The price of crude oil is $45 per barrel today -- as Saudi Arabia enters the day with a new after the death of King Abdullah yesterday. Yemen's government collapsed this week. Europe is trying to avert another financial crisis. It's a little bit of turmoil (again) globally.

The online data storage industry is as crowded as the Hosted VoIP sector. Consolidation is happening in each sector, but not nearly enough. Why more is needed? Too many players with too few customers and little branding. Remind you of the Hosted VoIP sector too?
Evolve IP, a Broadsoft based cloud services company, bought an MSP, Webcore Technologies. It adds management experience, customers and some services and skills that Evolve didn't have.

]]>The first is the M Lab ISP Interconnection and its Impact on Consumer Internet Performance study. It was presented in Europe (slides). Inter-connection between consumer ISPs - or as I call them, the Duopoly, that is composed of VZ, ATT, Comcast, the rest of the MSOs and the ILECs - and to the Big 7 or Big 13 Tier 1 Internet backbones is crucial for consumer satisfaction, the economy and the Internet to work.
Why is this important? There's no competition in the last mile space for much of America.
Our economy depends on an open and fair Internet. How does the next Google come about with paid prioritization? Or how does the next Netflix compete with Comcast and FiOS degrading traffic?
Data Foundry and Golden Frog submitted an ex parte filing to the FCC about the lack of competition. As NECA writes, they went on about "the so-called hybrid approach, Internet users' freedom to choose services and applications unfettered by Internet access provider interference, and access provider invasions of users' privacy." It is a good read.
As a denizen of the Internet, have you submitted your comments to the FCC yet?
]]>Makes you think, right? It also makes me think that regulations hold back some innovation. AirBnB, Uber and Tesla Motors challenge long-standing regulations. But really what holds it all back is the power (industry) behind said regulations - like Big Oil, Big Pharma, the Duopoly.
In some parts of the world, VoIP is illegal - and you can be jailed for having VoIP equipment. I guess they don't realize that a cellphone is a VoIP device.
Marriott was fined $600K for jamming hotspots at the Nashville Gaylord Opryland. Current Analysis has a good read on it.
The Technology Report October 2014 on UC & PBX is out at Telecom Reseller. PBX shipments were down 1% from Q1 to Q2. That isn't really a big deal.
So Craig Walker of Grand Central and Google Voice fame (and Uber Conferencing) has launched another business VoIP service for Google Apps users. Nice review of Switch Communications here. I haven't gotten to look at the service since the website has been down all morning.
TechCrunch is good at headlines (not really content but certainly headlines and clicks). In this one, "Edward Snowden's Privacy Tips: "Get Rid Of Dropbox," Avoid Facebook And Google". DUH!
In the midst of the NFL's current publicity problem due to domestic violence outbreaks, NFL partners have to decide what to do. I have scaled back watching the NFL this season due to the number of felons in that league, but I did notice on SportsCenter that there is a lot of pink out there. I understand the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign -- and that Komen is all about the money - but you would think that the org formerly known as The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation would have taken a stand. Verizon did. Their PR department responded with this email about Hopeline and Voice Have Power. It's a great PR gesture, but if they really wanted to take a stand, imagine if Verizon told Goodell to clean up the NFL like Pepsi's CEO did.
Technology takes over a lot of our life - soon our driving (just ask Tesla owners) - it even replaces a number of jobs in the US. Does it look like as a society we are getting better or worse because of our relationship with tech?
Someone asked me about cellular competition. I agree with the FCC that we need 4 players. Sure, 2 of them own more than three quarters of the market, but the other two keep it interesting. Add in the handset manufacturers - like Apple, LG, Samsung and even Blackberry - it makes it a decent competition. After the iPhone 6 announcement, all of the carriers have been jiggering their pricing plans to snag as many users via upgrades as possible.
That in itself is interesting since AMDOCS told me that it takes almost the whole 24 month contract for carriers to break even on smartphone users. So why would you chase more smartphones users for less ARPU?
I am watching a few things happen slowly: more fiber projects resulting in denser fiber availability; more traction of unified communications platforms (simple, cloud or not); and money getting tight due to flat revenues, high debt, and uncertainty about what the FCC -- and eventually the courts -- will do about important issues like Special Access, TDM-to-IP transitions, E-Rate and other USF programs. It's all happening like the melting of glaciers. (I knew I could fit climate change in here! )
Have a good Monday!
]]>A little history of Neustar: in 1996, "Neustar - then the Communications Industry Services (CIS) operating unit within Lockheed Martin - won its original contract to provide local number portability services to select regions throughout North America. Since that time, Neustar has assumed LNP responsibilities for all geographic regions throughout the United States and Canada as the operator of the Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC). Neustar subsequently launched wireless number portability to much of the North American market in 2003. And in 1997, "Neustar won the contract to become the official North American Numbering Plan (NANP) administrator, a position we have held ever since. The NANP is a system of three-digit area codes and seven-digit telephone numbers that directs telephone calls to particular regions on a public switched telephone network."
Telcordia Technologies was formerly Bell Communications Research, Inc. or Bellcore, which Ericsson acquired in 2012. Telcordia Technologies, Inc. is using the dba iconectiv. Iconectiv is vying for the same contract that Neustar has.
I got to see the conflict up close at Comptel where I interviewed both companies. They took the fight to the show dailies, in dueling ads.
It even warranted an article in Politico!!! Not sure what would happen to Neustar if it loses the contract. The FCC and others favor Telcordia getting the contract. It should be interesting.
In similar news:
Verizon asked the FCC to reconcile the LERG and NECA lists of OCNs to ensure calls are accurately captured in the rural/nonrural categories and covered providers categorize them consistently in their call completion reporting.
]]>Do you think we have adequate competition in anything but cellular?
Wheeler says that for the FCC "the best way to serve consumers and economic growth is through the push and pull of competition."
It's a nice idea but not sure that it is put into practice enough.
The economy today does run on the Internet. Wheeler said, "Today, COMPTEL's members deliver important competitive alternatives to business and enterprise customers. This in turn helps those enterprises provide better, more affordable goods and services to members of the general public--be they students at a community college, patients at a hospital, or customers at an auto repair shop."
The CLECs, CAPs, fiber and hosted players account for about 25% of the telecom spend in the US. That's a large slice of a big pie -- that employs a lot of taxpayers and consumers while also serving businesses, non-profits and governments of all sizes in a more flexible manner than the Duopoly.
Right now the FCC is saddled with dockets that will actually determine the life of the competitive landscape.
These are heady issues, each of them. With winners and losers on each decision. Some losers will not survive. If the FCC is really about fostering competition, then many of these issues are a lot easier to decide than all of the posturing and comments suggest.
The last time these kinds of decisions were made was in 2004-2005. After the Brand-X loss, not only was DSL taken off the table for competitive carriers, but also cable networks. The following year, a ruling took ILEC fiber assets off the table for ISPs and CLECs.
Broadband, fiber and cable networks are available today via wholesale commercial contracts, including Special Access. There are a number of stories about cable ignoring CPNI rules and wholesale pricing being more than retail.
Luckily, copper isn't done yet due to g.fast, EoC, and newer tech coming out of Alcatel. But will the ILECs keep the copper? Can they be forced to?
Wheeler remarked, "Where copper is being taken offline, should competitors have the opportunity to buy the copper so that a valuable resource is not wasted? And where copper is not being retired, how do we ensure that it is being maintained adequately?" How does the Windstream REIT play into it? Can a REIT be regulated?
There are a number of proposals out there, including this one: "Rep. Waxman suggested the FCC reclassify broadband providers as common carriers under Title II, and use its Section 706 authority to establish a no blocking rule, a no throttling rule and a no paid prioritization rule."
The longer it takes to reach a decision means that there is uncertainty which means investment dollars to build networks gets harder to find and more expensive to borrow.
]]>In 2010, current Florida Governor Rick Scott spent $40 million to win the governor's race. The voter turnout was 49% according to the state of Florida.
In 2012, the two candidates running for the highest office, POTUS, spent $1 billion each!!! Voter turn out was 58% - or 55% (depending on what stat you use). About 129 million people voted for president in 2012.
Two Billion dollars in advertising to 235 million registered voters to get 129 million to vote
One billion to get 62,615,406 votes (51%)
What did that $1 billion buy? Direct mail, TV and radio ads galore, signs, newspaper ads, big data experts, social media gurus, branding specialists, analytics and other stuff like office space, furniture, services (phones, Internet), food, hotels, travel.
There are 11,856,694 registered voters in Florida in 2014. Rick Scott is going to spend $100 million this time to win re-election. That's about $8 per registered voter.
"For AT&T, the 2012 spending tally added up to $1.59 billion in measured media, making it the nation's most-advertised brand, according to Ad Age DataCenter's analysis of spending data from WPP's Kantar Media. ... AT&T accounted for more than 1% of 2012 U.S. measured-media spending -- TV, radio, print, outdoor, internet display ads -- or $5.05 for every person in the United States." [AdAge]
What can we learn from this? A couple of things.
Know your customer (voter). The better you know who it is that is likely to vote for you or buy from you, the easier it is to get your message to them. Easier but maybe not cheaper.
Analytics (Big Data if you will) helps fine tune your message, your target, what's working, etc. Not just website analytics, but email tracking, newsletters, social media, and even direct mail (with platforms like ifbyphone)
If your product sucks (most political candidates are awful products to sell), it will cost more to advertise. (That's why the POTUS candidates had to spend more than AT&T.)
If you don't have a recognizable brand, the advertising will cost more as you perform branding for name recognition which means repetition to get the message through.
AT&T and the politicians spend a lot of money blanket advertising (TV, radio, newspapers) - just puking everywhere. That's fine if you have that kind of money, but if you do not, then you have to be a smarter marketer. Refine the message to resonate with your best targets.
Lucky for you, you don't need 62 million votes. If you get 35,000 customers, you are in the big time. You do that 1000 at a time. Refining, analyzing, targeting, growing. You aren't under an election cycle time frame.
In a lot of ways, the cellular industry is turning into politics. Trash talking, mud slinging, increased spending, blanket marketing. Why? Flat, hyper-competitive market with only take-away votes left. In other words, customer acquisition costs are increasing and retention costs are increasing.
You can polish a turd and market the heck out of it to dupe voters to buy it once, but it will only work once. You could be spending some of those ad dollars in other ways - like customer service, user experience, support, brand ambassadors, etc. Ways to add a WOW factor. Instead we still spin the same old wheel the same way.
Some Additional Thoughts from my brain:
In some respects, politics and elections helps up TV channels, direct mail operations, printers and the post office. Other big ad spenders - magazines, TV, newspapers, Internet - are Disney, JPM Chase, Chrysler and others.
Local elections are certainly easier - almost manageable. The data is crisper. You can door knock and get the community involved. It isn't much different from a regional CLEC, WISP or other service provider. There is data available about the businesses off your CO, near you towers, near your office. There are networking events that you can attend to meet prospects face to face.
Marketing isn't easy, but it isn't quantum mechanics either. It takes some planning and management.
It would be nice to spend $8 per prospect but
]]>Voice over IP is the aftermath of consumers moving from copper to FiOS or cable modem or even cell phone over the last ten years. Where it has been easiest to deliver high speed broadband, the transformation is largely happening. However, there are too many pockets of America where high speed broadband isn't available; where technology like DSL can't deliver packets due to distance limitations; where fixed wireless can't see.
Without broadband everywhere, the IP transformation can't happen. It creates a digital divide between those with GigaBroadband and those without. Without broadband, working at home is not really possible. Without broadband, many freelance careers are not possible. So the divide becomes not only about having broadband, but having the opportunities that high speed Internet Access fuels.
I'm not talking about entertainment with Xbox of Netflix. How do you have educational parity without broadband? In urban areas, many students have migrated to tablets in place of textbooks. Without broadband, there is no way to get your homework done!
And where the IP Transformation is happening, there are ripple effects. People consume exabytes of data, especially video. These streams - video and VoIP - are real-time and have to be delivered with limited latency and jitter on networks designed for data packets - like email and websites. So the networks have to be monitored and re-configured and upgraded - even backhaul.
Other ripple effects are economic. The copper plant and its union workers become a burden on the LEC. The same techs that work on TDM are not always cross-trained for IP and fiber plant. The LECs are watching a steady decline of revenue from the copper plant; revenues which have fueled the companies for decades.
There has been a call for Broadband to be a Utility by Congress. Meanwhile, the telco groups like TIA and NCTA clamor for the status quo - even as that status quo shifts from under the members of these groups. (Still others are trying to get laws passed so governments can't build fiber networks, even in communities that the carriers will never invest.)
Regardless, the carriers have to get on the program that IP networks are the future and that broadband is an economic necessity for every community, every taxpayer. The Internet Economy is what is floating the US. Any attack on it - whether Net Neutrality, slow build outs, or high prices - will have a ripple effect on this country and its economy. I just wish they all acted like they knew that (and were working in the best interests).
]]>We get that behind us (a little) just in time for a federal judge in US District Court to rule that Microsoft must comply with a US warrant for customer data despite that data being stored in a company data center in Ireland! [techrepublic]
Is this a reason for tech companies to move overseas? Other than saving big on taxes, it won't save them from this overreach. They aren't going to pull up stakes in the US and abandon customers and equipment.
The irony for me is that these same companies built this monster that is now hampering their global growth. All that lobbying and Super PAC money bought you exactly what you got.
]]>On the one hand, a US company losing a big contract in Europe is a bad thing. On the other hand, it is the bed that they made years ago to regain monopoly standing and become a company too big to fail.
Kind of funny for Germany to be so upset; they spy on every one too.
Snowden's NSA reveals have gotten in the way of a lot of cloud deals for US companies. This mistrust doesn't bode well for global expansion of US companies.
And why do these companies want to expand outside the US? So many reasons.
Unions and pensions are unsettling for their balance sheets.
The US markets are flat -- cellphones, voice, broadband, TV. It's all about scale and getting more efficient.
Consumer spending is flat (or declining) so they can't squeeze more money out of this US bedrock.
Lots of competition from OTT, Netflix, Amazon Prime and other ways for consumers to spend money (that isn't with them).
Declining revenue in wholesale and other sectors due to price compression.
Customer acquisition in the US for hosted VoIP and other services has increased.
If you look at the bigger picture, the telcos haven't innovate or bought innovation in 50 years. All the value they bring is in pipe but all the bigger value is in what happens at the end of that pipe. And because they were the plumbers and got into bed with the government (and received favorable treatment ever since), they are now paying some of that price.
]]>AT&T is adding cities in NC to its U-Verse with GigaPower. I wonder if this is a response to TWC buying DukeNet there.
Verizon Wireless looking to buy Dish Network's spectrum [Reuters]. It came out of the NY Post; the article is so vague that it doesn't even mention what spectrum. Chalk it up to #rumor by bankers.
21 charts about the US changes. I know these graphs are someone's representation / view / spin, but take it at face value that some observations are true, like we are a more diverse population and the population is getting older. To quote Tom Peters: start marketing to the diversity and the Boomers!
#14 - "The US economy has undergone a fundamental shift: it has moved from a more goods-focused economy to a service-based economy." I see that the Internet helps to spin our economy (or at least the market caps of a number of companies), so why is Congress, the courts and the two F agencies, letting any corporation muck with it?
#15 - "Speaking of productivity, the American worker just keeps getting better and better at boosting the economy, thanks largely to technology. American workers are creating more and more economic value, but they're not getting paid accordingly. Productivity has climbed steadily over the last decade, but compensation hasn't followed suit." I don't think anyone can argue that point, but I am certain someone will try.
#6 - We are more Politically Polarized than ever before. "A 2014 report from the Pew Research Center found that the two man political parties are drifting further from each other ideologically. Americans are far more likely to be consistently conservative or consistently liberal than they were 10 or 20 years ago." And we tend to only listen to people we agree with and ignore differing opinions, which means that this will only get worse.
"Largely because of our aging population, there's going to be a growing need for more healthcare workers in the US economy over the next 10 years....Home health aides and personal care aides, both of which are going to grow by around 50 percent, are also remarkably low-paid jobs, with median annual pay of around $20,000 each." In a consumer service based economy, when people can't buy stuff, the economic engine grinds to a halt. Henry Ford knew that.
#17 - "We're staying unemployed for an unusually, terribly long amount of time." The skills for jobs that pay well have changed - perhaps outpacing the unemployed. Plus many jobs have been automated out of the organization. (The new burger maker machine will even automate the low wage jobs at fast food. then what?)
This slide deck is about technology's influence on the workplace (which could be about BYOD and other stuff). What it said to me is that if you are selling cloud as a replacement for premise, you are wasting your time. Cloud is an improvement over premise. Get that straight right from the beginning, chum.
]]>No matter what ruling - McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission or USA v. Cindy Lee Westhoven - or what law or even when they are found breaking the law with unlawful intercepts and trampling the US Constitution (now a guideline I suppose), it's business as usual in the US. We are exporting Democracy and aid to the less fortunate, but no here at home!
But I digress. Back to Net Neutrality.
I have repeatedly said that our current economy is based on service and the Internet.
Jobs are created by small business not the Fortune 5000 or the Global 500.
When you put a toll road on the Internet where bigger companies can pay for better access, the age of the Internet and the dawning of the Age of Innovation are just about over.
Once again I say save the $359,299,000 and close the FCC. (If a former Monsanto policy VP is going to run the FDA, let's close that too. And the federal Dept. of Education is a waste of paper.)
For the moment I am beaten down by politics and DC and the voting public (for being so lazy), so I can't get riled up about NN. Yet VCs - yes the money men - like Fred Wilson clearly understand how tossing out Net Neutrality will have a far reaching impact as he explains in two blog posts - here and here.
"But that period of "permissionless innovation" is likely to come to an end soon if we all let it. The FCC has responded to a court ruling by proposing a convoluted set of rules that will allow fast lanes, slow lanes, and what's even worse, no lanes. The FCC's proposal will allow the telcos and cable companies that provide the last mile connection to your home or office to prioritize some bits over others. That's how they create the fast lane and the slow lane. It also allows discrimination in which they can decide not to allow your bits through at all, creating a "no lane"."
Please sign this petition. thanks!
]]>In 2005, with the Brand-X case and the FCC, this ruling was written. "Given that the Commission has chosen to classify broadband providers in a manner that exempts them from treatment as common carriers, the Communications Act expressly prohibits the Commission from nonetheless regulating them as such. Because the Commission has failed to establish that the anti-discrimination and anti-blocking rules do not impose per se common carrier obligations, we vacate those portions of the Open Internet Order." [ARS]
This prevents the FCC -- and the Obama administration - from using this ruling to allow for all sorts of craziness on the Internet in terms of rulings and privacy. Maybe.
The FCC lost in 2010 against Comcast in the same court, as cited in the ruling.
I like in the ruling on page 5 when the court starts to define the Internet players: "Four major participants in the Internet marketplace are relevant to the issues before us: backbone networks, broadband providers, edge providers, and end users." The players who will be impacted are "Edge providers are those who, like Amazon or Google, provide content, services, and applications over the Internet, while end users are those who consume edge providers' content, services, and applications." Or as I like to call them, the whole reason any pays $50+ per month for broadband (and even more for mobile data service). Think about that: It used to be one dial-up ISP getting $20 per month; now it is usually 2 ISP's getting $50 per month each!!! And they want more. WTH.
In case you missed it, AT&T has already chosen different ways to make money - either by snooping on your Gigabit service in Austin for a discount or sponsoring your data plan from advertisers. All of this to make a noisier walled world. We head back to the days of Prodigy and AOL.
The WSJ says it best: "By tossing out the "Open Internet" rules written by the Federal Communications Commission in 2010, Internet service providers are now free to experiment with new types of arrangements, such as charging content companies* like Google or Netflix higher fees to deliver Internet traffic faster, more seamlessly or in greater quantity, or degrading the quality of certain online content unless its creators are willing to pay." We already pay for the last mile; the content companies not only peer with the ISP's but buy transit from them. And why do you think we pay for the pipe? It's ALL ABOUT THE CONTENT!!! (or *the edge as the court explains).
Many content providers - see newspapers for example or Hulu - are already facing hard economic times. How will their business model stand up to having to Pay extra for Delivery? How will Google's or Netflix?
We'll see what happens. It won't be well for the consumer, you can be sure of that. Nothing that happens in DC ever benefits the taxpayer.
]]>Our economy right revolves around the Internet. Cloud companies have spent billions to ramp up for a demand that is being adversely affected by the current US surveillance state. We can't have that. Add your voice to the call for reform.
]]>The Broadband money (NTIA, BIP, BTOP) as well as the Lifeline (Obama phone) program has seen its share of abuses, but billion dollar programs will do that. The FCC needs to tighten that up.
The USF funds for Connect America have been dispersed - except for 30% which is being disputed. The carriers came out swinging for the broadband map. Some called satellite and fixed wireless broadband systems inadequate. It got a little ugly. Tables got turned as 5 carriers await the results of a dispute as competitors have said that broadband is being delivered in the areas that CAF money was going. Oops! Lots of areas for the FCC to tighten up the reins. This same pile of money pays for E-rate Internet in schools and libraries and rural healthcare, especially tele-medicine.
Probably the FCC's biggest responsibility is the spectrum. Mobility is eating the world, just ask anyone (including Fred Wilson). But a majority of the spectrum is in the hands of just 3 companies. Kind of crazy. There's a couple of auctions coming up. Some of the last available spectrum -- which is the prime real estate for all things wireless and mobile. The FCC needs to safeguard this spectrum so that more than 3 companies have some.
Meanwhile, the House of Reps is calling for a telecom act re-write. "They envision a multi-year effort that will start next year with a series of hearings and white papers next year." It should be great. (sarcasm btw).
There is a lot on the new FCC chairman's plate. Plus dealing with Congress. He basically is residing over the engine of the economy -- Internet and mobility - the two sectors driving the economy right now.
Meanwhile, as the traditional telecom world rapidly shifts, competitors that don't own network - wireline or wireless - need to figure out how to navigate the opportunities popping up as other ones close.
]]>When you look at some not-so-rural areas, the ILECs have been woefully uncooperative in deploying broadband. The result has been LUS, GreenLight, UTOPIA, and other muni projects. The muni projects galvanized the Duopoly to fight the muni project and lobby for laws that would prevent muni fiber systems. Awesome sauce, right?
Then Google Fiber happened. First in Kansas City, then Austin. It was a kidney punch to the Duopoly who had been getting lazy in spending money on not-very-dense regions. As soon as Google entered the fray, then the Duopoly had to shape up.
I got to watch this in Hardee County, Florida, where CenturyLink (and before that Embarq/Sprint) neglected the county. Granted, Hardee is rural and economically powered by agriculture, but to compete for jobs nationally and globally, people need quality broadband. In this instance, Rapid Systems, an independent Wireless Broadband provider, worked with the county itself on a public-private bid for funds, won and deployed broadband throughout the county. The ILEC is not happy (as you can imagine). The county is happy though.
If we believe that the Internet is vital for economy growth, for jobs, for innovation, to compete globally, then should the Duopoly be deploying it everywhere? They get damn near everything they want from the government.
Now we have a case in Seattle of Comcast and C-Link, who neglected to deliver an ultra-fast network to the area, fighting the mayor of Seattle over his proposed 1 GB network. Thanks to Citizen United v. FEC the Duopoly can pour money into Super PACs to defeat the mayor and his plan. They also use millions on disinformation campaigns. It's getting out of hand.
"Obviously a corporation donating to candidates who'll most closely parrot their views is nothing new, but war by incumbents on any town or city that wants to deploy faster and cheaper broadband than mega ISPs offer (read: competition) has been an often ugly affair that has been raging for more than a decade."
Note it has been more than a decade!!!!

At Wales Summit, NATO Should Not Forget the War It's Already Fighting
Wednesday, September 3, 2014By Janine Davidson and Emerson Brooking
This week, NATO leaders will gather in Wales for the 2014 NATO summit—arguably the most important since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The crisis in Ukraine and the growing challenge from ISIS are sure to dominate the agenda. But as menacing as these threats are, NATO leaders should not forget about Afghanistan, where NATO's International Stability Assistance Force (ISAF) is struggling to bring this thirteen-year war to an end. As our experience in Iraq should make abundantly clear, the pace and manner by which international troops (and aid dollars) withdraw and the durability of NATO's commitment to the region will greatly influence what comes afterward.

Worth every penny!, December 9, 2011
Wildon Goodwin "PHARAOHAMON" (PA USA)
My intentions was to spent $40-$50 on a dog bed so I spent hours sifting through the various dog beds, and was happy to find this bed for my mid sized Pit. The price I thought was to high thou and thought "Maybe One Day" And held off for a few days while continuing my search. All the ones I saw had a matting that was obviously flimsy (I also watched review videos, if it's not her on I would Youtube the item.)I also did as I always do while purchasing online... I read reviews. This product had no review. But I did see the 'V' shape sideing that would help in support) Her other $37 bed was her size except she would always lay her head over the side, pluse I had to also place a pillow on the inside to keep off the cold floor. I knew this was Chiropractic damaging. This bed solved that problem. (Yeah, ONE DAY finally came!) After getting The Deluxe Ortho Bolster my dog 'Peanutt' just went crazy! Once she got in the bed she didn't want to get out!...even.
A Mom and doxie's dream come true!!, January 24, 2012
I bought this bed for my little dachshund because she had back surgery and can no longer climb to the.
BEST DOG BED EVER, December 28, 2011
I ordered this bed for my toy schnauzer. He was run over by a car when he was a year old shattered his pelvis. He had surgery in Memphis 5 years later is doing exceptionally well. But - he does have soreness in his back end. This bed is wonderful for him. He absolutely loves it. It is so thick with memory foam the edge around it gives him a place to rest his head. He is in it right now. Even when we leave the room, he stays in his bed. It is his "safe spot." I would recommend this bed to any pet.

We LOVED the grass-fed rib eyes!!! Could not believe how lean they were compared to grocery rib eyes, and how succulent they tasted. Just a little marinating and searing on the grill brought out the absolutely delicious flavor. We will definitely be repeat customers.
Ordering was a breeze, price is excellent [shhh! don't tell the rancher].

also going to cost you about $85 or so with the extracts you are using. Beersmith comes out to 1.080 OG, 8.7 % ABV. 79.4 IBU, 10 color
using my local prices, don't know if you get better pricing.
Wow man. I think you're going to try to dissolve more iso-alpha acids into your beer than can actually be done. I think I read somewhere that beyond 100 IBUs (maybe 120) you're beer actually becomes saturated with iso-alpha acids. I applaud your love of hops. I would use caution when dry-hopping that much hops. You can get grassy flavors from dry hopping, and with your hop bill you might just be making grass beer. Might be worth a try though. Who knows, maybe grass beer will be the next big IIPA thing.
whoops, edit: didn't see you only had one hop variety with a full boil. Your IBU level will be fine, but man, that is going to smell like a hop. No beer smell. Just hop. lol
You could try using the hop schedule from a proven recipe, perhaps this DFH 60 clone, and tweak it a bit to get the flavours and intensity you're aiming for:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/dogf...extract-25709/
At least keep it to high alpha hops and a short contact time. You can put them in the secondary with a sanitized hop bag and hang it from the bung with a long string of dental floss with a weight tied to the bag. Just use any stainless fittings you already use to brew like a fishing weight.

Mob of Angry Pixar Creatives Replaces Bob Peterson on 'The Good Dinosaur'
In Production By Adam Bellotto on August 30, 2013 | Be the First To CommentEarlier this week, a rumor began floating around that Bob Peterson, director of Up, would no longer be directing Pixar's latest (and thankfully, non-sequel) feature, The Good Dinosaur. Well, it turns out the rumors are true – Peterson is off the project. Pixar's president, Ed Catmull, offered a few words of explanation on the sudden change: "All directors get really deep in their films. Sometimes you just need a different perspective to get the idea out. Sometimes directors … are so deeply embedded in their ideas it actually takes someone else to finish it up. I would go so far as to argue that a lot of live-action films would be better off with that same process." That description of Peterson as so "deep in [his] film" that "a different perspective" was needed almost makes him sound a little unhinged. Like he chased the rabbit too far down the Good Dinosaur hole and had spent the last several months locked in a supply closet, constructing a crude time machine to get a more accurate representation of what dinosaurs really looked like. But apparently Peterson still has some degree of sanity, as this move isn't a firing – Peterson will still remain with the studio.
'Planes' Review: A Need for Marketing, Not Speed
Movie Reviews By Neil Miller on August 9, 2013 | Comments (1)There's a scene in this movie, Disney's Planes, in which a group of international superstar propeller-driven racing planes come together for a massive race round the world. One of the planes is from Mexico, wears a luchador mask and calls himself El Chupacabra. We watch as he spies a sultry, well-painted, French-speaking plane. She's Rochelle, the rally champion from Canada. He falls in love and must serenade her with a mariachi version of The Miracles' 1976 hit "Love Machine." Heavy emphasis on the "chhhh" sound in "machine." As you might imagine, this wins her interest and they fall head over heels for each other, a love that involves lipstick marks on his wings and pet names between them such as "Chalupa" and "Chimichanga." In a movie so haphazard with its horrible stereotype-driven character creation, this is actually one of the less offensive moments. And that's pretty bad. Because as we discover within 30-seconds of Planes, this is the laziest brand of kid's film: the kind created by a bunch of marketing executives in a 90th floor boardroom. It's sad to see it pillaging the strong, if flawed brand built by Pixar's Cars.
Jon Favreau Teaming With Pixar For 'Magic Kingdom'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on July 25, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAccording to Jon Favreau, the world will have to wait for Magic Kingdom, and that's a good thing. In an interview with Crave, the director noted that his past three films (Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and Cowboys & Aliens) have all been made under the gun of a release date and preliminary poster art. It's arguable that that rush had an effect on overall quality. By "arguable," we mean, "almost assured." Of course, Pixar is happy to help with the methodical, only-when-the-story-is-ready approach. "What we've been doing is writing a script, going up to Pixar, meeting with the brain trust, coming back down, bringing on artists, story editors and putting it together as though it were an animated film so that by the time we actually film it, we'll have a rock solid story," Favreau said. Of course, it's in no way an official Pixar film, but Disney seems keen to use them and John Lasseter as a valuable creative resource.
The 10 Best Pixar Characters: From Infinity to Squirrel!
Cinematic Listology By Kevin Carr on June 21, 2012 | Comments (9)For more than fifteen years, Pixar has represented the gold standard in computer generated films. Since the studio's early days of making groundbreaking short films to producing Oscar-winning feature-length movies, Pixar has become a brand associated with quality animation and adorable characters. There have been some bumps along the road, from a love-hate-owner relationship with Disney to some questionable sequels, but few studios can boast such a consistent level of quality and innovation. This week, Pixar will be releasing its 13th full-length feature, Brave, with an entire new cast of characters different from any other Pixar film. This gives us a chance to look into Pixar's past and remember some of the favorite characters from their films.
If there's any outfit that celebrates the team sport aspect of filmmaking, it's Pixar. What began as the Graphics Group at LucasFilm has evolved into its own behemoth of wonder and magic. Not just pioneers of technology, they've sought to invent in order to put stories out into the world – using computer animation for the ancient purpose of spinning tales and crafting characters. Led by Ed Catmull, the production house (which was bought by Disney in 2006) boasts luminaries like John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton, Lee Unkrich and many more. There newest film, Brave, is in theaters this week, so here's a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from RenderMan and company.
Movie News After Dark: Dissecting The Dark Knight Rises, Extending Game of Thrones and Trusting the B—- in Apartment 23
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 29, 2012 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly entertainment news column returning from the long weekend with but a few items, all of which are like to make you quite happy. In fairness, they make me happy. I can't say much for the rest of you, but I've got a good feeling about it. We begin this evening with another shot from The Dark Knight Rises. (I wonder if Catwoman still knows how deadly a kiss can be.) A number of websites have begun publishing tales of a visit they made to the set of Christopher Nolan's latest last year. None of the individual accounts are worth your attention, but the folks at ScreenRant have made use of them, pulling out the best of the best for a Dark Knight Rises set visit round-up. Finally, something useful for the reader!
22 Things You May Not Have Known About 'Dark Shadows' Composer Danny Elfman
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on May 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWith Dark Shadows set to hit theaters this weekend, Warners hosted a small Q&A this past Tuesday to highlight what will be composer Danny Elfman and director Tim Burton's fourteenth film together. I am notorious for getting lost on studio lots (I once accidentally wandered into a background shot during the filming of Private Practice while looking for a screening room), but I was pleased (and relieved) when I arrived and realized this event was being held outside making it easy to find (although the long line of Elfman fans flanking the venue was also a pretty clear indicator). It was a nice change of pace to be outside on a warm afternoon and seemed to put everyone in a good mood. While the Q&A was moderated, the goal of the afternoon was primarily to open the floor up to the fans and have them ask the questions. This can be a precarious opportunity when the questions are unfiltered (and sometimes cringe worthy) as anyone who has attended a Q&A can attest to. However this afternoon the questions (save for a few – no, Oingo Boingo will not be getting back together) were incredibly thoughtful and interesting. Elfman noted that doing events like this are something he gladly takes time to do as he loves interacting with fans and this was clear as he took every question seriously and gave each person his undivided attention when answering. The event was also to commemorate the release of Elfman and Burton's 25th Anniversary […]
Movie News After Dark: Burt Reynolds, Fraggles, Primer, Pitch Meetings and Bollywood Superheroes
Movie News By Neil Miller on November 1, 2011 | Comments (3)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a thing that happens every night, bub. And it will deliver unto you the best of the entertainment-related things that happened today. Also, there will be mustaches. We begin tonight's late late edition of News After Dark with an epic mustache. No, not this column's author's epic mustache. It's an image of what Burt Reynolds looks like in his cameo on Archer, one of the better shows about animated spies to hit cable television since… okay, I ran that into the ground. It's really good. Burt Reynolds makes it even better.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: June 24, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on June 24, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr is inspired by Larry the Cable Guy and his character of Mater in the Cars movies. After all, if a buck-toothed rusty redneck pick-up truck can travel the world, why can't a bald-yet-hairy fat guy from Ohio can do so as well. Kevin lurked in the streets of Tokyo, hoping to stumble onto some classy British spies and uncover a plot to undermine green energy sources. Then he brushed off his teaching degree and got a job at a middle school where he drank profusely, slept through the day and threw dodge balls at the kids. When he tried to explain to the cops that he was just following in the way of Cameron Diaz's character from Bad Teacher, they just laughed at him and hauled him away.
Short Film of the Day: Pixar's 'Tin Toy'
Features By Scott Beggs on June 23, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? Because it's early magic. Pixar has another movie hitting theaters tomorrow, and it seems like the consensus points to a bit of the magic that makes their animation stand out being lost on this one (just as it was lost on its predecessor). But even if you're not interested in Larry the Cable Guy making a lot of jokes as a tow truck, this short is a nice shot of history and heartwarming to brighten the day. It's easy to see Toy Story being born from this short directed by John Lasseter, but it's a good thing the technology evolved. What does it cost? Just 4 minutes of your time. Check out Tin Toy for yourself:
This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we talk with sex symbol and film legend Angie Dickinson, discuss the parasitic relationship between studios and theaters, talk Bellflower's marketing strategy, and play a game we're calling "Co-Directors." Former assistant theater manager, massive film fan, and creative director at Rock Sauce Studios John Gholson explains how studios and theaters work together. He also makes a sex comedy featuring Andy Griffith seem just as enticing as it is in real life. Angie Dickinson has starred in over 50 films, played iconic roles from Rio Bravo to Ocean's Eleven, and she was kind enough to spend some time talking to us about working with Sam Fuller and Frank Sinatra, creating her characters, and how movie-making has changed. FSR's own Culture Warrior (and one of the Talking Heads) Landon Palmer braves a segment where we come up with directors we'd like to see work together, pitch a project for them, and figure out if it has a chance of getting made. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Murder sounds like it could be a massive hit. Plus, our very own Jeremy Kirk matches movie news wits with Peter Hall from Hollywood.com. Who will triumph at the sound of the correct answer bell and who will be forced to narfle the garthok? Loosen up your tie and stay a while. Listen Here: Download This Episode
'Cars 2′ Trailer: Pixar Mixes James Bond and Tokyo Drift
Movie News By Neil Miller on November 16, 2010 | Comments (5)If you were to tell me that you thought Cars to be one of the more mediocre and "kiddy" titles in the Pixar catalog, I'd be hard pressed to find any sort of argument for that. It is, on the Pixar spectrum, the low end of things. Charming, sure. But it lacks the heart and humanity the storytellers of Emeryville were able to pull of with far less human characters (see Wall-E and Toy Story 3). So the fact that the release of a trailer for Cars 2 comes not with a bang, but a whimper, should come as a surprise to absolutely know one. The gang — Owen Wilson voicing race car Lightning McQueen and Larry the Cable Guy voicing Mater the dimwit tow-truck — is back and this time they are headed oversees to Tokyo. There they get caught up in a world of flashing lights and international espionage. Espionage that will involve a British Aston Martin voiced by Michael Caine. At least I think it's Michael Caine…
Interview: 'Toy Story 3′ Director Lee Unkrich
Features By Scott Beggs on June 14, 2010 | Comments (6)Toy Story launched everything, and after millions of fans, billions of dollars in box office, and a shelf full of Academy Awards that might as well be labeled "Reserved for Pixar," we find ourselves on board a train that refuses to slow down and seems to keep getting better with every new stop along the tracks. I was fortunate enough to speak with Lee Unkrich, the director behind Toy Story 3, and we discussed what makes toys upset, the personal tragedies in life that helped him tell the story, and what Pixar's goals are for the future.

Tinker Bell Talks Her Way Through Her New Film
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 30, 2008 | Comments (2)I have a very special little treat for all of our readers who are big Disney fans. For the first time in history, one of Disney's most beloved characters will find her voice. Tinker Bell, long known as Peter Pan's helpful, yet silent partner, will be seen for the first time in her own film, this time with a speaking part. Walt Disney has hooked us up with a first look at the film, which includes two video clips. First up is the film's official trailer, which can be seen below: Next up is a special clip that includes an introduction by John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios: The voice of Tinker Bell is played by Mae Whitman (Independence Day, One Fine Day) with a supporting cast that includes America Ferrera (Ugly Betty), Raven-Symone (College Road Trip), Lucy Liu, Jesse McCartney and Anjelica Huston. As a fan of Disney movies, I will admit that this new Tinker Bell film is intriguing, but it is interesting to note the differences that can be seen between how Tinker Bell was animated back in the day with this new CG animated version. Sure, it looks clean, but it is quite a bit different in my mind. I'm not sure if it will have the same effect for other fans but for me, the film loses something in the transition to CG. Despite what I think, Tinker Bell will still hit shelves on DVD and Blu-ray October 28, […]

Afternoon Tea at The Chateau Grille
Afternoon Tea was first created when Anne, Seventh Duchess of Bedford,
grew tired of the sinking feeling which afflicted her every afternoon
around four o'clock during the long dull space between meals.
In 1840, she plucked up the courage and asked for a
tray of tea, bread, butter, and cake to be brought to her room.
Once she formed the habit, she found it impossible to break.
Thus, the traditional Afternoon Tea was born and still
remains a welcome respite in the afternoon!
Tea is served Monday-Saturday, in The Chateau Grille.
$14.00 a person and includes:
Assorted Tea Sandwiches, Mini Fresh Baked Scones with Crème Anglaise and Fruit Preserves
We ask that you make reservations 24 hours in advance

Virgin Nigeria has been revealed as the launch customer for the extended range version of the Embraer 170.
The Lagos-based carrier holds standing orders for seven E-170s and all seven are being produced as extended range "AR" variants, Embraer executive VP airline market Mauro Kern tells ATI.
In May 2007 Embraer said it would introduce AR versions of both the E-170 and E-175, and revealed Northwest Airlines as the launch customer for the E-175AR variant.
The US major's Compass Airlines subsidiary initially operated only E-175LRs, but these were delivered with some structural modifications to enable an upgrade to the E-175AR.
"Northwest received the last three aircraft [of a 36-strong order] in the certified AR version," says Kern.
"As Northwest has all aircraft in the proper structural configuration, the upgrade shall consist only in the incorporation of a formal service bulletin increasing the design weights and the payload-range capability of the airplanes."
The AR version, which is available for the E-190 and E-195, adds an extra 200nm (370km) to the range of the E-170LR and E-175LR at full payload. The E-170LR's range is around 2,000nm while the range for the E-175LR is about 1,900nm.

text: Martin Scorsese's seminal 1975 drama Taxi Driver informs this tale of a neglected, Upper West Side outcast who slowly devolves into a potential murderer. John Leguizamo stars as Seymour, the mentally-challenged self-proclaimed "king" of the film's title. He's still in the care of his mother Mona (Julie Carmen), who is a protest organizer against their neighborhood's corrupt police practices. Although Mona lives happily with her lover Joanne (Rosie Perez), her ex-boyfriend Jack (Cliff Gorman) often shows up to antagonize the household, Seymour in particular. His assertion that the unstable young man is faking his malady only sends Seymour into an unpredictable rage. Shortly after the film's production, writer-director Seth Zvi Rosenfeld married his rambunctious star Perez; their friend Annabella Sciorra shows up in a supporting role. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Man acquitted in hospital assault is arrested in theft, stabbing
Three days after an Eastern Washington man was acquitted of assaulting a nurse at Seattle's Virginia Mason Medical Center and released from the King County Jail, he was arrested in the stabbing of a loss-prevention officer who confronted him about the theft of a Seahawks sweatshirt.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Three days after a King County jury acquitted a 30-year-old Eastern Washington man of assaulting a nurse at Virginia Mason Medical Center, he was arrested by Seattle police for allegedly stealing a Seahawks sweatshirt and attacking a loss-prevention officer with a knife.
Patrick Page waived his first court appearance Monday, when a judge found probable cause to hold him on investigation of robbery for the alleged theft and knife attack Sunday outside a Rite Aid Pharmacy on Capitol Hill, according to the King County Prosecutor's Office.
On Tuesday, a judge set Page's bail at $100,000.
Jail and court records show Page, who has last known addresses in Spokane and Wenatchee, spent more than four months in the King County Jail before he was released last Wednesday, the same day a jury found him not guilty of third-degree assault.
In that assault case, Page went to Virginia Mason on Sept. 6 to be treated for hallucinations and blisters on his feet and was placed in a psychiatric holding room, court records say. At the time, there was a state Department of Corrections warrant for his arrest for escaping community custody, as well as another felony warrant for his arrest, according to the records.
Dressed in a hospital gown, Page tried to leave Virginia Mason after staff told him that Seattle police had been notified of his warrants. He was accused of punching and biting a nurse who tried to stop him from leaving, according to the records.
At his Superior Court trial, he apparently argued that he used lawful force in self-defense during the hospital confrontation.
Just before 4 p.m. Sunday, Page allegedly stuffed a Seahawks sweatshirt into his backpack at the Rite Aid at 201 E. Broadway and walked out without paying, according to the statement of probable cause outlining the police case against him.
When he was confronted outside the store by a loss-prevention officer, Page is accused of pulling out a serrated knife wrapped in a white washcloth and jabbing the officer repeatedly in the head, the statement says.
The store employee suffered numerous superficial lacerations to his head, it says.
Page then allegedly dropped the knife, rag and sweatshirt and took off running toward Cal Anderson Park before a police officer found him hiding in a nearby stairwell, the statement says. Witnesses identified Page — who was wearing a Seahawks cap — as the man they had seen stabbing the loss-prevention officer, according to the statement.
Seattle Times news researcher Miyoko Wolf contributed to this report.
