Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
More loving than smutty, this riff on the glory of dirty movies has more double entendres than an X-rated film, but charms with its sincerity. Firsttime author Grahame-Smith first gives a chronology of the porn industry, mentioning nude photography of the early 1900s before going into the Hays Code film regulations of 1930, and then into porn's heyday in the 1970s. Once the history lesson is complete, the author veers into extensive lists of his favorite "classic" films, which he categorizes as featuring actors and actresses without tattoos, but with plenty of body hair. He rhapsodizes about the luscious quality of porn stars from the Debbie Does Dallas era, but gives the current crop of vixens their due, especially those clever enough to parlay their profession into mini-empires of sex toys and Web sites. Also covered in this compact but edifying volume are common terms, fetish videos, international porn and even an ode to the old, smut-drenched Times Square. Lively and entertaining, with a sprinkling of raunchy photos, Grahame-Smith's valentine to his favorite art form is a must for any bookshelf that also holds Flesh Gordon and Lust of the Mohicans. (Jan.)

About the Author
Seth Grahame-Smith still can't believe somebody paid him to watch pornos for an entire year. He lives in Los Angeles with his incredibly tolerant wife, Erin, and their incredibly oblivious dog, Logan. This is his first book.

What this isn't is a collection of "porn". This is a serious book, in the sense the authors approach the subject intending to be both documentary and informational content, as well as a fascinating market to explore. And while there may be some readers who would feel embarrassed about having a book of this nature laying around, especially with the somewhat obvious title, in reality this is a quite remarkable book on an oft-misunderstood market. The historical components, not just covering the emergence of adult content, but the timeline of those ground-breaking movies that defined the growth of home consumption, are quite fascinating and well researched and reported. There's some genuine useful and interesting research gone into the writing, and the author has a narrative style that works well.Read more ›
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
The book opens with a timeline of the invention of still and motion pictures, the ratings administered by the MPAA, the history of obscenity rulings by the Supreme Court, and the evolution of the stag film, peep show, dirty movie theater, and home video. The author is thorough in his examination of history, from the printing press to dime store novels to VHS to the Internet and on to...virtual reality? Grahams-Smith alleges that all the high-falutin' academic research in virtual reality is founded in a desire to invent the Holy Grail of porn. He decries our prudishness about "wardrobe malfunctions" and celebrates the mainstream influence of Madonna, men's magazine Maxim, and the rise of S&M-inspired fashion.
For anyone looking to advance their porn education, the author has a list of 20 all-time classics (Taboo, The Opening of Misty Beethoven, Insatiable, Alice in Wonderland, and more). The list explores the cultural and cinematic significance of each entry. Other lists include five modern classics and the two weirdest classics of all time (my lips are sealed, so pick up the book to find out the titles). The top list of leading ladies is impenetrable (who can argue with Annette Haven at #1?). Sidebars explore the magic formula for determining your porn name, the classic crossover actors, the international perspective, 20 sacred porn movie rules, and who's who in upcoming stars. Includes a glossary.
counter at Starbucks and she was reading the exact same page!?!
It was kismet. We clicked immediately.
I'm a porn history buff, but I had never known
some of these amazing facts and true stories!
Natalie loves the pictures and the do-it-yourself section.
The book is written with a great deal of humor, having
some fun with what is - too often - a very drab topic.
Great interviews, brilliant insights by the author,
and excellent descriptions consistantly make this
book an everyday read for this critic.
One word of advice though:
Go out there and buy your own! It's a better idea!
Oh...and by "clicked"? I meant had sex with each other.
He was the go-to guy when you wanted to know about where to buy fireworks, what beer tasted like, and most importantly: what does "S-E-X" mean? You could ask him anything, and though he may chide you a bit, you'll get your answers.
Author Seth Grahame-Smith is THAT guy.
The Big Book of Porn has the answers to all those questions you were too lazy to search the internet to find, and too embarassed to ask your friends at the poker game. With a sharp and humorous slant to his writing, Grahame-Smith plows through the decades to make the Big Book of Porn an overview that's not only informative, but laugh out loud funny.
The Big Book of Porn isn't the end-all, be-all for the history of porn, but if you want a crash course in what was, is, and will be, it's a must-read primer. Before you know it, you'll be the tough kid everyone is coming to for answers.

I'm dealing with some problems in a few files about the encoding. We receive files from other company and have to read them (the files are in csv format)
Strangely, the files appear to be encoded in UTF-16. I am managing to do that, but I have to open them using the
codecs module and specifying the encoding, this way.
ENCODING = 'utf-16'
with codecs.open(test_file, encoding=ENCODING) as csv_file:
# Autodetect dialect
dialect = csv.Sniffer().sniff(descriptor.read(1024))
input_file = csv.reader(descriptor, dialect=dialect)
for line in input_file:
But, just like I am able to get the dialect in a more agnostic way, I 'm thinking it will be great to have a way of opening automatically the files with its proper encoding, at least all the text files. There are other programs, like vim that achieve that.
Anyone knows a way of doing that in python 2.6?
PD: I hope that this will be solved in Python 3, as all the strings are Unicode...

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2017 Acura ILX
By Richard Homan
KBB Expert Rating: 7.1
The 2013 Acura ILX sedan has set its sights on tapping into a 4-door luxury-leaning market that sits just below, in price and size, the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 audience. Acura has its entry-level-luxury bets covered with three models – sedate, sporty and hybrid – each with its own style.
For the time being, the 2013 Acura ILX has a lock on this little-lux sedan niche, so if you gotta get a diminutive, fine-finished 4-door today, look no further.
If you think that for a new car to carry a strong whiff of luxury, it needs to have some stretch-out room and standard leather, the ILX is not your first choice. You'll have to go up a size or wait a year for the 2014 Audi A3 sedan or the rumored 2014 BMW 1 Series sedan.
All-new to Acura, but based on the new-for-2012
Honda Civic architecture, the 2013 ILX sedan isn't full-court luxury, but it's nicer than a really nice Civic.
It would be easy to say that the ILX drives just like a Civic, but truth be told, it doesn't. Although the ILX is small and light like a Civic,...
... its interior layout looks far more sophisticated and the cabin is beefed up to drown out the outside noise, which makes for an overall more pleasant driving experience. The steering effort is light and the ride varies from comfortable to firm depending upon the model. We had the chance to sample all three powertrains the ILX has to offer and came away impressed with all them, each in its own way. The base 2.0-liter engine has plenty of power for the everyday drive, although getting up steep hills proved a little challenging. BMW 3 Series, this is not. The hybrid powertrain, while slower than the 2.0, easily netted us a constant 38 mpg in mixed driving conditions. The high-revving 2.4-liter puts a legit sporting face on the ILX.
2.4-LITER, i-VTEC ENGINE
Taken straight out of the Honda Civic Si, the high-revving 2.4-liter engine offered in the ILX adds a wild side to the car and is enough to awaken anyone's inner boy racer.
The Technology Package is offered in all of Acura's models and we would definitely opt for it in the ILX. We like the sweet sounds of the Acura ELS 10-speaker audio system, as well as the intuitive navigation system with AcuraLink Realtime traffic and weather.
The 2013 ILX interior is roomy in front, claustrophobic in the rear, and well equipped throughout. Comfort and convenience items like keyless entry, dual-zone climate control and a power tilt/slide moonroof are standard, as is modern magic like Bluetooth capability, an iPhone-compatible USB port, text messaging and Pandora radio.
We define the Acura ILX's exterior as "subtly elegant." So much so that one could forgive the signature Acura shield-style grille that can be off-putting on other models. But in comparison to other cars in the segment like the Buick Verano or the CT 200h, the ILX treats viewers to a contemporary look, forgoing an overly staid or overtly futuristic approach.
The 2013 Acura ILX comes with a healthy list of standard features. Some of the more notable ones include a sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless ignition and entry, Bluetooth and audio connectivity, a rearview camera, and a 6-speaker audio system with a USB/iPod interface, and Pandora integration. Cloth seating surfaces are standard, as are 16-inch wheels.
Two major packages dominate the ILX options roster. For the comfort lover, Premium Package highlights include leather upholstery, a power-adjustable seat for the driver, heated front seats, plus a hotted-up 7-speaker sound system and rearview camera. The Technology Package includes the upgraded audio, navigation and voice recognition, and AcuraLink's satellite communications menu which features Real-Time Traffic, traffic rerouting and weather.
The three distinct ILX personalities referred to earlier shake out thus:
ILX 2.0L – 150 horsepower with a smooth-shifting 5-speed automatic transmission.
ILX 2.4L – 201 horsepower pulling strong through a 6-speed manual transmission.
ILX 1.5L Hybrid – 39 miles per gallon in the city, 38 mpg on the highway.
2.0-liter inline-4
150 horsepower @ 6,500 rpm
140 lb-ft of torque @ 4,300 rpm

"I just bought a 2017 ILX in red. It is a great value for the money. My TSX lease just ended and I had to let it go. When comparing to TSX, the ILX is more comfortable for sure, has a nice back up camera, push button start, cool LED lights, and a smoother ride. The TSX has better storage spots, ILX has no change spot, nothing for sunglasses and poor side storage. Also, TSX is a lot quicker off the line with tighter steering. The look of the ILX in my opinion is really nice with simple clean interior."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 2,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Great Value, Comfortable"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"As you see, this car is much more economy than all the other cars in the same level. I own a 2016 Acura ILX with Tech Plus. This one makes me feel so safe when driving. Saw some critical comments on the other sites saying that the cars interior is not that good; totally disagree, like the interior. Love the seats, screens and all the other design. The room is big enough; the second row has enough room for the passenger's legs. Have to mention about the fuel economy: the car I drive has average 30.5 mpg. Before I purchased ILX, the only other car I considered is Audi A3, However, the room is much smaller than ILX. And like others said, German cars cost you more on maintanance. In a long term, Japanese cars keep the value for sure. I am that one who do not care about horsepower or speed, so I made decision. But as you may know, 2016 ILX makes a big progress over 2015 model, it has 201 horsepower. If any of my friends who is going to buy a sedan with $30k budget, I would suggest them this one. If you consider buying this car, listen to those who have already owned 2016 Acura ILX regardless those who do not have one. Because we are those who drive this car everyday."

"Quicker, quieter, nicer interior, more comfortable than a civic or mazda 3. The 8-speed DCT with paddle shifters is a huge performance bump. Not quite as quick or good on the skid pad as an Audi or BMW but better fuel economy and much less to maintain. Just a good mix of them all. My favorite compromise between the German entry luxury and the economy and reliability of the Japanese."

Pros: "Comfortable, Great Quality & Price"
Cons: "Slower than would like"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I have only owned this car for one week and already love it. I traded in my 2003 CL, Type S which I had for 11 years. I love all the extra features that my car didn't have such as the Bluetooth, backup camera & push start. The only thing I do miss about my CL is the speed and acceleration. This car doesn't even compare to my CL. But for me that is a minor price to pay. The ILX does however get much better gas mileage and I can use regular gas instead of premium now. I love the look of the ILX and how comfortable it is. It is definitely a smoother ride than what I am used to. I would always drive the ILX as a loaner car when mine was being repaired and never really thought about buying one. But when it came time to trade my car in I knew I wanted another Acura and looking at some of the other models this was the best deal. And I know with Acura's quality and low maintenance costs I won't be spending a ton of extra money. I would definitely recommend this car if you are looking for an affordable, comfortable luxury car and are not concerned about speed or horsepower."

Pros: "Great price, nice highend features."
Cons: "Too light (car's weight), BAD BAD suspension."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 5
"This car has all the nice features like other expensive Acura cars. The only 2 complaints I have, however, are what I consider regarding safety and comfort. For safety: It's a very light car - probably the lightest car I've ever driven, and having been driving for other Acura cars (TL, MDX), I'm used to heavy cars and feel it's safer that way. When making turns, I feel the ILX is a little hard to control since it's so light. Another important problem is - it's suspension is the worse I've ever driven - even worse than an old Toyota Corolla I had back in the 90s. With our MDX and any other cars, I've never felt this way. This ILX feels very bumpy, almost like it has no suspension. I hope they have improved this for the newer year ILX."

This is my first airaid intake. I have dealt with other companies such as AFE for my Tundra. One thing I can say is that this is the quietest intake I have every heard. Everyone has different taste and I wouldn't mind if it was a tad louder. Installation and directions were good and installation was easier than other brands.

It was very easy to install. I had to go buy shorter bolts because I have a K & N filter set up. The bolts they sent are for a stock installation. It might of given me an extra 2 or 3 mpg, but I've only run 1 tank through so far. I didn't notice any power difference. I was in it for the mileage.

LIMERICK Ś Area kids will get a hands-on experience with hoses, ladders and other tools of the firefighting trade at a camp held at the Limerick firehouse this summer.
Limerick Fire Company Chief Ken Shuler said the camp will teach kids about fire safety and how firefighters respond to emergencies.
ōThis is new to us but others have been doing it for a few years,ö Shuler said. ōNew Jersey has done a few and one or two others in Montgomery County (have).ö
The camp will run between July 21 and 25, will be open to kids who are 6 to 13 years old.
Registration is open at www.LimerickFireRescue.org with a fee of $15.
Camps like the one Limerick will host serve as good recruitment tools, Shuler told the board of supervisors at their meeting last week.
ōLimerick has been very fortunate in our recruitment efforts,ö he told The Mercury Tuesday. ōRecruitment is something that when you are in a volunteer service you never stop doing. Things may be great today but things change all the time with peopleÆs jobs and home life.ö
At the moment, Shuler said he has ōclose to 50 active firefighters,ö which means those are personnel making it to 20 percent of all calls and 50 percent of training.
ōI am always looking at the future and protecting the fire company and the township and preserving the volunteer fire service,ö Shuler said.
Shuler said Limerick Fire CompanyÆs volunteers ōwill be running everythingö for the camp.
The list of activities isnÆt finalized, but those who attend the week-long camp can expect to get hands-on training with firefighting equipment, learn about the firehouse and the apparatus housed inside as well as ōwatch several live demonstrations from the firemen,ö according to a press release about the camp.
Registration is closed after July 14.
Shuler said he hopes to make this camp a yearly occurrence.

Denver Museum Plans to Repatriate Kenyan Sculptures
Thursday, January 09, 2014
DENVER, COLORADO—Thirty statues, some of them estimated to be 100 years old, that have been stored at the Denver Museum of Nature since 1990 will be returned to the National Museums of Kenya. Known as vigango, the statues are carved from wood by the Mijikenda people and erected to honor the dead. Many such statues have been taken and sold in the United States because there are no laws in Kenya or the U.S. to protect them. Monica L. Udvardy of the University of Kentucky has tracked vigango for the past 30 years. Her work led to the repatriation of two vigango—one from the Illinois State Museum and the other from Hampton University Museum in Virginia. To date, these two statues had been the only ones to have been returned by American museums.

We investigated the impact of copepods on the seston community in a mesocosm set-up, and assessed how the changes in food quantity, quality and size affected the condition of the grazers, by measuring the RNA:DNA ratios in different developmental stages of Calanus finmarchicus. Manipulated copepod densities did not affect the particulate carbon concentration in the mesocosms. On the other hand, chlorophyll a content increased with higher copepod densities, and increasing densities had a positive effect on seston food quality in the mesocosms, measured as C:N ratios and ω3:ω6 fatty acid ratios. These food quality indicators were significantly correlated to the nutritional status of C. finmarchicus. In contrast to our expectations, these results suggest a lower copepod growth potential on higher quality food. However, in concordance with earlier studies, we found that when copepods were in high densities the large particles (>1000 µm3) decreased and that the smaller particles (<1000 µm3) increased in number. These patterns were closely linked to the condition of C. finmarchicus, which were of better condition (RNA:DNA ratios) with increasing biovolumes of large particles, and, conversely, lower RNA:DNA ratios with increasing biovolumes of smaller particles. Consequentially, the selective grazing by copepods stimulated increased biovolumes of smaller plankton, and this increase was responsible for the increased food quality, in terms of C:N and ω3:ω6 ratios. Thus, we conclude that the decreasing growth potentials of C. finmarchicus were a result of a decrease of favourably sized food particles, induced by copepod grazing.

I liked this novel. However, I find it somehow too wordy, over descriptive and slow. Judith Hutter is a beautiful, strong-welled character who possesses several admirable traits, like intelligence, bravery and a loving devotion to her sister. On the other hand, In Natty Bumppo, represents the American hero: selfless, dependable, restrained, tolerant, and moral, but he had an outstanding flaw; his inability to deal successfully with women, which I consider as a major flaw.

Anyone remember the movie speed with Keeianna Reeves ( otherwise known for his award wining role in bill and teds big adventure), how you kept thinking the movie was over, but it wasn't. That was deer slayer for me. Actually I thought it would make a good movie, especially since I did enjoy Last of the Mohicans (the movie) so much. Not a lot of depth, just adventure, but often entertaining.

This is an oldie but a goodie. There is not much to be said about that hasn't already been said many times over this book's very long life. Modern readers may find it's writing to be old fashioned and wordy. Chat's because it is. If anyone hasn't read it yet, might want to think about it.

Great book. This is the book written before Last of the Mohicans. I really enjoyed listening to the book tape. It was written in 1841 so the language and expressions are unique and add greatly to the experience of reading such a text.

"We live in a world of transgressions and selfishness, and no pictures that represent us otherwise can be true; though happily for human nature, gleamings of that pure spirit in whose likeness man has been fashioned, are to be seen, relieving its deformities, and mitigating, if not excusing its crimes."
"On the human imagination events produce the effects of time. Thus he who has travelled far and seen much is apt to fancy that he has lived long; and the history that most abounds in important incidents soonest assumes the aspect of antiquity. In no other way can we account for the venerable air that is already gathering around American annals. When the mind reverts to the earliest days of colonial history, the period seems remote and obscure, the thousand changes that thicken along the links of recollections, throwing back the origin of the nation to a day so distant as seemingly to reach the mists of time; and yet four lives of ordinary duration would suffice to transmit, from mouth to mouth, in the form of tradition, all that civilized man has achieved within the limits of the republic.....Thus, what seems venerable by an accumulation of changes is reduced to familiarity when we come seriously to consider it solely in connection with time."More quotes…

In the game of basketball, there's a commonly used strategy called the 2-for-1. For those of you unfamiliar with the rules of the game, let me explain. Each team has 24 seconds per possession to shoot the ball before a shot clock violation is called. Toward the end of each quarter, when there's roughly 40 seconds left on the clock, the team with the ball (Team A) has one of two choices on how to play out the remaining time. They can use their fully allotted 24 seconds to play for one quality possession, which leaves their opponents (Team B) 16 seconds remaining on the clock and the last possession before time expires.
Or they can choose to play the 2-for-1.
In the 2-for-1 situation, Team A will race down the court and try to put up a shot within 10 seconds. This means that Team B can use up all 24 seconds on the ensuing possession, but will still be forced to leave 6 seconds on the clock for Team A to have the last shot – a second possession in that 40-second span.
Statistics have proven that getting a second possession, even at a reduced quality, consistently results in a higher score than your opponent in those 40 seconds. But it takes understanding, practice, and commitment to make it work.
So why am I talking about this to a marketing audience?
Because whether you're preparing for your next pitch, next campaign, or next product release, we can all learn some important lessons about playing for successful outcomes from the basketball 2-for-1.
Lesson 1: Accepting failure as a likely outcome.
In our industry, too often we operate under the unrealistic goal of being successful 100 percent of the time. We put too much hope in the success of one campaign to solve all of our problems. In reality, we can't win them all.
As we continually go all-in on "the next big project" we exhaust our creativity and our productivity, and ultimately skew our measure of success.
The average success rate of a shot attempt in basketball is anywhere from 41 to 48 percent. And that's assuming a quality possession. The philosophy of the 2-for-1 says that two shots at reduced success rate of 25 percent still nets out to a higher outcome when you have two possessions compared to one.
Bottom line, it's OK to fail 75 percent of the time, when you're giving yourself enough chances.
Lesson 2: Practice prepares you for statistical success.
Some of you may already be thinking that this is the classic quantity versus quality argument. And for anyone who's been under the gun to deliver multiple pitches or launch multiple campaigns, you're probably thinking I'm crazy for telling you to do more. Trust me, I've been there and that's not what I'm implying.
The 2-for-1 in basketball is only successful if you execute it well. In essence, you have to practice how to take a bad shot and ensure that it's still above the 25 percent hit rate. If you shoot 15 percent for two possessions straight, you're still shooting a lower percentage than you would have if you had just focused on one good shot at 41 to 48 percent.
Practice and preparation enables you to think quickly, commit to spreading your bets in time-pressured situations, and deliver a level of quality that's above a 25 percent success rate. At work, you can do this by creating process efficiencies for these situations – whether it be a reusable research database, standardized credentials for proposals, or a set process of owners and approvals that gets your work out the door faster without significant loss on quality.
Lesson 3: Commitment to changing your instincts.
Knowing the statistical theory and practicing for situations still doesn't replace execution. When thrown into time-pressured situations, we tend to fall back on our bad tendencies. We operate on instincts that are paralyzed by the fear of short-term outcomes. Negative thoughts of imperfection or damaging brand integrity creep back into our minds.
Remember that teams that execute the 2-for-1 successfully in basketball do it instinctually. They know that rushing to take a bad shot in 10 seconds (to get a second possession) is still a better outcome than only having one possession. They're committed to this belief and have freed themselves from the fear of failure.
The same should apply for marketers. We have to commit to the strategy that gives us the best long-term outcomes. Anyone who's written copy for an ad or posted content on a branded fan page knows that we live in a world of test and learn. No brand has a perfect history, but many successful brands have tried different approaches and improved upon many of their mistakes.
Think of it this way. We rarely remember the team that missed the shot with 30 seconds left in the third quarter. But we do remember the team that won the game.

We found that projects where more than half the team members had received secure coding training, the number of vulnerabilities plummeted by 73 percent. That result is far superior to anything penetration testing programs or automated tools could hope to achieve.
Your point about each organization having it's own strengths and weaknesses is also somewhat of surprise.
So let me through this out to the communiity? What's holding you back from expanding your developer application security training? Let's talk more in the comments.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?

39 reviews | 4.2 out of 5
I needed a water jug for my hunting cabin that would fit under the sink and not take up a lot of space. This jug is just what I needed. There is a 12 volt water pump that draws the water from the jugs and pressurizes the faucet.
I bought three of this item last Winter for an emergency water supply at home. I know that's not nearly enough water, but I figured it was a gooe start. I filled them up at New Year's. I expected to change the water after six months, but time got away from me. So now in the 10th month I went to change the water. They didn't leak up to now, but when I started to empty them and change the water I noticed one of them was leaking at a stress point around a fake plastic X on the side of the jug. This X is not a reinforcing mechanism. It doesn't do anything except create stress points for hairline cracks. Water is very heavy and this is a poorly designed product. When I refilled another jug, it started to leak at a similar point. So two out of three of my jugs leak from the side of the jug after only 10 months of storage in my garage. Thus, if I could rate this product a zero or no stars, I would. I guess you get what you pay for and at $10, this was the cheapest product in its class.
I was looking for water containers that I could use to fill the tanks on my tent trailer when we don't have access to hook ups. Found a RELIANCE Desert Patrol 6-Gal jug on Amazon with a 5 star rating for $19.99. It rated well for exactly the use I had in mind, problem was I didn't think it could be delivered in time for our next outing. Later in the day I found this Ozark Trail one that looked the same, but I still was unsure about the quality. Sure it was half the price but with no reviews that made me cautious. I went ahead and ordered on the website for in-store pick up at my local store and to my amazement it is made by Reliance. The exact same jug I almost paid twice the cost for through Amazon. By the way, it works GREAT. Can't believe what a bargain this was. Thanks Wal-Mart!
the product works as advertised
Good capacity water carrier for carrying 6 gallons to other locations away from our
house. Excellent for water emergencies storage.
I bought these water containers to go camping with my grandson . We were at a primative sight with no water . The water jugs are easy to fill and stand by themselves very well . We adapted a faucet valve on one and it was just great . I would definately recommend these containers to others , thanks Walmart for a great product with a great price .
We bought these for our pop-up trailer and they were much easier to add water to the tank then the other water bags we were using.I would reommend them to anyone that has a pop-up rv.
Perfect for camping! Easy to fill, use and store! I bought a spare one because they are hard to find. Wish our supercenter carried them!
There isn't much one can say about something this simple other than it does its job, and does it well. It is just a plastic container for holding water. Which it does nicely. And it holds 6 gallons, which is a nice big quantity, so be aware it will weigh 50 pounds when full.
I used to take 6 1gal. jugs with me when camping, now, 1 OZARK TRAIL DESERT PATROL 6 gal. goes with me. Easier to transport, won't puncture so easy, takes up less space. Word to the wise, 6 gal. of water weighs ALOT! So, If you think 5 gal. of gas is heavy, you might want to keep using 1gal. jugs. Why cause injury to yourself.
Air vent could be larger for better flow of water.
I purchased this to use as a water source for camping or survival if needed. Basically the same as what Cabelas offers but at half the price. Store pick up saved me shipping cost. Was at the store in 1 day. Can't ask for more then that.
Pretty nice product for the price. We bought two, but managed to only go through one on our 4 day camping trip. It was great to fill dog water bowls and rinse dishes and hands. I was hoping it would be a bit more sturdy (similar to Army water Jugs), but it was thinner and got crushed a bit during transit. However, it was nothing major and popped right back out! Again, the quality was very good for the price.
Super sturdy. Tall & thin profile, too - much easier to pack & transport.
I bought a couple of these to start keeping water in case of an emergency. They aren't too heavy when filled; they're manageable. So far, they're holding up really well. Waiting on the local store to stock back up so I can get me a few more. Wish Wal-Mart carried the stackable 5gal type, but, for the price, these will do great for my purposes.
it needs a spigot . the company needs to start to redesign it?
The sprout is useless as the water can is way too heavy to be lifted up to pour when fully filled, especially when there is no good place to hold and tilt it. The gasket on the lid is way flimsy and won't work without the sprout inverted into the can. The air breathing hold is sealed with a simple plug that fits poorly, and when the can is filled to capacity, water leaks from it. I bought 4 of these to prepare for blackouts; they all have the same problem.
I suffered filling our RV tank with this stupid jug for years. The cap doesn't seal so it leaks, and the spout attachment is very flimsy, so the spout invariably pops out and falls in the dirt whenever you use the jug to fill a tank even if you are careful. Did I mention that the air relief plug pops loose and falls out? (In the dirt, of course). If you loosen it to relieve the vacuum in the jug prior to filling your RV tank, the air rushing in through the hole sucks the cap back in. This is about the only time when the stupid cap seals tightly - when you want it open. If you're alone and yield to temptation and reach out with one hand to try and pull the stupid air relief plug out while dumping the jug you will certainly either drop the plug in the dirt, or the spout will pop free, and go..in...the....dirt. The last time I used ours the the spout popped free of the jug and I dropped the whole works spout first. This impact sheared the flimsy plastic all around the spout threads. At first I swore, but then I realized that I was going to have to finally replace this awful jug and for SURE I would not be buying this model AGAIN. This time I'm going to pay extra for the Scepter 5-Gallon Water Can, even though it costs more, it can't be worse. Buy this jug because you like dirt with your potable water.
Cheaper to buy and fill with tap water than buying gallons of water. Perfect for hauling water
to clean rentals instead of having water service turned on. Perfect for home when water is
temporarily turned off. Perfect for Doomsday Preppers!!! Shape of jug is conducive to storing
in smaller area.
It's very good for the price. Made in Canada by Reliance. The plastic material seems a little thin. I use it as my emergency water supply, so it only gets emptied and refilled every 6 months. We'll see how well it holds up after a few refills.

Product Description
This SMC single-acting CJP Series pin cylinder has a compact brass body with an unthreaded stainless-steel piston rod, and it has panel mounting for installation through walls or panels. The air cylinder (also called a pneumatic cylinder) has a pin-style compact body and a single unthreaded piston rod for linear movement applications with tight space restrictions. The air cylinder's body is crafted in nickel-plated brass for higher corrosion resistance than regular brass, and its piston rod is made of stainless steel to resist corrosion and scaling. The single-acting air cylinder uses airflow through its single air port for rod extension and an internal spring in the cylinder barrel's rod end for rod retraction to produce continued movement. It has nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) seals to contain air and protect the barrel and piston rod. This air cylinder has panel mounting and comes with both mounting and rod end nuts for installations through walls or panels. The maximum pressure of the pneumatic cylinder is 102 pounds per square inch (psi), and it has a temperature range of 14 to 158 degrees F. This non-repairable pin cylinder, with its minimal mounting space needs and short stroke length, is suitable for linear applications in compact spaces.
Pneumatic actuators fall into two classes: linear and rotary. Linear actuators move objects in straight lines, while rotary actuators turn objects, or rotate them in varying directions. Air cylinders (also called pneumatic cylinders), the most common type of linear actuators, use pressurized air to pull and push piston rods in and out of cylinder barrels. This motion moves mechanisms connected to the rods, or (for detached items) directs or blocks travel using rod-attached plates. Air cylinders execute pushing, pulling, lifting, lowering, pressing, and stopping functions, and they come in several different body types, including round, compact, tie-rod, guided, slide, and clamp. Pneumatic cylinders can be either single acting, with one compressed air port to push the rod in a single direction and a spring to return the rod, or double acting, with two compressed air ports on opposite ends of the cylinder to both extend and retract the rod. For quieter piston operation, air cylinders can come with cushioning in one or both ends of their barrels. Several mounting styles are available both for attaching the air cylinder ends to moving components in a pneumatic system and for mounting to rigid surfaces. Air cylinders are used in industrialized automation tasks in automotive, food processing, material handling, and robotics applications, among others.
SMC Corporation manufactures actuators, valves, airline equipment, connector fittings, electrical products, vacuum products, dryers, temperature control chillers, and accessories.

It has never been more important or difficult than it is today for sales people to make sure their messages are reaching their target audience. This is because potential customers are bombarded with a deluge of information everyday. They filter a growing amount of phone calls, scan endless amounts of email, and are often drowned in the constant tide of social media updates, text messages, alerts and reminders. For most salespeople, the once simple task of making sure their message is reaching the right people is now a daunting, seemingly impossible endeavor. Even with the ever-expanding options of communication and analytical tools available to sales professionals, the most well-connected sales teams have difficulty understanding what is working to engage customers and what isn't.
The underlying issue is that it's impossible to know what resonates with customers when they don't provide feedback. And that's exactly the problem sales professionals are up against today. A new generation of sales analytics tools provide a solution because they are designed to give feedback to sales professionals by illustrating what shared information is actually being consumed, by who, from where and when. In short, sales analytics help figure out what works and what doesn't when it comes to engaging with potential customers.
Useful sales analytics are garnered from algorithms that track access to sales materials, interactions with those materials and even re-sharing of materials. This new technology shines a light on an otherwise blind part of the sales process. When sales professionals can access this type of information, it gives them the feedback they long for and the answers to their biggest questions:
- What information is being looked at?
- Who is looking at the information?
- Where are prospects looking at information?
- When are prospects viewing information?
Answers to the above questions help sales professionals gain invaluable insight as to which sales materials are most helpful at each phase of the sales cycle. With today's sales analytics technology, it's possible to know when a prospect viewed information, what they viewed and if they shared it with anyone else. This equips sales professionals with the data they need to pursue stage appropriate follow-up with prospects immediately after they view sales materials.
Sales analytics also help sales leaders understand how their sales teams are engaging prospects and customers throughout the sales process. According to a recent survey conducted by Forrester Research, sales leaders have poor visibility into where and how their reps and partners sell, with only six percent reporting they were very confident they had accurate visibility into their team's sales process. Over half of sales leaders surveyed reported that they were either "somewhat" or "very" unconfident in the visibility of their sales team's activity. Sales analytics make it possible to stay in the loop on sales team activity from lead follow-up all the way through to close. It's a win-win situation for all sales team members.
Sales analytics are created by a new generation of sales engagement platforms. A sales engagement platform is a selling tool for direct and channels sales professionals that focuses on creating, measuring and analyzing online engagement between sales professionals and customers or prospects. Incorporating a sales engagement solution is the first step towards a more highly integrated sales division that can eventually lead to predictive sales forecasts and insightful employee training.
In today's sales ecosystem, barriers or "silos" form within organizational departments, most typically between the marketing and sales teams. These silos prevent effective communication between the departments causing inefficiency and departmental isolation within companies. Sales engagement solutions contribute to interdepartmental collaboration through the use of communication tools, workspaces, shared materials and shared data. If the marketing team has found success through one tactic, that helpful information is shared directly to the sales team through the engagement platform. In this way, company-wide analytics show what's really working to engage customers and prospects, taking the unnecessary guesswork out of the equation and leading to a more efficient sales process.
Some useful sales engagement platforms are:
When using sales engagement analytics, teams have the ability to see which people and materials are getting the best results with prospects. With this information, organizations can analyze buyer behavior and optimize their sales processes. Sales analytics eliminate the blind spots between sales leads and the close of a sale enabling sales teams to take the feedback they've received from the engagement analytics and adjust their tactics accordingly. This process of tweaking the sales process based on feedback from analytics leads to a more efficient sales cycle and increases the bottom line.

There's a lot of things we do to improve the performance of web and mobile applications. We use caching. We use compression. We offload security (SSL and TLS) to a proxy with greater compute capacity. We apply image optimization and minification to content. We do all that because performance is king. Failure to perform can be, for many businesses, equivalent to an outage with increased abandonment rates and angry customers taking to the Internet to express their extreme displeasure.

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development". These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Yet in the book, Newman clearly includes some elements of concept model and architecture as well as p...

Skip to comments.Watch the Most Important Speech Given This Century Given Last Night By Benjamin Netanyahu
Posted on 03/06/2012 9:33:33 AM PST by ScythianEdited on 03/06/2012 9:47:34 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
The full 36 minutes are here, oh man I wish he were our leader, a mans man, and he basically said, Iran, we're going to kick the @#$# out you very soon, it was awesome and he used very good logic during the speech.
Add to this Gingrich saying that Israel should not reveal its intentions to the US.
Interesting times.
I'll say it again: "Obama will not finish his term."
The two pictures of Netanyahu (in uniform), and cool Zero (sitting with his cigerette.), would be perfect in this thread.
Speaking of which, a Churchill question: During the pre-talk statements from the Offal Office, under the portrait of Washington was a table with a black bust of someone. Who is the bust, given that the Churchill bust was discarded by the occupier. Che? Marx?
transcript available anywhere?
My friend, I watched the entire speech last night, and was thinking the same thoughts as you, "if only Bibi Netanyahu were the POTUS instead of "traitor" Barack Hussein Obama.". The speech was magnificent, thoughtful, realistic, patriotic, worthy of a leader of a great nation!!! Obama's speech, given earlier rates a full blown "F"!!! Obama hates Israel, Jews and America, Americans, too!!!
I hope Bibi is not believing anything Obama says..The reason for the turn around with Obama is he knows the people of this country hates his guts and hates the way he treated our brother Bibi..Remember an election and he wants back in his private jet so he can continue his vacation..
Yep - If I were a Bumper-sticker kind-of-guy, I'd have one that says "Vote Bibi."
Realistically, Israel may already be the Leader of the Free World.
he does put one in mind of David, Solomon, and the great Israeli Kings of the Old Testament
May your God be with you, Bibi.
During the pre-talk statements from the Offal Office, under the portrait of Washington was a table with a black bust of someone. Who is the bust, given that the Churchill bust was discarded by the occupier. Che? Marx?
Sandra Fluke?
I think I remember hearing Greta say that she was interviewing him on tonite's show.
Wasn't he born in Hawaii? If so, we should get his Colb from Chicago and run him for Senator.
Bibi's a man's man and we wind up with a girly man in the White House. Ugh!!!
Great speech. Wish we had someone who could equal it.
On a different note though, I kept looking at the dude behind Bibi. THAT was a serious player! His eyes kept playing back and forth across the audience - a real trick when you consider he had no neck. It's a real shame that good people need men like him. Still, I'm glad men like him are around.
The letters were a horror. I'm stunned - knowing what we know now - that we could have bombed Auschwitz - and declined. Is that how we'll feel years from now - with Iran doing nuclear blackmail around the world? And millions dead?
saw that and that bust was put there on purpose.
We have little kids in thew white house who get their little jollies off at such little things.
Not one MSM outlet has asked why he sent that Churchhill bust back yet and if bozo the clown comes to my area I'll be trying very hard to get in his rally and ask him that along with mentioning on TV that the MSM has covered for you many times but people are waking up.
sadly slowly though
But one thing was similar in that period and today: terror attacks against Israeli Jews. Netanyahu went by the name of Benjamin Nitay at the time. His brother, Yonatan was an Israeli commando who led the Entebbe raid on July 4, 1976 during which he died. Netanyahu chose to use the name Nitay at MIT in large part for security reasons due to his brother's notoriety and the spate of Palestinian terror attacks aimed at Israelis all over the world.
These lectures, debates offered at MIT were electric! I was privileged to have attended many of them. Go Bibi!
Bibi believes nothing Obama says! He merely speaks as if he believes him to focus awareness on what Obama has said and make it more obvious how worthless Obama's word is if (or should I say when?) Obama fails to back up his words.
It is sad to say but as things now stand, no American can be the "Leader of the Free World" unless and until we rejoin the free world, the USA is NOT a free country now, not even close to it.
If this doesn't get your blood boiling, nothing will....Husssein declaring his solemn allegiance to Islam.[There's short silence in this tape...hang on, it'll go on]
Well, heres another way President Obama has put his historic stamp on the presidency. With no fanfare or media attention, President Obama last month added a new decoration to the Oval Office: a 12 5/8" bronze bust of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. The work, titled "Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)," is by celebrated African-American sculptor Charles Alston the first African-American instructor at the Art Students League who died in 1977. Created in 1970, it was acquired by the Smithsonian Institutions National Portrait Gallery in 1974. When the Smithsonian lent the bust to the President Bill Clintons White House in 2000 to be displayed in the White House Library, that marked, believe it or not, the very first time that the image of an African-American was displayed in a public space in the White House. Pretty astounding, when you think about it, given the busts current place of honor. The King bust sits near the fireplace and adjacent a bust of President Abraham Lincoln, with the two legendary Americans facing President Obama when he sits at the HMS Resolute Desk. The Lincoln bust sits where a bust of Sir Winston Churchill on loan from the British Embassy after the 9/11 attacks, and returned before Mr. Obamas inauguration once sat. jpt
bump for later.
bump for later
His bodyguards look like they could kill someone 500 different ways...
I think he almost guaranteed an attack on Iran through the last 10 minutes of his speech. And I think he will be right to do so.
I watched it last night and marveled at this guy. Too bad we do not have someone of that quality to lead us.
mark for later
I cried as he spoke. G-d should help him.
Such courage.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
thank you!
"The black guy didn't look Mossad."
Nah, there are plenty of "black" Jewish folk in Israel. Some from Ethiopia (where Moshe found 2 brides, remember), but lots and lots of Mizarahim from various arab countries are black.

With the development by Dr. Coolidge of the self-rectifying roentgen-ray tube and the portable transformer, and the subsequent production of large numbers of these completed units, a long felt want has been realized.
Designed especially as a portable unit for bedside use in hospitals, they are nevertheless capable of handling a large part of the work that comes to the general practitioner. This fact, together with the low cost, ease of installation, and simplicity of operation, will mean that many of these units will soon be in the hands of the profession.
There is, however, one very important feature which until now the designers have apparently overlooked, and that is a means for shifting the tube for stereoscopic plates. The man accustomed to stereoscopy will feel this loss keenly, and the physician who has not yet learned to use stereoscopic roentgenography in his roentgenographic examinations should know that the difference
