Right in the Kisser: Today's Oral Care Packs a One-Two Punch
by Meisel, Melissa
Household & Personal Products Industry
Feb, 2008
MANY CONSUMERS believe that brighter, whiter teeth make one look younger, healthier, even savvier. For some, prepping for a special occasion has come to include a new outfit or hairstyle, day at a spa and even dental procedures. And what once could only be done at a DDS office has now taken shape in a variety of oral care SKUs available at the neighborhood CVS.
Sales of toothpaste alone totaled $1.4 billion in U.S. supermarkets, drugstores and mass merchandisers excluding Wal-Mart, according to Information Resources, Inc. (IRI) for the year ended Nov. 4, 2007. Factor in mouthwash ($675 million) and toothbrushes/dental accessories ($1.3 billion) and oral care sales soar to $3.3 billion.
According to a 2007 Packaged Facts report, "Oral Care in the U.S.," there is an extensive overlap between categories and segments in the industry. Marketers actively develop and launch products positioned on multiple attributes–i.e., mouthwash that improves breath while removing tobacco stains or electric toothbrushes that double as flossing agents.
Packaged Facts projects that the U.S. oral care market will achieve relatively steady growth during 2006-2012, finishing the period at nearly $8.9 billion at retail. The total advance for 2006-2012 will be 17.6%, or more than $1.3 billion. However, when the future of the overall market is considered by category, only the projection for the gum/mouthwash/breath freshener category can be interpreted as truly positive. A lot has to do with a multitude of flavor and ingredient options angled toward a gourmand palette.
Flavor of the Month
Flavor has always been a staple in most oral care products' marketability. Classic mint selections have given way to a barrage of exotic, even fruity tastes in toothpaste and mouth rinses. Tom's of Maine's chief operating officer Tom O'Brien points to citrus blends, vanilla and high-intensity flavor concepts like Colgate's Max Fresh and Crest Expressions as the latest in flavor trends for 2007.
Dr. Simon W. Rosenberg, Center for High Tech Dentistry, New York, NY, points to the basics as recent patient preferences: "For polishing paste, it's been mint (90% of his clients) or grape (10%)–no one seems to want the bubblegum, chocolate, raspberry or other exotic favors."
Some say that the naturals boom is broadening the horizon in oral care formulas, as certain ingredients feature health benefits. Dr. Harold Katz of Beverly Hills, CA, founder of the California Breath Clinics and inventor of the TheraBreath Oral Care System, tells HAPPI that while mint has always been popular, marketers are seeing an increasing demand for natural essential oils of mint like peppermint and spearmint.
"It's because natural essential oils, besides tasting great, also kill bad breath bacteria. Furthermore, there is no strange after taste with essential oils versus artificial mint flavorings," says Dr. Katz.
Dr. Katz also notes that traditional Eastern flavors such as cinnamon, vanilla and clove are also gaining popularity in oral care products, as they help to stimulate saliva, which naturally keeps the breath fresh.
Ultimately, savory flavors may convince a consumer to sample a product, says Dr. Katz. However, "we find that consumers are now more educated and are mostly concerned with results. So, if a mouthwash tastes great, but does not eliminate bad breath, consumers will abandon it for what really works."
All About Ingredients
While some may be drawn to oral care products based strictly on flavor, other consumers are interested in what the product can do for them–such as whitening, fresh breath, cavity and tartar protection, or gingivitis prevention delivered by an assortment of different ingredients, notes Tonia Elrod, external relations manager Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati, OH. She says that P&G offers such a wide selection of oral care products because all of its products are specifically designed to meet unmet consumer needs: "For example, a consumer who loves new experiences and wants to make brushing fun might choose our Lemon Ice or Vanilla Mint toothpaste, while a consumer who wants to prevent gum disease might choose Crest Pro-Health because of its proprietary Polyfluorite System."
Michael Apa, cosmetic dentist, Rosenthal Apa Group, New York, NY, concurs that ingredients encourage the market to sway toward select SKUs, as "consumers are buying oral care products based more likely on ingredients than on flavors. These consumers now look for an active bleaching ingredient, hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide."
According to Dr. Apa, fluoride also is an important component in the daily oral care routine: "Consumers have suddenly realized that flouride is not meant to be used twice a year in large doses. Most of the bestselling mouth rinses are leaning away from alcohol base, which is bad for gum tissue, and into the flouride base, which protects teeth against cavities. Researchers have now discovered fluoride can actually stop small cavities from getting bigger."
Infused with fluoride or not, premium oral care continues to dominate the market. "People are leaving the alcohol-based, burning mouthwashes and sweet, flavored toothpastes that were popular with their parents' generation and are paying more attention to the quality of their oral care products. They want all-natural ingredients, non-irritating formulas, and effective products that actually kill germs and reduce gum problems. We are also seeing that consumers are being more faithful to brushing and rinsing at night again. This is a terrific development," says Dr. Katz.
Health and Wellness
The beauty and health worlds are more entwined than ever before, as the mass market seeks to achieve outer beauty from the inside out. An example is the March 2008 launch of the new Crest Healthy Radiance Toothpaste System, a set of daily toothpaste and weekly deep cleaning strips.
According to P&G, it is Crest's first and only daily paste and weekly strip set designed to strengthen enamel below the surface and deep clean to whiten teeth. The system comes with a mint-flavored paste and eight weekly strips (four upper, four lower) for weekly 30-minute treatments and is geared toward the first-time consumer for whitening strips.
"People are taking a holistic approach to their wellness routine more than ever before, recognizing the health-beauty link," says David Dintenfass, associate director of Global Whitening at P&G. "We developed Crest Healthy Radiance for women who embrace the notion that beauty starts with health from within."
Also in March, Crest Whitestrips is expanding its formula options to include Crest Whitestrips Daily Whitening + Tartar Protection. The new added ingredient, pyrophosphate, binds to the surface of teeth to prevent calcium and phosphate ions from forming together to build a crystal that develops and forms tartar. The dual action ingredients on the strip interact with teeth to provide a two-part benefit available for the first time in a five-minute teeth-whitening strip.
Fresh Breath
Novel technology delivers a whole new dimension of freshness in today's oral care market. For example, Colgate-Palmolive recently rolled out its Colgate Max Fresh Toothpaste with Mini Breath Strips–touted as the first and only whitening toothpaste infused with tiny breath fresheners that dissolve in the mouth instantly upon brushing.
"The vibrant colors and visible breath strips in the toothpaste will truly stand out on shelf, telling the consumer this is something new and different," said Suzan Harrison, vice president and general manager, Colgate U.S. Oral Care. "We're confident that once consumers try it, they'll like it."
Another mouth-freshening brand to be found on the mass-market shelves is Dr. Katz's TheraBreath. According to the company, the exclusive, original formula debuted in 1994 and has been used by millions worldwide to solve the problems of bad breath and unpleasant mouth taste. Due to its success, Dr. Katz expanded on his original TheraBreath Toothpaste and Oral Rinse products to address other problem areas in personal care such as teeth whitening, the clearing of tonsil stones, premium periodontal therapy products and even bad breath treatment systems for pets!
"Modern chemistry now allows the blending of pure and natural ingredients into pleasant tasting oral products," says Dr. Katz. "Years ago, it was nearly impossible to make oral products without the addition of saccharin, detergents and a wide range of foaming and coloring agents. Today, the new leading-edge manufacturers in oral care use formulas that include xylitol, proprietary natural oxygenating compounds, aloe vera, essential oils and other natural ingredients that taste great, are great for you, and get the job done better than any of the products that have come before."
The Green Wave
Packaged Facts reports that in the dental preparations and gum/mouthwash/breath freshener categories, there has been some confusion of the benefits of natural formulations. Controversy has resulted devolving on two ingredients–namely fluoride and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS).
The market research firm points to two major natural brands-Jason and Tom's of Maine–that are now sold in versions both with and without fluoride. As for sodium lauryl sulfate, this foaming agent and surfactant also used in shampoo, body wash and other personal care items, has long been suspected as a carcinogen, notes Packaged Facts.
"There have been several manufacturers who portray a homemade or small town natural approach to dental marketing," says Dr. Rosenberg of the Center for High Tech Dentistry. "Most are made in large factories, just like the national brands we see advertised everywhere. This is probably best, in light of the recent cases of foreign made toothpastes that contain toxic chemicals such as propylene glycol and lead-contaminated components or tube packaging."
Marketers' use of either substance in otherwise natural or organic toothpaste, denture cleanser, mouthwash, floss or other products may be motivated by the desire to reach a wider audience, especially through the mass market, says Packaged Facts. The above-mentioned brands, first made widely available in the natural food/HBC channel, are now often found alongside Colgate and Crest in supermarkets, chain drugstores and mass merchandisers.
This spring, mass-market naturals company Tom's of Maine will introduce a patent-pending new formula with the launch of its Natural Clean & Gentle Care and Sensitive Care toothpastes. According to the company, the Tom's research team has discovered that the natural ingredient glycyrrhizin, from purified licorice root, creates a foaming action for dispersing ingredients in the mouth. The Tom's of Maine formulas are rolling out in a variety of function and flavor combinations: anti-cavity plus whitening SLS-free fluoride toothpaste, anti-cavity plus dry mouth soother SLS-free fluoride toothpaste, anti-plaque plus whitening SLS-free, fluoride-free toothpaste and anti-plaque SLS-free toothpaste.
Swedish cosmetics company Oriflame is making a foray into the dental realm this spring with its first toothpaste formula, Optifresh. Containing a combination of sea algae rich in zinc, iron, calcium and phosphor that helps "remineralize" tooth enamel, and fluoride which protects teeth from acids known to cause cavities and tooth decay, Optifresh is hoping to capture the attention of the naturals consumer.
There are even eco-friendly toothbrushes in the expanding oral care marketplace. After 10 years in the making, Italian bath, body and hair care company Acca Kappa is introducing its Bioceta line–a collection of eco-friendly hairbrushes, combs and toothbrushes. The Acca Kappa Bioceta Toothbrush uses natural bristles and is derived from cotton.
A Bright Future?
Rather than promoting natural ingredients, dentists will be touting the benefits of the natural look this spring. Notes Dr. Apa: "A big trend of 2008 will be more natural looking cosmetic dentistry. Not a bright white Hollywood smile, but more natural and real."
And the way to achieve a first-class grin is a daily regimen, says Ms. Elrod of P&G: "We saw the first examples of this trend in Fall 2007, when we launched two new combinations of products: Scope White mouthwash, Crest Extra White plus Scope toothpaste and Glide Extra White plus Scope flavor floss for consumers who want the confidence of white teeth and fresh breath; and Crest Pro-Health Night toothpaste and Crest Pro-Health Night rinse for consumers who want to wake up with a healthier-feeling mouth."
Ms. Elrod also tells HAPPI that while the popularity of health-focused products like Crest Pro-Health line will continue to be a mainstay for 2008, marketers will also explore products that combine health and beauty, as "this trend is gaining popularity because consumers not only want to feel good, they want to look good."
Marketers Bank on High-Tech Features for Toothbrushes
THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL product positioning for marketers of oral care implements/appliances is high performance based on advanced technology or design, notes Packaged Facts. This applies to both manual and electric products, as a marketer may tout a brush head's bristle contour or an electric toothbrush's number of strokes per minute. "The mechanical toothbrush manufacturers have introduced a number of innovations," agrees Dr. Simon Rosenberg of the Center of High Tech Dentistry. "The Ultreo, which uses an Ultrasonic wave guide to direct bacteria-bursting pulses to the teeth, seems to accelerate the whitening effects of bleaching toothpastes, as reported by my wife and several patients."
Dr. Rosenberg points to Philips Sonicare's latest release as a noteworthy innovation. Philips Sonicare's new UV Sanitizer is said to kill up to 99% of certain bacteria on toothbrush heads. It uses ultraviolet (UV) clean light technology in a 10-minute cycle to safeguard against certain bacteria.
"Consumers want to do everything they can to establish and maintain a healthy lifestyle." said Eric Grosgogeat, vice president of marketing, Philips Sonicare. "Not only are they taking meticulous care of their teeth and gums, but they want to ensure that their toothbrushes are clean."

CGES students to lead discussion on growing up German after the Holocaust
The Center for German and European Studies will host a student-led talk on World War II, the Holocaust and growing up German.
"My Oma, the Tank Driver – My Papa, the Survivor" will feature students and student assistants who work at the Center on April 15 in the Mandel Reading Room from 7 to 9 p.m. A reception for the event will begin at 6:30 p.m.; admission is free and open to the public.
The talk, given by Jonathan Jecker '13, Sarah Klapisch '13, Nelly Schlaefereit '15, and Alex Schmidt '14 and moderated by Elena Korn '13 and Abe Feldan '14, will focus on their mixed family backgrounds, upbringings, and schooling.
Jecker, Klapisch, Schlaefereit, and Schmidt are all student assistants at the Center for German and European Studies. Several weeks ago, during a meeting to discuss upcoming events at the Center, the students had a conversation about the Holocaust and felt it would be good to share their different experiences with their families and in relation to their educational paths.
"Throughout my childhood, and even still in high school I have been called a Nazi more than once, even if at times it was meant to be in a joking way," said Schlaefereit.
Schlaefereit will look to raise more awareness on the past and how it is important to acknowledge mistakes in the past but not dwell on them. One overall goal the speakers have set is to shed light on the differences in Holocaust education that students receive, especially as German students.
The title of the event is derived from Schmidt's grandmother, who was a tank driver in the Waffen-SS and Klapisch's father, who was raised as a Christian during World War II despite being born Jewish.
"The April 15th discussion will revolve around how we have come to terms with our family histories, how we learned about World War II and the Holocaust, and what it means to have a German background today," Jecker said.

text: 10/03/2008 Click on image to enlarge Australasian Zoos have joined world Zoos in Year of the Frog 2008 to help avert the dramatic increase in frog extinctions. The coordinated regional conservation strategy will be announced during the Australasian Regional Association of Zoological Parks and Aquaria Conference at Taronga Zoo this week. The program addresses the steady decline of Australasia's frog populations with 47 species out of 220 endangered by habitat loss and disease. ARAZPA Zoos have initiated over 17 projects focusing on 14 different frog species across the region and during the Conference they will develop further coordinated planning to save frog species. Members will also be asked to contribute to fund-raising for global Frog conservation campaigners; Amphibian Ark. Taronga Zoo has already committed $40,000 towards the $400,000 regional target. Taronga's Director, Guy Cooper, said: "Taronga Zoo is currently supporting the Booroolong Frog, native to South-Western NSW, with a breeding project conducted with NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change." "The first Booroolong Frogs to be bred in captivity were released by Taronga last month, just one year after the Zoo started a breeding program to save the tiny amphibian which has suffered unprecedented population declines recently. " "This follows the establishment of the Corroboree Frog program just two years ago." Kevin Johnson of ARAZPA said: "One of the key challenges faced by frog species is Chytrid Fungus, a widespread and deadly disease that affects frogs in cool mountainous areas, causing population declines and currently without a cure. "Habitat destruction is another key threat to frogs. Frogs are very sensitive to their environment and the removal of plants and trees or changes to water supply and quality can result in frogs losing their food, their resting and hiding places and suitable mates. It is vital that we act now to prevent further diminishment of the species, in the Australiasian region and around the world." ARAZPA's coordinated effort for frogs provides an unprecedented platform for other species in the region. With over 600 million visitors annually to 1200 zoological instutionaround the world backed by their 100,000 staff, this unique cooperative project has the potential to take conservation programs to a new level. Regional Zoo Frog ProgramsWith only four native frog species occurring in the country, Auckland Zoo's conservation efforts for Archey's Frogs are vital. The Zoo has established a Native Frog Research Centre in collaboration with the Department of Conservation Native Frog Recovery Group to research wild populations, fundraise and establish captive populations. New Zealand's Archey's Frog populations have plummeted as a result of different environmental factors, including the Chytrid Fungus. The Zoo has raised significant funds towards conservation by establishing a travelling information centre which promotes frog conservation to children. Perth Zoo has built partnerships with established recovery teams and researchers to establish a successful captive breeding and management program for three frog species in West Australia - the Roseate Frog, the Orange-bellied Frog and the Sunset Frog. The program has already yielded success with the first successful captive breeding of the Roseate Frog, and the identification of Chytrid Fungus as a key cause of population decline for the Orange-bellied Frog and Sunset Frog. Queensland zoos have initiated talks to conduct ex-situ management of the Kroombit Tinker Frog and other threatened Frog species in the area, working with Universities and the Environmental Protections Agency. Weribee Open Range Zoo, Melbourne Zoo, Healesville Sanctuary (all from Victoria), Hamilton Zoo (New Zealand), and Tidbinbilla Nature reserve (ACT) are also undertaking frog conservation projects as part of ARAZPAs continuing commitment to amphibian conservation. Approximately 165 of the world's known amphibian species may already be extinct and another third are classified as threatened. Frogs are particularly vulnerable to pollution because of their semi-permeable skin which allows absorbtion of contaminants in water and air. Introduced species such as foxes, rabbits, cane toads and domestic animals also prey on frog species and threaten their survival. Taronga and Taronga Western Plains Zoos care for 4000 animals from over 350 species, provide conservation messages to over 1.5 million visitors and conservation education to over 100,000 school students annually. The Zoos also conduct a huge range of conservation research, breeding and in situ projects from Antarctica to Mongolia and throughout Australia and Asia, while providing wildlife health services to thousands of native animals each year.

ESPN Selects Austin, Texas, to Host X Games in North America
Circuit of The Americas and ESPN to Collaborate on Event for Four Years, beginning May 2014; Bid edges out Chicago, Detroit and Charlotte
ESPN, the leading action sports content provider and creator of the X Games, has chosen Austin, Texas, as the next North American host city for the X Games. The Texas capital will host an X Games summer event for four years beginning in May 2014 at the new 1,500-acre Circuit of The Americas sports and entertainment complex in southeast Austin. The selection follows a highly competitive eight month long process in which Austin ultimately edged out Chicago, Detroit and Charlotte, N.C.
"We are incredibly excited to partner with the Circuit of the Americas to bring the X Games to Austin in May," said Scott Guglielmino, sr. vice president, ESPN programming and X Games. "We believe that Bobby Epstein, his team and the fantastic COTA facility provide a unique opportunity to grow the X Games in a new region of the country and in a city that has a proven track record of embracing big events. Throughout the site selection process we were very fortunate to have great interest from Chicago, Charlotte and Detroit. Ultimately, the combination of resources, support and fit brought us to Austin and we couldn't be happier."
"We're ecstatic to be selected and thrilled to help bring ESPN's X Games to Austin," Circuit Founding Partner Bobby Epstein said. "The X Games is a remarkably cool event that perfectly fits Austin's culture and our world-class sports and entertainment venue. We want to thank the Central Texas community and its leadership, the Austin Sports Commission and the local action sports community for getting behind us, as well as project lead Paul Thornton and the entire Circuit of The Americas team for the hard work that went into preparing and securing this bid. It's been a wonderfully collaborative effort and a big win for Texas that will pay off for years to come in terms of the X Games economic benefit to our region."
"It's an honor to be selected by ESPN to host this prestigious international competition, and the City of Austin welcomes the thousands of competitors, fans and media representatives that will join us for the summer edition of the X Games next year," Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell said. "The X Games celebrate fitness, courage and individuality—traits greatly valued by our community—and we look forward to showing the world all of the wonderful things Austin has to offer. We also want to commend the three other cities in contention, Charlotte, Chicago and Detroit, for their excellent campaigns and a hard-fought competition."
Red McCombs, another of the Circuit of the America's founding partners, added, "This is a great day for the State of Texas, and we're proud that Circuit of The Americas could help lure an event of this magnitude to its capital city of Austin. We created Circuit of The Americas to be a year-round destination for the best sports and entertainment properties in the world, and this shows the natural evolution of our business. The ESPN X Games will benefit the regional tourism industry and add to Circuit's growing reputation as a significant economic engine and jobs generator for Central Texas."
X Games Austin will be held May 15-18, 2014. The full schedule of X Games 2014 events will be announced in the near future. It is anticipated that X Games Austin will see the majority of the competition hosted at the Circuit of The Americas, though some of the event will be hosted in downtown Austin as well. More details about the venue and sports disciplines will be shared in the weeks ahead. Like other events on the X Games schedule, X Games Austin will be distinct and reflect the vibe and culture of the city, tapping into its rich music and cultural scene to surround the competition with a festival that highlights the intersection of sports and lifestyle that exists in action sports. To sign up for Austin X Games event updates and ticket information, visit www.xgamesaustin.com.
Fans can get further updates and information by liking X Games and X Games Austin on Facebook, and get complete action sports coverage all year long at XGames.com. Press can find information, press releases and more at ESPNMediaZone.com.
ESPN began its RFP (Request for Proposal) process for the new host of North America in 2012 as the existing agreement between Los Angeles partner AEG concludes in 2013. In January, ESPN announced 13 qualified cities interested in hosting the X Games in North America. ESPN engaged in discussions with the various cities as they assembled their proposals. All official proposals from cities interested in hosting an X Games were due on April 2 and the four finalist cities were officially announced later in the month.
X Games is nearing the end of its first year of global expansion and transformation, with events already held in Aspen, Colo.; Tignes, France; Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil; Barcelona, Spain and Munich, Germany. The six event schedule will conclude in Los Angeles August 1-4, where it will celebrate the role of Los Angeles in the growth of X Games during its 11-year run as host city. So far this year, more than half a million fans have attended X Games events.
X Games is also in the midst of an RFP process to host its North American winter event, following the final year of its current agreement with Aspen Skiing Company. Proposals from qualified cities in North America to host the winter version of the X Games were due in June, with a decision regarding the future winter event to be made this fall.

About Circuit of The Americas
Circuit of The Americas is a world-class destination for premium sports and entertainment, which was designed to host all classes of racing, from motor power to human power. The Circuit is home to the FORMULA 1 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX, which was just named the 2012 "Sports Event of the Year" by SportsBusiness Journal/Daily. The inaugural F1 USGP recorded a three-day attendance of more than 265,000 fans with 117,429 attending the race on Nov. 17, making the Circuit's first Grand Prix the second-most attended Formula 1® race of the season.
Since its grand opening in the fall of 2012, Circuit of The Americas has also hosted the world's premier motorcycle racing series, MotoGP™; V8 Supercars™, the most popular motorsport in Australia; and the historic U.S. series GRAND-AM Road Racing™. This fall, the Circuit will host two of the most popular endurance racing series in the world, the American Le Mans series and the FIA World Endurance Championships, as well as the U.S. Vintage National Championships and the first leg of the Tour of Austin, a popular bicycle race. Circuit of The Americas is the only U.S. racetrack to host three World Championship auto racing series (Formula 1, MotoGP and World Endurance Championships) within one year's time.
The 1,500-acre complex features a variety of permanent structures designed for business, education, entertainment and race use, with only 350 acres fully developed. The 3.4-mile undulating racetrack was designed by the world-famous architectural and engineering firm, Hermann Tilke GmbH & Co., and features dramatic, natural elevation changes, including a 133-foot climb into its signature Turn 1. The 20-turn circuit incorporates some of the best-loved and most challenging turns from other iconic Formula 1 tracks around the world.
Circuit of The Americas is also home to the Austin360 Amphitheater, an expansive outdoor live music space, featuring a 14,000-person capacity and the largest permanent stage in Central Texas. Just half way through its freshman season, the amphitheater has already hosted some of the biggest names in country and popular music, including Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney, Dave Matthews Band, Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers and Zac Brown Band. At the base of the Austin360 Amphitheater is the Circuit's 25-story Observation Tower, the venue's most noted architectural element. The Tower features a large observation deck with 360-degree views of the racing circuit, downtown Austin and Texas Hill Country.

Does anyone have any information on it. Hopefully it won't be another flop. jonathanbaker (5/13/06 10:32 pm) They are on there way in two weeks.
The Amazing Race 10 is scheduled to film sometime in or around June 2006, with CBS expected to broadcast the series in Fall 2006.
The Amazing Race has recently hired challenge producer Alan Bishop to design new tasks and challenges for this season. Bishop was responsible for challenges in recent installments of Survivor (Vanuatu, Guatemala, Panama).
I'm not complaining ,but I'm not thrilled . Cold Case & Without a Trace are two of my fav shows and do well in the ratings .CBS ANNOUNCES 2006-2007 PRIMETIME SCHEDULEAnd on Sundays, CBS is making key scheduling moves designed to capitalize on the changing competitive landscape of the night. The Number One and most-honored news magazine 60 MINUTES starts the night at 7:00 PM, followed by the Emmy Award-winning reality series THE AMAZING RACE, which moves to 8:00 PM. And from 9:00-11:00 PM, CBS is using two of its most successful and compelling crime series, COLD CASE and WITHOUT A TRACE, to build a seamless block of drama. COLD CASE will air at 9:00 PM, followed at 10:00 PM by WITHOUT A TRACE, one of television's highest-rated series.
Mr. Moonves said he expects to schedule some "bridge shows" between cycles of "Amazing Race" and "Survivor." These so-called bridges may be reality or scripted series.

- Be polite and don't start or fuel flame wars! We are all friends here. Sometimes controversial topics come up, but, remember, if debates become too heated, feelings can get hurt.
- Non-sewing topics may be discussed in the Community area (Take a break, Home and Hearth, etc), which is intended for lighthearted and enjoyable discussions like you might find around a water cooler at work.

- Keep posts on topic, as much as you can. If you find a thread is veering away from the thread's original purpose, please post a new thread about the new topic! What I am mostly concerned about is people going off on a non-sewing related tangent in the sewing or quilting forums. I am going to leave this mostly up to the members to self-regulate, but I might occasionally send a gentle reminder or start a new thread for you if things start becoming too disorganized.

- Please don't advertise anything you sell in your posts or signature. If you are posting for the purposes of getting business advice (Would this item sell? How much should I charge?), post in the Sewing/Quilting Businesses forum.
- If you see something inappropriate, please report the post (click the triangle with the exclamation point) or PM me. Do not reply to the post - it just makes a bigger mess for me to clean up!

Kiss me, I made Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes.
I made these cupcakes for NYE with my friend Ellen, and I have been saving them until now. Clearly they are the perfect cupcake for St. Patrick's day. This cupcake is an Irish Car Bomb in cupcake form. A Guinness chocolate cake, filled with a Jameson Chocolate Ganache and then topped with a Bailey's Irish Cream Buttercream. I'm not sure it gets much better than that. I have seen these cupcakes on many websites, but I used the recipe found on Smitten Kitchen. She really is amazing and you can trust anything you make on her website will be delicious. I really love turning alcoholic beverages into cupcake. I made White Russian Cupcakes for NYE as well and am already plotting which drinks I am going to make next. I have been waiting for an occasion to make Champagne Cupcakes. This summer I definitely plan to make some Pina Coloda, Margarita, and Fuzzy Navel Cupcakes. Anyway, back to these cupcakes. You should make them for St. Patricks Day and if not St. Patricks Day how about a random Saturday..or they would be really nice after a long Monday at work.
Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes
recipe slightly adapted from Smitten Kitchen
Makes 20 to 24 cupcakes
For the Guinness Chocolate Cupcakes
1 cup stout (such as Guinness)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2/3 cup sour cream
Ganache Filling
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons Irish whiskey
Baileys Frosting
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperatue
4 - 6 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
pinch of salt
Make the cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 24 cupcake cups with liners. Bring 1 cup stout and 1 cup butter to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add cocoa powder and whisk until mixture is smooth. Cool slightly.
Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in large bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat eggs, sugar, and sour cream in another large bowl to blend. Add stout-chocolate mixture to egg mixture and beat just to combine. Add flour mixture and beat briefly on slow speed. Using rubber spatula, fold batter until completely combined. Divide batter among cupcake liners, filling them 2/3 to 3/4 of the way. Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Cool cupcakes on a rack completely.
Make the filling:
Chop the chocolate and transfer it to a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream until simmering and pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for one minute and then stir until smooth. Add the butter and whiskey and stir until combined. Cool until thickened, but soft enough to pipe.
Fill the cupcakes:
Using your 1-inch round cookie cutter or an apple corer, cut the centers out of the cooled cupcakes. You want to go most of the way down the cupcake but not cut through the bottom — aim for 2/3 of the way. Put the ganache into a piping bag with a wide tip and fill the holes in each cupcake to the top.
Make the frosting:
Whip the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, for several minutes. Add salt. Slowly add the powdered sugar beating until combined. Slowly add the Bailey's until you reach your desired consistency.
Decorate as desired.

The RISE (Reference Information Specifications for Europe) project is focused on the central issue of geodata harmonization, which is widely considered a prerequisite for interoperability among spatial information systems. Europe's Space programme, EC Directives, GMES and INSPIRE help to provide the guidance, policy, and infrastructure for geodata documentation, collection, and exchange.
The goal of the RISE project is to define geospatial data implementation specifications with the following main objectives:
* Be user-driven and meet the requirements of GMES, INSPIRE, other EC policies and EU strategic objectives
* Build synergies with existing projects and exploit the results of past projects
* Develop and test a subset of the implementation specifications
* Define a repeatable capability for further development, adoption and implementation of the specifications
* Raise awareness of the results and recommendations of the project.
The project uses a five-stage approach embracing:
* Building the collaborative process by bringing together the parties who need to be involved
* Iterative development of the specifications
* Testing of the specifications with users through prototyping provision of the specifications to industry and standards bodies
* Definition of a repeatable capability for future implementation.
To achieve these process objectives, the project brought together complementary skills areas and the leading organizations in their respective fields. EuroGeographics and its member NMCAs (National Mapping and Cadastre Agencies) will bring to the RISE project the network of the custodians of the main spatial data components necessary for the interoperable functioning of GMES and INSPIRE. OGC-Europe, supported by OGC member organizations, will bring to the project the know-how of the Geographic Information (GI) Industry and the technology that supports GI interoperability.

Getting married is exciting at any age. When you are over the age of 45, though, you may have to think about more than what to do with another Crock Pot. You have spent a lifetime of building wealth and planning for your future. Whether you are walking down the aisle for the first time, or have found love again, we have some considerations for you.
Tying the Knot After 45 – 4 Financial Considerations
- Combining Finances – Whenever any two people get married, they need to discuss how they are going to combine finances. People getting married later in life likely already have established money management styles. These couples need to discuss whether they want to combine checking accounts, or if they would be more comfortable maintaining separate accounts and contributing to a joint account that sets aside money for bills and mutual expenses. Talk about what you are comfortable with, and how you can support your future spouse.
It's not unusual for couples to have financial commitments from previous relationships, including child support, alimony, mortgage payments, memberships and more. Couples should have an open conversation about which expenses they expect their future spouse to contribute to, and stick to the agreed-upon financial arrangement.
- Estate Planning – The rom-coms never seem to point out that couples often go from signing their marriage certificates to updating their wills. But, as people mature, they understand the need for long-term planning. Often this plan includes creating wills, making one another the beneficiary to a life insurance or 401(k), and signing a power of attorney. Though a spouse is often a default beneficiary, if you have been planning and investing over time, you may have designated someone else as a beneficiary on your existing policies. Make it your goal to update key estate planning documents within the first 12 months of saying "I do."
- Benefits – Getting married can be beneficial when it comes to combining health insurance – couples are generally eligible to enroll in their spouse's plan when they sign their marriage licenses. But, take a look at the benefits you are already receiving as a single (or widowed) person. If you are receiving survivor Social Security benefits, these are often lucrative, and will end when you walk down the aisle with someone else.
If you receive medical insurance through a government sponsored plan, understand the income thresholds will apply. If your combined income is greater than the threshold, it could result in higher out-of-pocket medical costs for you. Understand how this will affect your finances so there are no surprises after you marry.
- Combining Insurance – When you and your new spouse combine households, you will often combine insurance plans. From auto to homeowners insurance, you may be able to get a more favorable rate when you marry. When you make major life changes, it's always beneficial to let your local agent know so they can perform a SuperCheck® and look for additional savings that you may qualify for.
Finding love at any age is a wonderful, exciting time! Be sure that while you are planning the details of your wedding, you pause long enough to have some honest conversations about the mutual state of your finances, and how you are going to approach your financial future together. Having this conversation can be difficult, but your Farm Bureau agent may be able to help – they have financial tools for any age and stage of life you are in. Congratulations on taking the leap and finding love later in life! Let's work together to protect your future.

With or without you a classic video!Oniric, this video holds heart and it does forever!
10 September, 2012
With or With YouI first paid attention to the lyrics of this song like 1988 and realized that my husband always told me my eyes where of stones, that i had thorns on my side, or even that he was sleeping like a "FAKIR":-On a bed of nails- Every time we where angry...When i first realized someone had write a song with those words-but another language-we speak spanish- i said to myself Boy!!!we really are all the same!!!we are brothers and sisters!!!no matter how far away we live or what a different culture we have.....Still my favorite song..and still huge fan of U2!! My husband is more a jazz type.....
10 September, 2012
My #1Besides the fact that this is an incredible song, beautifully sung and produced, its most personal meaning for me is in the video. My mother happened to see the video (many years ago now) and was stopped in her tracks by Bono. In this video, she said he is the very image of my father. My father died when I was only a year old, he was 23. So it haunts me a bit, but in a good way. This song connected with me again, years later, when I broke up with the 'love of my life'. Together we're toxic but I haven't loved anyone as deeply so "with or without you" truly resonates. This is a song that is with you in your darkest hour, that helps you unburden your pain or at least know that its shared. True art, timeless, an honest classic.
31 August, 2012
First loveWhen I was 16 I met my first love. We were together for 3.5 years when she suddenly decided that she needed to move on and she dumped me. I was crushed and With Or Without You reflected exactly how I felt. No matter what U2 may ever release, this one is the most special to me.
23 August, 2012
With or Without YouIt was 1987 and I was 17 years old when I saw the video of "With or Without you" for the first time. I was instantly fascinated by the music - it seemed somehow mysterious. And I absolutely liked Bono: his voice, his style of singing and the long hair... The next day I didn´t buy the single but the "Joshua Tree", which contains up to now one of my all times favorites of U2 - "Streets". But it was "With or Without You" that made me become a U2 fan forever.
23 May, 2010
My favorite song everWith or Without you is my favorite song of all times. It is my ringtone on my phone and I want it played at my funeral.

I recently had the opportunity to attend a free talk about unschooling by Barb Lundgren, a mother to three (now) adult unschoolers. Barb is also the founder of the Rethinking Everything Conference and the editor of Home Education Magazine, devoted entirely to unschooling.
The talk was at the co-housing community of Nyland in Lafayette, Colo., and was facilitated by Leslie Potter of Pure Joy Parenting.
I took some notes and would like to share a little bit about what I took away from the evening. It may seem a little disjointed, but I just wanted to put these thoughts "out there" for anyone who is interested in learning more about unschooling and/or how children raised with unschooling might "turn out." Some of my thoughts which expand on Barb's may be interspersed.
Regarding whether kids need to learn to do X, Y, or Z at a certain age
Traditional parenting assumes there is a certain time for each thing to happen in a child's life. Unschooling, on the other hand, relies heavily on TRUST. You have to trust that your children will learn what they need to learn, when they need to learn it.
- It's not uncommon for unschooled kids to learn to read later than kids who go to school. One of Barb's sons didn't learn to read until he was a teen. Once he did, however, he read the Lord of the Rings trilogy twice in about six weeks.
- A boy attended a Sudbury School, where children are allowed do pursue whatever interests them. This boy was very interested in fishing and spent all of his time fishing and learning about fishing until he was 17. At age 17, his interests shifted. He left fishing behind and moved onto computers. He started his own computer software business and by age 21 sold it for $1 million.
- John Holt, an educator and author who coined the term "unschooling" was asked, What do ALL kids need to know (in terms of academic measure)? His answer: Nothing.
- This isn't about academics, but is one of my own examples of kids learning to do something when they are ready. My kids were never interested in learning how to ride bikes. While many kids are on two wheels by age 5 or 6 or even 3 or 4, mine had no such interest. They rode their scooters and were plenty happy with them. Then all of a sudden this summer (at ages 7 and almost 10) they decided they wanted to learn to ride bikes. We got them each a bike (because they'd long outgrown the ones we got when we *thought* they'd learn to ride) and within about 5 minutes of my husband running up and down the street with them, they were doing it on their own. We've since gone for many a family bike ride.
Like I said previously, unschooling is based on trust. It is about living life on our own terms. Barb said, "You have to believe your child is here to enjoy his life."
Being free leads to responsibility and accountability.
On Control and Anger
The number one reason people experience anger is that they feel like they are being controlled. This applies to children as well as adults. Think about it this way: If someone (your spouse, for example) told you it was time to get off your computer and go to bed and you were in the middle of something that was important to you, how would that make you feel? You would want your spouse to support you, not tell you what to do when and how to live your life. Your child probably feels similarly. Try to put yourself in your child's position. Think about how you would want to be treated. Perhaps there's a way to talk about it kindly without demanding they follow your orders ASAP.
Irritation opens the door for communication. If one member of the family is doing something that bothers another, have a family meeting. Involve everybody. Discuss it. Come to consensual solutions.
On Video Games
Video gaming used to stress Barb when her children first started playing them, but then she made it into a challenge of sorts. Could she do better than the video game? She'd ask her kids questions like, "Who wants to go camping?" or say, "Let's have a party." That way she was still getting quality time with her kids.
If you miss your child because they are spending so much time on their computer, Xbox, etc., let them know. The next time they aren't playing a game, tell them you miss them.
It may be reassuring to some parents that Barb's kids no longer play video games or watch TV as adults, but they watched a lot of TV as teens. Of course that's not to say that all kids will stop playing games or watching TV as adults.
On College
Because there is so much information available on the internet — between Google and YouTube, one can find the answer to most anything — the only reason college would be absolutely necessary is to become a traditional physician, an engineer or a lawyer.
Many unschoolers seek out entrepreneurial opportunities.
How Do Unschooled Kids Turn Out?
As mentioned previously, many unschoolers choose to forego college in pursuit of entrepreneurial opportunities.
In Barb's case, one of her children is now a business owner, one is an organic farmer and one is the founder of a sustainable community. Barb pointed out to me, however, that it's impossible to duplicate another's unschooling experience. She said, "Unschooling is successful and deeply satisfying when deeply listening and connecting to one another. That will produce radically different experiences for each."
Interested in learning about what other grown unschoolers are doing? The blog I'm Unschooled. Yes, I Can Write has a page called Unschooling Grows Up: A Collection of Interviews by grown unschoolers.
Final thoughts
Unschooling is based on TRUST. I can't emphasize that enough.
You don't have to feel secure in unschooling. You just need to "feel secure in loving your child."

"Whatever happens to me benefits me." – Joel Savage
Why many do ask me if 'Savage' is my real name? Once a British woman told me she hates her name 'Mrs Ball' and worst of all, my father's name is 'Mr. Underworld,' she said. Yes, many of us have strange names. Some do change and others keep them.
I was born Joel Savage, at Cape Coast, in the central region of Ghana, on January 19, 1957, to Justin Savage, a professional journalist and Nancy-Elizabeth Hudson, an accomplished seamstress and a sewing teacher.
Last year, during my summer holidays in Barcelona, Spain, I gave one of my books to a student I met at the hotel I lodged. At the computer hall, I was flabbergasted when I saw his friends laughing at my name. I pretended I wasn't listening to their conversation.
Then on January 1, 2016, history repeats itself. At the Kotoka International Airport in Accra, Ghana, when ready to board my flight, an officer at the last checkpoint controlled my passport and the only question he threw at me is: How do you pronounce this word? Pointing directly to the name, "Savage," I answered.
"Well, I'm glad that you mentioned it yourself, because I thought that may provoke you if I had said the same thing." He said and gave back my passport to me.
If names have impact on people, then I am exceptional. I am happily married since 1993 and still live with the same woman. If I'm savage, uncivilized, cruel or a beast, my wife wouldn't have been with me today. My three sons can stand behind me and tell everyone how caring and compassionate their father is.
What I know about myself is, I have intrepid sort of character. I don't give up and no one can break me down physically, psychologically, emotionally or spiritually. In my life, I take any misfortune as beneficial and every problem as a challenge, because you can't survive in this world if you submit to problems.
This is the reason many people are depressed, alcoholics or drug addicts. Because they don't have the will power to fight and overcome those destructive tendencies. Savage is just a name but it has no influence on me. I believe in God and the Bible is my shield and Armour.

8 Pilates-inspired moves for trimmer hips, thighs, and glutes, plus Pilates-perfect abs!
Practically everyone knows that Pilates can help you sculpt beautiful abs. But devotees of the ever more popular workout have a secret: It's also a great way to get sleek thighs, a tight tush, and a totally toned lower body. You don't have to squander your savings on expensive studio lessons to reap the benefits.
"You can get the same great leg and glute workout on your own as you would on fancy equipment like the Pilates Reformer by changing moves to a standing position and incorporating tools like weights and stability balls," explains Michele S. Olson, PhD, a professor of exercise science at Auburn University in Montgomery, Alabama. "The added resistance helps target all the muscles of the lower body while strengthening your core and improving your balance." Olson, who created the following workout (that's also her modeling the moves!), recommends working up to two sets of 15 to 18 reps using a 9- to 12-pound body bar or barbell. Do these exercises three times a week for eight weeks and you'll show off enviable legs and an amazing butt to go along with your firmer middle.
Solutions for Stubborn Trouble Zones
Problem: Saddlebags
The Fix: Traveling squats with resistance band
"To tone your outer thighs, you need to move laterally," says John Boyd, group fitness director at Chelsea Piers Sports Center in New York City.
- Stand with feet hip-width apart and a band tied around your ankles.
- Step out to left side as far as you can, working against the resistance of the band.
- Bring right foot to meet left, then lift left leg out to side as high as you can, keeping torso upright and toes pointed slightly downward.
- Do 12 to 15 reps per side.
Problem: Saggy Bottom
The Fix: Flutter kicks on the ball
"To lift and firm your butt, you need to work against gravity," explains Boyd.
- Lie with abs on top of a stability ball, hands on floor under shoulders, legs extended and parallel to floor.
- Keep thighs rotated out slightly, heels pointing in.
- Alternate small flutter kicks with each leg, moving the entire leg from your glutes as you kick.
- Work up to 25 kicks per leg.
Problem: Thick Calves
The Fix: Standing calf raises
"You don't need more than your own body weight to gain definition in your calves," says Boyd.
- Stand with balls of feet on a step.
- Lift and lower heels as far as comfortable.
- Do 20 to 25 reps.
Step 1: Modified Sissy Squat
Targets: Quads, Hips, Glutes
- Kneel on floor, sitting back on heels with knees slightly apart, holding bar across upper back with torso erect.
- Lift hips, squeezing glutes as you come up while tilting pelvis and rolling butt underneath hips.
- Hold for 1 count; lower and repeat.
Step 2: Flex and Extend
Targets: Hamstrings, Quads, Calves, Core
- Sit tall on a stability ball facing a wall with knees bent 90 degrees, toes apart and resting on bar placed against the wall, feet turned out toward corners with heels together.
- Extend arms out by thighs, palms facing behind you.
- Squeeze glutes and slowly roll away from the wall, straightening legs.
- Hold for 1 count, then slowly bend knees to roll back to start.
- Repeat.
Step 3: Grasshopper on Ball
Targets: Outer Hip, Glutes, Hamstrings
- Lie on ball with palms on floor under shoulders, fingers pointing forward, legs extended and abs pulled in.
- Raise legs to hip level, rotating thighs so toes are pointing toward corners.
- Gaze forward while bending knees and bringing soles of feet together.
- Hold 1 count; straighten legs and lift them slightly higher than parallel to the floor with thighs rotated outward.
- Repeat.
Step 4: Side-Kneeling Triangle Lift
Targets: Outer Thighs, Glutes
- Kneel with right knee on floor, right palm aligned under shoulder and thigh perpendicular to floor.
- Place left hand behind head, extending left leg out to side.
- Lift left leg to hip height, inner thigh facing floor, toes pointed, squeezing glutes and drawing in abs.
- Keeping left leg at hip height, continue to squeeze glutes as you pull leg 12 inches behind you (not shown).
- Lower left leg until toes are 3 to 4 inches off the floor.
- Lift leg back to starting position.
- Do all reps with left leg; repeat on opposite side.
Step 5: Thigh Rotator
Targets: Inner and Outer Thighs, Glutes
- Sit with right leg bent 90 degrees on floor in front of you, palms on floor to right of thigh, fingers pointing forward.
- Lift left leg so toes are pointing into the floor with heel lifted and aligned with ball of right foot, knee bent 90 degrees.
- Rotating thigh, place left knee onto floor behind right heel, pointing toes toward ceiling.
- Return to starting position by rotating thigh outward and repeat.
Step 6: Bridge and Scoop
Targets: Glutes, Hamstrings
- Lie faceup on floor with knees bent 90 degrees, feet on floor with bar resting across hips.
- Lift hips, squeezing glutes (not shown).
- Raise right foot several inches, pointing toes with knee bent.
- Slowly kick leg forward and up in an arc until leg is extended; bend knee, lower leg back to start, and repeat.
- Keep hips lifted, squeezing glutes throughout the exercise.
- Do all reps with right leg; lower hips, then repeat with opposite leg.
Step 7: Standing Leg Circles
Targets: Quads, Glutes, Inner and Outer Thighs
- Stand with feet hip-width apart, hands in front with palms in, holding bar in front of thighs.
- Lift left foot 6 to 8 inches off the floor, toes pointed, balancing bar across upper thigh.
- Slowly trace a 12-inch circle with left toes, moving clockwise.
- Keep your shoulders relaxed, contracting glutes and drawing abs in to help upper body stay stable.
- Do all reps with left foot; lower and repeat on opposite side.
Step 8: Toe-Calf Running
Targets: Calves, Core
- Sit tall on a stability ball with knees bent 90 degrees, hands on hips and balls of feet resting on a body bar placed on floor against a wall directly in front of you.
- Drawing abs in, lift and lower heels off the floor, alternating feet.

Q&A: "How can I get rid of cellulite on my legs and butt?"
In a word? Exercise. "Cellulite is basically the buildup of fat tissue stored unevenly, which produces its dimply appearance," says exercise physiologist Michele S. Olson, PhD. To speed fat loss and minimize cellulite, follow a healthy diet and do at least four 45- to 60-minute aerobic workouts each week. In addition, says Olson, do strength moves like the ones here three times a week. "Resistance activities are key to maintaining a toned lower body — you're sculpting lean muscle mass while burning excess fat."

Fifty-five dead horses have been found buried on a Wisconsin farm, just weeks after the farm's owners were arrested and charged with animal abuse.
Authorities first searched the Pleasant Prairie farm on April 9 after police received an anonymous tip and discovered five dead horses in barn stalls as well as partially buried horse remains.
Starvation was a contributing factor in their deaths, police said.
Paula and David White, the owners of the farm located on the 1800 block of 128th Avenue, were arrested and charged with animal mistreatment and neglect.
Authorities returned to the farm three weeks later with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and another search warrant. During a three-day search, they found the carcasses of 55 horses, 12 goats and two cows in two separate gravesites. The house on the property was deemed uninhabitable.
Kenosha County police said this could be the worst case of horse abuse on record in the county.
Since the discovery, numerous live horses have been removed from the farm and are being sheltered with local rescue groups. Various types of live fowl, sheep, goats and a bull also were removed.
Police told the Associated Press they are urging neighbors to test their drinking water because they are concerned the carcasses were buried close enough to a stream to potentially contaminate drinking water.
Police are continuing their investigation and ask anyone with information about the situation to call the Pleasant Prairie Police Department at 262-694-7353 or Kenosha Area Crime Stoppers at 262-656-7333.

We've already driven (digitally) the 2014 Corvette, and now Chevy has shown us the car's new, digital instrument panel, as well.
We can see that the C7 'Vette will redline somewhere around 7,000 RPM. The video released by Chevy shows the needle going up about 6,250, but there are notches above 7K.
We also see that the next Corvette will have a little digital picture of itself in the center of the tach, which is cute. It's also cute that Chevy switched in a picture of a current-gen C6 Corvette into that spot for this teaser video. But hey, we've already shown you what the whole 2014 Corvette is going to look like.
Hopefully the whole interior gets a lot better for the Corvette so internet forum-ites can stop incessantly deriding the car over it.

Penguin popularity
Since the Academy Award-winning documentary "March of the Penguins" debuted, penguins have held a prominent place in popular culture. From books and movies to clothing and home décor, these adorable flightless birds can be found pretty much everywhere.
There are 17 to 20 different species of penguins in existence today, and they're found across the Southern Hemisphere — from the Galapagos Islands to Antarctica. Here, we take a look at several penguin species to learn more about the flippered birds that have captured our imaginations.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
European users have another interesting opportunity to purchase using Bitcoin from the German Amazon store thanks to the Austrian bitcoin start-up Coinimal. The service originally allowed users to buy crypto currencies or sell them and transfer the money via a SEPA bank transfer in Europe or to convert Bitcoin and send the money in your PayPal account, something that we have tested and can confirm works pretty well.
You can now also receive Amazon.de vouchers in exchange for your Bitcoins with the process apparently being entirely automatic. You need to send BTC to Coinimal, and after just 1 to 3 blockchain confirmations you should receive a voucher code immediately by email and there should be no fees at all for the conversion. You will be getting a standard Amazon.de voucher to top up your Amazon.de balance, which can be redeemed against purchases on the marketplace of the German Amazon making it possible to buy absolutely anything on Amazon.de for Bitcoin. For this service no verification is required, with only an email address, any customers should be able to purchase up to €5000 EURO of Amazon.de vouchers per day (€25 minimum order).

Scale-out network-attached storage: What you need to know
Scale-out NAS is replacing traditional network-attached storage. In this guide, you'll find out how to stay ahead of this emerging technology trend.
With data storage requirements at an all-time high, the flexibility of a scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) architecture is something a growing number of IT managers are investigating. This technology allows IT shops to scale their initial purchase by adding a virtually unlimited amount of NAS nodes down the line without having to replace the original infrastructure. That simple proposition is fueling a slew of new products and purchases in the data storage industry.
In this tutorial, you'll read why scale-out NAS continues to replace traditional NAS, and learn which questions to ask yourself and your vendor while researching scale-out technology. You'll also get a first-hand account of how UCLA employed scale-out NAS to tackle its rising data storage requirements.
Why many IT pros are praising scale-out network-attached storage systems
In this article, senior writer Carol Sliwa explains the advantages of clustered and scale-out NAS architecture over traditional scale-up NAS configurations. She details the transition of scale-out NAS from an architecture primarily used for high throughput and high bandwidth applications to one that's useful for the entire market. She also outlines what vendors like Dell, EMC, Hitachi Data Systems and NetApp are doing to make sure this technology is included in their next line of data storage products.
Vendor landscape overview guide to your next scale-out NAS infrastructure purchase
Understanding the latest NAS technology is a critical part of running an efficient IT shop. That's why we've broken down the latest network-attached storage products into three main groups: traditional/scale-up NAS, scale-out NAS, and scale-up and scale-out NAS. We analyze the most recent offerings from storage vendors and give you an organized, comprehensive way to understand all the latest NAS options.
How Isilon scale-out network-attached storage keeps a digital media business rolling
Five years ago, Industrial Color Inc. purchased an Isilon scale-out NAS infrastructure to hold 25 TB of data. Today, the organization holds 250 TB on this same system. This transition from NetApp's traditional NAS system to Isilon's scale-out NAS is an excellent example of scale-out NAS purchasing gone right, and shows how the architecture can satisfy even the hungriest of data storage operations.
Why UCLA opted for a scale-out NAS approach to its big data storage problems
Four years ago, UCLA's Institute for Digital Research and Education (IDRE) turned to network-attached storage to manage its increasing file data storage demands. Today, the IDRE is looking to scale to almost a petabyte of data in a two-headed approach toward scale-out network-attached storage. This case study provides a great example of how you, too, can stay ahead of your file data storage capacity needs by leveraging a scale-out NAS architecture.
