VARs Must Plan StrategicallyBy Pedro Pereira | Print
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
Hardware sales are up for many VARs, but this could be more of a negative than a positive. VARs must remain focused on services and solutions selling to best meet future customer needs.Hardware sales are increasing for a good number of VARs and integrators, which at this point may be the worst thing that could happen to them.
While that may strike some as paradoxical, it isn't quite as hard to comprehend as some of the current economic mixed signals, which one day indicate the economy is slowing and the next day say job creation is up.
Many customers, having put off IT projects through the dry years following the dot-com bust and Sept. 11, finally are opening their wallets. They are refreshing aging equipment and adopting new technology, fueling the increase in hardware sales. This is the first major refresh since the Y2K and Web-development boon of the late 1990s.
Short-term gains are always tempting but not necessarily best. VARs and integrators with a sober eye on the future must think strategically. And these days thinking strategically means finding viable alternatives to product sales, especially hardware.
Not that VARs should turn their backs on large hardware deals, unless of course the margins are so tight to the point of voiding any potential profit.
But taking those deals without simultaneous strategic business planning is perilous. VARs and integrators should be looking at ways to de-emphasize hardware sales in favor of a more consultative approach around service and solutions.
This is a reality that presumably most VARs understand, even if perhaps not enough of them yet have acted on it. But those who have started to shift to a solutions and service orientation must keep their focus, despite the current hardware demand.
A temporary loss of focus may have long-term repercussions. It could even prove fatal.
As it is, IT trade association Comptia, of Oakbrook Terrace, Ill., has concluded that not enough VARs have shifted from a product-focused model to a solution orientation.
The organization considers the situation dire. It has resulted in a great number of VARs at risk of going out of business and an overall channel that lacks the necessary know-how vendors need to sell and service their solutions and services.
As technology entrenches itself in business processes and our overall modern lifestyle, it is imperative that VARs know how to sell, maintain and service it.
Selling a couple dozen PCs and a server to a customer will only get you so far. Those PCs and servers truly meet customer requirements, be they the automation of backroom functions, the ability to run reports that distill mind-boggling amounts of data into simple readable form, or the safeguarding of financial customer information.
Clearly, VARs and integrators cannot be experts on all things technological. It's important to have core competencies, so long as those core competencies aren't just about selling product.
Smart VARs like Future Vision Inc. of Raleigh, N.C., and Heartland Technology Solutions, of Joplin, Mo., understand the current realities of the market. That is why both have taken great pains in recent years to grow their services portfolios and continue exploring new revenue generators.
Heartland is planning a move into managed services, and Future Vision has been getting into things like security surveillance over IP.
PMV Technologies, of Troy, Mich., leads with the overall solution, according to Executive Vice President Scott Goemmel. The hardware is just one component in meeting the customer's business technology requirements.
PMV, as well as Heartland and Future Vision, know that selling product alone does not a future build. More VARs and integrators must follow their example if the channel is going to remain healthy when the current product refresh cycle draws to an end.

When composer Tobias Picker got a callfrom James Levine, no lessin 1997 to write a big, tragic opera, he didn't have to think twice about his subject. Picker had been drawn to Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy since age 10, when he saw A Place in the Sun, the film based on the novel. The book, he says, struck me as profoundprofoundly sad, profoundly moving. It gripped me as a story. The true tale of a young pregnant woman drowned by her boyfriend in an Adirondack lake in 1906 raises issues of class and religion and depicts human failings on a grand scalein other words, it's perfect opera material, especially in this elaborate staging by director Francesca Zambello, with costumes (pictured) by Dunya Ramicova. Clyde Griffiths, the central character, is Everyman, Picker explains. He wants success, the American Dream. But he really goes about it in the wrong way, so he gets into a lot of trouble. Very serious trouble. At the same time, he admits, it was a tough book to adapt: It's 900 very wordy pages, and, as Picker puts it, it's unnervingthere are no verbs for pages and pages. Was it too much? Did Verdi make a mistake basing La Traviata on a book, or Bizet with Carmen? It's based on a true-life story, and having a great writer tell this is a wonderful scaffold on which to hang music.

DIY Ticket Box
I'm one of those people who keeps a lot of their tickets, particularly cinema ones (fun fact: I still have my Mean Girls ticket from 2004) so the box frame turned ticket display is one of those popular Pins I knew I had to try out. A few months back I picked up this simple square box frame from IKEA and turned it into a ticket box which now sits out on display on my bookshelf.
It's inexpensive and easy to make your own ticket box, plus they look great hanging on a feature wall or sitting on your bookshelf! Here's how to do it...
First up you'll need to cut a small rectangle into the top of your frame so that you're able to add in more tickets when you get them. To do this you will need to use a jigsaw (or do what I did and ask someone else to use one for you...!). For safety make sure you remove the glass etc first! Once you have cut into the frame you'll need to sand any sharp edges.
It can be tricky to cut into the frame but don't worry the rectangle doesn't need to be very neat as you won't see it once the frame is on display!
If you want to you can skip these steps and just open up the back of the frame to add it tickets, it's up to you.
Next you'll need to create the background for your tickets. I used a filmstrip print scrapbook paper for mine but any paper will work. Cut to size by using the wooden back of the frame as a guide, pop it into the frame and reattach on the back.
Finally, fill with tickets and your new display box is complete!
As always I'd love to hear from you if you try out this or any other project from my DIY Archives - if you enjoy them please subscribe to my blog via Bloglovin' to make sure you don't miss any posts! :)

As much as we enjoy pointing out the crass reportorial efforts of The New York Times we also feel it's necessary to highlight good efforts by writers on staff at The Gray Lady.
In Tuesday's "New York" section of the paper there is an excellent article by Stephanie Clifford and Jessica Silver-Greenberg detailing how our banks are derelict in their fiduciary duties by not vetting their bank tellers.
Clifford and Silver-Greenberg go on to tell how easy it is for low paid bank tellers to gain access to our accounts and do major damage.
Identity theft and the financial theft that goes along with it crushes millions of Americans every year.
What is the surprising truth? The banks, the police, state attorney generals, the FBI and federal officials do next to nothing to stop these heinous crimes against average Americans.
Go ahead. Ask questions. Find out how many of your friends/family members have been victims of financial fraud. Then, ask them what the authorities DID to prosecute the offenders. You'll get the same response. Nothing.
Banks "write-off" the charge card thefts. Authorities find prosecution too difficult.
It's the citizens being left holding the losses.
Almost enough to make you support one of these whack angry populist hack political candidates…nahhh.

This method is the most basic and fastest method. In histogram compare method, "CompareHist ()" function is performed, and color-based comparisons are made. The method gives a very simple feedback. We can use those methods to compare histogram images; "Correlation, Chi-Square, Intersection and Bhattacharyya Distance" .In conclusion, i mentinoed and posted other image comparasion methods. Histograms is the easiest one so it has drawbacks. In the comparation results, errors occurs, because histogram method only compare colors in images. On the other hand it is ideal for simple comparisons. Improvements can be made to the image before using this method.
With this method, image similarity rate and percentage can easily be calculated. But as i mentinoed before, we need to use select an algorithm. The results may vary depending on the algorithm.

INDEPENDENCE TWP. � Brunton Dairy has been cleared to resume production of milk and ice cream, pending an inspection of its Independence Township facility, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture announced Tuesday.
A final inspection is required of any farm operation wishing to begin or resume on-site milk processing, department spokeswoman Samantha Elliot Krepps said in an e-mail Tuesday.
There are no additional tests or pending test results that would prevent the dairy from resuming processing and sales of its milk and dairy products, Krepps said.
Milk production at the nearly 180-year-old dairy was shut down in late October for a second time this year after the state agriculture department, which oversees dairy production in Pennsylvania, found Yersinia enterocolitica in glass-bottled fat-free milk.
Earlier this summer, 16 people who consumed the dairy�s milk became sick, but officials at state and federal health and agriculture agencies were unable to determine the source of the bacteria contamination.
Michael Rader, executive director of the Pennsylvania Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, which is headed by state Sen. Elder Vogel Jr., R-47, New Sewickley Township, said the department of agriculture is happy with the safety of the milk at the family-run dairy.
Rader said state agriculture officials will make final inspections of the processing side of the dairy�s facilities, including bottling and filling machines.

Jamie McIlree in Congo
Stephen Grant
The Lord opened the door for getting into Congo and I was given a 7 day border pass which allowed me to go and stay in Luanza despite having no visa. I'm thankful the Lord allowed the visit as we were able to spend time with individuals, couples and elders going through difficult situations.
In September we preached in the open air in the village of Tulombe and two women professed to be saved called Kazadi and Lukomba. There is no assembly there. Follow up Bible studies were started while I was there and other villagers started to come along. Two months ago false accusations were made against Lukomba and we would appreciate prayer for her and her husband Ngoey. Kazadi's unsaved husband told me this week that there had been a big change in her behaviour since she got saved and that gave opportunity to share the gospel with him. He gave his life to the Lord while we were there and we pray that he will show the same reality seen in Kazadi.
I'm leaving now for Congo-bashi which is the remote village with the potential for an assembly to be planted. We'll be teaching there for 2 or 3 days.
I have just received some extremely disturbing reports and pictures of atrocities being carried out in Manono and Moba. Many have now fled the areas. Please pray for our friends and brethren there.

Question: How long it too long when naming images? and does order matter in that case? and in the example you separated with dashes, is that best practice or are periods OK too? (mothers.day.roses vs mothers-day-roses).
Answer: OK, I think I misunderstood this in class. No one really knows. So I would keep them short, like 20 characters or less, use dashes to parse words. The trick is to put keywords all over your site, but not to overstuff it, don't make it look super spammy. So mothers-day-roses.jpg is probably the extent of it. Not mothers-day-roses-for-2011-flowers.jpg.
Google is smart. You can't over do it. But underdoing it is usually the real problem.

Tilburg, gemeente (municipality), southern Netherlands, on the Wilhelmina Canal. A small village until 1800, it grew rapidly into one of the chief industrial centres of the south, specializing in woolen textiles. However, textiles have been severely eclipsed, and the town's main industries are now food processing, printing, and the manufacture of paper, chemicals, and metals. The tourist office is located in the former palace of King William II, who died there in 1849. Much of the surrounding area is wooded; there is a 375-acre (152-hectare) recreation and amusement park, De Efteling, 8 miles (13 km) north. Pop. (2007 est.) 201,259.

1864 11th Massachusetts Battalion Report of Major Abram L. Lockwood - Cold Harbor to the Crater
1864 11th Massachusetts Battalion Report of Major Abram L. Lockwood - Cold Harbor to the Crater
Offered here is an incredible ALS written and signed by Major Abram L. Lockwood, commanding the 11th Massachusetts Battalion. It was written to Lieutenant William J. Rusling, A.A.A.G. The document is a report of the 11th's activities from Cold Harbor through the Battle of the Crater and was written in reply to Special Orders 209, that called upon combat commands to submit reports of their actions. On June 12th, many of the enlistments in the 11th Massachusetts Regiment expired. The five remaining companies were organized into the 11th Mass Battalion. They were joined on July 11 by two companies of the 16th Massachusetts. The 11th Massachusetts was part of Colonel William R. Brewster's 2nd Corps brigade during this time.
Major Lockwood included day-to-day entries in his report. For example, on June 16:
At Sunrise the Enemy opened in one position with Shot and Shell, killing 1 and wounding 11 men. The firing lasted about half an hour, during which time the men were exposed to a deadly fire without cover of any kind being stationed in an open field about five hundred yards from the Enemy's Battery. At 3 oclock P.M. this Battalion was ordered on the Skirmish line, and was engaged in skirmishing with the Enemy until dark when we was relieved and took up a new line some distance to the right, where we built Rifle pits in which we remained until the night of the 17th. In this immediate locality we remained occupying rifle pits and Breastworks until the morning of the 21st, when the Command moved to the left of the 5th Corps and then up a line of works connecting with those of that Corps.
Lockwood noted the June 23 death of a popular former commander of the 11th Regiment:
Colonel William Blaisdell of the Regiment was killed today while in command of the Corcoran Legion. After being relieved from Picket the Battalion returned to its former Camp where it remained until the 27th inst.
Later in July:
While in this Camp the Command has been engaged in leveling works and building covered roads, until the 26th of July when at 5 oclock P.M. the Command moved, and after a severe march bivouacked within one mile of the James River. At daylight on the morning of the 27th inst, we crossed the James River and moved out to the front of the position occupied by Gen'l Foster's forces, and halted in an open field, and after remaining here about an hour, were moved into a small piece of woods a little in our front. Shortly after getting into line the Enemy opened a Battery in our front and for a short time they shelled the woods in which we lay with great vigor, but without inflicting any Casualties in this Battalion.
Lockwood included many details about the Battalion's movements--shifting a few hundred yards one day, then back the other direction the next day--as Grant attempted to strengthen his grip around Petersburg.
The report was written on all four pages of an 8" x 12 1/2" bifolium stationery. The paper is in good sturdy condition, not stiff, and not particularly delicate. Very little wear to edges and corners. Little toning. A few very shallow tears at the edges of folds. Horizontal creases at original folds. Lockwood's penmanship is very easy to read.

Owning a credit card is definitely a necessity in today's society. Many companies will not provide services without the use of a credit card like renting hotels and vehicles. Credit cards are used to make purchases as well as deposits to secure a certain item or service. Some credit cards have an outrageous amount of interest being charged, which are typically designed for poor credit individuals. Other credit cards have a fairly low interest rate for those who have an excellent credit rating. However, these interest rates can fluctuate and change over time. In fact, credit card customers will often experience a low interest rate in the beginning of the contract.
After a certain period of time, the interest rate on a credit card will most likely go up. Even zero interest credit cards will have an introductory interest rate that will eventually go up. There are many different ways to take advantage of zero interest credit cards. In fact, individuals are able to pay off their balance before a payment is required in order to avoid interest. Paying off a credit card balance before a payment is required is only one way to avoid interest on credit cards. If the customer pays off their credit card balance every month, they will never have to pay on interest.
All credit cards can have a zero interest rate associated with the credit card if the balance is paid in full before the first payment is required. However, balance transfers also offer opportunities for zero interest credit cards as well. Balance transfers are the process of moving the balance from one credit card to another. Many credit card companies will offer a zero interest introductory rate to the customer if they transfer their balance. However, the introductory rate usually only lasts around 6 to 12 months.
A strategy that a lot of credit card users will implement when trying to avoid interest rate is performing balance transfers periodically. In other words, the customer will have their balanced transferred to another credit card before the introductory rate is over. By doing so, the customer is able to avoid paying interest rates, which ultimately leads to paying off the debt at a faster rate. There are more ways to avoid interest on credit cards like credit cards that offer discounts and bonuses. Credit cards that offer cash back rewards provide the customer the opportunity to use those rewards to pay for the interest.
In order to take advantage of credit cards that offer cash back rewards and zero interests, the customer must have an excellent credit score. These types of credit cards are basically designed for customers who have an excellent credit rating. The only way to avoid interest when having poor credit is by paying off the balance of the credit card before making the first payment on the amount that is borrowed. Those who have an excellent credit rating will experience zero interests for as long as 24 months with some credit card companies.
There are certain companies that offer no interest credit cards for qualifying customers. If you are seeking a personal credit card of this type, the first requirement is usually a high credit score. Companies will reward applicants who have good credit with no interest introductory rates. Make sure you read the fine print to see what the rate will be after the no interest period expires. Credit card holders who have an excellent credit score can take advantage of zero interest credit cards by transferring their balance every time their zero interest periods are over. Credit cards that provide zero interest for 24 months are high recommended in order to take advantage of getting out of debt. Some credit cards will offer zero interest on purchases during the zero interest periods. By paying off balances early, transferring balances, and using cash back rewards to pay interest, the customer is able to avoid interest payments all together on credit cards. This process also helps improve the individual's credit score as well.
By shopping around and investigating different credit card offers before applying, you can find the best one that not only offers a decent no interest introductory period but a low interest rate following this period. A few companies to look into include Chase, Capital One and Discover.
If you need a business credit card there are also opportunities to get zero interest for a certain duration. As a business owner, your goal is to spend as little as possible on unnecessary expenses so your profits are higher. So, in addition to interest rates you'll want to look at account origination fees, annual fees, late fees, balance transfer fees and any other charges applicable. All of this information is detailed in the terms and conditions section of any credit card application.
You may want to check with your local bank or credit union to see what kind of credit card offers they have available, especially if you already have a personal or business account with the institution. This way you can work directly with a representative at the bank to discuss the credit card options available to you and ask any questions you may have about the terms and conditions. And, many financial institutions have exclusive credit card deals for current members in good standing.
Another method of locating no interest credit cards is to use the Internet for research. Use a major search engine to look for credit cards with zero interest. You will find direct credit card companies with whom you can apply online as well as brokers and review sites where you can access a wide variety of different companies. It should be noted that applying for multiple cards can hurt your credit rating because the number of inquiries, or applications submitted, does have an effect on your score. So, read up on any credit card offers you are considering and compare the features and costs of your favorites before deciding on one.
Whether you apply for a credit card at a financial institution, over the telephone with a company representative or online the process is much the same. You will be asked to provide basic information about yourself including your name, address, telephone number, email address and social security number. If you have lived at your current address less than five years, you may be asked to provide your previous address.
You will also need to provide financial information. This information will include verification of your income from your job or business, your expenses, and in some cases your tax returns. Your income to debt ratio will be analyzed in addition to your credit rating. All of this information is used to determine whether or not you qualify for any no interest credit cards or even the lowest interest credit cards.
Even if you are unable to qualify for any no interest credit cards you may still be offered credit cards with low interest rates. If you demonstrate over a period of time that you are able to make your payments on time you may be offered a better deal in the future. Another thing you should know is that many credit cards, especially those for business owners, offer incentives like rewards points, cash back and frequent flyer miles.

Candidates for the 141st District State House seat laid out their positions during a public forum in a Bristol Township school auditorium Wednesday night.
State Rep. Tina Davis, a Democrat, stressed the numerous bills she�s written and co-sponsored since coming into office in 2011 and her work to bring businesses into the district, while Republican challenger Anthony Sposato, a small business owner and Neshaminy school board member, called for state government to cut waste and lower taxes for struggling taxpayers.
If elected, Sposato, of Middletown, said he would work hard for pension reform and to make House Bill 1776, which would eliminate property taxes with expanded state income and sales tax, �workable or find another way to get property tax relief for homeowners. They are the backbone of this state.�
Davis, of Bristol Township, said that if re-elected, jobs would be a priority. �I�ve always been about jobs,� she said, adding that she tries to connect constituents with jobs and lure business to the area. �As long as people are working they feel good about themselves and they can stay in their homes.�
The two candidates outlined their platforms during a 90-minute forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of Bucks County in the auditorium of the Benjamin Franklin School in Levittown, Bristol Township. Roughly 100 people gathered in the auditorium to watch the candidates, who are facing off to represent the 141st District, which represents most of Bristol Township and a sliver of Middletown.
The candidates answered two dozen questions that ranged from their thoughts on the Affordable Care Act to whether they supported reducing the size of the state Legislature, among other hot-button issues.
For instance, Sposato said he didn�t see any problem with Pennsylvania�s controversial voter ID law.
�Voting is probably the greatest privilege we have and I think we should guard that franchise,� he said.
Davis said she is not against IDs, but opposed enacting the voter ID law this year, saying that it disenfranchised women, minorities and the elderly.
�I�m not against IDs, but I was against IDs this year,� she said. �It�s just not a good law this year.�
A Commonwealth Court judge ruled against photo ID requirements for the upcoming presidential election.
Regarding vacant homes and foreclosures within the district, specifically in Bristol Township, Davis mentioned that she authored a bill that allows townships to take over properties when they are not being taken care of. Also, the state House passed a bill that makes it easier to blight properties.
�Everybody already knows that a vacant house in an area just brings the prices of houses down,� Davis said.
Sposato said the issue of vacant homes and foreclosures is related to jobs.
�We got to get people connected with jobs,� Sposato said. One way he suggested is rearranging the unemployment system so people get vocational aptitude tests to help find out what people are good at. �We have to get people working. Unless we do that, we�re going to see more vacant houses,� he said.
On education funding, Davis said she fought against Gov. Tom Corbett�s education budget cuts. Sposato said budget cuts are necessary in this economy.
Davis said Gov. Corbett�s support for tax breaks for Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling companies �shortchanges the whole state.�
Sposato said he would not support taxing �any business out of the state,� yet said �I don�t think it�s unfair to ask them to pay a little bit, though.�
Regarding the idea of privatizing the liquor sales in Pennsylvania, Sposato said that privatization would lead to less employee benefits and post-retirement spending by the state. Davis feared that doing such could risk thousands of good jobs across the state.
In his closing statement, Sposato said: �Do we want high taxes and government involved in every aspect of our life, or do we want low taxes and have the freedom and the ingenuity on our own to make our lives worth something? � I want to provide opportunity.�
Davis said that since coming into office she has done what she knows how to do: work hard.
She and her staff �try to do everything that we can for all of you, whether you�re young or poor or rich or old. We don�t have any barriers for any of that. � I will work for the next two years as hard as I have,� she said.
Both candidates opposed payday loans, stressed a need to assist veterans and bring businesses and good paying jobs to the 141st District.

text: Assessing digital media practices and performance for a leading sports league Implementing a set of targeted best practices more than doubles traffic to team web sites. Challenge A major sports league was experiencing wide variability in the performance of its digital properties—including uneven levels of traffic to the web sites of different teams and visibility on "earned media" platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. The league asked McKinsey to evaluate objectively each team's online practices and identify new opportunities, even for its best-performing team sites, by looking at other leading sports sites as well as the overall digital media landscape. Discovery In order to understand the challenge, the McKinsey team did two thorough evaluative performance reviews. The first assessed digital practices across the owned web sites, and the second identified best practices across social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. For the review of owned sites, each of the team sites were evaluated and scored on more than forty dimensions, broken down into the four areas of content, functionality, user experience, and monetization. The McKinsey team also scanned best practices from local competitors and other sports leagues as well as the wider digital media space. For the social network analysis, the team utilized NM Incite to create a social media dashboard to illustrate how teams might manage online reach such as mentions and number of authors. Within the dashboard, the team also looked at factors such as engagement, loyalty, key influencers, and how people associate with the brand through messaging. Separately, the McKinsey team leveraged proprietary iConsumer Clickstream analysis and other sources to create a database of comprehensive performance metrics that were comparable across league-owned sites and competitors. Based on findings from all the evaluations and the dashboards, the team developed a comprehensive scorecard and report for each of the thirty or more individual teams and their web sites, including the top improvement opportunities to pursue. Impact When the recommended changes were put in place, team web sites across the league saw increases of traffic between 100 to 200 percent. Half of that lift was attributed to unique visits across the sites.

So persnickety about management of time,
we need fresh research into a normal heart rate.
We need to determine if the earth is slowing down
and has incentive to rotate, when we happen to treat
days and nights alike.
A dear I asked for her mailing address for my handwritten letter.
She preferred an email, saying: "That would be instant!"
The verbena with which I had embossed
the periphery of the fragrant paper
and the hand-drawn smiley circumscribed by stars
must have felt inferior to the efficient e-mail text,
which I spruced up with a couple of emoticons.
The soul of the letter I couldn't replicate
as I set down regretting
the wastage of time over careful calligraphy.
And in the early morning, the grandma's portrait fell down,
as if she had her own complaint:
"I have been grappling with understanding RIP!"
(Published in The Tower Journal, Fall 2013)

Building for the future
When building a new city quarter the prime objective is of course to create a place that is worth living in. This is not only an opportunity to set new standards in terms of building quality and features, but also in terms of sustainability.
Sustainability has always been a priority for Frankonia. This was not due to blinkered ideology, but for purely practical reasons. When one looks at the energy consumption of a building alone, economy and environmental considerations are inseparable. In fact it is no surprise that economy and ecology have a common root: the ancient Greek word "oikos", which means, "house" or "household".To put it succinctly: sustainability is worth it, particularly in the long term.

If sex was like call of duty, then we would have a lot of shit talking ten year olds ruining it for the rest of us. I honestly think COD is more like sex than sex is like COD, but that's really just my opinion. However, Above Average made a pretty funny video about what it might be like if sex were a game and had a similar interface as the hugely popular Call of Duty games.
First off you have to pick your load out and I like how the female has a lot more options than the male, pretty accurate. The you have to pick a location, the bedroom in this case. After scoring a few points you'll probably want to call in a care package to help get you through this round. Finally you end up spent and frustrated because the game is over way too quickly haha. Anyways, I thought this was funny and definitely fitting since the new Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare just hit shelves and is doing so well.
So check out the video "If Sex Was Like Call of Duty" below and let me know your thoughts Nerd Nation. Do you think this looks like more fun than the actual game and if so I wonder how long it will be until we actually do see a game like this? Leave me your comments below, on Facebook or on Twitter…Enjoy!

Of all of baseball's many clichés, "you can never have too much pitching,'' which Mets GM Sandy Alderson, whom his biographer claims in one of the smartest men in the game, refuted today.
Alderson told reporters today in Port St. Lucie: "Notwithstanding many opinions to the contrary, I'm not convinced we need more pitching.''
There aren't many things I agree with Alderson on recently, and this certainly isn't one of them.''
Let's look at the facts:
- Every possible pitcher in the rotation and that includes Jacob deGrom early in his career has undergone some type of surgery or been placed on the disabled list.
- Noah Syndergaard missed nearly five months last year with a torn lat muscle, and only pitched two innings after coming back from the disabled list. He reported to spring training in good shape, but we don't know how he'll respond to a full camp much less a full season.
- Matt Harvey has worked only one injury-free season since 2012 and twice had season-ending surgery.
- Lefty Steven Matz has been to the DL four times since his major league debut in 2015.
- Zack Wheeler has started 17 games in three years.
- Seth Lugo is trying to rebound from a partial tear of his right ulnar collateral ligament.
- Robert Gsellman sustained a torn left hamstring last year and had trouble with his mechanics.
That's seven possible starters and doesn't include Rafael Montero, who has consistently labored with his command.
Jake Arrieta is the top free agent remaining, but we'd be spinning our wheels to think that will happen, and Alderson is already on record as saying the front office doesn't want to forfeit a compensatory draft pick and a half-million dollars of international bonus pool space.
So, given the current status of the Mets' pool of potential starters, how can Alderson responsibly say he doesn't see how they don't need more pitching.

Fasting or Starving?
This thought was born on a busy afternoon, while working with one of my team mates. We had gone far beyond a normal lunch time and seeing her lunchbox which she got from home, I really found it a good alternative rather than torturing myself with cafeteria food. And her being a good colleague of mine I obviously expected her to share food. But my dreams of getting delicious 'mom-made' food were killed when she declared that she can't share lunch as she was on fast 😦
Later that evening, me and my roommates were having fun at shopping and ended up eating sandwich at a roadside sandwich counter. One street kid came to us asking for food or money, and Tanu asked if he'll have sandwich. He agreed and we ordered one sandwich for him. I was really touched by this gesture. Now the other street kids saw this kid eating sandwich and we were under impression that they all will come to us asking for more. Instead they went to that kid and he happily shared each part of the sandwich! And then this thought struck me – these kids do fasting almost daily, and yet they do share their food without any hesitation!!
Why people fast? These days it can be due to two reasons – one, they want to have an indirect way for dieting or second they do this for some religious purpose.
Now if it is just for dieting, then one should follow a well prescribed healthy diet. I don't think food people take while they are on fast is healthy at all.
Say in case it is for religious purpose, then I have a serious question here – why any religion would demand fasts? Most of the time fasting is done to fulfill one's wishes, but indirectly isn't it a kind of emotional blackmail to God that please do 'this-this' for me coz I m not taking food for 'these' many days!! Now to my opinion for any religion God is believed to be a divine soul or a divine entity. And any divine entity will not want someone to get hurt for achieving his/her wishes. And if at all one gets something he/she wants by fasting then why do those street kids still starve? Why are they still on the streets although they do fasts daily!!
My intension is not to hurt anybody's sentiments here or not to force somebody to stop fasting, but just to convey that – God does not want you to hurt yourself to do something good for you. Hurting oneself makes nothing good for anybody either. Instead if someone at all wants to do fasting, then it should be done in a beneficial way. A suggestion here is: Why don't you give your one day's meals (which are not taken by you) to any starving kid who really needs some food?

I liked your post since it is questions the same practices that i used to deride, till some time back.
However, as much as i applaud your intent of sharing food not consumed while fasting with the hungry, I must point out that religions and rituals are all man made and not defined by Gods. God is a culmination of our thoughts for the noblest of deeds so that we may be able to visualize virutuosity and morality and respect its existence. In the same line of thought, 'fasting' as a way of religion is again deep-rooted with an intent to invoke the ethics of 'God'ness.
One of the noblest gestures man may conceive is 'Sacrifice'. Fasting is a form of sacrifice. You may perceive it as a trivial manifestation of the gesture, but subconsciously, you abstain from what you crave for. This practice shall then take form in other facets of your life, in matter relating to family, friends, strangers or the downtrodden, as mentioned in your experience.
I for one, can tell you,that being a hardcore, diehard 'non-faster', I do face a lot of resistence is refraining from what I desire.
Actions like fasting make us stronger mentally rather than physically, even literally!
I appreciate your thoughts on a construcive and philanthropic fasting, however, as a concept, fasting does hold water.
People following any ritual or custom blindly, however, need to be enlightened. The same applies for idol worship, religious fanticism, gender bias, caste bias, racism and the like.
–best regards,
Interesting thoughts and observations, yours as well as those of the anonymous person who left a comment.
I totally agree with you that it's pointless to fast in the name of God and eat unhealthy food in the process. I, however, like the idea of strict fasting (minus religion) because A) it is good for health B) it helps you learn to keep your desires in check (as mentioned by "anonymous") C) You can give that unused food/money to a needy person/family (I appreciate the last line of your article the most).

hey lins, pulkit thanks for ur comments. Agreed with the point that fasting done properly ( i would rather call it a strict diet) can to some extent help u to some extent.
Hey you kept your point very nicely.
You talked about religious fasting and you said its point less and kind of blackmailing to God but I don't agree with that. I believe that different people have different ways to show their faith in God, its not like if you do fast then your wish will come true or people stop fasting if their wish don't full filled. So I would say religious fasting is matter of choice.
I completely agree with what Lins said in his comment, people should not follow any rituals or customs blindly…..
well Mr. Anonymous, It would have been very nice of you if you write your name along with the comments 🙂
Nice thought. I agree with ur blog and comments by Lins.

Disneyland Resort Update: Topped Off
Disneyland Park, Anaheim, CA
Another week, another Disney update. We're at the end of August and very nearly the end of the summer, and while we all bake in this typical Southern California end-of-summer heatwave, lets check out what's been going on at the Happiest Place on Earth!
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
The biggest development over the past week has been the topping off of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Earlier last week, the steel that will mark the highest point in the new "Star Wars" Land was hoisted up and installed into place. As you may remember, the new uncharted outpost planet guests will be exploring features a fair amount of mountainous peaks, and this will be the highest of them all.
Aside from that, the Millennium Falcon and First Order buildings continue growing like a ravenous sarlacc--the Millennium Falcon building especially. Soon, we'll be able to board the sequel to Mission: Space as well. Hopefully, Gary Sinise will play a Resistance commander or something, now that he has been removed from the original Mission: Space safety video at EPCOT (may he never be forgotten).
Star Wars, Star Wars, S-S-S-Star Wars!
Welcome to the distant planet of Cranescant.
Here, a whole race of towering mechanical beings hoist things up and down using the force...
...of hydraulics and pulleys and stuff.
Starting on the south end of the First Order building, we see that the concrete building now has things on its roof!
In the last update, I wondered what those anchor bolts and concrete podiums were for.
The answer: giant mechanical equipment. I guess that checks out.
On the Disneyland Drive side of the First Order building, wall panels are starting to go up, beginning the process of enclosing the building.
Actually, panels have gone up on the Rivers of America side too, so the process had already begun a couple weeks ago at least.
This lattice work will provide a force field against potential intruders and proton torpedoes.
Aw crap, a giant opening...
The roof of this building is starting to become a mechanical mess.
But if you're a mechanical engineer or really love HVAC, then it's the roof for you!
Framing is progressing at the rooftop penthouses.
I'd love to tell you that these Star Wars penthouses will be for future sexy Force time.
But that would be a lie, and very disturbing.
The deck on this side is still waiting for its concrete to be poured over that welded wire mesh reinforcing.
Speaking of reinforcing, I'm reinforcing the likelihood that this will be an Imperial or First Order hangar.
It's a massive, cavernous space.
Kind of like the mouth of a certain guest writer of this update way back at the beginning of this year, but that's neither here nor there.
Peeking through the steel, we can see into what used to be an open pit.
Also a poor, solo guy applying fireproofing on beams on a Saturday.
There's speculation that the columned area within could house the loading area of the ride, which would take riders into the main hangar space as one of the first scenes. I have absolutely no idea whether this is completely off the mark or not, so take it with a grain of Dagobah swamp salt.
Lets peruse the site closer to ground level. This gives a better sense of scale at how grand everything is.
Some overhead track-like supports are going up. This isn't actual track, since the diagonal bracing gets in the way, but it's definitely going to be something dynamic in the ride.
Looking into the former pit.
They still haven't closed off this wall, but the rebar is there and ready for it!
Another angle at the overhead "track." And the fireproofing guy.
Lets zoom back out and move over to the Millennium Falcon building.
As I mentioned, the big news last week was the topping off of the highest part of the structure in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
This point will be a rock spire towering 130 feet in the air, or nearly twice as tall as Sleeping Beauty Castle!
It's Cars Land Cadillac Range all over again.
Only taller, with skinnier peaks.
All those steel beams sticking out will help support the secondary structure and mesh that will hold up the plastering to form the rockwork.
Meanwhile, the building itself continues to grow more complete.
A quick glimpse through an open gate, from the street. A security guard promptly Dikembe Mutombo'd me by coming out, finger wagging, telling me I could take photos. I'm pretty sure that's not the case for someone standing on the public right of way (the sidewalk/street), but out of respect, I didn't persist.
We've got a long way to go, but simultaneously not that long at all. But it's fun to follow along.
Rivers of America: Part 2 - Watercraft Boogaloo
A couple updates ago, we covered the reopening of the Disneyland Railroad. What we didn't have time to look through was the reopening of the Rivers of America attractions. Yes, although the new train route was major news, the return of the Mark Twain, S.S. Columbia, and Davy Crockett Canoes provided new opportunities to enjoy the redesigned backside of the Rivers of America and unique glimpses at the future Star Wars expansion. Lets go ride on a fantastic voyage around Tom Sawyer Island to see what's changed!
Don't be deceived by the lack of canoes here, the Davy Crockett Canoes are back in operation!
See? Here, guests can participate in Magic Kingdom exercise plan: DizFit.
The first rule of DizFit is that you have to tell all your friends about how you're in DizFit.
You also have to let them know about all the crazy workouts you do and how they're totally sculpting a bigger, better body.
Little known fact of DizFit is that if you fall off the wagon (or canoe, in this case), Jasper Beardly gives you a paddlin'.
DizFit members put their exercise to the max by chasing the Mark Twain.
The S.S. Columbia is also back on the waters of the Rivers of America.
It starts operation later and ends sooner than the Mark Twain, but it's sailing around Tom Sawyer Island!
DizFit members can partake in a grueling obstacle course that requires traversing the rigging across the ship while wearing two dozen turkey legs to weigh them down.
The Mark Twain is back too.
It sounds a celebratory toot every time a DizFit member completes 500 Churro Curls.
Lets take a cruise along the river, shall we?
It's so wild and naturalistic!
Guests on the top level of the Mark Twain can get glimpses of "Star Wars" Land.
Complete with Cranescant creatures.
Closer to ground level, and closer to our own galaxy, some Native America braves greet riverboat riders down the river.
Up top there is Chief Doling Whip.
Chief Doling Whip is also the originator of DizFit.
Legend says he once experienced a vision telling him to take the long and tiring journey from Journey into Imagination all the way to Superstar Limo.
...it was a time journey, really, and it tested his physical limits and inspired the tenets of DizFit.
Among said tenets, swimming upstream up waterfalls as a test to prove physical ability, just to join!
At the same time, DizFit members must retain mental acumen by reciting the rivers that these cascades of the Columbia Gorge are inspired by--the Mississippi, the Columbia, the Missouri, and the Rio Grande. All during the swim!
Those who make it to the top can quench their thirst with the official DizFit electrolyte replenisher: Mint Julep-ade.
Just beyond lies the new Disneyland Railroad trestle.
DizFit members can prove their mettle by outrunning a Disney steam engine via the Carolwood 100 yard dash.
It's a pretty scenic run for those crazy DizFitters who participate!
Such rugged and beautiful wilderness!
More waterfalls for advanced DizFit upstream swimmers.
It's really quite nice!
Over here, a beaver demonstrates the DizFit nutritional program.
This railroad trestle support wood is rich in fiber, proteins, and anti-oxidants while low in fat and pesky carbohydrates.
Wood you believe that the beaver is a DizFitter himself? Gnaw doubt about it, he has gotten into dam good shape!
The bridge, on the other hand, might want to have some OSHA inspections.
On the Tom Sawyer side of things, the old "burning cabin" is now Mike Fink's little retreat. A nice nod to the old keelboats that once sailed the Rivers of America.
Up ahead is the official DizFit shaman.
He tells the story of how the first DizFit natives learned how to work the glute.
These days, DizFitters will do 600 Laughing Place Lunges to keep their glutes in shape.
Up above, an eagle serves up food to her young.
Perched in perfect balance at the edge of the nest, the eagle demonstrates the core control that DizFitters should aspire to.
past this, we encounter an entire village of native DizFitters.
They gather to compare workout tips, diets, and how to push themselves to more and more intense Bread Bowl Belays and Pizza Port Push-Ups.
Inside their custom sauna tents, DizFitters can lose additional weight through sweat and tears and more sweat.
Additionally, those DizFitters with nagging injuries can rest and recover with their Grey Stuff Power Shakes.
Everyday, the Disneyland Railroad brings in new DizFitters eager to join the craze.
Most of them dream of eventually being able to scale the great barriers and make it over to "Star Wars" Land beyond. They see the wall panels going up on the First Order ride and dream of being the first to battle on behalf of the DizFit Resistance.
They come from far away lands.
Lands like turn-of-the-century America, and the future.
But only a few will ever attain sufficient DizFit status to be welcome into the village.
One last glance at the DizFit commune area...
As we continue along, we spot moose along Tom Sawyer Island, perfect for weight lifting, as DizFitters are apt to do.
A wildcat along the river provides the perfect DizFit running companion. He motivates by trailing DizFitters with the constant threat of mauling.
The DizFit pull-up chains are particularly torturous.
But hey, if you nest in the system and persevere, you too can become a master DizFit member!
Miscellaneous: The Other One(s)
Finally, we've got Splitsville progress and a new Starbucks "You Are Here" mug available at Market House inside Disneyland. The mugs alternate being in and out of stock, but the past week has seen more regular availability after the initial rush has died off.
With construction workers on site on weekends as well as the week, the Splitsville building is coming along pretty swiftly now.
There's no good way to spin this, though, they're still behind.
At this rate, it's unclear if they'll finish before Turkey Day or not.
Walls are going up quickly, seemingly in split seconds.
Just beyond the canopy, parts of the escalator have arrived. They're waiting for the other parts to roll in.
Splitsville will have more than just bowling. It'll be a restaurant and bar too.
The canopy here will frame the entrance nicely.
We'll be able to flush out how well they can catch up to schedule in the upcoming couple of months.
If this venue can make its original schedule, they'll strike these construction walls down by the end of the year, though.
We shall see...
Also, the new Disneyland You Are Here mugs are positively adorable. They're more like Fantasyland You Are Here, but they're certainly lovely.
In general Resort news, Disney also announced a nighttime Halloween overlay to the Guardians of the Galaxy attraction at Disney California Adventure. Named Guardians of the Galaxy: Monsters After Dark, the spooky alternate will see Rocket and friends go back into the Collector's Fortress to save Groot, who was unintentionally left inside, because apparently, the Guardians are kind of dicks. The attraction runs after dark at DCA and is part of a push to move a lot of popular Disneyland content over to its neighboring park to balance out the eventual crowds that will flood the original Magic Kingdom once Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opens. In the meantime, this year, Mickey's Halloween Time will touch California Adventure with Halloween decorations in Cars Land, a Nightmare Before Christmas-inspired Halloween atmosphere set onto Buena Vista Street, as well as other goodies.
New park ambiances are always a good thing, especially since Disneyland's Halloween decorations had gotten stale, so it's great to see the Resort's seasonal events freshened up! Of course, traditional Halloween favorites like Space Mountain: Goats--I mean Ghost Galaxy and the Haunted Mansion Holiday return to Disneyland Park.
We'll close things off with a few more follow-up photos of the recently unveiled area between Frontierland and the future Star Wars expansion, showcasing the ambiance under sunnier lighting conditions than last time!
That does it from the Disneyland Resort this week. Tomorrow marks the start of September, and before you know it, Halloween season will be upon us again! Yes, our favorite and spoopiest time of the year. Are you excited? You should be.
Boo bah!!

Philosophical views of Maximus the Greek and their relation with the hesychast gnoseology
Abstract.The object of this research is the philosophy of Maximus the Greek (Michael Trivolis), the prominent thinker, interpreter, and religious-cultural figure of Russia of the XVI century. Based on the analysis of his works of various genres, styles and themes, the author comprised a single and cohesive image of his philosophical views. Examining the philosopher's ideas and way of thinking is conducted in the context of the religious-cultural situation of the era, as well as peculiarities of his personality and public activity. The author applies the historical-analytical and phenomenological methods, relying on the method of historical-philosophical reconstruction. In the course of analysis of the texts of Maximus the Greek, was formulated his comprehension of philosophy and external sciences, which allowed referring to his gnoseology that includes two different ways of cognition. The author was able to establish the fundamental link between his philosophy and the tradition of Byzantine-Athonite hesychasm, within which were developing the main intentions of his works. The article analyzes the teaching of Maximus the Greek on the mind and soul that traces its origin in ancient philosophy, but saturated with the Christian content. The author also examines the thinker's concept regarding human autocracy and free will.

Nielsen released the first results after its modified "Total Internet Audience" metric, which looks to aggregate usage at home, work and elsewhere.
In terms of unique visitors in July, Google beat Facebook, with 172.5 million and 158.9 million, respectively. Yahoo was on the third with 148.6 million, while MSN/Windows/Bing followed at 131.1 million. YouTube came in the fifth with 126 million, Media Post reported.
Facebook, however, topped other sites in time spent per person, with an average of five hours and 19 minutes. The figure is actually under-reported, said Nielsen, due to an alteration in data gathering.
AOL Media Network came next at two hours and 18 minutes, with Yahoo followed at two hours and 14 minutes. Users of Google sites spent an hour and a half on average, while YouTube users averaged one hour and 39 minutes.
According to Nielsen, the "Total Internet Audience" metric includes in site usage on digital platforms such as mobile devices and tablets, Media Post reported.

According to this time line, the Plans for the stadium begane in 1919, and was constructed by 1928, but was first opened on october 9th 1924. It was built of concrete faced with granite textured cash stone. The general design followed very similar architecture as in the Columbian Exposition. It followed ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The classic feature was the Doric colonmades that rose 100 feet above the playing field. The Chicago Bears started using the field in 1971. Then in 2002 they decided to remodel the stadium. The city of chicago, the Chicago Park District and an innovative architect and his firm created a world class state of the art stadium while leaving the famous columns.
Today Soldier Field stands in Chicago as an incredible display of innovative architecture. It will most likely be used and shown off to the world in the Olympic Games if they were brought to Chicago. Therefore, This field displays Chicago's drive to continue to become a elite Global City.
