ADVANTAGE II Dog Flea ControlPrice From:Regular Price: $60.99Sale Price: $41.53Compare At: $68.99Free Shipping On Sale
How Advantage II Works
Use Advantage II monthly to kill fleas on your dog. One of its active ingredients, imidacloprid, acts on the nervous system of the flea to cause paralysis and subsequent death. The other active ingredient of Advantage II is pyriproxyfen, an insect growth regulator (IGR) that, in combination with imidacloprid, kills all flea life stages on the treated dog and its surroundings, and prevents fleas from infesting your home.
Protecting your dog from fleas is important.
Part of keeping your dog healthy means year-round flea protection. That is because flea bites can:
- Cause discomfort for your dog;
- In some cases, cause an allergic skin reaction;
- Cause irritation, which may lead to skin infections;
- Transmit other disease-causing organisms, including tapeworms;
Advantage II
Advantage II kills all flea life stages following contact with an Advantage II treated pet and prevents fleas on a treated dog from infesting the home.
- Kills fleas through contact, so fleas don't need to bite to die;
- Kills fleas within 12 hours of initial application;
- Kills reinfesting fleas (e.g. newly hatched fleas jumping back on the dog) within 2 hours;
- Kills lice on dogs;
- Is waterproof;
Millions of pet owners have used effective Advantage Topical Solution to control flea infestation on their dogs. Now its successor, Advantage II, works through contact, killing fleas at all life stages and preventing fleas on a treated dog from infesting your home. Learn More

K9 Advantix II: 5-Way Repel-and-Kill Pest Protection
K9 Advantix II combines imidacloprid, permethrin and pyriproxyfen to repel and kill ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes that may cross your dog's path. Imidacloprid and permethrin attack the above parasites' nerve cells at different sites, causing them to become paralyzed and die. Pyriproxyfen, an insect growth regulator, affects the early flea stages to prevent development of the flea to the next stage. When combined, these three compounds repel and kill ticks, fleas and mosquitoes and prevent the development of all flea life stages.
Help prevent ticks from attaching
With K9 Advantix II, most ticks are repelled and killed before they can attach, which may reduce the risk of transmitting disease-causing organisms to the host.

K9 Advantix II offers protection against fleas in ALL stages of development. The active ingredients in K9 Advantix II break the flea life cycle by:
- Killing fleas on dogs within 12 hours after initial application
- Killing fleas before they lay eggs
- Killing reinfesting fleas within 2 hours
- Preventing fleas on a treated dog from infesting the home
- Preventing development of fleas, flea eggs, larvae (maggots) and pupae (cocoons)
Repels mosquitoes
K9 Advantix II protects your dog from mosquitoes which may reduce the pain, discomfort, itchiness and immune responses caused by mosquito bites.
Repels and prevents biting flies from blood-feeding
Biting flies can cause severe stress to dogs. K9 Advantix II tames the nuisance of biting flies by preventing them from blood-feeding on your dog.

A word from Milk 'n Honey
Years ago, before paved floors, Spanish bar keeps would cover their drinks with a napkin to keep dust from falling into their customers' drinks. The napkins eventually evolved into small plates to hold food and from there, the food on top of the drink became known as "tapas". We serve an eclectic variety of Spanish fusion style tapas at our locally owned restaurants "milk & honey" and "Alcazar." We look forward to seeing you soon!Continued

- Urban diningOnemanstreasureVIPDined on 9/27/2014We had a very good meal with good service this past weekend. The gambas with lemon butter garlic sauce was notably outstanding, while the maple creme brûlée with bacon lacked the depth in richness that regular creme brûlées have, but we'd give Milk 'n Honey an A for originality! We sat on the small terrace, which gave us a feeling of being in any city other than Santa Barbara - a nice feeling for locals, who like to escape every once in a while without leaving!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing Tapas BarelaineVIPDined on 9/20/2014We are new to the Santa Barbara area and have been twice to Milk 'n Honey. Both times were amazing! Portions are healthy and easily shareable. Noteworthy are the shrimp dish (gambas) - preferred them in the lemon garlic sauce vs. the chipotle sauce, the grilled romaine salad (to die for!!!) and the sirloin bites concoction in sherry/butter! OMG!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great tapasOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/19/2014Surprised and thrilled the food was really great and a fun drink listSpecial Features:
- Great food and servicedpdaveDined on 9/12/2014Had a great time with my fiancee!! Love the food and had an awesome server.Special Features:
- Nice HideawayamysanfranDined on 9/5/2014I have been here a few times with different people and I have always made an impression with them bringing them here. Great Food , wine and cocktails are delicious and besides that they offer happy hour!Plus the energy is vibrant , ambiance is very relaxing and the table booths are very unique and cozy with that special someone!Special Features:
- Food is amazing!YasmineVIPDined on 8/30/2014All dishes were absolutely delicious. Service was fast & friendly. Sat outside (small patio)Special Features:
- Great Last Minute FindLuvsusy24Dined on 8/22/2014Normally, I'm apprehensive about going to a tapas bar with my kids and husband, because I don't feel everyone gets a proper amount of food to fill them up. But " milk n honey" was the complete opposite, the good portions were decent and the food was amazing! We all left satisfied! The avocado hummus, the sweet potatoes fries and the pizza were not just delicious and innovative, but kid friendly as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, questionable serviceChronicEaterDined on 8/22/2014I've eaten here several times before with great food and spectacular service. I felt as though the service depreciated when my co-diner and I presented our IDs. Every other time I was with an older crowd and the service was fantastic. But this time left me with the feeling that due to the younger age of the table, we were given less than desirable service— younger diners tend to leave meagre tips? We sat for 30 min to get our drinks, during which time the tables around us had drink and food orders taken and placed. When the waitress brought our drinks, we waited 20 more minutes to order food. The food and drinks were great, but if you ignore the table because you don't expect a good tip, you're sort of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.Special Features:
- Foodgazm!!!!cjsweetheart1226Dined on 8/20/2014Very delectable food. Everything on the menu is deeeeelllliiicious. My favorite are the PB & J sliders. Soooo amazing!! The small plates are great for sharing. A must try. The flavor combinations of each plate are spot on. All your taste buds are satisfied.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service and delicious tapas!HungrygirlDined on 8/8/2014The restaurant was packed and the staff of 5 people managed to run the place well. We were seated by the kitchen in a romantic, albeit loud, booth. The noise level was pretty high in the entire dining room, but was amazingly enough part if this restaurants charm! Small and dim lighting, fun hustle and bustle type restaurant. Delicious and fun Spanish tapas. Lots of pork and lamb. Try the avocado hummus. Yum!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, service could use helpwhiskeyinmywaterDined on 8/2/2014The food and drinks were absolutely fantastic!! I highly suggest the Brussels sprouts. While they seemed to have enough of a staff, it took our waitress quite a while to greet us. It then took forever to try and get a check from her. So much so, it took longer to ask for our check then it did for our food to arrive once we placed our order. We were not necessarily in a hurry, but it was just kind of annoying. Especially, we she had to walk by our table every time she walked to her other tables outside.Special Features:
- tapas without olives?StephenDined on 7/28/2014first tapas bar i have been to with not an olive, almond or bit of octopus in sight. still good food though. lamp pops delicious. noisy. server very charming and tried hard to be attentive but she had the entire restaurant to serve - i counted 9 tables plus a few outside. i'd go back only after calling to be sure that i wouldn't wait 10 minutes to order a salad or a 2nd drink. good drinks.Special Features:
- Best tapas in Santa BarbaraIlikefoodfoodisgoodDined on 7/26/2014Milk 'n Honey is one of several amazing places owned by Alvaro Rojas. The food is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish that came out was so perfectly crafted that I couldn't have asked for anything better. They also have a wonderful selection of mixed drinks divided by type of alcohol that they lovingly prepare. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Barbara and will definitely be getting my business again.Special Features:
- Great Tapas!AustineaterVIPDined on 7/21/2014We loved everything they put in front of us! From the drinks to the food, it was all amazingSpecial Features:
- Great FindNevilleDined on 7/18/2014My wife and I loved the food. We even re-ordered a few items, they were that good. Drinks were good too! It was very crowded, even for late in the evening, so make a reservation. Can't wait to try their sister restaurants.Special Features:
- Milk & Honey is Heavenly!itsadilleyDined on 7/2/2014What an outstanding menu! We loved this place so much that we made a point of going back before we left town. We thoroughly enjoyed the wait staff and got to meet the owner who is a wonderful chef in his own right! YUMMY! And if you're short on cash and time, make sure you at least check out the Happy Hour specials!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Milk and Honey SuccesssarielaDined on 6/21/2014Wanted to try and have a night out without just a typical meal. The variety of both cocktails and tapas was excellent. Something for everyone. The brussel sprouts and and lamb sliders were our favorites, but everything was great as well like the patatas bravas and shrimp tapas. We tried 3 whiskey cocktails which were all very good. The tequila drink, Heat of Passion was the only one I probably wouldn't order again. Super spicy to the point of numbing our taste buds for the food :)Special Features:
- Hot, Loud and DarkCocktailLoverDined on 6/20/2014I love a bar atmosphere but this place was stifling. Dark and no air conditioning. Music so loud it was impossible to converse. Lighting is very poor. The menus where filthy, covered in food and stains. The food and drinks where acceptable not impressive but I may just have been too uncomfortable to be happy with the food and drinks. It might be considered intimate and charming if it was not so loud.
- Excellent tapas! Must go!Veronica7Dined on 6/13/2014Milk and Honey is fantastic! We loved the Lamburghinis, prawns with garlic over rice, pears with brie and balsamic vinegar, PBnJ sliders, to name a few. Excellent service. Great energy! Must Go!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome PlaceLuvgdfoodDined on 6/12/2014We went to M&H based on reviews and the fact that it was tapas. We didn't expect such awesome food, great and friendly service by all the staff and such a vibrant scene. It is loud at times, so if quiet is what your looking for, you may want to reconsider. The chipotle shrimp was so good, I ordered it twice! Loved it so much that we went back for the incredible bacon cream brulee the next night. Loved it. We'll be back the next time we're in town!Special Features:
- The following 49 reviews are from the Milk 'n Honey reviews archive.
- Awesome!DanniDined on 5/31/2014I loved this place!! Food was fantastic! My fave was the lamb burgers. Drinks were fantastic! The dessert cookie with ice dream was delicious! Ambiance fun and hip. Service was fantastic. The pork sliders and one of the pizzas was really good too. Yam fries and aioli sauce were sooo good. And I don't normally like yam fries!! The manager was on it! He took care of us. It's rather small inside but doable. There is an outside area too with a nice wall fireplace. I will be back here whenever back in Santa Barbara!Special Features:
- Nice !GeoLinVIPDined on 5/29/2014Great food and cocktails. Menu had lots of not usually seen and interesting choices.We will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great TapastrevorDined on 5/23/2014Amazing drink menu, bordering on mixology style beverages. Great tapas foods with unique mixes on classic tapas, and inventive mixes of flavors and styles. My favorite was the various sliders they have on Hawaiian rolls. The service was amazing too.Special Features:
- PatienceladyZVIPDined on 5/22/2014Service is a bit on the slow side, but the food is worth the wait so be patient.Special Features:
- YUMladyZVIPDined on 5/16/2014If your a foodie this is a place for you! You have to try the PB&J Sliders yum.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Girls Night Dinner!NCrisDined on 5/3/2014We went to Milk & Honey for my sister's bachelorette dinner and had a great time! We had several servers who rotated around helping the tables, one who seemed to be 'in-charge' but it was pretty fun having consistent help/service from the entire staff. This is a much smaller restaurant than I was anticipating, so I am VERY glad I had a reservation (a group of 4 was quoted a 45-60 min wait time as we were arriving at 8:30 pm on a Saturday.) All of the food we had was great, and they will even add one or two extra pieces to most menu items if you have 5 people instead of 4, as most items come with either 2 or 4 pieces in traditional tapa's style. Great bar drinks too!Special Features:
- Loud and uniqueSatchmoDined on 5/2/2014We dined w/ a group of 9 - Fri night. We enjoy tapas eating, so we were excited to try MilknHoney for the 1st time. Seating inside is "tight", but was fine. Music playing on speakers is VERY loud, so you cant talk to anyone sitting 2-3 people away. That's frustrating, but live & learn. Food: Nice, unique menu w lots of options for all tastes. We ordered 10-12 items, from Lamborghini Burgers to Tuna Tartar. Most plates were tasty, & our group cleaned the plates. Food arrived quickly, & we could order as we went along. Nice. Service: At some point our server vanished & never surfaced. We saw her eating at a table outside. We stopped getting water & had to wait 15+ min w/out attn b4 someone else came & took dessert orders. Odd.Special Features:
- Great find before SB Bowl show!woodsyDined on 4/19/2014Was looking for a last minute place while driving up to Santa Barbara to eat before a show and found Milk and Honey. Made a reso, and had great tapas, great wine, great service, was awesome all around!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Smoking hotRichbitchDined on 4/7/2014Okay the guys that work here are SOOO HOT. The food was okay. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad. If you go early there is almost no one there. Heard it's a hotspot on the weekends though. Can't verify that but sounds likely!Special Features:
- American Tapas in Santa BarbaraCowFarmerDined on 3/28/2014Very fun dining with well conceived and executed dishes that each are enough for 3 or 4 people to sample or 1 to gorge. Getting a smorgasbord of 4 items worked great for our party of 3. Especially liked the avocado hummus. Yum. Prices for Santa Barbara dining are low.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great placeARW2Dined on 3/22/2014Service, food, and drinks were loved by our entire group!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great new find!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 2/28/2014If you love flavor and the tapas style servings, then this place is for you! Love the infusion of flavors and variety of foods available. Drinks were unique and flavorful! The wait staff was extremely cheerful as well. I have already been telling all of my friends about this wonderful restaurant, and plan to go again soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummy tid-bitsNittersDined on 2/5/2014This tapas restaurant has an extensive menu making it hard to decide what to eat. We really enjoyed trying lots of things and sharing them. The wine list could use some improvement but they do have a full bar.Special Features:
- Good stuffSterlingArcherDined on 11/15/2013The guy that was bartending must have been having an off night because he was incredibly dull and disengaged but the food was good. Highly recommend the PBJ sliders they were fantastic. Skip the goat cheese, it's about 1/2 an ounce of cheese and 6 ounces of sauces.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sadly DisappointingLukewarmDined on 11/8/2013The food had glimpses of being excellent but there was too many issues even with the good pieces. We had a potato dish where many of the potatoes were raw and sliders that weren't very tasty
- Hands down my favorite tapas placeFab0314Dined on 10/25/2013I am a huge fan of tapas, have been to every new spot in LA and whenever in a new city it's the first spot I look for. The food here was awesome, layers of flavor sand very complexed interesting mix of ingredients. The place is casual chic and fun. The service was poor though, innitial plates were not at all paced and other plates seemed to take forever, she never checked on drinks, we had to go out if our way to get the hostess to find our server so we could either order more wine or cocktails. Other than that, it's a terrific restaurant. I definitely recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The servers need to relaxsterckDined on 10/11/2013This was our second time here. We really like the concept, location and food. Our first server was good, but after that two others took over. OMG! Relax! They would not leave us alone. Their lack of sincerity made it even worse. There were empty tables, so they weren't trying to rush us out. It's too bad as otherwise it can be a good experience here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Highly recommended by localsOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/13/2013Highly recommended by locals we knew but was just ok.
- Must Try MartiniOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/14/2013The "Hest of Passion" martini is out of this world. Worth going to M&H for this drink alone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Go To if you want TapasOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/9/2013I love the Date with a Pig, Brussel sprouts, and the sliders with spicy Pulled Pork. Alcazar is the sister Restaurant on the Mesa, also very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Tony Blair and the RIBA should be at one on education
I was grateful to David Dunster, head of school at Liverpool University, for alerting me to Tony Blair's new drive, reported in last Saturday's Independent, to attract an extra 75,000 foreign students to British universities and colleges. In pursuit of this objective, the prime minister has asked advertisers and marketing consultants to 're-brand' British universities and colleges in a concerted effort to capture the £700 million of fees that would accrue.

Banks Stewart: "More Classic Monsters in 50th"
Robert Banks Stewart – the writer of classic Doctor Who serials Terror of the the Zygons and The Seeds of Doom – has revealed there will be more monsters than just the Zygons in the 50th anniversary special…
Speaking recently, Stewart said
The Zygons are in there with all the others – particularly the Daleks and the Cybermen.
While the Dalek's and the Cybermen's involvement was never in doubt what's yet to be confirmed is just what will unite multiple Doctors and which of their other ancient foes will be menacing the celebrations (bring back the Master!):
[But] nobody yet knows what the plot of the 50th will be – Steven Moffat and his team in Cardiff, they are quite rightly keeping it all secret.
He also added that he felt the modern incarnation of the show was 'too adult'
My own personal opinion is that the modern Doctor Who should be aimed more at children. People very fondly remembered being scared by Doctor Who – now the plots seem to me a little too adult.
So who would you like to see facing the Doctors in the anniversary special? Do you agree that Doctor Who has stepped too far away from its remit of making its audience cower behind the sofa in terror? And is The Seeds of Doom really for children?
(Via Digital Spy)
6 Responses to Banks Stewart: "More Classic Monsters in 50th"
If the Master was to return, rather see Geoffrey Bevers back.
Oh I forgot to add I still hope that the classic Doctors will return. After all its to celebrate 50 years of Doctor Who not 8! But I disagree with Robert Banks Stewart saying the show is too adult, I think its the reverse.
A little too adult? Is he even watching the proigramme?
"Too adult" says the man whose own stories had some violent and frightening elements. His comment is plain BS.
Yes the Seeds of Doom springs to mind
And Terror of the Zygons, with a pitchfork-wielding fake Harry trying to kill Sarah.

Community college leaders and students said yesterday that they welcomed attention from Governor Deval Patrick, who on Monday called for sweeping changes to the 15-school system, even as they questioned whether his plan could make it through the Legislature intact.
In his State of the State address, Patrick proposed focusing the system on preparing students for technical jobs and centralizing the system by giving new authority to the Board of Higher Education. The board would distribute funding to individual schools based on several criteria, including enrollment and student success, and would also have a hand in setting student fees and deciding how the resulting revenue should be spent.

Thought Broadcasting is a psychotic symptom in which the patient has the experience that his or her thoughts are being broadcast aloud so that people around can hear the thoughts. This symptom is most common in bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia. The experience can be extremely upsetting and sort of like being "mentally naked." Suppose that when a young man standing in line at the local coffeehouse notices a cute girl, he believes that she can hear all of his private thoughts about her. Also imagine that he thinks the guy he is standing behind in line also might go after this girl. He is jealous of him, but he also thinks the other man can hear everything he is thinking. He is afraid the man in front of him can hear his every thought, and as a result is going to turn around and smack him in the face, and the girl is going to laugh at him. He gets very upset, leaves the coffee shop without getting his coffee, and goes home embarrassed, frightened, and discouraged. The patient who is having the experience of thought broadcasting believes that all of this is really happening. It can be a devastating and crippling condition.

This is for my Digital project at university. What I've done is looked at double page spreads in fashion magazines, and found ones where one side has the model, and the other side has only the brand name. I've then taken that page with the brand name, scanned it in, and erased the name using Photoshop, leaving only a bare but beautiful landscape.

Took pictures of my sister again today. It was tricky, because she just loves to look down in photos, when I want her to show her beautiful blue eyes!
I'm happy with this one, because she's actually smiling and not grimacing. She's very good at doing that, she doesn't know how to smile properly!
Sigh, teenagers.

Nate Robinson played out of his mind for the Chicago Bulls during the 2013 NBA Playoffs, but it was not enough to secure a return to the team. Instead, Robinson would hit the open market and he is waiting to see what team comes calling. One team that is reportedly interested in bringing in the dynamic guard is the Denver Nuggets.
From Marc Stein of ESPN.com:
Rumble out of the Rockies: Denver Nuggets expressing certifiable interest in trying to sign free-agent PG Nate Robinson
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 13, 2013
A return to Chicago, even after Nate's playoff heroics, appears unlikely in the extreme given reservations of Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 13, 2013
Robinson may be undersized, but he has the biggest heart of anyone in the league.
He goes all out on every play and his energy is contagious. If the Nuggets would be looking for a spark off the bench, it would be hard to blame them for taking a look in to Robinson.

Orphanages are no longer a part of the American adoption process, but do still play a significant role in the process of adopting from many international countries.
Known by many different names, orphanages are a home where children are housed if their birth parents have decided they can't care for them any longer or if their birth parents have died.
Most countries that have a Government run adoption process utilize orphanages for the children available for adoption in their country. Other countries with privately run adoption process may also use orphanages, but often times, those orphanages are privately owned and run and are called by a different name, like in Guatemala where they are commonly referred to as a "Hogar".

Amateurs are content at some point to let their efforts become bottom-up operations. After about fifty hours of training — whether in skiing or driving — people get to that "good-enough" performance level, where they can go through the motions more or less effortlessly. They no longer feel the need for concentrated practice, but are content to coast on what they've learned. No matter how much more they practice in this bottom-up mode, their improvement will be negligible.
The experts, in contrast, keep paying attention top-down, intentionally counteracting the brain's urge to automatize routines. They concentrate actively on those moves they have yet to perfect, on correcting what's not working in their game, and on refining their mental models of how to play the game, or focusing on the particulars of feedback from a seasoned coach. Those at the top never stop learning: if at any point they start coasting and stop such smart practice, too much of their game becomes bottom-up and their skills plateau.

Making The Right Calls
Making The Right Calls
Prerequisites and steps to making the right decisions for your startup.
I have unwittingly made some bad decisions in my 28 years on this earth, but everyday I make better decisions. Reflecting on this, it is clear that making the right calls, large and small, requires certain prerequisites and a thoughtful decision-making process. These considerations are especially important in a startup, where you will never have perfect information when making a decision.
The success or failure of your startup results from nothing more than the series of small, medium and large decisions that you act on — make more right decisions than wrong decisions and your startup will succeed. In my experience, the best startup decisions have come when I've had certain prerequisites in place and have followed a thoughtful decision-making process.
First, The Prerequisites…
The conditions below must be met before you start the decision-making process. This is imperative as most bad decisions that are made inadvertently are made because some or all of these conditions are not met before starting the decision-making process.
1) Follow Your Passions: For most world-class entrepreneurs, passion does not come primarily from the prospect of financial gain or personal notoriety; it comes from an innate desire to change the world. To make the right decisions for your startup, you must believe that if your startup succeeds, you will change the world in the ways you desire. The more your startup aligns with your passions, the more confident you will feel that you are making the right decisions for the right reasons.
2) Embrace The Reality: You have to be able to properly assess and accept reality. Smart entrepreneurs do not see the glass as half-full or half-empty, they see a glass with a certain amount of water. Then, they decide to drink the water, or fill up the glass with more water. To make the right decisions, you must first see things as they really are.
3) Practice Some Balance: Your mind, body, and soul must be balanced before you can make good decisions. This is perhaps the most important prerequisite, and one that most entrepreneurs brazenly ignore. Startup culture encourages over-work and over-play; to be balanced you must also be mindful of your health and spiritual life, not just stimulating your mind.
Second, The Decision-Making Process…
Only after you know that the above prerequisites hold true, you can move on to the decision-making process. Below is a decision making process that works for me (inspiration), but you may follow a different process.
Let's setup a scenario and walkthrough a decision-making process. In our sample scenario, we are trying to figure out the primary customer type to market your startup's solution to.
1) Identify The Decision: Clearly identify the single decision you want to make, do not let extraneous things fog it up. In the sample scenario, a decision you might be making is "Out of my entire market of potential customers, who is my startup's single highest revenue-generating customer?"
2) Identify Your Options: Lay out the different options you have based on your own knowledge, keeping in mind the values that are important to your startup. In our example, you will now identify the different customer types that can generate revenue for your startup and being realistic, you might eliminate certain customer types at this step as they are not feasible to reach.
3) Gather Information: Collect as much information as is pragmatic about your options. Research different customer segments and talk to the right experts to gain further insight and reduce your blindness. In our setup, you may end up eliminating a certain revenue-generating customer type, because it doesn't help you make progress towards changing the world in the way you envision.
4) Make & Implement The Decision: Finally the fun part, you get to make a decision and act on it! The decision should incorporate the information you have gathered, your gut instinct and align with your startup's vision. In our example, you would make a firm decision on what customer segment you will target and start marketing to them (the marketing strategies you use may be a separate decision).
5) Evaluate The Outcomes: Evaluate, objectively, if you made the right decision. Some questions you can ask in our sample scenario include: Is my startup solving a real need for this customer? How much revenue has been generated? Am I convinced that this was the right customer to target or should I target another customer? If you have balance in your life when thinking through such questions (i.e. your mental well-being is not solely dependent on startup success), you can make a proper evaluation. If you conclude you made the wrong decision, assure the prerequisites are really met and start over from step 1.
In a startup, as in life, you will seldom have enough information to conclusively make the right decisions. To a certain extent, you have to rely on your gut instinct, especially as most decisions are interdependent (e.g. picking the highest revenue-generating customer may not lead to the most cost-effective marketing strategy).
When decision-time comes, regardless of if it is a small or a significant decision, you should try and assure that you are passionate for the right reasons, thinking realistically, practicing balance in your life and following a thoughtful decision making process. If you do these things, you will you make the right calls more often than not, and your startup will succeed.

The consequences of this breakthrough are hard to overstate. What kinds of digital property might be transferred in this way? Think about digital signatures, digital contracts, digital keys (to physical locks, or to online lockers), digital ownership of physical assets such as cars and houses, digital stocks and bonds … and digital money. All these are exchanged through a distributed network of trust that does not require or rely upon a central intermediary like a bank or broker. And all in a way where only the owner of an asset can send it, only the intended recipient can receive it, the asset can only exist in one place at a time, and everyone can validate transactions and ownership of all assets anytime they want.

The Naked Startup Founder
Reposted from medium.com/@naveed_l
The Naked Startup Founder
In my experience in studying and advising early-stage startups, it has become obvious that startups primarily fail because of inadvertent mistakes made by the founder(s). External forces are seldom the reason for the death of the startup. The success of the startup therefore primarily depends on the success of the founder.
How can you, as the founder, prevent slowly killing your startup? Get naked! Figuratively, of course…
Strip Assumptions
Do not assume anything. Anything you accept as truth must be backed by proof. Analytics should back all major decisions.
Strip Biases
Do not be biased. Biases are built into our psyche, so they are especially difficult to strip. Have an inner circle of friends, peers, advisors and mentors that can help you identify and remove biases.
Strip Failures
Forget your failures. Learning from failure is overrated. It is often better not to analyze major failures, move on, and let the lessons incubate naturally.
Stripping assumptions, biases and failures may seem obvious, but it is counter to the nature of most founders. Founders are superheroes; they are out to save the world. How can you be a superhero without the costume? The founder must consciously strip layers off of the costume, otherwise the startup will suffer a slow death.
But do not fret, you do not always have to be naked. After some experience, both success and failure, you can start putting layers of your costume back on (i.e. an assumption developed based on experience may prove true in most cases). With time, you will become the superhero you were always meant to be.

Purpose-Driven User Experience
This article originally appeared on the GSD&M Blog, and later appeared in Yahoo! Small Business Advisor.
"I think so many of the objects we're surrounded by seem trivial. And I think that's because they're either trying to make a statement or trying to be overtly different. What we were trying to do was have a very honest approach and an exploration of materials and surface treatment. So much of what we try to do is get to a point where the solution seems inevitable: you know, you think 'of course it's that way, why would it be any other way?' It looks so obvious, but that sense of inevitability in the solution is really hard to achieve."
Jonathan Ive, SVP of Industrial Design, Apple Inc.
The past two years, Apple has assured its claim as the world's most valuable company and is on track to become the first trillion dollar company. In addition to raw tenacity and the visionary leadership of the late Steve Jobs, much of Apple's "secret sauce" comes from their focus on user experience and beautiful design, lead by Jonathan Ive (pictured above). User experience is "the way a person feels about using a product, system or service."
What makes Apple's approach to user experience superior to others? I think the answer is simple - everything Apple does, including how it deals with user experience decisions, is driven by Purpose. Readers of this blog will know that GSD&M's core focus when engaging with a client is to help them find their Purpose and excel. The Purpose Institute defines Purpose as "… A definitive statement about the difference that [the company] is trying to make in the world."
Note that Jonathan Ive says "of course it's that way, why would it be any other way" when referring to user experience decisions. How does Apple get to that point, and what is the Purpose that drives it there? Apple's purpose is To make a contribution to the world by making tools for the mind that advance humankind.
This Purpose assures that Apple is constantly aiming for the highest bar, no exceptions. Apple embraced and pioneered many user experience principals on its way to realize the Purpose - investing in iteration, prototyping, bringing metaphor's into the user interface, the modality / app model, creating a 3d space, and continuity in experience.
We can learn from Apple that user experience is vital and can lead to a tremendous positive impact on a company's long-term success. Because of the importance of user experience (especially in the past 5 years due to the Apple App Store), there is constantly buzz around new UX frameworks and subsequent refinements. Lean UX, which is based on finding product/market fit through customer development and iteration, is currently the go to framework. Before that it was Agile, and before that a more Traditional approach (see figure above). These frameworks are helpful, but in the complex world of user experience, the only way to consistently deliver a great user experience is to assure that all user experience decisions are driven by Purpose. Janice Fraser, one of the pioneers of user experience summed it up perfectly when she said, "You can't A/B test your way to success." The only way to assure that the correct user experience decisions are made it to know the core Purpose of the company and drive towards that Purpose with each decision.
To dig into the concept of Purpose a bit more, let's take a look at Instagram. The Purpose Institute details the following key areas relating to Purpose:
- Purpose drives everything.
- Purpose is a path to high performance.
- Purpose fosters visionary ideas and meaningful innovation.
- Purpose moves mountains.
- Purpose will hold you steady in a turbulent marketplace.
- Purpose injects your brand with a healthy dose of reality.
- Purpose recruits passionate people.
- Purpose brings energy and vitality to the work at hand.
- Purpose contributes to a life well lived.
These can be directly applied to user experience decisions.
Instagram entered a very crowded space, yet has been able to attract 15 million+ users and was recently acquired by Facebook for $1 billion dollars. They did this by having a very clear Purpose. In the video interview embedded above with Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom, he defines Instagram's Purpose: To make it easy for everyone to capture and share beautiful photos. This is the difference they want to make in the world and in the lives of their customers. This drives all of their user experience decisions. You can feel the Purpose in every screen of their mobile app. While they ultimately land on the right user experience via testing and iterating, the question they ask before adding or removing a feature is: Will this make it easier for our customers to capture and share beautiful photos? Anything that does not contribute towards realizing that Purpose is ignored.
Referring back to the key points regarding Purpose from The Purpose Institute, let us see how having a defined Purpose helped Instagram.
- Purpose drives everything: It drives all decisions at Instagram, including what features they add or remove.
- Purpose is a path to high performance: Instagram tests new features weekly. They brainstorm new ideas at the beginning of the week, select one to test, code it during the week, and test it over the weekend. If the feature sticks, Instagram implements it across the full user base.
- Purpose fosters visionary ideas and meaningful innovation: Instagram is able to innovate and become the market leader in a very noising and old industry.
- Purpose moves mountains: Instagram did it with around 10 employees.
- Purpose will hold you steady in a turbulent marketplace: All startups go through the valley of death (perhaps multiple times), Instagram did as well and their Purpose helped them keep faith in challenging times.
- Purpose injects your brand with a healthy dose of reality: Instagram chose to focus initially on iPhone only.
- Purpose recruits passionate people: Instagram recruits the most talented people in the Valley.
- Purpose brings energy and vitality to the work at hand: Instagram uses its Purpose as motivation for everyone to work hard and for the community to engage with the company
- Purpose contributes to a life well lived: Instagram enriches the lives of all of their stakeholders - internal and external.
The future of user experience is becoming ever more complex - with new technologies like Google Glass on the horizon - it becomes even more important to know how to ignore the noise, and focus on the signal. Define your Purpose: Why do you need to exist in the world? The rest of the answers will flow. You will just know, because there is no other way.

Pixar story rules
Pixar story artist Emma Coats has tweeted a series of "story basics" over the past month and a half — guidelines that she learned from her more senior colleagues on how to create appealing stories:
#1: You admire a character for trying more than for their successes.
#2: You gotta keep in mind what's interesting to you as an audience, not what's fun to do as a writer. They can be v. different.
#3: Trying for theme is important, but you won't see what the story is actually about til you're at the end of it. Now rewrite.
#4: Once upon a time there was ___. Every day, ___. One day ___. Because of that, ___. Because of that, ___. Until finally ___.
#5: Simplify. Focus. Combine characters. Hop over detours. You'll feel like you're losing valuable stuff but it sets you free.
#6: What is your character good at, comfortable with? Throw the polar opposite at them. Challenge them. How do they deal?
#7: Come up with your ending before you figure out your middle. Seriously. Endings are hard, get yours working up front.
#8: Finish your story, let go even if it's not perfect. In an ideal world you have both, but move on. Do better next time.
#9: When you're stuck, make a list of what WOULDN'T happen next. Lots of times the material to get you unstuck will show up.
#10: Pull apart the stories you like. What you like in them is a part of you; you've got to recognize it before you can use it.
#11: Putting it on paper lets you start fixing it. If it stays in your head, a perfect idea, you'll never share it with anyone.
#12: Discount the 1st thing that comes to mind. And the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th – get the obvious out of the way. Surprise yourself.
#13: Give your characters opinions. Passive/malleable might seem likable to you as you write, but it's poison to the audience.
#14: Why must you tell THIS story? What's the belief burning within you that your story feeds off of? That's the heart of it.
#15: If you were your character, in this situation, how would you feel? Honesty lends credibility to unbelievable situations.
#16: What are the stakes? Give us reason to root for the character. What happens if they don't succeed? Stack the odds against.
#17: No work is ever wasted. If it's not working, let go and move on - it'll come back around to be useful later.
#18: You have to know yourself: the difference between doing your best & fussing. Story is testing, not refining.
#19: Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating.
#20: Exercise: take the building blocks of a movie you dislike. How d'you rearrange them into what you DO like?
#21: You gotta identify with your situation/characters, can't just write 'cool'. What would make YOU act that way?
#22: What's the essence of your story? Most economical telling of it? If you know that, you can build out from there.
Presumably she'll have more to come. Also, watch for her personal side project, a science-fiction short called Horizon, to come to a festival near you.

Exploding water
The water is fine, and it's good to support their cause, but one bottle burst in carrier bag soaking my groceries - Ocado were great about this obviously - and another burst in the cupboard creating a small flood. Won't buy again.

Only One Water!
We love this water.So much so that we have given up wine!!! Seriously, though it tastes so nice compared to others on the market. I buy one multi pack a week and am annoyed with myself if i forget.Love that it is ethical.Liked the old packaging better as stood out. Would like you to stock more of there products please!!!!

Why buy another water?
After reading about the One Water Foundation, I was so motivated and resolved never to buy another brand if One Water was available. Even for a few pennies more, I can't believe how clever and socially responsible this company is, linking profits to projects in Africa. It is so easy for UK consumers to make a difference on the ground in Africa, where it is needed most by simply chosing ONE over another brand. Take 5mins to find out more about this company. It does a whole range of other products too linked to wonderful projects in Africa. Thanks Ocado for stocking the ONE water & eggs. What about including the other products?

A Lot Of Things You Should Know About Website Hosting
If you don't know a web-based number from an Internet service provider, this article is for yourself. We've supplied you with many straightforward tips, that will assist you in choosing a hold to your internet site. Good hosting gives you the help you require although giving you one of the most value for your money. Bear in mind that several website hosting providers are actually reservers. They generally do not actually very own their own personal their internet hosts, so be careful. You might encounter delayed occasions for mending issues or customer satisfaction demands. You can often get the exact same assistance directly from the organization they are renting area from, so request who that clients are. If you would like have multiple site, look for a hosting company that lets you have add-on domains. This simply means it is possible to keep more than one internet site on their own machines while not having to available several profiles or paying any other money for your different internet sites. Every one of individuals web pages that you are currently displaying to the viewers is to take up true place a place, so make all of your details related and chuck the fluff, if you wish to stay away from overage costs from utilizing excessive memory. Every website is usually placed in the form of an html, java, or PHP file around the host's host. This is the coronary heart of your respective web site and should be clean. Can you get yourself a totally free domain address? Believe it or not there are actually wonderful hosting businesses that will offer you a free of charge website name, as well as you simply will not be forced to pay to the sign up and revival. If you are preserving a little cash and still receiving exactly what you need, you are doing a very important thing for the organization. Ensure the ads for the website hosting company suits the specific terms of services. An internet hoisting firm might guarantee 99.9% uptime, as an example, but this really is identified no place inside their relation to assistance hosting. Read the small print. Also, see what your compensation is if they generally do not satisfy their relation to service. An assurance with out some type of settlement is ineffective. Many people don't know this, but you can easily variety an internet site from the very own area without spending a dime. Making use of "www" hosting server programs are great for acquiring included in web design and discovering how things work towards a higher degree. Obviously, contrary to real online hosts, you more than likely won't be capable of provide you with the constant up-time, strict protection, or updating customer support. If you use your website generally as a blog, choose a web host that will enable you to sync with preferred operating a blog resources like Wordpress blogs. These tools are often cost-free and simple to operate, but you will probably desire to hold all of them with an expert support. Choose one which allows you import the data files right into their system. While searching for a good web host, be sure you have a look at exactly how much downward time that it typically has. This can be anything that can be irritating if you're trying to manage a site.

Before you choose your internet web hosting service service, establish whether you have got to use web templates. Numerous hosts will offer easy to use web templates for constructing your website without making use of Web-page coding understanding or even a professional designer brand. If you need the service, then select a variety that give a wide array of layouts. Beware of hosting providers that fee extremely low fees, remembering that you receive what you purchase. Should you truly only need to have a 1-webpage web site to immediate buyers to your brick-and-mortar company, then by all means go for a $5 a month provider. Nevertheless, if you intend to complete any sort of business online dealings, or are dependent on great-conclusion graphics and a lot of information, then purchase what you need. All things regarded, the lowest priced hosting clients are not the wisest decision. Sure, you don't wish to get astronomical expenses for hosting, but you will not want downtime, shed customers, and many others troubles according to choosing a website hosting company whoever requirements are nearly anything but skilled. Ensure you decide on a internet hosting organization that you can trust, and never the cheapest organization. Be certain to read reviews to determine whether your possible hosting company has repeated intervals of downtime. If your website is usually hard to get at to website visitors, there could be considerably bad implications. For example, if you are working an online business, downtime directly translates into dropped organization because prospective customers will struggle to access your web site. Clients might also truly feel uncomfortable doing deals on your own site since they may possibly believe that your website to get unreliable. Select a hosting company that lacks a history of getting traditional regularly. The moment you start out viewing things which you don't as with your web web hosting organization, you have to be gin considering additional options. This does not necessarily mean you will switch proper then, but in case you should, you will absolutely be well-ready and able to move on. Take notice of the SPAM coverage. It will always be advisable to avoid internet hosts that "junk e-mail" their customers or that tolerates their clientele doing this for their end users. If there is not really a certain file setting out their policy, look at the Frequently asked questions. Be suspicious associated with a business without a nicely-identified spammy policy. Feel long and difficult before figuring out you want to produce your personal website hosting service. This may seem to be tempting, right up until you realize you will likely devote inordinate numbers of time dealing with the service, instead of focusing on the company that you currently have. Use the knowledge of people who have been doing it for many years, and spend them whatever they are really worth. Now you know what you should expect from the hosting company, you ought to be ready to go forward and locate the company for your web site. So long as you put what you've discovered here into use, you'll have precisely what you need very quickly. Have fun with your site!

Holistic Health
We hear a lot about holistic health, but what exactly is it? Wikipedia is always a good place to start:
"Holistic health is a concept in medical practice upholding that all aspects of people's needs, psychological, physical and social, should be taken into account and seen as a whole. As defined above, the holistic view on treatment is widely accepted in medicine. A different definition, claiming that disease is a result of physical, emotional, spiritual, social and environmental imbalance, is used in alternative medicine."
While traditional medicine can approach disease holistically, an advocate of holistic health will generally look beyond Western medicine in approach. People who approach healing in a holistic way will try to work with not just the body but the mind and soul, and try to solve health issues with more natural approaches than with drugs or surgery.
The Western medicine method is generally to approach the body in parts rather than looking at the whole. Let's say someone comes into a traditional doctor's office complaining of acid reflux. The doctor may prescribe some pills and send the patient on their way. A holistic approach would be to look at the person's diet, stress levels, and energy, making adjustments to lifestyle a priority.
Holistic health encompasses a whole person approach that includes diet and nutrition, stress relief, exercise, spirituality and energy.
Related to holistic health is "natural health," which focuses on natural cures, but the two are not quite the same.
Natural Health vs. Holistic Health
What is "natural health?" Here's a formal definition of natural health from The Natural Health Perspective website:
"Natural health is an eclectic self-care system of natural therapies that builds and restores health and wellness by working with the natural recuperative powers of the human body"
In this view of natural health, only natural causes and cures are considered. This strict interpretation means that using any sort of energy healing is not a form of "natural health." They write:
"Natural health, thus, excludes all belief systems that say disease is a result of anything other than natural causes. If health, wellness, illness, and healing is held to be caused by something that cannot be physically measured or detected then it is not about natural health. This would accordingly exclude faith and psychic healing, supernatural forms of alternative medicine, and some Eastern philosophies."
More to come! Meanwhile, check out some recipes.

In Vitro Fertilization
Procedures for IVF vary depending on the age of the woman and/or her chance for success.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
Couples in which the women has bilateral tubal disease or the man has severe male factor are absolute candidates for IVF. The pregnancy success rate is largely based on the age of the female partner.
Back to top
Steps for IVF
- The woman will take drugs that stimulate growth of as many eggs as possible and inhibit ovulation.
- The woman will take a drug containing hCG, which stimulates the final maturation of mature eggs. The eggs are then retrieved from a woman's ovaries using a needle via ultrasound guidance.
- The eggs are transferred into a laboratory dish where they are combined with sperm for fertilization. In the case of severe male infertility, the eggs are injected with a single sperm, called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). ICSI is a relatively new technique that has been embraced as a breakthrough in treating male infertility. Because only one sperm is needed, ICSI can offer real hope to couples where the man has a very low sperm count or produces few good-quality sperm. ICSI can also help couples who would prefer not to use donor sperm.
- A number of embryos are transferred back into the uterus in a process similar to the IUI.

New Zealand property values rose 5.7 percent last year, driven by gains in Auckland and a recovery in Christchurch, and the housing market in the country's biggest city is set to keep climbing, Quotable Value says.
Values were 1.5 percent in the three months ended December 31 from the same period a year earlier, rounding out the annual gain to 5.7 percent, state-owned QV said today. That is 2 percent above the previous market peak in late 2007.
"The increase in national values was predominantly driven by Auckland and to a lesser extent Christchurch," research director Jonno Ingerson says.
"These were also the only two areas to have consistently increased while the rest of the country varied throughout the year."
New Zealand's property market regained some vigour in 2012 after several years of being in the dumps, with an increasing Auckland population swelling demand against a backdrop of a limited supply.
The lack of supply has become a concern for politicians, who are looking at ways to stoke new building.
Mr Ingerson says the lack of properties on the market was "one of the defining features of 2012", with buyers struggling to find something suitable.
Those supply issues will likely push up Auckland values further this year, with the city expected to see more migrants arriving than people leaving.
Auckland values are 11.1 percent above the last peak and now exceed those in 2007, even when adjusted for inflation.
Wellington property values are expected to stay flat this year after having suffered in recent years from restructuring and job losses in the public sector, while in Christchurch they are predicted to keep growing as demand outstrips supply.
Values in the country's provincial centres increased at a slower pace than the national average and are expected to stay flat this year.
