Wall Maps
***This is an old website. Please visit https://mapshop.com for larger selections and updated products.***
Let's talk about finishing options. There are a lot of ways to hang a map on the wall. You can put it up like wall paper. (see the mural maps in the World Wall Map section). You can frame it in a metal frame, The frame helps protect the map but makes it hard to transport. We carry framed maps but we are extra careful when we ship them. It is difficult to pack them strong enough to survive the shipping companies. When we ship a framed map, we crate it first.
Most mounted or framed maps ship at no charge. We like to laminate the wall map and connect it through our exclusive system of screws and glues to walnut-grained strips. This is the finishing option we call "rails". These make the map look elegant and still allow it to be rolled up for transport. You can still mark locations on the map by using sticker dots instead of pins. Shipping charges are calculated in the shopping cart. But, most mounted and framed maps have free freight. . Be sure to see a map that will show you how long your order will take to arrive. We can custom make maps to your specification.Our Map of the Year is Turner's Antique-Look World Map. This is a great gift for world travelers. We even have the option of mounting and framing it..

Four On Their Way to Norfolk
(Tampa Bay Lightning press release) The Tampa Bay Lightning have reassigned defenseman Evan Oberg, as well as forwards Mike Angelidis, Trevor Smith and Pierre-Cedric Labrie to the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League today, Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman announced.
Oberg, 6-foot, 191 pounds, made his Lightning debut in his sixth recall last night against the Columbus Blue Jackets, logging 1:21 in ice time with one hit. He was acquired by the Lightning with Mike Kostka from the Florida Panthers on December 2 in exchange for James Wright and Mike Vernace. He has played in 25 AHL games this season with Norfolk and the San Antonio Rampage, recording two goals and eight points with a plus-3 rating. Oberg has played in 13 games with the Admirals, notching two goals and six points. He has played in 138 career AHL games with the Admirals, Rampage, Rochester Americans and Manitoba Moose. Oberg has also skated in five career Calder Cup Playoff games, all with Manitoba during the 2009-10 season.
A native of Forestburg, Alberta, Oberg has played in five career NHL games with the Lightning and Vancouver Canucks. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by Vancouver on April 10, 2009. Oberg was then acquired by Florida with the Canucks' third-round choice in 2013 in exchange for Chris Higgins on February 28, 2011. Before joining the professional ranks he played at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
Angelidis, 6-1, 200 pounds, made his NHL debut last night with Tampa Bay, scoring his first NHL goal on his first shot. He finished the game with a plus-1 rating in 4:01 of ice time. Angelidis has played in 38 games with the Admirals this season. He has registered 10 goals and 21 points this season with a plus-8 rating and 95 penalty minutes. At the time of his recall, Angelidis ranked fifth on Norfolk for goals, tied for sixth for plus/minus and seventh for points.
A native of Woodbridge, Ontario, Angelidis has played in 353 career AHL games with Norfolk and the Albany River Rats. Angelidis has also skated in 22 career Calder Cup Playoff Games, notching two goals and eight points.
Angelidis spent his junior career with the Owen Sound Attack of the Ontario Hockey League, amassing 96 goals and 161 points in 284 games. He was undrafted and signed by the Carolina Hurricanes on July 27, 2006. The Lightning signed Angelidis as a free agent on August 3, 2010.
Labrie, 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, was recalled to the Lightning on January 6 and played in seven games, recording one assist and 10 penalty minutes while averaging 4:57 in ice time. He made his NHL debut on January 7 against Montreal and recorded his first assist and point on January 21 at Phoenix. Labrie has appeared in 29 games for the Admirals this season, recording six goals and 19 points with a plus-17 rating and 63 penalty minutes.
A fifth-year professional, Labrie has appeared in 284 career AHL games between Norfolk, the Peoria Rivermen and the Manitoba Moose. In those games, he has scored 31 goals and 85 points with 483 penalty minutes.
An undrafted forward, Labrie was originally signed by the Vancouver Canucks on July 9, 2007. Vancouver traded him to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for forward Yan Stastny on March 3, 2010.
Smith, 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, played in four games with the Lightning after being recalled on January 16, recording two assists. He earned his first NHL helper on January 21 at Phoenix. While with Tampa Bay he was a plus-4 and averaged 7:54 in ice time. Smith has played in 39 games for the Admirals this season, recording 16 goals and 44 points. At the time of his recall he led all Norfolk skaters in points, was second for goals, assists and power-play goals with six, and was tied for second with a plus-17 rating. Smith has played in 321 career AHL games with Norfolk, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, the Syracuse Crunch and the Springfield Falcons. In those games, he has registered 108 goals and 236 points. He has also appeared in 10 career Calder Cup Playoff games, notching two goals and seven points.
A native of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Smith has played in seven career NHL games, all with the New York Islanders during the 2008-09 season. He has one career goal.

Dont have anyone answer?
The "Jaguar 175-lb. Crossbow Package"
Anyone ever used it? I'm not much of a crossbow guy.
What sight should I put on it?
Dont have anyone answer?
Love Hunting $ Fishing
Help you find the best compound bow for the money
Website hunting: http://hunthacks.com/
never heard of that mke/model
but there are SO many out there anymore, its hard to keep up, crossbows are a very growing sport
m suggestion is go to the makers web page and see what they use for scopes on it, and go to a good scope, with multi reticle set up, lighted one's are nice for low light as long as you can turn down/adjust the brightness, other wise the glow can blind you more than do you any good in low light!

First ingredient is a named meat product.
Insufficient meat products. Use of low quality grains and other controversial fillers. Fat in the top four ingredients (a bloat risk factor for large breed dogs).
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product.
The main grain in the food is corn. Corn is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems. Corn appears later on the ingredient list as well, as gluten meal. The AAFCO definition of corn gluten meal is the dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that which remains after all the nutritious bits have been removed. Rice, the third ingredient, is a decent grain, as is oatmeal the 7th ingredient.
It is a concern to see chicken fat as the fourth ingredient. Research at Purdue University has identified a fat in the top four ingredients of a dry dog food as a factor that increases the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested.
Beet pulp is another controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
Wheat products appear twice on the ingredient list. The use of wheat is a significant negative however: wheat is believed to be the number one cause of allergy problems in dog food.

- Improve the performance of MDMS at scale
- Protect and secure critical meter and billing data
Reduced MDMS Deployment Risk
Improved MDMS Performance at Scale
Protected, Secure Meter Data
Solution Description
Utility companies are preparing for an explosion in new data because of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) projects. Many utilities will be moving from monthly meter reads to hourly and even 15-minute intervals.
AMI can produce a staggering 3,000-fold increase in data. As part of the meter-to-cash process, utilities will be storing most of this data in the meter data management system (MDMS) as both the operational data store for meter data validation, estimation, edition (VEE) and bill determinant creation as well as the system of record for long-term storage.
Utilities are asking questions such as "How will we store all of this data? How will we manage it? How will we back it up and protect it?"
Technology Solution
In conjunction with its MDMS partners such as Ecologic Analytics and Itron, the EMC Optimized Infrastructure for MDMS solution provides integrated MDMS solutions from application to database to backend infrastructure.
These combined solutions leverage best-in-class EMC technology such as unified EMC VNX storage, enterprise Flash drives, EMC fully automated storage tiering (FAST), EMC NetWorker, EMC Data Domain, and EMC RecoverPoint.

One would think that we've learned from bitter experience not to trust a word uttered by our major professional sports leagues.
Yet here they are trying to put another howler over on us. This is their assertion that retired pro athletes — many of them from outside the state — are ripping off California's workers' compensation system for hundreds of millions of dollars.
The state Legislature is setting itself up to swallow this one whole: A bill to close this supposed loophole has been introduced by Assembly Insurance Committee Chairman Henry Perea (D-Fresno).
Let's start with the bottom line: This bill would be a total sellout to the major pro sports leagues and their billionaire team owners, who pay the workers' compensation claims won by their workers. Its victims would be athletes whose limbs, joints, backs and craniums were pounded relentlessly on the field of play and who were left with inadequate treatment or support after they retired.

My days as a door-keeper of the holy room
This is the first time I break "my silence" as a former insider and now ex-cult member of Art of Living. I spent 13 years whole-heartedly supporting the AOL, the then foundry of my life. I was a teacher for seven years, a full-timer four of them. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was my Guru whose words I put before anyone else's – even my closest family.
I have witnessed and experienced many of the incidents described in this blog. I have the same wish as the other collaborators to shed some light about the dark side of the organization. We all somehow know how criticizing SSRS in particular is a big no-no, especially as an insider, and how critical thinking around the movement is banned and justified with statements such as, "You have low energy level. Do more breathing exercises" or "be more in the knowledge and listen to Ashtavakra Gita" (SSRS´ comments on the Hindu text by the same name).
I was very close to SSRS and had fairly easy access to his room. He called me by name, I had his personal mobile number I could call whenever and I back-massaged him - dressed - in his room many times. The latter was for me not connected with any sexual energies but with a feeling of honor and extreme privilege.
I often played the role of doorman or door-blocker to his meeting room - a place where many people wanted to get in even without a real important agenda. People just wanted to "hang out".
I remember one of the first times with this "extremely important" job, realizing the complex and un-written rules that go with such a position:
1) Only a specific segment of people have free access to SSRS´ room: those with lots of money, media-influence, political influence or opinion makers such as actors and other public figures. This lets you right in because such a person could be used as a means to expand SSRS's agenda.
2) Male senior German, Dutch, Indian and Swiss teachers also go right in.
3) Ordinary people with no titles or special influential powers stand very small chances for personal meetings.
Being the door-keeper was an akward situation to be in. You have to tell a lot of people SSRS is very busy and that they can´t come in. Though it is sometimes true, he often is just sitting on his couch watching CNN and/or not doing much besides chit-chatting with the "lucky" one inside. Often people inside just sit on the floor – at his feet!! – and stare at him and carefully laugh at every one of his silly jokes or at any of his "charming and playful" gestures. If an outsider (non-cult member) took a look inside, he would not understand what was so interesting – actually, nothing! So called "devotees" believe they sit in the presence of the embodiment of God, a rather big deal for them.
Spending a lot of time "inside" the room, both as a door-keeper or as a hang-out, it often struck me how bold and rude SSRS would comment about people who were not in the room (not a behavior you would expect from a dispassionate avatar-Guru!). I have often seen him making fun of people by ridiculing them in front of the crowd inside. Comments such as, "She has such an artificial laughter – something is not quite right with her" or "I think she/he is a blue-star" (a Sri Sri word for someone who is not right in the head).
Once he did not feel like going the ART Excel perfomance the kids had prepared for him. He said, "It is such a poor performance". I once overheard a phone-conversation he had with a full-time teacher who was upset and crying. When he hang up, he told the rest of us that because this person was not well because had been made teacher too young.
One of his most senior teachers of Germany, a very nice guy I happened to teach with and spent a lot of quality time with, decided to leave the movement after realizing that following ethical and, especially legal guidelines for organizational leadership was NOT vital to SSRS. The teacher sent a farewell letter explaining the motivation behind his decision. I happened to be in the room with SSRS and a group of people shortly after the teacher's official departure was in effect. SSRS´ comment was pretty much like this, "He is free to leave the organization. He anyway never did anything to promote my work!"
Even a hard-headed and true-believer myself then, I felt it was an unnecessary and insensitive thing to say. I never understood why SSRS, in his position as a leader, would ridicule anyone in front of others in that manner. I seems too far from the standards one expects from a Guru of compassion and, furthermore, truly very unprofessional.
The above experiences are just a few I had over the years and though I had a good time during my first years with the AoL, I soon started seeing how things really work behind the scenes. It is fair to say that these insights were the beginning of the end to me.

Hi "Roaring Wolf",
Welcome to the world of "Sevaks". Your post is a true seva and possible eye opener for others who are "Addicted" to AOL. A post from one who had spent 13 years, need to be taken seriously.
Tell us about other "episodes" which used to take place. Anything on "Nithy's" lines.. Such revealations would only get wide and quick reception and would also have a huge impact on all. Don't wait. Like how they used to promote DSN ," Don't live as if you are living in a coocoon.. Come out and be brave and live the momement"....

None of the stuff you mentioned were big enough to leave. A guru also sometimes should be free to say he is a bluestar or what a poor performance. What is your story ? What exactly were the reasons ( about SSRS or the organization) that disturbed you?
- March 17, 2010 at 2:28 PM
If people keep on beating around the bush and not cite specific instances with date and time, then it's kinda "alluding" to something that you can't prove. So who knows if Roaring Wolf really did Seva to SSRS

Give me a break! Why don't you ask Ravi for evidence for absolutely everything?

You wouldn't believe how many people listened to Hitler and how many to Benny Hinn. Unlike what AoL thinks, numbers do not indicate how good something or someone is.

You guys are bunch of hypocrites. Could you give an accurate number on how many people have taken the first course? Per my experience the number is usually rounded in millons depending on how the teacher feels. 20 million or maybe 30 millions or maybe even 120 million. Who knows what the real number is. Could you post some proof about the accurate numbers on the AOL website. Thank you.

It is amusing that people would ask
KLIM for details when they are shilling for an organization that cannot disclose fully where the money goes. If the anonymous lemming crowd wishes to have real credibility instead of simply whining, let them disclose this financial information in full.
- March 17, 2010 at 7:44 PM
Klim, remember you started this blog to cite all these stories and not S3 Ravi. So the burden of providing legally defensible evidence rests with you and not the Guru, who couldn't care less about anything anyway.
- March 17, 2010 at 9:27 PM
ha ha ha, anon. Everybody whos anybody in the aol knows that Roaring Wolf did more than his time. In fact ravi bitch shankar, was soping when Roaring Wolf left him.
Just shows that you are a fool who knows nothing about aol history.....
Go suck it, you braind dead zombiedrone
Looking forward to hear more of the story Mr. Roaring

"remember you started this blog to cite all these stories and not S3 Ravi."
Thanks for reminding me but I did not start this blog to collect evidence to trial Ravi. Read and understand the purpose of the blog carefully. These are all experiences of former members and they don't need to present any evidence of how much they have been brain-washed or abused. No evidence will satisfy an AoLer. I have plenty of times repeated: no DNA, no kinky pictures or videos, no dirty bed sheets, no time card. These are experiences not facts. In any case, demand evidence to the AoL for all the facts they state and spread. If we all would have asked for it long before we went into it, we would have saved ourselves of a lot of lost years. Somehow, we did not ... we innocently believed. Our mistakes. The mistake of many other "millions" (how many were there? "120 million people have done the AoL courses world-wide" - see I still know the phrase by hard - and we NEVER kept a database nor system to calculate how many people had done a course even in a city!). It is ridiculous someone is asking Roaring wolf for evidence of his seva. Can Ravi give evidence of most of his statements and history? He got what degrees at the age of 17? Come on! From where was it? And he cognized the SK where? Come on! Someone except himself saw him? etc. Again, this is not about putting anyone on trial but AoL people seem to read it all like that. If you don't agree with them then you are against them. We are just sharing our experiences! Why don't they start asking their students to give evidence to their experiences after sharing of the SK experiences or Part 2 experiences, for example?????

I suppose you feel a so-called enlightened guru should always be sweet and pay complements to everyone else? I can imagine being at the head of such a huge organization, one needs to tell it like it is, make tough calls and shake things up now and then.
A sweet tongued guru would make many friends, but would be unable to bring order and discipline in his organization. If I were running his AoL, it would be like an iron-fisted CEO running a tight ship. I'd roast the crap out of anyone who's under-performing and lay waste to anyone who doesn't buy into my megalomania! Yeah.
- March 18, 2010 at 9:28 AM
Dear Klim and Co.
I have a sincere question,.. you must be knowing I am sure the facts about this and I also feel this is very true - That Guruji knows what are our thoughts and all. Like he has that power and is omnipresent in that manner.
I have had an incident first hand. But it is not as "major" as the ones I have read or heard about. But still....
- March 18, 2010 at 10:46 AM
@ Shakti,
Then don't call yourself a Guru! Call yourself a businessman or a honcho out to make a killing lusting for money and fame. If spirituality is a business, then you are out selling your spirit like a pimps selling and buying bodies for sex. In a business venture like the AOL, bodies, souls and minds are brought and sold like commodity to the bedeviled Guru! And if you think "beating the crap" out of some shishyas (disciples) will initiate you into megalomaniacal Gurudom, you are practicing sadomasochistic spirituality! Your brand of spirituality is smutty like the porn industry.
- March 18, 2010 at 11:16 AM
sorry KLIM, your blog lacks credibility. No names, no data, no facts or pictures. Just your point of view which is very, very irrational.
I guess you will not publish my comment, hah?
- March 18, 2010 at 1:01 PM
To the poster who asked about SSRS knowing everyone's thoughts:
I once knew and worked for a man who truly can hear people think, I saw it many times. He was also one of the most paranoid, abusive, manipulative people I ever met. Knowing someone's thoughts is just a siddhi and the Indian traditions warn of fascination with siddhis as a major obstacle to liberation. There are also many psychological tricks that are used by professional psychics to make you think they know your thoughts. Many of the assumed siddhis of Indian gurus have been debunkend by scientists who demonstrate pretty much everything the gurus do just with stage magic or psychological tricks.
- March 18, 2010 at 2:21 PM
Hi KLIM,
Does this remind you of someone? :-)
It's a parody about the inane and psychotic mutterings of a Guru at it's best set to some otherworldly, heavy death metal Iron Maiden "musick"!
- March 18, 2010 at 2:44 PM
Why would Ravi implicate himself needlessly by giving anything out at all? All his supporters and detractors know that. So it's upto the detractors to compile legally admissible evidence and bring him or his organization to book. Until then, these may be just interesting stories, however you and others may claim martyrdom at the altar of this supposed Guru

Upanishad event in LA is sold out, sorry you folks will be missing all the knowledge. You can still get in as a Donor paying some premium donation.
I had varied experiences in the holy room of which only one of them I thought was overstating of something by guru about himself which I will share it later.
Had very nice compassionate one on one conversations as well in the holy room a few times the moments I cherish even now as the way it should be with the Great guru or a well wisher, though I don't endorse all the AOL stuff these days due to a better understanding of the organization. Me still thinks they should stop over charging for the courses and activities as most people participate are from lower middle class.
By the way did you all caught up with the abuse stories this week emerging from germany connected with the Pope!?

Guru is a teacher. Why people start worshiping them? No Guru has patentable discovery. All techniques are in the scriptures and given to in new packaging.
One need to learn from the learned meaning from one who has learned it ahead of time. Does this make him HOLY GOD?
People get trapped in kinder garden preschools and never graduate to Universities. Like KG schools these gurus and their cults start you in the path of evolution of the inner kind. But after the KG this journey has to be undertaken by individual discovering his inner self. But persons get struck in KG Class awed by the KG Teacher and if one realises (if ever) that he has wasted his life time at the foot or door step - who is to be blamed.
Rules of the game for those who dare to go near these GURUs
1. Take what you can from these gurus
2. Never get branded
3. Never surrender and join the cult
4. Never promote any guru or cult
5. Move on or move in
Be Happy

Prasad PN - Well said! Especially I see lack of God realization techniques directly taught in AOL and at the most it is Guru Realization if you care for that.

Bogus - it's very easy to write these things sitting in the comfort of your room and having a frustrated mind.
I have been with Sri Sri for over 12 years and have easy access to his room and have spent many many hours with him. He is very much the same in the room that he is outside - the same gentle mannerism and integrity. Just taking a few words out of context is truly irresponsible on your part!
Do some introspection - you may find yourself in the same boat in any other places too. Spirituality is not for the meek - even Jesus said that. The meeks complain and leave the truth, so grow out of your small little mind my friend, doesn't matter if it's with Art of Living or somewhere else.
Wishing you all the best!

PoorSinfulDevotee, LIFE is not for the meek and you think you are the strong one hiding in a path of brain-washed, brain-dead zombies in which everything is decided by A MAN?! "Guruji says this, Guruji says that." Anyway, what could you understand! You are too brain-washed. We are sorry for having upset you and taken you away from your spiritual center, please don't see intention and accept us as we are, we are just meek lost souls who got off the road! But gee! Why do we feel so much happier where we are? It is all about preferences, isn't it? Or maybe, vivek. All the best.

Do you have a list of the best cancer fighting fruits and vegetables
There is evidence that diets rich in fruits and vegetables and low in fat can reduce the risk of cancer. The American Institute of Cancer Research suggests that the following fruits and vegetables may be particularly helpful: legumes including soy beans, berries, cruciferous vegetables (those in the cabbage family like cabbage and Brussels sprouts), dark green leafy vegetables (like spinach, kale and dark green lettuces), garlic, grapes/grape juice and tomatoes. You can find good recipes to help you eat more of these in our recipe section here.

A 22-year-old Dallas mother is in police custody after authorities say she unmercifully tortured her daughter for a potty-training incident.
Police report that Elizabeth Escalona, dragged her daughter, Joselyn Cedillo, by her feet across her apartment, glued her hands and stuck them to a wall until they bled because the 2-year-old soiled her pants.
She then reportedly beat the little girl with a shoe and a belt, kicked her, and pounded her in the stomach with a jug of milk.
According to police, the young mother later made a hysterical phone call to her mother after she noticed that something was wrong with the child.
When the mother arrived Joselyn was unconscious and rushed to the hospital where she remains in critical condition with broken bones and head injuries.
Escalona was arrested for causing an injury to a child; she is being held on $500,000 bond.

Press Release
Couchbase NoSQL Database Solution Gains Prominence in Advertising Platform Market
December 06, 2011
Industry Leaders and Innovators Rely on Proven NoSQL Technology to Accelerate Real-Time Ad Serving
Mountain View, Calif. – December 6, 2011 – Couchbase, the leading NoSQL database company, today announced that Couchbase has gained prominence as a preferred NoSQL database technology in the advertising platforms market. Industry leaders and innovators are increasingly choosing Couchbase to provide critical data management capabilities for their advertising and other offer targeting systems. A partial list of recent customers includes: AOL Advertising, Burstabit Technologies, Chango, Cognitive Match, Dotomi, Media Mind, TubeMogul, and Xclaim.
News Highlights
- Couchbase has gained significant momentum in the advertising platforms market – a key market segment for highly scalable, high-performance data management solutions. Industry leaders and innovators rely on Couchbase to accelerate real-time ad serving through its NoSQL database technology.
- Key features of Couchbase's NoSQL database technology for ad platform companies include:
- Schema-less data model. This unique model eliminates the need to define/redefine a database schema before inserting data. Targeting algorithms and approaches can change rapidly and often require changes in input data.
- Elastic scaling. The technology effortlessly scales out to hold billions of data items for hundreds of millions of users, on commodity hardware or cloud computing instances.
- Consistent sub-millisecond random read and write latency. This happens across the entire data set, supporting not only optimized decision making but enabling finely targeted personalization of ad and offer content in tight decision time windows.
- Hadoop integration. Bi-directional connectivity between Hadoop and Couchbase enables closed-loop user profiling and ad serving. The recently announced Couchbase Hadoop Connector is the first certified connector for a NoSQL database and provides Hadoop users with an easy method of moving data back and forth between Couchbase and Hadoop via the Sqoop plug-in.
- Built-in transparent caching. Built-in Memcached provides object-level caching technology, the most efficient way to use memory for storing active campaign data, allowing fewer servers with less memory to serve numerous campaigns.
Supporting Quotes

Couchbase has the only product in the market place that met our stringent performance requirements and was dynamically scaled to meet our future growth projections without service interruption. We have been very pleased with the maturity of the product and the responsiveness of the support team at Couchbase." – AOL Advertising
- "The ability of Couchbase's solution to quickly, easily and automatically scale out data to more servers offers huge potential to those who have to address the realities of variable Internet traffic loads. You have to have an effective scaling strategy and Couchbase can help make that easier." – Bryan Call, Vice President of Engineering, Burstabit Technologies
- "Couchbase is an important part of our ability to serve ads with lightning fast speed. We count on the power of Couchbase technology for the performance and availability of our ad operations, but also rely on its monitoring capabilities to provide the window we need into the system – in fact we have the graphs open all day." – Mazdak Rezvani, CTO, Chango
- "Brands use our platform to buy video advertising in real-time across a marketplace that totals billions of transactions per day. Optimization and decision-making at this rate require a scalable, highly performant data store that delivers millisecond-fast response times. The flexibility and performance of Couchbase's NoSQL solution helps ensure we deliver on our promise to brand advertisers." – Adam Rose, CTO, TubeMogul
- "Couchbase provides a perfect NoSQL database for ad serving and targeting solutions, allowing the best scaling and speed we have seen. Exemplary customer service and stunning know-how from Couchbase has greatly added to Xclaim quality." – Tomislav Fistrić, CTO, Xclaim
- "Our proven NoSQL technology provides the performance, scalability and flexibility ad platforms need to accelerate data retrieval and ensure that ad serving is optimized for the best business performance. With the most production deployments in this key market segment, Couchbase is leading the way in optimizing data management for ad targeting to directly impact revenue for our customers." – Bob Wiederhold, CEO, Couchbase

So the new article Siefert put up on ESPN which has blanketed the front page is really starting to piss me off. I wont link it, cause it already has a thread here that did. But what really pisses me off is the complete lack of being impartial for the sake of quality journalism.
We get it Seifert, you love Aarons man juice in your mouth, and he wouldnt perform for you that night. But you dont have to rehash it all the time.
http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/co ... git/17706/
this has been pointed out numerous times, but i thought a refresher for anyone who might have missed it. Its broken down perfectly to show it being a tate catch.
But heres the real problem I have. I dont mind the GB fans getting pissed. Theyre fans, thats part of their job. I get mad at so called journalist who, if they read the above linked article would at the very least, and I say VERY LEAST, argee that is wasnt an obvious interception. At least recognize the possibility that it could go the other way. But they wont do that. They instead use their massive reach across the world and brainwash everyone into thinking jennings was by himself practically. Caught the ball. Landed. And then tate came running over after the play was over and took the ball from him and they called it a touchdown.
Its sickening and has basically guaranteed that all the future refs (mike carrey) have it out for us from here on. I usually dont plan on the refs giving us a fair shake anyway, but now Im scared that it might drastically alter playoff games. And the worst part is, when it does happen, the rest of the country wont care and say we deserve it. That will be the hardest part. We will lose to an obvious ref call, and the rest of world will laugh at us and claim karma.

- Special Features:
- Writable AUFS support so you can emerge new packages!
- Persistence for $HOME is available; press F9 for more info!
The LiveDVD is available in two flavors: a hybrid x86/x86_64 version, and an x86_64 multilib version. The livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-11.0 version will work on 32-bit x86 or 64-bit x86_64. If your CPU architecture is x86, then boot with the default gentoo kernel. If your arch is amd64 boot with the gentoo64 kernel. This means you can boot a 64bit kernel and install a customized 64bit userland while using the provided 32bit userland. The livedvd-amd64-multilib-11.0 version is for x86_64 only.
Keep in mind that Gentoo is a rolling release distribution, so the LiveDVD is primarily a means to check out if Gentoo is something for you, or just to quickly check out a different desktop environment than in your installation, etc. Thanks to the RAM-based writable aufs support, one can play around with the Gentoo package manager Portage as well, to get a feel for it.
Please select your architecture to be redirected to a mirror for download:
- x86
- amd64
- Torrents are available at http://torrents.gentoo.org
Note that the LiveDVD image can also be used as a LiveUSB image. Please read the FAQ on using the LiveDVD.
Let's talk about some of the GNOME-specific stuff: the LiveDVD comes with a full GNOME 2.32 environment, plus a huge list of GTK+ Applications in there. Of course, you can emerge the ones that we didn't include. GNOME 2.32 was shipped because GNOME 3 had not yet been added to the tree or even released at the time of release. There are plans for a GNOME 3 livecd/dvd for the future, though, so stay tuned!
GNOME 2.32 is also the latest stable version in the Portage tree, and we intend to support it longer than 2.30 (which is still available in the tree). You can also read up on GNOME 2.32 caveats by skimming the Gentoo GNOME 2.32 upgrade guide. Feel free to contact us on #gentoo-desktop @ FreeNode in case you have any questions or suggestions about GNOME 2.32 and GNOME 3.0 on the LiveDVD or in Portage.
We have also started a discussion thread in our forum. Please post any bugs you encounter to our bugzilla (now version 4!).
Thank you for your continued support,
Gentoo Linux Developers, the Gentoo Linux Foundation, and the Gentoo-Ten Project.

I'm still here and check in every so often, but its pretty dead here,
which as I always say, is ODD< as this site still gets a LOT of lookers, just NO posters
like tonight, I checked, had over 65 viewers while I checked in and TWO members, yet NONE ever add anything to the site??
this site seems to draw peeping toms LOL
I was surprised to see my log-in still worked, no real reason just it had been since October since I last signed in from the looks of the new threads I haven't viewed yet. Hope you guys are all doing well.

Not sure how long this place will exist. It sure doesn't help that occasionally this site goes down for weeks at a time. I haven't been around since the last time the site was off line for a few weeks. I don't have much to add.

yeah I agree I keep expecting the place to be gone when I try to look on here?
but the part I still find odd is this place gets a LOT of hits, its just NO one add's much of anything
so as long as site keeps getting views, it might stay about, as I think that's more what they care about than if anyone adds anything anyhow
, as if the site needed to have ACTION going on ON it, the owners I think would be adding some just to pay the bills, but since it gets traffic without, I doubt they care at all, its still making them something to keep open.
I haven't seen any big bucks here this yr, but honestly haven't been out looking at all ,
do have a lot of bears again, 14 so far this yr since winter have showed up at my place, a boat load of coons lately, seems had 4 females all have a full liter, so at night my place is like tidal wave of coons in the yard , cleaning up bird seeds that fall, Think I counted like 20 baby coons the other night?? LOL
a few fawns too,but oddly I haven't had a buck in my yard in almost 3 yrs now?? doe all the time, but zero bucks , minus a few button bucks as fawns//
and don't know about you all still here,
but a terrible yr here for fruit tree's and other things like blue berry's and black berrys.
all crazy tempo swings, hot cold hot cold from winter and then spring seemed to kill any hope of a good yr for them again??
third yr now, of bad harvest on fruit and such here??
Im checking in lol ...Good Luck out there guys be safe...

Presentation by Rainer Böke, CEO at Böke-IE GmbH & Co.
At the beginning of a project there is often the wish to calculate components even though there is no order yet. It is shown how a component can be calculated to identify specific problem areas without much effort and without high costs.
Presentation by Rainer Böke, CEO at Böke-IE GmbH & Co.
A cast shock-tower is used to describe the procedure for using simulation with Inspire Cast. The investigation of the gating technique related to large-area, thin-walled components is described. How can thicker sections deviating from this basic structure be produced without defects? When is the use of squeezers necessary? Can porosities be reliably avoided by holding pressure? It will also be shown how the overflow and venting situation can be optimized in order to reduce re-melting costs.

Tony Pimentel from Pimentel & Associates is innovating the Philippines Architecture, Engineering and Construction landscape with Inspire.
Topology optimization is a computer based calculation procedure which can design mechanically stressed component structures in such a way that the highest possible rigidity can be achieved with minimal material usage. Only those parts of a component which are essential for the required flux of force and necessary stability are generated. This results in complex structures which can only be built partially or not at all using conventional production processes. At this point the advantages of additive manufacturing come into focus.

Robot Bike Company (RBC) is a new startup established in the UK by aerospace engineers and mountain biking enthusiasts who identified the potential of combining additive manufacturing technologies with carbon fiber to, in their own words, "create the best bike frames possible". To deliver a customizable, lightweight, high strength bike, RBC's frame was intended to be created from carbon fiber, a material very common in the industry. The carbon fiber tubes, as well as the bike's other components and systems were to be joined by additively manufactured titanium 'nodes', manufactured based on the specification of individual riders. Altair ProductDesign's engineering team was tasked with optimizing these joints, which included the head tube, seat post and chain stay lugs, to ensure they were as lightweight as possible and still able to withstand the forces of downhill mountain bike riding, all while being fit for the AM process.

New Canaan's Oxman no stranger to danger
Sometime in the early 1970s, New Canaan's Ken Oxman was visiting Colombia when he heard about "a sleazy bar" in Cartagena frequented by militia members. That young blue-eyed British man, who always was curious and fascinated by fear, decided to check the place out, even though he was alone and did not speak Spanish.
While drinking a gin and tonic at the bar, which was filled with "all these tough-looking" Colombians, a man sitting next to Oxman pulled a gun on him.
"I must've given him a look that he did not like," Oxman said. "It was the biggest gun I had ever seen. " He started waving it near my face, laughing, and then he stuck the gun in my mouth."
Oxman, who has been through many dangerous situations in his life, including the one in Colombia, recently decided to use his adventures as inspiration for an action-filled novel. "Reluctant Assassin," his first book, is slated to be published in July and tells the story of a U.S. Navy lieutenant who deals with fear and several dilemmas throughout the story, which takes place shortly after America's entry into World War II.
Oxman drew from his time as an officer cadet in the British Merchant Navy, where he served for four years in the late 1960s, and a few of his father's tales from World War II to tell the story of Nathan Blake.
The character is an expert in killing targets at close range, but wants to be a seagoing officer.
"I have never been an assassin, but I knew that if you're going to kill somebody up close, you're not doing it for the government, you're doing it because you're a psychopath," he said. "There's got to be a certain type of mentality. There's got to be a certain type of attitude toward fear."
Amid many dilemmas and action-filled tales, the key theme in the novel is fear, he said. Nathan Blake's personality comes from Oxman's father, Oxman himself and much imagination.
Oxman is an actor, director, teacher and voice and public speaking coach, and served as a broadcaster for BBC local radio.
While he had a gun in his mouth at that Colombian bar, Oxman asked himself, "If you're not James Bond, what do you do in a situation like this?"
As he has done at other times in his life, Oxman tried to control his fear and the man eventually let him go.
"He actually yanked it out of my mouth," he said, "and I still have the scar."
Though he admits it was not a good idea to go to such a badly reputed bar, Oxman values the experience, which taught him how to deal with his fear. He's faced similar dangerous situations, including a time when he jumped off a cliff in an old-fashioned hang-glider that was "more like a kite" after a weekend-long course in England and when he was almost sold as a white slave in Mozambique.
"Reluctant Assassin" moves through historical events in a fictional way. The story begins on Dec. 10, 1941, two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and ends on Feb. 16, 1942.
One of the many lessons he learned while writing the novel is that the characters "take over the story."
The new author, who said writing the novel was one of the most enjoyable experiences of his life, already is working on a sequel.
firstname.lastname@example.com, 203-330-6582, @olivnelson
"The underlying theme throughout the story is his conflict within himself, thus the 'Reluctant Assassin,' " Oxman said. "He wants to fight the war as a sea-going officer, but they won't let him, so he's sent out on these various missions."
Blake, who's a native of Madison, Conn., is then sent to a number of countries and ends up in Singapore, at a time when that country was about to cede to the rampaging Japanese. In Singapore, Blake fights to stop an enemy agent from damaging the allied war effort while he's also trying to find a woman with whom he fell in love and who is now somewhere in the country.
There lies one of his many dilemmas throughout the novel, Oxman said. Should he complete his mission or should he first search for the woman?
Oxman said he's always read thrillers and wanted his novel to be filled with action and questions. In fact, the book begins with tension.
"Nathan Blake is drowning," the first page reads. "Alone and adrift, gasping and battered some 300 miles off the English coast. The mighty and bone-achingly cold sea with all its brutal power pounds down on him, lashes out with stinging spray while all around banshee winds howl at the approaching darkness."
On the next page, he's getting ready to kill a Nazi in New Orleans.
Oxman said his interest in World War II started when his father, who served in the Royal Air Force as a navigator on Mosquito's & Sunderland Flying Boats, would tell him stories.

BlackTower3 Destroy
iOS iPhone Games
There are more than ten different, small, animated monsters in the game who shuffle their feet and look around trying to avoid being noticed. They are hiding, alone or in groups, from the player who is a simple stick figure in the lower left of the screen. Played in portrait orientation, the monsters take shelter on a never-repeating assortment of bizarre structures, on a gameboard filled with obstacles and barriers that make for some very complex ricochets. Depending upon the composition of the item, it will emit a particular sound when hit by one or more gemstones bouncing off surfaces at various speeds. The object of the game is to clear the board of all the monsters, earning one, two, or three stars depending upon the number of gems required. When all the monsters are gone, the player moves to the next stage.
Besides the web of angles in each puzzle, each gemstone has a special capability, and players can select the gem they want to fire (only the launch angle, not velocity, can be controlled with a touch gesture) from those available at that stage. Pinkish violet Amethysts behave normally, bouncing predictably off objects with the angles equal before and after collision. The deep green Emerald also behaves normally, until the player taps the screen while it is moving and it splits into two Amethysts, capable of twice the destruction. The blood red Ruby is similar, but explodes, rather than splits, when the screen is touched.
The gameplay is always highly dynamic with very creative puzzles, projectiles, interactions, and strategies for winning. The stylized, black and white graphics and animation establish a film noir mood, while the shooting gems and motion trails show up in high contrast. BlackTower3 is an eye-catching physics game for iOS that brings some of the style of Frank Miller's "Sin City" to iDevices everywhere.
Feature Highlights:
* Humorous, fun, pick up and play physics game
* Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements
* Retina display support
* Calculate complex reactions to kill monsters
* 100 stages of play (more coming)

We have increased our cereal sales by 300% by instituting a hot cereal buffet. Organic steel-cut oats are the staple with a variety of offerings as the second choice each day, such as quinoa, wheatberry, barley, kamut and amaranth. We offer two at a set price with a build-it-yourself topping bar with 17 items. Customers can suggest new toppings.
