Would you pass on these Thanksgiving delicacies?
Updated On: Nov 21 2012 03:48:42 AM EST
Americans will surround the dinner table on Thanksgiving to indulge in some of their favorite holiday dishes. But not every delicacy we try will be considered "traditional."
The ability to eat questionable food with a smile will be put to the test for some, as cooks emerge from the kitchen with dishes like turkey sushi, TurDuckEn, meat cake, and gravy soda.
Not sure what some of these are? Scroll down and see if the pictures of these delicacies make your mouth water, or have you reaching for something else.
East meets West: turkey sushi may not be appealing to everyone.
TurDuckEn: a turkey stuffed with duck, chicken, and variety of fowl and fixings.
Meat Cake: cake filled with turkey meat and topped with mashed potatoes and cranberries.
Gravy Soda: turkey and gravy flavored soda from Jones Soda Co.
What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes? Let us know on our Facebook page.

Glowpots bring light and neon to potted plants
Thursday, April 17, 2008 - 5:05am
If you like glowing outdoor decorations but can't quite afford these balls, consider the Glowpot. It's a white plastic pot with a light inside it that runs on triple-A batteries. When you turn it on, the pot doesn't just glow, it "slowly phases through the color spectrum." No word on how plants are affected by the presence of a light bulb in their pot, but for just $10 a pop, Glowpots seem like a fun garden decoration.

Hello friends,
I have heard that protein powders can be hard on your liver. I recently had my gallbladder removed, so I want to keep my liver as healthy as possible.
Reid Wilson
Everything is fine as long as it is in moderation, I'd imagine with any protein powder as its not a natrallyfound food (I know the pea is but it doesn't really grow in a powder form!) so as a result its going to require your body is under some sort of pressure to deal with it and your liver will no doubt have some work to do.
I'd speak to your doctor or ask to speak to a nurse of even better a medical dietition, you'd probably be fine having the pea protein here and there but if you do eat it every day or more then once a day then maybe think about getting some advice before you make any choices.

Is there any sweeter harbinger of fall than a big fat tomato fight?
The people of Bunol, in Spain's Valencia region, have been hurling the juicy orbs at each other on the last Wednesday of August since 1944 in a strange ritual that celebrates the end of the growing season. The festival, called La Tomatina, has become a huge weeklong event that attracts thousands from all over.
Now, some U.S. locales are getting in on the act. So if you're itching for a food fight of epic proportions this fall, consider these closer-in locales.
Milwaukee's East Side neighborhood claims the first La Tomatina-style event, dubbed the Tomato Romp. The fifth annual Romp is Sept. 17 and, besides the tomato fight, features a bloody Mary contest. Last year, 200 participants gathered in a public parking lot to hurl tomatoes at each other, raising money for Feeding America, says East Side executive director Jim Plaisted.
Organizers of La Tomatina en Reno, which takes place today (Aug. 27) in the downtown City Plaza, have gathered 75,000 pounds of tomatoes for the third annual event of its kind. Participants pay $10 to enter, which this year will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
About 1,500 participated in 2010, half the number of the year before, thanks to a cold snap. But numbers are expected to be up this year, says the city's tourism spokesman Ben McDonald.
A couple of Seattle entrepreneurs have put a more commercial spin on the food fight with Tomato Battle, a roving day-long event featuring live music, a costume contest and a beer garden, plus the centerpiece tomato fight.
The debut event was at Copper Mountain, Colo., in June and attracted 2,000 participants, says marketing director Danielle Campoamor. Upcoming events are in Seattle (Sept. 24); near San Francisco (Oct. 1); Los Angeles (Oct. 22); and Dallas (Nov. 12). Tickets are $59.99 for food fighters and $29.99 for spectators.
Organizers of all events stress that no healthy tomatoes are harmed in the process.
"They're all past ripe. The only place these tomatoes are going is to the compost," says Campoamor.

Ask an Economist - Does the EDD post data on job losses by name of company and city/metro area?
Generally, EDD does not post data on job losses by company name due to confidentiality concerns. However, the Department does post information on layoffs reported by employers under terms of the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) law. To view a discussion of the WARN law and layoff information self-reported by employers under the law, go to www.edd.ca.gov/Jobs_and_Training/Layoff_Services_WARN.htm#ListingofWARNNotices .

Also, how many of the examples out there of bad DMs is actually caused by bad players who really needed to be taken down a notch?

I think the call for codifying things to remove those DMs is targeting the wrong problem. People who just can't handle the fact that rpg's are social games where everyone take part will wreck any game, but the good players will be limited and bored by a game where everything is codified and pushed into the same mold.Andreas Davourhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702508936667404812.post-67684395393752132342009-07-22T08:20:39.083-04:002009-07-22T08:20:39.083-04:00Excellent, Phil!

Bad Quality Managers will often abuse the fact that people around him don't understand the regulations to make overly costly requests 'just because the regulations say so'.

In the same vein, and only for D&D, giving players near full access to the mechanics of the game makes the job of the 'because I said so' type of DM harder. The DM still has authority, but it's harder to take the convinient shortcuts that Tyrants and bullies like to use.

Now I'm not saying that DMs have been emasculated and should bow down to the shrine of the all powerfull player, hell no! I'm just saying that now that the rules rest equally on the shoulders of everyone, the DM can now focus on winning the trust of his players and lead the playing group like a coach/director.

Now you DO bring an excellent counter example Zach in that with 3.x and 4e, a new brand of tyrants, the Player, has appeared. Such players can kill game as fast as bad DMs could.

And this is an area where DMs need to develop the proper social tools to counter. I just don't happen to think that responding with Tyranny is the way to go.ChattyDMhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702508936667404812.post-36294304738120782182009-07-21T22:41:09.087-04:002009-07-21T22:41:09.087-04:00From the latest comments I take it that the hypoth...From the latest comments I take it that the hypothesis was that by "nailing everything down" and removing DM creativity from the game (having long lists of magic items in the PHB?

It was a pleasure having you on the show, my friend!

I guess what I don't see is why the ability of a DM to be a tyrant or authoritarian has specifically shifted with the latest edition of D&D. Certainly there have been games that have had this approach before--are you saying that in a "By the book" approach, this is now more the case? Is there anything you feel built into intrinsically to discourage this particular "governmental" arrangement? If the GM/DM/Referee still has the final veto, isn't any division of power still subject upon his authority? Or is it your opinion that players are less tolerant of abusive DMs because of greater education on the mechanics?

Lastly, do you any shift towards the players simply moves the possibility of "bad" tyranny from one participant to several? That instead of one dictatorial GM, you now have the possibility of 4-5 dictatorial players instead?

Thanks again, Phil. I think this is a really engaging topic, at least for me. I think, at the heart of it, people are comfortable with different levels of DM/GM authority, and the idea of working with what works for your group still reigns supreme. That's something I've seen regardless of system.Zachary The Firsthttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702508936667404812.post-29860966425774908332009-07-21T15:41:56.690-04:002009-07-21T15:41:56.690-04:00Good post Zach.

My statement on the show was that since D&D 3.x, the burden of knowing and mastering the rules of D&D shifted from the DM to the players.

While the DM has the power to make calls and veto rules/rulings. The era of the all powerful DM who's whims spelled life or death of a PCs was over.

I've seen my share of Tyrant DMs (the King George type) in my time and with the shift of the burden of rules, such tyrants have very short lived careers.

And I must say that I'm quite glad. I have no tolerance for petty bosses that abuse what little power is given to them.

The Authority of the DM resides in the trust the players give him and is valid for as long as the trust is not broken. So the authority is earned, not a given of the title.ChattyDMhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702508936667404812.post-83131977502463065092009-07-21T11:35:30.932-04:002009-07-21T11:35:30.932-04:00I can't listen to the show right now.

In other words, if players are human, then from time to time the GM must point out, "I wear the Viking Hat!"

As evidence, I present this sjgames thread, "power gaming and how to thwart it", in which a bunch of communists express some ridiculous ideas about players being equal to the GM in rights and responsibilities, and some even pull out the old canard, "you can't solve out-of-game problems with in-game actions."

Or as one maniac put it, "smashing the player character's shiny bits into pieces isn't the best way and is far from the only way to handle this type of thing."

Yeah, I always had my "go-to" person or two in my games that I know will be doing a lot of role-playing and character development, then the one dude who is a more sublime player. I always like a good mix of agressive rpg'ers and one's who "go with the flow." Sometimes a low maintianance players is a godsend. Two knuckleheads who are a hairs length away from being power gamers is plenty.

I've been running my AD&D world for over 30 years, and I am still a fairly "imperial" DM. But I am super-freindly to PC's in that I am usually on their side in everything they do. I want them to win. I give great challenges and often had bad things happen to friend and family (my old comic book influences), but I never say things like "Now it's time for my fun - you get hit by a 10 dice fireball."

But it's my world, and it's open only to my laws and interpretations. My players seem to love it, so I guess I'm doing it ok.

In England he was rather well liked. He was a tyrant - an unsuccessful one - in the classical sense because of his propensity for autocratic rule, which fought against England's developing a fully democratic government, sometimes by ignoring it, and sometimes by perverting its nascent institutions. Certainly the large and vocal conservative backbone of the English people were quite happy to oblige him.

I think, just as people get the government they deserve, groups get the GM they deserve. If a GM abuses power, then it is not just the right but the duty of the group to do whatever is necessary to remove that GM from power.

On the other hand, the group tenders some of its rights to the GM for a purpose. That purpose varies from group to group, but essentially includes some elements of administration, entertainment, and creativity, with the particulars varying wildly between groups.

Some groups want and need a GM who pushes things through. Other groups want and need a GM who keeps a light reign on things, working mostly as an administrator. Other groups happily rotate these duties between all members. Whatever works for the group, I'm in favor of it.

Some trouble generally comes with a style mismatch, where the group expectations - or individual expectations within the group - don't match what the GM has to offer, or thinks is expected.

Other trouble comes when the GM is unfit for any position of power, but wants it.

This does mean, IMO, that the "day of the tyrant GM" will never be over, because some groups want and need a tyrant - in the good sense, as you are using it - and mismatches are going to occur. And there will always be those unfit for power, who will never know until they are tried in the position.

I think one of the good things to come out of the Forge is the emphasis on the social contract of teh group. Thinking about what you want and setting it out in the open is just generally a good idea. It tends to limit type mismatches, and lets people in the group understand what the rest of the group wants, allowing them to make an informed decision about whether the group is right for them.

Anyway, excellent points!

Neil Young's Kickstarter for his PonoMusic Player has ended after raising over $6 million, eight times its original goal of $800,000.
The campaign closed on April 15th with full backing on several pledges tied to rewards, including signature series Ponos with pre-loaded music and autographs from Metallica, Tom Petty, Pearl Jam and Young himself. Rewards for the $5,000 pledge levels include a dinner and a VIP listening party with Young in California and New York City. In total, 18,220 people backed the campaign, pledging $6,225,354. Kickstarter's rules say that project organizers can keep money raised above and beyond the initial funding threshold.
The Pono music player and service allows users to listen to music at a much higher quality than the typical smartphone. It has a suggested retail price of $399 and contains 128 gigabytes of memory, which can store between 1,000 and 2,000 high-resolution songs. The device will also accept memory cards to hold more music and playlists.

1031 Tax Exchange
|Tax Abatements
|Following through with a 1031
|Timelines and Restrictions
|Step by Step 1031 Exchange
Buying a home today is about more than simply finding a good location and a nice house. Buyers must think about the future value of the home, and its "personal" value. Personal value relates to the intention of the buyer. Is this the permanent family home? A temporary property? A fixer-upper or a chance to try out those "flipping" skills? Most people who consider a 1031 tax abatement have a short-term interest in the property.
A 1031 tax abatement, also known as a Like-Kind exchange, allows
buyers to avoid paying taxes during the process of selling and buying
investment property. It is meant to assist property investors in
purchasing higher-priced property after a sale. As a concrete example,
imagine an investor purchasing a piece of property for $300,000.
A year later, he sells the property for $400,000, and then buys another
property with that $400,000. Under normal circumstances, the investor
would have to pay taxes on the capitol gain (the $100,000 profit),
leaving little money to buy a better piece of property. Under a 1031
abatement, however, he can defer paying taxes on the gain until a
later time, and use the entire $100,000 profit to invest in a bigger
or better piece of property. The concept of a 1031 exchange is the
trading of properties (one bought, one sold) without reporting whether
there was a loss or gain on the transaction. In essence, this exchange
allows buyers to "borrow" the amount of the gain from the government
as an interest-free loan.
1031 Exchange: Timelines and Restrictions
With a 1031, there is a solid timeline that must be followed between the time that a property is sold and another exchanged. This timeline is divided into two distinctive periods, the Identification Period and the Exchange Period. The Identification Period is the first 45 days of the exchange; in this time, the property to be exchanged has to be officially recognized. As such, taxpayers who have multiple properties and identify the wrong property for trade must stick with their choice. In addition, if Mother Nature steps in and destroys the home that was to be exchanged, the 1031 will have to be dismissed. The process of exchange is very stringent.
The exchange period ends when a replacement property has been successfully exchanged with the original property, not to exceed 180 days from the start of the Identification period.
The principles of the 1031 tax abatement have simplified since it
was originally introduced. Instead of requiring that buyers sell
their current property before buying a new one, the IRS has recently
allowed taxpayers to complete a "reverse" exchange, where the buyer
purchases a replacement property before selling the original property.
A non-simultaneous exchange of property is known as a Starker Tax
deferred exchange. Another simplification to the process involves
the definition of "real" property. Law states that you may only exchange
real property with real property. But "real" property includes both
commercial and residential property, as well as land. This means
that under certain circumstances, taxpayers may exchange residential
property for commercial property. An exception is that property inside
of the United States cannot be exchanged for property outside of
the country. In addition, the proceeds of a home sale must be reinvested
within 180 days.
The hardest part of following through with a 1031 exchange is finding a replacement property within the 45 days given by the IRS after relinquishing the original property. However, there are some guidelines that can increase a person's options. First, a taxpayer may choose up to three replacement properties, of any value, from which he/she must acquire at least one of those before the 180-day deadline. Another option, called the 95% rule, allows taxpayers to choose any number of replacement properties as long as the Fair Market Value of the properties received by the end of the exchange period is 95% or more of the total FMV of all potential properties identified. Finally, the 200% rule permits taxpayers to choose any number of replacement properties as long as the total FMV of the replacement properties doesn't surpass 200% of the fair market value of the exchanged property/properties.
Think of a 1031 as a traditional IRA or 401k. When you sell assets
in a tax-deferred retirement plan, the capital gains are deferred
until you cash out of the retirement plan. Same with a 1031. As long
as you re-invest your money in real estate, you may stall on the
Follow the step-by-step process below to benefit from the tax advantages of a 1031 Exchange:
Seek advice from a tax counsel or CPA to ensure that you're doing what is most beneficial for your business.
Sell your original property, making sure to include a cooperation clause in the sales agreement which states that the buyer is aware that you intend to complete a 1031 exchange, and intends to cooperate with you to accomplish this at no charge. Please note that the closing agent is responsible in this case for contacting a Qualified Intermediary to order documents.
Enter into a 1031 agreement with a Qualified Intermediary (who will be named as principal in the sale of your sold property and the resulting purchase of new property). The exchange agreement must meet IRS requirements regarding proceeds. Along with the agreement, an amendment to escrow is signed which names the QI as seller. A replacement property does not need to be identified yet.
Keep in contact with the Qualified Intermediary. The proceeds of the sale go to the Qualified Intermediary. The funds will be placed in a separate market account. It is at this point that the exchange timeline begins. Written notification of a replacement property must be sent within 45 days of this date.
Send written identification of the replacement property before the 45th day to the Qualified Intermediary, the seller of the replacement property or an attorney. This written announcement must be signed by everyone who signed the exchange agreement.
Make an agreement to purchase a replacement property, again including a cooperation clause. This document will show the QI as the buyer, although the deed will reflect the true buyer.
Wait. The Qualified Intermediary will put the exchange funds and growth proceeds into escrow. He or she will send you information regarding incoming funds.
File form 8824 with the IRS when taxes are filed, in addition to required state tax documents.
As a professional Buyer's broker, Elika Associates can assist buyers in finding properties that capitalize on the 1031 exchange. In addition, we can help you find a Qualified Intermediary to serve as safe harbor, as well as assist in filling out the necessary paperwork to make the deferment official.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Dacey!
Facts about Dacey
- Breed: Collie
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Dacey's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Meet Dacey. She is a six year old Collie girl that was turned in to the KC Sheltie rescue from her previous owners. Her family found themselves busy working all day and even busier with their children's activities six nights a week. This left Dacey home alone almost all of the time which they felt was not fair to her. She is a very social girl, loves to play and run, and just have fun. She is house trained, crate trained, spayed, micro-chipped and UTD on all of her vaccines including the Flu shot! She is a small gal and only weighs 51 lbs. She would love an active family that would include her in their activities. She would really enjoy being a jogging partner or just accompanying her new family on daily walks...on a leash of course! Her previous family took her to the spa for Christmas which included a 'puppy cut'. Her gorgeous collie coat is growing back nicely and she is sure to be a real 'looker' once her full coat comes in. Dacey is so looking forward to meeting her new family. She would love it if she was lucky enough to have a brother too that she could play with. However, she does not get along very well with female dogs, nor cats. Email if you are interested in visiting her....Dacey will be waiting by the laptop for your response!
We require a secure fenced yard, we do not accept "invisible" or electric fences. We will check your fence. All our dogs are spay/neutered, current on vaccinations, heartworm tested and on prevention, on Flea & Tick prevention and micro-chipped. Dentals are completed as needed. You may meet our dogs at Petco on W. 75th Street, just East of Metcalf in Overland Park, KS on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month from 10 to 2 and the 1st Sunday of the month from 11 to 3 or by Appointment. We DO NOT SHIP our dogs
Other Pets at Kansas City Sheltie Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dacey, a Mission Collie dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Collie for sale in Mission, or seeking a Collie dog from a breeder in Mission.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mission already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mission breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Collie breeders who help with Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mission paves the way for another one to be saved.

These questions seems to be a constant question of humanity. Why does a good and loving God allow such evil to happen? Why does God allow horrible things to happen to those who love Him? Why do bad things happen to good people? Another way to label the questions is to call it "the Problem of Evil".
The answer does not always satisfy unless you have a good idea of who God is. To really understand the answer, and in turn God Himself, then we have to dive into exploring what evil is.
First off, evil is not a thing. In fact, it is more of a lack of something else, good, than anything else. Just as darkness is a lack of light, so evil is a lack of goodness. When we think of it this way, we see that God, who is goodness by nature, did not "create" of "invent" evil. Rather, it is God's creatures' failure to be good that allowed evil to enter into existence.
Secondly, the reason that death and physical suffering exist is because there is spiritual and moral evil. The cause of suffering and death is ultimately man's sin. Because of our disobedience we suffer, in both body and soul. What we have earned by our sin is suffering and death for eternity.
This also helps us to understand the eternal love of God for us. "But God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us." (Romans 5:7) Even though what we merit by our evil is death and punishment, we are forgiven.
The amazing thing about this paradox of love overcoming evil is that it leads us to the answer of why God allows evil. The answer is found in the cross.
Suffering and physical death are not good, but neither are they evil in and of themselves. In fact, through the cross, suffering and death can be redemptive. That is, they can help us to re-capture some of the purity, love and holiness that we are called to. The cross is God's answer to evil. In it, He conquers and shows us how to overcome it.
From this the questions might be turned on their head. We can now understand why bad things happen to good people, but why do good things happen to bad people? It is once again because of the love that God has for all people. Not just the "good" ones.
Suffering and death can lead to holiness and union with God. Therefore, it isn't as evil as we make it out to be. It is the eternal death of the soul we should be afraid of. All of this perfectly explains the reason St. Paul could write these words to the Romans:
"For if, by the transgression of one person, death came to reign through that one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of justification come to reign in life through the one person Jesus Christ. In conclusion, just as through one transgression condemnation came upon all, so through one righteous act acquittal and life came to all. For just as through the disobedience of one person the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of one the many will be made righteous. The law entered in so that transgression might increase but, where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through justification for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Romans 5:17-21

Review of the 2007 Dodge Sprinter Cargo
Although pricier and less powerful than GM and Ford's full-size vans, the 2007 Dodge Sprinter Cargo is a thoroughly modern take on this utilitarian class of vehicles with segment-leading cargo space, body configurations, fuel economy and maneuverability.
- Safety
Multiple large body styles, walk-around interior, stellar fuel economy for a full-size van, superior maneuverability, Mercedes build quality.
Higher initial cost than competitors, doesn't offer the power and towing capacity of a V8.
What's New for 2007
The 2007 Dodge Sprinter has been completely redesigned. There are larger body styles available, including a new "mega" roof with a class-leading 7-foot interior height measurement and 600 cubic feet of cargo space. The standard turbodiesel is now a V6 and has been upgraded to 280 pound-feet of torque, while an optional 3.5-liter gasoline V6 has been added for those looking for more highway-friendly power.

Full 2007 Dodge Sprinter Cargo Review
What's New for 2007
The 2007 Dodge Sprinter has been completely redesigned. There are larger body styles available, including a new "mega" roof with a class-leading 7-foot interior height measurement and 600 cubic feet of cargo space. The standard turbodiesel is now a V6 and has been upgraded to 280 pound-feet of torque, while an optional 3.5-liter gasoline V6 has been added for those looking for more highway-friendly power. The exterior has undergone evolutionary changes, but the interior has been brought into this decade with new Mercedes-Benz switchgear and a tilt/telescoping steering column.
While most cars, SUVs and minivans last roughly five to six years between generations, full-size cargo vans are like those 100-year-old crocodiles that live on while the rest of the animal kingdom dies away. When a new van shows up, such as the 2007 Dodge Sprinter Cargo, it's a rare occasion. Although the last-generation Sprinter arrived only in 2003, it had been sold around the world as a Mercedes-Benz since 1995. That vehicle was already a revolutionary step beyond its aged General Motors and Ford competition, and the new model increases that disparity even more.
The 2007 Dodge Sprinter's clear advantages are in the realms of cargo capacity, body configurations and driving dynamics. A quick visual inspection of the Sprinter reveals just how different it is. Its radically sloped front end, long wheelbase and tall body make it look like a good Beckham kick could knock it over, yet it's just as wide as the GM and Ford models, and handles more like a midsize SUV than a cargo van. A further examination of the Sprinter's dimensions reveals a standard wheelbase longer than the Econoline's extended wheelbase, and at 289 inches, the largest Dodge is almost 4 feet longer than the biggest GM van.
As before, the German-built Sprinter is the only full-size van to offer a choice of factory roof heights. Should Kareem Abdul-Jabbar require a full-size work van, a new mega roof option provides an impressive 7 feet of interior height. For someone to walk upright in an Econoline and Express/Savanna, they can't be taller than 4-foot-4. This not only makes the Sprinter a superior cargo-hauling van, but also a viable and comfortable work space.
One of our few complaints about the previous-generation Sprinter was its weak diesel-fueled inline-5 engine and limited towing capacity. Although that engine had enough torque for city driving, its meager 154 horsepower made the van quickly lose its verve at highway speeds. A new 3.0-liter diesel V6 is standard this year. It only increases torque by 29 lb-ft (horsepower remains the same), but a newly optional 254-hp gasoline-fueled V6 should be adequate for those who do more freeway driving. Towing capacity on the 3500 model is now 7,500 pounds, but still falls short of the Econoline and GM vans' maximum of about 10,000 pounds. The Sprinter 2500's towing capacity remains 5,000 pounds.
Overall, we think the redesigned 2007 Dodge Sprinter Cargo should be an appealing choice for many commercial users, including on-site repairmen, fleet operators and contractors. Despite being a little underpowered and pricey compared to the V8-powered GM and Ford vans, the Sprinter's multiple large body styles and quality construction make it an excellent choice in this segment.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2007 Dodge Sprinter is a full-size cargo van. Body style choices are numerous, with 2500 and 3500 models available in two wheelbases (144 and 170 inches), three body lengths (233, 273 and 289 inches) and three roof heights (65, 76 and 84 inches). There are five optional cargo bay partitions and four different driver seats, including a suspension seat. All body styles come standard with 16-inch steel wheels, wide-angle mirrors, electronic stability control, tilt/telescoping steering column, automatic climate control, CD radio and cargo bay tie-down points.
The Sprinter Cargo is designed to be customizable for an individual buyer's needs, so a long list of options in � la carte and package form are available. These include cruise control, bi-xenon headlamps, foglamps, automatic headlamps and wipers, power-folding mirrors, 90-percent rear window tint, sliding rear windows, power window vents, a sunroof, heated front seats, a three-passenger second-row seat, several cargo area partitions, a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit and an upgraded sound system with integrated phone connectivity.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2007 Dodge Sprinter Cargo comes standard with a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 making 154 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. It gets fuel economy in the mid-20s, which is dramatically better than its competition. New for 2007 is an optional 3.5-liter gasoline V6 with 254 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. Both engines come standard with a five-speed automatic with an automanual mode. Towing capacity for the 2500 model is 5,000 pounds, while the 3500 model tops out at 7,500.
All Dodge Sprinters come standard with stability control, traction control and antilock disc brakes. Dodge says it specifically tailored the Sprinter's stability control system to compensate for shifting cargo loads and the vehicle's tall center of gravity. Optional safety equipment includes front-seat side and head curtain airbags; front and rear parking sensors; and a rear parking camera.
Interior Design and Special Features
With the exception of the Dodge logo on its steering wheel, the Sprinter's interior is identical to the Mercedes-Benz version sold elsewhere in the world. Build quality is therefore far better than anything else in this class and actually superior to some other Dodge vehicles. Four front seat styles with multiple adjustments ensure decent comfort, and overall ergonomics give the impression of driving an SUV instead of a gigantic van. The old model's city bus steering column has been thankfully replaced with a new tilt/telescoping setup.
With so many body styles and a maximum 600 cubic feet of available cargo space, the Sprinter Cargo is the most versatile work van on the market. Its high and mega roof options (76 and 84 inches respectively) make it possible for drivers to use the Sprinter as a work space while walking upright. Plus, its rear doors that open to 270 degrees, low step-in height and optional dual sliding doors assure unmatched accessibility. Maximum payload is a class-leading 5,770 pounds. Full-width partitions that separate cabin from cargo area include full metal, fixed and sliding windows, sliding doors and a C-pillar partition that allows for an extra row of seats.
Driving Impressions
We have yet to drive the new 2007 Dodge Sprinter Cargo. However, if its previous version is any indication, we fully expect this vehicle to be the best-driving full-size van available. Handling and maneuverability will likely be better than you might expect given its high profile and large size. The only disappointment will likely be engine power. Though both engines are certainly adequate around town, a full load of cargo or gear will overtax the modest capabilities of the engines at higher speeds.

I hope apps become more expensive.
Since taking a job in marketing for an application design and development team company back in august, I have learned what the behind the scenes development looks like for app developers.
I, like many on outside the tech world, thought that developers could create apps in weeks and people could build websites overnight. I have since become educated on the art and delicate precision it takes to create beautiful, engaging, and creative apps.
The amount of time, energy, commitment and perseverance it takes to create these apps is mind boggling. Its only more confusing to me why developers have continued to create great apps and still price them at practically nothing.
Its a vicious circle since I believe it was stemmed from the beginning of apps in which the market was dominated by free and simple games. As the app market grew and more time and development was put in, the quality of apps has sky rocketed. However prices really havent. Consumers laugh at an app that costs 2$-5$ they get for life, when their lunch is over 10$. And 5$ is on the extreme high end for an app outside of the "productivity" category.
In the end I hope developers charge more for their apps. Its the only way the app industry will attract more talent and new ideas by people who can see a profitable result. I dont want to say its all about the money, I just see the quality and time put into some of these apps and would like to see those developers rewarded better for their work.
Am I wrong in believing this?
Yup, people are spoiled.
Well, I've been working on my game for 3 years now, and I'll be damned if I sell it for a dollar!
But I might end up selling it for a buck if sales are terrible...
I'm obviously with the O/P here, bias notwithstanding. I think it's too late though tbh, one dollar is the expected price point and anything more than 3 won't get looked at unless it's a humungous brand. And I'm talking Halo or Pokemon here.
Large sales volumes may make up for it to some extent, but it's risky relying on it - especially with so much good stuff coming out week on week.
iirc, a site takeover for a week is about 10-20K. Something like that.
That means you need a shitload of extra customers from it and I'm not sure how that math works - bloody expensive risk to take even if you have it spare, which most of us indies sadly don't.
It's a toughie for the (I expect large majority of us) indies, sitting somewhere in the full time job but not a big publisher seats.
Advertising is a skill, just like coding, which some developers lack. It isn't just simply going online and mingling with the users.
How will the developer manage his followers when he is challenged by one or more of his posters? What about jealous posters who start rubbishing the rest of the community when he starts to feel neglected by the developer? Or when mischievous posters deliberately cause a rift in the developer's thread?
A seasoned Public Relations practitioner can handle these with ease, and that is why they make big bucks working for politicians and MNCs.
Now, does the developer really want to subject himself to the stress of dealing with all that, or would he choose to focus on his core competency and outsource the rest?
It is his money on the line, so only the developer himself can decide.
Hope you don't mind me in her either, but actually look at Simogo. they price bumpy road and beat sneak bandit at 3$ and they make money (: if your lucky just to get to the front page of toucharcade your sales will boost further. Have some unique art and that's another plus.
Apps won't be more expensive. Market is chief here and market wants freemium apps with additional features. I have worked in ad agency some time ago, made plenty of apps and yes - it took weeks and months. And what. Customer does not care. There is freemium on mobile, PC, consoles. The biggest game at all these days (LoL) is freemium.
Either you learn how to profit on that or you can charge whatever price you want and blame everyone else of not being successful.
x months later said game is permanently at $.99
In the end, you can argue all day about worth, but from a business perspective you've got to do whats best... if that means a $.99 sale (or permanently $.99), I don't think developers should beat themselves up about the vocal minority, or selling their game for 10x less what its worth, IF its the right business choice.
Thankfully, IAPs have been a very nice way to kind of skirt around the whole "race to the bottom" pricing effect. With N.Y.Zombies 2 for ex, 33% of our revenue has been from IAPs (in a non-obtrusive, cheap IAP scheme), with 25% of our total "downloads" being IAPs. You'll hear the vocal minority of people complaining about IAPs in paid games, but its a fact of life for developers now in order to mitigate the fact that they have to charge dirt for their games up front... I'm not saying put in lame IAPs to force spending, but extra unlockable content on the side that costs extra seems to be a great way to make extra $$.
Heck, in the IAP market there is an even greater case for a cheaper cost up front... more people downloading = more opportunities to sell IAPs... and if our numbers are any indication, paid customers are actually MORE likely to get IAPs vs free downloaders, percentage-wise (you already know they are willing to spend money, unlike in free games), as long as they are fair and priced accordingly.
Anyway, I know it sucks but ultimately its up to developers to adapt to the market, and unfortunately the market is only getting cheaper (moving quickly towards freemium) Its already such a different game than it was 2 years ago!
However the sales spikes were worth somewhere in the region of $1-2K over a couple of days, over and above the average sales we were usually getting. After a couple of days, back to normal. So that was a nice one-off boost for sure, but it had practically no effect in terms of long lasting business building.
For discovery purposes, it's basically word of mouth or nothing. (Which is at least free if you can get it working for you.)

Coral Castle Museum
Edward Leedskalnin built Coral Castle in secret; baffling scientists, engineers and scholars since 1923.
As seen on the Travel Channel, History Channel, Ancient Aliens, and the Discovery Channel, the Coral Castle features a 9-ton gate that moves with just a touch of the finger, a Polaris telescope and functioning rocking chairs - all made entirely of stone.
An amazing sight at Coral Castle Florida is that of the megalithic stone structures, weighing several tons each - adding to the mystery of how Ed Leedskalnin managed to build the castle alone.
With each stone resting and being held in place only by its weight people have often wondered how they could have been placed without ever being noticed. Ed Leedskalnin simply claimed to have discovered the secrets of the pyramids.

Lindsay Lohan will not be sitting down with Barbara Walters after all.
Lohan has pulled out of her 20/20 interview, which was scheduled to air on Nov. 16, TVGuide.com has confirmed.
Barbara Walters to interview Lindsay Lohan
According to Deadline, which first reported the news, Lohan's new PR handlers from Rogers & Cowan were the ones who nixed the sit-down. (Lohan's longtime rep, Steve Honig, quit earlier this month.)
Lohan was scheduled to appear on the show to promote her upcoming TV movie Liz & Dick, in which she portrays Elizabeth Taylor.
"We are disappointed that Lindsay canceled the interview and wish her well," an ABC rep told TVGuide.com.
Liz & Dick premieres Sunday, Nov. 25 at 9/8c on Lifetime.

Grizzler - Cubs
The grinning eel folk over at Tiburoni have returned once more, to extend an invitation to you to climb onto the anthropomorphized shoulder of London producer Grizzler, while he drifts through the vast expanse of space and time serenading you with his oddly depth-perceived keyboard, leaving swaths of sharp funk in his wake.
I don't know a single person in this world that has a valid excuse for declining that offer. Also available in nifty Compact Disc form via their bandcamp. Includes remixes from Levon Zoltar and our ever-prolific Italian friend Digi G'Alessio.
I'm finding it difficult to resist the subtle power of suggestion that is beckoning me to buy jaffas right now...

Hi my name is Nesh Sekulic, I have been in the auto industry for over 11 years and am the general manager of Jaguar Land Rover Santa Monica, the only franchised Jaguar and Land Rover dealer in Santa Monica. Located on Santa Monica Blvd, we are near the world famous Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, and the Third Street Promenade. The sun is almost always shining and we are close by great surf breaks. Being centrally located to these great attractions in Santa Monica, I am able to participate in some of my favorite hobbies such as yoga, wine tasting, eating good food and shopping. We support the laid back styles of a low-key, easy going atmosphere. Just walk right in and say hello, no appointment needed.
