Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?
By Roger Strukhoff
Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Gift Ideas for a Man of the Outdoors

By: PR Newswire
May. 24, 2010 05:08 AM

NORMAN, Okla., May 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Find the ideal gift for the outdoorsman this Father's Day by considering these great outdoor products. While you're at it, pick something nice for yourself too.

This year for Father's Day give dad an ultimate, portable grill for any road trip or backyard barbeque, the fully redesigned Coleman® Grill (www.coleman.com) by Paul Teutel Jr. - better known as "Paul Jr." to fans of TLC's hit reality show American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior - Designs feature a custom black finish with chrome accents, diamond-plate side table inserts for added stability, two fully adjustable burners for hotter, faster cooking; chrome knobs and tool hooks for infinite control, plus easy-to-use Instastart electronic ignition for matchless lighting. (800.835.3278, $229.99)

No longer do you have to sit around watching dad get frustrated with setting up the camping tent. When you present dad with the Coleman Instant Tent (www.coleman.com) on Father's Day he will be relieved that he won't have to spend hours fuming over tent instructions.

The new, cabin-style Coleman Instant Tent is durable and spacious - ideal for extended-stay camping - and sets up or tears down in a minute or less. Breaking camp is just as easy and the tent fits easily back into its standard carrying bag for easy transportation and storage. (800.835.3278, $199.99)

Give dad the gift of an Abu Garcia Soron STX spinning reel this year (www.abugarcia.com). Dad's jaw will hit the ground when presented with a gift that updates his tackle, and allows him to spend more time with you.

Available in five models, the reel's reel also features Duragear(TM) gears, Everlast(TM) Bail System for durability, stainless steel main shaft and hardware, a fluorocarbon spare spool and comfort soft touch paddles are included with each reel. (800.237.5539, $129.99 - $149.99)

Make dad's fishing this year much easier with the Berkley Flicker Shad (www.berkley-fishing.com). Designed with internal weight transfer for bullet-like precision casts and a unique swimming action to mimic a fleeing baitfish, the Flicker Shad will be the go-to bait when dad needs a crankbait. Floating Flicker Shads are available in 5 cm and 7 cm lengths and 12 fish-attracting colors. (800.237.5539, $4.49)

Help dad kick brass this year by getting him one of the new Smith & Wesson (smith-wesson.com) M&P15-22 tactical rifles. Manufactured on a dedicated .22LR platform, the M&P15-22 retains the look and feel of the standard M&P15 rifle while being chambered in the more economical ammunition. Lightweight, accurate and extremely versatile, this is one rifle the entire family will enjoy shooting.

The M&P15-22 features a fully functional charging handle, an AR-15 style magazine release, bolt catch and a two-position receiver mounted safety. Available in state compliant models, the M&P15-22 is the perfect addition to any dad's collection. (800.331.0852, $569)

Keep dad protected wherever he goes with the new Smith & Wesson (smith-wesson.com) BODYGUARDS. Providing personal protection with integrated lasers, the BODYGUARD 380 semi-automatic pistol and BODYGUARD 38 revolver offers dad a new and uniquely engineered, lightweight self-defense firearm.

The new pistol is standard with a 2 3/4 - inch barrel, manual safety, external slide stop and second-strike capabilities. The BODYGUARD 38 provides a one-piece aluminum alloy upper frame and steel reinforced polymer lower frame, allowing for discreet carry with its hammerless design and 1.9-inch barrel. (800.3310.0852, $575-$625)

You can't gift wrap snowy peaks, dark timber basins, grassy meadows or other types of elk country, but you can indeed give the gift of habitat conservation with a membership to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (www.rmef.com). For just $35, an annual membership includes a subscription to the award-winning magazine, "Bugle," and supports a habitat movement that has conserved or enhanced more than 5.7 million acres. Most work occurs on public lands, and more than 585,000 acres have been opened or secured for public access including hunting. (800-CALL ELK).
