Improve your RFM scoring with email marketing
Yesterday, we had a great conversation with our technology partner, Windsor Circle, about ways in which email marketing can make retail eCommerce more profitable and more effective. One of the discussion points revolves around RFM analysis. If you're unfamiliar with the term, Wikipedia defines it as:
RFM is a method used for analyzing customer behavior and defining market segments. It is commonly used in database marketing and direct marketing and has received particular attention in retail.
RFM stands for:
– Recency – How recently did the customer purchase?
– Frequency – How often do they purchase?
– Monetary Value – How much do they spend?
Most eCommerce systems use a model similar to this to score their customers on each of the three aspects, including the Windsor Circle platform and the WhatCounts platform. One of the great weaknesses of the RFM model is that it's solely a reporting metric. RFM does not provide any meaningful predictive ability – it's merely a signpost in the rear view mirror that tells you what happened. It does, however, give you the ability to segment your audience to understand different problem areas.
That brought the discussion to email marketing. What can email marketing reasonably change? It turns out that email marketing can add juice to each of the three dimensions in the RFM model. For example, let's say you run an RFM analysis on your customers and find a significant segment of customers with a low R score. They've bought from you, but it was a long time ago. The logical and straightforward thing to do there is to solicit them to come back and buy something, anything. Target did a great job of this with a recent mailing that was in my inbox yesterday:
Their plea was simple: We miss you. We have coupons. Wanna reconnect?
Now, their real world store system isn't tied into their email marketing system or they'd know I'm in one of their physical stores nearly every week, but the campaign itself was wonderfully executed.
Let's say you have a frequency of purchase problem, a low F number. Maybe the customer comes by a lot, maybe the customer has bought big, but the customer window-shops much more than they buy. Can email marketing contribute to fixing that? Well, yes. The most logical thing to do is analyze your data for follow-on purchases. If someone comes to your golfing website and buys a set of drivers, then leaves, it's reasonably logical to conclude that at some point in the not too distant future, they're probably going to need golf balls. Send them an email with a special on golf balls and you stand a good chance of solving your frequency issue.
What if you have a monetary value problem in your database, a selection of customers who stop by a lot, who shop a lot, but don't buy much (and thus have a low M number)? Can email marketing contribute to fixing that? Again, yes. You know who the frequent shoppers are. You know who doesn't spend a lot. Pair up offerings that are slightly higher in value to go with their existing purchases and you'll slowly, over time, increase the value of that customer.
Let's say you know who bought an iPod recently. Let's say you also know who among that audience of iPod shoppers also bought a pair of running sneakers. It's logical to conclude that they might be using their iPod for fitness, in which case your next email should advertise a nice pair of wireless Bluetooth running headphones to them. Wireless sport headphones are more expensive than their wired counterparts, but if you have a strong possibility that the customer is using their existing purchases for fitness, then your email stands a greater chance of increasing the purchase of those headphones.
If you have the data, you can use email marketing to significantly increase the value of your customers while still providing them great value. The last caution with RFM analysis is that you can't leave it entirely to the machines. You'll get some great correlation data that will help make informed decisions, but you also need to do your own research. If you sell golf equipment, there's no data analysis program in the world that can substitute for you visiting the local driving range or country club and seeing what customers are using in the real world firsthand. Combine your data with your research, and you'll be well on the path to developing an email marketing program that delivers value for everyone.
As a side note, if you're currently using eCommerce software like Magento or other shopping carts, and you'd like to engage the services of WhatCounts and Windsor Circle to automate the processes I've outlined above (a huge timesaver), their software makes it very easy to do so. We recently helped a customer increase their email marketing ROI by 900 percent in just three months using our combined platforms. Contact WhatCounts today to see if we can do the same for you.

Czechs producers place hopes in German production-rebate model
With runaway productions finding better conditions further east, Czech producers are switching their hopes from tax rebates to German-style production rebates. Representatives of the Czech Audiovisual Producers Association (APA) revealed 2007 numbers to reporters at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Foreign producers spent $142.4m (CZK 2.1bn) in the Czech Republic in 2007, an increase of 56% over 2006. But local producers say the numbers hide ...

Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves
Review by Will Smith
"This game is <b>so</b> overrated.......don't believe the hype."
Garou: Mark of the Wolves was released in the arcades in November of 1999. It was supposed to be the continuation of the Garou Densetsu (Fatal Fury) series. It takes place right after the Real Bout series.
When I first heard about Garou:MOTW, I was somewhat interested, but overall I was pretty indifferent to it. It wasn't in any of the arcades in my area, so after a while I just forgot about it. Then when Agetec did a port of the game in September of 2001, an unbelievable amount of hype surrounded this game. From many sources (including the Fighting Games board of GameFAQs) I heard that Garou was equivalent to Capcom's Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, and in some cases better. And then Gamespot officially named it as Dreamcast's Top Fighting Game of 2001. With the public buzzing about this game, and the unbelievable amount of hype surrounding this it, I became very interested. I am also a HUGE fan of the original Garou Densetsu, so when the opportunity presented itself several months ago to buy this game at an unbelievably low price, I pounced on it immediately. Sadly, I was SEVERELY disappointed. I felt duped and I wanted my $15 back. I had such high expectations, and I was completely let down. To be brutally honest, this game is nowhere near the level of SFIII: 3rd Strike. It doesn't even compare to SFIII: 2nd Impact, Giant Attack. The best comparison would be SFIII: New Generation, and New Generation is still MUCH better than Garou. I wonder what the people at Gamespot were smoking to name this as the Top Fighting Game of 2001. For all intents and purposes, I will occasionally be comparing Garou:MOTW to SFIII: New Generation.
Graphics: 2 (Animation: 6)
Overall, the graphics are decent. The colors are muted and drab, but much brighter and vivid than the color scheme in SNK's KOF series. Overall, I was disappointed. Having owned and played 3rd Strike, I expected to be impressed after hearing all the hype about Garou:MOTW's impressive graphics. What a disappointment.......the characters and backgrounds are pixelated, low resolution blobs. Some backgrounds are better than others (Gato, Terry, Marco, Grant, and Freeman's stages really shine) but overall the total package is not impressive. Most of the backgrounds are actually reminiscent of the backgrounds in Capcom's original Final Fight from 1989 (Rock, Dong Hwan, and Hokutomaru are all Final Fight quality). I know it sounds harsh, but I'm being honest. I expected to be ovetaken by beautiful, sophisticated, and lively backgrounds, but all I got was.........this. The graphics are pretty sad, and it's even worse considering the fact that SNK produced better backgrounds and graphics back in their glory days in games like Samurai Spirits II and Garou Densetsu. SFIII is not in any peril of losing the graphic's crown.
The character sprites are also ridiculously small. Under the constraints of the incredibly weak and ancient MVS hardware, I guess that's what you can expect. In my opinion, it's like using the characters from a side scrolling beat-em-up like Final Fight or Bare Knuckle (Streets of Rage) in a 1on 1 Versus mode. I feel detached from the action because the character's are so miniscule.
The animation is pretty exceptional for an SNK game. The character's all move with a fluid grace that can't be seen any other SNK game to date. However, don't be fooled by the hype: the animation in Garou is in no way superior to SFIII. Overall, it's slightly smoother than the animation in Capcom VS SNK 2 but not as polished as in SFIII: New Generation. The fluid animation is the second best aspect of this game.
And no, I'm not going to give ''sympathy points'' and artificially inflate the score given for graphics simply because SNK is working with outdated 16 bit hardware. I don't care if they developed MOTW on the PC Engine console or the the friggin' 8 bit Nintendo Entertainment System; when a game has this much hype revolving around it (and the title of Fighting Game of the Year bestowed upon it), you expect more than squat, dull, pixelated, low resolution characters. Other than the fluid animation, the graphics fall WAY below the mark (of the wolves).
Sound Effects and Music: 2
The music is mediocre. Kevin Rian's theme is the most annoying in the game IMO. I can't stand it. Everything else is ranges from mediocre to trash, and most of it is forgettable and sounds like it came from the early '90's. Whatever happened to the wonderful orchestral pieces from SNK's early days? SNK has totally fallen off.
The sound effects are on point, although they don't deliver the impact that you would expect. It's the generic punch and kick samples that you've heard at least a million other times in a million other fighting games. The voice acting is alright, although I find it is ludicrous that SNK is so incompetent that they cannot find a person that can speak decent English. Terry sounds like a joke. You can almost imagine the Japanese seiyuu sweating and struggling to spit forth the phrases ''Oh Kaay!'', ''Stauhnd Op'' (Stand Up), ''Sawr-Eee'' (Sorry), ''Bustah Warf'' (Buster Wolf, allegedly), etc. Kevin Rian is American and does not utter ONE word in English; it's all done in fluent Japanese. Bonne Jenet is supposedly French, but it seems like she took Advanced Japanese classes with Kevin. Kain is supposed to be German, but guess what? He also attended school with Kevin and B.Jenet, and speaks Japanese like it's his native language. A note to SNK: Next time try putting some effort into the voice acting: it will actually give the characters more of an exotic appeal if they speak their native language, rather than the pathetic Engrish and standard Japanese that you've been dishing out for years. Oh yeah, Hokutomaru's voice is pure TORTURE. Absolutely annoying. Be sure to hit the Mute button when you see him on screen, or else suffer through the audio torture session.
The announcer, is really, REALLY boring. It sounds like he would rather be somplace else. Heck, if he's not even enthusiastic about this game, why should I be?
Gameplay: 2
Oh boy.........where do I begin.......
It seems like SNK is back to their old hijinx of shamelessly ripping off of Capcom. MOTW's ''Just Defense'' system is a blatant rip off of Street Fighter III's Parry system. But guess what? SNK used their little brains, and in an attempt to be original, changed the motion to tapping backwards (rather than forwards in SFIII) at the last possible moment to ''Just Defend'' an attack. You will take no damage and recover a sliver of life. Let's face it: Just Defense is basically is a poor man's Parry. At least in SFIII there was some risk involved in Parrying since you leave yourself open to punishment by tapping forward. In MOTW this is not the case and actually feels quite lame, as there is no risk involved (if there is it's VERY minimal) and Just Defense is so easy you'll find yourself performing it successfully without even noticing it. Parrying was a very dominant aspect of SFIII: New Generation, and Just Defense is a very dominant aspect of MOTW. Basically, whoever has the best Just Defense skills rules the game. And if you and your opponent have Mad ''Just Defense'' Skillz, it will be a long and boring match. Implementing a bootleg Parry is the furthest thing from innovation, and it just shows how lazy SNK is. It's quite pathetic. Finally, I wonder how long it took the designers to think of a dumb name like ''Just Defense''. Implementing a bootleg Parry is the furthest thing from innovation, and it just shows how lazy SNK is.
SNK programmer #1: ''I like the idea of Parrying, but we can't call it that or else everyone will think we're stealing from SFIII''.
SNK programmer #2: ''Hmmmm........dude, I got it! Why don't we call it Just Defense, as in, Dude, I totally just defended Terry's Power Wave at the last minute!!''
SNK programmer 1 and 2 in unison: ''GNARLY!!!!''
Feint moves have been revamped in MOTW. Sadly, it looks awkward to use this feature in a 2D game and would be more appropriate in a 3D game engine. But hey, it works.
Guard Canceling is nothing more than attacking during a Parry......er, ''Just Defense''. Big whoop, I'm not impressed.
Break moves are basically interrupting a specific special move and following with another special or a Super. This actually gives depth to the game and is a nifty feature that is overlooked.
The T.O.P. (Tactical Offensive Position) is a silly little gimmick that SNK cooked to differentiate itself from SFIII. Basically, your offensive power increases, you gain a T.O.P. move, and you regain some life while idle. This is really ridiculous and almost pointless, as the most logical placement for the T.O.P. meter is in the beginning of your life gauge. There is not one person that I have spoken to that thinks there are advantages to placing their T.O.P. in the last 1/3 of their life gauge. If your opponent has beat you so bad that all you have is a 1/3 of your life remaining, I'm sorry to tell you that gaining that slight boost in offensive power and gaining a near worthless move is not going to turn the tide in your favor.
Damage control hardly exists in this game. The damage that normal, special, and super moves inflict in this game is horrible. It's almost like MOTW is a throwback to fighting games of the early '90's like Street Fighter II': Turbo where simple combos kill you easily. Every move inflicts ridiculous amounts of damage, and you can easily kill an opponent in just 2-4 combos without even using a Super once (it's even worse when your T.O.P. is activated). Needless to say, this makes the matches VERY short. Super moves inflict about 30%, and Potential Powers inflict 50-60% damage. This is really flawed, and the folks at SNK really dropped the ball.
Every character has a minimum of two supers, although some have 3. SNK once again rips a page out of Capcom's notebook and made the Supers a double quarter circle forward motion plus a punch or kick........just like in SFIII: New Generation. SNK tried to be slick and separated the Supers into Super Powers and Potential Powers (which is just a really fancy name for a Level 3 MAX super). This is basically a fraud and really is, in layman's terms, Level 1 and Level 3 super moves. In various strategy guides and movelists for Garou, character's supers are split up into two sections, for Super and Potential Powers, respectively. To the unobservant player, it will appear that each character has 4 super moves upon first glance. Some Super moves get different aesthetic name changes when they reach PP, but don't be fooled: all you really get is 2 supers of different strengths. At least in SFIII: NG you had a minimum of 3 Super Arts for EVERY character.
As for character balance, it is non-existent. You have overpowered, insanely cheap characters like Kevin Rian, Freeman, Marco Rodriguez, Terry Bogard (of course), and Kim Jae Hoon dominating the game. These characters can crush just about anyone else and possess enormous advantages in their favor. It's just like how Street Fighter III: New Generation was unbalanced due to overpowered characters like Ryu, Ken, Dudley, Ibuki, and Sean . Does SNK bother with testing the games anymore? I am really dumbfounded at how this game can be voted Fighting Game of the Year and receive so much praise with such glaring flaws.
Control: 10
The best aspect of the game. The controls are perfect. The characters are responsive and the special and Super moves are a breeze. Absolutely flawless.
Presentation: 1
The presentation for MOTW is subpar. The character select screen is extremely generic. The intro is bleh, as it sums up the premise with some cinemas of Geese's death, Terry raising and training Rock, etc. It could have been done a lot better.
The character illustrations within the game are UGLY. The characters have no detail in their faces, and all seem to be caricatures. For example, in one of the pictures, Terry doesn't have a nose, Kevin Rian is basically a set of teeth, Hokutomaru is a grinning turd, and Griffon (Tizoc) could be confused for decapitated chicken. They are pretty bad, but not the worst I have seen. SNK has really lost their touch.
The character design is totally uneven. On one side you have badass, cool, awe inspiring designs like Rock Howard, Terry Bogard, Gato, Grant, Jae Hoon, and Griffon. Marco Rodriguez, Freeman, and Kain fall somewhere in the middle. And on the complete opposite end of the spectrum you have ass clowns like Dong Hwan, Hokutomaru, Hotaru, B. Jenet, and Kevin Rian. It's hard playing a game when you feel amped using a cool character like Rock, and your enthusiasm plunges when your next opponent is buffoon like........Hokutomaru. Or Dong Hwang. SNK seemed really confused about the direction that they wanted with this game. This game suffers from a 'KOF influence', with too many joke characters and slapstick intros. Some people may like it, but I don't. I love the original Garou mainly because of the dark and foreboding atmosphere and characters. The closest thing to a joke character in the original Garou was Duck King, but even though his name was stupid, he was more of a sociopath and he could still kick your ass. Every character in that game was a mean mo'fo. Now you have people like B.Jenet (no doubt Mai Shiranui's successor as the token T&A chick), Dong Hwang (he makes Dan Hibiki look good), Hokutomaru (a complete insult to my favorite character of the Garou series, Andy Bogard! You mean to tell me this crack smoking chimp is Andy Bogard's successor in this game? They actually removed Andy to make room for this gimp? Screw SNK!), and Hotaru ( generic kawaii anime girl. *yawn*). People that would look totally out of place in the original Garou or any other Garou game from the early '90s. Removing a classic like Joe Higashi for an ape like Dong Hwang is unacceptable. Kain looks like a KOF reject. He's the generic, sissy bishounen endboss that you would expect from SNK. Geese Howard is probably turning in his grave. Geese was a REAL boss. Kain looks so frail and fruity; he should have his endboss licenses revoked. *end of rant*
If this is Garou's future, I want to stay in the past, thank you very much.
In more than one instance, SNK ripped off of SFIII: New Generation's cast tit for tat (SFIII dumps all other popular characters except for Ryu and Ken / MOTW dumps everyone else except for Terry -- SFIII has young agile free spirited ninja (Ibuki) / MOTW has young, agile free spirited ninja (Hokutomaru) -- SFIII has twins with contrasting personalities (Yun and Yang) / MOTW has twins with contrasting personalities (Dong Hwang and Jae Hoon) -- SFIII has a Brazilian martial artist emulating a renowned martial artist's style (Sean emulating Ken) / MOTW has a Brazilan martial artist emulating a renowned martial artist's style (Marco emulating Ryo). This is very lazy and quite pathetic on SNK's part. I wonder what work, if any, was actually done by SNK since 99% of their resources were from Street Fighter III.
(Note: I used to think Marco Rodriguez was cool, until the twerps at SNK changed his name to Kushnood Butt and made him say a line about his favorite food being fried chicken. I'm sure the geeks doing the translation at SNK thought they were unbelievably *witty* and hilarious. They should do stand up comedy. Really. It gives you a warm fuzzy feeling when the only black character is chosen for an absurd and humilating name change. To add insult to injury, they make him a stereotype by saying he likes fried chicken. Ha. *sarcasm*)
(Another note to SNK: not every white person has blonde hair and blue eyes. There are actually some with brown hair and *gasp* brown eyes. Between Terry, Rock, Kevin, B.Jenet, and Kain, you get 5 blonde bombshells. Talk about variety. Go out once in a while, people.)
Replay Value: 1
With the small character cast, unbalanced gameplay, and poor damage control, I find it really hard to find a compelling reason to play this repeatedly. Versus matches are not ideal and are either incredibly short or incredibly long, depending on you and your opponent's ''Just Defense'' skills. If you are a KOF fanatic, Garou die hard, or a flat out SNK fanboy/girl, add 9 points to the Replay Value score.
Overall: 1
When a game has this much hype surrounding it, you expect it to be good. When it is named Fighting Game of the Year for Dreamcast by Gamespot, you expect even more. I am at a loss for words.This game is not that good. With so many obvious flaws in this title, I don't know how anybody, except for a mental patient or die hard SNK fan, can act like this game is perfection. If there is anything positive about this game, it's only because Capcom paved the way for SNK with SFIII. SNK had TWO WHOLE YEARS to analyze SFIII, to learn what works and what doesn't. If they are going to shamelessly rip off, at least analyze Capcom's mistakes and make sure you avoid them. SNK completely missed the point, and as a result made game that's even more flawed than SFIII: New Generation. I simply cannot believe this is from the same company that has released classics such as Garou Densetsu, Samurai Spirits, and the crown jewel in SNK's repertoire (and a superb fighting game overall), the epic and legendary Samurai Spirits II. The original Garou Densetsu back in 1991 had 1000 times more innovation and originality than this shoddy game released in 1999.This game is quite a disappointment. Out of the 15 current reviews for this game, 5 reviewers gave this game a perfect 10/10, 5 people gave it a 9/10, and the remaining 5 gave it scores of 8 and below. I seriously cannot fathom how any can give this game a rating of higher than a 7. Either those 10 positive reviews were influenced by: A.) reefer B.) massive consumption of alcohol C.) Gamespot's biased bootleg Top Fighting Game of 2001 award or D.) they must be Terry Bogard fanboys. There is no other logical answer.
Take SFIII, eliminate the whole cast, throw in Terry Bogard and an entire cast of lame characters, reverse the Parrying motion, make the graphics and sound real crappy, make sure the gameplay blows, and what do you have? Mark of the Wolves.
Another thing that bothers me is how everyone ripped apart and critically panned Street Fighter III: NG when it was first released for various reasons, including gameplay and character design. SNK makes a game that is blatantly inferior to SFIII, yet everyone jumps on the bandwagon and praises it as being the best darn 2D fighter ever. WTF? Hypocrites........anyway, remember the immortal words of the rap group Public Enemy: DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!
(If you're going to play an SNK fighter, make sure it predates 1996, as anything after that year has been trash)

Tampa will be without Vincent Lecavalier (hand) indefinitely after he was injured last Saturday... All the wheeling and dealing Tampa GM Steve Yzerman has made in the last little while now means the club has two first-round picks and as many as four selections in the second... Even with the roster shuffle, Tampa is 5-3-2 in its last 10 and at 27-26-6 are just five points back of the Jets with three games in hand... Tampa's goaltending duo of Mathieu Garon and Dwayne Roloson ranks dead last in goals against average (3.24) and save percentage (.892).

Obviously the best case scenario would be success. It would allow us to purchase our licenses and access software early in development, hire industry experienced staff to round out our team, empower us to not only achieve our vision, but make our game the best and fullest it can be. That said, we know we are under dogs; an unproven studio, minimal industry experience, and the game is early in development. We're asking you to toss your lot in on a veritable long shot, and we can appreciate the concerns this can raise for potential backers.
This game is our dream and we're tossing our lot in too, so if Kickstarter fails, we are committed to continuing development using personal funds and private investors to keep the project afloat and moving forward in the short term. There's no way to finish our game in its entirety without additional funding so after further development, we would reattempt raising a project budget with a new Kickstarter campaign. We'll need your help to reach the end goal and we'll keep working until we earn your trust.
Railboy wrote:I look at Unwritten in the same way I look at a lot of low-budget by-the-book horror movies. A by-the-book horror movie's job is to check off items on a list. Young cast, stupid characters, scary-looking villain, some good gore effects, a fun conclusion. That's all they aspire to and if you check off those items then it's a success by its own standards.
A lot of people equate this kind of thing with soullessness or creative bankruptcy but I don't see it that way at all. It's like a carpentry shop that really likes making one kind of cabinet and they just make one right after another. These cabinets aren't flashy, they're not daring or new, but they're sturdy as hell and everyone involved can take pride in that fact. Not every piece of furniture has to stir your soul or whatever, sometimes it can just be sturdy and do its job well.
I get a strong 'C'mon team, let's assemble a game' vibe from the whole project. I can practically see the marks getting checked off. Asian pandas, check. I have no idea if that attitude will translate into a finished game or something I'd want to play, but I respect it more than an overblown 'We're here to REVOLUTIONIZE the entire genre with blah blah blah' attitude.
This whole post sounds condescending as fuck towards the Unwritten devs but whatever. I really do respect low-budget horror directors as much as any art-oriented director even if it's for different reasons. And if these guys pull it off I'll give them props even if it's a by-the-book result.
Also I saw that the devs are ditching the Havok engine and going with Unreal 4. That makes me way less nervous about their chances.
Railboy wrote:Hmm, is it possible that you give FRONTIERS more credit than I would for being original? On the whole I consider it a pretty derivative riff on an established tune.
I wonder if part of that might be due to you being immersed in the story, which is pretty weird / unique by modern game standards, while I'm immersed in the gameplay, which is composed of elements we've mostly seen before. (Just in a new combination.)
I bring this up because where you feel comfortable saying KS isn't really appropriate for Unwritten, I see that same argument taking a bite out of FRONTIERS' place on KS. A small bite maybe, but enough to make me feel vaguely hypocritical.
I'd feel differently if their team was bigger, like a AAA team. Not that the project would ever happen under those circumstances. But if two near-identical Unwritten-style games were made, one by an indie team of 20 and another by a AAA team of 150, I'd give the 20-team game a chance sooner than the 150-team game, just like I'd prefer a nice cabinet made by a few people vs. an identical cabinet assembled by a factory. You can make the argument that it shouldn't matter where content comes from, but in cases where I do know it has an effect on my opinion whether it should or not.

Class description
Werner Herzog and Documentary Cinema This course explores the terrain of documentary cinema through the films of Werner Herzog from 1970 to the present. What defines documentary as both distinct from and related to fiction? How do Herzog and his films relate, historically, to the idea and the practice of documentary filmmaking? Each week we will view and discuss one of Herzog's films (including Land of Silence and Darkness, The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner, Lessons of Darkness, Bells from the Deep, Little Dieter Needs to Fly, My Best Fiend, and Grizzly Man) along with one documentary made by another filmmaker (such as Luis Buñuel, Jonathan Caouette, Robert Flaherty, Robert Gardner, Kazuo Hara, Errol Morris, Ulrich Seidl), asking what the various combinations tell us both about Herzog and about documentary cinema more generally.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Chazz is good with children, other dogs and cats. He loves to play tug-a-war.
Chazz has a 'funny' eye; it's smaller than the other one and he can see shadows with it but that is not a problem according to the Vet. He is up to date with all his vaccinations and is neutered and ready for his forever home.
Chazz, a Eagle Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pug for sale in Eagle, or seeking a Pug dog from a breeder in Eagle.

HOUSTON - A masked man burglarized a north Houston Family Dollar store and managed to escape with several items on Thursday.
According to police, the suspect broke through the front door glass of a store on Crosstimbers Street near Oxford Street around 3 a.m.
Police said he went inside, grabbed a basket, and walked up and down the aisles collecting different items.
It's still not clear exactly what the burglar got away with, but police said there is surveillance video of the crime, which may help them identify the crook.

Home > Community > Health Library > Hair Loss Caused by Lack of Protein
Hair loss may occasionally be caused by lack of protein in the diet.
Some people who go on crash diets that exclude protein or who have abnormal
eating habits may develop protein malnutrition. When this happens, the body
will help save protein by shifting growing hairs into the resting phase.
Increased hair shedding can occur 2 to 3 months later.
This condition can be reversed and prevented by eating the proper
amount of protein and, when dieting, maintaining adequate protein intake. For
adults, this means 2 to 3 servings of protein a day. Protein is found in meat,
chicken, fish, eggs, some cheeses, dried beans, tofu, grains, and nuts.

Washington, June 19 (ANI): The US House of Representatives has approved a legislation to ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
While the measure is unlikely to become law, it faces opposition in the Senate and a White House veto threat.
According to the Washington Post, the vote, 228 to 196, was mostly along party lines, with just six Republicans voting with Democrats against it and six Democrats voting with Republicans in its favor.
The bill, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, was authored by Republican Trent Franks, and aims to capitalize on the public outrage surrounding Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortion doctor who was convicted last month of first-degree murder in the case of three babies born alive in his clinic.
The vote on Tuesday marks the first time Congress has voted to redefine the point where a fetus becomes viable.
According to the report, the vote comes as anti-abortion legislation has gained traction on the state level, buoyed by Republican gains in both legislatures and governships.
This year 14 states, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Utah, have enacted 32 measures imposing new restrictions on abortions, the report added. (ANI)

WANDERERS have got more company in the race to sign Lukas Jutkiewicz – with Wolves now registering their interest in the Middlesbrough striker.
Blackburn Rovers are already known to have the 25-year-old front man on their list of summer targets, but news Kenny Jackett's newly-promoted side are in the market is bound to cause concern.
Recruiting fans-favourite Jutkiewicz is top of Dougie Freedman's list of priorities but with Boro demanding at least £1million – and hoping to drive the price higher – he has not yet been able to fund a bid.
Wolves have money to spend and are also chasing Sheffield United's highly-rated defender Harry Maguire, valued at around £2m, and are one of the clubs mentioned in the £3m bidding war for Coventry City's Callum Wilson.
Jackett wants more options up front, and currently lacks physical presence in his ranks.
Leon Clarke has failed to impress since he moved from Coventry in January, finding the net just once in 13 games.
Boro want to sell to raise cash for Spanish boss Aitor Karanka to remodel his squad, with sources on Teesside suggesting there is no way back for Jutkiewicz into the first team at the Riverside. Wanderers have made no secret of their desire to bring him back after the former Everton man proved so pivotal in the side's transformation in the latter stages of last season.
"I am still looking and everyone knows we are interested in Lukas Jutkiewicz after how well he did for us last season. We have to wait and see if that happens," the manager told The Bolton News a fortnight ago.
Jutkiewicz finished with seven goals from 21 appearances and added a different dimension to Freedman's side after his arrival on loan in January.
Meanwhile, reports in Huddersfield suggest the club are broadening their search for midfielders after growing frustrated in their pursuit of out-of-favour Wanderers star Keith Andrews.
The Irishman has resigned himself to leaving Bolton, either on loan or permanently, but has yet to make a firm decision on his future.

1989 jeep engine swap
im in a bit of a predicament. I bought my jeep from a friend, and they said ited been sitting for two years so i took the engine out and the wiring harness.
I found a guy that has a 1999 2.5 four cylinder and i got the engine harness, but i need to know how and if i can make the engine wiring harness compatible to the cab harness
Get yourself a 92 - 95 harness. It will hook up to the engine no prob and will be much more easy to adapt the the cab harness.
problem is im in a bit of a budget. know any websites that could offer some cheap prices on one ?
since ive got the current harness in good condition which is an 89, but the 99 is cut at a certain spot all the way through the wires. how can i mate the two instead of buy anything costly. the 99 harness has two connections to the computer and i can get the third from its original vehicle.
Google the wiring diagrams
i got the diagrams in the haynes manual
Break down and by the harness off EBAY.. you will be miles ahead. Time and money are the same thing and you about to piss a bunch of both away. For waht, nothing that a 100 bill can take care of in a matter of minutes.

WASHINGTON - Federal officials are recalling coffee presses sold exclusively at Starbucks over safety concerns.
The recall affects about 28,000 Bodum® Chambord locking lid 8-cup glass coffee presses. They were sold in Starbucks stores and online from November 2013 through December 2013 for about $40.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Bodum has received about 14 reports of the glass carafes breaking or shattering when the coffee press' plastic base separated from the metal frame. There were four reports of minor injuries, including two lacerations and two burns.
Consumers with a recalled coffee press should return it to the Starbucks store where it was purchased or contact Bodum for a full refund at 1-855-378-6864 or online.
Consumers who purchased the coffee presses online should contact Bodum for a pre-paid return label to return the coffee presses to receive a full refund.

The work completed by Residential Services Sanitarians decreases the chance for disease transmission through our water supply, from vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks, and from animal bites. We provide services in many areas. These include, but are not limited to:
- Inspecting new and existing sewage treatment systems to ensure effective operation and reduction of disease causing bacteria and viruses in the wastewater.
- Investigating animal bite reports and collecting specimens for laboratory analysis to protect citizens from rabies.
- Providing educational materials on the avoidance of disease causing vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks.
- Answering citizen inquiries related to mold and radon in the indoor environment and providing a link to services.
- Addressing emerging issues such as bed bug awareness and education.
The culmination of these efforts results in a healthier home environment. Unit staff are dedicated to educating, promoting, and using enforcement if necessary to provide the best environment for residents to enjoy their time away from work or school. The past century has provided great advancements in properly treating home sewage, providing safe drinking water, and protecting the public from vector borne disease transmission.
We are dedicated to staying current with the most up to date information and serving our community to the best of our abilities. Call a Residential Services Sanitarian at 740-368-1700 should you have questions about environmental hazards in or around your home or apartment. Our staff welcomes the opportunity to answer questions and address concerns.
Field Sanitarian Coverage Areas
The safety of the public and our staff is a priority for the Health District. To aid in identification, our Environmental Health inspection staff carry two forms of identification; a photo identification card and a metal badge. We encourage, and our inspecting staff welcome, the public to ask to see both forms of identification to prevent unauthorized access to a building, business, or home. No Health District personnel will ever treat an operator, business owner, or homeowner differently for asking for identification. Should someone arrive at your location and not be able to produce both forms of identification, please turn them away and call our office immediately.

The 10 Most Ridiculous Items On Kim Kardashian's Wedding Registry
I wasn't sure at first why Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries were inspired torush to the altar. Now I know. The expensive gifts! I took a gander at Kim and Kris' Gearys Beverly Hills registry and found that, for the same cost as the items with which they wish to grace their home, they could feed an entire third world country. Recession? What recession? [Celebitchy]

I almost got all neggo on you this week. First I saw a picture of Rachel Zoe glammed up in one of her signature daywear maxi sundresses, with a big floppy hat, flatforms and TV-screen shades - with the added accessory of a great big drink carton. About a pint of cranberry juice with a straw in it, like an oversize sippy cup.
Instantly, the looming figure of Sister Mary Mark strode into my brain, reminding me that it was against the rules to be seen in the street eating or drinking while wearing the uniform of St Dominic's Priory School.
She was so right. Ms Zoe looked like a demented toddler with her big dwink.
But then I thought, nah - beyond the sippy cup, there was nothing else interesting to say about Rachel's rig-out. She always wears versions of the same thing and it looks great for the Malibu Beach life she lives. That's it.
Next up, trawling through my archive of pics saved for possible future use, I found two of lady celebrities - actor Busy Philipps (Cougar Town) and American TV presenter (i.e. former model) Jenn Brown - with a striking common feature.
Both are posing at red-carpet events - gussied up in statement frocks - and both have at least an inch of black roots in the partings of their blow-dried blonde hairdos.
I couldn't Adam and Eve it. If your job is to look glamorous - and checking Ms Brown on Google, I see she's more than happy to throw on a bikini and strike an unnatural stance for the camera - isn't getting your dye job updated fairly fundamental stuff?
I confess, I'm not the greatest one for the rigorous grooming upkeep myself.
Shellac pedicures, which grow out before they even start to chip off, are the best thing to happen to me since, well, the Big Hair rotating brush home blow-dryer.
Sitting in a salon getting primped makes me feel guilty that I'm not doing proper work - but if looking good is your work, surely it would be at the top of your to-do list to get the roots done before a big event?
So there was all that stuff to criticise and carp about, but then I came across this picture of Olivia Palermo and just sighed. Such perfection, such easy elegance, such effortless-looking glamour, and it all reminded me why I prefer to stay on the positive side as much as possible.
I can't even tell if it's a dress or a long skirt with a jumper that features the same print on the trim.
I don't really understand what's going on with that inny-outy belt. I don't care, though. None of it matters: the overall effect is so serene.
The oversize bag worn cross body (is it Chanel? The chain strap looks it, but I can't see the clasp well enough) stops the ensemble from looking too floaty-beachside. As do the ballerina pumps.
Then she finishes it off with the most classic black sunnies and a nice chunky gold bracelet for a little accent. Perfection.
I even love the bog-standard white plastic shopping bag, which suggests she's just been into some cack-ordinary pharmacy for some dreary necessity.
The same outfit would have been wrecked by a fistful of designer carrier bags - the kind of thing that recently tempted me to write a very negative Rule about Tamara Ecclestone. So vulgar.
So, Ms Palermo, you have made my life a little bit sweeter just by nipping to the shop. Thank-you.

Host Family
The Bridgeport Bluefish are looking for host families for the 2017 season. Host families are asked to take a player in for a season to give them a much needed place of rest while not on the road. The player's needs include their own bedroom and access to a bathroom, kitchen, and washer/dryer.
Hosting a player for a season has many benefits to a family. It is a valuable way to provide a player with a home while keeping them involved in the community they now live in. For taking part in this program, the Bluefish offer their host families the opportunity to attend every home game of the 2017 season.
"Becoming a host family is a great way for fans to connect with the Bluefish," said General Manager Jamie Toole. "It also allows the members of the team to truly respect the city they play for with a place to call home for a season."
Please feel free to contact Paul Herrmann at 203-416-1715 or email@example.com if you have further questions. All of us associated with the Bridgeport Bluefish thank you for opening you home to the Bluefish players.

For members of the Medieval Reenactment Society, it doesn't get much better than a weekly foot tournament in Peace Park.
The group, whose membership is restricted to MU students, is partnered with The Shire of Standing Stones, which is composed of Columbia residents. Both organizations are associated with the Society for Creative Anachronism.
The groups meet several times a week for a variety of activities, including business meetings, period shooting at an archery range and an arts and science night.
Medieval Reenactment Society President Calvin Patten, who is a student at MU's College of Veterinary Medicine, said Monday meetings are often educational. Patten has been a member of the SCA for six years and joined the group while studying at Iowa State University.
"I just always really liked the medieval period," he said. "I saw guys up at Iowa swinging away at each other. That looked cool."
Wednesday afternoon's foot tournament in Peace Park featured members fighting while dressed in medieval battle gear from the time period.
"What we re-enact is what would be considered a 13th century foot tournament," Patten said. "Aside from the jousting, they did just do fighting tournaments where they started off on the ground."
Katherine Corey, minister of arts and sciences for The Shire of Standing Stones said the group has a specific mission.
"It's a society of hobbyists dedicated to re-creation of European history between 600 and 1600," Corey said.
She said though a member typically maintains one character role while in the society, members are serious about maintaining historical accuracy.
Corey said she became a member after learning about the program through her job.
"I used to teach in a gifted enrichment program, junior high level, and we did a renaissance festival for the school, and some of the people from the SCA group and the community came and put on a demo for us," she said. "Of course, the junior high kids just ate it up, but I got totally hooked. I started going to their meetings, and I never looked back."

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Hi Colleen. I am so sorry to hear about your guy. He is having a very difficult time but I am very proud of how you are handling this situation. The addition of Milk thistle and the S-Adenosylmethionine is a very good thing for your guy with such a bad liver disease. The dosage of silymarin is 200 mg per 10pounds so for your guy, 600 mg divided twice daily is a good dose. The rule of thumb is a percentage of the human dose such as 30% for a 30 lb dog such as yours. The container of supplement containing the silymarin will have the mg per dose of this product and you can figure it out from there.
From all my reading, there really is no way to overdose on milk thistle. the body will excrete what it does not use.
Good Luck with your guy!!!
Dr. LorettaClick REPLY if you need more info.Click ACCEPT if I have answered your question.
Thank you so much for your question! This cannot replace an exam by a veterinarian.Feedback and Bonuses are encouraged.
HI again, Colleen. The prednisone is a part of a chemotherapeutic regimen and Mikey needs to have this. If the dose is low(5-10mg), there is no harm. THis is a very low dose(a therapeutic dose is 1 mg per pound), and there are no lther alternatives for the effect that we need, unfortunately. Even if you give 5-10 mg every day, there is no harm to his alreday compromised system. A higher dose will be hard on his liver but, sometimes, you have to compromise for the best quality of life for Mikey.
Does that help, Colleen?

Above, that's not a sand trap behind Don Gertz of Ironwood, it's snow. But people were golfing, at least on nine holes, at Eagle Bluff Golf Club in Hurley on a sunny but cool Friday. Course superintendent Jeff Tenlen said the course was opened on a limited basis because so many golfers "had the itch" to get the golf season going. He said he and his crew were still snowblowing all 18 greens on Monday and Tuesday and there was still snow on some of the fairways and greens. Last year, Tenlen said, golfers were out on the course with carts on April 1 and were walking on the course two weeks before that. No carts are allowed on the course just yet.

Kindle Deal of the Day: 10 Things Every Minister Needs To Know by Ronnie Floyd. $2.99.
Have you suddenly realized the fire that burned in your spirit years ago for ministry has waned? Are you a pastor feeling overwhelmed by the demands on your time, energy, and spirituality? Ronnie Floyd can relate – yet with 30 years of pastoral ministry, he is still passionately committed to God's calling in his life. What has sustained his passion for ministry? In this book, he will share the very best perspective, encouragement, and solutions for all ministers.
It almost goes without saying that for Christians, while rape is a terrible thing, in the providence of God, this too can be redeemed, a tragic event from which love can emerge. And yet we live in a society in which many find this view intolerable, outside the bounds—anathema. This is a delicate conversation we're a part of in America, one that requires us to eschew the cheap advice or platitudes of Job's counselors, to be sure. Then again, it may be even more "disrespectful to the survivors of rape" to fail to tell them about the wondrous redeeming power of God, even in the most horrible circumstances.
Scientific research can be pro-life, and the newest Nobel Prize recipient has proved it.
Well, consider this a shout from the housetops: Saletan is right when he says that Yamanaka deserves an additional Nobel in ethics for tearing "down the wall between preserving embryos and saving lives."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer on True Leadership:
The individual is responsible before God. And this solitude of man's position before God, this subjection to an ultimate authority, is destroyed when the authority of the Leader or of the office is seen as ultimate authority…Alone before God, man becomes what he is, free and committed to responsibility at the same time.
When We Add Stuff to the Bible, We Hurt People:
We often add lists, rules, and ideas to the Bible that just aren't there. This is a very subtle, yet dangerous thing to do, in my view. And I think it hurts the people we pastors are called to serve.

French infanticide perpetrator, she admitted killing three of her children. Their corpes were found in a freezer. Her trial began in June 2009 in Tours, France. The much-publicized tragedy caught the public attention in the summer of 2006. She, her husband Jean-Louis and their two young children were living in Seoul, Korea where his job had taken him. She and the children (10 and 11 years old) had returned to France for a vacation when his husband notified Korean authorities that he had found two tiny corpses in their freezer. The date was July 23, 2006. The husband was allowed to leave Korea and rejoin his family in France but the French authorities proved by DNA that the infants were theirs. She subsequently admitted killing a son in 2002 and another in 2003. She evidently was able to hide her pregnancies and no one was the wiser until the bodies were discovered. When she confessed to the two murders, she claimed that she had also killed a third infant in 1999 and had incinerated the body. Her husband was not found to be involved. She was convicted on June 18, 2009 and sentenced to eight years in prison.

Filing statement by Ben Montzka
I look forward to serving another term as county commissioner from Stacy and Wyoming. I was elected in 1998, ran unopposed in 2002, re-elected in 2006, and ran unopposed in 2010 – making me the senior member on the board.
I plan to continue as the experienced voice for our district. I grew up in Wyoming Township and practice law in Wyoming. My wife, Emily, and our three children have a hobby farm on the south edge of Stacy. We are active in our church, where I am the choir director, as well as volunteering for music in several area churches. Besides my law degree, I hold bachelor's degrees in music education and piano performance and was a music teacher at the Music Connection in Forest Lake. While in office I completed a master's degree in public affairs from the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs.
TAXES, SPENDING AND FISCAL MANAGEMENT: In 2009, while I was chair, the county board passed a zero percent tax increase for 2010. That is the first time in anyone's remembrance that the county tax levy did not increase. Since then, the board has been stalwart in not raising the county tax levy. By working together with the board and departments heads, we have been able to accomplish this without any appreciable decrease in county services to residents.
As an indication of the fiscal responsibility that Chisago County has accomplished during these tough years, we have been assigned an Aa2 bond rating by Moody's Investors Service, a national company that analyzes the credit standing of government entities. That is the highest credit rating that a county of our size can attain. The Moody's report on Chisago County stated, in part: "Strong financial operations characterized by healthy reserves. We believe that the county's financial operations will likely remain strong based on a history of prudent budgeting and maintenance of healthy reserve levels."
TRANSPORTATION: My tenure has seen improvements completed on County 22 and 23, the Viking/I-35 interchange, County 30 and Highway 61, County 84, Kettle River Boulevard and County 23/Highway 8 intersection. I represent our area on the Rush Line Task Force and the Area Transportation Partnership, where I lobbied for and received approval for millions of dollars to complete various local road projects.
LIBRARIES: I have been applauded for my leadership that advanced better libraries for our county, including the Miles Giese Memorial Library in Wyoming. Now, a number of years later, these libraries are seeing greater use than ever before and have become hubs for education and culture in our community.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT: I support commercial and industrial development that provides measurable benefits for our community. I will continue to push for environmental protections as our county explores additional commercial growth.
I can be contacted at 651-462-4200 or [email protected] My website is www.benmontzka.com.

It's no secret that we are into butterflies around here. We found a great book called Butterfly Count at the library. It's the story of a little girl whose grandmother donates her farm to help restore prairie habitats for butterflies. Each year they hold a butterfly count to see which butterflies are returning to the area.
Since planting a butterfly garden earlier this spring (and raising some painted ladies), Juliet has been obsessed with butterflies. As the garden has grown, we have identified several kinds in our backyard. We even saw two on this page--the Red Admiral and Black Swallowtail.
In the book, the little girl is searching for a Regal Fritillary--her grandmother's favorite butterfly and one that has become very rare--due to loss of habitat. In the end, she finds one.
For fun, I picked up some wooden butterfly shapes and let the girls paint them one afternoon in the backyard. Then I stamped their names on each and hot glued them to a scrap of ribbon.
We hung them on their bedroom door as a personalized name plaque. They are quite pleased with their art. :)
You could do the same with any shape--dinosaurs, elephants, hearts, etc.
