thats true
So Wii is a GC, just 1.5X Powerful huh. 1 being GC and .5 being the Half. What is Wii compared to XBOX and PS2, Graphically I think Gamecube looked good, it was just the Disc compacity that it lacked.
thats true
So first, when Wii was bombarded with Mini-Games party games, All of us were just hoping that the developers reach the limit of Wii capabilities, Now they did you come and complain, Where´s the World going too?
I also Think, it should be an aislated incident, like the SSBB thing (That make me suffer back in the day)
I never asked them to push the Wii all the Wii is, A Game Cube with motion controllers. Now they have reach there limits and if Nintendo does not answer the PS3 move the Wii will fail! It is also not Isolated. just call Nintendo tell them that you Wii makes a clicking noise and then gets a unable to read disk error. Let them know that its not the sound of the disk turning making the noise. They will tell you they will fix for FREE!
Look whats out on the move.
Bugger all that is of interest to those that are like me and want something besides a party game or a remake.
You seem to be complaining that they are fixing it for free.

You think a Motion Controller with Balls on it is going to stop the Wii? Not to mention Wii is $200, PS3 with Move Bundle is $400. I also think the Bundle comes with Move Controller and some Games may Require 2 Move Controllers, which another Controller costs $50 I think. I also messed with Gamestops Demo Version, buttons are to damn close to each other and in weird locations. Its like they just slapped the buttons on and added a Blue Ball, I mean WTF... Nintendo spent 5 Years planning the Wii and how it functions including the Contoller.

Sell your Wii
Buy a PS3
Black ops is a game I don't give a toss about as it shows the imagination of a ITV3 tv line up and is just another war themed shooter that as been done to death

I have an XBOX 360 and a Wii so I have the best of both Worlds. Let me ask you this, my first XBOX 360 stopped Reading Discs after I completed Half-Life 2: Episode 2, who or what is to blame for that system failure? The Game was made in 2004, and the system died reading it (Stopped Reading All My Discs After Gameplay). Should I blame Microsoft for system Quality or the Hardware? (The System was 3 Months old I should add)

I spent a lot of my youth and early 20's doing these things:
1. Messing with Yahoo Sitemaker to try to put squares together in something resembling a website.
2. Doing the same thing with Adobe Dreamweaver.
3. Reskinning WordPress themes while desperately looking at tutorials about how to change PHP functionality.
4. Trying to hand-code simple sites by rewriting stolen CSS and HTML until it looks kinda like what I made on Photoshop.
As you can see, I am an untrained layman who likes to make websites. But even people who don't want to make websites themselves still need to understand some HTML or at least particular CMS functionality in order to make their Tumblr, Blogger, Cargo site or whatever work the way they want it to. You have to redirect your DNS settings, learn what FTP means, sit and load one image at a time on a gallery, etc.
As much as I like that web design forces you to learn the deeper language behind websites, I've always thought it's kind of like forcing everyone to cook from scratch, or to sew their own clothes. I envisioned a future where there would be a sublime shortcut that let people edit sites by just dialing in their preferences in a natural, simple WYSIWYG way.
Well I think it's here, and I think it's Squarespace.
At ZJ, we've been marveling over Squarespace's home page for a couple months, using it as an example of how a clean, simple 1-pager can tell a full story about a product in short, elegant way. But this weekend I actually used Squarespace, and it was surreal. Here are just a couple reasons why:
1. You can tell every aspect of Squarespace is designed by designers
The Squarespace CMS is simple, sleek and beautiful. Typing in URLs in a box just kind of feels good because all the entry boxes are so well-designed. The millions of features you have to tinker with on a CMS like WordPress are gone, in place of just a couple modes you can be in, like Manage mode and Edit mode.
2. Editing the CSS of a Squarespace does not need to involve knowledge of CSS
To edit a look you go to the page you want to edit, select Edit mode and click on what you want to change. It lets you select from a color wheel or a long list of fonts. It even has all Google fonts preloaded so you're not stuck with regular web fonts but you don't have to use Typekit (unless you want a font more legit than a Google font, which the layman doesn't, necessarily). You can dial up the size or shrink it, and see it all change right in front of you. Much better than tweaking one element you hunt down in the CSS and nervously refreshing to see whether or not it looks like crap.
3. 'Blocks' make it easy to build a long, beautiful, multi-function page
Blocks on Squarespace are kind of like macros or widgets on other templates, and they let you add text, a gallery, a video, a form, even a map to a page. You just drag the blocks around until you get a layout you like, and the padding between boxes is already set to be foolproof, so you won't end up with squished layouts.
And that's just what I learned from playing with it for one day. Sure certain elements of Squarespace are hidden and it's hard to find the CSS and manually change it at times, but they're promising a developer toolkit soon that will make all of that much more accessible for hardcore designers and developers.
For anyone making a website or portfolio right now, I would say look into Squarespace before making a Cargo or WordPress site. If Squarespace builds more social following functionality into their platform, it will definitely squash all its competition, and I could see them being smart enough to figure that out.

Taking Back Your Crayons
Of late here, I've been meandering around, occasionally even making progress on personal challenges that have also been well documented in this space. A fair amount of credit is due to others who've inspired, reminded, insighted me at just the right time. Today, Jomama gets a snakey squeeze for that, with his pointer to How to be Creative. There's lots I could copy here, and wax enthusiastic about, but I'm going to be the curmudgeon again and mash two of Hugh MacLeod's points together in a way I think he should have, for better effect (emphasis in original):
6. Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.
So, fuck that
I'd like my crayons back, pleasebullshit. They're my crayons, you gave them to me, and I'm gonna get 'em back and scribble to my heart's content. And fuck you if you don't like it.
[Of course, I write this after years of dancing around, playing the
May I, please?game. Better late than never. And also
of course, the far better path would be to not let someone take your crayons away in the first place.]

I was really shocked that within hours after the June 24 Mirror came out, a flag was once again atop the flagpole in Garden Heights.
I missed the whole thing. My dog and I were asleep in far side of house. Capt. Joseph A. Eberhardt of the Altoona Fire Department Station 340, after reading a letter in the Mirror, decided this was something that had to be fixed.
Firefighters grabbed a rope and were off to my house where I was sound asleep. After talking to my neighbors, they went to the monument and replaced the rope and put up an older flag. They said when it was time to put up my flag, just call and they would be back.
I just got back from putting up the flag with the help of Carl Enmom, who takes care of the monument and the area. He is also a veteran. Enmom called everyone trying to get this solved.
If you get a chance, take a drive by and look. If you see a firefighter, policeman or policewoman or AMED member, just say thank you. Take time and walk up to a veteran, shake his hand and say thank you.
Without veterans, I would not be able to write this letter.

Ebola Treatment Prompts Criticism from Ann Coulter, Donald Trump, Ben Carson
Prominent conservative voices are criticizing the decision to bring two medical missionaries who contracted Ebola back to the United States for treatment.
Real estate mogul Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson were both critical of bringing the infected missionaries back to the U.S. Columnist Ann Coulter went further, questioning why the missionaries were working in the "disease-ridden cesspools" of Africa.
Dr. Kent Brantly, with Samaritan's Purse, and Nancy Writebol, with Service in Mission, are medical missionaries who were infected with Ebola while working with patients in Liberia. They are being treated at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
"If Dr. Brantly had practiced at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and turned one single Hollywood power-broker to Christ, he would have done more good for the entire world than anything he could accomplish in a century spent in Liberia," Coulter wrote in a column.
But the professional provocateur is facing a backlash from the mainstream Christian establishment, especially evangelicals, for whom overseas missionary work is an article of faith.

Studios need to rethink strategies
For the past few years, the studios' niche divisions have dominated the Academy Awards. What would it take to see more studio-centric pics as Oscar contenders?
The solution is:
1) Studios should remember that big-canvas epics don't have to be dumb CGI spectacles.
2) Studios must realize tentpole-type pics are cannibalizing each other (and, besides, they're running out of sequels) and they need other "big" fare.
3) Academy voters need to shift their thinking.
Of course, the real answer is:
4) All of the above.
With a constant eye on quarterly earnings and an appetite to create four-quadrant movies, the studios have mastered f/x-heavy extravaganzas. It's hard to argue with the success of "Spider-Man 3" or "Transformers," but what happened to the big David Lean-type films that mixed brains and heart with scope? (One problem: There aren't a lot of David Leans around any more.)
Summer tentpoles feed the studios' bottom line, but few Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences voters are likely to posit "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" as best pic. So, once again, the niche divisions, with their quirky voices, stepped in and dominated the Oscar show.
Some at the studios think things could change in 2008. The majors — not their niche divisions — have lineups loaded with impressive talent that could be both artistic and popular.
Fox has "Australia," from Baz Luhrmann and starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Sony has "Seven Pounds," reuniting Will Smith with Gabriele Muccino (who directed "The Pursuit of Happyness"). Paramount and Warner Bros. unite for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett under helmer David Fincher. DreamWorks has "The Soloist," directed by Joe Wright and starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. and Paramount and DreamWorks share "Revolutionary Road" (Sam Mendes, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, and Scott Rudin). Par Vantage has "Defiance" (Ed Zwick, with Daniel Craig) and "The Duchess" (Keira Knightley).
Warner Bros. has an untitled pic from Ridley Scott, written by William Monahan ("The Departed") and starring Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio; and Universal has two biggies from Imagine: Clint Eastwood's "The Changeling" starring Angelina Jolie, and "Frost/Nixon" from Ron Howard.
A lot of projects look good on paper only to fizzle when finally realized. However, this represents the most promising lineup from the majors in several years.
Changes in the film biz have moved studio specialty divisions centerstage in awards races, but they haven't eliminated the majors.
"The force of the majors in the Oscar race is a cyclical thing," says Fox Film Group prez Tom Rothman. "They will be a continuing presence in coming years."
Even though the majors have taken a back seat in the awards season recently, "I don't think there's an institutional absence of the majors," he affirms.
However, Rothman adds, "Specialty divisions will now always be contenders, because they are specifically constituted to make high-quality, adult films. The specialty divisions' presence in the Oscar race is now institutional, but it doesn't mean the majors will be absent."
An Academy Award is not a goal in itself. No film exec looks at the release slate and says, "Where's our Oscar picture?" Bottom-line thinking comes first, and preparations for the year-end slate usually focus more on holiday box office than on awards.
DreamWorks CEO Stacey Snider points out that there are more serious awards contenders in the past few years, with both majors and niches creating quality work. "The proliferation of specialty units (with the influx of dollars) is fueling the production of films that might not have gotten made in the past. Marginal films — films that wouldn't be made at a major — are being justified by diverting them to the speciality unit."
The exec says she's glad to work at a company that doesn't see films as just "product." But the key issue to a film being greenlit is "I want to make it" and any awards consideration is a secondary concern.
Studios are aware that it's a slippery slope to chase an Oscar, because noble intentions and prestige talent are not enough, as "The Shipping News," "Pay It Forward," "The Majestic," "Beloved," "Meet Joe Black," et al., discovered.
When studios are developing "serious," ambitious films, execs often ask, "Do we really want to spend $30 million to market this?" So they sometimes shift projects over to their niche divisions.
A major studio will often add heft and money to a project — that can be good, but it also can change a film. Would "Atonement" or "There Will Be Blood" have had the same casts and script if either they'd had hefty input from a major? Or would they get lost in development hell and never get made?
Hollywood used to acknowledge crowdpleasers, ranging from "E.T. the ExtraTerrestrial" and "The Fugitive" to "Jerry Maguire" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." It's possible to be somber and exhilarating, but "fun" is not the first word that comes to mind when describing the winners in the last few years — "Million Dollar Baby," "Crash," "The Departed" and "No Country for Old Men."
Steve Tisch, producer of the upcoming "Seven Pounds" and an Oscar winner for "Forrest Gump," agrees that Acad voters were drawn to nonstudio films this year, but says that, as a voter, "I don't look at what studio releases or finances a movie, I look at the movie. This year, I nominated movies that I thought were worthy — most happened to be outside the studio system, but I think that is cyclical."
He points out that in virtually every category, Acad voters "were drawn to nonstudio films and independent films." But it's hard to read anything into that: "It's simply driven by the movies themselves."
At this time of the year, the majors always avow they will reclaim the Oscars. But Tom Bernard, co-topper of Sony Pictures Classics, says that won't happen unless the studios can find a way to benefit financially.
"An Oscar campaign can cost millions of dollars, including all the expenses to keep a movie in theaters at that time," Bernard says. "When the Academy Awards were held in late March, studios could mine that Oscar fever for three key months, January through March, and there was lots of money to be made. Now (with the show in late February) that window is more narrow, the income is smaller. And often the expenditures in the Oscar race are not recouped, so studios are reluctant to market their Oscar movies. But the indies have everything to gain with the Oscars."
The niche divisions — Focus Features, Miramax, Sony Pictures Classics, etc. — have provided ample evidence that Oscar is a valuable marketing tool for the right kind of film.
The majors are strategizing more closely with their niche divisions and are learning this lesson, but they haven't yet applied it to crowdpleasers.
Over the years, many have cited "The Sixth Sense" as an example. Miramax was aggressively pursuing kudos for its 1999 "The Cider House Rules," but parent company Disney — the only major to never win a best-pic Oscar — didn't throw the same amount of enthusiasm (or coin) behind "Sixth Sense." (DreamWorks "American Beauty" won that year.)
And some in the film biz are not sure they want the majors to reclaim the awards.
The wins in recent years for "Crash," Eminem, Three 6 Mafia, Pedro Almodovar and "Pan's Labyrinth" are providing a serious challenge to the Acad's fuddy-duddy reputation. AMPAS has been bringing in younger voters, which helps shake the past tendency toward safer choices. But it also means the expansion of a group of voters who may value cutting-edge expression over traditional entertainment value.
Many in Hollywood this past year raved about "The Bourne Ultimatum," "Zodiac" and "Knocked Up." But how many votes toward a best pic nomination did those films get?
Certainly the majors appear poised for a strong Oscar presence. But so do their niche divisions and indies.
Among the other films opening this year:
Focus has "Milk" (Gus Van Sant, Sean Penn); "The Argentine" (Benicio del Toro as Che, directed by Steven Soderbergh); and the next film from last week's triple Oscar winners, Joel & Ethan Coen, "Burn After Reading," starring George Clooney and Tilda Swinton.
Miramax has "Doubt" (based on the Pulitzer Play by John Patrick Shanley, produced by last week's Oscar winner, Scott Rudin, with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman); and "Blindness" (Fernando Meirelles, with Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo).
Fox Searchlight has "The Secret Life of Bees" (Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah). MGM-UA has "Valkyrie," teaming Bryan Singer and Tom Cruise. The Weinstein Co. has "Shanghai" (director Mikael Hafstrom, John Cusack) and "The Reader" (Stephen Daldry, David Hare, Winslet and, yes, Rudin).

It was all about baby talk when mom-to-be Daphne Oz caught up with new mom Hilaria Baldwin at the Big City Moms Biggest Baby Shower in New York City on Wednesday.
The Chew host, 27, who revealed in September that she was expecting her first child with husband John Jovanovic, became "fast friends" with Hilaria, Alec Baldwin's wife, as they talked about pregnancy and all things baby, an insider tells PEOPLE.
Baldwin, who is a yoga instructor, has snapped back into shape since giving birth to the couple's first child, a girl named Carmen, in August.
"Hilaria was overheard giving Daphne baby advice and explaining how she was able to get her body back in shape," the insider reveals.
Baldwin, 29, "was in great spirits and seemed happy to put Alec's trial" – involving his alleged stalker, who was sentenced Thursday to six months in jail – "out of her mind and enjoy the evening with hundreds of other new and expectant moms."

With a glistening river beside him and a lush treetop canopy above, Patrick Starr, executive vice president of the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, was in his nature-loving glory atop his Zurich LeMond road bike one spring day a couple of years ago, breezing along the Schuylkill River Trail, when two things of beauty caught his eye.
They were signs on the fence of a restaurant on the other side of Kelly Drive, just west of the Route 1 overpass, in East Falls. One said: "Bikes Welcome." The other: "Beer & Bikes."
The establishment, In Riva, has since become a regular thirst-quenching, carb-loading stop for the Center City resident, who pedals once a week to Valley Forge and back.

Don Williams
Many country singers, for better or worse, sound the same from album to album. The difference among them is integrity; Williams' tunes, mostly by Bob McDill and Wayland Holyfield, are simple, honest and soothing, whether the drawling crooner is celebrating glorious love or mourning a terrible loss. His sound manages to be full and clean with slight, yet sufficient, alterations of rhythm and melody to escape patent repetitiveness. (He has used the same backup musicians, engineers and co-producer, Garth Fundis, for years now, so there is an identifiable Don Williams Sound.) On this LP Williams provides lyrical coordinates for his graph of the emotions. The beautiful Rainy Nights and Memories, for instance, recalls Williams' classic I Wouldn't Want to Live If You Didn't Love Me—an aching ballad in the hard-core country tradition. Ain't It Amazing is a stately love hymn with a quintessential country backup. Falling Again ("before I've even had the time for this ole heart to mend") is the LP's best cut, a shuffling up-tempo tune with Lloyd Green's flawless pedal steel chords whispering in the background. Williams' subtlety and taste are addicting; you never get enough because he never overpowers you. If there is one fault with Williams, it's that his music is sometimes infuriatingly underplayed. One yearns for some pickin' pyrotechnics from his studio pickers and Green to punctuate the sound and kick Williams' sweet solemnity into the more upbeat mood he himself once sang about in Tulsa Time.

Woodstick Big Beat
Audiology students promote hearing conservation at Woodstick. Each year, professional and amateur drummers gather for the Woodstick Big Beat event in Seattle and in 15 other cities across the country to promote drumming and to raise money for local charities. In 2010, 402 drummers participated, collectively generating sound pressure levels as high as 103 dB. Audiology students from the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences at UW have attended the event since 2008 to educate participants about hearing conservation. Students make use of what they have learned in the classroom and clinic to develop interactive materials explaining noise induced hearing loss, hearing conservation, and the proper use of earplugs. The next Woodstick Big Beat event will take place on November 6, 2011.

Mark Evans
Share This
Bassist Mark Evans is perhaps the ultimate "odd man out" in the celebrated history of world-conquering hard rockers AC/DC. Although he rounded out the band's first classic lineup, beginning in 1975, Evans became the first casualty of the band's grueling marathon toward the rock & roll mountaintop two years later, then struggled to keep his musical career afloat in the years that followed, and was ultimately, cruelly denied induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, in 2003, along with his former bandmates.
Born Mark Whitmore Evans in Melbourne, Australia, on March 2, 1956, he was originally a guitarist who accepted the role of bass player when auditioned by the promising AC/DC in March of 1975, shortly after the Australia-only release of the band's first album, High Voltage. Famously, Evans was "invited" to a Tuesday night gig after his audition and only realized he'd been hired when he showed up at the venue (anything but) fresh off his construction job, and was instructed to get up on-stage and start tuning up. After surviving this trial by fire, Evans would go on to perform on AC/DC's T.N.T. (1975), Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap 1976), and Let There Be Rock (1977) albums, appeared in several promotional videos ("It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" and "Jailbreak," among them), and toured extensively across the U.K. and Europe with the band, but his visibility off stage was always modest, to say the least. So when he was summarily dismissed in June 1977 and replaced by Englishman Cliff Williams, allegedly due to personal differences with guitarist Angus Young (later testimonials suggested Evans was "just too much of a nice guy" to endure the rock & roll rat race), it was that much easier for AC/DC to all but write the bassist out of their biography. Almost disturbingly easy, in fact (and Evans' subsequent band failures with non-starters like Heaven, Finch, and Contraband didn't help his cause), as evidenced by the aforementioned Rock & Roll Hall of Fame snub, which reportedly occurred at the last minute with no satisfactory explanation by the band he played a small, but still indelible part, in launching to greatness.

American Idol Danny Gokey Gets Married
Former American Idol contestant Danny Gokey married model Leyicet Peralta on January 29, 2012.
Gokey, 31, and Peralta, 25, got married in front of friends and family in Florida on Sunday.
"We are so thankful to have found each other and now be able to spend the rest of our lives together," the newly married couple told People. "We pray our gratitude grows more every day because there is so much for us to do now."
The couple had a low-key ceremony with about 100 attendees. "We wanted a smaller, more intimate wedding of just friends and family," they said. "The theme of the wedding was romance and love."
This is Gokey's second marriage. He lost his first wife in 2008 after a routine surgery for congenital heart disease.

Tuesday, November 1, 2011
Some days I believe in reincarnation; some days I dont. But if I do get another chance on earth, I want to come back as a dog. Specifically, our dog.
Its good to be Nicky. Very, very good.
For those who may not know, Nicky (aka She Who Rules and Babygirl) is our English Jack Russell Terrier. Google Jack Russell and youll be struck blind by all the different types of JRTs Parson Jack, Irish Jack, Russell Terrier, et al. They may have short legs or long legs; wiry coats, smooth coats or broken coats; prick ears or button ears; long muzzles or blunt muzzles.
Suffice it to say that, as an English JRT (also called Puddin Jacks for their sweetness), Nicky has stumpy legs, an undocked tail and a merry heart . which, by the way, belongs to Widdle.
Nicky is affectionate, obedient and so calm we often pause to check her pulse. She has never, not once, waddled from our yard. She does not dig, yap, nip, drool, jump or tinkle all over the house. Add in the fact that she is a cheerful, nonstop talkerJRTs are famous for uttering a steady stream of chortles, chirps and squeaksand you have the best canine companion one could wish for.
If Im at the computer, she sleeps under the desk. If Im doing housework, she toddles happily from sink to washer and back again. If Im at the fridge she hurries over and politely pretends to admire my pedicure, in case a few crumbs happen to fall from above.
Being well into middle age, she sometimes gets tired of watching me toil and slips off for a nap. Her bed, lovingly selected by Widdle, is very nice, with high sides and a cushion topped with a soft, cozy throw. But if you think Nicky actually sleeps in that bed at night, I have a castle in Harleyville for sale. On the ocean.
She sleeps with us, is where she sleeps, and Widdle would divorce me if I told you who first lifted her on our bed years ago. Hint: Shes Daddys girl. When hes in his bathroom, she sits outside the closed door and moans dolefully. On weekends he takes her everywhere he goes. At night she curls on his chest and stares into his eyes with an expression I reserve for fudge and George Clooney.
Each day she brings us joy.
Do you wonder where we found this amazing creature? Petfinder.com, a clearinghouse for nonprofit shelters and rescue organizations. Enter your state/city, preferred breed of dog (or cat), size and gender and how far youre willing to drive. I guarantee that dozens of healthy, adoptable pets fitting your criteria will pop up within a 50-mile radius.
I wanted an adult female dog less than 20 pounds; breed didnt matter. She had to be within 100 miles, spayed and housebroken. From more than 175 profiles, I picked three to see at a rescue in Florence. After a stringent application process, we drove up on a Saturday morning. Nicky was the first one they brought out. When our eyes met, it was over. I didnt know when she was born or why she was homeless, but I knew she was leaving with us.
I gave the rescue lady $125, which included leash, collar, micro-chip, heartworm preventive and food. Its the best deal Ive ever made.
The next time you need joy, please consider rescue. A life depends on it.

Perhaps no tech company is as recognizable internationally -- for better or worse -- than Microsoft Corp. (MSFT). The veteran firm's operating systems run billions of computers worldwide, and it makes the world's second best-selling video game console to boot.
But where Microsoft has dominated in sales, it's struggled in expansion and image. Between 1991 and 2001 Microsoft grew 12 fold in revenue. Between 2001 and 2011 it grew only 2.5 times.
Microsoft is facing much the problem of the British Empire at its peak in the Victorian era -- whither to expand? Microsoft has found success in the console/video game market, but it's other efforts -- tablets, smartphones, internet advertising, MP3 players, etc. -- have been money sinks and have failed to generate significant market share.
This struggle has led investors to forsake Microsoft. The company is expected to report record yearly revenue of $70B USD and record profit of $22B USD in profit, for its fiscal year 2011 (calendar Q3 2010 - Q2 2011). Stock prices have only risen 6 percent, approximately during that year, even as profits are expected to rise 22 percent. Perhaps investors are waiting for the actual numbers to land, but there seems to be a definite antipathetic sentiment when it comes to Microsoft's stock.
That has allowed rival Apple, Inc. (AAPL) to depose it as the biggest market cap stock in the tech industry. To put that in perspective, Apple sells fewer products than Microsoft in units. Windows 7 license sales recently hit 400 million for the year, meaning Microsoft likely sold around 200 million licenses in the last year. Meanwhile, Microsoft is expected to sell around 20-25 million Xbox 360s. Microsoft won't reveal exact Microsoft Office 2010 sales figures, but it's estimated to be in the tens of millions as well.
This stands in contrast to Apple who is on track to move somewhere around 70 to 80 million iPhones, 15 million Macs, and 35 million iPads for its fiscal year, which ends in September. In other words, Apple moves about 125 million products a year give or take a few million, while Microsoft moves roughly two to three times that. Yet Apple is looking to outpace Microsoft in profits by as much as 50 percent.
Microsoft's underlying issue is that its profit margins are good, but not great. So even though most people in the world have access to one of its products, it's still not financially the market juggernaut some would wish it to be.
And then there's the issue of the perception that Microsoft is falling behind the curve, in terms of technology. This perception largely owes to Microsoft widely publicized internet and mobile device struggles.
Bruce Ventimiglia, Chief Executive Officer at fund manager Saratoga Capital Management comments in Reuters piece, "We have concerns about Microsoft. As we look at Google and others attacking their business lines, our view over the long run is that it's going to erode margins. Microsoft is not moving as forcefully in the tech space as we'd like to see."
Such sentiments were echoed by prominent David Einhorn, who demanded chief executive Steve Ballmer's head for the lackluster stock performance. The bid failed -- Microsoft's board backed Mr. Ballmer and rebuffed the calls for his resignation. But the challenge put the topic of leadership change into serious discussion.
Microsoft arguably is the world's most used tech firm (though Google Inc. (GOOG) and Facebook could also perhaps lay claim to that title). But investors are by and large writing it off. As the brutish, brooding divisive chief, Mr. Ballmer, might echo in the words of late Rodney Dangerfield, "[We] don't get no respect!"
quote: why investors would rather put the money elsewhere.
quote: No visionaries at the top and a structure hindered by layers of management.
quote: you have a few excellent products like Windows Phone 7 are unfortunate failures of marketing. WP7 deserves to do much better than it is.
quote: Part of Microsoft's problem is that too often they rest on their laurels. After they successfully vanquished Netscape, IE development almost ground to a halt. There was a gap of something like a year and a half in which they released no new features for IE,
quote: If Steve "Chair Chucker" Balmer went away...That said, Microsoft is stuck in a situation of being crippled by world governments because they are as big as they are.
quote: He built the company from two guys in a garage to a multi-billion dollar behemoth. I'm sure he knows what he's doing.
quote: Then why failure after failure in every venture over the past decade?
quote: I could say that Apple and Google are complete failures in the Car segment where Microsoft Sync is dominating but neither competitors have a product in that segment. Yet because Microsoft doesn't have a tablet out yet they are a failure?
quote: I think that what needs to be understood is that Apple's stock, until very recently, has also been held hostage. After rising a great deal, it floundered for months. Why? Because financial people couldn't believe that Apple could keep increasing its sales and profits by 60-80% a year. Nuts, right?So if Apple's stock was stuck at those very high growth levels, which has been even higher the past two quarters at over 80% growth in sales and 90 to 125% in profits, why should MSs' stock get a big lift when they announce a 9% increase in sales? After all, last year MS grew by 8.59%, with a profit growth of about 29.6%. pretty good, right?But Apple grew by 79.3%, with a profit growth of 140.9%, and that was from high levels before.So the real question is why should MS's stock go up by 6% with the relatively meager growth, when Apples' only went up by 2.67%MS isn't getting pounded by the financial people, Apple is.
quote: Microsoft's underlying issue is that its profit margins are good, but not great.
quote: Apples methods to protect itself, anyone that has been around long enough to know their history can understand the beast that they evolved into. It just so happens that that beast is very close to what today's market is saying it needs in order to come out with the best margins.Microsoft was not pushed the was Apple was as their companies matured. And so, I believe, their current position is very understandable. The thing with that is, some people foolishly thing MS is in a bad position somehow because of this. They aren't. They need to keep going how they have been. Like IBM has been. Slow and steady boats, my salty friends.If investors want MS to have Apple like sales margins, or whatever, then they will need to hire people that have has experience with companies that were backed into a corner and nearly died. Sadly, if they did that, I think MS would quickly fall into the deep blue seas, as it just wouldn't fit their own corporate evolution.
quote: Microsoft should be a bit more worried than you suggest, their business is hugely dependent on products that are very old
quote: In a way I think Microsoft's success in the past and it's triumph in the old PC paradigm has given it a long easy ride that has let it get unfocussed and a bit flabby. Maybe the rise of Apple, Google, Facebook will truly frighten Microsoft and transform it's culture. They don't have a lot of time, if Windows 8 flops in tablets and WP7 flops in mobile then their star will probably start to fade.

You ask me about it more than you inquire about Brandon Roy. More than Greg Oden. More, too, than Trail Blazers playoff hopes. In fact, it is the single-most asked about issue when it comes to your NBA team.
The subject -- every day -- is Comcast SportsNet Northwest. And your question is: "How long will I be held hostage?"
The safe answer: Eight more years.
Because the regional sports network cut a 10-year, $120 million deal with the Blazers in the spring of 2007. Initially, the network was only available on Comcast cable, which large areas of this state can't even get. And despite assurances from team executives, we're still caught in a staring contest between stubborn DirecTV and greedy Comcast that isn't going to end without congressional intervention.
Blazers executives promised you two years ago that this television deal was a good thing. It assured fans that every one of the team's games would be broadcast, every season. And why not? The team was headed for a return to the playoffs.
Insiders at multiple carriers, local and national, have shown me how Comcast SportsNet negotiates. The network is asking for unreasonable rates, and wants the carriers, even the small regional ones that serve bedroom communities, to include their network in the programming package that every one of their customers receives.
That would result in one rate hike.
For every customer.
Even if the subscriber is a non-sports fan who never even watches the channel.
Verizon Fios added Comcast SportsNet Northwest. Eventually, so did Ashland Home Net, Canby Telecom, Monroe Telephone, Wave Broadband, Country Cablevision and Bend Broadband. They've decided to find a way, or to pass the rate hikes on to everyone, and hope that the people who aren't sports fans stay with them anyway.
Competition is supposed to be a good thing.
So why don't the customers just switch to a provider that carries the games?
Many can't.
A few are locked into contracts with other providers. But the vast majority simply don't live in areas that are serviced by a cable or satellite company that carries the games. They're at the mercy Comcast SportsNet, and I suppose their best chance of getting the Blazers this season is to quit their jobs and relocate their families.
You're frustrated. The Blazers are frustrated. They get calls, too. And the organization was told when it negotiated the original deal that Comcast SportsNet wanted the biggest possible footprint and would do what's necessary to make it happen.
A Blazers executive promised you that it would be done by the 2007-2008 All-Star break. Then, he promised end of the season. Neither happened. Then, the promises stopped coming. And now, we're about to enter a third season where fans feel held hostage.
People in large areas of
They're good at this kind of thing, see?
I've heard from a great number of people who are using gadgets such as Slingbox, a streaming device that works remotely, to work around the Comcast fiasco. Others yet, are enlisting friends and relatives and giving DirecTV mailing addresses outside the 150-mile blackout area.
Beat them at their own game I suppose.
Maybe you're excited about seeing
Whatever the case, you want to know, "When does it end?" And that's a question that Comcast SportsNet refuses to answer, even as it's the only one that can truly end the absurdity.
I've had occasional discussions with various executives at Comcast in the last two years. They've given me their talking points, and attempted to make this standoff about something else. But in the end, their tactics amount to exploitation.
They're feeding off your love for the Blazers.
It's a wonderful thing that should the Blazers reach the playoffs again, the games would air nationally. Nothing Comcast SportsNet can do about that. Also, 15 regular-season games will air in high definition on KGW, with an additional seven regular-season games carried nationally on ESPN and ABC.
The news release that announced that television deal included the word, "Free."
Set them free.

Over the past decade, a number of factors have served to focus national attention on the prospects for developing effective pharmacologic treatment to reduce cocaine dependence. The media, the general public, and its elected leaders became alarmed about the spread of cocaine use, abuse, and dependence.1 Traditional drug treatment programs reported that cocaine dependence was less amenable to established treatment strategies,2,3 while researchers cited animal data on the powerful reinforcing potency of the drug.4 The historical success of methadone maintenance treatment for heroin addiction, combined with a growing base of research on the neuropharmacology of cocaine, suggested that some new pharmacotherapy offered the best and most cost-effective hope for a seemingly intractable and growing problem. Knowledge of some of the residual effects of cocaine and/or stimulants in the central nervous system5-7 and of kindling phenomena related to repeated cocaine administration8 led to a number of

Ciao, sono Danielle!
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Stati Uniti · Membro da Novembre 2011
My name is Danielle. I am a senior in college, and I will be attending law school next fall. I usually travel with my boyfriend of 3+ years. We are both very well behaved. Neither of us smoke. We are clean, respectful, and slightly nerdy (read: intelligent young adults who never risk alcohol poisoning, take our shoes off at the door, and won't destroy your lovely homes). We always leave our hamster, Socrates, at home when we travel.

Xavier Samuel
Age: 26
The Aussie actor joins Eclipse as Riley, the human who falls for Victoria and becomes a vampire to do her bidding. Though he starred in films Down Under, Samuel faced a steep learning curve adjusting to Twilight fame. "It's a bizarre thing, the whole celebrity phenomenon," he told Australia's Sunday Mail. "It's a little strange having someone follow you to get a coffee." The attention doesn't surprise director David Slade, who tweeted that Samuel delivers a "power performance." But that doesn't answer his fans' most pressing question: Is he Team Edward or Team Jacob? "I'm gonna sit on the fence," he said. "I'm not down with the wolf pack; I'm not down with the Cullen clan!"
Catalina Sandino Moreno
Age: 29
The actress says that transforming into Maria-the seductive 19th-century vampire who turns "nice Jackson Rathbone into evil Jasper"-wasn't hard at all. "As soon as they put in those red contact lenses, I was another person," says Sandino, who earned an Oscar nod in '04 for her role in Maria Full of Grace. "It was so nice to be an evil vampire!" But no one was more excited about Sandino's darker role than her family. When she told her cousins about the Eclipse gig, "they couldn't stop screaming!"
Bryce Dallas Howard
Age: 29
Replacing Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria-the fiery nemesis who creates a band of newborn bloodsuckers to hunt down Bella-Howard told MTV she felt "a huge responsibility to do my best." Turns out she had no problem freaking out her costars. "She's such a good actress, it was easy to be scared of her," says Kristen Stewart. But "she's really sweet as well." Howard toured Vancouver with her husband, actor Seth Gabel, and their son Theo, 3, during her downtime. Says Stewart: "It was funny to see her go back and forth."
Age: 15
Onscreen, she's out to kill the Cullen clan as newborn vampire Bree Tanner. Offscreen, the British Columbia native is a proud member of Team Edward, who was "really excited to meet Robert Pattinson!" she told E! News. An even bigger coup: Ferland scored a top-secret-albeit temporary-copy of Stephenie Meyer's novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, due out in June. "After I read the story," she said, "we burned it."
Age: 29
The best part about playing Leah Clearwater, the only she-wolf among her pack of male costars? "They take care of me," the actress has said. "I feel like the youngest daughter." And the worst? "They're loud," said the Boston native, best known as Dr. Montoya on ER. "And they wanna borrow your hair products!"
Booboo Stewart
Age: 16
The star launched his career not on the big screen, but in the studio: At age 12, Stewart signed a recording deal with Walt Disney Records and the pop group T-Squad. The L.A. native (real name: Nils Stewart Jr.) later starred in the '09 indie flick American Cowslip before joining Taylor Lautner's tribe as scrappy shapeshifter Seth Clearwater. The day he got the good news, "I was screaming!" he said. But his revelry was short-lived: "The next day my mom made me go do yard work, so we're pretty down-to-earth."
Age: 19
"I've been playing the girl next door for years, so it was fun to be bad!" says the Vancouver native, who starred in ABC Family's Kyle XY. Mean or not, Twi-hards still can't wait to meet the new vampire. "In L.A. I went to the Gap, and the girl behind the counter said, 'Lucy! You're from Eclipse!' " says Prout. "The movie hasn't even come out. It was nuts!"
Age: 25
TV's Caprica star grew up training as a dancer alongside her twin sister, Erin ("She's five minutes older!") in Victoria, B.C. Still, those body-hugging leotards were nothing compared to the corset she dons to play vampire Nettie in Eclipse. "It was very tight," says Gibson, who had three wardrobe women lace her up. "But I'm willing to take the pain!"
Jack Huston
Age: 27
The British export-and Anjelica Huston's nephew!-said he dived into "a bit of a darker place" to play Royce King II, Rosalie's adoring boyfriend turned abusive fiancé. In real life, though, the actor has been happily dating So You Think You Can Dance host Cat Deeley for more than a year. While the pair share custody of their two dogs, don't expect them to share a home just yet. Said Deeley: "I like my huge walk-in closet."

P3 Designs Launches Its Revolutionary New Golf Course Search Tool Called The Golf Course Fitting System
January 22, 2013. The Golf Course Fitting System is a revolutionary patent pending golf course search tool that actually "fits" golfers to golf courses.
For years golfers have been able to search for golf courses on the Internet by parameters such as rates, location, architect or rankings. All of these parameters are useful for a golf course search. However, searching for a golf course by these parameters alone leaves a massive void in valuable information about the golf course's design and layout . . . the very things that impact the actual "playability" of the golf course. The Golf Course Fitting System was designed to fill this void by placing this valuable "playability" information at the heart of the search criteria. When using the Golf Course Fitting System a golfer can quickly find golf courses that not only "fit" their budget but "fit" their playing preferences as well.
The Golf Course Fitting System has a unique algorithm that takes into account every golf course's physical design characteristics (hole by hole) and converts this "playability" data into a standardized personality score called a Tee-To-Green Personality. The Golf Course Fitting System's user interface allows a golfer to design a golf course Tee-To-Green Personality that they would like to experience and then search for golf courses that "fit" the design that they have created. This unique user experience is what lead P3 Designs, LLC to the slogan for their new application . . . "You design it. We find it."
"After nearly two years of research, design, construction and data entry, we are extremely excited to launch our Beta version of The Golf Course Fitting System for the golf world to experience," said Chad Derusseau, founder of P3 Designs, LLC. "We are now turning our attention toward establishing strategic business relationships through affiliate programs, licensing and joint ventures. Ultimately we want The Golf Course Fitting System to be part of a comprehensive golf website where golfers can book tee times, book golf travel, create player & group profiles and connect with PGA Professionals and other golfers. With the right platform and support The Golf Course Fitting System will revolutionize the way golfers search for golf courses on the Internet."
P3 Designs, LLC is a company based in North Carolina that specializes in golf marketing and information technology. Derusseau founded the company in 2010. For more information, contact Derusseau at 910/467-2733 or via email at email@example.com.

Return to Form for Owens
Didn't you just know that Terrel Owens would return to his poisonous form? He's seemed to be a good team player and said all the right things--until he couldn't handle it anymore.
While the Dallas Cowboys were trying to downplay a possible rift between Terrell Owens and Jason Witten, the two nearly came to blows on Friday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram first reported Saturday.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen, according to team sources, confirmed an incident occurred at the Cowboys training facility when Witten tried to engage Owens in a conversation about a pass route. Owens told Witten to stay away from him and called him a name. The two exchanged words before being separated.
Now he's crying and bringing unneeded attention to his team like the Terrel of old.
In a strange way it's kind of nice to have the old TO back. He's an ass, yes, but it's always an entertaining break with normalcy, isn't it?
According to the stats, TO's whining is also baseless. Over this season and the last few years, he's actually seen more pass attempts come his way and come away with fewer catches than his sworn arch-enemy. Ouch.

Scarborough The Revelation Merlot 09
$39.65 Regular
Washington Merlot at its peak. A ribbon of bright red fruit pairs with black cherry kirsch, plum, dark chocolate, licorice, and a tiny hint of green peppercorns. There's a fascinating sweet earthiness that we couldn't name right away, then bingo: candy cap mushrooms. They are one of nature's tastiest items... A mere 48 cases were made, from Klipsun Vineyard.
2007 Vintage Tasting Notes
In 2006 we had to �Release the Fervor*� with our Merlot. This year, we are causing �The Revelation� with it! Straight out of the Klipsun vineyard, this 48 case production is the reason we like Merlot to be on its own. It might be one of the finest Merlot�s from Klipsun. There is plush cassis, dark cherries in wine, but what is remarkable is the level of elegance and grace compared to most Klipsun or Red Mountain fruit. It will not overpower you with tannins, oak and fruit, instead it will coat your mouth and leave you asking for more! 50% New French Oak.*Name of last year�s wine. - the winery
Merlot. What makes people think this isn't one of the best grapes to grace our planet? People close your eyes and drink Merlot. You'll find out that you like it, when made properly. Chateau Petrus, one of the world's most expensive bottles...made out of Merlot. So why are you afraid of the things that will make you happy? 100% Merlot from Klipsun Vineyard. It's aged 24 months in 50% new French oak and then screams on out the door...only 48 cases made....get some! - the winery

Patient- and Family-Centered Care that Sets the Standard Across the Country
We Are Here For You
When planning for this hospital, doctors, nurses and patients presented their wish lists, and we worked tirelessly to bring our patients the care that set the standards and raises the bar higher than ever. The hospital has been completely renovated to provide patients with access to exceptional service and the most advanced, sophisticated technology in a patient- and family-friendly environment. Emory University Orthopaedics & Spine Hospital offers a comprehensive approach to patient and family care:
- Patients and families are involved in medical decisions.
- New culture and philosophy centers every decision around what is best and most helpful for the patient and family.
- All patients stay in specially-designed private suites with sleeping accommodations for a guest; or family suites, so more than one family member can be part of the healing process.
- Unrestricted visiting hours. We offer 24-hour visitation for patient-approved friends and family.
- Restaurant and room-service style dining where patients can order anything on the menu from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and have a delicious meal delivered to their suite within 45 minutes.
- Wireless Internet Access (complimentary).
- Private suites for all patients (most private suites have a pullout bed for family members).
Benefits of Emory's Dedicated Orthopaedics & Spine Facility:
- A dedicated facility is proven to be more efficient and results in better outcomes than general hospitals. By concentrating all surgical services at one location, Emory physicians and staff can focus on the special needs of the orthopaedic patient population, which translates to quicker recovery times, increased safety, and better patient satisfaction.
- An opportunity to combine the efficiency of a dedicated hospital with the expertise and sophistication of a university hospital system. This unique and innovative concept offers patients a higher level of specialized care with all the attributes of a major university medical center: research, technology and a seamless link to other sub-specialists located at other Emory hospitals.
- Dedicated Orthopaedic and Spine nursing staff.
- Specially-designed Orthopaedic spaces with furniture customized for total joint and spine patients.
- General medicine patient floor with Emory physicians and staff available 24 hours a day/7 days a week.

Maintaining Momentum: Interim President Judy Bonner
Q. What were your first thoughts when you were approached about being interim president?
A. Like most everyone else, I was initially surprised that Dr. Witt would leave the presidency at this point in time. Clearly, his vision and leadership not only guarantees him a special place among all of the men who have served the University as president, but these were also qualities the board was looking for as the new chancellor for the system. Obviously, I am deeply honored to be able to build on Dr. Witt's many accomplishments by working with our outstanding faculty, staff, students, alumni and community leaders in this new capacity. These are exciting times for the University.
Q. You have worked very closely with Dr. Witt throughout his tenure as president. How has that prepared you to be interim president?
A. I have actually worked very closely with Dr. Witt since his first week at The University of Alabama. There are very few decisions that he made that we didn't discuss. And, obviously, I played a role in executing his vision on campus. Dr. Witt has been an exceptional transformational leader. I learned from him the importance of focusing on a small number of priorities and on conducting business with a sense of urgency. His ability to focus and to instill a sense of urgency allowed so much to be done in such a short period of time.
Q. Will anything currently planned, such as building renovations, campus master plan, etc., be postponed or held up, or will it proceed on schedule?
A. Absolutely not. We will continue with business as usual.
Q. Do you see yourself as a caretaker interim president, keeping current momentum going, or do you have new goals you want to put forward? If so, what are those goals, or when would they be shared?
A. Over the last nine years, our campus has come together with a shared vision. During this transition, we will maintain the momentum that has characterized our campus. I will not be a caretaker; instead, I will make the decisions that are necessary to continue the progress we have been making. Naturally, the diverse views and talents of our University community — faculty, staff, students and alumni — will always be welcomed in the president's office.
Q. How do you plan to allocate your time to balance the duties of both provost and president — what will your priorities be?
A. I have delegated many of the responsibilities associated with the office of the provost to other vice presidents and assistant vice presidents. I will continue to work directly with the deans and with the Faculty Senate. Clearly, I need their support in order to continue the progress we have been making.
Q. Many members of the UA community will want to interact with you as interim president. What is the best way for them to communicate their ideas and concerns to the president's office?
A. I want to be available to the University community. I would like to have an open door policy but the reality is that getting my administrative assistant Kathy Morrow to find a time when we can meet will be the easiest way to not waste your time. She can be reached at 348-4892 or firstname.lastname@example.com. The president's office email will be firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q. Are you moving into the president's office?
A. I will work out of the president's office.
Q. Will this transition affect faculty recruitment in any way?
A. The University of Alabama continues to be in an enviable position of hiring new faculty. This will not change.
Q. Describe your leadership style.
A. I would describe my leadership style as collaborative. I value input from the stakeholders. To an extent, I like to "play the game before the kick off." In other words, I like to think through the consequences of action before taking it. But, then, I make the decisions that need to be made.
Q. How many hours a week do you work?
A. Obviously not enough!
Q. How do you like to start your work day?
A. I try to get to the office by 7 a.m. so that I can have some quiet time in the office before the day begins. I prefer to have some time to organize what needs to be accomplished.
Q. What can the faculty and staff do to help you as interim president — what do you need from us?
A. There are many things that are great about The University of Alabama. But, nothing can be accomplished without the hard work and dedication of our faculty and staff. Together we can achieve anything. During the last nine years, our faculty and staff have come together to support a shared vision of making The University of Alabama the institution of choice for the best and brightest students. Faculty and staff from every division of the University embraced the vision and contributed significantly to creating a culture where we are all working together to translate this vision into reality. In doing this we have matured as a university. My hope is that the faculty and staff will continue to work together to maintain the momentum.

Looking for a fantasy story that treads new ground? Look no further than Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword by Barry Deutsch. This refreshingly offbeat graphic novel tells the story of a young girl in an isolated community who wants to be a dragon slayer. Mixing elements of fairy tale, Yiddish folklore, and small town dynamics, Barry Deutsch has created a coming-of-age hero tale that is also a magical and poignant picture of Orthodox Jewish life. Recommended for grades 4 and up.

by C. A. Sharp
Whelping an Australian Shepherd litter is like opening a series of surprise packages. Will the next pup be black? Red? Will it be merle or have showy white markings? Will its copper be bright?
Sometimes the surprise is bigger than the breeder bargains for. There, among the tiny squirming bodiesblack and blue merle, red merle and redis color that clashes with our notions of what an Aussie should look like.
Aussies are a young breed. There are people still active who can remember a time before breed clubs. A few may still recall when no one registered Aussies at all. In those days, Aussies came in all the colors we know today, plus a few. These other colors were not common even then, but their genes still lurk in the Aussie gene pool. Every once in a while those genes align.
In the years before registries, more than a few breeds likely contributed to what is today the Australian Shepherd. At the time, the ranchers and farmers most likely to have the dogs were only concerned that pups would prove useful. Thus two proven workers would be mated in hopes of producing more of the same, without much concern for whether their parents were purebreds or of the same breed and certainly not for what color they were. In those days before neutering became common there were also probably more than a few oops litters.
It is safe to say that just about every herding breed and probably a few hunting breeds were among the contributors to todays Aussie. This contributed to our varied set of acceptableand unacceptablecolors. The Farmers Dog, a classic work on the Border Collie, observes that all of the acceptable Australian Shepherd colors plus the most common unacceptable ones have occurred in that breed. English Shepherds come in the same group of colors, except for merle.
Off-colored pups are becoming more rare, but every breeder needs to be aware of the colors most likely to occur and the genes that produce them.
Dilute: One of the two most common unacceptable colors is dilute, a recessive trait. It should not be confused with dilution spots, which are isolated off-color areas in an otherwise normally colored coat. In dilutes, the coat color, whether black, red or merled, is lightened by the action of a pair of these genes. Areas that would otherwise be black appears slate blue, blue areas are a significantly paler shade than would occur without the dilute genes. Liver will become Isabella, a buffy-orange shade. The dilution will not affect tan (copper) trim.
The result can be quite strikinga blue coat trimmed with white and bright copper or a merle with slate blue on silver. Dilutes of black and blue merle are easy to spot. Not so reds. Due to the variability of pigment depth in our reds and especially red merles, a dilute may appear washed-out but not evoke further comment.
Dilute is also seenand is acceptablein Great Danes, Weimeraners, Neopolitan Mastiffs and Dobermans, among other breeds. In Dobes, but not the other breeds, it is sometimes associated with skin problems. This does not appear to be the case in Aussies, either. Since dilute is a recessive. Both parents must carry the gene for puppies to be dilute in color.
Yellow and Reds with Black Noses: The other most common unacceptable color, the result of another diluting gene, is E-locus yellow. Also recessive, this gene acts on the base color, whether black or red, merle or not, causing it to be colors ranging from pale yellow to chestnut. Aussie breeders have sometimes called the color peach. If the color is at the chestnut end of the scale and the dog also has at least one gene for black, the result will be a red with a black nose.
If the animal is merle, the pattern may be visible when it is young but tends to fade to an even color in the adult coat. Tan markings will not be apparent, though white will. If the dog carries two red genes, the nose, eye rims, lips and pads will be liver.
Sable: This color is most commonly associated with Collies. It may have come to Aussies from that breed or the Shetland Sheepdog, but Border Collies and English Shepherds will also occur in this color. While once seen fairly frequently, it is now extremely rare. Aussies described as sable today are almost always actually E-locus recessives.
According to Clarence Little, author of The Inheritance of Coat Color in Dogs, the gene that causes sable color is dominant to that for tan trim. Most Aussies have tan trim and therefore cannot carry sable. A truly sable Aussie would have to have at least one self colored (no tan trim) parent who carried the sable gene or a sable parent.
When a sable individual is also a merle, the result is a sable merle. The color is often muddy and unattractive. For this reason Collie and Sheltie breeders tend to keep merle and sable lines separate. In some individuals, the merle pattern may be so indistinct the observer will not know the dog is merle.
Saddle Pattern: A color pattern common in German Shepherd Dogs and universal in Airedale Terriers, the saddle pattern features a blanket of full pigment over the back with lighter hair ranging from beige to red over the rest of the body. These individuals will not have tan trim (the lighter color areas are actually very widely-distributed tan). They may have white markings. The color of the saddle will reveal the dogs genotype as regards black/red and merle/solid.
The gene for this color pattern lies on the same series as self-color, sable and tan, falling between the latter two in dominance. Like sable, saddle pattern pups would have to have at least one parent without tan trim. A sable could produce a saddle pattern, but their rarity in the breed makes this unlikely.
Brindle is a lacy pattern of one color over another. The brindling is usually arranged in irregular stripes extending from the dorsal line on a forward slant. It is often seen in Greyhounds and Boxers, as well as a number of other breeds.
The pattern is easily distinguished on a slick-coated dog but may be less obvious on our coated Aussies, as the longer hair would obscure the striping and blend the colors.
The color of the stripes an Aussie can have vary, depending upon whether the dog has genes for black or red, merle or not. The brindle stripes could also be dilute in the unlikely circumstance than the Aussie was also homozygous for the dilute gene. The rest of the color will be beige to deep red. The brindle dog may have white markings, but not tan.
Brindle is recessive to full pigment but dominant to recessive yellow. Brindle will overlay tan areas, so a dog carrying a single brindle gene would have brindled tan. This last might be difficult to distinguish from the blending of tan and the base coat color which occurs frequently in Aussies.
Always rare, this the genes for this color may have been lost to the Aussie gene pool.
Excessive White: Most Aussie breeders learn early on that breeding merle to merle can result in defective pups, most of which will have excessive white per the breed standard. [ see

On May 7, the state of Georgia recognized officers who have died in the line of duty by placing their names on the Georgia Public Safety Memorial Wall at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center. Det. Wilson's name was not among them.
A decision was made by the memorial committee, headed by GPSTC Director Tim Bearden, that Det. Wilson's was not considered a "line of duty" death. This decision was made despite the fact that the committee's own guidelines state "Clearly, an 'off-duty' employee responding to a fire, an armed robbery, an escape or an injured person would be considered to be engaged in 'line of duty' activities."
As a police officer in the state of Georgia for the past 23 years, I find this decision patently offensive and inexcusable. Every officer who is in the act of taking police action – regardless of the time of day, the hours of their normal shift, or the mechanism of their death – is acting in the line of his or her duty. We, as a law-abiding society, owe these men and women nothing less than to establish their memories in this lasting place of honor. We owe Det. Wilson nothing less.
It is my hope that bringing attention to this dishonorable action by Director Bearden and the committee will encourage them to reconsider their decision and recognize Det. Wilson's service and sacrifice, as all of our state's officers deserve.

There's no question about it, bunnies have a penchant for wiggling their way into our hearts given their floppy ears, fluffy tails and ultra-loving personalities. But due to their inquisitive nature, they also have quite the knack for wiggling their way into trouble; thus the reason bunny-proofing your living space is an absolute necessity once you've welcomed a rabbit into your world.
Cover Those Wires!Reading may be a beloved pastime of human beings, but when it comes to bunnies, chewing everything from wires to cables and cords is a hobby they simply can't get enough of. Due to risk of electrical shock, which could result in the injury or death of your fuzzy friend, not to mention the cost and time required for cord replacement, this is one of the biggest hazards for bunny — No. 1 on your list for bunny-proofing your home. Use plastic tubing to cover all exposed wires, cables or cords that your bunny may come in contact with; such tubing can be found in hardware stores in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials. This simple trick will keep both your bunny and your essential household items safe from harm.

much better commentators who acctually help you enjoy the fight more instead of ruining it.
much better matchups, hbo still has more of the top p4p fighters but they dont match them well. they give them easy fights and con ppl who dont understand boxing into buying them (like this weekend).
showtime make fights real fans are excited about, fights where you dont already know whos gonna win goin in. when they have the best fighters in any given division they match them against eachother instantly.
BAD > ShoBox is all they got on showtime and thats me reaching to give hbo some love.

Just about any 9mm self defense load will be fine; the pistol itself will not likely display any real preferences.
I prefer the 147gr HP bullets; some folks like 'em lighter and faster. Right now, I'm using the Winchester Personal Protection 147gr HPs in my carry pistols without issues.
October 26, 2008, 04:39 PM
Thanks, Bernie. I have some Golden Saber 115g, but haven't fired anything but ball out of it yet. I am concerned about overpenetration, though...is a heavier or lighter bullet better to prevent this?
I am not a total newbie with firearms, though I am a bit rusty on some things. On ammunition variations...well, there are a lot of opinions out there. And not all the "testing" done can be considered reliable. I am somewhat limited money-wise, and don't have the cash to try out a dozen different types of self-defense ammo.
October 26, 2008, 04:44 PM
There are terminal ballistic tests out there on several web sites, including Brassfetcher and The Box O' Truth. I suggest that you do a quick scan and see what this data does to help your thinkin'.
