In these pages you will find inspiring, true stories of people who didn't have hope?until they had a home. Stories of children who gained identity and confidence for their future. Of families made stronger and healthier and prison inmates who are now giving back to their communities. Of entire communities bonding together around an ethic of hard work and mutual respect. Of denominational, political, and racial barriers falling with every swing of the hammer. Of a growing host of young people engaged in the quest to end poverty housing. And even some wonderful love stories. The end result is nothing less than the transformation of lives, communities, and families?one person, one home at a time.

Product Description
"The most significant UK author of sword and sorcery, a form he has both borrowed from and transformed."—Encyclopedia of Fantasy
"If you are familiar with Elric, I trust you will enjoy revisiting him in this present form. If you are new to him, I hope you find him good, if rather dangerous, company."—Michael Moorcock

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
"Elric: In the Dream Realms" is the fifth volume of Del Ray's series focusing on Moorock's most popular character--the albino antihero Elric. There are two major works included here--"The Fortress of the Pearl" and the script for the "Elric: The Making of a Sorcerer" graphic novel.
While "The Fortress of the Pearl" is in the heroic fantasy genre, it seems, much like the Von Bek series, to be a transitional work as Moorcock drifted from fantasy and sci-fi to his current literary works. As such, the book contains an excellent plot revealed by some of Moorcock's best writing.
Unlike some of the other books in the Elric series, "The Fortress of the Pearl" is a full novel, not a collection of short stories thrown together as a book. This does not pose a problem for Moorcock who is able to balance the story while offering great depth to some of his usual archtypes (the Eternal Champion, the Companion, etc). The story takes place between the first and second books of the Elric saga and Moorcock still seems to find new facets of his flagship character to explore and reveal. It's also one of the funnier and more through provoking books in the Elric series and, unlike some of his earlier works, Moorcock provides an excellent supporting cast to his main character. Any Moorcock fan and most lovers of heroic fantasy will enjoy "The Fortress of the Pearl" though those readers who are familiar with the other Elric books may take more out of it than others.
"The Making of a Sorcerer" is not as strong but it is still a solid piece. It is a prologue to other works--Elric is not yet emperor when the story takes place. While Moorcock fleshes out the history of Elric's people and their magic, this does not rank as one of the better Elric stories.
The other works included here are superb. Neil Gaiman offers an interesting short story on how Michael Moorcock and his works influenced his childhood. The third part of Moorcock's seminal essay "Aspects of Fantasy" is republished here. There is also an excellent short story on Elric's experience with a sculptor that reveals the albino's character and notes from a series that Moorcock never launched that was to have taken place.
Readers of fantasy will enjoy this book and fans of Moorock--and Elric in particular--will find it indispensable.
The novel above is half of Elric In the Dream Realms and it is one of his greatest early tales and makes the book worth reading. The short story "A Portrait in Ivory" is terrific also as the albino hero is confronted by his worst enemy, the mirror reminding him he should be known as Elric Kinslayer filled with remorse for Cymoril more so than Imrryr. The other entries like "Elric: The Making of a Graphic Novel", the essay "Aspects of Fantasy", and the background material of "Earl Aubec of Malodor", etc. target die hard fans of Michael Moorcock only. Overall the fifth Chronicles of the last Emperor of Melnibone is an engaging look at Elric In The Dream realms.

Web marketers lack both the confidence and analytics to properly assess results, according to a study from WebTrends.
Confidence in marketing efforts varied among those surveyed. Only five percent of marketers were very confident in the measurement of their current online marketing efforts. Just over a quarter (26 percent) admitted they were flying blind, while the same percentage (26 percent) was moderately confident. Forty-three percent indicated they were fairly confident with their efforts.
WebTrends asserts the low confidence comes from a lack of knowledge when it comes to measurement. Only one in five respondents indicated they have a complete handle on their conversion, marketing ROI, and revenue metrics. Twenty-three percent reported they don't currently have any metrics, and 29 percent rely on clickthrough rates alone.
|Click on graphic to view chart
The study also finds 39 percent have no idea what method of user identification they use for their online marketing efforts. True first-party cookies were reported by 19 percent, while vendor-supplied first party cookies were used by eight percent of those surveyed. Identification by IP address was reported by 13 percent, and 10 percent went a half-step further by identifying users based on IP and agent. Ten percent reported using third party cookies.
|Click on graphic to view chart
Third party cookies are increasingly rejected by Web users. WebTrends reported in a quarterly update on cookie rejection that in June 2005 the overall rejection rate for third party cookies was 13.2 percent, a 5.2 percent increase over April. JupiterResearch reported 28 percent of users in its own study claim they have rejected third party cookies selectively.
Most Web marketers (76 percent) know where users enter their Web sites, a point that WebTrends calls inflow, and nearly half (48 percent) know the point at which their site is abandoned. Forty-five percent were aware of their site's fall out point, a term that describes users not moving from one step to the next within the conversion scenario.
The detours users take within a site after leaving a conversion scenario were only known by 20 percent of respondents, and only fourteen percent were aware of the non-linear paths a site visitor takes during a conversion scenario (what WebTrends calls step jumping).
WebTrends collected the data for the survey between May 23 and June 3, 2005 as an element of a free webcast.

Try Jonathan's 'Spookily Accurate' forecasts for yourself and see!
Daily updates Mon-Fri, Weekly and Monthly on Weekends.
Underrated? Only +50k DLs... I personally like this guy. Its not very direct unlike most horoscopes do, but what Cain says about each sign daily are relative information of what's going on in this world that are maybe the possibilities of what each sign maybe going thru too... Just an indirect perspective with an advertisement sentence at the end which I stop reading further haha ,wish Cain wouldn't do that and just extend/continue the free stuff anyway..
App missing forecasts This app only shows daily forecast. You have no access to weekly or monthly. App needs to be upgraded so that you can view everything that the website itself offers. I have no trouble with my iPhone but here on my tablet I only get like I said the daily forecast -disappointing.
Too much Advertising I have had this app for many years. I think the messages are great however the self-promotion has taken over half the daily readings. I remember when it use to be one simple sentence at the end, now its a whole paragraph. Make a separate tab for your services, keep it out of the daily readings. Please try to cut back on that, its becoming monotonous.
Always uplifting and accurate I've used this app for years now, and have never been disappointed with a forecast. Life can be so unpredictable and disappointing, but every now and then, you realize that all bad things happen for a reason; Jonathan always helps you to see that. Thank you a thousand times.
Jonathan Cainer app bug I like the content but the share forecast option is messed up. It used to work fine but now the app icons are huge and the list is missing Gmail.

Cold Feet didn't disappoint in its second episode, leaving fans just as warm and fuzzy as last week's series opener did.
The plot was strong, the laughs were there. And emotions were flowing over as Pete's mental health issues took centre stage.
There was just one tiny problem.
Manchester the UK's second city? Many Twitter fans don't think so.
There was a reference to it being the main city behind London in the latest instalment and plenty of viewers do not agree.
Many Birmingham residents in particular have been tweeting that they are unimpressed.

Poorly Armed Mali Army Can't Stand Up to Rebels
Last Week's Diabaly Invasion Saw Mali Troops Fleeing Before Battle Even Began
The loss of the town of Diabaly was a major blow to morale, coming after the French invasion that was supposed to ensure the victory of the southern Malian junta. For people in Diabaly, the way the loss happened really doesn't inspire confidence.
"We were surprised to learn that our soldiers ran away," noted one local. Indeed, when explosions ushered in the rebel invasion of the southern town, the junta forces beat a hasty retreat, and they only came back after French troops ousted the rebels.
Mali's military, like many in the region, relies mostly on Western hand-me-downs, and the troops returned to their Diabaly camp to find it looted of what little of value was there. Not weapons, of course, because the rebels have much better arms looted from the NATO regime change in Libya.
The French military's vision of African troops doing most of the heavy lifting in the war will mean a scramble to get the junta geared up for the challenge, but with summary executions and torture seemingly a way of life for the military's leadership, making them even more powerful seems like it will cause more problems than it solves.

Monthly GDP rose 0.1% in August on the heels of a large, 0.6% increase in July. The August increase reflected increases in nonfarm inventory investment and net exports that were nearly offset by a decline in domestic final sales. Averaged over July and August, monthly GDP was 2.3% above the second-quarter average at an annual rate. Implicit in our latest estimate of 2.6% GDP growth in the third quarter is a 0.2% increase (not annualized) in monthly GDP in September, which is led by an assumed 0.3% increase in real PCE.

MA and CNBC Bring Attention to Presidential Poll Numbers and the Stock Market
"Macroeconomic Advisers set out to study the correlation between stock prices and which candidate was leading in the polls. It used as its benchmark Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight tracking, which runs election simulations based on polls and economic conditions. The firm then translated those terms into the trend of the equity risk premium, or the extra return on stocks that investors demand over a low-risk investment like bonds," wrote Jeff Cox, CNBC finance editor.

Love space saving in the kitchen!
This is a great space saver. Just collapse it and store it away when not in use. Fits perfectly in the sink and is deep enough to hold the plates upright. The only downside is that I thought it came with a cutlery holder too, from the picture it looked like it, however there isn't one included.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this dish drain.
It is very sturdy and can be collapsed where it can be put out of sight. It's a little difficult and too much trouble to collapse so I just leave it in my sink all the time.
I had a chrome one but it rusted. I think this one will last longer than the chrome one did.
I live by myself and don't dirty up a lot of dishes, so it is perfect for my household.
All and all I really like this product.
I love how this folds up. An answer for the other reviewer who said there was not a cutlery drainer-yes, it is stuck to the inside of the box. You probably threw it away because it was hard to see. It is clear and folded. i use this everyday. I fold it up and put it away. You just have to push it down onto the sink divider and it folds easily. Love, love,love!
Love this little fish drainer it was exactly what I was looking for space saving and functional
I saw this at a local kitchen specialty shop and immediately wanted it but WM sold it for less.
It works great and easily goes in the dish washer. The silverware section is divided by a removable piece of plastic which is nice but can be a little tricky to put together.
I DEFINITELY recommend this product for everyone who can't stand how dirty the silverware section of your drain gets.
Pros: Adjusts to fit about any sink, looks nice, easy to clean
Cons: Way too shallow to be very functional
I purchased this hoping to replace my existing drying rack, as it is impossible to get clean anymore. However, this one is so shallow and designed to hang on the sides of your sink, so you can't really use it for full size plates or pots and pans (my other one sits in the bottom of the sink so the sides of the sink help keep items in place). I'm not only using it when my regular sized one is in the dishwasher and I need something in the interim. I can't find one to fit in my sink to save my life so this will have to do.
It fits our sink and it won't rust unlike the previous one I had. My sister is going to get one too.
I bought this to go in my camper. Takes up very little space!
Quality seems good so far. I have already washed it in the dishwasher, it did well. It fits right in a average size sink which is a sink usually on the small side, it does expand to fit a larger sink. To my surprise kitchenware dries quicker in this product then a counter dish drainer, guessing it changes the air flow under items, it's a good thing. It flattens down for easier storage. It has served my purpose well for the items I can't put in a dishwasher. So far no stains or funky smells from rubber, which was a big concern for me, but I just make sure it's air dried completely before storing. Thumbs up so far ;)
I was tired of trying to do dishes and getting the counter all wet. So when I can't put my breakables in the dishwasher I have to wash them by hand. Adjusts very easy to fit my sink. Seems sturdy (I fill with alot of glass) and holds well. I love it. No more watery counter. Drains from the bottom of it pretty well. Easy to clean (if needed). I have not put into dishwasher yet. folds for easy storage. I usually tilt to make sure all the water is out when it's empty and fold it down. Sometimes I just put it behind my sink spigot to air dry more if needed. The price is very reasonable. I checked other places and products. Hope this works out for others as it has for me. I love it and so much better than the counter ones. They always leave a ton of water on my counter. Those counter ones also seem to get moldy fast.
When it arrived one of the small tabs that holds the kitchenware rack in place was broken. Too small of a problem to return it. I have a double sink and it adjusted perfectly. A little on the small size especially if you use the kitchenware section. We don't use it so the size works for us. It takes a bit getting used to losing 1 sink. All the other racks I have had were on the counter types. Well I guess the trade off is that I have more counter space lol. Can't beat the price on this.
I wasn't too sure when I purchased this product that it would meet my expectations. I have never seen this product before in a store. It's a great product and it's adjustable to expand to a large sink and it can be closed and stored away when not in use. I find it dries the dishes and silverware quickly. It hangs on the sink and does not touch the bottom to soak in any water that drains. It's not a large sink drain, but it's perfect for a small family. I really love it and doubt if I will ever buy the rubbermaid drains that I purchased in the past. Thank you Walmart for providing this product.
Had been looking for something to use as a dish drainer that looked nice, would not rust in my sink and could 'put away' so it wasn't always on the counter or in the sink. This fits the bill to a 'T'. Love that it fits over my sink and not down in it, love that it has a silverware holder and adore the fact that I can fold it down and put it in the dishwasher!! Then put it in the cabinet till I need it again. Awesome!!! This is exactly what I wanted, had looked for and needed. Very happy indeed. This is made well and very durable.
We have very limited counter space in our kitchen so when we hand wash a few items (overflow from dishwasher or while dishwasher is running), we would drain the dishes on a dishtowel on the counter. I love the way it collapses and stores very easily (which you can also clean in dishwasher). Looks sharp as well when in use! It is ashame that the stores do not actually carry this item but worth ordering online to purchase
I could not find a small dish drainer to fit into my new stainless steel kitchen sink. The sink was too small to accommodate the drainers found in at all major retailers. A friend suggested that I look for a dish drainer used in RVs. I did, and found and ordered the Progressive International Drainer on line (ordered on line for delivery to my local Walmart). The drainer fits perfect and arrived for pickup on time.
This collapsible dish drain was purchased as a future replacement for a much earlier version which we have used for over 7 years. We were afraid that this particular style would be discontinued and no longer available.
After some research on the internet, we found that WAL-MART offered the best price and easiest delivery/pickup.
We would recommend this product to anyone.
It fits right over my sink with ease. It expands further in case you have a wider sink. The only thing is it DOES NOT come with the silverware compartment. The picture is misrepresenting. It collapses with ease. It does not store as many dishes, pots or pans as one would think. I have a harder time drying larger pans on this drainer.
Love that this thing is collapsible! It is made of a good quality material which makes me think I'll be using this for years to come. At 1st I didn't think there would be much room for dishes, but the design is such that it will fit maybe 6-7 plates, a couple of bowls and lots of silverware. Great product!
I bought this since I don't have a lot of room in my kitchen. It is durable and does not take up much space, which I love. It is over the sink, so my sink is not getting dirty as it used to before I bought this product. Also, it collapses and that really works for me since I don't have much space.

Which Joe gave his name to 'sloppy joes'? We look at five interesting sandwiches and their lexical origins.
1A knobbly edible tuber with white flesh, eaten as a vegetable.
- 'Those searching for ingredients for home-made soups might like to pick up some knobbly Jerusalem artichokes.'
- 'Cook until Jerusalem artichokes are soft when pricked with a knife, about 10 minutes.'
- 'Like most edible crops, beans should always be rotated, the exceptions being tomatoes, asparagus and Jerusalem artichokes.'
- 'They are starting with sautéed fresh foie gras, with a Jerusalem artichoke purée served with Chateau Guiraud, Sauternes 1996.'
- 'Pumpkin soup was next, fit for Cinderella, with lardons and crispy shavings of Jerusalem artichoke.'
- 'Its accompanying fricassee of button onions and Jerusalem artichokes was rich and gutsy too.'
- 'The Jerusalem artichokes are covered with a white fuzz.'
- 'I also grow a successful variety of vegetables including Jerusalem artichokes, courgettes, beans and pumpkins.'
- 'It comes as no real surprise, however, that onions are the most popular vegetables, and Jerusalem artichokes the least popular.'
- 'Oligosaccharides are present in vegetables such as Jerusalem artichokes, burdock, chicory, leeks, onions, and asparagus, and of course beans.'
- 'The roasted brill with Jerusalem artichokes, mustard and baby potato gratin with mushroom duxelle sounded particularly good.'
- 'The potential of ethanol to break dormancy in tubers was demonstrated for Jerusalem artichoke.'
- 'And what would you call soup made from Jerusalem artichokes?'
- 'I share such items as asparagus, sweetcorn, and Jerusalem artichoke with friendly neighbours, at no expense, in due season.'
2The tall North American plant, closely related to the sunflower, which produces this tuber.
- 'Down by the water grew harakeke, and my grandfather planted Jerusalem artichokes in the sandy soil.'
- 'For control or suppression of Jerusalem artichoke, apply when plants are 6 to 10 inches tall.'
- 'Liberty plus atrazine will control or suppress some perennial weeds, including dandelion, Canada thistle, Jerusalem artichoke, and wirestem muhly.'
- 'In fact, every crop in North America other than the blueberry, Jerusalem artichoke, sunflower and squash has its origins elsewhere.'
- 'Prebiotics can be found in plants like Jerusalem artichokes, tomatoes, bananas, garlic, barley and wheat.'
- 'To provide a summer screen for dustbins, or simply to increase the height of a low fence, plant Jerusalem artichokes.'
- 'When sunflower was crossed with Jerusalem artichoke, F 1 hybrid plants carried 51 chromosomes and showed reduced pollen fertility.'
- 'As soon as the soil can be worked, plant bare-root asparagus, horseradish, Jerusalem artichokes, and rhubarb.'
Early 17th century: Jerusalem, alteration of Italian girasole sunflower.

Editorial: Making some dough in the kitchen
California's occupational licensing laws are arbitrary – and, generally, unnecessary – but in a rare moment of clarity the state relaxed its licensing laws for homemade foods, which has benefitted entrepreneurs and consumers alike.
An article in the January edition of Forbes told of Mark Stambler, who made a hobby of baking French bread and, after his loaves took first place at the Los Angeles County Fair and the California State Fair, decided to turn his passion into a business. But when the Los Angeles Times did a story on his success, the health department came down the next day on the two stores that were selling his bread and effectively put him out of business.
Fortunately, Stambler's assemblyman, Mike Gatto, D-Los Angeles, reached out to him and they crafted Assembly Bill 1616, the California Homemade Food Act. It prevents local governments from banning home-based food businesses and establishes a less burdensome regulatory structure than that for restaurants and commercial food vendors. The law took effect Jan. 1, 2013.
To be sure, there are still a number of government restrictions in place. Selling homemade food containing meat, dairy or seafood is still prohibited. Sellers must pay permit fees, complete an approved food processor course and abide by labeling and basic sanitation requirements. Inspections are required if the operator is selling to third parties, such as restaurants or grocery stores. And, in one of the more unfortunate parts of the law, annual gross sales are capped at $45,000 for 2014 and $50,000 for 2015 and beyond, which excludes many more successful homemade food sellers.
Cottage food businesses have not posed any public health issues. Of the 1,200 homemade food businesses approved in the 14 months since the law went into effect, there have been no health department complaints or revoked permits, which calls into question why even these lesser regulations are needed.
The state thus should remove the sales cap and other restrictions, and let consumers decide who is worthy of their business. Or, as Institute for Justice Attorney Katelynn McBride, who is representing two home bakers fighting a restrictive cottage food law in Minnesota, put it, "If you have a recipe and an oven, you should be able to start a business."

Posted on 03/30/2006 4:46:07 AM PST by Momaw Nadon
UNITED NATIONS - The U.N. Security Council gave Iran 30 days to clear up suspicions that it is seeking nuclear weapons, and key members turned their focus on what to do if Iran refuses to suspend uranium enrichment and allow more intrusive inspections.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived in Berlin on Thursday for discussions between the five permanent council members the United States, Russia, China Britain and France plus Germany, on how much and what kind of pressure to exert on Iran if it refuses to comply.
After three weeks of intense negotiations, the 15-member Security Council approved a statement Wednesday asking the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, to report back in 30 days on Iran's compliance with demands to stop enriching uranium.
The statement, made available to The Associated Press, takes into account Russian and Chinese reservations about too much toughness, while meeting U.S., French and British calls for keeping the pressure on Tehran.
It "notes with serious concern Iran's decision to resume enrichment-related activities ... and to suspend cooperation with the IAEA under the additional protocol" an agreement allowing agency inspectors wide access on short notice to Iran's nuclear program.
The statement also calls on Iran to return to "full and sustained suspension of all enrichment-related ... activities."
Rice called the statement an "important diplomatic step" that showed the international community's concern about Iran. Before meeting with her counterparts, she was consulting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
"We are very close today to taking the first major step in the Security Council to deal with Iran's nearly 20-year-old clandestine nuclear weapons program," John Bolton, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said in New York. "It sends an unmistakable message to Iran that its efforts to deny the obvious fact of what it's doing are not going to be sufficient."
Iran remained defiant, maintaining its right to nuclear power but insisting that it had no intention of seeking weapons of mass destruction.
On Thursday, Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki condemned "unjustified propaganda" about its peaceful nuclear program. "Iran's nuclear program is peaceful and has never diverted towards prohibited activities," Mottaki told the 65-nation Conference on Disarmament in Geneva.
But, he added, Iran is willing to continue talks with the IAEA over its nuclear program.
"We are willing to continue with negotiations and also continue with our sincere and constructive cooperation with the agency," Mottaki told reporters after the conference session. "Our cooperation with the agency will continue."
Security Council members described the statement, while not legally binding, as a first step to pressure Iran to make clear its program is for peaceful purposes. It also calls on Iran to ratify the IAEA's additional protocol, which allows unannounced inspections.
The Security Council could eventually impose economic sanctions, though Russia and China say they oppose such tough measures.
The Europeans initially proposed a much stronger statement but accepted a milder one to secure the support of Russia and China. Western countries agreed to drop language that proliferation "constitutes a threat to international peace and security." Also gone is a mention that the council is specifically charged under the U.N. charter with addressing such threats.
Russia and China had opposed that language because they wanted nothing in the statement that could automatically trigger council action after 30 days.
"For the time being we have suspicions," Russia's U.N. Ambassador Andrey Denisov said. "So from that point of view, it is like a ladder. If you want to climb up, you must step on the first step, and then the second, and not try to leap."
The West has refused to rule out sanctions, and U.S. officials have said the threat of military action must also remain on the table.
Negotiations between Iran and France, Germany and Britain collapsed in August after Tehran rejected a package of incentives offered in return for a permanent end to uranium enrichment. Its moves to develop full-blown enrichment capabilities led the IAEA's board to ask for Security Council involvement.
Beyond giving formal blessings for the council statement and using it to reflect a show of unity Rice and the ministers from France, Britain, Russia, China and Germany were not likely to accomplish much at Thursday's meeting formally set to last only 90 minutes.
While the officials were expected to touch on ways to engage Iran diplomatically, major differences persist on that approach.
In a confidential letter earlier this month, Britain argued for including the other permanent Security Council members in talks with Iran. In exchange, they hoped to secure Russian and Chinese support for increasing pressure on Iran through binding council resolutions that could be enforced militarily.
A senior European official said on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to speak to the media that Britain's "proposal is not off the table." But a U.S. official, who also requested anonymity for the same reason, said Washington opposed including more countries in the negotiations.
"From the beginning, our position has been that we don't think it's helpful to have other countries joining the EU-3 in the dialogue because it has the potential of diluting the Western position on Iran," he said.
The U.S. official did not, however, rule out direct discussions between the United States and Iran, suggesting they could be a spinoff of the U.S. administration's decision earlier this month to talk to Iran about Iraq after a nearly three-decade break in diplomatic ties.
The U.S. administration has publicly emphasized those talks would not touch on the nuclear issue. But the official said that "if some understanding emerges from those discussions, then the one side or the other might say, 'Let's have some follow-up.'"
Ten years of sanctions and intermittent visits by pedophile Scott Ritter?
How come we keep going back to the first step? When is the first step really going to happen?
It took them all this time to come up with 'comply or else'.
How long will it take them to come up with a description of the "or else"?
The U.S. administration has publicly emphasized those talks would not touch on the nuclear issue. But the official said that "if some understanding emerges from those discussions, then the one side or the other might say, 'Let's have some follow-up.'"
Now indicating direct talks with Iran about their nukes might be a possibility, eh? And the game continues....ping
"You better watch it buster!"
And aiding Iran in it's ongoing coverup will be Mohammad El Baradei and his disgracefully impotent and anti-American IAEA. Mohammad, I hope you're reading this, you (and by extension Hans Blix) did a great job stopping India, Pakistan, North Korea and Libya (the US and Britain stopped Libya) from developing nukes. I'm also confident you'll stop Egypt (your birth place) and Saudi Arabia from doing the same. Please keep up the good work. (unbelievable sarcasm alert)
Those sons'o'bitches could detonate a nuke in the desert tomorrow... and the UN would sanction Israel for having sour faces.
Hmmm. How is Iran supposed to decide whether or not to comply, before it knows what kind of pressure is applied?
Iran isn't going to fold.
In 30 days, Iran will be 30 days closer to an operational nuclear capacity, the next resolution will include, by US (Bush) demand, language directly or indirectly authorizing the use of force if Iran doesn't comply, the resolution will either be defeated or never brought to vote, subject to Chinese veto, the time limit specified in the non-adopted resolution will expire, and the B2's will fly.
Esfahan and a few other Iranian cities and towns may end up uninhabitable, Israel's Arrow system will succeed or fail, we might get driven clear out of Baghdad (but not Iraq) before REFORGIR turns the balance back our way, maybe the Hormuz Striats will close for a week or two, the only real question left is whether we stop at the border or drive all the way to Teheran.
I vote Teheran. A wounded snake is a wounded snake. I prefer them dead.

Get a series of "dirty" bombs. Irradiate the sites where nuclear work is being done.
That way, even if all the facilities are not destroyed, they're unusable.

Because they will not stop their Nuclear developmnment that may and I mean may lead them to developing a Nuclear Weapon in the distant future.
From all accounts Iran is still a long way of from manufacturing such a weapon so we still have time.
And if they ever do, do you think everyone in the Iranian leadership has a death wish that includes the Iranian Military that does have a number of pragmatic Generals.
With any other country I think talks would be productive
But the President of Iran is a loon
At least 8 years of the last democrat president in office.
One year of a republican president and Saddam is gone!
Will President Bush now pull a Clinton and not do a thing and let the next guy handle it?
We better get used to the idea of a nuclear armed Iran, because unless they were to use their nuclear weapons, no one is seriously going to do anything.
And if they don't the UN will have a hissy-fit!
Then we better get used to the idea that Iran is going to use the bomb on Israel and the U.S. indirectly through the use of terrorists.
I'm sure the U.N. will respond appropriately, if we can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the bombs came from Iran. Of course, it won't help the dead Israelis or the one or two destroyed U.S. cities.
It's all a game to Iran; stalling while they continue their work.
We all agree that this isn´t the way to prevent Iran from getting nukes. But it´s the way to prepare appropriate steps. The decisive moment will be, when we *officially* find out that Russia and China will not do everything they can to stop Iran. Will the US be ready to take effective military action (concerns of a rising oil price cannot be an arguement against that)? Will the UK and this time France & Germany support these actions actively? Never forget, we once had a precedent - Kosovo. The alliance has proven that it can act without the blessing of the UN, which will be blocked by Russia and China, as so often.
"Alright. From now on, they're on "double-secret" probation!"

Australian studio Hipster Whale landed a smash hit in November, 2014 with their premiere release, Crossy Road. Its multitude of pop-culture references and sleek gameplay have made the game a critical favorite while also managing to turn the mobile-monetization world on its head through its use of rewarded video and incentivized IAP offers.
After 50m downloads and over $10m grossed in revenue, many publishers are following suite, shifting their focus to cosmetic IAPs, rewarded video and frequent offers as their primary means of monetization. To better understand Crossy Road's winning formula, we played 100 rounds to see how often each type of offer was being made.
We tracked the frequency of four different offer types that we'll discuss in more detail below:
- Basic Offers
- Rewarded Video
- Sample Bundles
- Basic Bundles
We only tracked offers relating to monetization, and did not track ratings prompts or share prompts.
Offer Frequencies
At a high-level, it was nearly an even split. 48 of the 100 runs we completed ended in one of the four types of offers, while 52 of them either ended in a ratings prompt, a share prompt or no prompt at all. While it's unclear whether or not Hipster Whale have used any player-centric strategies that would cause the offer frequencies to react to purchasing history, we found it to be a nice balance of monetization efforts versus user experience.
Basic Offer – 14%
The game's basic offers don't include any additional currency, discount or trial period. They simply make the player aware of an item available in the store and the price point that it's being offered at. At 14% of all runs, these offers do a great job of introducing players to the many characters the developers have included.
Rewarded Video Offer – 14%
On January 15th of 2015, the Unity blog updated a previous post to state that Crossy Road had earned $3m in revenue from Unity Ads alone, which feature prominently in the game's rewarded video offers. In the post, Unity's Jussi Laakkonen said, "The success of Crossy Road with Unity Ads shows that mobile games can make millions of dollars with ads that users choose to watch." Including the rewarded video offers have no doubt gone a long way towards monetizing the majority of their non-purchasing players who would have otherwise generated no revenue.
Sample Bundle – 15%
Crossy Road's "try-before-you-buy" sample bundles are a unique strategy that not many other publishers or developers have been able to pull off. They not only make players aware of what's available for purchase, they also give the player all the information they need to evaluate the purchase and determine if its for them or not.
Each sample bundle offer covers a total of 5 rounds, meaning that we actually played through 3 offers that added up to a total of 15 rounds. The first round of each offer prompts the player to try out a new character and the next four are spent using that character. At the end of each round, the player is offered a bonus 250 coins if they complete the purchase. We'll look at these offers in more detail in a later post, but we suspect that they're where the majority of Crossy Road's IAP revenue is coming from.
Basic Bundle – 5%
At only 5 of the 100 completed runs, the lowest frequency offer we saw was the Piggy Bank and 1000 bonus coins, which we dubbed the Basic Bundle. Its the highest priced IAP in the game and unlike almost all of the other characters, it can't be unlocked through gameplay. Its also the only IAP that alters the mechanics of the game: when players use the piggy band, red coins spawn that add 5 coins to their balance rather than the standard 1.
To recap, the 100 runs we completed broke down as follows:
- 52% No Offer
- 14% Basic Offer
- 14% Rewarded Video
- 15% Sample Bundle
- 5% Basic Bundle
We hope this information helps when it comes time to balance your own offer frequencies!

We in the agency media business are accustomed to planning seasons. In traditional shops, slightly more defined planning seasons are driven by events such as the upfront. On the interactive side, there's a season as well. My shop is beginning ours across several clients. It has me thinking about new ideas, ways to do things better than the last time, and overall challenges we face. I'll share a few as I more or less think out loud.
A major issue we face is figuring out what part of the budget will fund us. This is often driven by what role the medium plays in the mix. It's not an easy question to answer, you're no doubt aware. More than most, we have an extremely flexible medium to work in. It can address multiple objectives, often simultaneously. It can contribute to building brands. It can efficiently deliver promotions. It can acquire leads, and it can drive sales.
Problem is, when you start talking that way, you sound sales-y. People stop trusting you — particularly those in offline agencies when you try to integrate with them. That kind of talk is probably better saved for advocates on the client side who can help you filter your message through the rest of the organization in a more calculated fashion. Of course, we don't always have that luxury.
We need to figure out what we're going to try to accomplish this year. If the direction comes from the aforementioned advocate on the client side, it's likely we'll acquire leads for a database so they can deploy some sort of relationship management program. We make good money doing that, but it takes a lot of the fun out of planning because, ultimately, we're buying a bunch of costs per action (CPA). There's not a lot to that. A few items dictate pricing (how many segmentation questions this year? How many pages in the registration process?), and off you go.
If the brand team drives direction, you can plan on working pretty closely with the offline agency trying to deliver on some sort of brand-oriented goal. That can be a thrill a minute — not. I shouldn't be so sour, but, honestly, navigating the waters with another shop that has no interest in what you do, how you do it, or giving up a sliver of its many millions of dollars so you can do any of it at all can be trying. Next year, I hope things will be different.
The relatively recent introduction of reach and frequency metrics to online advertising may help instigate a few changes. Much has been written about the embarrassment of riches a rating point would create for us online planners and buyers. It's probably safe to say you can't go a full business day without seeing some pundit's written opinion on the subject. Man, do I tire of that. (If I ever tire you out like that, please email me and tell me to move on, move out, or whatever).
Well, the riches have yet to really materialize. Anybody who expected them is guilty of the same blind optimism that hamstrung this industry from the get-go. But I digress. So why do I think reach and frequency and rating points will finally start helping us out?
When I was on the traditional side of the business and planning season came around, we always had planning rates issued to us. Demographic cost per points and CPMs for each medium were generated by the client's buying agency. We used that information to plan. We most often tried to achieve a reach goal.
I figured, Why not generate some online planning rates this year? We've been buying a lot of online media for a lot of years. We have cost history on a fairly wide range of sites that cover most categories we'll plan for this year. So why not pull that together, crank some old schedules through our trusty (and clunky) WebRF system, and voilà! Planning rates. Costs per point (CPPs) and CPMs by demographic.
Next step: guidelines. I can show another shop what a point costs, but they still have no idea how many to buy to be effective online. So, we'll tell them.
Thus far, I've had one media director see the output and utter in disbelief, "Why wouldn't we be buying the Internet all day long?" This was a 35-year-plus media veteran who's completely rooted in traditional media. I'm beginning to think his reaction will become more common.
Let's hope so.
