Last week saw the Bristol Zoo Gardens Charity Gala Dinner take place, which raised a fantastic £15,000 for their conservation work with penguins in South Africa. Blom was more than happy to donate them with a framed aerial photograph of the zoo site in Bristol, and we were delighted to hear it raised £200 as part of a silent auction lot.
Blom has a long-standing relationship with Bristol Zoo; every year a group of staff from our UK office volunteer a day our of their busy schedules to help out at the great Wild Place attraction. Tasks range from laying paths, planting mazes and developing areas of play equipment. It's a fun day out for the staff as well as providing a much-needed service to what is a very worthy cause.

FORT WORTH -- Police wrote more than 1,100 tickets to people who were not wearing seat belts during the Click It Or Ticket campaign, city officials said.
A grant from Texas Department of Transportation helped the enforcement effort, which ran from May 21 to Sunday.
Three fatal collisions were reported during that time, and two were directly related to not wearing seat belts, police said.
A driver was ejected from a vehicle on Interstate 35W near Meacham Boulevard, and a passenger was ejected in the 3500 block of West Long Avenue, police said.
Ejection causes most life-threatening injuries in collisions, and wearing a seat belt can prevent ejection, police said.
Tickets included:
864 adults without seat belts
251 children without seat belts
394 speeding

I was invited to try out a site called W3kids.com. I thought on it a few days and then decided I would like to look more into it. My Niece & Nephew are home schooled. I thought this might be something fun for them to do as a fun exercise.
I agreed to do the review and went to the site.
My first impression was cute. They have it all fixed up with cute animals riding bikes, scooters and other items. Some of the Disney like characters are 3d. The colors are cute and the font is bold.
Both sides of the site has tabs that lets you choose what subject you would like to work on.
You will find all 3 R's there (Reading, Riting & Rithmatic). You will also find things like coloring and puzzles.
These site teaches the basics while also teaching children the use of technology, something we all should know a little about in todays world.
The site was developed by tech geek parents and an elementary school teacher. They focus on keeping kids focused and having fun as opposed to growing bored by standard books.
I noticed before reading, that the site was more focused on younger children. They say ages 2-10. All children are different and at different levels. Personally it was too young for my niece and my 8 year old nephew was just okay with it. He is at a higher level then some of the questions/problems and reading was.
I would have liked to have been a part of this when he was younger because I think this is the perfect site for parents to start using with their children early on, even preschool.
You do have to subscribe to use this website. One month will cost you $4.95 while 3 years will be $71.95 which makes that $1.99 a month and actually 50% off . I think that is a great deal if you look at the cost. I do have one main concern. That is the quality and quantity of the material on the site. I was given a 1 month membership to see what a member would receive. I wasn't able to go into another month to see if new material was added monthly. New books, New coloring pages etc. If they do then it would be worth it, especially if you have a 3 year old that can work until they are 6. If they don't I think a child will get bored doing same things over and over.
My suggestion to anyone considering starting their membership, would be to subscribe for the one month so they could judge for themselves. If they liked it then I would go for a longer subscription. Too bad they didn't off a free trial, maybe that is something they will do in the future?
Overall I think it is a cute site, with a great goal in mind. Anything educational and making education fun is okay in my book!
Disclaimer: I was able to review this website for a month before writing this post sharing my opinions about it. All opinions are my own and may or may not differ from yours.

About TruDenta Therapy
After Comprehensive Exam
Depending upon the severity of your diagnosis, patients receive a series of treatment therapies. You may require anywhere from one to twelve treatments which are completed weekly. Each TruDenta therapy session takes about than an hour to complete.
The therapy consists of a combination of low level laser therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, manual muscle therapy and micro-current. Each of these specifics were originally developed by MDs in sports medicine to speed the healing of joints and force related traumas. While the TMJ is the most complex joint in the body, it responds to therapies in a similar fashion as ankles, knees, shoulders, and other joints typically treated in sports medicine. Treatments are performed by staff members trained by TruDenta doctors at either the University of Nevada Las Vegas or NOVA Southeastern dental schools. TruDenta combines these with advanced dentistry to provide patients with predictable and long lasting outcomes.
"TruDenta has made a big difference to all of us at Malan Heights Dental. We value this comprehensive approach and, more importantly, we have loved having the ability to see patients finally getting relief from the pain they have endured for many years. It has truly been rewarding to know that we have made a difference in our patients lives."
Our TruDenta team at Malan Heights Dental want to make sure you fully understand your options with TruDenta before opting for treatment. Please do not hesitate to ask us any questions regarding TruDenta or any of our other treatments. We look forward to helping you return to the daily activities you love. Call us today to see if TruDenta is the right solution for you!
TruDenta For Dental Headaches
Head, Neck or Body Trauma
Vehicle accidents, sporting activities or even your baby bumping his/her head against yours can be causes of force related symptoms in the head, neck and jaw. The list of trauma causes is long. Current symptoms may have been created years ago by an event long since forgotten or dismissed as minor. Head, neck or jaw trauma can cause stretching or tearing of the ligaments and muscles along with other unseen and often undiagnosed force imbalances and impairments.
Age and Wear
As the body ages, so does the bite. Natural teeth wear at different rates from years of dental work. For example, fillings and crowns, can be made from amalgam, precious metals, ceramics, and other materials. The different rate of wear of the dental materials in the mouth cause improper alignment of the teeth. As we age, joints and cartilage are reduced in thickness. This changes angles and forces within the overall dentomandibular region. As you grow older, your teeth and bite change, potentially causing many of the headache and jaw pain symptoms which can be treated by our TruDenta certified practice.
Dental Repair and Orthodontics
Some of the causes of symptoms can be poor adaptation to completed dental work, aged restorative materials and, in some cases, from poor adaptation of the patient to orthodontic changes.
Stress, Diet, Posture and Frequent Computer Use
If you lead a stress free life, congratulations! You are less likely to have force related symptoms in your head, neck and jaw. For the other 99% of the world, stress and poor posture (such as sitting in front of a computer for hours) can result in many of the symptoms outlined above. Weight gain and improper eating habits can also contribute to your head, neck and jaw pain.

Now Hiring!
With unemployment falling, it's easier to find a job.
by Sally Mitani
From the December, 2017 issue
For years, the most common window signs in western Washtenaw advertised vacant spaces desperately seeking tenants. But lately that's changed to "Help Wanted" or some more urgent variant. At Aubree's in Dexter an oversized, flapping banner shouts "Employment Opportunities Now Available!!" In Saline, a placard and a chalkboard let anyone who passes know that Mac's is "Hiring Service Team Members."
For the first time since the Great Recession, talk of a labor shortage--rather than a job shortage--is in the air. Unemployment in Washtenaw County has dropped steadily from 8.1 percent in 2009 to 3.2 percent today, and U-M and state of Michigan white papers forecast labor shortages statewide.
Local senior housing facilities also are hungry for workers. Travis Ringler, executive chef at Brecon Village in Saline, says, "I would love to hire six or seven waitstaff, even if they only wanted two or three shifts a week"--a situation that traditionally worked for local high school kids. The pay starts at $9.50 per hour, and most make more. Cooks start off at $11.50 based on experience. While Brecon Village servers receive no tips, those who work full-time get benefits.
Asked where the glitch in the hiring pipeline is, Ringler says, "You name it, we experience it." First, there's a shortage of applicants. "We post on Craigslist, put flyers at churches, community centers." From there, "Some come in but can't pass background checks. Some work for three days and don't come back. Some don't show up for the first day."
"Oh, my God, you have no idea. What's going on with millennials?" asks an exasperated office assistant on the front lines of recruiting and retaining young workers. "Are they too good to work?"
She asked not to be identified for fear of losing her job, though why is she worried? Who would replace her?
Jeff Brown, president of Dexter Builders, says they have "been able to find people to do the lower-skill jobs," but skilled carpenters are hard
to find. "The pool wasn't very deep, and more people are hiring." Since the economy has turned around, "we've had better workers get offers from other companies. They think the grass is greener, and they leave."
Chelsea Milling, Chelsea's second-largest employer after the hospital, has vacancies posted on its website, but president Howdy Holmes says that doesn't mean they're experiencing a labor shortage. Holmes is the sixth generation of Holmeses in the flour milling business, and the maker of Jiffy mixes currently employs 320 people, most of whom are hourly. He doesn't have to constantly chase new hires, though, because "we don't have any turnover. The more effort you can put into finding and hiring the right people, the better off you are." He goes through his job vacancies one by one, ticking each off as either a new position or retiree replacement. The only exception is the annual call for a large number of holiday temps to handle baking high season.
Holmes points to another shortage, however. "Back in 1887, all of our employees would have lived locally," but now they can't afford to. He estimates that only twenty-six or twenty-seven Jiffy Mixers have addresses in Washtenaw County. Chelsea, he says, needs "more affordable housing. That's not a criticism; that's just a fact."
At Dexter A&W, manager Ashley Humphrey, who started working there seventeen years ago when she was fourteen, oversees as many as forty-six employees during peak season. She's developed a deep understanding of how jobs fit into young people's lives.
Each spring, when the drive-in reopens, most of her applicants are high school students applying for their first jobs. That means Humphrey has to train them not just how to perform tasks, but "what it means to have a job. I talk to them about how to balance a schedule: Do you have a lot of tests this week? Do you have projects coming up? Make it easy for me to schedule you."
And she works to meet her young staffers' needs. "When I was coming up, the motivation was to make as much money as I could to get out from under my parents," she says. Now, she says, young people are looking for social rewards: they want to make friends and have fun at work. "They want to be praised. I engage them in social media."
While she hasn't seen a fall-off in those first-job applicants with the economic recovery, she is seeing fewer older people looking to the A&W as a second job. But some people start in one category and graduate to the second.
Carhop Christina Bourgoyne, twenty-seven, has worked at A&W for twelve years, twenty-five to thirty hours a week. The mother of a three-year-old, she appreciates that she can work a five-hour shift starting at 11 a.m. She went to school to be a dental assistant and did that for a year, but came back to A&W, because "I make twice as much here. Carhopping averages $30-$35 an hour [with tips]. I have a 401k here. Because of Obamacare, health care is the same wherever I go." Bourgoyne says she's always had a second job, and pays for full-time daycare, but her fluctuating wages are cushioned because "I live with my boyfriend and have a couple of roommates. I got lucky; I pay less than $500 a month to live in Chelsea."
Shawnda Aldrich, twenty-nine, has a similar story. "I pretty much work full-time" at the A&W when it's open, even earning some overtime, for which she is paid time and a half. When the A&W closes for the winter, Aldrich says, she will look for seasonal employment, "closer to home" in Stockbridge. Like Bourgoyne, Aldrich shares expenses with a boyfriend. "It's hard to get jobs that you can actually live on," she says.
For more than twenty-five years, Linda Shears has worked at Dexter A&W when she's not helping to run her husband's plumbing business. She echoes Jeff Brown's perception that the real labor shortage is in the skilled building trades, especially tile setters. "Companies are willing to train people," she says, "but somehow they've got to get the word out."
They've also got to deal with the realities of the building trades. Shawnda Aldrich's boyfriend is a manager in a construction business. "He used to be a roofer," she notes. "He won't go back to that. It's hard on your body."
A labor shortage means the demand for workers exceeds the supply at the current price, says a U-M economist who asked not to be named or quoted directly. That emphasis on price is an important part of the equation. Some Americans dropped out of the labor force when the recession hit and never climbed back in.
The shy economist says one solution for a shortage of workers is easy: offer more money. In Ann Arbor, several stores and fast-food places are sporting sandwich boards advertising jobs at $11 an hour, up from $10 or less a year ago.
While that doesn't seem to be happening yet out-county, savvy employers are offering what seems to be an even rarer commodity, a pleasant working environment. Humphrey at A&W thinks hard about rewarding her millennials in non-monetary ways, though if the earnings her employees report are accurate and consistent, they're also well paid--at least in drive-in season.
At Chelsea Milling, Howdy Holmes dodges questions about pay, but says they spend a lot of time on hiring, training, and retaining. He uses personality tests like Myers-Briggs and 16PF to hire, and has "a director of personal development--that's 'personal' not 'personnel,'" he emphasizes--"primarily responsible for enhancing skill sets, managing career paths, providing resources."
If that sounds like boring HR talk, in plainer language it means that Chelsea Milling offers on-site classes during work hours. A few teach work-useful subjects like computer skills and managing stress, but most fall under the heading of personal growth, from mindfulness to yoga.
The beauty of it, Holmes says, is that "if we can assist someone in broadening their horizons, they become a better mom, a better friend--and, by the way, a better employee."

Wine Hotels in the Rhone Valley
Running from the foodie superstar-city of Lyon through to the northern reaches of Provence, the Rhône valley contains some of France's oldest vineyards. Covering such a long stretch of country means that the wine hotels in the Rhone valley are similarly scattered across a wide area. One of the nicest ways to enjoy the area is to take a leisurely drive between them.
Between Vienne and Valence you'll find appellations such as Côte Rotie, Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage. Further south, as you slip into Provence, the large village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape - named after the summer palace of the Avignon popes - gives its name to the biggest appellation in the southern Rhône.
Its rich red wines, redolent of the south's heat and herbs, are made from several grape varieties, predominantly Grenache, syrah and Mourvèdre. Also in the south are the vineyards of the Côtes de Rhône Villages.
Rhone valley wine hotels for foodies
Lyon boasts a cornucopia of cooking hot-spots. For our pick of wine hotels in the Rhone Valley for foodies, we've chosen two hotels with Michelin-starred restaurants so you don't have to walk far for supper.
- Villa Florentine, a former convent converted with panache which also has an infinity pool;
- and Cour des Loges, a sumptuous mini-palace with courtyard dining room, spa and rooftop garden.
Further south
- in Valence, food-lovers will make a beeline for Maison Pic, the sleek designer hotel where chef Anne-Sophie Pic heads its three-Michelin-starred restaurant.
Rhône valley wine hotels for romance and relaxation
- Close to Bollène, Château de Massillan is a romantic château with elegantly cool interiors, covered terrace, large pool and turret bedrooms.
- Staying at Maison Felisa, near Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres, is like being invited to the country house of a friend who has effortless contemporary taste. Rooms are chic, the atmosphere relaxed, and terraces and quiet garden corners abound.
- Indoor and outdoor pools, a hamman and a Jacuzzi are just some of the things that make Justin de Provence, a converted Provencal farmhouse, a place where you will totally switch off. Rooms are a mix of rustic and vintage, much restored by the artist owners.
Rhône valley wine hotels for château-lovers
- Château de Varenne, near Châteauneuf-du-Pape, is all picture-perfect blue shutters, pale stone and secret terraces. Rooms have a pretty Provencal feel plus there are idyllic gardens, a pool and wine tours.
- In the same region, and surrounded by its own vineyards, Château Talaud has five vast and luxurious, antique-strewn rooms. Windows overlook manicured gardens which contain two 18th-century spring-water filled pools. Dinners are served in the summer months and there are several self-catering properties if you prefer.
Rhône Valley wine hotels for good value
It's not all top notch, luxury chateaux here. There are plenty of options amongst our selection of wine hotels in the Rhone Valley to suit all tastes and budgets.
- In the charming village of Albon, Domaine des Buis is a relaxed, traditional townhouse with just five rooms and a quiet pool amidst gardens. Breakfast is provided and you can rustle up your own suppers.
- Jacques and Laurence Deschamps are partly responsible for the warm, welcoming atmosphere at Piolenc's Auberge de l'Orangerie, a simple, cosy inn of rough stone walls and terracotta floors. The vaulted dining room serves up excellent food, plus there are wine-tasting opportunities.
- Les Florêts, set amongst the hotel's own vineyards near Gigondas, is a family-run hotel with pool, stunning views and a terrace dining room.
Unusual Rhône valley wine hotels
- Maison de la Pra, in Valence, is an imaginative conversion of a 16th-century mansion where exposed stone and rafters combine with striking colours and contemporary lighting.
- To the east of the Rhône, in the Dentelles de Montmirail, near Beaumes-de-Venise, and high above vineyards, Le Clos Saint Saourde is a striking hotel that has been built into the rock face. Expect rustic-chic rooms with plenty of exposed stone and open rafters.
The charm and attraction of this region's wines are their sheer variety. And the wine hotels of the Rhone valley reflect this in spades. Nothing here that fits the bill? Check out our ultimate guide to wine hotels in France for a full selection. Alternatively call or email a friendly guru for advice.

The vision for this blog is simple: it is meant to glorify God. Specifically, I desire to use this blog to encourage Christian ladies in modesty, femininity, and fashion. In the culture of today, modesty is shunned and femininity put under lock and key. I believe that God calls Christian ladies to dress with modesty and femininity. :) (see "My Beliefs" to find out why) Many people have the misconception that modesty cannot go hand in hand with style. :/ I disagree completely! Women can dress modestly and fashionably. My desire is to encourage women of all ages to go against the mandates of society, and instead follow God's principles for their lives. Please take a look around my blog and hopefully be inspired! :) Oh, and please leave a comment! I love them. :D
God Bless!

Over the next few weeks I'll be out and about in the constituency meeting local people in areas such as Messingham and Lakeside. Keep an eye open for a card through your door, I may be coming to your street and I'm happy to drop by for a chat.
I'll also be visiting local businesses and employers such as British Steel and the Brigg Renewables Energy Plant and running several constituent surgeries.
The summer holidays can be a testing time for parents and, increasingly so, for grandparents who often have to take on the role of entertainment managers for the next few weeks.
There is a lot going on around the area: puppet making, becoming a Ghost Buster, the petting zoo at Normanby Hall, activities for under-fives at the museum and many more.
If you want the children more appreciative of their nice modern school when they have to go back at the end of the holidays, what about a visit to the Wilderspin School at Barton where they'll be able to see what school life used to be like. Every Thursday during the summer holidays children aged 5-13 can try out one of the several crafts their parents or grandparents will recall – at school or in the home. It's a very interesting experience, and perhaps a walk down memory lane, for the adults too.
All these activities and many more can be checked out at: http://www.northlincs.gov.uk/tourism-museums-and-the-arts/whats-on/whats-on-in-north-lincolnshire/
Jessica, who volunteers in my Scunthorpe office, has been doing some courses in Leeds on benefits. In spite of the vagaries of the transport system - delays, cancelled trains and bus replacements she seems to have enjoyed the experience and is looking forward to putting her new-found knowledge into practice.

These RosaHD mutant mice allow cre-conditional expression of the neuropathogenic mhtt-exon1 protein and may be useful in studying Huntington's disease or other polyQ disorders.
X. William Yang, University of California Los Angeles
|Genetic Background
|Allele Type
|Gene Symbol
|Gene Name
|Targeted (Conditional ready (e.g. floxed), Humanized sequence, Inserted expressed sequence)
|gene trap ROSA 26, Philippe Soriano
Mice heterozygous for the RosaHD mutant allele are viable and fertile. These mice have the neuropathogenic polyQ-mutant variant of the human Huntingtin protein (mhtt-exon1; 103Q) inserted into the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus. Expression of mhtt-exon1 is blocked by an upstream loxP-flanked transcriptional STOP sequence. When bred to mice with a Cre recombinase gene under the control of a promoter of interest, the STOP sequence is deleted in the tissue of interest, and mhtt-exon1 expression is observed. As these RosaHD mutant mice allow cre-conditional expression of the neuropathogenic mhtt-exon1 protein, they may be useful in studying Huntington's disease (HD) or other polyQ disorders. Of note, sequencing of the polyQ region (using mice from the 11th backcross) indicate the actual number of repeats to be 98.
For example, when bred to strains expressing cre in brain tissues (such as Nestin-Cre (see Stock No. 003771) or Emx1-Cre (see Stock No. 005628), bi-transgenic offspring show pathological cell-cell interactions critically contribute to cortical pathogenesis of HD.
A targeting vector was designed with a loxP-flanked transcriptional STOP sequence immediately upstream of a polyQ-mutant form of the human Huntingtin protein exon 1 (mhtt-exon1) sequence (containing 103 mixed CAA-CAG repeats, each encoding glutamine), all followed by a polyadenylation sequence. This targeting construct was incorporated into the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus via electroporation into (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were microinjected into C57BL/6J blastocysts. The resulting "RosaHD" mutant mice were subsequently backcrossed to C57BL/6J mice for at least 11 generations prior to arrival at The Jackson Laboratory. Of note, sequencing of the polyQ region (using mice from the 11th backcross) indicate the actual number of repeats to be 98.

When these mice are bred with animals expressing cre under the control of a promoter of interest, The STOP signal is deleted in tissue of interest allowing conditional expression of mhtt1-exon1.

the reasonI deleted counter on my blog few months ago and replaced it with a new one. It was random, but I also deleted nearly all my old posts.
I can tell you why. I wanna start all over again. I intended to create a new blog, meanwhile I still wanted to keep my old blog... It's been there for me for years now. My blog is my virtual best friend. You know. That's the reason I replaced the counter. Just as a sign that everything starts from zero. Brand new one.
So my old blog is turning kinda new right now. HA :D
Cutest punk kid I've ever seen.
Anyway, my blog hits almost 4000 viewers. Not that the main point I'm blogging is to attract as many viewers as I can, but that somehow keeps me motivated to blog. Cheers to everyone! x

Kudos to Sony. It took them long enough, but they finally dropped price to $299 and came out with a smaller, more power-efficient console, the long-rumored PS3 Slim. Because Sony is focused on profitability at a time when the corporation is losing money, they first got their manufacturing costs down before making the move publishers, analysts, and customers alike were waiting for.
The $299 Sony PS3 Slim: Late to the party, but not unwelcome
Sony made other good moves at Gamescom, coming up short on only one major item: failing to provide PS2 backward compatibility via software in its latest firmware update. The family that's still using its PS2 doesn't want to throw out its huge library of games, but nor do they want to have two consoles to try to plug into their TV or receiver. Sure, they could shift the PS2 to the kids' room, but in today's economy people want to see maximum value for their purchase. Sony can argue (and rationally so) that the Blu-ray capability of the PS3 makes the system a great value. And it's true. But when trying to convince late adopters to pick up a PS3, letting them know they can play all their PS2 games (which every person tempted to buy a PS3 will have) on their new system is a good argument.
Back to the other Sony moves. The PSPgo app store with iPhone-like pricing and size is a good move, although a copycat one. But better copying someone else's strategy than sticking with the UMD forever. I like it for small developers because for what should be a manageable port (fingers crossed on that one) they can expand the size of their potential market while putting their games on a device that's actually made for gaming (with real buttons and a D-Pad). Of course, I imagine the crossover between iPhone owners and PSP owners is fairly substantial but the market will be increased nonetheless. For anyone to be able to stay in business making quality games the median price will have to rise above $2, but that's another discussion.
With Sony's film offerings for Europe, PSN cards that kids can buy at shops without a credit card, and a €299 (£249 in the UK) console price, Sony has put the pieces in place to strengthen their hand in Europe, where the PS2 brand is strong. I can see Sony being the #2 console in Europe this console cycle.
What I can't see is the company overtaking the PlayStation 360 in the US. Microsoft has a big lead, their audience skews younger than Sony's, and they have a strong games lineup and good online services for their paying customers. If MS offered everyone Gold services for free, it would be game over. They could still make money with upcharges for things like Netflix, although the revenue would be far less than they're making from Gold. But as long as they continue to hold steady on sales I don't see them changing…
Unless Nintendo stumbles horribly they'll remain #1 worldwide. Microsoft will be a strong #2 in the US and Sony may become #2 in Europe. Sony has the PSP market to flank Microsoft with, but MS may eventually get a viable HH platform themselves. Zune HD? I don't know; we'll see.
Sony should see a sales lift from their price cuts but it won't catapult them into the lead unless they have exclusive games that are so absolutely killer that anyone who loves games can't live without them. If their video offerings become so compelling that you can service all your entertainment needs with a single device, then they could also take the lead in new consoles sold (not total consoles sold; new consoles sold from here on out).
But with the lack of purchasing power of US households it's a hard time to be hawking $300 machines. The great recession is not going anywhere; over $13 trillion of household wealth has vanished in the US the past couple years and it's not returning soon. The so-called 'green shoots' lauded in the mainstream press are a figment of Fed policy that has pumped a tremendous amount of money back into the financial sector. Having no place to go, it got pushed into stocks. But it didn't go into consumer pockets and a consumer-driven economy needs low unemployment and higher wages to thrive. Unfortunately, neither of those will arrive in the near future.
However, for a company willing to invest, a down economy offers the opportunity to grow a brand. The New Yorker had an interesting article in April about the success Kellogg had in outspending Post to take a huge chunk of their market share during the Great Depression. When other business cut ad spending, Kellogg increased theirs and boosted profit by 30%, and they kept their increased market share after the depression was over.
Does a similar possibility await Sony or another console maker this cycle? I would argue that Nintendo has already done just that. They came out with the cheapest console, made it fun, and advertised the heck of out it. The battle from here on out is about maximizing the remaining sales in the market And for this, the $299 price helps, but it's not yet low enough to move millions of consoles in a down economy. Not when you still have to pay $60 for a AAA game.
But a PS3 for $299 with God of War and some other extras? That would be a step in the right direction.

Part I … Looking back at the trade deadline … the movers
The March 1st NHL trade deadline fell well short of expectations, as big names such as Matt Duchene, Gabriel Landeskog, Marc-Andre Fleury and Evander Kane did not get moved and most of the deals involved players with expiring contracts.
A number of teams were able to make moves that could have positive impact on their bid for the post-season or winning the Stanley Cup, but just as many did little or nothing to improve their chances or sell rentals for any kind of return.
The NHL trade deadline movers …
Washington Capitals – The Capitals made the biggest splash of the deadline, trading a 1st , 2nd and two minor leaguers for defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk. This deal was as much about keeping Shattenkirk away from teams in direct competition (the Rangers and possibly the Penguins) as it was bolstering an already solid defensive corps.
Shattenkirk will quarterback the Caps power play, which should allow John Carlson to see more ice time in five-on-five situations.
Los Angeles Kings – The Kings gave up next to nothing to get Jarome Iginla from Colorado and defensive prospect Erik Cernak to get some goalie insurance in Ben Bishop.
The veteran winger has already paid dividends, scoring a pair of goals in an overtime win over Nashville last week. Iginia is no longer the point-per-game player he was in his Calgary days, but the veteran could provide a key goal here or there like Vincent Lecavalier did a year ago. That could be the difference between the Kings sneaking in or not.
Jonathan Quick appears to be close to 100%, but groin injuries can reoccur, especially with someone as acrobatic as Quick is.
Vancouver Canucks – Canucks GM Jim Benning finally did what many of the Vancouver fan base wanted him to do and sell some veterans for young prospects.
Benning did not move goalie Ryan Miller, because the goaltender market was stagnant, but shipped winger Alex Burrows to Ottawa for promising youngster Jonathan Dahlen and moved forward Jannik Hansen to San Jose for prospect Nikolay Goldobin and a conditional draft pick.
Now if only he had not signed Loui Eriksson to a six-year contract.
Detroit Red Wings – Wings GM Ken Holland is not accustomed to being a seller at the deadline, but he did a decent job in stockpiling draft picks for the expiring contracts of Thomas Vanek, Tomas Jurco, Steve Ott and Brendan Smith.
Now Holland just has to find this generation's Nicklas Lidstrom, Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk in the late rounds to prevent the Wings from missing the playoffs the next 25 years.
Minnesota Wild – The Wild gave up three draft picks to Arizona for Martin Hanzal and Ryan White, but they were able to do that since they have youngsters like Joel Eriksson-Ek, Jordan Greenway, Kirill Kaprizov and Alex Tuch already in the pipeline.
Hanzal is not a star, but gives Bruce Boudreau depth up the middle after Mikko Koivu and Eric Staal, which will be needed if Minnesota is to get past Chicago.

Superstar Beyonce has quietly parted ways with her longtime business manager after a decade.
Lee Anne Callahan-Longo was promoted to the position of the Halo singer's general manager in 2011, after Beyonce cut ties professionally with her dad, Mathew Knowles, who had overseen her rise to fame with Destiny's Child and the launch of her subsequent solo career.
However, the 34-year-old has since given her management team a complete makeover, hiring former JPMorgan Chase executive Steve Pamon for her Parkwood Entertainment company in late 2015. He previously served as the financial firm's head of sports and entertainment marketing, and set up the bank's sponsorship of Beyonce and husband Jay Z's joint On The Run Tour in 2014.
"Beyonce basically cleaned house, got rid of her whole team, which included her cousin, and hired a new team," a source tells the New York Post's Page Six column. "She wants to surround herself with business people who could take her career to an even higher level.
"She has one album left to deliver before her deal is up with Columbia (Records), plus she wants to make smarter decisions where it comes to touring, sponsorships and acting roles."
Other recent hires include Peter Thea, formerly of Universal Republic and Island Def Jam, and industry veteran Dan Ghosh-Roy, who is now in charge of Beyonce's digital operation.
A statement released by her representative, Yvette Noel-Schure, reads: "Last year, Parkwood Entertainment created new departments and recruited new executives from the tech, business and entertainment sectors, who joined the team to help grow Parkwood and its interests... Some senior staffers were given the opportunity to reposition and stay on. Some members... awakened (to) new interests and decided to follow personal routes.
"Lee Anne Callahan-Longo has worked with Beyonce for the last 10 years. Their friendship supersedes business, and while she is no longer an employee of Parkwood, she will remain an imperative part of Beyonce's life."
The news of the management shake up emerges as Beyonce prepares to return to the Super Bowl stage with Coldplay on Sunday (07Feb16), three years after headlining the half-time show herself and staging a mini Destiny's Child reunion.

Killing Him Didn't Make The Love Go Away
Only once in a while does a song come along that is so raving good it makes you stop in your tracks to listen again… and again. There are users in places like last.fm that have listened to it more than 500 times – it hasn't even been out that long. The song is Killing Him by Amy Lavere from her album Anchors & Anvils.
The evocative lyrics come from a true story about a woman that killed her husband. Amy Lavere saw her on TV being escorted away, shouting, "killing him didn't make the love go away!" Powerful words. To which Texan singer/songwriter/actress Lavere added some more cutting lyrics ["she'd have to kill him to make him stay"] and delivered it with a voice that sounds almost too innocent for the story. But it is this combination – strong lyrics with an americana presentation – that makes this song a rave.

Lines of wealth - how to make out?
Palmistry (from other Greek hand and fortune telling, prophecy) is one of the oldest systems of divination about the individual features of a person, the features of his character, the experiences he experienced and his future fate in the skin relief of the palms - the papillary and especially the flexor lines, and the hills in the palm of your hand and in appearance. One of the directions of chirosophy.
The richness of the fate is not indicated by a specific line, but by a number of signs that can be used to predict success in financial affairs, as well as luck or entrepreneurial abilities.
You can often hear about people: "Money flows into your hands". Or vice versa, some earn a lot, and the finances "How to flow through your fingers". The financial "fate" of any person can be predicted by looking at the line in the palm of your hand.
On the human hand there are many lines - clear and jerky, bright and almost invisible. Lines associated with wealth, you can immediately not see. The richness of the fate is not indicated by a specific line, but by a number of signs that can be used to predict success in financial affairs, as well as luck or entrepreneurial abilities.
To see these signs, you need to carefully examine your palm. If a person's line of destiny comes from the same point as the life line, he is a real lucky one in financial affairs. He is accompanied by luck and success in all endeavors.
If the line of the mind branches in the direction of the little finger, most likely the owner of such a drawing on his hand has an extraordinary monetary talent and can safely risk financial issues, he will certainly be lucky.
If the branch to the index finger branches off from the same line of mind, this is also a sign of wealth, but it speaks of the stability and reliability of the material state.
The most convincing sign, saying that its owner is destined for a rich life and stable security - is a "triangle of wealth." It is formed from a combination of three clear lines - mind, life and destiny. Depending on which hand the triangle is formed on, it has its own meaning. If he is on his left hand, then wealth is destined for him. If it is delineated on the right - it means that its owner makes many unsuccessful efforts in achieving wealth.
The integrity and closure of the triangle matters. If it is not torn, this indicates that a person is able not only to earn big money, but also to save them, and also to multiply. If he is not closed or one of the lines is interrupted, it means that he can earn money, but they will constantly flow away from him, or he will not be able to use them competently. Perhaps, and money will be, and the business is stable, and partners are unreliable.
It should always be remembered that money is a great, powerful, and sometimes dangerous element that can both raise and drop a person. Therefore, if there is no money mark on the hand, do not despair, perhaps this is salvation from the fall.
Tell this information to your friends, let them look for their fateful signs on their hands.

Excerpt of article from CBC News below - see full article at: http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/story/2011/11/23/retail-black-friday-canada.html
Canadian retailers plan Black Friday deals
The Canadian Press
Posted: Nov 23, 2011 8:13 AM ET
Last Updated: Nov 23, 2011 8:13 AM ET
For the most dedicated of deal hunters, Black Friday is hands down the biggest shopping day of the year and will mean trekking to the U.S. to fight massive crowds, waiting for hours in long lines and — hopefully — scoring some major bargains.
For everyone else, it'll be fairly easy to find some Black Friday sales close to home — they just might be called something else.
While the deals likely won't be quite as good and most sales aren't actually being labelled with the Black Friday moniker, it's no coincidence that a bevy of Canadian retailers are all touting some of their biggest discounts of the year this coming weekend.
Black Friday, an American shopping holiday on the day after their Thanksgiving, is used by retailers to unofficially launch the holiday shopping season. For consumers, it usually means rock bottom prices, which regularly lead to stampedes, assaults and parking-lot robberies.
Key retail season
Canadian retailers have increasingly bought into the Black Friday hype — as well as Cyber Monday, a day of online sales to cap off the shopping weekend — and this year, few of the major names are opting out.
"What we've seen every single year is more and more growth in participation for Black Friday and Cyber Monday and we'll see the same this year, that's what all the signs are pointing to," said Derek Szeto, founder the online shopping site Redflagdeals.com, which is hosting flyers and discussions about this weekend's deals.
Among the stores planning on Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales are Amazon.ca, Apple.ca, Banana Republic, Best Buy, the Body Shop, Canadian Tire, Chapters and Indigo, Dell.ca, Future Shop, the Gap, Home Outfitters, La Senza, Lululemon Athletica, Old Navy, PetSmart, Sears, Sephora, The Source, Sport Chek, Sport Mart, Toys "R" Us, Walmart and Zellers. To name a few.
According to a recent survey commissioned by Visa Canada, about a third of Canadian online shoppers said they were likely to shop at American retailers between Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Some web shoppers are already doing their homework and eyeing the upcoming sales prices in the U.S. Szeto notes that Google statistics for the last few years show Canadian searches for Black Friday are now exceeding searches for Boxing Day.
But it'll be difficult for Canadian retailers to match some of the deepest U.S. discounts, which might explain why most stores aren't using the term Black Friday in their advertising.
Sears Canada is one of the exceptions and spokesman Vincent Power said there is a danger in committing to being a part of the U.S. shopping trend but then not going all in.
"If stores try to go out and call it 'Black Friday' and it's not a big enough deal then I think you risk people perhaps suggesting that you've got to give it a better effort," Power said, adding that it's just the second year that Sears has used Black Friday in its ads.
"Relative to the Canadian marketplace, the deals we have in that time-frame are as good as deals you'd see on Boxing Day, we're talking about the same price level.
"I think we can proudly say we participate relatively as aggressively as they do in the States."

Jacob Bojesson – May 28, 2017
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Europe "must take its fate into its own hands" Sunday as the U.S. and the United Kingdom are looking after their own interests.
Merkel warned of changing relations after Brexit and the election of President Donald Trump. She said a division within the western alliance became evident during the G7 meeting in Italy this weekend.
"The times in which we could completely depend on others are on the way out. I've experienced that in the last few days," Merkel said at a campaign rally in Munich. "We Europeans truly have to take our fate into our own hands."
While Europe will stay close to its traditional allies, "we have to fight for our own destiny," according to Merkel.
She described climate talks with Trump during the G7 as "very unsatisfying" Saturday. Trump left the summit as the only leader to not commit to the Paris Agreement.

Almost lost in the spectacular game by Anthony Davis on Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons was the continued excellent play of point guard Tyreke Evans.
While many Pelicans played well during the stretch from Feb. 23 to March 2, when Davis was out for the second time three weeks with a right shoulder sprain, Evans was the catalyst with his ball-handling, assists and the constant pressure he put on defenses.
Davis had 39 points, 13 rebounds, eight blocks and three steals in his return against Detroit. However, Evans backed him with 21 points and nine assists. His drives to the basket got Davis open for both his big jump shots in the game's final 1:14, and Evans scored on a drive in between.
"I talked to those two about that (Thursday morning), how they have to appreciate each other and everybody on the team," coach Monty Williams said as the Pelicans prepared for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics at the Smoothie King Center, with the Memphis Grizzlies coming in on Saturday night. "Tyreke had a really good game."
As Davis showed Wednesday night, he can carry the Pelicans and also gives them an MVP-type closer, offensively and defensively, for late-game situations. With 21 games left, each carries much significance as New Orleans fights experienced Oklahoma City for the Western Conference's eighth and final playoff spot.
However, an interesting thing occurred while Davis was out. The team found its identity, Williams and Evans said.
"I think we know our game, guys know their roles," Evans said. "Guys don't do anything overboard on the team."
Williams said that after winning without Davis and after his performance in his first game back, it's still a team winning in different ways and learning how to win in different ways.
"I think we're growing that way, with different guys being able to step up and play off those guys, knowing when a guy has a hot hand and learning how to play off that," he said.
"The one thing I've told our guys that we've got to hold on to since before the break is playing for each other and playing hard every night. An identity for us has always been playing hard. I don't think we played for each other early in the season."
And he doesn't want to revert to that now.
Evans' improvement as a point guard has been crucial to the team's chemistry, its trust of each other, and the resulting wins. Starting point guard Jrue Holiday has been out with a stress reaction in his right lower leg since Jan. 14.
That's when Evans became the starting point guard. It took six games for him to settle in, but since Jan. 25, he has had double-figure assists 10 times in 18 games. It's been key in the excellent ball movement of late that has enabled the Pelicans to win and grow.
During the current stretch in which New Orleans has won six of seven games, Evans has averaged 17.7 points but also an impressive 9.3 assists.
"We've talked to him about that all year long, how he can be an efficient player by getting off of the ball and scoring," Williams said. "Tyreke, for most of his career, has been a scorer. When you have guys out there on the floor that can make your job easier, it makes the game more fun."
Not counting the end of last season, Evans was last a point guard for a long stretch during his Rookie of the Year season with Sacramento in 2009-10. He averaged 20.1 points, but just 5.8 assists.
Experience has made a difference and he is relishing being in the fight for the playoffs for the first time.
"I just know when to go, when to score, when to pass," he said. "I'm just doing a good job of reading the defense. On the break, guys have been running, and I've been giving up, getting assists."
A victory against the Celtics (24-35) would avenge a 108-100 setback on Jan. 12 at Boston, Holiday's last game. That came the Pelicans knocked off the Memphis Grizzlies, the No. 2 team in the West, three nights earlier at the Smoothie King as part of a head-scratching scenario of losses to lesser lights that defined the early season.
Now, with Memphis (43-17) the foe Saturday, things are reversed and part of a back-to-back, the Pelicans' 12th this season. However, for the only time this season, it's a home back-to-back, and the Pelicans are 21-10 and on a four-game winning streak at Smoothie King.
