harbour. The lifeboat returned to its moorings and the crew disbanded in the early hours of Thursday morning for some well earned rest."

New Left Review 6, November-December 2000
What is the role of Dushu in Chinese intellectual life, and how do you conceive your position in it as editor?
The first issue of Dushu was published in April 1979. Its leading article was entitled 'No Forbidden Zone in Reading', and you could say that has been the spirit of the journal from the beginning. This is how we do our editorial job today, and we will never change it in the future. The first editor of Dushu came from the Commercial Publishing House in Beijing, historically the most important imprint in modern China. A year later, Fan Yong—a progressive publisher with close links to the intellectual world since the forties—took over. I think he was the most significant figure in the history of the journal, making it a key forum for new ideas and debates in the eighties. From 1979 to 1984, most of these were raised by an older generation of scholars or open-minded official intellectuals, like Li Honglin, Wang Ruoshi and others. It was they, for example, who took up the issue of the relations between Marxism and humanism. Then around 1985 a younger levy of intellectuals took centre stage. Among the most active were the Editorial Committee of Culture: China and The World, a series of translations aiming to introduce classics of modern thought from abroad, most of them produced by the Sanlian Press, which is also the publisher of Dushu. The journal ran many reviews of these books, which attracted a lot of attention from university students, graduates and fledgling intellectuals. There was an enthusiastic reception of modern Western philosophy, social theory and economic thought. Nietzsche, Heidegger, Cassirer, Marcuse, Sartre, Freud, not to speak of modernization theory and neo-classical economics were eagerly canvassed in the articles of the time. There was some resistance to all this, since the style in which these notices were written was often criticized as too difficult or obscure. Looking back, one can see that this younger generation was more interested in introducing new theories, without any necessary political bearing, whereas the older generation had a much closer relation to politics. In this phase Dushu was not a radical journal—it was relatively detached from the political ferment of the late eighties. But an intellectual space for further discussion was created, which was not without significance in 1989.

text: S&P Downgrades France, Italy, 7 Others Paris and Austria lose AAA status By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Jan 13, 2012 4:19 PM CST 13 comments Comments France's President Nicolas Sarkozy makes his New Year speech in Paris Friday. (AP Photo/Charles Platiau, Pool) (Newser) – Standard & Poor's has downgraded the government debt of France, Austria, Italy, and Spain by one notch, but maintained Germany's at the coveted 'AAA' level. The cuts, which eliminated France and Austria's triple-A status, deal a heavy blow to the currency union's ability to fight off a worsening debt crisis. In total, S&P cut its ratings on nine eurozone countries. Italy was lowered by two notches to BBB+ from A, Spain fell to A from AA-, and Portugal and Cyprus also dropped two notches. The agency also cut ratings on Malta, Slovakia, and Slovenia. The downgrades come as crucial talks on cutting Greece's massive debt pile appeared close to collapse today. (Read more S&P stories.)

Sorry, no etymologies found.
GOOGLE pascals wager if you want to compare the odds there is a God, to the odds that there is NOT.
I understand that the kg/cm2 unit is now deprecated and that tensile strength is more commonly quoted in GPa (giga pascals) but how many kg/cm2 is equal to a GPa?
To their surprise, the scientists found the lichen and bacterial spores survived all but the most cataclysmic impacts up to 45 billion pascals.
The cyanobacteria survived shocks of up to 10 billion pascals.
As an example, ambient temperature can be expressed in degrees Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine; barometric pressure can be expressed in atmospheres, inches of mercury at 32 degrees F, inches of mercury at 60 degrees F, millibars, pascals, kilopascals, and pounds per square inch.
Air permeability is measured in cubic metres of air lost per hour per square metre of the house's external area when it is pressurised to 50 pascals.
P is the pressure in pascals, V is the volume in liters, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (8.315), and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

Fruity: Plum (Jeff), Berries (Rachelle) Smooth I don't like smell but tastes good (Rachelle) Low Tannins Fades at end, Jeff really likes the middle medium body Very drinkable
chalky with tanins
Dec 2007 got this bottle from Beringer wine club. it is jammy, silky, full of creme de cassis. We left 1/3 bottle on the counter for 4 days by accident. It was still amazingly full of fruit.
good dinner wine for all occasions
A little dry--I expect more fruit flavor from a merlot.

Wine Tasting NotesI'm very happy with the plush structure of this wine. The wine's berry fruit, vanilla, and caramel aromas along with a hint of smoke and dill, complement its blackberry and boysenberry flavors. The structureof this wine is perfectly balanced, and its weight and volume on the palate make this wine eminently drinkable.

HHMMM: Day 11
Sadly this will be my last batch of films until I get home Sunday. I am off to Larp in the woods and be away from the internet. Lucky for me I will be distracted and having fun, so I won't be missing the internets all that much. ;)
I got a good batch of films in today too, even a few black and white classics. Gotta go out with a bang right?
Kweeny's Rating: 3 1/2 witches out of 5
Summary: This sexy beast of a warlock escapes the 17th century to find some evil grimoire of all grimoires that has the true name of god, and if said aloud, will undo creation. Yup, that's the plot. It's kinda laughable, but if you don't take it too seriously it's a fun movie. And did I mention Julian Sands is the warlock and is dead sexy in it? Cuz well...he is.
Kweeny's Rating: Aaaarg My Fucking Eyes!
Summary: Bigfoot and his family kidnap a bunch of bimbos. I will say more on this movie on Saturday, when AMFE get's posted. Mad Jester and I will tear this piece of anal floss apart!
Kweeny's Rating: *howls*
Summary: The classic woman story in black and white! I love this campy film. Probably because I have a huge love for werewolves. They are my favorite beastie. If you don't know the story, a man get's attacked by a werewolf, and an old gypsy lady tells his girlfriend he's cursed and will turn into the werewolf. He will kill all in his path, and howl at the moon, and get real hairy and have bad breath. Okay, so I added the bad breath part. I figure it's bound to happen when you eat a lot of people. People can be gassy and get stuck in your teeth after all. He of course tries to fight it (he's a man of reason after all!) but it's no use. The wolf will always have it's day.
Kweeny's Rating: *scratches herself and sniffs the air)
Summary: I thought I'd follow up my werewolf kick with another black and white classic. I love the effects they use in the old films for turning people into werewolves. They are kinda cheesy. This one is about some doctor who needs to use the juice of a tibetan flower to keep himself from turning into a wolf. Wooo exciting! Actually I don't find this film as good as The Wolfman. I do enjoy The Wolfman more. I did see the remake of The Wolfman in theatres. I enjoyed it probably more than I should have.
And that's probably gonna do it for me for the week, unless I can squeeze in another by Sunday's end. I didn't do too bad as is though. Got some transformations in and lots of movies I haven't seen in years. I'm ready for next week for sure! Gonna fit Repo! in before all this is done! You just watch me!

Transferability and conclusion
The start of the model
UWE Bristol started working on the development of a University-wide workload model in 2008. This project led to the design of a spreadsheet to support the model, and to allocate staff resources to activities in "bundles" of teaching, research, management and other administration related activities. Although the spreadsheet served its purpose for a few years, it had its shortcomings.
System improvement
In 2012, a new project was initiated. The WLM-SAPI project (Workload Model System and Process Improvement) and the project team looked at designing a system which would be web-based, multi-user, user friendly and had some reporting capability.
This system was to be called WAMS (Workload Allocation Management Service). The Agile project management DSDM approach was used to develop the system, and users were heavily and regularly involved in the design. WAMS was launched in April 2013, and was made accessible to the UWE academic community in August 2013.
Innovation and Transformation Fund project
Whilst WAMS was being developed, UWE was approached by the Leadership Foundation to start a project in parallel. The project was funded by the Innovation and Transformation Fund. Its objectives were to disseminate information about the UWE academic workload model and WAMS, and to explore whether and how the model could be transferred to the HE sector in some form. The project also looked at making the system TRAC compliant using best practices from other HEIs already using workload model for TRAC submissions.
Webinars to support dissemination
The project team set out to transfer a lot of the knowledge that had been gained whilst developing the workload model for all faculties and departments. The actual physical transfer of WAMS to another HEI was not a "must" but a "nice to do". The team started with the dissemination of information and gauged the appetite of the sector for a workload model. Rapidly, it became clear via feedback from meetings, workshops and conferences that the desire for universities to have a workload model was increasing.
From the moment that the project team realised the high level of interest, webinars were organised with institutions wanting to be "early adopters" of the model and perhaps the system. These webinars gave in depth information about the formula upon which the model and system are based. They also released some information about the data model and infrastructure.
Importance of stakeholder involvement
However, the project team also realised that transferring the model and WAMS was not just about giving out the software code. What we had learned from our experience was that it is not only the system which is important, but the senior management's commitment, project management's expertise, the support of the faculty administration, the training of academic management, the communication and the presence of a governance group. If these elements are not in place, the system which ever one a university chooses will not be satisfactory.
The transferability complexity
The transferability process is complex. The project team under the Leadership Foundation project was rightly cautious from that perspective. It became apparent that a physical transfer would be demanding on respective IT departments. Another factor for not jumping into a transfer was that UWE did not have the capacity to simultaneously transfer to multiple institutions and to support and maintain the system outside UWE in the long term.
The Bristol based software development company Simitive has developed, in partnership with a university-run project 'Performance For All' ( PFA ), a suite of performance management solutions. These solutions are being delivered to a number of Higher Education institutions.
UWE has now entered into an agreement with Simitive that will enable Simitive to develop, maintain and support a version of the UWE WAMS that will be available to the HEI sector. A small number of universities are working closely with Simitive as 'early adopters' and the work is being steered by an HE working group chaired by Professor Martin Boddy, PVC at UWE who led ITF project . It is anticipated that the Simitive version of the UWE model will be ready for implementation by September 2014.
If you wish to discuss this solution further, please contact Theo Mason at Simitive.

Click on the image to see a beautifully realized simulation of Pacific Ocean radioactive contamination from Fukushima through a period of years. A couple of caveats:
1. The leaking of radioactivity is assumed to stop at some point, likely the time of phony "cold shutdown" announcement. The leaking continues to this day.
2. The graphics do not include radiation contaminating the ocean via rainfall and snowfall, which is the same way the land mass of North America has been contaminated. In fact, it's worse in the ocean, since these locations are physically closer to Japan than the continent.

A Remote Access Pod is designed to allow access to remote employees and customers and B2B external partners using the Internet and private dial networks as the transport medium. Within the pod, the Cisco Dial nodes, Nortel Contivity switches, Juniper's IVE (i.e., remote desktop), and high rated router devices are used.
The Remote Pod has load balancers (reference) installed to ensure that all the remote access traffic is evenly distributed between the devices available within a site. Two pairs of firewalls will protect all the devices, one pair on the external side of the network protecting the remote access devices from the Internet whereas the second pair will provide protection to corporate resources.

Just wanted to thank you for your nice comment on the EAC blog on my TAST band sampler. Yes, it's going to be quite long by the time I'm done as it's already 7 feet in length. Might be a bit of a pain to unroll every time I want to look at the whole thing.

Chili's Grill & Bar has selected NoWait mobile network to help their guests minimize waiting time in line. According to their technology spokesperson, "we are always looking to enhance the guest experience both inside and outside our restaurants." Will all the new mobile technology really enhance our restaurant experiences?
Read On:
Chili's new NoWait app feature will rollout nationwide this summer. It will enable its guests to check out availability/wait time to be seated at their local locations so they can punctually (?) show up for their scheduled table. "We are putting convenience and speed at our guests' fingertips before they even walk through our doors."
Their new app feature makes me think about two things: A.) What will people actually do with all the wait time nanoseconds they save; and B.) What did we do before mobile restaurant apps? Personally, if a table was not available, I would head straight to the bar and have a libation or two. As a result, over the years I engaged with people. Sometimes I either made new friends or resourceful business connections which added to my overall restaurant experience. Consequently, without apps, when it came to dining out, I got by just the same.
NoWait/no connections? Why the rush? You might miss an opportunity.
