2002 Liquid Force Rhythm 147
Fun, it's the reason we all wakeboard. The Rhythm series was designed to capture this feeling. For those days of just wanting to slow things down a little bit and play around with the wake, or for those days of learning to ride, the Rhythm is a perfect prescription. Don't let this idea of fun fool you, though, because the Rhythm is designed with just enough performance features to allow for that needed rush of adrenaline. Nothing too fancy, just clean, smooth lines to let you feel your inner rhythm.

Comments: Ok ok,.. I own about 10 different boards, some new, some older ones, from just about every manufacture. I got to tell yeah, I own two of these babys, a 2002 and a 2001 model, and I bought one for my rather large son in law. Why?... this board is one of the easiest boards to learn surface 180s and 360s that you can ride. It is very easy to get up, on deep water starts and does everything generally pretty well. You will see all kinds of reviews about how "this or that board", "rocks" etc etc but lets be real,. most people do not need an advanced board that they may never have the skills to adequately ride. I see alot of riders do more face planting on "catchy" advanced boards than they do actual riding. Dont fall into that trap. The Rhythm is one of the most forgiving boards out there. It is very catch free, fast and has adequate pop for nearly any rider. The Rhythm has a free ride, loose, flowing feel but still tracks well enough to make it very very fun to ride. Dont let the ease of surface tricks fool you though, as the old girl can still fly wake to wake with some of the best (and more expensive) boards out there. They are starting to get a little hard to find now,.. but if you are just getting into the sport and are lucky enough to come across a new or lightly used Rhythm, I would not hesitate to grab it. I generally have lots of different style riders/boards in my boat,... everybody still loves and likes to ride the Rhythm!

This is my 4th year riding wake on my 3rd board (although I've been sliding sideways for over 2 decades on concrete and snow). I'm a big boy now and this is the ticket for all those that enjoy beer and pizza, or are aging and want to ride for the soul. Check out my review on the LF EZ bindings.

Install I9300XXUGMJ9 Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 Official Android 4.3 branded/unbranded firmware
For those who might not already known that the Samsung Galaxy S3 international variants (GT-I9300) has already received its official Android 4.3 Jelly Bean upgrade. The upgrade firmware came around as build number I9300XXUGMJ9, and this brought me up some doubt why the heck in the world happened that it is the same build number that has been previously leaked and then turned out to be official later.
This update has ben rolled out for unbranded Galaxy S3 in UK and for carriers like Vodafone, Swisscom, A1, and among all other carriers in Europe regions. This update has now seen on Kies firmware server and should also be available via over the air update. So better check it out now. The stock MJ9 firmware can be downloaded below, and can be flashed using Odin.
Odin Flashable Stock Firmware Android 4.3 I9300XXUGMJ9:
Great Britain – BTU_I9300XXUGMJ9
Carrier branded:
Czech Republic (Vodafone) – VDC_I9300XXUGMJ9
Greece (Vodafone) – VGR_I9300XXUGMJ9
Ireland (Vodafone) – VDI_I9300XXUGMJ9
Romania (Vodafone) – CNX_I9300XXUGMJ9
Slovenia (SI.Mobil) – SIM_I9300XXUGMJ9
Austria (A1) – MOB_I9300XXUGMJ9
Switzerland (Swisscom) – SWC_I9300XXUGMJ9
Croatia (Vipnet) – VIP_I9300XXUGMJ9
– Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 Firmware
Odin3_v3.07 Download
GT-I9300 USB Driver Download
1) Extract or unzip the downloaded firmware or stock ROM so that you'll get the Odin flashable tar file which is looks likely the same as the image below.
2) Run Odin Downloader v3.07 flasher program.
3) Load the binary file. Click on the PDA button then browse to the folder where you extracted the stock ROM. like for example I used UK firmware so it goes like this
4. Do Not check the Re-Partition checkbox. Mark check these checkboxes Auto Reboot and F-Reset Time.
5. Reboot the phone in download mode: To reboot the Galaxy S3 into download mode , you need to turn the power off. After it completely shut down, just press and hold theVolume Down key, Home button and the Power ON/OFF button simultaneously.
Samsung Galaxy S3 Download Mode buttons – (Volume Down+HOME+ON/OFF)
You should then prompted into a warning screen and asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, just simply press volume up to get into download mode. The download mode then displays an Android robot and say's "Downloading.. Do not turn off target!!"
6. Connect the phone to PC when it's in the Download Mode screen.
7. Hit the "START' button.
10. Wait until a word "PASS' appears.
11. Remove the phone from PC once completely reboots.
Optional: perform factory reset to gain a fresher firmware installation, this is very useful to get rid of booting and lag issues.
You may then confirm the newly installed Jelly Bean from your device:
Settings–>About Phone–>Software info or type *#1234# and see if it's already I9300XXEMG4 4.1.2 Jelly Bean build.
If you can still hold your breath, just wait for the official Android 4.3 for our unbranded Galaxy S3 to arrived soon. And remember, If it takes too long enough, then there are still might be some issues that the developers are still cooking around.

Follow my lead to glory, says Coalisland boss O'Hagan
Coalisland manager Damian O'Hagan enjoyed many memorable days in the colours of Tyrone and now he wants as many members of his newly-crowned county championship-winning squad to enjoy similar experiences.
O'Hagan has already set his sights on next Sunday's Ulster Club Championship quarter-final against Fermanagh champions Roslea following his team's stunning triumph over Carrickmore in the O'Neill county final at the weekend.
And while naturally keen to see his side progress on the provincial stage he believes that several of his players are facing into potentially lucrative careers.
"I think that win over Carrickmore has helped this team to mature even faster," says O'Hagan.
"We have players in there whom I believe have a great deal to offer Tyrone and I think that they will become even better with the passage of team."
Tyrone manager Mickey Harte may run the rule over Coalisland again next Sunday but having observed them to date in their domestic championship he is well aware of their capabilities.
Coalisland have been knocking on the door of the Tyrone title for a few years without quite managing to get across the threshold but now that the silverware has been finally collected O'Hagan predicts that the team could remain a force for some time.
"Obviously we have had to be patient to get this title but knowing these players I think this will only serve to fuel their appetites for more," says O'Hagan.
"I certainly would like to think that this would be the case. We have good structures within this club and success at this level will I feel, permeate down to the grassroots."
Roslea manager Peter McGinnity, the former Fermanagh and Ulster star, has not surprisingly availed of the opportunity to put Coalisland under his personal microscope in the Tyrone decider and is aware that his side faces a tough battle come Sunday.
"I think that since both teams have now won county titles after being out of the spotlight for a lengthy spell it will make them even more determined to do well in the Ulster Club series," says McGinnity.

Several weeks ago, Melissa and I had a little plumbing problem.
It wasn't a big deal. One of those things that we just couldn't fix, so we had to get someone else. Luckily, we haven't been in the home that long, so we called our home warranty service. They sent someone out just a day or two later.
The company that came took about 5 minutes, claimed to have fixed the problem and went on their way. Just looking at the issue, I could tell that it wasn't really fixed. They needed to replace the cut offs under our kitchen sink, but chose to tighten and replace a portion of pipe just above them.
Several days later, our leak still wasn't fixed. I called the company back. They came, replaced a little more and retightened everything.
We went through this cycle about 4 times.
Finally, after I made the suggestion, they decided that they'd change the cutoffs and stop the leak. It's fixed now.
Later, I started thinking about how we often hurt ourselves by doing 'just enough' and rushing to get things done.
Instead of doing things right, we often choose to just get things done. (click to tweet this statement)
In the end, we save no time or heartache, we only create more.
So, just a little reminder to us all…
Do it right. The first time!

Seriously?! I am pissed...who does this type of thing?
Let me start at the beginning. My hubby works graveyard and my youngest was up puking all night ( Guess who else was up all night?) . Hubby gets home and removes the wireless phones from our bedroom. Hubby,Bryce (8 yr old) and I lay in bed sleeping 'til about lunch time. My 11 yr old was at poppa's house and the 16 yr old can fend for himself for a little while.(This is not how things happen around here. I'm usually up doing things around the house/getting ready for work,cooking....etc)
Well, apparently one of my neighbors called my house a couple of times. Nobody answered....she left a message on my machine : "Hey,you guys. I need to take "Jessica" to the doctor,so I'm leaving "Ronnie" and "James" at your house. If you need me you have my cell number. Thanks."
Yup, I got up to 2 extra kids in my house. And this mom hadn't talked to me or hubby. Her excuse was that the 11 yr old told her it was okay!! (By this time Bri was here)
Before you guys start freaking out my oldest was keeping an eye on the EXTRA children that were at my house....he said he thought that we'd agreed to babysit. Like I'd be sleeping while supposedly doing that. Ugh! Why would you leave your children at somebody else's house without making sure it was okay? How did they know we were even home?
Am I right to be annoyed? As soon as she got home I marched over there and asked her if she was crazy. Her youngest is 5, her middle child is 8 and her oldest is 13 (the one that went to doc). And no it wasn't an emergency....
I saw that when I read replies. I stick with miscommunication.
Did you set her straight when she returned? So that this won't happen again. I did not read all of the replies.
Quoting brandyblx:
My 16 yr old wasn't up when she dropped her kids off. He got up when he heard "new" voices in the house. He watched them because I was asleep. Nobody asked him to.Quoting coug7099:
It sounds like a miscommunication. Your 16 year old accepted the kids without asking you. He watched them. It all worked out. I'd move on.
I am guessing that you have watched them in the past.
What does that have to do with anything? I still maintain that she shouldn't have dropped her kids off without communicating with me about leaving them. And yes, I fussed at her...she is now pissed at me. Said she thinks our children shouldn't play together anymore.
Quoting coug7099:Quoting brandyblx:
Quoting coug7099:
I am guessing that you have watched them in the past.
I have not read through the replies. How did they get in? Do they have a key?
No, I would never do that. I even call my mil when I need to leave my dd(s) with her unexpectedly. In my opinion that was extremely rude.
After getting the 11 yr old to say he thought it was ok he let them in. And,yes Bri has been fussed at also. But like I said before it is still more the adult's fault than the little boy's.
Quoting Josie.Grossie:
I have not read through the replies. How did they get in? Do they have a key?

I was thinking about how to use LDD for some really fun brik-warsy stuff and realized.
Mech combat with infantry, tanks, and buildings to blow up :twisted
How the game would work is that each player has a mech (or some other vehicle if they choose not to use a mech) and gameplay will be one of two options:
1. The group is a team fighting some unknown faction and trying to take them down permanently
2. We have two player teams and it works a bit like Risk. Each team has armies that they get every turn and they attempt to take over the entire world to win. Each battle is fought brikwars style to decide who wins.
Either way, creation rules:
1.Spend no more than 25 or so CP for your mini-fig. If you need to go a little over for something PM me and I'll most likely let it happen
2. Spend no more than 35-45 CP for your starting vehicle. Upgrades will be available as this goes along so don't worry if you have a super-mech idea but not enough CP for it.
3. More CP will be earned as the campaign goes, CP earned from a target is the target's CP cost for mini's and half for vehicles. CP can also be earned in other ways, such as setting up for a teammate, tanking well, or other feats.
If that's all... Welcome to M3,
Feel free to comment or question!

Shop Prints Tate custom prints Prints by artist
Elizabeth I, 1966 is an image of the current British Monarch, Elizabeth II. The picture was taken from a newspaper and re-photographed by the artist. The grey in the image resembles the black and white photograph from which the piece derives. Richter confirmed that the I in the title of the piece indicates that this print was the first of the two versions of the same subject, which were made at the same time.
Note: image shown is our best representation of how your print will look. See more info on Custom Prints
Gerhard Richter is a German painter. Richter began painting enlarged copies of black-and-white photographs using only a range of greys. He became known for relying on actual subject matter when painting, even for his abstract works. In the late 1970s he stopped relying on real-life subjects but it is said that his paintings retained a second hand look that made his works look as though he was still painting an actual subject.

Once a Service Contract has been specified in a Tigerstripe project, the corresponding technology specific detailed profiles may be generated with Tigerstripe. In addition to the output of user-defined plugins, the generation may produce multiple separate specifications for the Service Contract depending on the selected target technologies. Tigerstripe supports all three integrations profiles that implement the OSS/J Design Guidelines through "built-in" plugins:
Before any of these outputs can be generated, they need to be enabled and configured properly. The configuration is done through the Tigerstripe Descriptor. For more details on each of the Built-in Integration Profiles, please refer to the corresponding section below:
- Configuring generation for J2EE Integration Profile
- Configuring generation for XML Integration Profile
- Configuring generation for Web Service Integration Profile.
If you have been provided with a plugin.zip file by another user, you can use the plugin to generate code, but you cannot edit or modify the rules that the plugin contains. To deploy the plugin in your workspace, simply place the .zip file in the Tigerstripe plug-ins directory - ECLIPSE_HOME\tigerstripe\plugins where ECLIPSE_HOME is the install directory of eclipse. The next time you open the Generate Wizard (see below), the new plugin will be available for selection and configuration.
See the section Plugin Design Tasks for more information on how to create a plugin.
Once the selected plugins have been configured properly (see sections above), they may be generated by Tigerstripe, by triggering the generation on the project.
To do so, make sure the Tigerstripe Perspective is active.
Select the Generate button from the toolbar. The following wizard appears:
Similarly to other Tigerstripe wizard, this wizard will present the target project to be generated by identifying the corresponding source folder. If no Tigerstripe project is in scope, this field will be left blank; please select a target project through the Browse button.
When the target project to generate has been identified, the wizard will show what Integration Profiles have been selected, and will be generated.
Press Finish to trigger the generation engine. To change the configuration of any of the integration profiles, please refer to the corresponding section mentioned above.
Note: before a project can be generated, all errors in this project must be fixed. If the project contains active Errors (see Auditor), Tigerstripe allows to continue and ignore errors. However, the generation is not guaranteed to succeed in that case.

Mostly Cloudy
BRISTOL, Conn. - Comedian Will Ferrell's news anchor persona Ron Burgundy interviewed Denver Broncos Quarterback Peyton Manning for an upcoming segment on ESPN's SportsCenter.
ESPN published a 1:18 preview of the interview on YouTube.
It begins, in typical Burgundy fashion, with a question about facial hair.
"You are one of the great quarterbacks playing the game today. You've had a lot of success, and yet you've done it all without a mustache. You're running around out there and - I'll be honest with you - you look like a succulent baby lamb," Ferrell says.
Manning takes a moment to think of a response.
"I guess, to tell you the truth, I never had much of a desire to grow any facial hair," the quarterback eventually says. "I think I've managed to play quarterback okay without a mustache."
The preview of the Dec. 5 interview is Ferrell's second on-air appearance in character as Anchorman 2 is scheduled to open on Dec. 18. Over the weekend, he appeared as Burgundy on KXMB news in Bismarck, N.D. and co-anchored a newscast.

RED HILL, S.C. - For Steve Wilhelm and Beth LeMaster, the black of burned stumps and logs and the charred bark of tall pines are signs of a forest on the road back to ecological health.
The U.S. Forest Service rangers say fire, applied regularly in small, low-intensity doses, can be the forest's best friend, a check against the dangerous buildup of tinder-dry fuels that can feed an uncontrollable blaze.
Better to burn now, creating a healthier habitat for trees, deer, turkey and quail, than risk a wildfire later. And burning more of the Sumter National Forest, much of which lies in Edgefield and McCormick counties, is exactly what the Forest Service aims to do, torching as much as 36,700 acres in a plan enacted in January and bitterly opposed by environmentalists.
It also plans to set burns with state foresters on private land and in state parks and to link up with the Army Corps of Engineers near the shoreline of Lake Thurmond, raising the likelihood that lakefront homeowners will have a higher exposure to smoke and ash.
Doubling the smoke also will have an impact on the thousands of mountain bikers, hunters, equestrians, campers, fishers, bird watchers and hikers, some of whom don't seem to mind.
Paul Farrow, of Martinez, the president of the Augusta-area chapter of the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association, said a shot of smoke is a fair trade for a chance to see a deer and the dip and roll of the land.
"Who wants to walk or ride through a forest where all you can see is four feet in front of you?" said Mr. Farrow, 48, an engineer at Savannah River Site. "You get a chance to see wildlife. If it was a wall of green, you couldn't see a thing."
More smoke is also in the offing for the increasing number of refugees from around Augusta and Aiken who are buying up private timber tracts and farmland that honeycomb Sumter's Long Cane Ranger District, which includes the western third of Edgefield County and most of McCormick County.
Only 28 percent of its 424,263 acres is federally owned.
"People like to get out here in that country. They want to get away from it all," said David Satcher, of Edgefield, a real estate agent for Atlantic Coast Properties, who says he is seeing more sales from Richmond, Columbia and Aiken counties. "A lot of people like to have that national forest as a neighbor. They just feel like there'll be that many less people moving in on them down the road."
Fighting fire with fire is not a new notion in Southern forests.
"Fire is a natural phenomenon," said Mrs. LeMaster, the chief ranger of the Long Cane district. Whether caused by lightning or by man, fires have long thinned the forest.
"Forest ecosystems throughout the South have been created by fire," said David Van Lear, a Clemson University professor and one of the nation's leading fire ecologists. "Fire was the predominant ecological process that shaped the Southern landscape."
He said American Indians in the South regularly burned the forest to clear farmland, create tastier forage for deer and other game, control insects and other pests and cut lanes of travel that also made it difficult for an enemy to creep up on a village.
Not so, argues environmental attorney Steve Novak of WildLaw, an Alabama nonprofit organization that drew up a lengthy appeal of the Sumter plan on behalf of the Sierra Club and other organizations. In the wet forests of the South, fire was a relatively infrequent visitor.
"We disagree strongly with the notion that the Cherokee were firebugs," he said.
In their appeal, environmentalists say the increased use of controlled burns on Sumter's three widely scattered South Carolina districts is based on faulty science. It is also a wrong-headed application of a Western cure for an Eastern forest, they say.
Under the banner of improving the health of the forest, prescribed burns and tree thinning are just a clever cover for what the agency is really all about - logging, environmentalists contend.
Nevertheless, the Forest Service is moving ahead.
What Mrs. LeMaster and other foresters want is a forest of fewer trees spaced by open ground - a return to the parklike mix of grasslands and tall trunks encountered by the Spanish conquistadors in the 1500s and detailed by wandering 18th-century botanist John Bartram and his son William.
As she checks the condition of a 300-acre stand burned by one of Mr. Wilhelm's crews in April, Mrs. LeMaster notes that it burned hotter and higher than ideal, charring bark about 20 feet above the ground while killing younger loblolly pines, brush, sweet gums and red oak. It also blackened the forest floor, but didn't roast tree roots or kill the seeds and nutrients embedded in the soil.
Mrs. LeMaster and Mr. Wilhelm seem satisfied with the success of this burn and the new green that's bursting out of the black.
"We purposely don't want it to burn everything," Mr. Wilhelm said. "When it's hot and dry, everything will burn and you just have bare dirt, and that soil moves whether it's farming or fire. That's your future forest and it's not what we want."
Burning issuesI
In 2002, 3,567 wildfires in South Carolina burned 30,943 acres, according to the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho. In Georgia, 7,179 wildfires burned 159,951 acres. In contrast, there were fewer wildfires in Colorado that year, 3,072, but they burned 915,291 acres.

Do Gamers Really Want Originality?
All I ever see are people complaining about how a game isn't original or unique or innovative or progressive.
It's a common topic of argument and discussion, and I've seen critics suffer from this, "if it isn't original in some way, it just can't get a high score" philosophy. But in truth, do we really want originality? Do we really want something we've never seen or tried before?
While it's certainly true that without innovation of some kind, without developers taking chances, we get nothing but stagnation. But it's only human nature to be drawn to the familiar and be initially skeptical of the unfamiliar. Furthermore, when it comes to video games, and the rising trend of "I don't want to pay for anything," consumers really have to be convinced to make a purchase, right? And how convinced can they really be if they've got nothing but questions?
I think the bottom line is that while we all say we want originality, what we're actually saying is that we want something new, but not too new. We want to see a new mechanic here and there, we want to see a different approach to conquering an admittedly familiar obstacle, and we want perhaps a new level of immersion via better storytelling and cinematography. I believe that's true. That being said, it's amazing how fast we dismiss brave attempts that fall short.
Unfortunately, if a designer takes a chance and falls well shy of his insightful goal, that designer is in big trouble because we're just not going to buy the product. It could be the most innovative thing ever but if it's part broken, we don't care. And obviously, we shouldn't reward inferior products...but at the same time, aren't we sort of contradicting ourselves? Aren't we only saying, "I want something new but that becomes completely irrelevant if the game is mediocre?" Further, if it's too big of a departure from the past three decades of gaming, would we even recognize it as a "video game?"
There's a lot of caveats to "I want more originality!" I think we need to admit that. The most unique games almost never top the sales charts, regardless of critical acclaim. They can do well, no doubt, but there's no chance of competing with the heavy hitters...which are, last I checked, all quite familiar.

What bugs me the most are franchises that don't do enough new from game to game.
I'm one of the few that often plays mediocre games for the original stuff in them. Hunted, Two Worlds II, Dark Void, WET, I like that they try new stuff and it's sad that games like COD are just expansions that go for full price.
Friday, August 10, 2012 @ 10:22:47 PM
Look at the crazy unique games on iPhone and Android! 3DS has Mario and people want PS3 sequels, prequels or spinoffs on Vita!
Many games mash up genres, like Dishonored, or Borderlands these days. The Indie space is where I turn to for originality.
Friday, August 10, 2012 @ 10:46:00 PM
While it would be nice if Catherine made more or Journey and outsold COD. I can't make other people go out and buy it, I just can't. I can only enjoy it on my terms.

Saturday, August 11, 2012 @ 1:53:30 AM
Think about it: We want old gameplay mechanics back, we want jrpgs to be how they used to be, we don't like the latest changes of <insert nearly *any* franchise here>, we hand out bucketload of cred to anything "oldschool", we don't like new online features, we don't want a new console, we don't like any new gaming platforms, we definitely don't like any new social platforms, we strongly dislike any new payment models, we hate new distribution models, when a new handheld is released the first question we ask is if it can play PS1 classics, whenever an old game is re-released we scream in joy for the possibility to purchase them *again* and if a new game looks like something that could have been released ten years ago we faint in sheer ecstasy! :D
I mean, look at us... We don't exactly encourage creativity and innovation, do we? lol :)

Then you get games like Catherine, which has took the puzzle genre and gave it a real twist, a long with character - which I thought would have been impossible. But just looking at my PS3 titles, has there been many original titles this gen? Most of mine just take simple formulas of fighting games and action games (Not as many platformers or RPG's as I'd like.) I know there are a lot of indie games yes, but I didn't buy a PS3 to play mobile phone games - I know there are a few exceptions like Limbo and Journey, but most of them just seem awful.
It seems if anything this gen the word innovate comes along when ever they spring on a new control method, however most games made for these systems are two tied down by the requirements of the controller - most of Kinects games being on rails for example.
Saturday, August 11, 2012 @ 4:45:32 AM
To use a couple of familiar examples, Im definitely in the large group here that wants a new Final Fantasy that returns to a traditional turn-based mechanic. Likewise, when Dragon Age III comes out, I want it very much to go back to the mechanics used in Origins (which is fairly close to what Bioware games have been for a long time) rather than the more 'original' ones used in DAII.

Originality and innovation are great and they are rewarded just look at the world. If they weren't we would still be living with tech from the 17/18 century (essentially a steampunk reality), but luckily that is not the case. Games just have to remember that if your going to be creative release those games around the summer so that you have a better chance of making money. If you get creative and release in spring/fall, well then your just not that good at business and you're most likely going to fail with that particular title.
The difference with rewards though is it doesn't necessarily mean you are going to become rich from it. Painters over the last several centuries have learned this more than anybody. Valkyria Chronicles is my example of being rewarded both from gamers and critics alike however their pocket books aren't exactly activisions now are they?

It's not just Santa coming to town, but an epic transformation in commerce. The holiday season gives us a glimpse into the future of shopping behavior, and we're not too far from online shopping becoming the modus operandi of American consumers. Strip malls may never be the same.
According to comScore, e-commerce spending is up 15 percent for the first 39 days of the 2011 holiday season. The nearly $25 billion spent online in that period should not be viewed simply as an indication of lots of holiday cheer. With more online shopping taking place throughout the year, and online consumer confidence tracking with it, the notion of having to go to the store is leaving our collective memories.
Meanwhile, online shopping strategies improve with the proliferation of customer ratings and reviews on brand and retail sites, Facebook fan pages with dynamic shopping apps and mobile device technology aimed at streamlining on-the-go customers.
Etsy, the online destination for all things handmade and vintage, is one of the companies best positioned to benefit from this shift in shopping behavior. The company's remarkable growth under CTO-turned-CEO Chad Dickerson may seem technology-driven, but it's also about consumer buying patterns.
"On Etsy, peak holiday shopping begins with Black Friday and continues through the following weeks. This year our community sold a record amount of goods on Cyber Monday," said Emily Bidwell from Etsy's merchandising team. "Tuesday's sales surpassed that amount, and continue to be strong. In our view it's not about one date on the calendar; it's a time of year when people take advantage of the opportunity to find all their gifts at a value."
And that last word, value, is where it really starts to get interesting. With online retailers being challenged by flash sale sites like Park & Bond, the GQ-Gilt Groupe menswear site, and One Kings Lane, which specializes in housewares, both perceived and real value is on a premium.
Speaking at the Wharton Business School's BizTech event after Black Friday, Edison Ventures' Mike Kopelman said, "the barrier to enter the flash deals business is not high, but the barrier to endure is. "
This may be true, but even if sites like Jack Threads and Fab.com don't have long life spans as businesses, the short-term impact on major retailers and consumer behavior is huge. They are re-writing what value means to consumers, along with companies like Groupon and LivingSocial, which raised another $176 million from private investors recently.
It used to be that Black Friday was a day that consumers knew they'd get the absolute best deal and the most value. That's why the alarms were set and the cars packed with gifts shortly thereafter.
Now there's Green Monday the following week, which happens be called Cyber Week. And Free Shipping Day -- the last day to get a gift delivered before Christmas Eve -- which falls on Dec. 16th this year -- so more price-conscious deals are to be expected. All that said, why worry about being trampled at the entryway to some big box retailer and missing time with the family (or sleep) if that same deal -- if not a better one -- is available the following week or month online?
Perhaps this is a thought one will soon have. But...
"It's not about shopping in person one day, then online another. People are shopping in different channels and expecting the same experience no matter where they are," said Etsy's Bidwell.
Well, OK. So if the Black Friday experience -- at least the fun, shopping-spree experience -- is still desired online, where will consumers go? The main thing that online shopping sites don't provide compared to their brick-and-mortar brethren is a feeling of shared experience and interest. We may all be fighting for that Tickle-Me Elmo or Banana Republic sweater, but at least we're fighting for the same reason.
Lyst.com, a social curation startup that combines features of Twitter with elements of music discovery sites like Last.fm, provides a look at a possible answer. Its members sign up and receive a personalized feed of fashion items relevant to their own tastes. So there you go, reaching for that sweater knowing someone else shares your interest.
"Socially-curated shopping was designed principally to help people discover items for themselves, however, it's now changing the way gifts are bought online as well," said Lyst.com CEO Chris Morton. "Users can now share detailed lists of items they love with friends and family to make sure they get the perfect present as the holiday season approaches."
As the reliance on Black Friday, and brick-and-mortar shopping trips, decreases and the focus on online increases, companies like Etsy, Gilt and Lyst.com stand ready to support your search for unique gifts that come with the backing of a community. But even if it's not them on the front lines, major e-retailers like Walmart and Macy's are certain to adjust to the changing landscape, as well.
Many of these Fortune companies and fashion retailers are already populating their sites with customer conversations in the forms of ratings, reviews, questions, answers and customer stories. The next layer will involve bringing your social networks onto these sites, or vice versa.
Ultimately, you may have to give up that feeling of finding some amazing deal hidden away from the view of others on a Black Friday morning in some back aisle or discounted clothing bin of a big box retailer. In exchange, you'll end up with a lot more time to make your gift purchases backed with the kind of buying confidence that only your friends and family -- Facebook friends and Twitter followers included -- can give you.
Regardless of how it all transpires and what's gained or lost, we should all be pretty excited about the things to come both with the holidays and in the world of commerce.

Robert De Niro has been self-parodying his glory days for most of the past decade, so it's unfortunately not surprising he would consent to get back behind the wheel of a taxi again for the maudlin "Being Flynn.''
It's not a great idea. De Niro's Oscar-mongering performance is undermined by reminders of the earlier film — his late wife's name is Jody (as in Jodie Foster), she has a boyfriend named Travis (as in Bickle) and at one point De Niro's character sleeps on a bench with the advertising slogan "since 1975'' (when "Taxi Driver'' was filmed).
The real coup de grace for this would-be serious-minded drama is the sledgehammer-subtle direction of Paul Weitz (who is also the screenwriter), who enabled his star's paycheck mugging in the execrable "Little Fockers.''
This adaptation of Nick Flynn's memoir "Another Bulls – – t Night in Suck City'' is dominated by De Niro's look-at-me-I'macting-again performance as Flynn's father, Jonathan, an alcoholic who's also a racist homophobe increasingly given to paranoid, delusional rants and fits of violence.
When this finally gets Jonathan thrown out of his cluttered apartment, he calls Nick — whom he hasn't seen since he was sent to jail for passing bad checks 18 years earlier — for help putting his belongings into storage.
Nick, underplayed by Paul Dano — who doesn't stand a chance against his showboating co-star — has his own issues.
An aspiring writer like the father who abandoned him, and wounded by the suicide of his single mom (Julianne Moore, seen in extended flashbacks), Nick goes to work at a homeless shelter.
One of Weitz's many missteps as the film's writer was moving the action from Flynn's native Boston to a fantasy version of Manhattan where Jonathan's disheveled, alcoholic cabbie somehow finds it easy to sleep with his middle-aged female fares.
At least until he's forced to sleep alone in the cab, which he loses (along with his license) after a drunken accident.
After descending from sleeping on couches to subway grates, Jonathan inevitably lands at the shelter where Nick works.
Up to this point, the movie's most genuinely affecting scenes have been taking place there as Nick nightly faces clients trying to hold onto their dignity, and often their sanity.
But the arrival of Jonathan and the movie star playing him destroys the mood.
When Jonathan talks to his battered self in the mirror, it's hard not to think we're looking at an older version of his "Taxi Driver'' character, Travis Bickle.
You keep expecting him to say, "You talking to me?'' — a line De Niro has parodied in everything from "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle'' to "Meet the Fockers'' (movies that, like "Being Flynn,'' his company produced).
Martin Scorsese certainly wouldn't criminally waste the talents of Olivia Thirlby (as a co-worker whom Nick is sort of dating, at least until he starts doing blow) and Lili Taylor, Flynn's real-life wife, in do-nothing roles.
Taylor, as a recovering crack addict and the shelter's resident philosopher, is called upon to deliver the most blunt line of the typically too-on-the-nose dialogue: "We catch them on the way down — their next step is the morgue.''
And then there's the pretentious narration delivered alternately by father and son, which probably worked much better on the printed page.
"Don't worry, you're in the hands of a master storyteller,'' Jonathan assures us.
Sadly, De Niro's Jonathan delivers a more accurate critique of "Being Flynn" when he tells a fellow street crazy who thinks he's being filmed, "That would be one boring, redundant piece-of-s – – t movie.''

PSXE User Review Contest: The Winner Does Rally Racing Proud
We have yet another different winner for the latest installment of our So You Think You Can Review Video Games user review contest.
This time, it's Temjin001 for his excellent analysis of DiRT 3. His user review has been published as an official guest review and because I've got some extra stuff lying around, he can also take his pick of the available prizes (just follow the links, Temjin, and bear in mind I've also got Spec Ops: The Line). As I've said before, we're going to keep the number of user reviews selected for the final poll to around four or five; this way, PSXE peeps don't have to read a ton, and it also keeps the competition high.
This week, in response to the news that microtransactions via the free-to-play format could be the wave of the future, we thought we'd ask you what you guys think. Do you like the idea of the industry shifting in this direction? Would you rather only a few select titles utilize this form of distribution? Or do you just hate it altogether? Let us know.

like them or not, all games next gen will have them in one way or another!
dunno if F2P will be that way forward, and industry standard but its certainly one of the ways.
one way it could really improve things is cheaper games tailoured to what you want.
for instance instead of paying 100 bucks for a MP and SP game pay 30 for each.
i never play games online so why should i have to pay for 80% of the game that im never going to touch?
or break it down even more and let customers choose which maps they like.
instead of buying a game and these are the maps let customers play all of them for free once than let them choose a number of which ones they like and than later they can pay extra for others.
instead of releasing these map packs on day one and forcing people to pay for those, why not let people sacrifice maps on the disk for them?
all about choice.
most important thing though it has to be worth it.
if you start making customers feel like there having to pay for things that should be included in the initial game purchase than were just back to square one.

The biggest problem is that they want to get better .... Today! We all want to be better today, not tomorrow.
That's why people who are desperate for a cure to make their awful symptoms go away, jump from one treatment to another.

If that was possible, the doctors, therapists and everyone else would have access to that "magic" treatment and would be advising the thousands of sufferers how to end their
problems. This means that you don't have to keep searching for that elusive cure that will make you feel better instantly .... And that's a relief! Once you realise that it will take a little work and a little time you're heading in the right direction. I cannot promise to cure you overnight, but I can promise that when you start using the Neurocalm Method™ you'll start to feel better very quickly and by continuing to work with the method, you will eliminate your anxiety problem completely within a few weeks.
