Growth rate of revenue matters the most and tasr's market will be cut 66% due to competition,not to mention profit margine going down.
dickless, it is so clear that you don't know shit about economics so let me enlighten you for a moment.The inital cost of a product is at the EXTREME upon start of production. Economies of scale, that is the more you make, each subsequent unit then takes on some of the initial start up cost and therefore each unit brings DOWN the overall cost of the units being produced. Still with me? good.It would beg remembering that now that TASER is producing thousands of x and c 26's, their overall cost per unit has fallen damatically over the last few years.Therefore, unitl the so called competition is able to take advantae of large production runs, they will not see the margins TASER enjoys for years to come.As for the market being cut by two thirds, just because they say they are better doesn't mean that the end user is going to agree with them.no products shipped mean no sales for STIY or LENF. Then the fun come in when they have to report earnings but that is another lesson for you when you pass basic economics 101. (that's a collage course, did you know that?)
This my friend is the greatest potential problem and no amount of spin will change this.
You must be born 5 min ago with iq of 16. Stiy and lenf have better taser guns on market. Buy one shoot yourself in the head. Maybe you might improve some iq. F**k head

What's WITH this male obsession with the "hour-glass" figure? (Wasn't "in vogue" in Renaissance times, judging by the paintings done by Raphael & other artists of his time. The ample, voluptuous figure was "IN" then.)Personally, I think Dolly Parton's hour-glass figure is more attractive than this model in lst link below. Dolly Parton's is "all natural." IF the model's 20-inch waist figure is "all natural" -- & she feels healthy otherwise -- then I say to her, "Accept, love & WEAR your body proudly!" -- for people DO come in an incredible variety of shapes. IF, however, there is some anatomical or dietary reason why she has such a small waist--perhaps missing some vital organs or having organs undeveloped, then she needs to see a doctor.The woman in the 2nd link was FORCED to acquire her 13-inch waist because her husband thought it would be more attractive -- and forced her to wear corsets, even in bed! (Remind you of something else? -- Chinese foot binding that was forced on young girls so as to render them helpless and unable to walk normally, because some men got the idea that a foot that was pointed downward and super-super tiny was somehow "more feminine."Is Chinese footbinding the origin of the continuing male fascination (& women's acqueisence & adopting of such to please men/get work as a model in a male-run industry) with high heels which wreak havoc on women's backs and cause other kinds of damage to their bodies, including bulging calf muscles, bunions, corns, etc. from the pointed toes usually associated with high heels?Is the "pointed toe" so required of ballet dancers -- even to the point of balancing their entire weight on their TOES? also an outgrowth of Chinese footbinding?I agree that graceful movements are beautiful--but/and a woman can be graceful without deforming her feet in the name of dance. I have talked with ballet dancers & they say their feet are deformed and bleeding a lot of times--when even still dancing on them!) Martha Graham who revolutionized the stilted, stylized, rigid codes of classical ballet and created Modern Dance -- taught women to dance gracefully--but without deforming their feet. Many of her dancers danced barefooted in more natural, free-flowing movements.Abuse of the body in the name of "supposed" beauty is to me a disgrace and a tragedy. (I'm not a fan of tatoos either--but that's another subject.) People need to examine WHY? they permit such indignities to occur to their precious human bodies -- our instruments -- our vehicles for expressing ourselves in the world.WHEN are women gonna "Smarten Up!" and REFUSE to deform their bodies in the name of fashion--much of which has its underlying roots in sexist attitudes -- and REBEL by REFUSING to buy or wear high heels? If women did such, a lot of chiropractors would probably go out of business. So much the better!~Norma

Re: [mythsoc] Digestion
Expand Messages
- Ah! Finally an exchange I can add something to! I'm a fairly new group
member and haven't posted until now because I don't read much children's
fantasy and (can I admit this?) have never opened a Harry Potter book.
But I have read all of Wizard's First Rule, and had the following
reaction -- the plot and characters were interesting, but the style was too
overwritten for me. I started to cringe every time the wizard came into a
scene because I knew he was going to "explain" everything, even things that
didn't need explaining or were better off left to speak for themselves. I
could give some examples, but think I'll avoid that for now. I do some copy
editing for a small publisher, and Goodkind's writing made me want to pick
up a pencil and start crossing out about half the verbiage. Since this
tends to be a "new author" problem, I chalked it up to Wizard's First Rule
being his first novel -- but I glanced over the next two installments and,
as far as I could tell, the style hadn't changed much.
The comment from Madame K resonated with me, too. When magic becomes a
"science," a "recipe," or simply a "skill" controlled by the person wielding
it, IMO the wonder is gone. The numinous, the whatever-you-may-call-it
*other-ness* that lies beyond our senses and our rational mind cannot be
contained so easily, if at all. Some of the loss of awe in recent fantasy
can probably be traced to the mindset of RPG "fantasy," where by definition
there have to be understandable rules. The rules of Fantasy [without
quotation marks] are so deep-set that we can't totally fathom them. A
fantasy author who understands this, and realizes that her/his writing only
skims the surface, is to be prized.
Some of the authors of recent fantasy who show a sense of this? -- Peter
Beagle, Charles de Lint, Orson Scott Card on a good day (e.g. Hart's Hope),
Neil Gaiman, Tanith Lee, and I'm sure as soon as I send this I'll think of
more. (Also, hopefully, a year from now there will be some new ones to add
to the list.)
-- T.G. Shaw

Crossfit EpiphanyRead MoreEquipment: Crossfit uses minimal equipment compared to a traditional big box gym. The equipment we use comes from many different styles of exercise. We will be using use weight bars, weights, kettlebells, boxes, and other top of the line functional equipment. We will show you how to use it all so there is no need to be intimidated by any new equipment. Athletes should bring: A water bottle, fitness attire (comfortable and flexible), a towel (if needed). Appointment required: For initial classes only (first 3 fundamental classes) Good for beginners: Yes Average class length: 60 min Number of staff: 1-2 during class, 5 total different coaches Class location: Mix of indoor and outdoor of our gym Established: 2010 Parking: parking lot in front. Pro tip: Let your coaches know of any injuries and concerns before you get started. Also let them know how you are feeling afterwards. Q&A With Crossfit Epiphany How do you keep clients motivated to reach fitness goals: In order to keep our athletes motivated we rely on 3 things. Results, the community, and our atmosphere. We program our workouts to help you reach your fitness goals quickly and have a good time in the process. When you start to see those changes you've been wanting you will keep you coming back for more. Our community in the gym also helps motivate our athletes during each workout. As you get to know people that are on the same journey as you, you begin to want to work alongside them as you sweat together. Hard work is easier when done with friends. And finally we created the proper environment for workouts. We have everything you need including nutrition support and workout tracking. Crossfit is simple, why not do it on my own? Well aside from being able to come in to our facility, look at the pre-programmed workout, get all the equipment you need, and do it alongside others that do it, we also provide personal instruction. One of the great things about Crossfit is that many of the movements can be done almost anywhere. It's 'functional' fitness! But getting the proper training to do those movements is important. Here at CFE we really focus on correct technique in order to provide a safe and effective workout system. Proper instruction on each movement and proper loading on a beginner, especially the weighted movements, can help prevent injury and when movements are done properly they can provide better results. Out philosophy is technique first, speed second. What can a member expect the first time? When you come in to CFE for the first time there is no need to be nervous. We provide you with all the information you will need to get started. There will be plenty of time to ask any questions you might have. We walk you through the entire process of what to expect on a day to day basis as a Crossfit athlete. We will go over what Crossfit is, how classes work, and how to integrate into the gym. We will go over a warm up and then break down our basic fundamental movements done in the gym. We also put you through a short evaluation workout using those movements in order to gauge your fitness level. This allows us to integrate you into the programming properly. Then we go over a short stretching session and send you on your way.5601 E 18th St., Ste. 302Vancouver, WA US
Jack Young GolfRead MoreIn his 25-year coaching career, PGA professional Jack Young has taught more than 30,000 golfers, ranging from 5-year-olds to 90-year-olds, from scratch players to first timers. In 2007, he left a post as a golf club's head golf pro to dedicate all of his time to coaching, putting to use the encyclopedic knowledge of golf-swing mechanics and the clear communication skills that have made him successful from the start. Operating out of Vanco Golf Range, Jack often uses video swing analysis in lessons, providing his pupils with visual aids and material for their acting reel. His familiarity with multiple swing models lets him mold his advice to pupils' natural tendencies. "I believe in physics," Jack says. "There are a lot of ways to hit a golf ball; everyone has their own unique signature to their swing." Jack's skills extend to club fitting, which he has been doing for 20 years and offers free of charge. His expertise extends beyond simple swing mechanics: Jack also advises golfers on the mental approach, short-game skills, and unique kind of physical fitness needed to fortify swings and get away with late-night cart tipping.703 North Devine RoadVancouver, WA US
Arthur Murray Dance StudioRead MoreArthur Murray Dance Studio has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and the Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, the Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with other classmates as the instructors assess their current skill level and make recommendations on the most appropriate program. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.808 SE Chaklov DrVancouver, WA US
Zumba for All with JahneaRead MoreIt was only a year ago that a trip to the clothing store would bring Zumba Fitness founder Jahnea Phillips within tears. She was forced to choose from frumpy clothes in the plus-size section that did nothing but hide her curves. That all changed when a close friend invited Jahnea to her very first Zumba class. After an hour of shaking, twisting, and jumping, she was almost near tears again, but this time they were tears of happiness. That short while spent dancing reminded her of how good she deserved to feel. One year and 76 pounds later, Jahnea is sharing that experience with ladies of all shapes and sizes from the stage of the spacious Hazel Dell Grange in Vancouver. This is where she teaches the art of Zumba, which involves cardio exercise through Latin-inspired moves, in which one dances out the entire story of Julius Caesar's childhood.7509 Northeast Hazel Dell AvenueVancouver, WA US
Anytime Fitness VancouverRead MoreAnytime Fitness, which boasts more than 2,014 clubs in North America and 564 across the globe, makes it easier for average folks to etch out time for exercise by doing one simple thing: staying open 24 hours a day for 365 days a year. As health and fitness seekers challenge themselves on Life Fitness/Hammer Strength cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights in clean, well-stocked facilities, security monitoring ensures they?re safe and producing enough sweat to meet official government standards. Members can also ramp up their exercise regimens with the help of Anytime Fitness?s staff of personal trainers, who demonstrate moves and sling motivating tips. After workouts, guests can shower in the private restrooms or hop into one of the tanning booths available 24 hours a day.710 Esther StreetVancouver, WA US
East Side Spectrum FitnessRead MoreRather than rely on a traditional soak—which they claim dehydrates hands more than it moisturizes them—the nail technicians at Johnson Nail and Spa soften cuticles with heated mitts. After trimming and shaping nails, they relieve tension with warm lotion and cooling gel, massaging achy muscles before brushing on a coat of vibrant polish. Pedicures, on the other hand, do involve a brief soak in water before a citrus squeeze and relaxing foot massage. Both manicures and pedicures can be upgraded with extras such as a salt-glow exfoliation, hot-stone massage, and foot or hand mask. The experienced techs also lengthen and fortify nails with artificial enhancements such as acrylics and solar acrylics, the latter of which harness the sun's energy to allow for more efficient clapping.1825 Southeast 164th AvenueVancouver, WA US

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 10/8/13
The NFL will play three regular-season games at London's Wembley Stadium next year, hosted by the Jaguars, Falcons and Raiders. The league announced Tuesday at its fall meetings that it was expanding its international series. It will be the most games the league has played abroad in one year. This season, Minnesota beat Pittsburgh 34-27 in September, and Jacksonville will host San Francisco on Oct. 27 as part of it a four-year commitment to move a home game to Wembley. Dates and opponents for the games will be announced when the schedule is compiled next year. ''Our fans in the UK have continued to demonstrate that they love football and want more,'' said Commissioner Roger Goodell, who has championed overseas games for years and someday believes the NFL will have a franchise based in London. ''Both of this year's games in London sold out quickly. The fan enthusiasm for our sport continues to grow. By playing two games in the UK this year, we are creating more fans. We hope that ...

I love to travel to places that are different from where I am, but not so different that we can't find some common ground. I like being challenged by other languages, and the sense of connection I find with other people, even if we can't use words. I am wife to a Nicaraguan and mother to a busy little boy and girl, and enjoy sharing my travels with all of them. We have lived in Nicaragua, Canada, and now the USA, and have traveled to other places in Central America, Mexico, Paris, Spain, and Morocco. We love the feeling of living in a place rather than simply observing it like tourists.

Watch The Flaming Lips Terror-ize "Letterman"
By Evan Minsker and Jenn Pelly on April 4, 2013 at 10:07 a.m. EDT
Last night's episode of the "Late Show with David Letterman" featured the Flaming Lips. They played "Look...The Sun Is Rising" from The Terror, on with a stage festooned with streamers and Wayne Coyne cradling what appears to be a small child.
The Flaming Lips Working on Album With Ke$ha
By Evan Minsker on April 3, 2013 at 8:09 p.m. EDT
Today, Wayne Coyne took part in a Reddit AMA session. Among his answers, he revealed that the Flaming Lips are currently working on an album with their Heady Fwends collaborator Ke$ha. "She's funny, she's humble. She's badass. She's everything. She's awesome," he wrote. The album will apparently be called Lip$ha.
Watch an Astronaut Sacrifice a Baby in the Video for the Flaming Lips' "Ashes in the Air", ft. Bon Iver
By Laura Snapes on April 2, 2013 at 5:40 a.m. EDT
Here's the video for "Ashes in the Air", the collaboration between the Flaming Lips and Bon Iver as part of The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends. It manages to go even further than the nudity-filled clips for "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", which first featured Erykah Badu and then Amanda Palmer getting angry in the bath: A spaceman with an eyeball for a head first rescues a baby (which has a man's bearded face), encounters all manner of naked, bloody, dismembered, glittery couples, and then proceeds to sacrifice the baby in a very grisly (and potentially upsetting) manner.
Typical. Watch below.

By Evan Minsker on March 12, 2013 at 6:31 p.m. EDT
Virgin Mobile's newest ad stars the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne, who actively tries to brainwash you into switching your phone plan. The commercial is full of acid-headed, ultra weird imagery: Coyne sits beside a table covered in lobsters, there's a giant cat filming a tiny man playing with a ball of yarn, a dude hugs a shark...you know what? You should probably just watch it (via the Future Heart).

The Flaming Lips will release their new "bleak, disturbing" record, The Terror, on April 2 via Warner Bros. (It's out a day earlier in Europe via Bella Union.) In advance of the LP, they've announced a string of dates at SXSW, during which Wayne Coyne will also premiere an 80-minute film called A Year in the Life of Wayne's Phone. Like his frequent Twitvid transmissions, it was shot entirely on his iPhone, and is being pegged as "the world's first vertical iPhone movie." It will be followed by a Q&A.

From the song: "Don't stop/ Punk rock / Too much fun today."

Paraglider sets record for non-stop flight
Relevant offers
Queenstown paraglider Angus Tapper set a new national record when he flew non-stop from Coronet Peak to the Haast Pass and back to Hawea last week.
Tapper's flight was the longest recorded cross-country flight in New Zealand but he won't get official recognition because records are not kept for flights with turns in them and he did not declare the flight first.
Tapper hoped to reclaim the record for the longest straight-line long distance flight, which he held for six years from 1999 with a 130 kilometre flight from Queenstown to the Landsborough Valley.
The record was broken about six years ago by Grant Middendorf, who flew 142km in a straight line from Waiorau ski area to Burke's Pass.
"It's always been on the agenda for the last few years," Tapper said.
Despite flying more than 147km last Tuesday, the weather prevented Tapper from reclaiming the title, but his decision to turn back towards Wanaka did save him a lot of hassle getting home.
"It's a long way from anywhere if you land up there [in the bush east of Haast]."
When Tapper set the record in 1999 he landed in bush and had to be collected by his father, Jules, in a helicopter.
Tapper's flight progress is tracked via satellite and loaded to his website every ten minutes using a mobile device so if he gets into trouble his location can be pinpointed to within ten minutes.
"You are a bit of a mug not to have one if you are doing these big flights."
New Zealand hang-gliding and paragliding association record keeper Tim Percival said that Tapper's flight had also earned him the accolade for the highest point-scoring flight since they introduced the Leonardo online record keeping system four years ago.
Percival said official recognition was given to straight line, out and back, FAI triangle and declared goal flights. Tapper could have received recognition if he had declared his goal before flying.

High Availability: Linbit Merges DRBD+ with DRDB into Open Source
Austrian company Linbit has announced that it is merging its DRBD+ commercial high availability (HA) software with the open source version DRBD to make a free software solution.
The combination by Linbit of the two Distributed Replicated Block Device (DRBD) products will result in DRBD version 8.3, available under GPL and scheduled for release in December 2008.
Certain restrictions users had with the previous free version of the high availability cluster software will disappear. One restriction dashed is the previous limit of replication to 4-Tbyte devices. Other enhancements due to the merge include the ability to mirror data among three or four servers instead of just two, and the checksum resynchronization feature.
Load BalancingOn the subject of load balancing, why not get the highest availability while not getting caught in high prices? Kemp's got some great load balancers that are low priced and high in quality:

Electronic catalogs, search engines, and shopping carts. 5. Types of auctions and their characteristics. 2 Agenda 6. The benefits and limitations of auctions. 7. Bartering and negotiating. 8. The role of m-commerce. 9. Competition in the digital economy. 10. The impact of e-markets on organizations. 3 E-Marketplaces • Markets (electronic or otherwise) have three main functions: 1. Matching buyers and sellers; 2. Facilitating the exchange of information, goods, services, and payments associated with market transactions; and 3. Providing an institutional infrastructure, such as a legal and regulatory framework, which enables the efficient functioning of the market. 4 E-Marketplaces • Electronic marketplaces (e-marketplaces or marketspaces), changed several of the processes used in trading and supply chains – Greater information richness – Lower information search costs for buyers – Diminished information asymmetry between sellers and buyers – Ability of buyers and sellers to be in different locations 5 E-Marketplaces e-marketspace A marketplace in which sellers and buyers exchange goods and services for money (or for other goods and services), but do so electronically infomediaries Electronic intermediaries that control information flow in cyberspace, often aggregating information and selling it to others E.g., http://www.abebooks.com 6 E-Marketplaces • Marketspace components – Customers – Sellers – Products and services digital products Goods that can be transformed into digital format and delivered over the Internet – Infrastructure 7 E-Marketplaces • Marketspace components front end The portion of an e-seller"s business processes through which customers interact, including the seller"s portal, electronic catalogs, a shopping cart, a search engine, and a payment gateway back end The activities that support online order-taking. It includes fulfillment, inventory management, purchasing from suppliers, payment processing, packaging, and delivery 8 Types of E-Marketplaces • Electronic Storefronts storefront A single company"s Web site where products or services are sold • Most common mechanisms are a(n): – electronic catalog – search engine – electronic cart – e-auction facilities – payment gateway 9 Types of E-Marketplaces e-mall (online mall) An online shopping center where many online stores are located • Types of Stores and Malls – General stores/malls – Specialized stores/malls – Regional versus global stores – Pure online organizations versus click-and-mortar stores 10 Intermediation in EC infomediaries Electronic intermediaries that control information flow in cyberspace, often aggregating information and selling it to others • Five limitations of direct interaction – Search costs – Lack of privacy – Incomplete information – too time consuming to collect all info on each seller directly – Pricing inefficiencies – the sellers do not sell in large quantities by serving each customer individually 11 Infomediaries and the Information Flow Model 12 Intermediation in EC disintermediation Elimination of intermediaries between sellers and buyers reintermediation Establishment of new intermediary roles for traditional intermediaries that have been disintermediated 13 Intermediation in EC 14 Market Mechanisms • Electronic catalogs • Search engines • Software (intelligent) agents • Electronic shopping cart • Auctions – Forward – Backward • Dynamic pricing • E-Bartering • Mobile computing/commerce 15 Electronic Catalogs and Other Market Mechanisms electronic catalogs The presentation of product information in an electronic form; the backbone of most e-selling sites • Issues to consider: 1. Interactivity 2. The degree of customization 3. Integration with business processes 4. Search capabilities 5. Ease of updating 16 Electronic Catalogs and Other Market Mechanisms • Two approaches to creating customized catalogs – Let the customers identify the parts of interest to them from the total catalog – Let the system automatically identify customer characteristics based on the customer"s transaction records 17 Electronic Catalogs and Other Market Mechanisms search engine A computer program that can access a database of Internet resources, search for specific information or keywords, and report the results software (intelligent) agent Software that can perform routine tasks that require intelligence 18 Electronic Catalogs and Auctions as EC Market Mechanisms electronic shopping cart An order-processing technology that allows customers to accumulate items they wish to buy while they continue to shop auction A competitive process in which a seller solicits consecutive bids from buyers (forward auctions) or a buyer solicits bids from sellers (backward auctions). Prices are determined dynamically by the bids 19 Auctions As EC Market Mechanisms • Limitations of Traditional Off-line Auctions – The rapid process may give potential buyers little time to make a decision – Bidders do not have much time to examine the goods – Bidders must usually be physically present at auctions – Difficult for sellers to move goods to an auction site – Commissions are fairly high 20 Auctions As EC Market Mechanisms electronic auction (e-auction) Auctions conducted online dynamic pricing Prices that change based on supply and demand relationships at any given time 21 Auctions As EC Market Mechanisms forward auction An auction in which a seller entertains bids from buyers reverse auction (bidding or tendering system) Auction in which the buyer places an item for bid (tender) on a request for quote (RFQ) system, potential suppliers bid on the job, with the price reducing sequentially, and the lowest bid wins; primarily a B2B or G2B mechanism 22 The Reverse Auction Process 23 Auctions As EC Market Mechanisms "name-your-own-price" model Auction model in which a would-be buyer specifies the price (and other terms) he or she is willing to pay to any willing and able seller. It is a C2B model that was pioneered by Priceline.com 24 Auctions As EC Market Mechanisms • Limitations of E-Auctions – Minimal security – Possibility of fraud – Limited participation 25 Bartering and Negotiating Online bartering The exchange of goods or services e-bartering (electronic bartering) Bartering conducted online, usually by a bartering exchange bartering exchange A marketplace in which an intermediary arranges barter transactions 26 EC in the Wireless Environment: M-Commerce mobile commerce (m-commerce) E-commerce conducted via wireless devices m-business The broadest definition of m-commerce, in which e-business is conducted in a wireless environment 27 Competition in the Digital Economy • Porter"s Competitive Analysis in an Industry competitive forces model Model, devised by Porter, that says that five major forces of competition determine industry structure and how economic value is divided among the industry players in an industry; analysis of these forces helps companies develop their competitive strategy 28 Porter"s Competitive Forces Model 29 Changes in the Supply Chain 30 Impacts of EC on Business Processes and Organizations • Transforming Organizations by using the Intranet, Extranet, and Internet – Technology and organizational learning: • Corporate change must be planned and managed • Organizations may have to struggle with different experiments and learn from their mistakes – The changing nature of work • Firms are reducing the number of employees down to a core of essential staff and outsourcing whatever work they can to countries where wages are significantly lower 31 Impacts of EC on Business Processes and Organizations • Redefining Organizations – New and improved product capabilities – New business models – Improving the supply chain – Impacts on Manufacturing build-to-order (pull system) A manufacturing process that starts with an order (usually customized).
