My father, Alfred ?Bud? Weiss, owned a car dealership ? ?Bud?s Cadillacs? of Miami, Florida. When I?d drop by the office, he would usually pepper me with bits of business wisdom, but as a kid, I wasn?t very receptive. My head was usually buried in a comic book, only half listening. However, there was one story that stuck with me and I have struggled to make sense out of it throughout my business career: ?Son, you never, ever promote your best salesperson to be the sales manager. This is a classic mistake that other car dealers make. A bunch of my top producers came from their failed attempts as sales managers at other places. You commit two wrongs with these promotions: First, you take your top producer ? someone raking in two to five times the average salesperson ? off the sales floor. Second, you put them in a new job that they are totally unqualified to do successfully. This usually ends in disaster for everyone involved.?

There’s no doubting that the cause of renewable energy is a noble one. But, ethics aside, it also gives birth to the occasional technical marvel. Altaeros Energies, a company from Massachusetts (with MIT and Harvard blood in its veins) has created one such curiosity. The prototype is a wind-turbine that doesn’t just languish on a hill-top, cutting a line in the horizon. No, this one has a helium-filled outer-section which allows it to deploy itself to 1,000 feet, where it can benefit from stronger, more consistent winds and gives nearly twice the power yields of its land bound brethren. That’s all very nice, but we just thought it looked dang cool in action.

In the space of about a year, Bluetooth and AirPlay wireless speaker docks have begun to replace old-fashioned wired systems. Bluetooth’s streaming quality has improved so much that this isn’t a bad thing. Now Monster has joined the fray. At $449.95 (direct), the Beats by Dr. Dre Beatbox Portable from Monster is just as expensive as its non-wireless sibling, the Beatbox by Dr. Dre from Monster ($449.95, 4 stars). It’s not as powerful as the Beatbox, but it’s smaller and portable. Unfortunately, one stipulation of its portability is the need for six D-cell batteries (yes, the big ones), and the Beatbox Portable also suffers from audible hiss when its volume level is high. But it otherwise sounds quite good, with a heavy bass presence and sculpted highs.

Design
The Beatbox Portable is sort of wedge-shaped, like a triangle missing one of its points. It comes in two colors: Black and red, or white and gray (our sample’s color scheme). Both models feature the indented Beats logo on the front panel’s metallic speaker grille. The top panel houses an iPhone and iPod dock, though you can also stream via Bluetooth from just about any modern mobile device or computer. Overall, it’s a stylish-looking system, and its portability is at least aided by sturdy handles built into either side for easy carrying.

The system ships with eight adapter trays for various models of iPods and iPhones, a simple remote control for docked devices, and a power adapter, which connects on the back panel, near the 3.5mm Aux input. The remote doesn’t navigate menus and only controls playback, but since this is primarily a wireless system that turns your mobile device into its own remote, we can let it slide.

As mentioned earlier, the system requires a whopping six D-cell batteries to power it on-the-go. That’s going to make it a bit heavier, and it’s not exactly environmentally-sound, either. It’s the second portable system in recent memory to rely on six D-cell batteries?the significantly less expensive House of Marley Bag of Rhythm ($349.99, 3 stars) does as well. The Beatbox’s battery compartment is on the bottom panel, and can be unscrewed with a coin or even a fingernail.

Performance
While the Beatbox Portable is without a doubt a powerful speaker dock, it’s far from flawless. Like most Beats products, the bass?as well as the treble?is seriously tweaked, so audiophiles seeking flat response systems should steer clear. If you’re looking for a great party system, however, the Beatbox Portable is an appropriate choice. Even so, it suffers from a minor hint of distortion at maximum volume on deep bass tracks like The Knife’s “Silent Shout,” so little that many people won’t notice. At maximum volume on deep bass tracks, the system vibrates slightly, not unlike the aforementioned Bag of Rhythm , but not nearly as dramatically. This vibration can be easily mistaken for speaker distortion, but it’s really a case of the speakers rattling the enclosure a bit.

Other issues are more obvious. Speaker hiss is a problem that a wireless speaker in this price range shouldn’t have. At maximum volume, it’s audible even when music plays?regardless of what volume level your mobile Bluetooth device is set to. Compared with the JBL OnBeat Extreme ($499.95, 4.5 stars), our Editors’ Choice for wireless docks?which has no audible hiss?the Beatbox is quite noisy. If you lower the system’s volume, the hiss becomes less of a nuisance, but it’s still there. It’s especially noticeable on quieter tracks, such as with classical music. Your best bet is to max out the volume from your streaming device and keep the volume on the system itself lower.

All hiss aside, John Adams’ “The Chairman Dances” can sound a tad harsh at top volumes?the higher register instruments get quite a bit of boost, so the brassy highs and mids can be intense. It sounds better at moderate volumes, where the low frequencies are present but not overwhelming and the sculpted highs seem less exaggerated.

The Knife’s “Silent Shout” has a deep bass thud that sounds extremely powerful on the Beatbox Portable. At top volume, there is the tiniest hint of distortion?not nearly as prevalent as it is on another recent wireless speaker dock, the Logitech UE Air Speaker ($399.99, 3.5 stars). Here, the bass barely distorts, and adjusting the volume just a hair solves the minor issue. Can it blast deep bass music at top volume and still sound good? Yes, but if occasional distortion is going to bother you?and at this price, that’s a fair issue to have?you might be better off with the JBL OnBeat Xtreme .

If portability is a must and the six battery requirement seems like a drag, Bose’s SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker ($299.95, 4 stars) is rechargeable and also streams via Bluetooth. It’s smaller and slightly less powerful, but suffers no distortion issues at all. The Beatbox Portable is no slouch, but at a much lower price, Bose manages avoid the hiss and provide strong audio performance without the six battery arsenal.

Dog

Canine hygiene is an important factor in your pet dog?s life. Cleanliness contributes to?the overall health of your pet and keeps bacteria and other types of organisms away. Shampoo is the best way to keep your dog clean and smelling good.

Dogs love to play hard and that means getting dirty and stinky. Using the right type of shampoo will help keep away the rather distinct dog smell that can almost always rub off on your carpets, furniture, and clothing. If your dog has some form of skin infection, dandruff, yeast infection, skin parasites, or allergies, choosing the correct shampoo is essential.

Dog Shampoo vs. Human Shampoo

Canines require a different pH level in shampoo compared to that of people. Human shampoos usually have stronger components which are not specific for your dog?s needs.? There are shampoos that are specifically formulated for the type of pH balance needed to make your dog?s coat shinier, and healthier. This leaves your pet smelling so good and softer to the touch, making it more huggable!

The Best Time to Start Bathing your Dog

Puppies are just starting to discover the world and their curiosity makes them extra susceptible to getting dirty. It is best to introduce your puppy to its first bath gradually. Make sure that your puppy is no less than 12 weeks old or at least 3 months before giving it a bath. You can always give it a sponge bath by moistening a hand towel with lukewarm water and give it a gentle rubbing. This is also a great way to familiarize your puppy with the bathing ritual. Make sure that you choose a shampoo that is especially made for puppies so it will be gentle enough not to hurt its eyes or be too strong for its puppy skin and coat.

Shampoos for Sensitive Skin

Several types of shampoos target dogs with specific needs, even those with sensitive skin. Many shampoos are formulated with mild ingredients. There are also hypo-allergenic shampoos for extra sensitive dogs. The usual causes for allergic reactions are the ingredients used in the shampoo such as detergents and fragrances. There are even shampoos with all natural ingredients that have moisturizers, vitamins, and proteins that help in making the skin and coat of your dog healthier. The recommended shampoos for dogs with flaky or itchy skin are those that are oatmeal based or herbal based.

Before selecting a shampoo for your dog, it would help to know the particular skin type and coat of your dog, the types of activities it loves to do, and if it is sensitive to some ingredients in the shampoo content.

Colin Giles, Nokia’s executive vice president of sales, has announced that he’s stepping down. It follows the company’s dour financial results for Q1 and will lead to a restructuring of the company’s sales organization, aiming to strip layers from what’s currently in place. Giles has been with Nokia since 1992 and was heavily involved in the company’s movements in China and the larger Asia market. However, he had only been involved in Nokia’s Leadership Team for just under a year. He will stay with the team until June 30 and cites a desire to be closer to his family following his departure. Announced through Nokia’s official channels, the process aims to “ensure greater customer focus” — we suppose that will involve more than just white polycarbonate.

While I seriously doubt the staying power of this game platform, the concept is pretty cool. Called Jumala, this free-to-play online game allows players to stop the action mid-game and flip things around and change the entire level. Level too scary? You can add flying hot dogs and flowers. Too boring? Add demonic death heads.

The game is all about level design. You earn points by creating games and environments a la Little Big Planet and you can earn currency to buy various pieces of content and interactive items. Each level you create is shared via Facebook with other players and you can change items mid-game, just to mess with people.

We’ll be honest: We haven’t jumped rope for a really long time. And even when we did, those of us here at Tecca weren’t very good at it. That’s why we’re both amazed and ? to be honest ? put to shame by this?video of an incredibly skilled dog named Geronimo.

Geronimo is, according to her owner Samantha Valle, a 2-year-old cattle dog mix that was rescued from the pound at 3 months. Valle, a professional dog trainer, taught Geronimo the trick over the course of five weeks. According to Valle, “There were no specific steps I really took that made a huge difference. All I can really remember doing is trying a bunch of different things, rewarding her small successes until the trick was complete.”

We’re impressed ? some dogs can’t even climb up stairs without aid of a?$8,000 dog lift, but this smart canine is more athletic than we are. Even more impressive, Geronimo can perform a number of other tricks you can also see in the video. If you want to see Geronimo in person, you can: She’ll be appearing as part of?The Stunt Dog Experience, a show at the?Dollywood amusement park in Tennessee. And of course,?like an increasing number of pets, Geronimo has a page you can?visit on Facebook.

Western Digital has expanded its line of desktop-grade VelociRaptors to include a 1TB model that’s available now for $320, but those kidding themselves with that whole “250GB is enough” thing can get in for as little as $160. Top-level specs include a 10,000RPM spindle rate and a SATA 6Gb/s interface housed within a 3.5-inch heat sink — useful for lessening the burden of the drive’s thermal output on the rest of the machine. Storage Review‘s tests reveal that sequential read and write transfer speeds top out around 206MB/s, thermal dissipation is excellent with low power consumption, and that random access has improved compared with it’s 600GB predecessor. They consider the new HDD to be a “very appealing value proposition” and “a blend of high performance, storage, capacity, and low cost.”

Hot Hardware discovered virtually identical numbers with their tests, but wasn’t quite as forgiving when it comes to the cost-per-GB versus 7200RPM hard drives. However, they call this VelociRaptor the “fastest HDD yet” at “nearly double the capacity of previous” model. You can find even more stats and impressions to chew on at the sources below.
