Code Lyoko Episode 119X: Birth of a New Threat ReDone
Author: James the Lesser/The Bunnyman
Disclaimer: I Do Not Own These Characters! Moonscape Does!
A/N ALL PEOPLE WHO SAY I SPELLED XANA WRONG. READ MY OTHER STORIES, 53-118 PLUS THE OVA FIRST SO YOU KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!! Actually, I probably don't need this anymore since Xana is Xana…
A/N Ok, starting the series back up. I'll be putting the Code Xana Episodes up still but remember they happen after 119 and not 119X. Everything after 119X does not happen in the Code Xana world! This is just me not being able to stop writing about our favorite Lyoko Warriors!
Ulrich and the others in the tenth grade are sitting in history class, the last class of the day. "Hey, where's Sissi?" She had been in the other classes but now she was missing. "Jeremie, is Xana attacking?" Jeremie looks at his phone.
"No, Sanne would call if he was. Maybe, hmmm, she could be doing something else or Xana is doing something that doesn't require an activated Tower." Xana was powerful enough to attack, set the woods on fire, without activating a Tower. After the return he would be even stronger.
"Oh great so when we get out of class we get to find out if he killed Yumi or Samantha?" Ulrich was still acting like another person. "I don't see…" Odd interrupts him.
"Ulrich, stop." The teacher was walking over to them. He had seen the group having a discussion and doubts it is about the Napoleonic Wars. "Hello, sorry, we were…" The teacher interrupts Odd.
"And what is so important you refuse to listen?" He taps his foot waiting for an excuse before he gives them detention. They were in the tenth grade and were old enough to know the rules.
"Well, we were wondering where our friend Sissi is. She was here earlier, did she get sick?" S.S. acts like she is concerned for a friend and not about what Sissi was planning on doing. Her act is good enough to fool the teacher.
"Sissi is on personal time, she was going to the hospital, I believe she is ready to give birth to her child." He shakes his head, what children were doing today sickened him. Back in his day Sissi would no be allowed in the school with such horrible grades and doing what she had.
"Really!?" S.S. acts excited. "I'm going to become an aunt!" S.S. claps her hands together faking excitement. "Which hospital did she go to?"
"St. Claire's, now, if we can get back to class." S.S. and the others nod. They pass notes and send text messages to Jim, Sanne, Yumi, and Samantha telling them what was going on.
At the St. Claire hospital Sissi is in a room with a doctor and two nurses. "You're doing fine Elisabeth, keep breathing." The doctor sees something strange. "Nurse could you look at this?" She does and is just as amazed as the doctor.
"Her hymen was never broken, how is she pregnant?" The only way this was possible was a miracle which the doctor doubted. The doctor had never seen this in his three decades of working at St. Claire Hospital.
"King Xana, he would never degrade himself to such a filthy act!" Sissi yells as another contraction hits her. "How dare you think King Xana would commit such an act, he is pure, I am pure, I am Mary and he is God!"
"King Xana? Nurse, call child services this could be a case of child abuse." The nurse leaves and goes to call child services. "Elisabeth, who is the father?"
"King Xana, a God, thee God." Sissi's response scares the doctor. He thinks Sissi is part of a cult where the leader is called King Xana. If only that was true. "King Xana blessed me with a baby. I'm a good Knight, maybe, maybe I'll become his Queen if I do good."
"Finally, class is over." The group head to Jeremie's room to meet up with Yumi and Jim. They had to do something but what could they do? Sissi was giving birth to Xana's child. He wouldn't let them hurt the baby even if they wanted to.
"So what do we do?" Yumi is biting a nail in worry. "We can't hurt the baby."
"If Sissi is having Xana's kid we have to do anything to stop it. When it's young, weak…" Yumi hits Ulrich.
"No way Ulrich, it hasn't done anything, its innocent!" Yumi stares at Ulrich. "We can't kill it even if it did do something. It's not a monster, it's not a Block or Dragon, it's a human being!"
"Not this argument again Yumi. It is Xana's that makes it evil!" Ulrich and Yumi try to stare each other down.
"It's a baby that makes it innocent!" Yumi bunches her hand into a fist. If she had to beat it into Ulrich she would. A baby was a baby no matter who the father was.
"It's Xana's that makes it a monster!" Ulrich and Yumi are ready to fight over this. It had been awhile since they last sparred against each other but this would be more then sparring.
"Guys break it up. Yumi has a point for all we know it could come out as a normal baby." Jim gets between Ulrich and Yumi. "But Ulrich could be right to. If it is a monster then the people at the hospital are in danger. I talked to Bob Miller and he says he will make an extra stop at the hospital on his way to the pool. But we have to go leave in about twenty minutes. Sanne said she will stay at the Factory but Samantha said she will meet us."
"Ok, we'll go, and see whose right." Ulrich leaves Jeremie's room. The others follow, Yumi last to leave since she didn't want to be close to Ulrich.
At the hospital Sissi was giving birth, to a baby, or a monster? "Come on, one final push, I see the head." Sissi screams as she follows the doctor's orders and pushes the baby out into the world. "Congratulations it's a boy!" The doctor and nurses do what they do best. The baby is handed to Sissi when they are done. "So, what are you going to name him?"
"Prince Xana." Sissi smiles at the baby. "I did it, he's going to be so proud of me." She cradles the baby in her arms when a light in the room sparks then shatters. "King Xana?" Another light shatters and the baby sparks. "Oh no it seems Prince Xana is showing off, aren't you Prince Xana." Sissi is about to say more when a bolt of energy comes out from the baby and into Sissi.
"Nurse, call for, uh, security?" The baby was attacking its own mother! The bolt of energy seems to rip something out of the new mother and pulls it into the newborn. The girl collapses, the monitors attached to her make noises as if she was dead. The newborn makes a strange noise then grows! "What is that thing!?" The doctor backs away when the baby starts to float in the air. A bolt of energy comes out from the baby hitting the doctor and both nurses. They collapse to the floor, dead, as the baby rips something out of them and absorbs it. He grows. He ages, until he looks like a three year old.
"Almost there, Jeremie, any word from Sanne?" They could see the hospital while they rode the bus. Jim is nervous about what will happen now that Sissi was having the child. Would the group have to kill a baby?
"What's going on?" Samantha points towards the front of the hospital. People are running out of it screaming.
"Xana, he's attacking the hospital!" Jeremie calls Sanne. "Sanne, Xana's attacking the hospital, is there an activated Tower?"
"No Jeremie, he isn't using enough energy. Be careful since he can kill you." Without Aelita holding him back Xana could do anything he wanted to.
"We have to do something." Ulrich reaches to his side. "Wait, what do we do?" He was reaching for his sword before remembering he was on Earth.
"Have to get in there and distract Xana so he won't hurt anyone else." The bus stops and the group run off of it for the hospital.
"Security!" A clerk is hit by a bolt of energy collapsing to the floor when something is ripped from her body and absorbed by the five year old floating down the hall.
"Security, yes, bring me more. I need life energy to grow." He floats down the hall killing a janitor.
"You, kids, get out of here!" A security guard catches the group trying to sneak in. "What are you trying to do?"
"Our friend is in here, Elisabeth Delmas, she's having her baby."
"Maternity ward, I'm sorry that was the first place hit." The security guard was told to keep people out especially from there. A nurse tried to make it to where the babies were but was killed by whatever was attacking. "Please leave we are planning a rescue team once the, the event is over." He didn't know how to describe what was happening. People said it was an alien, others said it was a demon, either way he had no clue what had happened.
"Aaaa!" The guard turns around as another security guard is blasted by an energy bolt. He reaches to his side for the only weapon he was allowed to carry.
"Xana." Yumi takes her stun gun out of her pocket. "This won't do much but I have to try something." The group waits for Xana only to be surprised by what they see. A seven year old boy floating across the floor absorbing something from the security guard.
"You, stop right there!" The other security guard pulls out a can of mace. "I have been authorized to use this."
"The Lyoko Warriors, come to see my rise to power? Once I merge with my father I will be complete. Until then…" He blasts the security guard killing him and taking something from his body. When he absorbs it he ages some more.
"I think we have to run. If he's headed for the Factory he will go for Lyoko where Xana is. On Lyoko we have powers, a chance to win." Odd and the others retreat as Xana's child floats after them. They get to a manhole cover and get in the sewer.
"Ok, where's the Factory from here?" S.S. looks around not recognizing where they are. "Or the school entrance so we can get our boards and scooters?"
"I think we go that way first." Jeremie points down one way and the group runs. Thankfully Xana's child seems to be taking a different path.
At Kadic Academy the new Principal is looking for a teacher, a Jim Morales. "His files say he use to work as a mechanic maybe he can do something about my car." He checked Jim's office but he wasn't there. As he walks across the campus for the gym he hears screaming. He runs towards the screams to see a child, about ten, floating above the ground with bolts of energy striking students killing them. "You, what are you doing?!"
"What I am programmed to do." A bolt of energy strikes the Principal killing him and taking his life energy. Xana's child continues through the school killing everyone he sees until the school has been emptied. "The older I get the more I need." His aging was slowing down as he absorbs more.
The group makes it to the Factory to find Sanne is sitting on the bridge facing the Factory. "Sanne what are you doing?" She stands up and they see a burn across her stomach, a gash on her face.
"Sanne!" Jim runs to her. "What happened?"
"Xana attacked, I got away, barely." Her stun gun did nothing. Even modified it wasn't powerful enough to hurt Xana.
"Xana's kid is probably headed this way by now. Surprised we beat him here." Jeremie and the others didn't know Xana's child had attacked the school first.
"What was he doing? What did he look like?" Sanne was the only one not to see him, yet. Xana's child was on his way.
"He was killing them, anyone who got in his way. I don't know how but Xana's child was almost our age already." S.S. is shaken up after what she saw. "No mercy, just killed them and took something from them."
"We have to get to Lyoko. He said he was going to merge with Xana and if we stop them on Lyoko it might keep this from being over."
"You can't get to Lyoko unless you find a way past Xana." Sanne wasn't lucky to escape she knew Xana let her escape.
"That's right, he's almost here." Xana appears as he floats out of the Factory. "If he is ready we will merge and I will become more powerful then ever! I will kill you, and then I will take over the world. Unless you join me now, that is, you three." Xana motions to Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi.
"Never we'll fight and win!" Ulrich walks towards Xana ready to fight.
"I hardly think winning is something you should be talking about unless you talk about me." Ulrich is stopped by a force field. "Oh there he is, a handsome fellow don't you think?" The group turns around and sees a twelve three year old boy floating towards them. His energy visible as it surrounds him.
"This is it, isn't it?" S.S. grabs Odd's hand. "I love you, I don't regret meeting you and finding out about Lyoko."
"I love you to." Odd kisses her. "Guys, it was fun while it lasted."
"Don't give up yet." Sanne crosses her fingers praying for a miracle. Something could happen, maybe Xana will decide controlling Earth is to much work and retire.
"Oh please do, say your good byes, I'll even let you call your family to tell them how much you love them before I kill you." Xana laughs as his son makes it to the bridge.
"Father, we need to merge."
"Not yet son, you need a few more years before you are ready. Taking Sissi's life energy was a great idea. You've grown into quite the man. Just a few more years and you'll be ready."
"No, I am programmed to merge with you, I will merge with you." Xana's son attacks Xana. They fight a little but Xana shows his power.
"Foolish boy I am your father I have the power!" Xana blast his son with an energy bolt. "Do not try anything you can not finish."
"I will finish what I was programmed to do." Xana's son attacks Xana again. The energy between both grows and consumes each other. The group watching decide to take this chance to get into the Factory. They run and take the elevator to the Control Room.
"Jeremie, send us, then join us. If we are on Lyoko we may be able to do something." Jeremie nods. Sanne turns towards the others. "We will go and hide in a Tower. I don't think Xana will risk going inside of one even with his new host."
"We're running? Hiding? Why not just let Xana kill us and get it over with?" Ulrich does not want to surrender. He had fought for to many years to give up.
"Go Ulrich you can fight him on Lyoko!" Jeremie yells at Ulrich.
"Fine, I'll run." Ulrich and the rest go down to the Scanners.
"Transfer Odd, Transfer Yumi, Transfer Ulrich, Scanner Odd, Scanner Yumi, Scanner Ulrich, Virtualization." Jeremie gets the next group ready as Xana and his child fight.
"Fool, try that again and I may punish you." Xana blocks his child's attack easily.
"I will merge, it is what I have been programmed to do!" Xana's child attacks him and knocks him to the ground. "It's what you programmed me to do!" Xana's child shoves his hands into Xana's chest.
"No!" Xana struggles as he starts to merge with his son. "Not like this, no!" They merge together becoming one. Xana's child rises, about thirteen years old, and goes into the Factory.
"Transfer Sanne, Scanner Sanne, Virtualization." Jeremie gets Sanne to Lyoko and starts to program his own transfer when the elevator doors explode open. "No, guys, I won't make it." Jeremie takes his headset off. "Xana, I won't give up." Jeremie gets in a fighting stance he had seen Ulrich do.
"Jeremie Belpois, the one who discovered my Father, his creators work." Xana's child walks forward. "My mission is complete. I have merged with my Father." He stands in front of Jeremie.
"What, you're, not Xana?"
"No, he was too weak. His monster has killed him like Dr. Frankenstein." Xana's child raises his hand and it sparks. "Now as for you Jeremie Belpois, where are the others?"
"I, they're safe."
"Not what I asked. Where are they or do you want to die alone?"
"No! Leave him alone!" Sanne appears on the monitor. "Damn you, what do you want?"
"Control of Earth, death of my enemies, the usual."
"Because I can. Don't we all want power?" Xana's child walks towards the monitor. "You had power for a long time but lost it."
"I didn't want it!"
"I do." Xana's child turns towards Jeremie. "Say goodbye to your friend."
"No, stop!" Xana's child points his hand towards Jeremie and fires an energy bolt. "You bastard!"
"Yes, my parents weren't married but they are together now." Xana's child laughs. "I'll come and get you now." Xana's child breaks apart and goes into the Super Computer.
"Children, when he comes inside I will lock him inside. You must get out or you will be trapped also." Sanne is going to sacrifice herself to win. "If Jeremie is still alive get him in a Scanner and scan him."
"Sanne, if he, if he isn't alive we won't have anyone left to work on the Super Computer." Sanne turns to S.S.
"It doesn't matter. We must trap Xana to stop him." Sanne quickly looks towards the front of the Tower. "Be ready." Sanne starts to float up leaving the others on the lower platform. When she makes it to the top a dark energy comes into the Tower.
"Time to beg for mercy. If you do I may let you live long enough to call your loved ones and tell them goodbye."
"Now!" The Lyoko Warriors run out of the Tower.
"Go ahead and run with my power no one can escaped!" Xana's child charges his hands with energy. "They left you behind. Do you think you can fight me woman?" Xana's child floats up to the second platform to see a smiling Sanne.
"We got you bastard." Sanne pushes the control panel and something strange happens. The screens in the Tower start to glow then become solid.
"What do you think you are doing?"
"Trapping you." Sanne smiles even more. "You lost, finally."
"I don't believe you!" Xana's child flies down to the front of the Tower and tries to go through but can't! "No!" He charges his hand and punches the wall of the Tower. "I can't lose!" Xana's child looks down. "Fool you tried to lock me in a Way Tower!" Xana flies down to the Digital Stream and escapes!
"No, I must send them back to Earth so they can attempt an escape." Sanne brings up the materialization program and send the others back to Earth.
"She did it I guess." Odd helps Samantha up then S.S. "That was close."
"We have to get Jeremie to a Scanner." Ulrich runs over to the elevator and pushes the button. The elevator goes up to the Control Room and Ulrich runs over to Jeremie. "No, damn it," He tried to feel a pulse but couldn't get one. "You're alive Jeremie!" Ulrich picks Jeremie up and runs to the elevator. He takes it down and gets off at the Scanner Room. "Sanne if you can hear me Scan Jeremie!"
"He is ok then, good." Sanne could hear Ulrich but Ulrich could not hear her. She scans Jeremie.
"Jeremie, say something."
"What happened?" Jeremie coughs a little. "Where did he go?"
"Sanne, she trapped him."
"No she didn't!" Xana's child has escaped through another Way Tower! "Those children think I am trapped. This will be fun." Xana's child goes to escape Lyoko and attack when he runs into a barrier! "No!" He punches the barrier but it holds up. "Damn that woman!" He charges his hands gaining more and more power. He activated a Tower for more power. He has a massive amount of energy when he strikes the barrier but the energy is deflected and hits Xana's child!
"He can't escape." Sanne had followed after Xana's child and sees him trying to escape. "He has been trapped on Lyoko." She turns towards where the activated Tower is. "He can still attack Earth if he can activate Towers." Sanne runs back into the Way Tower and uses it to materialize herself back to Earth.
"Sanne?" When she fell out of the Scanner the whole group was amazed. "You escaped the Tower?" Ulrich helps her back up.
"Yes, so did Xana's child." The group is shocked by the news. "But he is stuck on Lyoko. Somehow the program to lock him in a Tower was mutated by trying to use it on a Way Tower."
"The Digital Stream would have allowed him to escape." Jeremie shakes his head. "It wasn't meant for that. But if he can't escape Lyoko…" Sanne interrupts Jeremie.
"He can still attack. Right now he is to busy trying to escape but when he realizes he can't he will activate a Tower and attack Earth." Sanne sighs. "This is bad."
"We need to do something."
"I would say run but he could find us and a Frenchman doesn't surrender." S.S. stares at Odd. "Ok they do but not this Frenchmen."
"I think I know a way." They turn to Sanne. "I am going to try and drain the Super Computer's power. Jeremie, send me to Lyoko next to the Way Tower in the Desert Sector."
"Sanne if he detects you he will attack won't he?"
"He's to busy trying to attack. Send me!" Jeremie goes to the elevator and takes it up to the Control Room while Sanne steps in a Scanner. She waits for the doors to close. When they do she is Transferred to Lyoko. She runs into the Way Tower.
"Sanne what are you going to do?"
"I'm trying something. It could be dangerous."
"More dangerous then Xana?"
"No." Sanne brings something up.
"Hey, a return to the past? How is that going to drain the power from the Super Computer?"
"Do you trust me?"
"I do."
"Then let me do this." Sanne works on her plan. "Be ready Jeremie. If this doesn't work I don't know if we'll live."
"Ok Sanne." Jeremie waits and soon a white bubble comes out.
"Whoa." Odd comes out of the return in class. "Why did we do a return?"
"Sanne did one. I don't know why but she told me to trust her." Jeremie and the others are forced to wait for class to end. When the bell rings Jeremie gets to his room and goes to his computer. "Sanne?"
"It didn't work." Sanne had tried to use the power of the Super Computer to modify the return to the past. Normally it could only go a week into the past at most. She tried to lengthen it, bring people back to life, including Xana. If Xana found out about how his son had defeated him then maybe Xana would work with them. But she barely got more then three weeks back.
"It didn't drain the power of the Super Computer?"
"No, it did that but not everything else I wanted it to do." Sanne had failed. If she could have gone back far enough she could have saved her daughter, saved Milly and Tamiya, everyone killed by her. She had weakened the Super Computer and brought some people back, people they didn't even know had died, but it wasn't what she wanted. "He is still trapped on Lyoko. Once he gives up trying to escape he will attack. Until then take a break."
"Ok Sanne. Are you going back to the Hermitage?"
"Yes. I can't stay here. There is nothing I can do anymore." Sanne cuts the connection.
"Jeremie?" Ulrich knocks on the door.
"Come in Ulrich." Ulrich does.
"I just checked what the day was and we're back more then three weeks. That and Sissi, she's, she's alive but she isn't pregnant."
"Xana impregnated her about four days from now. But now he is no longer, he is not our enemy. His son is our enemy now."
"Why can't there ever be good news?"
"Don't try to make a joke Ulrich that's Odd's forte."
"Is Sanne ok?"
"As well as she can be. Right now Xana isn't attacking and Sanne was able to weaken him a little. That and being trapped on Lyoko he shouldn't be able to attack without activating a Tower."
"He's that weak?"
"No, being trapped should keep him from being to act in our world. To send a Ghost to posses someone takes something different. He's anything but weak."
"Oh, well, I'm going with Yumi. Walking her home."
"Ok Ulrich, stay safe. I don't know when Xana will stop trying to escape."
"Hopefully he'll never give up so we can stop fighting." Ulrich walks away.
"Yeah, stop the fighting." Jeremie goes to his bed and lies down. "Aelita." He looks up at the ceiling and looks at the painting she gave him for Valentine's Day. "I miss you so much." He starts to cry.

Play it safe this summer
Friday, 20 December 2013 11:45 a.m.
Be safe, be responsible and be aware - that's the key message from Bay of Plenty harbourmasters for locals and visitors enjoying the region's waterways over the festive season.
"People come to our region from around the country to enjoy water-based activities and with locals also out and about during the holidays, it means our waterways can get pretty crowded. We want people to enjoy themselves but to do so safely," Bay of Plenty Regional Council Maritime Operations Manager Reuben Fraser says.
Maritime staff and volunteers will be patrolling waterways throughout the Bay of Plenty to ensure people are being safe and sticking to the rules.
"The rules are there to keep everyone safe so we would like to think that people will abide by them and support the work of our staff and volunteers this summer," Mr Fraser says. "We ask that people behave responsibly and take extra care when it gets busy."
Breaches of the Bay of Plenty Regional Navigation Safety Bylaw can attract a $200 fine.
Those who go out diving are reminded that they must have a dive flag visible on board their vessel and boaties who see vessels bearing these flags should stay well clear, as divers often drift away from their boats.
People are also being urged to ensure inflatable life jackets are in good working order.
"Regular maintenance of inflatable life jackets is essential," Mr Fraser says. "They are light, easy to wear and don't take up much vessel storage space but it's really important that they are checked regularly and every second year they should be taken to a professional service agent for full servicing.
"We hope people will have a fun and safe festive season."
The rules
- You must be 15 or older to drive a powered vessel that is capable of travelling faster than 10 knots, including a jet ski;
- You must not go faster than five knots:
- Within 50 metres of another vessel or person in the water,
- Within 200 metres of the shore, a dive flag, or any structure;
- The operator of any vessel, including a jet ski, must ensure there is a lifejacket of the correct size and fit for each person on board;
- You must ensure that your vessel's wake does not cause danger or damage to boats or other water users;
- If you are skiing/towing there must also be an observer who is older than 10 years in the vessel or on the jet ski. The person being towed must wear a lifejacket;
- You can be fined $200 for breaching the bylaw.
The Bay of Plenty Regional Navigation Safety Bylaw 2010 is available online at www.boprc.govt.nz/knowledge.../bylaws/navigation-safety-bylaw/

That is the cause why abidance balances far from the recognition control is so grave. You never cognize what may start and you definitely don't want to overpay or wreck your appreciation. Dividing payments next to duple approval cards can abet you hang on to balances away from the gratitude keep a tight rein on.
This solution, nevertheless has its pros and cons. It makes no knowingness to disconnect payments on all purchases but nearby are constant situations in which it is a fitting perception to preserve debt balances on your denary commendation cards fairly than rapt it on a hard to please one. Let us canvass which are the first scenarios for dividing payments and when it is better to use a extraordinary commendation card.
Dividing Payments for Big PurchasesPost ads:

Almost all approval game have acknowledgment ends that you demand to reverence and that you cannot top. If you do, you may have to pay penalization fees or superior involvement taxation and your commendation narrative may get treacherous by the establishment. Thus, it is not just copernican not to do too much the gratitude closing date but too it is celebrated to keep hold of the be a foil for distant from the consideration if contingent. So, when you have to brand name a big purchase approaching an all-important stately home appliance, it is better not to use a distinct paper.
If by buying something with your respect card the gratitude hold back would be reached or you will end up tie up to it, you can ever order the salesmen to undo the purchase price tag relating two or more thanks game. That way neither of the thanks limitations would be smitten or exceeded and you can have ample appreciation departed on both card game for an eventual crisis.
What If A Particular Credit Card Charges a Lower Interest RatePost ads:
Impeccable thing life
In this one suit it may be judicious to purchase any you inevitability next to that respect paper. However, if the gratitude limit is exceeded you may be charged a superior rate and thus, you can end up profitable even much than if you had sectional the purchase rate beside two approval card game or more. Thus, if within is a hazard of prodigious the approval limit, then, even if the rate is temptingly low, we offer separating the acquisition money near two gratitude card game.
Otherwise, you should pay as by a long chalk as likely beside the subjugate charge per unit appreciation card since the interests positively charged by approval card issuers run to be fairly lofty compared to remaining financial products and thus, by paying beside the demean charge paper you would be abiding a lot of burial.
Especially if the acquisition price of what you are purchasing is to some extent giant similar when you purchase a fridge or a big LCD tube or a of your own computer. But if the wonder revenue enhancement are synonymous or similar, don't mull over twice and undo the purchase, it can store you a lot of headaches.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by DallasCowpoke, Nov 14, 2012.
I think you don't know the difference between source and message
Strong assumption. Please speak for yourself, or even better, to yourself.
Just reading what you type. So maybe your message isn't clear.
Or maybe you can't distinguish between message and source -- there is a difference and you don't appear to understand that. Attacking what someone has said is not attacking the source -- if I called Tricky dishonest or full of it, that would be attacking the source. The only "source" comment I provided was the piece about the inconsistency in his grammar attack
A little off topic here, but, this always makes me think, why does the Medical or Legal profession always say "where I practice"?
I mean, all that education and your still practicing?
I have a Bach degree in Computer Science and when the DoD hired me, they hired me to WORK, not practice!
Ah, you may not have used those exact words, but that is exactly what I read in your postings.
Like i said. Ignorant to message v. Source distinction
Any statute of limitations tolls when charges have been filed in a criminal case, or when a petition is filed if it's a civil suit.
Sooooo, it's not an issue. At all.
Remedial stuff really.

1/808 Humffray Street South Mount Pleasant VIC 3350
Email Agent
Inner City Delight1/808 Humffray Street South, Mount Pleasant
Minutes from the Bridge Mall, various restaurants, recreational and educational facilities, this delightful two bedroom unit with sunny front veranda would also be well suited to first home buyers, retirees or downsizers.

Everything I'm reading ambiguous and I just have one simple question: Will ANY touchscreen monitor work with Windows XP, or do I have do have Win7?
I've been checking monitors out on TD and Newegg, and I see a viewsonic and hp monitor that look like they would be good (keep in mind this is just a trial run with our machine operators to see if touchscreens will even be beneficial)
Yes, we are still running windows XP (plan on making the upgrade soon) but before that, I need a touchscreen monitor that will work with XP.
Everything I've been reading says that Win7 comes with touchscreen drivers (generic) out of the box, but that with XP most touchscreens will not work.
Can someone clarify this for me? Direct me to any particular brand monitor that you've liked to use (Planar or Elo?) Keep in mind this monitor will be mounted too. If it had a side handle to hold while inputting data that might be attractive....

At my last job, our cash registers were all Elo models running XP, and touch worked great on them. I don't recall installing drivers separately, but I may have. This was several years ago, however, so I couldn't speak for current Elo hardware.
These days, it's hard to find XP support on anything. The best advice I could give is to get a screen that will fulfill all your needs apart from XP, and then see what happens on XP (maybe even contact the manufacturer before purchasing). Since you're upgrading soon anyway, I wouldn't go out of my way to get something that supports XP if it means sacrificing other features.
Jan 3, 2012 at 10:27 UTC
I know we have industrial touchscreen monitors in use with XP.
I don't know what make or model, not involved with that, but they are industrial, not consumer.
Jan 3, 2012 at 10:35 UTC
Just as an aside -
A lot of times, vendors will list that their product supports Windows x (whatever version is current) because that is what Microsoft supports. Its not as if the products won't by implication work on prior versions of Windows, its just that the companies would rather not be held responsible and try and support an OS that MS won't really handle readily either.
Jan 3, 2012 at 10:41 UTC
Merryworks is an IT service provider.
I have had no issue with Elo on XP. Infact, the drivers page includes this quote.
Windows XP Pro operating system licensing will be valid through 2016 on Elo TouchSystems products. As well as offering additional new OS options, support of Windows XP will continue up to 2016.
Jan 3, 2012 at 10:52 UTC
my last contract was UK NHS [Hospitals] we had a LOT of 23" touchscreen monitors running via XP, you do need to load the correct drivers
but it isn't rocket science any more, and most of the XP PC's today will be running on hardware that is compatible with 7, so drivers will be selected automatically with our good friend PnP :o)
Jan 3, 2012 at 10:52 UTC
I bought an HP L2105t for our shop and it came with XP drivers on a disk as well as Vista/7 and it worked well on all OS's.
Jan 3, 2012 at 11:12 UTC
You can check the manufacturers website for the monitor you want, and see if there is a driver for XP you can download.
Jan 3, 2012 at 12:30 UTC
Personally being in POS for 20 year any touchscreen will work.
In my opinion the best are ELO Touchscreens.
I have many in my DJ Business but there are 2 kinds.
Capcitive and Resistive.
Resistive doesn't react to water spills, water or liquids will mess with a capacitive type.
EOL 1545L or 1745L are pretty much what I use.
You can get them on eBay for cheap.
ELO had software on their site that includes a right click mouse.
I use a Mount Focus keyboard that I pre-load with a STD_US Keyboard.
This keyboard however is not free, you can use microsfots OSD but it is too small for me.
Here is one of my first projects in 2000 on Windows 2000 with an ELO1545L mounted flat.
Jan 3, 2012 at 12:40 UTC
Oh the resistive use accutouch so if you get resistive, you need to get the right software.

The primary difference I've run into is that in the higher versions of Win7 they added the multi touch support and a lot of the touchscreens we were seeing had different lines in their specs for their compatibility with that, but worked fine for mouse replacement with either.

When Win7 support is indicated it's usually to reassure consumers about multi-touch. XP is a workhorse Point of Sale operating system so most manufacturers have XP drivers to this day.

There was a lot to like about Landry-Walker's regional-round playoff home victory against Fair Park of Shreveport on Tuesday.
The Charging Buccaneers held Fair Park to eight points in taking a 22-point halftime lead on their way to a 64-45 victory.
However, coach Brian Gibson was not all happy with his team's play.
Gibson, who guided last year's team to the Class 4A state championship, said he sees the bigger picture. He got on his team hot and heavy during stretches of the second half.
"We lost our intensity," he said. "I know we had a big lead, but we can't relax like that. They have to understand that every team in the playoffs is good. We have to be more consistent with our effort and intensity."
Gibson also knows what's next. The Buccaneers (23-9), the District 9-4A champions, play at district rival Karr with a trip to state semifinals in Lake Charles on the line.
After leading 30-8 at halftime, Landry-Walker allowed 13 points in the third quarter, although it increased its lead to 47-21. Fair Park, which went 10-0 in winning the District 1-4A title, got within 16 points of the lead — 51-35 — with 3:36 left in the fourth quarter. Victory, however, was never in doubt.
Guard Lamar Peters, a starter on last year's team, said he understood why Gibson was not pleased.
"We're trying to get back there," said Peters, who had 15 points and got the Buccaneers started with two first-quarter 3-pointers. "We have two starters back from last year's team. We know what it takes to get back, and our intensity has to be there from the beginning of the game until the end."
It was certainly there at the beginning Tuesday night. Enjoying advantages in size, athleticism and shooting, Landry-Walker also played its patented suffocating full-court, man-to-man defense. When center Blake Paul, who scored a game-high 23 points, dunked an alley-oop pass that gave the Bucs a 9-2 lead, Fair Park coach Eddie Hamilton called timeout to settle his team. However, Landry-Walker ended the half on another 9-2 run.
"The difference was experience," Hamilton said. "They are the defending champions, and they did what they were supposed to do."
In the second quarter, the Bucs picked up where they left off and went into halftime leading 30-8. Peters finished the first half with 11 points.
Fair Park didn't reach double figures until the six-minute mark of the third quarter, when Donnie Perkins drove for a basket, was fouled and scored. However, the Indians did show life in the quarter. Tyler Ford led the Indians with 13 points.
Gibson said he actually likes this edition of the Bucs, saying it may be better than last year's team.
"Last year, we were small," he said. "This year, we've got some of everything. We are a very good shooting team, we have a lot of ball-handlers, and we have size in (6-foot-8) Paul, a rim protector."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Our landlord lost her home through foreclosure in Oct. 2011. We've been in the home not-paying rent, waiting for someone to tell us something. Recently, the landlord contacted us and said that she got the house back and is demanding rent money as soon as April 1st. We just got the notice at the beginning of the month. We do not fall under rent control, but is she allowed to do that? Do we have rights? The lease also ended in August before the foreclosure, so does the original lease still have any power? The house is an original 3 bedroom but we made the living room a bedroom by putting walls up, she also mentioned something about a building inspector coming next week to inspect the house. Since we had the living room as an extra room the rent was cheaper for everyone, but now she wants usto to pay more because we have to get rid of the 4th tenant. Can she do this? We'd be paying $300 more than we need to.
Your facts are a bit complicated because you say first there was a foreclosure but then there wasn't.
Generally speaking, a landlord has the right to collect rent for the entire time that the landlord owns the property. If you haven't paid, the landlord can serve you with a 3-day notice to pay or quit for unpaid rent (up to 12 months), and then sue you in an unlawful detainer lawsuit to evict you if you do not pay in full.
You need to look at the lease itself to see if it has a "holdover" provision. Usually, your tenancy becomes a month-to-month tenancy after the expiration of the fixed term lease.

well it was foreclosed, but now I guess the landlord go the house back.
You may not like this answer, but the truth is that a landlord's personal finances are none of a tenant's business. Whether or not the house is or was in foreclosure does not affect a tenant's obligation to pay rent. The house was at all relevant times the property of your landlord (she apparently settled the foreclosure action; the foreclosure did not occur; and she has resolved her issues with her bank) and, under your agreement, you were required to pay rent. The landlord would be justified in evicting you for non-payment of rent. If you want to continue living there, it would be wise to patch up your differences with the landlord and work out a plan to come current with the rent.Ask a similar question

|Dr. Mitch Frix
DALTON, Ga. (Aug. 28, 2014) – Orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Mitch Frix will
speak on osteoarthritis of the shoulder for a Hamilton Medical Center
(HMC) Joint Moves event on Tuesday, Feb. 17 at 1 p.m. in the
Surgical Services Education Room at HMC.
"There's no reason to live with the pain of osteoarthritis," said Frix. "There are operative and non-operative options to keep you living an active lifestyle."
Osteoarthritis is most common in people over 50 years of age, and in people with a family history of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the articular cartilage that cushions the bones wears away. Eventually the bones rub against each other, causing pain and stiffness.
Non-operative treatments for joint pain include anti-inflammatory drugs or other treatments such as physical therapy. When non-operative treatments offer little relief, and everyday activities are limited due to stiffness and pain, shoulder replacement surgery may be the solution to allow people to keep moving without pain.
The program is free, and light refreshments will be provided.

24 June 2009,
Price realised GBP 313,250
Henry Moore (1898-1986)
Three Way Piece Carving
white Carrara marble
Height: 19 in. (48 cm.)
Executed in 1972; this work is unique
New York +1 212 636 2000
London +44 (0)20 7839 9060

Shanghai +86 21 6355 1766
Jay Vincze

The present work derives from a series of monumental sculptures that Moore conceived in the mid-1960s, commencing with Three Way Piece No.1: Points in 1964-1965 (LH 533, fig. 1; Columbia University, New York; Fairmount Park, Philadelphia; private collection, Chicago), through Three Way Piece No.2: (The) Archer also 1964-1965 (LH535, fig. 2; City Plaza, Toronto; National Gallery, Berlin).
As with those earlier works of the same title, the 'three ways' of the title here refers to the three main elements of the work. Poised on three delicate tapering points, the bulging curvaceous forms that make up the mass of the sculpture suggest different interpretations from different angles, and indeed allow for three different positionings.
An abstract organic sculpture, the present work was inspired by the artist's abiding interest in stones and bones. Moore listed the broadest possible field of sources for these associations: 'The whole of nature - bones, pebbles, shells, clouds, tree trunks, flowers - all is grist to the mill of a sculpture' (quoted in A. Wilkinson (ed.), Henry Moore: Writings and Conversations, Berkeley, 2002, pp. 221-222).
In contrast to Moore's figurative, pierced or interlocking forms, the present work belongs to a body of works that can be referred to as compact forms. Although dense in mass, there is an overall sense of internal movement and recoiled tension in the present work, emphasized by the inclusion of a pointing motive, which became a prominent feature of Moore's later works. As Moore himself stated 'A form becomes more active when it is a point - it has a direction.'
Perhaps aware of certain physical constraints of working in bronze, carving, and in particular carving in marble, held a renewed importance for Moore in the late period. This was not simply a practical consideration: in 1963 Moore took a holiday home in Forte dei Marmi in Tuscany, and it is surely not without coincidence that he subsequently chose to spend his summers in Italy, close to the famous quarries of Carrara. The qualities of the white marble allowed Moore to most fully express this sense of energy and tension that he so clearly sought.
In 1964, Moore wrote 'One of things I would like to think my sculpture has is a force, is a strength, is a life, a vitality from inside it, so that you have a sense that the form is pressing from inside, trying to burst or give off strength from inside itself, rather than having something which is just shaped from outside and is stopped. It is as though you have something trying to make itself come to a shape from inside itself' (quoted in A. Wilkinson (ed.), op. cit., pp. 198-9).

Junot Diaz's versatility enables him to effortlessly shift from elaborate epics to intimate, micro-level storytelling. Just a few years after his sweeping epic, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Diaz is back with This is How You Lose Her, a collection of overlapping and intersecting short stories that offer brief, nuanced glimpses of complex characters, emotions, and situations.
Although the stories contained within This is How You Lose Her are arranged in a non-linear sequence, they create a fragmentary portrait of Yunior's life and progression from a young immigrant learning English from Sesame Street to a middle-aged man reflecting on a hollow life and deteriorating body.
If you've never managed to make it all the way through this "great American classic," NOW is the time to give it one more go! Wait, don't click away! Hear me out! I've tried at least three times in the past to read Moby Dick & always get bogged down after a few chapters. All that whaling! All that boiling down of blubber! And, what is Ahab's problem anyway?! So I've never "gotten" Moby Dick & never finished the book. I always abandon the Pequod, Ishmael, Ahab, & the gang and leave them floating in the middle of the ocean somewhere.
But NOT this time! You may have heard recently that writer, Philip Hoare, is leading a "big read" of Moby Dick, or, in this case, more like a "big listen." He's offering a chapter per day in free downloadable audio. There's a different reader and a different artist's illustration for each chapter. I know about this because I have been reading, not a chapter per day, but a PAGE per day, of Moby Dick since August 9th , 2012, and writing a blog about it. So, several people who've been following my blog have told me about the big read project. "This guy stole your idea!" they say indignantly.
I am an addict...and my addiction is popular music. I adore it. Who doesn't? We all have our favorite songs, artists, genres. The right track at the right moment can hit us emotionally or physically, make us weep or dance. What I like almost as much as music are all of the details and stories that lead up to the making of some of my most cherished albums. That's where the 33 1/3 series comes in.
Started in 2003 by editor David Barker, 33 1/3 is a collection where each volume examines the allure of a particular album as well as the artist who recorded it. Named after the number of revolutions on an LP record, the series spans rock, hip-hop, folk, metal, pop, country, dance, punk, electronica, and world. There is something here for everyone.
The rise of broadband Internet and the coming of the Great Recession have combined over the past several years to create a perfect storm for many different types of magazines. The 2000s and early 2010s have seen many respected publications end, either converting to online editions or shutting down entirely. So many magazines have closed over this time period that I have become convinced that I should chronicle some of our former print resources and point out the online resources that have replaced them. So, let's take some time to reminisce over the fate of those wonderful magazines that used to be in our stacks, and look at the Web sites and databases vying to replace them.
C.S. Friedman has long been one of my favorite fantasy writers or, really, writers in general. Having written two trilogies and four stand-alone novels in the past two decades, she's not the most prolific writer in the fantasy world, but when she chooses to publish, her work is always brilliant. I was first introduced to her stories in high school by a friend who was in the middle of reading her Coldfire Trilogy. I've always been loathe to accept recommendations from friends who say, "You've gotta read this book!" but I'm glad I did. And now with her second series, the Magister Trilogy, I've just finished and thoroughly enjoyed Feast of Souls.
This first book takes place in a world that is practically medieval, with tales of small, squalid villages, deeply-forested trails, and grand, opulent capital cities and castles. Friedman takes great care to emphasize the disparity between the peasants--dirty, uneducated, and willing to sell themselves and their families to stay afloat--while the rich go about their lives oblivious to those "below" them. There are three main categories of persons in this book: the morati, regular mortal people, no matter their walk of life; the witches, natural magicians who must draw upon their own life-force to perform their work and who, consequently, are rather short-lived; and the magisters, mysterious sorcerers who act as political counselors and power brokers who do not die. The secret to magisters' immortality is known only to them.
Local Fredericksburg author and crafter Jodie Rackley helps you stitch up a smile with her book, Happy Stitch. She stitches her fun designs in her home studio in Fredericksburg, which she shares with her pets, Captain Nibbles and Sleepy Kitty. The 30 charming and colorful felt and fabric projects in her book are uber cute.
Take some time this summer and stitch up a Monster Face Computer Cover or doodle on a denim skirt. If your older children are complaining of boredom, try one of the projects with them; for example, the Anytime Ornaments have simple cutting and stitching instructions that an older child can follow with a little guidance. Her instructions are clear, and she uses simple techniques.
On the surface Gone Girl reads like a whodunit thriller, and it makes a great summer read--but it's also a literary novel in disguise with its imagery of a landscape of an economic wasteland, the characters' moral bankruptcy, and its themes of identity and marriage. It's been the book of the summer for me.
On their fifth anniversary, Nick Dunne comes home, and his wife Amy is gone. The initial crime scene: an open door, the ottoman turned over, broken glass, and the iron left on. Instead of beginning with "boy meets girl," the plot starts with "boy loses girl." Detectives arrive and the media circus begins.
Told in alternating he said/she said chapters, we learn the back story of Nick and Amy. Gilliam Flynn throws her readers red herrings with sneaky abandon. I found myself shifting loyalties back and forth from Team Amy to Team Nick and then being horrified and guiltily fascinated with both of them.
Never Apologize for Your Reading Tastes. Libraries live by this adage from Betty Rosenberg. But, truthfully? We're all biased. There are those who won't get near a bestseller--reading only serious non-fiction, or, perhaps, literary fiction. My personal eye-rolling, disdainful sniffiness was aimed squarely at paperback romances. Until I actually, well, read some of them.
In Train Dreams, Denis Johnson constructs a melancholy portrait of the U.S. frontier. Instead of focusing on the raw potential and opportunity most associate with the Western expansion, Johnson elucidates the isolation and stasis involved in "taming" a wild place. Johnson artfully constructs a non-linear account of Robert Grainier's life on the frontier. Through Grainier's perspective, we witness the rapid transformation of America – from railroad construction to the proliferation of sleek highways; from influenza epidemics to a random encounter with Elvis Presley. Despite the changes going on around him, Grainier remains a lonely outsider, observing the world's expedited evolution from a distance.
History, particularly popular history, need not be dull, something that Cormac O'Brien demonstrates readily in his book, The Forgotten History of America. Written in a conversational tone and broken into vignettes, old history is made new when written this way. Even so, it's not the standard stuff taught in schools. It's about wars and both sides in those wars, reaching back to the country's colonial beginnings in the 16th century. With personalities writ large on both sides and a good understanding of the differences in modern and historical society, O'Brien leads his readers on journeys back in time:
It begins with the first permanent European settlement in North America:
Pedro Menedez de Aviles anxiously paced the deck of his flagship, San Pelayo. Two days earlier, off the coast of Florida, he had gone ashore and met with Indians who offered valuable information about the prey he was desperately seeking. Now, confident of success, he led his five vessels northward along the coastline, scanning the beaches for any sign of European settlement. The day was September 4, 1565, and Menendez was hunting heretics.

We have some old HP Procurve switches that provide network access to our midsize company (around a 100 nodes lan/wan), about 6 servers and 50+ clients and misc. The current switches are unmanaged and 10/100.
We want to replace these with some managed switches that will give us a performance boost (full GbE), troubleshooting and manageability options with ability to metric on a regular basis and stackability. VoIP is used but only a handful, so good QoS is req'd. Might go with SAN/NAS in future, have a single virtual server currently but could go big soon.
What switches would you choose given this info? 4, 24's or 2 48's, brand, layer, etc.
Thanks for any info you can give.

I have always used Cisco so I would first vouch for them. I've had several run for years without issue and you can't beat the controllability or options available in the Cisco IOS. With that being said, if you want to go Cisco, call your local Cisco sales rep, they will give you the best price and may even throw in some training.
If it was me I would get a couple of 3560G's 48 port (Layer 3) for in your server room. Then from there branch out to 2960s on the edge.
I've also had good success with Extreme and HP switches.
Mar 17, 2011 at 12:11 UTC
2 48 port models trunked together. Make sure they are managed, I'd stay away the CISCO stuff (formerly linksys) Have used HP stuff (procurve) pretty good. I like Dlink home gear and would also give their commercial stuff a try. I have also heard good things about Netgear. We recently picked up a Dell switch here and it works great. Take it for what it's worth. I'd be more concerned about pricing within your budget.
Mar 17, 2011 at 12:15 UTC
It will really depend on your budget, but I'm with Rivitir, 3560's and 2960's would be a solid option.
Mar 17, 2011 at 12:19 UTC
As far as brand goes, go with whoever you are comfortable with. Cisco and HP are probably top of the class and I don't know of anyone who's gotten in trouble for implementing them. Most of their enterprise switches will provide nice QoS
Your probably going to want to segment the SAN/NAS and the VoIP off onto their own network. If you don't have a router that can do that, I would suggest getting at least 1 layer 3 switch to create some VLANs. You may also want to research the potential for future VoIP and whether POE might be a nice added feature.
If all your switches are in 1 room, I'd go with 2 48's that way you don't lose ports to uplink needs. But like Rivitir say, I'd put layer 2 switches outside the datacenter
Sorry I didn't give specific models, but you didn't give a budget ballpark number.
Mar 17, 2011 at 12:38 UTC
I forgot to mention budget range; somewhere in the $3,000 - $5,000 area for total.
Give what I've seen price-wise on Cisco's I'd have to have really good selling points to compare them the HP's stuff. Honestly, that's been the most time consuming; both brands have similar feature sets which makes it difficult to determine proper choice.
Mar 17, 2011 at 1:09 UTC
How about Cabling? are you upgrading, or already set for GB?
I am a huge fan of managed HP Switches.
Mar 17, 2011 at 1:43 UTC
I think if you go with HP or Cisco you likely won't notice any problems in performance or feature set. You're limiting factor is going to be price. If you need 10/100/1000 and PoE, one Cisco 48 port will likely blow the entire budget.
We have a few Dell switches and have had good success with them, but we are not managing them to the level we're managing our Cisco switches. We have Cisco throughout our network and love them. Support is great, hardware is solid; no complaints. I've never dealt personally with HP's switches, but haven't heard anything negative about them.
Mar 17, 2011 at 2:29 UTC
I would go with 3Com/H3C (part of HP Networking now) if Layer 3 / Layer 4 functions are important to you. If not, regular Procurve (also HP Networking) is safe bet also. Cisco is way overpriced/overrated, me thinks. With 3Com/H3C you certainly get as good product with considerable less money. Of course, Cisco has loads of training materials (native and third-party) available, that's its strong side, when HP Networking has none yet. But tech/price wise I would certainly look elsewhere than Cisco.
HP has a pretty nice switch comparing tool available: http://h17007.www1.hp.com/us/en/products/switches/selector/index.aspx
Based on your info I would probably go with A5120 EI or E4210G 48 port models. They are layer 3 (static routing), fully managed (SNMP, WEB, SSH, RMON, sFlow etc) with full featured software and stackable. And they would fit your budget. PoE would probably go a bit over. I think HP has a trade-in program also - you can give your old switches back and get some discount with that (ask your supplier).
Mar 17, 2011 at 2:36 UTC
Agree with Kyle and rivitir
Mar 17, 2011 at 5:11 UTC
As far as cabling goes, we're loaded up with CAT 5e.
Mar 18, 2011 at 6:05 UTC
I just took a leap of faith with the Netgear switches, given that very few people here have used them... And landed on solid ground. I'm using a stack of 4x48 port switches, a stack of 2, and two 24-port switches in closets. PoE works great, as do the VLANs and CoS.
I'm not sure which metrics you're looking for. However, they do have SNMP, so you can get a lot of data through Spiceworks. There's plenty of current status in the management interface. On the quirky side, I haven't found a command line configuration tool yet, but the web interface is very adequate, though a tad slow.
Mar 18, 2011 at 6:34 UTC
That's a lot of money, but if you want Cisco, you'll need to spend it. Give the DLink XStack series a look. 2 x DGS-somethings should meet your needs. (We have about 40 units of DES-3550, but they're only 100Mbps to the edge.)
HP seem to get the respect of Cisco in performance, but the kudos on price and support.
Mar 18, 2011 at 6:36 UTC
@BizDPS - interesting to hear of your experience with Netgear - more recent that my trial of them 2 or 3 years ago. I found them to not be robust enough. Sounds like they've progressed :)
Mar 18, 2011 at 7:36 UTC
I would just stick with procurve unless you need layer 4. I wouldn't recommend H3C at this moment in time. We have just installed 2 of them and the performance is terrible. It has been escalated through HP but no resolution on it yet. I think some borrowed Cisco's are going to be found shortly to prove the network.
Mar 18, 2011 at 8:06 UTC
Obviously, Cisco makes a great product, but you get similar performance and features (typically at a lower price point) out of HP Procurves including a lifetime warranty to boot. HP's are great. We use them and I have used them for years.
Go with the two 48 port switches. The backend in the switches can handle what you throw at them.
Mar 18, 2011 at 8:26 UTC
Pittsburgh Computer Solutions is an IT service provider.
Netgear is what we've been implementing and they seem to run find...so far....
Mar 18, 2011 at 9:27 UTC
Check out the Juniper EX line of switches before you think of Cisco. You can get new Juniper cheaper than used Cisco. Plus if you compare the hardware (ram and flash) the Juniper beats the Cisco.
Mar 18, 2011 at 9:39 UTC
+1 Rivitir
+1 Cisco
But at that price point, I don't think you are ready for Cisco equipment. I would look into Juniper and HP, from my experiences.
Mar 18, 2011 at 10:07 UTC
+1 Rivitir
+1 Cisco 3560's very nice. get it with PoE even if you don't use it now. You have it ready to go. 2960's also solid choices.
I found that with Cisco the product, support has been outstanding. I've done extensive testing with HP, Netgear and Cisco for a Surveillance system for a Casino. HP couldn't be bothered providing any assistance or help to resolve issues. Netgear just wasn't mature enough. Now Cisco went completely overboard in that I had CCIE's and VP's w/24x7 access home phone and cell numbers to resolve any issues we might come up with including a few calls from the CEO of Cisco. So for me it was a no brainer. I haven't looked back.
Mar 18, 2011 at 10:29 UTC
We were in the same position about 9 months ago, and we were looking at everything: Netgear, HP, Cisco, etc.
After much searching it came down to two: Cisco and Juniper.
We went with Juniper for three reasons: Price, Hardware specs and the JunOS
Price: As stated Juniper costs less than Cisco
Hardware: The 48port EX3200's we bought have full GB speed on each port and has plenty of memory and proccessor speed.
JunOS: Juniper has really made strides in their JunOS software. With very little training (about 4 hours total) I can deconstruct the entire structure of the configurations of the switches. They are setup very logically and considering I usually hate using CLI to work on devices that says a lot.
We liked the switches so much we also bought a pair of SRX210 routers for our mainline firewalls. The JunOS is nearly identical and required even less training to get me up to speed on using it.
Hope that helps,
Mar 18, 2011 at 11:13 UTC
Stick w/ Procurves. Rock solid harware, lifetime warranties, they're just as good as Cisco gear, cheaper and they're MUCH easier to use. IOS is a pain.....
Mar 18, 2011 at 11:33 UTC
I have been happy with all the Extreme Networks gear, it's been solid.
We have 6 Summit x450-e 48p (48 port GigE with POE layer 3) stacked then another 8 around the campus/ other sites. If your new to managed switches XOS is quick to learn.
Mar 18, 2011 at 11:35 UTC
Did this in 2007...
We already had a Daisy Chained GB Cat6 Network but I couldn't Identify issues with that setup. Network / Physical Cabling / Server ? Dunno?
Re-Wire Building CAT6 Drops all over the place
Each Office got ~2 Different Positions with 2 Wires Per Position
- Remove Daisy Chain Equipment (Unmanaged Switches)
Purchase Switches
Purchased Used / Refurbished Cisco Equipment 3640's POE at the time
48 Port ~4k each Std Firmware not enhanced No SmartNet
3560's great but were too new for us at the time.
many others
- Been Solid on the Cable Plant Since
Mar 18, 2011 at 11:58 UTC
Netgear is what we've been implementing and they seem to run find...so far....
+1 for Netgear
We had a lot of HP Procurves which worked, but we have slowly migragted over to Netgear switches with POE for voip phones and they work great and are at pretty good pricing.

Where are the templates?
There's a question that we get so frequently that it's really beyond FAQ status; it's an Always Asked Question. The question goes something like this:
It's great that you can build something in Dabble DB so easily from scratch, but why don't you publish some prebuilt templates so people can get going even quicker?
Having a gallery of applications as the starting point generally seems so obvious that many people assume that we simply haven't gotten to it yet, and probably wonder what exactly we're waiting for. We thought it was obvious too, so much so that we tried having examples front and center in an early version of Dabble, tested the approach with real users, and promptly removed it. Yes, it turns out this starting point isn't our next feature, it's an ex-feature.
Why? Because they made new users' experiences worse, not better. Time after time, what we'd see is that the users that were starting from templates (and given the choice, almost everyone does) were less successful and less interested in using the application than those who started from scratch or by importing data. Many people that tried out the version with templates never even got as far as adding their own data, much less customizing the fields or views or expanding the model. Those who started from scratch were more engaged, more excited, and were more likely to start using the tool day to day - because what they were building was their idea of a project manager, an event planner, or whatever else, not someone else's.
Now, this doesn't mean templates can't or shouldn't have *some* place in Dabble. They may well be a source of ideas for users who have already learned to build their own solutions, and could even function as documentation for more advanced features. But I don't think they should be the first thing people see if they're just going to mask what's really cool about Dabble: that it really is that easy to just sit down and build your own applications. We'll leave the starter application gallery to those tools that need it.

Is your child's high-risk behaviors causing problems at home and school? Have you tried seeking therapy from home with no significant change? A change in environment, behavior assessment, and a diverse therapy team might be just what your teen needs. Trails Carolina's wilderness therapy goes beyond the typical wilderness therapy approach to ensure the greatest chance for successful treatment.
Multi-perspective behavior assessment
With more varied input and perspectives for assessing a situation, you can develop a more thorough understanding and plan of action. Unlike the narrowed view of traditional therapy of weekly meetings with a single therapist, a wilderness therapy program provides a team of experts working with your child. At Trails, our team consists of:
A therapeutic team – our team of therapists includes both individual and family professionals. The therapy teams works together with the insight from all staff for a comprehensive behavior assessment.
Rather than looking just at troubled behaviors and giving a quick fix, a thorough behavior assessment takes into account:
- Physical health
- Mental health
- Background
- Family dynamics
- Home and school environments
- Risk behaviors
With weekly family therapy and primary therapy three times per week, teens are continually working on new ways to communicate, cope with emotions and take control of their behavior.
A wilderness team – while the students are on expeditions of up to three weeks at a time, there is constant supervision and leadership that provides in the moment feedback and teaching. Expert field instructors take care to ensure the students are continually safe while exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains.
A residential team – having a separate care team while not on expedition allows students the opportunity to interact with a variety of leaders. The base camp team helps teens take what they've learned from wilderness therapy and apply it to a residential setting.
Academic teachers – at basecamp, students are assisted by our certified teacher to ensure they are prepared for their return to school. The teacher works with a student's current school to provide the specific help they need.
An equine specialist – learn how troubled teens benefit from equine assisted therapy by reading here. While at basecamp, students participate in daily equine therapy to better understand their emotions and connect with others.
Not just in the wilderness
Trails uses multiple settings and professional perspectives to ensure a comprehensive behavior assessment and treatment program for every teen. Unlike most wilderness therapy programs, Trails has a base camp where the teens spend about 25 percent of their time.
Though a wilderness environment is helpful in getting teens out of their comfort zone and into a new environment, the base camp offers a home-like structure for teens to practice what they've been learning. The change in settings offers teens a variety of settings in which to reinforce skills and confidence. With academic support, equine therapy and group therapy at base camp, teens are more prepared for their transition home.
