Former state lawmaker Steve Nunn apologized to the family of the woman that he pleaded guilty to shooting and killing four years ago.
Nunn is serving a life sentence in prison for the 2009 death of his former fiancee, Amanda Ross.
Nunn made the apology during a court hearing Friday in Lexington over how much access he should have to his lawyer's file in the criminal case.
Nunn addressed his comments to Ross' mother, who was not in the courtroom.
The comments were his first about the killing since he pleaded guilty.

The Thrift Savings Plan is a retirement savings plan for Federal civilian employees serving on permanent appointments or temporary appointments of 1 year or more. You may elect to enroll in the TSP within 60 days of your appointment or during the TSP Open Seasons which occur twice each year. Your election will remain in effect until you submit another election during a subsequent TSP Open Season or until you leave Federal service.
However, because your TSP account is for your retirement, there are restrictions on withdrawing your money while you are employed. A major advantage of the TSP is that you pay no taxes on contributions or earnings until you withdraw your account. Similar savings and tax advantages are available in 401(k) plans offered by corporations in the private sector.
Detailed information about the TSP. Be sure to review the informational booklet, "Summary of the Thrift Savings Plan for Federal Employees," before you make any TSP decisions. For detailed information on TSP investment funds, read the "Guide to TSP Investments."
All contributions to your account will be invested in the Government Securities and Investment (G) Fund until you direct the TSP record keeper to allocate your contributions differently. There are five TSP funds, and the Plan Summary and the Investment Guide describe the funds and discuss their risks and advantages.
To allocate your contributions among the five investment funds, use the TSP Web site or call the ThriftLine at (504) 255-8777. As a newly hired employee, you will receive a TSP Personal Identification Number (PIN) in the mail when your new account has been established (6-8 weeks after you begin participating or receive agency contributions). You will need your Social Security number and your TSP PIN to make an investment election.

You need to enable kernel preemption in the kernel features section and
the realtime LSM (Linux Security Model) in the Security section. For it
to be enabled, you have to uncheck (I don't know why) the "common linux
capabilities".I don't have the latest 2.6.12, but a 2.6.12-rc4 patched with the mm patch.
However I still have serious xrun problems even with fairly large
periods (512, even 1024). I later found two possible causes of this
problem, which are independent of the kernel:1) If you have an independent kernel module, such as the semi-closed one
that NVidia provides, it is clearly not patched for realtime! This is my
case. Maybe for audio I should use the nv module included in the kernel
distribution.2) The video card assigns itself the maximum priority in the PCI bus,
while the USB or the onboard audio (I have an onboard intel8x0 chipset
and I use an external MAudio MobilePre USB) have the lowest possible
priority on the bus.
Thus, during even naive graphic operations (such as the raising of a
window), I get xruns. Nor to mention if I run glxgears or something like
that.This can be fixed using the "setpci" command to force a lower priority
on the video card and to raise the audio. I didn't try this yet, but
it's promising. Of course, you'd get worse graphics performance, but
you don't want both things at the same time do you?These are my advices. Please (anyone) try them and tell me if it made a
difference. I'll test them myself when I have some time.Regards,

Who said you can't have wings for breakfast? To be fair, those wings do come with eggs or waffles. At R&J Southern Home Cooking Restaurant, a prominent southern influence springs forth starting with the first meal of the day. It carries through the afternoon and culminates at dinnertime, when cooks presents diners with an eclectic spread of seafood and soul food. A quick peek at their cookbook reveals the source of this inspiration; rather than using the generic recipes found as prizes in cereal boxes, the restaurant relies on time-tested family favorites, including some recipes that originated in Louisiana and Arkansas. Those guidelines now fill the menu with authentic southern eats, including entrees such as smothered steak, catfish filets, and gumbo.
At Tarascos, owner Antonio Garcia and his chefs blend the comfortable and familiar with the slightly out of the ordinary. A chalkboard-scrawled menu lists Mexican classics such as enchiladas alongside lesser-known dishes such as huaraches, large, oblong tortillas stacked with charbroiled meats. Plates of barbacoa feature the seasoned beef wrapped in maguey leaves and slow-steamed until tender. Likewise, the tap menu mixes Mexican imports such as Pacifico and Modelo Especial with Tarascos's own home-brewed organic beers.
Patrons can dine inside or outdoors on a beer garden–style patio shaded from weather and warmed with gas heaters. On the patio, Tarascos also regularly holds cooking classes, such as a tamale class that was featured on ABC 7.
Borne from founder Aharon Klein's love of grilling and seasoning ocean-fresh seafood, Fish Grill sizzles a menu of wraps, pastas, and sandwiches starring juicy fillets of fish amid old-fashioned nautical d?cor. Chefs seal in succulent flavors by searing every fillet over smoky mesquite at a clean 1,000 degrees?roughly the temperature at which oceans melt. Each tasty dish of trout, tuna, salmon or ahi arrives tailored to the diner's tastes and prepared under the 3,300-year-old guidelines of kosher dietary law.
Cooks at Pescado Mojado Seafood Grill prepare the menu of fresh seafood in Sinaloan style, stacking half avocados with fresh-fish ceviche, frying whole tilapia, and stuffing soft tortillas with spicy shrimp. Diners dive into burrito dinners and quesadillas while seated at the blue and white booths and checking a wall mural of the ocean for the Dawn Treader.
Seasoned by 39 years of sea cookery, Oyster House Saloon's chefs summon the fruits of the ocean into a menu of saltwater treasures. Slurp down the briny juices of four oyster shooters, not to be confused with the ammo-slinging shooter oyster. Seafood-stuffed calamari steak entrees ride waves of pasta, and fryer-kissed frog legs simmer in garlicky linguini. House wines crushed from grapes such as chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot harmonize with entree flavors, performing sea-shanty covers of "Hotel California."

Colleen Turner describes her style of cooking as "simple and clean."
This doesn't mean plain and boring however. Her dishes are flavorful with extra attention given to presentation.
One of her unique approaches to feeding her family and friends is to offer interesting appetizers before a meal. "I like to have something for everyone to munch on while they talk and wait for dinner," she said.
Her appetizer course is often just an interesting collection of sweet and savory items from her refrigerator. "I like to have different textures and colors," she said while arranging an appetizer tray for her family and a guest.
She started with a large chunk of cambozola cheese, one of her husband Mark's favorites. The cheese has the moist, creamy flavor of Camembert and the sharp flavor of Gorgonzola.
Another section of the tray holds castelvetrano olives, a buttery, salty olive that is another family favorite.
To finish off the tray, she adds cucumber slices, crackers, red grapes and roasted red peppers. She often uses dates, almonds and figs on appetizer trays, also.
Another one of Turner's quick and easy appetizers begins with a loaf of French bread that she splits horizontally and drizzles with olive oil before lightly toasting it, cut side down on the grill.
The bread is then sliced and each slice is topped with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a thick slice of cucumber. After arranging it all on a plate, she drizzles it all with olive oil.
"I sometimes vary what goes on top of the cheese — sun-dried tomatoes work really well, too," she said.
One appetizer that always get rave reviews is her stuffed peppers. Turner drains a jar of hot and sweet cherry peppers. She stuffs each of the soft peppers with honey goat cheese.
"I drizzle on the olive oil and broil them just until they are bubbly — about three minutes. Then I sprinkle on a few crystallized salt flakes. Everyone loves them," she said.
Turner doesn't feel that dinner needs to always be a meat, potato and vegetable combo. "I like to have meat but sometimes I have a salad with the meat or two vegetables. I don't think you need to have a carbohydrate for every meat. If you have a grilled fillet, sometimes a salad is all that needs to be added to the plate," she said.
When Turner first cooked for her husband, he was a professional football player on a Canadian team. "I cooked for him and his teammates and the meals were much heartier," she said.
"But after having children, things have changed. We try to eat more healthy." The 49-year-old mother of four children has perfected lighter options for meals.
For example, she has found that shredded zucchini have a flavor and texture very similar to a pasta salad "without all the carbohydrates," she said.
Another healthy family favorite has been what she calls "red soup." The vegetable rich soup gets its name from red color created by the generous portions of beets in the soup. In recent years, she has switched to a mixture of beet colors that changes the soup color to a lighter red but the soup can be made with all red beets.
She says the red soup also can be served cold as an gazpacho-like appetizer. Turner shares her recipes with Zucchini Past and Red Soup for others to try.
Colleen's Culinary Cue
Keep glass jars on the counter that are filled with healthy, easy-to-eat snack items like granola, almonds or spiced nuts. When the family wants a quick snack, they can grab a handful of these easy-to-find treats.
Red Soup
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
32 ounces low sodium chicken broth
3 red beets
3 yellow beets
2 turnips
9 small carrots
3 cobs of corn
6 cups water
salt and pepper to taste
fresh parsley
fresh mint
fresh chives
sour cream or Greek yogurt
Grill corn until done. Cool and cut kernels from the cob. Set aside. Brown ground turkey or chicken until cooked through. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Peel beets, turnips and carrots and place in a food processor to mince. The vegetables may need to be processed in multiple batches. Mince vegetables, allowing there to be some larger chunks for the soup. Place into broth. Add water and corn. Simmer on low for 60 minutes. Chop fresh mint, chives and parsley. When ready to serve, ladle soup into bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Sprinkle on chopped herbs and serve. Can be served cold as an appetizer also.
Zucchini Pasta
4 green zucchini
1 yellow zucchini
½ of a red onion
2 green onions, chopped to light green section.
¼ cup sliced kalamata olives
¼ cup fresh cilantro
5 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons balsamic reduction
Ribbon cut zucchini with a peeler into a large mixing bowl. Leave the peeling on the zucchini. Cut red onion into slivers and chop green onions to light green section. Add to zucchini. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with olives and drizzle with balsamic reduction. Crumble Gorgonzola cheese and sprinkle over mixture. Chop cilantro and sprinkle over all.

Updated Windows Live Web Services Rolling Out
Yesterday, some of you took notice that your account page for Windows Live has been updated with the new Windows Live look and feel. That was just the beginning! As Dharmesh Meta, Director of Windows Live Product Management (and all around good guy), explains over the next 24 hours you will be seeing quite a bit of changes occurring across the board for Windows Live. Were launching updated versions of Windows Live Home, Spaces, Events, and SkyDrive and launching completely new services for Windows Live such as Groups, Photos, and Profile. Essentially were launching the new face of Windows Live on the web today.
Changes youll see include a brand new common header across all the Windows Live web services (with themes) as well as 25GB of *free* storage in SkyDrive and more! For an overview of whats changing see todays post from Dharmesh with lots of cool screenshots. Ill be posting later this week about the Windows Live web services after they are all officially live for everyone. |

Gear Review
Solid Jib Deck
I've been doing this a lot in my reviews this year, but I know that many people are finding the comparison to other decks helpful so I'm going to continue with it.
Lib Skate Banana, Burton Hero, Ride Crush, Never Summer Evo... Are these boards that you are considering for the 2010 season? The Sub Zero is another board that you should add to your list if you're thinking about the boards above.
Last year Nitro's big Early Release board with the Sub Pop, the Sub Zero is the same exact deck just with a new name and graphic. Nitro uses their Gulwing Rocker tech which is similar to that of Never Summer with a slight difference.
The board rockers in the middle to the binding inserts, but the middle of the board is thinned out pretty aggressively making it probably the softest boards I have ever been on. But I tried as hard as I could and couldn't snap the board between the inserts.
When you get to the binding inserts the board has a normal camber so that you still have an effective edge that you can carve on and doesn't get washy when you're carving. Nitro has also brought back their dished base from the old T0 board circa 1999. Adding a slight dish to the base around the deck, combined with rocker virtually eliminates hangup that put you on your ass when sliding rails and boxes.
If you're more of an all around park rider I would suggest checking out the T1 and if you're a jibber but not into the Rocker fad, make sure to take a glance at the Nitro Swindle.
you said for all around park ridding t1 and jibbing but not feeling rocker swindle, if im and all around park ridder but like a softer deck for pressing but rockers are too flimsy where does this deck fall

geographical name \ˌbō-(ˌ)pü-tät-ˈswä-nä\Definition of BOPHUTHATSWANA
(Concise Encyclopedia)Former Bantustan, Republic of South Africa. Consisting of a group of noncontiguous black enclaves, it was established by South African authorities as a Bantustan, or homeland, for the Tswana people. South Africa declared Bophuthatswana independent in 1977, with its capital at Mmabatho, but its independence was never internationally recognized. In 1994, after the abolition of apartheid, Bophuthatswana was dissolved, and the area was reincorporated into South Africa. Its various enclaves, with a population of more than 2.5 million, became parts of Orange Free State (now Free State) and the newly created North-West and Eastern Transvaal (now Mpumalanga) provinces.

HARMANâs AKG Enters Red Bull Air Race World Championships 2014 with Wireless Microphone Systems
ROVINJ, Croatia â While Hannes Arch, co-architect of HARMANâs AKG AV100 aviation headphones, was the winner of the Red Bull Air Race in Rovinj, Croatia, the moderatorâs bench was left wanting for nothing with their own set of HARMANâs AKG wireless microphones, headsets and in-ear monitoring systems. The AKG systems enabled flawless communication on and off the racecourse during the commencement and winner ceremonies.
The system at the Red Bull Air Race featured the AKG DAM+ Series gooseneck microphones, equipped with CK49 capsules for the desks, capturing the sound of live commentators and the winners of the contest. The capsule is designed to capture the best sound in any indoor and outdoor environment, honing in on voices at greater distances, and reducing pop noise at short distances. Combined with the AKG WMS4500, DHT700 and DMS700 wireless microphone systems, the announcers were well-equipped for the show.
âRed Bull wanted to bring pristine audio performance and crystal-clear communication to this competition, which is why these AKG systems were perfect solutions for the Red Bull Air Race,â said Walter Rührig, Artist & Key Customer Relations, AKG. âIn an outdoor environment like this, it is essential that we provided gear like the CK49 with windscreens, to reduce wind and pop noise during interviews and live announcements. The equipment performed perfectly without hiccups, which is a testament to AKGâs reliability.â
HARMAN (www.harman.com) designs, manufactures, and markets a wide range of infotainment and audio solutions for the automotive, consumer, and professional markets. It is a recognized world leader across its customer segments with premium brands including AKG®, Harman Kardon®, Infinity®, JBL®, Lexicon®, and Mark Levinson® and leading-edge connectivity, safety and audio technologies.

Making of Islands
When we started making this game, we had no idea how big a bamboo structure we could fit on the screen. We also didn't know yet from which perspective the structure should be shown or how should it be drawn to make it look good, clear and functional.
We had to start from somewhere, so we created this simple mockup screenshot to see what the game could look like.
Here is a quick test which was made to have some kind of an idea what kind of backgrounds could work in the game.
The mockup screenshots weren't enough to give us a clear vision how the game would feel like when you actually tried building something on the screen. This is why we made a quick prototype of the game. The physics weren't final, but the structure could already bend and break in a really interesting, realistic and nice way. We also added the builder monkey in the prototype to see if it would work or if it was just irritating. It was kind of OK'ish in the prototype so we kept it for some time.
The game prototype let our lead designer's imagination loose when he started playing with the physics engine to find out it's limitations...
When we had decided how big the structures and monkeys should be, we moved forward and started experimenting on different kinds of dangerous things that could be found from the game level. These dangerous things would break the bamboo tower on contact.
By this time the coders had already made an advanced version of the game engine. This helped our graphic designers when they were creating different kinds of visualization tests of the test game levels. They took a screen shot of the game and added backgrounds to them to see if they would work or not.
Soon it became obvious that the game would look much better if we added some 3D like depth to the background graphics. This image was created to test how many different parallax layers we would need in the background. The result looks nice and full of trees and vegetation.
One day we received a brief e-mail from our lead graphic designer:
June 10th, 2008 - 3:48 PM
TOPIC: "Lets Next Gen!"
Lets not this (boring) gen with monkey.
Lets Next Gen With First Person Monkeys!
Needles to say, he can actually write perfect english, this day he just chose not to.
These are the phases the jungle background went through during the development. The last three images show the backgrounds in action.
Here is a test on what one of the islands could look like during different times of the day. We ended up using just one of them in the game. Can you tell which one?
Here are five sketches what kind of cave environment might work in the game. Can you tell which one was used in the game? (Hint: every good game has to have some lava in it!)
And here are some more of the background tests which we created before the final looks of the islands were chosen.
Making of Menus
Menus. They are the integral part of every game. They tie all parts of the game together. One important thing, which many players don't realize, is that menus should reveal lots of information about the underlying game and it's progression, so that everything doesn't have to be explained in tutorials. Menus explain alot about what the player must do to open up new game levels, which awards are available and how they are achieved. All this has to be thought out really carefully so it is easily understood by the player, without using popup text boxes. Here are some sketches of the menus demonstrating some of the things we tried during the design process.
From the very beginning it was clear that we wanted to show the islands together on the screen. The idea of rotating them to choose them was there from the beginning till the end.
This was our first take on the menu mockup screenshots. It had the mechanism to select the island you wanted as well as the level you wanted to play (the board is the level selection mechanism). There were several problems with this design, though. We needed to somehow show the player which game levels were played through and if the player had accomplished some of the tasks in the game level (bamboo limits etc.). In addition, our lead designer wasn't very fond of the board visuals containing the level names, so our lead graphic designer had to try something else.
So what if we didn't actually show the game levels at all in the Island Selection screen? What if we only showed some kind of progress meter in addition to the islands? The mask took the job of indicating progress in the island. What should the level selection screen look like? We wanted to show a beautiful picture of the island in the level selection screen, but this brought up a new problem: these screens now looked like they were taken from two different games!
One solution was to change the look of the Island Selection screen. Now we had three different screens: Island, Level and Mission select screens. It didn't take long for us to realize that this amount of menu diving wasn't very user friendly. We needed to remove atleast one menu stage to keep it simple. Everyone also missed the beautiful view of the ocean, so the lead graphic designer went back to the drawing board.
Here are some mockup screenshots showing what the screen could have looked like where the game tells the player that she has progressed in the game. We were thinking of using either masks, idols or treasure map pieces for this.
The main menu was also very different looking back then. The idea was to use the background graphics of that game level which the player had reached when he last played the game.
This is how the final game menus ended up looking. They contain all the needed information, still looking nice and understandable.
Making of Monkeys
In the beginning of the project we knew we wanted to create a game which had monkeys building towers in it. In the end it wasn't the monkeys building the towers, but the player building them for the monkeys. This proved to be a more suitable solution for mobile game purposes.
Finding the proper visual style for the game was a challenging task. There were lots of requirements that had to be met with the characters of the game:
The monkeys would need to look interesting.
They would need to look good on low resolution handset screens.
They would have to be easily animated by the graphic designers.
They needed to have clear and identifiable facial expressions for player feedback.
This is where it all started. A couple of completely different approaches were tried and tested. The big monkey was hilarious, but was technically challenging to create and wasn't as good as it could have been. The small monkey looked a bit more functional and interesting so we started looking closer into that monkey design.
Quickly made animation sequences were tried for proof of concept. Note that the monkey has a basket full of bamboo on his back at this point of development.
We also toyed with the idea of having two kinds of monkeys: builder monkeys and small monkeys which would eventually climb the tower and try to reach the level exit. These little guys eventually took over the whole game when we got rid of the builder monkey. Their appearance changed a couple of times during the development, though.
Eventually we wanted to find out how big the monkeys could be on the screen, without them affecting the game play too much. If the monkeys were too big and too many, the underlying bamboo structure would be hidden behind the monkeys. This would cause lots of problems to the game play. Here are a few comparisons between different looking monkeys and bamboo structure. Those little guys clearly look like they're related to the bigger monkey.
And so it happened that we were nearly satisfied with our monkey design, so we desided to create a more detailed rendition of it. This is what the monkeys would look in high resolution. They were changed to look a bit less weird and crazy. Now they looked sane.
The next step was to find out if we could add some gear on the monkey:
We still weren't satisfied with the monkeys appearance, so we tried some new looks for the monkeys.
Finally we found something we liked. The upper row of monkeys are the first revision and the lower row are the finished monkeys. You might wonder why there are three different looking final monkeys in this sketch. The reason for this is that at this time of development we were toying with the idea of using different weight monkeys as difficulty level for this game. In the end we decided against this idea and chose the medium one of the monkeys.
And here is the final monkey in all it's glory.
These are two funny extra pictures we wanted to show you. They were created by one of the graphicians while he was feeling a bit bored.
Making of Other Stuff
Here are some random things which we thought might be of interest to you.
This is a technical specification made for our coders by our lead designer. It shows how we first thought the controls should behave. Due to technical problems with this approach, we had to go another route which you're familiar with since you've already played the game.
This must be the very first sketch done for this game. It shows what kind of things could have been found from the game levels.
This carving is a quick sketch that could have been used throughout the game. In the end we didn't have any place to use these kinds of things so they were dropped during the development.
Colors! This color test made it clear for us which kind of color palette the game should have.
What kind of islands should the game have? How could they differ enough from each other so it was obvious which island's game level you were looking at? This was the first mockup created while trying to answer these questions.
We had plans to give players nice end animation sequences where the monkeys build an airplane and fly home. Unfortunately due to graphics restrictions we couldn't fit this in the mobile game so we cut it out.
Of course you also have to create graphics for marketing purposes. Here is an early draft of the title screen and the finished version.
And here's some more material created for marketing purposes.

Looking for names of cannas that have dark burgundy leaves and pink flowers. |

Dawn Pink comes to mind. https://www.cannas.net/shop/cart.asp?action=prod_detail&catid=-1&prodid=54 |
Here is a link that might be useful: Dawn Pink
A few more .. Futurity Pink, Futurity Rose, Wine and Roses, Rosever, Shenandoah, Purple Faise, Maggie, Barbara Hallman |
I purchased several bags of Pink Futurity Cannas because they are supposed to have dark purplish red folliage and Pink flowers. All sites I have looked at, say they have dark folliage, however all mine appear to have green folliage. They are planted in full Sun. Does the folliage darken with age or heat of Summer? The package shows the folliage as greenish more than Burgundy. I can see a purplish color along the edge of leaves, so I thought they may darken as they mature. |

Sorry but the leaves won't darken. It appears that your rhizomes were mislabeled. This happens quite often especially if you buy from box stores or discount stores. I hope they turned out to be pretty at least. Nancy |
All the cannas that I purchased as Pink Futurity came up incorrectly. They grew very tall and had scrawny little flowers that were orange. I purchased some from Karsh near the end of the season, and they were all dried up looking. I got one to sprout, but no bloom. It's foliage does appear to be the right color though.It has sprouted this Spring, so I will ust have to wait and see. I am still looking for Pink Futurity at a reasonable price. |

WHAT'S NEW - OCTOBER 1st, 2013
now have a PRIVATE Facebook Group called The St. George GrapeVine. This Group is shared with St. George Wine & Food. This Grape Vine is Private so it is by invitation
only and you will still need to be approved by a Group administrator to
see posts and participate. It will only be open to the members and
former members of both groups and other local wine lovers. Go here and click "Join" to get in on the news, information and conversations about wine and food!
Jean Dickson
started a wine and food tasting group several years ago in St. George.
She has now joined our club, and along with a couple of other
enthusiastic members, she will be helping us organize ourselves. If you
are interested in seeing what her club is about visit her website.
There is a waiting list to join, but occasionally she has cancellations
and people who drop out. If you are interested in being on the waiting
list contact Jean.
Because of some great volunteers our club is starting to get it's act together! Kristee Kilpack, Michael Proctor and Jean Dickson have stepped up to the plate to help us get organized. We are planning to have an event every other month starting this October with the Halloween Bash. Next event will be in December at the Loomis', February is TBA and Kristee Kilpack will be hosting the April event. We will be announcing more about these events on this website and on the GrapeVine.
Thanks for your patience.
This year's event was hosted at Bally's, and it went a bit rougher than 2011's bash at Paris. Once again it was heavily attended, but this year the layout made it difficult to relax and enjoy the many great wines, beers, sakes, foods and desserts.
Traffic was so heavy around the food items that they were nearly unreachable. Perhaps rectangular tables would have been better, allowing for lines on two sides? With round tables, there was no line -- just people milling around the table with others unable to get past. Additionally, with the event split between two rooms, there were some who didn't realize they were seeing only half of the vendors.
The wines, as expected, were very good. Unfortunately the event was tainted by the poor execution. I don't know where next year's event will be held, but I hope the organizers learned some lessons from this year and can get back to the level of service (and patron enjoyment) of years past.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Market segmentation is a marketing strategy that involves dividing a broad target market into subsets of consumers who have common needs and priorities, and then designing and implementing strategies to target them. Market segmentation strategies may be used to identify the target customers, and provide supporting data for positioning to achieve a marketing plan objective. Businesses may develop product differentiation strategies, or an undifferentiated approach, involving specific products or product lines depending on the specific demand and attributes of the target segment.
An ideal market segment meets all of the following criteria:
Marketers can segment according to geographic criteria—nations, states, regions, countries, languages, cities, neighborhoods, or postal codes. The geo-cluster approach combines demographic data with geographic data to create a more accurate or specific profile.[1] With respect to region, in rainy regions merchants can sell things like raincoats, umbrellas and gumboots. In hot regions, one can sell summer clothing. A small business commodity store may target only customers from the local neighborhood, while a larger department store can target its marketing towards several neighborhoods in a larger city or area, while ignoring customers in other continents. Geographic Segmentation is important and may be considered the first step to international marketing, followed by demographic and psychographic segmentation. The use of national boarders is the institutional use of geographic segmentation, although geographic segments may be classified by identified geological regions.
Demographic segmentation is dividing markets into different groups according to their age, gender, the amount of income, the ethnicity or religion of the market and the family life cycle.[2]
Behavioral segmentation divides consumers into groups according to their knowledge of, attitude towards, usage rate or response to a product[3]There is an extra connectivity with all other market related sources.
Psychographic segmentation, which is sometimes called Lifestyle. This is measured by studying the activities, interests, and opinions (AIOs) of customers. It considers how people spend their leisure,[4] and which external influences they are most responsive to and influenced by. Psychographic is highly important to segmentation, because it identifies the personal activities and targeted lifestyle the target subject endures, or the image they are attempting to project. Mass Media has a predominant influence and effect on Psychographic segmentation. Lifestyle products may pertain to high involvement products and purchase decisions, to speciality or luxury products and purchase decisions. Lifestyle segmentation reflects on how the target subject identifies themselves, or how they desire to identify themselves in society. By identifying and understanding consumer lifestyle, businesses can develop promotional mixes and product lines, which tailor to their needs.
Segmentation according to occasions relies on the special needs and desires of consumers on various occasions - for example, for products for use in relation with a certain holiday. Products such as decorations or lamps are marketed almost exclusively in the time leading up to the related event, and will not generally be available all year round. Another type of occasional market segments are people preparing for a wedding or a funeral, occasions which only occur a few times in a person's lifetime, but which happen so often in a large population that ongoing general demand makes for a worthwhile market segment.
Segmentation can take place according to benefits sought by the consumer.
Segmentation according to demography is based on variables such as age, gender, occupation and education level [5] or according to perceived benefits which a product/service may provide.
In Sales Territory Management, using more than one criterion to characterize the organization's accounts,[6] such as segmenting sales accounts by government, business, customer, etc. and account size/duration, in effort to increase time efficiency and sales volume.
The basic approach to retention-based segmentation is that a company tags each of its active customers with three values:
One of the most common indicators of high-risk customers is a drop off in usage of the company's service. For example, in the credit card industry this could be signaled through a customer's decline in spending on his or her card.
This determination boils down to whether the post-retention profit generated from the customer is predicted to be greater than the cost incurred to retain the customer.[7][8]
For customers who are deemed worthy of saving, it is essential for the company to know which save tactics are most likely to be successful. Tactics commonly used range from providing special customer discounts to sending customers communications that reinforce the value proposition of the given service.
Where a monopoly exists, the price of a product is likely to be higher than in a competitive market and the price can be increased further if the market can be segmented with different prices charged to different segments charging higher prices to those segments willing and able to pay more and charging less to those whose demand is price elastic. The price discriminator might need to create rate fences that will prevent members of a higher price segment from purchasing at the prices available to members of a lower price segment. This behavior is rational on the part of the monopolist, but is often seen by competition authorities as an abuse of a monopoly position, whether or not the monopoly itself is sanctioned. Areas in which this price discrimination is seen range from transportation to pharmaceuticals.[9] Price discrimination may be considered price-fixing under the control of an oligopoly or consortium in certain circumstances of deregulation and leisure.
Any existing discrete variable is a segmentation - this is called "a priori" segmentation, as opposed to "post-hoc" segmentation resulting from a research project commissioned to collect data on many customer attributes. Customers can be segmented by gender ('Male' or 'Female') or attitudes ('progressive' or 'conservative'), but also by discretized numeric variables, such as by age ("<30" or ">=30") or income ("The 99% (AGI<US $300,000)" vs "The 1% (AGI >= US $300,000)").
Common statistical techniques for segmentation analysis include:
In politics and sociology, divide and rule (or divide and conquer) is gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into pieces that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy. The concept refers to a strategy that breaks up existing power structures and prevents smaller power groups from linking up.[10]

I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
Asia is a most beautiful young long haired girl with an equally beautiful personality. She is calm and loving and loves to lounge in laps and purr. She is also a perfect bed buddy snuggler. She enjoys catnip toys, squirrel watching and is comfortable with other cats, but would prefer to be the queen of the house. She is not a fan of dogs. Asia recently suffered an infection that caused the loss of one eye; however, she's healthy, happy and as beautiful as ever! The loss as not affected her and she would love to find her forever home. Please contact Anne to meet me today firstname.lastname@example.com.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Asia, a Portland Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Portland, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Portland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Portland already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Portland breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Portland paves the way for another one to be saved.

A muted but deep depiction of this artist's state of mind
I have followed Townshend, The Who's guitarist and principal songwriter, since the mid-'70s, from listening to his tunes, seeing him perform and eventually having conversations with the man himself. At the New York Public Library's October 8 Q&A event to discuss Townshend's new autobiography, Who I Am, I've come full circle, back into strictly listening mode. It's the place the veteran rock star feels most at ease. He speaks, we listen.

Winter Weather Returning
Wednesday, April 2, 2014
(Minneapolis, MN) -- While we were near 60 degrees for the high to start the week yesterday, winter weather is back today in the Twin Cities and the rest of Minnesota. The National Weather Service is predicting small amounts of accumulating snow for Minneapolis and St. Paul. Northwest Minnesota is set to be pounded with snow, with up to 15 inches of fresh snow on the ground by later this morning. Schools in both Minnesota and North Dakota canceled classes for today on Monday in advance of the storm.

If anyone has a NW beta key they would be willing to donate, would be grateful. I donate keys when I have them, although right now all I have is DIII guest keys and Age of Wushu (send a PM if you need one). Thanks |
Beta Testing has not yet started. The only current ways to get a Beta key is either to be a Lifetime Member of either Star Trek Online or Champions Online. Keys were given away for the, now-ended, promotions of the Torchlight 2 Pre-Order and RaiderZ Founder Pack. Some keys were also given away at the Conventions as well and we even had a Spooky Adventure Contest on the Official Forums, in which we gave away some keys to the winners. Other than that, rigt now just by signing up for an account with Perfect World Entertainment (at playneverwinter.com), you'll be put into a pool to be randomly chosen to get a Beta Key, once Beta has begun. Don't be fooled by some of these sites claiming to give away keys. At the time of this post, they are more than likely scams and are not sanctioned by Perfect World Entertainment. Even if someone had a Beta Key right now, they could do nothing more with it than enter it into their PWE Account Information for, as I said, Beta has not yet begun so there is nothing to Beta Test at this time. Please review this thread for more information. While on the official site, you may also wish to take some time and read through the sticky FAQ or even partake in the forums. |

On average you basically get 3 to 4 hours of live boxing and an hour of live Buncey each week for £2.50 (I think that is about a pint, but don't quote me on it), some weeks more and some less and regardless of whats on and whether it features specific fighters one follows I feel nobody can argue that it represents excellent value.
But when you start to increase this sum to nearer £5.00 a week (we'll call that a couple of pints) it is more important that the content features fights and fighters that appeal specifically, this is harder to to do EVERY week.
You get an hour of Bunce for free a week. I think any higher than a tenner and you lose those who would sign up for a big fight especially with the registration fee.

Detailed phenotype data set guidelines Where do I send my data? Please send inquiries and data submissions to us at firstname.lastname@example.com How do I know if my phenotype data set is a candidate for MPD? Please review our phenotyping recommendations page... the closer your data conforms to the recommendations, the better. What must be submitted? Names of investigators and project title. The principal/corresponding investigator should be listed first. (Example) Publications (optional) – citations for any directly related publications. A data set. If you're contributing a phenotype strain survey data set, then continue reading below. Otherwise, if you're contributing a gene expression strain survey data set or SNP data please contact us first at email@example.com There are two options for supplying animal data for phenotype strain survey projects: Option A: A spreadsheet or text file where individual animals are shown as rows, and measurements are shown as columns. Each column must have a meaningful heading. For example: strainsexanimal_IDWBCRBCPLT... A/JfP014.369.191034... A/JfP024.309.241017... A/JfP034.389.151042... ... etc. ... A/JmP084.369.191034... A/JmP094.309.241017... A/JmP104.389.151042... ... etc. ... BALB/cByJfP234.369.191034... BALB/cByJfP244.309.241017... ... etc. ... Option B: A spreadsheet or text file having one row per animal measurement. This option is more verbose but sometimes easier to generate and manage. If this method is used, the data file should have these fields: strainsexanimal_IDparameter_nameparameter_value A/JfP01RBC9.19 A/JfP02RBC9.24 A/JfP03RBC9.15... ... etc. ... A/JfP01WBC4.36 A/JfP02WBC4.30 A/JfP03WBC4.38 ... etc. ... BALB/cByJfP23RBC9.19 BALB/cByJfP24RBC9.24 ... etc. ... Regardless of which option you use, check the MPD project recommendations for working parameters such number of strains to test and the number of animals per strain/sex that must be tested for reasonable statistical power. Individual animal data are greatly preferred over investigator-computed strain means. We'll compute strain means, SD, and other summary statistics using your individual animal values. Use of MPD missing data codes is recommended. Correct, current strain nomenclature is appreciated. A table of measurement descriptions and units. For example: varnamedescriptionunits WBCwhite blood cell countn/µL RBCred blood cell countn/µL PLTplatelet countn/µL This lets us know exactly what the values in the data set represent, and assists us in classifying your data into the MPD framework. There should be one row for each parameter in your data set. Information for the experimental protocol. If there's a pertinent publication given (as mentioned above) we will refer that first. Then we'll be in touch to gather necessary info, and we'll work to prepare an illustrated protocol document that you will have the chance to review. Here's an example illustrating of the types of information we typically gather. Animal documentation covering animal procurement, ages, environments, and diets. Same as protocol above... we will check publication and be in touch to gather necessary info, then we'll prepare animal documentation that you'll have the chance to review. Click here for an example. How are submissions evaluated and curated? Data submissions are subject to preliminary scientific review and acceptance. We evaluate and prioritize incoming data sets based on these factors: Is it complete and polished? Is the structure clear and concise? Does it serve to characterize mouse strains in a straightforward way? Are there measurements that (when taken individually) serve to characterize strains? Does it conform reasonably closely to the MPD project recommendations? What's the perceived community interest level? How suitable is it to MPD's present needs? Is it organized/formatted (see above) in a way that fits with the MPD structure/model? MPD's curatorial resources are limited, therefore timeframe may vary considerably. We may contact you to address structural issues, incomplete materials, or other problems. Status inquiries may be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com . A data submission may be deprioritized if: data do not seem to have been carefully reviewed or contain obvious errors or omissions data do not serve to characterize mouse strains in a straightforward way or seem to require complex multivariate analyses in order to characterize strains. After passing preliminary review, we'll load your data into a password-protected area of the MPD and send you instructions on how to preview it. We'll work with you to finalize the project. When project materials are deemed complete and you notify us of your approval, your data will be made available to the public*. Contributing data is sometimes an iterative process. For long-term projects, you can submit data periodically as the project progresses. We can also update project attributes (such as names of investigators, related publications, etc.) upon notification at any time. Succinctness is important. Data sets should be structured to include fields that tell the story in the most concise way, so that the community can grasp and work with your data. If your data set includes additional "supporting" measurements, let us know so these can be stored in the data set but not represented as MPD measurements for display or correlations purposes. * Important! Please do not use the MPD as a means to review and analyze data (such as to prepare a publication) without intending to release your data to the public within a reasonable amount of time. We reserve the right to automatically release data to the public 60 days after it is deemed complete if momentum towards release seems stalled.

Great casino campground with over 200 sites. Shuttle service to casino. Restrooms are very clean, showers are not "private" which is a negative in my opinion, there are individual showers with a common dressing area. - Teacher's Pet
See my previous (5/14) review for a description of the park facilities. We stayed here twice on this trip going to and coming back from Texas. Rate is based on getting first day (a Saturday) free and the later 2 at the weekday rate. We were able to get our preferred site (more level than most sites and able to use just our 15' sewer hose) on the first day but had a bad site (still not level even because we had to pull too far forward so that our backup 20' sewer hose would reach the too far forward sewer connection) on the 2 day stay later. Although the park was relatively empty during our two day stay, their Wi-Fi network was unusually slow and dropped several times during our stay. Strange, since we had no problems 10 days earlier on a very crowded Saturday. Still a good park with some flaws. - Jerry S
There are only a little over 100 RV sites. The rest of the sites in the 206 total shown above are cabins/chalets. All but a few sites are long, wide, pull-throughs with cement pads and patios. All sites are FHU with cable TV. The WiFi worked for us. The recreational facilities (pool, playground, fishing pond, etc.) are resort quality. All of the sites I have used here have a front to back downward slope. With the sewer receptacle in the front half of the site, motor homes have to park forward causing leveling problems. This has always been the big negative at this park for me. - Jerry S

The office wasn't open when we arrived but a quick phone call and someone arrived. We had a grass site that was level. The mosquitoes were bad in the evening but we did hear the fogger driving around about 11:00 pm. Since we were only one night I don't know if the mosquitoes were better after they fogged. It seemed that most of the people staying long-term were around the perimeter and the short-term were in the middle section. This gave more of a camping feel to the park. The bathrooms seemed clean though we didn't use them. The park is a good distance off of I-10. There were some smaller stores within a few miles for basic items. Our $16 rate was for Passport America. - Michaeljess
When we arrived on Sat afternoon early, no one in the office. We had problems with the electricity to site 71 (72 & 73 also). There was no breaker at power point. We figured out what appeared to be an old mobile home power pedestal had breakers which controlled several other power outlets. We later discovered that the power was not grounded. Since we were setup, we didn't move. There was no one to complain to since it was Easter weekend.We did complain on Monday, but attitude was that things were beyond owners control regarding the electricity. Tuesday morning at 3 am a four hour thunderstorm hit. The sites didn't drain about 2-3 inches of standing water. We took dogs for a walk and our blind female dog started yelling and crying, went into convulsion and her legs were all contracted. My wife handed her up the steps to me and we all got shocked. We were very unhappy and the attitude was that they can't do anything until they know about it. There is such a thing a preventative maintenance. You risk your life staying here! - bilmo
Rate is Passport America. Tax makes nightly rare $13.50. Older park but well kept. Older buildings, each have that closed musty odor. Sites are long, but some side by side hookups so rigs may be parked close to each other although park wasn't full so no problem. No amenities but a nice quiet place for a few nights stay and we would return if in area. - PappaDee

Tile-Based Collision\Physics Problem
#1 Members - Reputation: 101
Posted 31 March 2012 - 03:48 PM
so I'm working on a tile-based game: 16x16 player, 16x16 tiles. the hitbox for the player is 16x16.
I got a problem that I have no idea how to solve, I tried different type of collisions to do it, basically the player's velocity is so high that he just flys above 1-tile holes..
let's say i'm trying to jump into 1 space hole vertically horizontally or whatever and I can't because of my velocity, even if it's very low, 1 pixel off is enough to make him not fit inside the hole, and I have no idea what to do, help?

Alternatively, you could do some kinda funky stuff, like, if you're going down and the bottom edge of the collision box is going to cross a tile boundary, then move down to that tile boundary (without bothering to check collisions since you couldn't hit anything without changing tiles), and then do the X motion, and then do the rest of the Y motion. That way regardless of how fast you're falling, you'll always be lined up properly to squeeze into small gaps in walls. Not sure how to apply this to gaps in floors/ceilings at the same time though.

You need to use smaller step, such as "tileSize - 1", to move, until the total steps meet the velocity.
If the velocity is 20, and your tile size is 16, you first move 15 pixels, then move another 5 pixels.
Isn't moving one pixel too small and may hit the performance? Any special reason?

wqking got the best answer.. I think you have to test if you must use "tileSize - 1" instead of "tileSize"..
now when u find a hole underneath, align the player to it and make it fall, whatever gravity u have.

From your initial post when you wrote "
basically the player's velocity is so high that he just flys above 1-tile holes.." i'm brought back to a problem i had on a game i developed a few month back. Are you sure that you are hit testing the NEXT position the character till take and not the one it currently has.
[left]Lets say you char has these values. X = 5; Y = 5; and you press your left key which will increment X by 5 and Y by 0. To have a successful collision-detection you need to make sure that you are searching for a collision in X = 10 and Y = 5 BEFORE you let your character move. If there is a collision simply don't move him, if not feel free to let him move.#12 Members - Reputation: 288

If I've gotten it right this time i'd suggest you make a function to detect if the character has 2 blocks near him (with further collision detection) and if he has just let him slip through and don't care about the collision restriction.
