Colonial Modernities by Peter Scriver
Book DescriptionA carefully crafted selection of essays from international experts, this book explores the effect of colonial architecture and space on the societies involved - both the colonizer and the colonized. Focusing on British India and Ceylon, the essays explore the discursive tensions between the various different scales and dimensions of such 'empire-building' practices and constructions. Providing a thorough exploration of these tensions, Colonial Modernities challenges the traditional literature on the architecture and infrastructure of the former European empires, not least that of the British Indian 'Raj'. Illustrated with seventy-five halftone images, it is a fascinating and thoroughly grounded exposition of the societal impact of colonial architecture and engineering.

Radware Platform Supports High-Performance App Acceleration
The next-generation AS5 platform, based on Radware's three-tiered architecture, doubles the capacity of the company's previous platform and boosts app speeds.Radware on April 24 will up the performance ante in the application-delivery controller space when it introduces its next-generation hardware platform. The new AS5 platform, based on Radwares three-tiered application delivery architecture, boasts some of the fastest speeds and deepest port density in the market, according to Michelle Blank, chief marketing officer at the companys U.S. headquarters in Mahwah, N.J.

Two years ago Radware came out with a unique three-tier architecture for application delivery switching, designed to be able to support two things: growing demand for more power, and higher density," she said.
The aggregate capacity of the new platform is 6G bps, doubled over Radwares previous high-end AS4 hardware, which supported 3G bps.

Skedulo Lens Brings Uber-Like Ease to Field Service
Field service is complex, but scheduling doesn't need to be. Skedulo has introduced SDKs that make scheduling as painless as an Uber pickup.Uber has transformed a number of industries and shifted behaviors, including how comfortable millions of people are now with scheduling a service and expecting an instant response. Understanding this, Skedulo, a mobile workforce scheduling and management company, has introduced Skedulo Lens, a framework of APIs and software development kits to enable its field service clients to offer similarly friction-free scheduling. It's a solution applicable to a variety of industries and functions, from automotive and HVAC repair services to government auditing and inspections to home visits for health care workers or house cleaners. The software development kits (SDKs) let a customer book an appointment from a company's mobile app or Web page via a clean, straightforward interface. The Skedulo site says it enables its customers to offer their customers an "Uber-like experience." Customers can also receive text-based alerts that an appointment is coming up soon or alerts about changes. "Uber has become the de facto example for how end-user experience and simplicity have solved a very complex problem and given customers the ultimate control," Skedulo CEO and co-founder Matt Fairhurst told eWEEK.
"Skedulo first saw similar benefits for back-office and field workers by focusing on simple user experiences that are a joy to use and the efficiencies and adoption found in quality application design," he continued. "We built this product with the mindset: What would it mean for a field worker to wake up every morning excited to open up and start using Skedulo, in the same way that they open Instagram, Facebook and Twitter?"

<< , for the use of repetition in the landscape, each to his own. >>
Andrew, when I first hit upon this hosta thing I could lay out and design
with little or no problem. Why not, I was an art and a home ec. major in
school and both of areas of study deal intimately with design. So with my
first hosta I would buy at least three, for groupings you know, even if they
cost twenty dollars apiece, then so be it. (I later discovered that they
could be much more expensive) Then I ran out of space, and I am no where near
five hundred. So I started getting rid of my duplicates. Then I started
breaking my back to dig up more beds, watching my children with their soulful
eyes say, "what about the yard Mom?"
Having said all the above my number one priority is to get the plants in the
ground, number two is to not break my back. The kids are old enough now to
not need a yard for play. I have eliminated all color from my garden. Just
white impatients because we absolutely cannot take anything else that would
add to the busyness. I am still no were near five hundred but I am moving
pollen around and preparing to grow the seedlings during the long winter
Point is I am happy and I have made so many good friends and know so many
wonderful people, from Norway to New Zealand to England to Guatemala, right
When I retire I will have organized beds with all the elements of design
included but not a priority now. Nuf said, N.

FDI in Crisis and Recovery: Lessons from the 1997-98 Asian Crisis
Is foreign direct investment (FDI) more resilient at the onset of an economic crisis and the subsequent economic collapse in a given host country compared to other forms of foreign capital inflows? Are affiliates of multinational enterprises in a crisis-hit country better equipped to withstand a crisis and to aid the recovery process by readjusting their investment, production and sales strategies compared to local firms? This paper examines these and related issues in the context of the 1997-98 economic crisis in East Asia. The paper starts with a scene setting surveys of FDI policy and the overall investment climate in the five crisis-hit countries (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea and the Philippines), with emphasis on changes in investment policy introduced as part of the crisis management package. It then looks at the behaviour of FDI compared to other forms of capital flow after the onset of the crisis, followed by an examination of trends in FDI flows in the recovery process and the comparative performance of affiliates of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in economic adjustment. The findings suggest that FDI was indeed a relatively stable source of foreign capital in the crisis context and that MNE affiliates were instrumental in ameliorating the severity of economic collapse and facilitating the recovery process.

|[jira] Commented: (JCR-65) ChainedPersistenceManager
|Sat, 02 Apr 2005 08:02:16 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-65?page=comments#action_62026 ] Edgar Poce commented on JCR-65: ------------------------------- After many conversations with the dev team about persistence manager responsibilities I feel more in favor of non smart implementations. Now I see the chained persistence manager like a home made workaround and I think it should be discarded. Nevertheless, I like the idea of legacy system integration, which was the motivation of this implementation. I think that a framework for integrating legacy systems could be very useful. > ChainedPersistenceManager > ------------------------- > > Key: JCR-65 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-65 > Project: Jackrabbit > Type: New Feature > Reporter: Edgar Poce > Priority: Minor > Attachments: 05-03-15-chained-persistence.zip, uml-class.gif > > Overview > The package contains the classes that provide chaining of Persistence Managers support through an implementation of the chain of responsibility pattern. > The ChainedPersistenceManager class is the chain's external controller. > The current implementation uses composition instead of inheritance. The concrete handlers (PersistenceManager) are private members instead of subclasses. > For reading commands no evaluation is performed, the ChainedPersistenceManager returns the response of the first handler that finds the object. > For writing commands, the PersistenceManagerHandler class delegates conditionally the persistence calls to the concrete implementation based on a custom evaluation. > Custom PersistenceManagerEvaluator implementations can be set through configuration. > Custom listeners can be added to the ChainedPersistenceManager class. It allows to perform custom operations on "after init" and "before close" events. > Warning > This package should be used only in a couple of cases and none of them is the best practice. > * Sharing jcr data with others systems through a custom PersistenceManager > * Integrating a legacy system > Reliability, integrity and performance of the PersistenceManager are *crucial* to the overall stability & performance of the repository. if e.g. the data that a PersistenceManager is based upon is allowed to change through external means the integrity of the repository would be at risk (think of referential integrity/ node references e.g.). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - If you want more information on JIRA, or have a bug to report see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

The Scottish Football Association have warned MSPs to stay out of the debate over a British Olympic team. Members of a Scottish Parliament committee agreed on Tuesday to write to Fifa and other governing bodies to ask for clarification on their position over the prospect of a unified United Kingdom team taking part in 2012. Fifa claim the independence of the four home nations would not be jeopardised by participation in the London games.
However, the SFA have consistently countered that they are in no position to give such assurances as Fifa members are free to reject such promises in future years. Their counterparts in Wales and Northern Ireland have backed their stance, although the Football Association have embraced the prospect of a Team GB.
The SFA chief executive, Gordon Smith, is "extremely concerned" by the Holyrood petitions committee's decision to get involved after debating a petition opposing the prospect of a Team GB.
Smith said: "If there is one thing that Fifa dislikes, it is political involvement in football issues. This is something that we would, of course, have told the members of the committee had they sought to ask us our views.
"It is also the case that, if they write to Fifa, then they will undoubtedly get a view that they have no issue with a one-off Team GB competing at the London Olympics. However, I would have thought that politicians would understand politics better than anyone.
"As we have made clear again and again it is not the view of the current Fifa members that matters – it is the views of members in the future that will count. Again, had we been asked, we would have made this clear."
The SFA recently wrote a joint letter with their Welsh and Irish counterparts outlining their opposition amid lobbying from other political figures. The culture secretary, Andy Burnham, this week insisted no player should be prevented from taking part after the SFA president, George Peat, claimed Fifa counterpart Sepp Blatter had privately undermined the governing body's assurances.
The Scottish secretary, Jim Murphy, had earlier held talks with Fifa and received assurances, which the SFA had already dismissed as unreliable. Now the SFA have told politicians and the British Olympic Association to leave the issue alone.
Smith said: "Fans are against Team GB, players are against Team GB and three out of four governing bodies are against Team GB. It is time that people at Holyrood, Westminster and the BOA stopped treating this issue as a political football and let football govern football."Reuse content

What is it, love,
but a gift from above,
all drenched and dangling with pearls?
It outlives death,
it's softer than breath,
and kills all that live in this world.
An embrace and a kiss,
is surely missed
after one's love has passed away.
But what is life
but sadness and strife
forever moolight and never a day?
Creatures of flesh
with soulds to mesh
adorned with satin and lace,
Tea and sin,
us women and men,
devils tongue and angel's face.

IMMORTALITY itself can produce dark seedlings. IMM X DUSKY GRAPE
produced mostly very dark purple seedlings, an ugly red neglecta, and a
few whites.
IMM X WHO'S YOUR DADDY produced few surviving seedlings, all pale blue.
So there seems to be some dilution possible with IMM - not entirely
Wish the darn things were fertile here! Dead end so far.

I agree. It sounds like the problem is that the client and the engine share the JVMInfo class, not that we modify the class. Any changes to that class could cause problems in such mixed setups. If we add fields/methods, it would be problematic to have the old version first in the classpath (as seen in DERBY-5429). If we remove fields/methods, it would be problematic with the new version first (as seen in this thread). Not to mention what happens if the value of a field, or the implementation of a method, changes between two versions. The rule we have followed so far, has been that only interfaces that contain constants only, can be present in more than one jar file. (An exception was made for the sanity classes, since they'll only be in the debug jars, which was thought to be less serious.) So JVMInfo shouldn't be used by the client according to that rule. But even if we fix this on trunk so that the client doesn't use that class, there could still be collisions between old clients and new engines (but not the other way around), unless we also rename the JVMInfo class on trunk. -- Knut Anders

This weekend i was in ChinaTown in Sydney and saw some cans of drink that i had never seen before. Naturally i bought them but when i drank ...
A can opener and a suitable can. Heres mine.
I just used a can opener and the top came right off. This might not work with old openers but should come off easily.
I just used a butter knife for this but it would be better with a file or something. BE CAREFUL, it does have sharp edges and i dont want anyone ...
Wash thoroughly to remove any dirt or bits of metal.
Fill with and COLD drink and enjoy =). Dont use hot drinks as the cup likes to mimic the heat of the drink and may burn.

Skip to comments.Senator Lisa Murkowski Sells Out Conservatives Again
Posted on 07/18/2010 7:36:48 AM PDT by paudio
RS Insider has been informed that there is a strong push by Senate Appropriations Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) to pass S. 1011, the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act, also known as the Akaka Bill, this year with the active support of Senator Murkowski. The bill, sponsored by Senator Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii), sets up an unconstitutional race based separate government entity for Native Hawaiians The lone Republican co-sponsor is none other than Senator Lisa Murkowski. This is the same Lisa Murkowski who was elected Vice Chairwoman of the whole Republican Conference in June of last year and is supposed to lead against terrible liberal ideas not for them.
(Excerpt) Read more at redstate.com ...
And this is a surprise?
when are the "Maine wonder twins" up for re-election????
" also known as the Akaka Bill, "
You can't make this up..
There is an alternative:
I wonder how long before these native Hawaiians have their own Casinos and how much prime Hawaiian real estate are they supposed to get?
There's more to it than that.
Everyone in Hawaii who is not "native" would assume second class citizenship with passage of this bill.
Up next is Sharia law for us from those "special" ROP piece-lovin' rats.
2012 and 2014
Kind of hoping there are some "Mamma Grizzlies" in Maine.
Do ANY Republicans have an inkling of what true leadership is?
For the prosecution I submit this:
Denny Hastert
And this:
Add Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Scott Brown, Richard Lugar, Lindsay Graham, to your portrait gallery.
I lived in Hawaii for several years. It is the most blatantly racist anti-white state in the U.S.
Senator Lisa Murkowski is exhibit no. ONE of why voting for a RINO as the lesser of two evils is insane.
Death to all RINOs (politically speaking, of course)
Now I live pretty rural, but nearly every Repub I know says they are voting for Miller, they are sick of Lisa and her RINO ways. Everybody knows she will revert back from her as of late conservative political campaign to her good old meet with Obama about this vote or that. No joke, I even got two local Indians to change to repub status so they can vote for Miller. I vote for this dem downriver Indian for state Senate so they can vote for Miller. Also have my kids absentee ballots so they won't miss the vote due to school starting. Me thinks it's going to be an upset like when Palin beat Lisa's dad in primary 51% to 19%. Sad thing is every last repub has t vote for Lisa this Nov if she does win. Can't have another Begich like many freepers would say.
Really, I didn't know that. So other than super corrupt Chicago, zero has never lived in any place that wasn't anti-white. And I suppose listening to Jeremiah Wright made up for any lack of anti-whiteness in Chicago. Our post racial POTUS is a racist.
And, even tho' he's retiring,(Thank GOD!) let's not forget "Cryin'" Voinovich!
I'll have to ditto Eska here - everyone I know/talk with here in Los Anchorage is talking Miller - mostly because he isn't Lisa.
A lot of business owners support Lisa, tho for the life of me, I cannot figure out why.
Time will tell as they say - many hope she goes down in defeat with number that make Daddy's loss seem minor.
THe next step is to get rid of Marxist Markie.
LOL! Ain't this the truth?! Conservative Patriots Group has endorsed Joe Miller since the beginning. As a member of the Vetting Committee, I have to say that we have worked VERY hard to weed out the RINOs in this primary, both incumbents and hopefuls. There is a LOT of talent out there. Some, we really liked, but knew they just were unelectable at this time. Others shone like lasers. I pray we have done it right.
Miller has a LOT of really outstanding qualifications. He has a Bronze Star, is a West Point graduate, and a businessman. (The beard is a standard Alaskan feature)
I forgot Voinovich. If McCain is defeated in the Arizona primary there is no telling what mischief he will engage in during a lame duck session. He may decide to go out in a blaze of "non partisan" glory!
>>>The Murkowski position today is preposterous. Native Alaskans in her own state, and Indian Tribes for that matter, lived in distinct communities, did not intermarry at significant rates, and typically maintained some kind of local or tribal government since Western contact. Our Constitution contemplated dealing with Indian tribes in the light of that history. Congress regularly dealt with these issues when admitting new states. To establish a new law that would cut up the nation based on race flies in the face of the history of dealing with Native Alaskans and Indian Tribes.<<<
Since I am living right now in an Alaskan Bush village in which a majority of people are Athabascan... yes, the kind of liberal apartheid proposed in Hawaii is disgusting. However, the writer here is absolutely wrong about intermarriage among Alaskan Natives. In fact, every Native family here in our little village has at least one relative who is non-Native. Some of my Native kids have had blonde hair and blue eyes. And I'm not just talking about mixed-race marriages between those of European and Native heritage, either - we have kids with Japanese mothers, Polynesian fathers, Filipinos, African-Americans, the whole gamut.
The fact that every kid from those unions considers themselves to be Native is an interesting sidelight.
It's also a fact, that at least in this village, those kids who are not Native in any way are treated well. That isn't true in some villages, where Natives treat outsiders in the same manner Klan treated the sons and daughters of slaves. Without the lynching, of course - yet. Racism is alive and well among many in the Native population, though.
In a way I can see the Hawaiian viewpoint. After all, until the Americans arrived, there was a thriving kingdom on the islands, complete with feudal lords and so on. Here in Alaska, indigenous people were working with Paleolithic tool kits and walking through the landscapes with small family groups, so there is no memory of political influence in the modern sense. The memory of tribal affiliation is strong, however.
And yes, sometimes Lisa is a doofus. You should have seen her father as governor. The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.
The term is "Local"; meaning anyone who is not white or black. In Hawaii, you can be born in Hawaii of parents, grandparents, great grandparents - born in the islands back all the way to 1790, and not be considered "Native" or "Local". If you are white, you are a "Haole". The relatively few blacks in Hawaii are referred to as "Popolo".
No Caucasian is ever referred to as "Local" or "Hawaiian". (Occasionally "Local haole" may be used to describe members of well established, long time Caucasian families but never "Hawaiian or "Native")
OTOH, if you have brown eyes, dark skin and dark hair, you will be described (And accepted) as "Local": i.e. "The suspect was described as a "Local male"...
...even if you just jumped ship from a Mexican fishing boat.
Just call me "Kimo"
BTW, I lived on Oahu for thirty years. It is an extremely racist society where the annual "Kill haole day" in public schools is well known and white people keep their kids home.
Interestingly, there are relatively few blacks in Hawaii. Amusingly, they sometimes refer to themselves as "Royal Hawaiians".
There you go. A virtual Wall of Wimps. I included the former Senator Warner as he represented my state, Virginia.
I believe she's up for reelection this year. The big news was that Palin endorsed her primary opponent.
Warner was a prize wasn't he? Fortunately a few do retire before they are carried out in a casket. Others like Byrd and Strom Thurmond have no where else to go. Orin Hatch is another aging (76) Republican whose spine continues to weaken with each passing year.
Goodness man, fade off into the sunset already.
Amen. When my parents enrolled me into a Catholic elementary school there, the head nun said that I would be called "haole," relentlessly, and I should just get used to it.
Substitute the racial epithet of your choice in her admonition.
The current US Senate has 27 members aged 70 or more. Another two members will reach age 70 within the next 12 months.
Some people just don't know when it is time to go.
Wall of Wimps, that' what we have, and that's what Republican primary voters seem to want all the time. Orrin G. Hatch should be up there too, but when he was first elected in 1976, he was a roaring conservative. The EMK taught him a few tricks.
From Wikipedia:Although a conservative Republican, Hatch is noted for his willingness to cross party lines to get legislation passed. He notably formed a longstanding legislative partnership with the late Edward M. Kennedy, a liberal Democrat from Massachusetts.
Hatch was one of the architects and advocates of the expansion of H-1b visas and has generally been an advocate of looser immigration policy, which upsets most members of his delegation in Utah. He also proposed the somewhat controversial DREAM Act, which would grant state-subsidized higher education to illegal immigrants.
Yep, a scumbag.
Yes, but UT's admired scumbag. And not as bad as Lovable Lindsey of SC
Lisa needs to be chucked.
So do her east coast stepsisters but I don't have much hope for that.

Has he, God forbid, actually decided to invest in something?
Peter Jones aside, the business moguls in Dragons' Den rarely require the piles of money placed on the tables next to them. For Theo Paphitis (and even more so for Deborah Meaden and Duncan Bannatyne), one rogue statistic in a presentation is proof enough that a business won't be going anywhere, and he's no stranger to the words "I'm out!". But no longer will he have the opportunity to make or break young inventors on national television. After "nine intense and fun-packed series", he's leaving the popular BBC show.
How come?
He wants to concentrate on his existing businesses and made sure to namecheck as many as possible in his departing statement: "This has not been an easy decision or one that I have taken lightly, but with the workload involved in growing my exciting, successful new lingerie brand Boux Avenue both in the UK and internationally, along with my recent purchase of the Robert Dyas retail chain and the running of the 240 Ryman stationery shops, the time felt right to give up my seat."
Is there another Dragon in line to replace him?
BBC producers now have two seats to fill, as Hilary Devey has already announced her departure after signing a Channel 4 deal. Michelle Mone, the Scottish businesswoman who runs Ultimo bras, would be a popular choice, but if producers want to spice up the show they could go farther afield. What about Cecil Chao, the Hong Kong tycoon who offered £40m to any man who could woo his lesbian daughter? The ratings would soar.

Cian Healy suffered an ankle injury in today's warm-up match against Western Force and could be a doubt for the Tests against Australia.
The Irishman went down injured during the Lions' match against Western Force and had to be carried off. Should the 25-year-old be ruled out, it would be a huge blow for the Lions.
Early indications are that the prop has not broken anything but his ankle has suffered a serious sprain.
The player, who was accused of biting an opponent earlier in the match, is expected to undergo an x-ray.
Jonathan Sexton scored the Lions' first try on Australian soil of this tour as Warren Gatland's side got off to a strong start in their warm-up game.
Gatland said before the match he was disappointed with Michael Foley's decision to field a weakened side and the gulf in quality was evident as the Lions dominated early proceedings.
Leigh Halfpenny opened the scoring with a penalty after just three minutes and Sexton extended the lead when he touched down seven minutes later. The Ireland fly-half, who faces a showdown with Owen Farrell for the Test jersey, split the home-side's defence with a show and-go and finished easily under the posts.
Force captain Matt Hodgson said before the game his side wanted to hurt the Lions but it was the tourists who courted early controversy when Healy was accused of biting Bret Sheehan. However, the Television Match Official ruled there was no case to answer.
Force reduced the score with a penalty before captain Brian O'Driscoll touched down in the left-hand corner for the Lions second try, which was converted to make it 17-3, shortly after half an hour. The Lions then suffered the blow of Healy being carried off.
Sam Warburton was again ruled out with injury but the tour skipper delivered a boost to his team-mates by completing his first full training session ahead of kick-off. The Wales and Cardiff Blues flanker did not feature in Saturday's 59-8 victory over the Barbarians but will now have his eye on a Lions debut against the Queensland Reds on Saturday.
The Reds will announce their team to face the Lions tomorrow and, although key players such as Will Genia are unavailable through international commitments, head coach Ewen McKenzie is expected to name his strongest side possible.

Mic problems on LG G2
Like the title says, I'm having problems with my LG G2's mic. If I make calls you can't hear me unless I put it on speaker phone. On video apps (Instagram, Vine) you can't hear me, but if I use my default camera app to make videos, you can. None of this had happened until I had updated to KitKat. I'm thinking about factory resetting, but I don't want to lose my info on my phone/ to scared by titanium backup. Does anyone else have any suggestions? (Neither Sprint, nor LG have been helpful)

Homeowners who are busy (or lazy–we don't judge!) love vinyl fences. Compared to wood, they're a cinch to care for. Now, don't get us wrong. We highly recommend the beauty (and smell) of a natural cedar fence. In most cases, the choice between wood and vinyl really depends on the homeowner's priorities.
But sometimes… Sometimes a vinyl fence is just plain better. Don't believe us? Here are four situations in which we believe vinyl fencing outperforms wood:
Picket Fences. White ones, to be exact. If you're looking for the classic American white picket fence, consider: A cedar fence will have to be repainted every few years or it will start to peel and look shabby. A vinyl picket fence might need a good hosing from time to time, but its base color is always going to be white. Plus, vinyl pickets are easy to replace! Anytime a homeowner is interested in a white picket fence, we strongly suggest vinyl over wood.
Pool Enclosures. Fencing your pool is no light matter. Legally, a pool is considered an "attractive nuisance," which essentially means it's on your shoulders to keep the neighborhood children out. To protect yourself from liability, a pool enclosure must be unclimbable from the outside and have a self-closing, self-latching gate that opens outward. A vinyl fence can satisfy all of these requirements as well as or better than wood. Plus, it can stand up to frequent splashing!
Lattice Top Fences. Adding a section of lattice to the top of a privacy fence is delightful way to add character to your yard. But have you ever tried to apply stain or sealant to lattice? Not so delightful! Vinyl lattice top fencing comes in the color of your choice, and you'll never have to get near it with a paintbrush.
Extreme Weather. If you live in an area with heavy rain or excessive sun, maintaining a cedar fence will most likely drive you a bit crazy. But these weather conditions are what vinyl was made for. Over time, a vinyl fence will look better and last longer than a wood fence in harsh climates.
Make no mistake: There are times when a classic cedar fence is the clear superior choice. But sometimes, vinyl just does the job better.

Bluetooth transmitter issue
I've had the FlexSmart X2 for less than two years (FM bluetooth transmitter). Over the past week when I'm playing from Google Play or TuneIn the music keeps cutting out for seconds at a time sometimes more often than others but when I play it just through the phone it seems fine. I haven't noticed the issues when using navigation. I'm not sure if it's the transmitter or if there's something wrong with the bluetooth on my phone. I unfortunately don't have any other bluetooth devices to check it on. At first I thought it was a streaming problem, but if it was I should have had the same problem off bluetooth. Has anyone had this kind of problem before? The link to the FlexSmart is below.

Re: Bluetooth transmitter issue
I have been having Bluetooth problems also with my S5. My Gear has a hard time connecting, but it connects to my wife's S5 and my S4 flawlessly every time. I've taken it to the Att store several times and they eventually get it to work. We just can't figure out what the problem is.

"It's one of those things that as long as the punt team does well, I'm happy. But we didn't do well tonight. I'm more concerned about net punting than I am about gross punting, and our net punt obviously wasn't where I wanted it to be."

"One-third of your plays are special teams, so to block a punt and get good field position out of it and score was big."
"There is nothing wrong with three runs and a punt. A team like ours can live with that because we think we're going to get a few turnovers and set that offense up in good position where we can get something done. Eventually we feel like [our opponents] will do something wrong before we will."
"We have to have a sense of urgency (on special teams). When we line up to punt in either of our formations, that's going to be an important play. My heart is going to be beating."

Fabulous setting next to a very beautiful lake which at the time of visit was partially frozen and stunning with snow and mountains as backdrop. Bit of a windy road to get there but certainly worth it. You buy a ticket making sure you've got your swimsuit and speedos if you're a man. You are issued a card and shower...
It is really nice and good place to relax. It consists of a part where you can stay with the kids and has even swimming pool outside and the second part only for adults and older children. There are great 3 outside swimming pools with different temperatures. It may get crowded in the afternoon but it is still OK.
Great thing to do on a cold Tuesday in June. Here's how it works: The doors open at 2pm on Tuesdays in June. This signals the release of the french queue game.

We arrived on a Sunday in August and there was a massive festival going with cars parked on every bit of land. So we weren't sure whether we would even get into Balnea. No need to worry, when we got inside it was busy but not crowded. It was a really relaxing 2 hours, the outside hot baths are best(must...
I have been going to Balnea for years, since the early days, however this year I was disappointed. The changing rooms were nit clean at all and obviously no one is in charge of cleaning during the day. Also, not enough cabins, no mirror, no hairdryer. This is too bad because the various pools (roman, japanese, inca...) are very nice....
Very modern spa with excellent pools and amenities. Great wet weather option in the middle of Loudenvielle. Outdoor pools of 40,37 and 30 degree excellent
Beautifully placed, magnificent views but expensive for the offered services. 2 hours of time of using it is more than enough
After riding several Cols in the immediate area we decided to visit Balnea spa
Well what a great decision €15.50 per person gave you entrance, towel and even shower gel and a stay of two hours.
This place is spotlessly clean and many areas encourage a no talking policy so that you can really immerse yourself in the experience
Our B&B owner recommended we go to this spa. I was impressed with how large it is and how many different water experiences you could choose from. It's an indoor-outdoor water park for families.

Privacy in the heart of Holladay. This roomy rambler on .35 acres, is tucked away on 2000 East (yes, tucked...as in the portion of 2000 E that totally isn't busy with traffic). The floorpan lends itself quite nicely to entertaining here–a massive living area off the kitchen boasts an impressive stone fireplace and the space opens onto the patio via a set of French doors. And by the by, said patio will serve as a fantastic way to keep the party alive...the deck (with bench seating all around) gives way to ample yard space for all your 24th-of-July-neighborhood-party needs. You'll be happy to whip up that pioneer-themed Jell-O mold, too, as the kitchen is stacked with slate flooring, knotty maple cabinets, Viking appliances, and good vibes. Bay window in the main suite makes for a bright and airy feeling. And you'll be coming and going like nobody's biz with that circle driveway out front. Oversized garage for your kayaks/motorcycles/hunting gear, AND you've got room for your boat or R.V. Now, we're not ones to mince words, so we'll cut right to the chase: this is your house.

The game comes across to me as being "silly fun", and I play MMORPG's to neither be silly or have "fun."
Strangely enough they promise to bring back more challenging raiding, which would appeal more to why I play MMORPG's, to accomplish things, so perhaps they should focus their marketing more towards why this is a good, challenging game, rather than try to amuse with tongue in cheek humor?

C.S Lewis.
The graphics ARE cartoony. Plain and simple. And I swear they are going out of their way to give me an epileptic seizure with the bright flashing lights,
But that isn't why I don't care for the game. Simply put, it bores the hell out of me. Period.
1. You have the right to shut the hell up.
2. You have the right to a opinion just as soon as I tell you what it is.
3. You have the right to die quietly or kicking and screaming. It doesn't really make a difference because you're dead either way.
There are a couple of interesting things I took away from your post.
1. Right off the bad, it was very hard to read. I think that says a lot when you are trying to prove something is not childish while simultaneously applying that same label to others.
2. You are preaching at people to not be concerned with labels... Yet you are in a fit over your new game being labeled.
I think you should work on your presentation and form complete and coherent thoughts before you become belligerent towards people that do not share similar tastes as you.
Now on to the point (I think) of your post. I have also elected not to purchase Wildstar. Does that mean I am afraid to act like a child? I have children of my own and find myself waddling through tunnels at playgrounds after them. Being called a child is the least of my concern. The graphics must be it! I played WoW off and on since release, graphics are not going to deter me. The game is too lighthearted for you! I am playing "The Stick of Truth" as we speak...
The reason I have elected to not play the game are not any one of the reasons listed, it's all of them combined and then some. Yes the graphics are bad. It feels like I'm playing space-wow. Yes the game is childish and lighthearted. Those two things together make it hard for me to enjoy. Add in the lack of voice overs (sorry, I'm spoiled now), boring questing (it really is), boring story, and forever long intro tutorial and I think you are going to push a lot of people away. Even if none of those things were an issue for me, I like sci-fi games less than fantasy.
Two other smaller issues for me was was the size of the quest text and performance. I can see fine but I shouldn't have to squint to read my quests. I am sure there are options that will adjust that, or at least addons, but I feel like the game should be presented better without having to dig through settings. Performance was slightly annoying. For a game with graphics like this my rig should perform without a hiccup, that wasn't the case. Yes it's beta, but its damn near close to release.

Still I've seen most of kids play runescape or wow. Kids favour cartoonish games. And still graphics are one of the most important thing in video games.
Make that a double:
Wow, this thread has some pretty wide spectrum definitions on what is grown up or childish, or adult or child. I think there is probably a psychology professor somewhere just laughing at this thread right now. It boarders comical and maybe they should make a tv show on this, would be fun to watch.
That aside. There is many stages to growing up and being an adult. Many marketing industries use this when marketing a game, toy, car, house, purse, shoes, and the list is endless. Some of the most profitable people in the world have made it through some pretty deep stages of life, which gives them the ability to prey upon younger or older people, who are at a earlier stage of gorwing up.
Have you ever seen a 40 year old who hangs out with teenagers and gets drunk with them and buys them beer and smokes? This is an adult, who has never grown up past their teen stage of life. These are the most easy people to prey upon by marketeers. Then there is 40 year olds who have gone to war a few times, been involved in politics, been involved in global business deals, and these people are at the higher end of growing up, these people are never fooled by marketeers. They are so grown up they would not even consider playing a video game.
So somewhere in beteen those two types of 40 year olds, you find the general population, mostly towards the teenage spectrum. I have to admit that there is a lot and I mean ALOT of adults who never grew up past their teenage years. The reason for this is freedom and marketeering but that's for another days discussion.
Bottom line is, how grown up are you? Where does Wildstar fi on the timeline of growing up stages that marketers view it on their charts in back offices which are results from their marketing research? This is the question you really want to answer to find out. I'll tell you exactly where. Wildstar is targed to 6 year olds to 25 year olds. As you move past 25 years old it will be much harder for the general populous of 26+ year olds to want to play wildstar based on its content.
Does this mean that people will not play it if they are 26+? Of course not, some people will play it at even 70-120 for the combat or the features in the game, or just because they are toys R us kids.
Now if we were to take Barney the Dinosaur, I can guarantee you that Teens would not watch it, neither would Adults, because Barney has a marketing geared for 2-6 year olds. But if you were to ask a 5 year old why they think teens or adults do not like it, I'm sure you'll get an answer like, because they do not know how to be young, or are immature or are stupid... well you'd probably get the stupid answer cause at 5 I used to call everyone I did not understand that.
Keep in mind that Daria says it best about who and why Wildstar is targeted to a certain age group that many older adults would call childish, and this "Edgy".

Their slogan should be OMG theres so much fun to be found here!!! play me!!! fun fun fun. They try not to be serious in any way or form. That combined with those grapichs. Yeah you get childish. Also its the same rubbish as we have seen the last 10 years. If you like themeparks go wildstar its created well i think. IF your are done with themeparks stay away from it. far far away
Was gonna come in here and say the same thing, lucky for me this guy 2nd post too mind you said it all really, the game really doesnt take itself seriously at all and that was in itself the turnoff for me. I had no gripes with the graphics, and i enjoyed the combat for the most part. I was bothered with the running animation though, i mean constant skipping around? Who is gonna take you seriously if you skip around everywhere? lol

it's simply because it's too silly-themed and displays exagerated emotions. Let me ask you, why is it NOT childish? art style, emotion style, character presentation and all clips trailers and previews portray it in a light that would make it a great childish game. In the end, if you're ok with cartoony graphics why are you not ready to accept it's childish? Will you enjoy it less if you're not portrayed as a manly man for playing it by the internet community?
Let me ask you, why is it considered to be childish? Are all cartoons childish? How about the old Looney Tunes cartoons? I did indeed watch the classic ones as a kid but I only really got the more slapstick side of them. It took me until I was an adult to really understand the full meanings of all of the humor. How about adult-oriented Japanese anime? How about caricatures?
Again, why are bright colors, exaggerated features, and light humor equated to childishness? Everything has to be stark and stern, dark and dreary to be considered "adultish"?
It takes an adult to realize that looks can be deceiving.
Agreed. And what a lot of people on here seem to forget is that cartoons can be a powerful medium for serious subjects too even if it is done with humor. That is one reason why the old Looney Tunes cartoons (the non-censored ones from the 40s for example) were so good.
Originally posted by Alber_gamerI don't think anyone that isn't trolling would consider the game childish. And if they do, they're mistaking "humorous" for "childish". I prefer Wildstar's way about one million times over the old and boring "doom and gloom" RPG where the world is crumbling, the war has erupted, and everything is lost until you, the hero, come to change it. In Wildstar the world is crumbling, war has erupted, but it's about seeing the positive side of it and having fun playing. The other 3 million games of the market can go ahead with the doom and gloom. I found a fun fact amongst my group of friends and guildies, and is that a most of the people that find the game "childish" tend to be in the 15-25 years old range, while more mature individuals can look beyond the skin, finding the game fun and generally appealing. Guess some people are just too eager to claim out loud that they're already too adult for cartoons, as if they had something to prove.
Originally posted by maple2because those people who says so.. are kids and also they dont want a game to better then wow.. and thats a fact.. Wildstar is a Hardcore game for does who like it to be hard instead of that Pony level World of warcraft serves.. what i mean by Pony is that every boss mechanic is the same just used a different way and the game is Old and starting to Crumble to dust and leveling is a joke... Wildstar brings tons of Fun, Challenge, hardcore content, 20/40 raiding, extreamly large scale pvp, Housing, Warplots u can customize yourself. and much more Wildstar is only abit more cartoonish then world of warcraft but thats how games is. Or else we would have to make the graphics even more intense and people had to buy better Pc's in order to run the games aswell. 90% of all games today are Cartoonish looking, Wow.Rift,Tera,D3,star wars,Wildstar, and alot more games to come are going to be cartoonish thats a fact. all major MMO's are Cartoonish get used to it already. oh and btw if Wildstar is childish why is it that it's mostly grown up that plays it? aswell as hardcore raiding guilds in wow are mostly 20+ even Semi Hardcore only accept 18+ same thing in wildstar semi hardcore 18+ and hardcore 20+ softcore even 18+ aswell due to the fact that they dont want any kids..
In green: except that WoW is a cartoony game too. I think a WoW player would feel at home in Wildstar as far as graphics/animations are concerned so I would be surprised if a WoW player would purposely put down Wildstar while trying to promote his game. It would be hypocritical in fact.
Otherwise I agree with your post.
So i guess for a 39 man like me, is better to play a retarded game with realistic graphics like ESO, instead of one which is better in almost every aspect, having HUGE content and is highly polished like WS, because of its cartoony graphics.
Good point and i think this logic applies to games like D3, Rift SWTOR, TERA, GW2 etc as well, right?
Btw i feel myself a hero reaching the game with realistic graphics up to lvl 34. Was a total boredom, gamebreaking bugs and minimal options of content to play. Btw our EU server is still in US. I guess they will move him on EU "Soon"...
The game is cartoony, cute and extremely funny , animation wise and lore wise. Some people take this concept as childish, because either they can't stand looking at silly characters running arround, or have some kind of gripe with cartoons.
On the other hand, gameplay wise, the gameplay that matters (dungeons,pvp,raids) is extremely challenging and i don't expect 10 year olds to be competitive in this game.
Crafting also requires some thought and researh,which i doubt a kid could handle.
People who care about artstyles are free to go play any other AAA mmo in the market. 80% of them are realistic looking and 80% more boring than Wildstar IMO.
Its not that the game is childish, i think its the use of cartoon style graphics that makes it more 'child' friendly.
Cartoon graphics are meant to appeal to children, they see them every day on TV after all, and its the 'fun' factor, to a child, cartoons are fun, their colourful and they catch at a childs imagination. Children are not really into 'realistic' graphics, they hold no awe for the technical details or how hard it may be to recreate them, that comes later, much later tbh. Its not that Cartoon graphics are childish, its that they appeal to children, its all about shapes and colours. Also there is the violence factor, in cartoons there is violence but nobody is every really hurt by it, its a cartoon after all, there is no 'angst' to distract the child, just the fun factor, more realism would be counter productive, and the more realistic the graphics are, the less fun it would be to be hurt, and to hurt others in a game, the game would become that much less appealing.
Thats why i think cartoon graphics are used in games to appeal to a younger audience, the game is meant to be 'child friendly'
I'm glad for Wildstar artistic choice.
Because it will keep away all the kids that think that they're too grown up to play a cartoonish game.
They can go to ESO. Wildstar will be a cleaner and better game for it.
Brilliant move by Carbine.
My opinion is my own. I respect all other opinions and views equally, but keep in mind that my opinion will always be the best for me. That's why it's my opinion.

Btw i m 39 years old with 2 kids (oldest one plays LoL).
I'm also totally impartial to graphic style. I got equally bored with both ESO and WS during the beta...
I didn't find Wildstar to be specially "childish", some of the humor used in the game would actually be hard to understand by a child. Just like WoW btw.
I agree though that they abuse the word "fun" a lot in all their advertisement, but once that virtual "fun" layer is peeled away, the game becomes very linear and therefore sadly... very boring.

Wanna try SWToR? Or have not played in a few months. Please click my refer a friend link below and you get rewards as well.
Because it looks childish and the story is childish would be my guess. The core of the game is solid however, and from what I have heard, played, and read it offers plenty of "hardcore" for people who want a bigger challenge.
The bottom line is it's going to appeal to some and not others, I like the art direction personally, my problem was in the loose combat itself rather than anything to do with childish art or story.
Currently Playing: ESO and FFXIV
Have played: You name it
If you mention rose tinted glasses, you better be referring to Mitch Hedberg.
I like the art style. Wow was cartoony because they wanted a game that would play well on most systems as of 2004. If you look hard enough you can find the more "realistic" wow alpha footage.
Wildstar is different because it's intentional. Like playing Crash Bandicoot Online and it even has doublejump. Maybe it's childish but I'm 32 and love running and jumping around(my char in beta was Explorer).
My FFXIV ARR referral code for new EU accounts: ZC5A3J4Q
Step into the amazing world of Eorzea! Use this reference code on a new account and we'll both get goodies for it!

I think it depends on personal tastes. I for one find GW2 very childish and I don't play it because it anoys me, but I don't find WoW, FFXIV ARR or WS childish one bit. And I have fun with those games. That's what matters.
This ^^
Some people are just insecure and worried what someone might think (even if no one is going to see them).
The real question is, how many people who like WS have called someone a WoW kiddie?
