"If they were meant for male enjoyment then men would be playing with their own wouldn't they?"
Ha, made me think of an ex. One of very few good memories I have of him/our relationship was his sensitive nips! He must have played with his own (though I never asked). He would literally GRAB my hand and put my fingers on his nipples, and my stroking, etc. would send him over the edge! Was way cool. Never encountered that before, or since, which is honestly kind of disappointing. |

I can tell you based on studies that 10 years ago the average size was 34B I know this because I was a 34B (not now) and I was 'average', now the 'average' is a 36C. However that's not because boob size is increasing (well it kinda is but read on), it's because women's body size in general is increasing due to the obesity rates rising. I think nbdx0645 hit on an interesting point too, if we smallies are buying ours in the teen section are these surveys including that in their studies? And ditto with implants. They aren't natural so IMO shouldn't be included either, and if they are that would surely skew the results for larger breats. She also hits on the point that studies say women are wearing the wrong bra size, something like 80% of women are wearing the wrong size, so how do they know really what is average if everyone is wearing an incorrect size? Crazy!!! I'd also like to see a breakdown of height/weight/boobsize, I too love stats like that. IMO that's the only way to form an "average" as each body size differs greatly. However even then, boob size/shape differs too so I don't think there can ever be an average really. Like penis size I guess?
Allison, Honestly the main reasons for me not having breast implants are the same as yours. I have so many health issues to contend with as is, that I really don't need something else with the potential to 'explode' pardon the pun. But in all seriousness with everything I have had in my life I would be that implanted woman with the wonky pointing nipples, the half coconut look, and the infections and the hardening/migrating etc. I just don't do well with artificial stuff. Heck I had to have half my ear lobe removed because of cysts, I've had cervical cancer scares and had other lumps and have hereditary illnesses also! I can only imagine what my body would do with implants! Plus having new ones every 10 years. I won't lie though, I have thought about it, seldom, but I have. I just know that those moods pass and for the most part I am perfectly happy 98% of the time with my little boobies. I will also mention anothermajor reason for me is that there is a big risk of losing sensation, sorry but I get pretty turned on by my boobs (yep as small as they are they work pretty well in that respect), no-one is messing with that! I know there is a rumor that a big boob celeb in the UK has very little sensation in her boobs since her ops and doesn't let her partners touch them, I feel kinda sorry for her. Boobs aren't there to turn men on, they are there to turn US on. That's why they are attached to us! Sure they may be fun for men to look at and touch, but WE get all the stimulation from the touching! If they were meant for male enjoyment then men would be playing with their own wouldn't they? |

Strongirl, you always have such good remarks that follow my posts. Same goes for everybody. Thanks for the help. I'm so glad this forum was created. I can tell that my body image is improving and I'm more confident -- even when I don't have a 'bump' where breasts usually are. I'm so glad we're all here to educate and support. Man, I thought I would never get over these feelings. I thought I was hopeless. But I think I am starting to. After I finish this beast of a post I'm going to do something unrelated to titties (haha, word correct wants to change titties to tittles. I love it.)
For the "average bra size," I wish that they did more of a height/weight breakdown + cup size (I love stats.) The average may be a 34C, but I am not average in height, build, and weight. That brings me to another point...I'm buying AA bras in the teen's section. I doubt they're counting my boobs into this. Also: A-cups have a limited size/color/style selection, across many major US brands. Maybe the size is shifting because 34~38C has the most options. Perhaps C's buy the most bras. Limited selection + special sizing = less available sales. Period. I'd like to see a large random sample where women were measured by a professional. (Most people buy the wrong size bra to begin with.) Could it also be some sly marketing by the manufacturers to get more women into their "golden zone?" I don't see how it's possible for a manufacturer to come up with one size. I would think they'd say a range. I wonder how strongly correlated the plot would be, then. If the 34C is the median, but the plot isn't showing a correlation, how valid is the result? I want a correlation coefficient, dammit! And even though I am that little blip on the far reaches of space, I'm going to be proud of it. I know I'm not alone, and we'd like some more options. I hope I'm making some sense, there. What I'm trying to say is "Women's sizes vary to such a high degree. Wouldn't it be best to take the data, and instead going "HERE IS THE MIDDLE" saying, "holy dang, there's a fair amount of variation here. What are we going to do about this? Do we want to open up our size run? How can we display our data to show women that large variations in size are normal, and they should buy our brand because we understand this?" Really, they should only be allowed to say, "34C is our highest selling band/cup size." I could see the band being larger, the cup size being larger/smaller/the same. I say this, unaware of a legit study. If one exists, I apologize for word vomiting all over the internet. Not like it's never been done before. =P |

Kera, you and I are at opposite ends of the age spectrum in here but I just want to say you sound like such an incredibly cool, smart, and mature girl for your age. You keep on rocking your booblets - the world needs more awesome chicks like you! I can vouch for that myself, Kera is indeed a great person |

Well for me reasons not to get boob jobs outweigh the "yay I can fill out a bra"! The majority look obviously false, they don't look natural at all. For us smallies the breast tissue would most likely stretch causing unsightly stretch marks. They'd be uncomfortable. The don't move like natural breasts and tend to 'sit' on the chest rather than hang. But yes the rupture risks, the hardening, the loss of sensation all those are very good reasons to not get implants! Plus there is the risk of them looking in different directions. Thanks but I'll keep my small pert itty bitties rather than risk all that! Despite what I have been through with my self-image and comments from others about my breasts being on the small side, I have rarely considered breast augmentation. It is just an unnatural feeling to me both physically and mentally. I cringe of having something artificial surgically placed in me and the risks and feelings that come with it. Also I could never achieve full satisfaction that my breasts became the size that they are through nature or even genes. Easier for me to believe all of this now this since I am straying into "average size" territory, being a 34B now. I felt differently at 32A or 32B. But hey, that's a good thing ! I wonder what is the average bra size of an adult female, I have heard somewhere between 34B and 36C, anybody have an idea? |

Since I noticed people were posting about boob jobs, I thought I would jump in with another reason NOT to get them. Besides the fact that you won't really feel any better about yourself and breast implants can be dangerous, if you ever decide to get pregnant you might have real trouble with mastitis (an incredibly painful infection of the breast tissue caused by clogged milk ducts). Women with implants can obviously get pregnant and they can breastfeed...but I've seen such women have too many unfortunate problems from the implants and most have to give up breastfeeding because of the reoccuring infections. Just another thing to think about.

on the face/body thing...i think it just upset me because I don't see myself as having a good body. Starship, forgive me whilst I lovingly slap you upside the head. Remember a few months back in here, when a bunch of us exchanged photos? I saved everyone's (no, not a stalker, just can't remember shit) and just took another look and DANG, grrl, you are BEAUTIFUL! I certianly don't see any "big 'ol childbearing hips" on you, and even if you did have 'em, you are so amazing it would certainly only add to your beauty, as far as curves and stuff. Rock, that body, grrl, You got it!!!! <<RANT CONCLUDED>> |

nbdx0645, sounds like you had a good wake-up call with your meeting! Like I've said before for the most part I am happy (content?) with my boobs. For the most part I wouldn't want bigger ones because I am active and they'd most likely be uncomfortable and I'd have to wear more supportive sports tops/bras, whereas now I can get away with just a bralet type sport top. But there is that nagging in the back of my mind, that little voice that occasionally creeps into the forefront and puts doubts in there. Usually PMS time or if I am stressed about something else. I'd say negative thoughts don't occupy much of my day really. Now general boob thoughts of "hey I look hot, and my boobs look good in this top" that's a whole other story! I think I am in the start of a love affair with my own breasts, but then my sex drive in general has increased over the last 6 months so that maybe something to do with it? Hell if they were big boobs I could have a serious body loving problem! rofl! If you haven't been to the 007b.com site yet, go and look at the boob gallery there. Lots of regular womens boobs, small to large and everything in between. There is NO normal! The problem lies in the fact that we're bombarded with the image of the perfect woman having (usually fake) bigger boobs. When realistically if you just look around at your family and friends you see that's not the case. Heck look at actresses and celebrities, they are all different sizes too!
Strongirl, yep like you I've got friends who've had breast cancer. Two who have had mastectomies, and more with lumpectomies, plus the chemo after. Thankfully all my friends have survived through it, but it does give you a "what the fuck was I worrying about their size for?" slap in the face. My own mother had a breast cancer scare a few years ago also. She has big breasts and often talks of the discomfort. I often wonder about genetics cos I sure didn't get my boobs from her! But then I've seen her naked and let me just say, gravity when you are older can be a bitch! At least I don't have to worry about that! That kinda worries me about some of the ladies with BIG fake boobs. How will they hold up to gravity and won't that hurt? Especially the women who opt for the ginormous implants for their body size. That has GOT to hurt! Seriously! I go without a bra sometimes, and if I have to run un-bra'd the breasticles do jiggle about, I wouldn't want to do it unbound for an amount of time. Seriously some of those big implanted women must not run/walk or do much indeed! |

nbdx, I have expressed concerns in here before about the risk of becoming obsessive and spending way too much time on the topic. I think the things you said below are important.
The encouragement we give each other and the positivity that we share in here are great ways to feel better and free ourselves up from wasting time thinking negatively about being small-breasted. But sometimes I think we (I) need to slap ourselves upside the head and just get over it, too. There's a very sad recent post in the large breast forum by a woman who is in severe physical pain. I posted in here a couple months ago about my large-breasted friend who suffers similarly. I read an article recently about a 26 year old woman who lost a breast to cancer, cancer that is likely to kill her in 1-2 years. She and her boyfriend are back to enjoying sex, but the adjustment to losing her breast was huge. Every smallie who posts in here should thank her lucky stars and reach down and lovingly caress those little cuties right now. |

Hi everybody,
My office does a "Monday huddle" and we brought in a speaker from another department. She's an intelligent, spunky lady who is so great at her job. She said her favorite quote was "Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do." It made me realize...I spend way too much time looking for women who look like me. I also spend a large amount of my time worrying that I'm freaking people out with my chest. Sometimes, I wish people would just say "You're flat!" so that I can try to tell them off. Say something cool. Verbally kick their ass. Would I be over it, then? I work 40 hours a week. I think I worry about my breasts 7 hours a week, now. When I stopped fitting into small A-cup bras, I'd take my too-big bra off, crawl into my bed, and stay there for the rest of the night. I couldn't stop thinking about what was happening, and why I was shrinking at 24, without losing weight. I still don't know why. =/ Has anybody else calculated how much time they worry about their breasts per week? Try to break it down by hours per day. It's frightening. I've felt so much better since I joined this board. I also have a great coworker who is a bit bigger than me (I'd say a small A) but wears unpadded triangle bras to work and doesn't care. She's so awesome. |

Hmm just saw a VS commercial for a new push-up bra thats supposed to add 2 cup sizes, and it comes in 32AA. If someone tries it on please let me know how it fits, I unfortunately won't have time for shopping for awhile!

OUCH!!!!! Getting carded is flattering but THAT must hurt! Yes. Thank God for my growth spurt! In my 37 years I have NEVER had any complaints from men about my body/looks, the only time I ever had a negative image from men was a guy teasing me about my braces, but hey they weren't permanant so not counting those. Women on the other hand can sometimes be bitches with their comments, and I myself can be a real bitch to myself and tear myself down about my own body. I hear that. Especially freshman and sophomore years at school I was teased SO MUCH about my tiny booblets. Surprisingly, it's mostly from the other GIRLS. I dunno, it's like they feel like they are superior to me or something just because they have bigger boobs (and taller AND have hips). We need to get off this stupid notion that bigger boobs = being more womanly. I blame the media. My "bad booby days" are when i find myself around younger girls with bigger breasts than me. This includes BOTH my "little" sisters and a good number of junior highers. *SIGH* But I can't let it get me down. I'll just have to keep rocking my booblets extra hard. |

Women on the other hand can sometimes be bitches with their comments, and I myself can be a real bitch to myself and tear myself down about my own body. What we need to realize is that men are sometimes assholes. They say one thing and usually mean something completely different, especially when in the company of their peers. The thing is that we are our own worst enemy at times, and we need to realize that there are other people out there that probably would kill for our figures (regardless of how WE feel about it), like someone already mentioned "the grass is always greener"!
See that annoys me about the boob job, cos I know if I had it done I'd end up looking like I'd had 2 coconut halves shoved under my skin (a la Victoria Beckham, ewwww, though she had hers out now so yay!). They do say the more breast tissue you start out with the better the outcome. But I dunno, it's just not something I want to commit myself to for life (you have to replace them every 10 years). I wonder how many women in 20 years time we are going to see with pity stories because they need implant replacements but can't afford them? I'd hate to think of myself at 67 and going in for my 3rd breast implant op! Yikes! but it's still hard not to get jealous when I keep meeting women who tick allll the boxes. and i dont know why it even bothered me because like aithinne neither my face or my body are amazing- i just have the odd nice feature scattered about my person. I think i'd rather have a stunning body or a stunning face than just be average all over- not fussy which! oh and spot-on, the womans new boobs didnt even look that fake- thats what threw me because she had even less breast tissue than me. guess she just had a great surgeon and some luck because im pretty sure most wouldnt turn out like that. Has there ever been a poster on here who actually got a boob-job? |

thanks for all the positive words:)
Have you noticed how we smallies assume that "boobs boobs boobs" take that to assume big boobs? maybe the guys just look for overall proportion. lol, i dont have that either! my body looks like one of those kids books where you flip the two halves of the page to mix&match the top and bottoms of different animals. really scrawny and tiny from the waist up and then these relatively big old 'childbearing' hips. but like others have said...i do have a good bum. oh and I once did the waist to hip ratio thing and was something like 0.71 which consoled me quite a bit. on the face/body thing...i think it just upset me because I don't see myself as having a good body. If things were different and most men were most interested in faces or intelligence etc then there'd still be lots of women who weren't naturally blessed in those departments too so it would still seem just as unfair. you can go to the gym/read books/wear makeup as much as you like but theres still only so much we can do with what we're given. and why shouldn't women who's boobs are their best feature not get attention for it. but it's still hard not to get jealous when I keep meeting women who tick allll the boxes. and i dont know why it even bothered me because like aithinne neither my face or my body are amazing- i just have the odd nice feature scattered about my person. I think i'd rather have a stunning body or a stunning face than just be average all over- not fussy which! oh and spot-on, the womans new boobs didnt even look that fake- thats what threw me because she had even less breast tissue than me. guess she just had a great surgeon and some luck because im pretty sure most wouldnt turn out like that.

Re: face vs. body- if the article you guys were talking about is the one I'm thinking of, it was saying that more men said that they'd rather see a photo of the body, rather than the face (if they could only see one) of a woman they were going to have a short-term sexual relationship with, and more said that they'd choose to see the face of a woman they were going to have a long term relationship with. Women answered "face" for both situations.
It doesn't surprise me, nor does it upset me. For one thing, different men like all sorts of different bodies- our bodies are by no means excluded. (Straight) men are extremely turned on by womens' bodies, not just boobs of course but waist/hip ratio, butts, legs, genitals. Also, it makes sense that they'd give more importance to the body than the face if it were only going to be a one night stand. If it's just a one time hookup and it's in the dark or low light, you'll probably be way more focused on feeling and grabbing someone's body than the features of their face. |

Yep I do wonder that about DH sometimes. You're right it's usually when I'm feeling down on my body image. Doesn't happen often much anymore (thankfully) but we all have our demons right?
I am feeling a bit better today. I just started a new contraceptive pill, and am getting over the flu so hormones are all over the place right now. I'm sure those things combined have a lot to do with my self esteem right now. I worked out today for the first time in almost 2 weeks (damn flu!) so I guess endorphins kicked in i def check out other women's breasts all the time too. I have like a radar for it and I especially notice it when I'm with my bf and feeling inferior. I'll think that maybe he's looking at them thinking "why did I settle for this when I could have THAT??" *sigh* Spot-on I'm sorry youve been feeling bad lately, obviously you can tell I know how that feels. I have up days and down days like I'm sure you do too, so knowing that then you can know that this too shall pass. * hugs* |

Have you noticed how we smallies assume that "boobs boobs boobs" take that to assume big boobs? maybe the guys just look for overall proportion. Some guys prefer small boobs so I dunno how much faith I put in that poll. On another forum I am on we did a "what's the first thing you notice about the opposite sex" thread. Some guys are ass men, some are alll about the face (and even then different things on the face). Hardly any mentioned boobs, maybe the elephant in the room? I dunno. But I think boobs were mentioned maybe twice in a 60+ page thread.
I will say that the first thing my husband noticed about me was my ass as I was playing pool with a friend. The rest as they say is history! Hey ladies, haven't been able to get on in awhile bc school has been kickin my ass! So i havent read anyones post yet but i just wanted to tell you what i heard on the radio today. They were talking about what attracts women most and the people on the radio decided that women are more attracted to whats from the neck up and men are more attracted to whats from the neck down. When they polled men about what they noticed first on women it was, of course, boobs boobs boobs. Followed by butts and brains in that order. Yea it made me feel kinda shitty in a "what else is new" kinda way. But then I thought well hey..2 out of 3 ain't bad hahah. Ok now on to reading your posts.. *much love* |

Disney Fantasy is Handed Over by Meyer Werft in Official Maritime Ceremony
Disney Cruise Line took possession of its newest ship Disney Fantasy today from the Meyer Werft shipyard in a traditional maritime ceremony aboard the ship. The Meyer Werft flag was lowered, while the Disney Cruise Line flag was raised, transferring ownership from the shipbuilder to Disney.
This final milestone closes the book on the ships construction journey and signals her readiness to welcome guests on her maiden voyage, set for March 31, 2012, from Port Canaveral, Florida. The Disney Fantasy is the second of two newly designed Disney ships that take the family cruise experience to new heights and features many of the innovations found on her sister ship, Disney Dream.
Today we celebrate the culmination of a wonderful partnership, as we take possession of the Disney Fantasy and prepare for the journey home to Florida. This ship is the result of the superb craftsmanship from the master shipbuilders at Meyer Werft and the innovation, imagination and ingenuity of the Disney team, who have partnered together so beautifully to bring this ship to life, said Karl Holz, president of Disney Cruise Line. We are eagerly anticipating our guests, who will experience storytelling in enchanting new ways onboard the Disney Fantasy while making magical memories that will last a lifetime.
Known for establishing the family cruise market when the business launched in 1998, Disney Cruise Line continues to build upon this success with a focus on the legacy and heritage of The Walt Disney Companys most known assets master storytelling, world-class entertainment and legendary guest service.
The Disney Fantasy, along with her sister ship, the Disney Dream, are the largest ships that Meyer Werft has ever built, said Bernard Meyer, managing partner of Meyer Werft. Over the last five years we have developed an outstanding partnership working with Disney, and together, we have seen two magnificent ships become reality. The collaboration among Disney Cruise Line, Meyer Werft and its suppliers has been exemplary.
Meyer Werft and Disney first signed a contract to build two new ships in April of 2007. Shortly thereafter, planning for the design of the ships began and construction started on the Disney Dream, the first of the two new ships, with the first steel cutting on March 2, 2009. Since the recent completion of the ships float out and conveyance on the River Ems, the test-and-adjust period has been in full swing. The ship will remain in Bremerhaven for another week while additional crew members board, and supplies and provisions are loaded. The Disney Fantasy is scheduled to depart on Feb. 16 for its transatlantic voyage to the U.S., with an expected arrival to its homeport in Port Canaveral, Florida on March 6.
Captain Tom Forberg will officially take the helm of the Disney Fantasy for Disney Cruise Line. As part of the Disney Cruise Line ship construction team, Captain Forberg has been with the company for more than 15 years and was responsible for launching Disneys first three ships, the Disney Dream, the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder.
Expanding Itineraries
With the addition of two new ships, Disney Cruise Line is able to expand its itineraries, adding new homeports and new destinations, bringing the Disney family cruise vacation to more guests than ever before.
The Disney Fantasy will sail seven-night alternating eastern and western Caribbean itineraries beginning in 2012, from Port Canaveral, Fla., where she will join sister ship, Disney Dream, sailing three-, four- and five-night cruises to the Bahamas. New in 2012, the Disney Magic will offer eight-night cruises to the Bahamas and five-night cruises up the New England coast sailing from New York, and seven-night western Caribbean itineraries departing from Galveston, Texas. The Disney Wonder will continue sailing seven-night Mexican Riviera cruises from the Port of Los Angeles, while spending its second summer sailing Alaskan itineraries from Seattle.
Based in Celebration, Fla., the Disney Cruise Line experience is focused on providing a setting where families can reconnect, adults can recharge and kids can immerse themselves in worlds of fantasy only Disney can create. Most recently, the company was honored by the Themed Entertainment Association for the new Animation Magic show set to debut in Animators Palate onboard the Disney Fantasy, while the Disney Dream received top honors as the Best New Ship by Cruise Critic.

We seek your advice, knowledge and ideas on verge gardens and sustainable streets.
In direct response to considerable community interest and grass-roots activism, Marrickville Council has adopted a new approach to verge management and maintenance. Verges, also known as nature-strips are important areas of public land that have the potential to provide ecosystem services and help create more liveable spaces.
An ongoing process of collaboration with the community to manage and maintain footpath gardens will see more sustainable streetscapes emerge.
Your knowledge, advice and feedback is important and we would like to hear from you!

FCP Post:: Vixen/Jumpoff Sheneka Adams Was Supposed to be Casted on Basketball Wives Instead of Draya Michele? [Photos] http://t.co/WhJk9lDD
Vixen/Jumpoff Sheneka Adams Was Supposed to be Casted on Basketball Wives Instead of Draya Michele? [Photos]
Battle of the vixens? Maybe not. While I have grown to love Draya on Basketball Wives and love her personality, it was brought to my attention that Draya was not the only vixen/jumpoff that was approached by VH1 when it came to casting the Basketball Wives:LA cast.
According to rumors, Sheneka has mentioned to quite a few people that she was supposed to be on in the cast of Basketball Wives:LA. One thing led to another and the deal did not fall through, leaving Draya as the target for the show. But no worries, apparently there will be a Love&Hiphop: Atlanta that Sheneka will get her hands a hold of.
It took quite the investigation to see what ties would make Draya a "basketball wife" and the same would hold true to Sheneka. While Sheneka is more so known for making her rounds with D-list rappers such as Soulja Boy and other not so important rap artists, Sheneka was also once linked to dealing with Vince Carter and Carmelo Anthony.
While a picture can only carry so many words, Sheneka Adams was also on the verge of writing a Tell-All book that went into Details about her and Melo's affair while he was married to Lala. Read what she had to say about Lala's man here.
Groupie/jumpoff/video vixen Sheneka Adams is writing about her EXPLOITS with a bunch of famous men – including married NBA BALLER Carmelo Anthony. Yeah, LaLa's husband.
Here's is an excerpt (note – its not clear whether he was actually MARRIED to LaLa when this happened. But they were DEF together)
I wasn't gonna come out that night for several reasons. For one I had just got my hair done and that ish was sooooo tight, but I sucked it up and went out anyway. I normally don't go to clubs by myself, but tonight I was going to support my homies Furious ENT…they do this sexy ass party at Opera night club on Thursdays. Well anyway I got there and I was by myself so I stuck by the homies side all night because I wasn't about to walk around all my lonsome looking crazy lol. I think there was a casting going on that night for this reality show but I wasn't in no mood to be auditioning for anything so I threw back a couple of sex on the beache's which is my favorite drink, and played the mood real close.
I was getting tired of following him so I told him that I was about to leave, but he insited that I come upstairs to where the real party was at…Mind you I was there alone but me being the fiesty VIRGO that I am I made party buddies quick. As I was dancing I saw him looking at me. I'm not gonna disclose his name for the sake of what I do with a certain person is not for the world to know WHO that person is but what was done lol. Well he kept eyeing me and at first I'm like what the fuck this lame ass ***** looking at? After looking at me for about 10 mins he asked me to walk over and talk to him. I did because I didn't want to be a bitch. When I got over there he bent down and said, "Your name is Sheneka Adams right?" I was shocked as to how he knew that, considering the fact I didn't even know who he was, until he told me that he played basketball and insisted that I guess who he was.
Me being me I don't like to play games so I asked this chick who was standing around who this person was and when she told me, I almost spit my drink out. This guy is one of the top players in the NBA, well respected, and he knows my name. I was impressed then, but I wasn't going to give him the pleasure. So we danced and drank and took a few pictures and all around me I could feel the envious eyes and hatred stares of the women wising they was in my place at the moment. "You wanna go hang out at my room?" he asked…."It's to crazy in here."
The rest will be in her upcoming book. DANG LaLa . . . your man needs to exercise more DISCRETION in who he's dealing with . .
I must say, I am happy with VH1′s decision in choosing Draya over this girl. She seems like she's missing a few loose screws. Either way, I'd rather see Draya in a bikini anyway! *grabs popcorn.
Would you guys be interested in seeing Sheneka Adams on your television sets? *shrugs
For other viewing pleasure, enjoy LA Basketball Wives cast member Draya Michele.

Maybe you should contact FFG for a replacement (of the whole game if necessary.) I've heard of some people getting replacements for nearly all of a complete game because of various defects in the components, so it couldn't hurt to ask. If the stink is persisting after this long it's clearly some sort of defect, I think.
MP3 killed the radio star
My copy of Kingsport Horror as a sticky residue all over the board and the punch-out sheets. When I asked them how to safely clean it, they just sent me a whole new set. Their customer service is awesome like that.
I just got a stinky copy of Drakon as well. Was wondering what customer service told the other people with this problem.
The FFG event center has a demo copy to play.
It has a distinctly unpleasent odor to it, like vomit mixed with some other noxious fume. I like playing the game but its hard to when all you think about is how bad it stinks.
Would love to buy a non stinking copy but when even FFG has a stinky copy for demo at their own event center, it does not make me confident that what I buy will be odor free. We have demo'ed it a half a dozen times since the event center opened up and I am covinced that the stink odor of the games does not go away.
Caveat Emptor.
On the upcoming page they have a Drakon reprint in the works. Perhaps this one won't stink. I finally got a chance to play this a few weeks back and had a blast. Was really hoping it would be on this year's Holiday Sale, but no such luck.
Just played the same copy that FFG have at their event center again with some locals a couple weeks ago.
The smell still lingers even after all this time. Truly noxious.
It must be some sort of manufacturing residue, perhaps a release agent for the plastic moulds or something. Possibly something coating the cardboard. There must be a way to clean it off, although I'm at a loss as to hwo one would safely do that, especially if it's on the cardboard.
MP3 killed the radio star
I taked contact with after sales services of FFG.
Look like all Drakon's third edition stinks. So they can't do anything. The real problem is that even after 6 years, it still stinks a lot.!!
Hope they're going to reprint it soon, so i could by a new one. Even without figures i already have them (but i won't be against new ones for descent V2)

Nestled within the luxurious confines of the four star Johnstown House Hotel and Spa, this Elemis spa induces comprehensive relaxation with a full range of full-bodied treatments.

While yet to be widely reviewed, the spa has attracted some favourable comments from TripAdvisors, as well as over 200 FacebookLikes to date.
The spa in this hotel is excellent. I am pregnant and suffering with a bad back. Hence, the number of suitable treatments is very limited. On ringing to make the appointment, the receptionist was extremely well informed and knew exactly what my options were. She recommeneded [sic] a facial and reflexology. Both treatments were excellent, but the reflexology has had a lasting impact on my mobility and well being. The therapist was exceptional and explained everything really well. After the treatments, I had a very good lunch in the bar. The service was excellent and their Goats Cheese Tart is very good. The only disappointment was a fairly tastless [sic] American Cheese Cake.

This Honey and Orange Glazed Chicken offers a fantastic contrast between the tang of the hot sauce with the sweet orange and honey against the traditional flavors of soy and ginger in this dish is a pleasant surprise from more typical honey and soy combination for chicken. Frequent basting produces a pretty glazed surface and pulls double duty as a very tasty side sauce as well. Just delicious and my husband absolutely loves it. The best part? It really is just a breeze to put together.
Combine all of the marinade ingredients into a bowl or container. I find that a Pyrex measuring cup works great and makes an easy job of pourin', so I squeeze the juice right into the cup on top of the honey, add the soy sauce, and the rest of the ingredients go in as I chop.
Rinse and pat dry the chicken and using a pair of tongs, transfer the raw chicken into a zipper storage bag and pour the marinade over the top. Notice how I've folded over the top zipper part? That helps to keep it clean so that it seals nice and tight.
Seal the bag and squish the chicken around to coat it well all over.
Lay the bag flat in the refrigerator and let it marinade for 2 hours. Every once in awhile pick it up, squish it around and turn it over.
Dump the whole thing out into a foil lined baking pan and arrange the chicken so that the largest parts are facing toward the outside of the pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to one hour, depending on the size of your pieces, basting several times.
When done, set the chicken aside to keep warm, pour the sauce in a skillet and reduce until slightly thickened.

Baked Chicken with Honey Orange and Ginger Glaze
From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
1 cup of honey
Juice of 2 oranges, or about 1/2 cup
1/4 cup of soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon of Tiger Sauce
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 whole chicken cut up
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish, optional)
Combine the marinade ingredients and whisk together; set aside. Place the chicken pieces in a zipper bag and pour the marinade over the top, turning to coat the chicken well. Place bag into the refrigerator for 2 hours, turning occasionally.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the chicken in a foil lined baking pan and pour the marinade over the top. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the pieces until chicken is cooked through, basting and turning pan occasionally. Remove from the oven when the breast has reached 165 degrees and the thighs about 170 degrees on an instant read thermometer; keep warm.
Pour the pan drippings into a skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until reduced and slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Drizzle some of the pan sauce over the individual serving pieces and sprinkle with sliced green onion if desired. Serve additional sauce on the side.

"Intellectual breadbasket"
Why did Europe exterminate its Jewish population, which was its intellectual elite and engine of its economic, cultural, etc. developemnt in the last 200 years?
I think Germany 1918-1945 had decided to purge itself from its half percent of Jews, because they saw the Jews as a powerful hostile element, the one that was responsible for the sudden collapse of the undefeated German Army in the end of WWI. Jewish organizations defended themselves against this accusation by pointing out the excessive participation of German Jews in the Army, the excessive number of decorations they earned, and in general, the tremendous contribution of German Jews to the country's culture, science and economy. The Nazis did not deny these facts but thought that Germany would be a more compact, solid, stable, stronger fighting body without Jews, without permanent Jewish-led agitation and ferment. Most high IQ people assumes that IQ is the most important thing in the life of nations, but it is not, and surely was not so two generations ago when when military strength was measured by the number of horsemen and lancers and may be, tank drivers. And lebensraum, calculated in cereal-producing hectares and iron-mines.
I too have thought that Europe was shooting itself in the leg by exterminating its cognitive elite, and I think that is what happened, just look at formerly prosperous countries like Hungary, Romania, Poland, Ucraine, Bielorrussia, Latvia, etc. that in one or two generations have returned to their natural, pre-Jewish condition of Third World hellholes. Why should I care? They sent my grandparents and uncles to Auschwitz and to me, they told "Go To Palestine". That is what I did and am building my own country on these dry, bare hilltops of Samaria. Regarding Europeans, let them fry in Hell without intellectual breadbaskets. Actually not, I wish no evil to Europeans, my feeling is rather indifference.

This is an interesting comment. There is no question in my mind that Europe as a whole impoverished itself (intellectually, morally,and financially) by expelling and exterminating its Jewish population. So why did they do it?
The answer to this question could be debated endlessly, but actually it is one of the least discussed aspects of the Holocaust. The superficial answer, that the Jews contributed to the defeat of Germany in WWI, is clearly not true.
I do not have any special expertise on this, but I think the answer has to do with fear. As we all know, Jews tend, ON AVERAGE, to be more successful commercially, academically and professionally, due to the one standard deviation IQ advantage and also due to emotional factors like ambition, drive, appetite for all sorts of risk, and an acute appreciation of leverage. Consequently, whenever they reach a certain (and quite small)threshold percentage of the 'native' population, everybody else starts to get worried (consciously or unconsciously)in regards to loss of control over their homeland. And skillful politicians (eg Hitler) can exploit these fears, especially since he shared them himself.
Please do not think this an attempt to justify in any way the tragedy.It should never have happened, it was a short term and long term disaster for Western Civilisation, in many obvious and subtle ways, and we are still paying for it.
So, in my opinion, it is nothing to do with an "ubermensch/untermensch" thing; the Jews, I suspect, were the one and only group that Hitler really did fear as being competitive with the Germans.
You in fact see a similar phenomenon operating in Israel today, even though the Palestinians generally are not competitive with respect to achievements; but they constitute an enormous demographic threat to Israel which generates a lot of angst. And you see this xenophobia all over the world where a talented minority takes root in another country; eg the Chinese in the Philippines, the whites in Africa, etc, etc, etc.
And all I can say is that a better understanding of this phenomenon, which is biological in its true nature, might lead to more succesful attempts at prevention of genocide. We need to rise above sloganising this problem in our public discourse.

Don't worry soon there will not be Europeans and many other ethnic groups.

I dont think Hitler feared Jews. From the very start of its political carrier, Hitler attacked Jews and never once met any resistance. Not even during the mass killings, which went on for years without any resistance. He must have wondered where was that famous Jewish power if he could kill Jews by the million and no one was resisting. However, in the end, in his political testament, he mentions it once more.
- Anonymous said...
Your age is beginning to show, J. Your various three paragraph analyses are increasingly bereft of any understanding of history due to your natural chauvinism. You seem to think the Jews were the elite of Europe. I say, like many of your original Zionists said, that the Germanics were.
- J said...
Were and are. I never said that Jews were the leaders or rulers of Europe. We did contribute a lot to European culture, science, economy. That when there was a substancial number of Jews in Europe, which is not the present situation. Europeans did it to us and to themselves.

I think Hitler feared the Jewish mind, as at least the equal of anything the Germans had to offer.
In this regard, it is worth reading the history of physics, especially in the interbellum years of the 1920's and 1930's; a co-operative effort, to be sure, but it is striking how a small European Jewish population could throw up enough genius (Einstein, Szilard, 50% of Bohr, and others) to match the best of Europe (Heisenberg, Planck, Rutherford, etc). You will see the same thing in the people who made the Bomb in the USA Manhatten Project (Feynman, Oppenheimer,and again the very interesting and eccentric Leo Szilard).
Hitler may have been stupid in some senses of the term,and certainly fanatically over the edge, but he could not possibly have been dumb. I do not think he thought the Jews were untermenschen at all; that was propaganda for the for masses.
This having been said, I still believe he could have controlled Germany without the antiSemitism, and even, at least for a while, harnessed the Jewish talent for Germany, as in WWI; but this is mere speculation. He was too full of hate to be rational.

And yet, somehow, that Jewish genius couldn't get a man into space either in the Soviet Union or its twin the United States without captured German scientists.
Jews were competitors to the Germans for resources. The Russian elite were a competitor to Jews for resources. So Jews killed lots of Russians and Germans eventually killed Jews.
So what if Hitler feared the Jews? There was reason to, as the world knew and knows, and as J. takes a certain glee in (as would I, if in his place). Eighth grade assessments of the struggle for life on this earth must stop. Ridiculous Hebraic notions of "good vs. evil" mean nothing to students of evolutionary biology.
There were two talented people, perhaps the most talented the earth has ever produced. One wanted to live without the other. They said the land was their home. That's that. - 4:46 AM

It is ridiculous, dear Anonymous, to state that Germans and Jews were fighting for resources. 90 million Germans vs 0.5 million Jews? Food or living space were being disputed? Were Jews taking ten wives so that Germans would be forced to masturbate? In our modern world, bright people ARE the resource.
I see it here in Israel. This is originally a very poor waterless, arid land. Where Jews settle, suddenly factories and commerce flourished and the Arabs (even from Sudan) try desperately to infiltrate and live here. Suddenly this is their land. We are taking their resources... But Jordan for example has exactly the same resources and people is starving there. - 7:12 AM

Ah, dear Jaime, I wish you luck when, during your eventual retirement, you sit down and seriously attempt to grasp not just political theory, not just the mechanistic aspects of the civilizational overlay on this earth, but the utter reality of the eternal struggle for life.
I do not have much hope, however. A man who believes at this advanced age, per his tribal books, that all life somehow evolved to serve him, is a man who cannot attain the level of thought necessary to grasp the wider reality of evolution. You have a built-in device, inculcated by your culture, which informs your "blood" (as you've put it) as to how to react when presented with thoughts that, if logically followed through, would not allow one the mindset to properly compete here on the globe.
Meaning, of course, that if you did suddenly understand tenets of sociobiology and the like, you would have given up something essential in making you a Hungarian Jew.
Good luck with the final exams for your students. Though not an engineering question, perhaps you could ask them this, in order to weed out those unteachables: Nation A has many people and a fertile landscape watered by a large river. Nation B, adjacent to Nation A, does not have as many people, but is an easily defended mountain land. The headwaters of the river spring from there. The few people of Nation B build a dam, thus controlling the water going to Nation A. What are the possible outcomes of this scenario? - 4:11 PM

There is a difference between competition for the consumption of resources and competition for the control of resources.

You have a built-in device ... (to delete ideas that)... would not allow one the mindset to properly compete here on the globe".
Of course I have it. I know. My mind (and yours) evolved to make us survive and reproduce. Nothing more, nothing less.
I know that there thoughts I cannot think and concepts that I cannot conceive because evolution had no use for them. Quantum mechanics may be one of these concepts, although it seems to me that it has been solved recently (decoherence and all those new concepts) and now I am able to get the gist of it. But I have no time to think much about it.
Regarding the river and the dam, during the last 50 years there were many instances of this situation. Not even one war was fought for water, not in Turkey and Iraq or Syria, not Syria vs Israel, not Argentina vx Brasil (Itaipu!), not West of China vs East of China, anything. There were no wars for resources. Full stop. And never will be. If a resource can be bought in the market, to buy it is always cheaper than waging a war for it. Profesor Fishelsohn, my mentor, said so. I repeat, dear Anonymous, the resource of the 21st Century is the competent human brain. America still has most of it by a large difference. If I may be patronizing as you are with me, I would say stop thinking in 18th CEntury terms, like Ricardo and his contemporaries. Read modern geopolitical thnkers, like those of the Rand Corporation. They are providing a public service by publishing their reports, seize the opportunity! - 7:39 PM

Thank you, J. This is good advice for me.
I will look also look into this interesting Rand Corp. which I've never heard of. I'm sure its output is in no way a function of the society that built it.
As for this Profesor Fishelsohn, I hope he is able to stay out of the way of such luminaries here in the United States as Richard Perle. This fellow adamantly claimed the U.S. was going to invade Iraq for reasons of oil alone, something that could have been bought on the open market for much less cost. This man should have chosen Professor Fishelsohn as a mentor, rather than Albert Wohlstetter, a gentleman who worked for...hold on...let me check here...what the, the Rand Corporation?! - 1:55 AM

What competition for resources with the Jews, who have none? Natural resources are those of say Congo, a country the size of Europe, with water, land, minerals, you name it. Or Zimbabwe, former African breadbaket, with excellent crop lands and minerals and whatever you may want. Or Kenya,for instance, with agricultural potential equal to the United States. Or just a minute, I remembered, ARGENTINA, with 3 million square kilometers of temperate agricultural land (the pampas) with perfect rainfall, and so on. Why are they all so poor? On the other hand you jave resourceless Island, Ireland, Scotland, the Great Britain, etc. that are among the wealthier countries of this planet. Conclusion: The only resource that has any meaning is ... IQ?
- rashkov said...
IQ can not succeed in a vacuum. It has to have access to at least some resources, directly or indirectly. Anon is saying that the Germans were afraid of the potential for Jews to indirectly control resources, in competition with the native volk.

Thank you, rashkov. You're correct.

Conclusion: The only resource that has any meaning is ... IQ?
No! Argentina could have a per capita GDP equal to the US, but chooses the path of failure. According to this wiki article that posts the table from IQ and the Wealth of Nations Argentina has a national IQ of 96, halfway between the US (98) and Israel (94). On top of that Argentina has Jews, but they seem to be about as productive as their Latin neighbors. Maybe there is some sort of massive gap between Anglo-Protestant culture and Latin Catholic culture.
Second, if IQ is the most precious resource in the world then immigration is a means to destroy that inborn IQ, along with a drive to promote miscegenation. - 12:27 AM

Actually one of the worst thing that has happened to the United States was welcoming of smarter Jews into the WASP circle. Pre-WW2 WASPs knew all about Jewish genius but also understood the need for eugenics, which many Jewish Americans rejected because of its racist tone.
Carnegie, Rockefeller and even Woodrow Wilson and other wasps established institutions to promote good breeding. What did the Jews have to offer-Franz Boas and Betty Friednam. This is a sensible route for Jews as they are not Germanic and Nordic but not for the US overall.
Jews as a group, at least in America outside of hard science, have distracted away from IQ and race(ironically) and therefore harmed the US in the long run.
Put more simply if the duller old money wasp was still in charge over the smarter jew, we might have a had a couple of generations worth of eugenic breeding done.
Jews can claim to in fact be more intelligent but Jews as a unit cannot claim to have made Europe or America smarter or sensible. - 8:36 AM

My mum told me she's going to buy 50 Shades of Grey
I tried to tell her, truly I did. I told her all about the twilight fanfic and excessive use of the word "there" but she wasn't convinced. I told her "Mum, the internet is literally laughing at you and your choices" and her response was:
"Maybe all those young girls on the internet just feel threatened because they're not used to seeing or reading things with sexual content like that"

Some 6,000 square feet are covered by solar panels, helping produce 60 kilowatts of electricity an hour.
Window World participates in a special Tennessee Valley Authority project, Generation Partners, that provides incentives and technical support for the installation of renewable energy-generation facilities.
Collins relocated Window World to Cliff Gookin Boulevard last July, but had long planned to install solar panels. It took a full year from planning to execution, but Collins said it was well worth the effort.
"I went to college in 1981 and wanted to be a solar engineer," he said. "But the timing wasn't right for it like it is today. So, I got my business degree. Now it's come full circle, things have changed, and here we are again with renewed interest in solar energy."
The solar array system went online in late March, and since then has generated more than 11,600 kilowatts of electricity. The typical U.S. home uses about that much in a year.
"It's not much, but if a lot of people are doing it, it all adds up," Collins said.
One of TVA's focuses has been to generate more electricity from renewable sources like solar, wind and water. The utility, like so many others, has been reliant on coal plants to generate electricity. But increased environmental regulations, combined with its own desire to find more renewable sources, have moved TVA to initiate programs like Generation Partner.
In the program, TVA buys all of the "green" energy. Participants don't use the electricity directly, but the big payoff is that carbon emissions are reduced.
"TVA is proud to celebrate Tupelo's first Generation Partner solar project in the first city to offer TVA power," said David Sparks, TVA energy efficiency manager. "This 60-kilowatt system will add local green renewable energy to help TVA meet the energy needs of Mississippi customers."
The solar panels on Window World's roof generate direct current, which is sent to six inverters inside the building. There, the DC is converted to usable alternating current.
The inverters are about the size of a typical breaker box and don't take up much room.
"Yeah, I was a little disappointed when they set it up - I thought it would be a little more elaborate," Collins said with a laugh.
Collins will lead tours of the facility on Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Zoo #1 Attraction
By: Brittany Pelletz
Updated: February 17, 2009
Many other organizations in town admire the success of the Abilene Zoo.
For example, the Mockingbird Library Branch looked to the Zoo's organization for it's grand opening and for guidance on how to execute as a city-run business.
"I think the thing that sets the zoo apart from any other organizations is that it's very easy for us and the public, and people that are concerned about animal welfare and conservation to fall in love with their local zoo and that is one of the great strengths that sets us apart from many other organizations," Bill Baker, Abilene's Zoo's director said.
Mayor Norm Archibald says it's the passion among zoo workers and supporters in the community that make it so successful.
As for the Abilene Zoo's Director, Bill Baker, hey said, "We're very fortunate in so far as we have a wonderful management team and we also have a wonderful group of employees and it's a really unique situation in my experience to work for a city that is so supportive and team-oriented and that's really been a benefit. I think that's one of our greatest strengths is that team-oriented philosophy that is really strong for the City of Abilene."
With the Abilene Zoo being the only zoo in this part of Texas between Fort Worth and El Paso, Abilene is very lucky to have this type of Municipality.

Physical Activity & Fitness
Physical activity is an important part of your overall physical and mental health. Regular physical activity over time produces long-term health benefits and reduces the risk of many diseases and dying prematurely.
Physical activity also keeps you in shape so you can enjoy leisure activities and safely perform work and home chores. Staying physically active throughout life can also improve thinking ability in older adults. Overall, it helps maintain an independent, productive and social life.
According to the new Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, all Americans should be active-even older adults and those who are disabled or managing a chronic illness. All adults gain substantial health benefits from a combination of aerobic and muscle strengthening activity.
If you have been inactive, don't be discouraged. Some activity is better than none. Start at a comfortable level and add a little more activity over time.
The more physically active you are, the more health benefits you gain. If you are physically fit, you are very likely to look, feel, and do your best-physically and mentally.

La Silla Facilities
La Silla, in the southern part of the Atacama desert, 600 km north of Santiago de Chile and at an altitude of 2400 metres is the home of ESO's original observing site.
Here ESO operates three major telescopes: the 3.6m telescope, the New Technology Telescope (NTT), and the 2.2-m Max-Planck-ESO telescope. They are equipped with state of the art instruments either built completely by ESO or by external consortia, with substantial contribution by ESO.
La Silla Observatory is hosting regularly Visitor Instruments that are attached to a telescope, for the duration of a run of observation and then is removed from the telescope.
La Silla also hosts national telescopes, such as the 1.2-m Swiss Telescope and the 1.5-m Danish Telescope.

Alliance Balloon
Binds when picked up
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
The NPC named Vin that offers this quest can be found near the orphanage in Cathedral Square in Stormwind City. Because this is a faction specific quest, only Alliance may pick it up and receive an Alliance Balloon.
The horde version of this companion is the Horde Balloon.
When mounted, the balloon pet will disappear.
I would like to be able to see this battle. It only needs one skill - Static Cling. Simple. Effective. Instant-Kill. Once a day. Win.
This pet (among other non-battle pets) is of uncommon quality. But it CAN be upgraded with a battle-stone, i did this accidently with this pet, and tried it later with other pets such as guild page etc. Should'nt it be possible to show the quality of non-battle pets on this site? It looks better with all pets in blue. :D
It's a balloon.
It's in Alliance colors.
It has an Alliance Lion on it.
And it can't fight worth a damn.
Shameful. Just shameful.
(Note: this post is accurate as of 8/29/12, the day after the new patch was released.)
I assume this is the same for Alliance attempting to infiltrate Orgrimmar.
The balloons are located at ground level, and sparkle. You can be on a flying mount with them.
I found one in The Cathedral Square, one in the Damaged Harbor to the southwest of the Cathedral Square, and three others in the Dwarven District.
It may have been easier for me because I don't think anyone else was looking for the balloons.
I also think it was good of Blizzard to make a new LOW level pet available.
My balloon counted.
A kid came into my shop asking if I sold balloon animals. I had to explain that I only sell real animals. But what's the next best thing? An Alliance balloon that never pops, no matter how hard you try! That's right! Take out your favorite dagger and give it a shot! No, wait... kids shouldn't be playing with daggers. Give that here, boy!

Advertising and Interactive Services activities have focused on developing the technology to support interactive, targeted and addressable advertising, including functionality such as voting and polling, request for information and ability to access ads stored as VOD assets.
The specific technologies that CableLabs has been active in supporting include:
Client-Based Ad Insertion
SCTE DVS 766 defines specifications for stream conditioning for switching of addressable content directly into digital TV receivers or legacy set-top boxes. CableLabs supported the development of DVS 766 and references the standard in its Tru2Way specifications as part of the client side (STB or TV) insertion functionality.VOD Metadata
CableLabs has worked with its members and the cable TV industry to specify the metadata and interfaces for distribution of VOD material from multiple content providers to cable operators. VOD metadata is the electronically provided descriptive data associated with a content asset, such as a movie.CableLabs issued version 3.0 with additional features that will enhance advertising opportunities. Version 3.0 allows for adaptation of metadata structures to allow repurposing of content for different contracted applications and between controls over content distribution. To facilitate the transition from 1.0 and 1.1 to 3.0, CableLabs is developing translation tools and migration strategies. It will host Interops to test the specs and compliance with them.
See the Metadata version 3.0 specification.
ETV (Enhanced TV)
ETV is video programming that has an interactive application bound to it and which executes concurrently with that program. ETV can be utilized in legacy set-top boxes to help enhance ads with applications such as voting and polling and ability to access ads stored as VOD assets.CableLabs and its members developed the ETV specifications, which are intended to support a national cable footprint for interactive TV content delivery and management.
For more information, please see the ETV Project Primer
SCTE 130 and Addressable Advertising
SCTE 130 defines a set of interfaces between logical components of an advanced advertising system designed to support linear, on demand and DVR delivery platforms, and to enable a more granular level of addressability. The interfaces address various elements of the advertising system including: ad manager, ad decision server, content information service, subscriber information service and placement opportunity information service.The Document Profile Architecture (DPA) Toolset is designed to encourage collaboration and development of advertising implementations tied to the SCTE-130 specification set. The SCTE-130 specification set prescribes techniques and approaches for the delivery of interactive and highly relevant advertising messages within cable-delivered video-on-demand and other media environments.
The publicly accessible resources for the DPA Toolset are now available dpatools.cablelabs.com.
CableLabs actively participated in the development of the specifications and in November 2008 hosted the first in a series of Interops to test compliance with SCTE 130.
See the SCTE Web site for more information.
