I love a full-on, hardcore woodworking project: milling the wood from rough lumber to glass-smooth surfaces, careful design and proportions, and sturdy, hand-cut joinery to keep everything in place for many decades to come.

Apple Car
Apple's electric vehicle project
At A Glance
- Hundreds of Apple employees are rumored to be working on a car-related product under the code name "Project Titan"
Rumored Features
- Electric-powered
- Earliest expected launch in 2020
- Autonomous driving system also in the works
What We Know
The Apple Car is what the media has taken to calling the car-related project that's rumored to be in development at Apple under the code name "Project Titan."
Apple is said to have hundreds of employees working on creating an electric vehicle or vehicle system at a secret location near its Cupertino headquarters. Little is known about Apple's car plans, but sources have suggested some early prototypes in development may resemble a minivan.
The Apple Car is in the early stages of development, and Apple is still in the process of recruiting people for the project and meeting with car makers and automotive suppliers. The project was being led by Steve Zadesky, VP of Product Design, but he left the company, causing some disruption to Apple's plans and delaying the prospective launch date of the car from 2020 to 2021, but Apple was able to replace Zadesky with Bob Mansfield, who has taken over the project despite retiring in June of 2012.
Under Mansfield's direction, Apple is said to be expanding its car project to focus more on autonomous driving systems that would perhaps allow it to partner with or purchase a car manufacturer in the future. Apple is now said to be pursuing a two-prong development approach, working both on a car and the software to power it.
In September of 2016, Apple made some major revisions to its car project. Dozens of employees were laid off as part of a reboot to focus on autonomous driving systems.
It is no longer entirely clear if Apple is continuing to build its own car. It appears the company is focusing much more heavily on developing technology for autonomous vehicles rather than actually building a vehicle, but it is still pursing manufacturing partnerships.
Apple's massive hiring spree has led Tesla CEO Elon Musk to refer to the Apple Car as an "open secret" in the car industry. According to Musk, the hundreds of engineers Apple has taken on make it clear there's some kind of electric car in the works. "It's pretty hard to hide something if you hire over a thousand engineers to do it," he said. Musk believes Apple will be ready to debut the car in 2020 and has called Apple's efforts a "missed opportunity" due to the company's late start.
Apple has been searching for a place in the Bay Area where it can begin testing vehicle prototypes, talked with the DMV about vehicle regulations, and has initiated talks with charging station companies, all moves that suggest Apple's interest in a car is serious. Apple may team up with an established manufacturer to produce the Apple Car, and while talks with Daimler and BMW fell through, Magna Steyr is thought to be a candidate for partnership, and a team of 12 Magna engineers are said to be working with Apple on the car.
Chrysler Fiat is planning to partner up with Google parent company Alphabet for its self-driving cars, and it has said it would also be open to a partnership with Apple, and rumors have suggested Apple is considering an investment in or acquisition of luxury car maker McLaren. Apple is also said to be considering purchasing electric self-balancing motorcycle company Lit Motors.
We don't know what the Apple Car will look like, but based on Apple's existing product line and its desire to expand iOS beyond the iPhone and the iPad, we can assume that any Apple-produced car will integrate deeply with the iPhone.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has been questioned about Apple's plans for a possible Apple Car several times, and while he has remained largely tight-lipped, he's given us a few hints about Apple's interest in an automobile. In one interview, Cook said he believes autonomous driving and user interfaces in cars will see significant changes in the coming years.
"I don't have anything to announce about our plans. But I think there's some significant changes in the automobile industry over the next several years with electrification and autonomous driving. And there's a need for a focus on user interface. And so I think there's a lot of changes that will go on there."
In a second interview, when Cook was outright asked to put the car rumors to rest, Cook said "Yeah, I'm probably not going to do that." He went on to say Apple is filled with "curious people" who explore a range of technologies and products. Cook's most tantalizing Apple Car tease was delivered to shareholders in February of 2016 after he was questioned about the possibility of a car.
Do you remember when you were a kid, and Christmas Eve it was so exciting, you weren't sure what was going to be downstairs? Well, it's going to be Christmas Eve for a while.
Apple Car History
Apple's interest in a car dates back to before the original iPhone, and Apple executives discussed building a car before the device launched. Steve Jobs considered developing an Apple car, and even met with the manufacturer of the lightweight, inexpensive "V-Vehicle" in 2010, but is said to have ultimately decided not to work on a car in 2008, preferring instead to focus development on the iPhone.
With the iPhone now secure as Apple's most profitable device, Apple has turned to other avenues of research and development, once again exploring the possibility of an Apple Car. The first details on the Apple Car started leaking out at the beginning of 2015.
In February of 2015, a mysterious van leased to Apple was spotted driving around streets in Northern California. The van had a camera rig attached to it with multiple cameras, leading to speculation that Apple was using it to develop a product similar to Google Street View. More outlandish speculation ranged towards the possibility of a self-driving vehicle, but people who spotted the vans quickly determined the vans had drivers. Apple later came out and said the vans were related to a mapping project, but they were undoubtedly the catalyst that led to the discovery of Apple's secret on a car.
Just days after the vans were first spotted, an unidentified Apple employee emailed Business Insider, suggesting Apple was working on a project that would "give Tesla a run for its money." The source said that Tesla employees were "jumping ship" to work on a project at Apple that was "too exciting to pass up."
That tantalizing hint led several media sites to dig deep into Apple's plans, and in mid-February, Financial Times learned that Apple was recruiting automotive technology and vehicle design experts to work in a "top-secret research lab." That piece highlighted Apple's hiring of former Mercedes-Benz Research and Development exec Johann Jungwirth and pointed out Apple's efforts to research automotive products.
Financial Times and other media sources initially speculated Apple was perhaps developing an advanced software platform to build upon CarPlay because a full-on car project sounded unbelievable, but just hours later, The Wall Street Journal launched a figurative bomb. Apple is indeed working on creating an electric vehicle, said the site, a project that it started exploring in 2014.
According to The Wall Street Journal's sources, Apple has hundreds of employees working on designing a minivan-like electric vehicle under the code name "Project Titan." Steve Zadesky, Apple VP of Product Design was leading the project under Dan Riccio, and was given the go ahead by Apple CEO Tim Cook to recruit upwards of 1,000 employees, many from within Apple, who are working on the project at a secret location near the company's Cupertino campus. Apple executives have met with contract manufacturers of high-end cars like Magna Steyr, who could potentially work with Apple on creating the car if Apple's project continues. A 2016 report from a German news site suggests Magna Steyr will assist Apple with producing the Apple Car.
Rumors have disagreed on whether or not the cars will include self-driving technology.
In January of 2016, Steve Zadesky announced plans to leave Apple, leaving questions as to who would take over the car project following his departure. In July of 2016, The Wall Street Journal reported that Bob Mansfield has taken over the electric vehicle team.
Mansfield retired from Apple in 2012, but stayed on as an advisor. He has worked on Apple's "Special Projects" team and will now be leading Apple Car development. All senior managers working on the project now report to him instead of Dan Riccio, who Zadesky formerly reported to.
One rumor suggested Apple spoke to BMW about using BMW's electric i3 body as the base for the Apple Car, but those talks reportedly ended without a deal. The i3 is a small hatchback with a carbon fiber shell and could hint at the design direction Apple is aiming at for its car project. A second rumor has suggested Apple and BMW could resume talks in the future.
Apple also was unable to establish a deal with Daimler, and its inability to ink deals with both Daimler and BMW was reportedly caused by questions over who would lead the company and which company would have ownership over data. Apple wants control over the car, including deep integration with iCloud, which has caused negotiation difficulties.
Apple has sourced test facilities for the Apple Car project, suggesting prototype vehicles may already exist or will soon exist, and Apple has also met with DMV officials in California to discuss the current laws surrounding autonomous vehicles.
Apple has been in discussions with charging station companies about their undelying technologies, suggesting the company is researching charging methods for the rumored Apple Car. It is not clear if Apple plans to develop proprietary charging methods to charge the vehicles or if it will take on a partner to design a system compatible with other available charging solutions.
In September of 2015, reports suggested Apple was speeding up development on its car after upgrading the project with a "committed" label. Apple is planning to make additional hires in the coming months and years and is said to be targeting 2019 or 2020 as a completion date for the project.
After Mansfield began heading up the project in the summer of 2016, Apple's car strategy shifted towards autonomous driving. While work on a full car has not ceased, Apple is rumored to be developing an autonomous driving system that could be used in a wide variety of vehicles, allowing the company to have the flexibility to install it in its own car or license it to other manufacturers or partners.
In September of 2016, Apple laid off dozens of employees who were working on the project following an internal "reboot" of the project. Apple has adjusted the project to focus more heavily on the "underlying technology" for autonomous vehicles rather than actually building an automobile, but it is still pursuing partnerships with companies like McLaren.
Apple is on track to spend $10 billion on research and development in 2016, up 30 percent since 2015. According to analyst Neil Cybart, that's a sign Apple is looking to make a long-term pivot beyond the iPhone and he believes the money is going towards the development of the Apple Car.
Apple's electric car plans are unrelated to the vehicles that have been seen driving around the United States and other countries, with Apple itself confirming that the vans are for a mapping project aimed at introducing a Google Street View competitor. Some early speculation had suggested the vans were part of Apple's electric car project, but it has been clear for quite some time that this is not the case.
Recruitment Efforts
Apple started with team of about 200 employees working on the Apple Car, but its goal is to have upwards of 1,000 employees on the project. Since early 2015, Apple has been recruiting employees from the automotive industry and other car-related fields, such as researchers with specialties in battery technology and autonomous systems.
Some employees on the team have previously worked for major companies like Tesla, Ford, and GM, while others have been recruited from smaller companies like A123 Systems, MIT Motorsports, Ogin, Autoliv, Concept Systems, and General Dynamics.
High-profile Apple hires from Tesla include former mechanical engineering manager David Nelson, former senior powertrain test engineer John Ireland, former Tesla head recruiter Lauren Ciminera, who may be working to recruit additional employees for the car project, and former Tesla vice president Chris Porritt, who may have joined Apple to play a key role in the development of the Apple Car. Porritt has decades of experience in the European automotive industry, having worked for companies like Land Rover and Aston Martin prior to joining Tesla.
Former Tesla senior CNC programmer David Masiukiewicz joined Apple in April 2016 to work in the Product Realization Lab, perhaps creating prototypes of parts designed for the Apple Car. Kevin Harvey, who previously worked in the CNC machine shop at Andretti Autosport, is also working in the lab.
Other notable hires include five employees from A123 Systems, a company that specializes in producing batteries for electric vehicles. Apple faced a lawsuit (now-settled) from A123 Systems over the poached employees, several of whom had expertise in lithium ion batteries designed for electric vehicles. The company's former CTO, Mujeeb Ijaz, is one of Apple's highest profile hires. Ijaz led a team responsible for research and development at A123 Systems, and prior to that, he worked at Ford as an electric and fuel cell vehicle engineering manager.
Apple has also recruited two former Ford engineers and an engineer that came from General Motors, and it has been poaching battery experts from Samsung. Other former Ford employees, with expertise in body work, include Todd Gray and Aindrea Campbell.
In mid-2015, Apple hired Doug Betts, who previously served as the Senior Vice President of the Chrysler Group, where he was the global head of operations leading product service and quality. Betts may be part of the operations team working on Apple's car project.
Apple hired several employees from electric motorcycle startup Mission Motors, reportedly leading to the company's shutdown. Apple recruited six engineers from the startup, whom are said to have electric drive expertise.
Apple has been hiring individuals with expertise in autonomous vehicles, such as Tesla Motors engineer Jamie Carlson, who worked on Tesla's autonomous vehicle firmware project, Paul Furgale, a researcher with specialization in autonomous vehicles, and Jonathan Cohen, NVIDIA's former director of deep learning who worked on deep learning for NVIDIA's Drive NX platform.
Apple has also hired Megan McClain, a former Volkswagen engineer, Vinay Palakkode, a graduate researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, Xianqiao Tong, who developed driver assistance systems for NVIDIA, Sanjai Massey, a Ford engineer who worked on connected and autonomous vehicles, Stefan Weber, a Bosch engineer who worked on driver assistance systems, and Lech Szumilas, a Delphi research scientist with former expertise in autonomous vehicles.
Rónán Ó Braonáin, who worked as Director of Engineering at Reviver, a company that creates digital license plates, was hired by Apple in August. It is not clear if digital license plate technology is something Apple is planning on for the Apple Car, but it's a possibility.
Apple has made multiple hires with expertise in charging technology, including Nan Liu, an engineer who worked on wireless charging for electric vehicles and Kurt Adelberger, an expert on charging that formerly worked for Google.
Other 2015 hires include Tesla Motors engineering manager Hal Ockerse, who worked on driver assistance system components; Subhagato Dutta, who worked on an automotive algorithm team at Texas Instruments; and Yakshu Madaan, who previously worked at Tata Motors, the largest Indian automotive manufacturer.
In the summer of 2016, Apple hired Dan Dodge, who formerly ran BlackBerry's automotive software division and developed QNX, the software platform found in a wide range of in-car infotainment systems. Dodge's automotive software expertise suggests he is working on the team developing Apple's autonomous car system.
Apple is likely to continue making high-profile hires over the coming years as it works to build its car development team.
Apple is said to be working with a South Korean company that will supply battery technology for the Apple Car. Apple plans to independently develop batteries based on the company's hollow battery techniques, described as lithium-ion secondary batteries with a thickness of two fingers and uniquely hollow centers.
There has been some disagreement between rumors as to whether the Apple Car will be an autonomous vehicle. Bloomberg has suggested Apple could include self-driving capabilities in the Apple Car, while multiple reports from The Wall Street Journal suggest that will not be the case.
Instead, The Wall Street Journal says Apple is exploring the functionality and that it could come in a later version of the Apple Car, which lines up with inquiries Apple has made into autonomous vehicle laws and its recent hires. Apple is said to be working on an autonomous car system that could be spun out into its own project should its Apple Car plans fall through.
Apple has been hiring multiple employees with experience in autonomous and connected vehicles, and company executives met with California DMV officials to discuss the laws and regulations surrounding self-driving vehicles in the state.
Though it's currently looking like the first version of the Apple Car may not include self-driving features, it is clearly an area that Apple is exploring as work on the Apple Car project progresses.
Secret Headquarters
Several rumors about the Apple Car have included details suggesting Apple employees are working on the project at a top secret location in the Bay Area. Rumors and speculation suggest Apple's car campus might be located in Sunnyvale, California, just minutes from the company's main 1 Infinite Loop Campus in Cupertino.
Apple officially leases several known buildings at the Sunnyvale location, but it is also said to be operating out of a shell company at the site, SixtyEight Research. SixtyEight Research claims to be a market research firm, but has received city permits for the construction of an "auto work area" and a "repair garage," and "motor" noises have been heard from the spot late at night. It is not known if the rumors of the car project being housed in Sunnyvale are accurate, but based on past information, development on the car is indeed taking place at a secret location outside of the company's main campus. Apple has been snapping up a lot of real estate in the Sunnyvale area, including an industrial building that was once a Pepsi bottling plant.
Several of the buildings potentially associated with Apple's car project have secret internal names referencing Greek mythological characters like Zeus, Rhea, and Athena, all of which are tangentially related to "titans" in Greek mythology, perhaps hinting that the buildings are related to "Project Titan."
Building plans Apple filed with city officials suggest the company's Sunnyvale facility, codenamed "Rhea," is being used for something car related, with references to automotive terms like "lube bay," "wheel balancer," "tire changer," and "wheel sensor.
Apple is also rumored to be operating a secret vehicle research and development lab in Berlin. The facility is said to employ between 15 and 20 men and women from the German automotive industry, all with backgrounds in engineering, software, hardware, and sales. The workers at the lab have all been described as "progressive thinkers" in their fields.
According to the CEO of a major Bay Area property company, Apple is looking for 800,000 square feet of real estate space near its Cupertino headquarters for autonomous car research and development facilities, in line with all of the real estate purchases Apple has made in recent months.
In May of 2015, Apple began looking into secure facilities in the Bay Area where an Apple Car prototype could be tested. The company is said to have met with officials at GoMentum Station in the East Bay to discuss potential use of the facilities. GoMentum Station is a retired naval base that's used as a secure test facility for connected and autonomous vehicles.
Didi Chuxing Investment
In May of 2016, Apple invested $1 billion in Chinese ride-hailing service Didi Chuxing, which can be likened to Uber. Didi Chuxing dominates the ride-sharing industry in China with more than 80 percent market share. In July of 2016, Uber announced a merger between its operations in China and Didi Chuxing, further expanding Didi Chuxing's reach in the country and adding value to Apple's investment.
Didi Chuxing could potentially be useful to Apple's car project in the future, serving as a data source for self-driving vehicles. If Apple does develop an autonomous car, deploying it to Didi Chuxing drivers would give the company a wealth of knowledge to improve its self-driving algorithms.
Apple's Auto-Related Domains
In December of 2015, Apple registered three auto-related top-level domain names, including apple.car, apple.cars, and apple.auto. While the three domains could potentially be related to CarPlay, it's also possible Apple has saved the domains to be used in the future with the electric car that it is said to be developing.
Currently, the domains are not being used by Apple and do not contain any information.
Tesla Relationship
In early 2014, rumors suggested that Apple had considered purchasing electric car manufacturer Tesla, after the company's head of acquisitions, Adrian Perica, met with Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Musk later confirmed that Tesla "had conversations" with Apple, but declined to comment on whether those conversations revolved around an acquisition. At the time, he said that an acquisition of Tesla by any company was "very unlikely" because he wanted to stay super focused on the goal of creating an affordable electric car.
Apple and Tesla acquisition talks seemed improbable in early 2014, but now that news of an Apple Car has leaked, it seems somewhat more likely that Tesla and Apple did potentially mull over the possibility of an acquisition. Elon Musk has said that were there a scenario where an acquisition would further Tesla's goal of an affordable electric vehicle, he would consider it.
If there was a scenario where it seemed like it would be more likely that we would be able to create the mass market sort of affordable, compelling car then possibly it would make sense to entertain those discussions. I don't currently see any scenario that would improve that probability, so that's why I think it's very unlikely.
Apple and Tesla's relationship soured in late 2015 as the two companies started poaching employees from one another. In a recent interview, Elon Musk said "If you don't make it at Tesla, you go work at Apple." Musk later retracted his statement and said he loves Apple products and he's "glad they're doing an [electric vehicle]."
Should Apple release an electric car, Tesla will be one of its biggest competitors. Tesla already has several years of car-producing experience and is set to release its Model 3 in 2017, priced affordably at $35,000.
Release Date
Apple often works on projects that never make it to market, so there's a good chance the company's car plans could be shelved or used in other ways, such as the development of a new in-car platform, but it's also possible, given the size of the team, that Apple is committed to bringing a car to market. At this early stage, it's impossible to determine whether the project will continue or when a car might launch, but it's safe to say an Apple Car is unlikely to see a release for several years to come.
According to rumors, Apple was said to be pushing for a 2019 or 2020 production date, but the target launch date has slipped to 2021 due to the loss of a top executive and other internal challenges like unattainable timelines and an inability to lay out clear goals. Apple Car development may be back on track now that it's being run by Bob Mansfield, but given the layoffs, it's possible we'll never see a physical vehicle.

If you're someone who relies on clitoral stimulation to climax, but fancy trying something different, this is the perfect toy for you. Innovative in every way, it's ergonomically shaped for maximum contact and satisfaction.

To operate, press the large gemstone button to incrementally increase the vacuum, and press the power button to immediately return to the lowest setting for a tantric build-up.

Gave me my first orgasm ever at 28 years of age
Reviewed: 14 August 2016 by NeverTooLate, a Straight Single Female
I decided to invest in this product after reading all the reviews.
I'm 28 years old, have had plenty of sex with partners in my past but have never ever been able to reach orgasm alone or with a partner.
I have a trunk full of toys that I enjoy, but they never do the trick. Every other vibrator numbs my clitoris, and while it feels good, I've never orgasmed.
I tried this over a few days and found myself coming close to having one. And today, it happened, and holy *********. So that's what they all go on about.
Honestly, being unable to orgasm has affected past relationships and devastated me, thinking something was wrong with me or that I need to seek a sex therapist - really, I just didn't have a tool to help me reach it faster, and this is it. I am absolutely thrilled.
- Pros
- It gave me a long, powerful orgasm, and my very first ever.
- Cons
- It's perfect.
- Bottom line
- Mind-blowing. Great for those who can't orgasm or can't easily.

Reviewed: 10 July 2016 by Will_, a Bisexual Going Steady Male
I bought this for my girlfriend. She is hard work when it comes to orgasms. I'm ashamed to admit I don't always get her there myself. So when we noticed the Womanizer as a new product we were intrigued. We were, however, put off by the price (impulsively spending £150 on a product we've only just seen and have never heard of before seemed a bit much).
Then a while later I saw it on sale and I thought I'd surprise my girlfriend. Wow am I glad I did!! Serious boyfriend points earned and that's before we even used it.
So we used it last night on the day of arrival and it is brilliant. I couldn't help but grin and she writhed around, I knew then it wouldn't take long. I think her first orgasm came within a minute and this was me using it on her too. I imagine it'd be even quicker by herself as she knows what feels best. After some other activities I reached for the Womanizer, and again orgasm in about a minute.
I'm thrilled to be able to do this for her. Though the only setback is it's actually too quick. She said it felt great and was shocked at how quick it was, but she missed the build up. So while this is definitely an amazing toy that does the job within a minute, we won't be using it until after we've already played a lot beforehand.
- Pros
- It works! Brilliantly.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- 10/10. Amazing toy.

Sensations of mythic proportions
Reviewed: 07 July 2016 by bex1213, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
It's hard to write a review about a product that is so totally unique and unlike any other toy I have ever experienced. Is it the most powerfully vibrating toy on the market? No. Is it the prettiest toy out there? No. Does it simulate oral sex? No. Does any of this matter? Absolutely not! I can honestly say I have never tried anything so mind-blowingly good since I first discovered the vibrator.
The packaging is fantastic. Mine came in a pretty box and upon opening it I discovered that the product has a pink zip case with storage space for the toy, extra head attachments, and the USB charger. As the nozzle (for lack of a better term) is removable, cleaning is super easy. Everything has been planned for and taken care of.
Now, I'm just going to come out and say it, this is an absolutely bizarre looking toy. Ear-thermometer is the right description and it's also just not very elegant. I had a hard time choosing my design because none of them were particularly appealing. With the giant gem stone in the middle I feel like this was designed for the bling obsessed pre-teen in me rather than the sophisticated woman I like to think I am today. In the end, I went for the red rose and it looks exactly the same as its picture. No false advertising at the very least.
I was surprised at the size of the Womanizer if I'm honest. It's quite heavy and while it easily fits in your hand, it isn't a small toy. I was concerned that the hollow tip (for the sucking sensation) would be too large for my small clitoris, but I couldn't have been more wrong. I tried the tip on my finger first, just to judge what I was getting myself into before taking the plunge, something I seriously recommend to anyone using this for the first time.
It seemed a little wimpy but I was not deterred. In less than 2 seconds I'd managed to hit the jackpot and in under a minute I had achieved what I can only describe as a miraculous orgasm. The Heavens parted and I'm pretty sure I saw God. You will need to 'spread' a little, but apart from that I doubt anyone would have problems locating the right spot. It is unlike any sensation I have ever experienced. The entire clitoris is enveloped with the vibrations and the sucking holds you firmly in place even while you wriggle around in pleasure.
Did I mention that this was only on the first setting? Yeah. It's that good, and I have a magic wand sitting in my drawer!
I originally bought this thinking it would simulate the sucking in oral sex, which is my favourite. However, no person alive can do anything like this toy. It is a totally new feeling and can't be compared to anything else.
There are a few issues with the Womanizer W100, however. Beyond the slightly tacky look, it is perhaps the noisiest toy I own. It's like a loud, deep rumbling, which can be a little off-putting.
Also, when I orgasm, I need the speed to go way down ASAP which is why I prefer a dial to a button. However, the buttons are easy to find and if you press the power button, it will return to the lowest speed from whatever power you were on previously. You just have to find the little bugger mid-orgasm.
When I called it a miracle, I really wasn't using hyperbole. If you are a woman that craves direct clitoral stimulation, this is unbeatable and totally unique. Save up and buy one. It is 100% worth the investment!
- Pros
- The orgasm is incredible! Easy to use and store. Fantastic all round.
- Cons
- Perhaps a bit tacky and very loud.
- Bottom line
- Best new toy I've had in while. Like discovering my clitoris again!

As pack animals, wild dogs have natural instincts that favor support with their fellow dogs. Many domestic dogs in Scottsdale, either through instinct or breeding, can correctly interpret or respond to signals given by a human trainer. This is called pet training.
The hardest part of training in Scottsdale is communicating with the pet mainly dogs in a humane way is that the dog understands. The underlying principle of all communication is simple that is reward preferred behavior while ignoring or correcting undesired behavior. The owner must use and reinforce the techniques taught to its pet. There are command which may work indoors might be confusing out-of-doors or in a different situation. The command will need to be re-taught in each new situation.

Every day I will give a new reason to be pumped for the upcoming college basketball season. Here's the 75th reason to be excited for college basketball season.
Every sport has its day. Baseball has Sunday night baseball, football--Monday Night Football, the NBA--Friday night games.
College Basketball is no different. ESPN showcases the best of the best every Monday night.
Since 1987, ESPN has featured different conferences in double-headers and even triple-headers.
The 2008-2009 season will be no different. The Big East will lead off Big Monday with a 7:00 game followed by a 9:00 Big XII game, and finished off with an 11:00 WCC game.
The announcing lineup for the Big East game makes Big Monday the premier night of college basketball.
Sean McDonough's unmatched ability to call games complimented by Jay Bilas's top notch knowledge of the inner-workings of the game and Bill Raftery's energy makes a blow out a learning experience and a meaningless nail-bitter exciting.
ESPN has really lucked out with this year's schedule. The Big East is poised to have the best season ever for a conference which means there will be no shortage of great games.
Every Monday ESPN will be able to feature any two of four top ten teams and five more top 25 teams just from the Big East.
Between games and during halftime, College GameNight catches viewers up with all the action going on around the country.
Big Monday will also continue to feature a matchup of two of the top women's teams on ESPN2.
As great as Big Monday will be, the rest of ESPN's lineup has to be mentioned.
Super Tuesday will continue to air a SEC game and a Big 10 game while Wednesday Night Hoops, also known as ACC Wednesday will usually feature a pair of the ACC's top teams.
The Thursday Night Showcase is beginning to rival Big Monday in terms of the overall lineup. It'll feature four games, including an ACC game and Big 10 game on ESPN with a Big East and Atlantic-10 game on ESPN2.
Lastly, the Saturday Night Primetime game is usually the premier contest of the week and is the subject of ESPN's GameDay show.
ESPN also made one of the best programming decisions its history when it decided to put every single game its airing on any of its outlets whether it be ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN classic, ESPNU, ESPN-Plus on ESPN360.com. Most cable providers give viewers access to ESPN360.com which means most college basketball fans can watch on average a dozen games a night online.
So reason number 75 you should be pumped for the 2008-2009 College Basketball Season is the ability to watch hundreds of top games every week.

FireCorehas just announced on its forum that they are "hard at work" on a new version of Seas0nPassthat takes advantage of the evasi0n jailbreak. They expect to have it available "soon".
This time we didn't write a word on a new jailbreak until we had everything double checked. And so, as we have just jailbroken our Apple TV 2 running 5.2 firmware, we can now confirm that the recently updated Sn0wbreeze 2.9.8 does bring the untethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 on iOS 6.x.
Chances are, you are aware of FireCore and their work with a product known as aTV Flash. As everyone scrambles to get the jailbreak set for the Apple TV 3, the FireCore team is still hard at work getting the Apple TV 2 software to the best it can possibly be. For those of you who have not yet jumped on board with FireCore, aTV Flash (black), recently updated to version 1.6, offers some great features and extras that you should know about.
FireCore's Seas0nPass has been updated to provide a tethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 5.0.1 (iOS 5.1.1). Tethered jailbreak means that every time there is a need to reboot your Apple TV, you will have to connect it to a computer. Functionally, both tethered and untethered jailbreak are identical.
Just days after the tethered jailbreak of 5.0 for the Apple TV 2 was released, we have XBMC working hard to ensure that we don't get left behind! If you were one the many users who happened to update your ATV2 firmware to iOS 5.1 you were likely saddened to discover that there was not yet a working version of XBMC 11.0 "Eden". Well, your day has come. Memphiz and Davilla, a developers and team members of XBMC, has been working hard to patch the issues caused when trying to install XBMC over the latest 5.0 firmware update.
FireCore's Seas0nPass jailbreaking tool has been updated for Apple TV 2 running latest firmware 5.0. It's still a tethered jailbreak, meaning every time there is a need to reboot your Apple TV, you will have to connect it to a computer. XBMC, Plex, Remote HD, Rowmote and Overflow plugins are not yet working on AppleTV 5.0. Media Player, Couch Surfer, nitoTV, Last.fm, Weather, RSS Feeds and Maintenance are already supported. Non-working items require an author update for 5.0 compatibility.

These directional control valves are otherwise known as switching valves and they are the ones responsible for the flow of liquid in the system. They can stop, start, pause and change the direction of the flow depending upon the system`s requirements, check https://www.tridenthydraulics.co.uk/. They are available as poppet valves, spool valves and rotary slide valves. Their functioning depends upon few factors like power limit defining the flow and pressure, leakage and the switching time. Any change or problem in any of them will hamper the complete process.

Creating a Sustainable Environment with Ethical Clothing
Ethical clothing focuses on creating an environment which maximizes the benefit for workers and in turn for the whole world. The textile industry is very huge and employs a massive number of workers. Sadly, they are made to work in poor, unhygienic and sweatshop conditions. Their wages are meager and quality of life is low. Ethical Clothing gives them a chance to improve their livelihood.
When we purchase something, do we ever think – 'Who made my shirt'? No. A lot of hard work, pitiful wages, sweat and hunger is behind every garment made. Are we doing justice to the workers? We pay around $40 on an average for a regular shirt. Of that amount, how much do you think goes to paying the salary of the worker who sewed the shirt? Next to nothing! Suffice to say, what he/she earns in a month is what we spent on a single article of clothing.
If factories follow ethical practices, workers will be given equal consideration and a chance to uplift their quality of life. Most of the workers dwell in poverty and this scenario can be changed once the basic wage is increased and when workers rights are defended.
Slow Extinction of Local Products
There has been a steady deterioration of the local skills and products due to heavy importing from other countries. Hand-loom weavers and artisans are losing their ancestral skills, and are moving to cities in search of work. This is only because they are so under-paid that they find it difficult to make ends meet.
When a country imports cheap products and we buy them at a lower rate, the original local product fades away from the scene even though the quality is better.
In the race for providing cheaper, easily available products, quality takes a beating, obliterating well-made local products. Self-help groups and NGOs are doing their bit to encourage local production.
The upliftment of the poor worker and the preservation is ancient craft and skills is the key to a world that is rooted in tradition.
Advantages And Dis-Advantages Of Self-Tapping Screws
The thread-forming self tapping screws for metal have the below given advantages and disadvantages.
* They hold on to the surface very firmly.
* There is sometimes a pronounced risk of the screw being over-tightened because of the pressure that is applied which can lead to the breakage of the material being used.

While there are umpteen chartered accountants that offer really fine services in the UK; the Birmingham accountants remain one of the finest in the whole of the country even to this day.

How Does The Laminate Wood Flooring Deceive You To Believe That It Is Real Hardwood Flooring?
The all new laminate wood flooring is an interesting concept of flooring that has changed the interiors of many houses today. People have started opting for this method as it is far cheaper than installing the regular hardwood. Hardwood is definitely associated with the rich but today with the introduction of this flooring, everyone can live their dreams of owning a wooden floor. It is cheap because its base is made of compressed wood, unlike in hardwood where sheets of wood from exotic trees are used.

TravelPod Member ReviewsVelas Vallarta Suite Resort Puerto Vallarta
We keep going back to this same resort because of the friendliness of the staff, the cozy setting and the wonderful service. We love the beach restaurant - beautiful view and great food!
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
This was our fourth stay at the resort. We have the option to not take the all-inclusive so we chose not to this trip. We like to try local restaurants as well as enjoying the beach restaurant at the resort. Our friend Rigoberta at the beach restaurant is our favorite waiter but all the staff is excellent. The units are clean and very comfortable, the grounds are gorgeous and the drinks are reasonable compared to Nuevo Vallarta.

Historical Traveler Reviews Velas Vallarta Suite Resort Puerto Vallarta
Spectacular Resort
Brand new resort just opened in December 2002, not even quite finished when we stayed there. This resort is in Nuevo Vallarta directly on the beach. The place is incredible, awesome open air lobby and check in centre, 3 large pools (one heated), swim up bar, 3 restaurants, large suites with balconies all overlooking the ocean and the pool, lots of really comfortable beach chairs, free internet access by the front desk. The food was outstanding, if eating in the buffet be sure to request them to cook your food fresh, garlic shrimp were fantastic along with basically everything else. I have been sick 2 of 2 visits to Mexico before this trip and this time not even a hint of sickness. Beautiful beach for walking, and nice waves for body surfing. The best thing about this hotel however, is the service - the best I have ever experienced at any resort. Everyone was very eager to please. I would say this is as close to perfect a resort as I can imagine.
Be Carefull, there are TWO OF THEM!
Be careful, there are two resorts, owned by the same group with confusing names. There is Velas Vallarta Grand; and Grand Velas Vallarta. Grand Velas Vallarta is the newest, just opening in Dec 2002. It is also mandatory "all inclusive" ; and there are NO kitchens in the suites at all. There ARE many sales people there, but just get past them because the resort is GEORGOUS! I only say no thanks once to them w hen I arrive. I never acknowledge them again or they will attempt to engage you. Velas Vallarta Grand is older, but still georgous. Most units have kitchens and all inclusive is optional. Its a little closer to town (right next to the airport, YUK) and lots of grown up vegatation. Love them both. They have separate things to offer.
Excellent Resort but too may salespeople
We have been to Velas Vallart, Puerto Vallarta last year and we fell in love with place. Our first trip we ended up buying an ownership at the resort and last November 2002 we upgraded our membership to Villa Plus. I guess it is too late now to change our mind in buying the membership but hopefully we can sell it back to them. The sales people are quite nice but not very honest on what they tell you.....something to watch. If you are there listening to the salestalk (more than 1 1/2 hour) do not sign anything until you are quite clear. WATCH FOR SOME OF THE LIES FROM THE SALESPEOPLE. I do not think that they have any conscience at all.
Did not lke Velas Vallarta Grand Suites Resort
Just got back from one week, all-inclusive at the Velas Vallarta Grand suites Resort. I would not go there again, nor would I recommend it to anyone. As soon as we entered the lobby and after we got our room key, the "vultures" decended on us. The horrible Time Share Salespeople. They are rude, arrogant and will not take NO for an answer. After a long flight, all we wanted to do was go to our room and hang up our clothes and change. We had to become very abrupt with the salesperson and all she said was "why don't you want a time share?". It is a totally money-driven hotel. We talked to a lot of people who had bought a timeshare there and they all regretted it. They continually receive a lot of pressure to upgrade their timeshare for more $ and less privileges than their original contract. The contracts keep changeing every year and hot to the benegit of the buyers. The hotel itself is very nice looking with lovely pools and grounds but the jr. suites are not nice, no balcony or patio. DO NOT GO WITH ALL-INCLUSIVE, the menu us terrible and all the food is tasteless, lots of beans and tacos, YUK!!! Go to another hotel instead, or you will regret it.
In love the Velas!!
Hello...just returned from Puerto Vallarta and cannot stop talling about it. We stayed in a one bedroom...room 3167. Large with full kitchen, dining table with 6 chairs, tv's in both bedroom and living room. Double sized patio with perfect view of nightly sunset...awesome!! Not one complaint about room. Hotel is beautiful..pools are amazing with canal that connects the main pools which you can swim through. Gardens are stunning with bridges etc. I thought the beach was fine...did boogie boarding, played some beach soccer and volleyball when there were enough people. Staff were excellent...no problem with service. Two restaurants which were good...buffet in both for breaky. Beach restaurant sooo nice in morning for breaky...eat and stare at the water. Due to the hurricane they had a while ago, it was quite slow all over Puerto Vallarta so we had no waits for anything. Dowtown is about a 10-15 minute taxi and costs about $4.20 US plus tip. There is abus right outside but for the 4 of us would have been $3.60 or so so we always jumped in a cab. Quicker too. The Malecon downtown (boardwalk where you walk along the beach) was closed due to the hurricane but most stores/restaurants open. Some hotels closed though...Sheraton/Holiday Inn. They got hit hard I guess.
We would defintiely go back to the Velas...no question. Next time, though we will hit the grocery store more and make some meals in our room, then venture to other restaurants downtown etc. We had a meal plan that included all breaky's and 3 lunches/dinners. Would not do that option again, nor would I do the all-inclusive. Restaurants are good, but get boring. The studio room which offers the all inclusive is small with no patio or deck. There is an all-inclusive option that you can purchase when you get there - $45.00 US per person per day. Good idea on days you plan on staying at the resort...all drinks/meals all day.
Otherwise I wouldn't suggest it.
Please email with any questions...I would love to answer them for you.

Nice but watch out for the time share sharks!
We made Velas Vallarta Grand Suites Resort our honeymoon destination. Early July was a great time to go, it was in the down season so it was less crowded.
The staff and accomodations were wonderful and we were just a short cab ride to the downtown.
We got some good prices on silver right on the beach at the resort. Make sure to haggle.
The only thing you should watch out for are the time share (or the "fractional ownership") sharks that are everywhere, even at the resort you choose to stay at.
They suck you in with gifts/discounts and then proceed to agressively try and sell you on time shares. They say it is for an hour and a half but the presentation lasts a full morning and you will leave being very annoyed with the salesperson. My advice would be to pass on this aggrivation... it's not worth it unless you are seriously interested in time sharing!
Comfortable and scenic, but....
it is about twenty minute ride in taxi to downtown area. There is a bus that stops in front of the hotel that will take you downtown, which I recommend you taking versus a taxi. It is cheaper and quite the experience if you haven't taken a bus ride in Mexico.
The Hotel is very clean, decorative and inviting. The pools are great, but the beach itself isn't very appealing. It's nice to look at, though.
Our bedroom was on the southside of the hotel and didn't get much of a view of the beach front.
We had to wait till 2:00pm to check in, but they provided a temporary habitacion to quickly change and relax by the pool.
One thing I did not like was that if you are in need of bottled water at 1:00am. You have three choices...drink the potable water from the sink, take a ride downtown, or wait till morning. There are no vending machines in the hotel.
I just figured that something as simple as bottle water should be accesible to you at any hour.
In closing, I would try a couple other hotels before returning to Velas Vallarta Grand Suite Hotel. It was very nice, but not Great.
Nice but....
The larger accomodations were fairly nice, but the small studios were quite undesirable! I was suprised and disappointed in the quality. Also, watch out for the timeshare presentation they offer, it isn't completely on the up and up.
A very nice hotel
Velas Vallarta is an impressive hotel -- no doubt about it. The front lobby area is expansive and inviting, but just beyond it is the wonderful, lushly landscaped courtyard with three interconnected swimming pools and winding paths throughout the property.
Of the two restaurants on the property, I much preferred the open-air beachfront restaurant, which offered an excellent breakfast buffet for about $7. (The hotel offers all-inclusive packages, but I recommend against these since downtown Puerto Vallarta offers some wonderful restaurants and it would be a shame to constrain yourself to the limited imagination of a single hotel kitchen...)
The hotel is arranged in a horseshoe shape, so most inside suites have good ocean views. The suites are very spacious and inviting. The hotel also has "junior suites" for the budget minded, and while these get you into this first-class hotel and let you use the amenities, they are decidedly below first-class accomodations. They are small and utilitarian with no views.
Velas Vallarta is in the upscale Marina Vallarta area, which is comfortable and pleasant, but it's a bit of a ride to downtown.
Overall, Velas Vallarta is an excellent hotel and a good choice for Americans who want comfort and lush surroundings.
Great hotel, but don't go in June
A group of us went to Velas VAllarta in June of 2001. It is a beautiful hotel with a lush pool area and huge pools. If you go here opt for the all inclusive plan because the food is much better than at other resorts and makes a much more relaxing vacation. Our room was quite dark, but was good overall.
The biggest problem we encountered was the hotel was filled with hundreds of high/drunk high school grads. They took over the pool area and would barge ahead of other guests in order to get their drinks. The bartenders did nothing because they knew that the all inclusive people would not be giving tips. The grads would run up and down the halls yelling until the early morning. If you go to mexico in May/June and would like to have a relaxing vacaion make sure there isn't any grad groups at your hotel.
I would definately reccomend this hotel for the great pool area and food.

After dinner, the four of us took in the Magic & Comedy of Joseph Tran. Pretty good show with some nifty illusions. With a 7:00 a.m. arrival in Puerto Vallarta the next day we called it early so that we can get off the boat for the short 7.5 hours stay here in P.V.
We arrived exactly on time and cleared Mexican customs pretty quickly so it's breakfast and we're off to ...

want to buy tequila, did you eat yet, and on and on and on. This went on the

The funny part was when we walked over to the Mexican section of town, away from the tourist/sight seeing section. Some outsider's would probably feel uncomfortable because it

I always have to save a lot of room in my suitcase for snacks from Taiwan on my trip back. The prohibition on meat and fruits and vegetables limit my options greatly, but I still load up on other snacks.
There are a few staple items I always get for myself and to give as gifts to friends. I thought I'd share a few pictures before I dived in and ate them.
Pineapple cakes
Pineapple cakes are popular in Taiwan and can be found at almost every bakery. Every place makes their own and claims to be the best. A few years ago we really enjoyed the ones from Chia Te. Ever since then, my aunt always gets them for us to take home.
Pineapple cakes have a shortbread-like exterior which crumbles upon touch. The inside is filled with a pineapple jam-like filling. One of these days, I want to try making my own. These are probably the most requested item people ask me to bring from Taiwan. And don't let the plain appearance fool you. These cakes are usually sold for about $1 a piece.
Wife Cakes
I honestly have no idea where the name comes from. There are two variations of this cake. One is called Sun Cakes, and the other is called Wife Cakes. Both have the same filling, but the difference is in the skin. Sun Cakes have a thicker pastry skin and Old Wife Cakes have a thinner skin. Each is filled with a sweet maltose filling. The "cakes" are actually shaped like cookies. The skin is a flaky pastry that breaks up a lot and can get quite messy when you are eating it.
I prefer Wife Cakes over Sun Cakes. The pastry exterior is a little dry, so I like that the Old Wife Cakes uses a thinner skin.
Handmade mochi
It's hard to find Taiwanese style handmade mochi these days. In the U.S. all I can find are Japanese mochi and processed Chinese mochi. While I like mochi in almost any form, Taiwanese handmade mochi is my favorite. A lot of the bakeries in Taiwan now offer other forms of mochi and have gone away from the handmade ones.
I previously blogged about a store called Pau Chuan, which makes handmade mochi. On this trip, during a day trip to Yilan, we found a bakery famous for their handmade mochi. Taiwanese handmade mochi is chewier than machine made mochi. It's also a little less sweet. These don't keep well. You have to freeze them if you don't eat them right away. And even then, you are supposed to eat them in a week.

Wow the cake looks delicious, Taiwan is known to be a place of great delicacies. Great photos. Thanks for sharing.
My family is from Taiwan and whenever my parents come back they always bring me these desserts. There's no comparison in America, even with the bakeries in Chinatown in New York City where I live. It's nice to see them get a little more love here in the states!
I'm a half-Taiwanese and your post brings me back great memories! Thank you for it!
They're called Wife cakes because there was this legend where this couple had nothing to eat and the husband asked the wife to make something to eat and so she made this cake…really pastry…that was really filling out of winter melons which was the only thing that they had. And they named it wife cakes. The filling inside is made out of winter melon
Can the Chiate pineapple cakes be purchased in San Diego? If so where?
Is there a way to order the wife cakes? I've had them years ago when my brother got back from his mission and I've been hopelessly addicted but never able to find out what they were and here they are!
One of my very favorite treats is a Chia Te pineapple cake. In fact, I just picked up my husband up from the airport and he brought home a box of them along with some milk cakes that he was able to pick up during his business trip to Asia. I have searched San Diego for something that compares to the freshness and no added preservatives of the Chia Te brand and have yet to find. If you know of a good local Chinese bakery that I should consider please share their name. By the way, thank you again for the great demonstration at Macy's over the weekend. I plan to make your mug cake recipe very soon!
