Ethernet Contact Closure 4-Channel 10-AmpMirXR410_MXNET
Ethernet Contact ClosureThe MirXR410_MXNET Ethernet Contact Closure is a set of two boards with one contact closure input and one relay. The contact closure input controls the relay on the opposite board over a network or over the internet. A simple dry contact closure will connect to the input of one of the boards and control a corresponding relay over a local area network or across the Internet. Inputs such as buttons, relays, switches or other electronic devices (no voltage) wired to inputs on either board will control the relay on the opposite board.

Base Station Ethernet ConfigurationThe devices have been paired by NCD prior to shipment and require no configuration; however, if you wish to make changes in this pairing, you may use the NCD Base Station software to change the configuration settings. This can also be a valuable troubleshooting tool because of its ability to show devices that are communicating on your network.
Re-Pairing InstructionsFrom the Base Station 'Select Connection' opening window, click on 'MXNET/MCNET Device Pairing Utility'
Select both devices in list and click the 'Pair with Factory Setting' button to use the NCD mirror server. The connection symbol should show in front of the items once they are paired.
Select both devices in list and click the 'Pair' button to pair two devices. The connection symbol should show in front of the items once they are paired. Note: The server setting will not change.
Advanced Setup
- Connect the two Mirror modules that need to be paired to the LAN
- Run NCD Base Station software on computer connected to the same LAN
- Select one module and click the 'Edit' button
- Input the server address and port number. The default port is 8005. Both modules need to be edited. Input 0.0.0.0 if there is no server. For example, if only one server is used, input 0.0.0.0 for the rest of the servers. The remote mac address can be setup in the next steps.
- Select the two modules in the list and click 'Pair'
- Once the two modules are paired, there will be a connected symbol showed in front of the items
The pair setup with servers can work through the Internet. It is not necessary to be in same local network.
TipSet the Remote Mac Address same as Local Mac Address. This can be used to test the device connection with the server. When the remote address is the same as the local address, it will loop back when an input is triggered, triggering a relay on the same board.
Setting Static IP - MirX Only1) Put jumper to beacon mode
- In beacon mode, the module will always use DHCP no matter if static IP is set or not. So it can be listed on network.
2) Run NCD Base Station, Click "More" in the upper right hand corner and then click "MXNET/MCNET Device Pairing Utility".
3) Wait for device show up in list then select the device and Click "Static IP".
4) Select "Static IP" and input Static IP, network mask and Gateway. Please consultant with network administrator for correct value. Make sure all values are correct. IT WON'T WORK with incorrect settings.
5) Power off the device and put jumper to "Smart", Power on the device. If the device setting are correct and in same network as computer running NCD Base Station, it will show in the list with the new static IP Address.
To switch it back to DHCP, follow the step above and select DHCP in step 4. and put jumper in Beacon mode.
Contact Closure Over EthernetThe MirXR410_MXNET are sold in pairs, you will receive both boards shown here when you purchase this set. These boards will give you the opportunity to control a relay over your network or through the internet using a simple dry contact. Each board will plug into a router where it's assigned an IP address through DHCP or a static IP addresses can be assigned. Once on the network the boards will find each other and begin communicating. If the boards are located outside the network they will also be able to communicate over the internet.
Location Is Not an IssueMirX boards with an Ethernet connection should be used in applications where wireless or a wired installation is not an option. Location is not an issue, these boards will "find" each other on the network and even if the boards are located on different networks!
Who's Qualified to Use the MirX Series?Anyone. The MirX Series Controllers are the most consumer-friendly devices on our site. Whether an electronics engineer or a home hobbyist, anyone is qualified to use the MirX Series controller.
Lantronix Pro ModulesEach board is equipped with a Lantronix Pro module. The Lantronix module will connect to your router with a standard CAT-5 cable. The router will assign the module an IP address, the module will then check with the mirror server for the IP address of it's paired board. Once the modules know the IP address of each other they will connect directly with each other. LAN applications will not require an internet connection and the modules will find their mate on their own. The module is powered from the board and each board will require 12 volts of power and can be hard wired or you can purchase a "wall wart" type transformer at checkout.
Local Area Network CommunicationThe MirXR410_MXNET will work on a local area network. When two modules are in the same local area network, they can communicate to each other directly without an Internet connection. They have the ability to find each other on the network without any configuration. A static IP address may be assigned but is not necessary. If the router assigns a new static IP address the boards will simply look for each other on the network (using their MAC addresses) and begin communicating again.
Internet CommunicationUsing the MirXR410_MXNET over the internet, a 3rd party server is required. Two Lenux servers are used as a central hub and backup for MXNET communications and keeps each controller in communications with the other. You do not have to use these servers; you can install software on your own server and use it instead or in combination with the Lenux server. In fact, you can install our software on up to 4 servers. If one server is down, another server will be used as a backup path for communications. Your MirX-MXNET controller works right out of the box with our server, but you can add more servers if you want to increase the reliability. The external server is not required when using the boards over a local area network (LAN). LAN connected MXNET boards will find each other directly (each location must be connected to an Ethernet router or switch).
Port ForwardingWhen using these boards over the internet and outside the Local Area Network, Port Forwarding on each router will be required. Port Forwarding is a protocol used by your router to allow incoming requests for connections to get through to a specific device on a specific port. Below is an example of how it works. In this example a router has been setup to forward incoming requests for port 2101 to the device at the IP Address 192.168.2.19 on port 2101. Now when any device that tries to access this Port on the External IP Address the router will see the request and automatically forward the request to the device at the IP Address of 192.168.2.19 on port 2101. If this Port Forwarding rule was not in place and a request came in on port 2101 the router would not know which port or device to forward it to and the request for connection would be denied. Note: Port Forwarding will not be necessary when using this within a Local Area Network. For more on Port Forwarding with detailed instructions for every router visit: https://portforward.com/ .
Multiple MirX PairsMultiple pairs of the MirX Controllers can be used on the same network. The boards are paired together using the MAC Addresses of the Ethernet modules installed meaning multiple pairs will not interfere with each other! With Base Station Software you can view and edit all paired boards on the network and change the pairing if needed.
Base Station SoftwareThe devices have been paired prior to shipment and will require no configuration; however, if you wish to make changes in this pairing, you may use the Base Station software to change the configuration settings. This can also be a valuable troubleshooting tool with of its ability to show devices that are communicating on your network.
Attention: No Voltage Input
Please Note: Users must NEVER apply any voltage to an input on the MirX Boards, these inputs are for
Dry Contact Connections ONLY.
MirX RelayThis pair of boards allows you to control a relay using a dry contact (no voltage). The dry contact can come from a manual switch, a sensor or device that provides a contact closure, or another relay. As long as the contact closure circuit is closed the relay will remain energized or on. When the circuit opens the relay will de-energize or turn off. Meaning the relay will respond to a toggle or momentary connection depending on what type of input you select. Each MirC pair is ready to stand up to rigorous demands from heat, cold or vibration. Take it from us, these controllers will hold up!
Status of Remote RelaysBoth boards are also equipped with LEDs that display the status of the remote relay. Status information is verified using 2-way wireless communications. If communication is lost between the devices, the LED will turn off. Additionally, every MirX controller is equipped with a Busy/Ready LED. If the Busy LED flashes, this indicates the other device has successfully received and accepted your contact closure status. If the Busy LED does not flash, the remote device is out of range.
Contact Closure InputsThe inputs on these boards accept a dry contact only - no voltage. Users must never apply any voltage to an input on either of the MirX Controllers.
Relay OutputsRelays do NOT provide a voltage output and can be used as a dry contact. They provide a contact closure output and simply interrupt the power to the device you are switching. The relays are rated for 240 VAC or 24 VDC. See the Data Sheets tab above for the specs on relays installed.
SPDT Relay InstalledThis device has SPDT relays installed. SPDT Single Pole Double Throw Relays have three connections - Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed. When the relay is off, the common is connected to the normally closed connection of the relay. When the relay coil is energized, the Common swings over to the Normally Open Connection of the Relay. You can wire the device you are switching to either the Normally Open or the Normally Closed position.
2-Million CyclesMirX series controllers are designed for long life, you should expect to get years of service from your controller and literally 2-million cycles from the relays on board. With a 5-year warranty and a money back guarantee you have nothing to loose! Place your order now, while everything is in front of you.
Break-A-Way Tabs for a Smaller DesignThe MirX relays have a great feature where space is a premium - Break-A-Way Tabs. The Break-A-Way Tabs allow most boards to fit in an optional undrilled plastic enclosure. Snap off the Break-A-Way Tabs and you have a controller with a smaller profile when you need to fit in a tight space.
RoHS CompliantThis board is led free and RoHS Compliant. If your requirements are for RoHS compliant parts this board is manufactured with RoHS compliant led free parts and solder.
5-Year Warranty/Money Back GuaranteeMirX controllers are guaranteed against manufacturing and functionality defects for a full 5 years! Not to mention a 30-day money back guarantee! If for any reason you are not happy with a relay purchased from Relay Pros, simply return it within 30 days and we will give you your money back! Controllers that are damaged by our customers will not of course be warranted under any circumstances.

MirX Features
Induction SuppressionPerhaps the most overlooked aspect of relay control is proper handling of inductive loads. Inductive loads can best be defined as anything with a magnetic coil, such as a motor, solenoid, or a transformer. Controlling a inductive load using this relay controller requires the use of induction suppression capacitors. The purpose of this capacitor is to absorb the high voltages generated by inductive loads, blocking them from the contacts of the relay. Without this capacitor, the lifespan of the relay will be greatly reduced. Induction can be so severe that it electrically interferes with the microprocessor logic of our controllers, causing relay banks to shut themselves down unexpectedly. In the case of Ethernet devices, customers may experience loss of communications until the device is reconnected. Capacitors that we offer are available at checkout, for more information see our Induction Page.
Power Supply AvailableThe PWR12 is regulated power supply providing clean power necessary for the performance of these boards. The PWR12 US power supply is a 120VAC to 12VDC 1.25A 60Hz regulated power supply and it plugs into the barrel connector on the board. The output connector is a 2.1mm I.D. x 5.5mm O.D. x 9.5mm R/A barrel connector.

Ever wonder why your hotel key card stops working?
Hotel key cards are not created equal. Just ask Richard Portuguese of Onity, a firm that specializes in electronic locking systems.
A key card with a brown stripe on the back — the kind used by most hotels — is the one most likely to give guests trouble, and prompt a return to the lobby to have it re-encoded, Portuguese says. These are the cheapest cards to make, and easily become de-activated if they're placed too close to anything magnetic.
A card with a black stripe on the back is better. These cost hotels a bit more, and use a different type of magnetic technology. But the data contained on them won't be erased by your cell phone or other devices, so travellers encounter fewer problems.
A third type — still relatively new in the hotel industry and used mainly by higher end properties — is what is commonly known as a swipe card (or a "proximity based card" in industry lingo). Guests simply tap this type of key card to a card reader on the door, much like you would use a PayPass at a gas station.
The newest technology — still being developed — will allow hotel guests to bypass the front desk altogether and unlock their hotel door with their cell phone, using Near Field Communication.
Key cards will still be around for a while but many travellers — citing security reasons — choose not to return them to the hotel on departure, believing their personal information is stored on them. Could that be true?
"That's an urban myth," Portuguese says. "The only thing that goes on the key cards in any of our systems is the room number, the number of nights and the expiration date."
Times may be tough, but people continue to travel, said Helen Marano of the World Travel & Tourism Council in her keynote speech to the Hotel Association of Canada convention in Toronto earlier this month.
"Rarely over the past 20 years has the travel and tourism industry been challenged by such economic and political uncertainty as we are seeing now," Marano said. Yet despite slowing growth in emerging markets in the Asia Pacific region including in China and India, and negative GDP growth in the Eurozone for the third quarter, global travel and tourism performance — especially international demand — "remained impressively resilient," she said.
"WTTC expects global direct Travel & Tourism GDP to have grown by 2.7% in 2012, which is higher than the rate of overall global GDP. International air passenger traffic grew by 6%. Hotel occupancy rates were higher in most regions for the first 10 months of 2012 against the same period in 2011."
And according to the WTTC's latest estimates, global travel and tourism investment will rise by nearly 6% per year over the next 10 years.
HAC marks its 100th anniversary this year. Other topics discussed at the conference:
— Growth in Canada's hotel sector was reflected by the addition of 37 new properties last year, which added 4,324 rooms, most of them in the upper mid-scale range. Among the new additions are the Coast Coal Harbour and Shangri-la hotels in Vancouver, and Four Seasons, Trump and Shangri-La in Toronto. Hotel growth will continue, with 55 properties expected to open in 2013.
— Travel and tourism accounted for 5.4% of total employment in 2011, a figure that rose by 0.3% in 2012 and is projected to increase over the next 10 years by 0.7% per year to 2022.
— Visitor exports (money spent by foreign visitors on Canadian-produced tourism goods and services) generated $15.7 billion Canadian in 2011. This was almost 2.9% of all exports including goods and services. That figure is expected to grow by 0.3% when figures are tallied for 2012, and by a further 2% per annum over the next 10 years.
— Travel & Tourism contributed 4.4% of Canada's total of GDP in 2011. The world average for relative contribution in 2011 was 5.5%.
An increasing number of Canadians travelled to the U.S. for cheaper airline tickets last year.
According to the 2013 Canadian Travel Intentions Survey, 18% of survey respondents said they travelled to the U.S. for bargain plane tickets in 2012 (up 3% over the previous year's survey), and 32% said they plan to do so in 2013.
The highest numbers of cross-border airline ticket shoppers come from Ontario and British Columbia (23%, up 4%), and in the 18-24 year old age category (32%). High Canadian airfares, says Anthony Pollard, president of HAC, are "the result of high airport rents, Air Traveller Security charges, NAV CANADA fees and airport improvement fees and amounts to millions of Canadian travellers finding the price of Canadian tickets more expensive than the cost of driving to the U.S. and flying from airports like Buffalo, Detroit, Plattsburg, Bellingham, Bangor, Seattle, Syracuse or Grand Forks."
HAC says a comprehensive federal review of Canada's aviation cost structure is needed for the country to compete on a level playing field.
The survey was conducted by Opinion Search and defines a traveller as someone who will stay at least one night in a hotel, motel or resort.

Laughing in the face of every fool who bought a short shift kit, this 2nd Gen Viper owner affixed a four-foot shifter to his car. There's no way this can be serious.
Technically speaking, the amount of physical effort needed to change gears with a longer shifter is reduced as it gets longer. There is, however, no logical justification for a shift lever that extends entirely out of the confines of your car. Either it's part of some Rat Fink tribute or it's just a joke. The owner's sideways hat was the first tipoff that this fully-functioning build is a parody, and the second clue comes in the YouTube description.
Warning this will not fit on a GTS or hardtop SRT10 Gen3 or 4 Coupe and would interfere with a convertible top when placed in the closed position.
What's the worst Viper mod you've seen? We've seen a Dodge Viper with a cheetah skin roof. That's a real thing.
(Hat tip to Hung Nguyen!)

The Worst Dating Etiquette Mistakes You Can Make
There are a lot of ways that dating has changed since you were a teen, but one major way is that things are a lot more uncertain nowadays. Before your date even begins, make sure both parties know it's a romantic occasion. Nothing would be more embarrassing than going in for a hug when the person you're with is expecting a handshake. Be sure whoever you're out with knows you're looking to be more than friends.istockphoto.com
Scheduling a date, rescheduling and rescheduling again
Everyone gets busy, we totally understand that. But if you're going out on a date with someone, try to stay committed to the date and time that you originally planned. Even if you have the best intentions, scheduling and rescheduling a date over and over again makes it seem like you don't actually have any interest in following through on your plans. This can mess with someone else's emotions, which certainly is a little rude.istockphoto.com
Ignoring your date's wants and needs
Hopefully, if you've reached the point where you're going on a date with someone, you know at least some of the things they like (and don't like) to do and you can plan your evening out accordingly. If your date doesn't like scary movies, don't go to see the latest horror flick in theaters. If you're going out with a vegetarian, maybe avoid the best steakhouse in your state.istockphoto.com
Picking a divisive activity
An activity like going rock climbing, spending the night at a comedy club or trying out a new sushi place may sound like a lot of fun to you, but not everyone enjoys these things. We can't emphasize enough how important it is to double-check with your date before finalizing any plans.istockphoto.com
Dressing inappropriately
You don't want to be severely over- or underdressed for any occasion, including a date. If you're the one being asked out, ask a few questions about where you'll be going and dress accordingly. Nobody wants to be in a ball gown at a fast-casual chain, wearing jeans at a Michelin-star restaurant or rocking a turtleneck at a night club.Shutterstock
Being fashionably late
This should go without saying, but if you and your date are meeting at a restaurant or other mutual location, make every single effort to be there on time. Get ready for your date well in advance, check for traffic and leave early if at all possible. Being late for an engagement is rude to your guest and shows an inherent lack of regard for their time. Basically, it's the worst way to start off a date.istockphoto.com
Ordering for your date
Unless you and your date agree that you'll be ordering for the both of you (or that you'll pick each other's dishes as a fun game), don't do this. Pushing your ideas about food onto another person is rude. If you really feel strongly about a certain dish on the menu, suggest it casually but leave the final decision up to your date to avoid an awkward situation.Shutterstock
Staring at your phone
There's one rude habit that's incredibly common: checking your phone while in the presence of other people. We've all done it, but this behavior really should be avoided if you're out on a one-on-one date with another person. That text message, Twitter thread or meme your friend sent you via Instagram can wait until you're back home.istockphoto.com
Avoiding eye contact
Just because you manage to stay off your phone doesn't mean that you're going to be an engaged date. To show your date the extent of your adoration and interest, be sure to make eye contact. This shows that you're focused on them, you're interested in what they have to say, and they're attractive to you. This is an easy and great way to make a great impression on your date.Shutterstock
Lying in any relationship is a major no-no, but it's especially important to be honest with someone you're romantically involved with. A lie is a lie, no matter how far into your relationship you are. One of the biggest first date mistakes you can make, for instance, is telling the other person that you're looking for something serious when you're not. Admittedly, it's not ideal to be brutally honest to a fault (especially about things that aren't even asked), but be sure to be real with the person you're with. It'll only help you and your relationship in the long run.istockphoto.com
Discussing uncomfortable topics
There are a few topics that you should never discuss on a date: politics, religion and money, for instance. Now, if you're going out on a date with your longtime partner, your feelings on these things will have been long-established. However, nothing puts a damper on an evening quite like a discussion about your finances or the White House.istockphoto.com
Talking exclusively about yourself
We get it. You're interesting and cool and people tend to like you a lot. But it's exhausting to hear about all evening long. Be sure to ask your date about themselves. And please, be genuinely invested in what they have to say.istockphoto.com
Interrogating your date
Just because you should ask your date some questions about themselves and their life doesn't mean you should interrogate them. Remember: You're out on a date, not a job interview. You want to keep your conversation natural.istockphoto.com
Not talking at all
You know what's more uncomfortable than lying, discussing controversial topics, being a braggart or drilling your date about their college GPA? Not talking at all. Sure, if you've been with someone a long time and live with them, you could feel like you've exhausted all topics of conversation; if you're out with someone new, maybe you just don't know what to talk about. Either way, it would be smart to brush up on your small talk skills rather than sit there in awkward silence.istockphoto.com
Forgetting basic table manners
It would be a shame to sour a good conversation by making basic etiquette mistakes, so engage your best habits. Remember to put your napkin in your lap, keep your elbows off the table, chew with your mouth closed, and set down your silverware when you start to talk.istockphoto.com
Getting drunk
There are a lot of reasons to have a glass of wine every day, and going out on a date is just one of those reasons. There's nothing wrong with having a few drinks when you're out at a bar or restaurant on a date, but know your limits and stick to them. You may think you're charming when you're drunk, but your date could just think you're a fool.istockphoto.com
Being unkind or discourteous
Treat your date how you would like to be treated (or better). Hold doors open for them, listen when they speak, help them into their chair, and make sure that they're having a good time all night. Don't speak over them, and don't walk ahead of them on the sidewalk.istockphoto.com
Fighting for the check
In theory, the person who initiated the date should pick up the check. So even if you feel uncomfortable with that situation as the second party, perhaps you can reach for the check but then let it slide. If not paying for the dinner genuinely causes you distress, suggest splitting the dinner 50/50 or make sure you pay for the next date.Shutterstock
Assuming you can get intimate
There's a line between a friendly hug and assuming that you can go home with your date. Don't think that you can just kiss someone without asking first, and definitely don't assume that just because you paid for that steak that you are owed any particular intimacy in return. And please, for the sake of others around you, try to avoid PDA.istockphoto.com
Not leaving when maybe you should
Not every date is a love connection. It's not OK to ditch a date in the middle of the appetizer course, but it is OK to skip dessert or not go to that charming cafe for coffee. If a date isn't going well, don't drag it along. There's nothing more rude than being misleading. If you're not feeling it, call it a night. Just be nice about it. Leading someone on is a way that you're being rude without even knowing it.

Further proof that people buy eco-friendly cars for their luxury and not for their economy came today when the Embassy Suites hotel in Nashville, Tennessee started to run their eight-passenger Nissan Leaf shuttle. Granola-crunchers, your limo has arrived.
The Leaf "GoGreen" limo, built in Springfield, Mo, has no extra batteries to cart around the 400 pounds of metal welded into the middle, as well as however many pounds the '70s-tastic vinyl roof padding adds. That's going to cut into the standard car's 73-mile range, but since the limo rarely makes a trip over five miles, it shouldn't be a problem.
One hotel guest who'd never been in an electric car before was surprised by the normalcy of the stretched Leaf, done up with the same wood, leather, and mirror interior treatment familiar to drunk bachelorette partiers and important businesspeople the world over. She told AutoMotoTV,
It feels so smooth. You can't even really hear the engine running, but it wasn't like being in a golf cart either.
The limo driver expects that the idea will catch on and more hotels will get their own electric limos. We wouldn't be surprised to see more of these things in front of Hollywood hotels in the next few years, either.

BKCASE Releases SEBoK v. 1.3
On May 30, 2014, the Body of Knowledge and Curriculum to Advance Systems Engineering (BKCASE) Governing Board and BKCASE Editorial Board released the latest Guide to the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK) version 1.3, the 10th iteration of the SEBoK, at www.sebokwiki.org.
Launched in 2009, through the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC), a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) University Affiliated Research Center (UARC), the BKCASE project was developed to formalize systems engineering practices, education and curriculum. Through two separate initiatives, a Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK) and a Graduate Reference Curriculum for Systems Engineering (GRCSE), BKCASE has been successful in the development of the systems engineering repository of information and training guidance and has contributed tremendously in improving the practice and pedagogy of systems engineering worldwide.
Under the guidance of Dr. Art Pyster, Distinguished Research Professor in the School of Systems and Enterprises at Stevens Institute of Technology, Chief Operating Officer of the SERC and past Editor-in-Chief of BKCASE and Dr. Dave Olwell, Professor at the Naval Postgraduate School and past Co-Editor-in-Chief of BKCASE, SEBoK was created to be the authoritative body of knowledge for the systems engineering discipline and to significantly increase the quality of communication among systems engineers.
In less than two years since it was first published in September 2012, SEBoK has become a fundamental guide in the realm of systems engineering and is recognized as the authoritative source of information, consisting of hundreds of articles, glossary terms and links to resources. Updated every few months to keep it fresh and reflective of the newest knowledge and best practices from the systems engineering community, under the guardianship of three steward organizations – the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society (IEEE-CS) and the SERC, SEBoK has been adopted as a strategic asset in INCOSE and the IEEE Computer Society and is available as a free and open resource to all.
With SEBoK v. 1.3, BKCASE continues its commitment to regularly update the information referenced in the guide. Under the leadership of Rick Adcock, current Editor-in-Chief for BKCASE, SEBoK v. 1.3 ensures that the references listed in the guide continue to represent the most current information and resources from the systems engineering community.
SEBoK v. 1.3 includes three new case studies, a guide for users who are new to systems engineering, updates to several articles throughout the SEBoK and updates to many references, including incorporation of the newest version of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK).

One thing that seems to be popular among some programmers is that "you're doing it wrong" if you even think about heterogeneous collections.
However I often find use for them.
I think a lot of the opposition comes from languages that are statically typed and provide no clean way to check for user defined types.
Heck, look at the CLOS we get a type predicate for our user defined classes so it can be very safe to allow unlike things to be stored together.
Now one use case I've found is making a queue of unlike functions that need to be delayed and executed at a later time.
It is quite handy to just shove them all in a container and execute them later when needed.
You can think of this as something akin to behavior scripting. (Imagine how easily you can give a video game object unique actions with a list of actions and execution tick time)
Another use case I've done is storing GUI elements easily.
Instead of having to subclass each GUI element through a long tree of polymorphism, you may simply store all items on a menu container in the same container and update them all at once. The active widget is simply an index value you work on. A menu of different widgets that cycles with a single index value is very powerful. You can still use polymorphism to get the behavior you need from parent widget classes but your are not FORCING polymorphism to trick them into fitting into the same menu.
A third case is when you want to write a function that may evolve at runtime.
In a user interaction system where routines are built, it is especially helpful to be able to change the order and types of functions called while maintaining the toplevel function name.
I can see some AI systems that use machine learning being able to rewrite their functions closer and closer to the goal all while editing and storing a function under the same name.
A lot of languages seem to be grown from big pieces fit together at a high level so complexity arises from that while leaving gaps between the big chunks. Lisp was grown from the simple CONS cell and lambda and I think you get a flexible clean language from that as a natural side effect (even if it is hell to implement that abstraction from a low level language). You get high level flexibility because the most basic of the pieces themselves started as flexible. You can see this as CONS cells as building blocks for lists rather than a "list of Int" etc.
Pardon the rant.
I'm just a bit tired of the ghastly looks I keep getting for liking the flexibility of Lisp's/Scheme's lists.
I think heterogeneous containers are great, as long as we the programmers carefully document our code.
What do you use heterogeneous containers for?
Situations for heterogeneous containers
Whatever is on your mind, whether Lisp related or not.

Paul Levy and René Gateaux
René Gateaux published five paper during his lifetime. All were published in 1913 or 1914 and appeared either in the Compes rendus of the Academy of Sciences or in the Rendiconti of the Accademia dei Lincei. Perhaps the most significant of these five papers is Sur les fonctionnelles continues et les fonctionnelles analytiques published in 1913. He was at the beginning of an extremely promising career in mathematical research when World War I broke out. Gateaux was killed in the early days of the war, fighting on the battlefield at the head of his infantry company.
Although he had published comparatively little, he left other work unpublished and Paul Levy prepared this work for publication in three papers "R Gateaux, Sur la notion d'intégrale dans le domaine fonctionnel et sur la théorie du potentiel, Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France" (1919), "R Gateaux, Fonctions d'une infinitee de variables indépendantes, Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France" (1919), and "R Gateaux, Sur diverses questions du calcul fonctionnel, Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France" (1922). These were substantial pieces of work, the first paper being 23 pages long and the third being 36 pages. It is in these papers that the "Gateaux derivative" appears. This is defined on locally convex topological vector spaces and generalises the idea of a directional derivative from differential calculus. It has important applications in physics and, unlike other generalisations of the notion of derivative, it is not linear.
The paper Sur la notion d'intégrale dans le domaine fonctionnel et sur la théorie du potentiel has before it in the journal first a statement by Hadamard followed by a statement by Paul Levy. Hadamard wrote [1]:-
The name of R Gateaux, killed at the beginning of the war (September 1914), is well known to all those who are interested in functional analysis. Five notes in 1913 and in 1914 in the Compes rendus of the Academy of Sciences and in the Rendiconti of the Accademia dei Lincei, contained results of such importance that the Academy of Sciences decided to award him the Francoeur Prize in 1916.We also quote an extract from what Paul Lévy wrote:-
But the discoveries which he obtained without having time to publish them, still greatly exceed the preceding ones in importance, and show what large expectation French science had the right to expect of their author. They are fortunately not lost. we found in the papers of Gateaux notes were entrusted to me and in the examination of which Paul Lévy, highly qualified for this study by his previous work, agreed to lend me his assistance.
In particular two memoirs: one on functions of infinitely many independent variables, the other on potential theory, were almost completely written, at least in a provisional way. we begin the publication of them here. Paul Lévy took on the rather considerable work of their development - all friends of science and of France will be unanimous in giving him their thankful recognition.
The memoir on the theory of integrals and potentials in functional analysis is, though last in date (June 1914), that which we publish first. It is, in my opinion, the one which is richest in results. It opens a new and important chapter in functional analysis and reading it makes it possible to realise what an immense loss the person of Gateaux is to science.Paul Lévy also wrote an introduction to Fonctions d'une infinitee de variables indépendantes which appears in the same issue of the Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France immediately following the previous paper by Gateaux:-
The draft found in the papers is certainly not a definitive version. Also I tried to respect his thinking while, where I could, making simplifications ...
I have given, moreover, in a final note, some indication of another draft of the same memoir which was also found.
This memoir was found in the papers of R Gateaux, in two successive drafts, both of the two being dated March 1914. The second is perhaps the definitive draft and it would be possible to publish it without appreciable modification. But it was unfinished and the analytic theory of functions was published according to the first draft. Though this draft is less perfect, being certainly intended only for the author himself to use in the second draft, I had to make only one change of any importance. ...

Texas is a state located in the southern part of America, and its population is about 26,956,958 people. Texas is bordered by such states as New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and is surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico on the one side.
Texas is a very large state, which ranks second in population after California. Texas is developed in almost all sectors of the economy, especially in agriculture, education, medicine, oil, the gas industry, as well as in the financial sector and the banking sector.
Let us consider providers of banking services in Texas. One can count approximately 520 local as well as national banks which offer their numerous banking services to all the Texas citizens. We would like to take a little closer look at the most popular and the largest banks located in Texas.
1. JP Morgan Chase Bank
JP Morgan Chase Bank is the largest American bank. JP Morgan Chase Bank provides commercial financial services to both corporations and smaller companies, as well as to individuals. These services include both settlement banking as well as investment management and expert advice. One can count 570 branches of this bank located in 127 cities in Texas.
2. Bank of America
Bank of America is a company which provides multinational financial services and was founded in the U.S. The company is serving a wide range of clients from individuals to major corporations and even governments. Bank of America operates in five main areas, which are: banking services for clients and companies, real estate services, global banking, global markets and investment management. In Texas, you can find 368 offices of this bank in 111 cities.
3. Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo is an American multinational corporation which provides services in banking and insurance, and its headquarters can be found in San Francisco, California. It takes the fourth place among the largest bank in the U.S. by asset size and it is the largest bank by market capitalization. Wells Fargo is a massive financial structure that accumulates all the world experience in commercial banking. In the state of Texas, there are approximately 609 offices of the bank located in 206 cities.
4. Comerica Bank
Comerica Bank is a company which provides different types of financial services. One can find its headquarters in Dallas, Texas and it is considered to be the largest commercial American bank located in this state. Comerica Bank also made it to the list of largest banks in the USA. One can find 122 offices of this bank located in 41 cities in Texas.
Of course, this is not a full list of large banks with their offices in Texas. As we have stated earlier, the state is well developed in the banking sector, and there are plenty of different banks to choose from, so it all comes to one's needs.

Two monorails collided on Sunday at the Disney World park in Orlando. Witnesses say a single train was stopped at the Ticket and Transport Center when a second train rammed it from the rear.
The 21 year old operator of the moving train was unfortunately killed in the accident while a second employee was transported to the hospital and six other guests were evaluated on scene. None of the seven others had injuries and were immediately released.
Disney officials have identified the train's operator as Austin Wuennenberg, a senior at Stetson University and a valued employee of the amusement park.
Disney's vice president for public affairs, Mike Griffin released this statement;
"It's a terrible day for us, our hearts go out to to Austin and his family."
It's a sad day when any young person loses their life, especially when it happens at the "happiest place on Earth."

Non-linearity and Absorptive CapacityChen, Taotao; Kokko, Ari; Tingvall, Patrik Gustavsson (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Using a fixed effect variance decomposition model, we estimate SUR models to analyze FDI spillovers from contagion and spillovers from competition on local firms in China. While the former type of spillover mainly depends on the degree of foreign presence in the local industry, the latter kind is related to how foreign and local firms interact. The main conclusion is that FDI has been beneficial for the Chinese economy, but that spillovers are not evenly distributed across firms and industries. Spillovers from contagion tend to exhibit an inverse U-shaped pattern with respect to the degree of foreign presence at the industry level, whereas spillovers from competition are more linear with respect to the level of technological sophistication of foreign firms. Industries with high absorptive capacity and/or high efficiency are the ones best equipped to take advantage of spillovers from foreign-owned firms. Moreover, there are signs of substantial competition between foreign-owned firms. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8033

Reproductions of the 1988 Pontiac Fiero 2.8 V-6 with A/C heater core hoses. These hoses have been discontinued by GM and are not available in the aftermarket.
Hoses for the 1988 Fiereo for non A/C applications are still availble in the aftermarket. If they are at some point discontinued I will look at having reproductions made.
To make this easier I have one page for the front compartment rubber heater core hoses and one page for the large radiator coolant hoses. See this page for the large coolant hoses.
HEATER CORE HOSES (1988 V-6 with A/C)
Heater core hoses:
The large diameter heater core hose is number 10 in the picture above. Replaces GM part number 10069158.
Small diameter heater core hose is part number 11 in the picture above. Replaces GM part number 10069156.
Small $18.72 (10069156).
Large $20.47 (10069158).
Use the drop down box below to select by GM part number.
I do not offer free shipping.
Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation
When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.
Shipping: Shipping is $12.00 (Midwest-USA)
Final shipping cost is determined by weight of the item(s) and distance from Milwaukee, WI. Shipping prices quoted are for items shipped to the Midwest area in the USA. If you are ordering a single item or multiple items the total shipping price is determined after you place the order. I try to keep my shipping prices to a minimum and use Postal Flat Rate boxes whenever I can utilize them for an order.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia - Canadian women have done it again.
Marielle Thompson of Whistler, B.C won a gold medal and Kelsey Serwa of Kelowna, B.C., captured a silver medal in women's skicross Friday at the Sochi Winter Games.
The final pitted the four fastest women in qualifying. Thompson, ranked third, took an early lead against the first-ranked Serwa and never let it slip. Both crossed the finish line ahead of bronze medallist Anna Holmund of Sweden.
Thompson and Serwa were among the medal favourites entering the event, with Thompson winning two World Cup races this season and Serwa collecting a World Cup win on the same course last year.
Georgia Simmerling of West Vancouver, B.C., was eighth in the seeding run and won her opening heat, but crashed in the quarterfinals and left the course in obvious discomfort.
The 1-2 finish allowed Canada to bookend gold-silver performances in Olympic freestyle skiing. Freestyle opened on Feb. 8 with Montreal sisters Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe finishing 1-2 in women's moguls.
Canadians also finished 1-2 in the men's moguls two days later, with Alex Bilodeau of Rosemere, Que., winning the gold medal and Mikael Kingsbury of Deux-Montagnes, Que., taking the silver.
The two medals Friday, which came a day after Canadian women won gold medals in hockey and curling, propelled Canada into second place on medal table with a total of 22 — eight gold, 10 silver and four bronze.

Please give us a way to turn these off. They slow my computer down considerably.
Shouts do not slow down significantly. I noticed that Facebook is having issues today (the whole Facebook, not the game in Facebook, not our fault), maybe it is affecting you too.
Try playing out of the facebook frame to avoid their problems. Use our local URL: https://www.guildmasters.com
but make sure you are previously logged into Facebook and you have session initiated with our game within Facebook, or you will be re-directed within facebook domain again.
Once you have started your session in the game with your facebook login, you can get out of the Facebook frame using our local URL www.guildmasters.com
Going out the Facebook frame will always get better performance, however it will break a bit the working of the web. Paging in tables (log, ranking, quests...) will jump the page at the top again, so you'll have to scroll down again every page you change.
My advice at the current state of development, is keeping inside facebook frame, unless Facebook be slown down like this moment, then you'd better jump out of the facebook frame. At least at the current state of development.

The New Mexican
The State Game Commission will make another important decision today about the future of wild creatures in New Mexico.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials want to release up to 10 raised-in-captivity Mexican gray wolves, a move that has been rejected by the Department of Game and Fish. That decision has been appealed to the State Game Commission, which will be deciding the matter today at a meeting in Albuquerque. (The meeting, at Embassy Suites, 1000 Woodward Place NE, begins at 9 a.m., but wolf enthusiasts plan to rally at 8 a.m.)
Releasing more wolves into the wild is essential in adding genetic diversity to the wild population. The department should have allowed the release, and the commissioners should overturn the initial decision. That likely won't happen, given the commission's recent spate of decisions against carnivores.
Commissioners' decisions have made it easier to hunt and kill cougars and bears. They denied a permit to Ted Turner's Ladder Ranch to aid in the federal wolf recovery program by providing pen space — a reversal of 17 years of a program that worked. This clearly is a Game Commission hostile to wild animals.
Should the commission not allow the release of additional wolves, we trust that U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service bosses will use the Endangered Species Act to force New Mexico's hand. Under federal law, the United States is charged with protecting the endangered wolves and striving to ensure their survival. Only 110 Mexican gray wolves are believed to be roaming in our state and neighboring Arizona.
For the wolves to thrive, a more diverse DNA is necessary. Releasing these wolves — born in captivity but ready to take to the wilderness — is essential to the survival of a species. New Mexico is not alone in trying to block the release of these wolves; Arizona also is dragging its feet.
Such short-sightedness on the state level must be fought by aggressive federal action. If the states won't do the right thing by wolves, the federal government must act, using its authority under the Endangered Species Act. Humans pushed the wolf to extinction. By acting wisely, humans can restore the wolf to its rightful place. Release the wolves, with or without state approval.

We are peevish! We are easily annoyed or irritated when someone says anything negative about
We don't look at our garbage filled pavements, pot-hole ridden roads, or the sorrow on begging children. Actually, we don't have any misery. If there is any, we have learnt to close our eyes when it appears. We don't have AIDS, and if there is any news about AIDS, it is highly exaggerated. We don't suffer from poverty; your definition of poverty doesn't hold well for us. We want to be compared on purchasing power, not absolute per capita.
We are the world's biggest democracy; don't write about its flaws, because we don't have any. We don't have dowry deaths, we don't have untouchability, there is no caste violence- they are things of the past. If they do happen, they are isolated incidents, exaggerations and propaganda campaigns. Where we live, those things don't happen.
We have learnt to live with corruption and therefore it's not a problem for us, it's actually a way of life, the middle path, which we Indians have learnt and which the West will learn when it gets civilized. We have learnt to live with all inequities. They are actually natural harmonies; we live with them, in tune with all those inequities. We are not apathetic to our environment, it just happens that we live in it, harmoniously, and therefore we don't see what you see.
And before you criticize us, look at yourself. We see gaping holes in you. 'Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones at others'. You have flaws too, therefore you can't criticize us.
Ah, you talk about our proud city, Mumbai, and say that it is the rudest city on the planet? We don't accept your study and its methodologies. They are flawed. You say that we have gone down the index on freedom to press and media? It is flawed too. You are envious of our progress and therefore you rank us low. You say that our country has AIDS and therefore wish to donate millions of dollars? How dare you do that? Do you think we are beggars to accept your money? Moreover, we think it's your way of 'unnecessarily' highlighting the problem and blowing it out of proportion. We have everything under control. In fact, we have just erased two zeros from the number of AIDS patients. See, now everything looks perfect.
And please don't write books that show us the stark truth. We are not used to seeing our flaws in the mirror. Don't write about anti-Sikh riots of 1984, we will ban it. Don't show our gods in nude, we will ban them. Oh, what about the ones in our temples? We prefer not to look at them. The temples are so dark anyway. We catch a glimpse of our God, ask what we want, and we quickly get out without admiring any of the architectures.
And please don't use our gods on your T-shirts, sandals, toilet seats, and don't use them on your CD covers. We will protest, use our muscle power to make sure you won't sell any of that stuff.
Please don't write anything generalizing Indians. We are completely oblivious to color of the skin. We don't care whether you are black or white. Our Lord Krishna was actually dark. We don't use any creams to become fair. It's just a marketing gimmick; you can't base your argument on that. We are not racist. We are just class-conscious. We are just following our ancient texts which clearly lay out the principles of natural hierarchy which when followed only reflects the harmonious balances of the universe as seen by Supreme Being.
Don't criticize our Vaastu. Don't you have Feng-Shui? Our Vaastu is far more advanced and scientific than your Feng-Shui. Don't you know that if your plot is in the shape of a turtle, you are bound to die? Your website sucks? Use Vaastu. Our ancestors anticipated websites much before you could even read or write. They have laid down all the rules for making a good website thousands of years ago. Once you follow these rules, positive cosmic energies will flow through your website, making it successful. It's all written in Vaastu, you just need to understand it. We have many experts. We can export some to you.
And please don't even go near our national issues. We strictly do not tolerate any discussions on our national integrity. If you feel that any of our people are unhappy, then you have no idea what you are talking. All of our people are very happy with us. It's just that we have bad neighbors who keep sending these unhappy elements into our country. And stop writing anything to solve it, we consider it sedition and we will pack you off to jails. Already, we have POTA, TADA, and many other such acronyms; you will fit into one of them for sure. And then you are history.
Please don't tell us about tolerance. We ARE tolerant. Don't you know that Hinduism preaches "sarva-dharma-samabhava"? It's inherent in us to be tolerant. And if you say anything more, we will crush you and shove all our tolerant principles down your throats.
We are diverse. Look at our people; they come in all shapes and customs, all languages and religions. We don't know much about them, their culture, or their identities, but so what? Can you speak as many languages as we do?
And yes, our governments bodies, academic bodies and industry is completely filled with upper caste Hindu groups, and that's because they are good at them. Those who are not good at them are given other menial jobs. This is our definition of diversity; you don't have to teach us what it is. Your civilization is only few thousands years old. We are more than ten thousands years old. Don't you know the new archeological expedition sponsored by Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi dates us way back into end of Ice Age? We are pre-historic. You are kids in front of us.
We don't like to get our people converted to other religions. Yes, we believe in freedom to practice a religion, but we believe one should practice the religion he is born into; not convert. Conversion is against the natural order prescribed in our ancient texts. Just imagine if all your blacks suddenly became white, wouldn't that upset your natural balance?
Modern Science? Don't even go there. Our Vedas have all your science combined and ten times more, written in a language that only selected few can understand. It's just that we can't really decipher them when we need them. And it usually happens that we understand them only after the Modern Science has clearly explained it, just the way Nostradamus' prophecies are explained after the events happen. You may think it's cryptic. For us, it's very natural. We have no problems in calling airplanes birds, and we look at quarks and atoms as bears and wolves. It's our way of speaking and alluding to complex physical and mathematical concepts.
How did we derive our alternate sciences? Hmm, we just sat under a tree and meditated for long, and then Behold! Everything became clear and then we wrote it down. Sorry, we don't believe in empiricism and your Kant's dialecticism. We arrive at truth in one single stroke. No deduction, no logic, no reasoning, no hard work. That's why you see so many Indians doing nothing, sitting and sipping chai, trying to look for answers to the world's problems, while you waste away your time in labs doing unnecessary research and engineering.
We are Indians. Let us be the way we are. We don't like to be criticized. We know enough about you and we are smart enough to find loop holes in all your arguments and send you back home with tails between your legs. We don't like to be corrected. We are already correct. We don't like to improve. We are already perfect. We don't need to learn anything from you; we are all learned pundits here.
So, please don't tell us anything negative about us. It's not welcome here. We get really pissed off when someone does that. We will call you a traitor, an enemy, a fool, and abuse you, and threaten you to shut up. If need be, we will come to your home, raid your works, burn up your paintings, shut down the theatres, and run around the streets with a sense of accomplishment.
Yes, we are peevish, and we are proud of it. After all, we are Indians!

5 Stages Of Academic Essay Writing Process
If you want to become proficient at writing academic essays, you should consider following an established essay writing process. This will help you get started and move through all the writing with a smooth style. The following process is comprised of 5 steps; some of them overlap but you can mix them around a bit of you need to. For example, some students know exactly what they want to write about before they even start writing. They have the topic chosen and most of the research done.
If this isn't you, you may need to do the research first in order to narrow down the topic. So the 5 steps can be done in the order that best suits your needs.
- The pre-writing stage. In this step you will need to answer the following questions: Who is my audience? What are my readers looking for? What is my purpose? What questions will my essay answer Choose your topic and make it narrow enough to cover it adequately in the scope and length of your essay. Brainstorm ideas and start writing them down.
- Forming an outline. Some people call it a cluster. But no matter what it's called, basically it's an organization of the main points into a logical order. Each main point then has several supporting points. There is an intro, the body and the summary or conclusion. It makes it so much easier to write once the outline is done because it's a guideline for you to follow as you write.
- The rough draft. Start writing the essay! Get all your thoughts onto paper (or the computer screen) without worrying about spelling or punctuation or anything. Just getting them out of your head and onto the essay is the main objective here. Once that's done, you can arrange them a bit to fit the outline as well as polish them up a bit as you go.
- Edit and revise. This greatly improves your essay. You can look over the content. Is it adequate? Have you written enough in each section? Does the organization of the content make sense? Does the paper give adequate support to the thesis? Is the essay clear and organized? Edit for spelling, sentence structure etc.
- The final copy! It would be advisable to have another person read it over and give you some feedback before you hand it in. Don't print out your best copy yet in case they find something important that you missed. Congratulations you're done!

Our company develops and publishes social games (i.e. casual games for social networks such as Facebook).
Our games are easy to learn (intuitive, casual, playable right from the start), fun (various interactive elements create a unique playing experience) and social (Plinga-gamers will challenge their buddies, compete with old and new friends – sometimes in real-time – and publish game results and stories).
Our users use social networks. They love to play social games with their friends and with other social network users and they are somehow receptive to addictive games. The target audience is rather mainstream and does not necessarily include heavy gamers or gaming nerds. Our games will inspire social network users within all age groups, explicitly including those users, who would not play games outside of Facebook or MySpace.
• Logo should contain name of our company "Plinga" (without quotations).
• We want the logo to be young, vibrant, fresh and fun to highlight the fact that we are a games company!
• However the logo should also be not too playful (i.e. certain degree of serious CI).
• Font must be legible and clearly defined (no cursive or goofy script and not too small).
• No particular color scheme is required - bright and clear contrasts is generally better, but open to seeing different colorings as well.
• Logo can be reproduced on a white or colored background but with clear contrasts.
• We will need all source files in all major formats. We need to hold the ability to alter colors at will and provide additional formatting at will (e.g. fully layered PSD-File).

808dave brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 363 Designs von 62 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Social Office Suite
Social Office Suite will be a Social Media CRM much like Hootsuite or Tweetdeck. It will be a more robust platform and want a strong logo to be easily identifiable by everyone. This logo would be Part of the abbreviated call sign "SOS" and we are probably looking for something like how facebook, Twiiter and Wordpress have taken ownership of the letters f,t and w. We are either looking for a strong logo design with the letters SOS in it, just S and O since the slang term for SOS is Social Office or just a really strong S with a really great font. 3d logos dont really work because they dont translate well when on a tile or shrunk down very small which happens a lot.
The entire business community and all social media users that are trying to figure out if they want to use Hootsuite or tweetdeck for free or SOS for money. Its kind of like a business person deciding between using GMAIL or OUTLOOK for their business email address.
need a logo that includes the SOS abbreviation with Social Office Suite next to, above or underneath it. I need a stron S or SO or some incorporation of both like a S inside an O so the public could infer that that stands for A social office or Social Office. I am open to a design with an incredible "S" that would dominate all other S's including Superman himself like Twitter, facebook and wordpress have all done.
I am attaching some logos we have done which are down the right path but not quite a winner. really looking for something clean, original and 2d. also attaching some logos of other comapnies that I think are great.
attached logos i think are cool
SOS logos that are god but have not cut the mustard
1st good but the conversation bubbles are kind if IMish and I like how they make the S but could be more inside and make a S inside the O making a Social Office "SO"logo . Hate the font of Social Office Suite
2nd same
3rd is good but i want to own the letter S in a dominant way
4 is weak
5 is great and the logo os cool and keeps in mind my goal of being social media friendly and that logo could be a tile representing the brand but it is to close to Microsoft Office and it is an S but not enough of one.
I would like to be able to put the logo in front of words that start with S like
Super, Streamline, Success where my S is the first letter

In this installment of IDG Enterprise's "CEO Interview Series," Cisco CEO John Chambers talks with IDGE Chief Content Officer John Gallant, Computerworld Editor-in-Chief Scot Finnie and InfoWorld.com Editor-in-Chief Eric Knorr about Cisco's changing relationship with IBM, HP and others as it forges ahead into new enterprise IT markets.
Your goal of being the No.1 IT company puts Cisco into a different market. People know you as the network company because you are selling against, say, Juniper on point products. But now you'll be selling a vision of IT against the HPs and IBMs of the world. That's a very different thing, no?
[We're] one of the top architectural players, as well as the top communications company, which you could argue we're in pretty good shape on. We'll play architecturally on both technology and on business.
We've had a track record in whatever markets we've entered, becoming the No.1 player. Even our toughest critics would probably give us credit for that. The first generation of competitors we took on were very good companies: SynOptics, Wellfleet, 3Com, Cabletron. Only none of those now exist. And, the same thing could happen to Cisco if we don't get market transitions right.
Secondly, we have a healthy paranoia. We know we could be left behind too. Make no mistake about it. While we have no fear, we have a lot of healthy paranoia about what can go wrong.
Third; when we started in the service provider market, people said we didn't understand service providers. It's a different set of competitors, Nortel, Lucent, Alcatel, Siemens, Ericsson. To think you could even play here is probably a stretch. To think you can become the No.1 player, forget it. And yet, we did. Those were tough competitors. But we got our market transition right. We moved in a way they did not. We did it on architecture.
If you were at the Mobile World Congress, you ask any service provider who is your most likely business partner? And who's your most likely technology architecture partner? We'll get the answer the majority of the time. Now, that was something you would have said five or six years ago was not possible.
In the data center, I did not want to compete against IBM and HP. I tried to partner with both of them. I would have preferred that. But we knew going in - and the decision was made five years ago - once we started down the path with virtualization, that if they would partner we'd prefer to do that, and would have actually given them a large part of our technology. But if not, it was too important strategically to us, because it wasn't a question about moving into new markets. I'm not after servers. I'm after virtualization, where you don't know where your processors are, your information's stored, the application resides. You don't care. If done another way, the network becomes dumb pipes, commodity like. So we had to move into this in terms of where the market was going. We focused on market transition, not competitors. And I think you'd have to argue, we're off to a good start, both in mind share and vision and strategy. But it comes down to how well we do on our first pilots.
