Sabre Travel Network Introduces Jurni Network
Leisure Travel Business Will Increase Agency and Supplier Revenue Through
Market Intelligence, Drive Highly Targeted Merchandising of Preferred Supplier
Oct 22, 2003, 01:00 ET from Sabre Travel Network
SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In a move to further penetrate the leisure travel market through a new offline sales model, Sabre Travel Network, a Sabre Holdings (NYSE: TSG) company, today announced the creation of Jurni Network, a unique offline leisure travel agency consortium. Jurni Network will provide agency members access to the industry's most sophisticated market intelligence combined with highly targeted marketing programs, and will offer preferred suppliers the opportunity to increase sales through the preferencing of their products at the agents' desktop. The consortium will be backed by proven products and services that leverage the industry expertise, travel merchandising and technology capabilities across Sabre Holdings. Nexion Component of Jurni Network Sabre Travel Network has recently signed an agreement to purchase the assets of Nexion, Inc. as a component of the creation of Jurni Network. This purchase is expected to bring 750 independent agents as charter members of Jurni. It is also expected to enable the development of a unique integrated desktop application for Jurni agents, founded on the Nexion technology platform, that allows Jurni Network to merchandise preferred supplier offerings at the point-of-sale. Nexion began as a consumer travel site, then converted to become a host travel agency for offline leisure travel professionals in 1998. Headquartered in San Jose, California, Nexion has developed an exclusive Internet-based technology platform that provides access to the widest possible travel inventory. Nexion currently connects travel professionals with all four major global distribution systems, as well as graphical cruise booking, Web fares and the air consolidator shopping mall, in one single, affordable platform using a PC and a local Internet connection. While Nexion's technology and professional expertise is expected to support Jurni Network, Sabre Travel Network plans to continue to operate Nexion as a host agency, strengthening Sabre Travel Network's capabilities and relationships with offline leisure travel agencies. Travel Product Offerings Starting next quarter, Jurni agents will gain access to a wide range of leisure travel products sourced from Travelocity, Site59, Nexion and Sabre Exclusives merchant hotels, in addition to negotiated products from preferred suppliers. "Jurni Network will transform the traditional roles of agencies, suppliers and the GDS in this new consortium model," said Eric J. Speck, chief marketing officer of Sabre Holdings. "It will enhance the value proposition offered to both agencies and suppliers through a typical agency network with in-depth traveler data and targeted marketing programs for agents and preferenced merchandising opportunities for preferred suppliers. By partnering with Jurni members, Jurni Network will be able to advance its efforts to be actively involved in retailing travel products to drive more revenue for participating suppliers, Jurni members and Sabre Travel Network." Market Intelligence Offering Jurni Network is working with Equitec, a leader in providing consumer- based business intelligence solutions. Equitec leverages proven methodologies and development relationships with world leaders in data assets and analytical software. This unique combination of resources enables Equitec's clients to accurately understand and predict consumer behavior, enhance customer value and effectively market their products and services. Through the services of this provider, Jurni Network will offer sophisticated market intelligence to enhance agents' ability to sell through access to knowledge about specific consumer groups' travel trends, behaviors and preferences. This customer insight will help agents predict which travel products certain groups of shoppers within their own customer base are most likely to buy. The database offering will be integrated at the agent's desktop and will also incorporate online shopping data to identify sales and shopping trends. The market intelligence, travel products and booking capabilities will all be integrated into a single, easy-to-use desktop booking tool that interfaces with any GDS or booking interface. "Jurni Network offers a new leisure travel sales model that will offer significant revenue opportunities to travel agency members, preferred suppliers and Sabre Travel Network," continued Speck. "It will offer member agencies a means to conduct customized marketing efforts they've never been able to do before. It will provide a limited group of preferred suppliers a new channel to merchandise their products effectively through sales tools that preference their products on the agent's desktops. And it will offer travelers the opportunity to work with agents who can anticipate their desires and match them immediately with great travel deals." Jurni Network Enters Market with Industry Firsts -- Market Intelligence -- First agency network to offer in-depth, sophisticated traveler segmentation data from offline and online sources coupled with highly targeted marketing programs that will enable agents at their desktop to sell the right product to the right person. -- Technology -- First consortium to provide a desktop application that provides preferenced merchandising opportunities on a GDS-independent platform. -- Unmatched travel products -- access to products sourced from multiple acquired and existing Sabre Holdings travel products, in addition to negotiated products from preferred suppliers. Jurni Network Leadership Chris Kroeger will serve as general manager of Jurni Network. He most recently held the position of senior vice president of Sabre Travel Network, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Kroeger began his career with Sabre Holdings in 1989 in the market research department. Subsequent positions have included product marketing for airline distribution services, regional sales manager in the western U.S. and national agency accounts divisions, and leadership roles responsible for the accounts of international travel agency customers in Latin America and the Caribbean, and Europe, Middle East and Africa. "Chris has a unique skill set of understanding agencies, both small and large, building solutions based on customer needs, and delivering value to travel suppliers," said Speck. "This is what Jurni Network is all about." Jurni Network Benefits Industry-leading benefits of the Jurni Network will include: -- Travel agencies -- Unique market intelligence and highly targeted marketing programs -- One-of-a-kind desktop booking tool integrated with any GDS and database information -- Dedicated customer service team and training -- Access to exceptional travel products -- Suppliers -- Valuable agency network for efficient, highly targeted retailing of their travel product -- Access to real-time reporting mechanisms -- Technology capabilities and travel merchandising expertise from across Sabre Holdings -- Travelers -- Opportunity to work with agencies who can provide a great shopping experience through knowledge about their preferences More information on Jurni Network can be found at www.jurni.com .

Thanks Bryan, i went to many portals even support.google.com but this information regarding editing of tetherxp.inf could not be located. It came very handy and to the point (thats to screenshots). This helped, it immediately recognized my samsung Y USB.
I specifically like the part " Are you going to buy a wireless adapter just to connect that computer on your Samsung Galaxy Y hotspot? No, there is no need for you to buy that, your Android Galaxy Y has a USB tethering feature also where you can use the bundled USB cable."
One should realize the POWER of these simple devices and not just run around ...

Asus has dropped a bit of a clanger with the model code for the M4A78T-E. The name suggests a fourth generation Socket AM3 AMD Phenom II motherboard with an AMD 780 chipset. In fact the chipset is an AMD 790GX so we would expect this model to be called the M4A79G-E or something. It would be rude to call this model code an error but it is certainly confusing and it means that the M4A78T-E is very similar to the Asus M4A79T Deluxe that we have previously reviewed.
The big difference is that one model uses the 790GX chipset while the other has the 790FX. That may not sound like a huge change but it affects almost every aspect of both motherboards. The dominant feature of the Asus M4A79T Deluxe must surely be the quad PCI Express graphics slots (2x16, 1x16 and 2x8 or 4x8) which allow you to combine your Socket AM3 Phenom II with as many as four ATi Radeon graphics cards.
This is ideal for a couple of niche applications such as PCs with four feeble graphics cards that support a video wall of eight TFTS or desktop super computers that offload a chunk of the workload from the CPU to the GPU but in the main we're talking about games.
The idea of plugging three or four Radeon HD 4850s into a gaming PC seems like a questionable move as the CrossFireX drivers are bound to cause you problems in certain games. The real killer, however, is the CPU.
If you're going the whole hog and want to fill your PC with £500 of HD 4850s or £700 of HD 4870s are you really going to base your gaming PC on Phenom II or might you sidle off down the Core i7 route?
Phenom II is a vast improvement over Phenom and Athlon 64 but it struggles against Core 2 and it's left in the dust by Core i7. If you should happen to want to combine a Phenom II with loads of PCI Express the Asus M4A79T Deluxe is a good place to start but frankly we think it's the right answer to the wrong question.
The M4A78T-E is a different proposition as it has dual PCI Express graphics slots (one x16 or dual x8) and it includes Radeon HD 3300 integrated graphics. We're familiar with this graphics core and have seen it in a number of motherboards such as the MSI DKA790GX but this is the first time we have seen HD 3300 graphics combined with Phenom II and DDR3 memory.
We used a Phenom II X4 810 in our testing and found that we could overclock from the stock speed of 2.6GHz to 3.38GHz, by raising the base clock from 200MHz to 260MHz, when we used integrated graphics and a slightly lower speed of 3.31GHz with a Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics card installed. That's in line with our findings with the Asus M4A79T Deluxe and a touch slower than our current overclocking favourite, the Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P.

But Netflix itself is the primary distributor, and it outbid HBO, AMC and all the rest to make it the streaming service's first original programming, launching the entire first season back on Feb. 1.AdvertisementSo, yeah, it's probably a good idea for Netflix and the show's writers to come up with some creative ways to make that money back. They should be a little less ... awkward than this, though. Then again, unless you're Foghorn Leghorn, everything said in a fake Southern accent sounds awkward.[Update] Viewers of the show say that "House of Cards" frequently breaks the fourth wall, so this placement and its forced introduction is likely deliberate and keeping with its themes.AdvertisementYouTube video uploaded by cruellordsoth [h/t mindsale]Reply131 repliesLeave a reply

Normally that's not even man portable weapon.... sorry, ONE-man portable weapon. Such weapon is carried by a group in separate parts. Unless of course, you brought Power armor into account.
Otherwise, grenade launcher and all sort of shoulder-carired weapon.

Heavy Class soldiers, if you're going for realism, will carry no heavier than any of these: - 1 Rocket launcher or - 1 M60 And those are their primary weapons alongside their standard issue rifles. Powered armor heavy class soldiers may take it up a notch and carry double the equipment weight. Hell, if they're that strong maybe you can give them an Avenger.

- An M60 is a general-purpose machinegun with mixed reviews. Try the M240 if you want a gun of the same caliber and class while being current (it replaced nearly all M60s in US Army/Marine service). Depending on the size of the powered armor, an M240 might just function like an oversized rifle.
Other weapons you can consider are the Barret 50-caliber rifles (The M82A2 model for example). Or maybe even a modified version of the Mk-19 40mm Grenade Launching Machinegun. FIM-92 Stinger misisles would also be plausible for an antiaircraft role.

I'm not going with M60s because I heard that it has a reputation for jamming.
And get this, Thunder Crash was actually given M60s. Before Thunder Crash had it's own arsenal of weapons, it was given hand-me downs from the US armed forces. And M60s were one of them. Fed up with the design flaws of the M60s, Thunder Crash made demands for M2 Brownings, and they got them. But these M2 Brownings were heavily modified for general purpose. |

CENTERVILLE, Mass. – Freshman goalie Alex Peck (Kirkland, Que.) of the Wentworth hockey team became the fourth Leopard to earn weekly honors from the ECAC as he was named the ECAC Northeast Rookie of the Week for the week ending December 11.

- Yield:makes 4 sandwiches
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:45 minutes
- Rated:
- For the Slaw:
- 1 small head cabbage, finely shredded (about 1 1/2 quarts)
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- For the Tartar Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed, drained, and chopped
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- For the Fish:
- 1 1/2 to 2 quarts peanut oil
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 12 ounces cod filet, cut into four 3-ounce portions
- 1 cup light beer
- 4 soft toasted burger buns
For the Slaw: Toss cabbage and onion with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and lots of black pepper and set aside. Meanwhile, combine vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, and sugar in a medium bowl and set aside for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, Make the Tartar Sauce: Combine mayonnaise, relish, capers, sugar, and dijon mustard. Set aside.
To finish slaw, pick up salted cabbage and onions in batches with your bare hands and squeeze out excess moisture. Transfer to bowl with dressing. Discard excess liquid. Toss slaw to combine and season to taste with more salt and pepper if desired.
For the Fish: Preheat oil to 350°F in a large wok, Dutch oven, or deep fryer. Combine 1 cup of flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, baking powder, and paprika in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Place remaining flour in a large bowl. Add fish and toss to coat.
Add beer to flour/cornstarch mixture and whisk until a batter is just formed. A few small lumps of dry flour are ok. Transfer fish to batter and turn to coat. Working one piece at a time, pick up the fish and allow excess batter to drip back into the bowl. Return it to the bowl with dry flour and quickly coat it on both sides. Pick up the fish with your hands, tossing it gently in your open finger to get rid of excess flour. Carefully lower it into the hot oil. Repeat with remaining fish.
Cook, shaking the pan gently and agitating the oil with a wire mesh spider or tongs constantly, turning the fish until it is golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt.
To serve, place a small pile of slaw on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a piece of fish and a dollop of tartar sauce. Close buns. Serve with extra slaw and sauce on the side.

Weir, who is averaging 15.3 ppg, 10.8 rpg and 3.5 bpg, won the award for the third time in the seven weeks that it has been given out this season. Her stellar play kept NAIA Division II No. 21 Point Park (12-0, 2-0 KIAC) as one of only three remaining unbeaten teams in the country.
Weir racked up 41 points, 29 rebounds and 11 blocks in the two games last week while shooting 53 percent from the field and 71 percent from the foul line.
Her biggest game of the week came in a matchup of local, unbeaten teams Dec. 17 when she totaled 26 points, 16 rebounds and six blocks in a n 84-70 victory at La Roche. Weir had 15 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks by halftime, which sent the Pioneers on their way to opening up a 25-point lead in the second half.
Weir followed that up with 16 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks in a home win over Mt. Vernon Nazarene Dec. 19. She battled foul trouble that limited her to nine minutes the first half but ended up surpassing her season averages in points, rebounds and blocks as the Pioneers improved to 12-0 overall.
Weir ranks second in NAIA Division II in blocks per game (3.5) and seventh in rebounds per game (10.8). Her field-goal percentage of .544 is 23rd in the nation.
Point Park has had five of the seven KIAC Women's Basketball Player of the Week honorees so far this year. Besides Weir three times, Katresa Savisky (Nov. 4) and Kayla Kiriau (Dec. 16) are other Pioneers to get the recognition.
The Pioneers and Weir are off the the Christmas holiday before getting back into action Jan. 4-5 at Indiana Southeast and Brescia (Ky.) for a pair of KIAC road games.

Webi needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 46 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
Webissimus is a European web agency : building websites, e-commerce and web solutions. We are looking for a new logo.
Our web solutions would be of "new generation": dynamic ; intuitive ; allowing an easy exchange and sharing of information with clients ; compatible with Ipad, Iphone, smartphones ; web 2.0/HTML 5 ; professional style ; ...
http://www.webissimus.com (in French only)
The company name could be considered of 2 parts: "Web" for the "world wide web" and "issimus" that comes from the latin and means "the most" (it is a superlative).
Small and medium enterprises – all sectors
1. TEXT: We would like to have a logo with both the text "Webissimus" and the tagline "Boost Your Business" and also a version with only "Webissimus".
2. ICON: The new logo COULD be composed of a small icon interlaced or linked with the text (see examples in attached files names interlaced_X) OR a rounded square with a simple icon inside (see our current logo – the idea was to use this rounded square alone (like an Iphone application icon)). The icon should NOT be a cloud and we were not convinced by the letter "W" (used twice next to "Webissimus").
3. FONT: we would like to see logo concepts with straight, square fonts. The font should be easily readable.
4. COLOR: We don't want red or yellow, we think these colors are too aggresive. And please, avoid "chocolate and green" palette. We have a preference for blue and green colors.
The text "Webissimus" should be composed of 2 colors (like in our current logo): one for "Web" and one for "issimus".

So I gathered the kidlets and we took the 2 hour journey south to the big smoke.
After seeing Megs post about the French Deli...I was reminded that STILL haven't tried a Macaron...so that was on the culinary to do list. I accidentally found these in the "Cakeshop" in Takapuna. I had to try one of each flavour...well I did share with the kids..next time I'm having one all to my self! They were as good as people go on about. Those French and their genius culinary ideas!
Finding live crabs was on the to do list too as I haven't had any crab curry in ages. So I decided to hit the "Fish Market" Down at the waterfront. Seriously, I'm usually the navigator when we go to Auckland, so having to navigate and drive was a bit hit and miss. And with all the changes going on around Auckland at the moment...I may have gotten my self a bit lost once or twice!
This is where I stumbled across the Wynyard Wharf. I found parking right outside the fish market, where someone was fixing the ticket gate and ended up getting free parking in the end, score! Turns out they didn't have any crabs :(
At the Wynyard Wharf the kids had great fun on the playground. There is also a tram that runs around that part of the wharf.
The foot traffic down there was amazing. It was great people watching. Obviously a lot of international visitors sight seeing after a great semifinal the night before.
We headed to the "Plastic Waka". It was in the headlines because a) It cost a lot of money for a temporary structure and b) It wasn't completed before the RWC began. So with all the talk of how much tax payer money went into it...I went to get my part of it. And it was great! If I didn't have a restless toddler in a push chair I would have spent more time reading all about the NZ Maori Rugby players. We stood in line and went in the back part which had a 3D movie. The kids thought it was a hoot! The 6 minute movie is about the LEGEND of Maui and NZ
We continued walking along to the Cloud, by then the kids were complaining about sore legs...blah blah blah. So we pretty much walked there and then turned to walk all the way back to the car. But at least we got to see something.
We left the city before peak rush hour to Papakura to surprise my Sister in Law for her birthday. The kids excitedly decorated the house with streamers and balloons all ready to yell "surprise" when she walked in after work.
We all went out for dinner to Denny's. My first time! And probably my last ;) There's something about a place that has "Home Improvement" on TV in the dining room that was a tad weird for me! Its all just mostly fried food anyway. Classic American Dining.
I'm starting to really like that part of the city. Takapuna and Devonport is a lovely place.
On my journey I saw so many cars with flags...but this one took the cake. In front of the car in front of me was a white van with 4 Massive Tongan flags and two small ones! Even other pedestrians thought it was funny as. I don't advocate driving a taking photos! I was stopped at a red light!
And finally on the way home we stopped in at the Italian Cafe in Kaiwaka. Another thing on the to do list. Apparently they serve chocolate croissants, so I picked one up along with an almond one. OH my Gosh! So Good! Will be doing that again next time we pass through on the way to Auckland.
Travelling with three kids on my own was exhausting but totally worth it.

OnLive Showcases New Games and Features at E3 2012
OnLive Cloud Gaming Demonstrated on LG Smart TVs With Google TV; OnLive Launches One-Click In-Browser Cloud Gaming; OnLive Enables In-Game Live Spectating; OnLive Hits Two-Year Mark With Millions of Users and 100% Uptime (June 05, 2012)LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/05/12 -- E3 Expo, 2012 - OnLive, Inc., the pioneer of on-demand cloud gaming, announced today that it will be showcasing a broad range of new video games as well as breakthrough new features at OnLive's Booth #535, South Hall at the Electronic Entertainment Expo from June 5-7 in Los Angeles.
[This is a summary release of new OnLive features. For details, please see separate releases for OnLive Cloud Gaming on LG Smart TVs, OnLive In-Browser Cloud Gaming, and OnLive MultiView In-Game Live Spectating. Also, a fourth release details OnLive's exclusive previews of hot, coming soon titles. Thank you.]
OnLive Cloud Gaming Demonstrated on LG Smart TVs with Google TV
OnLive is demonstrating the OnLive® Game Service on the next-generation LG Smart TV with Google TV (G2 Series) from LG Electronics. Capitalizing on the power of LG's L9 dual-core processor, the service will make hundreds of top-tier video games from more than 60 publishers playable on-demand, without a console or PC. When the service becomes available, LG G2 TV owners will also enjoy free instant access to exclusive OnLive social features such as worldwide massive spectating, the brand-new OnLive MultiView spectating capability, Brag Clip video recording and Facebook sharing. Select 3D games, using the popular LG CINEMA 3D glasses, are planned for a future software update.
With just a few taps of the Universal OnLive Wireless Controller or any compatible game controller, LG G2 TV owners will be able to jump in and play OnLive's growing library of hundreds of top-tier, console-class video games on-demand. Instant demos are available for nearly every game so players can experience up to 30 minutes of each game free before deciding what to buy, and then continue playing where the demo left off.
OnLive One-Click In-Browser Cloud Gaming Delivers Full-featured Web-based Gaming
OnLive released today a major update to its In-Browser Gaming capabilities, enabling publishers/retailers to offer one-click, instant play of hundreds of games from OnLive's top-tier library or any partner-provided games in nearly any PC or Mac® browser, and soon, from browsers in OnLive-enabled TVs, tablets or phones. No signup or login necessary: In just one click, gamers jump into a white-label gaming experience completely defined by the retailer or publisher's website, from startup to return dialogs to window skinning, utilizing OnLive features such as OnLive MultiView in-game live spectating, multiplayer, voice chat, touch support and secure transaction interfaces. OnLive In-Browser Gaming is live today in North America, Europe and soon worldwide. Check out game trials in OnLive's game catalog at www.onlive.com/games/featuredgames to see OnLive's In-Browser Gaming service in action, skinned with a simple interface to showcase base functionality.
OnLive In-Browser Gaming was designed for easy integration into any Web destination, such as partner websites, Facebook pages, tweets or fan sites. Using standard HTML or Flash, the partner website both skins and controls the flow of the entire experience. A simple URL launches any game, whether from OnLive's library or partner provided. Upon completion of gameplay, the website can decide whether the user returns to the web page for download, for a disc upsell to specific platforms, to purchase the game for continued play through OnLive on the device they are using, or any combination of these choices. No more lost sales (and disappointment) to users who can play a cloud demo on their device, but lack a high-end PC or platform that can play the game. Plus, OnLive opens up new opportunities to sell games for OnLive-enabled TVs, tablets and phones.
A New Era in Social Gaming with OnLive MultiView
OnLive has steadily pioneered unique social gaming experiences, such as watching other gamers play live in the massive spectating Arena while voice chatting and messaging with players and spectators around the world. Now with the introduction of the groundbreaking OnLive MultiView feature, users will be able to take social spectating one step further by watching three other players' game sessions while continuing to play their game. For co-op and multiplayer games, OnLive MultiView adds entirely new possibilities for coordinating tactics with teammates. For everyone, it adds an exciting new social dimension -- the ability to keep tabs on three fellow gamers simultaneously in the same or completely different games, to race them, compete against them, cheer them or just watch them play, without ever leaving your own game.
OnLive MultiView is integrated into the OnLive experience, accessible instantly at the push of a button -- something only OnLive cloud-based gaming is able to achieve with no changes required by developers. The feature is currently in beta and is slated for full release later this summer.
"OnLive continues to pioneer exciting new experiences that are instantly and easily accessible for everyone," said Steve Perlman, OnLive Founder and CEO. "OnLive cloud technology is the future, and we are thrilled to continue to bring its unique capabilities to light to a broader audience."
Millions of Subscribers with 100% Uptime 24/7 at Two-year Anniversary and Counting
OnLive went live at E3 2010 with just 19 games in its library on only PCs and Macs over Ethernet. OnLive faced a huge wall of skepticism as to whether the technology would ever work and if it did, whether it could scale, and even then, whether it could reliably deliver gameplay on a consistent basis over consumer broadband connections.
Two years later at E3 2012, OnLive is celebrating its two-year anniversary with hundreds of games from over 60 publishers, and is not only available on PCs and Macs, but on TVs, tablets and smartphones over wired, Wi-Fi and cellular connections. OnLive has millions of subscribers worldwide, with international spectating, multiplayer and voice chat, and despite the immense complexity of operating such a large and intricate real-time service across continents and oceans, OnLive has had 100% uptime 24/7 since launch. OnLive not only works at scale, but it works reliably across a wide range of consumer devices and broadband connections. As OnLive has become integrated into more and more devices, and its game library has grown deeper and wider, we are already seeing that the vision of OnLive has become a reality.
OnLive's roots go back much farther than the two years since launch. Today's achievements are the culmination of over a decade of work by an incredibly dedicated team of people and the greater ecosystem of our publisher and technology partners to bring OnLive from the lab and into a commercial product offering, overcoming immense technical and business obstacles. OnLive has filed what may well be one of the largest and most fundamental patent portfolios ever by a technology startup, certainly for a set of inventions met with such skepticism that at their unveiling they were declared impossible. The patents are a reflection of the depth and breadth of the OnLive vision, and the confidence OnLive and its partners held from the outset that OnLive would change everything -- gaming, entertainment, computing, and communications.

Cadillac Records [Blu-ray] [Canadian]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
CADILLAC RECORDS is a writer/director Darnell Martin's riveting ensemble film depicting the rise, in the early-50s to late-60s, of key musical figures at the crossroads between blues, rhythm & blues, and rock & roll. Based on the true story of the original Chicago-based purveyors of electric blues, Chess Records, it centers on two men: Leonard Chess (Adrien Brody), a Polish-Jewish nightclub owner; and Muddy Waters (Jeffrey Wright), a transplanted Mississippi sharecropper with sights set on musical stardom. After hearing Waters's electrified Delta blues during a tussle at his nightclub, Chess decides to pool his resources into releasing what were then called "race records." Soon a coterie of label talent, from Little Walter and Howlin' Wolf, to Chuck Berry and Etta James, help to propel the fledgling label to the top of the charts--with each hit-maker rewarded by Chess with a shiny new Cadillac automobile. While sometimes playing loose with some minor historical points, the film truly hits the mark with its attention to visual detail, from costumes and cars, down to vintage recording equipment, all of it is a feast for period buffs. But what truly makes CADILLAC RECORDS captivating are the exceptional musical performances of Beyonce Knowles (Etta James) and Mos Def (Chuck Berry), two of the finest musicians-turned-actors of their time. Ultimately, CADILLAC RECORDS' most potent message may be the boundless ability that much of this music had in transcending the unsettling realities facing blacks of the time. From Payola (the practice of bribing disc jockeys to play "race records") and segregation, to white performers pilfering songs written by blacks, all of it is handled with admirable aplomb in this enjoyable, often edifying, film.

Critic Reviews
"Knowles captures James' emotional vulnerability and is substantially better than she was in DREAMGIRLS....She shines most when singing."
USA Today
"Mos Def makes a terrific Berry, all flash and confidence, and Wright offers a memorably soulful take on Waters..."
Los Angeles Times
"[A] rollicking and insightful celebration of Chicago blues in its hectic golden age....Enriched by the skill and verve of a prodigious ensemble..."
New York Times
"The casting throughout is successful. Columbus Short suggests the building inner torments of Little Walter, and Cedric the Entertainer plays the singer-songwriter Willie Dixon as a creator and synthesizer."
Chicago Sun-Times
"Wright plays Waters as an elegant tomcat in boxy suits....Then there's Chuck Berry -- played by Mos Def, who nails the legend's apple-cheeked charisma as well as his saucy grooves." -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
3 stars out of 5 -- "Beyonce is luminous as the driven diva. Also excellent is Mos Def as an up-for-anything Chuck Berry."
Total Film
3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he music kicks up a storm, and the real revelation is Knowles, who burns a hole in the screen as sexy, drug-addled siren Etta..."
"[Beyonce Knowles] performs dynamic versions of Etta James classics and delivers the dramatic goods as the troubled and badly addicted young woman who lives the blues she sings."
Hollywood Reporter
"Jeffrey Wright is superb as Muddy Waters. Columbus Short is scarily mercurial as Little Walter."
Wall Street Journal

93108 updated: Oct 15, 2011, 9:00 AM
By The Urban Hikers, Peter Hartmann & Stacey Wright
This week we continued our quest to walk all 256 miles of public streets within the city limits of Santa Barbara, and walked parts of town that many confuse as being Montecito. In reality, with the exception of Coast Village Road, these neighborhoods are and have always been a part of the City of Santa Barbara.
# # # #
Back in the day - as in the 1960's, 70's and even into the 80's - we can recall that the residents of our town often identified their neighborhoods in much more specific terms. If asked where you live, the response would often include the street you lived on, or the closest recognizable street to most people. So for example if you lived on or near Barker Pass you would simply reply "Barker Pass". Or you might refer to your neighborhood as "Arcady". Or "Sycamore Canyon". Or "Picacho"....Today, many people living in the tony 93108 zip code generally report that they live in Montecito. And you know what? That ain't always the truth. We hate to admit it, but it bugs these urban hikers, who like the old-fashion, more modest (and truthful) distinctions.
The fact of the matter is, the area involving the 93108 zip code boasts some of the most spectacular real estate in the world. The views are often the most prominent feature, but the pads usually aren't half bad either. And this is a tradition that goes way back. In other words, if you have an address on Cima Linda, there should be absolutely no shame in admitting that you live in Santa Barbara. In fact, back in the day, you wouldn't have found a true Montecitoan claiming to be one. Instead, the genteel amongst us simply used a return address of "Santa Barbara, 93108". That was sufficient.
The neighborhoods of the 93108 have a variety of spectacular ocean views and beautiful rural areas, and we've thoroughly enjoyed them during our required travels of this vicinity. We think they're definitely worth experiencing firsthand, and are certain many of the urban hikers amongst us include these routes in their regular hikes.
And then there's Coast Village Road. We enjoyed this part of Santa Barbara so much that we devoted an entire column to it. So for now, we'll share with you a few of the Coast Village addresses that actually lie within the city limits, thanks to its annexation back in the 1950's.
There are now hundreds of incredibly impressive homes in the area of Santa Barbara adjacent to Montecito. But, around the turn of the century there were just a handful. Some of the present day mansions are those same old homes which sat on the impressive estates, while others are more modern. Either way, we delighted in the properties we saw, although catching a glimpse inside the hedges or gates was often difficult if not downright impossible.
But speaking of the handful of magnificent estates from the end of the last century, we'll now share a bit about three of the most prominent of their day, as well as something about a beautiful park. We'll also give you a bit of history about the Montecito Country Club, which ironically has never spent even a day of its existence within the boundaries of Montecito.
Perhaps the most interesting and well documented estate among our "top three" is the C.K.G. Billings Estate. Originally 188 acres in size, the property was located at what is now Cima Linda Lane, and extended all the way to Salinas Street.
Cornelius Kingsley Garrison Billings was an interesting character. Born in New York in 1861, and named after his father's business partner (later to be called "Ben" by his father after a break-up of the partnership), he first "wintered" in Santa Barbara around the turn of the century. An "Eastern financier", he had a fascination for matinee riding, which is akin to harness racing. As such, he bought his most prized horse, a mare named Lou Dillon, from a breeder in Santa Ynez. Lou Dillon was the first horse to trot a 2-minute mile, and after spending some time in New York, she came home to Santa Barbara when the Billings family relocated here in in about 1917.
A bit of an eccentric whose estate consisted of a main house and five guest houses, Mr. Billings named nearby streets in honor of his favorite horses and had lavish dinner parties to celebrate them. There is a story about a dinner party that Mr. Billings threw in 1903 to celebrate the opening of his New York stable, during which he and 36 of his best friends sat atop horses inside a New York mansion. As the story goes, the host and his guests ate from specially fashioned trays
which attached to the saddles of their mounts, and drank chilled champagne from rubber hoses that extended into champagne bottles stowed in the horses' saddle bag. Don't believe it? Mr. Billings didn't think you would, so luckily he hired a photographer to document the event.
The Billings home and guest houses were designed by Carlton Monroe Winslow, the architect of the SB Natural History Museum and other notable buildings in Santa Barbara. Oddly, there are very few photos of the home. We found one in the late David Myrick's "Montecito and Santa Barbara; The Days of Great Estates", as well as a very sweet drawing, by a local artist dated 1938.
Fredrick Forrest Peabody, a shirt and collar tycoon from the East Coast also made Santa Barbara his home at the turn of the century. Designed by local architect and bon vivant Francis Underhill, Solana sat on a hill to the east of Eucalyptus Hill Road. The very impressive home served as the abode of Mr. Peabody, of a local philanthropist who built Peabody Stadium (home of Don's football) and donated the property for what is now Peabody Charter School. Today the gates of the home still bear the name "Solana" which translated means "sunny place."
The last of our three "houses on the hills" was called Graholm, and was built by David Gray in 1920. It's perhaps best known to most as the last home of Brook's Institute in Santa Barbara. Designed by a little known architect, Roland Sauter, it's probably the most modest of the estates, and was part of a growing trend toward building Mediterranean homes and estates.
David Gray was the son of John Gray, a self-made man, who in 1903 took the opportunity to invest $10,500 with Henry Ford. Following his father's death in 1906, avid Gray sold the stock in Ford Motor Company back to Mr. Ford in 1919 for a tidy $26 million.
Following the 1925 earthquake David Gray, along with Bernard Hoffman and George Knapp, donated $10,000 apiece to establish the architectural review board, intended to promote the Spanish style reconstruction of downtown Santa Barbara. He also funded the Cabrillo Pavilion located at East Beach. Coincidentally the pavilion's first manager was Roland Sauter, the architect who he had earlier designed Grayholm.
Hale Park is a beautiful a 13-acre unimproved park, which sits at the border of
Santa Barbara and Montecito. Kathleen Hale, the widow and second wife of Fredrick Forrest Peabody, donated the land to the city in 1954 with the instruction that it be made into a public park. We're thankful for her generosity and are happy that it's been maintained in its unimproved state.
Last, but by no means least, we have a little bit of history to share with you about the beautiful Montecito County Club.
In 1916 construction began on the Colonial Revival clubhouse, which was designed by architect Bertram Goodhue, and by February 1918, the club was a going concern. But after only a couple of years, things got tough for the owners, and in 1921, five local men, Misters Billings, Peabody, Knapp, Rives and Edwards, incorporated and assumed ownership of the property. They immediately hired renowned architect George Washington Smith to renovate and expand the club, and in 1922 Max Behr reconfigured the golf course. In 1947 Avery Brundage, a local who had competed in the 1912 Olympics, purchased the club and updated it with a swimming pool, tennis courts, badminton courts and a remodeled club house. Mr. Brundage then sold the property to the Sozan Tsukamoto Company in 1973. In 1998, local architect Bob Easton was enlisted to complete another reconstruction project, and in 2006, the club was purchased by Ty Warner, owner of the Santa Barbara Baltimore, Coral Casino, San Ysidro Ranch, Rancho San Marcos and Sandpiper Golf Course.
There are many wonderful homes and hidden treasures that make up the neighborhoods of "the 93108", and although we have driven most of these roads countless times, it was only by walking them that we came to fully appreciate their unique beauty and rich history. Like so many other areas of town, to walk it is to love it.
As reported last week, our project of hiking every street in the City of Santa Barbara is nearly complete. So we are planning on finishing up with a final hike in November, to which you all are hereby invited. And while our mission of walking each street in Santa Barbara is coming to an end, our wanderings about town will continue indefinitely, as will our weekly Urban Hike submissions to Edhat. In one of David Powdrell's recent Edhat articles (May 2011) he mentioned the concept of "la flaneur", which literally translated means "the person who walks in the city to experience it". We identified with this notion and now happily consider ourselves among "les flaneurs" of modern day Santa Barbara. We will continue to be the urban observers that this project has taught us to become, and will persevere with our walking, observing, documenting and reporting. We've walked many of our city streets more than once, and on subsequent hikes we always see interesting things we missed the first time around. With all that Santa Barbara has to offer, we couldn't possibly stop now. Thanks for your interest, and be sure to join us next month when we finish up with the last of our un-hiked streets. Date, time and route to be announced as soon as we know it.

The "Hitch" - my favorite
I have fished the "hitch" since 1964. I learned it from my guide Clifford House on Portland Creek, Newfoundland. He taught me to place 2 half hitches on the opposite side of the head just as described in Lee Wulff's book. He also instructed me to strike the moment I detected any movement in the vicinity of my waking fly. I have had lots of success with this method in many different rivers for Atlantic Salmon only. I have never fished for steelhead. Sometimes when changing to the other side of the river, I wouldn't bother to change the hitches to the other side of the fly head. It didn't seem to make any difference to the salmon.
After reading Art Lee's book on fishing the "hitch", I changed to placing the hitches on the near side of the head. He made the point that the position of the hook would pull into the corner of the jaw when the salmon turned to back into its lie, resulting in more successful hookups. I can't say I've lost fewer salmon since using Art's method, but his theory sounds good to me.
When to strike or not to strike the take is a question that depends upon the intent of the salmon and the nature of the water you are fishing. Usually in fast water the take is so fast you don't have time to strike, and in slower water the strike is more delibrate. Sometimes there is an explosion without any pull on your line. However, the advice to strike whenever you see movement near your fly does have merrit. I have found many times a salmon will take the fly straight on and not quickly turn. If you don't strike this take, you will probably end up with just a pricked fish. Depending upon the water conditions, quite often you will see the salmon open its mouth. You won't feel a thing, but I will guarentee the fly is in there. After a while, you seem to develop a sense of whether to strike or let it ride, just like in dry fly fishing.
The riffling hitch is my favorite way to fish for Atlantic Salmon; and other than the dry fly, is the most exiciting way to hook a salmon, much more so than just swinging a wet fly. My favorite patterns are Green Butt, Blue Charm and Thunder and Lightning tied in size 4, 6 and 8 on Tiemco #7989 light wire salmon/steelhead hooks.

P.S. Bill, I have taken salmon on the Dartmouth, York and St.-Jean rivers using the "hitch".

3. If the two dogs do engage in a fight, here are some tactics to use if you feel you must break up the dogs:
Even the sweetest dog faces two choices in a fight: stay and battle, or try to flee. The survival instinct kicks in, and you may be surprised by the sudden shift in your dog's demeanor from easygoing to snarling, lunging and biting to protect himself. In a fight, both dogs are moving so quickly that they are biting at anything touching them — including your hands. They are concentrating so much on each other that they can't or won't listen to you. Breaking that concentration can help stop the fight.
- Throw a sweatshirt or jacket on the dogs to distract them.
- Position a backpack, board or any big object in between the two dogs.
- Spray the dogs with water if a garden hose is near.
- Pull the back legs of the dog starting the fight. Use your elbow on his shoulders to pin him. Ideally, if someone else is present, use this "wheelbarrow" maneuver on both dogs at the same time.
- Make a loud noise by stomping your feet, yelling in a deep voice or, if available, banging two metal garbage can lids.
After separating the sparring dogs, move your dog away as quickly as possible, and definitely out of eyesight of the other dog, before inspecting your dog for injuries. This tactic can help diminish the prey drive, because if the dogs can't see each other, they can more easily focus on other things. Even though you may be rattled, speak in a calm, confident tone to keep your dog from being reagitated.
"Most dog-to-dog altercations are using what I describe as spit-and-drool fights with a lot of bravado, but not any real bites," says Dr. Yin. "But if a big dog bites a small dog, it can be fatal."
After a fight, do a complete head-to-tail inspection of your dog and be sure to examine inside his mouth for any injuries. Take your dog to your veterinarian if you seen any bites, even minor ones. Dog bites can be easily disguised by fur, involve deep layers of skin and muscle, and become infected. And if you are injured in a dogfight — especially if you are bitten — you should get yourself checked out by a medical professional as well.
Remember, you are always taking a safety risk if you try to breakup a dogfight but smart preparation can help you and your dog.

Sounds like the NFL is "Crazy in Love" with Beyonce, too.
The R&B songstress, 31, confirmed on her website Tuesday that she will headline the Super Bowl's halftime show on Feb. 3, 2013 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Beyonce shared a photo of herself with "Feb. 3" and "2013" written on her cheeks in war paint. She captioned the image, "Countdown to Touchdown!"
The Associated Press first reported the news of Beyonce performing at Super Bowl XLVII from an anonymous show source on Tuesday morning.
Last year, fellow superstar Madonna performed during halftime (with assists from Cee Lo Green, Nicki Minaj, LMFAO and M.I.A.) -- according to the Nielsen Co., her halftime show drew in approximately 114 million viewers, 2.7 million more than the game itself.
Most recently, Beyonce -- who welcomed daughter Blue Ivy in January -- performed alongside hubby Jay-Z during his eighth and final concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
The Grammy winner was "front and center" supporting her spouse during his first show on September 28, too.
Says an eyewitness, "She went crazy singing and dancing to every song."

Today in History: March 21
March 21, 2011, Sporting News Wire Service, NASCAR.com
1971: Forty years ago, Richard Petty leads 161 of 276 laps en route to winning the Hickory 276 at .363-mile Hickory (N.C.) Speedway. This race is a good example of how much NASCAR has changed through the years. The field was 22 cars, and 12 finished. Today, the shortest track is .526 miles (Martinsville), and the shortest points races are well more than the 100 miles of this day's race.

Slight Alteration Needed For Tri's
April 18, 2016
Ran first race using this belt yesterday and I have a recommendation. Take the bib holders and move them next to the pouch. Because they are set-up for runners only you cannot quickly put on the belt. I had to have one end undone and attach the other half of the bib on the run after the belt was clipped. This cost me 30 seconds and a possible podium spot as I took fourth. Oh well - lesson learned.
Pros:Enough bungees to pouch room to make Batman jealous my my utility belt.Cons:Bibs holders need to be moved to the back and rubber bands added to hold excess slack. |

Jane Alexander was named Co-Ivy League Player of the Year as
a senior (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior shortstop Jane Alexander
of the Harvard softball team has been named to the Capital One 2012
Academic All-America Division I softball team, the organization
announced Thursday. Alexander is the only player from the Ivy
League to earn the accolade, and one of just three players from a
Northeast school.
The Palo Alto, Calif., native earned a spot on the Academic All-America third team after receiving Academic All-District first team honors earlier this year. She boasts a 3.49 grade-point average as a psychology concentrator at Harvard.
Alexander, the Ivy League Co-Player of the Year, saved her breakout year for her senior season. The top hitter on the league's top offensive team, she led the Ivy League with 60 hits on the year and also tied for the top mark in total bases (90), while placing second in runs scored (32), tied for first in doubles (13) and first in triples (4). She started every game this season at shortstop and led the Crimson to a berth in the NCAA regional final for the first time in school history.
