A Smooth-On submerged something-or-other.
A pirate ship?
is it a condom?
Haha...good one GNCgamer128
package peanuts? :P
I hope it's cookies! nom, nom, nom...
Muad'Dib: I like your use of the words "grown-ups" I refer myself as one of these versions as well, except luckily I no longer live in my parents basement.
something your are making casts of? ;)
..oh yea, and Smooth-On was a good guess. Although, the comedic answers brighten my day.
I am going to open the box this afternoon. Then I will remove it's original guts, put it back together, and pour in some resin to show my work. Man am I excited!
Any last guesses...or more comic relief?
Gweneth Paltrow's head?
mmmm...Gwyneth Paltrow....legs...
haha D. that sounds like Homer SimpsonQuote:
mmmm...Gwyneth Paltrow....legs...
The suspense is killin' me
it IS a condom!!!
It looks more like a dam
Looks like Pink Play-doh
Quick teaser:
The mold is complete. It turned out great. Pouring some resin now. Pics soon...
First pull from the mold is complete. What do you think?
I am pleased with my first one. I figured I would possibly need to make a few air vents, and I was correct. I did get an air pocket in the trigger and part of the trigger guard, I will fix the mold to prevent this on pull two. Pouring one first helped me to find these areas so I know exactly where to put the vents and not make any that are unnecessary.
This is a project of mine I have thought about for a while. My main intention is to make a more durable version, something I could hand a child and not be as worried about. I don't even like letting my friends play around with my Mojo Sidearm. I love it and would hate to damage it. And as for my real Pulce 40, that is my favorite item in my collection. So I decided to try a one piece cast. I used a softer resin. When it is completely dry it is firm, but it does have the slightest flex to it. I am also now considering doing another mold with the barrel separate. Then for the barrel use an aluminum resin to give it a metal look.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
That's definitely NOT a condom.
But seriously, very nice I'd love one of these one day. Is that straight fiberglass resin?
It is smooth cast 45D semi rigid resin plastic. I have enough material to do maybe 5 more. I am going to the shop tomorrow and look at some more materials. I just finished adding some air vents to the mold so my next pull should be even better. I am gonna try to do it tonight. Quite a time consuming project this has become.
If there's a list, throw me on it.
Well I just pulled the second cast, and the air vents worked perfectly. It has a couple small bubbles, but nothing that can't easily be filled in. I am very pleased. The entire trigger filled up without bubbles and the trigger guard area turned out good as well.
I was upset when I saw the line between the frame and the back tube part of the gun just above the trigger area. In the pic this thin white line looks jagged. but it is the detail of the thin gap between the two parts giving the illusion that it is a tube inside a frame, like it is two parts. The actual line is very clean, so no clean up needed. Once you paint that part you wont see the interior of that space and this thin gap will make it easier to mask up when it is painted.
That's all for tonight. More work tomorrow...
DUDE. HOW MUCH im so keen
Why dont you just cold cast in that mold as the handl will ber painted any way i dont thinlk it is nessasary to make another mold
Fantastic job! Knew you could do it. =)
Here is a pic of how I did the tip. I filled in the slot area but made it thin enough so it should be easy to remove this material and have the area be hollow. I am going to paint the tip of the first pull as an experiment to see if I will cut this area out or just paint it black. The slot is recessed in about 1/4 inch so there is depth to it. Any thoughts?
great job brother! these came out really nice! :thumbsup
would like to see one painted up! ;)
Thank for the kind words. I will be test painting pretty soon, but I am going to the shop today to discuss materials, paint, etc. More to come soon.
Id say keep the tip solid if you drill it it will be prone to braking,
Maby try a opauqe plastic ,
What about laying in a steel or aluminum rod into the barrel of the blaster? That would strengthen the resin a little bit.
Id say paint flat black in there and leave it for strength like u said this is to let other people handle it...better safe then sorry right? Looks great the side arm is on of those little things that would be cool to have even without having an ESB Fett
I was just thinking I would paint the handle and all then Rub-n-Buff the metal parts.
I just got some stuff to try out. There are two methods of application. One you put the powder directly on the mold in the area that you want to be metal, then pour resin and it will effectively cover those areas only. The other method is adding it directly to the resin before you pour, but I would probably need to use a different resin with no color, but then it won't have the elasticity like the material I have now. The metal color may not show as well because this material is dark brown, so the color will be less noticeable. If I use the harder, but clear resin, the whole piece will look metal, and then you just paint the handle/body area. I will have to experiment so we can see some different results.
I just pulled the next one. It came out great. I still have a few small bubbles, but they can easily be filled in. Here is a pic to see the side and a closer view from under the trigger looking up to see the gap in between the trigger guard. The seam on the mold is great and the clean up is very minimal. The flaky stuff around the trigger is wafer thin and cuts off easily
Using the method of putting the powder in the mold and not in the resin isnt worth your time ,
what i do is mix both dust the mold with ali powder and mix up a CC batch (make sure you mix the powder in to part A before mixing the 2 parts it may sound odvious but it does hapen) they say 2 parts Ali to 1 paqrt 50 -50 mix waight ratio but i think 1.5 parts to 1 part 50 - 50 mix is a better result and stronger ,
,shore i dont need to tell u this but ijust in case , as some people rush in with out the facts and can waist alot of prod , me for instance
I think the blaster is looking great!
Wow, are you doing runs of this??
Looking very good. What is the weight differnece between this and the real thing? If this is lighter it would be a great trooping option.
It feels almost the same in weight as the original, but on the scale it is a bit heavier.
Original Pulce 40: 21 ounces
My new resin copy: 22 ounces
It doesn't feel heavy walking around my apartment with it. Also if I use the stiffer material with the aluminum powder, the weight will change a bit. I think the dark brown material is a bit more dense than the firmer stuff. It holds shape well and also has a slight give to it, like a superball but not so rubbery. You could drop it from 10 feet and most likely nothing will break or crack (but you never know). If you grab the barrel and push you can get about 1/4 inch of bend, but it doesn't sag or anything. I think that in the end I may get a material that is just a bit more firm, but not the brittle stuff.
As for selling some copies, here is my interest thread in the Boba Fett Costume section:
I painted the barrel with a metallic matte nickel paint. It is the closest I have found to the actual finish
I then masked off the barrel and threw on some red. The pic colors are off a bit from the flash, but you get the idea. I will sand and do another coat and we can check it out roughly painted with no weathering.
oooh...you gotta share what color red that is!
Red auto primer
yep, it is a Rust-oleum red primer
Here is a pic after the first test paint.
I rushed it so there are some area's that I need to fix. I just wanted to get a good idea of the finished product, and look for any flaws or anything that would show up more once it is painted. All in all, I am very pleased with the end results.
I did post an interest thread in the Boba Fett Costume area. Since the build is complete, I see no need in continuing both threads so my continuation with this project will be on the interest thread. Here is the link:
Here is a link to my Sales Thread for this sidearm:
buying one
I don't have any pics to post yet, but I am working on a mod for the sidearm. I did a cast of the trigger only and got some roll pins and springs. I am going to attempt to mod it so the trigger works with spring action. I plan to cut off the old trigger, drill out an angled hole, screw a spring into this hole and stretch it to the trigger front to add tension to the trigger. Then with the trigger attached to the body with a roll pin to pivot on, it should effectively become a spring loaded functional trigger. If it is successful, I will build a small kit and make it available for those who have one of my sidearms.
...anyone have any thoughts or ideas on this that may work better than my idea?

Trevor Mbakwe,
Okaro White
TEAMS: Florida State Seminoles, Minnesota Golden Gophers
TEAMS: Florida State Seminoles, Minnesota Golden Gophers
Game time: 7:15 p.m. ET
Florida State is off to a quick start, but coach Leonard Hamilton still feels that Minnesota is "further along" than his team.
The 21st-ranked Golden Gophers will try to prove that Tuesday night in Tallahassee in the ACCBig Ten Challenge.
The Seminoles (4-1) are undefeated - including the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic title - - since a season-opening loss to South Alabama, but Hamilton now gets to see his team tested against a ranked opponent for the first time in 2012-13.
The Seminoles won six of their last seven against the Top 25 last season en route to their first ACC tournament title, but with star guard Michael Snaer - the team leader with 16.0 points per game - the only senior in this year's rotation, Hamilton said they're "still a team that's growing."
"(The Golden Gophers) have a little more experience returning," Hamilton, whose team defeated North Florida 75-67 on Wednesday, told the school's official website. "They're extremely deep - they play 11 people in the first 10 minutes of the game. They have some veteran guards and athletic forwards. This is a good basketball team."
Minnesota (6-1) arrives in Tallahassee after defeating Stanford 66-63 on Saturday for fifth place at the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in Nassau, Bahamas. After scoring a career-best 41 points in Friday's 84-75 victory over then-No. 19 Memphis, sophomore guard Andre Hollins missed seven of eight shots and finished with eight points against the Cardinal, but he hit three clutch free throws with 0.4 seconds left after getting fouled on a midcourt shot.
"It was real tough today because I couldn't stop thinking about yesterday," said Hollins, named the Big Ten player of the week on Monday. "I knew it would be a physical game and it was. I knew it from the first shot I took when I got hit hard and they kept it up so I became a distributor for our big guys and that was fine."
Already getting good production from senior forward Rodney Williams Jr., who is scoring a team-best 14.1 points per game with 6.1 rebounds, the Golden Gophers could be an even tougher matchup for Florida State's big men as Trevor Mbakwe is rounding back into form. Mbakwe, who played in just seven games last season due to a torn ACL, had his best game of the season Saturday with 19 points and 12 rebounds.
He leads the team with 47 boards despite playing a little more than 18 minutes per game - all off the bench.
Junior forward Okaro White, who like Snaer (the MVP) was named to the All-tournament team at the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, understands the challenge that awaits the Seminoles.
"They're a really good team," White said. "Their coach (Tubby Smith) said this is probably the best team he's coached at Minnesota. ... they're looking to beat us also, so we need to come into this game prepared."
Florida State has won two in a row versus Minnesota - both in the ACCBig Ten Challenge - to improve to 4-3 in this series. In the last meeting, the host Seminoles won 75-61 on Nov. 27, 2007.

Three updates: 1. Mac OSX Airport Utility Update 2. iOS Airport Utility Update 3. Firmware updates for Airport Extreme and Express Get 'em all, boys! Took me about 20 minutes to update the FW in my Airport Extreme and 5 Airport Expresses. FYI, I had to run Airport Utility a couple times before the red badge showed (indicating FW update available) on all my routers. Be patient with it, it all works. |

As far as I can tell, yes. I updated my TC first, it re-booted but it does take a while to sort itself out so patience is the key. I then updated my AE..same deal.
All my network settings were retained, and I have had no issues at all since updating them both last night.

It's not a problem with routing either, the TC is only configured as a bridge for WiFi, I have a separate DSL router and PowerLine (homeplug) network that transports the audio. I downgraded to 7.6.1 and it's all fixed. File a bug report here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html |

Question, I have a guest network enabled on my 4th gen time capsule and I also have an airport extreme (4th gen) plus a airport express. I can now see the option to add a guest network on my extreme, but I want to extend the current guest network from the TC as well as extend my main network. If I enter the same credential on the extreme as the current guest network setup on my TC will the software know to extend the network or will it create a 2nd guest network? This seems to be the way the main network is being extended, but before I went fiddling with it I figured I would check here first and hopefully save myself some time. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!
Or is this even possible?

Funny, I once called in AppleCare about an issue with a NAS on my network. This was when the "new" AirPort Utility came out. I still used 5.x, while the dmg will not install, you can drag and drop it from another (older) OS X install and it will run. The tech rep on the phone said she wouldn't use the new one herself, and was glad I had the older version (5.6). I don't know what Apple is thinking since 10.7, but this iOS (and the new AirPort Utility is exactly like the iOS version) of everything OS X is pissing me off.

Press and hold the mouse button to open the menu. From the menu that appears, select a firmware version and click OK. If you select Other, you will be prompted to manually locate the firmware update.

Another *possible* problem w/new firmware?
I just upgraded both my Airport Extreme (latest revision) and Airport Express (latest model too) with this 7.63 firmware and all seemed to be well initially.
A few hours later, my wife tried to kick off a Time Machine backup over the LAN to my FreeNAS box serving as the makeshift Time Machine server (always worked pretty good before), and the backup suddenly halted. I went downstairs to troubleshoot and realized the Airport Express and the Extreme which I had been running in bridged mode, with the Express extending the wi-fi network were not seeing each other. Both still had green lights on the front, but no network traffic was flowing between them at all. I rebooted the extreme by unplugging the AC power, and when it came back up, all was well again. But now i'll have to keep an eye on it for a while to see if this was a one-time glitch, or a problem with the firmware. |

they really need to do some work on the Wifi controls in ML. (not Airport, wifi).
They simply aren't as easy to use as the ones on much cheaper, lower quality PCs. And that is sad. Plus, I have seen quite a lot of beachballing on my users MBPs. Not from Firefox or Safari, but from the dang Wifi preferences panel. Compared to the stock windows wifi control panel, or Lenovo's and HP's wifi applets, it's primitive and annoying. Why does it ask you to type the name in of the network first? (though there is a button to click to go to a list of networks) Why doesnt it display the TYPE of network (ABGN etc)? Why does the drop down for choosing networks freeze so often? |

I wonder if this updates fixes the problems of drop-outs when streaming music over your network?
And I've always kept 5.6 on-hand & prefer to use it over V6. Just absurd how Apple is continuing to dumb-down all of it's app's and utilities. |

One aim of the Horizon Scanning Centre is to support horizon scanning and strategic futures analysis in Government departments and where necessary assist them to raise their capacity for this important activity which is a key element of the Chief Scientific Adviser's guidelines for departmental analytical work. Horizon scanning can also help departments to counter balance the inevitable political focus on short-term issues by providing a longer-term perspective for departmental work.
There is potential for the HSC to establish larger joint projects with departments if they identify issues of general importance to Government or with implications for more than one department - we welcome suggestions of this kind and can bring both expertise and resources to the table as well as a "neutral" position within the Government framework. The HSC has mapped futures work in Government and outside and seeks to identify examples of good practice.

Wireless Flash Transmitter
Ok, I love wireless transmitters, this one works very well with 100% firing capability. I just got this along with 2 new 600ex flash units. Be prepared to read the manuals and do lots of testing, there are lots of options to learn, this system has both wireless triggering and optical triggering. I'll most likely use the wireless feature. I used the system for both a commercial shoot and one...

Cheaper alternative to using a 600ex-rt
Take your expensive speedlite off camera and use it for what it was intended for. Direct flash is not the best way to lite a subject anyway this allows you to get your flash off camera for more dramatic photos with depth. Using a 500 dollar speedlite only

Ratings seem to be a must-have feature in todays' Web 2.0 world. More and more sites are using the ratings feature the most popular site (at least to me) being YouTube. If you are planning to implement a ratings feature on your website there are several steps to follow:
- Decide if the feature makes sense at all
You should not try to create an artificial rating system where it simply does not fit. If you have nothing on your site that would make sense to rate simply do not implement it. - Decide what you wish to have rated and what your primary goals are
Do you have any content provided by users like images, postings or content you provide like your own articles, business listings or something similar? Just write down what types of content you have and what might be rated by your users and especially what you want to achive.
Do you just want to improve the stickyness of your website visitors or is your main goal to identify quality content and/or users? Do you wish to get just more users or improve the loyalty of the existing users or both? - Give users a reason to rate
Always focus on the end user who will ask "What's in it for me?" before using your ratings feature. Just imagine that the user has to invest some time and effort to write a rating. If you only allow registered users to add ratings on your website (which I think you should always do – just like YouTube oes) the incentive or personal gain should be even higher because signing up on your site and providing credentials and maybe even more data is a task most people do not want to take.
You can use physical incentives like some small gifts – merchandise is good if it fits with your brand. However you can of course also use other incentives – even virtual ones like points for ratings, comments and so on that can be exchanged for downloadable products like free software or – if this fits with your brand – desktop wallpapers, ringtones or something similar. - Which rating methods do you wish to use?
There are two main distinctions: a simple one-click star rating and a textual rating. The one-click rating is the easiest one but it can also be used without thinking – just "click and continue" especially if the user gets something in return depending on the number of ratings.The textual rating not only requires much more user interaction, it also leads to much more work for you as well. If the user simply clicks on a star that's all. He's done. A textual rating requires much more effort and may also be used to abuse your ratings system. A textual comment may contain SPAM but it may also contain abusive language and negative comments from someone who wants to damage a competitor's reputation.
This is a very complex topic and I will therefore not cover it here because I could write a full article about that as well. Just keep this in mind as this might lead to negative publicity if you do not carefully screen the texts submitted by users. - Toplists
If a user gets no perceived personal gain from using your ratings feature the stickyness is not likely to improve. By implementing something like a toplist which shows the users that have rated something on your websites ordered by the number and/or quality of ratings they might use your ratings feature more often.
In the best case – I will talk about that later in this article – everyone will benefit from the ratings feature.
Many people like to tell others that they are the "top rated user" on a website or at least something like a "top 10″ user just because of the perceived personal gain – or even admiration – not because they are getting something physical in return.
You should not underestimate this human trait. So I definetly think you should integrate something like a toplist on your website. Implementing this however may yield more useless ratings because there are many people out there that would just like to get a top position without much work so be prepared to handle ratings like "I can highly recommend this [whatever]" over and over again. If you are just using star-type ratings this may or may not be a problem depending on what the user can rate. You can actually rate the perceived quality of an image quite well within a few seconds but you obviously cannot rate a 1000-word article within 5 seconds. This is a very tricky situation. - Don't fake ratings
You should never fake ratings or have other people write ratings for you that are getting paid to do it. Most users will be able to spot this easily just like I did on a German business directory. - Don't syndicate ratings
Although syndicating ratings from other vendors might give the impression that you have lots of good content most users are likely to find out soon that you are not providing unique content especially if you have many competitors. From an SEO standpoint you should not do that as well because duplicate content is something you should always try to avoid.
What I learned
On one of my websites (a German website for models and those who wish to become models) I have implemented a ratings feature about two years ago. Although I have not implemented a textual ratings or comments feature yet a simple 5-star rating allows every registered user to rate a model profile. And that's actually the complete visible ratings feature I implemented. I also implemented a list of profiles the user has not rated yet to encourage the users to rate other profiles.
However there is also a hidden ranking feature called "SilverIndex" which ranks the model profiles with the profile with the most "index points" coming first and all the others after that ordered according to their points value. This simple integer value is calculated once per day by these parameters (and several more I cannot write down here because of possible manipulation of the ranking):
- Total number of photos in the profile
- Types of photos (body, face, hands etc.) – photo types (hand photos for example) that are very scarce lead to a higher number of points
- Age of the photos (you always want to have current photos)
- Original size of the photos (small photos are not professional)
- Last login date (post-and-leave is not encouraged)
- Age of the profile (fresh profiles get more points for a few days to push new models)
- Number of new users referred (need to have a visible profile as well)
To encourage users to rate other profiles the number of ratings of other profiles also counts against the points value so the more profiles have been rated the more points the user will get and thus get a higher position in the main model list. In fact the complete list of models is ordered by the SilverIndex so to get as many visits to a profile as possible from potential clients a user actually has to be and remain active on the site.
This leads to a situation that is good for everyone: many professional and current photos of the different types are good for potential clients and also show the motivation of the user for becoming a model (or getting to participate in a shooting). So if there is a way for you to rank whatever you are making available for rating by these kinds of features you should really do that.
If you allow your users to rate for example businesses obviously businesses that get many ratings tend to have many customers so you may want to give them a higher ranking on your site.
If you offer a verification process like some websites do you should also give more trust to a user (and thus more points) if the user account has been verified. You could even charge a small handling fee for verification if you are sending a letter to the postal address given by the user to verify it.
So if there is an incentive for your users to rate contents you provide you should clearly focus on that and make it especially clear for your users so they immediately know what to do next to achive a certain goal.
The ranking algorithm I have implemented automatically optimizes the model list because it both encourages ratings and it also encourages providing good content.

Redskins won't join NFLPA in suing NFL over salary cap penalties

11:29 AM ET 03.10 | The NFL Players Association is willing to take joint legal action with the Washington Redskins against the league aimed at retrieving some of the salary cap space that the team lost last year when it was penalized by the NFL, two people familiar with the situation said Saturday. But the union and the Redskins have not discussed such an effort, the two people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic. According to one of those people, the Redskins are not interested in such joint legal action because they do not support the union's allegation that the league and teams improperly colluded to restrict players' salaries in the sport's season without a salary cap in 2010. Legal action by the Redskins over their salary cap reduction, without the union, remains a possibility, that person said, without indicating whether Tuesday's opening of the NFL free agent market is a deadline for the team to take such a step. But it's not clear what the team will do. The new developments in the salary cap case come amid indications that the hopes of Redskins officials of recouping any of their lost cap space have dimmed in recent days.
Yeah, good luck with that, NFLPA. You're favorite Judge/Arbitrator, David Doty, dismissed the charges already, because the new CBA had a clause that prevents any lawsuits from happening over ANYTHING that happened before the new CBA was signed.
So NFLPA - you settled, your membership voted it in, and now you're stuck with it.
The Redskins aren't willing to throw good money after bad. Good decision. Football folks, think football.

Roger McCain's Game Theory: A Nontechnical Introduction to the Analysis of Strategy
(Revised Edition) is available in Asia now and will be available in
USA, UK, Europe and the rest of the World in October. Should you
require the title for fall term, special arrangements can be made so
please do contact Ms Hooi-Yean Lee (firstname.lastname@example.com).
If you are considering to use this title after fall and would like to
receive an inspection copy, please send your request via World Scientific Publishing Company's website. You may also visit http://www.worldscibooks.com/economics/7517.html for sample chapters. Meanwhile, at a more advanced level, give some thought to McCain's Game Theory and Public Policy, Elgar, 2010. Part 1, "A Historical and Critical Survey," assesses the literature of game theory particularly from the point of view of the pragmatic purposes of public policy, while Part 2 presents some proposals and research toward a game-theoretic foundation for political economy. |
The maximin strategy is a "rational" solution to all two-person zero come games. However, it is not a solution for nonconstant sum games. The difficulty is that there are a number of different solution concepts for nonconstant sum games, and no one is clearly the "right" answer in every case. The different solution concepts may overlap, though. We have already seen one possible solution concept for nonconstant sum games: the dominant strategy equilibrium. Let's take another look at the example of the two mineral water companies. Their payoff table was:
Table 4-2 (Repeated)
Perrier |
Price=$1 |
Price=$2 |
Apollinaris |
Price=$1 |
0,0 |
5000, -5000 |
Price=$2 |
-5000, 5000 |
0,0 |
We saw that the maximin solution was for each company to cut price to $1. That is also a dominant strategy equilibrium. It's easy to check that: Apollinaris can reason that either Perrier cuts to $1 or not. If they do, Apollinaris is better off cutting to 1 to avoid a loss of $5000. But if Perrier doesn't cut, Apollinaris can earn a profit of 5000 by cutting. And Perrier can reason in the same way, so cutting is a dominant strategy for each competitor.
But this is, of course, a very simplified -- even unrealistic -- conception of price competition. Let's look at a more complicated, perhaps more realistic pricing example:
Following a long tradition in economics, we will think of two companies selling "widgets" at a price of one, two, or three dollars per widget. the payoffs are profits -- after allowing for costs of all kinds -- and are shown in Table 5-1. The general idea behind the example is that the company that charges a lower price will get more customers and thus, within limits, more profits than the high-price competitor. (This example follows one by Warren Nutter).
Table 5-1
Acme Widgets |
p=1 |
p=2 |
p=3 |
Widgeon Widgets |
p=1 |
0,0 |
50, -10 |
40,-20 |
p=2 |
-10,50 |
20,20 |
90,10 |
p=3 |
-20, 40 |
10,90 |
50,50 |
We can see that this is not a zero-sum game. Profits may add up to 100, 20, 40, or zero, depending on the strategies that the two competitors choose. Thus, the maximin solution does not apply. We can also see fairly easily that there is no dominant strategy equilibrium. Widgeon company can reason as follows: if Acme were to choose a price of 3, then Widgeon's best price is 2, but otherwise Widgeon's best price is 1 -- neither is dominant.
We will need another, broader concept of equilibrium if we are to do anything with this game. The concept we need is called the Nash Equilibrium, after Nobel Laureate (in economics) and mathematician John Nash. Nash, a student of Tucker's, contributed several key concepts to game theory around 1950. The Nash Equilibrium conception was one of these, and is probably the most widely used "solution concept" in game theory.
DEFINITION: Nash Equilibrium If there is a set of strategies with the property that no player can benefit by changing her strategy while the other players keep their strategies unchanged, then that set of strategies and the corresponding payoffs constitute the Nash Equilibrium.
Let's apply that definition to the widget-selling game. First, for example, we can see that the strategy pair p=3 for each player (bottom right) is not a Nash-equilibrium. From that pair, each competitor can benefit by cutting price, if the other player keeps her strategy unchanged. Or consider the bottom middle -- Widgeon charges $3 but Acme charges $2. From that pair, Widgeon benefits by cutting to $1. In this way, we can eliminate any strategy pair except the upper left, at which both competitors charge $1.
We see that the Nash equilibrium in the widget-selling game is a low-price, zero-profit equilibrium. Many economists believe that result is descriptive of real, highly competitive markets -- although there is, of course, a great deal about this example that is still "unrealistic."
Let's go back and take a look at that dominant-strategy equilibrium in Table 4-2. We will see that it, too, is a Nash-Equilibrium. (Check it out). Also, look again at the dominant-strategy equilibrium in the Prisoners' Dilemma. It, too, is a Nash-Equilibrium. In fact, any dominant strategy equilibrium is also a Nash Equilibrium. The Nash equilibrium is an extension of the concepts of dominant strategy equilibrium and of the maximin solution for zero-sum games.
It would be nice to say that that answers all our questions. But, of course, it does not. Here is just the first of the questions it does not answer: could there be more than one Nash-Equilibrium in the same game? And what if there were more than one?

Butler County steelmaker AK Steel Holding Corp. projected Thursday it would have a third quarter loss due to lower sales and the continued impact of a shutdown at the company's largest blast furnace this summer.
AK Steel is expecting a loss between 22 and 27 cents per share of common stock for the third quarter ending this month. Actual earnings will be released in October.
The steelmaker is Middletown's largest employer and Butler County's third largest overall employer.
In the prior April to June quarter, the steel manufacturer recorded a net loss of $40.4 million, or 30 cents per share. A third quarter loss would be the company's ninth consecutive quarterly loss, with the last quarterly profit reported for the second quarter of 2011 of $33.1 million.
AK Steel in the January through March quarter this year had a net loss of $9.9 million or 7 cents per share.
On Thursday, AK Steel said sales are down this period. AK Steel is expecting to move shipments of approximately 1,240,000 to 1,260,000 tons of steel this quarter compared to shipments of 1,323,700 tons in the previous quarter, a decrease of approximately 5 percent to 6 percent.
One reason sales are down is a seasonal reduction in shipments to the automotive market, company officials said.
Another reason is in June, the blast furnace at steel plant Middletown Works was shut down for repairs after a mechanical failure. The blast furnace — the part of the mill where fuel, iron ore and limestone are heated and reduced to make hot metal — was taken offline and restarted mid-July, union leaders said. During that time, Middletown was not producing new steel.
Original estimates were uninsured losses from the unplanned outage would be $10 million to $27.5 million and that it would affect second and third quarter financial results. The cost from the unplanned outage was $6.2 million last quarter, AK Steel reported. The cost in the third quarter should be an additional $12 million after insurance. The company is also saying the effect of the outage will last into the fourth quarter.
Selling prices are higher this quarter than the previous one, but that's been offset by lower raw material surcharges and delayed shipments to customers as a result of the Middletown outage, AK Steel said.
"The company's melt production during the quarter has been reduced, resulting in a delay of shipments to some carbon spot market customers and an overall reduction in shipments during the quarter," read the company's statement.
Spokesman Mike Wallner declined to comment more than what was stated in Thursday's release.
Shares of AK Steel's stock closed at $4.09 Friday, down 8 percent from Thursday's closing share price of $4.44.

1. Come to your hands and knees, your wrists aligned with your shoulders and your
knees aligned with your hips.
2. On an inhalation, gently arch your back, lifting your chin slightly and opening your
chest, while pointing your tailbone toward the sky. Keep the back of your neck long. (continued on next page)

MRM Cordyceps CS-4 Strain -- 60 Vegetarian Capsules

Best Cordyceps
Great product. Seems to work well. This is the best Cordyceps for the money that I have found.

Athletic performance and stress
This product is one of the main ingredients in a very expensive sports supplement. Much cheaper to buy separately. This fits the bill, and works.

Best Value/Potency/Quality Cordyceps
If you are looking for the benefits of cordyceps, this product contains all the right stuff. It is the coveted CS-4 strain and it is vegetarian (a bonus). For this quality and potency, the price cannot be beat. It's a great value. I haven't noticed any particular effects from taking this supplement, as I take many, but I feel that it's a valuable part of my daily supplement regime.
October 1, 2011
Great Product, Great Value!
This is one of the most affordable and effective CS-4 products out there. They also use organic mushrooms, which was important to me. I have no problem taking this supplement. Highly recommended!

Pro: Never Need a Pen Again
It's like they come with a kit! Every artist is permanently equipped with writing instruments at all times.
Con: Unforgivably Vicious Emotional Damage
Artists are unforgiving bastards and will viciously tear your heart out. Breakups usually include personal possessions being hurled into the street, personal possessions being set on fire in the street, and personal possessions being defecated on, on fire, in the street. Also, let's not forget the public displays of "fuck you" in the form of song, beat poem, blog post, etc. depending on the artist's medium.
Pro: Never Need Help With Your Computer Again
Because of the exploratory nature of most artists, they generally know their way around a Macbook.
Con: You Will Be Murdered In Your Own Home
Because of their unyielding fascination and romanticization of death, you will probably be the vessel through which they live out their sick homicidal fantasies. You'll be holding hands as you walk through a quiet park in the summer twilight and they will look at you and whisper something like, "I've never felt this way before."
This may seem like a beautiful sentiment but what they really mean is that they have never before felt this hunger – this insatiable lust – for murder. [Keep Reading]

Fourth row is where I was in 2010 in Miami when I did the ILAA thing, so it's not so bad and this time I at least knew where my seat was before I bought. But the 2010 ILAA thing was about three seconds with the band, as many of you already know. If I paid twice as much this time and get the same thing (three seconds) in San Diego they are going to have one pissed-off redneck on their hands.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. --
Police charged a Charleston man with involuntary manslaughter Wednesday after he fought with a man who later died in the hospital.
On Monday, David Booker, 24, of Charleston, got into a fight with Omar Lorenzo Thompson, 27, of Beckley, at 682 South Park Road, according to a criminal complaint on file in Kanawha Magistrate Court.
According to the complaint, Thompson had gotten into a fight with a younger relative of Booker's earlier, and Booker punched Thompson once in the back of the head.
Thompson then fell down and hit his head on a corner of concrete sidewalk, the complaint said. Thompson was taken to CAMC General Hospital, where he died at about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Kanawha County prosecutors don't think Booker meant the punch to be fatal.
"To be a murder, I have to prove [Booker] intended to kill him with that punch," Kanawha County prosecutor Mark Plants said. "There's no evidence at all that he intended to kill this person."
The involuntary manslaughter charge Booker faces is a misdemeanor. He was in the South Central Regional Jail on Wednesday on $10,000 bond.

About This Data
ProPublica obtained prescribing data from Medicare's prescription drug benefit, known as Part D, under the Freedom of Information Act. The data for 2011 includes nearly 1.2 billion prescriptions written by 1.6 million doctors, nurses and other providers. This database lists about 364,000 of those providers who wrote 50 or more prescriptions for at least one drug that year. About three-fourths went to patients 65 and older; the rest were for disabled patients. Methodology »
- No comparisons are shown if 10 or fewer prescribers in the state share this specialty.
- The list of top drugs includes only those for which this provider wrote 50 or more prescriptions, but all prescriptions are counted in the summary totals at the top.
- The calculation of "Risky Drugs to Seniors" does not include drugs for which a provider wrote 11 or fewer prescriptions because Medicare redacted the information to protect patient privacy.
- Comparisons do not take into account the medical conditions of patients. Medications for certain conditions do not have generic alternatives, so patients would receive more expensive brand name drugs.
- This provider's address and specialty information was last updated on Jan. 29, 2013.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- When 10-year-old Vanlyah Scott grows up she wants to be a police officer or run her own nail salon. When the Junior Achievement program visited her Dunbar Intermediate Center Tuesday, she picked up a few tips to help get there.
"We played some games and learned more about mathematics, science and engineering and different technology in business," Scott said. "We did a lot of fun activities."
Twenty Huntington Bank employees volunteered during Tuesday's event. The goal was to have students in third- and fifth-grade think about saving money and how business functions on a very basic level. It was the bank's second year participating in the program.
Scott and her fifth-grade classmates took a hands-on approach to understanding the global economy. After Huntington Bank volunteers Kevin McGill and Barry Dobson presented the class with the business idea of an environmentally friendly car company, the class needed to figure out how to manufacture their product.
Each student received a card with items like steel or fabric needed to assemble the finished product. The items came from all over the globe. As each material was needed in assembly, students raised their hand to signal that they had it. When students had an item, a string would be passed to them connecting them to classmates with other items needed for manufacturing.
Before long, the white string zigzagged throughout all corners of the classroom, and McGill said, "Guys, this is what is called a global economy. Every business is in a global economy."
Dunbar Intermediate Principal Sharon Brooks said Tuesday's program was a unique learning opportunity for students.
"They were bringing it to real life. ... So it's really giving them the real world in the classroom," she said.
This is the first year the program has been taken to Dunbar. Brooks said it started with Huntington Bank helping to write a grant that enabled the school to provide backpacks to students at the beginning of the year.
After, they talked about the Junior Achievement program. Bankers worked with third-graders on responsible savings and spending, while fifth graders focused on business management and opportunities.

I had something similar to this in a very good Italian restaurant in New York. It is a simple pleasure, perfect with a little sea salt and a rich musky dollop of olive oil.
Yield :
Serves 2
- 1 cup of baby asparagus tips
- 1 cup of cooked fresh or frozen baby Fava (broad) beans, skins removed (If fresh, they will need to be blanched to remove the skins. You can also use the same amount of drained and rinsed canned beans.)
- A small handful of fresh mint, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons of good-quality olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- ½ cup of pecorino cheese, shaved
Put the asparagus in a pan of boiling salted water and boil for 2-3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Place the beans and asparagus tips in a small salad bowl and add the mint. Pour on the olive oil and add some salt and pepper. Add the cheese. Eat in a balmy garden with a few fat blowsy bumblebees nearby, but not close enough to harass you.
