About us
Celebrating its fifth birthday this year, OxFizz is an award winning and pioneering not-for-profit social enterprise that is completely unique.
OxFizz wants a world in which people can make a difference – in a different way. We engage people through our unique model, where they volunteer their time and skills to provide our educational services to support young people.
We charge those who can afford it, and all our profits go to supporting charities chosen by our volunteers, including our bursary programme which helps an equivalent number of students from disadvantaged backgrounds for free.
OxFizz has three branches: the Oxford & Cambridge Summer School provides a residential summer school for 16-18 year olds each summer in Oxford; Oxbridge Interviews provides practice university interviews for school pupils, and Career Interview Coaching offers practice career interviews.
In each branch, volunteers (mainly recent university graduates and postgraduates from Oxford and Cambridge universities) are trained to provide these services, with profits going to charities of their choice. We have over 200 volunteers on our team.
In 2012, OxFizz was named the fourth fastest growing social enterprise in the UK by the RBS SE100 Awards (and the only organisation to come in the top five for two years running).

Most Recent in Testing
Octocrylene Concerns Flag Industry's Attention
Apr 23, 2014
The industry reacts to a new study published in Contact Dermatitis reviews reports of the UV absorber octocrylene for its potential to cause photo contact allergy.
Sandblasting to Improve the Reproducibility of In vitro Sunscreen Evaluation
Mar 20, 2014
SPF test results from substrates treated using a traditional sandblasting technique are compared with those from substrates treated using a new process. Based on the topographic control of 10 batches and 34 sunscreen evaluations, the authors concluded the new process had better topographic reproducibility, consequently improving the SPF repeatability and reproducibility in vitro.
Collagens I and III, and Elastin Activation for Anti-aging
Feb 24, 2014
As an alternative to semi-invasive facial rejuvenation techniques, the authors developed an active ingredient to reactivate senescent fibroblasts by stimulating metabolic pathways for collagens I and III, and elastin. The biological activity of the resulting ingredient is investigated here using in vitro models, ex vivo explants and human volunteers.
Measuring the Water Content of Hair
Feb 21, 2014
Consumers have demonstrated a clear desire for hair that isn't "dried out" while also demonstrating a clear distaste for the effects of high humidity on hair. To find the balance in creating products, it is necessary to have an accurate means of measuring hair's water content. This article describes equipment used to perform this task while highlighting experimental variables that can produce suspect results and lead to incorrect conclusions.
'Anti-imperfection' Claims
Jan 24, 2014
Four tests can be undertaken to substantiate the claims covered in this article. Colorimetry analyzes pre- and post-product application skin tone. A Cutometer or dermal torque meter measures the rate of skin extension pre- and post-product treatment, and stratum corneum turnover tests and acute profilometry studies show the rate at which skin is renewed or changes in the evenness of skin occur.
State of São Paulo in Brazil Bans Cosmetic Testing on Animals
Jan 24, 2014
This ban in the Brazilian state follows a ban from India, Israel and the European Union, as well as debate and potential regulation changes in countries like China.
Analyzing Deposition from Rinse-off Hair Products
Jan 13, 2014
The most common approach to determine ingredient deposition on hair is to analyze the treated tresses, but this poses several challenges. Instead, the authors describe a novel approach based on determining the amount of ingredient collected in the rinse water, and back-calculating the amount deposited on hair. Development and validation efforts discussed here use polydimethylsiloxane as a model compound.
Measuring Hair Strength, Part II: Fiber Breakage
Jan 12, 2014
In the mechanical testing world, the tendency for materials to fail under a repeated stimulus is termed fatigue testing, and this article discusses this topic in relation to hair breakage. It will be shown that this alternative testing approach provides considerable insight into the cause of hair breakage, and subsequently allows for the identification of strategies for its minimization; it will also be demonstrated how learning this provides the underlying theory by which anti-breakage and even "strengthening" claims are crafted.
Liverpool Student Develops Alternative to Draize for Testing Mascara Irritation
Jan 8, 2014
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have developed a testing method alternative to the Draize test for mascara eye irritation using protozoa rather than animals. In addition to the new method not using rabbits, it was found to be cheaper and more reliable.
ICCVAM Requests Info on Skin Sensitization Testing
Nov 20, 2013
The Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) has requested the submission of new science or information on alternative test methods or testing strategies for skin sensitization, as part of a plan of action to advance this area.
Researcher Develops Hydroperoxide Detection Method for Fragrance Allergens
Nov 13, 2013
Research from the University of Gothenburg has led to a potential method for identifying allergenic fragrance compounds in consumer products by exposing them to air.
Anti-wrinkle Claims Substantiation
Nov 1, 2013
Personal care is now dominated by want rather than need, and one facet at the crux of this trend is the taboo word of the century: wrinkles. As with the majority of cosmetic products and claims in the 21st century, product development teams aim to differentiate their products from competitors in one way or another, to create a successful brand and generate profit.
Influence of Pressure During Spreading on UV Transmission Results
Nov 1, 2013
This work evaluates the impact of applied pressure during sample spreading on the in vitro measurement of UV transmission. The authors work in a range of pressures between 50–200 g and demonstrate that pressure control is a key parameter that should be strictly controlled to ensure the reliability of test results.
C + K Introduces Tewameter with Three Probes for Better Efficiency
Oct 23, 2013
Courage + Khazaka has upgraded its well-known TEWL and barrier function measurement device, the Tewameter, with three probe heads for better efficiency.
In Vitro UV Testing—Robot vs. Human Spreading for Repeatable, Reproducible Results
Oct 1, 2013
Repeatability and reproducibility are crucial to validate any test method. In order to master these criteria, the authors developed an automated spreading device and compared it with human spreading. Application of the device in eight laboratories and using 36 sunscreens revealed great improvements via automated spreading, ensuring good intra- and inter-laboratory variability.
In vitro/vivo SPF Correlation and Repeatability According to Substrate
Sep 1, 2013
This work evaluates the impact of three different substrates on in vitro SPF measurements, and defines experimental conditions to improve their correlation with in vivo values. Evaluations of 32 products, shown here, led the authors to conclude that molded substrates improved repeatability and correlation with in vivo SPF values.
Image Processing and Analysis to Evaluate the Effects of Porous Polyamide Microspheres in Cosmetics
Sep 1, 2013
Described here is an image processing system that compensates for changes in illumination and volunteer position, and two algorithms to quantify skin texture and wrinkles. These methods evaluate skin parameters from a single image without contacting skin. Their abilities are demonstrated here in evaluations of the benefits of porous polyamide ultra-fine powders on skin texture and gloss.

Mature and Immature Corneocyte Detection Force Distance Curves vs. Microfluorometry
May 1, 2013
Here, the author compares two methods to determine the maturity of corneocytes based on their cross-linking that could be used to evaluate the anti-aging effects of molecular agents. The first utilizes microfluorometry, while the second involves F-D curves generated via contact mode AFM. Both methods successfully detected differences in mature or immature corneocytes with 95% confidence.

Brian Johnson
Philosopher & CEO
Brian Johnson is the Philosopher & CEO of en*theos--a company that creates cool stuff to help people optimize their lives. He's the co-founder (with his wife, Alexandra) of the en*theos Academy, PhilosophersNotes and Blissitations and is the author of A Philosopher's Notes. He's also featured in the documentary Finding Joe and has a monthly "Big Ideas" column in Experience Life magazine.
In one of his past lives, as a 24-year-old law school dropout turned Founder/CEO, Brian led the creation of eteamz-the world's largest amateur sports site that currently (and profitably) provides team and league web sites and a comprehensive suite of services to over 3 million teams from over 120 countries around the world. (For example, Little League Baseball® uses the technology.) After spending the requisite time in "garage-mode," eteamz won UCLA's Business Plan competition, raised over $5 million of capital, grew from 3 to 45 employees in less than a year (including the CEO of Adidas and the eventual winner of Apprentice II) and was sold for over $13 million of stock and cash to The Active Network, Inc. in 2000.
After successfully leading the integration of the two companies as a Vice President at Active, Brian spent a few years as a philosopher, immersing himself in philosophy, psychology, mysticism and optimal living. He read hundreds of books and traveled a bit-studying Jesus in Jerusalem, Marcus Aurelius in the Danube of Hungary, Rumi in Konya, Turkey, and Socrates in Greece. On his return, he created thinkArete.com, a site where he began distilling the universal truths of optimal living. Over 10,000 people signed up to receive his daily newsletter where he shared the wisdom of his favorite teachers, showing how everyone (from Nietzsche to Buddha to Emerson) is saying the same thing.
In 2004, in an effort to integrate his philosophical and entrepreneurial selves (yes, he's a Gemini :) and to put the truths he was studying into practice, Brian created Zaadz (now Gaia)-a company named after the Dutch word for seed committed to leveraging world-class social networking tools to connect, inspire and empower people committed to transforming their lives and our planet. (Think: Facebook for people who want to change the world.)
As the Philosopher & CEO of Zaadz, he raised $3 million to finance the launch of the business. Investors included a billionaire and his family and the CEO of Whole Foods. Feeling the dharmic pull to immerse himself back into studying and living the universal truths, Brian sold Zaadz to Gaiam, Inc. (Nasdaq: GAIA) in the summer of 2007.
Before all of that, Brian graduated Magna Cum Laude with Phi Beta Kappa honors from UCLA where he studied Psychology and Business. Brian has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal and various other publications on everything from philosophy and business to his vision on how to change the world. He has presented on various panels, served as a judge for the Anderson School at UCLA's Business Plan writing competition, and given lectures on conscious capitalism, entrepreneurial finance and the Internet economy at USC's Marshall School of Business, Claremont McKenna and Cal Tech.
Brian is also a contributing author in Michael Strong's book Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs & Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World's Problems where he joins Whole Foods CEO John Mackey, Nobel Peace Prize-winner Muhammad Yunus, legal reform expert Hernando de Soto and others in discussing how we can leverage entrepreneurialism as a force for good. His chapter focuses on the role of the conscious entrepreneur in transforming our world.
And, look for Brian in the upcoming documentary on Joseph Campbell called Finding Joe-all about the role of myth/ritual/spirituality in the 21st century.

Evangelist Marie Butler of Jesup is not your typical preacher, but she has a wide audience.
I think about the love I have for my wife all the time, especially the feeling I have when I see her smile. The joy that comes over me when I am the source of that smile is overwhelming. Sometimes the hair on the back of my neck stands up when she walks into a room. It is easy to love someone this way, especially when you know that the love is reciprocal. I am sure there are some husbands who can identify with what I am saying.
How much do you know about Christmas? I would like for you to take a Christmas quiz with me today. Are you ready?
We all have ways of doing things. As human beings, created in the image of God and given the ability to make choices, sometimes we disagree. God gives us this license when it comes to earthly things.
The scripture tells us that "it is more blessed to give than to receive."
It is very easy during this time of the year to lose focus on what is important. With the pressure of society, family and friends, sometimes we find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of wants, requests and desires that blur the vision that was so clearly mapped out for us just a few months earlier.
Christmas is almost here and people are gearing up for the holiday with a variety of festivities and activities.
At this time of year, we hear a lot about the things we should be thankful for, such as family, good health, financial resources and the things we need that they buy. It is important to give thanks for the blessings of life that we receive. But there is another question that needs to be answered: Who is the recipient of our thanks?
The God of creation did not just create man and leave him to his own devices. God speaks to man so man can know what God desires of him. The way God speaks to man has changed thorough the centuries of time.
Many years ago, my wife and I moved away to New Orleans to go to school. We were both in our early 20s, having been married only a year and a half. We were scared and excited, all at the same time. I imagine that our parents (both sets) were more frightened than excited.
It has been my prayer that as this article is read you all had a joyful Thanksgiving and the choicest blessing of God was upon you, and everyone is giving thanks with a grateful heart.
There is a sense of anticipation in the air. In just a few months, a new church will be launched.
In just a matter of days, the malls and shopping centers will be filled to capacity with shoppers looking for the bargains that will change their lives.
"Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets" (Matt. 22:36-40).
It is really interesting that the media's No. 1 story the other day was about Prince William and Katie Middleton's engagement. You couldn't find an outlet that wasn't covering this story, as if it was so important.
Sometimes life throws us curve balls - situations, circumstances and problems that we just don't know how to handle.
Over 2,000 years ago, there was this one called Jesus Christ who came on the scene in history. He preached, taught and healed the sick. Crowds gathered just to see if he was going to perform another miracle.
Dad used to tell me, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Coach would say, "No pain, no gain." And one teacher would remark, "We learn best through adversity."
The Bible plainly states that all men have sinned (Romans 3:23). Sin, though not inherited, has been a plague of each generation of mankind. Each individual sins and is responsible for their sins.
There is no doubt that we are living in some difficult times. Many are struggling to make ends meet. Many are wondering if there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Sunday was an exciting time, and those at St. Luke Missionary Baptist Church are celebrating a great accomplishment in the life of their church.
This week has been beautiful, and I think spring is finally here to stay. We have been fooled before with a cold front sneaking its way back in. Well, speaking of being fooled, Tuesday was April Fool's Day where many a folk were hoaxed or tricked. Most of this was all done in fun and brought much-needed laughter.
Well, did you survive April Fool's Day? Or are you one of those who pulls the pranks on others?
Often, the love of Jesus is not seen in the lives of his creation.
"Jesus said, 'Take ye away the stone.' Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, 'Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he hath been dead four days.' Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, 'Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.' And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth.' And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus ...
The older I get, the more I pay attention to my surroundings. I notice the beauty of flowers, trees, stars and even little details.
Spring has come. It's obvious on the calendar. We already have moved the clocks forward for daylight saving time. And where we live, trees and flowers are blooming all over.
Last week, we looked at Isaiah 1:18 and saw that God was willing to give his people an opportunity to come to their senses and turn back to him. Those people failed to heed God's warnings. Surely, man can learn from their mistakes (Romans 15:4).
The August Birth Month Committee of Bryan Neck Missionary Baptist Church will hold a fundraiser dinner from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 18-19 at the church in Richmond Hill.

Thank you so much! I would love to speak further with you- yes natural birth is VERY dicouraged in Romania's capital Bucharest and in the rural areas nearly all babies are now born in hospitals... I would love to have you come and speak to the midwives here to encourage them (they have cardiologists, internal medicine docs for professors in midwifery school- yuck!)... I would be interested in finding the 'homebirth' community here- I am searching for it but have not yet found it- I personally think that it would be an excellent idea with the right midwives and open minded families..
Thank you for your blog, pictures, courage and generous heart-
Looking forward to speaking further-
peace and blessings
Moasaemma :)
I went as far as AK for a birth once, and did have a missionary family in Romania come "home" to me to give birth. I would love to be a traveling midwife, but usually my calls are not exotic places, just a 2 hr drive :(. How can you afford to do it? I need 3 births a month to break even, 4 to make a profit, usually anly get 2, traveling for me would be a luxury I can't afford.
Curious as to what business cost you are incurring that require 3 births a month to break even. I assume that as a CPM you are self employeed and potentially working both out of your home office and doing visits in the home of expectant mothers.
Or is the break even you are referring to the normal cost of living, maintaining your profession, lifestyle and household?
moasaemma; you can send me an email; birth [at] majikfaerie [dot] com
As to expenses for travel, generally I expect my expenses to be covered for a birth, including travel, no matter where it is. my gas money is calculated in my expenses for a birth in my area just as travel expenses for a birth elsewhere. But I don't charge a lot, over my expenses, and for women in asia (where I usually travel to), the cost of plane tickets and expenses still work out not much more than hiring a homebirth MW in Sydney, which is around double what the MWs in my area charge.
A couple of times I attended births in Asia when I was there anyway, so it worked out well.
I live in Serbia and I am so fascinated that I found traveling midwives that I couldn't resist and post a question. Do you know anyone who will come to Serbia for home watherbirth in February?
It is almost the same situation here with birthing like in Romania.
If anyone has any African contacts please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks. We are trying to put a network together.
i amire you. in Greece its very hard to establish your status as a midwife in your working place, let alone on the road. Every day is a struggle against gynecologists who claim labor as their own buissness! I work at a health care center, appointed by the state, and my every decision is allways questioned, even among my own collegues. Gongratulations for your travelling work!
I think travelling midwives are truly wonderful women who go out of their way to help women living in areas where midwife care is not available. I'm especially sensitive to this topic as a Canadian expat living abroad and a VBAC mom who was (desperately) seeking support the lack of which available meant me becoming another cesarian statistic. If I ever do have another child, I would have to have care of some sort set up beforehand (I don't knwo how I would feel knowing I was set up to be another CS).
Do any of you lovely ladies travel around Europe, Shakti and I are near one another, I am in Croatia located on the coast (which BTW, is a great holiday making destination ;)? Perhaps you know of colleauges who are willing to travel?
Dear Daniela, you don't have to worry if you decide to have another baby :) There is an Austrian midwife who travel to Croatia for homebirths, and I think that she does VBAC. I know few mothers who had homebirth with her and they are very satisfade with her. I could send you her contact, email me at email@example.com .
p.s are you on Krk Island? :)
Does anyone know of a midwife who would be willing to travel to Istanbul, Turkey in June? It seems things here are about the same as Serbia etc and I really feel that homebirth is the safest option, on every level. Unfortunately, no one here to do it!
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
This is inspiring. I am going to be starting my own practice next year and I was wanting to do some traveling in the meantime. Traveling midwifery sounds like such a great opportunity- Hmmmmm.....
if you'd like to see the Croatian coast or the area around Croatia in general I'm sure we could organise some travelling midwifery for you :)
I would be happy to assist you, I have much in common with you as well (email me privately if you wish) firstname.lastname@example.com,
Be well,
I've just returned home from a stint in New Zealand :) got to connect with some women and held some workshops for well-women, and did some care as well. (though i just went for a vacation, and did some pre-natal care incedentally - there's relatively no shortage of MWs in NZ!)
How do you fly with your supplies? You pretty much have to check a bag and keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't get lost, right? I'd imagine taking a photo of the items in the bag would be prudent. Any other tips?

Mailing Address:The Honorable Nikki R. HaleyOffice of the Governor1205 Pendleton StreetColumbia, SC 29201
Nikki Randhawa Haley was elected the 116th Governor of South Carolina on Tuesday, November 2, 2010.
One of the strongest fiscal conservatives in state government, Nikki was first elected to represent the 87th District in Lexington County in 2004, when, as a virtual unknown, she beat the longest serving state legislator in a Republican primary. In 2008, Representative Haley was sent back to the Statehouse with 83 percent of the vote – the highest percentage earned by any lawmaker facing a contested South Carolina election that year. She won the Republican Party nomination for governor on Tuesday, June 22, 2010.
Her time in Columbia has been marked by conservative leadership and an unwavering commitment to the taxpayers' bottom line. She has fought wasteful spending at every turn, pushed for smaller, more efficient government, and led the fight for accountability and transparency that, before her arrival, was sorely lacking in the Legislature.

Summer Travel Up Despite High Air Fares and Gas Prices
The travel industry has been hoping that travel will be up sharply this year. With seven weeks left in the traditional summer vacation, confidence in that prediction is building.
As prices at the pump have climbed, so have the costs of flying. Airlines have raised fares on various routes several times this year in part to recover rising prices for jet fuel.
But that has not stopped the public from taking to the skies. In June, passenger traffic rose by 5 percent for 17 U.S. airlines, compared with the same month last year, according to statistics compiled by Bloomberg News. The June load factor, the percentage of seats filled with paying passengers, was 83.1 percent for all airlines, up from 81.9 percent a year earlier.
The passenger traffic percentage gains for the first six months of 2005 are even greater than Junes, according to Bloomberg News
Prices are higher, but so is the passenger traffic. Thats an indication that consumers are digesting the higher fares, said Bob Harrell, president of Harrell Associates, a New York-based travel consulting firm.
The company calculates the cheapest leisure fare on a four-week running average for nearly 300 routes offered by the major carriers. That average price was 14 percent higher in the first week of July than the same time last year.
I think its fair to say leisure fares are up 10 to 15 percent through the spring and early summer over last year, Harrell said.
Terry Trippler, an airline expert at cheapseats.com, estimates that most round-trip tickets cost from $40 to $50 more than last year.
Some people will drop off because of the higher prices, Trippler said. But the airlines are picking up travelers like couples who decide not to drive their Navigator from Kansas City to Los Angeles because of the higher gas prices. Even though air fares are going up, its cheaper to fly than to drive that far with the gas and motels.
Trippler expects airfares to continue rising through the rest of this year and into 2006, after more than three years of extremely low ticket prices.
My advice is if you see a fare you like now for travel during Thanksgiving or Christmas, buy it, he said. I would bet the rent that it will be higher later in the year.
Kathy Sudeikis, vice president of corporate relations at All About Travel in Mission, said some consumers were already making their travel plans for spring break next year.
People who havent planned yet for this summer are kicking themselves, but its not stopping them from going, she said. There are occasions like family reunions and weddings in which the dollar amount for tickets doesnt really change peoples minds about attending.
The higher fares and full planes are good news for the airline industry, which has lost billions of dollars in the past three years. American Airlines and Continental Airlines this week reported quarterly profits. For American, the worlds largest carrier and the second-busiest at Kansas City International Airport with 21 departures daily, it was its first quarterly profit without special charges in more than four years. Still, the airlines could lose money for the year.
There have been some fare increases, but they have not offset the dramatic rise in fuel costs, said Tim Wagner, a spokesman for American. The headwind of historically high fuel costs and historically low fares is still not adding up to a healthy environment for the airlines.
The travel industry expects the fare increases to be sustainable, at least as long as the economy does not falter. For now it can count on travelers like Kim Warren of Kansas City, who is taking a three-week trip to the East Coast on which she will fly and drive.
Are costs up? Yes, she says, including hotel costs. But shes going anyway.
I cant consider that a big concern, she said.

Kohler K-3386 Rialto One-Piece Toilet, comments and pictures
Kohler makes one of the shortest toilets in a round front. If you have a bathroom with a door that swings in, that may be something to consider.
Here are a few pictures of the Kohler Rialto
I'm not a big fan of this trapway, it's too easy to clog it.
Looking inside the tank.
Working on the fill valve.

I might add though, that it's not a great performer. There is better product out there.
I don't like the tight bends at the bottom of the trapway.

Full story
Game statistics
A 42-yard field goal by Bluffton's Adam Burgess as the clock expired lifted the Beavers to a 23-30 win over Thiel College Saturday afternoon in Salzman Stadium.
Thiel scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to tie the game 20-20 with 2:18 left to play before Bluffton moved the football down to the 25 yard line to set up the game winning field goal with no time outs and the clock running. BC snapped the football for the field goal attempt with one second left in the game.
Bluffton improves to 1-2 on the season and has next Saturday off. BC will return to action on Sept. 29 at Anderson University.
Bluffton sophomore Jovan Johnson rushed for 165 yards and a touchdown on 34 carries, and junior quarterback Brad Moore hit senior Jamie Stevens on a 55-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter to put BC up 20-6 before Thiel's comeback.
BC defensive backs Jeff Company and Josh Slaughter picked off Thiel passes in the second half to end Tomcat drives.

Meh. This is not the place to go for a good Greek salad. I'm always on the look-out for a Greek salad for lunch, so my coworkers and I stopped in here last week and each got one. I ordered the traditional Greek salad with souvlaki for about $10.
I'll start with the positives: they give you a huge slab of feta cheese on top of the salad, not just feta crumbles like most places. Tthe salad is gigantic. The veggies (aside from the olives) were fresh.
The cons: the salad dressing is very sweet, not a typical vinegar-y Greek dressing (more like a sweet Italian dressing) and I didn't like it at all. The souvlaki was cooked to the point of shoe leather texture and was also very fatty. I ended up with lots of leftover meat on the side of my plate that was just inedible either because I couldn't chew it, or because it was all fat.
The service was also meh, as our dreadlocked waitress kept interrupting my conversation with her $.02 on what she thought I was talking about, which wasn't even what we were discussing. She did the same at the next table over. I doubt we'll be back. So far, Melita's on Logan has the best Greek Salad for the money, IMO.
Amazing $2.50 specials – We are now offering customers before 9:00a.m. If you purchase a drink $2.50 Eggs, hashbrowns, and toast. Add meat $1:00 more. Until 10:00a.m. N.Y Strip, eggs, hasbrowns and toast$6.99, Gyros Pita breakfast and hashbrowns $5.50, French toast, Sausage and Eggs $5.50
Lunch specials- Chicken Kabob and fries $5.99, Hamburger, fries and drink $5.99
terrible – Bad food bad service owners daughter was dressed in booty shorts slutty makeup and shirt terribly rude the owner her father made her cry fake crab reporting them to the EEOC
Straight out of Kitchen Nightmares! – Went to MBFGC with my family. I ordered the Fisherman's salad which was said to have crab meat, shrimp, kalamata olives, and the usual veggies. Bad enough that they had been misleading in the use of the word "crab" but the artificial (K)crab meat had obviously been frozen and defrosted minutes before they tossed it on my salad. It was still half frozen. There were 4 tiny little beat-up looking shrimp buried under the mound of half frozen Krab and 3 kalamata olives. The tomatoes were unripe and hard and comprised most of the salad. No dressing, just olive oil. The WORST salad I've ever had. I removed the Krab meat and asked to have a grilled chicken breast instead. I was informed that it would be awhile. Hmmm, I wonder why? Because they were DEFROSTING a chicken breast to grill up for me. I don't usually feel compelled to write reviews on restaurants but in this case I felt it important to let people know what they're getting when they go to My Big Fat Greek Cafe based on my experience.
Best Greek Food in Denver! – Everything is fresh and homemade. I've tried many other Greek restaurants and will now eat Greek food only there. I can't wait to go back and get take out . I hear if you go Friday and Saturday nights the owner is there and is really friendly.
HATEFULL WORDS AT WORK – I have been this restaurant two times now, the first time was about 3 months ago, and the man that served us was extremely rude and did not care to take care of his customer. Today when I was in the area my friend requested we return, our waitress was fast, friendly and, and understanding, but while we were there we over heard the man who was our previous server, harassing our waitress by yelling at her, and making her cry for what we understand was done by other employee. Our waitress informed us that he was the owner of this restaurant .we believe your work place is your second home and should be treat as such. This man was totally out place to treat someone like this. How dare an employer ever treat their employee?s with such disrespect! Federal law does not prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not extremely serious. The conduct must be sufficiently severe to create a hostile work environment. I believe this was severely hostile and I will be making a report to the EEOC. And will NEVER return to this restaurant again.
Big portions, great value – There are plenty of Greek restaurants in Greektown, so we decided to try this one since my family is from Greece. We loved the owner - he made us feel right at home. His employees were very attentive and quick to serve us. The food was amazing and made me miss home. It isn't meant to be a very fancy schmancy place - which was perfect because we were looking for something casual. The prices were very reasonable and the portions were generous. This place was great and my family and I will patron this establishment because of our positive, fun experience.
Great Food, Funny Server – This is a great cafe that is homey and comfortable. We were in a hurry and our waitress made sure our food was served quickly. She was also very funny and personable. The food was delicious and the menu had a great deal of traditional Greek food. I would go back anytime and recommend it to friends.
The Best Greek Food around- and Reasonable prices – I have been here several times, it has become one of my favorite Greek places to eat. They have very nice portions and fast and friendly service, and never had a bad meal! You must try their baklava, especially the pistachio one.. OMG .. the best I have ever had! Try it I know you'll like it if you like authentic Greek food!
Poor Service. – I went to My Big Fat Greek Cafe for the first time on 7/26/08 for lunch. I have been looking for some good greek food around town and heard of this place. The food was excellent. The gyro meat was great. BUT the service was horrible. They had one waitress which was fine because it was not so busy when we went in but she was unfriendly and rude. She acted like she was irritated that people were in there and she actually had to wait on them. After asking for a re-fill on our drinks she came back to the table and practically through them at us. And then proceeded to reach over the table to change out the sugar without even saying exuse me -just completely reached over us while we were in the middle of eating. There are plenty of people out there who need a job and would be willing to have hers. If you don't like to work in the service industry missy you need to find something else. Because of her poor service I will not be returning !

I was wondering if anyone ever had this problem after Installing Kalway Leopard 10.5.1
After the installation I boot my PC and see a Video saying Welcome in a bunch of different language, after which I come to a screen saying
"Before You Begin..."
I then click 'OK" to continue to the next screen, which ask me to press as the key next to the shift button to detect my keyboard.
So far so good, I press the key and a new screen appear I select ANSI for my keyboard and click Continue, next I choose Canada for my Region and click Continue, after I choose Canada English for the keyboard layout and click Continue...
Now the next screen appear and this is where I'm having a problem.
"Do You Already Own a Mac?"
I'm given four option here and choose the last one:
"Do not transfer my information now"
I then click "Continue"
It then take sometime and poof it goes back to the initial Video saying "Welcome" after which I'm bring back to the screen saying:
"Before You Begin..."
I tried many different way to install but every time I get stock at exactly the same place.
My computer is:
Dell Dimension 9000
Intel Quad Core CPU
NVidia Geforce 8600
(I disabled most of the hardware to test the installation)
I partionned the Disk in MBR and GUID both work, it's been 10+ installation I make, I would be very happy if someone could tell me what is the next step after that "Do You Already Own a Mac" or if there is anything I must do here to bypass this message.
Thank you in advance!

I have exactly the same problem. I installed from beginner mode, but there is no network carrier to see, and also the same as office5280 here:have a 3G from italy - so it's unlocked
tried three times to recover with a frimware from expert modes - everytime I had no cell network the cell option was missing in the settings menu. wifi worked.
So now I'll try to restore it without the jailbreak. I hope this didn't brick my phone...No signal or carrier listed, all i have is an empty signal strength indicator. The tethering was still enabled in settings

I'm assuming you already had those bags?
Jack Davis said:This is my cart, I have 20 bucks in it.
Jack Davis said:Yes, the top bag is my Innova Comp bag, and the "bag" below is my soft cooler. Like I have said before, I didn't build this to carry plastic, plastic is lite, but to Hell with carrying BEER!
See it all depends on your individual needs....lol!!!! 12 pack needs cart!!!! Notice the positioning of the heavier beer cooler at the lower position on Jack's type of cart....This is to add needed ballast in preventing tip-overs or uneven wieght disc-persement.
James Brown said:I'm assuming you already had those bags?
Jack Davis said:This is my cart, I have 20 bucks in it.
I have a cart kind of like Jack's but it's still evolving.
It has a foam speaker box for my amplified speakers and my IPOD, so I can rock out without my headphones (only in casual play)
The cooler on mine is an oval Igloo with a tap which is where I attach the bungee cords to secure it to the cart. It originally was a stroller and I left the footrest on it but took everything else off.
I also bought a metal basket from Lowe's and used heavy tie-straps to attach to the frame, and I just throw my bag in it.
I was having the problem with flat tires that someone mentioned as well. In fact, at the Big Arms Over The Brazos one year I had three flats. The one at the end of the first round wasn't too bad, fixed it during lunch break. Then the second over night, but the third one was on day two and the whole cart went into the back of my truck. I decided I wasn't going to screw with inflatable tires anymore so a search turned up a nice alternative at Greentyre (a solid rubber tire w/ millions of air bubbles)
It also has two rolling billboards with all my favorite vendor's stickers on them, like DD, Zonedriven, Innova, etc
It still needs a trash bin for when I pick up someone else's empties though.

Get answers to all of your questions from fellow owners and travelers.

Owner, Property Manager, or Traveler
I am new to this forum and also brand new to renting our second home as a vacation place. We are in process of getting our home ready, located in Berkeley, California, and our initial experience is a little bit stressful. We have received many visits, about 8 inquiries, three that appear to be serious, but nothing booked yet. But I need advise on the following:
Two of the "serious" requests asked me to hold the dates until they reach their decision. Both were requests for a 3 plus week stay, and I agreed to do so, without requiring payment to hold the dates.
One of the parties sent a representative to take pictures of the house so they could send it to the "celebrity" in Los Angeles who may be staying in our house. After a full week of back and forth, they still haven't made up their mind and now they are saying they are looking at another property in an area closer to their film production site but are still interested in our house. It is very frustrating, and I don't know if you have any tips on what I can do to secure a booking with this type of high maintenance prospects.
The other request came from Europe and it is similar in the sense that is requesting me to hold the dates until this Saturday while they make a decision. I have agreed to do so.
Am I making a mistake in agreeing to hold dates without asking for some advance payment? Or is this pretty typical. I have not change the calendar in my VRBO site reflecting any reservations for these dates.
Any advise is appreciated.
Yes, you are making a mistake. No money? No hold. I require payment of 50% of total fee to hold, with a stiff cancelation policy and fullpaymnet must be received 30 days prior to thier date of arrival, PLUS a completed application and copies of all credit cards and a photo ID.
I NEVER give out my exact address, let alone let anyone onto my property until final payment has cleared my bank. There are a lot of scammers out there!!! Be careful!!!
I operate the same as msdebj except that my deposit is $250, not a percentage. No money, no hold! I'd hate to lose a booking from a second inquirer while the first inquirer is deciding not to book my villa.
I agree with the first two replies. I have had people who say they are sending out a deposit and in that case I do say I will "hold" it until their deposit arrives FOR 5 DAYS ONLY. We don't take credit cards so this works for us. I will hold dates for the next season for return guests, but they are VERY reliable. I wish you much success with your house!
Thank you all for your good advise. I will definetely put it into practice. As an update, it seems that one of those "serious" inquiries I mentioned is actually happening. They are sending a check! this would be my first booking (for 3 weeks!). Thanks again!
Generally speaking, I take the attitude that one either wants the house or not. If they want it, I place a one-week hold onthe property and immediately send them a contract and invoice. I need to receive the signed contract and 50% of the rental fee plus the full $500 security deposit within the week or I release the hold. I tend to find that those who wish time to 'consider' the rental don't take it. Of course, we provide eight pictures plus a link to our website to see even more pictures, and provide lots of info, both on the VRBO listing, our website, and in our email communications with prospects and guests.
One other point, if their arrival date is within 60 days, get the full payment up front. Nothing like a bad check to muck up a rental experience on thelandlord's part, IMHO....
Good luck w/your rental!
Jim Van
Avondale Properties
We allow our guests 48 hours hold pending receipt of their deposit. We will only put a hold on the house if they say they ARE sending the money. Otherwise, we tell them to let us know when they are ready. If the home is still available, would be happy to rent to them.
I will hold the property 48 hours if they scan a copy of the signed contract and their check and e-mail to me. I won't hold it unless I have those and they tell me when it has been mailed. I encourage them to overnight the check if they want to secure the booking. I don't block the week on my listings until I have the check in my hand.
I do not hold without payment and put language in my response to inquiries that due to the number of inquiries that bookings are not confirmed without payment of deposit and signed agreement. I allow the guest to pay the deposit by electronic check or credit card, with the balance due 45 days prior to arrival by electronic check or mailing a check. Usually letting the guest know that i can't hold dates encourages them to book and pay so as not to loose the dates they want.
We will hold a property for 48 Hours pending receipt of a deposit. After 24 hours we ask renter for tracking number of sent payment.

Tips, news, how-tos, and troubleshooting help for the iPad.
The devices on this page represent the best among their respective categories.
The fourth-gen iPod Touch is Apple's second-best portable media player, with a price that will help you forget about No. 1.
The Apple iPad is the first affordable tablet computer worth owning, but it won't (yet) replace your laptop.
The latest iPad adds several tweaks and improvements to secure its position at the top of the tablet heap. It's better all around, but third-gen owners need not apply.
If you want the full, polished Apple tablet experience in a smaller package, the iPad Mini is worth the premium price. Otherwise, good alternatives are available for less money.
Functionally, the iPad Air is nearly identical to last year's model, offering only faster performance and better video chatting. But factor in design and aesthetics, and the iPad Air is on another planet. It's the best full-size consumer tablet on the market.
Portable, flexible, and very useful all describe the VersaStand for the iPad, one of the best iPad desk accessories we've ever seen.
The Office for iPad apps are a great middle ground between desktop and smartphone versions, and are a must-have for frequent Office users.
Pricing not available
Word, PowerPoint, and Excel are finally available for iPad, with what Microsoft says is an app built from the ground up for the larger iOS touch screen.
Pricing not available
The iPad 2 refines an already excellent product. Its easy-to-use interface, vast app catalog, and marathon battery life bolster Apple's claim to being the king of tablets.
With a host of improvements--faster graphics, 4G wireless options, a better camera, and a gorgeous high-res screen--the latest iPad cements its position at the head of the tablet pack.
