EBE honorees reflect diverse business interestsWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
Ed Beczynski
Ed Beczynski is a staple in the Downtown Toledo restaurant scene. The owner of The Blarney Irish Pub, Focaccia's Deli and Café Focaccia's recently won a business excellence award from the Entrepreneurial & Business Excellence (EBE) Hall of Fame. An awards ceremony is set for Nov. 7.
Beczynski began his journey into the Downtown eatery business in 1996, when he opened Eddy B's in the old Toledo Trust Building.
"Everybody thought I was crazy to be even looking Downtown, because at that time, everybody was moving out of Downtown," Beczynski said. "There was really nothing going on, but I've always been passionate about cities and their downtowns, and decided that Downtown was where I was going to make a future."
Eddy B's was a breakfast and lunch staple for years, and in 2001, Beczynski opened Focaccia's Deli in the HCR ManorCare building, followed by The Blarney Irish Pub at 601 Monroe St. in 2005.
Additionally, Beczynski expanded his Focaccia's brand by opening Café Focaccia's in the Hylant building last year. He's also opened up the neighboring space to The Blarney as an event center, which hosts special parties and events.
"That space has been really great. Probably every weekend there's something going on in there. It's been a great addition to The Blarney."
Beczynski said one of the secrets of his sustained success in Downtown Toledo is surrounding himself with the right people.
"There's no CEOs or business owners that can do it on their own," he said. "I have great management that has been around me — Barb Reese, who has been with me from day one with Eddy B's, runs Focaccia's, Café Focaccia's and our catering division, and Bill Kline runs The Blarney and the Event Center. You have to have people like that."
Beczynski said it is also important to have mentors to reach out to for advice from time to time.
"The big thing is just being surrounded by good people, and listening to them."
Beczynski said he appreciates being honored by the EBE, although he never thought of himself as "that guy, getting the award."
"I've just been a hard worker all my life, and never thought about that."
Beczynski said he is looking to open a new Café Focaccia's at One SeaGate in the near future, but admits that he may be nearing a self-imposed limit on the number of businesses he can run at one time.
"I think I'm done after that," he said. "It's just so busy all the time, and I think expanding yourself too much is a risk."
Beczynski said his son Travis, who recently graduated from college, is interested in returning to Toledo to work with his father and his team.
Regardless of whether or not father and son decide to expand further, Beczynski is confident he will keep his roots secure in Downtown Toledo.
"I still love what I do. It's a passion, and I love Toledo. That's why I'm here. If you don't love [what you do], you're in trouble. There's ups and downs in this business, and you've got to ride those highs, but be ready for the lows. If you don't love it, those lows are really tough. If you're not in it for the long haul and don't love what you do, you're wasting your time, because this is a tough business."

Danberry Co.
Dick Baker and Lynn Fruth are second-generation owners of The Danberry Co. Realtors, one of the largest realty companies in the Toledo area. As executive vice presidents, the pair gradually bought the company in the mid-1990s. With Toledo as its core market, Danberry does business in nine counties throughout Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.
Danberry is a real estate brokerage company serving residential, commercial and industrial clients. The company also provides its customers with options related to leasing, rentals and project management.
"We work on a consumer-based, agent-centered model that's designed to meet our clients' needs," said Fruth, Danberry's CEO. Baker, Danberry's president, added, "We try to be a one-stop shop for our customers."
"For example, we're the leader in corporate moving." Baker said. "So if you're a company that is moving and your employees need to relocate, that's where we come in. We also have a joint venture with Chicago Title for title insurance, and we work with Nationwide for homeowners insurance."
The co-owners attribute Danberry's position as a regional leader in the real estate industry to its focus on technological innovation.
"I think the one thing that has given Danberry a competitive advantage is technology. We've seen a shift in technology within the newest generation of customers. They've moved away from computers to mobile devices, and we expect them to become more mobile in the coming months," Fruth said.
"If we stand still, market technology will pass us by," Baker said. "You can't design a real estate business for baby boomers and not listen to younger folks who also want to shop."
To meet the demands of customers in their 20s and 30s, the demographic most likely to be looking at buying a home, Danberry has developed a mobile app which includes features that lets users name their real estate agent and look at properties for sale (even non-Danberry properties) in the area. The app also lets users see what properties recently sold for in their neighborhood.
"Even if someone isn't actively in the market, they still want to know what's going on in the neighborhood," Baker said.
The company's website, danberry.com, allows shoppers to create a profile based on their real estate preferences and receive notifications when a matching property goes on the market.
"We use a consultative approach, not a selling approach," Fruth said. "People don't want to be sold things; they want advisers to help them make informed decisions, and in real estate they want a company that's meeting the market where the market is."
Danberry's approach appears to have a strong appeal with the buying public. According to the company, its website has received more visits than those of their top 10 competitors combined.
The Northwest Ohio community has made Danberry a leader in the real estate field, and the owners feel a need to give back to the community. For 19 years, they have exercised the value they place on social responsibility through the Danberry Treasure Chest, an emergency assistance fund that helps children with serious or chronic illnesses and their families in coordination with ProMedica Toledo Children's Hospital.
In 2012, the fund raised more than $60,000 and helped almost 70 families.
Danberry's success in the marketplace and the company's involvement in the community were factors that led to its business excellence award in the EBE HOF.
"There's no greater honor than to be recognized by fellow businesses for a job well done," Fruth said.

The concept for MAGNETNotes started in the 1990s, when CEO Randy Boudouris was asked to help invent a replacement for magnetic promotional pieces being used for advertising by Marco's Pizza. He began searching for an innovative alternative, which ultimately brought him back to magnets, but with a brand-new design.
"It's kind of ironic that I set out to invent something to replace magnets, and ended up in magnetics," Boudouris said. "When [people] get a magnet, of course the first place they stick it is on the refrigerator. It's a good place to get exposure for an advertiser."
However, Boudouris said he began tuning in to some of the negative feedback he was receiving about using magnets to advertise, such as expense and difficulty with printing.
"That was kind of the impetus for this mission I've been on for the last 14 years — to develop a printer-friendly way to make magnetics."
The company was recently named winner of the EBE HOF Innovation in Business award.
MAGNETNotes was founded in 2000, and began integrating magnetics into the printing process. In 2003, the company underwent a series of ownership changes. First, it was bought by the Seiko Corporation, which soon sold it to Cerberus Capital Management and then to Glatfelter, during which time the magnetic paper product it produced was named "MagneCote."
In 2008, Boudouris was semi-retired, but becoming increasingly frustrated with the performance of his invention. He began negotiations to take back company ownership and was successful.
At the same time, Boudouris began fighting an aggressive form of cancer, all while the economic recession began to take its toll on the U.S., which further complicated his renewed business venture.
"They were rough years for me, but we found a way through it," Boudouris said. "We focused on the quality of our products on the manufacturing side, which is what I had been obsessing about. In about two to three years, we were able to dramatically improve the quality of our products."
In 2010, MAGNETNotes began concentrating efforts on magnetic enclosures and packaging, which led to a deal with Kraft for use with its gum packaging.
Now, with his cancer in remission, Boudouris is looking to expand into the automotive and medical industries with his magnetic packaging designs, as well as set up a laboratory in Toledo to focus on product development.
Whatever his future holds, Boudouris said he will maintain his business philosophy of "innovation, innovation, innovation," which he said has been validated by his award from the EBE.
"It's a big honor to me. It's a nice thing to be awarded for all the hard work, so it's greatly appreciated."
Boudouris also said that his success would not be possible without his strong team of 11 employees.
"It's important as the leader of my company that I also am pragmatic enough to know where I'm not good, and to fill those gaps in with people who are. I don't try to do things that I'm not good at — it frustrates me and keeps me awake at night. I've got a great team of employees that supports me well, and a great set of investors as well."

Meyer Hill Lynch
Meyer Hill Lynch is a Maumee-based information technology (IT) solutions company that specializes in business computing, computer networking, network security and IT consulting for businesses, local governments and nonprofit organizations.
"Our range of services lets us fill the gaps in a company's IT department or serve as their sole IT company," said managing partner Rob Shick.
The company offers its services to clients of any size or industry. In the past, it has been hired by banks, law firms, factories, the City of Toledo, Wood County, the Toledo Mud Hens and Walleye and the Toledo Zoo.
"Instead of narrowing our services into one industry, we offer a broad base of technology services and if it works for the company, regardless of their industry, we can work with them to meet their needs," Shick said.
The staff at Meyer Hill Lynch hold a wide array of training certifications, which aids the company in its goal of providing full-time or supplemental IT solutions.
"It's hard for companies to hire experts in everything, especially with technology changing so rapidly. We're able to have a well-trained staff in several areas, which sets up a good model for outsourcing," Shick said.
Meyer Hill Lynch has two new initiatives that address issues in today's IT marketplace. The first, Total BR, gives customers a means of protecting data and restoring files almost instantly in the event of a crash. With cloud technology ineffective for the data storage needs of many businesses and investment in backup hardware costly, Total BR offers a monthly service that uses on-site backup as well as a secondary backup from Meyer Hill Lynch's data center, resulting in uninterrupted access to data, Shick said.
The second new program is a service where the IT company essentially steps in as chief information officer for a client with a 24/7 help desk, support staff available for in-person and remote assistance, preventative maintenance and regular planning meetings.
"Small and medium businesses can't afford to hire five or six full-time IT professionals. We can fill that role for the cost of one or two new hires."
Shick views his company's business excellence award from the EBE HOF as a reflection on his staff.
"We're a quiet company not big into getting awards, but I think it's good to recognize the hard work they've put in," he said.

Toft Dairy
Eugene Meisler said the secret behind the long legacy of his family's business, Toft Dairy, is simple: hard work.
The Sandusky company, started 113 years ago by his grandparents, is entering its fifth generation and is the oldest operating dairy in the state of Ohio.
For its family legacy, product expansion, high-tech innovation and culture that nurtures a family-like environment, Toft Dairy was nominated for and won an Excellence in Family Business award from the EBE HOF.
"I guess it's kind of a great honor, isn't it?" said Meisler, president of the Sandusky company. "We feel real proud about it."
The company buys milk from 21 local farmers and pasteurizes it at its plant, producing 18,000 gallons of milk and ice cream a day. It also offers a variety of products including cottage cheese, half and half, chip dip and drinks, including orange, grape, fruit punch, lemonade and iced tea.
Toft Dairy began in 1900. Meisler's maternal grandparents, Christopher and Matilda Toft, delivered milk to the Sandusky area with a horse and buggy.
"They had 10-gallon cans of milk they'd bring into town and they dipped it right out of the can and sold it to the customer," Meisler said. "It was raw milk right from the farm."
In 1943, Meisler's father began making ice cream in 5-gallon containers. The company now has 3,000-3,200 customers buying 51 flavors of dipped ice cream at their summer parlor, Meisler said.
The company currently employs nine family members from five generations. In 1965, Meisler and his two older brothers bought the company from their parents. In 1985, they brought in their sons and about five years ago they hired their grandsons.
They recently redesigned the ice cream containers and introduced a new flavor, Red Velvet Rush, with chunks of red velvet dough and ribbons of cream cheese.
Next year, Meisler said, they'll bring out more new flavors, as they do every year.
"We have someone at the plant 365 days a year. They never shut the cows off," he said. "None of the Meislers have an eight-hour day of work. We have a lot of help."
The company has a dedicated workforce, he said, with some employees who have worked there for 40 years.
"We're very good to our employees," he said. "We have profit sharing, 401(k). I call it a big family."
The dairy was nominated for the award by the University of Toledo Center for Family & Privately-Held Business because it exemplifies all the "best practices of a family business," said director Debbe Skutch.
"They're privately held, they have several generations and they have a sense of history and sense of legacy," Skutch said. "[They were nominated] for the values they bring to our culture."

'process(ing) recall' to open May 2 at Launch Pad CooperativeWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
by Chase Will
On May 2 from 7-9pm, Launch Pad Cooperative will hold an opening reception for "process(ing) recall," the 3rd show of the gallery's season. This exhibition features work by two artists, Ben Lock and Jefferson Nelson.
"We paired these two together because we thought their refined sensibilities would compliment each other and the minimalist nature of their work," said Timothy Gaewsky, founder and co-director of Launch Pad. "We gave them the space to pretty much do whatever they wanted with, and they came up with the theme and the arrangement of the space. They both tend to share a sense of craftsmanship. I think it's going to be a pretty impressive show."
"This work is probably the most representational of pieces I've made as a group," said Lock, who is also sculpture faculty at BGSU. "I'm really excited to be exhibiting here with Jefferson. It's a culmination of some artwork I've been working on since I arrived in Ohio 2 years ago. It's exciting to have the opportunity to show work locally and get people out to the gallery.
"Ben will be showing sculpture, so I'll be showing primarily 2-D work," said Nelson. "Mine are all pretty much site-specific with the exception of a few paintings and wall pieces. It's really the type of work I'm into right now. I go into a space, create work, and after the shows done the pieces no longer exist in the way they're presented at that point in time. There's an importance to it and an urgency to be in that space and see the work, because when the show's done you'll never have the chance again."
The artists met through Gaewsky, whom Nelson knew previously from helping renovate the gallery. When they hit it off, they discovered shared ideas about art and transformation.
"I'm interested in investigating objects of the past such as American iconography and the manufacturing industry," said Lock. "Hubcaps from the 50s and 60s have been an inspiration. My process involves a lot of metal casting and mold-making to take these objects to the next step."
"I have a personal agenda when I make work, but mainly I just reflect the world around me, and what's around me isn't always awesome, but sometimes it is, and I try to show both equally," said Nelson. "Common themes in my work are both beauty and devastation. What I try to do is create themes and images people can latch onto and have a relationship with."
An example of Nelson's blending of triumph with tragedy is a piece that features a chunk of his home, but also reflects his divorce.
With full schedules, both artists are vigilant about finding time to hone their craft.
"I remember an anecdote about a man in solitary confinement who focused on his golf game during that time, and upon release his game was vastly improved," said Nelson. "My evolution has always been about learning. I always want to learn the next step so when I go into a studio I have all these different tools to draw from, and it literally feels like I can make anything."
"I teach full-time, so I have to take advantage of time off, whether it's days I'm not teaching or evenings," said Lock. "I think Jefferson and I are both sincere and driven about have specific visions we want to see through."
Both artists encourage the public to visit the gallery and support local artists.
Launch Pad Cooperative is located at 911 Jefferson Ave. After the opening reception, tours are by appointment only. For information on upcoming events or to schedule a viewing, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit launchpadcooperative.com.

Audi's all new Q3 has just been released, which was not unexpected considering Audi has a vehicle in every segment that BMW has one.
The new Q3 is certainly aesthetically pleasing, but when I first saw it, I didn't have a strong reaction one way or the other. I think that is a function of the fact that like most Audis today, it is fairly similar to every other Audi product, especially the Q5. So while it's not ugly, it is a bit booring to me.
Regardless, we … CONTINUED
Edmunds' InsideLine has published their full review of the new 2011 X3 xDrive35i, equipped with the N55 3.0L turbocharged engine that is becoming ubiquitous across the BMW lineup.
InsideLine starts of their article with these words:
"Stop, wait, shudder, silent, check.
Stop, wait, shudder, silent, check.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat."
Certainly scary to read in a NEW car review. When I saw that I thought I was in for one piss poor review. It turns out what they cleverly highlighted was a feature in the new X3 that will … CONTINUED
The new F25 BMW X3 has just hit the streets and the reviews have been generally positive claiming the new X3 has far surpassed the predecesor. So this new M Sport variant should be a real piece of work. Taking an already dynamic SUV to the next level will be the order of the day. We will of course bring more details on this car when they become available.
Here are some informative size comparison slides from the official BMW X3 presentation. The first slide shows the new F23 X3 size compared to the outgoing E83 X3 and the second slide compares the sizes of the X3 to the X1 and X5. The all new X3 is not quite as much larger than the outgoing X3 as some have made it to be.
Attachment 444307
2011 BMW X3 first drive reviews have now hit the web. Road and Track, Car and Driver, and Motor Trend have each weighed in on their initial impressions of the all new X3 (F25). We will be compiling all reviews as they are released, so make sure to check in for updates.
BMW has announced a base price of $37,625 for the all new BMW X3 SAV. The X3 xDrive35i will have an MSRP of $41,925. Destination and handling fees are included in these prices. More details inside.

I know I'm in the minority here, but from what I've heard from McGregor, especially the trolling he did on Twitter about the top ten FWs, coming after the news that he'll be on the shelf for a while with the ACL, he comes off as kind of a dick. It's not like he'll be fighting soon against any of them, so he just talked shit and isn't backing it up in the near future. He's getting the "ZUFFA hype experience" and I'm not debating that he's good, but I've just seen and heard a few too many things to be a fan at this point and I don't think he's at the level quite yet to be acting the way he has.
Again, he's fucking talented, but his attitude hasn't impressed me, I saw a bit during the Holloway fight that seemed a little punk-ish and I don't care for his comments pre or post.
Because imagine what would happen if somebody like Jon Jones would have done the same thing....man, the thread would have about 20 pages of discussion and everybody would be like "He is the biggest douche ever. He is injured and he calls people out and talks shit, he is a fucking coward".
McGregor is indeed very talented, but I knew that he was a douche even before his Twitter bullshit.
The way he taunts his opponents, the way he speaks, the things he says. He has a pretty annoying personality.
BTW, I remember when some people were labeling Rory Mac as "very weird" because of the way he dresses. Well, that is nothing compared to McGregor.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
It's a marketing tactic. I don't really care. I will appreciate his art in the Octagon.

I must admit this looked like it was made for Libby when I finished it. (It was T I N Y !)
I absolutely adore this fair isle pattern. Working on it was just enough to keep it interesting. Although, I just get a little bummed when I have to stop knitting to untwist the colors. And, I may have switched up some of the colors a bit. (Reading the colors, in that bright sun, on the beach, after a beer, may have gotten me a little confused.)

The fit on this is kindof funny if you carry weight in your midsection. I'm bought 4S #for shorter heels# and 4R #shorten to 31'' for high heel# but waiting to wear it until I drop 2-3 lbs because they fit too snug around my pooch. GOOD LUCK.

Rated 3.6 out of 5Â by 22 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by kkuhary I wish these worked out I love these boots, the color, the embellishment and the style. They ran very small and to be honest, a little shorter than I expected. I also would re-buy these if they redesigned them to be slight slouchier and taller. 1.19.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by suburbanmom so disappointed I wanted to love these boots ... waited a month for them but couldn't have been more disappointed. First of all, they were folded in thirds and shipped in a shoebox -- not what I'd expect for $400 boots. Very narrow and stiff -- so much so that I couldn't get my foot in. One boot was size 36, the other 37, but even if they were both the same size I would have shipped them back. The leather was stiff, the boots stop about 6 inches below the knee, the quality did not merit the steep price. They look great in the photo but in person they're really disappointing. For the price, there are much nicer boots available elsewhere. 12.26.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by killer1 Heartworn boot Hard to get on . Not sure about these. 12.14.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by KikiM need a shoe horn to put on I love the overall look of these boots! The studs may be a little less pronounced-looking in real life than it shows on this first picture. It is not slouchy as it appears on some of the pics, but I prefer it this way. The only problem I have and why I hesitate keeping it is because I need a long shoe horn to put it on! There is no way it goes on without it. Once it is on it is totally comfy. I wonder if it is just my pair and I should return it and order again? ANyway...great looks and with the sale price I still may keep them. (I am a size 6 and ordered a 36) 5.10.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by irypina Nice looking boots! I am usually size 6-6.5 and ordered a 37. It fits very well and is pretty comfy for my narrow feet and thin calves. Looks super nice, and quality seems good. On the down side, the soles are very slippery, and the boots are shorter that I would have preferred. 5.8.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Athen Great Boots 'These boots look great' - said my boyfriend to me and I just agree. They are indeed a bit tight up at the leg and getting in is not easy but then they fit perfectly well. I will wear them all the time. 5.1.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Kitkat1tg Super rockin boots!!!! I think many times we are not clear with euro sizing. Please note that euro sizing varies by maker. For example- While some sz 41's are equivalent to an eleven, I almost always find that a sz 40=9 and a 41=10. I'm a true size 9 in boots. I did however order the 41. The 40 would've been perfect however, it is the toe area of this boot that is the issue. It is narrow so, I definitely recommend sizing up if you have a regular width foot. These will not work for people who wear a wide width. All of this being said, the boots are totally awesome!!!!! The black is not a true black but a mixture of brown/black. They are gorgeous IRL. I was lucky enough to snag a pair from my local FP store. They are a definite keeper and very well made! 4.22.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Alexafp Love these I bought these a couple of months ago and decided since the snow has cleared up to whoop them out. The leather is so soft and creamy feeling. I am a size 6 1/2 and bought a 37 and they fit great. Only problem is that the right boot is hard to get my foot into at the ankle part. As other reviews have said they are not as tall/scrunch as they appear in the pictures which is a bummer. I bought the cognac color and was more underwhelmed about the color than other reviewers. I was expecting something more vibrant, but they just seem like a light brown to me.... But I still received many compliments on them and love all the detail of them. 3.26.2014

HOUSTON - - A spokesman for former President George H.W. Bush says Bush's recovery from a bronchitis-related cough and subsequent complications is "continuing" and there's still no timetable for his release from a Houston hospital.
The 88-year-old Bush has been in Methodist Hospital in Houston since Nov. 23.
The brief statement released Monday by spokesman Jim McGrath is the first word about the former president's condition since Dec. 30, when a statement was issued saying Bush had been moved out of intensive care.
Monday's statement also says Bush has taken great pride in watching football victories last weekend by Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl and the Houston Texans in the NFL playoffs.

I once wrote a post long ago about how much I loved EQOA, and what I wanted as a new eq next, and then skyrim came out. I was so excited about it, that I wrote a piece to SOE about how Skyrim was exactly like my dreams of a future EQOA. Unfortuantly it never came true. When I heard it was coming to Online, I knew this game was going to be the one. After seeing how far SOE has strayed from the days of EQOA and EQ1, I find this game more fitting for my EQ Next. I'm sure a lot of old school EQ Next players are feeling the same way. Any EQ players here feel the same as me?
My old post about future EQOA title and Skyrim, which made ESO my new home.

Everquest was my first love as a MMO and I am really intrigued with what Everquest Next has to offer after the debut as anyone else that was also blow away, we are surely enthralled :)
Also looking forward to ESO as my son and I have played the Elder Scrolls games Oblivion and Skyrim.
Mainly interested in rejoining the community atmosphere in an MMO after taking a break for a few years.
Sincerely speaking on behalf of those who spent alot of time playing MMOs in the past; Its time to end the grind, as we are all a part of something more, why not emphasize this moreso and keep the past, in the past...trust me it helps improve one's' outlook tremendously :)

Wouldn't be awesome if there were two great MMOs to choose from instead of all of the solid, but not great competing MMOs currently out there? Of course I'm still skeptical I'll ever find an MMO home for years, it appears it will always be in months. Hope Im wrong next year.

Ya, I agree. It's been pretty crazy here with the ESO and EQN fans. I don't understand why people can't simply like both lol. I am excited for both of them. I plan on playing both of them. However, when someone bashes ESO with out reason, or with stupid reason, I will speak up. The same goes with EQN. However, EQN is a bit harder to stick up for, since it's really really far from release and we really don't know enough.

originally i liked both and looked forward to playing both (probably EQN more than ESO) but my hype meter for EQN dropped tremendously since its reveal.
not because i don't like a lot of the systems they have in place, even though i still don't know if they can pull it off.
its mainly because its not really an everquest game except in name only and the art style really turned me off more than anything.
still going to try it and give it a fair chance but at this point i am more interested in ESO, it has the art style i like, which actually looks like an ES game.
i really hope to be pleasantly surprised by EQN because at this point i don't have a lot of expectations for that game other than something to mess around with while i am between other games.
The game market seems to be exploding and evolving overnight all of a sudden. I used to be quite the pc gamer and didn't play console games and now I am interested in purchasing a playstation 4 as these two games are headed there as well as alot of other in games which seem very much in depth as these consoles are getting better and better. The console era may overcome PC gaming with this generation of consoles. I have been involved with technology since the 80s and I currently work selling console games and consoles since 2010. The market is really ramping up rather quickly and this OR stuff reminds me of the first virual reality glasses back in the day. I really believe gaming is becoming more of a matrix learning evironment more and more as we are on the verge of something quite monumental.

For someone who has been involved in tech since the 80s, I am surprised you think consoles will overcome PC. Hate to burst your bubble, but it's the other way around. As parts become cheaper and cheaper, the less relevant a console becomes. At some point in time cost for performance will be exactly the same for a console and pc. In which case, I am pretty sure most would rather buy a pc since it can do a whole lot more than a console. Either that, or consoles will simply become living room computers.
Considering you work in the industry, you really should keep up with the news. gamesindustry.biz is a good place to keep up. You will have to show that you work in the industry in order to comment though.

Actually, and don't shoot me, I preordered a PS4 simply because I want to hook it up to my 70" TV with Bose surround sound and finally enjoy that TV for gaming. I have a very powerful gaming PC, but it is so heavy and annoying to move it back and forth from one side of my house to another that Id rather just leave it with the smaller screen in my office. Thats an example of people who may start leaning toward a console and don't want to spent 2000 and possibly more..especially if you want the latest Nvdia Titan. I think there is a lot of room still in the market for both depending on the personal circumstance.

lol right, but I am talking about with in the same price range. It's only now that computers and consoles are getting close to the same price. The new gen consoles will be the last to be considered cheaper then computers. After this new gen, computers cost to performance ratio will be about equal to consoles. Why anyone would bother to buy a console after this gen is really beyond me. A computer can do every single thing a console can and a whole lot more.
I also have heard the argument that PCs get out dated real quick. Well news for you all who use that as an excuse, a console is pretty much a computer that will be outdated a several months after it's release, maybe even a few months. The only difference is you can do less with a console and it's impossible to upgrade it, performance wise. I rather have the option then to not have it at all.
Anyway, lets try and get back on topic lol.
I am excited for both games, but I really am looking forward to ESO because I am a huge Elder Scrolls fan. I have been saying since Oblivion that they need to make an mmo, and they are finally doing it. I have always been a fan of the long forgotten rpg elements that the Elder Scrolls games tend to stick to. I really never was sure why other RPG games moved away from the open world exploration aspect.

Tablets have no room for a physical video card, so don't hold your breadth.
It is all built on board, and that has serious limitations.
Have you ever tried to play a game on a non-gaming laptop?
Try it an you will see.
Originally posted by jesusjuice69
Actually, despite past technologies, that isn't true at all. On board graphics will eventually surpass graphic cards because of the communication abilities are much faster compared to the PCI Express interface. AMDs APUs are an example of on board graphics that are capable of a whole lot more compared to past integrated graphics. They are currently still in the works, however, this is what next gen consoles are going to be using. The great thing about this is, it's highly portable.

You are mistaken, even the next generation consoles are using mobile graphics solutions... Nvidi has confirmed that current day mobile graphics will be possible in next years tablets.
The only downside is battery life, but then as long as you use your build in CPU graphics solution the added graphics chip will not use any resources.

For EQN I am looking forward the destructible, non linear world the most. Their take on multi-class not so much.
For ESO it's the exact opposite, really intrigued with their class system but not their linear world design.
Random Forum Poster: I want an MMO that is different, original and fun.
Me: So you want something like EQN
Them: Nah dude, I want a Holy Trinity, Tab Target combat, Instanced Raiding, and Rigid classes.
Me: Double Facepalm.

No, I am not wrong.
Sure, technology increases exponentially so nvidia isn't wrong, but how long will that take? Also, just what is 'current day mobile grpahics' exactly? That bar can be very low or very high.
I only use intel CPUs atm, as they are far superior gaming processors. However, the Intel® HD Graphics 4000 is crap, and AMD is supposedly ahead, so lets see what google tells us.
AMD's trinity APU - Sept 2012
"Trinity's built-in AMD Radeon HD 7660D GPU includes 384 graphics cores (which AMD calls stream processors) running at 800MHz. It's worth noting that this number of stream cores gives the 7660D higher potential performance than AMD's entry-level discrete GPUs, such as the Radeon HD 7450"
A 7450 won't run any recent game well.
Its so bad, I can't even find decent benchmarks.
The next gen consoles are mid grade PC game rigs at best.
They do use AMD APU, which is interesting, but I am guessing it is unique in design.
That is about the equivalent of GTX 650 ti to 660, and the 700 series will probably be out before either this game or those consoles even get here!
Regardless, it is going to be awhile before they miniaturize the APU to a point that tablets can play even dated games.
My first console was an atari 2600 and I haven't played console games much since that time until recently. My first computer was an APPLE IIE and even though I took a break from computers for roughly a decade during the later part of the 80s until well into the 90s I considered myself solely a PC gamer throughout the years. I built my own rigs from the 90s until what I considered my last creation which I invested $2500 into back in 2009 as it was quite the beast and would surely still be considered a decent rig today. I know wtf I am talking about much more then you can imagine when I refer to gaming and technology. Ya'll can make your inept judgements whilst you pass time doing that which is familiar to you. We are all obviously consumers in your own right and as good consumers we are a walking advertisements to some degree or another.
Isn't it interesting how popular Minecraft was and is amongst much of the younger generation? I really hope ya'll paid attention recently during the Everquest Next Debut. Some of us simply smile as observing trends without any effort or regard is something many take for granted. If you see where things are going you pretty much have also realized how it involves you and others accordingly.
Meanwhile many of us want what we want...is it truly something we really want or is there something more to it...hmmm
ESO, EQN, FFXIV, Warhammer 40K, etc...MMOs are heading to next generation consoles as a cost effective entertainment console where everyone is on the same playing field in a massively multiplayer setting is where its going...
Originally posted by jesusjuice69
The point is, these APUs will eventually surpass discrete cards. So yes, you are technically wrong. You stated that on board graphics have serious limitations. That is a statement that is entirely false. It is the other way around. Discrete cards have limitations due to having to communicate over the board to the cpu. While onboard graphics communicates directly with the cpu. It's much faster.
You have to remember AMD's APUs are new. Compare their first APU with their newest going into the consoles, and you will see the rate of performance is increasing fairly quickly. Matter of fact, AMD is currently ruling the mobile market now.
In the past it was clearly impossible to play a game such as Crysis with out a discrete card. Now it's easily possible, and it runs at a playable speed. Again it may not be better then discrete cards yet, but again, it's new. Needs to play a bit of catch up.

Here's a hint: don't go about it like Chet Moffett at Cathedral Preparatory School in Erie, Pa. His was the most misguided attempt at firing up youngsters since a 6- and 7-year-old girls' soccer coach declared his team the "Green Death" and sarcastically informed their parents that "losing is for losers."
Under the title "winter sports briefing," Moffett, a cross country and track coach and counselor at the all-boys Catholic school, sent the following email to students on Dec. 15, two days following a basketball loss to rival General McLane, according to the Erie Times-News.
Gentlemen –
I wanted to drop you all a line and give you my thoughts on Tuesday's basketball game at general mcLame. I have been a coach here at Prep since 1998; so I have witnessed my share of close games (wins and losses), and I am fine with that. What I am not ok with is the fact that during the game, the GM student body out did us! It pains me to say that, but it's true. I was perplexed about this during the game, because I did notice that we had our usual cast that have showed incredible school spirit in the past; then after the game, I counted 36 (and I'm sure I missed a few) Prep students that chose not to sit in the cheering section. Gentlemen — that is unacceptable!!
I asked one student that did not sit in the cheering section and his reply was, "I wanted to sit with my girlfriend". My reply was simple, "If she made or wanted you sit with her, then she is a high maintenance, selfish pig and you should dump her now and if you wanted to sit with her and ignore your brethren on the floor, then join [a former Prep student who since has transferred] at mercyworst!" In other words there is no excuse! Another student told me that he wanted to sit with his parents. My reply, "Cut the umbilical cord and grow a pair!" In other words there is no excuse! Another kid told me that he just wanted to "hang out with his friends". I had no reply; I have no patience for boy lovers! Guys — there are no excuses for not cheering for your school!
Understand guys — we set the standard with our cheering section! We were named the best fans in the state by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette! That's 150 miles away! Every news crew in this town wants to cover our games because of our cheering section! The 36 plus that didn't cheer for their school (and you know who you are) should be ashamed of themselves! You have chosen to be a part of a Brotherhood that no other school will ever understand! Your classmates make sacrifices in blood, sweat, tears to represent this school — show your support!
Every game we go to our goal should be to make the opposing team, their family and their coaches as uncomfortable as possible! I hold the entire school accountable! Never should a bunch of mayonnaise sandwich eating, sister loving, trailer park dwelling clowns at general mclane ever chant "we can't hear you" to Cathedral Prep! Let's show our support to all winter sports (basketball, hockey, swimming and wrestling) and do it the Cathedral Prep way!
Please fix this!
Have a wonderful holiday,
Coach Moffett
My favorite part is "have a wonderful holiday." It's a salutation of sweetness that shows Coach Moffett, no matter if the students in his charge are umbilical-cord-sporting boy lovers, still wishes them well.
Alas, that sentiment wasn't enough to keep Moffett out of trouble for his rant. ("mercyworst," by the way, is a rival school better known by its real name, Mercyhurst Prep.) The school suspended him without pay for two weeks, and split what it would have paid him with General McLame and Mercyworst, er General McLane and Mercyhurst, for their student programs. Rev. Scott W. Jabo, Cathedral Prep's president, told the Times-News that Moffett, at the school since 1998, twice offered to resign, but Cathedral Prep insisted on keeping him because of the good he's done in the past, his lack of prior problems, and Moffett's contrition for his words. However, Jabo, who forwarded to the newspaper Moffett's original email and a subsequent email apologizing to students, expressed his own contrition for Moffett's words, saying his attempt at firing up students showed an "incredible lack of judgement."
Moffett did not comment on his suspension, but on Dec. 26 he did forward his own apologetic statement to the Times-News: "I would like to apologize to the communities of General McLane, Mercyhurst Prep, Cathedral Prep, and anyone else I offended by the e-mail I wrote to our students two weeks ago," Moffett wrote. "It was a complete lapse of judgment on my part, and although it would seem otherwise, it does not represent who I strive to be as a person. I have disappointed my family and countless others, and for that I am embarrassed and truly sorry. I hold myself 100 percent accountable for my actions, and I intend to re-commit myself to living up to the standards and values that have guided me through the better part of my life."
Before Christmas, the newspaper reported, Moffett sent a statement to the student body itself:
Gentlemen –
Last Thursday I sent you all an email about our cheering section at the basketball game. Since that time I have received lots of feedback, both positive and negative. [EDITOR'S NOTE: I would love to see the positive feedback.] I sat down and looked at the email again and I realized I was wrong. Guys — I sent the email mainly to inspire and motivate our student body. Although I did not attend Cathedral Prep, I am extremely committed to this school and what it stands for and it frustrates me when I see Men of Prep not reaching their potential. It was an attempt to reach you all; however, I have come to realize that my email was hurtful, distasteful and unprofessional.

GLOSS Moderne Professional Gloss Lisse Trial Kit

GLOSS Moderne Gloss Lisse is a professional smoothing treatment that is 100% formaldehyde free.

Not Worth The Time Or Money
I want to begin by saying I usually write reviews on exceptional products. However since this product is so expensive (even when it is on sale and does not deliver), I believe it's important for a list of reviews to be available that says so. This product actually makes my hair frizz when I use it exclusively. I am so glad that I got this dirt cheap instead of paying full price or even the sale price listed here. I have the full Gloss Moderne Gloss lisse kit plus the maintenance line. The only thing worth buying having in this kit is the after treatment mask. It detangles wonderfully on it's own and smells divine. The pretreatment shampoo strips your hair and is drying. The lisse treatment is a pretty good protein treatment but that's not what is is advertised as. It supposed to be a frizz reducing smoothing treatment but works more as a strengthening treatment. The maintenance line actually works better without the smoothing kit! Whenever I use the kit have to apply a real smoothing product like crack leave in and flat iron over again for decent results. I even tried to sell this kit on ebay for less than half it was worth on ebay and couldn't get rid of it. I have an "after" picture of what my hair looks like after using the lisse kit and maintenance line as instructed on the website in the overview section. The picture of me in the white shirt was taken an hour after doing my hair with the kit and maintenance line together. The second picture with me in the grey sweater is what my hair looks like when I don't use the lisse treatment and straighten with the maintenance line plus mixing crack leave in with the high gloss serum. A 20 product should not make more than 600 bucks worth of luxury products perform acceptably. Products as expensive as the gloss moderne lines should work wonderfully together. This product is not worth the money, time, or heat required.

Wish I Could Go Back In Time About 2 Hours
Beware if you have colored or processed hair! It will devour your hair.
My hair was dry, but not damaged. I am careful about highlighting my hair and do it very sparingly - other than highlights, my hair is thick and healthy.
After using this product my hair is very dry and it damaged my highlighted sections. I will get a trim and will be ok, but please be very careful if considering this product.
It smells like a home perm, and is NOT healthy for your hair. Very damaging. My hair is definitely in WORSE condition than before.

Mediocre Results
I got this on groupon, so i paid about $45 for this kit. I was super excited as i love to try new things for my hair. I had it for a while and finally had the time to actually do this. I researched a lot about it, youtube videos and compared instructions on blog sites and Folica. I finally did it, and was a little confused at the step when you put gloss in your hair because i did not know how saturated my hair should be, as i am not a salon professional. If this is a Do it yourself treatment it should be more specific on things such as that. I understood most and the video from below helped. I completed the process, and flat ironed my hair with my Sedu about 5 times each piece of hair. My hair is pretty wavy but has straight pieces. It does get frizzy when i go out to clubs, and in the rain and in humidity. I tested this out in Maryland humidity as i was visiting. My hair stayed pretty straight but one side started to flip a little bit. My hair was softer as well, especially the first day. It was very hard to avoid chlorine since i am always in the pool but i put my hair up and tried to avoid the water. It got a little wet in the back but i am not sure if this affected it at all. I am back in LA and going to see how it withholds. I let my hair air dry and it was kind of poofy and didn't look as good as i expected it to. I still have to blow dry my hair and straighten it but if i miss pieces or run through it quickly it does still look good. THe time i spent on my hair was cut by a few minutes but i still feel it does not do everything it claims to do. I was hoping to be able to let my hair dry and have it look good, since my hair is not that curly. It is good because i most likely can get a few more treatments out of it. I will be purchasing the shampoo and conditioner to go along with this kit, or using my Alterna caviar shampoo and conditioner. Overall it was an okay product. I will post more if i see an improvement in Los angeles. My suggestion, research before you actually do this. Take your time, have everything needed and make sure you have a clear understanding of every step before you jump in and do it!

Waste Of Time And Money
I used this product according to the directions on this site. Immediately after my hair was soft, shinny and smooth. However after one washing my hair the same as it was before the treatment.

My Hair Is Frizzier!!!
Stay away! I bought the sample product for a discount on Groupon. Figured $50 is better than paying $300 at a salon for a full keratin treatment, right??? WRONG! My hair is naturally frizzy and naturally wavy. I expected the waves to stay but the frizz be gone. The exact opposite happened! My hair is frizzier than ever and there's hardly any wave. And it takes forever to straighten it and it's still frizzy. Looks like I'll end up paying the $300 for the keratin treatment.... or just cut off all my hair. I'm so disappointed :(

Why Would Someone Give Something They Haven't Used Five Stars???
Product came with NO instructions. I followed the instructions on folica.com. Stuff smelled really bad. It made my hair really really dry and matted. It felt as if all the natural oils were gone. It looked terrible before I blow dried and flat ironed. Honestly, my hair looked worse and not better than when I just wash, condition and blowdry, flatiron. I stopped using their after care products after a week and picked up a bottle of sulfate free shampoo and conditioner similar to WEN at the drugstore and my hair started recuperating from this treatment. Wouldn't use again. Complete waste of my money. No money back guarantee. And no, I would not recommend. The Organix bargain keratin treatment worked a whole lot better for a much much much cheaper price.

Not Worth The Hype
I bought Gloss Moderne Lisse Trial Kit via Groupon for 50$. It arrived without directions leaving me to search the internet to make sure I applied the treatment correctly. After the treatment, blow dry, and flat ironing, my hair looked the best it had ever looked.
Until I washed it. I didn't even wash it the first time I just conditioned and blow dried and the results were disappointing. It was borderline the same/worse than before treatment.
I admit I may have done something wrong, or not done the appropriate after care but to be fair it didn't come with any directions at all.

I Don't Know How To Use It!
I bought this but it also has no instructions! I see that you have to purchase the other shampoos and stuff for it to work, which is sort of annoying since they market it as a complete kit, but I can find absolutely NOTHING on after-treatment care instructions. I've gotten many keratin treatments where you can't wash your hair after, is this the same? Help!

This post is part of a weekly series of 'link-up' Posts which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
Last week I visited my Dad. As has become somewhat customary at the end of our visits since Mum passed away, I was presented with a series of boxes filled with 'goodies' to take home. The items within did nothing to help wean me from my incessant craving to dive into the past. The nostalgic contents ranged from newspaper clippings from my former school concerts, to the immaculate and still boxed 1950-something cake icing set that had belonged to my mother. All fabulous in their own right, but the biggest surprise of all came in the tiniest package.
My dad handed me a small brown envelope, no larger than a modern booklet of stamps. On the outside of the envelope (which was firmly sealed with ancient spittle) was a child's scrawly handwriting. Upon closer inspection, I could see that it read "Helen's second tooth, upper right." O.M.G. My writing, aged 5. My tooth, aged 5. My God!
Even now I'm reeling a little from this surprise. Not so much that it was a tooth in an envelope, but that my parents had kept it safe for 40 years without my knowing anything of its existence. I was truly touched, and immediately wanted to cry for my mother. She must have really loved me.
There were, of course, more gruesome envelopes, each containing a tiny hard nugget which must have wobbled its way loose from my mouth and landed firmly in my memories. I can't recall the going rate back then, but there was definitely a Tooth Fairy and 10p would have gone a long way in the early 70s. Inflation eh?
I have also chosen this theme for a second reason this week. I've been in lovely Cornwall with my amazing boys. My smallest man has had a 'wobbly' for a few weeks now, which chose to make its departure from his fine little mouth on the beach a week ago. I love a good coincidence.
So, hands up if you still have your baby teeth? Go on now…… Or maybe you have a little macabre stash of the ones that the Tooth Fairy collected from your own kids over recent years? Share your memories of the Tooth Fairy with us. It's a timeless childhood moment worth remembering.
Either write a blog post and link it up (the Linky will stay open for some time yet, so no need to rush), or just share your memories with us in the comments if you prefer – you don't have to have a Blog to play! Everyone welcome here. Consider it therapy. But do tell your friends!

He knows what they are...While we were sinners Christ died for us.The key seems to be that we are saved by Christ and His faith so that we will all be one in ChristOur father is the one who makes us grow and we are all individuals of the same mega family.Paul says that he did not come to convince people with words[1 Cor 1;17'." We proclaim a Christ who was crucified." [1 Cor 1;23]Rom 12;2 " Do not be conformed to this age but be transformed by the renwing of your mind to the end you may be proving what is the thing willed by God, the good and acceptable and perfect."The simplicity of the statement that we are children of God because of what Christ has done seems to inspire the desire to get to know our Father personally above our experiences with our dads. That is an on-going development through the things we experience.For you to even have the desire for Jesus to fix you seems to show that He is opening your eyes.NO MAN will be able to compare to what Christ does for us.Eph 3;18 " In order that YOU may be mighty enough to grasp firmly, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,to GET TO KNOW the knowledge surpassing love of the Christ."
Maybe the fixing is through the loving?
sorry James, kept messing with this post and it finally ended up after yours. Good points in your post.paraphrased from onechristianministry.com Jesus said "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." He proclaims His purpose is to call sinners to repentance. Repentance, meaning, to turn away from sin. At that calling, sinners then made a choice. They either recognized that they were living in sin, and then followed Jesus Christ...or they chose to reject Him and stay in a sinful life, not following in the path of Christ.
I think I basically agree with that too Shawn. I see their illustration as drawing a clear distinction between being accepting or rejecting of Christ. But IMO, being spiritually reborn doesn't mean completely mature. I believe those are two events. One puts us in "right standing" (being given His righteousness through the blood shed on the cross for our salvation), the other is an ongoing process of becoming more like Him, our will yielding to His, Him continually rising within us. We're still flesh and blood, clay. If Apostle Paul was still struggling with his flesh, I have no aspirations that I will be any different.
That was beautiful shawn.
