PC stands fourth with nine titles
With its ninth Tri-County Conference Tournament championship, Putnam County now stands fourth overall in the 87-year rich history of the event that dates back to 1927,
PC passed up Roanoke-Benson, which has won it eight times. The only schools with more TCC titles than PC are Toluca (16), Wenona (12) and Henry (11). Only Henry remains today, the other two schools lost to consolidation.
Granville Hopkins School, which merged with Hennepin and Magnolia Sweeney to form PCHS in 1966, won six straight TCC titles from 1933-38 and claimed a seventh in 1941.

This is another offering in our impressive lineup of wines produced from the first vintage of the 21st century. This vintage turned out to be very good for Chardonnay and presented us with a harvest of exceptional quality, very much like 1997. The enticing aroma displays a subtle combination of varietal fruit and oak followed by a cornucopia of delicate tropical fruit flavors such as pineapple, mango, and lemon. As always, malolactic fermentation was avoided in order to reserve the acidity and fruit and to ensure a perfect marriage of food and wine. Try this one with a plate of cold oysters, a Crab Louis salad, or your favorite summer grilled dishes.
Mike Grgich first gained international recognition at the celebrated Paris Tasting of 1976 in which a panel of eminent French judges swirled, sniffed, and sipped an array of the fabled white Burgundies of France and a small sampling of upstart Chardonnays from the Napa Valley. When the results where in, the French judges were shocked: they had chosen Mike"s 1973 Montelena...Read More About Grgich Hills
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley

Tropheus brichardi Nelissen & Thys Van Den Audenaerde, 1975
Original description as Tropheus brichardi:
- Nelissen, Mark H.J & D.F.E. Thys van den Audenaerde. 1975. "Description of Tropheus brichardi sp. nov. from Lake Tanganyika (Pisces, Cichlidae)". Revue de Zoologie et Botanique Africaines. v. 89(n. 4), pp. 974-980 (crc00024).
Taxonomic history:
- Tropheus brichardi, Nelissen et al, 1975, original combination.
- Tropheus moorii, Scheuermann, 1976, senior synonym.
- Tropheus brichardi, Nelissen, 1977, revalidated combination.
- Habitat: Lakes: sediment-free rocky
- Feeding: Algae cutters
- Morphology: Medium sized cichlids
- Aquarium: Intermediate aquarists
- Breeding: Maternal mouthbrooder
Etymology: Named after Pierre Brichard, Belgian fish collector based in Lake Tanganyika.
Diagnosis: A Tropheus species of the T. moorii type with brown chocolate overall coloration and white-yellowish saddle-like area on the back. A small blotch of the same coloration is usually also found on the belly. Juveniles are brown with whitish vertical bars. The anal fins bears 6 hard rays as well as vestigial ocelli, as in most other Tropheus. The iris is withish.
Size: Up to 12-14 cm TL (Total length) for imported fish; females usually smaller.
Type locality: Nyanza Lac, Lake Tanganyika, Burundi.
Distribution: Found all around Lake Tanganyika, except in Zambia. It probably represent several species, some of them living sympatrically. The typical Tropheus brichardi is found in Burundi, at Nyanza-Lac, and north Tanzania (Gombe). According to Schupke (2003), closely related populations are found at the northwestern coast (Uvira) .
Inhabited countries: Burundi (native), Congo, Democratic Republic (native), Tanzania (native).
Habitat: As other Tropheus of moorii type, inhabits the upper rocky zone free of sediments, though it seems to be pushed towards less favorable sediment-rich rocky areas when competing with some of its congeners.
Localities: Bulu Point (Tanzania, native), Cape Caramba (Congo, Democratic Republic, native), Cape Mpimbwe (Tanzania, native), Cape Tembwe (Congo, Democratic Republic, native), Isonga (Tanzania, native), Kabimba (Congo, Democratic Republic, native), Kalemie (Congo, Democratic Republic, native), Kapemba (Tanzania, native), Karago (Tanzania, native), Kavalla Island (Congo, Democratic Republic, native), Kigoma (Tanzania, native), Kipili (Tanzania, native), Mtosi (Tanzania, native), Mvuna Island (Tanzania, native), Nkondwe Island (Tanzania, native), Nyanza-Lac (Burundi, native), Ulwile (Tanzania, native).
Feeding: Feeds from the rock algal bio-cover (aufwuchs). The squarish mouth with straight parallel jaws is identical to those of other members of the genus, except for Tropheus duboisi. This species may thrive in more sediment-rich areas, where aufwuchs is less nutritious, than other T. moorii types.
Breeding: As other members of the genus, Tropheus brichardi is a maternal mouth-brooder which produces a rather low egg number (usually from 6-20). In compensation, the pear-shaped eggs are among the largest in the family (7 mm in their longest diameter), giving birth to rather large and well developed young. The incubation period is basically 3 weeks, but often continues during several more weeks (up to 10), during which the young are released from time to time by the mother in sheltered areas and may feed inside their mother's mouth. The male does not take any part in the parental care and usually chases the female away immediately after the spawn, but in aquarium, he may tolerate her in the immediate surroundings of his territory.
Aquaristics: Tropheus brichardi does not differ markedly from its congeners in maintenance requirements in aquarium, except that it seems to be amongst the most territorial species in the genus. In aquarium, males of all Tropheus species tend to defend their own territory, while linear hierarchies are found only in case of overcrowded small tanks. In order to observe their natural behavior in aquarium, Tropheus must be kept in small groups of several males and females in a large tank (at least 500 liters, but preferably 1000 liters or more) together with other tropheines such as Petrochromis or Simochromis. In smaller tanks, their murdering tendencies usually lead to the eradication of all subordinate males and females, unless the tank is markedly overcrowded. In some cases, when the sexes fit well together, they may be kept as a single pair, a situation which may last several months or years, until the male may finally kill his mate by frustration.
The water of the aquarium must be powerfully filtered, hard and alkaline (ph 8.2), with a temperature range around 23-26°C. These fishes must be given mainly ballast-rich foods, as they are very sensitive to intestinal diseases. As for all members of the genus, Tropheus brichardi tend to peck the fins of its tank-mates, especially when young, thus reducing sometimes considerably their extensions to unsightly extends.
Conservation: Tropheus brichardi is evaluated by the international union for the conservation of nature in the iucn red list of threatened species as (LC) least concern (2006).
Comments: Schupke (2003) proposed an interesting classification of Tropheus populations in several lineages (which, in my opinion, correspond approximately to known species) based on bio-molecular data (mainly from C. Sturmbauer) and personal observations. Considering that some of the types of Tropheus brichardi are sometimes found sympatrically, this suggests that in fact Tropheus brichardi must be divided into 3 or 4 different species.
Consequently, the true Tropheus brichardi would be restricted to the northern part of the lake. Nevertheless, based on molecular studies, Schupke includes the "orange band" Tropheus from Bemba in the same lineage as Tropheus brichardi from the type locality, but this form probably rather belongs to the now well-known Tropheus sp. 'black'.
Another lineage of Tropheus brichardi types, of which the Kigoma or Ujiji populations are the better known, comprises specimens with yellow fins and strong yellow vertical bars. These forms are traditionally included in Tropheus brichardi, but probably represent a different species.
A third lineage of Tropheus brichardi types, which also should be considered a different species, includes olive green individuals with a yellowish-green band and blue eyes (the better known being the Malagarasi population).
A fourth lineage of Tropheus brichardi types comprises the southeastern Tanzanian populations (Ulwile, Namansi) which are genetically closer to Tropheus sp. 'mpimbwe' (which was also first considered as belonging to Tropheus brichardi) and Tropheus annectens polli, with which they share a blue iris and brownish head. The Ulwile form is especially larger than other Tropheus brichardi types, though still smaller than the true Tropheus sp. 'mpimbwe'. These south-eastern populations may be considered as another species, or conspecific with one or another of the Tropheus brichardi types, in view of the fact that it is probably of a mixed genesis.
The wasp yellow black juvenile color pattern of the Ulwile-Kipili types is very recognizable (and very cute), followed by that of the Kigoma type. In the Kigoma type, it must be noted that contrary to nearly all other Tropheus species, dominant territorial males keep their vertical bars visible, though somewhat faded. Uniform brown individuals are usually in neutral mood. Besides, the typical Tropheus brichardi from Nyanza-Lac is uniformly brown with remnants of a whitish-yellow chest band in form of a "saddle" on the back and a small spot on the belly. It lives sympatrically with a member of the yellow-finned Kigoma type, a member of the green-Malagarasi type and a population of Tropheus sp. 'black'.

However, after years of dominance, a new challenger has appeared in the form of Box.net.

What's Up Doc? – Doctors' Preferences on Death
I recently listened to an episode of my favourite podcasts: Radiolab. The topic-du-jour was death – specifically, what are the end-of-life preferences of medical doctors.
"We turn to doctors to save our lives — to heal us, repair us, and keep us healthy. But when it comes to the critical question of what to do when death is at hand, there seems to be a gap between what we want doctors to do for us, and what doctors want done for themselves."

One of my labia minora is bigger
Well… You're not the only one, nope!
Every woman is different, every human body is different, every vulva is different, every labia is different. Photos of nude models don't reflect the reality.
Instead of worrying, embrace your labia and accept it as is. Most man won't make an issue out of it, and many men will love it and even get turned on by a prominent labia minora.
As a man, I like to play with it because I always get amazed and turned on by a beautiful big labia. I can spend hours playing with them and rubbing them slowly until she gets wet and with a nice erect and hard clitoris.
Big clitoris and large labia
By now all women should know that definitely there men that get a huge turn on by large clitoris and big labia. So instead of seeking labiaplasty, women should be seeking partners that will enjoy those features in them… The human body is something unique, no two vaginas are equal in shape, color, size, hair, labia, you name it… There are so many things to be different about, and those are the things that make you unique.
Thing is, there is too much "perfect" out there! What you see in porn movies and professional photos does not represent reality at all. So stop wanting to have the perfect breasts with the perfect nipples or the perfect vagina with the perfect labia. Instead enjoy exploring and allowing someone else to appreciate and enjoy what you have. Like me, many men enjoy big labias, or big clitoris and some of us consider ourselves lucky to have a partner with such features.
If you're a big clit fan, you shouldn't miss some close up clit photos at Honey's Luscious Labia.
I have a large labia minora, it's too big!
What do men think of girls with large labia? This is one of the most asked questions out there by women, because many women feel uncomfortable with their labia minora size. Short answer: There is nothing wrong with it, and it's nothing you should worry about. Don't believe me? You should be reading these comments.
So, unless it causes you pain, discomfort or hygiene issues you shouldn't be embarrassed by the size of your labia at all. This is something common among women of all ages, and every woman is unique and so is your vagina. You shouldn't be trying to please anyone else but yourself. And have I mentioned already that there are plenty of men that get turned on by a luscious vagina labia? How do you think this site was born?
Heck! Some women even say that they view other large labias as attractive, and some even turned them on but they still their labia is ugly. How logical is that?
One after another, I've been posting about my passion for big vagina lips, how sexy I think they are and dedicated a whole site to it. There are more and more sites about this exact same topic, check the links under "Sources of Inspiration" on the lower right sidebar.
Natural large pussy lips sexier than pumped vaginal lips
Whenever I search for [big labia] or [vagina with big lips] or any other term that is supposed to bring up a beautiful vulva with natural big labia, it's common to come across a huge pool of pictures of artificially pumped pussy lips. Pumped vaginal lips often have a swollen look, because well, they're swollen by mechanical means — often a vacuum pump — which in fact gives them a bit of a unhealthy look thus becoming not as appealing as a natural big labia. In fact the same happens if you search for [nippy boobs] or [big hard nipples] as I recently wrote in an article about big nipples and puffy nipples.
So, to give an idea of what is a yummy pussy with big juicy lips, I decided to mash-up a nice collection with some of the best girls with big labias or Lippy Pussies how I like to call it :)
Nothing better than Dominika with her meaty pussy lips to open the show. Dominika is a beautiful woman. She is among the girls with the biggest and best pussy lips.
Here is a photo of Dominika… Amazing lippy pussy!
Second place: Maya
Third place: Monika
Fourth place: Marena
Fifth place (and only because I had to choose an order): Julia
Now I hope I made my point here. I always find extremely difficult to find girls with a nice prominent vaginal labia. I don't know if they're shy or if studios have anything against girls with such attractive features.
The art of sucking big pussy lips
Let's get it out of the way shall we? For most men, oral sex is one of the "must haves" in a relationship! I can't think of it in any other way, it just doesn't make any sense. The old "turn the lights off and let's do it quick" thing is just something unconceivable nowadays. Fact is, until recently the act of performing a cunnilingus or fellatio was something seen as disgusting and shameful to a big part of society, and I'm sure we'd be surprised to know how many people still think of it in that way in the 21st century.
There is nothing more pleasing and erotic than performing oral sex on a woman, mainly if she has a big lippy cunt, sucking that big labia and clitoris while she gets warmed up and shouts for more. And that's what crossed my mind as soon as I came across Dominika… You see, Dominika is the kind of woman that knows what men like and she isn't afraid nor ashamed of exposing it in your face.
Like most women, Dominika likes to be enjoyed and enjoy… There she is, lying in that bed with her slender legs wide open and inviting you to take a shot at those big butterfly pussy lips. I'm sure you all would ask her to turn off the lights and do it without looking right? …I thought so!
If you never had a "bite" at a vulva before, hold your horses and don't just dig your way trough like a wild boar. You see, like nipples, the clitoris and labia, need to be handled with care… like a delicate flower, otherwise they will go hyper-sensitive or numb and the party is over. Start by licking it with the tip of your tongue and hold yourself from putting it all at once in your mouth.
As she gets "warmed up" you will have to keep up with the pace — and that's another reason you don't want to go berzerk, or simply you will not be able to. Lick her labia majora and labia minora with soft and long strokes while at the same time touching her clitoris like "by accident". You can also juggle with the labia in your tongue, if she has a big one, it should be very pleasant… If you do everything right she will be near an clitoral orgasm very soon (yeah women have 2 types of orgasms… lucky for them eh!).
When a woman is about to have a clitoral orgasm you can take a last big gentle suck at her clitoris, if done right, that will bring her to Zen. At this point very likely she will ask you to stop, which by all means you should and let her enjoy… After that you can be seen as a hero that just achieved what a good number of men can't… Give a true orgasm to a woman. I bet Dominika would love this.
Men like women with big labia
It's a common thing to hear statements about women preferring big men with big genitalia. It seems that men tend to have a similar preference when it comes to women. Most men get more excited at the view of a big vulva than a small one.
For most men, girls with big large labia are sexier than those with smaller labia and flat vulvas, and it's no surprise that these girls are worshiped by men in general. Pussies with a big labia minora and big labia majora are among the strong female characteristics that make a woman more feminine for men's eyes. Many men consider big labia the most sex appealing female genital shape. Women with smaller labia can always try some techniques to enlarge them, like labia stretching or labia pumping. There are special labia weights and labia pumps available to help out and in time your lips could grow as large as you wish.
This is Angel, showing off her amazing vulva. Both her labia minora and labia majora are very well developed. You have to be a true pussy-addict to handle these very rare fat HUGE pussy lips!
Large pussy lips from behind
One of my favorite angles when watching a woman with a large vaginal labia minora, is from behind. It's extremely erotic to see those hanging lips moving and changing shape while secretly imagining losing myself in them.
Some women worry too much about it how big is their vulva, often if they have big vaginal lips. There is also the myth to the effect that a woman who has lots of sex will get a large vagina. This is just nonsense!
Together with women's growing confidence and love for their vulva and labia comes also a greater interest in the subject by men. To be honest many men just don't care and in most of the times they never gave it too much thought, but as sex, nudity and pornography come out of the "tabu model", men and women tend to refine their taste and reject the stereotypes.
This beautiful model name is Altea and as you probably noticed, she has a very prominent and sexy labia minora. That puts her straight in my Favorites List of sexual fantasies :)
Sexy Labia
She looks so sexy, and that appealing labia…
There is no doubt that a well-defined vulva with a good pair of big pussy flaps contributes to a woman's femininity. The vulva is much more than the outside of the vagina, it's almost an organ by itself.
It shouldn't pass you unnoticed how beautiful this labia is. Kami is a sex appealing red-head (and I don't care if it's fake) that just drives me sexy crazy. As I see her flappy pussy exposed above with those yummy lips I can't stop thinking of the hours that I would spend losing myself in them.

Big lips are sexy!
If there is something that I really find sexy and erotic, is women with big labia. I can't believe there are women who are actually ashamed of having long vaginal lips. As with big nipples, the big labia and clitoris are among the most sensitive areas in a woman's body, they should be handled very gently otherwise you will end hurting your partner rather than giving her some pleasure.

Just installed on a 2007 4Runner with factory cross bars. Went on easily and looks great. Fits my skiis well.
I really like the big button as others have mentioned. Seems solid and latches well with soft non slip rubber.
Locks provided. The screws are specific "star" type pattern for Thule which seems to provide some additional security.
Nice price too.

Easy installation, easy use, easy on the eyes. This was super simple to set up on my Subaru Outback in about 10 minutes and was really easy to load and unload skis even with mittens and gloves on. I didn't notice any negative mileage impacts so I tend to just leave it on all the time so I don't have to go looking for the wrench twice a year. Very secure and good looking.

Put these on my 06 Xterra...needed longer bolts because the Xterra's crossbars are a little thicker, but other than that these things are awesome. Keeps the interior from getting snow in it or rips in the seats. Solid buy.

this will fit your factory rack just fine, but this is just a ski rack and if you don't have a basic rack and crossbars on your roof, you need to get that separate, go to thule.com for the fit guide.
Be Warned!!
Matt Edge
Member since
These do NOT come with locks!! I was very disappointed to receive these and realize this. The price I got this rack for was a good price and it is a top quality rack. However, if you care about theft protection you will have to buy lock cylinders and cross bar locks! This can add around 60$ to the price. Also if your cross bars are taller in diameter than 1 1/2 inches you will have to purchase longer screws! Bottom line is it is a great set, but no locks!!

Member since
I have this in the 4-ski rack and have been looking for a complement. We mount it to a 2003 RAV rack (pretty similar body style as the 05) and it fits the factory rack great. Only thing I have noticed is that my skis have racing bindings and to have the skis "double-up" base-to-base my binding has scuffed the roof so I typically can only mount the skis edge-to-edge/bindings up. But the hardware and locking system are top notch.
Ski/Snowboard Rack

I racked my 1999 Nissan Sentra and the rack looks very good on my little green car! My car is really small so I can't fit my snowboard in it so I got this rack and I love it! It is easy to open the rack to put your 4 snowboards on or off the rack and they lock so nobody steals your gear when loft on your car! The one downside I've noticed is that it does create wind drag. My car is a 4 banger so it's not very powerful and I can feel the drag that this rack creates so be sure to take them off your car if your not going to use them for a week or more. Don't let that 1 negative thing deter you from buying this rack as any mount you put on your car will create drag.

Does exactly what is supposed to do. Easy to use and the buttons are huge and easy to push, big bonus when your wearing gloves or finger are frozen. Gave it four stars due to the locks freazing up on me one day, its understandable but a bummer.
Rack that every guy likes!

This is an awesome rack, the kind that get school boys excited. Took about 15 minutes to install. No complaints. Holds 3 pairs of my fatty skis. You can't go wrong!

Chris Herren, former Nuggets and Celtics guard, and son of the Boston metropolitan area, has a new memoir out called Basketball Junkie. His hometown of Fall River looks pretty nice, so I'll refrain from pulling out references to The Town, and I'm sure his last name is an unlucky accident. There are plaques around Seattle (a major dope town) to commemorate famous herons, and no one laughs about those. There are two kinds of people in Seattle: oppressively healthy, and virulently unhealthy, and never the twain shall meet. Anyway, about Herren's book: I read an excerpt in SLAM, and it was gripping enough. The title, though, opened up (ahem) an old vein for me. "Basketball junkie" or "hoops junkie" have always been two of the sillier bits of lingo in the sports lexicon. I wish someone could tell me that they sprang from the streets, where drugs were a real risk.
Alas, I suspect they're an absent-minded usage in the finest post-Trainspotting/heroin chic tradition. But whatever, I DID NO RESEARCH. Just thinking out loud on ye olde Tumblr, which is way safer than that beastly Twitter. So while this is something of a wake-up call to that expression, it's also an irony that never should have been possible in the first place. It also makes me that much more uncomfortable at two of my favorite business names: "Bath Junkie", a national chain, and Seattle's "Thai Junkie". Do these people even know what "junkie" means? Didn't they see the movies? Bathtubs have a very literal place in the literal world of real junkies; it's where they're put in case of near-death. Similarly, Thailand is lousy with smack, as both a pipeline and a place where tourists can cop for their pleasure. I get that these are meant as innocent word-play—"What? Us, sleazy?"—but instead of divorcing themselves from reality, they're sunk in deeper than I think they've ever considered. Oh well. At least it's not "Tie Junkie", which is what I initially assumed it to be.

Digital Kids Conference presentation
Here's the presentation Nic delivered at the Digital Kids Conference in New York yesterday.
Slideshare presentation for Q1 2013 Radar Chart
Related article: The State of the Virtual Worlds Market
The State of the Virtual Worlds Market – KZero Radar Chart for Q1 2013
Here it is – the updated KZero Radar chart for Q1 2013.
Whereas the Universe chart shows the number of registered accounts for each virtual world and MMO in the market, the Radar chart segments these companies by genre and operational stage. The segments are:
- Socializing / Open: Worlds that focus more on chat and user interaction, rather than gaming.
- Casual Gaming: Worlds that are basically gaming malls.
- Misc: We had to have a misc section! These include faith-based worlds (a growing segment) along with B2B platforms and other.
- Mirror: Worlds that simulate places in the real world.
- Questing / Adventure: Game-based worlds that focus on exploration and questing. Includes fantasy roleplay.
- Toys / Real World Games: Worlds based on existing toy and game IPs.
- Music: As it says on the tin.
- Fashion / Lifestyle: Worlds based around avatar customization and dress-up.
- Education / Development: Worlds focussed on user self-development and learning.
- Sports: Self-explanatory.
- TV / film / books: Worlds based on existing IPs in these categories.
- Content Creation / UGC : Worlds that allow users to create objects and assets.
Each virtual world / MMO is colored according to their operational stage. Red for active, green for in-development and black for closed (here's some reasons for those closures).
We have a full presentation report showing each segment of the Radar chart that can be ordered here. Shown below is the segment covering TV/Film/Books, Sports and Content Creation.
Focusing on the TV/Film/Book segment, expect a number of new companies to bring their existing IPs to market this year (many of which are still in stealth mode and therefore not listed). As publishers and IP owners seek to drive digital revenues, creating online worlds is a key strategy for them. Good examples in this instance include Toonix (from Turner), Adventure in Oz, Transformers Universe and PBS.
Moving to the Content Creation segment, although Minecraft and Roblox are the dominant players, the power of User Generated Content is expected to stimulate activity across all age ranges.
Order the full presentation here. The Slideshare version will be posted shortly.
Competition Thematic for VWs and MMOs
Later this week we'll be publishing the Q1 2013 Radar Chart. In the meantime, here's a thematic visual showing the levels of competion (companies) by genre and age for the virtual world and MMO sectors.
The dominance of the Kids and Tweens age group can be clearly observed below, especially in the Casual Gaming, Existing IP and Education/Development sectors.
This thematic looks at the number of operational companies (as opposed to the size of user bases) and marks each genre and age range into High, Medium, Low and Zero competition. The upcoming Radar Chart will be naming the actual companies in the market and indicating their operational phase.
That is all (for now).
Q1 2013 Radar Chart Coming This Week
Later this week we'll be released the Q1 2013 Radar chart. The Radar chart shows Virtual Worlds and MMOs by genre and status (live, in-development, closed) and is a great tool to assess sector competitiveness.
In addition, we'll also be publishing a thematic chart visualising the hot (and not so hot) spots – useful for companies trying to understand the underserved segments.
If you're currently working on a VW/MMO that's coming out of stealth mode, or one that didn't make our Q1 2012 release (which you can order here), please let us know asap!
Are you on the Radar?
The KZero Radar chart is a visualization of all the operating and in-development virtual worlds and youth MMOs in the marketplace.
Alongside the Universe chart, the Radar is often used at industry conferences, academic presentations and in investor slidedecks to easily explain the sector. The Q1 2012 Radar is shown below and an extract right.
Well, we're in the process of updating the Radar and we will also be re-adjusting the category names to reflect a greater number of IP and brand-led virtual worlds in the market.
We're already aware of a lot of the in-development worlds and MMOs (because we assist them in getting to market) but there's bound to be some we're not aware of.
If you're developing a virtual world or MMO targeting the KT&T (kids, tweens and teens) sectors, let us know and we'll make sure you're on the Radar!
Radar chart: Toys/games, Questing and Mirror Worlds
Last week we released the Q1 2012 Radar chart showing VWs and MMos by genre and operational stage. Here's another segment from the Radar showing Toys/Games, Questing and Mirror Worlds.
Brands are increasingly looking towards 'Connected Play' as a tool to link on and off line activities. The toys/games sector shows companies either already operational in the market or about to enter. The most recent entrant into this genre is KZero client Ubisoft with their Imagine Town MMO.
You can order the high-res full Radar report here and we've also got a Slideshare presentation.

Radar chart for Q1 2012
Here we go folks, we're delighted to announce that we've updated the Radar chart based on Q1 2012 data, sponsored by vWoGo.
The KZero Radar chart tracks virtual worlds and kids MMOs by genre and operational status (live, closed beta or closed). As ever, it's a busy chart due to continued signs of strong growth in the sector.
Shown below is the segment covering education/development, fashion/lifestyle and music. The educational sector in particular is extremely hot right now both in terms of new entrants prepping for launch, existing worlds expanding their user bases and importantly, improved monetization both in terms of paying user conversions and ARPPU's.

The Radar chart shows virtual worlds by category and stage of development. Here's one of the segments showing Education,/Learning, Fashion/Lifestyle and Music.
Major developments this quarter (and year)….. Education and Brands/IP are leading the charge in terms of new worlds in development. Continue reading "KZero Radar chart Q2 2011" »

Q1 2011 Radar chart: Music, Fashion and Education
Here's the next segment of the Q1 2011 virtual worlds Radar chart. This one shows live and in-development worlds in the education/learning, music and fashion categories. The first segment is here and includes existing IP's/brands, sports and content creation.
In the educational space new platforms continue to come to market as companies are attempting to 'crack the nut' of learning in virtual environments. The balance trying to be achieved is between fun and learning. Of course, the last thing kids and tweens want to do once they're out of school is be taught at so it's all about creating engaging learning-based activities and games. Knowledge Adventure has actively pursued this strategy and are doing well with their first property – Jumpstart. And, their second world, Math Blaster has just entered the market. Another company, Baobab Planet from Spain are a new entrant to the sector and one to watch.
The music sector is also doing well with established properties continuing to grow and some interesting new concepts coming to market. This segment is explored and assessed in the new KZero report, Virtual Worlds: 2011 and Beyond. This report is currently being offered exclusively to attendees of the upcoming Engage! Expo and will be available for download from our report section in about a month. The full Radar chart can be ordered here.

Q1 2011 Radar chart: Existing brands, sports and content creation
After a short hiatus the Radar chart is back with a bang for 2011. The first segment is shown below and contain live and in-development virtual worlds. This part of the Radar shows worlds based on sports, existing brands/IP's (books, movies and TV mainly) and content creation.
The sector for existing IP's being turned into virtual worlds is the hot-spot for 2011. New entrants and in-development projects are mainly based on existing brands with a heritage, i.e. they are well-known established properties such as Dorothy of Oz, The Ministry of Silly Games (Monty Python), Star Trek, Tom and Jerry and Back to the Future. These are properties with existing fan-bases, therefore providing major opportunities to leverage the incumbent awareness into active users.

Q2 Radar: Brands and Learning dominate new entrants into virtual worlds sector
We've updated our Radar Charts for Q2 2010. These charts show both existing virtual worlds and platforms in development (closed beta). This time we've included MMOs into the Radar charts and we'll be building out this list over time.
As a whole, the virtual worlds and MMO marketplace is changing quite dramatically. Whereas 12 months ago a concept we called 'Chasing the Penguin' was the main thrust of activity. This related to completely new companies setting up shop funded on the basis and excitement caused by the Disney acquisition of Club Penguin. This led to a massive influx (60+ new worlds) entering the marketplace going after the lucrative kids and tween sectors.
Of course, there's only so much time kids have available and only so many times these kids can convince their parents to part with their hard-earned cash – we're seeing casualties now.
As our last post explained, the virtual world and MMO marketplace is now shifting to being brand dominated as companies with existing customers, channels and operations see the value in sliding the brands and offerings into immersive environments.
The uplift in new platforms being developed as a result of these brands can be seen in the Radar segment shown below.
The other key segment seeing increased activity from new entrants is Education and Learning with a wide range of companies across many different educational areas developing their offerings. Continue reading "Q2 Radar: Brands and Learning dominate new entrants into virtual worlds sector" »
(In and) Out of their World – How Brands are Moving Across Platforms
We've highlighted many times the opportunities presented to brands within the virtual world and MMO category, primarily from engagement and monetisation perspectives. Linked to this is another trend we identified of leveraging different platforms to synergise brands. This is a post about how these trends are rapidly transforming and driving the sector.
Real world brands having virtual worlds is not a new concept. Barbie Girls and Webkinz were early pioneers of this strategy, amassing multi-million user bases in short periods – and importantly, in most cases much faster than 'pureplay' virtual worlds which at present make up the bulk of the sector.
We've just updated our Radar charts showing existing and new worlds and MMOs by genre. Related to this, we thought you'd be interested in seeing how brands are moving across different platforms. This is shown in the diagram below (which we'll be updating on an ongoing basis).
We've placed five different channels (TV, Movies, Toys/Games, Consoles and Books) around the virtual world platform. From here we've shown how a brand has moved from one of these channels into virtual worlds. For example, BuildaBear started life as a toy retail operation and then augmented their virtual world proposition, BuildaBearVille. Kung Fu Panda similarly created a MMO off the back of the movie – so on and so forth. Continue reading "(In and) Out of their World – How Brands are Moving Across Platforms" »
Radar chart Q1: Sports, TV/film/books and content creation
Here's the second segment from our updated Radar chart for Q1, 2010. The first segment is here and the full report can be order from here.
Updated Radar charts for Q1 2010
Here we go folks, our updated Radar charts for Q1 2010. On an overall basis we're seeing a shift from 'Chasing the Penguin' and now we're seeing efforts in the following areas:
1. Learning and education. Expect a growing number of virtual worlds entering the marketplace focusing on various elements of learning, education and self-development. These are focused around the eight to 12 year old segment.
2. Real-world IP: We've discussed this particular segment in length for a long time. This relates to existing popular brands creating virtual worlds to accompany movies, toys, TV and other IP-led properties.
Here's the first segment (Education/Learning, Fashion/Lifestyle and Music). The full report can be ordered here.

Here's a Slideshare presentation containing our Q4 2009 Universe and Radar analysis.
Radar chart: Toys/games, fantasy and mirror worlds
Following on from our Universe chart posts for Q4 2009, we're delighted to release the Radar charts. These charts show, be genre, virtual worlds either live or in development. The chart below shows three segments, Toys/real world games, fantasy/questing and mirror worlds.
For the Toys and real world games segment, we're expecting a lot of movement. Mattel has lead this segment with Barbie Girls and we're now seeing Hasbro/EA move into the market with the Littlest Pet Shop Online (LPOS) and Ubisoft with Imagine, launching shortly (Shameless plug alert – both are KZero consulting clients). And let's not forget about Lego Universe. Continue reading "Radar chart: Toys/games, fantasy and mirror worlds" »
Q4 2009 Radar chart: Music, Fashion and Education/Development
Throughout 2009 and certainly for the majority of 2008, almost all the focus in the KT&T virtual worlds space was in casual gaming and socialising.
Now, we're seeing a different trend, with worlds catering towards education and development being the hotspot in terms of upcoming worlds.
The chart below shows Education/Development, Fashion/Lifestyle and Music.
You can order the full report analysing growth in the virtual worlds sector here. Our report, Virtual Worlds 2010+ details the major drivers for growth in these categories. Continue reading "Q4 2009 Radar chart: Music, Fashion and Education/Development" »

MacKenzie's Chop House
Online Reservations
We were visitng from Illinois and found this place on-line and gave it a try...Great Find! Food was great, oysters we the best! Steaks were very good too. Loved this place! Definately will go back next time we are in town.
We had the prime rib and it was cooked perfect and service was fast. Most impressive was the "team service" we had. I think four people served us. I can't say enough great things about this place.
Food was delicious as always, our wait lady was superb!!!!!!
We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary here and had a great meal and great service.
My wife and I had a great romantic night at Mackenzie's Chop House, one of the best meals we both have had in a long time. We both had steaks cooked to perfection and the wine list was stellar. The next night we wanted to go back there to eat again! This was our anniversary date night and I really scored big with the wife and so did the restaurant!! I was able to make last minute reservations and we would definitely go back!!
We decided to come to McKenzie's for a family celebration. It was a Sunday evening and the restaurant was busy so it was a little noisy by the bar. Luckily we were seated far enough that noise wasn't an issue. I ordered the New York Strip medium rare with blue cheese on top and Mashed potatoes for my side. My boyfriend ordered the filet mignon wrapped in bacon also medium rare. We were very pleased with our dinners and the steaks were delicious. Very tender, juicy and cooked just right. I would definitely recommend this place for great steaks.
We had an amazing time. The happy hour appetizers were a delicious treat for half the price, because we arrived before 7 o'clock. The monday night prime rib special was a great deal as well, included two sides and tasted fantastic! The servers were attentive, but not over bearing. Our drinks never went empty, including the coffee we had with dessert. Finally the creme brulee topped off our anniversary dinner perfectly! Love this place and will definitely be returning.
My wife and I had previously dined at MacKenzie's Chop House. We wanted to celebrate our 25th Anniversary at a nice, local restaurant..The service was exceptional, the food was great and the serving team were exemplary.
Waitresses weren't overly friendly or efficient. Ordered my steak rare, someone else at table ordered medium but I got my medium and his rare. Waitress didn't seem to be paying a lot of attention when she took order. Our drink glasses would be empty part way through meal and she would ask if we wanted more? Well of course we do just bring more.
We really enjoyed our experience at Mackenzie's. Our servers were wonderful, the ambiance was great, and the food was very good. I gave the food 4 stars because both my husband and my potatoes were a bit under cooked and so was our broccoli. We were surprised that something simple like that was not right, when everything else was so good. We really enjoyed our experience so we will definitely come back!
Dined at Mackenzie's Chop House in Colorado Springs on a Sunday evening, and the experience was wonderful. For starters, on Sunday evenings all their martinis are half-price, only to be followed by impeccably prepared fine beef, cooked exactly to order. The waitstaff is not only professional, but also attentive, and they actually *listen* to your likes/preferences. Long story short, the service was superb. The menu is extensive, and extends well beyond just steak/ beef. If you want to experience a really fine Colorado steakhouse that is priced fairly, with real quality food, this is the place. We will definitely return to MacKenzie's.
The service started out slow but by the time the appetizers came out it sped up and was a wonderful night.
Service remains friendly and efficient at this downtown landmark. My steak was not prepared with the excellence I have come to expect. That's one time among dozens, however.
The food and setting at McKenzie's were great but the fact that so many Pikes Peak Center concert attendees were there for dinner before the show at the same time seemed to overwhelm the waitstaff and the kitchen. Otherwise the dinner was very good and the quality of the food preparation was excellent.
Lovely place to have dinner. We were there on a Thursday night, which I'm sure was quieter than the weekends, and we really enjoyed the food and service.
Went for our anniversary. food was good and atmosphere was great for the occasion.
I generally meet there for business lunch, this was the first time in awhile I've had dinner there, the food and service was excellent
All aspects of this restaurant are to our liking. The food, wine list and service are first class. We particularly like the ambience , early 20th Century architecture.
Mackenzie's is a great place for that special occasion. The wait staff is courteous, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The only negative is the fact that some areas were a little dark, which is good for the intimate atmosphere but bad if you are trying to read some of the smaller print on the menu.
Nice atmosphere, very good food, wine list is good (little pricey), - but bring a jacket - lots of cool air.
Very good food. Was not crowded at our table although the restaurant was full. Look forward to coming again.
We took some friends and this was really an amazing evening. Greatly exceeded our expectations, and we eat out a lot. Really great food, attentive service, and ambience. Prices are very good. We were seated promptly at the table we had hoped for. We had not been there for a year and will surely be returning soon.
Good atmosphere and attentive staff. Food quality was good, quantity was little on the lean side. I would suggest it is a little pricer than need be. Would definitely go back, but believe there are plenty of equally good places that offer a lot more bang for the buck.
We celebrated my son's 21st birthday with good friends, delicious food and of course wine! The evening was perfect!!
My overall experience was very good I would like to note that we were never ignored by any of the waiters/waitresses we literally had attention from every one of them before the night was over.
The menu has something for everyone. For us, this is a special occasion restaurant. The happy hour prices are good and can be used in restaurant if you ask.
We love it at MacKenzie's Chop House! We always hear about The Famous. We'd go to MacKenzie's before them any day! I once ordered their expensive steak, then added the $15 or $16 dollars to have the extra crab mixture put on. When my steak came, it hardly had any crab on it! I was more mad than enjoying my dinner. When we went the other night to MacKenzie's, I ordered the extra crab for much less than The Famous, and I received a lot of the crab mixture and asparagus! We also really like the atmosphere there and everyone makes us feel welcome! I would recommend anyone to go to MacKenzie's Chop House for a special celebration, or just a relaxing night out! We wish you had one up North!
Great food, and great selection, I will definitely be coming back!
I have been going to Mackenzie's for 10-15 years. The food and service has always been very good. On some nights it can be noisy so if you want a quiet restaurant you might be better served to pick a week night rather than weekends. It is a fun restaurant with a higher energy level. So I tend to go more often with a group of six or more where you're likely to have a more energetic meal with friends or family.
Had a wonderful experience with Dinner Friday night with friends. Great service, excellent food. We also hosted our AFA cadets graduation dinner here in 2010 in a private room. Again nothing but a positive experience!
the table was ready on time, the staff was very helpful with dinner and drinks selections.
Found food and service to be exceptional. Good variety in menu and all items were cooked and presented to perfection. Can't miss with a special occasion.
I have many food allergies/sensitivities - they are so accommodating -we had a wonderful meal
First time at this restaurant. Had a nice coupon and had read about the great happy hour. Unfortunately, the happy hour was supposed to only take place in the bar area. That area seemed full plus we preferred to be at our table. However, when we asked about this our server kindly gave us the happy hour pricing. Our table was a bit tight and we did not realize others were a bit more roomy. Should have asked for a different one. Medium rare prime rib was basically rare. Should have sent it back but it tasted good anyway. Overall a very nice evening and we will return at some point.
food was terrific, very excited about half price martinis on Sundays. service was pretty good, strangely kept switching waitresses on us, came off as a little sloppy.
The food was honestly the absolute best I had ever had. I will definitely be coming back!
Great steak...and a nice selection of bottled wine to choose from. Kinda noisy by the bar, but our table next to the fireplace was cozy and romantic.
Service was outstanding, food was better than average. Price was very reasonable compared to other steak houses in the area.
My wife ordered the 6 oz Filet and I got the 8 oz New York Strip. My only regret is not getting the filet. It was the best filet we'd ever tasted. Cheesecake was delicious as well. Overall great dinner.
We went here for our anniversary and really enjoyed the experience. My wife had the 6oz bacon wrapped fillet and I had the baseball cut New York strip. Both were great. They even comped our dessert due to our anniversary which I mentioned here on Open Table.
We enjoyed a lovely, quiet dinner for two before attending a show within walking distance of this restaurant. Initially we asked to be moved due to noisy conversation levels from the bar area and a very chilly booth. The staff were very accommodating and pleasant regarding our request and our second booth was warm, quiet and - just perfect. The wine and food were terrific, service was a bit slow even though we had a serving "team" working our table. My husband waited for a refill on his wine for quite some time at one point. Overall, this venue has great food, wine, ambiance if not seated too close to bar area. We will return for that special occasion!
Just an all around great experience. Awesome Peppered Pork Loin and Blackened Tuna!
From the moment we stepped into this cozy place we were taken care of with quiet professionalism and served excellent food! Highly suggest you try it. It's not our first time there and will not be our last either! Great place to eat before a show at Pikes Peak Center since it's a short walk to each.
Had Thanksgiving here, it was pretty good. It was by no means the best dining I have ever had, but, I would come here again. Service was top notch, my wine service was great too. I would come here again. This is a good place for a nicer casual dinner or for you and a buddy to come and have some great drinks with one another.
Reservations for four for Thanksgiving Day. Warmly greeted by matradee and promptly seated. A few table service misses, such as a long wait for water and dropped silverware by server. One plate did not have all the food items but that was quickly remedied. The food was very good, the staff was very friendly. All in all a very pleasant experience. We will enjoy their offerings again.
MacKenzie's is always a treat....we've never had a disappointing dining experience, and that's why we decided make a reservation for our Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was just as we expected........great food, wonderful service and a lengthy wine list. Highly recommended.
I went with my wife and five year old daughter on a Saturday evening. The service was outstanding. Our food was excellent. The wine list was great. We dined for two hours. Awesome after dinner dessert martini's. We're from Denver and didn't know where to eat. I highly recommend McKenzie's if you love steak. You won't be disappointed.
Awesome place to go for special occasions and romantic dinners.
Appetizers were off the hook good, beef and bree, we ordered martini's and they were the best we ever had. The prime rib and filet mignon were amazing. Finished off with creme brule and pudding cake topped it all.
it is NOT very "quaint" pretty LOUD and crammed, and though expensive good food, just NOT very romantic.
