- Great to experience onceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/27/2014My son and I dined at The Teahouse after a walk through parts of stanley park. It was the perfect place to dine right before a flight out of canada. The hostess was warm and hospitable and went out of her way to make my young toddler son feel welcome. The food left a lot to be desired, unfortunately and regrettably. I remember thinking I could make a much better salmon steak and the bed of lettuce it came on was supposed to be an entree sized salad! Salad consists of a lot more than a few large lettuce leaves. :( I didn't finish the meal (also the salmon was still raw in the middle which is an error novices make! ). Despite not finishing the meal, no one inquired as to why. However, overall, I was glad we went at least once.Special Features:
- fab patioHibsVIPDined on 9/20/2014Great afternoon on the patio enjoying the view. Waiter never stayed long enough to hear the answers to his questions. Bit indifferent. Burger wasn't as good as in the past. Vongole was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food- service so soRushedVIPDined on 9/15/2014Fantastic location and beautiful surroundings. The food was good but our lunch was slightly marred by so so service. Our server did not tell us about the specials which we only found out later when we overheard any server. Too bad as the specials sounded great and we would have ordered them. When the meal was brought to our table the order was wrong and he had to go back for forgotten items. However it was not so bad that we would never go back.Special Features:
- Sunset was spectacularOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/13/2014Service was great and very accommodating. Food very well presented and cooked to our liking. A great experience overall.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely view and good foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/7/2014Great place for a special occasion. On a lovely day, sitting on the patio is highly recommended. The food is consistently good. The wait staff are friendly and very obliging. If you have guests from out of town, this restaurant is a must.Special Features:
- Perfect BrunchfoodmakesmehappyDined on 9/7/2014My very good friend and I came here for brunch, we sat on the patio and you couldn't have asked for a better day, the sun was shining, the food, service and atmosphere was completely amazing!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great location and superb foodSMP6Dined on 9/6/2014We tried this place on recommendation for an afternoon tea but when we arrived, found that it was really a full restaurant these days. We still managed a light tea but we returned a few days later for a lunch. The setting is wonderful looking out over the water and all the food and wine we experienced was great. Our waiter, Adam, took time for a chat despite the restaurant being very busy and was both courteous and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend The Teahouse Restaurant in Stanley Park, Vancouver.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very slow serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/3/2014It took 3 hours for a 3 course meal. Service was painfully slow and it was embarrassing for us entertaining clients.Special Features:
- A Real GemGordonDined on 9/3/2014It is difficult to imagine a more appealing restaurant in a more beautiful setting! What appears to be a cozy cottage is just that, but so much more. The interior feels open, spacious and is filled with light. And the view over the approach to Vancouver's harbour is hard to beat. But we eat in restaurants for the food, of course, and The Teahouse never disappoints. The menu is not excessively large but still has plenty of variety, the meals are skillfully and meticulously prepared and the presentation is appealing. My fresh B.C. Coho salmon melted in my mouth and the accompanying melange of potatoes, broccolini and asparagus was perfect. If you eat her once, you will surely return!Special Features:
- Amazing Food and Service!!!TeresaDined on 9/2/2014We arrived 45 minutes early, in the rain. Not only were we seated immediately at a lovely window with a view, but a staff member went out in the rain to pay for our parking (yes, with our credit card, but saved us the trouble of doing it ourselves). Our lunch was served promtly, and both dishes lived up to their menu description. Fresh ingredients, flavourful and prepared with attention to pleasing arrangement on the plate. Great coffee! Thanks for a memorable and delicious experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful!godlliDined on 8/31/2014Try the Linguine Vongole or Mushroom ravioli, delicious and filling. Our server recommeded the "mousse" cake, great way to finish off a lovely afternoon lunch!Special Features:
- Always a great place to dinemikeeatsoutDined on 8/30/2014We were well received when we arrived, the staff were friendly and accommodating, the menu was simple and well thought out with something for everyone. The server was helpful and knowledgeable and finally the food was delicious. We were 3 adults (one visiting from Japan) and an 11 year old and we had a wonderful time at The Teahouse Restaurant. This is the third time I have been there in the past 18 months and every time was a memorable experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WowGpickDined on 8/27/2014Food matched the view Excellent service Very nice menu selectionSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great location, below average foodGrayCDined on 8/26/2014Many years had pasted since we last visited the Teahouse and it will be many more before we return. For the price we expected a lot more. The appetizers of Coal Harbour Clam Chowder and Teahouse Stuffed Mushrooms were good although the portion of the clam chowder was insufficient and I'm not a big eater. Our main courses were sable fish (black cod) and halibut. The halibut was dry, probably from being too long in the freezer while the sablefish was moist and received a favourable comment. The accompanying vegetables were good. The portions are small so it's just as well they are liberal with the bread. The deserts were good. I'm only giving two stars as I expected a lot more especially for a bill including tip of $250+ for three people.Special Features:
- Come for the location2discerningdinersDined on 8/24/2014We enjoyed our evening at the Teahouse and found the ambience outdoors very pleasant on a warm evening. Despite our concerns we were able to park nearby. The dinner was unexceptional. Calamari , salmon and cheesecake. The calamari was very heavily over-crumbed, the salmon well-cooked to our liking, the green herbed mashed potatoes were weird, sorry no other description and the cheesecake just adequate. Value for money there are better value restaurants in Vancouver along Commercial Drive for example.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LovelySeatactomDined on 8/23/2014As always, beautiful setting, delicious food beautifully presented, good service - a good night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great evening--great foodSeattle63Dined on 8/23/2014Lovely table next to the wide open window...service was just right, food delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- overpriced lunch menu for quantityOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014menu overpriced for the quantity at lunch, not too many interesting lunch choices.Special Features:
- Had a great time!aepageDined on 8/21/2014Had an awesome window seat to watch the sunset. Stuffed mushrooms were fantastic - as well as the rest of our meal. Great service - definitely a great spot if you are wanting a place with a view...Special Features:
- Lovely lunchPorkSaladAnnieDined on 8/21/2014My husband and I lunched outside on the deck on a beautiful day. The food was expensive but very good and the service was excellent. Great care was taken regarding my husband's allergies and when my cocktail was not quite what I expected, it was remixed to suit me. Because of the price, I would eat here only on special occasions.Special Features:
- Wonderful experienceHolidayMakersDined on 8/20/2014We are currently on holiday in Vancouver and made a reservation for the Teahouse, we were very impressed with the quality of food, the cheerful waitresses and waiter and the view from our seats - stunning. A truly wonderful afternoon. Our waitress also didn't mind taking our photograph and suggested a different angle as she knew the photo would come out better. She was right, it did. Thank you - a highlight of our holiday X x x xSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Impressive First VisitOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/19/2014Dined outdoors on a lovely evening. Service was excellent; staff friendly and accommodating. The tenderloin was perfect both in size and in preparation and the onion rings were "to die for". Heartily recommend the white chocolate cheesecake - very light and creamy. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stanley park TeahouseSenseiKDined on 8/18/2014We were seated very promptly, and had our choice of inside or the patio. We chose outside because of the lovely view of the ocean. Food was very tasty although the hummus appetizer was a bit bland. The main dish of fish was very good with the accompanying potatoes and asparagus. The server was very personable and took good care of us. Not someplace to go everyday but a nice place to take someone important to you on a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Made for a Memorable Anniversarylklein1Dined on 8/17/2014The setting of this restaurant could not be more perfect. Right on the beach in Stanley Park. The view was amazing. We watched the sunset from our table. Our waiter was incredibly attentive but not pushy or intrusive. Our meal was outstanding. I had the Prime Rib special and it was cooked to perfection. I could not recommend the Teahouse more. While we were there, a wedding reception was happening in the next room and you would never have known, it was so quiet. So yes, big groups and intimate dinners for two can go on at the same time and neither loses out on what they came there for.Special Features:
- Sunday BrunchBike2BCDined on 8/17/2014Went here for a nice Sunday Brunch. Sat outside on the patio. Very nice and food was goodSpecial Features:
- Loved it! Great service & FoodRedleoDined on 8/14/2014Excellent I would absolutely go again! Great sunsets & they post the sunset times May through October as it is home to Vancouver's longest sunsets!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good tourist spotchocolateloverDined on 8/14/2014Busy, but accommodated us nicely. Nice food. Make a reservation or long wait.
- Food does not disappoint!EnkaDined on 8/12/2014As I remember, very nice food, good selection, very good salads and seafood, no disappointment there. We made a reservation for special occasion and the choices of the tables were both awfull, we ended up dining by cleaning station, you can imagine the noise. Service pretty friendly otherwise, but be patient, as because of volume kitchen is pretty busy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional FoodheimbodyDined on 8/12/2014This is a superb location with a stellar view and delicious food. We had lunch as part of a celebration event and could not have been happier with the restaurant. Not surprisingly, it is a very popular place so I highly recommend making a reservation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good but over-pricedsteveportmoodyVIPDined on 8/12/2014Stanley Park location and ocean views no doubt attract the tourists and the prices. $23 to $28 for a lunch entrée is crazy, as is the $9 for a dessert. The bottle of decent wine was a comparative bargain at $32. Excellent service. Can be noisy.Special Features:
- Awesome restaurantDanmazurDined on 8/9/2014It was an unexpected find. Mi expected more of a 'tea house' with lighter faire, but the food was excellent.Special Features:
- Pleasant experience with kidsMommylikestoeatDined on 8/6/2014Had heard this was a great place , but was a little worried about bringing three kids for lunch. The staff were great, helpful and not snooty and the kids menu was terrific. They dealt with a drink spill with no fuss and all three now say it is their favourite restaurant. I was thrilled to be able to eat high class food without leaving my kids with a sitter.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing TableSeebDined on 8/5/2014We made the reservation 2 months in advance for our 10 year anniversary as we did the year before. The year before they gave us a beautiful window table. This year ( knowing it was a special celebration) they seated us in a second tier table with a group of 16 right behind us. It was very noisy so I found a table in the bar that was much better and we asked to move. They were very nice about moving us. Other than that the dinner was very lovely. If we are visiting Vancouver Next year for our Anniversary we go there again but I will ask for table 31 specifically.Special Features:
- Memorable SettingboulderfoodiesVIPDined on 8/3/2014Four of us dined at the Teahouse on our recent trip to Vancouver. The major reason to eat here has to be the view and outdoor setting - just beautiful! The food was good, though the overall experience is similar to any upscale country club restaurant (that is, it's not a foodie place). We went on a Sunday and two of us ordered the Prime Rib dinner special (which was fine). The two ladies ordered Salmon (good) and the Crab/Shrimp Salad (very good). We started with a Caesar Salad (shared) and two orders of the Clam Chowder (good). The restaurant was very busy and the kitchen got well behind, so much so that management comped us a bottle of wine. I would recommend the Teahouse to a friend primarily because of its setting and atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointsnzeggieDined on 8/3/2014The Teahouse in Stanley Park is our go-to for a celebration. The view is fantastic, the vibe is understated elegance. The summer patio is more casual, with the same excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of a KindDrFoody8hereDined on 8/1/2014We celebrated my wife's birthday at the Teahouse on a Friday at noontime. We were lucky to have a nice table for two out on the patio. Our servers were friendly and the service was fast and efficient. This was the first time that we had gone to this restaurant. We are long time residents of the city and have wanted to dine at this restaurant for a long time..We were not disappointed and will return in the future. A nice place to take special visitors and guests from out of the city.Special Features:
- lunch experienceCarewmdDined on 7/30/2014Absolutely loved this place. Service was great. Friendly atmosphere. Food was wonderful and well prepared. We plan to go back there every time we are visiting Vancouver.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinkyDined on 7/28/2014It was the perfect sunny day to have lunch at the Tea House in Stanley Park. We have been going there since 1979.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GoodfoodView0727Dined on 7/27/2014Great service. Waitress was vey attentive. We had 2 birthdays in the group and we were give a nice window table with a view. Prime rib was very good but some would have preferred the sauce on the side though we had not informed the waitress. Beautiful sunset after dinner was a bonus. We were able to treat the over 85's to a sit down view of sunset over the sea from a nice park bench in front of the Teahouse. Great evening!Special Features:
- Memorable BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/27/2014Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. A special family brunch.Special Features:

Proceeds from those monthly book sales at the DeLand Library sure add up. Construction on a new bookstore there will begin this month -- a project that's been three years in the planning, fully funded by the Friends of the DeLand Library.
Friends president Louise Caccamise said it's a dream come true -- literally.
"I woke up in the middle of the night one night and it was like it was already built. I dreamed it."
Ms. Caccamise said there is a spot off the library's children's room that is "like a backwards L" where the bookstore will be built. There will be an outside entrance from the Howry Avenue side of the library in addition to one from the auditorium on the inside.
"All we have to do is fill in and make it square," she said. "Two walls are already there. We'll create an outside entrance and extend the sidewalk. The brick won't even look any different."
She said the whole project should be completed in 90 working days from groundbreaking. Shoemaker Construction in Sanford was the lowest bidder on the 720-square-foot addition.
"The county oversaw the bidding. We just provided the money," Ms. Caccamise said.
Volusia County did not have funds available for the $256,000 project so it was up to the Friends to make it happen, she added.
The organization sponsors programs to enhance the community's cultural awareness and to focus attention on the library, including author lectures and book signings, book discussions, exhibitions and special programming for adult and young readers. There are 240 members.
Money for the library is raised through memberships, donations, legacy funds and book sales.
"We have been giving over $30,000 a year to the library," Ms. Caccamise said. "We'll earn $2,000 to $3,000 on weekends when we have our (book) sale."
She said books for the sales come from estates, from people cleaning out their houses or moving away and from the library itself, as it weeds out the collection.
"We buy multiple copies of bestsellers, and a lot of times people will buy those (from us) new and bring them back for us to sell," she said. "They read and return."
Ms. Caccamise said, with the exception of "very special" books, nothing at the sales costs more than $1.
She said the world of books, like everything else, has changed. With the advent of electronic devices such as the Nook and Kindle, computers and Smart phones, it's hard to say whether future generations will appreciate what so many book lovers enjoy, turning the pages.
Mrs. Caccamise said one of the main goals of Friends is simply to "get books into people's hands."
She recalled one of her group's first major accomplishments.
"We gave a set of World Book Encyclopedias to the library," she said. "It was a momentous gift at the time. It was like front page (news). That's how times have changed."
Mrs. Caccamise was a librarian for 30 years. She joined FOL 50 years ago when the group first formed. She's been president of the DeLand organization three different times.
"When we traveled we always visited libraries in many different towns. They have always had a prominent place in my life," she said.
Her book, Echoes of Yesterday: A History of the Deland Area Public Library 1912-1995, contains pictures of the DeLand Library in its various locations from the time it opened in 1912 to now. Those pictures and locations also are available at dfotl.org/index.htm.

Albert Kerscher (deceased)
|German Army - Knights Cross with Oak Leaves. Oberfeldwebel Albert Kerscher was, like Otto Carius, a panzer ace from schwere Panzer Abteilung 502. He achieved his 100th kill in defending the Neuhauser Forest near Pillau, East Prussia in April 1945. On 22nd July 1944, 1st Lieutenant Otto Carius with his company of eight Tigers advanced towards the village on Malinava (northern suburb of Dunaburg) in order to halt the Russian advance. Carius and Kerscher took a Kubelwagen in order to check if the village was already in Russian hands. They discovered that Malinava had already been taken by the enemy. Carius recognised that the Russian tanks in the village were only advance troops waiting for the main force to arrive. He decided to recapture the village before the arrival of more Russian tanks. Carius returned to his company for briefing and explained his plan to take the village. He decided to attack the village with only two Tigers because there was only one road leading to the village and it meant very risky business. Six Tigers remained in the reserve while the Tigers of Carius and Kerscher moved towards the village of Malinava. Speed was the essence of the plan to take the Russians by surprise and immobilise their tanks. When they were about to enter the village, they could see two T-34/85 tanks rotating their turrets in their direction. Immediately Kerscher, following Carius at about 150 metres, fired two shots in rapid succession, and destroyed the two enemy tanks. This was the first time that Carius had encountered one of the latest JS-1 heavy tanks. The silhouette of the new heavy Russian tank was somewhat similar to that of the Tiger II, and Carius got confused at first but after a little hesitation, ordered his crew to fire at once, and the JS-1 burst into flames. Afterwards they realised that the entire battle was over in about twenty minutes. In such a short time, the two Tigers of Carius and Kerscher had knocked out 17 Russian tanks including the new JS-1. The Russians were taken by surprise and their quick and accurate perception of the situation were the main factors that led the two Tigers to victory. The achievement of Carius and Kerscher at Malinava is on the same level as the famous action of Michael Wittmann at Villers Bocage. He ended the war with a total score of 107. Albert Kerscher passed away on 12th June 2011.

I knew that Francesca & Giles's wedding was going to be a great one to photograph as we had so much fun on their engagement shoot in Whitstable. Two naturals in front of the camera. The fact that they are great friends of mine made it all the more special.
The ceremony took place at St Mary Bredin church in Canterbury and the reception at the fabulous The Old Kent Barn. When they booked the wedding the barn was not even constructed so they obviously had great faith in the architects drawings (very brave). I've shot a number of weddings in barns but have to say this my one of my favourites with it's huge windows there is an abundance of natural light which makes for fantastic photographs. The theme of sapphire blue and white continued throughout with stunning white orchids for the bouquets arranged by the lovely ladies at Contemporary Flowers.
They were blessed with an amazing Indian summers day, it was a complete joy to capture their wedding.
Luckily in the evening I got to put my camera down and enjoy the fantastic music performed by Dukes of Havoc one of the best bands I've heard at a wedding.
Enjoy the photo's…

Small Gap between Hope Pro 2 20mm thru axle and Pike 454 Dual Air lower???
I just got a 2006 Pike 454 Dual Air and a set of new Hope Pro 2 hubs with 20mm thru axle up front. I noticed that when the 20mm axle is in the lowers, without the axle, the black side caps are flush with the lowers. But when I put the Maxle thru it stops before going all the way through. I ha ...

Minute 2 & Black Super Air - Pro's/Con's ?
For a heavier rider, about 185 lbs, that rides only XC but very aggressively, which would be best, a Minute 2 or Black Super Air? Both at 100mm for a hardtail. I have a Min 2 on my Enduro but I thought that would be a good match because my Float R is PUSH'ed and the Min 2 has SPV Evolve. Thanks. ... Read More »

For years, IT pros have heard that they must do more with less, as staffing is cut and outsourced, while demands to better serve the business and adopt new technologies continually increase. This is how it's always been, but it doesn't have to be how it always will be.
We've reached the breaking point, and it's time to make a stand. There is no more "more," so IT must do less with less. You already know how to draw the line: Stop doing the busywork with little value. Make the business choose its key priorities, rather than dump them all on you. Be smarter about letting users handle some of their own tech so that you can do what's truly critical. Help yourself eliminate aggravation while helping the business to reduce costs. Push back when confronted with impossible deadlines and requirements that have no basis in reality can actually be beneficial in the long run -- for everyone.
In a world of junk food and harried families, we saw the rise of the fast-food nation and the high price paid for its convenience. From that frustration was born the Slow Food movement, which promotes a healthy relationship with food. The Slow IT movement applauds that sentiment and seeks to apply it to technology management.
The tanking economy is the perfect excuse -- use it! Business executives across the globe are using the downturn to justify layoffs, cutbacks, closings, delays, negotiations, and all manner of triage. You too can play that game. After all, you only want what's good for the company. And if someone says it hurts, well, it's only temporary, right? This is an emergency!
Seek opportunity in adversity. Embrace the 10 tenets of Slow IT:
1. Stop trying to be a superhero. Unrealistic deadlines and workloads just lead to burnout and poor quality. You're asked to juggle an impossible set of priorities. Pass the buck back where it belongs. Be clear on each project's requirements (time and money), and tell the business to decide its priorities. New projects mean something else has to move down the list. It's not your job to decide which -- in fact, making it the business's responsibility will reduce the less-useful requests. But only if you deliver what you promise will business trust you're not just trying to slack off.
2. Let users manage themselves wherever they can. Many users can install their own software and manage updates. Let them, such as through a do-it-yourself server for licensed apps. And stop babysitting their use of personal technology. Unless specific regulations disallow it, let people install iTunes, Gmail, and the like -- with the clear understanding that if they screw up their computer, you'll wipe it out and reinstall the defaults, not troubleshoot any damage they caused. Likewise, make it policy that if they use personal e-mail, iPhones, or other personal technology, they are on the hook for any breaches or misuse. Make sure that everyone knows all the risks, and the reasons you're doing this. After all, with freedom comes responsibility. And you've got more critical work to do.
3. Eliminate the makework. Go through your routine tasks and assess what value they actually bring. Chances are that you spend more time than necessary on monitoring and preventative measures for risks that are rare. It may sound like heresy, but it's probably more efficient to let some things go and fix them occasionally than to spend a lot of effort preventing the breakdown. With that assessment, you can reduce the makework and give business more of the tech benefit they really want.
4. Automate everything you possibly can. And point out that you've saved the company the cost of one or more employees by doing so. Make sure that your monitoring application knows everything about everything, from CPU utilization in your routers to random tests of inbound fax lines. Just make sure it's understood that autopilot only works when the skies are clear.
5. Outsource your annoyances. SaaS and cloud computing aren't just the latest tech buzzwords; they're also ways to avoid managing and maintaining servers, storage, and applications. Google Apps, Live Workspaces, and the like are fine substitutes for the departmental or branch office filer -- and they're already available to everyone. Hosted applications are a bigger step, but the same principle applies. If you're supporting a multiplicity of marketing, sales, support, budgeting, billing, or project apps for as many myriad workgroups, it's time to rationalize the environment. Start pulling the plug on these servers, and consolidate these applications in the cloud. The most troublesome apps and noisiest users are first in line.
6. Target the sacred cows. Pushing administrative headaches into the ether is just one aspect of performing IT triage. Don't stop there. Look for every opportunity to eliminate the nice-to-haves for the sake of the truly important. The time is ripe to reevaluate the old valuables and to kill aging sacred cows. Is that creaky legacy system a business necessity, or is it a luxury the business can no longer afford? Do users really need Wi-Fi in every corner of the building? Unless management is living in a cave, new projects and planned purchases have already been reexamined. Now is your chance to put the costs and benefits of existing assets under a microscope too -- especially those that are feasting on admins.
7. Let downtime be downtime. Don't open the laptop when you get home, turn off the cell phone, and let the spam pile up for the weekend. The quickest way to losing your marbles is to never learn how to relax. Take up a hobby, like single-malt Scotch. There are enough crises in every work week. Let the weekends and evenings sort themselves out -- unless there's absolutely no other choice.
8. Refuse to get married to anything. Hardware, software, home, office, computers, routers, whatever -- just because you fixed it once doesn't mean you are contractually obligated to fix it forever. In fact, you probably shouldn't even fix it once. The next time someone brings their personal laptop in to have you "just take a look," ask them something in their line of work that wouldn't be acceptable. "Well, you're in finance, right? Would you mind doing my taxes for the past three years? I just can't get the hang of them." Turnabout is fair play.
9. Keep the joy of tech alive. Yes, everything is said to be urgent, but you can't let the fun and innovation of tech get squeezed out of your week. In fact, you need to keep that fun going as a motivator. The company is poorly served if you're a dead geek walking. Staying abreast of tech innovations will let you more easily see better solutions to tech issues as they arise. Reserve at least an hour a day to peruse IT news sites, gadget sites, and so forth. Don't get stuck in the hamster wheel of the day-to-day.
10. Make the business listen to you. Befriend the brain-sucking zombies. You've heard ad nauseam the need for technologists to understand the business. Well, the business needs to understand you, too. Make a point to engage with business staffers so that you can learn what's really important to them and they can learn what's really important to you. Plus, once you realize they're not (all) brain-sucking zombies, and they discover you're not Ted Kaczynski, you'll create the trust of a personal relationship that is critical during crunch times.

An undergraduate course (known as a bachelor's degree) is usually the first degree students apply for and lasts for three years.
You will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts (BA), Sciences (BSc), Engineering (BEng) or Education (BEd), depending on your choice of subject.
The basic building block of the degree is a module. Each module is worth 30 credits and an honours degree is awarded to students who achieve 360 credits.
You will be studying some core modules, which are compulsory parts of the course, and some optional modules, which you can choose according to your own interests.
Postgraduate degrees are for students who have already completed an undergraduate degree to a good standard or have enough experience in the relevant field.
A master's is usually taught like an undergraduate degree and takes one or two years. It is more challenging than a bachelor's and demands considerable independent thought from students.
A doctorate (PhD) is the most demanding academic qualification, and usually involves creating a book-length publishable piece of original research in its field.
We offer a wide range of MA, MSc, MPhil and PhD programmes.
Mature students or younger people who have the ability to succeed but do not have all the formal qualifications or experience needed to start an undergraduate degree can enrol on pre-degree and access courses.
A pre-degree is a one or two semester course at the University which, when completed successfully, will guarantee you a place on the first year of a degree or diploma at London Met.
Access courses are held at our partner colleges. These programmes prepare students for entry into undergraduate degrees by providing knowledge and skills in specific subject areas.
Our professional and short courses will give you a recognised industry qualification or prepare you for professional body exams.
They are developed with industry bodies and professional organisations.
Alternatively speak to one of the course leaders at one of our course open evenings.
Our European and Language Services department (ELS) provides a range of English and foreign language courses and translation services.
In 2011, London Metropolitan University received the highest accolade in the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) review. The QAA is an independent body that conducts rigorous assessments of universities and colleges in the UK every five years. They make sure that these institutions are delivering awards, including degrees, of the very highest quality.
The results of the Review were published on 15 April 2011. More on the QAA here.

Midland's newest restaurant will open it's doors to the general public on Monday, Feb. 18.
The new Olive Garden will open at 6803 Eastman Ave. at 11 a.m. — creating 165 new jobs.
The Olive Garden in Midland is the newest Olive Garden in the family of more than 800 local restaurants that offer what they describe as a genuine Italian dining experience.
The 7,441 square-foot restaurant can host up to 246 guests and features a design that is inspired by traditional farmhouses found in Tuscany, Italy.
Olive Garden design teams traveled to Italy to work with Italian architects Fabio and Lucia Zingarelli and the result is a restaurant design that recreates the warmth and simple beauty of a Tuscan farmhouse.
"I'm honored to have the opportunity to lead the Midland restaurant and a great team at Olive Garden," said Joseph Vrable, newly named general manager. "In addition to our Italian specialties, including signature items like our homemade soups, garden fresh salad and warm, garlic breadsticks, the menu at the Midland Olive Garden features a variety of Italian favorites and new offerings, such as our 3-Course Italian Dinner."
In a news release Monday, the restaurant chain said Vrable brings extensive restaurant industry experience to his new position. He has been with Olive Garden for 13 years, most recently as general manager of the Olive Garden in Saginaw.
Olive Garden is now accepting applications for employment and to be considered for an interview, apply online at www.OliveGarden.com/Careers.

Here's the underside of the F-Bomb, revealing the two complete fuel systems (required by the engine's dual injectors) plumbed by Bent Custom & Performance. Each system includes a 31/44-inch feed line and a 11/42-inch return line under the frame. Knowing what we know now, we would have started eight months ago by fabricating two sheetmetal tunnels in the floor of the car for the fuel lines. Instead, we'll need to make steel plates to cover the lines.

Since it might be a resource for some of you, I felt like He wanted me to interrupt my fast to share it. Its hook is a hybrid between "Look Down," the opening song of Les Miserables, and "O Come, O Come Emmanuel." I've kind of allowed myself an exception for my sermon podcasts over Advent as well since they don't require investing extra effort into blogging. Below are the lyrics; here's the audio:

Charlotte, N.C., June 26, 2012
— North Carolina's approval last month of a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage sparked opposition in many communities across the country, including among the public health community.
"Public health is fundamentally about human rights," said Georges Benjamin, MD, FACP, FACEP (E), executive director of the American Public Health Association, which is holding its Midyear Meeting this week in Charlotte. "Our work to assure the health of all people is founded on principles of equality and justice. A ban denying citizens equal rights runs counter to our principles."
In the wake of the vote on Amendment One, many people were concerned about coming to North Carolina.
"The LGBT Caucus of the American Public Health Association requested that we still come, hold our meeting here and show our solidarity with them," said Benjamin. "We decided to come and register our deep dismay."
"We commend the people of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County and those in other parts of the state who chose not to support this ban," said Benjamin.
Founded in 1872, the APHA is the oldest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world. The association aims to protect all Americans and their communities from preventable, serious health threats and strives to assure community-based health promotion and disease prevention activities and preventive health services are universally accessible in the United States. APHA represents a broad array of health providers, educators, environmentalists, policy-makers and health officials at all levels working both within and outside governmental organizations and educational institutions.

Ed Thompson may well have been the brother of former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson but he carved out his own political legacy over the past decade. It's with great sadness that he recently died of cancer. Admitting such last year during the middle of a campaign cost him a state Senate seat but attested the honesty and decency of the man.
Thompson had quite live quite a life, from a Vegas card dealer to a prize fighter to a trucker to bar owner and even a jailbird, and he brought his real world experience to politics. Starting as the owner of a popular supper club in Tomah, Wisconsin all the way to mayor, he ran for governor in 2002 on the LP line and gained the most votes for a non-major party candidate in Wisconsin in more than half a century. Ed Thompson's biggest political legacy is bringing decentralist ideals down from the academic and hipster and cosmo realm of most libertarians to the masses. He was a precursor of the Ron Paul campaign.
Rest in Peace to a good man who fought the good fight.

LiveAS IT HAPPENED: Last match at Wilderspool
This live event has finished
- All the build-up and highlights of the match too, brought to you by Warrington Guardian editor Gareth Dunning and sports editor Mike Parsons
Funny here. Nobody wants to leave. The players are warming down, the stand is still largely full. People want to enjoy the final moments
That's it, the game is over and Wilderspool Stadium's time as a rugby league arena is over too. Some of the stars of the future have done the old dear proud tonight and will send home 800 fans both happy and a little teary eyed.
So it's Warrington Wolves u16 46 Cumbria Regional Academy u16s 16, and it is good night and God bless to Wilderspool.
And there it is. The final whistle sounds on rugby league at Wilderspool. Standing ovation
Will Johnston's try be the last one at Wilderspool?
Ryan Johnston adds his second try and Liam Aspin adds the extras to move Wolves 46-16 ahead with three minutes to play
So history is ticking on here. Last minute or two of more than 100 years of rugby league at Wilderspool. One more try makes 50
The first game under floodlights was in 1965. When Warrington beat Wigan in friendly.
I mention this only as it is not on tonight and is getting murky
and Jordan Williams goes over again after Cumbria's lost possession. Jake Carter bangs over the extras for 40-16 after 64 minutes.
Looks like Warrington will say goodbye to Wilderspool on a winning note thanks to Jordan Williams steaming forward to catch Jake Carter's high kick and racing home. Carter converts.
John Garner, from Paddington, explains more about the 'Bevan' effect.
"I felt it when there was a scrum. The ball would go in and there would be a rush. As it went from scrum half, to stand off, to both centres, the anticipation would be rising. Then it went to Bevan. You never knew what he was going to follow but you knew he would score."
impact hooker Ryan Johnston bustles his way over from dummy half and Jake Carter converts to restore the 12-point cushion after 60 minutes
Kieran Walker is put over by Callum Kinrade as Cumbria cut the gap to 22-16 with 20 minutes remaining.
You can't really talk Wilderspool without talking Brian Bevan. Here's the stats. He scored seven tries against Leigh here in 1948. In front of 20,000 fans. He repeated it against Bramley in 1953. His 66th of that season.
His final game was in 1962 and his 700th try was notched up here in 1959 against Blackpool
A trademark Lee Briers cross-field kick and Joel Monaghan leap was replicated by Jake Carter and Sam Kershaw for an important opening try to the second half from Warrington. Jake also added another touch line conversion to move his side 22-12 in front.
And sports editor Mike Parsons shared his memories of Wilderspool.
Read his recollections here
Check out our pics from Mike Boden.

Not a bad half from the two teams, some really entertaining stuff. One lovely raid by Warrington must have included half a dozen offloads out of the tackle and a Solomona-esque round-the-man reverse pass from Joe Buckley that eventually led to prop Jordan Williams being held up short. A couple of penalties were conceded and Cumbria made the most of it in the final 10 minutes of the half. Hopefully Gary Chambers can get his lads back on track for the start of the second half.
Half time here. Good to know the loud speaker system is as good as it was in days gone by...
Jean Wolfarth (appropriate name) is here tonight with husband John and son David.
A fan in the 1970s, she brought flowers with her in memory of former player Mike Kelly.
"For me, the best memories were if watching John Bevan and Parry Gordon, they were my favourite players to watch."
Cumbria are back in this game after tries by Connor Fitzsimmons and Jacques O'Neill, both converted by Mews for a half time score of 16-12.
When was the Brian Bevan stand opened I hear you ask? Well in 1983 actually.
The previous one was destroyed in a fire in 1982
The sun is starting to set and the game has settled down after that initial scoring burst. 30 minutes gone. 16-0
Some great try line defence keeps Cumbria at bay from their first threatening attacks
Mal Jones, of Willis Street, recalls that match as his favourite.
"The absolute number one was that win in 1978. It was the highlight."
And Ken Wooding, from Bewsey, agreed.
"That game stands out. games like that meant everything to us."
The scoreboard is still very much operational even if the clock has lost its way with time
The first Australian tour side to visit was in 1908. Warrington won 10-3. The Wire boast a remarkable record of eight wins over the Aussies. The last in 1978. Which leads us neatly to our next memory...
Jack Roper weaves a determined route to the line to extend the lead. Jake Carter's goal makes it 16-0 after 12 minutes.
Opposite winger Sam Kershaw is next to go over, thanks to a lovely offload near the line from hooker George Moore. Jake Carter adds the touch line conversion for 10-0.
Rugby league writer Dave Hadfield is here tonight. Also author of many rugby league books, he talked of his favourite moments.
"I think that one special moment would be Paul Cullen being sent down the tunnel and still fighting with Andy Goodway.
"The atmosphere then was like a zoo. It was known as that. But it was a terrific atmosphere."
Joe Buckley crosses for the first try, 4-0, to Wolves
It is a little eerie looking out across two empty ends of this old ground. I'm sure the spirit of Wire is all around the place though, including those looking down from heaven as absent friends tonight
Well the stand is packed tonight. Lots of cameras out as fans get their last glimpse of the famous old ground
One of tonight's mascots is nine-year-old James Williamson, a pupil at Fairfield St Elphins Primary School and son of former Wire winger or centre Paul Williamson
We'll be bringing some stats as well through the evening.
Here's the first
The first game here at Wilderspool was 1898 when Warrington drew 3-3 with Swinton
Wolves u16s: Regan Croft; Joe Buckley, Ryan Taylor, Jack Roper, Sam Kershaw; Bruce Martinus, Jake Carter; Jordan Wilkins, George Moore, Declan Rodgers, Ethan Duffy, Alex Tankard, Ellis Robson. Rahan Patel, Oliver De Petrrillo, Rony Frank, Liam Aspin
A nice touch tonight to see Jack Roper playing in the centre for Wolves. He is the son of Jon Roper, A former Great Britain international who starred in the primrose and blue in the 90s
Of course only the Brian Bevan Stand is open tonight. The terraces are closed. Feeling somewhat out of place next to Mike here in the press box! But my 'usual' spot on the 10 metre line near the Fletcher End resembles something of an overgrown garden...
The Wolves youngsters are going through their warm ups. Kick off is 7
And we will be sharing lots of memories through the night. You can add your favourites by commenting at the bottom of the article. Or by tweeting with #wilderspool
Wilderspool favourite Gary Chambers is coach tonight. While legends Mark Forster and Mike Nicholas are currently pitch side.
They are delivering the pre game team talk to these Wolves youngsters. Plenty of appearances clocked up between those two!
With a tear in the eye, the end is nigh for Wilderspool Stadium.
The ground, home to Warrington Wolves from 1898 to 2003, will shut its doors to rugby league action for the final time tonight.
Wolves and Cumbria Regional Academy under 16s teams will be treading turf once graced by Wire legends like Brian Bevan, Gerry Helme, Les Boyd, Lee Briers and Allan Langer and will surely give their all in such heralded company.
The lads are just warming up on a swish-looking playing surface that would put some current Super League grounds to shame. The rest of the stadium is very tired and the whole place will be knocked down later this summer
So the crowd is filling up for this historic night. Lots of memories shared with fans. Parry Gordon, Paul Cullen and one Brian Bevan mentioned a lot,

Davis is poised to dramatically change its water source after voters Tuesday appeared to pass a measure enabling the city to draw from the Sacramento River.
Measure I asked whether Davis should move ahead on the $245 million Surface Water Project with neighboring Woodland to supplement the cities' groundwater with Sacramento River water.
The measure was leading 55 percent to 45 percent late Tuesday with nearly 13,000 ballots counted, according to the Yolo County Elections Office. Voters decided through a special all-mail contest, and officials had tallied most ballots ahead of the election's close Tuesday.
The project is designed to supply 30 million gallons of water a day to the cities 12 million to Davis and 18 million to Woodland.
Supporters said a river source would ensure a clean, long-term water supply for Davis while saving millions of dollars by working with Woodland. The project was backed by Davis and regional leaders and area trade unions. Davis Mayor Joe Krovoza called the turnout "tremendous for a mail-in ballot. It shows how this community put its arms around this issue."
"We have entered the modern world of water management," Krovoza said. Adding river water as a source, he suggested, would "extend the life of our groundwater forever."
The two Yolo County cities had worked since 2009 on the ambitious plan. The need became ever more urgent, both cities' leaders said, by aging wells, deteriorating water quality and quickly approaching deadlines for state and federal clean water requirements.
But opponents said the project and planned rate hikes to fund it were far too costly, came at the expense of other regional alternatives and overstated deterioration of the wells that supply the city's water.
Opponents did not concede late Tuesday.
"Our point is that they don't have a mandate," said Nancy Price, who worked on the No on I campaign. "First, the votes are too close, and we still have to see if the rates are approved."
Davis' share of the project would cost the city as much as $116 million before water purchase, operations and other costs.
Opponents called on Davis leaders to renew talks with West Sacramento to treat and furnish Davis' water supply. They also suggested that the city craft a regional water solution with West Sacramento, Woodland and UC Davis, instead of the planned water treatment plant and pipeline at the 17,300-acre Conaway Ranch on the Sacramento River.
Woodland, plagued by aging infrastructure, poor water quality and impending 2016 clean water deadlines, had already begun to move ahead on the project last summer.
Woodland Mayor Skip Davies praised Davis council members for their work on the project. If Measure I had failed, Davies said, his city was prepared to go it alone.
"We think the residents of Davis made a wise choice, " Davies said.
In Davis, disputes and anxiety over the cost, size and scope of the project dominated.
City leaders delayed a November city vote asking residents to support the project until March, while they considered several smaller, less expensive options, including a deal to have West Sacramento treat and supply Davis' water. But the cities did not reach agreement.
Concerns about the influence of out-of-town unions and developers on the Davis decision that arose in an earlier race for City Council resurfaced in the final days of the Measure I fight.
Opponents called the project, partially on land controlled by Sacramento developer Angelo K. Tsakopoulos, a river grab to attract development to the city. The proposal is backed by regional political leaders.
But Krovoza said the shut down of a major city well in late February for manganese contamination proved the urgency of moving ahead on the project.
"We can't run a city of 65,000 with a university with a daytime population of 55,000 on groundwater alone," Krovoza said last week.

DETROIT A Giants team for the ages won its second World Series title in three seasons by prevailing in a pulsating, extra-inning clincher by a razor-thin score of 4-3 over the heavily favored Detroit Tigers on Sunday the final chapter in an improbable four-game Giants sweep.
Giants closer Sergio Romo struck out Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera, considered by many the best hitter in the game, to capture baseball's golden trophy for San Francisco on a bitterly cold night of wind and rain at Comerica Park.
Romo was mobbed by teammates on the Comerica Park diamond as stunned Tigers fans sat in disbelief. But a hearty band of Giants followers celebrated the unprecedented success of these remarkable Giants.
Not since winning the World Series back to back in 1921 and 1922, when the Giants were based in New York, had this venerable baseball franchise won multiple titles in such a short period of time.
The Giants nearly left San Francisco twice, in 1976 and 1992, amid big losses on the field and to their bottom line.
Now, they are not only the kings of the baseball world they are the rare elite franchise based on the West Coast.
"It seemed like all the pieces fit together," said Matt Cain, Sunday's starting pitcher. "Guys stepped up big."

A professional-grade bib with a unique graphic for serious cycling.
You'll be stoked to cover your working half with the Hincapie Legado Collection Classico Bib Short because it features the same fabric and technology that the BMC Racing Team uses to charge through climbs and step onto podiums. This bib provides pro-level performance thanks to its superior lightweight, close-fitting fabrics, and four-way stretch Hincapie Pro Chamois, and its exclusive Legado graphic sets you apart from the crowd.
- The Pro Chamois uses microfiber-covered, double-layered perforated foam to provide breathable, chafe-free support in the saddle all day long
- AT2 Tour Lycra Power fabric fits close to your skin as it stretches and breathes with your hard push up the pack
- The AT2 Transition Lycra panel fabric wicks moisture and quickly dries while you train or race
- DimpleTek leg cuff fabric holds the bib in place, wicks moisture, and uses a unique pattern to break up the airflow and keep you aero
- The soft diamond mesh bib top enables lots of venting for the hottest part of your body

Good with weird flaw
Member since
I like Hincapie stuff because I think their fabric is top notch. The mesh panels are great. The chamois is a little lacking in thickness. The designs look very sharp in my opinion. The major problem I have is the bottom of the zipper scrapes up the crotch area on my bibs. I'm going to have to do a little Magyvering because it's becoming a real issue that could cut the life of the shorts... well short...
5'9" 155 lbs M fits great in both jersey and bibs
Expected a bit better, but not bad
Brian W.
Member since
I picked these up over the holidays due to the 1/2 price sale. The bibs are made of top quality material and look great. For comparison sake, I'm 6'1" (34" inseam) and 165lbs. I ordered a Large which is about right. The downside for me is the legs aren't as long as I typically like and the lack of grippers make the shorts 'ride up'. The shoulder straps are also a bit loose. All in all, they are not bad for the price but there are better shorts out there.
Very comfortable
Member since
I'm glad I read the comments before I ordered, so I'm paying it forward, I'm 5'9" with a 34 inch waist and the Large fits me well, I think even a 36 inch waist would fit fine too. The red is more of a burgundy, I was hoping to match it with some other jerseys but oh well, I actually bought the jersey as well so I have the full kit. Very comfortable.
6'3", 205 lbs., size XL fits perfectly
Member since
6'3" at 205 lbs., slim with a slight paunch - size XL fits perfectly
Have never been disappointed with Hincapie clothing. Well made, comfortable, durable. Wish they carried other colors.
Good ones
Member since
The fit is a little different. 6 foot 185 and the XL fits, but i could most likely use an L. The straps are wide and long, but the fit is nice and the non-grip legs are no issue. Good bibs.
Love them
Jimmy Lyons
Member since
So far this is the best pair of bibs I have. Absolutely love them. the chamois is the best feel that I have tried.
Member since
The straps are very wide and long. Thin, nice fabric.
Nice bib shorts
Member since
First of all, these run pretty large for the sizing chart. I'm heavy, and on the chart should have been a XXL, but when I got them they were huge on me. Exchanged for an XL, and they're still loose enough to wrinkle around my hips/butt. The bib straps are pretty long, too, but I expected that because they would have been made for someone much taller in the 'girth/height' scale. Other than that, they are very comfortable, and the lack of a gripper leg is actually much more comfortable than I would have expected. The stitching and chamois are very good, and the graphics are sharp and look nice. Great deal, too, if you can get them on Bonktown, but not bad either at full RC price.

Shia LaBeouf Says He's Quitting the Biz… But Does He Mean It?
January 10, 2014 Celebs on Social Media
Poor Shia LaBeouf. Ever since he was caught plagiarizing, he's been sending a seemingly never-ending number of tweets, apologetic and otherwise, culminating in a final proclamation of his retirement.
In light of the recent attacks against my artistic integrity, I am retiring from all public life.
— Shia LaBeouf (@thecampaignbook) January 10, 2014
He added, "My love goes out to those who have supported me," and followed up with a tweet that simply read, "#stopcreating."
Last month, the "Transformers" actor was accused of copying (almost word for word) one of author Daniel Clowes' graphic novellas for his short film "HowardCantour.com."
Once it was discovered, LaBeouf apologized again and again, even going so far as to writing a sorry message in the sky on New Year's Day, which was Twitter fodder for some other celebs like Lena Dunham.
What Is Shia LaBeouf's Deal with Daniel Clowes?
Then, weirdly, Shia seemed to turn around and mock Clowes by tweeting scans of a cease and desist letter from the author's lawyer.
Whether LaBeouf is serious about retiring or not, we will be seeing him in the upcoming Lars von Trier film, "Nymphomaniac" and the war flick "Fury" with Brad Pitt.

MAUSTON, Wis. (WSAU) -- A Mauston man is going to try doing something that hasn't been done in over seventeen years.
Ken Van Doren is a former Mauston City Council member and retired building contractor running as a Republican, and trying to unseat incumbent Democrat Ron Kind of La Crosse for Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional district. Kind has held the seat since 1997 when Steve Gunderson left office.
Van Doren is making his announcement in a series of stops, which include the Portage County Library in Stevens Point at 11:00 a.m. Friday. He was in La Crosse and Eau Claire Thursday. The conservative candidate has criticized Washington's actions he claim often violate the Constitution. Van Doren also believes Obamacare should be voluntary for patients and providers. He is critical of incumbent Ron Kind's support of what he calls failed values and policies.
Steve Gunderson and Ron Kind are the only two people to hold that seat since 1981. In Wisconsin's history, 10 Democrats and 17 Republicans have represented that district.

3 Iguanas is an amazing rental property that is perfect for a romantic getaway or a family trip. Bring along your friends and rent the whole villa. We stayed right on the water in the three floor bungalow and spent our days diving and our evenings in the infinity pool. During our stay we took in the local culture and were pampered by the staff. 3 Iguanas is more than a home away from, it is one of those rare spots where you feel comfortable in your posh setting.

I just returned from Placencia. I stayed at Chabil Mar Villas. Beautiful place. Tranquil, peaceful, wonderfully appointed and terrific service. One thing that really set it apart was its location. I was not beholden to the resort's restaurant, which is very good, but I could just walk along the beach to all of the other restaurants, bars and shop options the village had available. I saw the accolades they had been awarded and booked directly with them. What a great choice I made.

Chabil Mar Villas a luxury belize beach resort is an ownership development but you can rent their beautiful villas. It is absolutely gorgeous and the staff are very helpful. It is within a cart ride of downtown Placencia. They have butler service but it is very reasonable and the food from the kitchen is wonderful. Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, lobster (in season). There is a long pier that you can eat at or go snorkeling. There are two infinity pools and the beach is well taken care of. This is the link http://www.chabilmarvillas.com/ It is well worth it.

We stayed at a lodge on one of the small cayes about 10 miles off the coast of Placencia, Whipray Caye Lodge. Run by owners Julian and Beverly Cabral, the caye is lovely, the cabanas basic but comfortable, and the food was incredible, served family style and all-you-can-eat. Snorkeling around the caye revealed a wonderful coral garden, fiercely protected by the Cabrals in their role as stewards of the environment, and members of the World Heritage Alliance.

To organize a video session, the leader can send links to participants through common online channels such as Skype, Facebook and Google Talk. When the users click on the links, the Polycom interface comes up in a browser window along with any other elements used in the session, such as a whiteboard. The back-end systems can adapt the quality of the session to the screen size and power of the user's device, Polycom says.
Polycom will make CloudAXIS work through social-networking platforms by tapping into open APIs (application programming interfaces), Levenson said.
Even though there's a plug-in required, there's a world of difference between that and making users install an application, said Ira Weinstein, an analyst at Wainhouse Research. For one thing, installing an application usually requires administrator rights that the end user may not have. Combining browser-based access with a consistent user interface should also help administrators, he said. "I can give you help when you have problems, because we're in the same UI," Weinstein said.
As new technologies such as Polycom's make it easier for more employees to take part, videoconferencing may become a regular part of work, said Forrester Research analyst Henry Dewing.
"The utilization of desktop video in the daily lives of information workers is a key tipping point for the video industry," Dewing said. "That will then mean IT will be expected to supply that, just like they're expected to supply a telephone or an email address."
Also on Monday, Polycom is announcing a software-based MCU (multipoint control unit), the Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s, which adapts video streams for different types of end systems participating in a call.
Traditional MCUs are appliances with large numbers of DSPs (digital signal processors) to convert the video. Software-based MCUs can run on standard x86 servers and be moved around in virtualized environments, Levenson said.
Moving away from expensive, dedicated MCUs should help enterprises and service providers to scale up their videoconferencing systems more efficiently, Weinstein said. "This thing is chewing on video all day long, for every participant," Weinstein said.
To implement its new software-based approach, Polycom is using SVC (Scalable Video Coding), a standard that offers a more efficient way to deliver different quality levels of video. Polycom says using SVC boosts the video capacity of its RealPresence Platform by three times.
The big product rollout on Monday also includes a variety of new video endpoints, including the RealPresence Group Series and Ultra-Slim RealPresence VisualEdge Executive Desktop. Polycom is also updating its RealPresence software for PCs and mobile devices.

The "Fire Red" Air Jordan 4 originally released as one of the first four colorways in the Air Jordan 4 series. While the images displayed are of the retro "Mars Blackmon" model from 2006, there is no denying the stature of the base fire red colorway. Many would argue that this is the best true Bulls models of all time.

In Simulation: Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog flightstick and throttle
Andy Mahood takes to the skies, race tracks, and battlefields in our monthly In Simulation column to showcase the best that sim games have to offer. This month, Andy test drives the Ferrari of flightsticks and shows how it can take your flight sim experience to the next level.
"Always use the right tool for the job." Sage advice from my father many years ago, but his words rang especially true this past month when I finally got my paws on Thrustmaster's latest HOTAS Warthog A-10C flightstick and throttle.Weighing in at almost 15 pounds, the mostly metal HOTAS Warthog is the Rolls Royce of Hands-On-Throttle-And-Stick controllers for current-generation flight sims. It ain't cheap (the best online price I could find was $350), but if you're serious about your virtual combat flying, it's one of the best investments you can make.
