Comments about Miele Cat and Dog S8380 Vacuum Cleaner:
We've had this machine for about a week. Just finished remodeling our downstairs floor and put in about 800 feet of hardwood and tile. Also installed about 400 feet of new carpet in the formal living room and stairs. I run this unit everyday because it works so well. We have four dogs and it picks up everything well. You can't go wrong. Worth the money so far. Hoping it holds up for many years.

Egypt: Protesters storm Muslim Brotherhood's HQ
By HAMZA HENDAWI
Associated Press
CAIRO (AP) — Protesters have stormed and ransacked the Cairo headquarters of President Mohammed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood Islamist group.
An Associated Press video journalist at the scene says protesters stormed the six-story building in an eastern Cairo district Monday morning, leaving the heavily fortified villa with furniture and files.
Footage on local TV networks showed smashed windows and smoke billowing out of the building. One protester was seen removing the Muslim Brotherhood sign from the building's front wall.
The storming of the Brotherhood's headquarters followed overnight clashes between armed Morsi supporters barricaded inside the building and young protesters pelting it with firebombs and rocks. Activists say at least five protesters were killed in the violence.

A funeral was held at Fort Carson Thursday morning for Captain Dale Goetz, an Army chaplain killed last week in Afghanistan.
Goetz was killed when a roadside bomb exploded. He was one of several men who died when their convoy was hit near Kandahar province. He will be buried at Fort Logan National Cemetary in Denver.
A group of about two dozen people lined the road outside Fort Carson carrying signs in support of our troops. Rumors had circulated that a church group from Kansas would rally at Fort Carson, but that group's website showed only one protest scheduled -- that one in Skokie, Illinois.

Why Local Businesses Should Stop Focusing On Their Facebook Page
All too often we see local businesses spend way too much time crafting their Facebook pages and trying to force engagement. Even if it does happen, it's not the best way to spend their social media time. They have an advantage over big brands: touching the people.
When Omahama Bob first started using Facebook to help market their local business, they put in a lot of effort to build up their "likes", create engagement on the page, add pictures of patrons, and turn it into a resource for their business. They have been more successful than most, creating posts that people liked and getting some comments.
They have done everything very well when viewed through the lens of a Facebook guru or social media marketing effort. The only challenge is that it hasn't actually helped to increase business.
What went wrong?
Local businesses are faced with the challenge of trying to hyper-target their messages to a local audience while still picking up enough steam from the broader Facebook community to bump up engagement and improve their Edge Rank. The problem that they often have is that this takes time both on Facebook and in real life.
Big brands have the advantage when it comes to mass attention. People are listening, liking, and engaging. For local businesses, it's a struggle.
What they don't realize is that they're not using their time and efforts for the most rewarding component of localized social media. The advantage that small businesses have over big businesses is the personal attention to the customers that gives them the opportunity to dramatically amplify their brand messaging. All they have to do is ask.
It's Not What You Say About Yourself...
People listen to other people. It's that simple. They have become almost immune to the messages that are being sent out by businesses, particularly on social media. They skip over it, block it, ignore it, report it, or whatever else they can think of doing to get the brands out of their face even if they were the ones who liked the page in the first place.
They will listen to their friends and family on Facebook. Why aren't more local businesses using this to their advantage? It's a matter of asking. That's all it takes. The messages sent out by people at the place of business mean everything and will be seen by more local people than anything a business does on their own page.
In the case of a barbeque joint like Bob's, this should be easy. Servers walk up to every table and ask, "How was everything?"
At this point, they'll get good, bad, or lukewarm feedback. Whenever they get good feedback, it's time to apply social media to the equation. "I'm glad you liked it! If you're on Facebook and you have your smartphone with you, I can offer you a free slice of apple pie if you'll let your Facebook friends know you're here."
Who can say no to that? Well, a lot of people will say no, actually, normally because they're full, they're not on Facebook, or they don't want to tell people that they just ate barbeque... but some won't. Some will love the idea. Some will pull out their smartphones immediately.
When they do, the server should ask, "Would you like me to take a picture of you guys to post on Facebook?"
You get the picture (hopefully).
That single activity will get more attention, feedback, branding, interest, questions, and most importantly new customers than any other activity a local business could do on Facebook.
It's bold. It's aggressive. It's risky. It's also extremely rewarding when done right. A slice of apple pie costs dimes. A new customer, particularly one who can eventually become a loyal regular visitor, is worth a lot more than the gumption it took to put in the practice and the extra apple pies you're going to have to keep in stock.

JD, I respectfull disagree with you. The main reason local businesses fail at Facebook marketing is because they try to sell, sell, sell. They don't realize as you said it's not about them.
Facebook is about building an engaged community of clients and customers around their brand. The better they understand this the less likely they'll ever have to discount their products and services.
Businesses that understand and embrace social media will have a decisive strategic advantage over their competition. Having a good strategy that is in alignment with your business objectives can provide the company with instant feedback, reputation management, brand awareness and trends in their market all for a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing. Not to mention the word-of-mouth benefits and the amount of reach this platform provides.
The other disadvantage of local businesses is many will use a staff member to post updates and manage their Facebook pages. The irony is you would never have your secretary create a TV commercial or do a radio ad. The thought process is they have been using a personal Facebook page to communicate with their friends so why not use them for your business. A business page is not the same as a personal page.
The biggest advantage big brands have over local businesses is they have experts managing their social media campaigns. In some case an entire team of social media experts. This doesn't mean that local businesses can't compete. When you compare the cost of social media to traditional marketing, a well planned out social media strategy is much less expensive.

Great article. Too often people look at Social Media as just another marketing channel. It's all about engagement! Get your happy patrons talking about you. And you can't expect them to do it without asking them ... It's amazing what happens when you simply ask.
Apr 29 Posted 2 years ago
You are right on! Face book has confused so many Boomers on what Social Media is and how it can help them grow Biz. In the hospitality business (hotels) review sites that reach the world is very effective. Yet most general managers are clueless to this free but impactful tool. So many hotels have not tried to understand this media form. Most are resistant to learning about it, almost as if they are givene a hall pass since it did not come up in thier generation.
Apr 27 Posted 2 years ago
I completely agree with your here JD. I have helped many local businesess with their Facebook marketing and most don't quite understand the link between online and offline. There is only so much you can do on the Fan Page itself, if nothing changes in-store that it's very difficult to actually show at rerturn on their investment.
This is something I make a BIG deal of when visiting local businesses and will continue to do so until they get it right!
Great post :)
Apr 24 Posted 2 years ago
Great article JD! This is the kind of forward thinking small business owners must grasp. Think of how the consumer feels, wants and needs will be key. Social media is just the tool in getting the message out there. You offer an excellent example of how this can be accomplished.
A Facebook Fan Page is still required, however, as you say, spending that much time and effort on putting up the perfect posts, articles or images is not going to equate to increased sales. When you have people sharing your information, that is when your visibility goes up, you build confidence and even trust, if your customers family and friends are sharing good things about you, your products or services. -
Apr 23 Posted 2 years ago
I really liked this piece, thank you. Many businesses don't seem to get the fact that people don't like being sold to 24/7. Morever, they dont realise that social media becomes much more effective when you can meld the online/offline experience. E.G. - When they do, the server should ask, "Would you like me to take a picture of you guys to post on Facebook?"
Apr 23 Posted 2 years ago
I think that we're just at the start of the social age so a lot of companies are just learning how to proceed with social media. I definitely agree that asking things like customers to take and share picture is a great overall strategy. I understand the obsession around getting more likes, but there's more to Facebook than just getting likes, its about overall activity, presentation, and engagement. The reason that so many brands are struggling with converting fans to actual activity and sales is that they don't really get social media. Too many companies are of the mindset that all they really have to do to succeed is set up a Facebook page, throw a few bucks into Facebook ads, maybe use one of the types of companies at http://www.buyfacebookfansreviews.com and that will just automatically catapult them to success. Things don't work out that way online. They have to be able to offer something to people that they value and listen to their customers. This is the best way to achieve long-term success. The additional factor here is that while Facebook offers features to increase engagement, those features are really only designed to increase engagement on Facebook pages themselves. You have to go out and offer people something of value on Facebook to really find a way to get success.
Apr 23 Posted 2 years ago
I Agree with this Article because i do not believe that personal life situations should be involved on a social site. Facebook is a website with pletny of access to have other people info in the open, me personally do not use it for personal info with so many scams, people should be aware that any kind of website can subscribe info.
Apr 23 Posted 2 years ago
Agree to this. there is only trend of getting likes on FB that may be not a good choice. Business need more utilization of Social Media for engagement.
Apr 23 Posted 2 years ago
I quite agree with this topic because I was confused about the role after we register as a paying customer to attract customers.After one year of being linked to my blogspot,I received 7,500 hits BUT..no business.Maybe one or two enquiries.In the first place the potential customers must have some reason to want to know more about what we offer,our niche, and why we should be considered as a good supplier.
I concentrated in changing Offers,packages and attractions to capture a potential customer.Still no result.By spending too much time on FB response, I have neglected on other openings & possible buyers.What should I do?
Apr 22 Posted 2 years ago
I'd have to agree with the post, engagement does not always equal response. The question still stands, what does? What does it take for someone to "click-through"? I'd say the first step would be $, the almighty dollar. Those empty promises that "this much" will bring you "this far". I'm seeing most of my conversation happen in Groups that I frequent. I won't "stop focusing" on my page, but I will spend more time on different networks trying to get someone, somewhere to speak up.
Apr 22 Posted 2 years ago
I very much agree with the at the table interaction. For Instagram, the servers should all know the Twitter address of the establishment in case someone is taking photos of food and wants easy help to mention through Twitter.
To me, it is very unfortunate that Timeline for Pages puts updates from fans into a tiny out of the way box where they will barely be seen. It's such a gift when a fan posts a photo of themselves at your establishment but though it will boost edgerank, it is almost invisible on the Page.
Apr 22 Posted 2 years ago
I agree with the actual application of social media, whichever channel is selected. in a strategic/skillfull manner within the confines of the store. However, the 'pull' mechanism of E2.0 must be fed somehow and to simply ignore FB as a way to feed he 'pull' would be, IMO, a disaster. There is nothing more disenchanting than when I get a pull from groupon, or FB for a store that looks interesting, then I hit their FB page and its deserted. Nothing there....no connections, nothing current, no real 'social chatter' to be seen/read. It makes me instantly not want to go to that store and do any business. Social Media has become for most, the 'main street' window walk that our parents used to take when they shopped. We buy and shop very differently and the FB pages need to feed the E2.0 engine or the 'pull' factor for all social consumers dies quickly. So, I say small businesses need FB pages more than ever and needto tie the social experience into the store operations as well....its both.

Comments about Vic Firth Danny Carey Signature Drumsticks:
I've tried these sticks on three separate occasions, and every time, they've either snapped in half, or the head has worn down within a month of buying them. They are some of the nicest sticks I've ever used, don't get me wrong, they just aren't the most durable for metal, or any drumming that requires lots of cymbals or rim shots. They'd be far better with a nylon tip.
Comments about Vic Firth Danny Carey Signature Drumsticks:
AMAZING BALANCE. Theres enough front weight for playing really fast singles, and the tapered back gives a great rebound. I've always played with 5A VF models and these are heavier but you have great control with the grooved back.These are good sticks for heavier playing.
Comments about Vic Firth Danny Carey Signature Drumsticks:
I will admit these are probably the best sticks I've ever held but I hate wood tips because they wear down too easily. If Danny had these made with nylon tips, they'd be absolutely perfect. Overall, a good pair of sticks.
Comments about Vic Firth Danny Carey Signature Drumsticks:
These sticks are awesome! They have great action and AMAZING rebound. They're perfect for heavy drumset playing.

A Vancouver man who has been a pilot and worked in the aircraft industry says the dedicated air ambulance helicopter announced for this region last month is inadequate and would work better with a non-profit organization behind it.
But one of the Kamloops residents involved in the lobby effort for the service disagrees, saying all air ambulance helicopters have limitations and the parties involved are making the best decisions possible.
Hans Dysartz was involved with the creation 26 years ago of the STARS non-profit air ambulance in Alberta, which is now moving into Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
He said he doesn't speak on behalf of STARS, but saw how communities rallied around the air service with support and donations.
It also means STARS operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with helicopters that have de-icing and night vision capabilities.
He has talked with B.C. politicians for years about setting up a similar system here, so he was particularly irked when Premier Christy Clark announced on Aug. 30 a dedicated air service for the Thompson Okanagan that the province is funding.
Donations of all kinds pour into STARS every year, keeping costs lower than they would for a government-funded service, Dysartz said.
"The current model doesn't give them that option to get involved. By involving them at this level, people in the communities build their own helipads, add their own navigation aids. In one town in Alberta, the community groups put out fuel caches for the helicopters," he said.
"Community spirit was fantastic."
But Bob Gray, who has been involved with a couple of groups trying to get air ambulance in Kamloops, said a similar model was tried a few years ago and failed.
BEARS didn't get off the ground like STARS did because it didn't have the oil and gas money that STARS did, for one reason, he said.
"BEARS tried it here. There is a totally different corporate mentality and citizen mentality in B.C. than there is in Alberta," he said.
He commended STARS for its success, while noting flying conditions are also different in B.C. than in Alberta.
"When you start looking at the whole history, the whole evolution, it's apples and oranges."
Dysartz was also critical of the Bell 412 currently being used in Kamloops for air ambulance, but Gray noted it's commonly used for air ambulance work.
Last month's announcement didn't specify what type of helicopter would be used in Kamloops, he added. It will go out for a call for proposals to meet specific requirements.
"It's generated a huge amount of interest across Canada because it's created an opportunity," Gray said.
Cameron Heke, STARS manager of media and public relations, said in a telephone interview from Calgary that 75 per cent of the organization's funding comes from corporate donations and grassroots fundraising. The remainder is from government health service agreements.
STARS flies to emergencies as much as possible.
"We fly at night. All pilots are trained to use night vision goggles. We fly to remote locations, into mountainous areas, we do search and rescues as well from time to time," said Heke.
Gray pointed out that some of the STARS helicopters were just grounded because of tail rotor problems. No chopper is perfect, he said.
"I really don't care what flies here. The key is dedicated with a budget. The aircraft is yet to be determined."
Dan Froom, a B.C. Ambulance Service spokesman, said the not-for-profit model might offer opportunities in the future.
But the provincewide system is cost effective, integrates air and ground transport and comes under government regulations, he said.
"There's also the accountability that comes with being a provincial service," he said.
"We're tasked with providing emergency health services for the citizens of B.C. We don't just provide air service. We provide emergency medical services to all of B.C."
The type of helicopter that will be used for the dedicated service in Kamloops hasn't been decided yet, he said. The Bell 412 was available and has worked so far, but that could change with the request for proposals.
"I have no idea what we're going to end up with. We'll put it out to industry, we'll balance the need and assessment," he said.

Israel's Supreme Court is due to consider whether the route of a West Bank separation barrier will run through a 4,000-year-old farming village near Bethlehem. Conservationists and activists are hoping the ancient irrigated terraces of Battir will be saved since the World Monuments Fund added the site to its endangered list earlier this month.
Israel began planning the new separation barrier in 2002 after a wave of suicide bombings, but many locals, conservationists and advocates say that most of the route runs through, and not around, Palestinian farmland and personal property. Palestinians from Battir's local council joined concerned Jewish neighbours and the non-governmental organisation Friends of Earth Middle East to fight for an interim injunction against the proposed route through Battir. Even Israel's Nature and Parks Authority opposed the plan. In a landmark ruling last year, the High Court ordered the Israeli Army to reroute the barrier. A Supreme Court hearing is due to take place on 10 December to consider the army's latest suggested route, but locals and advocates are concerned this could still harm cultural heritage and impose hardship on the community. They hope that Battir's importance will be better understood, now that it has been named an endangered site. The court must balance security needs with the protection of world heritage, says Gidon Bromberg, the head of Friends of Earth Middle East.The World Monuments Fund is the second international body to recognise Battir's historical and cultural value. In 2011, Battir won a Unesco prize for its preservation of ancient agricultural terraces and canals, dating to the Byzantine era and still used daily by farmers there.

I own two Virtual Boys (one broke..). Stupidest things I ever bought. Got a bunch of games et cetera but frankly they're near unplayable. I just want to be able to say "I did that stupid thing".
If the second breaks, I won't be scouring ebay again.

I own two Virtual Boys (one broke..). Stupidest things I ever bought. Got a bunch of games et cetera but frankly they're near unplayable. I just want to be able to say "I did that stupid thing".
If the second breaks, I won't be scouring ebay again.
I don't mind the review, but there's no denying that a score of 5 makes people go "ouch!" these days instead of "this is exactly in the middle of 1 and 10 and should therefore be taken as an average title". I long for a world where 7 means "really good" instead of average. Should we just mark everything out of 5 I wonder?
Anyway, I found the music comment to be a bit harsh. I personally love the overworld music and the up-tempo battle stuff. The underwater world music was charming, as well as wandering around Auria.. anyway, point being, the music in this game is serviceable with the odd stand out.
Fair's fair though, the localisation was shocking!
To echo some of the above, I just received a shipping notice from Shopto saying it was on the way.
Unexpected.. welcome.
She talks like FLUDD... I cant quite figure out what accent that is.
Still, fun stuff! Though I am about as useless in the kitchen as any one can be. I am impressed by her creativity, but also her ability not to shout "FFS MAKE FZERO" at the Nintendo execs in front of her.
I bought the disc.. I don't love all the sports, but I'm a sucker for a retail release of such things. It's a decent enough price on Shopto if ever you're interested, particularly if you end up with a Gold membership because you've spent far, far too much money in recent years feeding this awful habit..
Backed. I want more of this asymmetry I was promised. Even something as simple as the "Pad player" being Bowser in Mario Party hasn't happened yet. An F Zero track generator where the pad allows you to draw, pull and twist a loop into shapes? I feel Wii U Battleships should exist by now also...
Anyway, backed this game because it delivers on that promise! I've grown to love RTS fantasy in recent months so this came along at exactly the right time for me.
Don't say this often, but I really hope DLC is a thing for this Mario Kart. I'd be such a sucker for older and of course new additional tracks on this edition.
This and Smash Bros. DLC would be so easy and feel a little more worthwhile than some 3DS offerings so far.
Just f'ing make it already. I've no doubt such a campaign would be covered on all sorts of sites and make its money. Just look at the coverage there "not being a campaign yet" has gained.
I don't know if I'd bother with online Mario to be honest. I'd sooner play the game alone if I'm in the house on my own and locally with friends. I don't think we'd get much joy from playing online together where you don't get the same piss-taking that makes it fun.
I'd probably pay some sort of inflated price to play the N64 Goemon games on my Wii U.
Despite their flaws, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon and the sequel remain in my top 10 N64 games.. probably, I've not actually made the list.
This was never going to be a popular opinion, and I applaud the stones displayed in posting it. I agree with some of the points and completely understand why you would feel that way. A lot of the comments on here are a little disappointing.
With that said, my copy arrived this morning... not that I'll get a chance to play it until Friday due to work commitments, but I'm going to play it for the computer game it is, rather than a chance to act out some sinister desires.
It becomes rather difficult to explain why the random acts of violence become entertaining after a time, but its likely to be down the fact that despite all the attempts at realism in there, Grand Theft Auto does not feel realistic. The presence of such exaggerated personalities and impossible stunts prevents it falling into the same abyss Manhunt toppled into.
Oh, and I will also playing Wind Waker to -death-.
Ordered one of each. Time to argue with my other half over who gets the red and who gets yellow...
Regular, earthbo... er, Mushroom Kingdom bound action please. Collect 120 of something in 12 open levels or whatever, that aren't planets or of a single, tropical theme.
I just want the Mario 64 sequel or whatever you want to call it. I don't imagine I'm the only one but I've been too lazy to read up.
Hard to argue with him really. I mean, he does strike one point, people who want to play Nintendo games will buy a Nintendo console and there are still plenty of them.
I don't see Nintendo as being in trouble, though almost certainly a distant third. I am increasingly of the opinion that Nintendo's home-hardware's days are numbered because the profits on hardware are so small these days. Nintendo stand to make a lot more money by going multiplatform and selling only software.
Reading up, I'd buy a remade Majora's Mask, a ported Skyward sword without motion controls ( the diagonal slashes would have to go I guess... most other puzzles could be amended to flicks of the stick left and right ) along with this Wind Waker port (it's not strictly speaking a remake is it ).
With all that said, I'm happy for Nintendo to 'plug the leak' for the moment, but I'd better have something to really keep my interest in late 2014 beyond online Smash Bros.
Oh, DLC? Look at Skyrim. Once the main quest is finished, NPCs sent you elsewhere or reused the existing world. It wouldn't be such a stretch for a new Zelda game to use those ideas.
Mario Kart needs to disrupt the pattern of console versions being sub-par and portable versions being brilliant. I want to be excited, but I keep being let down by the home versions and either their controls or the distinct blandness of their tracks.
Do the control scheme of MK:Wii and MK:DD's large karts lead to those wide courses I wonder? Here's hoping for a similar feel to Mario Kart 7 in any case, taking some of the lessons from Sonic All Stars Transformed.
All of the retro courses being released as DLC wouldn't go amiss either.
Oh, I suppose you can assume that my excitement has been targeted at Mario Kart. I will almost certainly be getting at least 5 of the games on that list however!
Selective quoting is bad.
What happens if you do not reach your goal UPDATED?
Our financial goal is a flexible one. All contributions will go directly towards the development of this game and making it a reality. We are committed to making this game, however, if it becomes apparent that we cannot raise enough to develop this project then we will refund all pledges.
I went and bought the full 12 episodes... though the day one momentum hasn't really carried on, I'm staying optimistic that the 1.5m total will get hit before the end of 30 days.
Loved eternal darkness but I really hope this doesn't go awry!
Just read elsewhere about some crazy guy offering his translation of Mother 3 to Nintendo, absolutely free. It probably won't happen unless they get someone to read that entire document and then translate it a few more times for Europe.
Us and our stupid languages... Anyway, I've already played it once before, er somehow, and can't recommend the game enough. I will definitely be getting it the day of release and making my other half play through it while I mess around a Mr Saturn plush.
I don't know about EA really, I'd sooner see them try to capture the games makers who don't churn out sports. EA have some undeniably decent titles but I think of them as being more for the folks who grab an Xbox/PS3 then disregard them when people aren't over playing a shooter/sports game as a group.
I'd sooner see Konami or Squeenix chased, the harder-core titles released on Wii U alongside the Nintendo games creating a console full of traditional gaming titles, with the PS4/720 keeping the 'casual' crowd of sports/shooter gamers happy.
To date, casual to me still reflects the occasional gamer who picks up the heavily advertised sports and shooter titles. I am aware the industry has redefined this since, but I'm already old in my mind and frankly do not respond well to change.
I don't really think of adding an easy as "watering down" really, it's worth bearing in mind that this was a pretty tricky game anyway. Throw in a smaller screen, shorter (typically) play sessions on a handheld and a slightly trickier control pad (sorry 3DS!) and you've got good reasons for making an easier difficulty an option.
I did love this game but I don't think it'll be getting a second purchase from me. It was genuinely brilliant but I do sort of pine for a 'true' Donkey Kong Country 4 with K.Rool as the enemy, Kremlings, etc.
I miss Rare.
All of them bar Shovel Knight and Watch_Dogs, and that's mostly because Watch_Dogs is a PC purchase for me, more than likely.
Lord knows when we're going to see that 3D Mario, the next true Zelda, Smash Brothers and Mario Kart though. Those are far more anticipated.
I absolutely hammered this version of the game every time my family went on holiday to France when I was a youngster. I think my mother was whistling the tunes by the end of each fortnight. It turns out that French cathedrals and architecture aren't as appealing to pre-teens as a Game Boy, who knew?
It's very simple, in fact SNES version owners will note that it's the same as its 16 bit cousin with many of the features stripped out, the village being reduced to a menu screen for example. It's even missing the dating element of the Harvest Moon experience.
Probably the better version to have on the move I suppose, but the SNES version, closely followed by Rune Factory Frontier, will always hold higher places in this aspiring farmer's pixelated heart.
Another long term lurker here... Well done on four years! I have only vague memories of earlier Nintendo Life from when I was more regular on a 'rival' site that has long since passed into history.
Keep it up you fine folks.
EDIT: Wait, is this just a really weird April Fools joke that has somehow influenced my memories of this website...?
I do partially agree with the points on third party developers I suppose, though his whining about the content that's already available and coming does undermine his credibility somewhat.
I was a launch customer with more money than sense and had five retail games for the console within a month (Mario, NintendoLand, ZombiU, Sonic All Stars and Tekken) along with some of the eShop content (Trine, Nano Assault and I think Switch Force was from back then) though I have to admit that things are a little slow right now.
I am however, well aware that the big hitters will be with us before Christmas and I imagine the 2013 holiday period will see a reflection of that at retail. It's a tough one to call with regard to the competitors however, as if they have a particularly strong launch it will certainly have an effect on the Wii U's sales. The smart money is on Sony and Microsoft having watched the Wii U with some interest and launching with something stronger than another 2D Mario game.
At present, the Wii U doesn't really seem to have a clear identity in the marketplace; it's a Wii sequel so it's accessible and innovative with the emphasis on new controls and play styles, no wait, it's a hardcore machine that can match the current gen, no wait it's a half-hearted media centre ... But I don't honestly care personally, I wanted a new Smash Bros, Mario Kart and Mario games and I'm getting them. I'd probably have bought the console if it constantly gave off a faint whiff of cabbage.
Still, a lot of the coverage centred on price cuts and a more forceful marketing push are probably correct. It wouldn't make sense to do it now however and should probably be considered for after summer, when the games get here and people who are thinking of getting the console are pushed over the edge by exposure to the console.
I hadn't honestly planned to get HarmoKnight though if I'm lucky enough to win this one, I'll have to get it out of gratitude or something.
Looks fun though..!
If I'm lucky enough to win, it will be spent on retail games, if I'm a "not-so-lucky" runner up, Zen Pinball tables.
Fingers crossed and good luck!

Just got back from my weekly therapy session at the range. Short on time so I went to the indoor range a couple miles from the office. My routine - I don't mix guns/calibers on a given shoot. IMHO mixing confuses the brain and muscle memory. At least for me. 3 weekly trips during the month, I shoot my Ruger Mark III. I typlically shoot on the 50' range. I love .22. Inexpensive and I can shoot 300-400 rounds without fatigue. I'm an old fart. One trip a month, I shoot my CCW Glock 26. Mostly at 25' but some at 50'. Usually 100-150 rounds. Wish I could shoot more but even 9mm is bloody expensive. Both my indoor range and outdoor range give senior discounts. So the $8 or so range fee and the price of ammunition is a lot less expensive than couch time with a shrink. Shoot well and often...

The leaf springs were replaced with frame when I bought it and shortly after I bought it I replaced springs so they are in great shape. Front coilovers are good as well and handled perfect before the lift. They are just collecting dust.
Would like prefer to sell locally but I can ship if need be on buyers cost. Located between Cleveland and Akron in Ohio.

New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints news, rumors and injuriesSaints | Three RBs on Saints' roster Wed, 04 Mar 2015 16:29:11 -0800 Updating a previous report, free-agent RB Pierre Thomas' (Saints) release by the New Orleans Saints Wednesday, March 4, will save $1.735 million against the salary cap, and he carries an $830,000 "dead money" charge. Thomas would have counted $2.565 million against the salary cap this year. The Saints currently have three running backs on roster: RBs Khiry Robinson, Edwin Baker and Tim Hightower. RBs Travaris Cadet and Mark Ingram are both scheduled to be free agents. Fantasy Tip: The release of PT cruiser isn't unexpected, since his role had quickly diminished over the last couple of seasons. If Ingram isn't re-signed, Robinson will have a clear path to the lead-back duties in New Orleans. And in an offense as potent as this, that'll make him very intriguing to fantasy football owners. Robinson could head into 2015 as a low-end RB1. Comment () | Share: | Source: New Orleans Times-Picayune - Evan Woodbery Saints | Pierre Thomas released Wed, 04 Mar 2015 15:47:40 -0800 New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas was released Wednesday, March 4. Fantasy Tip: If impending free-agent RB Mark Ingram leaves, Khiry Robinson should take the reins as the Saints' primary running back and could garner RB2 consideration in standard scoring formats. Robinson played in just 10 games in 2014 but was productive when he did, averaging 4.8 yards on 76 carries with three touchdowns in a time split with Ingram and Thomas. Comment () | Share: | Source: NFL.com - Gregg Rosenthal Saints | Curtis Lofton being shopped Wed, 04 Mar 2015 12:36:48 -0800 New Orleans Saints LB Curtis Lofton is on the trading block. Comment () | Share: | Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Saints | Jahri Evans negotiating deal to stay Mon, 23 Feb 2015 05:14:15 -0800 New Orleans Saints OG Jahri Evans was initially expected to be released this offseason, but the team is trying to negotiate a restructured contract. The team is at least $20 million over the 2015 projected salary cap. Comment () | Share: | Source: New Orleans Times-Picayune - Katherine Terrell Saints | Jameis Winston to talk with Saints Fri, 20 Feb 2015 14:08:00 -0800 Florida State QB Jameis Winston is scheduled to meet with the New Orleans Saints during the NFL Scouting Combine. Fantasy Tip: It is not known how likely it would be for the Saints to select Winston in the draft, but he likely would have to wait a few years to play with Drew Brees on the team. Winston would not be an option in fantasy drafts if he joins the Saints. Comment () | Share: | Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Saints | Junior Galette assault charges dismissed Fri, 20 Feb 2015 04:45:42 -0800 New Orleans Saints LB Junior Galette had assault charges dismissed. It is not clear whether he faces discipline yet from the team for the off-field incident. Comment () | Share: | Source: New Orleans Times-Picayune - Evan Woodbery Saints | Sean Payton wants Mark Ingram back Thu, 19 Feb 2015 17:00:50 -0800 New Orleans Saints impending free-agent RB Mark Ingram is coveted by head coach Sean Payton, and Payton is hoping the team can find a way to re-sign him. "Hopefully he's someone that's back in the black and gold. Because he's been a big part of our success offensively," Payton said of Ingram, who finally had a breakout year in his fourth NFL season, running for 964 yards and nine touchdowns and earning his first Pro Bowl invite as an alternate. Fantasy Tip: The Saints will have to get creative with their salary cap in order to bring back Ingram. At first glance, our guess would be that Ingram moves on and Khiry Robinson becomes the Saints' feature back in 2015. If that's the case, Robinson will be an intriguing RB3 with upside for more in this potent offense. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPN.com - Mike Triplett Saints | No extension for Drew Brees? Thu, 19 Feb 2015 16:56:24 -0800 New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees doesn't need to receive a contract extension for the team to get under the 2015 salary cap, according to head coach Sean Payton. Brees has two years left on his five-year, $100 million deal, with salary cap hits of $26.4 million and $27.4 million in 2015 and 2016. The Saints are currently projected at $25 to $30 million over the cap. Fantasy Tip: Brees once again should be a top-tier QB1 in 2015, especially with Brandin Cooks expected to return for a healthy season. Brees managed 4,952 yards and 33 touchdowns in 2014 in a "down" year for New Orleans. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPN.com - Mike Triplett Saints | Mark Ingram's status depends on cap Wed, 18 Feb 2015 13:01:03 -0800 New Orleans Saints impending free-agent RB Mark Ingram's future with the team depends on Ingram's market value in free agency and the team's lack of salary-cap flexibility, according to general manager Mickey Loomis. Loomis didn't rule out re-signing Ingram if the two sides can agree on his value before March 10. Ingram rushed for a career-high 964 yards last season and will be one of the top free-agent running backs on the market. Fantasy Tip: The Saints' first priority is getting under the salary cap before free agency starts, so it looks increasingly likely that Ingram will be on the open market. He'll be a welcome addition to any team, but his fantasy value is to be determined until his future is clearer. If he departs New Orleans, Khiry Robinson will be a hot target in fantasy drafts as an RB2. Comment () | Share: | Source: New Orleans Times-Picayune - Evan Woodbery Saints | Parys Haralson financials Sat, 14 Feb 2015 23:36:15 -0800 New Orleans Saints LB Parys Haralson will make the 2015 minimum salary for his service time, which is $870,000, as part of his one-year contract. Comment () | Share: | Source: New Orleans Times-Picayune - Evan Woodbery Saints | Shayne Graham financials Sat, 14 Feb 2015 23:33:07 -0800 New Orleans Saints PK Shayne Graham will make the veterans minimum of $970,000 for his service time. Comment () | Share: | Source: New Orleans Times-Picayune - Evan Woodbery Saints | Brodrick Bunkley could be cut Sat, 14 Feb 2015 05:55:37 -0800 New Orleans Saints DT Brodrick Bunkley could be released this offseason since he is scheduled to make $4.5 million in 2015. The team would save $2.9 million if they released Bunkley now or could save $4.5 million if they designate him as a post June 1 cut. The team could also consider restructuring Bunkley's contract this offseason. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPN.com - Mike Triplett Saints | Brandin Cooks to work with Drew Brees Fri, 13 Feb 2015 13:20:52 -0800 New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks said he plans to work out with QB Drew Brees this offseason. Fantasy Tip: Cooks caught at least five passes in eight games this season but only recorded three touchdowns during the season. Cooks could receive a better role in the passing game, so he could be considered a low-end No. 2 wide receiver or a No. 3 with high upside in drafts next season. Cooks probably will have more value in point-per-reception leagues. Comment () | Share: | Source: New Orleans Times-Picayune - Evan Woodbery Saints | Shayne Graham agrees to deal Thu, 12 Feb 2015 15:40:34 -0800 New Orleans Saints PK Shayne Graham signed a one-year deal Thursday, Feb. 12. Financial terms were not disclosed. At 37 years old, Graham will be competing with fellow PK Dustin Hopkins for the starting job. Hopkins was signed to a Reserve/Futures deal in 2014. Fantasy Tip: Graham may be a little over the hill at this point to be considered a viable starting fantasy kicker. Kickers are arguably the most flexible position in fantasy football, so he's not the hottest of commodities. Comment () | Share: | Source: NFL.com - Conor Orr Saints | Parys Haralson re-signs Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:34:13 -0800 New Orleans Saints LB Parys Haralson re-signed with the team on a one-year deal Thursday, Feb. 12, according to a league source. He has played in every regular-season snap in the last two years, making 20 starts with 65 tackles and 6.5 sacks. The Saints will likely still look to add more youth and athleticism to the outside linebackers spot this offseason. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

Pathogens |

I actually owned two of these at one time many moons ago.
One, I carried for a little while & the other I kept New In Box (for some reason) & then eventually traded it.
Way back then I changed pistols almost more often than my underwear so don't read too much into the fact that I traded mine off.
It was a fantastic little pistol.
I'd buy another one & bet my life on it.
This gun was always sort of a sleeper.
A compact .45 acp pistol that was very reliable. At least mine always was.
A nice Tight lightweight little .45 that I don't think ever truly caught on. Parts will not interchange with Colt Pistols. But, Check this out.
My particular Carry Star PD was as well built and reliable as any Colt pistol.
I'll just bet you could get yourself a great deal on a used one in good, like new "un-screwed-around-with" condition.
I'm stretching my memory here but I do not think STAR magazines interchange with Colt mags.
Here is a REALLY NICE Web Page on Field Stripping the STAR PD. Check the page out & see how closely the Star PD patterns itself after a neat compact COLT.

A Ford Fiesta campaign testing a new kind of site visitor verification saw above-average click-through rates (CTR) of 8.76 percent, as well as 133 hours of brand interaction.
A Ford Fiesta campaign testing a new kind of site visitor verification saw above-average click-through rates (CTR) of 8.76 percent, as well as 133 hours of brand interaction.
Are You a Human calls its CAPTCHA alternative PlayThru, touting it as not only a better way to separate people from bots but also a branding environment that cuts through site clutter and banner blindness.
The PlayThru campaign for Ford Fiesta targeting 18- to 34-year-olds, launched in August and will run through the end of the year, across 3,200 of Are You a Human's network of 5,000 sites.
PlayThru substitutes the wiggly characters of standard CAPTCHAs, which supposedly can be solved by humans but not by bots, with simple games that ask the user to drag an item within the unit. In one Fiesta example, you must drag a guitar and a microphone into the hatchback of a Fiesta in preparation for going to a music festival.
Andrea Zuehlk, digital marketing manager, at Ford Motor Company says, "Ford is always seeking new ways to reach consumers. Working with Are You a Human lets us do two things: deepen brand engagement while creating a better user experience."
While it could be argued that consumers are willing to spend time playing the Fiesta-branded game because they want to access website content or services - not because they have any interest in the Fiesta - Zuehlk says that Ford runs survey-based research for all ad campaigns in order to understand if consumers have had a lift in favorable opinion. While she cannot divulge results of the survey for this campaign, Zuehlk does say that the company enjoyed success with improved favorability with the Ford brand, adding that the CTR for the campaign exceeds Ford's benchmarks.
PlayThru ads can be targeted via content categories and demographics; for Fiesta, Ford keyed into travel, music, fitness and technology, tying one of three pieces of creative to a landing page with branded content from Ford's Fiesta Movement campaign.
Zuehlk also likes the gamification aspect of PlayThru ads. Ford has tested a number of game-based branding initiatives, including a recent campaign with Words for Friends. "Casual gaming is a very hot trend right now, so this ties into that trend, as well," she says.
Reid Tatoris, co-founder of Are You a Human, says that, in field trials, the company has seen as much as 67 times the standard interaction time, 54 times average CTR and more than 300 percent increase of brand message recall, compared to banner ads.
Nobody likes CAPTCHAs. According to Are You A Human, it takes the average person 2.3 attempts to complete a CAPTCHA, and one in four people will leave a site when confronted with one. By contrast, in Ford's test, PlayThru had a 97 percent completion rate.
Are You a Human is not the first company to attempt to, um, solve the CAPTCHA problem. In 2010, Solve Media introduced a CAPTCHA alternative that asked site visitors to type in brand messages shown in display ads. At its introduction, Solve claimed brand engagement rates of 40 percent. In June 2013, Solve said that Unilever reported 87 percent lift in purchase intention following the brand's use of the platform.
PlayThru units can be used to verify humanity during site registration, comments, resetting passwords, making a purchase or sharing links. Once the game is completed, marketers can include a range of calls to action.
In addition to branding of the games, PlayThru includes options for sharing via social media and the ability to click through to a custom landing page, which can include full e-commerce.
Are You a Human bills advertisers on a cost-per-human basis, meaning that advertisers pay for each completion of the unit. The company shares ad revenue with publishing sites using the unit. Tatoris says," for publishers, in addition to improving the user experience and making visitors to the website happy, you also get to make money."
Zuehlk says PlayThru can also address the issue of ad visibility. "As the digital ad space gets more and more cluttered, a common theme we've been hearing over the last year or two is visibility. Are ads being served above the fold? Are they actually being seen by consumers?" she says.
"We think this type of interactive ad unit gives us a true understanding of where the eyeballs are and where the interactions are --and eliminates waste, which is big for us."

Based on outward appearances, "Barbershop" reads as a youth-targeted hip-hop comedy, what with Ice Cube leading an ensemble cast that also includes Eve. But the name in the credits that's most truly reflective of the film's tone is not of either multi-platinum rapper, but of producer George Tillman Jr. Not unlike the Tillman-directed "Soul Food," Tim Story's film is a funny, warm, immensely likable, and all-ages-appealing film centering around the importance of heritage and family.
In "Barbershop," the family is a figurative one, namely the people who gather daily in and around Calvin's (Ice Cube) shop in the south side of Chicago, whether to work, get a haircut, or simply talk. Calvin's colorful crew includes the condescending Jimmy (Sean Patrick Thomas), who uses any opportunity to flaunt his education and perceived intelligence; Isaac (Troy Garity), the white hip-hopper who is constantly at odds with Jimmy; sassy Terri (Eve), the shop's one female haircutter; Nigeria-born Dinka (Leonard Earl Howze), who carries a torch for Terri; Ricky (Michael Ealy), a young former thug trying to go straight; and old timer Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer, in a movie-stealing performance), who's worked at the shop for decades. Alas, this family–and the legacy of Calvin's father, who opened the shop many years ago and passed the tradition on–is in danger when the financially-strapped Calvin makes a fateful decision about his, the shop's–and, in turn, the community's–future.
There's also a concurrent plot involving two idiot lowlifes (Anthony Anderson and Lahmard Tate) who stole an ATM from a convenient store, but "Barbershop" isn't really about any sort of story per se. While he efficiently, if leisurely, advances those larger plotlines, Story is more concerned with moments with the characters at the shop, however trivial they may be, such as Terri loudly trying to identify the culprit who drank her apple juice or Eddie delivering his politically incorrect (and hilarious) views on the civil rights movement. The meandering focus is jarring at first, but one is quickly able to settle into the rhythm–not so much of the film than of the environment and the people, which is what the film is truly about. Story and writers Mark Brown, Don D. Scott, and Marshall Todd aren't above going for the occasional lowbrow, ribald joke or obvious physical gag–particularly whenever the ATM thieves show up on screen–but the appealing cast is more than capable of selling the weaker spots in the material and all create believable, fleshed-out characters. Much like how its employees and patrons don't want to see the barbershop close, once one has become acquainted with these people and this place, one may not want "Barbershop" to end.

I just bought a Yugoslovian SKS at a gun show and I had a ques. I know that all the components are matching #'s and the same # is on the stock. It's obvious the components are new but here's my question: would the bolt/receiver etc. be brand new or N.O.S. surplus? is Zastava still making these parts and then stamping the old wooden stock with the same part # as the other parts? Would a gun like this be worth more than an original or less? This might be the deciding factor of whether or not I shoot it.

I bought mine at a gun show and all the components were slathered in grease too. (not the stock though) Should I assume that this is an unissued surplus? Or if it was rebuilt using surplus parts would it still be covered with grease? Maybe I'm just reading too much into this. But I just like to know the history of my antiques(cars, furniture, guns). I guess for $280 I should just clean it and shoot it!
Over the past 45 years the arsenal has repeatedly taken these rifles out of storage, cleaned them up, shot them, and made any necessary repairs. This is why it's impossible to get an unfired SKS. Arsenal repairs are considered to be original rifles; personally, I'd be much more suspicious about what Century International might have done with some of these imports before they put them out on the market. What you got ain't nothing special; so, feel free, go ahead and shoot it. You do know the protocol - right? Thoroughly clean all the grease off the gun. Pay particular attention to the bolt assembly - Which should be, ideally, disassembled for cleaning. Failing this, soak it overnight in white kerosene. The first time you fire that, 'new' SKS, single load the rounds. Then double load and fire with a very firm grip on the rifle. If all goes well for the first dozen, or so, rounds then you can start triple loading and firing - All with a very firm grip on the rifle. (Because gummed-up SKS rifles have a nasty habit of suddenly going full auto on ya!) Lots of luck getting all that Cosmolene off. I use automotive engine degreaser, white kerosene, and lots and lots of paper towels. Use a straightened paper clip to clean out the gas port. It's summertime, now, so placing the disassembled stock, wrapped in paper towels, inside a black garbage bag and leaving it out in the sun will help leech out a lot of residual Cosmolene that has previously soaked into the wood.
I'll have to try the garbage bag trick!
just take the stock off and run it thru the dishwasher, works like a charm

- 1/4 cup(s) light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) honey
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) powdered gelatin
- 3 teaspoon(s) baking soda

- Lightly butter and flour a 9" x 13" aluminum roasting pan; set aside.
- In a medium pot, combine sugar, corn syrup, and 3 tablespoons water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring gently, until sugar has dissolved; it will start to bubble. Swirl occasionally. Add honey and continue cooking until temperature reaches 325°, then turn off heat. Let pan sit 3 minutes.
- Dissolve gelatin in a scant 1 teaspoon water until it starts to thicken. Vigorously stir gelatin into sugar mixture until thoroughly combined, then stir in baking soda. Pour immediately into prepared pan. Do not move pan; let sit for at least 2 hours, then use a large fork or hammer to break apart pieces. If desired, dip in melted chocolate.
