Mornings -- report released today by The National Retail Federation retail sales are expected to rise.
3.4 percent in 2013 looks good but this is significantly lower than the four point 2% growth in 2012.
Higher payroll raises an oncoming fiscal -- comment expected to weigh on consumer sentiment this year -- we've -- someone that says the outlook for the high end retailers looks.
Pretty bright Oliver China's luxury goods analysts at Citigroup who was just and a rising star of Wall Street research.
By institutional.
Investors and congratulation on -- Yet what -- actually took a bit of ahead in the second half of 2000 called the sector overall we -- -- of those middle tier players jumping back and why is -- luxury is gonna come back to issue again.
I am excited about it the market has stabilized to a certain extent and we are seeing better performance -- above 500 dollar price points.
So there is enthusiasm at the high end and and the rich continue to be very rich.
Well let's talk about the high and we Tiffany everywhere -- -- mentioned dividend before this is one of the best brands in the world you mention the name Tiffany is almost a word in and of itself.
Have -- -- some people complain though that they haven't done as good a job marketing that brand as they could you agree.
I -- I agree with you at such a great brand that 10% square footage growth global story and that's a classic American brand with the blue box.
In terms of marketing the story and what product innovation there is opportunity for them to improve.
I think self purchasing and ladies and men looking to go buy for themselves as an opportunity.
Until we just talk about by the way the quality of the work they do they make most of there stuff here in the US in fact they've got a place right appeared purchase New York.
I'm wearing activity coupling slight right now that of last sixteen years without report we want to they just focus on say look if you want something that's gonna last it's well made -- made here go to Tiffany's.
That's exactly right and it's a great American brand that's a classic.
That's why it's so attractive even that companies who would be interest and maybe buying an American luxury brand -- Well swatch is coming and buying -- -- I think a lot of investors by surprise on American's vice president.
Protect our international market that is really been the key driver for the sector whether it's the Chinese.
The Japanese to a certain extent even some of the high and European shoppers coming -- the United States and in how crucial are these numbers gonna be internationally.
That's a big part of the story probably stocks to big growth is an emerging markets so China.
Parts of Asia and Europe and in the -- flow that we get here and bars emerging spending in China.
It's due to a certain extent if you five that 2% of sales right now in China.
But that should grow over time to be massive 15% -- -- thought that GDP in China has stated percent number good -- out if you bodies that April.
Yeah yeah I think about it I don't know go ahead and.
What about the second half of two you think that we're gonna pop in the second half of of this year should you hold back if you believe in the retail sector should you hold back perhaps until.
With the we get into big to -- -- you're expecting I'm more excited for the second half but you probably wanna owner and ahead of so call it.
The net and the first quarter you just wanna be early to what to what I see happening there could be -- re acceleration.
From the little more excited overall for the second -- strong.
-- briefly touched on the news watch Harry Winston story but you might Terry Wentz and -- that they're actually making some correct moves here at this point.
In their shifted their focus I mean maybe they can't as David mentioned Tiffany is so strong -- her -- needs to take this directional shift that they are.
-- -- they've been been doing a much better job with watches and bridal rings it's another great iconic American brand.
And it's a brand that swatch is gonna pay a billion dollars for the luxury side after that deal is done they will own a diamond mine.
And as the Chinese use wedding rings only about 30% of Chinese use wedding rings as -- accelerates but should be a great trend for the diamond mine too.
Is -- that that upper middle class in trying to that you think is going to be expanding that that these retailers are going to be targeting successfully.
I do I mean another name is Michael course their Coach has focused on China.
I'm it is something that they need to be at just like e-commerce China's.
A very important aspect to this was adjusted you're in your focus on Coach because I think I mean China is known for doing knock offs in the and I have seen more knock offs of Coach friends are practically anything else in Chinatown that's not happening over in China made.
-- it's a mixed blessing when that happens because it means there's great awareness of the brands.
I wanna go back and Michael -- -- -- -- -- -- we're showing that -- an agreement means that we're showing bigger -- closures but -- and in that stock has had a monumental run.
Now is Michael chorus and -- is being credited with the success of the stock amusement.
Percent over the last right -- -- so can may continue on that.
And that trajectory it just seems so intense for -- -- This idea continue to love it mr.
Michael course is a part of the story.
It hasn't hit 8% revenues in Europe I think that can go grow about five times and they did 40% -- the product innovation of course is -- So they're doing good job actually kind of replicating.
What futon in our -- offer at a much much lower -- look.
While you're bullish if anybody can take their eyes off of that video while you're bullish on the high end what about the dividend is a lot of people say the mid level retail is really stuck in a hard place.
I think you're right we're seeing mall traffic declines of a 3% so it's been tough.
To grow in the middle.
You know I like -- -- -- he came TJ Maxx and I like the Harry Winston's of the world so low and higher good but to avoid the middle that's right yeah you really need differentiation like.
Very strong brands or you have to be offering the consumer an extremely good value.
-- -- -- ask you about the -- of the -- that you know the big department labels.
Even the Barneys if you well let me do you think -- -- are still gonna have growth in 2013.
We still see a lot of interesting things there with another Citi analyst covers some of stocks and depth but didn't we -- and generally like it we we like what's happening with innovation what's happening -- proprietary products so a lot of these department stores are coming up with.
Brand's unique to themselves and that's a great trend the designers -- coming in -- checking those deals exactly that he started out selling suits right I did it.
-- extra selling as soon as civilian MBA from Wharton focusing on retail did you ever wanna get back -- the -- you know so much about it.
-- it's great I love being in the stores I -- walk in the mall I think it's.

Selling watches.

New York City, arguably the world's most vibrant and sprawling metropolis, occupies five boroughs, each with its own distinct identity. After all, before the historic 1898 consolidation, Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island were each independent municipalities.
Manhattan, home to the most recognizable sites, dominates popular perception of New York City. Its most famous districts are listed below:
Wall Street & the Financial District
New York's first district remains its most historic.
Long the national epicenter of African-American culture,
Greenwich Village
At the turn of the 20th Century,
East Village
Artists, students and young professionals have gone a long way towards gentrifying the long poor and multi-ethnic neighborhood. Even today, the artistic spirit that initially brought about change remains, evident in such vibrant cultural establishments as
Soho & Tribeca
Once home to massive factories, artists moved in and transformed the area into a bustling urban mecca. Galleries, designer shops, sophisticated restaurants and trendy bars followed soon after. Among many others in the area,
Lower East Side
This area once housed some of the city's worst slums, well-chronicled by the

Once a working class community, Chelsea has also become a posh address. As rents in Greenwich Village rose, the vibrant gay community moved upwards to occupy Chelsea's many brownstones and loft spaces. Others followed, and today it reflects all of New York's ethnic and cultural diversity. West Chelsea is home to many art galleries, and there are a number of great restaurants, such as
As the name implies, Midtown is smack in the middle of everything. Nobody is really sure where Midtown begins (most would say somewhere at the 30-block), but most agree it stops around

New York, a city of staggering contrasts, diversity and culture, ranks among history's great trade and cultural centers. From Wall Street to the United Nations, the world's most powerful and influential men and women prize success in New York above all other places. Its population hails from every country on the globe, bringing a variety of culture and viewpoints. However, above all else New York has always been about money and ambition.
Europe's first contact with this area occurred in 1524, when Italian explorer Giovanni de Verrazano viewed New York from the base of Manhattan. The following year, a Portuguese explorer named Esteban Gomez reached the Hudson River. Despite these early encounters, the Dutch settled in New York first, after explorer Henry Hudson lent his name to the world's largest tidal river. In 1625, six farms called "bouweries" were started in Manhattan.
The next year, Governor Peter Minuet purchased Manhattan from the Native Americans for USD24 worth of trinkets. By 1640, the predominately Dutch New Amsterdam (as it was then called) was teeming with the diversity of the New World, as the tolerant Dutch welcomed all.
Rapid expansion soon pitted early Dutch Manhattanites against English Puritans who had moved to the colony. Less than tolerant, the Puritans had banned bowling and even the celebration of Christmas. While initially seen as outsiders, the prosperous and hardworking Puritans soon had the political upper hand. After an invasion by British troops in 1664, an Anglo-Dutch treaty handed the city over to the English.
Under British rule, the renamed New York City saw its population grow from 6,000 to 20,000 by the end of the 17th Century. Events in Europe also brought turmoil to the city. Wars between England and France gave birth to privateering, or legalized piracy, that allowed the likes of Wall Street resident William Kidd to capture enemy ships off the coast of New York. During this time, New York City tolerated (and in some circles encouraged) the slave trade, and a large and prosperous slave market was located on Wall Street.
As the 18th Century wore on, England's passage of restrictive acts of trade and imposition of tariffs on the American colonies brought about protest and ultimately revolution. New York City was strategically vital during the American Revolutionary War. Early on, from Brooklyn to Harlem, General George Washington's army suffered a series of defeats and barely escaped capture. The British took the city and stationed troops there. At the end of the war, Washington was sworn in as the first president on the steps of New York's Federal Hall.
New York's stint as the United States capital was short-lived. Political wrangling dictated the newly created District of Columbia would be the new nation's capital. However, the 1792 founding of the New York Stock Exchange launched the city as a financial center.
Explosive expansion and revolutionary inventions in the 19th Century forever transformed New York City. The Erie Canal, in its day the world's greatest engineering feat, had New York's ports at its terminus and strengthened the city's position as a national trade center. Later, the city commissioned Central Park, designed and planned to save breathing space as the population boom moved uptown.
The American Civil War brought much sorrow and misery to New York, but also great prosperity as war profits soared. Yet, New York's status as a Union stronghold became threatened with the passage of the nation's first conscription act. Poor immigrants, angered that the wealthy could buy their way out of the draft, rioted violently.
As the century passed, New York displayed more technological marvels. A workforce thousands strong constructed the Brooklyn Bridge—then the tallest and longest in the world. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, and soon electric streetlights illuminated lower Manhattan. The Statue of Liberty, a gift from France, was erected near the Battery. The present St. Patrick's Cathedral was also built. At the end of the 19th Century, a string of palatial mansions rose along New York's Fifth Avenue.
At the same time, economic conditions in Europe brought massive immigration to New York City, primarily consisting of Irish, German, Italian and Eastern Europeans. Immigrants worked long hours under harsh conditions and lived in unhealthy tenements. Reformers, galvanized by the success of the abolitionist movement as well as the gaining momentum of the suffragist and temperance movements, actively joined the fight to assist the immigrant poor.
By the 1920s, all of Manhattan was populated. Harlem, which had started as a Dutch farm, now attracted New York African-Americans as well as those migrating from the South. Jazz and blues and Prohibition-era speakeasies made the neighborhood an entertainment mecca for all races. African-American musicians, artists and writers together formed a movement known as the Harlem Renaissance. On Broadway, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein along with George and Ira Gershwin led the popular music industry. The hedonistic decade ended however with a crash on Wall Street, leading to the Great Depression.
A backlash against corrupt politics ushered Fiorella LaGuardia into the mayor's office, and the city began to work its way out of the Depression. Robert Moses built parks and the Rockefellers erected Radio City Music Hall and Rockefeller Center.
New York emerged from the Depression and World War II with a new fervor for industry and construction. The United Nations complex started the post-war boom and was completed in the 1950s.
In 1972, a major change to the lower Manhattan skyline occurred with the completion of the World Trade Center, the 110-story structures commonly known as the "Twin Towers." On September 11, 2001 these towers fell—the result of a terrorist attack.
Since then, plans are well along for the construction of several new World Trade Center buildings on the site, as well as a September 11 museum and memorial. New Yorkers are uniting to build a better city than ever before. Fifth Avenue is still a bastion of the wealthy, and numerous other neighborhoods are home to yet another wave of immigration from Latin America, the Far East and Eastern Europe. New York still attracts hordes of ambitious people. Historian Peter Quinn, commenting on New York's nature, said the city that started with Peter Minuet's 24-dollar purchase is still the same, and if possible, even more so: "Donald Trump would have tried to pay 22 dollars."
To learn more about the city, here are just some of the places you may wish to look:
Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden
Ellis Island Immigration Museum
National Museum of the American Indian
New York Historical Society
Where to stay in New York City depends largely on what brings you here. Whether it is a Broadway show, a gallery opening or a business meeting, hotels and guest houses offer deluxe to budget accommodations throughout the city. For years, there was a huge shortage of hotel rooms in New York City. What existed was largely in the high-end price bracket, and most rooms were woefully small.
However, the once bleak lodging situation is rapidly changing. New hotels are springing up throughout Manhattan and even downtown Brooklyn. Townhouses converted into Bed & Breakfasts are also a growing option. While it can still be difficult to find a room on many weekends and even during the week, options have improved dramatically: luxury hotels with bigger rooms continue to open, and with all the competition, more affordable options have sprung up.
Choices abound throughout the city, but the following districts stand out:
Fifth Avenue - Midtown
Some of the most expensive hotels in the city are clustered along Fifth Avenue near the entrance to Central Park. This is an ideal location if you want to visit all of New York, as it is located squarely in the middle of the city. Famous deluxe palaces like Hotel St. Regis, Peninsula New York Hotel, The Plaza and the Sherry-Netherland Hotel are conveniently near luxury shops, museums and Midtown offices. A few blocks east, the W New York attracts young sophisticates with its modern luxury. On Park Avenue, the Waldorf-Astoria basks in legendary art deco opulence.
Grand Central - Midtown
Close to Grand Central Terminal, Bryant Park, the New York Public Library and a number of office buildings, the centrally located Grand Hyatt New York welcomes thousands of business travelers through its efficient and luxurious doors. A few blocks south, the slick Morgans Hotel lures in the chic and trendy. Similarly, the ultra-modern Royalton Hotel caters to the young and fabulous. Across the street, the historic Algonquin reminds visitors of a time when New York was the absolute epitome of decadence. For those looking to stay in the city on a budget, The Pod Hotel on East 51st Street offers very small yet upscale accommodations at nearly half the price of most other hotels.
Times Square - Midtown
For those wishing to soak up the spectacle of Broadway, Times Square offers numerous options for the busy traveler. Although the crowds of tourists that flock here throughout the year can seem overwhelming, there is plenty of entertainment available for those with a bit of time. The grand New York Marriott Marquis stands proudly in the center of it all, offering its guests a spectacular view. A block to the west, the Milford Plaza caters to the busy theatergoer.
Madison Square Garden - Midtown
Moving westward, the busy area in and around Madison Square Garden and Pennsylvania Station lures plenty of travelers, sport and music spectators, and Macy's shoppers. Moderate options like La Quinta Manhattan and the Hotel Pennsylvania exist alongside budget options like Hotel 31.
Chelsea & Gramercy
Although this area offers fewer choices than Midtown, many covet its proximity to downtown's nightlife and terrific shopping venues. It is also somewhat less crowded than many neighborhoods further uptown. The Bohemian Gershwin Hotel on Fifth Avenue South is popular with students and artists, while the historic (albeit slightly sinister) Chelsea Hotel draws a more diverse crowd. The Inn at Irving Place displays a charm and taste that is wonderfully Old New York.
Wall Street
For Wall Streeters (or would-be Wall Streeters) in town for business, as well as tourists desiring to be close to the Statue of Liberty, Battery Park and the South Street Seaport, there are plenty of options available here. Weekend rates tend to be excellent, since business travelers make up the majority of the hotel patrons.
So whatever neighborhood you end up choosing, there is sure to be a hotel to fit your personality. From the Soho Grand Hotel to The Carlyle, New York offers a large range of options. Just remember to book well in advance or you might end up having to stay somewhere outside of the city.
Despite all its diversity, New York City social life revolves around a single ritual—dining out. Whether it be a power broker paying hundreds for a meal at Asia de Cuba or a slacker scraping together some money for a pizza at Lombardi's, each experiences the city's unique culinary fusion. Add lively conversation with friends, and voilá!—you've found the real New York City. With the sheer number of ethnic influences, talented chefs making a name for themselves, hot spots, hidden gems, delis and diners—New York offers something for everyone's palate.
Diners enjoy gastronomic delights across the five boroughs, but the following districts are particularly noteworthy:
Old money dines at prestigious and elegant classics like 21 Club. Meanwhile, cell phones ring and young turks wheel and deal at hip locales like the China Grill. Superstar Jean-Georges Vongerichten reinvents fine dining at his eponymous Jean-Georges. For something completely different (but quintessentially Big Apple), true New Yorkers stop by the famous Carnegie Deli for a massive sandwich.
Hell's Kitchen
A few steps west of the Times Square tourist trap lies this former slum now transformed into an enclave of eclectic eateries, many ideal for pre- and post-theater dining. From the spicy and romantic Puttanesca to the family-run Chez Napoleon, there's something for everyone. You can also grab a bite at Five Napkin Burger. After, or even instead of the meal, the Cupcake Cafe supplies some of the best desserts in town.
Gramercy & Union Square
This notable area of fine dining boasts top-rated, understated establishments like the Gramercy Tavern and Union Square Cafe. A neighborhood rich in history, the landmark Pete's Tavern still draws a relaxing pint and serves up old-fashioned pub grub after over a century in the business.
West Village
World-class restaurants like the favorite Gotham Bar & Grill and the stunningly romantic One if by Land, Two if by Sea work their magic in the brownstones of this historic neighborhood. If you're craving delicious Italian food, try famous chef Mario Batali's restaurant and enoteca, Babbo. Other options in this neighborhood include some of the city's best falafel at Taim, and great brunch and coffee at the small French cafe, Tartine.
East Village
Funky, inexpensive ethnic restaurants and hip bars draw people here from all over the city. Well-known bargains like the Life Cafe are usually filled with local hipsters and students as well as visitors. Meanwhile, traces of old New York can still be found at the Lanza Restaurant.
Where the art world congregates, trendy dining establishments follow. The Mercer Kitchen serves some of the city's most innovative cuisine as the world's most fabulous people vie for tables there (not to mention a couple of blocks over at Balthazar). Elsewhere amongst the galleries and posh shops, black-clad sophisticates socialize at oh-so-very-Soho classics, Raoul's and Boom.
Among Tribeca's spectacular loft spaces, masterful restaurateur Drew Nieporant has created a mini-kingdom for himself, along with friend and investor Robert DeNiro. Nieporant offers diners amazing Japanese food at Nobu and New American cuisine at Tribeca Grill. For something outside Nieporant's empire, try the flashy Odeon or just sip champagne at the Bubble Lounge.
Little Italy
That's amore! Along bustling Mulberry Street, old-country restaurants blare Frank Sinatra into the street while barkers summon the crowds. For those who love red sauces with their pasta or veal, choices abound. From Pellegrino's to Casa Bella, it's difficult to go wrong. For pizza, Lombardi's serves some of the best pies in the city.
Like a trip to Asia but without leaving Manhattan, the scores of restaurants on Chinatown's dynamic streets offer every variety of Asian cuisine (often at bargain prices). For those in search of quality dumplings, Joe's Shanghai Restaurant is the place. Seeking Chinese-style barbecue? Big Wong King fits the bill; and if one craves noodles at three in the morning, New York Noodle Town always hits the mark.
What? Where's my Peter Luger, you say? Or what about the River Cafe with its glorious views? New York City's selection of amazing places to feast and imbibe is ever growing, ever changing and always exciting.
By keeping map refresh on, you will see new search results as you move the map.

The first 2-3 tubs of Craze worked awesome for me, the last ones has worked good/ok. I have bought all of mine from Predator Nutrition, a supplement company I trust. There has also been a lot of fake ones circulating here in Europe, I have friends that have tried Craze for the first time and not noticed much. The first time I tried Craze I felt like a million dollars, like the guy in "Limitless".. The first ones made my tongue and lips numb, just like something illegal I tried many many years ago... Maybe I have developed a tolerance for it, I have never tried more than 2 scoops?!?
Does anyone have a tub of Craze from the first batch laying around? If so, have anyone compared the effects to the batches released recently?
This is driving me nuts!

Cleanup will keep birds from getting hooked
Date: October 13, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
The first Monofilament Cleanup Day will take place from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 17, beginning at Save Our Seabirds, 1708 Ken Thompson Parkway.
The event is sponsored by Sarasota Bay Watch, Audubon of Florida and Save Our Seabirds, and aims to cleanup fishing line, which, when left behind, can become entangled on Sarasota Bay's bird-nesting islands and shorelines, posing a fatal hazard to birds and other wildlife.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologists identify monofilament fishing line as the No. 1 killer of adult brown pelicans.
"The birds face increasing pressures from habitat loss, storm damage and predation," said Mark Rachal, Audubon of Florida Field Biologist, in a prepared statement.
Birds usually become entangled in fishing line in one of three ways: They become hooked in the beak, gullet, wing or leg when pursuing an angler's bait or lure. Second, because birds line their nests with fine materials, they sometimes collect discarded monofilament snarls. Lastly, fishermen sometimes cast lines near a bird colony and snag a mangrove. The fisherman cuts the line when unable to retrieve it, and the line hangs over the canopy and becomes an invisible snare.
"The monofilament cleanup is a great way for community members to get involved in helping the environment, all while spending a day on the water," said John Ryan, president of Sarasota Bay Watch, in a prepared statement.
Volunteers are needed for the event. To register, contact Colleen Adler at 955-5333. For information, contact Kathy Meaux at 809-8858 or Mark Rachal at 813-623-6826.

I'm planning on building a new system, it will be used for CAD(SolidWorks, Zemax, etc), maybe PhotoShop/Illustrator, watching HD movies, and other general computing tasks. It will not be used for gaming. I do not plan on overclocking. The main objectives are to run the programs I listed, be compatible with new programs as long as possible, use high quality upgradable parts and keep the cost reasonable(<$1000). I was wondering what people thought of the components I've come up with and if there are any incompatibilities or suggestions people have. I also need advice on a cheap (~$20) DVD player/writer and was wondering if I should wait on the Quadro 600 for the new Kepler chip? Lian Li PC-7H case $120 Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard $115 Intel i5-3470 $190 PNY VCQ600-PB Quadro 600 $150 Corsair 1x8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM $48 Crucial M4 256GB SSD $170 Seasonic G-550 power supply $86 Thanks, David
get an FX 8350 with the Gigabyte GA 970A UD3 the CPU will be better for 3d rendering, for only 9$ more. also, i feel AMD platforms a bit more "snippy" in CAD. CPU: FX 8350 $199.99 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A UD3 $114.99 memory CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) $48.99 SSD Crucial M4 256GB SSD $170 AMD 100-505649 FirePro V4900 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Workstation Video Card X2 $320 (crossfire) SeaSonic S12II 430B 430W ATX12V V2.3/EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply $59.99 NZXT Source 210 S210-001 Black "Aluminum Brush / Plastic" ATX Mid Tower Computer Case $39.99 with the money left over you can buy 90CFM fans from CoolerMaster for the nzxt case.
Thanks for the advise de.das.dude! I have a few comments and questions about the components; CPU: FX 8350 ($200) vs Intel i5-3470 ($190) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A UD3 ($115) vs Asus P8Z77-V LX ($115) Video: AMD FirePro v4900 ($160) vs Nvidia Quadro 600 $150 Having a hard time comparing these. One hand the Intel/Nvidia stuff seems to have a larger user base, maybe better driver support, and "more advanced" architecture. On the other hand AMD seems to have "better" specs. I'm sure this is an on going debate, any other opinions on these two options for CAD applications? Also could you use the i5-3470 with the v4900 and still use crossfire? Would I need the Asus P8Z77-V LK? Memory: CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) ($48.99) vs Corsair 1x8GB (PC3 12800) DDR3 1600MHz RAM ($44) Sorry I should have been more specific, the memory I am looking at is; "Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CML8GX3M1A1600C10)" it actually sells for $44 on amazon. It is faster, cheaper and only takes up one slot compared to the XMS3. Let me know if I am missing something. SSD: Crucial M4 256GB SSD $170 PSU: SeaSonic S12II ($59) vs Seasonic G-550 ($86) You just saved me $27, thanks! I'm sure 430W will be plenty. Case: NZXT Source 210 ($40) vs Lian Li PC-7H ($120) I'm sure the Lian Li case is not worth the extra $80 but I'm not sure if I can resist. I figure I could reuse this case once the other components are obsolete but maybe by then there will be different standards in cases and how things mount?
David, if you live in US and have a microcenter by you, get the i7 3570K or 3770K. They have in store specials on them... The 3770K would be the call for your system if you can fit it in a $1000 budget.
I run inventor fine on my computer if that helps any. I have also ran 3D Max, Pro/E(Creo), Maya and all raytrace plugins can render quite fast.
drdeathx: Thanks for the tip! $230 for a i7 3770K seems like a great deal! Unfortunately I do not live close to a Miro Center and it doesn't look like they offer mail order. v12dock: Yes I'm sure I could get away with a standard video card, I might not even use a video card at first and see how that works. If/when I do buy a video card though I want one that is supported for the major CAD programs (ie SolidWorks, AutoCAD) so I get the specialized drivers and don't have to wonder if problems I'm having come from a video card incompatibility. I guess another requirement I failed to mention was the ability to run dual monitors, though I think that's pretty standard.
I have two computers built in the NZXT Source 210 cases and I'm very happy with the case. For $40, it is really an unbeatable bargain. It doesn't have an unnecessary flashy plastic design, it's simply a box. Cable management is great; with a non-modular PSU it takes some work (storing cables beside the hard drive cage) but with a modular power supply it's really easy. There are so many fan mounts (although I do suggest buying some more--the one it comes with isn't really enough). As far as Intel vs AMD goes, I think that this is pretty much the best use for one of the AMD FX-8 CPUs. You get twice as many cores for just a little bit more. I am suspicious of the two FirePro cards that d.d.d suggested--I've never seen that done before. Maybe someone else can clarify. For the DVD drive, you can't go wrong with something like this
Here is what I would get hands down. EDIT: I've got the v5700 card and it's a very fast card. I use Solidworks 2012 (Just got 2013, but haven't installed it), AutoCAD Inventor, and AutoCAD 09,10.
I agree, but not for $1000 dollars. I'd pick intel to if money wasn't limited to $1000. I'd also, pick my 970 over the build I suggested, but my i7 970 CPU was over $500 new.. and I believe I was agreeing with you that if he can get someone to pick him up a 3770k at microcenter do that.. (+1)... I have both Intel and AMD as well.
if he can get a 3770K shipped only about $100 difference or maybe less. Intel has better sata controller, memory latencies and PCIe 3.0.
Mindweaver: How do I get in contact with someone from the FS section to see if they could pick me up a i7-3770K? That would be awesome! If I were to get the i7-3770k which graphics card would you recommend between a AMD FirePro V4900 and a PNY Nvidia Quadro 600? I think I misunderstood d.d.d's recommendation before and thought he meant to use a single v4900 crossfire with the CPU integrated GPU. I don't think I need 2 video cards crossfired. But if you could cross fire the v4900 with the i7-3700k I could be interested (though I think it will mean I would have to step up to the Asus P8Z77-V LK).
For CAD use like SolidWorks, Creo (Pro/e), Solid Edge, having an OpenGL graphics card is ideal. The prices have dropped big time in the past 6 months for the 1.0GB NVIDIA Quadro 2000. A NVIDIA Quadro 3800 was just released the end of last year. For heavy CAD use for NX, Catia, ANSYS Design Modeler, the 2.5GB NVIDIA Quadro 5000 or 5800 is sweet using dual 27-in monitors. The NVIDIA Quadro 600 is already out. Dell offers it as one of their low end workstation cards on the Dell Precision T3600 series. If you are building a machine to do generic CAD work or work on the side for machine shops, CAE or whatever lite duty, $1K is a nearly bare bones CAD station. My dad built one back in 2006 for $2K. $2K can get a really nice machine today.
AMD processors are great in multi threaded operations. and CAD is a fine example of multi threaded operations. as you can see in the benchmark i linked to. AMD scores higher than the intel you need to keep buy a crossfire motherboard. Also there is a thing called "dual channel memory" which is utilized in mordern CPUs, this means that using two of that particulat kit infact increases the performance of your RAM greatly. so 2X4Gb is always better than 1X8Gb. and hence the dual tone coloring of the RAM slots. so its definitely worth the difference the V4900 is much better than the one you mentioned. and Lian Li cases are overprice stuff. they are just not worth it. only people with too much money can buy those. You can buy the Nzxt cases, they are exceptionally cheap, reliable, and have good quality. If you dont like their designs you can also go for the recently launched Fractal Design ARc MIdi II. its also a great case. And the scope of ventilattion on the nzxt and fractal is endless, its got dual 140mm top fan mounts, front dual 120mm, and a rear 120mm. it also has provision on the side panel as well. one thing i forgot to mention is that if you want to crossfire i think it would be better to go for a 500W PSU, corsair CX500 is a good PSU, and i have used it on many of my builds.
oh nice. yeah, its only worth it if he can get the microcenter deal. those are the shit. else as mindreaver stated, intel is not worth it for an under 1000$ budget.
true, but the only portion he will need to change is the GPU. if he gets a GPU for another 1K, he is set.
8GB of RAM isn't a lot of memory for what you're trying to achieve. You've got a budget of $1,000 and memory is at it's cheapest. I wouldn't settle for anything less than 16GB of RAM. It cost less than 1/10 of your budget.
Don't discount buying a quadro on eBay either...it's worth a look. I've picked up the 600's for a C note on more than a few occasions. For what we use(financial software), the NVS 300 is enough, usually run about $30 a piece and might actually be a decent substitute card if you're waiting for a new one to be released? These 300's drive 2 24" monitors with ease. Excellent display characteristics(crisp, clear pictures and text) in 2D - as well. I like the recommendation of at least a 3570k and 16gb's of memory. Seasonic's a solid power supply and 400w is more than enough for your specs listed. Newegg is nice, but Superbiiz routinely offers discounts on parts, I've picked up Seasonic's there for decent prices. Samsung is making decent SSD's in the 830/840 series...if the price is right they are worth a look, not to mention their low profile DDR3 1600 memory in black PCB's. Great Stuff...very flexible. Also, when building a business rig for the office...a Lian Li, while nice seems a little excessive. We use the Silverstone PS-07's with great success, they're 78. on Amazon. And a little step up is the TJ-08B-E for 99. They're worthy of at least a look. Although...I do have to admit, I like the PS-07's the most, because they remind me of the HP MicroTowers(MT) I grew up with. You didn't mention a monitor here, perhaps you already have one. If not the Samsung 650 business line and Dell's Professional units are where I'd start. Dell's P series can also be bought from the outlet...I've ordered dozens and dozens without hassle. When you throw in a 15% coupon they can get pretty cheap. Have had very good luck with the U2311's, and the P2412H's. All have come new in appearance and function. Best, Liquid Cool
>anyone over the age of 13 with an NZXT case Anyway. I recommend the Bitfenix Prodigy Cheap, good build quality, and tasteful.
I respect your an AMD fan but Intel is worth it.... and you can build a great 3570K for under $1000. I own both AMD and Intel. Intel= better Sata controller which is faster sata speeds, PCIe 3.0 plus better memory latencies
meh. where on earth would you need PCIe 3.0? and yes i AMDs memory controller is horrible. intel is wanted but not needed can i buy a plot on the moon? yes its legal now, but wtf.

The Buena Vista women's soccer team made history yet again as it started a season unbeaten through the first three games for the first time in school history, as it finished in a 2-2 (2OT) tie against Nebraska Wesleyan, on Wednesday night.
Playing under the lights for the first time this season, the Beavers fell behind 1-0 nearly seven minutes into the contest before junior Shelby Ripperger evened things up midway through the period.
The Prairie Wolves (0-1-1) regained the lead at 2-1 at nearly the 40-minute mark before freshman Tori Carson kicked through what proved to be the game's final goal just one minute later.
Both teams threatened throughout the second half and both overtime periods, but each goalie chalked up their share of nice saves.
Each team finished with 15 shots with senior Kellyn Arnold recording five of those, including four on-goal, for the Beavers. Ripperger was next with three.
Defensively, freshman Nicole Smith made her collegiate debut and went the distance, while tallying six saves.
Buena Vista (2-0-1) is back in action on Saturday afternoon when it travels to Illinois College for a 12:00pm road contest. The team will then return home on Sunday afternoon for a 3:00pm non-conference meeting with Grinnell College.

We're Better Off Without Seasonally Adjusted Housing Stats
Posted by Jonathan J. Miller -Monday, January 9, 2012, 9:58 AM
Comments Off
I've been outspoken about the misuse of seasonal adjustments in housing statistics. While they are not all bad and are favored by economists for their ability to smooth out a year's worth of information so one can see where greater than normal changes stand out, there cause more harm than good when it comes to understanding housing.
The basic problem with seasonally adjusting the numbers are as follows:
- there is no standardized methodology or period for making the adjustments
- the adjustments are rarely disclosed
- they often adjust already adjusted numbers (i.e. annualizing NAR existing home sales)
- the reader often doesn't understand what it is
- while it may be useful for analysis, the results often contradict current conditions
and most importantly…
- the adjustments become skewed shortly after a significant market change.
As discussed in this Fed research piece on "…seasonality gone awry":
While seasonally adjusted data can be extremely helpful, they should be used with care. In particular, the statistical methods used for seasonal adjustment may generate misleading results when applied to data with structural breaks, where the underlying properties of the data change significantly during the period studied.
Case in point is the National Association of Realtor's Pending Home Sales Index that has basically been a mess for the past 18 months after the expiration of the federal home buyer's tax credit. The disparity between the indices. The NAR press releases sharply contradict the feeling on the street with agents, buyers and sellers, marginalizing the meaning of the report results.

DC Shorts showcases the largest audience-driven collection of short films in the USA. Now in our 9th year, we expect hundreds of filmmakers and thousands of audience members mix, mingle and explore the world of short cinema.
DC Shorts is unique among film festivals, as we entries to read the feedback and scores from the judging panels a point which impressed MovieMaker Magazine to name us as one of 20 festivals worth an entry fee, and one of the leading film festivals in the country year after year!
The DC Shorts Film Festival (September 6-16, 2012) turns the spotlight on truly independent short films, created by new and established filmmakers in an era when the art of filmmaking is opening to all. We select films of every genre and niche for our competition screenings with a special focus on films created by metropolitan Washington, DC-based directors and writers. After each screening, filmmakers have the opportunity to speak to the audience as part of a moderated panel.
The DC Shorts Screenplay Competition (October 2012) is a very different kind of screenwriting competition. A panel of judges consisting of filmmakers, screenwriters and critics will review and provide coverage (feedback) for scripts of 15 pages or less. 5-7 finalists will be featured during ScriptDC the regions largest screenwriting conference where their scripts will be read in front of a live audience and one will walk away with $2,000 to shoot their project! If the script is shot and completed by the deadline, it will be automatically included as an official selection for the 2013 DC Shorts Film Festival.

When the Prince Albert community is discussed, the phrase "comes with its challenges" is commonly heard.
© Herald photo by Tyler Clarke
An evening prayer group is seen during a meeting at the Beulah Land Baptist Church on Saturday — one of a handful of groups praying for a Christian revival in the Prince Albert area.
When the Prince Albert community is discussed, the phrase "comes with its challenges" is commonly heard.
A group of local Christians stand alongside countless other group and individual efforts mandated with overcoming these challenges. They offer a unique spiritual solution, with a Christian revival.
"It will affect the community in a positive way socially, morally, economically, politically," local pastor David Webster explained.
"People stop doing bad things — immoral things. They will turn back to a morality based on the principles in the Bible … The alcohol and drug problem would be annihilated. The courts would empty (and) the jails would empty."
Retired pastor and educator Howard Rensberry explained the current situation using a seasonal metaphor, wherein we're stuck in the cold of winter.
"Then, spring comes — the snow and the ice goes and the birds come, and the leaves on the trees come," he said. "That's revival! If we were to be consistent, we need revival in the spiritual realm, too."
On a spiritual level, a Christian revival would eliminate the city's challenges, he said, citing crime in the city as a symptom of these challenges.
"You know how the drug situation is in Prince Albert — it's really sick," he said. "When people get right with God, sin, it its many forms, is taken care of."
A small group of Christians met on Saturday night to pray for a Christian revival, joining countless other groups from across the city, nation and world praying for the same thing.
In Melfort, pastor Jeff Goudy heads a similar group, with sights set on a localized or national revival.
Revival, he explains, "means to bring back to life, and sometimes Christians and churches can start to lack life and reality, so that we are just 'going through the motions' in our walk with God."
"It seems like all of life has a tendency to go downhill, unless you're diligent and disciplined," Rensberry said. "That's not just in church life — spiritual life — but it's in other walks of life too."
It's this slow easing into a more relaxed and less engaged lifestyle that makes a Christian revival necessary, Rensberry said, adding, "We need to be revived — rejuvenated."
People stop doing bad things — immoral things. They will turn back to a morality based on the principles in the Bible … The alcohol and drug problem would be annihilated. The courts would empty (and) the jails would empty. Beulah Land Baptist Church pastor David Webster
History is dotted with Christian revival, Webster noted, with revival resulting in Prince Albert we know it today. Rev. James Nisbet, who has been credited with founding Prince Albert as a missionary, arrived along the bank of the North Saskatchewan River on July 26, 1866.
"What's really interesting, is that Rev. Nisbet came to Prince Albert when there was a revival in Ontario — one of the biggest revivals of American history, and there were missionaries going everywhere with this fervor in their heart," Webster said. "I really believe that James Nisbet was one of them."
To bring about another such wide-spread revival, prayer must come first, Rensberry said, with prayer groups popping up all over the world in hopes of initiating revival.
"We won't see revival without prayer," he said. "True praying, with deep feelings about where we are in our condition. True, honest, heartfelt praying is what I'm talking about here."
"Revivals often start in individual hearts and can spread to influence whole nations," Goudy said.
"Revival is always preceded by prayer … When we see the moral decline and confusion in Canada today, we believe that revival is the key to turning around for good."
Just how realistic it is that a Christian revival will take place, in either a large or smaller form, depends on who you talk to, but it's a commonly-held belief that it will take lots of work to get there.
"Christianity is not a very popular subject in our present day — it really isn't," Webster said.
"We live in a bit of a quagmire of religious confusion today. The only way we could ever have it is a miracle."
More people are always invited to join the group's prayer meetings, which take place every Wednesday morning at the Community Bible Church at 7 a.m., and at the Beulah Land Church on Saturdays at 9 p.m.

GAUGES, TENSION, AND THE Core-to-Wrap ratio
Guitarists are typically used to thinking about string tension—that is, how easy or difficult a set of strings is to play—in terms of gauge. For instance, tuned to high E, a plain .011 string has more tension than a .009 made of the same material—a fact our fingers can easily confirm. However, when it comes to wound strings, there's more to the question of tension and feel than meets the eye. It's true that, tuned to low E, a .048 string feels tighter than a .046. But can there be a difference in tension between .046 strings made by different companies, assuming they're on identical guitars and tuned to the same pitch?
The answer is yes, and although the differences may be subtle, it's an area worth exploring. As you can see when you clip a wound string and peer at its cross section, it comprises two elements: the core wire and wrap wire. To achieve a given string gauge, manufacturers may vary the ratio between these two wires. One brand may have a thicker core and thinner wrap, while another may use a slightly thinner core but make up the difference in diameter by using a bigger wrap.
These differences affect feel, explains Eric Cocco, vice-president ofLaBella Strings. "The tension of a musical string can be adjusted bysimply combining different core and wrap wires. This can also be variedby using different tensile strength for the core and wrap wires. As anexample, an electric guitar gauge of .042 can be made by using a .016core and a .013 wrap wire. Another way of building that string couldbe with a .019 core and a .0115 wrap. The gauge would be the same—.042—but the string with the .019 core would be much stiffer."The core-to-wrap ratio also impacts tone. "You want a sig-nificant mass on the winding," says Jason Everly, president ofCleartone Strings, "because that's what makes the sound waves. Thethicker the mass of the wrap, relative to the size of the string, themore audible low-end frequencies you're going to get. You're try-ing to get close to a 1-to- 1 ratio between core and wrap wires—atleast on an acoustic string—but that's difficult because the wrapwire will shear the core wire when you reach that ratio. So that'sthe game, and everyone has their own top-secret formula as to howthey overcome this and how they adjust for it." If you're interested in fine-tuning your guitar's playability andtone, it pays to experiment. Companies put a lot of thought intohow they manufacture wound strings, and the core-to-wrap ratio isan important factor in their designs. —Andy Ellis
the Straight Truth About Pickups by Jason Lollar
This was more like the dragon chasing us–over the years it's been one of our most requested pickup designs. Of course, we had to add our own twists, including sizing it to drop into a standard humbucker route. A2 magnets, custom covers, lot's of attitude.
Starting with a '60s Country Gentleman as a benchmark, we went after the classic rock-a-billy 'bucker tone, adding some "Lollar" along the way. The neck pickup is warm and buttery, with a clear, present top end. The bridge pickup is fat and honky, with a rich, defined low end. Combined, they sparkle and spank with clarity and punch. They'll cover everything from "OZ" rock to "Nashville Super Pickers" to "Hot Rods and Hot Babes…" Go Man, Go!
I've personally design over a hundred different pickup models, including most of the vintage classics, some obscure works of art from steel guitars to clavinets, and even a few of my own designs that have never existed in the past.
I invite you to visit our website for sound clips, videos and current product information or feel free to give us a call.

Product 29/37
Soylent Red
by Jamieson Wolf
Owen is a schizophrenic with multiple personality disorder. Inside of him are three other personalities that fill up his waking and dreaming hours.
Residing inside of the Sunny Dale Rest Facility, Owen, at his doctors urging, begins to chronicle the pieces of his past with a black leather journal and a felt tip pen. She believes that through writing, and through movies, memories can be triggered and Owen can be cured.
But then the other personalities within him start writing for themselves. When people begin to die in the SunnyDale Rest Facility, Dr. Miranda Stapleton knows that Owen may be responsible, but she is willing to do anything to hide Owen's secret. But it is not Owen who is responsible. It is someone inside of him…
Told entirely in patient assessments, journal entries, poetry, pictures and pop culture references, Soylent Red is a dark descent into a human mind and one personalities quest to live beyond the skin.
After all, what is a little blood and death if you can live forever?

I didn't know who you guys were 10 mins ago but after listening to a song, I've concluded that Winter Crescent is great.
I didn't know who you guys were 10 mins ago but after listening to a song, I've concluded that Winter Crescent is great.
Updated the OP to reflect the addition of Battle of Egos Intro. There will be no 2x Bass Pedal version due to insufficient kicks.
With this addition, we can now say we are bringing the "Battle of Egos" demo to RBN in its entirety. That would be our second ever announced full album! (The first being Shylo Elliott's "Proof of Concept," which is four song releases away from completion!)
Paolo Viteri, CEO/Lead Author
For the moment at least, it will not be. We still have yet to receive stems for the intro, and Part I has already been completed and put into playtesting. We'll explore all our options, but chances are high that the intro will be a separate song and the ending of the intro made so it doesn't stop suddenly. I'll know more once stems are in our hands.
Paolo Viteri, CEO/Lead Author
Alrighty then.
Hopefully it can all work out with putting it with Part 1. Not to mention it'd also been sort of dumb paying 80-160msp just for an "intro". Even if it is a 3 or so minutes long.
8/9/11 (Def Leppard) will be marked as the best day in RB history for me. HMX, major thanks for all this amazing DLC you put out!
Two new things to talk about today:
-"Battle of Egos Intro" by Winter Crescent will be a separate song on its own, and will not have a 2x Bass Pedal version. It, as well as all Winter Crescent tracks from "Battle of Egos," will be 80 points. The Intro is a full song in its own right, spanning almost 4 minutes and featuring some great instrument work and some awesome harmonies. I can assure you the song is definitely worth the price on its own.
-"Expert Mode" by LeetStreet Boys is out today! For only 80 points, grab this awesome song featuring blistering keys, two face-melting guitar solos, and epic vocal harmonies! The band is running a promotional campaign which includes a story arc for their webcomic based on the song! Go check that out, it's pretty cool.
Hope to have more announcements for you guys soon!
Paolo Viteri, CEO/Lead Author
8/9/11 (Def Leppard) will be marked as the best day in RB history for me. HMX, major thanks for all this amazing DLC you put out!
So glad to see you got LeetStreet Boys. I hope you guys can get Yuri The Only One For Me or Guitar Hero Hero

Me and Cipher are pals
Jibs has an awesome taste in music
I got the song "Expert Mode" and I think it's an ok song, but I only got it because I thought it'd be difficult on expert guitar because it's devil tiered on guitar but I was dissapointed and I'm just saying this because I don't like it when people over tier songs on guitar IMO (maybe it's not overtiered to some people) but if this is devil tiered - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK-Npth4o7g then shouldn't it look something like this in guitar difficulty - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8NOW6-ccfE

Well, that opens a whole can of worms. What should contacts software be able to do?
jabailo - I'm fairly luddite when it comes to payment technology. It's not that I'm against NFC and payment by apps, it's just that I haven't gotten around to figuring out how to use them.
I'm well on my way to being the 2030s equivalent of the old person who holds up the whole line at the grocery store because they insist on writing a check.
Hi jabailo (John),
I've experienced the same reactions when I've used Google Wallet. Assuming the POS terminal works, the cashiers and other customers sometimes stare in amazement and ask what I did.
I'm not a big coffee drinker and I'm not a fan of Starbucks roasts, but I'm surprised that Starbucks can't look up a loyalty card based on one's phone number. That really is primitive.
By the way, for loyalty cards, credit cards and other numbers, I store them in BlackBerry's Password Keeper app which uses AES encryption, so I have the information if I haven't taken the appropriate card.
Hi Mitch Wagner,
I like Evernote, but I really do look towards the future and think today's contacts software is quite primitive compared to what it should be able to accomplish. Of course, you could say that about many things, including me!
It's funny who is using what these days.
For example, I was just at Starbucks. I didn't have my Rewards card (which gives me points everytime I buy there) so I asked the counter person if she could look it up by phone number. No she said, eventhough she has a state of the art IBM Pos workstation! I quipped that every local supermarket can do that.
Another one is the Near Field Readers on credit card swipers. It's like this lost technology they installed in some places and forgot about. For example, I went into RiteAid and used one, and the cashier was shocked. "How'd you do that!?" so I explained it to her. In general, using it produces awe, like using a magic wand. Many times the NFR is there but broken or disconnected.
Are you thinking of mood rings? :)
BTW, the Evernote Hello app isn't so you can identify people when you meet them again. It's basically an address book app; it's designed to let you get in touch with people later.
Good idea.
I seem to remember reading a science fiction novel years ago where people walked around with various colored shapes above their heads that indicated their emotional state. No Internet or social networking profiles, though, so it's not sufficiently data-dense.
I want life to be like Second Life, where everybody walks around with their name floating above their head. You right-click on their avatar, it calls up their profile.
Supposedly if you use a person's name frequently, you're more likely to remember it, jabailo. I'm not sure if that actually works, jabailo. I've never tried it, jabailo.
The iPhone has an app called "Bump" that lets you exchange contact information by tapping phones together. I've never really used it.
In some techie circles, business cards are obsolete. You just Google the people you want to contact, or look them up on Twitter.
Yes. Mixing Facebook and business raises larger issues. People let their hair down on Facebook, but people often don't want to do business with hair-let-down people.
One of my favorite people on social media has a real potty-mouth, and frequently uses crazy profile photos on Twitter. But her LinkedIn profile is very professional, as is her profile photo there, where she's wearing a suit and is made up and ready for business.

Great case for anyone interested in trying mini-ITX building. Takes full ATX PSU, very nice feature!
Yes it is a nice case but it is on the large side for the mini-ITX form factor.

Lian makes some nice small mini-ITX cases that use full size power supplies, I've built several. BB listed some for $35 after rebate this spring. If you really want small this Coller Master seems to defeat the purpose of mini-ITX but if you don't mind the size this isn't a bad case for $30.
Makes a very nice media center PC. Capacity for multiple hard drives, and a big cooling fan right at the front to keep airflow moving over the drives. One hint - use a modular power supply so you don't wind up with too much cable clutter over the motherboard . like I did.

It's well-established that despite digital's rise over the past decade, spend on online ads is still disproportionately lower than where it should be in theory.
While there's reason to believe that spend will catch up, the shift of budgets to digital isn't coming fast enough for many publishers and ad networks -- something that is becoming particularly noticeable when it comes to mobile and video.

It's hard to find a market today that isn't being impacted by the rapid growth in mobile usage. Smartphone penetration continues to hit new milestones and executives in just about every industry are trying to figure out how to capture the mobile opportunities that increasingly seem within reach.
Just how big are these opportunities?
by Patricio Robles 12 September 2012 14:47pm 3 comments
With smartphone usage skyrocketing in key global markets, one thing is clear: mobile is the future, and the future is here.
Not surprisingly, everyone is rushing to capitalize on the significant opportunities that mobile is creating.
Publishers are trying to make sure they have attractive mobile offerings that produce compelling mobile ad inventory that advertisers are increasingly looking to snap up.

Android shopping apps provide greater user satisfaction than iPad apps, and almost half of mobile users have clicked an ad on a mobile site.
These are two of the more surprising findings from Adobe's Mobile Consumer Survey 2012, which surveyed more than 1,200 US mobile users in March.
It found that Android devices lead the way in overall popularity at 51% followed by iPhones at 38%.
The numbers for Android devices are skewed even higher for the young age group at 58%, showing that marketers must ensure that their sites are equally optimised for apps and web browsers via Android devices as they are for iOS devices.
Here are a few more findings from the Adobe report.

Facebook's blockbuster IPO was, by most measurements, did not live up to expectations. Marred by NASDAQ trading glitches and accusations that Facebook and its investment bankers pulled a fast one on retail investors, the world's largest social network may have the dubious distinction of having one of the largest and at the same time most disappointing IPOs of all time.
Yesterday, Facebook had the opportunity to make amends by producing a strong second quarter earnings report. Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly of what it delivered.

Wall Street may be done beating up Facebook shares, at least for the time being, but the world's largest social network still faces significant challenges.
One of the biggest and most talked about: skyrocketing mobile usage that is making it more difficult for the company to monetize its massive audience.
by Patricio Robles 20 June 2012 18:33pm 1 comment
One of the many reasons Facebook's share price has fallen substantially in the wake of the company's IPO is that investors are questioning whether the world's largest social network will be able to figure out how to make money from the rapidly growing number of users accessing Facebook through mobile devices.
But another future IPO candidate, Twitter, may have problems too but mobile monetization isn't apparently one.

What's cooler than spending $1bn on a mobile photo sharing app?
The answer: spending $1bn on a mobile photo service and then launching your own mobile photo sharing app service weeks later.

The future may be mobile, but capitalizing on the mobile opportunity hasn't exactly been easy for many publishers and advertisers.
As companies like Facebook and Twitter are learning the hard way, delivering effective ads to consumers through mobile devices can be tough.
Despite the fact that mobile devices are always on and always connected, they have natural limitations which restrict where and how many ads can be served.
