January 2013, Barnes Bullet-N
Loaded with Barnes TAC-XP™ Bullets
Barnes introduces the TAC-XPD line of Defense Ammunition: an "Optimized for Carry or Home Defense" solution. Loaded with the venerable Barnes TAC-XP bullets, TAC-XPD ammunition is engineered and designed to deliver top performance when it is most critical: in life-threatening situations. The TAC-XP's all-copper construction and very large, deep hollow-point cavity expand, penetrate and perform more consistently than any personal defense product on the market.
Designed for law enforcement and personal defense, TAC-XP pistol bullets retain nearly 100% of their original weight and track straight. Performance through bare gel, light and heavy clothing, car doors, plywood and automotive windshield glass is unmatched by the competition.
The lighter bullet weights of all-copper TAC-XP projectiles in comparison to lead-core counterparts enable the shooter to recover quickly due to less felt recoil, without sacrificing terminal performance. Specially engineered loads produce almost no muzzle flash – an important feature in low-light conditions. Distinctive Techni-Crom plated shells feed smoothly from the magazine for reliability shooters can depend on every time.
TAC-XPD Ammunition is sold in a 20 round package.
Barnes TAC-XPD Defense Ammunition will be available early 2013:
• 380 Auto 80 grain TAC-XP
• 9mm Luger 115 grain TAC-XP +P
• 40 S&W 140 grain TAC-XP
• 45 Auto 185 grain TAC-XP +P
Barnes is proud to announce new offerings in its precision VOR-TX Hunting Ammunition loaded with the deadliest bullets on the planet.
• 22-250 Rem 50 Gr. TSX FB
• 260 Rem 120 Gr. Tipped TSX BT
• 280 Rem 140 Gr. Tipped TSX BT
• 300 Wby 180 Gr. Tipped TSX BT
Barnes is introducing a new 270 caliber 129-gr. bullet into its continually expanding LRX (Long-Range X Bullet™) line-up in 2013. Like the rest of the LRX family, the 270 LRX features an optimized ogive and boattail length to increase B.C. values, improving downrange ballistic performance.

Happy New Year to all Club X Members.
It seems each year goes faster and faster. I can't believe it is now 2013. Very Crazy.
My husband Randy and I own land in Mona, Utah. We have a lot of mule deer on our property. You won't find trophy class mule deer but you will find deer for those who desire the meat or just a good first time hunt where they can see lots of deer. Some of which are good respectable bucks.
This past year in October, we decided to not let a lot of people hunt on our property and reserve it for first time hunters as well as young hunters and ladies.
Our property isn't hard to hunt. I have learned over the years that if a young hunter or lady has a tough first hunt and gets cold and miserable, or they just don't see many animals, it could turn them off to hunting. I've seen it happen numerous times. Our offer was a way of getting these hunters excited about hunting through a good positive first time experience, getting them to look forward to future hunting and perhaps be more prepared for a tougher hunt.
Everyone we let hunt our property this past October shot a pretty darn good buck.
Pictures are below of what was taken in October 2012.
Seirra Fowkes took this mule deer using a .243 Win and 80-gr. VOR-TX Ammunition.
Jaden Carter with his fine Utah mule deer – taken with a .270 Win. 130-gr. VOR-TX Ammuntion.
Taylor Harrison with his Utah mule deer – taken with a DPMS rifle and .308 Win 168-gr. VOR-TX Ammunition.
Sarah Marie Andrews took her first mule deer using a .270 Win and 130-gr. VOR-TX Ammunition
Trenton Fuller, 12 years old used a .300 Win to take his first mule deer.
We are so proud of all these hunters and thank their parents and good families and friends for supporting their desires to hunt and be in the outdoors.
We encourage youth, as well as ladies to send us pictures of their hunts along with stories.
You can view some pictures that have been sent in and their stories by clicking HERE.
All of us here at Barnes are looking forward to having a good year in 2013. There are many challenges that we will be faced with. New gun legislation may possibly be one of them and our continued struggling economy.
Our hearts go out to the families affected by the shootings in Newtown, CT. We are deeply saddened by what took place there and understand the healing process for those left behind will be long and hard. We pray for strength for those families with the challenges they will face.
We have appreciated your support over the past many years. Randy and I deeply love this company and continue to support it by assuring our customers that only quality products that they can trust will leave our factory.
We hope we will see you at one or more of trade shows that we will be attending.
Below are a few of the major shows we will be displaying along with dates of those shows in 2013.
Shot Show – Las Vegas, Nevada – January 15-18 – Booth #14229
S.C.I. Show – Reno, Nevada – January 23-26 – Booth #547
Western Hunting & Conservation Expo – Salt Lake City, Utah – February 21-24 – Booth #317
N.R.A. Show – Houston, Texas – May 3-5

I have a .280 I inherited that was custom built. The problem I'm having is the chamber was setup for factory bullets to be close to the lands so I'm having to seat your 140-gr. TTSX very deep and can only get 52 grains of 4831 in case … I started low and worked up to that and the groups are getting better the higher I go. Have you worked any loads with a faster powder or have any suggestions. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks…Perry H
Yes our data does go a bit higher and it is common to see groups improve as the charge increases. I'd suggest you continue adding powder until you reach the max charge suggested or see high pressure signs. It isn't a problem to compress the powder charge – unless the bullet begins to push back out after seating (bullet rebound). You'll need to measure the length of the loaded round right after seating and again 15 or 20 minutes later to determine if they are pushing their way back out. You can also use a drop tube to help stack the powder a bit better and thereby get more in the case, as we do. Another good trick is to tap the side of the case gently with a pencil to settle the powder. Be sure to cover the case mouth with your finger so powder doesn't come out.
You may also decide to try a faster burning powder that will give more room for the bullet, but I'd suggest you continue with the 4831 powder.

Can you please tell me the number of various bullet boards you have released? I am interested in the different models, production and cost of each. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Tom Ewing
There were a few different designs made, but the time lines they each came available is a bit disputed.
The first Barnes bullet board was a one of a kind and has been lost over the years.
The second design was fairly limited and Randy Brooks suggested to me that there were about 200 to 250 of these made and given away with $500 to $1000 package orders. See the photo.
The third and final sets of bullet boards were available in a variety of configurations. The Standard 20"x14" came in both oak and walnut, with the basic 104 bullet lineup. It came with a counter stand and sold for $109.95. About 500 total of them were sold.
The Limited Edition Board was 26"x20" and 500 of them were made available. They came complete with the "Bullets Made the Way They Ought'a Be" solid brass medallion and was available in both suede pigskin and smooth cowhide backing. You also had the option of either oak or walnut and each board was fitted with a personal nameplate suggesting which of the 500 it was. It too consisted of the basic 104 bullet lineup and the cost was $275. See the ad in the catalog below – circa 1983-1987?
It brings me great joy to be able to bring you these invaluable tidbits of information about Barnes history – I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Happy Hunting!

Barnes VOR-TX 300 AAC Blackout 110 grain TAC-TX Ammunition awarded BEST OF SHOT '12 by MilitaryTimes GearScout.

Recently I had the pleasure to taking quite a few animals with the new Barnes VOR-TX factory ammo during a 6 week trip to South Africa and Namibia.
Test firing this ammo before I left, gave me great sense of optimism because it was just great on paper and over the chronograph.
No matter how small the groups or how fast or consistent the velocity, how does it perform on game is the true test.
During this safari, I used the .270 Winchester 130-gr. TTSX on several animals ranging from Springbok to Gemsbok. Naturally the Springbok were no match for this load, but I was absolutely impressed with how it performed on a Gemsbok as one shot thru the shoulders put him down right there with complete penetration. In fact I never did recover any of the 130-gr. TTSX .270 bullets.
The .300 Winchester used 180-.gr TTSX bullets and it too was impressive on Blue Wildebeest, Gemsbok and Namibian Mountain Zebra. The only bullet I recovered was from the Zebra taken at 200+ yards and it was a perfect mushroom just like the one on the VOR-TX ammo box. On Blue Wildebeest and Gemsbok, every bullet passed thru and the game usually just collapse on the spot.
The .338 Winchester Magnum load uses 225-gr. TTSX bullets and it too was an awesome performer with the most impressive performance on a Blue Wildebeest at 237 yards facing me. The bullet entered just under the chin and put him down right there with hardly even a kick or a wiggle.
The bullet was recovered 42" into the body and again was a perfect mushroom. All in all I recovered four .338 caliber bullets and one .30 caliber bullet as shown in the attached photo. All the recovered 338 bullets were from Blue Wildebeest on frontal shots as all broadside and quartering shots exited.
All of the Professional Hunters we hunted with we absolutely impressed with those "Blue Tip" bullets as they came to be known.
In past years I've used both the original Barnes TSX bullets and the new TTSX bullets in my own handloads, and this factory VOR-TX ammo is a good as anything I can put together.

Every year for New Year's, I try new recipes to get my family to (happily) eat their black eyed peas and collard greens. Well, this year I finally did it! Everyone raved about this dish, and most went back for seconds. In the future, it will be served as a main course. Use any kind of sausage you like, wild or domestic. We particularly enjoyed the hint of smoky flavor the Chipotle seasoning contributed. It was great warmed up the next day, too. -Jessica Brooks-Stevens
- In a large, heavy sauté pan or pot heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sausage and cook, stirring until the meat is browned, about 6 minutes.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, the onions, collard greens, garlic, seasoning, cumin, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the stock and diced tomatoes, and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the rice and black eyed peas and stir thoroughly.
- Cook until the rice and peas are heated through, about 5 minutes and serve.

I don't win anything. Ever. Imagine my surprise when I get an email from Brett telling me that I've won something from Barnes Bullets!
I returned to hunting after a 15-year hiatus. I grew up in Missouri and hunted rabbits, squirrels, and frogs. The only time I sat in a tree stand waiting for deer with my dad I was unarmed and underwhelmed. After dropping out of college, five years in the Army, and a move to Colorado to return to college my neighbor got me re-hooked on hunting (thanks again Jim!!). In the last 15 years I've hunted just about everything that Colorado and Montana have to offer (I don't have proof of all the hunts, but I do have stories).
I was called to pastor a church in Montana nine years ago. Shortly after arriving, I got involved with the Montana FWP's Hunter Education Program. Not only do I love hunting, I love passing our hunting traditions on to future generations.
I began reloading about 7 or 8 years ago and found that several of my guns really like to shoot the Barnes TSX bullets. The boys and I were able to tune a load for both of their Savage rifles (chambered in .243) that shot under 1" groups (with one rifle shooting 100 yard, dime-sized groups regularly). I'm currently tweaking a load for my new favorite caliber, the .325 WSM.
Thanks again Barnes! For a great selection of bullets and for the Remington Sportsman gift box.

kinda sad the last 4 winners are all soldier shootbulletsetc warfare mods. ugh
After rounding out the best of 2007, we're ready to present the results.
Posted by stenchy on Jan 28th, 2008 Page 2 of 4
Event Coverage
A honorable mention is due to the mod Black Mesa which continues to poll extremely strongly year after year, but misses out on a place in the top 5 because you cannot win a spot in the best unreleased category twice.
5. Operation Black Mesa - Prepare to go back to Black Mesa... again. Operation Black Mesa is an extended re-creation of the popular Half Life add-on, Opposing Force. You'll once again be strapping on the boots of Corporal Adrian Shepard as you make your way through the revamped and albeit highly detailed Black Mesa Research Facility. Additionally, the team plans to add new areas and enemies to the fray so this unofficial redux has more to look forward to than just eye candy. It looks to be a promising effort from team behind Operation Black Mesa, which is why players chose it as there number five spot for unreleased mod of the year.
4. Mechwarrior: Living Legends - Looking at this mod makes one wonder, who doesn't like robots? The MechWarrior: Living Legends team hopes to satisfy your thirst for robotic destruction on wide open environments and look good while doing it. So far, the updates have been fast and furious, showing a number of fancy mechs armed to the teeth. Of most interest are the videos like the one below which show some of the environments where battles will take place. If MechWarrior is sure to take full advantage of all the features the CryEngine 2 has to offer, this mod won't be a disappointment. Players voted MechWarrior: Living Legends number four for unreleased mod of the year.
3. Barney's Tales - Did I say we were done with the Black Mesa Research Facility? Well, we aren't. This time you will be dressed in security apparel as you play the role of the infamous Barney from the Half Life series. Barney's Tales (formerly Blue Shift: Source) is an unofficial remake of the the last expansion pack release for the aging Half Life 1. This remake is expected to focus more on realism, using real-world US Army soldiers as a reference. Drivable vehicles are also planned. Together with other projects being developed out there, it looks like we'll be able to play through the original series all over again in the Source engine sometime in the future. To add to the lavishly detailed media they've already released, the folks over at Barney's Tales have put together an exclusive video sneak peak for us which you can look at below. Barney's Tales comes in at number 3 for unreleased mod of the year.
2. Jurassic Park - Jurassic Park the movie is one that sticks in the minds of many. It set a new standard and brought terrifying monsters to life on the silver screen; creatures that, long ago, actually existed. The Jurassic Park mod team has set out with the aim to capture the same magic that both the movie and book encapsulated and bring it to the CryEngine 2. In the mod, players will be put into the shoes of Dr. Alan Grant, paleontologist extaordinaire, as you make your journey to get off the island. Few games out there have been able to pull off dinosaurs convincingly so the team has their work cut out for them. However, from the concepts and renders provided so far, they have gained a lot of interest and seem to be off to a good start. As a treat, we have a first look at a fully textured Velociraptor for your perusal further down. Fans obviously can't get enough dinos and that's why Jurassic Park is the number two unreleased mod of the year.
1. Zombie Panic: Source - A zombie outbreak has made your town, with the exception of a select few, void of any life. All that remains are the undead and you, along with a few other survivors, have to fight them off with whatever means possible. What do you do? Do you stick together or fan out and search for ammo? The premise behind Zombie Panic is simple: survival. While the mod is available to download now, (it was unreleased before voting had begun, therefore in the unreleased category) it was quite apparent throughout development that this project would be one out of the many zombie survival mods out there to deliver the goods. Stunning visuals, eerie music and top-notch voice work help make the paranoia seem just a little bit too real. The more weaponry you pick up, the more you slow down- making you an easy target to munch on. The further a round progresses, the deeper the feeling of desperation sets in as you run thin on ammunition and the undead grow in numbers. Whether you're running away from the shambling hordes or hunting for players to tear limb from limb Zombie Panic delivers on all fronts. If you want a quick peek at the gameplay, check out the exclusive trailer below. Players hungered for a taste of Zombie Panic, more than any other mod, which is why it was voted as the number one unreleased mod of the year.
kinda sad the last 4 winners are all soldier shootbulletsetc warfare mods. ugh
it is hard to win with a 2 years old game
Congrats to all the winners and nice congrats to moddb for their fantastic job!!!
oh....and a biiiiiig thanks to all who votes for World of Padman...;)
Gratulations to all, except for Insurgency.
Congratulations to Insurgency team!
Great job from moddb, it is the best result of the year 2007...
It´s great.
Congrats to all.
Roll on editors choice!
jurassic park!!!
05:06 the title says "indepedent". is that meant to be independent.
oh man, that's a big goof, thanks for pointing that out - I'll be uploading a revised version. I blame lack of sleep putting this thing together.
Is that spelled right??
yes :)
nah its Independent :P
Grats to the winners!
Congratulations to all winners from the Stargate : The Enemy Within Dev Team! Congrats Especially to BTRL who takes the Indie Category.! Well done guys! ;)
Also, Thanks to everyone who voted for SG:TEW and helped us into the Top 100..! Your support shall not go unrewarded! ;)
Congrats to all the mods who won, and to those who didnt, well there's always next year ;)
Keep up the good work everyone.
And there's the editors choice ;)
Congratulations !
How do the other mods listed on the top 100 find out their position/rank from the end results?
Just wanted to know where battlefield 40k came in the top 100 unreleased.
I 2nd that! Would be great to know how all Top 100 ranked! Hope the details will be published soon..! :)
Thx for voting us into the top 5 indie games ;) Gratz to all the winners.
insurgency shouldn't have won...
Man, I really wish MINERVA had placed higher, but still, congrats to all the mods and mod teams that made it on this list!
glad minirva got in the top 5, it earned it. good to see empires there too.
Why did Insurgency, which is in Beta 1 or 2, win best released game, while Zombie Panic: Source, also in Beta phase, win best game to come out later?
Zombie Panic was unreleased as of voting.
On behalf of the BtRL team, thank you fans and supporters and congratulations to all the winners.
The dedication, blood, and sweat put into all these projects are evident. Keep the faith alive in your projects! I look forward to playing these games. Need a breather before I dive right back into the work.
Once again thanks and congrats to all.
This makes the gaming industry a thousand times more exciting, awesome work
Oh, I forgot where the &$%@!^&$ is NEHRIM: At Fates Edge??????
I have a bone to pick.
Zombie Panic Source is released. And I have first hand experience that they were tricking people into voting for them in IRC by saying it was the download link on release day.
That's not right at all.
the plot thickens
that's LOW
They were unreleased at the beginning of phase 2 hence they remain in the unreleased category. Also a number of members alerted us to them essentially tricking users for votes prior to their release. Provided the votes are obtained from mod fans and are not spam / duplicate they are allowed. Having said this, we agree it was not in the best interest of the contest and investigated how many votes were obtained during this period. Even factoring these votes out they won, its a shame it happened, but they are still a deserving winner.
As for the multiple complaints on release day (the day before votes were finished) one mod said something stupid like "HAH not gonna release till you vote for us" which was QUICKLY corrected by every other ZP Developer there present for the release party. I had been up a good two days preparing for release. I made it clear I did not want anyone voting for ZPS that didn't want to vote for ZPS so don't let those who spread rumors take away our hard work :/
Excuse me? Lol what a load of crap. First of all there was no direct link to vote you had to scroll down list of games, select game, then select mod and vote. No one force anyone to vote for ZP:S and we couldn't have if we wanted to. Also the staff already explained we released after voting so we were not a RELEASED mod :P. Those of you who are bitter should watch the slander.
Really I don't recall that but, every mod has it's retards so you can't exactly blame them mod for that
Thats a stock drumlooop from fruityloops lol
Aww I thought Infinity: Quest For Earth got top 1 in Indie games, but it didn't even make it to the top 5.

Top 5 released;

3. Guns and planes and tanks with a twist

Seriously, add an originality category.
(*violate copyright law and moddb.com's TOS)
Why would anyone give this post negative votes? It's a list of factual statements. Are those mods listed "Licensing rip-off*" not licensing rip-offs? Is the mod listed "Zombie mod" not a zombie mod? Do the glut of war games not feature guns and planes and tanks?
If all top ten MOTY mods can be put into 3 very simple categories, don't we need something to support originality?
There are definitely some bound-to-be-Foxed-sooner-or-later mods in the unreleased mods category, but MINERVA?
The only game it's using story and content from is Half-Life 2 - which it's a mod of. Thus such behaviour is specifically allowed, and even encouraged.
Plus, if it *was* an illegal mod, I think somebody at Valve would have told me on one of my occasional visits to their offices?
Just because they are choosing not to take legal action doesn't mean that you're not violating the law.
And even if you got in writing it still wouldn't change the fact that you're capitalizing on the hard work of hundreds of highly paid professionals, their advertising campaign, and the inherent popularity of HL2. All reasons why I suggested there be an "originality" category for non-IP infringing mods.
What exactly is original?
I'll settle for calling anything that doesn't fall into those three categories as original.
And please, if you're about to say, "well your definition of 'original' isn't the same as everyone else's", save it; those three categories account for over 90% of the MOTY nominees, i.e., they are unoriginal.
Well to be perfectly honest it doesn't matter what the winners fall under as they were chosen by the majority of players "Players Choice". FYI Zombie Panic was the first MP Zombie mod and the first to include player controlled Zombies and other features that are only now popular with zombie mods. If you're bitter cause your mod or the mod you prefer wasn't placed, I don't see the point in complaining here or see what you're trying to prove.
Yes, of course anyone who complains is automatically bitter. There couldn't be a single legitimate reason to complain.
...Or no wait, could it be that I'm stating an obvious fact? That these mods are easily categorized and unoriginal? And that half of them are ineligible for voting because they violate copyright law and moddb.com's TOS?
Anyways, what's your beef? Are you angry because I called your MOD, ZOMBIE Panic Source a ZOMBIE MOD? I don't know what I was thinking. I must've invented the term "zombie mod" off the top of my head, since there certainly aren't enough mods featuring zombies to necessitate such a phrase.
mike why are you angry? people vote for what they think is fun. if you make an origional game but it's actually not as fun as the one where you run people down in a tank or get all sorts of realistic guns you've seen in movies, then people are going to vote for the one they enjoy the most.
and some of the games in that list ARE very origional, the gameplay of some of them is nothing like any other game or mod out today.
is still want to know how many votes for each thing actually came in!
"mike why are you angry?"
Glad you asked. As a general rule, it's just in my nature, lol. But in particular, as is relevant here, liscensing rip-offs make me very, very angry.
Half of the mods here are being awarded cash and prizes for THEFT. They are relying on hundreds of highly paid professionals who have toiled for years to do their design and narrative work for them. They are relying on multi-million dollar multi-nationals to do their PR work for them.
This has THREE huge consequences that jeopardizes the true "make something different" mod community.
1. It discourages innovation.
2. It jeopardizes the "true-fan" mods by violating the unwritten rule of "you can use our IPs so long as you don't profit from your creation". By violating this unwritten rule, these mods may very well bring about a resurgence of C&D orders.
3. By capitalizing on a world-wide ready-made fan base cultivated by the hard work of others, these mods drain the modding talent pool and cannibalize the mod fan base. As a result, the few original, innovative games out there cannot recruit.
So in short I'm angry because half of the top 10 MOTY mods are unoriginal, and I'm even angrier because the other half violate the law, the "make something different" ethos of modding, moddb.com's TOS, and profit from THEFT.
mike, I don't know what you're on about...
i mean, please elaborate as to how empires is a licencing rip off? There arn't ANY other games out there in the same universe as the empires universe, and there arn't any commercial or modded games that are rts/fps hybrid and give players vehicles. I'm just picking that one because i know it's especially inventive.
have you even played the mods you're insulting, or just looking at the pictures and claiming that they suck.
"mike, I don't know what you're on about..."
Then you'll have to read my original post. I never said that Empires was a licensing rip-off or that any of the mods sucked.
You're welcome to assume what you want but I made my observation over the fact that you seem to be upset that people like these games (thus being chosen as top 10 by players) and that they're not completely original (as in they use themes that have been done before). I guess once it's been done there is no room for improvement, or that others can't make a version that fits their vision of it. As for calling my mod a Zombie mod... What else could you call it? City mod? Gun mod? I mean it has those too, where's the insult in that label? We started it so why shouldn't we improve on our own work?
Again i'm all for unique and original ideas (which I believe my mod is guilty of even if others imitate it) but your idea of what the modding community should do doesn't necessarily mean it's the right thing to do. And this Award show is just as legal as donations so take a deep breath and spend all this wasted energy on making your mod worth playing, instead of trying to discredit modders and their work. And seriously? Zombie mod? lol

Stand down, Facebook and MySpace — Lockerz' mission is to eat your lunch and have the cool kids sit at its table. With a goal of worldwide domination — which these days, means being the digital homepage of teens — the Seattle-based Lockerz is a social network with a twist.
Offering a blend of content, community and commerce, participation reaps tangible rewards in the form of points that can be redeemed for purchases and discounts. After watching a video, PTZ (points) can be redeemed for up to 100% on hot brands in the Lockerz SHOP. Non-members are informed how many PTZ they earned watching that video, and are then invited to join.
Its two revenue streams: advertising and selling real (not virtual) goods. To boost engagement, time spent on the site and the user experience, Lockerz also offers its members original content, and is already seeing success from its scripted programming.Continue reading...

Brand managers kept Nissan out of last month's Detroit Auto Show and Sunday's Super Bowl TV lineup, but they're doing plenty of other things to make sure the company capitalizes on its increasingly strong performance in the U.S. auto market.
For several months, Nissan could rely on buzz about its Leaf all-electric vehicle to supply marketing energy behind the overall brand. But now that Leaf is on the market, the Nissan brand is moving into the next phase, as the American arm of the Japanese automaker tries to close the gap with its relatively stagnant main rivals, Toyota and Honda.
The biggest marketing gambit for Nissan — its sponsorship of the upcoming Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.Continue reading...

In the most populous country in the world, Johnnie Walker is launching a massive digital and social media campaign focusing on individuality and celebrating modern-day pioneers in China.
The campaign, which ties into the whisky's "Keep Walking" theme, is called "Yulu" ("Words of a Journey") and features mini documentaries on leaders in business and the arts, from Zhou YunPeng, a blind folk singer and poet, to Xiao Peng, entrepreneur and founder of 1rest.com.
The subjects of these high-quality documentaries are certainly not shilling Johnnie Walker – the whisky isn't mentioned at all by them – but rather, they are part of building a brand associated with following one's dreams.Continue reading...

Social media has pretty much reinvented everything, including the way brand advertisers approach digital marketing. So it's no surprise that marketers are employing a promotional technique commonly used in the past, but updated for the digital world.Live product demos (and live television shows, for that matter) dominated the three television networks in TV's heyday, the 1950s and 1960s, as Stuart Elliott points out in today's New York Times. It wasn't unusual to see personalities like John Cameron Swayze demonstrate a Timex watch being mercilessly tortured in a live television commercial that ended with the famous line, "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." Fast forward to 2011 and watch Hewlett-Packard reinvent the idea. Marking its first foray into branded entertainment, the tech brand will stage a live product demo on YouTube, Facebook and mobile this Friday — instead of TV. And while it won't be torturing one of its Web-connected printers, HP hopes the blend of live + crowdsourced + comedy will engage viewers with its new technology.Continue reading...

Great video, and I think that you did a great job of talking about tasting notes. In fact, this is one of the best descriptions of the challenges of tasting, and the intimidation factor for less experienced wine drinkers. I know I was always self conscious about the fact that I wasn't picking up all the things that the guy next to me was getting. After a while I finally started realizing that everyone has different palates, and that I'm not always going to get the same thing as the guy next to me.
Outside is great, I always go out onto my balcony to get better aromas as we are usually cooking inside and it cab interfere with the true aromas. Great episode.
I agree, many times when I am cooking and drinking wine.at the same time .everything I taste and smell in the wine tastes and smells like what I am cooking. This is a great show with a great opening.
Your crazy…..that is fun….great show.
Very original,great performance..however one problem,your cousin Joe says put on a Net's hat>you're from NJ

Ahead of Himachal budget, CII seeks boost to industry
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has sought from Himachal Pradesh a new industrial policy, and a rebate in taxes to promote industrialisation in the hill state, according to a statement issued Friday.
In a pre-budget memorandum submitted to Himachal Pradesh Principal Secretary (Finance) Shrikant Baldi here Thursday, the industry lobby demanded the announcement of a new industrial policy, with graded concessions to facilitate industrialisation in the interior parts of the state.
Among the key measures suggested to provide a fillip to investment, CII called for creation of integrated industrial townships and upgradation of existing industrial clusters.
Besides simplification of tax administration, especially value-added tax (VAT), CII demanded that central sales tax (CST) be brought down to one percent from the existing and to 0.5 percent for new industries.
The electricity duty should be brought down to 5 percent and additional goods tax should be abolished, it said.
For improving connectivity in the state's prominent industrial hub Baddi, the memorandum has drawn attention to the need for starting train connectivity between Baddi and Chandigarh, and strengthening the Pinjore-Nalagrah road.
A greenfield airport for restoring air connectivity to Shimla should also be the priority in the 2014-15 budget, CII suggested. Enhanced investment in marketing and post-harvest infrastructures is also needed, the statement said.
Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, who also holds the finance portfolio, will present the budget Feb 7. This will be his 17th budget.
Tourism as well as horticulture and hydropower generation are major contributors to Himachal Pradesh's economic development.

The Hilton Coupe, Part 2
Six months seems to be the running theme with the father-and-son team of Virginia's Bob and Tyler Hilton. At least it is when it comes to the build times each of their Model A coupes required to go from parts and pieces to driven masterpieces, according to the elder Hilton. The family, which nearly literally has nitromethane running in their veins (dad's an ex Top Fuel racer; both avid vintage drag racers), not only builds everything from their home-based shop in The Plains, well north of Richmond, Virginia, they drive what they build...hard, far, and regularly.
At the end of one summer, Tyler and Bob decided it was time to add another 1930 Model A to their stable of hot rods and race cars—with the upcoming Detroit Autorama as their deadline...a mere six-month window. As winter rolled around, the project, albeit shy of a couple minor details, was lugged the 500-plus miles to Cobo Center to be put proudly on display downstairs at the Autorama Extreme. From there, the Hiltons hauled A, literally, back home, wrapped up the loose ends, then proceeded to put 3,500 miles (round trip) on the coupe's 1936 Ford odometer to attend the Lonestar Round Up in Texas. "The car went from Virginia to Austin and back with no mechanical or major problems. Driveability with this car was the key to success, along with matching that with major sheetmetal modifications," recounts the elder Hilton.
The road to Austin and back initiated with a set of 1932 'rails from JW Rod Garage, jigged up at Dropped Axle Productions (Cincinnati) prior to being brought home for the beginning of the build. The chassis was completed by kicking the rear section up a couple inches, sweeping the front up an inch and into a flat crossmember, and building a tubular center crossmember from scratch. The suspension integration ensued (consisting of a heavy Deuce axle dropped/drilled by Joe Casto, split 'bones, and so on), followed by the installation of the Chrysler Hemi and T-5 drivetrain combo.
Unlike their other coupe, the latest Model A was destined to sit atop its new Deuce foundation—actually, according to Bob, "The body has been 'anti-sectioned'–extended downward 2 inches, increasing the height of the beltline. It has Model A sedan doors, which are 1 1/2 inches longer, and sedan front subrails. The rear quarter windows have been relieved and reshaped to give them a more symmetrical appeal." That left room to devote laborious efforts to a healthy top chop, which again, Tyler and Bob took upon themselves to accomplish...with quite the results, we might add. Giving the car a brooding attitude to go with that roof lowering, most everything from the chassis up was coated in deep, glossy black (pre-paint bodywork by Brandon Bowling and Son). To adequately complement as well as contrast the dark exterior, Ohioan Ray Butche laid out the interior in Oxblood vinyl.
In comparison, other than their Hemi mills and origin of manufacture, the Hilton coupes share little. What they do share identically in common: expert craftsmanship and execution, perfect melding of period styling, and the fact that they're the fruit of a father-and-son team who know the true meaning of family heritage hot rodding.
Rod & Custom Feature Car
Bob Hilton
The Plains, Virginia
1930 Ford Model A coupe
Based on a set of JW Rod Garage 1932 framerails, the coupe's platform features custom-built crossmembers, as well as 2-inch rear and 1-inch front kickup. Suspension consists of a 5-inch dropped 'n' drilled heavy Deuce axle (via Joe Casto), split front wishbone, Pete & Jake's ladder bars, and transverse leaf springs, the rear being a 1940 front spring. Tube shocks, F-100 side steer, and a Dropped Axle Productions pedal assembly round out the chassis package.
The vintage drag racing family heritage is again represented with the coupe's powerplant: a 1956 DeSoto 330 Hemi, machined and assembled by Cincinnati's D&D Engine Services. Internally it's basically stock; externally features an Elco 6x2 log intake topped by a sextet of progressively linked (by Ross Racing Engines) Holley 94s, driveshaft-tube headers built by Matt at Geardrive Mfg., and backed by a Camaro T-5 via a Wilcap adapter. Rearend is out of a Ford Bronco, with a limited-slip 3.70 ring-and-pinion.
Wheels & Tires
Front and rear, the coupe rolls on 16-inch '40 Ford wheels (4/4.5-inch, respectively) wearing big 'n' little bias-ply Firestone rubber from Coker Tire (4.50/7.50-16, respectively) and '40 Deluxe caps. Drum brakes reside at each at axle.
Body & Paint
In house, father-and-son Hilton handled everything body-wise right up to final bodywork and paint (black Centari), chores which Atwood, Kentucky's Bowling and Son were given. Prior to paint, Bob and Tyler adjusted the coupe's profile with a bit of deceptive metalworking (adding sedan doors and subrails, and so on) to ultimately extend from the beltline down. Furthermore, the top was chopped 6 inches, without filling the insert section. Most exterior accessories are of 1932 Ford nature: headlights, Vintique grille, and single taillight.
As with the channeled coupe, the Hiltons relied on Ray Butche (Cincinnati) for the upholstery, this go 'round resulting in a stylish Oxblood vinyl layout with black rubber mat flooring. Sectioned 1936 Ford dash features original FoMoCo instrumentation, and supports an F-100 steering column with a Shroeder 17-inch Sprint Car wheel. Dash inserts, trim pieces, and metalworked trans tunnel are all custom-made.

Online bios of comedian John Witherspoon tell me what makes him "so captivating" and how he makes the audience care about his characters. Now, for the record, I didn't really care about his character, Mr. Jones, in Fridayhe was just damn funny. And he's probably the best thing about "film classic" Soul Plane (yeah, I saw it). Give him props for sticking to what he does best. He's the real deal and not some comedian getting all serious on us a la Bill Murray. After all, who else can launch a greeting-card line with tags such as "My BBQ taste so good...makes you wanna slap your mama!!" Witherspoon performs at the Addison Improv, 4980 Belt Line Road, Thursday through Sunday. Call 972-404-8501 or visit improvclubs.com.

Chin up, young person! You're going to keep hearing 'no' until you get the 'yes' that counts. Don't give up; God gave you the desire for family - just wait and see how He will fulfill that desire!
Well said! I ask the same question. I have just figured that some men think that I am not what they want....
If you browse the forum, you will see lots of women here collectively.... questioning if they should JUST let the guy make the first or first few moves.....
Hey Jeff, please take this as lightly as possible, but, I've actually messaged you a few times in the last couple of years. I've never got one response back from you. Not even a simple smile "thanks". And because of that I've always thought [in regards to you] what's wrong with me?
Nature of the game, I guess.
Hi Jeff!
Your profile caught my fancy enough awhile back that I sent you a message! So no problem there and no problem with your looks either. Only two other things I can think of: 1. It's not time... or 2. Your caught up in a shopping list of what you want in a woman rather than building relationships with women. (Please, no offense meant! Just being direct as requested.) Prayers!
hey jeff, if I can offer any advice, don't let your profile go stale, you took a month off, what has changedin that month that you may be able to update your profile with? Women like to see that things are fresh an new, this is just a suggestion. and with any advice you can take or leave it. Just keep your chin up and your head down and keep the faith!

Windows Phones get to play Opera too
The new version of Opera Mobile, available for Symbian since the beginning of the month, is now available for Windows Phones too. Opera Mobile 10 is still officially a beta release, but seems stable enough and the addition of Turbo alone makes the download worthwhile. A better interface and the ability to use more than three …
More than 3 Tabs?
You could have more than 3 tabs on the previous version of Opera Mobile on WM6 phones, it was configurable through using opera:config in the address bar and searching for the maximum tabs setting.
Hopefully it will be released on Android soon, JvT said a while back they would be releasing a native version for Android.
Opera Mini for Android is ok, but not as good as the pure J2ME version.
Opera Mini 9.5b for UIQ was great so the addition of Turbo will blow the others out of the water. Hope they bring widgets too.
Non-touchscreen WM Phones
Have a HTC S620 Excalibur/T-Mobile Dash. Downloaded the cab - all installed fine. Stuck on the license screen as I can't select Accept as the pointer won't go down far enough....
The system doesn't support non-touchscreens...
Oh well - back to IE.
Windows Mobile version requires touch screen
@Peter Flynn - I had the same issue - CAB installed fine, but couldn't accept license agreement on my SPV E650 (Orange branded HTC S710).
The Eddie Izzard lookalike from the Opera confirms that a touch screen is required on their support forum:
Opera for EPOC
It must be about 10 years ago that I was opening multiple pages in one browser on my Psion PDA! It's funny how progress is often a case of two steps forward, one step back.
Turbo Mode Location
using turbo mode makes any location aware websites you visit, e.g. bbc news. plonk you in the USA
Not necessarily. The proxies you go through depends where in the world you are and how you're connecting to the Internet. If you're in North America, you can expect to go through Opera's servers in the US. If you're in Europe you can expect to go through the Norwegian proxies.
I can't remember if there are any in the far east yet, but I'm sure Opera will add servers to new regions as their user bases grow.
Oooh, new beta
The old one is pretty nice on my WM phone, think that's 9.7 beta. Have they decided not to finish that version and gone straight to 10?
Going to download it now. Want to see if they've got rid of the annoying slowdown bug in the Google search bar. If they have, that will be mint - Opera 8 blew goats, Opera 9 was a massive improvement with a couple of bugs, hopefully Opera 10 will be what I've been waiting for.

Dreaming up a modern-day Nancy Drew to be the hero of a TV series about a 17-year-old girl detective, the creator of the show had something a little different in mind than the fiery redhead gumshoe of yore. He wanted a brunette '- a smarter-than-you California teen trapped in a town straight out of film noir. Definitely not a blonde bombshell.
"I heard Christina Ricci in my head when I wrote it," says Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas, a former high school journalism teacher who is now executive producer of the UPN show, which has garnered great reviews and a cult audience. "I wanted someone who had a caustic delivery for lines that had weight and dryness."
And yet, the young woman who won the role is a blonde with a bright smile instead of a smirk, and a sunny voice trained for Broadway musicals instead of a grouchy deadpan. Kristen Bell, a 24-year-old Detroit native who moved to Los Angeles in 2002 after a brief stint in New York theater, beat out some 70 other young actresses for the part of the resourceful teen.
So far in her short career, despite the America's-sweetheart looks, Bell's been a specialist in tough teens. Last January, she scored one of Lifetime's highest ratings in Gracie's Choice as a high-schooler determined to adopt her younger siblings after her drug-addled mother abandons them. And, it turns out, her hair color is actually quite a fitting choice for Veronica, considering that Nancy Drew herself started off with the curly yellow locks of a movie star on the covers of her early books.
Unlike Nancy, however, Veronica has serious criminal mysteries to solve, starting with finding out who murdered her best friend. She's also got major high school angst. When she stands by her sheriff father after he accuses a beloved bigwig of the murder, she loses everything '- her mom, her in-crowd status and her home. She becomes wise beyond her years.
"I loved her story," says Bell from San Diego, where the show films. "The situations were very real. She was from a single-parent family, had experienced loss at a young age and was very strong. I am attracted to strong female characters."
Bell could feel Veronica's pain. Her own parents divorced when she was a toddler, and she lost her best friend in a car accident just before she headed to New York University to study acting. "The more I got into it, I realized how much she paralleled my own life '- but spoke more eloquently about it," the actress insists.
The similarities stop at the keyboard. "I am not computer savvy," Bell says with a laugh, even though her character is practically a hacker. "It's not me when you see me on the computer. The screens have been programmed."

(Not the city you were looking for? Other matching results)
Local Time: Sat 01st Nov 5:37 am CEST
Seville weather is suitable for tourists almost throughout the year. During summer you can choose the searing, sauna heat. Autumn will offer you more moderate heat and you can enjoy mild weather during winter. However, the best time to visit Seville is during spring and late autumn as the temperature becomes lovely for holiday.
Seville weather is very hot during the day time in summer. Therefore, you should bring your light cotton fabric pants, shorts, skirts and capris. On the other hand, the winter months are mild and cold, and so you will need thick clothes, jeans, sweater or jacket if visiting during winter.
Seville weather is hot during the summers and mild during the winters and it has a fairly typical Mediterranean climate. The temperature is very hot from June till September and temperature during daytime times rarely peak below the 30s. July and August are the hottest months, with an average maximum temperature of 36°C and minimum temperatures around 20°C. The temperature becomes mild in the months, December to February. January is the coldest month with an average high of 15°C and an average minimum of 6°C.
Seville, one of the warmest tourist locations in Europe, shows a wonderful exhibition of hot summers and fair winters.
During the summer months, June to September, Seville experiences the hottest weather when the day temperature hardly falls below 30s. The high average temperature usually stands at 36°C while the minimum around 20°C. Throughout the season, Seville sees a great level of sunshine, almost 12 hours each day. Moreover, the city remains very dry since the summer months bring almost no rain for it.
Throughout winter, December till February, Seville receives mild temperature. Although January is considered as coldest month it has an average high temperature of 15°C while the minimum stands at 6°C which never reaches freezing. During this season Seville gets 8-10 days of brief yet heavy rain per month that makes the skies clear. The city receives almost six hours of sunshine throughout the season.
Autumn and spring
During autumn and spring seasons Seville sees plenty of rainfall and sunshine. The regular temperature stays at mid 20s in spring. However, it may climbs to 27°C in May. Though spring beings with a remarkably rainy period, it is concentrated to a few very heavy storms, which often reduces to temperate levels. On the other hand autumn too experiences almost the same figures of temperature. These are the best seasons to visit Seville since the nighttime remains cool enough.

While home appliances may seem at first glance to be small business accessories, even big business may find that using home appliances as employee and customer perks helps to keep everyone happy. The trick is finding the right way to turn home appliances for sale into business assets.
While even the largest of companies can benefit from offering home appliances in the break room or office space as a perk for employees or to lure customers in, the most frequent business buyers of these items are small- to mid-sized businesses. Because of the relatively small buying power that's available to them--and because they probably need only one or two appliances each--these business buyers most often find themselves shopping at retail prices instead of wholesale.
There have been many innovations in the home appliance industry in recent years. Even if you've shopped for appliances before, you may discover that the models available now look different than the ones previously available.

As a small business owner, purchasing home appliances for your office or break room is a great way for you and your employees to save money. Having a microwave or refrigerator in your office will also help increase productivity by keeping your employees onsite during lunch hours and breaks. An air conditioner will help keep your office cool and tempers calm during the summer months.
There are several companies with stores across the United States, providing you with a brick and mortar location to purchase an appliance. Sears, Lowes and Best Buy all sell home appliances with deals and coupons on specific products rotating through on a regular basis. Some of these stores will even match a competitor's price.
The internet has several websites that offer appliances at a good price. Amazon.com is one of the biggest online marketplaces, often featuring appliances at discounted prices.
