Murray's favorite treat!!
Posted by Reviewer1978843 on Nov 10, 2010
My senior dog goes absolutely nuts for these. They have way more Glucosamine and MSM than most other treats, and at iHerb they're much cheaper than at the pet store. I've ordered all the flavors- he can't get enough. An easy and relative inexpensive way to give joint supplements- try them!
Great stuff but beware

Ark Naturals has just changed the formula on the Venison & Chicken flavors, buyer beware. I got the ones with 1000 mg of sea cucumber, but watch out for possible changes to 250mg.

For dogs w/ arthritis...This is a MUST have
Posted by Reviewer1096212 on Jul 06, 2009
It makes a HUGE difference in my 12 1/2 yr old golden. Whether he is sore from chasing the ball or swimming in the pool; we have one every night before bed... These make it all go away the next day. Consistency is the rule here.

She is more agile and doesn't mind the taste although she does like the lamb one best she will also eat these.
my mini schnauzer loves these
Posted by LotusJ57 on Jul 12, 2008
my mini schnauzer has a bum knee and this product has helped quite a bit. Excellent price too!
My Dogs Can't Get Enough
Posted by Reviewer1262335 on Mar 18, 2008
I have no idea what 'sea cucumber' is, but my two little Min Pins love these jerky treats. I break the jerkys in half and they get half in the morning and half before bedtime. They'd eat the whole bag in one sitting if I'd let them.

Firaxis Games has released an innovative new video promoting their strategy game XCOM: Enemy Unknown. The video is an interactive, "choose your own adventure" style experience that makes you feel like you're actually playing the game.
Firaxis Games, being a developer with PC roots, will be trying to make the upcoming remake of XCOM: Enemy Unknown friendly to that segment of gamers. For example, the PC version will support mods.
2K Games is currently working to revive the X-COM strategy series with two games: a first-person shooter simply called XCOM and a turn-based strategy called XCOM: Enemy Unknown. In a new interview, the creator of the series offered his thoughts on these new games.
Were you upset that 2K Marin's XCOM game is a shooter? Well, you no longer have any cause for complaint. It seems that Civilization developer Firaxis Games is creating XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which will be a truer successor to the strategy series.

Trellis Bioscience has granted MedImmune a worldwide, exclusive license to its preclinical-stage antibodies directed against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The deal could be worth up to $338 million to Trellis should a product resulting from this arrangement reach the market.
MedImmune, part of AstraZeneca, will pay Trellis an up-front cash payment as well as fees for potential development, regulatory, and commercial milestones. Trellis has advanced the antibodies to IND-enabling studies, and MedImmune will take over further preclinical and clinical development. MedImmune will also be responsible for worldwide commercialization, while Trellis stands to earn royalties.
MedImmune is also developing a vaccine to help prevent RSV. Additionally, last year it submitted an NDA for an anti-RSV antibody called motavizumab.
Trellis' RSV antibodies were identified using its CellSpot discovery platform, which allows high-throughput screening of human B cells in a multiplexed format. This enables identification and isolation of rare human antibodies produced from the B cells of RSV-infected patients, the company points out. CellSpot also allows for simultaneous measurement of up to 10 antibody characteristics from single antibody-secreting cells, including probes for specificity and affinity, Trellis continues.
With CellSpot, Trellis has focused on infectious diseases. The RSV program is the most advanced, followed by antibodies against cytomegalovirus that are at the lead-optimization stage. The company is also conducting lead identification in influenza and has two antibacterial programs at the target-validation stage.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

text: 31 January 2012 Cortus, SST exhibit low power IP solutions for SoC design Cortus, SST exhibit low power IP solutions for SoC design Cortus and Silicon Storage Technology will be showing their low power IP products for embedded system on chip (SoC) designs at Embedded World 2012 in Nuremberg, Germany. The exhibit will combine Cortus' silicon efficient, ultra low power 32bit microcontroller cores with SST's low power, ultra high endurance embedded flash non-volatile memory (NVM) technology. Today's embedded SoC applications such as SIM cards, Near Field Communications (NFC), Bluetooth LE, automotive sensors and smart meters all require a combination of a microcontroller core and flash memory. Such applications require minimising both power dissipation and silicon area. According to Cortus, its APS3 offers the smallest silicon footprint and power dissipation on the market for 32bit processor cores. SST SuperFlash technology is designed to provide a compact, low power embedded flash memory solution with ultra high endurance. Cortus offers high performance 32bit processor cores designed specifically for embedded systems. The APS3 features a tiny silicon footprint (same size as an 8051), very low power consumption, high code density and high performance (up to 1.67 DMIPS/MHz). The ecosystem around the Cortus processors includes a full development environment (for C and C++), commonly used peripherals, bus bridges to ensure easy interfacing to other IP and system support and functions such as cache and memory management units. The APS3 processor core is currently in volume production in a range of products from security applications to ultra low power wireless designs. SST Superflash memory technology is the most widely licensed flash NVM technology today, and is commonly used in microcontrollers and automotive and smartcard devices. In 2010 alone, over 4billion devices worldwide were manufactured using this technology. Cortus and SST will be exhibiting on Stand 143 in Hall 5.

Commissh - Reika by MizaelTenguWatch
©2012-2016 MizaelTengu
Due to her remarkable swordsmanship Reika was said to be a next high ranked officer in the 11th squad. Unexpectedly, Aizen Sousuke took notice of her wary and sly nature, recommending her for his own division. Eventually, after a couple of years, Reika became the vice captain under his command, although she never learned to cope completely with his appealing and somehow overwhelming kindness, since she had to realize at some point in her past that especially those characteristics come along with perfidious intentions.
Nevertheless, Aizen was able to make use of the mix of retained suspicion, exceptional loyalty to the Gotei 13 and still admiration of his wisdom and skill dwelling in her. And to cut a long story short: By means of his illusion techniques and a lot of fake conspiracy he made her leave Soul Society; making her to his personal backup if something might ever happen to him.
Reika Belongs to:

Rural King is the place to shop for all of your air compressors and accessories. Air compressors create energy from pressurized air, and this air is used for a lot of different applications as the air is depressurized. Air compressors are used for many things, from airing up tires, to running air powered tools.
The most common type of air compressors are: gas or electric powered. Their power is measured by the HP (Horsepower), and the CFM which is the cubic feet of air per minute that the air compressor has. The size of the tank will tell you how much compressed air that is in reserve is available.
For example, the Ingersoll Rand Air Compressor 5hp 80gallon will let you do a lot more projects before running out of air, verses the Mat Industries Air Compressor 1 Hp 7 Gallon. The size you need depends on the size of the job you need to do.
If you are working where there is no electricity available you will need a gas or diesel powered air compressor. The gas and diesel powered compressors will require ventilation because of the exhaust gases and they are noisy.

I have single pivot brake calipers (Wienmann '79) on an old bike. They work but would I be better off with dual pivot brakes? Will I need to replace the levers?
I have single pivot brake calipers (Wienmann '79) on an old bike. They work but would I be better off with dual pivot brakes? Will I need to replace the levers?
Switching the single pivots on my two older bikes over to long reach dual pivots was one of THE BEST upgrades I ever did. And no you don't need to replace the levers or even the cables and housings if they are in decent shape.
Tektro is one of the few makers that produces a wide variety of longer reach dual pivot calipers. And the Tektros are what I went with. The ones I got had the pads that came with holders and replaceable shoes. I soon found that the Tektro pads were the same junk that Shimano likes to use and that with heavier riders quickly galls the rims and picks up balls of aluminium from the rim that stick in the pad and quickly begin to ruin the rim. One day with one set was enough to hear and see this beginning. I stopped riding that bike (had roughly 5 or 6 bikes in the fleet at the time ) until I received some Koolstop salmon shoes to slip into the holders. Never looked back. When I got the second set shortly after I ordered up about 3 sets of Koolstop replacement shoes so I'd have spares and swapped the shoes out before the bike turned so much as an inch with the new brakes.
Aside from the pad issue the mechanical aspects of these calipers was excellent and I highly recomend them. It turns white knuckle stops into easy medium pressure stops. A nice change when you ride and brake from the hoods almost all of the time like I do.
Model airplanes are cool too!.....
There is one disadvantage to dual pivot brake calipers. They are more sensitive to rims which are not true and have side to side wobble. Make sure that your rims are reasonably true as part of upgrading.
Gear Hubs Owned: Rohloff disc brake, SRAM iM9 disc brake, SRAM P5 freewheel, Sachs Torpedo 3 speed freewheel, NuVinci CVT, Shimano Alfine SG S-501, Sturmey Archer S5-2 Alloy. Other: 83 Colnago Super Record, Univega Via De Oro
Visit and join the Yahoo Geared Hub Bikes group for support and links.
I put Tektro R730 Quartz calipers and R200a levers on an old steel bike, Koolstops too, and wish these were available 20 years ago. And as BCRider says, they make brakes for every kind of use. Decent quality for very little money.
I switched from Weinman single pivot to Shimano 105 dual pivot (long reach). The best upgrade I've made. Braking is so much stronger and more controllable that you can go faster.
Another vote for dual pivots. They won't stop you faster since any half-decent single pivot brake will lock both wheels if require. But, dual pivots will provide the same level of braking with significantly less hand pressure and are far less tiring on long decents and more controlable in regular riding. They are also much easier to center and keep centered than single pivots. Tatfiend is correct that they are a bit less tolerant of out-of-true rims but that shouldn't be any problem if your wheels are in reasonable condition.
Both Shimano and Tektro offer long reach dual pivots and both work well. I'm not as down on Tektro's brake pads as BCRider and current Shimano pads are pretty good but Kool Stop Salmons trump them both and are a worthwhile upgrade to any brake.
There is a significant difference between how a Wienmann single pivot brake works and a Campagnolo single pivot.
but yea you can likely gain with even a low cost double pivot front caliper, there is more leverage..
though switching to centerpull calipers of the same era , have gained favor again,
they were what they had on race bikes at the time Tulio began selling his sidepulls.

A leaking hot water heater can result from leaks in the pipes. At the top of your hot water heater you have an inlet and an outlet pipe. The cold water comes in and hot water goes out. There is usually an union on each one that allows for the removal of the hot water tank.
For leaks that occur at the unions you will need to tighten them. Use two pipe wrenches to do this. You put the pipe wrenches on in opposing directions. It will take a little muscle to tighten them.
The other place that the pipes might leak is at the nipple where the pipes enter the tank. Are the connections old and corroded? This could be a problem. The tank may have started to rust. Messing with this connection could render the tank unusable. Their is not much you can do if you damage the threads going into the tank. Do they seem OK, just leaking a little?
You can try tightening them. Shut the water off on the cold water inlet. Open a valve in a sink near by to drain down the water in the pipes. You will need to loosen the unions above the nipples. With the union loose you can tighten the nipple with the pipe wrench. It will take some force, but be careful.
Don't go much more than a quarter to a half a turn. Still leaking? Nuts! Go the other way and take the nipple out. Clean up the threads and put new pipe dope or Teflon tape on them. Put the nipple back in and tighten it up. Tighten the union and turn the water back on. This should take care of a leaking hot water heater, when the nipple is leaking.

Chrysler Group LLC said Monday it will expand its World Class Manufacturing Academy in Warren to help train more workers and add new training scenarios and areas to help improve quality.
The company opened the academy in January 2012. It plans by September to add 15,000 square feet to the center, which will bring the total square feet to 40,000, said Mauro Pino, Chrysler's vice president of vehicle assembly operations and head of World Class Manufacturing, during the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars.
Chrysler's "World Class Manufacturing" system is parent Fiat SpA's name for the production system, which has been patterned after Toyota Motor Corp.'s lauded system.
The system and academy are helping cut down on safety incidents in plants, and from 2009 through the end of this year are projected to save the company $1 billion by boosting productivity.
About 5,000 Chrysler hourly and salaried workers have gone through the academy; Pino said in an interview that another 1,000 are waiting to go through it.
The Auburn Hills-based automaker also will open a satellite office in Mexico for World Class Manufacturing training, Pino said.

Cougars defeat Stanford and UC Davis.
April 12, 1999
WAWAWAI LANDING, Wash. - The Washington State women's rowing team defeated Stanford in a varsity eight race and UC Davis in a novice eight race in the first day's action of the Cougar Invitational Regatta at the Cougars home course at Wawawai Landing on the Snake River.
Because of gusty winds and whitecaps at the starting point Friday afternoon, the race course was shortened from 2,000 meters to 1,500 meters.
The final event of the day, the varsity four race between Stanford and WSU, was postponed until Saturday in hopes of better water conditions.
In varsity eight action, the 11th-ranked Cougars defeated Stanford by 11 seconds while UC Davis nipped Kansas State by just four seconds.
Racing continues in two sections Saturday beginning with two novice eight and two varsity eight races beginning at 8 a.m. Racing resumes in the afternoon at 4 p.m. with eight events scheduled through 5:30 p.m. The Saturday afternoon events are part of "The Day at the River" sponsored by the Cougar Athletics Marketing and Promotions Department: in addition to the rowing action on the river, spectators will be invited to enter land-based contests for prizes, and dinner will be available for purchase for $6 per person.

I haven't had time for any more testing... Perhaps in the new year. I hate to say, though, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope for ClamXav. There's only one guy in charge of that, and it sounds like he kind of gets treated like a second-class citizen by the ClamAV folks. That's a real shame. Time will tell, though.

I'm not Thomas and I consider the details to be privileged information, so I'll just state that as part of the process of ClamAV® transitioning to a new owner, access to their samples databases by third party contributors has been at least temporarily revoked. I guess maybe that makes Mark a third class citizen. Even what I've shared may be TMI.
I think the point Thomas was trying to make is that even with a new version of ClamXav the real power is in the database which is currently totally owned and operated by ClamAV®. Thomas' testing is limited to determining whether or not his sample database is judged "infected" by the anti-malware product being tested. Clearly the software has to work properly, but the proof is with the accuracy and timeliness of it's database. If the signature is wrong or hasn't shown up yet, there will almost certainly be no detection.
There is the possibility that ClamAV® will allow the distribution of privately built additions to the database some time in the future. If that happens, then the OS X community may be able to do a better job of keeping up, but all this presumes the ability to maintain an up-to-date sample database so that signatures can be rapidly developed and distributed. That's not an easy task, either.

Yup, it's that database that is the issue. I actually considered trying to join Mark in his efforts to maintain the Mac definitions, but the obstacles placed in front of me by the ClamAV folks were substantial. I don't envy him the task of working with them.

in response to thomas_r.
Thomas, what was the final results of your prevoius testing? Or, can you just provide the link (assuming your thougths haven't changed since then.
For me, I use ClamXav for an "on demand" scanner just scanning files sent to me by other users. I do a Home folder scan once a month however.
With the recent update of the MAINS from ClamAV, that should speed up the daily process of updating.
But you are right, the real test is the defintions file. But, as far as the actual ClamXav app itself, I find it just keeps getting better...

in response to powerbook1701
My last test was done in January, and the results are outdated at this point. They are good for historical comparative value, but if you are interested in finding out what malware a specific anti-virus program detects, they're not representative of the current state. I know that ClamXav contains far more definitions now than it did back then.
In any case, the test results are here:

my daughter is the same way she is 41/2 months old and all she wants is mom i love it but it can get tiring as she gets bigger. shes been like this since she was born if i need to go do something she sits in her rocker with her dad and she still screams when i leave and i have no idea what to do for herposted 02/10/2013 by cateydid1189
My 8 month old son only wants me and me only! I just think that he is such a blessing that I need to enjoy this stage as much as I can, because he will grow and he won't want mommy anymore :(. Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing a good job by holding him every time and running after every single cry! But you know what? I'm going to be very strong in years to come so let me enjoy him now as much as I can:)posted 11/23/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
My 4 month old has been like this from birth. It's peculiar to me since my older son was never like this. My doc said to start out by letting people hold her for short periods each day while I'm there too, then as she gets more comfortable increase the time and maybe leave the room for a bit. Started this about a month ago and she does seem to be getting a little better.posted 09/10/2011 by Michele-a-loon
Shew, my daughter is only 6 months and she has been like this for a while... probably since birth actually, but it is getting worse and worse. She has started reaching for people who reach for her, but when I place her in their arms, she closes her eyes, her face turns blood red, and she screams with tears running down her face. It's like an automatic faucet! And I can't stand it. I know that if I become reluctant to hand her over to people, then this will create even more anxiety for her, so I try to be as calm as possible and do it gently, but quickly. Still, the waterfall never fails and I am left with stares from family and friends who all agree that something is wrong with her. They don't realize that she's perfectly normal at my home or with my parents and siblings who kept her twice a week for the first few months while I finished my classes. I don't know if this will go away or not, and I don't know how long it can continue before something is actually abnormal about it.posted 08/08/2010 by LeahElise

OMG! what an adorable kitten! its so FLUFFY!!! OMG!!!
at least its just a cat. i have photos of my sister with a lampshade on her head.
My kitten: 'Razorback' loves to destroy things around my place. Last month, She destroyed my old $100 digital camera... Bought a wayyyy..... better one, but still...
That had to suck, still. Well, at least you got a new camera. :]
so cute
Hilarious She's so cute! What's her name and race? I'm asking because she looks like my cat
Thanks. ^^ Her name is Violet and she is a seal-point rag-doll kitten.
Well... my cat is a siberian, neva masquarade. We wanted to buy a ragdoll at first but i heard that they're lazy, is that true?
Yes, in some aspects. Violet likes to lay around, but she can get very feisty with my dog, too. She also likes lasers. ^^

asalaamulakum sisters! my husband and i became muslim and have read about the different sunnah to perform after baby is born. we cannot wait to carry though with everything... like the whispering of the azan into the baby's ear, giving the baby a taste of date, shaving baby's head, the animal sacrafice. it's all such a nice way to celebrate baby's arrival... don't forget these things for your baby!
Read up on the Sunnah(s) for Delivery Day!
you + me + 2 babies = beautiful chaos <3
Comments (6)
does anyone know any other sunnah for labor and delivery??
you + me + 2 babies = beautiful chaos <3
Yes I agree its a nice way to celebrate JI did them all with my 2 kids except the taste of dates . As for the animal sacrifice I'd like to add its 1 goat/sheep for a girl and 2 if its a boy. And you didnt mention the circumcision
oh yes... circumcision is not even a question. i guess i forgot to mention it because we are team green... we will know very soon in shallah if our little blessing is a boy or a girl (due date is 9/21). make dua for all three of us!
you + me + 2 babies = beautiful chaos <3
You can name the baby on the first day or seventh. Should give a name with a good meaning.
After shaving the baby's head you should put saffron on it and give charity equal to the weight of the hair.
The sacrifice and head shaving are for the seventh day (I want to add my own note here: if the baby is sick, you can postpone the head shaving until they are feeling better. Similarly, the sacrifice can wait if you are truly unable to do it, although its better to do it asap due to the reasons mentioned in the link)
Reciting the athan is sunnah, reciting the iqaamah is not...it is only mentioned in weak ahadith.
Allah knows best..may he forgive me for any misinformation.
I have a question regarding the head shaving - is it sunnah on the seventh day?
yes is is sunnah on 7th day. if for any reason you couldnt, days 14, 21,28 (multiples of 7) but of course not obligatory
Congratulations in advance

If you fondly recall playing
the video game Pong as a teenager, not only are you old, but you're
also in a prime position to appreciate the sophistication of 21st
gaming culture.
Gone are the days of two players volleying a toxic
waste-green, glowing dot between two stubby straight lines on a
black background
or pensively studying Pacman's scissoring mouth. Contemporary
massively multi-player online games (MMOGs) like Everquest® and
the feverishly anticipated Champions of Norrath™ have lush,
finely detailed, state-of-the-art graphics, complex fantasy storylines
and allow thousands of participants to go online and move through
a fantastical virtual world at the same time, communicating with
other players, competing and assuming an assortment of exotic,
whimsical identities.
According to University of Texas at Austin
business Professor Andrew Whinston, the seductive, addictive quality
of the games gives us
surprising clues as to where the future of consumer electronics
Whinston, the Hugh Roy Cullen Centennial Chair in Business
and director of the Center for Research in Electronic Commerce
at the McCombs School of Business, has studied the structure of
online entertainment communities, looking for revenue-increasing
strategies, and discovered that the irresistible draw of the games
is something more primal than stunning content and visuals.
driving force behind the $10.3 billion electronic gaming business
seems to be players' age-old human desire for status, for
being highly ranked in online halls of fame, for example, or tournaments
and "top 10 highest scorers" lists.
"In the world there's an increasing emphasis on ranking," says
Whinston. "Universities are ranked, business schools are
ranked, professional athletes are ranked and players of these electronic
games are now ranked as well. Interactive games are constructed
around the idea that people, in their fantasies, can play against
others all over the world and see where on the knowledge spectrum
they fall, winning prizes and recognition. Interactivity and these
unbelievably popular online communities where individuals compete
are what you're going to see more and more businesses—not
just online gaming—using to great advantage."
to Whinston, in 2002 sales for game-related equipment and services
surpassed Hollywood record box-office sales, and top
games such as Madden NFL 2004 brought in as much as $200 million.
game designers clearly have tapped into the power of competition
and interactivity as moneymakers, little research has been done
on what comprises the most effective game structure of these competitions
and no one, until now, has offered theoretical guidelines.
in mind that the desire for status can motivate consumers to spend
more time and money on a game, which in turn raises the
provider's revenues, Whinston and CREC doctoral students
De Liu and Xianjun Geng trained a scientific eye on several key
variables of contests, evaluating effort players are willing to
expend, ability levels of players and ideal group size for online
communities of competitors. Because online communities are very "elastic" and
offer endless opportunities for manipulation of game details and
features, their research findings are of tremendous benefit to
game designers.
Even more importantly, a study of players' behavior
in the gaming environment gives social scientists' valuable
insight into the human urge for status and what motivates individuals
expend effort in hopes of recognition. The ease with which data
could be culled on participants' behavior in online interactive
entertainment communities made the gaming environment a perfect
research laboratory.
Whinston and his research colleagues discovered
that, in games where prizes are awarded to stimulate competition
among players,
different prize structures affected players of varying skill levels
differently. Large prizes, but with few being awarded, appealed
to the high-ability players, while a small-but-many prize structure
was more desirable for the low-ability players. In very large,
heterogeneous online communities, the winner-take-all prize structure
was optimal. In the extremely popular Madden NFL 2004 game, for
example, $50,000 is the grand prize for a
national tournament winner.
In addition to prizes, entry fees and
minimal performance requirements also were found to be techniques
for shaping players' status-seeking
activities. In general, although charging an entry fee excluded
contestants with lower skill levels and decreased the effort level
of participating players as they faced less competition, the total
revenue gain from participating players offset the loss and was
recommended by Whinston.
Research also revealed that, when it comes
to player group size and ability, competition increases along with
group size, up to
a certain point, and players in a homogeneous online community
will expend more effort, thereby raising the provider's profits.
"As more entertainment providers decide to create these
online communities in order to make more money," says Whinston, "the
decision of a player to stay with one online community rather than
to another will be influenced by the rules of status seeking. The
design of these online worlds and architecture of the status seeking
activities will determine who among the competing providers survives
and thrives."
And games are only the tip of the iceberg.
Whinston points out
that the recent, really significant growth for companies such as
Dell™, Microsoft and Sony has been
in digital interactive home entertainment, with technology and
business accounting for only around 5 percent growth compared to
40 percent in the home.
"Traditional, static, non-interactive, packaged forms of
entertainment are steadily diminishing in revenue," says
Whinston. "People
are now seeing that static entertainment can be copied and tampered
with and that the business model—as we witnessed in the
music industry with peer-to-peer file sharing and Napster—is
undermined. As profits drive business, the world of entertainment
will push more aggressively toward interactivity and try to understand
how it can be used to make more money. The interactive part is
the value."
Whether the dilemma is a hacker breaking into
Apple iTunes and sharing the break-in code on his Web site or the
more sophisticated,
Mafia-style tech criminals who can hijack a site like Yahoo and
extort blackmail in order to leave it alone, interactivity seems
to offer a solution. Ephemeral and ever-evolving, the interactivity
is the element which cannot be copied and serves as the foundation
of a new, more viable business model.
Looking beyond the boundaries
of online games, one sees a perfect example of Whinston's
assertion in digital video recorder equipment such as TiVo®.
With TiVo, television watchers are able to customize their viewing
experience, frequently eliminating
commercials and sabotaging the entire revenue-producing structure
of television entertainment, which is based on advertising.
"What we'll probably be seeing in the near future
is interactive advertising," says Whinston. "An ad
comes on TV, and I have the opportunity to compete for prizes based
on providing
the correct answer to some trivia question about ad content. Perhaps
a car's being advertised—at the end of the ad, the
advertiser can ask what color the beach towel on the hood of the
car was, and I can interact and participate with millions of other
contestants via wireless device, for example. So you have millions
of people totally focused on the ad, maybe even more than on the
actual TV show, because they have a chance to win a trip to Paris
or a new truck."
According to Whinston, in this new, interactive
entertainment world, with relative positioning of people and prizes,
a large part of
the value of a business will lie in the value of the interactive
community. Should one company decide to purchase another company,
for example, the price will reflect the value of the community,
and value will rise when the community of contestants is particularly
active, devoted and will likely continue to compete.
entertainment monoliths like Microsoft already have begun to transform
the digital home with Xbox, its games console.
And Sony, Hewlett Packard and Dell are not far behind in the race
to capture a chunk of the digital interactive home entertainment
"Microsoft and others believe products like Xbox will constitute
the central computing environment of the home," says Whinston. "It's
their dream. There will be Windows for the refrigerator, Windows
for the oven, dishwasher, washing machine, etc. And this all will
be controlled by an expansion of the Xbox. The TV will converge
with the computer, entertainment will be delivered over the Internet
with high-speed connections and you'll be able to interact
with friends and family all over the globe, competing for prizes
and status. It's a vision of the world that's revolutionizing
the tech industry."
Cell phone companies in Europe already
have begun to increase revenues by implementing wireless mobile
gaming with popular games such
as Mobile Millionaire. Based on the TV show "Who Wants to
be a Millionaire," Mobile Millionaire allows players to answer
trivia questions provided by a game server. Participants retrieve
and answer questions via their mobile phone through text-message
or Wireless Application Protocol service, enjoying real-time interaction
with other users and with service providers.
Players are charged
for each message they send and receive, and, in countries such
as Japan, they also are charged a monthly subscription
fee. Users are ranked monthly, and halls of fame feature the best
players of the month.
According to Whinston, by 2002 mobile gaming
had become the top wireless data traffic in Europe, and experts
estimate that the
global mobile game industry may generate as much as $12.8 billion
in revenue by 2008.
Peering into the future and scoping out what's
on the horizon is something that Dr. Whinston and the CREC do well,
with the center's
research running the gamut from studies of network security to
managing network resources using real-time markets. The center
even has researched the financial impact of reselling, or "scalping," fixed-date
event tickets on eBay®.
"If, as a researcher, you just observe the world around you, you
can see many, many things which arouse your curiosity and present
questions," says Whinston. "In the case of the online
games study, we saw examples of 'keeping up with the Joneses' everywhere
we looked and realized that evaluating data from electronic games
would have larger applications, so we did that. We found that games
model society. Unless you study things by looking at data, it's
just anyone's guess what makes something successful."

In this series, NurseTogether contributor Barbara Phillips, MN, GNP-BC, FNP-BC, provides entrepreneurial guidance specifically for Nurse Practitioners who are interested in starting and growing their own businesses.
Choosing Your Business Name
Business names that are easily remembered have a better chance of getting word of mouth referrals and customer recognition than names that everyone forgets without fail. Businesses grow and expand because they offer quality services and products and because they enjoy name recognition. Think of names like Google, Dell, AT&T, Welch Allyn and The Mayo Clinic.
When I was trying to come up with a name for my business I tried several different names and variations.
So here are a few pointers that I'd like to share with you so that you can come up with a great name for your venture. Get out a pad of paper, a pen and let's get those creative juices flowing!
- Keep the name short and pronounceable
You want to choose a name that is descriptive of your product/ service/location, etc. Beware though - names that may be cute or clever could easily backfire on you. I mean, would you want to visit "Porky Pine Acupuncture" or "Crazy Cures' Medical Clinic", how about "Sickies' Flu Clinic"?
While these names may be pronounceable, are they really the best representation of your practice? Try to remember that your name is an "image" that will come to the mind of your potential customers and of course, other professionals.
- Keep your business name sensible
Don't make your name too restrictive. At times, business names that reflect a specific location may pose a problem. What happens if you move, would you want your business name "Lincoln Street Clinic" if your physical location was "Fourth Avenue"? While having your location easily memorable, you want your name to reflect your services more than your location.
Also keep in mind where your business name will fall alphabetically in the phone book and professional listings. Does your listing get lost because it's in the middle of 7 pages of the listings? This is why there are so many businesses with AAA or A1 in the beginning of their names - the closer you are to the front - the easier you are to find.
- What does your name say about your business?
Another thing to keep in mind - what does your business name mean? If you are serving a multilingual population this could be a problem. Marketing history is filled with examples of companies committing huge blunders while choosing names for their products simply because they did not translate well into a different language.
Also don't forget that you (and your staff) will have to answer the phone, record voice messages, etc. Can you say the name without being embarrassed or humiliated? If not, it's time to go back to the drawing board!
Final Thoughts
There are so many ways to come up with a name for your business. Talk to your friends, do some research online, but in the end - choose a name that fits who you are and what your services are.

Target Takes Page From Wal-Mart Playbook
TheStreet) -- Target (TGT - Get Report) is looking to keep pace with Wal-Mart (WMT - Get Report), announcing during its media day that it plans on opening smaller-format urban stores. The discounter already rolled out its first Manhattan store this year, and is now eyeing stores between 60,000 and 100,000 square feet. The typical Target store is between 125,000 and 180,000 square feet.Target will open its first of these stores in Seattle, a block away from its Pike Place Market in 2012, and may also add these scaled-down stores in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and Baltimore. This announcement comes after reports surfaced earlier this week that rival Wal-Mart is also looking at smaller real estate, as tiny as 20,000 square feet. This expansion plan is expected to be further spelled out next month when Wal-Mart hosts its analyst day. These trimmed-down locations are expected to mostly focus on grocery and fresh food items, and well as other consumer staples. This, most likely, is the catalyst for Target's other initiative: adding grocery items to more than half its stores by 2011. The company's P-Fresh format will be in 850 of its 1,500 stores by the end of next year. Target expects P-Fresh will add 1 to 2 percentage points to its 2011 same-store sales. Here, Target is once again hoping to compete with Wal-Mart, which sells the most groceries of any U.S. retailer. Target also said during its analyst day that it will begin selling Apple's (AAPL) iPad in stores this October. Wal-Mart will also carry the device in time for Christmas. --Written by Jeanine Poggi in New York. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Jeanine Poggi. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/jpoggi. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com YORK (

Maps and Legends: (Re)placing Composition
Jared Leising, Cascadia Community College
Because maps tell stories, offer perspectives, and make arguments, maps also act as a metaphor for the writing assignments students are given. The writing that students do in this class creates maps to where students have been (writing stories from memory), where they currently are (writing profiles from observations of places), and where they're headed. This course approaches sustainability from the viewpoint of learning to value the places in which we live through listening to and telling stories about those places.

Saturday, May 7th is the 137th "Run for the Roses" - the Kentucky Derby. But enough about sports, let's talk about booze. Is there any other sporting event with an official drink? If so, I can't recall. The Kentucky Derby however is synonymous with one drink--The Mint Julep. The mixture of sugar, bourbon and mint, served over crushed ice in a frosty metal cup is a must-have on derby day.
(image courtesy of lapetitecoquin.blogspot.com)
It's been said that what the Martini was to the 20th century--the Mint Julep is to the 19th century. It played a crucial role as an ambassador for American drinks around the world. While it became the official drink of the Kentucky Derby in 1938, it was referenced as far back as the early 1800s. Then, it was still loosely defined as a mixture of mint, sugar and spirit. The spirit was not at that time specified to be whiskey, but today is always made with bourbon whiskey. These early mint juleps were served in the southeastern states as a morning pick-me-up for farmers.Juleps originated in ancient Persia, where they were referred to as gulabs. These drinks were a mixture of water and rose petals and served as a light, aromatic refreshment. Gulab drinks evolved into flavored syrups that could be used as a vehicle for medicine. Rose petals were frequently used and later mint as well. Today, pre-mixed rose water is used in a lot of Middle Eastern cooking as well as in several cocktails.
Mint juleps today are always made with bourbon and are traditionally served in a metal cup, piled high with crushed ice and garnished with a sprig of fresh mint. The metal cup conducts heat away from the drink, creating a frosty coating on the exterior of the cup, and making a cool, refreshing drink for a hot day.
You can't talk about the mint julep without mentioning legendary New Orleans bartender Chris McMillian. I attended a seminar led by McMillian at Tales of the Cocktail in Vancouver this past March. He demonstrated how to properly make a mint julep while also sharing the history of the drink. And while he mixed, he recited a poem by Soule Smith, which I've excerpted below:
From "The Very Dream of Drinks" (courtesy of spiritsreview.com)
Then comes the zenith of man's pleasure. Then comes the julep---the mint julep. Who has not tasted one has lived in vain. The honey of Hymettus brought no such solace to the soul; the nectar of the Gods is tame beside it. It is the very dream of drinks, the vision of sweet quaffings. The Bourbon and the mint are lovers. In the same land they live, on the same food they are fostered. The mint dips its infant leaf into the same stream that makes the bourbon what it is. The corn grows in the level lands through which small streams meander. By the brook-side the mint grows. As the little wavelets pass, they glide up to kiss the feet of the growing mint, the mint bends to salute them. Gracious and kind it is, living only for the sake of others. The crushing of it only makes its sweetness more apparent. Like a woman's heart, it gives its sweetest aroma when bruised. Among the first to greet the spring, it comes. Beside the gurgling brooks that make music in the pastures it lives and thrives.
Around Seattle this Saturday are a number of Kentucky Derby parties, where you can don your fancy hats, sip mint juleps and watch the ponies. If you want to make a mint julep on your own, I've included a recipe below as well.
Bottleneck Lounge throws a Kentucky Derby party every year, replete with enormous hats, formal outfits, and glass upon glass of mint julep. This year's julep will feature Buffalo Trace Bourbon, and they'll also be offering discounts on top shelf bourbons, which is great for anyone that prefers their bourbon unadorned. Doors open at 2pm, the traditional singing of My Old Kentucky Home will be at 2:50pm and post time for the race is 3pm. Food will be available for sale from the Skillet food truck from 2-4pm, and there will be prizes for best hat and best dressed awarded at 4pm.
Tavern Law will celebrate the Kentucky Derby with a party sponsored by Maker's Mark Bourbon. The party includes the live broadcast of the races from 3-5pm. There will be Maker's Mark drink specials all night and a special prize for the best-dressed derby goer.
Liberty will also be showing the race on their backroom big screen TV at 3pm. There will be Knob Creek mint juleps, specials on Four Roses bourbon and BBQ.
The Mint Julep
A dozen or so fresh mint leaves, plus a sprig to garnish
1oz simple syrup
2.5oz bourbon
Place mint and .25oz syrup in a julep cup or large old-fashioned glass.
Bruise the mint leaves with a wooden muddler or barspoon, pressing them against the sides of the cup.
Loosely pack the cup with finely crushed ice, then pour in the bourbon.
Drizzle .75oz syrup on top and garnish with a spanked mint sprig. (That is, place the garnish in the palm of one hand and slap it with the other once to bruise the mint and release the oils).
Use a dry julep strainer to lightly dust the mint with superfine sugar.

Aye bro this is great and i'm not sure if u remember me but we met at yumicon and it was great when i saw your work
Vegeta's body is taking over but everything he holds dear still are under lock and key.
I love this Fan-Manga. Akira really needs to see this!
this guy is baby(cuz he just took over vegeta's body) majin buu(cuz he can make copies of himself) n cell(cuz now he needs energy to reach his "perfect form") combined
I'm just noticing the black stuff moving on his clothes wdh?
Aladjinn can manipulate shadow matter into clothing and stuff
Oh Okay I'm liking this dude. Is everything on the dbna wiki still standing or you changed things?
I think is Aladjinn regenerating Vegeta's clothes (on the semi last pannel he has his torso naked).
Loving this comic, allthough I didn't want to read it at first since it was a sequal to Gt..glad I did though.
How many times is this updated though? Or don't you keep a scheduled update system?

Wasn't a fan of GT but that doesn't stop me from enjoying your doujin. seriously keep up the good work.
Great work
Amazing flow

That symbiotic idiot will get a taste of his own medicine soon enough >:'D
Man Goku how me whose boss like a BOSS
That symbiotic idiot will get a taste of his own medicine soon enough >:'D
Vegeta's clothes is not broken?
the torn up clothe were from inside Vegeta's mind and spirit. His physical clothes didnt get damaged
when he starts to transform, it destroys his shirt. his pants are fine
Aladjinn appears with the naked torso in Vegeta's base form, then the clothes seems to be regenerating in the last pannel.
but in the The real world, he turn into the ssj4.
I love the new look for this form!
So... did Bra actually die?
nope, that was all an illusion
Oh, dang that sucks jk but I wanted her to train in heaven. But Bra Knows what happened still why hasn't she alerted anyone yet?
cuz its only been a few minutes. the whole fight inside Vegeta's spirit only took a few seconds in the real world, where it felt like hours in the spirit realm
I knew it! Thanks for the clarification
New to your series so I have a question. About how often you update this story? Just want to have an idea so I can make sure I'm update.
monday thru friday, once a day, 1 to 2 pages a day
1-2 pages a day Mon-Fri
usually he does two pages a day every week day. One page if something occurs like a bad page or time constraints.
Good job Vegeta you haven't been beaten completely! and my guess is that Truhan will be the next in line to be Aladjinns "meat shell" after which we could be seeing his original form. Speculating what could come is fun yay
Nope I Doubt It. more than likely sage namek piccolo hint hint
could be true but i would think that in Vegetas body Aladjinn is more than capable to defeat Piccolo and i would think Piccolo could repel him once he is a sage
good work
Damn I Was Hoping He Would Zoom In On They Ass. Where Are The Rest Of People. And How Majuub and Goten doing in Heaven?
