Self-silencing cooling fans cancel out their own noise
You hear that? No? I'm surprised. It's the fan noise coming out of my laptop, and it's awful. A company called RotoSub claims that it can make computer fans nearly silent by using the fan blades themselves as an active noise cancellation system.
While RotoSub's tech isn't able to minimize the noise of moving air, it can completely cancel out any mechanical noises made by the fan itself. The way this works is half physics and half black magic, as the fan somehow slightly modulates the angle of attack of its own blades to generate a sound that has "the same phase structure as the noise, the same position, and radiation pattern," except inverse. Essentially, it works the same way that noise canceling headphones do, except inside a fan. And it seems to really work:
While this poor little demo is just of a teeny 80 mm CPU cooling fan, the fundamental technology inside it can be scaled up to any size you want, from air conditioners to ceiling fans all the way up to aircraft turbine engines, and apparently, an unnamed aircraft engine manufacturer has already expressed some interest. For its part, RotoSub isn't actually interested in producing any hardware themselves, but they'll happily license out its technology to anyone who is.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Dayton Fire Department Graduates 23 Recruits
DAYTON -- A class of 23 recruits completing the Dayton Fire Department training program have become Dayton's newest firefighters following a graduation ceremony Friday morning. The ceremony was held at Sinclair Community College's Charity Earley Auditorium.
The firefighters were sworn-in by City Manager Tim Riordan; elected officials and firefighter families were present. The class consists of the following graduates, who are now certified as Level II firefighters in Ohio:
Andrews, Ashton T.
Ashley, Rusty C.

Shropshire, Troy N.
Sparks, Travis A.
Waugh, Joshua T.
Wilcox, Derrick M.
Yinger, Morgan L.
*Honor Graduate
At the beginning of the ceremony, the Department promoted Firefighter Nicholas W. Judge to the rank of Lieutenant. Judge began his career with the Dayton Fire Department in 2006 and is certified as a paramedic, fire safety inspector and EMS instructor. He has received two certificates of commendation as well as the Departments LifeSaver Award in 2009 for actions at emergency scenes.
The Fire Department also plans to present its most recently acquired firefighting equipment and a skills demonstration at the Fire Training Center, 200 McFadden Ave. The new equipment will be presented at 12:45 p.m., and the skills demonstration will follow at 1 p.m.
The new equipment consists of two new engines, both 2013 HME 1500 GPM (gallons per minute) models. They will be assigned to Station 16 (4111 Kings Highway) and Station 17 (4118 W. Third St.), were purchased at a cost of $375,000 each and paid for with capital funding and debt financing. As a result of adding the new engines, two 20-year-old engines will be placed in reserve status, and two 24-year-old units will leave the fleet.

WASHINGTON, December 4, 2013 — Now that the country has had some time to mull over the Iran Nuclear Deal which has come out of the recent E5+1 conference, it has obviously received mixed reactions among many Americans. Republicans, who are eager to exploit waning Obama approval ratings, denounce the deal as making America weaker and sacrificing the security of Israel. Democrats, many eager to put one in then the old W column are touting this as a big win for the Obama Administration's foreign policy.
One, if the Republicans play this right and chances are that they won't, it could be a serious defeat for the Democrats who are scurrying away from the sinking ship that is the Affordable Healthcare Act-Tanic. Second, President Obama does not really have a tangible foreign policy.
It's true, he doesn't.
If you go on the Whitehouse.gov site and click on issues and then foreign policy, it would appear that the quotes summarizing the American stance towards World regions has not been updated since 2011. But many of you are probably thinking, that's because our President is strong and has not wavered since 2011. Well many would argue against that saying, in an ever changing and fluid World of foreign policy failure to change with the times and evolve your policy statements to reflect the most current events is a sign of not really giving much of a damn.
And why should he? There have been plenty of problems to deal with at home. The ACA rollout has been a disaster, but don't worry it's the Republicans fault for remaining intransigent during the rollout process even though the development of the website by a private contractor had nothing to do with Congressional Republicans.
Which brings us to Iran.
So why Iran, and why now?
President Obama needs a win, and opening up negotiations with Iran can be seen as a step in the right direction to some people towards welcoming them back into the global embrace with open arms. However many, many people don't see how allowing Iran to continue to march towards the bomb while WE pay THEM to do it is a victory for anyone but Iran and the terrorist organizations they support.
Iran has always responded to the threat of military force, and while President Bush was never afraid to use that threat, President Obama is more politically handicapped by a potential prolonged war with Iran than his predecessor. Despite the fact that President Obama has launched military operations in Libya, as well as smuggled arms to undermine the Assad Government in Syria, he cannot afford a war with Iran, and Iran knows it. What's more Russia knows it.
Has Putin put the pressure on Obama to ease up on Iran?
Iran is not Libya, or Syria, it is home to a formidable military and has the backing of Russia and distantly, China. President Putin knows President Obama is weak on foreign policy, the old spymaster has the American President pegged at every turn. It is possible that Putin has urged Iran to come to the peace table to talk, because he is aware that President Obama is eager to look good in the eyes of the World, and certainly easing economic restrictions on Iran would cause garlands of flowers and wreaths to rain down on him from atops the highest mountain peaks! But no, it wouldn't. It may rain nuclear fire, but not flowers.
President Obama's foreign policy seems to be "apologize for our past mistakes" and he wants to be seen as the great humanitarian who lifted the restrictions on Iran and allowed for their people to flourish. That's all well and good, but if in doing so you allow Iran to secretly, or not, enrich uranium then it has the potential to destabilize the entire region, it will put our closest regional ally in danger, and it will exponentially increase the probability of nuclear material winding up in the hands of America's enemies and terrorist organizations.
Not to mention that the President is out of touch with his own Defense Department; in 2012 then SecDef Panetta said that Iran was not developing nuclear weapons though one day they might. Then not six months later President Obama comes out and says that Iran is a year away from getting the bomb. Understandably intelligence gathering and new information can change the stance of any administration in a particular defense issue, but going from "they don't have it" to "not only do they have it but it's gonna be here for next Christmas…" does not a happy Administration make.
And how does it make sense to threaten war on Iran's allies in Syria, but then allow them to grow stronger through nuclear development and severely diminished economic sanctions?
Iran is using the fear of the bomb that they might be able to achieve through their nuclear program as a bargaining chip with the West. They develop nuclear energy, that they don't need, we get scared that they will turn it into a weapon, they use that fear to leverage it into relaxed economic sanctions, and when they continue to develop the bomb and we hammer them for it we look like the big bad imperialist US government here to go back on the deal we made. All this does is make us weaker as a nation, and put our allies at risk. Iran feels that Obama has no stomach for threat of force, and as a result they believe that NOW is the time to push for the lifting of sanctions.
This is backwards. The President of the United States was more than willing to risk boots on the ground in Syria if the Arab League paid for it over President Assad allegedly crossing an imaginary line in the sand, than he is willing to appear tough on Iran, a nation who has sworn to destroy Israel, several times. They have called for Israel's destruction constantly. If there is a blackout in an apartment building, or a high ranking official gets a splinter, Iran blames Israel and vows their destruction, it won't take much to set them off.
America should be wary of this deal. It is nothing more than President Obama seeking to score a political win at home, and appear to be the benign leader of the free World in the eyes of the Global community. Iran will now have more money to develop their nuclear program, that they don't need, in order to eventually become a nuclear power and attack Israel, who they do not like.
Iran is laughing at us, in an effort to appease Iran and supposedly stall their nuclear ambitions, the President and the E5+1 has played the part of Chamberlain and gave the fox the keys to the hen house. An Iran free to enrich Uranium for any purpose is an Iran that poses a threat to the World.

Polluting waste incinerator near local community in East Liverpool.
Society continues to generate more waste and to change this
alarming trend; strong political and industrial measures are
urgently needed.
Despite what industry and governments would like people to
believe,incineration is not a solution to the world's waste
problems, but partof the problem.
Incinerators may reduce the volume of solid waste, but they do
notdispose of the toxic substances contained in the waste. They
create thelargest source of dioxins, which is one of the most toxic
chemicalsknown to science.
Incinerators emit a wide range of pollutants in their stack
gases,ashes and other residues. The filters used to clean
incinerator stackgases produce solid and liquid toxic wastes, which
also need to bedisposed.
The only way to improve the situation is to avoid toxic waste
production by improving our products and processes.
Public opposition to incineration
isgrowing worldwide. People are recognising that there is no place
forthe incineration of waste in a sustainable society.

James is a reigning MVP who at age 24 needs only a championship to complete his resume.
O'Neal, 37, is a larger-than-life personality who may be past the prime of his career but remains an undeniable force and hungers for a fifth NBA title.
The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired O'Neal from the Phoenix Suns in hopes he can help LeBron James deliver this seemingly sports-cursed city its first major pro championship in 45 years.
The deal creates a tandem that instantly rivals any in sports today and calls to mind some of the great duos in NBA history: Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bob Cousy and Bill Russell, Shaq himself and Kobe Bryant.
LeBron's happiness the key
More important, if Cleveland's gamble works and O'Neal delivers a title, it could keep James around.
James is an Akron native, knows Cleveland's pained sports history and has always maintained he wants to stay in his home state, though there is no guarantee he will sign an extension with the Cavs.
Cleveland can offer him one as early as this summer.
Hours before an NBA draft that figured to be overshadowed by the Shaq-to-the-Cavs move, the reality of James playing with O'Neal, a 15-time All-Star, was just sinking in.
"Shaq is an incredible ballplayer and a four-time NBA champion,'' James said in a statement sent to The Associated Press.
"I have a lot of respect for him and his game. It will be a real honour to play with Shaq as my teammates and I look forward to another great season with the Cavs.''
The Cavs sent center Ben Wallace and swingman Sasha Pavlovic to the Suns, along with a second-round pick in the 2010 draft and $500,000 in cash, for O'Neal, the 7-foot-1 center who won three straight titles from 2000 to 2002 with Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.
His fourth title came with Dwyane Wade in Miami in 2006.
O'Neal expecting a laugh
"I was elated about the trade because I get to play with one of the greatest players to ever play the game in LeBron James,'' O'Neal said during ESPN's draft telecast.
He expects "a lot of fun, a lot of just having a good time and a lot of smiling, and a lot of winning.''
The teams first talked about a deal in February but couldn't work out an agreement before the deadline, a missed opportunity that cost the Cavaliers in this year's playoffs when they had no answer inside for Orlando center Dwight Howard in the Eastern Conference finals.
After the Cavaliers were eliminated with a Game 6 loss, a frustrated James stormed off the floor in Orlando without shaking the hands of any Magic players, including Howard, his U.S. Olympic teammate.
Cleveland general manager Danny Ferry and Phoenix GM Steve Kerr, former teammates and close friends, never closed the book on the O'Neal deal and finally reached an agreement early Thursday morning.
Ferry completed the deal because he wants to win a title. Now.
"Our goals are aligned with what our players want, including LeBron, and that's to win a championship and win it next year,'' Ferry said. "We don't want to be patient.''
The Cavaliers didn't expect to find immediate help in this year's draft, and selected raw forward Christian Eyenga from the Republic of Congo with the final pick (No. 30) in the first round.
The 20-year-old Eyenga played in Spain last season.
Cleveland used the No. 46 pick on North Carolina forward Danny Green, who played more games than anyone in school history.
Cleveland then purchased the No. 57 pick from Phoenix and selected Turkey's Emir Preldzic, who can play both guard positions and small forward.
For sheer celebrity value, the O'Neal-James tandem is as captivating as any on the sports landscape.
And if it works, and lasts, the pairing may one day belong in the same company as some of the all-time combinations: Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris, Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale, Joe Montana and Jerry Rice.
For now, the Cavaliers, who came up short this year despite winning 66 regular-season games and their first eight playoff games, are only thinking of unseating the Lakers as champions next June.
Failed Phoenix experiment
O'Neal is coming off an All-Star season with the Suns, averaging 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds in 75 games, but there were times he clogged Phoenix's high-powered offense under coaches Mike D'Antoni, Terry Porter and Alvin Gentry.
Still, the 7-foot-1, 325-pounder can be a defensive stopper.
"He's a wall around the basket, a tall, long wall,'' Ferry said.
The Shaq experiment failed in Phoenix.
The Suns won one playoff game in O'Neal's season and a half, and this spring the Suns failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2004.
Ferry, who said O'Neal's arrival could push Zydrunas Ilgauskas out as a starter, is convinced O'Neal will be able to adjust to Cleveland and vice versa.
"Phoenix played a different way when they had him,'' he said. "It was a drastic change. We're more of a half-court team. We play more of the tempo that fits Shaq's game.''
The Suns got little in return for O'Neal, but the deal gives them financial flexibility in the future.
All told, they will save $10 million.

You are not hot shit. Nobody is. Not you, not I, not Mystery, not Style, not the Simple Pickup boys. Yes, some of these individuals enjoy greater regularity of success with women than others, and some possess a greater understanding of what exactly is happening in the seduction process, but not one bit of that makes one individual better than the other.
We are in the business of self-improvement. By virtue of being on this forum, you are acknowledging that along with the experiences and perspectives you can share for the betterment of others, you also possess the humility to accept that you might be able to learn from them, see value in their experiences, and potentially better yourself based on what they have to say.
When I joined the community, I was the perpetual "friend". My focus in reading material, posting on forums and most importantly practising these skills has always been honest and introspective, and I am thankful for that, as it has allowed me to make tremendous progress to the point at which I have my own experience and value to share with others. We all set out on this journey as relative beginners, myself especially, and the goal for everyone is to continue to grow to a certain desired level of success and proficiency in our interactions with women.
This is the last place in the world to brag. Even the most needy and self-sabotaging beginner is not as pathetic as the guy who has an inflated ego based on his own in-field successes, post count, fancy forum titles and powers, rep count, forum reputation etc. I have had many experiences with individuals on either side of the equation, which has made it very clear to me that an individual's internal approach and the role of humility and ego in the self-improvement process can greatly influence the success he enjoys.
If you are going to contribute to this sort of community, the first thing to do is to get rid of your ego, grow some humility and go from there.
This is step one, in my opinion the most important step in truly "getting good with women".
Cheers lads,

Country music star Randy Travis is out of the hospital three weeks after he was admitted with congestive heart failure and later suffered a stroke.
A statement Wednesday said Travis had been discharged from The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano near Dallas, where he'd been admitted July 7.
The statement from publicist Kirt Webster went on to say Travis had been moved to a physical therapy center for further treatment for a stroke he suffered July 10.
The 54-year-old singer developed the heart failure due to a viral illness. The stroke prompted surgeons to operate to relieve pressure on his brain.

It snowed while I was working, so I didn't see the ice under the snow as I was walking to my car.
My left hip and upper back kind of hurts now but LO is moving like usual, no cramping or bleeding/leaking so far. I am sure I will feel it in the morning though.
Of course, the wind is blowing the snow around like crazy, practically white out conditions right now and my husband is at work, perfect set up for Murphy's Law.
I am going to take a coupe tylenol and try to get some sleep.

HOUSTON (Bloomberg) -- Light Louisiana Sweet strengthened relative to West Texas Intermediate as U.S. oil inventories were projected to rise to a three-month high, sending futures for the U.S. benchmark to the lowest level since June. LLS, the light, sweet benchmark on the Gulf Coast, strengthened by 50 cents to a premium of $2.50 a barrel to WTI at 3:50 p.m., according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It's the highest level since Oct. 14.
U.S. crude inventories rose by 3 million barrels, or 0.8 percent, to 377.5 million in the week ended Oct. 18, based on the median of 10 analyst estimates in a Bloomberg survey. That would be the highest level since June 28.
WTI for December delivery fell 1.4 percent to $98.30. The premium for European benchmark Brent over WTI rose to $11.67 a barrel, the highest level since April 15. Gulf crudes typically follow the WTI-Brent spread, because they compete against foreign oils priced against Brent for space in U.S. refineries.
Heavy Louisiana Sweet's premium over WTI rose by 45 cents to $1.25 a barrel. Thunder Horse crude strengthened by 65 cents to a 20-cent-a-barrel premium.
Mars Blend's discount narrowed by 65 cents to $2.75 a barrel. Poseidon crude strengthened by 60 cents to a $3.30-a- barrel discount. Crude from the Southern Green Canyon gained 75 cents to a $6 discount.

The United States is in the midst of its most expensive election season ever.
It is not what Washington pundits mean when they say that this year's presidential race will be won or lost on the economy.
Nonetheless, almost $6bn will be spent trying to get Republican and Democratic candidates into office.
Virtually unlimited cash can buy many things - hundreds of hours of television advertising, automated phone calls, a really big party. But who is paying? And what is the price exacted of the country's democracy?
There are three months left until voting day.
And Sebastian Walker and the Fault Lines team travel from the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, to examine the spectacle being broadcast on US screens.
So what its worth for those who find themselves outside the political arena?

WWE main event wrestler Randy Orton tweeted that his signature "Punt" move has been banned by WWE. Tweeted Orton, "The punt has been banned. 'Concussional' awareness."
Tags: randy orton, WWE
What about ryders boot or the brogue kick??
Seriously, there are at least a dozen WWE wrestlers who currently use a finishing move which involves blunt trauma to the head intended to render the victim unconscious, including both current world champions.
I'm guessing it's less about avoiding concussions, and more about not trivializing concussions by not having a move that intentionally gives people concusions (that some people just no sell and show up the next night as if it's no big deal).
Ryan I think you hit the nail on the head (no pun intended).
I think it has more to do with the storyline punt that sent Jericho away for a while, seeing as Y2J is now in a revenge feud with Orton.

John III of Portugal
John III (João III Portuguese pronunciation: [ʒuˈɐ̃w̃]; 7 June 1502 – 11 June 1557) was the King of Portugal and the Algarves from 13 December 1521 to 11 June 1557, the second monarch of the new House of Aviz-Beja. He was the son of King Manuel I and Maria of Aragon, the third daughter of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile. John succeeded his father in 1521, at the age of nineteen. During his rule, Portuguese possessions were extended in Asia and in the New World through the Portuguese colonization of Brazil. John III's policy of reinforcing Portugal's bases in India (such as Goa) secured Portugal's monopoly over the spice trade of cloves from the Moluccas and nutmeg from the Banda Islands, as a result of which John III has been called the "Grocer King". On the eve of his death in 1557, the Portuguese empire spanned almost 1 billion acres (about 4 million square kilometers). During his reign, the Portuguese became the first Europeans to make contact with both China, under the Ming Dynasty, and Japan, during the Muromachi period. He abandoned Muslim territories in North Africa in favor of trade with India and investment in Brazil. In Europe, he improved  ( Wikipedia article )

Learn overview
The projects that make up the Valley of Visions Landscape Partnership Scheme present a range of opportunities for people to become involved in the unique culture, landscape and heritage of the Medway Gap.
In order to exploit these opportunities fully a programme of comprehensive training is being offered free of charge to those who live or work within the area. The courses are far ranging and span from practical countryside skills to cultural, creative and interpretive work.
We have learning opportunities that will benefit community groups, young people, schools, colleges and local businesses as well as the countryside staff of the area. These opportunities are designed to give people the chance to discover and develop their interests and give them the desire and motivation to engage with their landscape and heritage. The long term aim is for local people to want and be able to maintain, conserve, enhance and participate in the decisions that affect their local area.
We have a wide range of volunteering opportunities both directly with Valley of Visions and with our partners so why not have a closer look and see how you can get involved. In 2010 we are launching our Medway Mosaics project, we need plenty of volunteers to get out and about in their local village and recording heritage features. we have a range of events and training to support this project so come along and join in.

The office & the factory
I've been thinking alot about the differences of various businesses I've been involved with. I invested the formative years of my business life working in consumers goods companies. Classic fast moving consumer goods companies that thrived through industrial revolution and then boomed during the TV industrial complex.
I've since invested most of my time in service based internet businesses, startups and advertising. They both have relative advantages and disadvantages that I only ever realised once I had time to digest the dynamics in each of them. The most interesting observation I've made is the difference when the office and the factory are the same thing. This occurs in service / web based business. In consumer goods the office and factory tend to be separated.
The key advantage that the consumer goods scenario has is that the office is not linked to output. It creates time for thinking. The immediate concerns of what needs to ship today are somewhat removed. The urgent, doesn't get in the way of the important. Yet, the challenge here is that we can become out of touch with how things work.
The key disadvantage of the service scenario (office is the factory), is we don't have as much time to think and consider. There is always something that needs to be created, done or fixed. Over time our mental flexibility declines as we get absorbed in shipping what we make and meeting deadlines. Yes, we know what is happening, but we get too close to it. We lose vision and creativity via also 'being' the production process.
The important thing for startups and marketers alike is to know which environment we are operating in, and to work real hard on the area of disadvantage.
Promote yourself
I often wonder whether or not advertising on work cars is a good idea. Especially given it is in many ways one of the negative sides of business – distribution, busy road, pullution. It might remind consumers that the brand is part of a large corporate monolith. You get the picture. But I'm starting to think this is different for startups.
Firstly, we're only likely to have one or two vehicles out on the road. Secondly, it's a good way to create brand awareness cheaply. A colleague of mine who has started a beverage company Jarritos Mexican soda has done just this. At a cost of $2000, he's invented $50,000 worth of advertising. Which is what branded cars cost via media agencies. See below.
The key element to doing this successfully is making sure the vehicle and advertising matches the brand. For example, an environmentally friendly business should really only partake in such branding if it's prepared to invest in hybrid / electric vehicles.
Would you advertise your startup on your car? In addition is there an opportunity to start a business branding civilian cars and in doing so helping the general population pay for their transport?
When we get big
There are many things we'll implement when we get big enough. When our footprint is big enough to deserve the investment of the bigger, game changing idea. When we achieve X, we'll implement Y.
Maybe we ought implement Y now and skip X altogether?
Selling a vision
Aj Kulatunga of Dream Build Inspire Lead asked me via twitter the following question:
Quick advice. #1 Tip for selling a vision ?
So I thought it was worth sharing the answer here because the answer had to be delivered in less than 140 characters.
It's about their vision, not yours. You need to demonstrate what's in it for them. Not you. Let them own it. Perceived co creation.
The Thomas Edison Strategy
In business, demand is invariably more important than supply. If demand doesn't exist, supply is irrelevant. If demand exists, supply will eventuate.
I happened upon a quote from one of the greatest inventors / entrepreneurs in history Thomas Edison. Despite the simplicity of the idea, it's very profound.
"I find out what the world needs, and then I proceed to invent it."
This is some pretty good advice for any entrepreneur. It's better to make what you can sell, than try to sell what you can make.
Startup Idea Generation
This is the second of my crowd sourced blog entry ideas as suggested by Aj Kulatunga. Aj wanted some basic suggestions on how to develop an idea to start a business.
First of all I start by saying, the idea is not nearly as important as people think it is. The problem with a new idea is that we need to go the effort of education people, building a new supply chain and inventing demand. Sometimes 'selling potatoes' is a better option. That said, I've been asked to give inspiration for idea generation – so here are the Sammartino methods.
The law of the opposite:
Equal and opposite version of existing successful products / markets / services.
Not from here:
Bringing stuff from elsewhere to this market and positioning it as such. Usually imported or licensed version.
The Nth:
The more intense version of something. More power, ingredients, recognition. The Nth degree. For example red Bull is really an Nth version of coca cola. More intense energy hit. Hummer is also an Nth 4 wheel drive / SUV.
Idea Borrowing:
Local versions of overseas success. Quickly adapting successful ideas for overseas markets. Although these days you have to be very quick. That said, it is easier to find them out via websites such as springwise.
The unexpected version:
Eg Extreme Sour Lollies
Selling Potatoes:
Nothing new, existing idea, existing industry, with large existing demand. But must have low barriers to entry. But do it better, try harder, with amazing customer service levels.
Gourmet / Natural version
Has happened a lot in the grocery / supermarket categories. Entrepreneurs have taken advantage in categories like Juice and yogurt.
Extraction method
Take a tiny part of a successful and existing business and just do a micro niche of it. Twitter is this for Facebook. Just taking the status update part.
Danger of trophy Ideas – This link
Your friends & family don't care
Seriously, your friends and family don't care about your startup. They don't have to. Sure they might pretend to care, but mostly they'll wish you luck and get on with their lives.
Of all of my family members, only one has ever listed an item for rent on my website rentoid.com At first this surprised me. I thought that having a very broad target audience, they'd like it and get involved. They didn't. So why we feel the need to seed our new startup with family and friends is beyond me. It's really a waste of time. If they don't like what we do, we'll be offended. If they don't buy what we sell, we'll be offended. The feedback is less like to be honest than from a stranger. And most of all we are not going to get rich selling to our family and friends.
Startup blog advice is this: Go direct to your real market. Family and friends rarely, if ever, hold they key to startup success. So why delay the start of said success by launching to them?
Startup Survival
In nature, with every second something lives for, it's probability of continued life increases exponentially.
The lessons for startups is simple, do the stuff that keeps you alive longest. And the most important thing we can do for our startup is keep our costs low. Low cost operations gives us the advantage of time. And time is the most important asset when it comes to working out our business model. Not capital, not technology, not employees, not research. Just time.

Reck, B. K. et al. Challenges in Metal Recycling. Science 10 August 2012 Vol 337 # 6095 pp. 690-695
Bloodworth, A. Track flows to manage technology-metal supply. Recycling cannot meet the demand for rare metals used in digital and green technologies. Nature 2 Jan 2014 Vol 505 pp 19-20
"…modern technology has produced a conundrum: The more intricate the product and the more diverse the materials set it uses, the better it is likely to perform, but the more difficult it is to recycle so as to preserve the resources that were essential to making it work in the first place."
With infinite amounts of energy, money, and time metals could be recycled. But in the real world it doesn't happen due to the thermodynamics of separation, poor recycling technologies, product design, and social behavior.
Reck writes in Science: Less than 1% of 34 metals (many of them very rare) are recycled. These metals are essential to microchips, solar PV, consumer electronics — pretty much all high-tech products. It's thermodynamically impossible to recover many of them. Also it's very expensive and energy-intensive, since they're used in such small amounts for extremely precise purposes, and co-mingled with other rare metals.
Bloodworth writes in Nature: "Although recycling is important for managing stocks of common industrial metals, its application to technology metals is more complex. Some materials are impractical or impossible to retrieve after use….Recycling has technical limits. From mobile phones to motor vehicles, technology metals are used in myriad applications. Up to 60 different elements go into the manufacture of microprocessors and circuit boards (Gunn), usually in tiny quantities and often in combinations not found in nature. Metals such as tantalum, gallium, germanium, and rare-earth elements are oxidized and effectively lost in the smelter slag (Hageluken)."
The need to recycle is obvious — only by doing so can the life of these resources be extended to future generations (since ores continue to be of lower and lower grades that need more energy to extract at the same time as oil, coal, and natural gas are diminishing).
Recycling could save as much as a factor of 10 to 20 in energy consumption.
The most commonly recycled metals are also the cheapest and most abundant on the planet, such as steel, aluminum, copper, zinc, lead, and nickel, with rates often over 50%. This high recovery rate is due to their presence in relatively pure form in large amounts in products. But even these are reused 2 or 3 times before being lost to landfills.
Even the valuable precious metals only have a recycling rate of 60%, and there's only a 50% recovery of platinum, palladium, and rhodium from auto catalytic converters because so many old cars are exported to developing countries that don't have recovery technology. And for the same reason, when it comes to the platinum group metals in electronics, the rate is even lower, just 5 to 10%.
Many of these metals are highly toxic to plants and animals, yet they're recycled at very low rates. One of the worst, cadmium, is mainly recycled from nickel-cadmium batteries, but a very low rates. Mercury recovery is at best 10-20% from fluorescent light bulbs. Ecotoxicity from metal-containing nanomaterials is also a problem.
Even when attempts are made to recycle, material is lost all along the way:
Initial collection: a fraction of overall electronic equipment is turned into recycling centers, the percent depends on social and government factors
Recycling centers: much of the electronic waste is sent to countries that have inadequate recycling facilities
Preprocessing & Sorting – some components are too much effort to take apart, so they're discarded. Nor is there enough material to justify the cost of machine recycling technology.
Recycling technology: Usually just shredding, crushing, magnetic sorting is done. It's too expensive to recover even more with lasers, near-infrared, or x-ray sorting.

A Park Slope restaurant specializes in whole, roasted pigs and uses all the parts in its pulled pork barbecue. Edible magazine's Rachel Wharton filed the following report.
At Fort Reno restaurant in Park Slope, Brooklyn, chef Terrie Mangrum shows NY1 how to break down a whole pig.
"Because we're a whole-hog barbecue restaurant, we literally use the whole hog unless we're going to run a special. Then we'll try and cut out some chops or something like that. But we really use the entire pig, we smoke the entire pig from head to foot, and that goes in our pulled pork barbecue," says Mangrum.
Once the porker is in parts, Mangrum adds seasoning. The legs get paprika, chipotle, coriander, cumin and fennel seed, while the head gets a brown sugar cure laced with black peppercorns and arbol chilies.
The meat is smoked overnight over local hickory and applewood and then shredded together and pan-fried in its own juicy pork fat. That goes into the pulled pork sandwich, which comes with pickles and slaw.
On September 1, Mangrum will be serving a similar dish on Governor's Island, when 25 chefs will be cooking whole pigs at an event called "Pig Island."
The event is part of a current trend toward buying whole animals. Like many local chefs, Mangrum became her own butcher for quality control.
"You see the animal. You know there's no bruises and it hasn't been mistreated and is raised in a proper way," says Mangrum. "You can cut whatever you want to cut out of it, cook whatever you want to cook out of it. If you want to have chops then you can cut your own chops, instead of getting a hot mess from somebody else."
Though, unlike most local cooks, Mangrum has a lifetime of experience with whole pigs.
"So I'm originally from Tennessee. I grew up on a farm, a tobacco farm, but we did raise pigs. And I've cooked barbecue since I was young myself," says Mangrum. "I moved up here to New York over 20 years ago and have been cooking Southern food since I came up here, since before people really wanted to have it."
So catch Mangrum showing off her skills with swine on Pig Island.

Plastics Technology
Slicing Up the Competition
Commercial foodservice equipment maker Berkel Company is slicing away at the competition with the introduction of its new food slicers that are primarily made of plastic.
Berkel Company's new X13 manual gravity and X13A automatic gravity food slicers have ditched the traditionally used metal parts. Instead, IDI International Composites helped provide custom for a majority of its parts, including the product table, housing and handles for a more durable bulk molding compound (BMC) instead. The slicer also features a 1/2 horsepower motor and 13-inch knife that allows for a slice thickness of up to 1-5/16 inch (34 mm).
In an effort to increase the sanitary operation of its food slicers, Berkel (South Bend, Indiana, U.S.) decided to diverge from the traditionally used metal materials and integrate thermoset composites instead.
Todd Clem, business unit manager, says the decision came after the company conducted research on the cleaning time of its food slicers. The results indicated that it took more than 90 minutes to clean a slicer and that a slicer contained eight to 11 harborage points for bacteria. These points, according to Clem, are created by bolting or welding stainless steel or aluminum together, thus making them virtually impossible to sanitize.
"That drove us to the plastic design, because we could take, for instance, the meat table that has anywhere between seven and 14 parts welded or bolted together, and literally make it a single, one-piece molded unit," Clem tells APPLIANCE. Additionally, he says the company was able to relocate certain controls more easily with the use of composite materials compared to the use of metal.
The first step in the metal-to-plastic transition was finding a molder that could provide the presses needed to mold the large components. Once found, Berkel focused on finding a company to provide the raw materials for the project. The company says it chose IDI Composites International (Noblesville, Indiana, U.S.) because IDI understood what Berkel wanted to achieve and worked to provide a custom solution that fill the bill—both physically and cosmetically.
Gary Littell, application development engineer for IDI, says thermoset bulk molding compounds (BMCs) were ideal for the project due to the rigidity of the material. "Thermosets have physical attributes that can be obtained at relatively low cost compared to an engineered thermoplastic, and certainly compared to metal," he says.
The rigidity, Littell says, is achieved because of a molecular difference. Thermosets contain covalent bonds (bonds between carbon and oxygen) and are cross-linked, ultimately making the material strong. This is opposed to thermoplastics, which contain ionic bonds (bonds between negative and positive ions) and are more loosely held together. "Chemistry is very simple, yet very effective," Littell says.
With a molder and material provider set, Berkel started work on deciding what components would be changed and, more importantly, how. Clem says the company knew it wanted to change the product table on the slicer based on the high amount of harborage points for bacteria. This decision then led to the slicer's housing due to its large size and different, complex angles, Clem explains. "We didn't want to go to a straight aluminum casting," he says. "The plastic was going to be a much more sanitary surface to clean than anything we could have done in metal."
Part by part, Berkel evaluated whether there was reason to switch to a composite material or not. The company decided to switch the pusher head of the unit into an overmolded handle that features a stainless steel rod underneath. This was done to maintain the weight needed for quality operation, while still increasing the sanitary levels.
Both Berkel and IDI agree that sanitary operation is improved with the use of thermosets on the slicers, but an added benefit was the ability to reduce the number of components used as well. At the end of the project, Berkel reduced the number of components on its X13 manual gravity and X13A automatic gravity food slicers by 40 percent—a natural benefit of using molded parts, as it eliminates the need for post-machining.
Berkel says another added benefit of choosing IDI was their attention to detail, especially aesthetics. "They were able to understand what we were trying to achieve and worked in getting us the materials that had the right look," Clem says. "A lot of effort went into getting the right color scheme and the right resins to be able to actually mold well in the casting."
The composite material, in addition to its rigidity and sanitary benefits, also features flame resistance (UL 94 5V-approved) around machined parts and maintains tight tolerances and clearances. According to IDI, BMCs also will not degrade from exposure to sanitizers and cleaners, or acids and proteins from food.
Berkel's newly designed feed slicers started shipping in March 2006, but that's not putting a stop to the company's relationship with IDI. In fact, the two companies are currently working on modifying even more parts of the slicers to a BMC. Plans are already underway to change the ring guard, which goes around the non-slicing portion of the knife and around bottom, back and top of the unit, to an overmolded BMC part instead of aluminum.
As for whether or not the use of thermosets will travel to Berkel's other products, including its economy and mid-tier slicers, Clem says he can't confirm anything, but will say it is on the agenda.
Either way, Clem says the relationship IDI has been successful in meeting its goals, but the hard work isn't over with yet. He says the next challenge is showing its customers the advantages of BMCs that it's already realized.
"Any time you move the bar as far as we did, you're going to have your work cut out for you," Clem tells APPLIANCE. "The job that we have now is to prove that our materials have a long-term durability and resistance than the alternate materials do. That is what we are up against and we are doing well. We'll just continue cutting away at the competition."

Build me a gibbet against the sky,
Solid and strong and long miles high,

See me swaying to and fro,

In an exclusive interview with NY1, mayoral candidate Christine Quinn tonight rips into two of her Democratic rivals, saying Bill de Blasio is "desperate" while Bill Thompson was "asleep at the switch" when he served as city comptroller.
Speaking with NY1 political anchor Errol Louis, Quinn fired back at de Blasio, the city's public advocate who has been hammering Quinn for weeks for her record as City Council speaker.
"Bill de Blasio is desperate. He is stuck in the bottom of the polls and he's desperately, and quite frankly, sadly attacking an institution I'm incredibly proud of — an institution he was a member of and in the leadership of for eight years," Quinn said.
De Blasio has accused Quinn of working too closely with Mayor Michael Bloomberg — a charge Quinn threw back at her opponent's face in the interview.
"I'll put my record of working towards consensus and — when I couldn't — standing up independently against anybody's. You attack other people's records, Errol, when you don't have your own," Quinn said.
The speaker was also was highly critical of Thompson's role in a scandal involving the city's automated payroll system known as CityTime, seizing on a Daily News report that Thompson didn't red-flag a suspect contract.
"His most basic responsibility is to audit. He didn't do that. He was asleep at the switch and first started taking responsibility and now is blaming other people when he let $700 million basically go right under his nose. That's a record he has to defend and stop blaming other people," Quinn said.
For the first time, Quinn also said that she was certain that there will be a Democratic runoff primary — but refused to speculate who she will face off against.

Hi Ladies,
I'm a little confused and looking for some insight, I am not sure if I should be calling my dr. or if I am just a worry wart. I started spotting Saturday (03/03) on CD 32 I normally start on CD 33 or 38 so I wasn't too surprised this was the month of my shorter cycle anyways. AF came on Sunday, she was a little on the lighter side but still normal. I went to work Monday morning, and when I got home 8 hrs later I realized that I hadn't bled since about 10 that morning. I had a bit more bleeding that night but nothing major. Then nothing. I've spotted a bit of brownish blood but nothing. I normally have AF for around 4-6 days but never this short.
I've been feeling really sick, and very tired (I've had to nap), but I haven't tested because I didn't think that I needed to. Has anyone else has such a short AF? Is this normal or should I be worried? I'm seeing my dr. if I don't get pregnant this March cycle as it will have been 10 months that we've been trying since my D&C and I just want to make sure that everything is ok.
Any advice would be great, sorry if this was TMI

Death in Kentucky
I am trying to find information on my Grandfather, Wilson Cole. He had a very short life span. He was born in Magoffin Co., Ky in 1893 and died in Floyd County, Ky in 1936. Do you have any suggestion on how to find some one who died young? He was killed on the train tracks. -- Charlene
A: It is likely that you can find information in the death certificate for Wilson COLE. While he had a short life, he died after Kentucky began keeping track of deaths through death certificates. Their is an online Index to Deaths for Kentucky. A search of this will supply you with the pertinent information needed to request a copy of Wilson Cole's death certificate.
Once you have searched the database, you can write and request a copy of the
death record, which will cost $6.00, from:
Department for Health Services
Office of Vital Statistics
275 East Main Street
Frankfort, KY 40621
Also, because of the nature of the death, you will want to look at newspapers for the city or area where the accident took place. You may find a detailed biography or other information about Wilson in the newspaper.
Junior or The Second
A couple of friends and I got on the discussion of naming conventions
(I, II, III, Sr., Jr.) and I need clarification on something. My name
is John Smith II and my dad's name is John Smith I. Does
that mean that technically I am a Junior? Because, he was always very
avid about me not being a Junior but instead the 2nd. Can you clear
this up for me? -- Dave
Actually both methods are fine. In most families you will find that
when John Smith has a son and names him John Smith, that the son becomes
John Smith, Jr., and the father becomes John Smith, Sr. However, when
you are researching prior to the 1900s, these naming distinctions may
not refer to familial relationships.
Often the younger of two individuals in a given town may have been
known as Junior simply to differentiate from the other, older resident.
When researching early records this can be a stumbling block as we sometimes
force our current conventions of naming on this time period. This may
result in a need to redo some research.
While most current families do not begin to use numbers until the third
generation of the same name, what your father elected to do is fine.
You are the second John Smith, so using John Smith II is certainly
Proper Use of Baptismal Dates
I have an authoritative source of information, prepared by a Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court, which provides the names of 8 generations of ancestors.
Many have birth dates but a sizable number have only baptismal dates gleaned
from church records prepared during the years 1600 through 1800. How should
this information be recorded and should birth dates be estimated based
upon established practices of the times? -- J.
When you get back to a certain time period, the church records are often all that exists. Usually you get the baptismal date, and nothing referring to the date that the child was actually born.
Depending on where the baptism took place, it may be possible that religion or other ethnic beliefs may dictate when the child should be baptized. Of course, assuming anything in genealogy can get you into trouble.
As genealogists, we are supposed to deal in facts. In the case of baptisms, the facts that you have are that the child was baptized on a specific date. You can also infer from that fact that the child was born before that date. However, to estimate the exact date of birth can cause problems.
To that end, I encourage researchers to simply record the birth date as "Bef 12 October 1789" if the baptism date was 12 October 1789. You are accurate with your information in this way, and you solve the problem of a birth date, which many of the genealogy programs of today rely so heavily on.
Cherokee Ancestry
How can I prove the Cherokee ancestry of my great great grandmother. I can't seem to find her name on the Guion Miller Roll. -- WindDancer
A: The Guion Miller Roll is not the only list of Cherokees that exists. The Guion Miller Rolls dealt specifically with the Eastern Cherokees.
In 1905 the Eastern Cherokees were to be awarded $1 million in their claims against the United States. Guion Miller was the agent assigned to compile a list of eligible persons. To be eligible, the member of the Eastern Cherokees had to be alive on 28 May 1906 and had to prove that the family had not moved west prior to 1835. They had to prove they were members of the Eastern Cherokee tribe at the time of the treaties and were not affiliated with any other tribe.
Additional records to check would be the Dawes Rolls. Also, depending on when your great-great grandmother died, you may want to begin your research with her death certificate. This may supply you with the information on where she was born and the names of her parents. Also, you will want to check the census records to determine where your great-great grandmother was living. There are certain places where members of the Cherokee tribes tended to live.
Additional information on researching Cherokee ancestry can be found in Myra Vanderpool Gormley's Cherokee Connections, published by Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc.

MURCHISON, Texas -- It is billed as America s largest and most diverse animal sanctuary, but its current director would be happy if the services of Black Beauty Ranch were no longer needed and the sanctuary could close for good.
The mission of any good sanctuary is to hopefully come to that day when it is no longer needed, said Black Beauty Ranch director Ben Callison.
The Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch, named for the animal rights activist and author who founded the sanctuary in 1979, is home to 43 different species on 1,300 acres in Murchison, TX near Athens and Tyler.
The animals, rescued from medical research, captive hunting farms, and neglect and abuse, range from 23 primates including gibbons and chimpanzees to acres of free-roaming horses, exotic antelope and deer, ostriches, bison, horses and donkeys.
The Doris Day Horse Rescue and Adoption Center, part of Black Beauty Ranch, rehabilitates abused and injured horses and adopts them out to suitable homes. Horses and donkeys that are not considered suitable for adoption are allowed to live out their lives, roaming free on hundreds of acres at Black Beauty Ranch.
Buckaroo, a retired rodeo horse, is easy to spot in the Black Beauty herd. He is a leopard palomino with distinctive black and white markings. The horse, although relatively young, was rescued on his way to the slaughterhouse, discarded after his rodeo career was over.
Ninety percent of horses going to horse slaughter are young, healthy, well-bred horses and he's an example of that, said Callison. So if they weren't here that's where they would be.
Among the most recent arrivals to the sanctuary is a rare Scimitar Oryx, a species of Oryx now extinct in the wild. Raised as someone s exotic pet the owner chose to refuse an offer from a captive hunting farm and send the animal instead to Black Beauty.
This animal will never be adorning someone's wall in their house as a trophy. She's going to get to live out her life here, said Callison.
The sanctuary is home to numerous species that were once in private pet collections. Saudi, a 5-year-old camel is a recent arrival. And several of the sanctuary s primates, including gibbons, capuchins, and macaques, were rescued from either medical research or the exotic pet trade. The Humane Society is working to get better regulation for private ownership of primates.
Although people believe they can take them as pets it almost always fails when they do, said Callison of the exotic pet trade. And it's sanctuaries that end up having to take the burden of these animals for the remainder of their life.
The front gate of Black Beauty Ranch includes a quote from Anna Sewell s novel Black Beauty that summarizes the mission of the sanctuary. I have nothing to fear; and here my story ends My troubles are all over, and I am at home....
Their stories and their histories are just so sad that it's wonderful to finally be able to bring them here and give them the life that they deserve, said Callison.
The sanctuary is in the process of expanding its facilities to house large cats. Right now the sanctuary is home to four tigers including sisters Anastasia and Natalia who were rescued from a small road-side zoo in Mississippi where they had been kept in an enclosure as small as 10 by 10 feet.
The situations that they have come from have just been absolutely absurd and unacceptable and it's disgusting. It really is, said tiger caretaker and sanctuary employee Katie Birk.
One of the enrichment exercises they now use for the tigers to keep them healthy, alert, and mentally stimulated is to allow them to paint. Birk slides a small easel with dabs of non-toxic paint into the tiger enclosure. The sisters paw and rub on the easel creating their own artwork that is sometimes offered to donors and friends of the sanctuary.
My hope for these girls and like any other tiger that we rescue is that they actually get to find the true word of sanctuary, added Birk.
Callison says the big cat pet issue remains a difficult one. There are more tigers in captivity in the state of Texas, says Callison, than there are in the wild.
If those issues can get resolved then we are no longer necessary, said Callison of the variety of animal abuse issues the Humane Society and Black Beauty Ranch are involved in.
I long for the day when I have an opening and there is not a request to fill it.
But for now Black Beauty Ranch plans to expand some of its habitats: make more room, more sanctuary for primates and big cats to offer this final home until they can close their gates for good.
