The Goods: Canucks stamp out Flamesby Derek Jory / Vancouver Canucks
Don't look now, the Vancouver Canucks are going streaking again.
The Canucks won their second straight game Saturday night at Rogers Arena taking out the Calgary Flames 5-2 to increase their lead atop the Northwest Division to four points.
Alex Burrows and Dan Hamhuis connected for the game's first goal, scored a mere 34 seconds into the first period and, despite a few hiccups, the Canucks cruised the rest of the way.
Dale Weise made it a 2-0 lead 6:57 into the game before the Flames answered back. Calgary outplayed Vancouver for the majority of the frame, yet trailed 2-1 through 20 minutes.
The Canucks got the bounces they needed and Burrows made it 3-1 in the second on just Vancouver's 11th shot; from there Alex Edler netted a power play goal and Henrik Sedin scored a shorthanded empty net goal late to seal the deal.
Cory Schneider was fantastic in his 10th consecutive start making 36 saves, including 13 in the third period.
The Canucks face the Phoenix Coyotes Monday night before beginning a five-game road trip.

A familial lich does not have a physical body or standard phylactery. Instead, it possesses its own kin.
In addition to the changes for the lich template, make the following adjustments to the base creature.
Defensive Abilities: A familial lich gains DR 10/good instead of DR 15/bludgeoning and magic, and loses its rejuvenation ability, but gains an amount of spell resistance equal to 11 + its CR, and the following defensive ability.
Familial Possession (Su)
When a familial lich is destroyed, its spirit departs its body and seeks out the lich's nearest living relative, a process that takes 1d10 days. The familial lich then tries to possess the relative, as per greater possession (the caster level is equal to the familial lich's HD, and the save DC is Charisma-based). If the relative succeeds at her save, she becomes permanently immune to this ability, and the familial lich must spend another 1d10 days searching for the next-nearest living relative, repeating the process until it succeeds or until no such relatives remain and it is destroyed instead.
If the relative fails her saving throw, the familial lich's spirit takes root in her body. The familial lich's consciousness remains within the relative even after the greater possession effect ends, and it is able to share her senses. It can use greater possession on her once per day thereafter. If the relative fails on three consecutive saving throws to resist, the familial lich's spirit takes over, and she physically and mentally transforms into the familial lich permanently. Even if the relative continues succeeding, it is impossible to remove a familial lich without extremely powerful magic once it has taken root.
Only lineal ancestors or descendants of the familial lich, as well as siblings, are eligible targets for possession (aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and so forth are immune).

Speaking after Aegis unveiled a first-half pre-tax profits rise of 41% in its results today (25 August), Buhlmann said acquisitions were "quite a strong focus" for the business and Aegis was considering "between 50 and 60 acquisitions on a global basis at this moment in time".
In July, Aegis Group confirmed it was to sell Synovate to Ipsos for £525m. Today, Aegis said it was planning to return £200m to shareholders as part of a special dividend, but would look to use the remaining £325m for acquisitions.
So far this year, it has spent more that £65m on 11 acquisitions, and today announced it was buying Master Ad, an out-of-home agency in Russia.
Despite the worsening economic picture, Buhlmann said he was confident Aegis would continue to build momentum. He said: "If you compare to 2008: in 2008 things had already turned very much for the worse [at this point in the year].
"We don't have anything like that type of situation despite the changes in the global market. At the moment we're not hearing anything specifically negative. I think they're holding their nerve as best we can tell."
In a word of warning to the UK, one change Buhlmann highlighted was the fact that major clients were now looking to move advertising budgets from "older world markets" to regions, such as China, that are growing strongly.
Buhlmann said: "Where you have a market like China, where the economy is growing well at a relatively low media cost, clients are moving money from some of the older world markets into the newer world markets, based on opportunity.
"It's one area where they can continue to grow market share. It's started in the last 12 to 18 months mainly. The leading contenders of the top 100 advertisers are now making those types of decisions.
"Previously to the recession, they never really did. It was all about what they needed to do on a market-by-market basis. Now we're seeing more of that. It's across the piece in terms of those leading advertisers, rather than in one particular sector."

CHICAGO – (November 24, 2014) – Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG), the membership association that unites the world's hospitality companies and technology innovators to solve industry challenges, has introduced a new and improved innovation competition, building on its popular Most Innovative Hospitality Technology award. Applications for this year's competition are now being accepted.
The new TechOvation Award will be more competitive, offer greater visibility, provide expanded PR opportunities and feature live audience participation at HTNG's 2015 North American Conference in February.
In a qualifying round, entrants will make a five-minute "elevator pitch" before a live audience of conference attendees and investors. A judging panel of senior hospitality IT executives will select three finalists to repeat their presentations in the general session on the next day, where the full audience will pick the winners in a real-time poll.
"We are thrilled to offer a more engaging competition this year," said Douglas Rice, Executive Vice President & CEO of HTNG. "The changes we've made for TechOvation will provide attendees with an overview of the latest hospitality technology innovations, and the live voting process will add another element of excitement."
Industry icon and angel investor Dave Berkus will emcee the sessions. In regard to his role, Dave Berkus said, "The pace of technology change is increasing, and the hotel industry must continually be challenged to provide technology leadership in areas that enhance guest service, increase revenues or decrease costs. The HTNG TechOvation Award is a chance to highlight and encourage innovation that is relevant to both hotel guests and owners."
In addition to receiving a trophy during the live ceremony at the conference, winning technologies will be featured in articles by media sponsor Hotel Business magazine, announced in an HTNG press release and promoted through HTNG's website.

North India Printers Association (NIPA) is a group of printers' associations from the northern states of India viz. Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Chandigarh. The main object of NIPA is to promote, protect and develop printing industry of the region under the able and dedicated leadership of its president Mr. Vijay Kumar Chopra, Editor Hind Samachar Ltd., Jalandhar.
At NIPA we are concerned to educate the members and other printers of the region regarding new inventions and developments in the print world. The members are always encouraged to visit various national and international exhibitions to update their knowledge. For this purpose, Group tours at no profit no loss basis are being organized for the benefit of the members. To update and to quench the thrust of the knowledge of the members and other printers of the region, NIPA always remained in front foot at the international arena also, by organizing meetings with the people in print at international level. The rapid progress in the printing industry of the region is the result of the efforts made by NIPA.
To educate the existing workforce regarding the latest developments of the trade and to produce efficient managers and supervisors now as a major project NIPA is planning to establish a Printing Institute cum Testing Lab at Ludhiana in collaboration with one of the leading printing university/college of the world.
At NIPA our mission is to work as a partner of your success, because NIPA works as a bridge between manufacturers/suppliers and the user industry i.e. printing and packaging units of the region. With the collaboration of the manufacturers we have been organizing various awareness and technical seminars to update the knowledge of the user industry and at the same time to highlight their requirements and expectations from the manufacturing industry. NIPA is the ideal source for the manufacturers and suppliers to highlight their achievements showcase their products in the entire northern region of India. The success of various seminars, governing council and general body meetings of AIFMP, printing material and machinery exhibition etc. in the recent past is a testimony to the above facts.
NIPA today is internationally known, as a most active and determined printers body of the north India. We invite manufacturers and suppliers to join hands with us to develop this technology in the less known and underdeveloped areas of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, which in other terms will be a matter of mutual benefit for user and supplier industry. Due to liberal laws and some relaxations of the central and state governments there is a great scope and potential for new units in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, it is where NIPA can work as 'Partner in your progress' to highlight your products and equipments not only in this area but in entire northern region.

Your Rights and Responsibilities as a Dog Owner
Whether you've had a run-in with an aggressive dog or sometimes worry that your own dog might start something, you should understand the legalities.
According to the Ontario Dog Owner's Liability Act, a dog owner is liable for damages that result from their dog biting or attacking a person or another dog. That means that if your dog is injured, you have the right to demand that the dog owner pay the vet bills. And vice versa. You should also be aware of our Municipal by-laws regarding dogs. The Township can levy a $500 fine against a dog owner for a "potentially dangerous dog not under the control of an adult."
If you're worried about your liability, you might want to look into your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy, which may contain personal liability coverage that protects you from having to pay damages out of pocket for dog injury claims. Your policy might also have medical payments coverage, which gives you further protection if your dog bites or injures a person. Finally, your insurance policy likely has property damage coverage. It's a good idea to check with your insurance company to make sure you're covered, just in case.
Municipal By-laws
The Dog Control By-law covers all matters related to dog ownership in the Township of Centre Wellington, including:
- The licensing and registration of dogs
- The rules about picking up after your dog
- The two-dog limit on dog ownership
- The definition of a "dog running at large" and the role of the Animal Control officer in dealing with stray dogs
- A full listing of the fines that can be levied against a dog owner for contravention of the Bylaw (see Highlights of Fines below).
Highlights of Fines
Please refer to the official Dog Control By-law or a full listing.
Reference in By-law
|Potentially dangerous dog not under the effective control of an adult
Section 4.2
|Not securely attaching a muzzle to a potentially dangerous dog
Section 4.3
|Dog not registered and licensed
Section 6.1
|Dog tag not securely fixed on dog
Section 6.6
|Using a dog tag for a dog other than the dog for which the tag was issued
Section 6.8
|Not disposing of dog waste (includes the Fergus Dog Park)
Section 8
|Keeping more than two dogs per household
Section 9.1
Pit Bull Ban
Amendments to the Dog Owner's Liability Act concerning restrictions on pit bulls came into effect on August 29, 2005. The amendments prohibit anyone from owning, breeding, transferring, importing, fighting or abandoning pit bulls. The definition of a pit bull includes pit bull terrier, staffordshire bull terrier, american pit bull terrier or a dog that shares the physical characteristics with any of them.
If you currently own a pit bull, you can keep your dog provided you can prove that the dog was in Ontario prior to August 29, 2005 or born within 90 days of that date. The best way to ensure proof of ownership is to register your dog with the Township of Centre Wellington. The regulations stipulate that restricted pit bulls must be spayed or neutered and leashed and muzzled in public. The onus to prove that a dog is not a pit bull lies with the owner of the dog.
To register your pitbull, contact the Clerk's Department at 519-846-9691, ext 243.

A champagne-colored brilliant-cut 0.85 carat Oregon Sunstone, mined by the artist and installed to a very unique botryoidal mineral on crystal-bearing volcanic stone collected along a fault scarp in the Klamath basin.
Oregon Sunstone is a precious Feldspar colored by elemental copper, often containing shiny crystals of that warm metal of good luck and good health.
Botryoidal minerals are deposited by water carrying minerals through stone. This magical process creates a soothing pattern that reflects the power of possibility, seeing the un-seen, and making solid what appeared inconsequential.
The gemstone in this piece is ORIGIN CERTIFIED.

Because what the D.C. food scene needs is another burger joint, Wahlburgers, a chain of restaurants started by actors Mark and Donnie Wahlberg and their brother, Paul Wahlberg, announced a second restaurant will be opening next year.
The company will open up a burger location next to the Ballston Common shopping mall in the Ballston Point building. Their doors are expected to open in early 2017.
This is the second restaurant for the brothers in the area. A Wahlburgers restaurant is expected to open in Dupont Circle later this year.
Paul Wahlberg, the chef in the family, puts casual comfort food on the menu in hopes of creating a "comfortable, friendly restaurant that would appeal to every generation." Currently, there are locations in six states in the U.S. and two locations in Toronto, Canada.
A television program, "Wahlburgers," airing on A&E, shows the behind the scenes efforts of the brothers to bring their restaurant dream to life.

The last Thursday was the final critique and the last class. I feel really sad to face the fact that we are almost at the end of this MA course.
I am so glad that I came here. I've learned a lot from all the tutors, classmates and all the books that I saw in the studio. And more than that I had a great time during this course!
We still have a month for the submission and two months for the graduation exhibition. Everybody's works are amazing so I am very much looking forward to the show. It will be amazing! But at the same time, I know that is going to be the real end...
Let's not think about that and keep working hard!
I gave myself a day off and went to Saffron Walden yesterday. After concentrating on creating final images for a few months, it was nice to go back to observation drawing.

Value Set
Getting this set on sale was a good value. The grinder is very loud and some of the parts feel flimsy and cheep. The design an ease if nice is nice and generally does a good job. The Rocket Appartamento has a good entry level price to an otherwise expensive world of quality machines. It seems to be brewing at a slightly lower than optimal temp even after a 30-45 minute warmup. When I got the machine, one of the inner copper panels was shifted so I had to open up the machine and adjust and noticed these were not installed with car or QA'd very good. After a few days of use, I had to open it back up to adjust the build temp as well. It was in the right range, but after using it a few times, it never got to the right pressure until after an adjustment was made. The only cheap part on it is the plastic cup rail.Loading...
Reply from Cliff & Pebble
Thank you so much for your honest review! The one thing the Appartamento doesn't have is PID so yes, adjusting temps needs to be done manually. The factory setting doesn't seem to be ideal so we've contacted Rocket about changing it. Please let us know if you have any further questions!

Diverse Institutions Collaborate on Suffragist-themed Project
With this historic election season, it was fitting that MCLA met with a university from across the nation to collaborate on a project centered on the time period and activities of men and women involved in the Suffragist movement.
The collaboration, made possible by a grant from the Hardman Initiative Fund, features the artwork of students and faculty from MCLA and Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah. Last month, five faculty and eight students from BYU joined their MCLA peers in the Berkshires for nearly a week to work together on the project.
Their intensive exploration of the Suffragist movement took them to the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum in Adams, and included a visit to the Crane Paper Mill in Dalton (right), where they learned how to produce cotton paper as part of their study of book arts.
Participants also discussed the 19th Amendment, and what has changed – or not changed – for women since 1917.
The opportunity to collaborate, converse and create with others from a different part of the country was exciting, as well as timely, since the project – which involved looking at the Suffragist movement and the impact of Susan B. Anthony – happened during this Presidential Election year, according to Melanie Mowinski, associate professor of visual art at MCLA.
"I was impressed with how engaged and devoted the students were," Mowinski said. "They really dug into the project and were engaged from start to finish, in spite of a very rigorous schedule."
The results of their creative exchange are on display in "BEE IN HER BONNET: Works in Progress," in the exPRESS gallery, 49 Main St. in North Adams, through Sunday, Nov. 20.
The show includes pressure prints that are paired with a descriptive word – each of which conveys creator's relationship to clothing and how clothing functioned both symbolically and instrumentally during the Suffragist era.
Soon, the pressure prints will be made into two books – one for MCLA and the other for BYU – as well as two sets of traveling prints for each group of artists to exhibit at their discretion.
Other works include the products of a creative process (pictured at top) called "Plunder books," in which participants contributed assorted items from which each created a book-like object.
Joshua Ostraff, MCLA assistant professor of art, explained, "Our books were quick and intuitive based responses to the role clothing played in the Suffrage movement."
The piece Ostraff created helped him to generate ideas for a book he's in the process of making for a print exchange between the participants. Throughout November, they are creating additional handmade paper and books that explore the Suffragist era and the activities of those involved in the movement.
Exhibition copies, Ostraff said, will be exhibited both in Massachusetts and Utah, including at BYU and MCLA galleries, and at other institutions.

An elderly couple have been targeted by fake NI Water staff prompting a police warning to be vigilant.
Police said two men pretending to be from NI Water called at the home of the elderly couple in Gilford Co Armagh at around 11.30am this morning.
They claimed to be from NI Water and both were wearing navy clothing.
"One was slim build, 5"10, with a hearing aid in his left ear," said the PSNI Craigavon on their Facebook page.
"One male distracted the male occupant whilst the second went upstairs.
"That male was then disturbed when the female occupant came home."
The PSNI said that while NI Water had staff in that area today, these men were not their workers.
"If anyone has someone from any utility company come to your door, check their ID. Take as much time as you like doing so too.
"If you have elderly neighbours, go and tell them too as they probably won't be reading this.

The great environmental writer and founder of 350.org, Bill McKibben, is the guest blogger.
Nicholas Stern is the most important climate economist in the world. After a stint as chief economist at the World Bank, he was asked by the government in his native Britain to conduct the most thorough review of the economics of global warming yet undertaken.
Released in October of 2006, the Stern Review drew praise from many of his brethren in the field — and it also drew gasps of shock and horror from anyone who bothered to read it. It laid out, quite clearly, the cost of doing too little or moving too late on climate change: economic damage that would be greater than WWI, WWII, and the Great Depression combined. In April, he published a powerful popular account of his work, Blueprint for a Safer Planet, and he's been one of the leading forces preparing for the Copenhagen meeting.
So that's the background. Today in Berlin, a reporter from one of the city's papers, Daniel Boese, asked him about the 350 target — which goes well beyond the numbers he was using in his book even in April.It's a sign of how quickly the tide is shifting, and also of Stern's intellectual integrity, that he said: "I think it's a very sensible long-term target." He went on to explain: "People have to be aware that is a truly long-term target. We have already passed 350ppm, we are at 390 ppm of Co2 and at 435 ppm of Co2-equivalents right now. It is most important to stop the increase of flows of emissions short term and then start the decline of flows of annual emissions and get them down to levels which will move concentrations of CO2 back down towards 350ppm."
Stern is right, of course — even if we do everything right at Copenhagen, we won't be back at 350 soon. But unless we do everything right we'll be back at 350 never ever. His call will help stiffen the push for real measures at the conference.
And in case you're keeping score, here's where we are at the moment. The world's foremost climatologist, James Hansen, first calculated this number with his NASA team. The world's foremost climate politician, Al Gore, endorsed it nine months ago. The UN's chief climate scientist, and with Gore the only other man to win a Nobel for work on climate, India's Rajendra Pachauri, endorsed it late last month. And today the world's foremost climate economist.
But here's the thing: none of this would have happened if you hadn't endorsed it — if you hadn't worked to build the largest movement about climate change ever. Onward!

JR: For the science behind 350, see "Stabilize at 350 ppm or risk ice-free planet, warn NASA, Yale, Sheffield, Versailles, Boston et al." Since the science is preliminary and it is not not yet politically possible to get to 450 ppm, let alone 350, my basic view, as expressed in that post, is Let's start working now toward stabilizing below 450 ppm, while climate scientists figure out if in fact we need to ultimately get below 350. Either way, this is what needs to be done technology-wise: "How the world can (and will) stabilize at 350 to 450 ppm: The full global warming solution (updated)." The difference between the two targets is that for 450 ppm, you need to do the 12–14 wedges in four decades. For 350 ppm, you (roughly) need 8 wedges in about two decades plus another 10 wedges over the next three decades (and then have the world go carbon negative as soon as possible after that), which requires a global WWII-style and WWII-scale strategy (see "An open letter to James Hansen on the real truth about stabilizing at 350 ppm").

No matter what your temperature threshold, this guide to the region's spicy goodness will keep you from getting burned.
Don't be fooled by the laid-back attitudes found in many of the Caribbean's sleepy beach towns -- it's a competitive place. From rum to cricket to carnival costumes, each country claims superiority in a variety of areas.
Island-to-island rivalry for the Caribbean's best hot sauce is similarly heated, and the diversity of the condiment, often called "pepper sauce", ranges from a chutney-like mash to smooth, liquid fire, depending on each island's tastes and traditions.
But no matter what your temperature threshold, this guide to the region's spicy goodness will keep you from getting burned.
Like the Oaxaca region in Mexico or Italy's mortadella mecca Emilia Romagna, the islands of Trinidad and Tobago arguably hold the Caribbean's gastronomic grail. Culinary claims to fame include six consecutive wins at the annual Taste of the Caribbean cooking competition, plus the islands are home to the indigenous moruga scorpion pepper, named the world's hottest by New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute in 2012.
The islands' vinegar-driven, mustard-spiked pepper sauce -- made with incendiary local peppers like moruga red, bejeucal, West Indies red and the superlative moruga scorpion – pairs perfectly with hearty island specialties like bake and shark, a sandwich that serves up deep-fried shark filets on a freshly baked round roll, or callaloo, a stew of leafy greens and coconut milk. Commercial brand Matouk's is available at grocery stores across the islands, but in general, locals' home-bottled pepper sauces reign supreme. Some of Trinidad's hottest home brews can be found at the roving monthly culinary market UpMarket, or the weekly farmers' markets in the Trinidadian towns of Port of Spain and Rousillac.
St Kitts and Nevis, another top Caribbean culinary destination, produces what might be the region's best commercial brand: Mrs Greaux Hot Pepper Sauce. Only 2,500 bottles of the addictive blend of local West Indian red peppers and curry leaves are produced each year, so savvy shoppers often grab several at Nevis's outdoor City Market, near the ferry dock in the capital Charlestown, or at grocery stores across both islands.
In Jamaica, hot sauces need little more than garlic, vinegar and native scotch bonnet peppers to achieve their heady, heated tang and vibrant red, orange or green hue. Look for the delicious fiery blends in everything from mason jars to repurposed water bottles at the recently expanded Negril Farmer's Market, now selling products from 35 nearby farms.
Pepper sauces in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) are typically spiked with mustard, giving them a sharp bite and a trademark yellow colour. And on Tortola, the largest island in the BVI, the best can be found at the spice shop Sunny Caribee in the capital city of Road Town. Erica's, a commercial brand sold at grocery stores throughout St Vincent and the Grenadines, gets its red-orange tint and bright, citrusy flavour from locally grown habaneros. And on St Croix, beloved brand Miss Anna's is sold in five varieties, from Classic Caribbean to Garlic Habanero, in almost every island convenience store. All Miss Anna's bottles use West Indian curry leaves for a smoky kick.
A good rule of thumb on any island though, is to buy local. Look for bespoke blends in old mayonnaise jars or, better still, ones labelled as someone's Auntie's secret recipe. Rivalries aside, when it comes to pepper sauce, everyone is family.

High Performance Flow Modeling of Spacecraft and Atmospheric Vehicles Re-entry vehicles designed for space exploration are usually equipped with thermal protection systems (TPS) made of ablative material which is one of the key components of their design. Through the use of ablators the energy absorbed by the removal of material from the surface is not used to heat the TPS, thus keeping the vehicle at a relatively "cold" temperature. It is imperative to account for the gases produced by ablation processes; creating the need for an appropriate gas flow chemistry model to be included in the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculations in order to properly model and predict the aerothermal environment of the vehicle. Models have been proposed in the past but important reactions were not included, and some of the reaction rates were inappropriate or simply outdated due to challenges in flow modeling features such as internal energy relaxation and chemical reactions. Because ablation coupling is becoming an increasingly important research topic, the development of an accurate, yet usable, chemistry model and its integration to an efficient CFD code is of great importance that can impact the commercial CFD market that is around $1B in size.
Coupled CFD Solver and Modeling of Flow, Surface Chemistry, and Material Response for High Speed Atmospheric Vehicles A multi-dimensional, parallel CFD code (LeMANS) for the simulation of weakly ionized hypersonic flows in thermo-chemical non-equilibrium has been developed by the researchers at the Dept. of Aerospace Engineering of the University of Michigan. It solves the Navier-Stokes equations with finite rate chemistry that uses the developed carbon-phenolic-air chemistry model and with internal energy relaxation on an unstructured mesh while enabling the use of a blowing boundary condition to also account for the ablating TPS. Because of the way LeMANS has been parallelized, the code remains efficient, robust and fast, even with the increased number of equations to solve. As a test case, the Stardust vehicle re-entry at 71 km CFD results demonstrated the efficiency of the significantly reduced model compared to equilibrium radiative boundary conditions. The proposed code is modular with components for flow, surface and material coupling that allows great flexibility in simulating different gases, and different geometries for analyzing the flow of gases under high temperature conditions.
Applications • analysis of very high speed flow of vehicles operating in our atmosphere • analysis of gas flow around spacecraft entering planetary atmospheres • analysis of gas flow of rockets and their plumes
Advantages • flexible, modular software with many options Advantages over current options • developed to run on multi-processor computer architectures

What is data integration?
Data integration is the process of combining data from many different sources into an application. You need to deliver the right data in the right format at the right timeframe to fuel great analytics and business processes.
A data integration project usually involves the following steps:
Quality is a relative and never-ending judgment, one that needs to be defined by the business (or business unit) that's consuming the data. An essential element of holistic data governance, trustworthy data serves critical business needs across the enterprise—from legal to finance to marketing and beyond.
Driving data quality requires a repeatable process that includes:
Informatica has been positioned as a leader on the Gartner Data Integration Tools Magic Quadrant for 10 consecutive years.
Experts at Bloor Research estimate up to 80% of a data scientist's time is spent preparing the data rather than analyzing it.
How you benefit from data integration
You've learned from bitter experience that if you're not managing your data, the data will overpower your business. But you wouldn't write your own database or code an enterprise ERP system in your IT shop. Likewise, you shouldn't hand-code your data integration projects. You need a proven, automated, and agile data integration solution that lets you combine or migrate data swiftly, painlessly, and cost effectively—one that gives you:
Why Informatica?
or more than 20 years, Informatica Data Integration has refined fragmented data—small or big, clean or dirty, complete or incomplete—into complete, trustworthy assets. Our approach offers:
Built on the Informatica Platform and our Integration Competency Model, Informatica data integration projects are five times faster and 50 percent more productive than hand-coded initiatives.
Our data integration transforms the value of your data—arguably now your most critical asset—faster, more effectively, in more situations, and for more needs, than any other solution.

We went to Jon's induction into Phi Theta Kappa yesterday. Phi Theta Kappa is an honor society for community colleges. I tried to take a couple pictures with my phone, but my phone has a delay and I kept getting his back. Jon is in the final two weeks of his Spring quarter, so he is busy with final projects.
The kids are in the final unit of this year's curriculum. We'll be finishing their school year in time for our church's Kidfest (VBS). The boys are still young enough to participate; Jon, the girls, and I are all volunteering.
I finished out my first semester back at college. I did pretty well. I have to take one class this summer in order to keep my graduation from being pushed back a year. As it stands now, I should graduate in the Spring of 2014.

What is it about snowflakes?
My daughters – now 16 and 19 – are Millennials. Many of their generation have a clear sense of what's wrong and right and that's spread across society, which is why the #metoo took off. I admire the way that they are good at speaking out when they see injustice. Unfairly that's made other groups dub them the snowflake generation, who call out poor behaviour rather than putting up with stuff (or laughing it off). The press often mock this group, claiming that our mollycoddled-snowflakes melt under pressure, and need to toughen up.
The question is do young people in Britain have more pressure than preceding generations? Or are they simply better at sharing their emotions?
I'm not sure – so here's a poll to try and find out.

Case Study on Google
Case Study Google Inc.
This Business Report primarily addresses 4 questions asked on the Google Inc. case study.
Information is primarily obtained from the case study and from publicly available news reports and articles.
1. What were the key factors behind Google's early success?
A number of key factors contributed to Google's early success. Google had unassailable competitive advantage in the form of PageRank algorithm that can efficiently index web pages and delivers highly relevant searches to users. It avoided competing head to head with yahoo, etc by choosing not to diversify to portal positioning. Instead, Google focuses on developing its strategic assets (Makides, 1997) and licensing its search technologies to Yahoo and other 3rd party sites.
Operating under a duopoly market structure (Lewis, 1999) and under an expanding market, Google encountered less competitive resistance. Staying true to its competitive advantage and focusing on its search services, Google grew quickly.
Google was able to adopt a very competitive pricing strategy in paid listing and was offering a lower CPC and higher revenue split than its competitions. And by ensuring a higher click through rate, Google became the search engine of choice for both the paid-listers and users alike and was able to capture cross-side networks effect. (Eisenmann, 2006)
Google was able to translate its reach and pervasiveness of its search engine to paid listings revenue. Google's reach also enables it to avoid the traditional overheads required for advertizing to make itself and its services known.
Google's also seek out new market space (Kim, 1999) and the move to provide free unlimited e-mail web storage also greatly built its base of loyal customers and good-will.
Google's corporate values, corporate culture and service offering was well "fitted" for the industry. By fostering and encouraging a culture of innovation, Google was able to reap the benefits of new monetizing new ideas that came out.
2. Should Google pay AOL more than 100% of the revenue generated from AOL searches? How did Microsoft's maximum affordable bid for AOL's search traffic compare with Google's?
a.Given that Google is already sharing 85% to 90% of the ad-revenue collected with AOL the question of paying more than 100% of the revenue generated does not seemed like a significant one especially in the light of Google paying way over the odds for 5% of AOL shares.
While the one-off decision by Google to pay a high premium for AOL's share can be justified from the perspective of a defensive play to ward off a possible entry by Microsoft a very dangerous competitor with deep pockets, entering a contract to pay over 100% of the ad-revenue is not justifiable even though there may be justifications with regards to cross-subsiding and the risk of higher acquisition/conversion cost.
Paying more than 100% may not meant much in term dollars but the resultant loss of bargaining leverage may be too high a price to pay.
b.With hindsight, given that Microsoft bid failed it could be speculated that the bid is inferior to Google's. If so, did Microsoft misread the potential of the AOL deal to make serious in-roads into the search market? Google on the hand saw the need to snuff out Microsoft's foray into its lucrative market.
3. In addition to enhancing its core search business, should Google diversify into new arena? Which would you recommend: 1) building a full pledged portal like yahoo's 2) targeting Microsoft's desktop hegemony 3) becoming e-commerce intermediary like e-Bay?
It's interesting that while Schmidt was deflecting the question that Google might create its own web-based operating system, he added that "there was a great deal of strategic leverage for Google in building an ecosystem around content and...

The world of the future that Norman Jewison envisions in "Rollerball" doesn't look much different from the one we know today. At first, anyway. Then we begin to read the images more carefully. Interior decorators favor a lot of white on white, an indication that soot, grime and your ordinary heel marks are things of the past. All women grow up to look like fashion models and then, miraculously, they don't grow another inch.People spend their leisure time in front of television sets that have four screens—one big screen with three smaller ones at the top—instead of today's functional single screen.What have Mr. Jewison, his screenwriter and his production designers wrought?Quite simply, a perfect world, a world of the not-too-distant future in which, after some vaguely remembered "corporate wars," society is governed by a conglomerate of city-state industries. Illness, poverty, hunger, racial animosities, even (you must suppose) nail-biting have been eliminated.More important, war is no longer known. In its place the corporations sponsor a continuous world series of a sport called Rollerball, which looks like a combination of the kind of roller skating you see in a roller derby, professional wrestling and pinball, and it's supposedly so brutal, vicious and exciting that it works off all aggressions and keeps between two and three billion people glued each week to their multivision TV screens.All science-fiction can be roughly divided into two types of nightmares. In the first the world has gone through a nuclear holocaust and civilization has reverted to a neo-Stone Age. In the second, of which "Rollerball" is an elaborate and very silly example, all of mankind's problems have been solved but at the terrible price of individual freedom."Rollerball," which opened yesterday at the Ziegfeld Theater, is the story of one man's attempt to regain that freedom. He is Jonathan E. (James Caan), a sort of dim-witted, futuristic Private Prewitt, the captain and star of the Houston Rollerball team whose popularity—so think the conglomerate executives — undermines the complacency of the world's citizens. After all, as one executive points out, Rollerball was designed to demonstrate "the futility of individual effort."Because of his huge personal popularity, Jonathan E. is asked to retire. When he refuses, for reasons that are more clear in the program notes than in the film itself, the executives keep changing the rules of the game until, theoretically, it will be possible to murder Jonathan in the course of one of the games.The only way science-fiction of this sort makes sense is as a comment on the society for which it's intended, and the only way "Rollerball" would have made sense is a satire of our national preoccupation with televised professional sports, particularly weekend football.Yet "Rollerball" isn't a satire. It's not funny at all and, not being funny, it becomes, instead, frivolous.It's as if Mr. Jewison, and William Harrison, who wrote the screenplay, really believed that things like war, poverty and disease could be so easily wiped away and that something like Rollerball could be inflated into such an effective soporific. The Romans threw Christians to the lions, but that didn't keep the lower orders quiet for long.Rollerball, as demonstrated in the movie, looks nowhere near as brutal as lion-feeding, or even the Indianapolis 500. Rather, it seems to be as carefully planned as a third - rate pro wrestling match. That, of course, could be one of the points of the film, though I doubt it. Mr. Jewison spends far too much time on the graphic details of the various Rollerball contests to mean for us to find them nothing more than a melodramatic swindle.The film has two interesting sequences. In the first, which suggests Fellini's imagination, the guests cap a fancy dinner party by going onto the lawn and playing with a hand-sized atomic gun that incinerates whole trees in an instant. In the second, Jonathan E. journeys to Geneva to question Zero, the world's most important computer tended by a sweet, fussy, forgetful old man, who is played by Ralph Richardson in a way that brightens the entire film for a few brief moments.Everyone else, including Mr. Caan and John Houseman, who plays a leading Houston executive, is more solemn and serious than the movie ever merits.

Finished Works and Works in Progress / Re: Anim8or in AGS game« on: January 26, 2016, 04:47:56 pm »
Thanks for taking a look! I have no plans to do anything more with it. It was a passing thought about the January MAGS (monthly AGS game) topic, which was Black Death, as in the bubonic plague in Europe during the middle ages. AGS supports sounds, music, and voice acting, but I didn't use any of them. I never got the dialog to work quite like I wanted it to, and I pretty much stayed with the BASS template that comes with the engine and allows noobs to make something that resembles an actual game. It was, very much, a learning experience.

There's no doubt that much of the iPhone's success is down to Apple's online App Store, which now offers thousands of games and entertainment offerings for the ever-growing range of iOS devices.
But it's not the only one. The BlackBerry may have started as rather strait-laced business tool, but RIM has upped the mobile web stakes with the introduction of BlackBerry 6 OS and high-end consumer-centric smartphones such as the Torch 9800.

With the "cooling down" of the Chinese economy, capital investments in new capacities within China are becoming less exuberant. Industry leaders like Nine Dragons, Lee & Man, and APP China are investing heavily in efficiency improvement rather than adding new capacity. Looking outward, Chinese funds and trillions in foreign reserves are slated for foreign investment with the Chinese government encouraging aggressive overseas expansion.

Ghost Riders
Michelle LaRose talks to Steve Grisham for Road To Jacksonville
Photographs by Michelle LaRose
Many know Steve Grisham as the man who wrote the Top 40 hit Keepin' Our Love Alive for the Henry Paul Band and many know him as the guitarist for The Outlaws. Steve is currently known for spearheading Ghost Riders and Mira Vista Studios.
Steve has surrounded himself with accomplished musicians whose resumes include the likes of The Knack, The Henry Paul Band, Pure Prairie League and The Levon Helm Band.
Dividing his time between Ghost Riders and Mira Vista Studios, Steve remains busy but found a moment to chat with Road To Jacksonville.
RTJ: The show you did last night was very different for you. Can you tell us about it?
Steve: It was a tribute to Elvis show with The Jordanaires, the original singers that backed up Elvis.
RTJ: Did you have to learn all the Elvis tunes?
Steve: Yeah. Actually I learned the first set about fifteen minutes before the show. I sat around the piano with the piano player and charted them out. We had a rehearsal for the second set which was a short one. When I lived in Nashville I did a lot of session work so I know how to write charts and read them real quick. It was a lot of fun!
RTJ: Can you give us a little background on Ghost Riders? How did Ghost Riders come to be?
Steve: Ghost Riders started out originally when I opened the studio in my brother in law's garage. Me and the drummer Pug got together and recorded a song for a customer, his name was Don Campbell. We did a song called Shotgun Run for Don it was a paying session and we just built on that. We got a hold of Barry next, then Pug brought in Phill. Phill and Pug had played somewhere at a jam together. Pug had been playing jam nights with Jimmy Bennett. So Pug brought in Jimmy Bennett and Phill Stokes. I brought in Barry and we put it all together.
RTJ: Ghost Riders have been together for about four years now?
Steve: Yeah about three and a half. March of 2003 was our first gig. I think it was March 9th or 19th.
RTJ: What is the toughest part of getting your music and name out to the fans when you're starting a new project like that?
Steve: One of the hardest things right now is the market is really flooded in the United States and North America. There's a lot of new avenues to take your music. Staying focused and picking where you really want to put your time and energy into, weather its iTunes, CD Baby or sales at the gig, if you want to get an indie label or if you want to get a major label. I started the studio as a way to record the band so we could record it and produce it ourselves. So we are kind of our own record company in that respect. We signed a small major label deal for the first record which didn't go so well. We're into the second CD now and we're shopping that to a couple of different labels.
RTJ: You're a singer, songwriter, producer and engineer. Which is the hardest hat to wear and why?
Steve: The engineer is probably the hardest because of all the new technology, you've really got to stay up on it. Things break and there's always something to fix and there's always something that's not working right. You have to be a computer expert really to be an engineer these days. The engineers in the old days, he was always a separate guy that would come in with a tool bag and get behind the board and take a soldering gun and fix whatever needed to be fixed. I actually looked for a tech person for my studio and was unable to find one. [Laughing] So I had to just keep plowing through it myself. That's really a headache. A lot of that has been worked out now. I have a couple of systems in place and everything's holding for now.
RTJ: You wrote Fallen Hero for Disney/Touchstone's Can't Buy Me Love. Did you write that song specifically for the movie?
Steve: No I didn't. It got in the movie by way of a friend of mine who was the key grip on the movie. He was playing it at work one day and the producer heard it and he liked it. They had originally wrote an entire scene around the song but the scene was too long and it wound up on the cutting room floor but just a little bit of a piece of the song stayed in.
RTJ: The last time Road To Jacksonville spoke with you, you said that you were working on footage for a DVD. Has anything become of that?
Steve: We took the footage, a set for the DVD which was supposed to have been done by the first indie label that we had and they kind of failed us and we've since parted ways. That ended up being what's normally called a promo video. It's a sample of three songs. That's pretty much what happened to that.
RTJ: As you mentioned, you are currently in the studio recording a new Ghost Riders album. What is the status on that?
Steve: The CD that won't get done! [Laughing] It never ends! The CD that never ends! The nearing point to this CD is really gonna' come pretty abruptly here. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks then I'm going on vacation. We've struck a deal with a German label for Europe called Phoenix Records out of Hamburg Germany. They're going to distribute our record in Europe. As I was saying before, the market is really flooded in the United States. They're a little bit more open to southern rock in Europe and newer bands. We're going to take our energies and put them into that avenue for a while. About the only place we can go in the United States, the only place a southern band can go is on the country charts. We just don't really feel at home there. All though we may end up there. We're both, we are country and we're rock. It's difficult to explain. Back when southern rock started there was no southern rock genre. It's something that somebody just made up and decided they'd call it that. Hopefully in the end we can transcend the boundaries of genre and hopefully get a hit on the rock charts as well as the country charts.
RTJ: Can you tell us a little bit about the new album?
Steve: The new album is sort of a mixture again of different styles. It's definitely full of surprises. It's not going to be what you would probably expect. It's going to be a little bit heavier on the guitars. Sort of stretching some of the rock roots that we have.
RTJ: Who wrote the songs for the new album?
Steve: Everybody in the band writes. So just like the first record, everybody will have at least one song written on there. We have five people in the band. The writers will be all over the board.
RTJ: Is there a title for the new album yet?
Steve: No. We haven't decided on one for sure. I've been kicking around a few in my mind but we haven't decided yet.
RTJ: You released a solo album in 2000. Do you think you will do more solo work in the future?
Steve: I'm actually working on restoring a project of a band that Barry and I started called One Eyed Jacks back in the early '80's. I'm going to restore that and put it out on the Mira Vista label. After that's done I hope to start on another solo project.
RTJ: Tell us about Mira Vista Studios.
Steve: Mira Vista Studios is in about the sixth year now. I started out in my brother in law's garage. I rebuilt that and moved to Largo for a while. I'm in my second house now that the studio's been in. Eventually the studio will wind up on the Withlacoochee River. [Laughing] To the final resting place I call it. After we're through here, my wife still works in the area so… As soon as we can find some work up there we'll probably move the studio up on the Withlacoochee River.
RTJ: What are your goals for Mira Vista Studios?
Steve: When somebody comes along that I like or if somebody in the band brings them in like the project we're working on right now is Pete Dorian. He's a friend of Pug's. Pug brought him in; he's got great material. I don't really have an open door policy at the studio. If there's somebody that I like and they want me to produce them and or engineer them then I'll take on the project.
RTJ: We'd like to thank you for taking time out to talk with Road To Jacksonville today Steve.
Steve: I want to thank you guys so much and in finishing, we need everybody's support. I can't tell you how much a new band really needs for the fans to go to bat for us and go to iTunes and download the songs. If you don't have any money, just spread the word because that's what it really takes. It really takes everybody saying, "Wow this is a good band" and keeping it going. It takes a band three to six years to be known and we're in our third, fourth year now so hopefully we'll start gaining some popularity in the next couple years. Keep rootin'! [Laughing]

Your treatment plan will depend on the severity of the dislocation or fracture. If you have a simple break in your arm, for example, you may need to wear a cast for six to eight weeks.

One of the many reasons the George Zimmerman trial is still of so much interest to conservatives, even though it concluded almost a week ago, is because conservatives are mostly white and they—and I include myself in this—are tired of being shamed for it. The Hispanic Zimmerman was labeled a white person by the media, thus indicting whites all over for the racism allegedly at the root of why Zimmerman shot a young man who was trying to kill him. Had the media instead exercised such irresponsibility by initially saying Trayvon was shot by actor Alec Baldwin, Baldwin would sue all the networks that repeated that false information. Since all the major networks, excluding Fox News, repeated the false information that Zimmerman was white, maybe we whites can get a class-action lawsuit going.
And of course one of the many reasons the Zimmerman trial is still of so much interest to blacks is because the media said whites were to blame.
Black people need to "wake the hell up," says Leonard Pitts, Jr., in an op-ed at The Miami Herald that sounds the alarm that White America is coming for them all.
Pitts himself is a black man, and because blacks have shown the rest of us that they are almost a monolithic group when it comes to their feelings towards any non-brother killing one of their own, he's none too pleased with the audacity of an objective jury to let a black-criminal-killer free.
I qualify that statement with "non-brother" because blacks don't mind when blacks are murdered as long as the respective killers are also black. I know this because 94 percent of blacks are killed by blacks, a majority of the murdered being young men, and not a single looting party is ever planned in the wake of such crimes.
Pitts laments, "We are living in a perilous era for African-American freedom." He pines for a golden age that I apparently missed in my history books, when blacks were allowed, without consequence, to sneak up on a person heading toward his car, sucker-punch him to the ground, and attempt to crack his skull against the asphalt over beliefs that the unsuspecting victim, who a few minutes prior committed the non-crime of keeping an eye on the black man, is a gay rapist. Methinks Trayvon didn't like the homma-sexuals very much. I smell a posthumously charged hate crime.
Pitt finishes out his column by attempting, quite successfully, his best impersonation of a self-righteous Civil Rights-leader-wannabe, melodramatically sermonizing a laundry list of Let It Be's, which includes the exhortation to "let Trayvon Martin's death and the acquittal of his killer be . . . a reason to send a check to the NAACP."
Yes, donate your money to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People so they can advance the cause of the coloreds who want to kill you, without any resistance and without any repercussions.
