Hello All,
A few months ago I made a blog entry regarding the future vision I saw of an automated fast food restaurant with McDonald's as an example. Now I would like to present a probable future of a clothing store, lets say it's the "Gap" retail chain.
Picture customer body image scanners that are situated inside a clothing store. Looking something like a next generation body weight scale. But with laser scanners tracing an outline of your personal body proportions.
In this next generation clothing store there is very little if any generic clothing on the racks. All clothing of the future is fine tailored by these body scanners for your measurements. Due to the fact of "Print on Demand" clothing weavers that take your scanned body measurements and within a few minutes before your eyes makes your garment for you.
This "Print on Demand" clothing weaver isn't a typical present day horizontal machine. But one that is a vertical weaver and stitching of clothing swatches preloaded into the printer. Before it produces any clothing a instantly foam molded mannequin is created on the printer that represents your body shape. Be it a torso, legs, or a full body mannequin that can be later shredded by the machine to be recycled and used again on another future mannequin.
Once the clothing weaver has its model mannequin with your body shape and contours ready. It begins its precision guided rotations on the mannequin with robotic arms. That weave new garment pieces, if its a one piece garment. Or stitch's preloaded swatches of clothing together before your very eyes. In a circular clear shattered proof glass exterior within this vertical clothing weaver. The robotic arms can also do customer embroidery and also custom air jet dye painting of a piece of garment.
So a customer of the future in such a clothing store can be scanned by the body image scanners. Then before their very eyes witness a mannequin be created from recycled foam as their proxy. With the clothing weaved and created behind the circular glass enclosure as a sideline entertainment for a fascinated customer.
The customer before being scanned for their measurements chooses which apparel they want via a touch screen kiosk. Where they can browse the entire catalog of garments available. Or mix and match to create custom clothing on the spot with a marketing campaign of: "Be Your Own Fashion Designer".
This is what the future of apparel retailers can offer us all with immense selection coupled by cutting edge technology.

Game Design Concept: Npc Mob To Player Level Scaling
Hello All,
For those of you reading this blog entry I am an avid online gamer. Whom enjoys the past time of the MMO (massively multiplayer online) game genre. With all that stated I'll share and combine my other hobby of novel and visionary design aspects for creative solutions.
Currently in a MMORPG (role playing game) there are various stages of npc (non player character) entities that are driven by the game's AI (artificial intelligence). Where typically the npc mob (monster enemy creatures) are in various sets of level of difficulties in contrast to a themed arena of activity. When a player reaches this arena that is themed as a landmark pavilion of sorts. Often times the players level of achievement is often too low or too high in order to interact with said npc mob. This is why in the beginning stages of a player character development. The game designers create a series of themed landmark encounters that consist of a stylized chain of progression.
My idea is to scale the level of npc mob difficulty in conjunction to a player achievement level. So if a player starting themed area has a level one rat enemy npc mob encounter. It is often placed there for a similar player level range of 1-4 to be interacted with in a combat mode. Now taking my idea into consideration where for example a player of a superior level encounters this formerly level one rat. The npc mob scales itself to the range of player achievement level so as to increase re playability for a player in this formerly benign themed landmark.
So lets say a level 50 player wouldn't encounter a level 1 rat npc mob. But a rat npc mob of around a range of 47-50 difficulty level in contrast dynamically to the player level.
This will make former themed landmark game play arena's renewed in activity. For a player subscriber to a MMO game title. Hopefully extending the shelf life of the game's usage albeit adding increased difficulty. By removing tedious and boring area's that were formerly conquered already in game play.

Movies Presentation Concept: Movies Theaters Streamed Online
Hello All,
To date box office movie sales in the US are slumping with DVD sales and cable television pay per view and video on demand taking it's revenue share. Apple itself has debuted a Mac / PC Media hardware platform that allows video content to be streamed to a home Tv set calling it "Apple Tv". There is also the rental DVD market to be included like the Blockbuster and Netflix arch rivals duking it out to the top of the pack leader.
My concept is for bricks and mortar movie theater franchises to expand to the online arena. Not by downloaded movie's to a home computer or PC media center. But to be streamed via a proprietary media player that mimics a movie theater presentation in it's border frames and control console. Already Netflix has decided to host downloaded movies to it's customers, much like other companies like Cinema Now.
So if a movie theater chain like: Lowes, AMC, General Cinema, amongst others decides to showcase on their websites a streamed movie theater experience. That will undoubtedly increase their revenue streams outside from what they can only showcase in their bricks & mortar franchise locations. Much like the Blockbuster company trying to compete with Netflix in a recent advertising campaign. Showing the incentive of mailing DVD rentals to their customers whom they can drop off and rent more movies from their franchise locations.
Such is the case with movie theater companies opening a new front to online audiences in hosting streamed movie showcases. There of course can be cross-promotions to receiving discounts or other marketing pushes to buy the DVD version at a later point. If not merchandising of movie poster and other apparel and memorabilia sales with an e-commerce site by the movie chain's website.
This seems like a very novel expansion and logical next step for movie theater goers from the comfort of their home PC.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day
Hello All,
I wanted to post a couple of days ago, but it seemed that numerous Google blogs were down due to a coding error. At this time with today's entry I'll only be submitting two new quotations I've authored. Since I need to ration them out for the ones that are the most recent to date.
Enjoy them.
781) Luck is grace manifested by one's very own divinity. It is an atonement to one's personal triumph for that intent. Luck is truly the expression of the sublime that binds us all together by blessings and miracles. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
782) Judgements against others are stones cast at its victims. Victims whom you may not always be privy to their full melo-drama. Do we desire to stone a living person as a group to death? I hope not, but we do this time and again by the avenues of the Spirit world. Our thoughts or judgements are like arrows of spirit based harm, shot at others soul through God's eternity. Such consequences we may not fully understand as solely physical entities. With such a centric view point of life and it's dealings. Lessen your harsh judgements and you lessen the poison you allow into your hearts each day in this mortal world of ours. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
----------------------
If I'm content with a little, enough is as good as a feast. ---Isaace Bicker Staffe c.1735-1812.
Each of us is great insofar as we perceive and act on the Infinite possibilities which lie undiscovered and unrecognized about us. ---James Harvey Robinson.
In order for the light to shine so brightly, the dark must be present. ---Francis Bacon.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day
Hello All,
Here is my latest installment of my "Jewels of Truth" segment for your enlightened pleasure. May you enjoy it as much as I have in authoring these wisdom based quotations.
776) Beloved remember among all the hostile environments of this Earth. This one truth holds forever that a heart filled with unconditional love will invoke the "Kingdom of God" upon your shoulders. No matter what specific faith you adhere to, no exclusion can with hold the mercy & compassion of God's graces upon this truly blessed Earth.
For this Earth will one day pass on as so many of her creatures have gone before her. Know that your faith guided by trust and compassion will release one from many the maladies that a mortal life can cast upon you. Be full of strength and God's courage to live wisely and full of joy. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
777) Laws are just as dysfunctional as the institutions that write them into being. Laws as a form of social contract are meaningless without an ardent group of people to uphold and enforce them. A law is useless when it is disregarded by the people and especially by the governing bodies that created them. Legal & Illegal reforms are meaningless without a body of supporters to make it so. Laws are a function of the psyche of a society to govern itself, by its own standards of any given culture that dominates it at the time. People are at the heart of mitigating just and unjust laws being ordained or neglected due to complacency, corruption, or a higher truth that is at work. In the end as it is in the beginning, the people are the law and the only authority. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
780) Tell me of a religious institution that is not dysfunctional, and I shall call it truly immaculate as an governing body. All institutions created by mortal hands are prone to being uneven and dysfunctional in nature. Acceptance of this sometimes selfish and competitive interests versus a cooperative spirit causes much internal conflict. Knowing this attitude at all levels of the governing body will exercise great fortitude in its relations with all served. It should let go of petty motives and seek to improve all relations in an inclusive sharing spirit of open mindedness and action. So as to complete a cycle of service from the hierarchy to the end user with kindness and compassion as it's true dogma. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
-----------------------
In every adversity there is a seed of equal or greater benefit, but you must be receptive and willing to look for and find it. ---Sue Mackey & Laura Tonkin. "Living Well, Working Smart: Soft Skills for Success."
I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened. ---Mark Twain.
Even in a world that's being ship wrecked, remain brave and strong. ---Hildegard von Bingen.

Municipal Development Concept: Sister Cities In Arms
Hello All,
What if on the county US level across the States we paid more than lip service to our honoree sister cities. For example, here in my Florida county of Sarasota we have six designated sister cities. They are: Dunferline, Scotland; Hamilton, Ontario; Perpignan, France; Tel Mond, Israel; Vladimir, Russia; and finally Siming District, Xiamen China.
Sister cities usually align themselves due to the cultural demographics of their adopted city. In this case many citizens from other countries have chosen as their adopted home my city and county of Sarasota.
Now instead of only an official designation in name only for a sister city. Why not put some muscle into it where it belongs, where the county or province local governments draw up a developmental wish list. Such a wish list of municipal development be it in infrastructure or other citizen initiatives would need to be approved or ratified. Once done so from each of the other sister cities in kind via a larger collective barter system. One of the other sister cities picks an item of need from another city and pours needed aid into the initiative. Be it a: trade development package, disaster relief, needed skilled personnel, student exchange programs, resources, charitable aid, block grants or loans.
Such a slew of available menu options to aid other sister cities will help foster civic pride within one's own city and those whom are being aided. Not just from the public government sector, but from the private commercial and private charities that become inter-dependent in such a web of relationships.
This is truly a "Win / Win" scenario when sister cities step out of their own bubble mind-set and look beyond their own geographic boundaries.

Food Concept: Sweet Pasta
Hi All,
This dessert type of food treat came to me whilst I was eating lunch with pasta filled with garlic paste. My "A Ha!" moment came shortly afterwards, since I enjoy many types of eclectic dessert treats.
Picture Ravioli filled with chocolate instead of the typical meat or cheese fillings. The sweet fillings can be: milk, dark, white chocolates, caramel, taffy, cotton candy, and fruit jams. The pasta itself can be plain or it can be sweetened to include various different flavors onto itself. Such as a chocolate flavored pasta, or any of these varieties such as: peanut butter, vanilla, cookie dough, mocha, strawberry, etc... Besides it doesn't just have to be ravioli type of pasta it can be any other type of pasta that allows fillings to be present.
This is even a better dessert treat if accompanied with a sauce topping like hot fudge, or caramel. Mmm, can't you just picture it now. :o)

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day
Hello All,
Today I'll return to the former line-up of quotes that left off at number #773 from mid-November.
Enjoy my own authored wisdom based spiritual quotes.
773) Revenge is an empty road leading no where. It is ripe with hatred and offers only destruction to its intended victim(s). It is truly one of the many inroads to perdition. Surrender such hatred with forgiveness for the sake of your own inherent sanity and well being. That is the way to reconciliation for ones own sake by mercy. Otherwise hell on Earth will persist to your own undoing. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
774) "Precept of Time & Eternity"
In a moment one can understand eternity. As a concept of no time at all. Eternity is but an instant, one moment in time but paradoxically it consists of no time at all. This instant for eternity to a mortal is incomprehensible due to a linear view point. From the point of view of eternity it is a fully non-linear moment. Linear time scale is set at the slowest time dilation for mortal creation. For eternity which consists for an instant, it is set at full velocity ahead. Or full momentum without any restrictive dilations of time. To understand a mundane moment is to understand all of creation in but an instant. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
775) When you bless one soul, you will bless them all. Since we are all one meta-entity (spirit) in this realm and in many other forms of existence. We are one akin to a web of conduits to each other. One can not be effected well without affecting all those in their realm of influence. A blessing, a miracle, and grace are all methods to reveal ones holy identity in this life. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
---------------------
Our walls of division do not rise all the way to heaven. ---Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow.
Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. ---Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
What you resist, persists. ---Carl Jung.
Beauty seen makes the one who sees it more beautiful. ---David Steindl-Rast. "A Listening Heart".
Prosperity depends more on wanting what you have than having what you want. ---Geoffrey F. Abert.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quote Of The Day
Hello All,
Tonight I would like to only share two of my spirtitual quotations I have just writtened in the last couple of hours. May you find the truth in them as I have sought it for myself. Amen.
--------------
778) Many have forgotten and few remember, but isn't that what a journey is for?
We came into this warm mortal being so that the Earth may have a tender unconditional love. All creatures have returned from paradise to be of service in this time of transition. Surrender your worries unto her/him who is eternal, so that your love may grow abundantly. With such a bounty of absolute love will pour forth life in its myriad and blessed forms.
Be one with your very own Holy Spirit. To regain what you have forgotten what is already yours to give fully. Giving in service with a joyful spirit will be your personal salvation, for now and always in eternity. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
779) What is love? Where does it come from?
Love is the life force of creation. It comes from the dimensions you call heaven. As hate comes from the planes of hell. It is all one meta-reality combined into many sphere's, much like that of Earth. Your mortal guise may reside here on this world. But your spirit as well as that of your life resides simultaneously in many realms at once.
As an inkling sliver of God we all can transverse many realities simultaneously. Since God's Spirit makes it so. We can bring Love from Heaven or we can bring Hate from Hell. It is always our choice in the: beginning, middle, and the end. For it is all one place in this instant moment we call eternity. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare. ---Benedict De Spinoza.

Storage Concept: Closets With Walled Drawers
Hello Everyone,
This concept is mostly for home builders if not for some commercial locations. Since space is at a premium always when it comes to real estate. What if in allocating additional closet space one adds sets of drawers to the wall(s) of a closet location.
Say for a residential "walk-in closet" that most are practically large enough to fit an austere bathroom within. Having one side wall with a roll-out drawer chest embedded in that location. Will yield additional closet space for what is usually empty space within a walled off section of a home. (lest any inside electrical wiring)
An added special feature could be an electric powered drawer chest. Where instead of manually opening up a walled drawer set. One can push a button on a individual drawer for it to slide out and in.
In a commercial location this can be handy for office supplies. Or for storing additional inventory depending on its size in a larger sized depositing drawer system.
For creative architects this is another option for your clients who value additional storage locales within a property. This is a no-brainer idea who's time has come.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day
Hello All,
Here is a fresh batch of three new spiritual quotations penned by my hand. Besides other notable quotations I believe are worthy to share on this blog of mine. Besides here is a little diddy on how these inspired quotations come to me. They have a dual purpose as my Spirit Teachers know so well, that I need sustenance of the soul. So these automatic writing statements are as much for myself as they are for many more to come down the years yet unborn. May you enjoy them as I have in sharing these universal truths.
769) To love oneself or another with full support, even though one does not see eye to eye on many topics or ideologies. Is what is termed as unconditional love in expression and practice. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
770) Our faith when coupled with unceasing gratitude will open one's attitude. To one of wholeness and properious thinking by living such a set lifestyle. It is a path of awakening to your Spirit within and its abundant treasures from the vault of God's bosom. Be still and know when one maintains harmony of Spirit, one's attitude can surmount obstacle after obstacle. Have faith in yourself and your creator with full thanksgiving. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
772) In Heaven there is no error or sin, no wrong doing of any kind. Thus for all creations of God may enter paradise without any indignity upon them. All this is forgiven with unconditional compassion for all children of God. There is no need to judge your neighbor falsely, nor persecute them without witness to the point made above. Accept yourself as a Divine creation with a mortal guise, and relinquish all baggage that humanity imposes on you. Let go of these misleading traits so as to be who you truly were meant to be. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
-------------------------
For perfect love casteth out fear, and fear can only be from the material things that soon must fade away. And thus hold to the higher thought of eternity. For life is a continual experience.
---Edgar Cayce Reading 1175-1.
Renew your brilliance. It is the privilege of the Phoenix...Dare... dawning many times, like the sun. ---Baltasar Gracian.
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your despair. Samuel Ullman. 1840-1924.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle. ---Philo of Alexandria.
May the sun bring you new energy by day, may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being. ---Apache Blessing.
Here is a fresh batch of three new spiritual quotations penned by my hand. Besides other notable quotations I believe are worthy to share on this blog of mine. Besides here is a little diddy on how these inspired quotations come to me. They have a dual purpose as my Spirit Teachers know so well, that I need sustenance of the soul. So these automatic writing statements are as much for myself as they are for many more to come down the years yet unborn. May you enjoy them as I have in sharing these universal truths.
769) To love oneself or another with full support, even though one does not see eye to eye on many topics or ideologies. Is what is termed as unconditional love in expression and practice. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
770) Our faith when coupled with unceasing gratitude will open one's attitude. To one of wholeness and properious thinking by living such a set lifestyle. It is a path of awakening to your Spirit within and its abundant treasures from the vault of God's bosom. Be still and know when one maintains harmony of Spirit, one's attitude can surmount obstacle after obstacle. Have faith in yourself and your creator with full thanksgiving. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.
772) In Heaven there is no error or sin, no wrong doing of any kind. Thus for all creations of God may enter paradise without any indignity upon them. All this is forgiven with unconditional compassion for all children of God. There is no need to judge your neighbor falsely, nor persecute them without witness to the point made above.

Part 2: Amusement Park Concept: Project Name "Epic Dream Parks"
Hello Everyone,
Last year in my September 2005 entry on this blog site I provided a "Part 1" submission on what I envision as the next generation amusement park model. What originally was intended to be updated in weeks turned out to over a years time.
September 2005 Entry Link:
--------------------------------
http://atrayosoracle.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_atrayosoracle_archive.html
Now without a further adieu here's additional ramblings of this MMORPG / FPS (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game & First Person Shooter) amusement park of tomorrow.
Entertainment Complexes:
--------------------------------
Bringing in disparate entertainment business models all under one roof for a seamless game park experience. For example reworking the conventional arcade parlor outlets, besides adding "Laser Tag" type arenas for a real life FPS experience in the park system.
The Arcade Parlors would be interconnected like a franchise where all of the arcade kiosks are on the same network. Be they arcade parlors within the park system or down the street from the local neighborhood major mall locale. Those off-site arcade franchise sites would be considered to the online at home gamers playing the MMORPG / FPS via the internet. As a real life themed way station or outpost in the frontier of the online game world system that the park system will also utilize simultaneously. So those in the park system will intermingle in game play with those at home playing on their online game account. Including those visiting the arcade parlor kiosks sorta like an Internet Cafe just for gamers.
For the "Laser Tag" arenas which would be less messy than a paintball arena model. All park patrons or those Laser Tag arenas that are also franchises that are off-site from the park system. Will have armbands signally which side of the fictional game world conflict they are in at the time. So to differentiate players within their own side there will be a ranking system similar to what Electronic Arts as a game developer for FPS games in their Battlefield 2 series. Taking it a step further those in the laser tag park arenas or those in the off-site franchise locations. Will be able to buy a generic "Arm Band" ala a velcro seal where they can signify their in-game world rank and merit awards. So if a player in said ranking system unlocks the rank of sergeant. They can purchase via a online e-commerce account or at the Laser Tag arena gift shop. Velcro like badges much like those in the US Military wear on their shoulders. So a player will gain access to be able to purchase their sergeant badge for their armband. Besides any other sideline medals and awards gained during the life of the account holder for that particular game avatar.
So if during FPS real life game play in the "Laser Tag" arena. They get fragged (killed fictionally in-game) the game system will grant the opposing player points that they knocked off a sergeant in the laser tag arena. The point system will contribute greatly to the merit based ranking system for the players of the park system, online game, and arcade parlor participates.
Event Coordinators
--------------------------
In typically "Pen & Paper" role playing games there is often a referee that acts as a "Dungeon Master" (DM). Taking such a role to the amusement park system of tomorrow. There would be DM's that would coordinate events for the park patrons, online gamers, and the arcade parlor customers. There will also be two tiers of event coordinator staff. The first tier is the entry level staff members that are DM's in training. That would impersonate NPC's (non player characters) in the game world that would typically be enemy combatants to the players / customers. So a tier 1 event coodinator would level up a certain mob (creature) that interacts with the park patrons, online gamers, and those of the arcade network. The creatures could be benign quest givers or adversal in gameplay combat. The Tier 1 staff during the course of their employment have the chance to game alongside the customers. Where if they max out an entry level mob they graduate to the next mob in order to level them out and so forth until they reach the full rank of a Dungeon Master. For example a Tier 1 events coorindator starts off in a new comer (newbie) zone pretending to be a werewolf gaming against the customers. Eventually this tier 1 staff member reaches the next order of creature to inhabit which will be in another zone of the game world. Lets say a sailor npc giving quests to the park customers, online gamers, and arcade participates. So this Tier 1 staff member would need to mature through the event coordinator system as if in a circuit of roles until they graduate as a full blown "Dungeon Master".
The Dungeon Master Tier 2 event coordinator staff members are like the manager level. They coordinate various tier 1 staff members who are their underlings. They're secondary role is to offer high level or high profile events to the park patrons, online gamers, and arcade customers. Be it a raid on a settlement with a horde of NPC's and some Tier 1 staff intermingled. Such a settlement could be a off-site franchise arcade parlor locale that is considered a frontier location in the game world. Thus increasing the business revenue of said franchise arcade location in a special event. Same can be said with a "Laser Tag" arena within the park system or a franchise location located off-site.
In Closing for this entry on the "Epic Dream Park" system of amusement parks of tomorrow. That introduces several parallel entertainment business models into a seamless complex hub for gamers. Will continue to evolve the existing models of the arcade parlors and online games that cater to the MMO demographic. Besides reining in the laser tag arena's into the over arching lore and game play stories generated by the customers themselves. Thus creating entertaining memories to be cherished for many years to come. Be it with the family at large or your new extended family of fellow hobby enthusiats.
