DisappointedDidn't like this at all - too much air, not enough heat, and made my hair very poofy. If you have a lot of fine hair, with any damage, I would not recommend this dryer. For my hair type either the Babyliss Carrera is better. Also, the sound of this dryer, while quiet, really bothered my ears. I also think the price is kind of silly.

Pleasantly Surprised!!I have been looking for a better hair dryer for a while now because I was using an old conair blow dryer and it just didn't give me very good results. I kept looking at this dryer and the 4000i because of all the great reviews it has but I was kind of skeptical about getting it because $160 is a lot to just drop on a hair dryer and my hair is so hard to tame I didn't think a hair dryer would make that much of a difference. Recently I got an email saying that I could get 50% off any Sedu product and I knew that I had to take advantage of the sale because that made this dryer only $80+free shipping! It took me a while to decide if I wanted to get this one or the 4000i but I decided to go with this one assuming it had newer technology.
So far I really really like this hair dryer even though I have only had it for about a week! I am very surprised by how smooth it makes my hair feel, I have never had a hair dryer with the ionic settings but I really like it. This hair dryer also gets really hot but I actually don't feel like it dries my hair any faster than my last one though but my hair only takes about 10 minutes to dry anyways so it isn't a big deal.
I have very damaged hair because I color it pretty often, and it always look very dry and frizzy after I blow dry it, but with this dryer it is smooth enough that I don't even have to straighten/curl it to make it look presentable! It isn't perfectly straight after I blow dry it but I have pretty wavy hair and it doesn't look poofy at the ends which I really like! It makes my hair look shiny and my hair never looks shiny no matter how many products I put in it that are supposed to give it shine. I also really like how the buttons light up and how the cool shot button locks so you don't have to hold it down for cool air, and the cool air is actually cool unlike previous hair dryers I have had.
Overall, I definitely think it is worth $160, but I am so excited that I got such a great hairdryer for $80!!! I love the long cord and that it comes with 2 attachments and the fact that there is a 2 year warranty that comes with it. It makes my hair feel a lot smoother and softer and look a lot healthier. It is a really good hair dryer from what I can tell so far & I will be sure to update if I run into any problems with it :)

Bit Pricey, But Worth Iti work approx 80 hrs a week... but due to a move to NYC i had to start primping a little more and this hair dryer definitely delivers. it gets hot quickly and with the concentrator it only takes about 2 swipes to dry each chunk of hair after i let it air-dry for 30 minutes or so. the cool button is awesome too. it's impressive how quickly it changes from hot to cold. it definitely leaves hair shinier and more healthy feeling than other dryers. the long cord is convenient.Jul 19, 2012Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPEDry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

More Than Worth It!To start off I love this to bits it made my thick curly hair straighter than any other blow dryer I've used, and I didn't even have to use a nozzle or round brush or a brush in general, just my fingers.
The only Con was that I first used it with my round brush and one of the nozzles and it almost instantly melted the plastic teeth on the brush..
So I stopped that and just held the dryer above me pointing down at my hair and ran my fingers through it and it came out perfectly straight!
Totally worth every penny, I wouldn't trade it for any other!Jun 30, 2012Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Vs The 4000iI had been using the 4000i on an average of about 6-8 clients/day for the last 18 months. About two weeks ago, it died on me (side note: thank you folica for your awesomely prompt warranty replacement service, and thank you Sedu for offering this wonderful 2-year warranty!, that in itself is reason enough to buy these products). So while I sent off the 4000i to be replaced I was forced to purchase the new 6000i from a local store, since they had stopped carrying the 4000i and I needed a backup. After quite a few clients, here are some pros and cons between these two great tools:
-The new 6000i has a locking "cool-shot" button, meaning you don't have to hold it down continuously to make it work, just click it on or off, this is really great and makes using the button an actual option when seeing clients. Plus it lights up to tell you it is engaged, which is a nice detail.
-the handle seems more ergonomic and balanced.
-seems like it gets hotter, but I might just be imagining that.
-seems to blow with much more velocity than the 4000i when not using a concentrator. Not using the concentrator on the 4000i was a questionable option at best.
-Longer nozzle. I'm still a HUGE fan of the short nozzle of the 4000i, it just seemed more compact and easier to use. But it's growing on me.
-Shorter cord?? This was an enormous surprise to me, so much so that I didn't even research it beforehand. Why would they make the cord shorter? The 4000i had this wonderfully long cord, you could blow dry across the room. This cord seems more designed for the at-home user. I simply can't imagine any professional saying, "this cord is just too long and convenient." I had to buy an extension cord just to use it in the way I was accustomed.
-No more removable filter and end gate. While the removable end piece on the 4000i was annoying (would pop off if dropped) sometimes, at least you were ensured that your dryer was clean and in its best condition. The end cap on the 6000i while it seems much more substantial and of far better quality, is not removable. Because it isn't removable, there isn't a filter behind it (why would there be a filter if it wasn't removable). I would generally clean the filter and end cap every month, so how this works out, we'll see...
All in all:
This is a great follow-up to the 4000i. I actually see this dryer as being much better suited to the at-home user than its predecessor (when I get my replacement 4000i back, my wife will be stoked to have this at home - at least until I need a backup), due mostly to the shorter cord length and better use without the concentrator nozzle. If this is your first Sedu, the longer nozzle won't be an issue and may even be better suited for use than the original short nozzle. This is no doubt a quality product, but if for some reason you do have an issue, my experience with the folica.com support service was very prompt and generally awesome, so you can purchase with confidence.Jun 28, 2012Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPENormal Hair / Oily Hair / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Love It!!!This is the answer to my prayers, this hair dryer is incredible. I was literally frying my hair with a 2000watts dryer and even though , this one has less wattage, it is very powerful , my hair looks shiny and healthy and I dried my hair in less time than with the other one.Jun 15, 2012Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair DryerHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Almost Takes The Place Of My Flat IronLove this hair dryer. No louder than the last one I had but so much more powerful. Drying time cut in half, as well as frizz.

Love This Hair Dryer!I absolutely love this hair dryer! It makes my hair look so shiny. It drys your hair much quicker with less damage! I always felt like I was frying my hair- this dryer actaully makes my hair seem healthier as it has a much softer feel without the split ends. I also don't need to use the flat iron which prevents even more heat damage! I would highly recommend this hair dryer!!!Jun 7, 2012Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair Dryer

Hello Nerf enthusiasts and Cos-play actors, Makers, Movie lovers, Freaks, Geeks, and Mystique's. Welcome to instruction in the building of a functional Nerf version of the auto-shotguns used by Mouse in the movie The Matrix. Ever since I was introduced to the art of Nerf modding, I knew this was something I had to do as these are my favorite movie guns. Although I could have simply made replicas of these guns, the fun part for me was figuring out how make a working version.
Second Note- I know I look pretty shaggy in the video. I had just finish building, hadn't shaved in a few days and was too exited to show off my gun to go make myself look better. Also, I apologize for fliping the bird. I lost my index finger in a table saw accident at work so I have to point with my middle finger.

These guns were custom built for this movie by John Bowring, a builder of weapons used in movies. If you've ever seen a movie gun that made you say "wow, that's cool..." , chances are that this guy built it. These are cam driven, 25 round, rotating drum, automatic shotguns. What this means (I'm pretty sure anyway) is that the trigger activates a motor, located at the top of the gun, which turns the drum. Behind the drum is a spring loaded firing-pin that strikes each shotgun shell as the drum turns. Firing rate is determined by the speed of the motors that turn the drums. The genius of these guns, besides how awesome they look, is the simplicity of the whole system. Our versions of these guns are, by comparison, much more complicated; but as you can see, very do-able and worth the time put in to building them.
It was both a blessing and curse that these guns were only onscreen for a few seconds. You only get a visual of the front half of the gun, so what's the back half supposed to look like....? Answer: Whatever I want it to look like, or more accurately, whatever I need it to look like. The most difficult part of this project was incorporating the automatic mechanism of the Nerf Vulcan into the body of the Nerf Firefly, kind of like Dr. Frankenstein's monster.
Here's a quick overview of what you will be doing to complete this project. We will be removing the automatic firing mechanism from the Nerf Vulcan. Redesigning the body of the Nerf Firefly to accommodate this mechanism. Building a trigger to activate it. Building a drum to house the ammo chain from the Vulcan. Finally, relocate and build a housing for the light that was in the Firefly. Simple, right?
Take your time with each step and focus on the details, making everything fit together smoothly, before moving on to the next step. I will say that having a 3D printer would have made building this gun much easier and more accurate, but I don't have one.
This project took me a while and, although the focus was not on making an exact copy, is very involved. It does require some electrical and mechanical know how. Being an unconventional build, some of the way things fit together will be up to your judgement. I will be guiding you through the process of constructing the pieces to the best of my ability and hopefully in the end, you will have a truly unique Nerf weapon.

The Chronometry of Attention???Modulated Processing and Automatic Mismatch Detection
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1469-8986.1992.tb01714.x
- PubMed: 93029132
Focuses on 2 auditory ERP effects that may be attributed to 2 independent cognitive processes: attention-modulated processing and mismatch detection. ERPs were recorded from 9 normal Ss (aged 25–42 yrs) performing an easy and a hard selective attention task in which longer tones (170 msec) were randomly embedded in a sequence of shorter (100 msec) standard tones. Performance was more accurate in the easy task. ERPs elicited in the simple reaction time (RT) condition differed from those elicited by the standards in the selective attention condition. Median RT did not differ between tasks. Neither direction of attention nor task difficulty affected the latency of mismatch negativity, N2, or P3.

Huntington Nursing Home Apex Rehab and Healthcare Highlights its Outstanding Dietary Department
South Huntington area nursing home Apex Rehabilitation and Healthcare supports March National Nutrition Month
Use less salt! Reduce your sodium intake to reduce water retention and high blood pressure.
Eat good fats! Avocados, olive oil, walnuts, and salmon are all examples of "good fats" that can protect you from bad cholesterol and raise your good cholesterol.
Go fiber! Fiber is a crucial part of a nutritional diet, as it reduces constipation, lowers your risk of chronic disease, and helps you feel more full when eating.
Eat more veggies! The best way to prepare vegetables is by steaming or sautéing them in olive oil. Olive oil preserves nutrients and is a great example of the good fats doctors recommend.
Diversify your plate! A helpful tip from Japanese food culture is to include five colors on your plate. Fruits and veggies rich in color correspond to rich nutrients (blackberries, melons, yams, spinach, tomatoes, zucchini).
"Our dietary department is a crucial aspect of our operations here at Apex Rehabilitation and Healthcare and we take great pride in the food we make here. We understand that many health issues our residents encounter can potentially be avoided with the right diet. Our dietary department is superb, and works with every resident individually to create personalized nutrition plans. This being Nutrition Month, we salute the work they do and thank them for it," said Ari Silberstein, Administrator at Apex.
Apex Rehabilitation and Healthcare is a 195-bed premier skilled nursing and rehabilitation care center providing comprehensive inpatient care to all of their residents. The proud recipient of a 2014 Five Star Rating from Medicare, Apex is located at 78 Birchwood Drive, South Huntington, NY, 11746.

Hollywood movie studios and the television industry now enjoy such a cozy relationship as wholly-owned subsidiaries of each other it is easy to forget that back at the close of Hollywood's Golden Age and the beginning of television's, the two were not close allies but bitter adversaries. The advent of television threatened Hollywood's life's blood revenue stream. Rental of films to movie theatres (preferably theatres the studios owned) was a key part of the economic model on which the old studio system was built. The studios did not want to play nice with the TV industry, but faced with anti-trust lawsuits (over the theatres) and competition from the hot new technology that made both sound and pictures fly through the air into the audience's living room, Hollywood eventually made peace with the new media kid on the block.
Consumer demand for TV sets and programming to watch on them had reached critical mainstream mass by the mid-50s. That helped convince the studios to swallow hard and start selling the television broadcast rights to what we now consider "classic films." The studios (through the syndication arms they created when they were forced to divest themselves of their theatres) sold packages of what were then just "old movies" directly to local TV stations, where movies were handy multitaskers. Stations drew an audience with films, but also relied on them as time-fillers, to–let's face it–give talent and crew a break when much of the broadcast day was still nearly all-live and mostly locally produced.
One of the most notable syndie packages was made up of horror films from Universal, including the original 1930s versions of Frankenstein and Dracula and other now-classic examples of the genre. By the late 1950s these films had spent up to 25 years gathering real dust (not a light atmospheric coating of fuller's earth from the prop department) in what was then Universal International's vault. The studios hadn't yet figured out that their vaults–their crypts, if you will–were about to become a new goldmine.
A station in what was at that time a medium-sized market of about 300,000 TV households might have paid $1000 per airing of an "A" movie with big stars, but as little as $300 per airing of a "B" western or a horror movie with little perceived value. That low dollar amount could be earned back by moving very little "inventory"–airing just a few commercials–and everything else was gravy.
Or ketchup. With the local broadcast of horror films came the local horror host. Local stations employed assorted spooky characters to host the monster movies in weekend late-night "fringe" timeslots that were a tough sell to advertisers–airtime that station sales departments already considered to be a "graveyard" of unsold commercial spots.
Imagine, then, your local station's surprise when horror flicks proved immensely popular. Perhaps it was Cold War Paranoia, perhaps the local hosts exercised a mysterious power over their viewing minions. (Perhaps the next sound you hear will be…a theremin) Classic hosts ran the gamut from KABC-TV's Vampira, the original Lady of Horrors, and Elvira, the stacked Mistress of the Dark and presenter of Movie Macabre on KHJ-TV (both in Los Angeles), to Count Gore DeVol, the (literate!) vampire host on WDXR-TV in Paducah, Kentucky.
The local horror movie broadcast was quite lucrative for TV stations. The film packages were a cheap source of programming, the local host segments were no-budget productions–often to hysterical effect–and the monster chiller horror theatre shock show quickly proved itself a reliable vehicle for delivering many bloodshot eyeballs to local advertisers. Long after TV was a mature business, in Omaha, Nebraska the Saturday night Creature Feature broadcast with Dr. San Guinary (played by a KMTV staff director, the late John Jones) was still pulling an estimated 52% share of that market's TV audience at the height of its popularity in the early to mid-70s.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, the local horror host tradition lives on in the person of Doktor Goulfinger (no "H,"–"they're for the weak," he says). The Doktor keeps the scary flag flying on Berkeley cable access, in personal appearances and at his web site, The Hip Crypt of Doktor Goulfinger.
The Dok is also one of the nation's leading experts on local TV horror hosts. He maintains a huge memorabilia collection including props, costumes and airchecks–expertise that led him to a gig as an Associate Producer and research specialist on American Scary, a documentary overview of the horror host genre by filmmakers Sandy Clark and John Hudgens.
Dok Goulfinger was kind enough to
write the rest of this piece for us answer a few questions on the history of local TV horror hosting earlier this month as he completed preparations for his busy season:
How did you get interested in horror films and horror hosts?
DG: I think kids have a natural attraction to monsters. It's a natural extension of fairy tales. I grew up in the era of the 'monster boom', the early to mid-60s, when horror and science fiction films had established themselves as broadcast staples. In the San Francisco Bay Area, it seemed every local station had one or more regularly scheduled horror movie programs. My earliest childhood memories include films like Bride of the Monster (the first horror film that gave me nightmares), Tarantula, Creature Walks Among Us and The Magic Sword.
The defining moment for me was one Halloween night when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I was trick or treating with my brothers when my bag started to tear – this was back in the days when a kid could literally gather a shopping bag of booty in the course of an evening. I was close to home and ran in to grab a new bag. My dad was laying on the couch in the dark watching Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, and I walked in just as the monsters were being revived. The whole image – the monsters on the screen, my dad on the couch – imprinted itself deeply onto my psyche. That movie defines Halloween for me, and ever since it first came out on video tape, I've watched it ever year and think of my father.
The shows I was seeing at the time were unhosted, but most had a menacing voice announcer introducing the film and setting the mood. This was back when you only had three stations, four stations tops, to choose from. Sometime in 1969, my mother bought portable TV that had additional UHF stations, and there I discovered KEMO CH 20, which had a program called Shock It To Me Theater — and this show had a host called Asmodeus. Shock It To Me had the Universal package, so I finally got a chance to see the classic Frankenstein, Dracula, Mummy and Wolf Man [characters and] movies I had been seeing in Famous Monsters of Filmland. So it was pretty exciting time. Shock It To Me was also where I first saw Carnival of Souls, which really popped the top off my skull and spanked my brain.
And of course there was Asmodeus. Afternoon kid's shows had hosts, so the concept was familiar. But having that type of character transposed to the dark hours was startling and intriguing, to say the least. Asmodeus was an imperious, sarcastic character. His garb was macabre mod, he smoked a cigarette and had a fairly elaborate castle set.
A year, year and half later, Creature Features debuted on KTVU CH 2, hosted by Bob Wilkins. Wilkins was the absolute antithesis of Asmodeus. He was a mild, slightly built guy with glasses and a cigar. And in contrast to the Shock It To Me top class film library, Creature Features came out of the gate with Horror of Party Beach, followed in quick succession by Curse of the Living Corpse and the immortal The Vulture, with Akim Tamiroff in a turkey suit.
Somewhat incredibly, Creature Features flattened Shock It To Me. Wilkins was an appealing presence, a bit like a cornball Bob Newhart. The ratings went through the roof. Creature Features soon became a twice weekly double bill on Friday and Saturday and knocked Shock It To Me off the air.
The program's popularity led other stations to launch their own hosted horror movie shows. KBHK CH 44 tried first by syndicating The Ghoul from Cleveland in 1973, and again a decade later with Son of Svengoolie from Chicago. In the meantime, KEMO rather peevishly ran an unhosted show called The Original Creature Feature.
Another huge influence was the Carlos Clarens book, An Illustrated History of Horror and Science-Fiction Films, which took these movies out of the gee whiz world of Famous Monsters and placed them in the larger context of cinema. It was the first book that led me to look at horror films critically.
What circumstances led to local stations creating their own horror movie series/hosts?
DG: Although Vampira initially appeared back in 1954, the horror host genre officially followed the release of the Universal SHOCK! package of horror movies in 1957. It's difficult to conceive now, but this was the first time this type of thing was being seen on television (Vampira was a localized Los Angeles phenomenon), and to an audience in the late 50s and early 60s, this was pretty strong stuff. This is also the best explanation for why so many of the hosts were comic in their approach. Humor further softened the experience.
Most strange is that the vast majority of hosts across the nation appeared to adhere to the same template, even though, as late as the 1980s, most local hosts had no idea what was going on in other markets. The most logical explanation for this universality seems to be in the Spook Show circuit of the '40s and '50s. These were traveling stage shows involving magic, monsters and crazy ghost effects, presided over by a magician/host with names like Dr. Evil and XXXXX. Following a raucous program mixing screams and laughs, a cheap movie, like The Ape Man or Mad Monster, would be screened. So these performers were, in effect, the first horror movie hosts.
So most stations felt it was necessary to wrap the horror material with host segments?
DG: [Their reasons were] a combination of creative and practical. Local stations were always keen to create identifiable personalties as spokespeople for the channel. News, variety and kid's show hosts were already established, so it was a natural to extend it to the horror movie host. The other important benefit of the host was filling time. Many of the films in the Universal package ran 60 to 70 minutes long, and needed some padding to fill out a 90 minute time slot.
Which horror hosts have influenced you?
DG: Asmodeus and Bob Wilkins were clearly the biggest influences. I've recently been privileged to do a number of stage and convention appearances with Bob, as well as the second Creature Features host, John Stanley. You want to talk about childhood dreams come true? Wow. At one of these shows, someone told me I reminded them of Asmodeus. Double wow.
My interest in local hosts expanded well outside the Bay Area, and I've really felt the impact of folks like Ghoulardi (Cleveland), Son of Ghoul (Akron), Crematia Mortem (Kansas City), The Host (Witchita), Sammy Terry (Indianapolis), Dr. Paul Bearer (Tampa), and of course [Philadelphia's] Zacherley.
You mentioned that stations were often unaware of what other stations were doing. What are some of the classic bits of local horror show hosting? Were these replicated by stations all over the country?
DG: Probably THE classic bit of hostdom was Zacherley's dissection of the giant amoebae. Zach made his amoebae by wrapping Jell-O in chees cloth, which was pretty effective and cheerfully disgusting. He would pat it, whack at it, and it would jiggle like crazy. But the best was when he would then slice it open with a scalpel and squeeze out the innards. I know Dr Speculo from Florida recreated the bit, giving full credit to Zacherley. And The Ghoul did an uncredited take on it in Detroit, which naturally emphasized the messier aspects of the gag.
I actually continued the experiments of the great Zacherley on a few of my own shows. I love the bit, and it gives me a chance to talk about horror host history on the show. The first time was a straight recreation of the dissection, and a second show found the Dok mating the giant amoebae with the common household parakeet, creating the first flying giant amoebae.The experiment was a spectacular failure. Made a nice big splat though…
Animal rights activists excepted, the fans must have fond memories of their local hosts…
DG: The absolute coolest thing about slipping into horror host drag is that people you meet will instantly start talking about the local guy or gal from their childhood. And they're always so enthusiastic.
Everybody is 12 years old again. I've talked to many myself, and have been at conventions with Bob Wilkins where grown men were approaching him with big silly grins and sharing their experience of watching Creature Features from behind the couch, or with their family, or with their best friend. But most importantly, they talk about the effect the show had on them, the fun and inspiration they got out of it. It's the warmest possible exchange, and I've seen it time and again. Nothing but smiles.

Durbin: GOP should back payroll tax cut
CHAMPAIGN — Members of Illinois' congressional delegation should abide by a Senate-negotiated plan to preserve a federal payroll tax cut and to maintain unemployment benefits, Sen. Dick Durbin warned today.
Durbin toured the Epiworks manufacturing plant in north Champaign Monday morning with fellow Democrats state Sen. Mike Frerichs of Champaign, state Rep. Naomi Jakobsson of Urbana and Champaign Mayor Don Gerard.
"The Senate passed a bipartisan measure 89-10 — an overwhelming bipartisan roll call — last week and sent the measure to the House. The Speaker of the House, John Boehner, has announced that he opposes it and he's going to try to try to reject it. If he does, it literally means 160 million Americans, middle class working families, will see an increase in their payroll tax on January 1st," Durbin said. "That is exactly the wrong thing for this moment in our economy."
He called on Illinois congressmen "to give the same bipartisan support to this proposal that we were able to find in the United States Senate."
Durbin said the payroll tax extension agreement was negotiated among Republicans and Democrats.
"What we did was the leader of the Senate, Harry Reid, the Democrat, sat down with Speaker Boenher and his Republican counterpart in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, about 10 days ago, and he said let's work something out," Durbin said. "Speaker Boehner said to him, 'You work it out with Mitch McConnell. I don't want to be part of that conversation. I'm not involved in it.' We reached an agreement with Senator McConnell."
Boehner "pulled the rug out from under us," Durbin said.
"It is the kind of political move we have seen over and over again by the Republican-led House," he said. "I sincerely hope that our delegation, the Republicans in the delegation, will break from the Speaker and stand with the Republicans in the Senate."
The Senate will not consider a revised agreement, Durbin said.
"They need 100 senators to give unanimous consent to return," he said. "And they've been spread to the winds. Everyone's gone. We were told to 'pass this on a bipartisan basis and you can go home.' We did. We passed this bill 89-10.
"We had high-fives on the floor among Republican senators that we finally reached an agreement after so many contentious battles."
Durbin said Boehner "got on a conference call with his tea party members and they of course blew up and said that our job here is to shake things up."
The House is expected to take up the Senate bill Monday night.

billbtri5, agree completely. This is a spending bill the dems love. Feel good today, tax somebody else tomorrow. Spend and tax. At least in the old days they had the sense to tax first and then spend it. And what exactly does it cost for the tax holiday? Seems like the State of Illinois did that twice under the Blago adninstration and it didn't work out so well for the pension plans.
Seriously, do our elected "representatives" consider themselves immune from the fallout of their bad decisions?
"Seriously, do our elected "representatives" consider themselves immune from the fallout of their bad decisions?"
Simply put, yes! They are immune they have a pension.... We have a bankrupt SS...... They don't worry about bills they live off of you and me and most likely could write books after there terms/retire and make millions so they know that they can continue to errode our country with impurity.....
It is easy to see that the tea party patriots and their billionaire masters want feudalism for America. Anything that helps the working person is bad, but wealthy tax cuts to bust the budget and a trillion dollar war in Iraq are good. Spill here, spill now…Obama 2012!

Why Are Marketing Automation Managers So Hard to Find?
Sales Force Automation software (primarily Salesforce.com). Even though some vendors have been around for almost 10 years, Marketing Automation is still relatively new. According to Forrester, only 2-5% of B2B firms have invested in full-featured Marketing Automation. But that percentage is rapidly growing. Increasingly, B2B companies realize that Marketing Automation software requires skilled operators. But – if you decide to hire a Marketing Automation manager – what should you look for, and where do you find them? But that's for web analysts. Email Marketing.
Eloqua Experience 2010
Eloqua is also taking a lesson from Salesforce.com's playbook by making it easier to extend Eloqua with 3rd party applications. Another new product is Eloqua Discover for Salesforce.com. This is available from within Salesforce.com, and it is a native Force.com application available from the AppExchange. Eloqua Discover for Salesforce.com (click to enlarge).
7 Reasons Why Oracle's Market2Lead Acquisition Makes a Lot of Sense
Everybody expected Salesforce.com to make a first move, but Oracle surprised us here :- ). Oracle has just acquired Market2Lead , one of the early Marketing Automation vendors. There has been a lot of talk in the industry about possible consolidation, such as vendors going out of business, becoming irrelevant or being acquired. This is the first transaction involving a major software vendor, so it deserves some notice. People asked my opinion on this acquisition. Overall, I think this is great news, for 7 reasons: 1. Market2Lead Probably Got A Good Deal. The Market Needs Consolidation.
Drip Campaigns: Tips From Marketing Automation Monday
Another company was saving those replies straight into Salesforce.com. Some used customizations of Salesforce.com, others add-on products from their Marketing Automation vendors, one company was using a Business Intelligence tool, and yet others developed a custom solution. Almost 30 people showed up for the first two Marketing Automation Monday meetups in San Francisco and Palo Alto. The topics for these meetings was drip campaigns and lead nurturing. Lots of good ideas and best practices were exchanged, and I wanted to give you a quick summary in this blog post.

The plan is to go back to using only Salesforce.com with some cheap add-on tools for email, form submission and data quality. However, when I started looking into Salesforce.com and the wide variety of add-ons, I was less convinced.

years ago Salesforce.com was tiny compared to Siebel. There has been quite a bit of change in B2B marketing over the past couple of years. Buyers have moved online, which has had a major impact on the buying process. Prospects now have instant access to much more information, so marketing's involvement reaches much further down the sales cycle: they need to nurture prospects with relevant content until they are sales-ready. Sales people are still very important, but they can focus on facilitating the buying process rather than distributing information. Enter Silverpop.

Lessons Learned From Ruffed Grouse Research in Idaho
Idaho is rich with a variety of game birds, but one that has taken the backseat in popularity to quail, chukars and pheasants is the ruffed grouse, relegated to "camp meat" by some big game hunters.
Yet a growing number of us realize and appreciate the challenges of hunting "ruffies." Unfortunately, little is known about Idaho's ruffed grouse, so during the past few years, Fish and Game biologists have been studying a population on the Boise National Forest north of Ola near Sage Hen Reservoir, an area known to hunters as Game Management Unit 32A.
During the spring, male ruffed grouse perch atop downed logs and rapidly flap or "drum" their wings to attract females. This is the perfect time to take the pulse of the ruffed grouse population, by counting these "drummers." During boom years, counts in forests east of the Rocky Mountains can peak on average at 33 drumming males per square mile, whereas bust years average only 11 males; the cycle repeats every 10 years or so. In Unit 32A, numbers have held steady at around 13 males per square mile since 2007.
It is assumed that the number of female grouse equals that of males, because they hatch at an even ratio. Females are harder to count because they are secretive, so biologists tried a technique of playing recordings of chicks in distress to attract hens into the open. "Peeping" chicks are irresistible to females, which instinctively want to help a crying chick. The technique yielded much lower numbers of females than drumming males. More work is needed on this technique before the conclusion is reached that there are truthfully fewer females. More study, involving the capture of hens to monitor nest success and chick survival, also needs to be done in the future.
Male ruffed grouse aggressively defend their drumming logs from other males, so a mirror facing the drummer will lure him into a walk-in trap. During the study, 26 drummers were captured and radio-collared with transmitters to track their movements. These radio-marked males stayed within an average of 190 yards of their drumming logs year round, finding all they needed for food and cover within just over 100 acres of forest. When a male ruffed grouse died, he was replaced on the same drumming log by a different male the following year.
Without radio-collar technology, it might have been wrongly assumed that it was the same drummer every year. Other data is being analyzed to determine whether suitable ruffed grouse habitat remains in short supply, a shortcoming that might explain why there are so few grouse compared to boom years back East.
Hunters using the study area were interviewed, and it was discovered that 70 percent of them were primarily hunting big game; only 6 percent of these hunters said they would shoot a grouse if they saw one. Of the grouse harvested, 22 percent were taken incidentally by big game hunters and 69 percent by true grouse hunters. Only one of the radio-marked grouse was harvested over the past few years, so it appears that harvest rates are relatively low.
About 66 percent of the grouse harvested were born the previous spring. This is typical, as young game birds are the least wary, and more abundant than adults. Young birds were about 20 percent lighter than adults and had stubby, partially grown tails. This is because opening day of the season is only 12 to 13 weeks from when most ruffed grouse chicks hatch, and they don't reach their full adult size before the season opener. Eastern states start hunting grouse after mid-September whereas Western states start before mid-September. In Idaho, opening day has been September 1 since 1990 and August 30 since 2010.
Grouse harvest in Unit 32A peaks during the first week of the season and again right before deer season begins, so lengthening the season later into the winter would likely not affect grouse numbers. Moving the season a few weeks later at the beginning of the season likely would give juveniles more time to grow, but it is debatable whether this would increase grouse numbers. An experimental hunting season with a later opening date might help to solve this riddle.
Unfortunately, research on Idaho's ruffed grouse has ground to a halt. Budgets are tight, and work is needed elsewhere on grouse in more dire condition, namely greater sage-grouse and Columbian sharp-tailed grouse. Perhaps one day, statewide ruffed grouse research will be launched, and expanded to include the other two forest grouse species, dusky grouse (formerly called blue grouse) and spruce grouse (sometimes called Franklin's grouse). Many lessons remain to be learned so Fish and Game biologists can more effectively manage this important Idaho resource.
This is a great deal of
Submitted by Retired2hunt on Fri, 2011-10-28 14:24.
This is a great deal of very good information on the ruffed grouse for the hunters of Idaho. Dad has grouse on the farm that he raised himself and planted their populations. They are another great hunting opportunity for the hunter.
It is not good that funding and financial resources isn't adequate to provide the necessary research in order to develop a better and more plentiful population. This is a great opportunity that will be lost if Idaho cannot include this wildlife resource as a regular focus.

You are so WAY ahead of me with the weeding and I'm tickled for you.
Honestly, I get two or three beds done and have another 6 or 7 to do and I
already need to re-weed the first one. I find I have the most weeds in the
beds that were tilled. The no-till beds (lasagna beds) have the fewest
weeds even after all these years. Any more beds or extensions to beds I
make will be of the lasagna variety.
Bill and I were hoping to get the new flooring into the family room. We've
got most of the prep work done, but there weren't enough hours for us to get
the flooring down. Plan B is to do that next weekend, hopefully. (Grandboy
Brenden will be taking his First Communion, so we'll have to see whether we
need to postpone the flooring again.)

manage to get the arbor powerwashed. Also replaced the screen door on the

the fake fence surrounding the AC unit. (didn't actually get around to
replacing those, but maybe another weekend). Also got the side patio area
measured, so tomorrow PM I can finally go order the paver stones!! I hope
they can deliver this Friday, as I plan to take a 4-day weekend to get them
all laid. LONG overdue (like since last summer). I'm so sick of seeing the
sand bed and tracking sand in the house you just wouldn't believe it! So,
painting the arbor is on hold for now.
Oh- I did manage to get the entire front and back gardens weeded!! Yeah!

The Passport Office insisted it took security "extremely seriously" after it emerged that a passport, birth certificate and visa documents were sent to the wrong person.
The documents, intended for a Pakistani man living in Lancashire, were sent to nursery worker Sarah Threlfall in Broughton, North Wales.
The Passport Office is under fire over its handling of a backlog of applications, and Labour urged Home Secretary Theresa May to "get a grip" on the situation.
Mother-of-two Ms Threlfall told the North Wales Daily Post: "It is lucky that I am an honest person and will be returning the documents because if it were someone more unscrupulous then they could use his documents for anything."
She said the documents, which included a Pakistani passport and British visa, all arrived in the same envelope with both her and the Lancashire-based man's address on it.
Shadow immigration minister David Hanson said: "Sending someone else's passport details and documents to another person in the system is an appalling error. Disclosing individuals' personal details to a third party is a serious security breach as well as a breach of privacy.
"I want an urgent examination of how this has happened and what steps are being taken to ensure it doesn't happen again. This is another error on Theresa May's watch and everybody is wondering when she is going to get a grip of the Passport Office and solve these continuous problems of her own making."
A spokesman for Her Majesty's Passport Office said: "We take the security of the passport and the safety of the passport holder's personal information extremely seriously and we have robust procedures in place to protect personal data.
"Any suspected breach of security or loss of personal information is investigated thoroughly."
