As soon as Dropbox is uploading or downloading files, my Windows Explorer windows become nearly unresponsive, or at least very slow. Unless I deactivate Dropbox's synchronization, I'm constantly getting the blue spinning wheel, and clicking on folders takes forever.
I have a 2011 iMac with 8 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate, a
Windows Experience Index of
6.9, and Dropbox runs on an SSD disk. So, pretty much a fast configuration I think.
The problem also appears on my other PC, an older laptop which is of magnitudes slower, but the problem is about the same there.
The Dropbox synch mechanism is fast as always, so it's not an issue with the Dropbox servers.
Does anybody know the problem? Is there some way to disable the Windows Explorer Shell integration of Dropbox, without disabling Dropbox altogether?

(September 7, 2013)--NASA's newest robotic explorer is on its way to the moon.
The LADEE spacecraft lifted off late Friday night from Virginia's Eastern Shore.
It was a change of venue for NASA, which typically launches its moon missions from Cape Canaveral, Fla.
The launch provided a rare light show along the East Coast for those blessed with clear skies.
NASA expected the launch to be visible, weather permitting, as far south as South Carolina, as far north as Maine and as far west as Pittsburgh.
The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer, or LADEE, should reach the moon on Oct. 6.
It will orbit for a few months, analyzing the moon's delicate atmosphere and rough lunar dust.
The six-month mission costs $280 million.

After almost 5 years in patterns & practices, after participating in building EDRA, architecting GAX, working on three software factories, helping define the software factory platform, working on pattern languages, and doing other tings, I am moving on. I am not moving far, however. I will be an architect in the Dynamic Systems Foundation group, which is a part of the Microsoft Management & Services Division (MSD).
For the foreseeable future, I tend not to plan too far ahead though, I will be working on tools for modeling managed systems and applications. In order to manage anything, and in particular a complex hardware and software systems, one needs to
You cannot do any of the above effectively without describing (or modeling) the "should be" and the rules for the "change". Problem is, that there is no one agreed upon way of doing that and hence there are not tools to effectively model managed systems and applications. This, the shared models and tools, is what I will be working on.

The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

We have a LAN which shares a common WAN IP address. My friend logged in into StackOverflow with his login from his PC. He sent a link of a question to me to check it. I opened it in incognito window of Google chrome and I found to be automatically logged in into StackOverflow with my friends account in my PC. Is that caused because of the common WAN IP address for the entire LAN? If so it's a big issue. Any of my friend can get logged in into my account automatically if he is in this LAN and I sent a question link to him.

Political Stabilization Cycles in High Inflation Economies
High inflation economies often exhibit stop-go cycles of inflation, rather than smooth inflationary processes. This paper relates these stop-go episodes of inflation to a political cycle: the government can try to repress inflation until after the elections in order to increase the chances of being reelected. This is modeled as a two-period game of incomplete information where voters try to pick the most competent government, and inflation (which signals lack of competency) can be lowered by the government in the short run through foreign debt accumulation. Several stabilization episodes, such as the Primavera Plan in Argentina and the Cruzado Plan in Brazil, are used to motivate the model.

Singapore – Mar. 11, 2008 – Symantec Corp.

"Symantec's Backup Exec 12 is such a solution, delivering comprehensive data protection that allows organizations to grow and scale their Windows environments with confidence."

Tyson vs Snipes
"One night after (Mike Tyson's girlfriend) Hope had visited MT (Mike Tyson) in his LA apartment, he told me to follow her. She had left earlier than usual, telling him that she had to visit a friend. He wanted me to find out where she went, if she made any calls, if she talked to anybody, everything that she did after leaving him that night. So I grabbed the black Lamborghini Diablo and kept a safe distance ... At Roscoes, a soulfood hangout in downtown LA, she parked, got out of the car and walked over to a black Lexus ... her friend turned out to be actor Wesley Snipes.
"(Tyson) was paging me. I called him back to let him know the situation ... Less than ten minutes later, he pulled up in a yellow Testarosa, accompanied by a new bodyguard Anthony Pitts. Anthony was a former professional football player, stood about 6'7, and weighed in around 250. Tyson jumped out of the Ferrari.
"...When Hope caught sight of him, she practically fell out of Snipes lap and onto the floor. The actor froze then waved a hand"'Now, Mike, now, Mike, we can do this together. I dont want no problem.
"'Let's go into the bathroom!' Tyson snapped.
"When I returned from the parking lot, I noticed Anthony was blocking the bathroom door. A couple minutes later we heard a big noise inside, and then Tyson emerged alone.
"After he was gone, I cracked open the bathroom door. Wesley Snipes was sitting against the far wall, head tilted to one side, unconscious (italics mine)."

Fox Contributor: Democratic National Convention Is An "Anti-Law Enforcement Rally" In Disguise
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF

Loading the player reg...
The focus of the first day of the Democratic National Convention was how to "build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top," but right-wing media breathlessly attacked the Democratic Party for failing to mention ISIS.
Fox's Response Serves As A PSA In How NOT To Cover Sexual Harassment Stories
After Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox CEO Roger Ailes, Fox News personalities have rushed to defend Ailes while disparaging Carlson's character, dismissing her allegations, and accusing her of having ulterior motives. Their response mirrors the false tropes the network hosts push in their sexual assault coverage.
On July 6, former Fox News host Carlson filed a lawsuit against Fox CEO Roger Ailes, alleging that he fired her "after she rebuffed Mr. Ailes' sexual advances and also tried to challenge what she felt was unequal treatment of her in the newsroom by some of her male colleagues." Carlson also alleged that while she was a host of Fox & Friends, her co-host Steve Doocy "engaged in a pattern of severe and pervasive mistreatment" of Carlson. Carlson has been a witness to years of sexism from her male colleagues, plenty of it directed at her.
Several other women have come forward with complaints or contacted Carlson's law firm to report similar experiences of mistreatment.
Numerous Fox figures have rallied to Ailes' defense, falling back on the network's long-held strategy of dismissing sexual harassment – and even sexual assault – allegations by blaming the victims, trying to discredit the allegations by disparaging the victims' characters, and rushing to defend the character of the accused. Just as New York magazine's Gabriel Sherman predicted, the "Fox News PR machine" is fighting the sexual harassment allegations by "try[ing] to discredit Carlson's claims and any of the other women's claims who come forward."
After Carlson filed her lawsuit, her former Fox colleagues defended Ailes by immediately disparaging her character, dismissing her allegations, and suggesting she may have had ulterior motives.
Greta Van Susteren suggested Carlson may have falsely accused Ailes of sexual harassment because she was "unhappy that her contract wasn't renewed."
In a flurry of tweets on July 12, Sean Hannity dismissed Carlson's allegations, suggesting that if she had really been harassed, she would not have stayed, asked for more airtime, or written to Ailes:
Why did she ask for more "airtime"
After the alleged incident?? https://t.co/smFpp5Av9W

Why did GC send handwritten notes with smiley faces asking for more airtime after the "alleged" traumatic incident? https://t.co/Xg8dheo2gz
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) July 13, 2016
So why did u stay after such "harassment" asking for more airtime? If u had a new contract would u sue? I doubt it. https://t.co/7fDZtCBwvl
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) July 13, 2016
Brit Hume asked Carlson why she didn't just quit following the alleged harassment:
Here's another suggestion. Why didn't she quit & sue instead of suing only after she got fired? https://t.co/8GPKprxxsT
— Brit Hume (@brithume) July 7, 2016
This behavior isn't new for Fox figures. In the past, Andrea Tantaros has asked, "At what point do women need to take some responsibility" for sexual harassment. Hannity blamed a victim of sexual harassment for "staying in the car" with the accused offender after the alleged harassment. Greg Gutfeld claimed that victims allege sexual harassment "to safeguard future reputation-damaging things."
The network's victim-blaming isn't limited to sexual harassment. Hosts have blamed victims of sexual assault for "wearing a miniskirt," characterized victims as "bad girls … who like to be naughty," and altogether disputed the prevalence of sexual assault.
Fox figures also responded to Carlson's lawsuit by touting Ailes' character.
Jeanine Pirro called Carlson's allegations "absurd" and called Ailes a "no-nonsense guy," saying, "I just loved him."
Kimberly Guilfoyle claimed that of the women she's talked to at Fox, "Nobody believed" Carlson's allegations, adding that Ailes "is a man who champions women."
Bret Baier said that's "not the Roger I know," and added, "I can't say enough good things about Roger."
Neil Cavuto called Carlson's allegations "sick" and said they "don't remotely resemble the Roger that I know" because Ailes "is ALL professional."
Ainsley Earhardt, Martha MacCallum, and Harris Faulkner have also vigorously defended Ailes, calling him a "father figure" and a "terrific boss."
By focusing on defending the character of the accused, reporters treat the accused offender as the victim. And it's not just Ailes. Fox has a history of treating accused offenders as victims, including by claiming that the focus on campus sexual assault amounts to "a war happening on boys" and dubiously hyping the frequency of false accusations of sexual assault against men, even though false accusations are rare.

Fox News has continued its campaign to defend the network's chairman and CEO Roger Ailes from sexual harassment allegations, most recently reaching out to Mediaite to interview three female contributors who denied the allegations made by former host Gretchen Carlson.
Former Fox News host Carlson filed a lawsuit against Ailes alleging that he fired her "after she rebuffed Mr. Ailes' sexual advances and also tried to challenge what she felt was unequal treatment of her in the newsroom by some of her male colleagues." Carlson also alleged that while a host of Fox & Friends, her co-host Steve Doocy "engaged in a pattern of severe and pervasive mistreatment" against Carlson. Incidents of sexism against Carlson have been well documented on live television, and Carlson has been a witness to years of on-air sexism from her male colleagues.
While several other women have come forward with complaints or contacted Carlson's law firm, numerous Fox figures have rallied to Ailes' defense, including primetime hosts Greta Van Susteren and Sean Hannity. The Five host Kimberly Guilfoyle also responded to the allegations, asserting that "nobody believed" Carlson's allegations.
According to Mediaite, Fox News reached out to them, offering the outlet interviews with three women who work with Ailes in New York City. Fox's Ainsley Earhardt, Martha MacCallum, and Harris Faulkner vigorously defended Ailes, calling him a "father figure," a "terrific boss," and claiming that Carlson's lawsuit "brought people together" in support of Ailes:
Faulkner praised him for his pep talks, his ability to follow up on every promise he makes, and, finally, his willingness to stand behind his employees, which Carlson claimed he never did for her. Faulkner, who is a woman of color, explained where her deep respect for Ailes came from like this:
"Here's what I know: My rise and success have been a direct result of the merits and fabulous opportunities from mentors, including Roger Ailes. Without him, my journey would be quite different. He has changed the arc of my career. He believed in me when people who looked like me were not in network news. He put me in primetime and included me in the process of developing Outnumbered. I am profoundly grateful for the opportunities he gave me and not once have I ever been ashamed to say these five words: Roger Ailes believes in me."
Earhardt called him a "father figure" not once, but twice. She also revealed that when Carlson's lawsuit hit the headlines, she called her bosses and told them that if the need arose, she would be happy to speak out in support of Ailes because she simply believes in him that much. One reason for her ardent support of him is simple: Where most working women are afraid to tell their bosses they are pregnant and fear losing their jobs while away on maternity leave, Ailes gave Earhardt a promotion while she was gone on her leave.
"Roger is such a terrific boss," mused MacCallum. "I don't like to see anything that reflects negatively on him. If anything, [Carlson's lawsuit] sort of bonded us. It's brought people together."
New York magazine's Gabriel Sherman predicted that the "Fox News PR machine" would fight the sexual harassment allegations, noting that Ailes and Fox "will try to discredit Carlson's claims and any of the other women's claims who come forward." Sherman also reported that the charges "could be curtains for Ailes."
Fox has also downplayed the story on-air. Fox's first report on the allegations only included Ailes' statement denying the allegations and Fox's MediaBuzz -- a show dedicated to coverage of the media world -- only dedicated a three-minute segment to the scandal and defended Ailes by attacking Carlson's ratings.

Conservatives have just lost their excuse to question the results of the investigation relating to Hillary Clinton's email server, which legal experts say lacks a "legitimate basis" to charge Clinton with crimes. Right-wing media figures have ignored those experts to suggest that if the investigation does not result in a Clinton indictment, it must be politically tainted. But Attorney General Loretta Lynch affirmed that she will "be accepting the recommendations" made by "career agents and investigators" and FBI Director James Comey in the case, and conservative media have spent months lauding Comey's "impeccable integrity" and ability to impartially conduct the investigation.

For months, media have repeatedly claimed that presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was beginning to "pivot" to become a more "serious-sounding candidate" whenever he appeared to begin using "a more subdued tone" or briefly refrained from insulting his opponents.
Trump Paid His Family Owned Businesses With Campaign Funds
Bill O'Reilly ignored the fact that Donald Trump's campaign May financial report showed the campaign paid his own businesses and family for campaign events, instead choosing to debunk a controversy regarding a payment to what some initially believed to be a fictitious advertising firm.
During a June 22 discussion with Fox contributor Martha MacCallum, O'Reilly focused on a $35,000 advertising payment to New Hampshire ad firm Draper Sterling. The payment drew scrutiny because the company's name was similar to lead characters in a fictitious television series about an ad agency, Mad Men.
Media outlets have confirmed that Draper Sterling appears to be a real ad firm, although as ThinkProgress noted, it remains unclear what work the company actually did for the Trump campaign.
But O'Reilly ignored the most scandalous aspects of Trump's May FEC report. New York Magazine explained that the "embarrassingly bad" report showed that Trump raised just $3.1 million in May but paid out $6.7 million. Furthermore, roughly 20 percent of the money spent by the Trump campaign in May went to either companies owned by Trump and his family, or to travel reimbursements for his children. The Trump campaign also spent more than $900,000 on T-shirts, hats, mugs and signs. CNBC reported:
About 20 percent of May spending went to Trump companies or reimbursements for his children. That includes a roughly $423,000 payment to the Trump Organization's Mar-a-Lago club.
Trump's campaign also spent a solid portion of its May haul on "collateral," like T-shirts, hats, mugs and signs. It spent more than $900,000 on those categories, more than 13 percent of its total spending.
"Trump's failure to develop an effective fundraising operation has his campaign at this point without the resources to scale up its staffing, build a field organization, or begin advertising in crucial states," said Anthony Corrado, a professor of government at Colby College and campaign finance expert. "His campaign spending is largely devoted to the costs of personal paraphernalia, such as hats and mugs, which can be sold or distributed by the campaign as a means of raising small sums of money."
Conservative media are fearmongering over Washington state public schools' new LGBT-inclusive education standards that aim to teach students "the importance of treating others with respect regarding gender identity." Outlets are reporting that the state will soon begin to "teach transgenderism to kindergartners" and suggesting that Washington is promoting transgender "recruitment." But education professionals and advocacy groups say students benefit from learning about gender identity at an early age.
In December 2015, when Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine argued that fetuses from Planned Parenthood were "steam-cooked and taken to a Kentucky landfill," Fox News covered his baseless allegations. In contrast, no Fox News show followed up to note that Ohio taxpayers would cover $45,447 in legal fees Planned Parenthood incurred while fighting the attorney general's misleading claims about its practices.
On December 11, DeWine held a press conference in which he alleged that fetuses from Planned Parenthood were illegally "steam-cooked and taken to a Kentucky landfill." DeWine issued his claims after the state conducted a five-month investigation into Planned Parenthood, spurred by allegations made by the now-discredited anti-choice group Center for Medical Progress (CMP) that abortion providers were illegally selling fetal tissue. While DeWine concluded that fetal tissue was not being sold, he said his office discovered that Planned Parenthood's means of fetal tissue disposal violated state law requiring that fetal remains be "disposed of in a humane manner."
State media called into question DeWine's so-called "investigation" findings. The Akron Beacon Journal wrote that "it is hard to overlook the political theater at work" in DeWine's allegations. The Columbus Dispatch noted that no Ohio abortion clinic had ever been cited for improper handling of fetal remains. WBNS-10TV in Columbus, OH, also reported that the Kentucky Department of Environmental Protection said that no intact fetuses were buried there, that the disposal company and landfill have not been cited for any legal violations, and that nobody from the attorney general's office had contacted the Kentucky facilities to investigate.
But while Ohio state media dug into the substance of DeWine's remarks about Planned Parenthood, Fox News instead provided a platform for DeWine to further his baseless allegations. Fox News co-host Martha MacCallum interviewed DeWine during the December 15 edition of America's Newsroom, where he reiterated his claims that fetal remains were "taken to a landfill in Kentucky and dumped in that landfill." He went on to say that his office "think[s] [Planned Parenthood clinics] are in violation of the law." MacCallum told DeWine: "It strikes me that what this story and what the investigation that you've done, it sheds more light on the realities of this process, which a lot of people just really, frankly, don't want to know more about because it's very difficult to even think about."
In addition to Fox News, other right-wing media sites piled on with headlines about "steam-cooked" fetuses being "illegally dump[ed]" into landfills. (And neither of those outlets reported on the resulting cost to taxpayers either.)
Shortly after DeWine made his remarks, Planned Parenthood filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block any attempts by DeWine to impede access to abortion services. After a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order, DeWine ended the state's legal actions with those claims. However, the process DeWine launched ended up costing Planned Parenthood $45,447 in legal fees, which Ohio state officials agreed to pay in a settlement -- meaning Ohio taxpayers ended up footing the bill for the attorney general's unfounded claims, a consequence Fox News hasn't covered. While Fox News has called for investigations based solely on CMP videos, the network doesn't provide equal time when those investigations find no wrongdoing while costing taxpayers thousands of dollars.
By amplifying the false allegations while not reporting on the consequences, right-wing media are spreading lies and distortions.

Following the release of unsealed court documents related to the ongoing fraud and misrepresentation lawsuits brought against presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's now-defunct Trump University real estate seminar business, Eric Trump joined Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum to defend the business' practices with more lies and misleading claims.
Trump appeared on the June 2 broadcast of Fox News' America's Newsroom to discuss several topics, among them the recently released documents pertaining to a pending class-action lawsuit against Trump U. Trump repeatedly pushed the already debunked claim that the business "had a 98 percent approval rating." A New York Times investigation found, however, that the survey process for determining this approval rating was itself, in fact, "a central component of a business model that, according to lawsuits and investigators, deceived consumers."
Trump also compared allegations of fraud against Trump University to student dissatisfaction at "Harvard" and "every major university around the world." MacCallum did not push back on these claims, only speaking once after her initial question about Trump U. to note that, "any time you have a business, you're going to have some customers, and even some employees, who are disgruntled or dissatisfied."
From the June 2 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom:
MARTHA MACCALLUM (host): Let's take a look at something else. This is a quote from somebody who worked for Trump University. I know this is a legal matter and it's being handled in the courts, but in terms of a political matter, take a look at this quote. Because I guarantee you, you are going to see and hear this on Hillary Clinton commercials going forward. "I believe Trump University was a fraudulent scheme, and that it preyed upon the elderly and uneducated to separate them from their money." This comes from a person who worked for Trump University.
ERIC TRUMP: You know, Trump University had a 98 percent approval rating. 98 percent, meaning at the end of taking the courses, people graded the university and they wrote a little report card about it. A 98 percent approval rating. We actually posted that on a website so, you have people that come back and buyers' remorse or whatever it is. You have people that come back after grading it an A-plus, I loved it, I learned so much for it, I brought this into my own personal life, it helped me develop as a person, it helped me start my first business, etcetera, etcetera. And then they come back and say that, so you know, I think we're going to win that case. I know we're going to win that case. We have every single one of those report cards, it just undermines quotes like that. I mean, the university did a great job. It did a great thing. It was highly, highly respected.
MACCALLUM: The good outweighs the bad essentially. That any time you have a business, you're going to have some customers, and even some employees, who are disgruntled or dissatisfied.
TRUMP: There's probably people that go to Harvard and say, listen I went to Harvard and I got a great education and I can't find a job, or I didn't become the success that I could have been. Sure, I mean you probably have that at every major university around the world. I mean, Trump University had a 98 percent approval rating, and I think that wins the day.

First Baptist Church's Sanctuary Choir will present a patriotic musical "The Home of the Brave" at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Civic Center Auditorium.
The musical is one of a few church-sponsored Fourth of July-themed productions this week.

"I realized that there wasn't anything really being done besides the fireworks thing on the citywide level, so this is a first for us to do as a church on a citywide (level) a patriotic program, especially to do it in the (Civic Center) auditorium," Allen said.
Allen said the program begins with a multimedia presentation of images from the Sept. 11 attacks shown to Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man." Allen said the production has a 130-voice choir and a 50-piece orchestra.
Polk Street United Methodist Church, 1401 S. Polk St., will present "America" at 10:45 a.m. today, said Jerry Perales, director of music.
"It's part of the church service, an extended church service," Perales said.
The patriotic music program, which is open to the public, features a 33-piece orchestra and a 50-voice choir and will offer hymns and anthems, Perales said.
San Jacinto Baptist Church, 801 Tascosa Road, will recognize veterans at 10:15 a.m. services today. The service features a Marine Corps Color Guard and patriotic music.
"A Celebration of Family and Country" music program will be at 6 p.m. today at First Baptist Church of Canyon, 1717 Fourth Ave.
First United Methodist Church of Canyon, 1818 Fourth Ave., will have patriotic music and a color guard presentation by Boy Scout Troop 31 of Canyon at its 8:30 and 10:45 a.m. services today.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A Catoosa business owner has been arrested
after Tulsa police say he tried to hire an undercover officer to kill his wife.
Police say 55-year-old Stephen Bowen was arrested about 9:45 p.m. Monday on a complaint of soliciting first-degree murder. He was being held Tuesday in the Tulsa jail on a $100,000 bond.
Charges have not been filed, and it is unknown if Bowen has retained an attorney.
Police spokesman Jason Willingham says Bowen offered the undercover officer $10,000 to kill his wife and planned to stage a home invasion robbery.
Police say Bowen and the officer met Monday evening at a convenience store, where they discussed details of the crime. Bowen
was arrested as he left the store.

Being slightly drunk; buzzed.
I went to get a couple of beers just so I could get a little whizzled and take the edge off of the argument I just had with my girlfriend.

Research in Focus - Ready for More Growth: RTDs Continue to Defy Doom-Mongers
By Ben Cooper | 2 August 2013
RTDs have proved very popular in the on-trade in developed markets
The ready-to-drink (RTD) category continues to offer growth potential for spirits producers while giving their brands access to consumption occasions they were traditionally excluded from and the opportunity to attract new consumers through product innovation.
It may be one of the drinks sectors most often tipped for meltdown but the pre-mix or ready-to-drink (RTD) market shows no signs of obliging. Yet again, while some suggest the growth trend in RTDs is running out of steam, the category continues to turn in solid progress year in year out.
With the exception of three years during the economic crisis, where most drinks categories suffered, RTDs have grown steadily, with average annual growth of 0.6% over the past ten years. True, this is nowhere near the growth achieved during the explosion of the category between 1998 and 2003, when annual average growth of 20.8% was being achieved, but equally it does not suggest a sector which is on its last legs.
Indeed, last year saw an acceleration in growth, according to a new report from The IWSR and just-drinks, as volumes grew by 3.2% to 330m cases in 2012, with Japan, the US, Australia, Mexico and Canada leading the charge. While some markets, such as Russia and the UK, have declined during the past five years, that total volume figure makes the sector at a global level larger than all other categories with the exception of vodka and national spirits, and The IWSR/just-drinks is forecasting further growth for the sector.
It is not hard to see why the category continues to defy the doubters - for drinks marketers there appears to be much to love.
"Despite the mixed market performances, there are few categories that are as dynamic in terms of innovation and the energy that it brings to the marketplace," the report states. "RTDs have consistently evolved, adapted and innovated to find new ways of fulfilling consumers' needs. Perhaps they became malt-based instead of spirits-based, or launched new flavours, or altered the packaging format."
Moreover, the report suggests that trend of constant evolution looks set to continue. While the overall global outlook for RTDs remains "positive", The IWSR/just-drinks says there is a "revolution under way" as the focus shifts from the on-trade to the off-premise channel and the category "re-invents itself" accordingly, with more "sophisticated positioning, more convenient packaging and serve innovation".
The report outlines how RTDs have allowed spirits brands access to new consumption occasions, which were typically the preserve of wine and beer, such as picnics, concerts and sporting events.
The versatility of pre-mix drinks means that suppliers can target an array of consumer segments. As a rule, RTDs have tended to appeal to younger legal drinking-age (LDA) consumers, with a bias also towards female drinkers "The challenge for marketers is to extend beyond this heartland," the report states. However, the versatility and flexibility of the RTD format offers huge potential for the product innovation that can make that expansion possible.
Much of that innovation is coming in the form of new flavours, the report continues. "Producers are moving from mainstream berry and citrus flavours or classic cocktails toward more esoteric flavours," IWSR states. In addition to the addition of new flavours, the report also identifies premiumisation and low-calorie as other areas of product innovation for RTDs.
Another reason why spirits marketers appear to love the RTD format is its potential for underpinning the parent brand. This feature of the sector also flies in the face of received wisdom about RTDs. Far from realising a benefit for the overall brand, in the early days of the category marketers were concerned that such products might cannibalise sales of full-strength spirits brands. There were also concerns about the impact RTDs might have on the brand equity of an established brand. However, the evidence today is that well-executed RTDs can enhance both the sales and image of the parent brand.
Anu Goel, VP global marketing at Beam Inc, says innovation in RTDs is "accretive" to a mother brand. "Intuitively we know that RTDs enable our brands to recruit new consumers, play in new occasions, and extend brand visibility. In terms of being incremental to the full-strength parent, that really depends on how you execute the RTD. If you leverage the RTD to focus on a different consumer group, a different customer channel, and a different day part/occasion, then there's a much greater chance that you'll drive incremental growth for the brand."
The IWSR/just-drinks also point out that RTDs can be used as a means of promoting a spirits brand where advertising of full-strength spirits is not permitted.
They can also reinforce an accepted or desired style of usage for a major spirits brand. For example, Brown-Forman points out that mixing Jack Daniel's with Coca-Cola has been a key element in the brand's success. Jack Daniel's global marketing director Carmen D'Ascendis says "the RTD and RTS [ready to serve] versions reinforce our brand's mixability".
Another key advantage the RTD sector appears to have going for it is the sheer number of significant participants in the category. The RTD sector benefits from innovation and investment from a wide range of participants.
"The great strength of the RTD and RTS sectors is that there is a broad array of participants from the spirits, wine and brewing industries," IWSR states. "This guarantees a tremendous critical mass of investment around the category. It also ensures a tremendous amount of competition."
While not surprisingly Diageo is the largest RTD supplier, with a 13.5% share of the global market, the fact that this has fallen from 18.2% five years ago underlines that there are other significant players in the sector.
Japanese group Kirin is the second-ranked pre-mix supplier, with around 8.7% of the global market in 2012, while Canada's Mark Anthony Group is the third-largest producer with a 6.6% share.
Another Japanese company, Suntory, is the fourth-largest producer with a share of around 6% in 2012. New Zealand-based Independent Distillers is the fifth largest RTD producer on the market, while both Brown-Forman and Beam are significant players and have both enjoyed strong growth over the past decade.

50 reviews | 3.3 out of 5
Was easy to install and cooked great..... First time using I cooked a whole chicken, a boston butt and a rack of ribs... All three meats tasted sooo good.... Only thing is the manual said the water pan would hold water up to 4-6 hours.... In my case It was every one hour that I had to refill. But overall its worth every penny.
I have had my smoker now for two years , i just happened to be browsing through the web site to see whats new and started reading reveiws. I was actually shocked to see so many complaints . I have had exceptional luck with this product . I have cooked several hundreds of pounds of smoked meats for several partys and functions and the only complaint i have is that the door thermometer is 50 degrees off ( which i use three oven thermometers inside any ways ) and that the burner will be blown out in high wind conditions if trying to smoke at a low flame temp. of 225..solution ,wrap tinfoil around base of legs . All in all , keep it clean after each use ,fill water pan when needed while smoking meats ..i actually put wood and water in the center pan an outside water pan , keeps the water from boiling out that everyone keeps complaining about and creates steam instead of boiling out quickly ..let wood chips soak for a good 30 to 45 mins
Bought this smoker. All in all it worked well for the ribs and sausage I did in it. My only real complaint is the heating element is so close to the drip pan/water resovoir that you need to fill your resovoir every hour or hour and a half, and that was with a internal temp of 200-225. Held heat fine and many of the reviews I read had compaints about the door not sealing and external thremomerter not being accurate. I did not find either as a issue. Ran a themometer inside and temp was identical to the external thermometer. Its not the best smoker in the workd, but for the money it most definately does the job. I previously used an electric smoker and found gas to be much better. My old smoker was a cylinder and hard to load, unload and clean. With the front load on this smoker it is easy to load, unload and clean and to me that is a huge plus. All in all a good buy.
This is the easy way of smoking or not smoking your food. Yesterday I smoked a 7 Lb. Boston Butt for just over10 hrs., This was my first time with this smoke box. My other smoker is a large offset style that you have to keep putting wood in, at first it was fun... It has ben replaced by this smoke box. The pork had a great smoke line and was moist, best tasting smoked pork I have had in a long time... Rub the meat with yellow mustard and then use your favorite dry rub, massage it into the meat good and start it with a handfull of Hickory chips low and slow. put apple cider and water in the bowl, every 2 hrs. mist the meat with a spray of cider and dont let the water bowl dry up it makes a mess. The pork should flake with a fork when it is done. ENJOY
I have used this product and simular gas powered smokers to cook beef brisket, pork butt, pork ribs and whole chicken with excellent results every time.
Temperature control is precise, but use an oven thermometer hung from one of the racks on the inside. I don't trust the one that comes mounted on the door.
This thing sips propane. I can cook for about 24 hours with one propane fill up.
I was never successful at barbequeing until I used this smoker. If you can't afford a real BBQ pit, this is the way to go.
Heck, even if you can afford one, you might want to have one of these as a backup for when you want to be lazy.
Fit & finish - perfect from the day I put it together until now. Highly adjustable temperature settings - sausage @ 150 degrees to turkey @ 275 degrees and everywhere else in between. The fire lights everytime and stays lit even in moderate wind. Whatever temp I set it on, it stays there! Big plus.
Comes with three racks and six locations to put them in; i.e., super adjustable for cooking just about anything. Wood chunks last a long time - 2 long smoking sessions most of the time. If someone stole it, I'd buy another one tomorrow. Best investment I've made in a while.
Since I only occupied the 2 top racks with pork shoulders, I thought I would get creative and decided to put an aluminum tray on the bottom rack filled with water as I discovered the attention for water replenishment about every 30-45 mins into the 4 out of the 9 hours of my first use of the smoker. This did the trick for me as the smoker temperature went up to 250+ easily. And although you are only required to use the wood chips for the first 3-4 hours, I decided to keep up with the replenishment of the wood chips throughout the duration of the smoking process for that added wood smoke taste and... boy did the meat turn out great!! Just like anything, one will only get as much out of experience, based on the amount of attention and care put into it, especially monitoring it the first time it is used. This way, proper adjustments can be made and future smoking experiences will be much simpler as it did for me. I made it a successful first time experience for me and did not allow what I could not control bother me and instead, I did improvise and will make some minor modifications to my smoking process. However, Char-Broil should make a permanent design modification to not place the water tray above direct heat. Possibly leave the wood chips tray above direct heat then the water tray above the wood chips tray as I did. I am a Consulting Engineer, so may be we can talk to get you more sales on this product =).
I had higher expectations for this smoker being a Char-Broil product. Everything seemed to function ok but the door would not seal. There was a large gap that allowed smoke and heat to exit the lower part of the door. Additionally, the water and wood chip pan are the same. This puts the water on direct heat from the flame...which means it is gone really fast. If I was to keep it, I would probably have to customize it so that the water was not on direct heat and basically boiling away. I contacted Char-Broil about the door and they sent me a new door under warranty, which was great service. However, the new door they sent me wouldn't even close. It was just slightly too big for the opening. That seemed a little careless to me and that's when I decide to return the product.
You will get what you pay for with this smoker. While it does work, it requires constant attention to maintain proper water & temperature levels. The all-in-one water & wood chip pan is a terrible design. With water in the pan, temperature will not go above 200 even on high. The water rapidly boils away (30-45min.) regardless of what the burner is set on. When more water is added, the temperature plummets until it starts to boil. If you let the water pan go dry, then the temperature will easily go above 275 even on low. It is easy to overfill the water pan and have water spill all over the burner, potentially putting out the flame. Forget about adding more wood chips, as they sit in the middle of the water-pan. There are better smokers to be had for a few dollars more.
I have had this smoker for a little over a year now. I am smoking a 20# turkey right now! I smoked a 21# turkey for Thanksgiving. All my guests raved how good and juicy it was! I smoked it for 13 hours. I have also smoked several briskets, racks of ribs, and large roasts. The meats always turn out perfect! I think I am going to switch to an electric smoker so I dont have to baby sit it. The only cons is having to constantly re-fill the water, maintaining a constant temp, and the large amount of smoke and heat that escapes from the gap in the door. But like I said this smoker is a great buy for the money! I would recomend it for your first smoker. I originally had a barrell charcoal/wood smoker, and it was too much of a hassle. So I switched to this propane verticle smoker, now am going to move on to a electric verticle smoker.
Smoker works great, with one exception or maybe two. The water pan is too close to the heat source. You need to keep it filled about every hour. Also the pull-out drawer is a bad design. I tried the one in the store, and thought maybe they had just hurridly put it together, was the reason it wouldn't pull out. I was careful putting mine together, still will not pull out. Will probably have to do some tweeking.
was looking to pick up a smoker for about a yr. for the various game and fish we harvest. was shopping in the garden section and saw this smoker was listed for 139.00 normally but as I guess August is an off time or someone had made an error one of the boxes or perhaps the box being dirty on the outside had been marked down down to $74.00. We checked the box and it seemed factory sealed, so I brought it to the Courtesy Counter rather than the register and had them summon a manager. He checked it out and authorized the sale. Anyway got it home and took a day then assembled the unit the directions where straight forward. The unit itself was missing two nuts that were not in the sealed parts pack, One a nut that held the burner unit in place upon assembly, no biggie I had one of my own and in fact when crushing the box the missing nut fell out of the folded flap. The other (a one way) was one that should have been on the back of the "Chair-Broil Logo Plate" on the inside of the door. so much for quality control. Anyway fired it up after coating it down w/ cooking spray the temp is hard to maintain if you rely on the door gauge because the door thermometer is as others have stated OFF BY ABOUT 50 DEGREES, so you will need a decent oven rack one and that's what I used. The trail run I smoked three racks of ribs and sausages. I have no idea why the company would not make a unit with one that was accurate, but hey for the price I got it at it's good. I would say that they should include at least five shelves not three as if you want extra they sell them for like 40 bucks a pop. In summation I would say to totally cover the water /chip pan in tin foil prior to each use & then coat that two w/ cooking spray and keep the pan full of liquid as it's a hard to clean out if you let the thing run dry But over all I would say that this product although it does what it's supposed to is slightly overpriced at $139.00, and should retail for no more than $109.00, but that's me. Also there's no instruction guide for smoking things even a basic one would be a start so you'll have to get the stuff off the internet if your a starter like me.
I used to smoke on the old charcoal fired round dome smokers, maybe once or twice a year, too much cleaning. Now with this smoker I'm using it probably once a week. Contrary to most comments I have more problems keeping the temperature low in the summer, hard to run less than 220 F even at min setting. This makes slow smoking large items difficult, but the Thanksgiving turkey done at 160 F was perfect (aided by 50F outside temperatures). I found the door mounted thermometer not a good indicator for actual temperatures and use a digital meat thermometer in the exhaust to get my readings.
My youngest son and his wife bought one of these and the chicken and brisket he turned out with it were so mouth watering stupendous that I had to get one. It has not disappointed! My wife and I have made whole chicken, chicken wings, brisket, ribs and last week, turkey for Thanksgiving in it. They have uniformly been absolutely wonderful. In fact, the turkey was so succulent that we've agreed that for future holidays-- no more oven roasted turkey! We have a charcoal smoker that we have used with success in the past but this is clearly superior in terms of how much you have to watch it and the consistency of results is much better using a steady dose of heat than hit or miss with the charcoal. A real price performer. If you like BBQ or smoked meats, you can't go wrong.
Its a real pain to assemble. 6 pages of safety warnings with 1 page of use instructions. Apparently the only safe place to use it is in the middle if a football field otherwise you will be to close to something and violate the clearance restrictions. The door is difficult to open once the unit gets hot. Having said all that, the jerky and pork sholder I cooked turned out very well.
Poor packaging- when i picked up the smoker at the walmart store, the box was badly damaged and I was concerned that it might be damaged inside. When I unpacked it, I found several loose pieces of hardware in the bottom of the box. It turned out to be the bolts that hold the racks inside the smoker. Fortunately none of the hardware was lost so I was able to re-install it. It did have some minor scratches on the sides from the holes in the box. Faulty Thermometer- it does not work and I could not locate a telephone number in the literature to request a replacement. The instructions state that water in the water pan will last 5-6 hours but I had to refill it every two hours.
We thought this was going to be a good value...we were so very wrong. After getting the box home and (finally) finding all of the screws that had come out of their packaging, getting it put together....we thought....nice looking smoker! and it was , with the exception of a very small dent that wouldn't affect the cooking process. gosh we were wrong! It required so much attention, the water was supposed to last 4+ hours...nope, every hour. After 8 hours, It never did get up to temp, so we finished our pork in the oven inside....and it used so much gas...not economical at all! It is on it's way back to the store. It leaked smoke from everywhere, the legs were wobbly , and lacked the proper welding, only tac welded. We did order another smoker...this time electric and much more expensive, but with the proper gaskets and meat temp probe.
This is my 3rd smoker. Before I used char., then electric and this one, LP gas. I used it one time and then went back to the store. You get huge BTU's and I had it on high for 7 hours and my ribs still were not done. I went through tons of water and wood for a let down. I use it in colder temps and even put it in my garage so the chill would be off of it and still no luck. If you like to babysit your food then this would work for you.
I bought this about a year ago and the water pan/chip holder has already got a hole in in form the heat. Also, the thermometer NEVER worked. A complete and total disappointment! The last smoker I bought lasted five years and this one less than a year. Terrible product!
As someone who loves to entertain with family & friends as often as possible purchasing our vertical smoker was a great investment. Its very easy to operate and clean ups a snap. We love to smoke whole pork loins, pork chops, whole chicken as well as chicken legs by having the multiple racks it allows for many foods to be smoking at once by placing the larger meats closer to the bottom and the smaller pieces of meat close on the top racks. We highly would recommend all our family and friends to purchase one and we know for a fact that if anything ever went wrong with ours we diffidently would be buying another one. Hopefully soon we will be purchasing a new grill for ours is getting very old and rugged.
