This climbing room anchors Aim Fitness' 40,000 square feet of amenities, which encompass a strength-training area, aerobic studios, a five-lane, 25-yard lap pool lifeguarded by Aquaman, and a racquetball court.

SVS VisionRead MoreSVS Vision Center's founders opened their first shop in Sterling Heights, Michigan, in 1974 to help the community clear up its vision. But even these optical gurus never foresaw their humble business expanding to more than 60 locations sprawled across 8 states. Today, each shop continues the tradition of ensuring ocular health and crystalline sight, beginning with exams from seasoned optometrists. Afterward, patients head to the optical dispensary, where they try on frames by Coach, Tiffany, Nike, Versace, or Ray-Ban. The staff then fits the stylish selection with polarized and scratch-protected prescription lenses to help guests read books clearly or see a charging moose from a distance. Most of SVS Vision Center's frames can also hold sunglass lenses as well, eliminating squinting during summer months and tropical vacations.1829 Marketplace Dr SECaledonia, MI US

Endurance FitnessRead MoreGroup fitness classes and personal trainers are only a small sliver of the amenities at Elite Fitness. The gym also offers childcare services and a children's dance studio so parents can work out worry-free. Tanning beds, meanwhile, allow guests to highlight contours and show off the hard work they've been doing on machines by Precor, Cybex, and Powertech, while a smoothie bar, salon, and massage studio await to refuel and refresh bodies post-workout. And, of course, the facility boasts immaculately maintained locker rooms where guests can shower (towels provided) and change back into their everyday clothes or hot dog suits before heading home.1421 60th St SEKentwood, MI US
Pearle VisionRead MoreSince Dr. Stanley Pearle opened the doors to the first Pearle Vision in 1961, the franchise has expanded to more than 800 stores nationwide. In these stores, optometrists assess the ocular health of patients before onsite opticians help them navigate the assortment of frames from brands such as Versace, Ray-Ban, and DKNY. If they're not in the store, clients can utilize the Try-On tool, uploading a photo to see what they or their dog looks like in different types of glasses. Pearle Vision also helps focus the world with contacts from Acuvue and Biofinity.2974 28th St SEKentwood, MI US

Mine is a happy heart.
Have travelled Europe, South and Central America, US.
I used to review honeymoon destinations in exotic places.
Was a financial reporter before that.
Love to dance -- swing, foxtrot, West Coast, Latin, waltz, you name it.
Am in a modern dance improvisation group. My main love.
Like to keep moving, but also love-love-love lazy time with you.
Am a sucker for a good conversation. Political, sociological, spiritual.
Hoping to hold onto my individuality (it's pretty unique, but not crazy) while staying closely connected to some deserving gentle man.
How about you?

Skyrim Review
3 Comments to Skyrim Review
i can't believe how disappointed i am with this game. have oblivion.. great game.. skirim is really nothing compared to it.. glitches galore.. it's a piece of junk.. pretty much unplayable.. i am out 60 bucks.. should have gone for uncharted or pretty much anything else.. what a bummer
Both oblivion and skyrim was quite glitchy. But yeah, I too felt oblivon had somewhat placed an impression in me which skyrim did not.
I am very impressed to see Skyrim get such get rating, seeing that it is strictly an RPG title. Most of the time RPG appeal to a smaller crowd and now I am even excited to play. I really like the graphics and how it's not a turn based combat game like most RPGs. Today games are so expensive and I can't afford to pay $60 for a game, so I like to rent them through Blockbuster Movie Pass. DISH customers can subscribe to Blockbuster Movie Pass and get movie and game rentals though the mail, 20 extra channels and access to a huge online collection of on demand titles. I am so happy that I was able to get it, even though I have and employee DISH account. Luckily, I have time to finish my current games and then rent Skyrim on 2/24/12, I cannot wait!

Constructing Identity One Bookshelf at a Time, Or, What I Learned Living Out of My Car
This reflection comes from our vagabond-in-recovery, Lizzie Stallings.
There is a certain restlessness that stems from living out of one's car. Daily games of I-Spy become the modus operandi, resulting in frequent conversations with oneself—along with a staggering degree of comfort in talking quite audibly to no one:

Deployment errors question
I have a WAR file which contains among other things a ServletContextListener, a @Singleton EJB and and @ApplicationScoped CDI bean.
The RouterContextListener injects the @Singleton EJB w/@EJB. The @SingletonEJB injects the @ApplicationScoped CDI bean w/@Inject and the EJB's @PostConstruct method uses the CDI bean to parse and XML file. Yes, I know the 'spec violation' here w/respect to the EJB code path interacting with the IO API.
If during deployment the CDI bean throws and exception during @PostConstruct it fails and the EJB's @PostConstruct fails causing a:
Exception while invoking class org.glassfish.ejb.startup.EjbApplication start method exception of javax.ejbEJBException: javax.ejb.CreateException: Initialization failed for Singleton FooBar from javax.enterprise.system.tools.admin.org.glassfish.deployment.admin
This all results in Glassfish failing to deploy the web app. Fine, that's expected. Now the cause of this stemmed from a XML file parse error. If the file is fixed so that it parses correctly and I simply try to redeploy WITHOUT restarting Glassfish I am greeted with a:
org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: java.lang.IllegalArguementException: javax.servlet.ServletException: com.sun.enterprise.container.common.spi.util.InjectionException: Error creating managed object for class: com.foo.bar.MyServletContextListerner
The last exception in the stack is:
Caused by: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.IllegalArgumentException: WELD-001324 Argument bean must not be null
If I stop the Glassfish domain and restart the domain and deploy again everything works fine. Its as if the initial deployment failure has left the domain in a bad state. I'm surprised, I would have expected GF to clear out the domain state when it fails to deploy a web app like this.

Iraqi Christian Details How Militants Kidnapped Her 3-Year-Old
Ayda and Khider Abada discuss with residents of Ain Kawa, Iraq, on 28 August how their daughter was kidnapped by Islamic State militants in Qaraqosh. Ayda Abada said when she followed her daughter off the bus the terrorists pointed guns at her face and told her to get back on the bus or they would kill her. (photo: CNS/Sahar Mansour)
04 Sep 2014 By Simon Caldwell
MANCHESTER, England (CNS) — An Iraqi Christian woman has described how her 3-year-old daughter was abducted by Islamist terrorists.
Christina Khider Abada was seated beside her mother, Ayda Abada, on a bus when captors from the Islamic State snatched her and took her away.
According to an account by the mother, who followed her daughter off the bus, the crying child was passed from one militant to another while Ayda Abada begged for her to be returned.
Finally, the terrorists pointed guns in the face of the mother and told her to get back on the bus or they would kill her.
Fellow refugee Sahar Mansour interviewed Ayda Abada and her husband, Khider Abada, as they circulated pictures of their daughter in Ankawa refugee camp, near Erbil, Iraq, in the hope of gaining information about the toddler's whereabouts.
In a 1 September email to Catholic News Service, Mansour said the abduction occurred 24 August in the Syriac Christian town of Qaraqosh, Iraq, which had fallen to Islamic State militants the night of 6-7 August.
Khider Abada is blind, so the family did not flee their home. They were among 30 Christian families to remain in the town as the fighters arrived.
The Islamic State fighters began to cleanse the town of Christians after about a week, mainly by putting villagers on buses, which were then driven toward Kurdish-controlled territory — but also, according to Amnesty International — by abducting girls and young women.
Ayda Abada said the family was first ordered by the fighters to go to a health center on the pretext of undergoing simple health checks, but they were later robbed of all their possessions and told to board a bus.
In her email, Mansour reported that the mother said she seated Christina beside her, but recalled, "then one of ISIS men came and had a look over the bus and saw my daughter Christina."
"He took her out of the bus and ISIS man went to the direction of the health center," Ayda Abada told Mansour.
"Then later, another older man from the terrorists came from the health center and was carrying Christina, and came straight to me and asked me: 'Is this your daughter?'" Ayda Abada continued.
"I said yes. Both of us, Christina and myself, were crying. I asked them many times that Christina is a little baby and she is innocent, she is just a little baby girl, and I pleaded [with] them and begged his mercy to allow my child to return to me," she told Mansour.
"I told them that she is very little, [and asked] what kind of crime she had done," she said. "Then the ISIS men told me in aggressive way: 'If you want your daughter, we will kill you. Then these men put the gun to my head and with violent tone forced me to get back in the bus."
She added: "My heart was with my daughter … I do not know how to live without my child Christina, but ISIS men forced me to go back into the bus. All the time my heart and thought were with my daughter, Christina."News Source : Iraqi Christian Details How Militants Kidnapped Her 3-Year-Old

Urgh. No. The US is both a republic (a form of state in which the country is considered a "common good" and not the legal propriety of the sovereign) and a democracy (a system of governing in which all citizens have an equal say in the choices of government). I don't know why this is so difficult for some people.
Um, maybe it's because those people grew up saying the Pledge of Allegiance in school and know they didn't pledge allegiance to a "democratic republic" of the United States? Maybe it's because nowhere in the Constitution is the United States or any state government referred to as a democracy? Maybe it's because states and territories call themselves many things (republics, commonwealths, protectorates) but not one is referred to as a democratic republic?
The United States of America is a REPUBLIC. It was designed as a republic based on the First Republic (Rome), which had some democratic processes but was not a DIRECT DEMOCRACY like Athens or Sparta, something most people who are actually educated in history more rigid than Social Studies actually get. Perhaps you ought to pay more attention to people who find your idea of a democratic republic "difficult."

Is electing socialist Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the British Labour Party the way to beat austerity?
Posted by John, July 29th, 2015 - under British Labour Party, Fighting back, Jeremy Corbyn, Reform, Resistance, Revolution.
Comments: 3
The support for Jeremy Corbyn's campaign is a very good sign but British Labour isn't the answer, argues Charlie Kimber, national secretary of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) in Socialist Worker UK
From reformism to struggle and regroupment
Posted by John, July 14th, 2015 - under Austerity, Australia, Greece, Reformism, Revolution.
Comments: 4
If there are two lessons I draw from the surrender of SYRIZA they are, first, not to pursue a grand reformist project, especially an electoralist one aimed at winning power to manage capitalism, and second to consider how to unite those small and disparate forces now on the ground in Australia that understand that the emancipation of the working class must be the act of the working class.
The makings of revolution
Posted by John, May 12th, 2015 - under Revolution, Socialist Worker US.
Comments: none
The word "revolution" is often misused to describe events or historical developments that are far from revolutionary. Writing in Socialist Worker US, Paul D'Amato, author of The Meaning of Marxism, explains what Marxists mean – and don't mean – when they talk about revolution.

Posted by John, January 19th, 2015 - under Inequality, Oxfam, Reform, Revolution.
Comments: 6
According to Oxfam: The combined wealth of the richest 1 percent will overtake that of the other 99 percent of people next year unless the current trend of rising inequality is checked, Oxfam warned today ahead of the annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos. This is the logic of capitalism. It is irreformable. Revolution […]
State capitalism and the fall of the Berlin Wall
Posted by John, November 23rd, 2014 - under Berlin Wall, Revolution, Stalinism.
Comments: 1
Here is a snippet from a good article in Solidarity in Australia about the fall of the Berlin Wall. It describes the Stalinist regimes as state capitalist. I would urge those interested in understanding how 'socialism' could be overthrown by the very workers it supposedly ruled for to read this. I would especially urge members of Socialist Alternative in Australia to read it to help re-discover their hidden history and analysis.
This Changes Everything: Workers have the power to stop climate change

Writing in Socialist Worker UK, Martin Empson reviews Naomi Klein's new book, This Changes Everything, and argues that the only way to stop climate change is to get rid of capitalism There's no denying it—capitalism is damaging the planet. The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report proves that humans are fundamentally changing the […]
A workers' uprising in Germany ended World War One

Volkhard Mosler in Socialist Worker UK looks at how revolt in Germany spread from the front to the factories in 1918 and ended World War One.
The revolutions of 1989: how the old regimes were torn down

Revolt swept across Eastern Europe 25 years ago, toppling the Berlin Wall and the Stalinists who built it. The real socialists were cheering, argues Tomáš Tengely-Evans in Socialist Worker UK
Palestine and the Arab counter-revolution
Posted by John, July 23rd, 2014 - under Arab revolution, Egypt, Egyptian revolution, Israel, Palestine, Revolution.
Comments: 1
There are two things that are certain. One, the crisis of poverty and inequality and injustice that brought forth the Arab revolution has not been resolved and will not go away. Two, however terrible the defeats suffered by revolutionaries across the Middle East these past years, the flame of resistance has not been extinguished.
Tiananmen Square: lessons for the future for the Chinese working class
Posted by John, June 3rd, 2014 - under China, Chinese Communist Party, Chinese workers, Revolution, Tiananmen Square.
Comments: 5
Tiananmen Square was a dress rehearsal for the future. The Chinese working class has a material interest in democracy. It has the strength to overthrow the corrupt and bankrupt butchers in Beijing and their sons and daughters. Having done that the Chinese working class will be forced to take the revolution beyond bourgeois political demands and threaten capitalism in China itself. Then and only then can we talk about genuine socialism, the self-emancipation of the working class through its own democratic organs to organise production to satisfy human need, not to make a profit.

His vehicle, discovered near Hardin Point in the Tunica Cut-off area, has been sent to the Mississippi Crime Laboratory in Batesville, Miss., according to the Tunica County Sheriff's Department.

But European researchers didn't just splice those genes into the tomato for aesthetic reasons. In a recent issue of Nature, the researchers write that Snapdragon transgenes also boosted the tomato's natural anthocyanin levels by threefold, which means the fruit now has the antioxidant properties of a blackberry or blueberry. Cancer-susceptible mice eating the purple transgenic tomatoes had far longer lifespans than those who didn't. [via The Biotech Weblog]25ReplyLeave a reply

On and on it went at nearly all of the closing holes. Many fans cheered and a few expressed loud support for Garcia, only to have someone yell something like "Winner, winner, chicken dinner!" as one did standing on a patio of a pricey home alongside the sixth fairway.
The wear and tear of a long day finally seemed to show on Garcia on the par-3 ninth, his next-to-last hole. When his tee shot there fluttered off to the right and into a greenside bunker, his shoulders slumped and he walked across the tee box dragging his club behind him like a broom. Yet he hit a terrific wedge into No. 10 that bounced twice and slammed on the brakes just two feet from the hole for birdie.
If only his efforts to make up with Woods had gone that smoothly. Garcia walked over to where his rival was practicing on the range Monday and offered his hand. The two shook, and briefly exchanged a few words.
Garcia also left a note in Woods' locker. Asked if there was a response, he said simply, "No. I haven't really seen him."

About the ManufacturerBorn and raised in New York City, Thomas Paul got his start in the fashion business working as an intern at DKNY, in the mid-nineties, after graduating from New York's Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree in textile design. While working as a colorist and designer for a silk mill specializing in neckwear and scarves, he worked on neckwear collections for such designers as Bill Blass, Calvin Klein, and DKNY. This eventually led to the creation of his own neckwear collection, the short-lived digities in the late 90's. From this was born the start of the thomaspaul pillow collection, launched in 2001, which was originally conceived of as an idea of utilizing the silk printing mill's capabilities for home accessories instead of personal accessories. Since then the line has steadily expanded into other categories apart from silk pillows to include tabletop, stationery, and lamp shades. The ultimate goal being to have products covering every aspect of the home, all with thomaspaul patterns gracing them.

Guerlain Wulong Meteorites Pressed Powder ($170.00 for 0.26 oz.) is really meant to be the creme de la creme of luxury compacts and powders. This holiday's refillable compact is a black lacquered metal case that has a lot of heft–the whole compact clocks in at just under 5 oz. The top of the compact is raised with Guerlain's signature rosette, and the interior of the rosette is made up of gold mother-of-pearl.Read Full Review
Chanel Reverie Natural Finish Loose Powder
Chanel Reverie Natural Finish Loose Powder ($52.00 for 1.0 oz.) is described as a "rosy golden beige." I think Chanel missed a vital component of the description, though: LOTS AND LOTS OF SPARKLING BITS AND BOBS. The base color is a soft, candlelit beige with a hint of warmth and pinkness that features flecks of sparkle. It seems less sparkly compared to last holiday's Feerie (which I don't own but saw briefly). If you're not a fan of loose sparkle in your face powders, I'd pass on this. It's a finishing powder that mattifies and sets makeup, but it also had noticeable bits of sparkle everywhere I applied it. I barely patted it on, and there was a healthy blanket of sparkle all over my face (well, the half I applied it to).Read Full Review
La Prairie Translucent Cellular Treatment Loose Powder
La Prairie Translucent Cellular Treatment Loose Powder ($80.00 for 2.20 oz.) is available in two shades, Translucent 1 and Translucent 2, both of which are loose powders designed to set makeup and mattify the skin. It is also supposed to add radiance to the skin. Worth noting is for the price, you get a large, full-size (2.0 oz.) along with a travel-sized version (0.20 oz.), both of which are refillable (though, I did not spy any refills available online, so it may be an in-store purchase only).Read Full Review
Guerlain Teint Rose Meteorites Illuminating & Mattifying Pressed Powder
Guerlain Teint Rose Meteorites Illuminating & Mattifying Pressed Powder ($56.00 for 0.23 oz.) is designed to provide a fine, lightweight all-over powder that helps to minimize imperfections and enhance the natural glow of the complexion. It also sets and mattifies the skin, which makes it one multi-tasking powder.Read Full Review
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
The one I hav been using is actually a smaller size included in one of Laura Mercier's gift sets or travel kits (can't remember), but it was 0.33 oz., whereas the full-size version (which is pictured in this post) is a full 1 oz. It took me six months of regular usage to go through it, so I imagine a full-size should last at least a year with daily use or a year and a half with 3-4 uses a week. I just picked up the full-size during Sephora's F&F sale last month.Read Full Review
MAC Marcel Wanders: MAC Sheer Mystery Powder
MAC Sheer Mystery Powder ($60.00 for 0.56 oz.) is described as "an ultra-fine, super sheer, and very sophisticated pressed powder … "Mysteriously" silky-soft in texture, glides on to give skin a velvety matte, slightly luminous and altogether flawless finish." There are only two shades available: Light and Medium Plus. They used to release a shade called Dark Secret, which was more appropriate for darker skin tones.Read Full Review

7-Eleven Proprietary Ticket
"Oh thank heaven for 7-Eleven" has been a well-known slogan for the largest convenience store chain operating in the United States.
But the U.S. lottery industry is redefining that slogan in the newest iteration of a proprietary scratch ticket.
The Virginia Lottery launched a $7 branded 7-Eleven scratch ticket on March 10.
"7-Eleven is an important corporate partner for the Virginia Lottery," said Paula Otto, Executive Director, Virginia Lottery. "The 700+ stores across Virginia generate about 20% of our sales. For the Virginia Lottery, the partnership supports our vision of delivering games to the broadest possible consumer base. For 7-Eleven, the partnership is a unique opportunity to engage customers and promote its growing fresh foods business. We believe partnering with well-known brands creates opportunities to reach new players in creative ways. We structure our arrangements to maximize partner benefits, driving retail traffic and enhancing the 'brand experience' of our partners' customers, while offering amazing prizes and reinforcing the lottery's mission to support education across Virginia."
The partnership helps both brands achieve their goals. Virginia Lottery wants more visibility for its brand while 7-Eleven wants to grow its proprietary food and beverage business.
"The proprietary ticket portion of the proposal was our way to help 7-Eleven achieve their goals and in return, we were able to receive incremental signage (both permanent and campaign specific), get attention and priority for the Virginia Lottery at 7-Eleven corporate and store level personnel, and begin to implement operational procedures to drive lottery sales," said Rob Wesley, Director of Sales, Virginia Lottery.
For example, 7-Eleven has agreed to increase their POS material in their stores. "This includes placement of electronic jackpot signs, large window signage to support proprietary ticket which was produced by 7-Eleven and distributed in their monthly signage kits directly to the stores, execution of new game distribution incentives and sales contests where store personnel, field consultants and market managers were all rewarded for performance, and providing time and resources to develop consistent direction and training on in-store accounting procedures," said Wesley.
The lottery chose the $7 price point to help differentiate the scratcher. "The $5 and $10 price points are our strongest, so it made sense to find something in the middle that would play off the 7-Eleven name," explained Otto.
"Large corporate accounts look for something unique and proprietary for them," added Wesley. "To help make the partnership proposal a strong one, we did just that. We gave them something no one else had, a $7 scratcher. This made the plan even stronger and helped us get the things we were asking 7-Eleven to do."
This proprietary ticket could make 7-Eleven think "oh thank heaven for the Virginia Lottery" as customers are buying into the concept.
"The redemption rate so far is close to 50%. 7-Eleven is very pleased with the results," said Otto.
Two other U.S. lotteries have sold proprietary 7-Eleven scratch tickets. Washington's Lottery ran a $2 ticket in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The most recent ticket featured a second-chance tear-away coupon on the ticket where where players would buy a $5 Mega Millions and be entered into a drawing for $20,000, $10,000 or 10 winners of $1,000.
The Oregon Lottery sold a $2 proprietary ticket launched in September 2013. 7-Eleven provided a coupon at the bottom of the ticket for donuts, Slurpee, Big Bite and the 7-Eleven app.
Super-Sized Scratch Off
Taking a nod from McDonalds, the Texas Lottery is asking players if they want to "super size" a scratcher purchase at retail.
In April, the Texas Lottery debuted its new Super-Sized product offering. Called Super Ticket™ 7's, the ticket costs $10 and measures 12 inches by 8 inches. The ticket is printed by IGT.
"Each of the instant ticket print manufacturers is able to print oversized tickets," said Dale Bowersock, Instant Product Coordinator, Texas Lottery. "Since we have contracts in place with all three vendors, we asked them to provide concepts for an oversized game. Texas Lottery management reviewed the submitted designs and locked in on this design. 7's themed tickets have always been popular in Texas and this design caught our eye since it combined both the gems theme and the 7's theme with a black background."
Bowersock reported the game is off to a fantastic start with $8.1 million in sales the first week and $9.8 million the second week. "We hope the sales continue to be strong and will make this game our best indexing game at the $10 price point to date," he said.
The larger size is unique and gives the ticket a great deal of added value for the existing $10 player. "There are up to 42 chances to win and the extra play action keeps the player engaged for a longer period of time without complicated play action. This extra play action may also appeal to a player who has considered the $10 price point in the past but not actually purchased that price point," said Bowersock.
Super Ticket has already achieved the highest weekly sales for a $10 ticket in Texas Lottery history thanks to a big retail push. "The majority of the dual-sized dispensers are prominently displayed at the top of our retailer's dispenser displays and are also featured on top of special 5-bin dispenser towers that are placed at retail locations which will accept them," said Bowersock. "There are approximately 16,200 dual-sized dispensers in market with roughly 1,800 featured on the special towers. We hope to continue to place more of these dispensers as more retailers see the sales potential."
Super Ticket is not supported by an advertising campaign. "The Texas Lottery introduces approximately 90 games a year and the majority of them receive no advertising support," said Bowersock. "We believed the merchandising of the game in the larger dispensers with void samples connected to those dispensers would be strong enough to garner retailer support of the product and player interest."
The lottery ordered 8,154,100 tickets. There are no plans to reorder more tickets. "We want to keep this game unique and only offer it at special times through the year," said Bowersock. "By allowing it to quickly sell through and then be out of market, we hope to build anticipation and demand for the next release in the future without wearing out the new concept too quickly."
Electronic Games Ban
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton has opted not to veto the legislation to halt the Minnesota Lottery's electronic games. The bill passed after overwhelming votes in the Senate in May and the House on May 14. Spokesman Matt Swenson said the governor would defer to their will rather than veto it, which could have subjected him to a possible override attempt, according to CBS.
The legislature did preserve the lottery's right to sell draw games on the Internet. Currently, players can purchase seven draw games online: All or Nothing, Daily 3, Gopher 5, Hot Lotto, Northstar Cash, Mega Millions and Powerball. In calendar 2015, the lottery sold $2.2 million in draw games online. In addition, the lottery's eScratch sales totaled $700,428 in calendar 2014. eScratch sales represent a partial year as the Minnesota Lottery launched the product online in February 2014.
Last year, the Minnesota Lottery narrowly avoided the Internet ban on electronic games, which included the eScratch® games sold online at www.mnlottery.com as well as the draw games sold at gas pumps and through ATMs.
Minnesota Lottery was the first U.S. lottery to sell eScratch games online. (Now, however, there are three U.S. lotteries selling eScratch games as Georgia Lottery Corp. and Michigan Lottery both launched online scratch sales.)
The legislature has given the lottery a four-month window to end its contract with vendors. "It's not just turning off a switch," said Ed Van Petten, Executive Director of the Minnesota Lottery. "We'll have to work with our vendors on that issue and determine what is and isn't possible."
In addition, the state could be sued by these vendors. Early termination damages could climb as high as $12 million.
Van Petten has warned that the draw games sold online could be at risk. "I can't imagine our vendors would continue the contract if we breach part of it," he stressed.
The launch of eScratch games was covered in the March/April 2014 issue of La Fleur's Magazine. At startup, the lottery was projecting $50,000 per month with expectations that there would be steady sales increases. Sales actually outperformed estimates.
Minnesota Lottery contracts with Scientific Games and has deployed its Sciplay iLottery platform. "For eScratch specifically, Scientific Games' Sciplay platform serves to house and distribute the games. The games themselves are provided by members of the Sciplay.Studio community. Our initial games were provided by Sciplay.Studio member Instant Win Gaming, and these initial games are performing very strongly. Forward going, we are reviewing additional games in the IWG portfolio along with games from other Sciplay.Studio partners," reported Jenny Canfield, Director, Operations at Minnesota Lottery (as reported in the 2014 article).
New Powerball Matrix
On May 7, MUSL members voted to change the Powerball matrix to 5/66 + 1/32. The current matrix is 5/59 + 1/35. This change will be implemented in October 2015.
According to MUSL Executive Director Chuck Strutt, the matrix change will result in $5.8 billion in projected Powerball sales for the 12 months beginning with the October start date. The jackpot projection is $309 million, with an average hit rate of 10 to 11 jackpots per year. If the directors had voted against the matrix change, projected Powerball sales were $4.1 billion in this same period and the jackpot projection was $174 million.
Originally, MUSL members had voted to change the matrix in July as well as add a new $1 PowerPlus add-on game.
The summer 2015 launch was shuttled. "The change to the game that was approved last fall at our meeting in Atlantic City altered the value proposition for the players in a material way," said Jeff Anderson, Chairman of MUSL's Powerball Committee. "It did make the game different and potentially more complex. Following the troubles with the Monopoly Millionaires Club (MMC) National Premium Game, members were concerned about complexity since the perception was the reason why the MMC draw game had difficulty gaining traction with consumers."

IGT announced that its subsidiary GTECH Corp. has entered into a contract with the Minnesota State Lottery to provide new lottery technology, an IP-communications network, multimedia displays, self-service products, and ongoing support services, following a competitive procurement.
The 7.5 year integrated services contract with the lottery contains three renewal options of one year each, or up to one renewal of three years, or any variation thereof.
The contract is valued at approximately $75 million to $80 million in revenues over the base 7.5 year contract period, which runs through August 9, 2023.
"The Minnesota State Lottery has built its success based upon strong retailer relationships and understanding its players' preferences," said Michael Chambrello, CEO of North America Lottery at IGT. "We will continue to work in partnership with this forward-thinking lottery to offer the most appropriate technology solutions and a diversified product mix tailored to meet the ever-changing needs of the lottery's retail landscape, and adapt as its business evolves over the next seven-and-a-half years. As well, we will remain focused on maximizing profitability for the lottery by continually searching for ways to grow sales while operating effectively and efficiently."
"IGT is the right partner for building on the Lottery's 25 years of success and maximizing the Lottery's contribution to the State of Minnesota," said Minnesota State Lottery Executive Director Ed Van Petten.
Scientific Games Corporation has signed a contract to provide OPAP S.A. (OPAP) with 5,000 video lottery terminals (VLTs) pursuant to OPAP's 10-year license to operate a network of 16,500 VLTs across the country. Deployment is expected to begin in spring 2015 and conclude by the end of the year.
"We are proud to be chosen as one of the four suppliers to collaborate with OPAP in the installation and operations of VLTs in Greece," said Gavin Isaacs, President and Chief Executive Officer, Scientific Games. "We believe the selection of Scientific Games to provide a significant portion of the entire network reflects the value we expect to generate with the great entertainment experience that our VLT games and cabinets provide to players.
"Our unique combination of content libraries allows us to provide game suites that include the best of Bally, Barcrest, Shuffle Master and WMS branded content, which provides a variety of unique play experiences and value to operators and players in Greece and around the world," Isaacs added. "We look forward to supporting OPAP in the successful launch and seamless operation of this important new business in Greece."

Scientific Games Corporation announced that Santa Casa da Misericordia de Lisboa (SCML), the operator of the Portuguese State Lottery, reported record instant game sales in 2014, a year-over-year increase of 18%. The trend has continued in 2015 with instant game sales exhibiting an unprecedented year-over-year increase of more than 35% thus far.
Scientific Games signed a two-year contract in February 2014 to provide instant games and related services to SCML. The services provided include game planning, design and production, as well as sales, marketing and consulting services. Under the contract, which was awarded following a competitive procurement process, Scientific Games became the sole supplier of the lottery's instant games.
"The instant ticket category in Portugal has seen tremendous growth over the past four years, due in large part to the games and services provided by Scientific Games," said Fernando Paes Afonso, Vice Provedor of SCML. "Our collaborative approach has enabled us to grow revenue and contribute to a number of good causes in Portugal, and we're looking forward to exploring further opportunities to ensure that success continues."
"This affirms the role our innovation and creativity has played in the significant growth of the instant game category in Portugal," said Jim Kennedy, Executive Vice President, Group Chief Executive of Lottery, at Scientific Games. "SCML is a charitable organization involved in a number of humanitarian activities, and Scientific Games recognizes that helping drive continued growth for the instant product will benefit many of the underprivileged children and the elderly in Portugal."
Santa Casa da Misericordia de Lisboa is currently ranked in the top four lotteries in Europe for instant game per capita sales, according to La Fleur's 2015 World Lottery Almanac.
The Prize Patrol is coming! Alchemy3 is partnering with Publishers Clearing House (PCH)—a leading provider of offline and online free to play games and sweepstakes—to bring PCH-branded games to lotteries and their customers.
"As lotteries shift some of their efforts back to the core player, the wide spread recognition of the Publishers Clearing House brand coupled with the dream of winning, make PCH an ideal partner for lotteries," said Jeffrey Schweig, President of Alchemy3. "With a long-standing reputation for offering the pre-eminent sweepstakes, PCH also recently established itself online as a leading provider of digital 'play and win' entertainment properties that are very popular with lottery core players."
"For decades Publishers Clearing House has been known as the sweepstakes, prize winning brand," said Todd Sloane, Senior Vice President of PCH. "Through our online initiatives, we have also introduced Instant Win and Draw games, and I believe lotteries will not only score with their core, but also attract the thrill seeking generation of the online digital player."
Lotteries will also be able to leverage the popular PCH Prize Patrol®, a group that travels the country surprising lucky cash prize winners with a big oversized check, balloons, roses and champagne.
"Incorporating the Prize Patrol into lottery programs provides lottery marketers with a way to feature the 'thrill of the win' which we rarely have the opportunity to capture with our typical lottery games," said Schweig.
Since 1953, PCH has grown from a direct marketer offering magazine deals to a omni-present multi-channel brand that offers a range of merchandise for sale as well as a wide variety of "free to play" chances to win through their growing network of digital "play and win" entertainment websites. PCH's programs cover the United States and Canada.
Pollard Banknote reported that after just four weeks of sales, the Texas Lottery has sold 37% of its licensed $2 Tetris® instant tickets. The game was launched March 16.
The Texas Lottery and Pollard Banknote worked with The Tetris Company to develop a ticket and merchandise program customized specifically for the Texas market. The ticket art captures the iconic elements of the Tetris game but with a twist—the famous Tetrimino playing pieces have been used to create a Texas-shaped grid.
"Tetris is a phenomenon now celebrating 30 years as one of the leading and most distinctive video game brands in the world. The Texas Lottery selected this iconic game for its broad appeal; it simply transcends age, culture, and language," said Gary Grief, Executive Director of the Texas Lottery.
To promote this Tetris ticket, the Texas Lottery participated in the annual Cinco de Mayo celebrations at Market Square in San Antonio. On May 2, the lottery's booth was a must-see kiosk for festival-goers who could stop by to play a jumbo version of Tetris Blitz, the lightning fast Tetris mobile game by Electronic Arts, live on a 20-foot LED wall. A roaming Tetrimino-topped team shared information about the Tetris instant ticket and Tetris Blitz mobile game.
"The excitement of the live event combined with the strong brand equity of the Tetris brand is expected to create excitement and increase awareness and sales of the instant ticket,"explained Sina Aiello, Vice President, Marketing at Pollard Banknote.

I am supposed to take gabapentin for my achies, but Mom has a tough time with me & pills. My mouth is so tiny, it is hard to even use the pill shooter. And as cute as I am, I am not cooperative. Can you beleive that? meee? She tried the pill pockets, which worked great...a couple times until I bit the capsule & got powder in my mouth..that was it. Well, when Momma stopped at the vet to get Maizy's prednisolone, they have a pill paste there. It is by Vetroniquol or something like that. It is brown dough & looks like a jar of playdough. You can take the amount you want to wrap the pill in, and it is softer & moister than pill pockets. Works great & smells & tastes like BACON! Momma says it reminds her of the smell of Beggin Strips. But it worked! At least yesterday! We will see for today. And it worked on Maizy too. At least it takes some of the trauma of pills away. I am scheduled next Tuesday for all my xrays. It will be Smitty's week to chat, but I am sure he or I will post what we find out.
snow again...yickFebruary 1st 2014 2:39 pm
[ Leave A Comment | 3 people already have ]
We got about 5 inches of snow again, and next week it will get colder again. At least it is not as bad as the below zero we just had. Our window in the bathroom even got ice on the inside from those cold days. Mom was looking at my pictures here with my leg - I will be having another surgery on the other side, but I will be going next week for xrays of all of me. The vet gave an expensive estimate, but Momma figures if I have to be sleeping for the hip & knee one, they may as well do all of it, since I don't walk right on the front ones either. They will check my spine, front legs, shoulders, hips, paws, maybe my tail too! heehee She says this way we will know if there is anything else that can be fixed, or if it is causing me pain, or maybe just something that makes me limp but cannot be fixed. As long as it doesn't hurt - who cares if I am a little gimpy. And our vet is offering 10% off that too along with dental work for February! The nice thing with my insurance, my shots & stuff already made the deductible, so they will cover 80%, and then any surgery will cover 80% too. Momma was able to get Carecredit too, and you get betweem 6 to 12 months to pay no finance. So that is good. I am not sure just when I will have surgery, but I will be sure to keep everyone posted on it. For sure we are on Here Kitty Kitty site already. Momma, The Dad & my human sister is having a few pals over tomorrow for the football thingie. She says she doesn't really care about that, but likes to see the commercials & Bruno Mars. Us kitties will all be nice & quiet in her room with our cattree & fixins. The Dad is making his famous smoked pulled pork, and Momma is making chicken wild rice soup. Then everyone is each bringing a dip or snack or dessert. mmm maybe I will get some catnip as a treat..... well, see you later, Happy Football! luv a teensy little limpy black cat

My sweet friend Avail 1034890 lost her battle with mammary cancer yesterday. She just had a 4th surgery battling this awful disease, and had a bad reaction to either the fentanyl patch or the surgery, and her little body just could not fight anymore. She went through so much & was a very strong fighter. Her Momma fought right along side her, and she is so very devastated. Fly free of any pain or sadness sweet Avail. We will miss you.

Seems that since I am a bit em combative when it is time to trim my nails, Mom is taking me to the vet Thursday for them to do it. As quiet & meek as I am, I turn into a Tazmanian Devil when any attempt is made to touch my feet. So Mom says this way I can be mad at the vet & it is only about $7 for them to do it. Hope everyone is enjoying your fall!

thanks for the wishes on my ddp Saturday! Momma did see it, she was just busy. Sunday she had our "Annual End of Summer Shrimp Boil" it has been a tradition for about 10 years either late August early September. Momma makes a Low Country shrimp boil with shrimpies & taters & corn & smoked sausage & lots of Old Bay. Our other gramma came & the human brother & his fiance too. They had fun - me - I hid under the bed til every one was gone.

I am a chewer - I love love looove to chew, cardboard, nip sticks, cat chewies & apparently ...wood. A few times in the past, I got in trouble cause I chewed on the edge of the little wooden box we nap in the kitchen. Mom solved that by making sure the blankie in there covers the edges all the time. All was ok, until she went to use some wood conditioner on her wooden rocking chair. Now this is a special chair. It was given to her when she was 18. She stripped the dark finish & gold (ick right?) painting & stripes off of it & lovingly refinished it to a beautiful honey oak. Many books were read- Both of the human kids were rocked to sleep/fed/stories told/bad dreams banished, you get it, in that chair. So what does she find on the back edges of the rockers? the edges chewed up, and some on the front. Of course we all know who the guilty party is, because I like to sleep on the rug under that chair most nights. Momma's face got this funny twitchy thing going, and then she turned to me as I was on the couch "Felix did you chew my chair?" Frankly why she asked is beyond me, because no one else would have done it really. Maizy will nap on the seat, but no one else really even goes by it. I gave my best "yes I am sooooo guilty and yet I am sooooo cute and I promise I will never well not really chew anything again, and did I mention that I looove you momma?" face. Well of course she could not be mad at me, a little sad, but she says "O well, it is a well worn, loved chair, what is a few more marks - that will make me always think about you Felix." She is not sure if she is gonna sand it or not - but maybe someone knows if there is something that can be put on there to discourage me chewing so I don't get any wood in mah belly. There is stuff for doggies, but something safe for kitties. Dang...now I reeeaaallllly gotta be extra cute. Sorry Momma...

Guess what guys? I RAN a little bit this morning!!! Momma almost fell right over! I eat my breakfast in her bedroom with Maizy, and when she got our bowls & said "come-on babies you want your breakfast?" Maizy started to run down the hall, and I ran too! I even kept up with her! I do say I have been strutting around a bit more than usual, aaannnd last night, I stayed on the cat tree when The Dad was sitting in the kitchen chair RIGHT NEXT TO ME! My pupils didn't get all huge like they do when I am scared either! I eventually did slink down & escape, but Momma says it is progress! So I am gonna strut my stuff around a bit more so I can get an extra treat tonite! Oh and the insurance paid some on my surgery too! Momma thinks we will wait to see how my other leg does for a few months first before she considers more operations. And I have been talking alot too - I have lots to say after being quiet for so long!
