Great theme, any way the products on the homepage can have 'alternate image on hover' ? You have this on the category pages, but not on the homepage
I do not added this becouse it is additionak Kb of data to load(more images) and the first load of page(hompage) should fast so i decided to not adding this
Hi there,
Absolutely love your theme and have bought it for a store I'm building.
My customer doesn't want any scrolling on the homepage (in full screen mode) and wants to have the Manufacturers area vertically to the right of the store. Please see http://www.stanceworks.com/ as an example of the verticle manufacturer bar. Do you have any code to move the module? This would only be on full screen mode I guess, not in the mobile screens.
Do you have any code to set the full screen view to all be on the screen at once without a scroll bar?
Thanks again,
It is only posible after custom modifications
Also, would it be possible to change the max width to 940px for the entire site or would this be a problem with certain elements within the site?
Theme is responsive and have different views for different devices with different resolution, it is not possible to change width brakedowns
i understand, but when viewing the website normally on desktop, the width is 1200+ and i would like to have it default to 940px
Also, which framework was used for the responsiveness?
hi, you can disable big resulution view in theme editor, and then you will have 980px on big desktopts. There is no need to use framework, Reponsivenes is just using media queries in my theme
thx for such quick reply!

Hi everybody…
I got a question, recently we started to configure our shop with different discount types, but we realize that at the "cart summary" view, customers don't see a discount column or field.
I know that they can see the discounts aplied when they have the receipt on PDF. But it would be very interesting that the summary cart view also shows the discounts aplied to don't create any confusion.
Could you tell me if that is a theme question or a prestashop question?
Thanks in advance!
Please conact on e-mail
I got the MagicZoomPlus issue fixed, the people there tweaked my module so it works fine now with "Warehouse" (How come I cannot comment directly in response to my previous post btw ?!)
Please contact on e-mail, I'm intrested what caused a problem
They did not give me the specifics.. Maybe you can contact them.. will send you the email of the guy in a PM.

I've try again and almost done.
Great theme ! Really great support, fast, open to suggestion, personal, 5 stars for sure !
Thanks Marcin and keep on going !
Hello, In what file can I see the version of the theme?
When you downloaded theme?
15 Dec 12
it is 1.5
What about logo size? Is there any specific/optimal size? And is "Mobile Header logo" in use for this theme? If that's the case, what size is it?
There is used normal logo, becouse theme is responsive not special mobile theme. For best effect height of logo should not be bigger than 60px
I can not delete discontinuous lines separating in submenu (or make them invisible). Can you help me? thank you
Yes contact on e-mail
Thank you for your answer. Very good theme.

This was the first time I booked a last minute, guarantee, just really needed a cruise. Going out of NY was so easy, we live in PA, hoped on a bus then a taxi ride, easy and relaxing. This was my first Platimum cruise so it was very easy checkin, didn't wait long. Had lunch in the Grand Pacific, it was very enjoyable.
Our room was ready as we finished, and it was a nice inside. I have been in every kind of cabin from inside to suites so I knew what to expect. We had no problem finding space for all our things and it was easy location to get out and enjoy the activities. Dinner was in Magenta, and good but we decided GP was more our style. We enjoyed the variety show and look forward to a week of amazing entertainment.
The next day started with our meet and greet, we met some of the staff, they welcomed us, and then a little getting to know the other CC members. After lunch was the latitude party and I continued to hold our hope that I would win a prize, darn empty hands again. We choose to dress up for dress up night and got some fantastic pictures taken that night. Our sea days were filled with many activities, mixed with relax time at our favorite spot the outdoor cafe, so nice outside. I will write about our ports separately in the ports section, but the HIGHLIGHT of our cruise was the amazing SAMANA, wow, the BEST experience of my life. We utilized our time on the ship enjoying amazing meals, learning about art and juggling, swimming in the great pool, walking on deck and getting to know some amazing staffs. You can not talk about a cruise without mentioning the fantastic hard working staff. Our cabin steward Joel was excellent at his job, our room was always ship shape, well stocked, he always greeted us by name and made the best towel animals!!! I was very happy to meet a young girl I had met last cruise on the Gem, Melva Y. from Peru, she is a special lady, with a smile and personality that really shines. She helped my mom who partially blind last time in the buffet and I never got chance to thank her. Now I did and she was so humble and thankful to be noticed. The ship has amazing Staff in Charge, Jenny the Hotel director keeps the crew working together seamlessly. Every dept worked well together because of the family feeling on the ship.
The shows were all amazing, the production numbers were amazing. We had the chance to experience everything from production numbers to juggling, comedy, ariel show, dancing from tap to disco, and singing through the ages, even Opera. Truly the entertainment was top notch and something for everyone. The entertainment continued through the night with dancing in Spinachers to game shows. And let us not forget you have many chances to try to win from Bingo to a full Casino, and of course the pull tabs. As with the latitude party I did not win,,,,anything.
Food was excellent, I never had trouble finding something I liked, and the Salmon was amazing. My favorite dessert was only served one night a lemon ginger custard, I could eat them every night. My favorite meal was at Le Bistro, I love dressing up, going out on a date on the ship and it is such an intimate experience there. I love the Lobster scallops and shrimp dinner. We shared the chocolate dipped fruit dessert. It was a lovely night. We were dressed up from what used to be the Captains Cocktail party. Maybe the only disappointment, I used to love the party, most everyone dressed up and it was sometimes in surprise places like an empty villa. But now it is just a silver, gold and platiumum get together, very informal, very casual, they do serve wine and cheese, you see the staff for a short time. The old day of glamour is over for that party. I do miss the Captains cocktail party
The weather was great except one night I always seem to bring the sunshine for the trips, so the rain didn't ruin any of the cruise. I would say it was another fantastic cruise with NCL.

All this time in an NHL Training Camp was weird for Michael Leighton. It's like being in space without gravity. Now, he's touched back down on solid ground. Famililar territory. His comfort zone. The waiver wire.
Leighton was waived (again) today by the Philadelphia Flyers, and if he clears the process he's been through about 600 times at this point in his career, he'll be assigned to the Adirondack Phantoms, where another goalie nightmare awaits him.
Down (or perhaps up is the proper direction) in Glens Falls, the Phantoms have Jason Bacashihua, Johan Backlund, Brad Phillips and likely now Leighton battling for two spots in their crease. Losing one of those guys would make things a lot easier, but I guess it's a good problem to have. Organizational depth at a position, even if that depth is AHL-quality, isn't really a bad thing.
And besides, Leighton is absolutely adored by the fans in Glens Falls. He really is a great AHL level goaltender, and it showed last season in the Phantoms' second-half turnaround with him in net. He's a big piece of that team and their success kind of relies on him in a big way. We want the young guys with AHL potential there to play in a winning enviroment, and Leighton's presence in goal goes a long way toward that.
We'll find out at 12 p.m. Friday if he clears or not.

HoopsHype Chris Douglas-Roberts rumors
One strong free agent possibility is 27-year-old shooting guard Chris Douglas Roberts, though he can't sign until the aforementioned moves are made. Roberts averaged 6.9 points and 20.7 minutes for the Charlotte Hornets last season in 49 games. USA Today Sports
The Heat is serious about adding another shooting guard and a big man if it can find two good ones willing to take the veteran's minimum. After recently working out Jordan Hamilton (who signed with Toronto) and Chris Douglas-Roberts, the Heat also has inquired about Leandro Barbosa and Jordan Crawford, who both hold appeal to Miami. Miami Herald
What are some of the things you wish you knew when you came into the league and what is the best advice you've been given? Chris Douglas-Roberts: If I could do all this shit over the same exact way, I would. My journey has made me the person I am today and I'm happy with who I've become. Every obstacle, I've learned valuable life lessons that I incorporate in my life every day. Even in my darkest times there was a lesson. I've mastered my mind where I have no bad days. I don't have negative thoughts. If there is a moment where things aren't going as planned, I find the positive in there and focus on that. If things went more smooth for me, I probably wouldn't have that mentality. My journey has also given me the mentality that the weak must die. Its not fair, but that's what it takes to be be successful in professional sports. This is a war. You have to strategize and conquer to reach your goals. The reason I'm back where I am is because I learned strategy and I learned the weak must die in this. All learned from my journey and mistakes. You have to always find a way. My strategy was to dominate D-League (kill the weaker competition) (no disrespect) and eliminate all the possible liabilities. The main one I wanted to eliminate was that I could only score when dominating the ball. So Raft (my trainer) and I set a goal. Which was to shoot 40% from three and be top-20 in the league in three-point shooting. And I did it! That's just one of many. All strategy. Triangle Offense
Chris Douglas-Roberts: I've gotten so much advice in this journey. Two that stand out are from my homie [music producer] Chase N. Cashe and my other homie Bean [Kobe Bryant]. One night Chase and I were talking when I was with the Knicks. Things were looking shaky I could see what was coming and I just couldn't figure out what to do to break through. I knew I had game and so much to offer, but I couldn't get over this damn hump. So him and I are talking in Harlem and somewhere in the conversation he just told me "figure it out." Nothing more, nothing less. Just "figure it out." It seems like something simple but its life. You have to figure this shit out. Nobody cares about your problems. Figure it out or be another statistic or pity story. Well, thats how I took it. After that, I put it all on me. Fired the agent I had at the time and put my future in my hands. I said if I don't make it it's on me and nobody else. And I figured it out. Bean basically told me something similar. He told me to go be special. He told me that the only person that is stopping me is me. He told me that I don't give myself enough credit and once I do I'll break through. Whoever you have to kill to get to where you're going just kill them. It's not personal. Bean respects my game so he really wants to see me do well. He's a basketball fan before anything. Triangle Offense
How would you sum up the CDR movement to someone who might not have encountered it yet? Chris Douglas-Roberts: Rockstar life, Holly. I was saying this when I didn't have a clue what the hell my future held. You have to know you're a Rockstar when only 8 people are coming to your shows and you're dressing room is storage room where they keep the mop bucket. It's all about how you carry yourself and your attitude during adversity. Like I said, I feel I have a responsibility. I represent the progress for a lot of people out here. A lot of high school kids in Charlotte call me Dad when they see me. But seriously, I'm like the underground artist with the cult following selling out shows in smaller venues. I'm independent right now, but I'm doing good enough where I'm not really trying to sign a deal with a major label. Triangle Offense
The following players cannot be dealt at all this season: Alexis Ajinca — New Orleans Pelicans; D.J. Augustin — Chicago Bulls; Andrew Bogut — Golden State Warriors; Kobe Bryant — Los Angeles Lakers; Seth Curry — Memphis Grizzlies; Chris Douglas-Roberts — Charlotte Bobcats; Stephen Jackson — Los Angeles Clippers; James Johnson — Memphis Grizzlies; Kendall Marshall — Los Angeles Lakers; Malcolm Thomas — San Antonio Spurs. HoopsWorld
Charlotte Bobcats forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist invited an old friend to his home Tuesday for dinner and a chat. The friend – a mentor, really – offered lots of advice, which Kidd-Gilchrist summed up this way: "He told me to 'man up,'" Kidd-Gilchrist recalled. The old friend is also a new teammate – Chris Douglas-Roberts. Charlotte Observer
Douglas-Roberts was fine with that because he wanted one more chance, the one the Bobcats offered Tuesday. "Nothing bothers me," Douglas-Roberts said. "I'm just here to play basketball." That's the message he delivered Tuesday night to Kidd-Gilchrist, the protégé he calls "little cousin." "I told him you have to embrace all the pressure (of being the No. 2 overall pick). Never shy away from it," Douglas-Roberts said. "You want people criticizing you. You want the media talking about you, positively or negatively." Charlotte Observer
"It's the NBA, he knows it. When he's in there, we'll be careful what we run, but he needs to be ready by Friday (against the Indiana Pacers). That's a big part of why he's here. I was around him for a month (as an assistant with the Los Angeles Lakers). He picks things up quickly. I trust him as a competitor. I told him, 'The reason you're here is because you may be needed, so we need you ready'," Steve Clifford said. Charlotte Observer
Charlotte Bobcats President of Basketball Operations Rod Higgins announced today that the team has signed free agent guard/forward Chris Douglas-Roberts and waived forward James Southerland. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. Douglas-Roberts, who was playing with the NBA D-League Texas Legends, becomes the fifth D-League Gatorade Call-Up of the 2013-14 season. NBA.com
Rick Bonnell: I can confirm Bobcats are working toward signing D-Leaguer Chris Douglas-Roberts. @Marc Stein first reported connection. Twitter @rick_bonnell
It's unclear how long Ledo will be with the Legends. The Mavericks' roster is log-jammed at the shooting guard and small forward positions, and because Ledo is such a young, raw talent, playing time of any kind is the most important thing for his development. One of those players is Douglas-Roberts, who said he'll try to help Ledo's development. "I don't know how long he's gonna be down here, but I definitely plan on staying in his ear a little bit, kind of showing him the ropes," he said. NBA.com
In addition to coming up with some of the biggest plays of the game, Ledo made an immediate impression on Chris Douglas-Roberts, the team's leading scorer. "I was a fan of Ricky before he came down here," Douglas-Roberts said. "He's very young. His ceiling is unlimited. I can already see he's very good offensively. He's definitely a pro. He belongs in the league." NBA.com
"Being a professional, there's always going to be something, no matter what profession you're in," he said. "There's always going to be other things going on, a possible controversy in the work place. That's just a part of it. You have to just focus on you – get better every day, being positive every day." As one of the more accomplished players in the D-League, it seems likely that Douglas-Roberts will get another call to play in the NBA. If he continues to approach a 50/40/90 line, that call might come sooner than later. Douglas-Roberts just wants that chance. Many players in recent years have stood out in the D-League before making an impact on an NBA roster. James Anderson, for example, played with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers last season and is now starting for the Philadelphia 76ers. NBA.com
There seems to be no consensus among writers when it comes to characterizing Douglas-Roberts' game. He's a scorer, he's a jack-of-all-trades guy, he's good at many things but not great at enough, he's inefficient. When he played in Las Vegas with the Lakers' summer league squad, Douglas-Roberts said he heard the criticism, and tried to demonstrate what else he can do besides score. He averaged 8.6 points and a shade under 2 assists per game. "Everybody was expecting me to go and average 25," he said. "I go back to being positive and remaining focused … I went down there and I was hearing all this stuff like 'he's just a scorer, he's not scoring.'" NBA.com
Chris Douglas-Roberts: A lot of ppl wondered why Bean spoke so highly of me last yr. First day of camp Mike Brown tried to throw me in the fire right away. Made me & Bean 1 on 1 partners for the whole first practice. What Mike Brown didn't know is that's what I was waiting for. That whole day we went head up. At one point it damn near came to blows bc Bean will do anything for an edge. So he was elbowing me on the low for separation & I couldn't let that go as a competitor. As a man. The refs were too scared to call the foul bc he was intimidating them all practice. But at then end it was all love. The respect is mutual. Gave me some pointers that are priceless. It's a misconception on Bean. Ppl think he's a sucker...hard to play with. It's just that he expects the most of his teammates bc he works so hard. Easily realist hooper I've met. He never lies and I respect that. #ClosestThingtoJordan #HeNeverSleepsEither #ImOutSeguir Instagram

Is that really enough? I'm thinking that we should cut it down to 8-10 scrubs.....or maybe less.
This is a good point.
My initial thinking was that I didn't want people to just end up with the final 53 other than their draft picks, so I wanted to go lower. I thought maybe we could ramp the number up each year as the teams start to diverge from each other.
Should we start at 40?
And I guess maybe it doesn't make a lot of difference now that I think about it, because since we're all picking from a pretty similar pool (other than draft picks), most of us would have the same scrubs anyway.
What do others think?
In the final seven games of the 2013 season, the Chiefs averaged 34.6 points per game, scored 38 points or more 4 times, and went 2-5. The NFL has ruined the sport.

Small-Group Italian Cooking Class in Florence
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Small-Group Italian Cooking Class in Florence. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
My 12 year old daughter, my husband, and I LOVED this class. Andrea is knowlegable, friendly, funny, a great teacher, and has wonderful Italian charm!! This class was everything I was hoping for!! One of our trip highlights. Our daughter and friend just made just made the raviolis at home yesterday. Yum!!
unforgettable experience...the spaghetti is very delicious
This is such a fun activity to do while you are in Florence. Chef Andrea is very informative and funny. He makes the class very enjoyable. You get to go to the market to sample different cheeses, olive oils, spreads and balsamic vinegars. Then you go to the Kitchen where you learn how to make tiramisu, ravioli, noodles, and different sauces for the pasta. The best part is eating afterwards! The food is delicious. You get to take home a recipe book and you earn a cooking certificate! This is definitely a must-do! Chef Andrea gives you a lot of tips about cooking so make sure you take a note pad to jot everything down!
The class was fantastic!!! I learned so much and the chief was knowledgeable and patient. Would love to do it again.
I must say, the cooking class was the highlight of our trip to Florence! A wonderful mix of a market tour and food preparation. The chefs and staff were patient, fun and very educational. A great time for the entire family. I will most certainly take the class again on any future trips to Florence. Ciao!!
Mark Streater
Wonderful day, both hosts were fantastic and everyone seemed relaxed and enjoying it as much as we did. Great memories, great value!!!
So much fun! Something out of the norm to do while you're in Florence. The group was a little large but there were enough chefs to go around and help. The food was AMAZING, LOVED the tour of the market and the olive oil/balsamic tasting...very cool! Must do when in Florence.
Our teacher was very good I loved the market but it was too long standing and people going infront of us that were not in the group it should be more private but other than that it was great
This class was a lot of fun. We learned a lot both at the market and while cooking.
Wonderful day had a really good experience at the market and then an excellent lesson at the cooking school. Florence was in the grip of a heatwave but conditions were lovely air-conditioning and marble counter tops. kneading dough was very soothing. Food we cooked turned out extremely well and we had a feast afterwards washed down with some good wine. Something I would really recommend to do in Florence.
A must do fantastic class! Truly one of the highlights of our trip. So very glad I booked this class. Came back and tried the recipes and it was a great success.
Thank you Giovanni.
The Market was great - learned so much about olive oil and balsamic vinegar! Cooking class was wonderful and delicious. Giovanni has a great sense of humor and it was an excellent adventure.
Karen R
This was so much fun we still talk about it to friends. My husband wasn't thrilled when I signed us up, but is a true convert. We will probably argue over who will wear the apron!
A must do! That was the best part of our trip. Fantastic experience and not to mention the best food I had in Italy. Highly recommended.
To make it brief: if you have interest in learning how to make pasta by hand TAKE THIS TOUR.
I cannot imagine why they don't charge more for this tour. It starts out at 10am at the meeting place where you go to the central market where Giovanni, our host, was amazingly instructive regarding many of the aspects of Florentine cooking which may go unknown to the average consumer. We got to taste cheeses, breads, olive oils, and expensive balsamic vinegars from Modena. The best part is that the "hard sell" is virtually non-existent. Of course people picked up a few things at the market, but on the whole, the people who assisted us were amazingly friendly and welcoming.
The cooking class itself was fantastic. Nothing extravagantly difficult to do (and you do work together as a team on many occasions) and the meal that is produced was one of the better ones I had in Florence and is quite reproducible at home. At the end of the class you get your little certificate for completing it as well as the recipes themselves.
By the time we finished our extravagant family-style meal, it was around 4pm. Given the time, ingredients, instructions, tastings, wine and great company, this tour is a STEAL. Do not hesitate to do this if you have interest in the recipes and techniques it teaches.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - An international drug bust has local ties. State and Federal officials say they arrested 81 people on Wednesday just in the State of Texas.
Nationwide it was 1,100 people. One of those arrested in Texas is from Wolfforth.
As of Thursday afternoon, DPS could not tell us the name, address or other details of the local arrest. Officials as high up as the U.S. Attorney General are speaking out about the issue.
Eric Holder, the U.S. Attorney General says, "We have seized more than 32 million dollars in United States currency, more than 2,700 pounds of methamphetamine, nearly 2 thousand kilograms of cocaine, approximately 16 thousand pounds of marijuana and 29 pounds of heroin during the 44 month project."
Multiple agencies participated in "Project Coronado," an investigation targeting the La Familia Michoacana drug cartel.
Federal officials describe the La Familia cartel as the most violent drug trafficking cartel based in Southwestern New Mexico.

Name of Instrument:
Wind, flutophones are made of plastic.
How to Play:
Flutophones have a hole at the bottom; the thumb of the left hand is used to cover this hole when playing. The index, middle and ring finger of the left hand is used to cover the upper three holes but the little finger is not used. The right thumb lays on the thumb rest while the index, middle, ring and little finger of the right hand covers the lower four holes. Little force is used to play the flutophone, simply blow softly into the mouthpiece to make a sound. Notes are created when the finger holes are opened and closed.
Flutophones are made of plastic material and are very lightweight making it a great pre-band instrument. It is pitched in C; you can play a full chromatic scale on it and it's also affordable. Young children love playing the flutophone because it is easy to learn and simple to play. The mouthpiece is detachable and can also be used to tune the flutophone. Pulling out the mouthpiece will lower the pitch while pressing it in raises the pitch.
Difference of Flutophones From Recorders:
Flutophone Fingering:
Fingering for the flutophone is similar to a recorder. To play middle C, all the holes, including the one at the bottom, are all covered.
Music Sheet/Midi Sample:
Several downloadable flutophone music sheets available here.

Going horizontal
Posted September 16, 2010on:
- In: digital magazine | iPad
- 35 Comments
I've been guest editing the iPad version of Sports Illustrated for the past couple of weeks, which is giving me a great opportunity to experiment with stuff. The issue that came out Wednesday is a case in point: For the first time, we're offering the SIpad Edition in landscape (horizontal) mode only. If a reader flips it into portrait (or vertical) mode, he'll get a message telling him the page is only offered in a horizontal layout.
Why are we doing this?
A number of reasons. We've been doing iPad versions of our magazines here at Time Inc since the device launched on April 3. While I was excited about the possibilities of offering our magazines in both views—ideally, a reader could have two very different experiences, depending on how the pages were viewed—I've come to believe that, for now, and for photo-driven magazines like SI, the horizontal view is the optimal experience. In fact, by concentrating on that one view, we've already been able to innovate: We've created a new way to view extraordinary photos that we call the "Super Looooong View."
Check out the picture of Novak Djokovic serving in the U.S. Open if you want to see the SLV in action. The photo, a gorgeous, full horizontal, is uninterrupted by page breaks (as it would be if it were a spread in a paper magazine) and it scrolls down for at least three screens. It starts high up, in the stands, and ends at Novak's feet—it's a photograph with a "reveal." It's such a cool effect—akin to a centerfold, or poster view. Needless to say, we can create SLVs that scroll horizontally as well. So far, we've only done this across two pages, but the possibilities are endless.
Other reasons we like the horizontal-only approach for this magazine: The download is about 30% smaller. I just downloaded SI at work and it took less than a minute. While users haven't been complaining that much about long download times, many magazines have approached, and even exceeded, 500 megabytes in size. But who wants to store media that big on a 16-gigabyte hard drive?
And last, but not least, doing away with the vertical view allows us to economize on resources. The brunt of the iPad issue falls on the shoulders of our designers—they're the folks who, in one magazine after another here at Time Inc and elsewhere, are the people who suddenly added an extra day to their already busy weeks. (They're also the ones, by the way, who continue to be most excited about the endless possibilities of designing in this medium.) This reduces their work load by a third, minimally.
Why not add more designers? Well, if we were able to build a real business, with subscriptions that offered our iPad versions to readers at a reasonable price, that would be a no brainer. But we can't yet, so the best approach for us is to experiment with the format, marshal our (human) resources and start building products on other platforms that will allow us to scale up as our business grows.
In the meantime, if readers tell us they don't like this, we can always go back to two views—that's the beauty of the current, experimental period in new media. There are no fatal mistakes.
On building a dream tab rag

Why hasn't anyone launched a brilliant, native tablet magazine yet? The opportunity is obvious, and yet no one's done it.
My dream tab rag would cost 99 cents an issue and occupy the space between blog (low cost, small staff, low-production value, given away for free) and legacy print/iPad magazine (high cost, large staff, high-production value, sold for $3-5 an issue or by subscription.)
Some things it would do:
Be right scaled. Employ a half dozen people—edit, business and tech included—if you want to get to 100,000 paid copies a month. Launch for free and start charging after you get 150,000 users.
Do it in HTML5. Find a lowest-common-denominator design that looks gorgeous on Safari, Chrome, Firefox and IE and keep pushing. HTML5, despite its current shortcomings, is the only answer for a variety of reasons:
- Your magazine ought to behave like a downloaded app, but it's really a website. That means the "front porch" is free, daily, bloggy stuff. The rest (i.e. the magazine itself) is published periodically as if it were a pay app.
- HTML5 can do about 60% of what we can do in a downloadable app. But it's already good enough to use as a publishing platform and will rapidly improve.
- You can easily design a small-format version, stripped down for smartphones and a large-format version for tablets (and laptops and desktops.)
- HTML5 gives you all that crunchy web goodness—it's searchable, shareable and not controlled by anyone.
Use a lot of video. The iPad, and other LCD tablets in the wings, are much better to look at than read. That's why Netflix is the killer app on the iPad. While I'm not saying you can't read stuff on tablets—I've read scores of books on both Kindle and iPad—but neither is easier on the eyes than paper. Until we start seeing transflective screens like those being designed by Pixel Qi, video and photos ought to be the bigger part of the mix.
Get the pacing right. No one's done this yet on a tablet—legacy publishers, for a variety of reasons, are too faithful to the print counterpart. But a page of print turns into 2.5 pages of 10-inch tablet—that changes the rhythm and timing of a publication radically. A native tab mag could be paced naturally.
Be wildly entertaining. Until displays improve, tablet-based entertainment will usually trump information. (See 3., above.)
And the horse you rode in on

Aside from the raising of my three godlike children, I've never collaborated on anything that's made me as proud as the work I've done on Time Magazine's iPad app. So please forgive me when I take umbrage at Jeff Jarvis's recent remarks, which struck me today like fighting words.
Jarvis, a former Time Inc.-er, can be forgiven for the disgruntled, I-hate-my-ex-wife tone that creeps into his rhetoric, whenever he discusses his former employer. But I don't forgive him for continuing to kick the fetid corpse of Web 2.0, long after the crowd itself has wandered away. It's tiresome, dude, and intellectually dishonest given that you're still stumping for your Google book. You need to get out from behind your CRT a little more and try to connect with the current thinking in new media.
Google is a great business—for Google. We all know that it has made Google an enormous amount of money for itself and its shareholders. And I have no doubt that Google ads and the attendant freeconomy keep bloggers like you in cigs and the occasional bottle of Midnight Train. The notion, however, that ALL media must be free, and linkable, and remixable and open not only doesn't work for large, news-gathering organizations, it's turning out that it's not even what all readers/consumers want. There is no single recipe for success in the media business, professor.
Yes, the Time Magazine app costs $4.99. The rationale: The app offers 100% of the print magazine, plus photo galleries, video and other iPad-only goodies. While the pricing was not my decision, and I opposed it, I was wrong: It turns out to have been a smart move. While I'm not allowed to say how many copies we've sold to date, I can tell you it's sold about 10X what I had predicted to my peers. (Admittedly, I had predicted a small number. Still, I was shocked by how wrong I was.) Advertiser enthusiasm was even more surprising—clearly, they, too, see that the tablet gives them a bigger, richer canvas than the Web. And they need to understand how to use it as much as we do.
This thing is a hit, not only for us, but for every publisher who's been charging for a decent iPad app.
The fact is, people are willing to pay for content when it's delivered in the way they want. And when, in a month or so, we're able to offer subscriptions, I have no doubt that our business will grow and grow and grow as the number of people with iPads and other tablets explodes.
Finally, on the question of how Time's app is doing versus its peers. (PED's piece was equally misleading.) Our app was indeed the bestselling and top-grossing magazine app during the week of the iPad's launch, but we quickly fell off the list in the second week. Why? Because our app was (until today) produced anew weekly. That meant that the counter that measures unit sales reset to zero with the arrival of every new issue. By comparison, monthly mags have only produced one issue, so all four weeks of unit sales are included under one app.
If you took all of our issues and added them together so it would be an apples to apples comparison, I'm sure we'd still be the top selling and top grossing mag app.
Big deal. It's hardly meaningful at this point.
But directionally, in terms of what readers are telling us and what we're learning about this new platform, we're fairly ecstatic. While I was hedging my bets going into this "appgazine" experiment a year ago, I'm not anymore: Tablets will indeed save the day for many publishers as they complete the transition to extremely profitable digital media.

IPhone, Android Gain Market-Share at Microsoft and Palm's Expense
The Wall Street Journal
Terry McDonnell, editor of Sports Illustrated, and his team have been working for months with The WonderFactory, a NY-based design shop, to build a digital version of the magazine.
This video is a highlights reel; SI has a working prototype that's ginned up for an HP touchpad, which was given to focus groups. They loved it by the way. There was even consensus that people would be willing to pay $50 for both the paper magazine and the digital version. (The best verbatim: "Sorry—can we go back and see the ad again?" People loved the Weber Grill ad, which you can see in the demo.)
The demo was done in Air, because it was easy to do it in Air. This was not a religious choice—that is, whether we actually produce magazines in Flash/Air remains to be seen. The intent was to imagine a "giant iPod" kind of device, and build the best possible user experience. It would be easy to step this down a bit for the smaller screen and produce it in, say, Cocoa Touch for the iPhone, for instance.
My two cents: I think this is really cool. Terry and The WonderFactory's David Link (who I think is destined to become the Roger Black of the digital magazine world) and the gang did an amazing job, and I can't wait to see this go into production.
Let's say that the iThing, and all the tablets like it, are indeed the magic bullets for the publishing business: People are willing to pay for reliable, produced and highly packaged content. The e-mag experience is way more fun, useful and convenient than the paper magazine. And advertising—full page, video heavy, relevant, measurable—lifts off like a rocket.
We can assume that publishers will slowly stop giving away their exclusive content for free online. Many big media sites will become more like billboards, advertising the bounty that lies within pay walls, without giving away the value.
To be sure, the closer you are to news, the more you'll still have to give away something for free. So the New York Times, Time Magazine, CNN.com and so on will still have to give away the fungible stuff. But the exclusive, the highly produced and packaged—all that will start living inside paid apps.
Naturally, that'll make it a little harder for blogs to grab the interesting bits from the pros, at least to the extent they do now. I assume, for instance, that rights holders will be more vigilant in enforcing "fair-use" limitations.
But the rising tide will lift all boats—and the blogs too, especially the established ones.
That's because the same benefits that tablets bestow on old media will accrue to new media as well—in spades.
At the low end of the food chain, the opinion-based and gossip-mongering blogs probably won't get subscription revenue, as they adapt to the "page" format of a tablet, they will almost certainly enjoy far better advertising revenue.
The real winners, I suspect, will be blogs and small sites that do original reporting, and are scaled in a lightweight way, with low overhead, lean staffs and a mass of loyal readers. It's pretty easy to imagine a world in which, say, TechCrunch or TPM or even something more capital-intensive such as Slate, Makes $$$ Fast in the next few years and becomes the most efficient business model.
Smart move by Conde Nast today: The magazine publisher of Wired, Vogue, the New Yorker and others announced it would start porting over entire magazines—not vertical slices or website apps, like other publishers have done thus far—to the iPhone. First up is the men's mag, GQ, which Conde says will be ready to go in December, for $2.99 an issue—$2 less than the newsstand price. Nat Ives has the scoop in Ad Age, and Peter Kafka has a good take at AllThingsD.
Conde is doing a number of things right here.
1. It called bullshit on the notion that appgazines should enjoy the same crap CPMs as websites. I've been saying this all along, because if you stop and think about it, you'll see that these new products ought to represent the best of both the print and online worlds. If someone subscribes to a digital magazine, and reads it—and it's delivered on a lovely color tablet—the full-page ads ought to generate the same CPM as print. Indeed, Conde figured out that these new mags should be even more valuable since these new ad formats will also provide engagement metrics (pageview/clickthru and so on) to the whole dilly. So Conde is valuing this media as print CPM PLS online CPM.
2. It's creating its own platform for making digital magaziness. I'm assuming reusable templates for magazine pages and something that will help advertisers hack together their own ad pages. But who knows? The point is, if this works, they have a model in place that will, one assumes, scale and encompass all its titles, and advertisers.
3. It's preparing for the new Apple Jesus Tablet. If you think this is just about the iPhone, you haven't been paying attention. This is aimed at Whatever It Is that Apple is rumored to be announcing in Q1. That said, I am haunted by a conversation I had a few months ago with a very senior guy at Apple. "If I thought the iPhone was all you guys were coming out with in this space, I wouldn't be so interested," I said. Senior Guy replied: "Then you'd be making an enormous mistake." I read this to mean, build for the iPhone and your product will be even better on whatever Apple comes out with next. Which is what Conde is doing.
I have a few questions, though. For starters, I can't wait to see the product since I know that simply porting over, say, the PDFs of your pages ain't going to cut it. Unless you're able to perform some serious mojo—extracting the text and reflowing images and so on to make everything more readable on the tiny screen—PDFs don't work. I'd also like to learn about how much extra production will go into each issue—Conde just fired a bunch of folks. How many will it need to hire back to retrofit GQ for the small screen?
Does this mean that Conde won't be in the much-discussed, yet-to-be-seen magazine coalition that Time Inc. is said to be organizing? Not necessarily, I guess. There's no reason why you can't pursue both at the same time. And clearly, Apple taking 30 percent is so much better than the alternative: Roughly 50% of the cost of making a magazine is related to printing it and distributing it. So if you could immediately convert your rate base to Apple users, and let Apple handle the transaction, you'd be rolling in clover…
And finally, if my old pal Chris Anderson, editor of Wired is out there… I'd love to hear what you think about all this. I'm wondering if the fact that Wired isn't the guinea pig an indication of where you stand on the question of separate digital magazines… I believe you're an unreconstructed Googleite, after all, and may believe that the best iteration of Wired on a third-screen device is, open and browser based rather than delivered by subscription. Also Chris: Links or no links?
My erstwhile confederate Erick Schonfeld over at TechCrunch, takes me to task for arguing that digital magazines will not behave like websites—that is, they will not have links:
If the Web has taught us anything it is that information does not exist in a vacuum. An article without links is a dead story. An interesting artifact perhaps, but not something that will engage and delight the modern reader, who finds information these days by following links or passing them around. If you close the door to the Web, you'll only be locking yourself in.
I worked with Erick for years and believe that he is almost always the smartest guy in the room. As usual, he makes some great points here. And, in a hypothetical world—where we're talking about ideas and have nothing concrete to look at and dissect, I believe him…
But, brother, let me tell you: I just got back from a week at the mother ship in NY, where I've been watching a few digital magazine experiments take shape over the past four months, and I am more convinced than ever that readers will not miss links…IF we're able to achieve in reality what we can do in prototype. Erick's CD-ROM analogy has been haunting me ever since we first discussed it some time ago, and the teams that have been working in NY are putting together products that are exceptionally fluid and elegant that manage to keep the reader within the "appgazine," delivering a great, focused experience.
The only thing I am 100 percent sure of at this point, is there's no right answer—yet. I expect that, as powerful third-screen tablets evolve, e-magazines—and by "magazine" I mean packaged, curated, vertical, periodical content—will evolve right along with them. And some will use links and be browser based while others will function as downloadable, updatable apps. At this point, I'm strongly advocating the non-browser approach since what we're able to achieve, once freed from that frame, is so much cooler in every way.
Mainly though, I'm thrilled that Erick agrees that magazines will survive in some form.

I moderated a panel today at the MPA Innovation Summit, and, as is always the case, Mary Lou Jepsen blew me away.
Mary Lou is the founder and CEO of Pixel Qi, whose amazing display technology is about to make its debut on a variety of new devices. First up is a tablet that Mary Lou said would be announced by an as-yet undisclosed OEM, perhaps in November.
She was toting around the latest build of the Pixel Qi screen, which had been grafted onto a garden-variety netbook, and it was exponentially better than what she showed me at the start of the summer. This baby is finally ready for prime time.

In the last 3 months, Zinio, which produces digital editions of print publications, has added over 1,000 magazines and books to its portfolio of offerings. But ask anyone you know who doesn't work in the publishing biz what Zinio is and you'll get a blank stare. A new partnership with Target, announced today, could help change that.
Reuters' Robert MacMillan reports that Zinio will sell electronic versions of magazines on a digital newsstand on Target's website.
MacMillan notes, "these titles are meant to look — if not feel — like the print magazines they are replacing." The question is, if consumers wanted to experience the look and feel of print magazines, wouldn't they just read one? Zinio announced earlier this year it would make its offerings available on Plastic Logic's eReader when it launches, so consumers will have to make that call in more than one place.

Great movie about La Grave!
Submitted by Calgary Hotels Downtown (not verified) on Fri, 15/04/2011 - 19:43.
I enjoyed watching Ski Patrollers of La Grave, particularly because I had the good fortune of going skiing there over 10 years ago - the terrain there is simply astonishing for the expert skier and yet the village there is just small and unassuming which probably keeps the 'resort' crowds away. No wonder Doug Coombs eventually settled there, although very sad that he also lost his life in a ski accident there.

I really like this guy, and if he's there at 21 I think the Bengals absolutely have to take him. If he's willing to go this far just to clean up his "image problem", the bulk of which is complete crap IMO anyway, imagine the kind of dedication he'll bring to whatever team decides to give him a shot.
Dez Bryant has Cincinnati Bengals written all over him. He might as well be tattooed with stripes. This guy will play with a chip on his shoulder and make an immediate impact in the league - mark my words. The more I read about this guy the more I'm convinced that he is the man for Cincy in the first.

Covered California says people who start a health insurance application through the exchange by March 31, will have until April 15 to finish the paperwork.
Executive Director Peter Lee says he wants to accommodate the overwhelming enrollment interest seen this week.
"Tuesday, we saw more accounts opened than any day, including at the peak of December when we saw a lot of enrollment," says Lee. "We saw in the first two days of this week, on Monday and Tuesday, more than 39,000 people that went all the way through to plan selection. That's more people than enrolled or selected a plan in the entire month of October."
Lee says high traffic is slowing down the website. He recommends getting in-person help from an enrollment counselor or insurance agent.
Uninsured people who miss this week's deadline will have to wait until next year to get insurance, and may face a tax penalty.
Covered California says it's allowing people an extra couple of weeks to finish enrolling if they start their application by this March 31.

Acutally the first time I had this beer was on tap at the Shirlington October fest. Since then I have had it from the bottle, poured into the Dogfish Head IPA glass
A - I was surprised how light it is, almost pilsner like, say Yellowihs. Left a nice ring on the glass
S - Lots of grapefruit and floral smells. Almost like an orchid or similar tropical sweet smelling flower
T -Mostly a grapefruit or citrus taste, and other tropical fruits, very little of the piney taste of some IPAs. A little bit sweetness helps to balance out the bitterness. but the bitterness is not lingering, a very pleasant finish. ... Loved the taste, reminded me of some other great 'hop bomb' beers, such as Hopslam!
M - Nice amount of carbonation, refreshing
Overall this is one of my favorite IPA's, I like it as much as Hopslam or Lagunitas Sucks

Very nice smooth mouthfeel to this brew , very enjoyable
Very nice tasting beer , the hops the malt and the yeast all come together very well , just a great example of an American IPA that is very balanced , will be purchasing this every year when it comes out

A - Pours a deep gold with a decent white head. Decent lacings.
S - Tons of fruit, namely apricot, mango, and pineapple. Under it all, a touch of pine and herbs. The smallest amount of biscuity malt.
T - More tropical fruit, but with a stronger malt back bone. The hops go through all the way leaving a nice bitter finish, but not overly so.
M - medium body, moderate carbonation. Nice and crisp.
O - I love this beer. The Galaxy hops bring a lovely tropical and citrus flavor to one of my favorite styles. I wish I could find it on the east coast.

Pours golden orange. Nice 2 inch head. Fantastic hoppy citrusy smell. Loads of orange and tangerine. The taste is incredible. Loads of citrus. Loads of hops. Mouthfeel is full, very carbonated. Overall, this is by far my favorite beer of 2012. I can drink this for breakfast every day. You must buy this beer. If you don't, you will regret it.

Poured into a pint glass from a 12oz bottle.
Pours a very clear and pale golden yellow with some mild copper hues. There is a nice 1.25 inch head that is white and very dense. There are some medium to smaller sized bubbles intermingled with the real dense foam. Retention is excellent. The head last forever and recedes very slowly while leaving some lacing.
Aroma to this brew is perfection. Citrusy notes with some tangerine, orange peel and slight grapefruit notes. Those citrus notes are well complimented by some nice tropical fruit notes. There are peach notes and some papaya as well as mango. Nose is awesome.
The flavor follows nose and is very nearly perfect. Tropical notes start things off with some nice papaya and peach. There is also some good citrusy notes that aren't too intense but perfectly balanced with some slight crystal malt sweetness. Some bready notes are present as well as some grassy and slightly piney notes. Mouthfeel is perfect. SMooth and crisp at the same time. Very clean with a nice slightly piney and dry finish.
A true winner by Schlafly. One of their best efforts to date. Great balance of hop and malts and great shinning hop presence. A hop lovers dream with a hidden 7.2% kick.

A sweeter IPA with tangerine nose and flavor. Outstanding. Had so much of it, I'm starting to burn out on it. It's a litte sweet. Light slightly cloudy. Excellent on tap and almost as good in the bottle. 95 is an accurate rating. Has a thick head for a lighter colored beer. Very drinkable. Not as shandy as the Founders All Day IPA, which has more of a grapefruit flavor. Clearly one of my favorite beers.

4.6/5 rDev +7.7%
A - A very light orange, yellowish color, pretty clear, with a small head that produces minor lacing.
S - I really love the fruit smell coming off this one, with a slight hint of other hop notes, such as pine and grass.
T - A subtle grapefruit flavor is out front, with mango and pineapple forming a central base, and some lemon and zest for good measure. Some sweetness balancing off the bitter notes. Delicious.
M - Clean and crisp, with very little drying.
O - A great beer experience, and one I'd sign up for again. No sign of the alcohol when drinking this one, and it is very drinkable, so be sure to pace yourself. If you like your IPA to have strong fruit without being a bomb, this is an excellent example.

12 Oz bottle poured into a tulip
Bottled 11-14-12 (6 days young)
A- This beer pours a clear golden straw yellow with a two finger white head.
S- A massive nose on this beer. It starts off sugary sweet and the hop profile just takes over. A ton of orange and lemon and pineapple. One of the most citrusy smelling beers out there.
T- Sugary sweetness up front. The mats comethrough as a light caramel and very breaddy. The malts perfectly balance the hop bitterness and really help add another element to the beer as well as compliment the hop profile. The hops are crazy in this beer. There is an absolutely massive amount of citrus. This beer tastes like a tropical fruit buffet. The hops are also very floral and a remind you your not drinking a fruit beer.
M- This is a perfectly balanced beer. Sweetness and bitterness balance out to a clean finish and a hoppy aftertaste. Drinkable but still sizable for 7.2%
O- Absolutely awesome IPA. It definitantly helps out that my bottle is extremely fresh. This beer has a different and refreshing hop flavor and is perfectly balanced by the malts. Check it out if you can get it.

12oz bottle poured into a Schlafly snifter.
Appearance: This beer pours a mostly clear brightly light golden orange. About one finger sized of white frothy head. Retention holds up nicely. Nice lacing lines throughout the glass.
Aroma: The galaxy hops are bright and citrusy. Tropical fruits like pineapple and mangoes and grapefruit come to mind. Hints of some piney dankness linger in the background.
Taste: Bright fresh juicy citrus and tropical fruit flavors dominate. Apicots, pineapple, grapefruit, mangoes. At 60 IBU's it's not an overpowering or overly bitter flavor but there's not much here as far as malts go. Perhaps just a little for some balance. Finishes dry.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied. Carbonation is a little high and prickly but I don't have any complaints. The finish is very dry with some moderate bitterness.and wants to keep bringing you back for more.

Here's a fantastic new article by Jordan Arnold, over at Five Knuckles:
"How many fake-ass fighters would we see down at the bar with their Tapout shirts saying that their time is coming. Shit, you know they don't train. If it was easy, all of those guys would be in there. I don't know man, I don't want any part of that."
This is a quote from one of my old interviews with Jens Pulver. He said this back in 2007, however it may apply even more today. One can consistently find twenty and thirty-year-old men in the gym working out with their TapouT shirts on, punching each other in the abs while they do sit ups. Everyone knows that they probably do not do any actual mixed-martial-arts training, however they have this false perception that they are some kind of brave warrior that is ready to step in the Octagon at any minute.
All of this raises the question: Is MMA the new Poker?
Everyone remembers when poker got big back in 2003. We all watched as Chris Moneymaker tore through all of the professional poker players, whom we had never heard of, to win the World Series of Poker. After that, the sport exploded. Millions joined online poker leagues, poker hit huge deals with ESPN and NBC, branded poker rooms became a staple in every casino and guys like Phil Ivey and Phil Hellmuth became household names.
Now fast-forward a bit to April 9th, 2005. In most minds, this date marks the arrival of MMA. On this night, Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar competed against each other to see who would become the first "Ultimate Fighter." Throughout the three rounds, both fighters absolutely annihilated each other in what was a ratings hit. More and more people kept tuning into Spike throughout the fight because their friends had called them and told them that they needed to watch. Dana White refers to Griffin-Bonnar as "the most important fight in UFC history."
When compared, one realizes that the rise of poker and that of MMA are very similar. Poker's rise is generally credited to online poker, the World Series of Poker being televised, the 2004-2005 NHL lockout, television commercials, and Chris Moneymaker. The rise of MMA is often attributed to The Ultimate Fighter, the downfall of boxing, TapouT, the purchase of PRIDE, and Kimbo Slice. See the similarities?
Comparison #1: The Downfall of Another Sport
In order for poker and MMA to get big, another sport had to get out of the way. In poker's case it was hockey. The NHL did not have a 2004-05 regular season. It returned the next year, but it has never had the same popularity. This was perfect for poker because the World Series of Poker Circuit Tournament is the same time as hockey season. With hockey being off of television, this gave more room to show poker on ESPN. Also, it gained a bigger share of a sporting fan's interest. With the extra TV spots, poker was primetime television. Plus, with the hockey lockout, sporting fans may have been more interested in a sport that has no contracts like poker or MMA. People were tired of pay raises going to players who made too much already and did not perform on the field.
In MMA's case it was its weird older cousin, boxing. As Joe Rogan said in 2007, "The famous people that (boxing has) right now are the only famous people that are going to exist in the future." Boxing had been dying for a long time and it needed a new hip replacement. Fans quickly realized that MMA is actually real fighting while boxing is just one aspect of MMA. Fans who got tired of spending money to watching boxing legends gas in the second round moved on to MMA.
Comparison #2: Average Joes Standing Out
Both poker and MMA also had faces that average fans could love and latch onto. Chris Moneymaker was the first online poker player to win a WSOP main event (2.5 million). He was just an average Joe that ended up making a huge amount of money and was the face of a sport for a few years. Kimbo Slice, like it or not, is one of the faces of MMA. Some may not know who Chuck Liddell is, but everyone knows about Kimbo Slice. Kimbo was a goofy-looking homeless man that beat up people on Youtube. He then moved to the cage and was a huge television hit. Again, Kimbo was an average Joe that turned one opportunity into a huge contract, huge fights, big money and lots of fame.
Comparison #3: The Television Tournament
Both sports also had tournaments that were watched by millions of people. The World Series of Poker was a staple in most households for 2003 and 2004. Nobody could get away from it. The Ultimate Fighter was huge in the rise of MMA simply because it is a reality show and people can watch it every week. Additionally, at the end of each season there is a free UFC event televised on Spike. UFC pay-per-views are 50 dollars, so a lot of people do not bother to buy them just because they can not afford them. Accessibility was huge for the UFC because with the rise of The Ultimate Fighter, one could watch MMA on a weekly basis for free.
So is MMA going to be as popular as people say? Or will it peak, much like poker did a few years after its boom? The facts seem to suggest that it will continue its meteoric rise. This is because:
1 Poker is mostly chance and MMA is mostly skill. People love watching the results of the hard work that mixed-martial-artists put into their careers. In poker, it is very possible to dominate without much hard work at all. 2-7 off-suited (the worst hand in Texas Hold'em poker) can technically beat a pair of aces. There is definitely a certain amount of luck in MMA (see St. Pierre-Serra), however the fans love it because they too often see lazy athletes with natural talent that do not put in the work that is needed. MMA represents the blue collar spirit of a hard work ethic.
2 MMA is fighting. From Gladiators to sword duels to boxing in the 1920s, humans love fighting. Fighting seems to be hardwired into our brains just as much as peace or love is. This is why war games and violent movies are so popular. With boxing dropping off of a cliff, MMA is taking its place.
3 The UFC is great at hyping fights. Right now, they are saying that UFC 100 is the biggest card of all-time. In a few weeks they will be saying that UFC 101 is. They somehow got fans hyped up for Ortiz-Shamrock 3. They had already fought twice! Every fight that Georges St. Pierre has from now on is going to be "the toughest test of his career" because that sells pay-per-views. Poker definitely lacks here. They have one big event all year and the other events are usually not even televised. It would be like the WWE having Wrestlemania as their only pay-per-view of the year.
4 There are always intriguing storylines to follow in MMA. Young vs. old, style vs. style, power vs. technique. In poker, there is rarely a storyline to follow. Occasionally we run across a guy like Moneymaker that has a good story, but nothing like "PRIDE vs. UFC" or "Ortiz vs. Liddell."
5 MMA has journalists writing about the sport. Poker did not have a Sherdog or a Five Knuckles. MMA journalists can write about events, training before the events, future fights, rumors, etc...but poker journalists can't. They can write about events and that's it. MMA fans can get their news or opinions on almost any fighter at any time.
MMA's rise is extremely similar to poker's rise, however MMA will not plateau at its peak. So do not worry folks, MMA is here to stay. Ignore the guys in the Xtreme Couture shirts who don't know who Randy Couture is. They will come around.

For those of you who wonder about Santorum, yes, he's got an easy smile, he's very engaging, and he's personable. He also has a chiseled chin, sumptuous lips, and eyelashes that set my heart on fire every time he winks approvingly at me and my campaign. One on one, he's charming and has a genuine gift for retail politics. These are the skills that make him a formidable opponent and, unlike that big meany, Bob Casey, a wonderful human being. It's not until he starts talking (and legislating) ideas that things get scary. So scary that I jump right in his arms and beg him to hold me in his strong protective grasp!Yes, it's love, and no, it's not pretty.
But the most dangerous thing about Rick Santorum as a candidate other than that hypnotic sparkle in his eyes that screams "OBEY ME!!!" is that he's not above the process -- he's willing to submit himself and his ideas to the voters for inspection just as I'm willing to submit to his overwhelming mental superiority. In that way, he's actually a lot more honorable and a lot more respectful than Bob Casey, Jr who won't even sob, sob return a single one of my calls sob, sob. Santorum's got an opponent; he's offering to debate; he's unafraid, and lord knows that what America needs is men who are dumb as a rock and unafraid to keep making the same mistakes, over and over and over and...In all seriousness, Chuck Pennachio has just proved, once and for all, that you don't have to be particularly intelligent to run a vanity campaign for Senate. I wonder- what will it take for his fantasy fueled fanatic supporters to realize that they are being used by a campaign that stands for nothing other than the aggrandizement of a very little man's immensely inflated ego?

Dr. Schechter wanted the movement to implement certain key ideas: a) K'lal Yisrael (the whole of the Jewish community); b) a Jewry based on the North American experience; c) a Jewry related to modern living; d) a Jewry devoted to Torah, with education a major priority; and e) a Jewry normatively halachic.
Conservative Judaism maintains that the truths found in Jewish scriptures and other Jewish writings come from G-d, but were transmitted by humans and contain a human compontent. Conservative Judaism generally accepts the binding nature of halakhah, but believes that the Law should change and adapt, absorbing aspects of the predominant culture while remaining true to Judaism's values. The idea of flexibility is deply rooted in Conservative Judaism, and can be found within their own Statement of Principles, Emet ve-Emunah.
Ismar Schorsch, Chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary, identifies and explores seven core values of Conservative Judaism in his monograph, "The Sacred Cluster: The Core Values of Conservative Judaism." According to Schorsch, the core values of Conservative Judaism are:
- The Centrality of Modern Israel
- Hebrew: The Irreplaceable Language of Jewish Expression
- Devotion to the Ideal of Klal Yisrael
- The Defining Role of Torah in the Reshaping of Judaism
- The Study of Torah
- The Governance of Jewish Life by Halakha
- Belief in God
The Conservative Movement in Israel is called the Masorti (Masorti is the Hebrew word for "traditional") Movement. According to the Masorti Movement Web Site, the ideology of the Masorti Movement is based on three primary principles:
- Torah and Mitzvot
- Tolerance and Pluralism
- Zionism

So the roster as it stands looks like this, right?
C - Meyers Leonard, Kurt Thomas
PF - LaMarcus Aldridge, Victor Claver, Joel Freeland, JJ Hickson
SF - Nicolas Batum, Luke Babbitt, Shawne Williams
SG - Wesley Matthews, Elliot Williams, Will Barton
PG - Damian Lillard, Nolan Smith
That's a full 15 players. It's hard to imagine Thomas logging many minutes behind a rookie center likely to get into plenty of foul trouble, which means lots of playing out of position (or undersized, anyway) for Freeland and probably Hickson. I'm not sure what position Claver plays in the NBA, but the whispers on the 'net are that he's not a great shooter, so lots of minutes at small forward and shooting guard seem unlikely.
All of this information, taken collectively, suggests the Blazers are not done with the roster maneuvers they need to complete before the season starts. We are really thin at the point, in particular. Either that, or this may be a long, difficult season, even if everyone stays healthy.

LAWTON Okla_ A head-on crash
in northwest Lawton
Friday injured two people. One is in serious condition.
It happened
around 11:30 AM on Cache Road
between Goodyear Boulevard
and Northwest 82nd street.
Investigators say witnesses saw the SUV driving east on Cache Road and a pickup going west, when
it appeared the SUV crossed the center line.
Lawton Police Captain
Craig Akard said the two drivers were the only people involved. The driver of
the SUV was airlifted to an Oklahoma City
hospital in serious condition.
The pickup
driver was taken to Comanche
County Memorial
Hospital with minor
injuries. Investigators are still trying to figure out what caused the SUV
driver to cross the center line.
Lawton police captain
Craig Akard said the accident scene looked severe, but both drivers made it out
"The individual
in the SUV wasn't trapped," Akard said. "But, we had to wait until fire got
there to use some of their tools to get him out. The driver of the pickup was
Witnesses told
police the SUV appeared to cross into oncoming traffic.
"We don't
know what the circumstances were that caused it to go across the center line,"
Akard said.
He said car
safety features played a crucial role in saving the lives of both drivers.
one of them coming out of this accident would be a good testament to the way
that they build cars now and days… and the airbags."
The accident
did shut down east and west-bound traffic for a few hours, but the road has
been opened again.
Captain Akard said at this time, they are not releasing the names of the
drivers until the families have been notified.

Who doesn't need to spice up their bedroom routine every once in a while? You love your partner and assume he'll initiate sex, so it's all good, right? Not so fast!
Did you ever think about what YOUR role is...what you could be doing to turn up the heat? We did, so we asked renowned sex expert and family therapist Dr. Jane Greer. She says women COMMONLY make THREE MISTAKES in the bedroom:
I know, ladies, that you want to be in those those comfortable nightgowns, those comfortable jammies that you wear. But, honestly, the quickest turn-off to your partner or spouse is your comfy clothes. So, if you want to spice things up in your love life, shed those comfy clothes and find a nice, hot bra or a nice nighty, something you can be slinky, sexy and comfortable in that will be a TURN-ON to your partner.
Related: 5 Surprisingly Good Reasons to Have Sex Tonight
Don't wait to get asked to dance, meaning you've got to take the lead. You don't have to wait for your partner to ask you to have sex or make love with them. Get involved, get into bed, take the lead and get your partner into bed with you. You 'll both have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselves.Related: 4 Biggest Mistakes Men Make in Bed
It's to be avoided at all costs. Nothing will turn off your partner faster than you telling him what you DON'T like and what you don't want taking place. On the other hand, what will be a complete arousal and turn-on is letting him know what he CAN do to please you and what will excite you if he does it.
So, tell him what you like, wear those sexy clothes and, most importantly of all, take the lead so that you can have the fun you're looking for!

The World Series started a tradition in 1955 when Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Johnny Podres was named the event's first Most Valuable Player, and now baseball fans are waiting to see which Marlin or Yankee becomes No. 50. For each remaining game of this series, MLB.com's Mark Newman will chart the leaders.
1. Hideki Matsui. After establishing himself as the clear MVP frontrunner through three games, Godzilla showed in Game 4 that he can play World Series small ball, too. He advanced Bernie Williams in the second inning with a grounder that set up a sac fly, worked a crucial walk off Ugueth Urbina in the ninth-inning rally and another one against Chad Fox in the 11th. Matsui has improved every postseason round and is hitting .429 with a homer against Florida.
2. Bernie Williams. After setting the all-time postseason home run record with No. 19 in Game 3, could his first World Series MVP award be next? The Yankees' center fielder was 4-for-6 and not only scored in the first but also started the ninth-inning rally and scored. He leads all World Series regulars with a .471 average.
3. Jeff Conine. Although he has no extra-base hits or RBIs, Mr. Marlin has five hits in the last two games and is Florida's best candidate at this point. He singled and scored in the first inning for Florida's third run off Roger Clemens, and Conine's .429 average now leads all Marlin regulars.
4. Andy Pettitte. His stock actually rose when the Yankees lost. It means Pettitte is guaranteed to pitch again in Game 6 back at Yankee Stadium, and anything resembling his crucial Game 2 turnaround victory for New York would put him in prime MVP position.
5. Juan Pierre. The Marlins managed to manufacture a win without much noise from their leadoff man, who had scored in the first inning of two World Series games. He did, however, make a brilliant running catch on a John Flaherty drive in the 10th. Pierre is hitting .357 with no strikeouts.
Worth mentioning: Derek Jeter's stock dropped after a 1-for-6 night Wednesday, but that followed a big game and he is never out of the picture.
... Alex Gonzalez probably would need to dominate the remaining games to contend, but his 12th-inning walk-off homer will not be forgotten soon.
... The same applies to Braden Looper. After Urbina's meltdown, he shut the door on New York and is someone to watch the rest of the series. A setup man is a long shot to win the award, however, so don't hold your breath on Florida providing the first non-Yankee reliever to be MVP since Rollie Fingers with Oakland in 1974.
