While I'm patiently waiting for my 3G iPad to arrive (okay, really I'm not being patient at all), I picked up a WiFi version of Apple's latest offering. In order to get the most out of the portable experience the iPad offers, I decided to pick up a new Sprint Overdrive. The Overdrive is one of Sprint's newest products. It acts as your own personal WiFi hot spot allowing you and four other users to access Sprint's high-speed data network. And the Overdrive works over Sprint's 4G network, which just so happens to be "live" here in Philadelphia.
My wife was near a local Sprint corporate store this afternoon and offered to stop in and pick the device up.
She began the new account activation process with a Sprint representative in the store; she'd never had an account with Sprint.
In order to open a new account, Sprint requires a credit check and an identity check.
That's where the fun began.
The credit check went fine, but then my wife was told she'd have to perform the identity verification with Sprint's third-party service over the phone in the store. Apparently this is something required of anyone attempting to open a new account with Sprint. She got on the line and was told she would need to answer a series of questions meant to ensure she was who she really was. The service rep. on the other end had a thick accent, and here's how things went …
Rep – First question, have you ever lived in any of these cities? New York, San Diego, Austin?
Wife - No.
Rep – Have you ever lived on any of these streets? Davis Lane, Dickenson Road, Smith Blvd, Goodard Place?
Wife – No.
Rep – Do you know any of these people? Jon Harris, Tom Burke, Jeff Reid.
Wife – Yes, One is my father.
The rep. then informed her that she had failed the identity verification and would not be able to open an account with Sprint; she was told she'd have to wait 60-days before trying the identity test again.
She handed the phone back to the Sprint rep., confused. After explaining that she had no idea why she'd failed, and mentioning that she'd had a hard time understanding the person asking the questions, the rep. decided to call the third-party service back. He got the rep's manager on the line and explained what had happened. She agreed to go through the process with my wife again.
The manager proceeded to ask the same series of questions over again. This time when she got to question 2 my wife had a revelation.
Rep – Have you ever lived on any of these streets? Davis Lane, Dickenson Road, Smith Blvd, Goodard Place?
Wife – Dickenson? That's not a Road. My freshman year in college I lived in Dickenson Hall.
Now keep in mind my wife is 43 years old and was a freshman in college over 20 years ago.
Rep – Dickenson Road?
Wife – Dickenson Road no, Dickenson Hall yes.
Then the rep. asked some additional questions.
Rep – Did you ever live in Chicago?
Wife – Yes
Rep – You sold an apartment there, what was the name of the person who purchased it from you?
Wife – I have no idea.
Rep – How could you not know?
Wife – I wasn't at the closing, my attorney was.
Rep – Please put the Sprint rep. back on the line.
My wife did so , and the manager informed him that she had once again failed the identity process. She had failed because she didn't know the name of the party who purchased an apartment from us over 10 years ago – we sold the place in 1998. My wife tried to explain to the manager that she wasn't even at the closing; the sale had been part of a job relocation, and our lawyers were there but that's all. We've sold three homes, and neither of us could name any of the three families who'd purchased them. But the manager would hear none of it.
Even the Sprint rep. was floored at this point, and the store's manager got involved as well, but they claimed their hands were tied. They were frustrated, realizing this ridiculous exchange was about to cost them business. They pleaded with the third-party rep., asking her if she'd ever sold a home and did she remember the buyer's name? She said she hadn't, but that her parents had and they knew them all.
Which brings us to a interesting point. Home sales are made public record. If Sprint is so concerned about protecting a person's identity, perhaps they shouldn't choose questions to which any person on the planet could gain access to the answers.
Now this tale gets even better. You see, I had a Sprint account in my name but closed it several years ago.
Guess what? The rep. was able to re-activate the account in my name without me even being there, or ever even speaking to me. The company which was so concerned about protecting identities allowed someone to re-open an account that wasn't in their name, sign up for service and sign a contract!
So what started out as an attempt to create a new wireless line of service, the thing which wireless companies covet, turned into a fiasco all because of questions over identity that were so outrageous I'm not even sure anyone could or should be expected to properly answer.
I realize protecting a person's identity is important. and Sprint means well. But there are right ways and wrong ways to go about this task.
What happened to the age-old question of "what was the name of your first pet?" ;-)
Clearly Sprint is doing it wrong.

Wimbledon Preview: Can Serbian Tennis Stud Novak Djokovic Get His Year Back On Track At Wimbledon & Defend Title?
Last year, Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic did the unthinkable he won the Australian Open, Wimbledon, US Open, and dominated men's tennis. Djokovic also won ten titles and only lost six matches in 2011. At the beginning of 2012, Djokovic won the Australian Open for the third time barely defeating Rafael Nadal. However, Djokovic's last title was the Miami Masters in March.
Djokovic lost the Monte Carlo, Rome, and French Open finals to Rafael Nadal. Nadal's is the greatest clay court player in men's tennis history. Djokovic is the reigning Wimbledon champion if he does not defend his title he will probably lose the number one ranking.
I think one of the reasons Novak is less dominant this year is due to the fact his beloved grandfather Vladimir died in April. The emotional and psychological trauma of his grandfather's death has affected Novak's game.
I believe Rafael Nadal is the only man who can seriously challenge Novak at Wimbledon. Since Roger Federer lost to Tommy Haas in the finals in Halle Germany, I am not sure if Federer can challenge Nadal and Djokovic. Federer has lost in the quarterfinals the past two years to big hitters Tomas Berdych and Jo Wilfred Tsonga.

When the pressures of life start smooshing your head like a vise, when outside forces conspire to turn your stomach into an ulcer factory, hold your head high, take a deep breath and run like hell. That's what Amadeus and I do, and I swear, it works like a Harry Potter spell.
Where you run is important– obviously, a crack house is not a good destination for stress-relief. Bars are smoky and can be quite expensive. Retail therapy is good if you have money, but if bills are a cause of your distress, it's not a realistic solution. This is true of Caribbean cruises as well. And hookers.
Our cure for the blues, and our escape from the daily grind is hiking. We literally head for the hills. We throw on our jeans, pack a few sammiches, grab some bottled water and take off.
When the weather's warm, we fish and camp out. When a chill hits the air, when the leaves turn to fire and start pirouetting from trees, we hit the trails.
I love doing this. I love the fact that my husband grew up here and knows these hills and valleys like he knows his phone number. We discover new places, and revisit ones that he's seen and wants to share with me. Seeing the world with him– even these small patches of the world– is one of my greatest pleasures.
Yesterday, we traveled about two hours away, to a fantastic trail head along the Buffalo River, deep in the Ozark Mountains. We took our cameras and clicked over 500 shots between us. What's funny to me is that, when we get home and unload our SD cards, we discover that a lot of the same things have caught our eye– we often take the same shots at identical angles, at different times. A million things to see on the trail, but the same stuff grabs us. We're spooky that way.
I wish I'd done this with my children. I wish I could have instilled in them a love of the Great Outdoors, but I never did. I was too busy trying to keep us afloat at the time, and a big backyard or football practice field was as close as we got to nature. I take comfort in the fact that I was raised a big city girl. When I first arrived in the Ozarks, twenty-something years ago, I had to inquire as to whether sheep bit. I couldn't identify a robin and I thought eggs grew in styrofoam boxes. I was a new bride, and my new groom moved us to a God-forsaken trailer in a God-forsaken pasture, where goats frolicked on the hood of my Volvo, chickens laid eggs in our living room and snakes occasionally greeted me on the porch. For some reason, the marriage didn't last, and those years didn't attune me to nature. That came later, when my son and daughter grew up and I had time to consider the things that made me happy. I fell in love with bicycling and bike trails, which led to walking trails which led to hiking and camping and fishing and tree-kissing. When I met Amadeus, I found someone who loved being outdoors as much as I do, and it's an integral part of our lives. Maybe there's hope for my kids yet. Maybe one day, they'll find solace in nature. I know that at their ages, I'd rather have listened to the Sex Pistols and chugged tequila. As my daughter points out, at this stage of the game, packing a bunch of crap into a car, wrestling with fish and sleeping on the hard ground is not her idea of relaxation.
The beauty of the woods is overwhelming. The shapes and textures of the trees tell us stories. There are boulders as big as A-frames and plants so stubborn they could grow through steel. Every leaf is a masterpiece. Animals are standing around, peeking at us through the brush, though we seldom see them.* Water bubbles up from deep inside the Earth and trickles over silk smooth rocks. Emerald green moss clings, fungi sprout like lace. Below is the river, as ancient as the world, winding like ribbon around bends and turns. I stop often as we walk the path, breathing the pure air, listening to the sounds of the rushing water and the wind pushing through the leaves. I'm in the moment. I can't think about anything but the woods. At the same time, my ADD does double time, because everywhere I turn, there are a million treasures– it's impossible to take it all in.
It's the most glorious art form. We joke about taking so many photos, but really, I understand why we do it. We're attempting to capture the thing that's making our hearts sing. We're trying to preserve it and take it home with us. Though it's impossible to recreate through a lens, we try. We sit in our living room and transfer the mementos of the day to our computers. We're tired and happy, our legs ache in a nice way. As we study each shot, we talk about what we were thinking when we took it– why a particular tree spoke to us, what a cutie the little snail-shell was, how impossible it was to capture the altitude of the trail or the gargantuan size of a rock.
When we hike, we're enveloped in a soft cloud of serenity and beauty. It rides home with us at the end of the day, and we float on it as we fall asleep at night. We wake up Monday morning, and our worries are greeting us at the door again, but somehow, they just don't seem as bad.
*One bear sighting and I'll be simultaneously crying, running, screaming and peeing in my pants.

Not only did we test the Pentax Optio W10 above the water, we have also submitted it to a fair share of underwater testing. It should be said that the water-proof housing adds a large, indisputable surplus value to the camera. The quality of the images proves excellent, and even the underwater shots generally suffice.
The Pentax Optio W10 is a camera that will appeal to a large audience. Moreover, it will prove right up the alley of those who love water sports. Photographing both in and around the water is very enjoyable indeed, and allows you to capture shots you normally wouldn't dare dream of, considering the risk of damage to the camera.
The Pentax Optio W10 is a very attractive camera, and will undoubtedly be the perfect holiday companion. A camera that ensures truly effortless, trouble-free photography; a successful concept!

I am only writing this review to clear all the doubts so you dont run away from a super awesome phone.
I ordered it from flipkart itself.One of the first ones to have it :)
1.> It feels great in my hands.Grip is awesome!
2.> Camera Quality is not top notch(like SE).But still good.
3.> Moto UI .. I changed it.Very easy in android.
4.> Fast - 1 GB RAM , 1 Ghz Dual Core - Wow!
5.> 4.3 Inch Touch screen.Makes reading books and playing games a sheer pleasure.
6.> Headphones are included and they have amazing bass.
7.> Battery life is good.Easily lasts more than 1 day with moderate usage on 2G.
8. Heck..its a 4G phone.Invest in future.
9.> Gorilla Glass.
10.> HDMI port 3:)
11.> LED Notifications..they make life easier.
12.> ICS in Q3 2012.
Things I knew I wouldn't like :
1.> Service - Samsung wins hands down.Moto is no where near.But I m just hoping that it wont require service.Feels solid.
Now the things that I don't like :
1.> Short length of charger cable.
I am a very lazy person and you can guess how much happy I am with this phone that I specially took the effort of writing this detailed review.
So if your fingers don't tremble while customizing the phone a little bit and you know that its not in the brand value but what's beneath the hood , then grab it
else wait for shiny Sony's and bland Samsung's.
5 stars for me :)
dual core
4.3 inch screen
8mp camera
8gb internal memory
more over the price is around 22k
very tempting!!!!!!
but wait...
there are things u need to know about this mobile
sadly this doesnt comes with headphones in the box(for US version ,not confirm for indian version)
screen is sharp but if u r a display lover,,,this is not at all okay... its just lcd and it hass terrible contrast ratio...i wish it had s.amoled or slcd or atleast amoled
moto services are not good in india(as u all know)
but there r no other mobile at this range which offers duak core and 8mp cam
galaxy R is out of stock
optimus 2x is discontinued
if u r in hurry,go for it
but if u can wait,, more r coming like sony xperia u and xperia p, htc one s,samsung galaxy s advance...
think b4 u buy...
hope u do smart shopping!!
Got the phone 2 weeks back from flipkart. I had been using the Samsung Galaxy S2 and LG Optimus 2x before this. Following are my observations when compared to S2.
Pros/Likes when compared to S2
1. Solid construction - The plasticky feel of S2 is something that has been debated over and over again by many people. My problem with S2 was mainly not with the feel, but with the extra thin waist which made you feel as if you'd drop the phone anytime while using it. The Atrix 2 on the other hand is a very solid phone and you'd feel the difference in construction immediately when you hold it.
2. The touchwiz UI is probably only my third preferred Android custom UI. Sense (though a resource hog) is the best and now I feel the Motoblur used in A2 is much better than Touchwiz in S2. You could feel the difference in implementation of the UI vis-a-vis the touchwiz UI especially if you are a business user and the customizations are neatly done and is not overboard. I especially like the features such as universal inbox and account management.
3. Notification LED - This is something that I've missed since the HTC Legend days and a really good feature to have.
4. Battery life - I easily breeze through the working day with 60% battery left with moderate use (2G only) with the phone. With S2 the battery would struggle through the day and I mostly had to carry my charging cable with me. With minimal use I have got the A2's battery to last 1.5 days which is very impressive for an android phone.
5. Camera shutter key - This again should be a part of every smartphone that gets released and is a good feature on the A2. One cannot launch the camera by just pressing the key though which would have been even better. The key is a bit hard to press also but I think it'd get better with use.
1. Performance - The A2 fares well during overall use, but the S2 absolutely gobbles it up in terms of pure performance. There are no lags experienced during general use but you'd feel the slight pinch while playing games when compared to S2. Games such as ShineRunner is a breeze for S2 and A2 performs adequately well with it. In addition to that A2 comes with 10 downloadable EA games which is good if you are a gaming enthusiast. In terms of pure benchmarks, I had got about 3.8k with S2 (with ICS) while the A2 scores around 2.1k with quadrant.
2. Screen quality - The S2 with its deep blacks and vibrant colors is a treat to watch and you'd notice the difference when you look at any other mobile screens. However if you want more natural colors and better screen resolution then the A2 is a very good proposition. The viewing angles are good and the sunlight readability is decent.
3. Camera - The A2's camera is good for your occasional photos and videos and for pics for uploading to Facebook. However you could see a lot of noise in pics even taken under good sunlight. In terms of camera quality I feel that the S2 is better than A2.
Overall its a very good phone to buy and is a true value for money product. Also thanks to Flipkart for the prompt delivery and for their support.
Hello Flipkart users...Motorola Atrix 2 is a very good phone....Still I want you to read this....
Motorola has stopped its operations in majority of Asia Pacific including India as part of a major restructuring plan put forward by the new Motorola Mobility CEO
Mr. Dennis Woodside.
I am wondering, why Flipkart raised the price from Rs 17299 to Rs 18500 at this point of time when Motorola has officially released a statement that they are leaving India.
Even though they stopped sales here they say the after sale support will continue well into the future, which we will have to wait and see as the support offered by Motorola is already criticized by many.
You can check the site of Motorola for India and other tech sites/blogs if you have any doubt regarding what I have given above. I am still wondering why Motorola is leaving one of the fastest growing mobile phone market in the world.
Even after confirming that Motorola is leaving India if you think that you can't live without this smart phone....Go for it...and ...Grab it quickly...coz the stock wont last for long..
I am a proud user of Motorola SLVR L7i for the last 5 years and still use it. I am sad that they are leaving...
Thank You...........
hey guys!
i got this phone from kolkata, about a week ago. I have been using this phone as my main device since then.
Positives : No lag whatsoever (however sometimes while surfing through the pages there is a mild yet ignorable disturbance) ; Support a lot of video formats so watching movies not an issue; superb build quality; screen resolution is very impressive; notification LED (small green light) to show u have unread msgs; smooth call handling ( nice crisp voice quality) ; dedicated camera button ; AND finally, DUAL core processor making life easy by smooth browsing.
Negative : Device does get heated up while browsing for a long period of time; Charger length a little short; only support HD videos (any format though); speaking of battery life to b very honest i dn think it is extraordinary but yes its better than some other android devices
Advices : Guys all in all this phone is a good buy bcz none of the devices are perfect and the biggest advantage of this device is its PRICE !!
So dn worry about MOTOROLA or MOTOBLUR.. this time Moto has done quite a feat of impressing us.
I bought this phone (Moto Atrix 2) exactly one year back and I need to saythat this is a beautiful phone. It is the best andro...Read More

CRB Has Invested 300 Million Yuan in Qinghe Moni Beer and Become Its Holding Company; Another Step Toward Unifying All Beer Companies in Liaoning Province (Translation)
14 June 2011
On the morning of June 9th 2011, China Resources Snow Breweries (China) Co. officially announced that they invested 300 million yuan in purchasing an 80.1% stake of North Green Food Co., Ltd. Qinghe Moni Beer Branch, and established a brand-new Snow Breweries (Tieling) Co., LTD.
China Resources Snow Breweries (Tieling) Co., LTD unveiled the nameplate the same day. The secretary of the municipal committee of Tieling, Wenke Li, and CRB Liaoning Province regional manager Yongzhuo Na unveiled the nameplate for the new company together. The inauguration ceremony was hosted by Qinghe County warden Lin Li, and other leaders also participated in the ceremony. Mayor Yesong Wu gave a congratulatory speech.
The annual production capacity of North Green Food Co., Ltd. Qinghe Moni Beer Branch is 190,000 kilolitres, which is the largest beer enterprise in the Liaobei area. Daocheng beer is the main brand of this company. Since the acquisition, CRB has already invested 40 million yuan in reforms.
The birth of this small-scale "little brother" in the Snow beer family brought plenty of attention from industry professionals. Liaoning province is the place where CRB had started its business in 1994 and later spread to the entire nation. The Three Northeast Provinces of China have become the base market for CRB as well as the market in Liaoning Province. The success of this acquisition means that the national brand CRB has taken a big step toward their dream of "unifying all the beer companies in their hometown Liaoning Province."
While the company in Tieling was going through the restructuring and integration earlier this year, Meixue breweries, located at Fuxin, also joined CRB.
It was reported that CRB owns multiple beer production enterprises in the cities of Liaoning Province including Shenyang, Dalian, Anshan, Panmian, Liaoyang, Dandong, Huludao, Chaoyang, Tieling, and Fuxin, and their total production capacity has exceeded 2.3 million kilolitres. Their distribution networks are spread all over the province, and definitely have advantages in the cities. As we can see, CRB has already formed a beer armada centreing on Shenyang, and the new structure of Liaoning Beer that is led by CRB has also become mature.
Industry professionals think the formation of new structure of Liaoning Beer, led by CRB, will bring to CRB not only the market honour, but also the moving-forward occupancy rate in the market as the synergistic effect emerges.
CRB owns production factories in Dandong, Dalian, Panmian, Huludao along the coast of the southwest Liaoning Province, Chaoyang, Fuxin in the west inland of Liaoning Province, as well as Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Anshan in the central section. This time they settled down in the north of Liaoning, which will have a significant effect in the upcoming busy season of beer-selling.
According to the research, the new company will import CRB's strict management and quality control system, which focuses on safety, environmental protection, higher quality, lower cost, and upgrading equipment and so on.
"After the intensive technology and equipment reformations, and multiple market testing, the technology and equipment fully qualify for producing Snow beer. It is already in operation producing Snow beer. The consumers in Tieling can now enjoy Snow beer that was brewed in their local area," says CRB Liaoning Province regional manager Yongzhuo Na.
About CRB (China) Co., Ltd.
CRB (China) Co., Ltd., established in 1994, is a professional beer production and management company. It is headquartered in Beijing, China. Its shareholders are China Resources Enterprise, Limited and the world's second largest beer group, SABMiller. CRB currently operates more than 70 breweries in China, including Snow brand, and holds more than 30 regional brands in the Chinese beer market, with 19.8% of market share. In 2010, CRB sold over 9.28 million kilolitres of beer. With 11% growth, the company's total production and sales have been ahead of other domestic beer companies for five consecutive years. In 2010, Snow's single-brand sales increased by 16% to reach 8.413 million kilolitres, consolidating its position as the world's leading beer brand.
About Snow Beer
In 1964, in a products rating competition in which all of the top Chinese beer companies had gathered, a new product among the beers won the top prize. It was all because of its rich, white, snow-like foam and long-lasting taste, like a flower, giving it its name: "Snow Beer."
In 2002, CRB (China) Co., Ltd. made Snow Beer into a national beer brand. Snow Beer has a fresh, light taste and is a positive, aggressive, challenging and innovative brand with high popularity among consumers nationwide. It has become a favourite beer among youth. The State Administration for Industry and Trademark Office declared the Snow brand "China's Famous Brand" in September 2007.
In 2005, Snow Beer sold 1.58 million kilolitres of beer and became number one in sales of single-product beer brands. In 2006 Snow became the fastest growing and most valuable beer brand; its brand value reached 11.185 billion yuan. After becoming number one in single-product sales in 2006, it had a new high record in 2007: 5.1 million kilolitres sold. Once again it reached the top of single-product sales in the Chinese beer industry. In 2007, Snow's brand value reached 13.658 billion yuan. Single-brand Snow sales increased by 19.1% in 2008; sales reached 6.1 million kilolitres, and it was given the "number one single-brand sales" title four times, becoming the world's number-one selling beer brand, with a brand value of 15.3 billion. Snow brand value increased to 37.726 billion yuan in 2009.

While Gardevoir is strictly a very good Pokemon in NU, most of the roles where it would normally shine are ones that other Pokemon in the tier can perform much better. Offensively, there is little reason to use Gardevoir over Jynx, a Pokemon with a fantastic secondary STAB, a sleep-inducing move in Lovely Kiss, greater Speed, and a Water-type immunity. Defensively, Musharna outshines Gardevoir thanks to its far superior bulk and more reliable form of recovery. However, Gardevoir is able to separate itself with its superb Special Attack stat and amazing ability, Trace. It also has some support moves, such as Healing Wish, Memento, and Destiny Bond, that are difficult to find in NU. Overall, Gardevoir still has a lot of potential, but you should always consider your other options before choosing it.
Gardevoir's most effective set is a simple offensive one that allows it to utilize its great Special Attack and good support moves. Psychic is first on the set, as it is Gardevoir's most powerful STAB move. Signal Beam grants it coverage against Dark-types and opposing Psychic-types with a slight chance of confusing any checks or counters that might switch in. Focus Blast gives Gardevoir a more powerful coverage move to use against Dark-types, particularly Skuntank and Mandibuzz, which are both hit neutrally by Signal Beam, while also offering coverage against Steel-types and the bulky Normal-types that commonly switch into it. Finally, Destiny Bond is a great move for Gardevoir to use in order to eliminate any Pokemon that might be threatening for your team. It also gives Gardevoir a reliable way to beat its main check, Skuntank, to open up a sweep for another Psychic-type later on.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With a Calm Mind set, Gardevoir can use its good special bulk and Speed to set up against weaker special attackers such as Tangela or Probopass. Once Gardevoir has attained a boost or two, its great Special Attack can break through many of the tier's bulkiest walls, while its high Special Defense stat can help it set up even further. Substitute helps Gardevoir by blocking status moves and preventing it from being revenge killed. Psychic is Gardevoir's best STAB move, while its last slot is primarily for coverage. Signal Beam should be the first choice, as it gives Gardevoir coverage against Psychic-types and Dark-types. It also gives Gardevoir a fighting chance to beat Musharna in Calm Mind wars. However, Thunderbolt can be used in the last slot as a way for Gardevoir to defeat Mandibuzz and bulky Water-types with greater ease.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With a dual screens set, Gardevoir is able to aid its teammates in setting up and thus works best on hyper offense teams. Gardevoir's combination of good Speed and access to the rare Memento distinguishes it from other dual screens users in NU. Reflect and Light Screen are used to double Gardevoir's teammates' defenses in order to help them set up and sweep opposing teams. Memento gives a free switch to a sweeper and further helps partners in setting up through lowering the opponent's Attack and Special Attack by two stages. The last slot is far less important, but both moves listed can be helpful depending on what you would prefer. Taunt can be used to keep opponents from setting up, Taunting Gardevoir, and phazing the partner you bring in after using Memento. Psychic is also great to help keep Gardevoir from being Taunted by faster users of the move and to break Substitutes of faster foes trying to dodge Memento.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
It is difficult to find other options for Gardevoir that aren't outclassed by other Psychic-types. For example, Choice sets might seem like viable options for Gardevoir, but Jynx typically runs them more effectively. Similarly, defensive sets have some potential thanks to Gardevoir's access to Will-O-Wisp and Wish, but other Pokemon, such as Musharna, Lickilicky, and Audino, have better mixed bulk. Lickilicky and Audino also have better defensive typing. A defensive Calm Mind set would also be run better by Musharna, further limiting Gardevoir's other set options. However, Gardevoir does have some some other move options that it can utilize well. Magic Coat can be used to reflect status moves, Taunt, and entry hazard moves back to the opposing side. Pain Split and Wish can also be used on any of Gardevoir's sets, though offensive sets typically prefer a move with better overall utility. Rain Dance and Sunny Day can be nice options to use on weather-based teams, especially on the dual screens set. Gardevoir sometimes struggles to find room for them, but if it can, both weather-inducing moves are very helpful. Charge Beam might sound like a cool option, but Calm Mind is typically better thanks to its consistency and the added Special Defense boost. Icy Wind can be a nice choice to slow down faster opponents on the switch, but normally only slower Pokemon like to switch into Gardevoir anyways. Shadow Ball is also a decent option in terms of coverage, but the coverage against Psychic- and Dark-types that Signal Beam provides is usually better. Finally, Gardevoir has access to three status-inducing moves, Toxic, Will-O-Wisp, and Thunder Wave, which can all help it support its team if you can find room for any of them.
Checks and Counters
Destiny Bond and Memento both make Gardevoir fairly difficult to defeat without major trouble, but it can definitely still be done. Dark-types, especially Skuntank, Mandibuzz, and Scraggy, are all reliable checks for Gardevoir, as it struggles to muscle past the three of them. Meanwhile, Skuntank and Mandibuzz can both Taunt Gardevoir to prevent it from using Destiny Bond or setting up Calm Mind or dual screens, while Scraggy can take a hit and set up alongside it. Special walls and tanks, such as Lickilicky, Audino, Mantine, and Regice, can all take a hit and either hit Gardevoir back with a coverage move or use Toxic against it. Metang can also take a hit from Gardevoir and hit it back with a strong Meteor Mash, while the dual screens set cannot use Memento against it because of Clear Body. Finally, if you are unable to wall Gardevoir well, it's still pretty easy to revenge kill it because of its average base 80 Speed. Almost any Choice Scarf user, especially Primeape, who can U-turn against it in case it wants to switch, can revenge kill Gardevoir fairly easily. Priority users also tend to make quick work of Gardevoir. Kangaskhan is able to beat it with Fake Out and Sucker Punch, while more defensive priority users, such as Metang and Piloswine, can both take a hit and pick off a weakened Gardevoir.

Get the bull (oops, I mean bill)thru the senate, like Harry promised, and have the house vote it down.
Then in the '14 elections this would be MORE he could blame on the Republicans.
Ultimate goal?
Win the house back in '14 and have the Democrats control all 4 branches of the Government.
Stan b & Elvis
In the case of this vote, a majority on the US Senate chose not to persue the bill. Simple. He got his vote.
As for backround checks, I have no problem with the nix check other than it is lacking in data that could and most likely would have prevented many from purchasing a firearm. ( mental health data, inter dept data, spousal abuse data all lacking from a nix check)
I am 100% in favor of making what we currently have work better, but that does not mean a national gun registry. IMO it means putting better data in the system.
Never trust a dog to watch your food!
What was really interesting is the ammendment to allow repriocity for carry permits, making one states permit good in all others, got a majority......i believe 51-49. I would have thought that one would have ended up similar to the Feinstein ban outcome. And please, please remember who voted for eroding your 2nd ammendment rights in every coming election from here on out. We all pretty much knew who was who in the Senate, but still, the sheeps cloak was ripped off these gun grabber wolves for all to see. I had written my Senators telling them that I would make it a point to rally support to defeat them in their next election whenever I could if they chose not to uphold the oath of the office they took. I will write Senator FRANKEN and KLOBUCHAR again to reiterate that point.
but maybe he has higher aspirations...its tough to be an astronaut one day and the next you are relegated to taking care of your loved one

If DC Comics were to produce an omnibus edition for Toth--or even two volumes, like they have for Ditko--what should they be sure to include in those 500-1000 pages?
Who knows? Maybe a DC reprint editor will see this thread...
- The original comic has to be published by DC or a company it acquired;
- It cannot be a licensed property (sorry, Hot Wheels fans); and
- If you can, keep track of page count for your post and as a total (this site or the GCD can help)
That's it! I'll start off:
from Adventure Comics #431, "Is a Snerl Human?" (8 pgs)
from The Adventures of Rex, the Wonder Dog #1-3 (44 pgs, incl. covers)
from Danger Trail #1-5 (42 pgs)
from Batman #442: "Death Flies the Haunted Skies" (11 pgs)
from Sinister House of Secret Love #3, "Bride of the Falcon" (36 pages)

Renée Crisafulli is an experienced nursery school teacher, brimming with enthusiasm, and the Voorheesville Community Preschool hopes she'll reverse declining enrollment as the program nears the half-century mark.
Jennifer L. Do was arrested April 8 for allegedly stealing jewelry from her step-grandmother. Chief Deputy Kerry Thompson of the Albany County Sheriff's Office says people should be cautious when allowing people to work in their homes.
The roughly $2 million budget proposed for next year is down slightly from this year, with a $20,000 in savings on court salaries since the village court has been consolidated with the town's.
A special-use permit to build a house in an industrial zone has neighbors balking; not at the possibility of a house, but at what they see as a property in disarray. They are hoping the New Scotland planning board places conditions on the permit to keep the property tidy.
Voorheesville has turned its school risk behavior task force into a community alliance, bringing more community members together to provide kids with alternative activities, in hopes of keeping them away from use of drugs and alcohol, and other risky behaviors.
While trying to balance the budget this year, Voorheesville is also trying to fill its assistant-superintendent-for-business position.

Here is the first sighting of a production F10 M5 in Singapore Gray, looking great with a Sakhir Orange interior. Despite all the different colors of F10 M5 prototypes we spied, this is the first look ever at the 2012 M5 in Singapore Grey. Singapore Gray is among the standard factory F10 M5 colors, the full list which are listed below.
Alpine White
Black Sapphire Metallic
Imperial Blue
Monte Carlo Blue
Singapore Gray
Space Gray
BMW Individual exterior color options include:
Brilliant White Metallic
Frozen Gray … CONTINUED
The 2012 M5 (F10) will come in a fairly extensive choice of colors, including some beautiful individual exterior color options. One of the individual exterior color options is Brilliant White Metallic, which we've spotted hanging out at BMW M HQ in Garching, Germany.
Besides the individual brilliant white metallic exterior paint, the this M5 also has other individual options, such as the black painted mirrors and wheels. The red leather interior looks great set off against the white and black exterior color scheme.
As for not having blue brakes, it's probably because it's not a production M5, but a factory test car.
We've put together a color preview guide for the F10 M5, which can be seen at http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=546540
We've compiled the following gallery of new renders, past spy photos, and samples from other BMW models to give you an idea of what the color palette will look like on the 2012 F10 M5. This will hopefully help our future F10 M5 owner members decide on the color for their new M5.
As we posted about recently, the F10 M5 exterior color palette will include:
The exterior colors are as follows:
Alpine White
Black Sapphire Metallic
Imperial Blue
Monte Carlo Blue
Singapore Gray

BOUNTIFUL — Michelle Francis knows immediately if a student is having trouble with a concept she is teaching.
Each child has a response device called Activote that allows him or her to indicate privately if help is needed. The device prevents students from feeling the embarrassment she once felt as a student, she said, when she didn't understand something but didn't want to admit it by asking for help.
It is in part thanks to the generosity of a donor from Virginia that the need in Francis' first-grade class at Valley View Elementary has been met.
Someone from New York is helping finance her latest requests, as is someone else from North Carolina.
Francis has taken advantage of DonorsChoose.org, a website that connects public school teachers with donors interested in supporting public classrooms.
"A lot of the stuff I wouldn't be able to have otherwise," said Francis. "It's not stuff you can ask parents for or that you can afford. It's been nice to be able to get things that I know I can use in my class."
To date, the association with Donors Choose has funded 40 projects in Francis' classroom that together cost $23,000. She is now seeking funding to purchase abacuses to help with math and materials for a reading station.
"This means a lot to my students too," said Francis. "Whenever I get a box they know it's from Donors Choose. We've talked about why it is that someone from across the country would want to help them. They know three or four of the donors now and they really get a personal connection. They know the donors want them to do well in school."
There are 249 public schoolteachers from Davis County that have received $180,000 to fund 352 classroom projects in the past year, according to a press release. Francis hopes others will participate as well.
At an informational session sponsored by Horace Mann, she shared information on the program. Horace Mann, an insurance company that focuses on educators' financial needs, has contributed $1.3 million to school projects through donorschoose.org since Feb. 2011.
It was a social studies teacher at Bronx high school who saw the need for such a site. Teachers there "experienced first-hand the scarcity of learning materials in our public schools," according to its website. Charles Best created donorschoose.org in 2000 so that individuals wanting to help distressed public schools would have an avenue to do so. Its aim is to engage the public in public schools, "by giving people a simple, accountable and personal way to address educational inequity," according to their mission statement.

A vintage photo of Mallwitz's Island Lanes, presumably from the 1980s, shows a much different alley than the one that stands today. Its patrons are dressed and coiffed for the times, bright yellows and reds flash across the walls, and strikes and spares are scrawled by hand. A modern-day snapshot illustrates the transformation that has occurred since the center's 1980 opening: 24 lanes feature computerized scoring systems and freshly oiled surfaces that glisten in the muted glow of black lights like a newborn's head after his first waxing. Other contemporary touches include a full bar, complete with a food menu headlined by popular wings.
The passionate, experienced instructors at Tonawanda Dance Arts, which houses two air-conditioned studios, transform pint-size fumblers of any skill level into prima ballerinas with a bevy of enriching classes. Dancers can choose from a blossoming assortment of styles, opting for the rigorous-yet-graceful ballet, the passionate and expressive lyrical, or the stoic and dignified standing still. Hosts of classes populate Tonawanda's busy schedule, allowing budding Fred Astaires to express themselves in myriad manifestations.
Paintballs and BBs whiz through the air across Buffalo Battleground's 13,000-square-foot indoor area, where opponents snipe enemies from behind obstacles or engage them head-on with wide-open barrages. Although the action can get intense, the staff takes every precaution to keep guests safe. Before arming them with their choice of shotgun, pistol, or assault rifle, the staff outfits guests with full-face protection and limits the velocity of ammo to 351 feet-per-second.
The Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum gives visitors a view of the inner workings of a company whose products became part of the American amusement landscape throughout much of the twentieth century. A network of seven different interconnected structures, the museum occupies the production facilities of the Allan Herschell Company, the carrousel cartel credited with thawing icy relations between humans and horses. Examine exhibits such as the Lockman Collection, an assemblage of 20 different hand-carved creatures that illustrates the stylistic evolution of carrousel animals, and the Wurlitzer Music Roll Shop, showcasing manufacturing equipment and more than 1,600 hand-punched music rolls designed to coax wooden beasts from their lumber slumber. Admission to the museum includes a complimentary ride on one of two on-site carrousels: a 1940s-era aluminum ride equipped with miniature mounts for kids only, and a carrousel sporting 36 adult-sized steeds that dates to 1916, the year it was discovered that horses aren't poisonous.
The historic 85-year-old Riviera Theatre welcomes moviegoers to experience the show-stopping splendor of an original 1920s movie palace, boasting no less than 1,150 seats and myriad perching possibilities for taking in a roster of Streisand's most beloved films. Beginning June 30 with What's Up, Doc? and concluding with The Way We Were on September 1, the film series presents nine of Babs's best flicks for ultimate fan perusal and trivia-night upsets at Fran Drescher's house.

In the wake of Tuesday night's street fight at Chavez Ravine, longtime fan Janet Ochoa sent the Dodgers an email.
"You should be ashamed of yourself for your bench-clearing brawls," it read. "Thanks for ruining what used to be fun family time."
Her message was given a prompt response from Brett A. Searson, Dodgers coordinator of fan services.

"While we wish what had transpired on the field last night had not occurred, it has always been a part of the game," he wrote.
That answer is not good enough anymore. It's been a common excuse offered by baseball executives to explain the game's increasing violence, but it's simply not good enough anymore.
In an era of high salaries and impossible ticket prices, athletes interrupting play to engage in bench-clearing brawls over perceived slights and ambiguous rules is selfish, dangerous and dumb. Teams should apologize to fans who have to witness it. Baseball should join other leagues in creating rules to prevent it.
You liked how the Dodgers showed teamwork and fight in pounding the Diamondbacks along their dugout rail? Then you could not complain when Wednesday's lineup did not include sensation Yasiel Puig. He went into a rage during the fracas and was sidelined with what the team described as a sore shoulder.
On Tuesday, a cool fight! On Wednesday, Jerry Hairston Jr. batting cleanup!
You also liked how the Dodgers were "protecting" Puig from what everyone agrees was a slipped pitch from the Diamondbacks' Ian Kennedy? Then you won't mind that this protection will cost them suspensions that could — and probably should — include the same guy they were trying to protect.
"It's stupid," Dodgers reliever J.P. Howell said Wednesday. "Can we just play ball?"
Howell was in the center of the mess when he punched Diamondbacks coach Turner Ward and nearly flipped him into the camera well next to the dugout. A day later, he seemed to realize how awful he looked, sprinting in from the bullpen to fight a stranger over a bad toss.
"It's silly, you know?" he said. "It's a bunch of grown men doing silly things. It's too bad, really."
What's really silly is that, if the same sequence of pitches occurred next week, or next month, it appears the Dodgers would clear their dugout again. After participating in two of baseball's most destructive brawls this season, they seem to have lost the ability to distinguish between fighting and fight.
The irony of Tuesday's brawl is that it was precipitated by the same basic play that started their fight two months ago in San Diego. Yet against the Padres, the Dodgers claimed innocence while against the Diamondbacks, the Dodgers charged guilt.
In both cases, a pitcher unintentionally lost a pitch. In San Diego, Greinke hit Carlos Quentin in the shoulder, while here, Kennedy hit Puig in the face.
The Dodgers claimed that Quentin was wrong to charge the mound but steadfastly defended their right to retaliate against the Diamondbacks.
"Do I think Kennedy hit Puig on purpose? No, I don't," said the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw. "But the fact that he's a professional pitcher and throwing at faces? ... You can't throw by the face, you can't go there."
But if Kennedy just lost the pitch, where does it matter how he lost it?
And surely Kennedy can't be faulted for pitching inside to a batter who has reached base one out of every two times in his young career.
In earlier times, a hot kid like Puig would expect to be dusted back, and if the ball veered into his face, it was bad luck, not evil intentions. His teammates wouldn't have ordered retaliation, but welcomed him to the big leagues.

So how's married life after five months?
"It's been amazing," said Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein, who took the hand of Shalin Spani in marriage on July 21 this past summer. "It's been awesome walking through this season together. There were definitely things that have gone as I expected, and some I didn't expect. You never really know until you are there."
Quizzed on what surprised him, he said, "I knew it would be fun, but it's been an absolute blast. To do everything with your best friend all the time … it's just been a blast. I knew we were going to have fun, but it's been an absolute blast every day."
So, is Shalin a good cook?
"She is," said Klein. "She's kept me eating healthy."
And of any other outstanding quality, Collin said, "She's funny. We laugh so much about everything."
For sure, being the daughter of former Kansas State All-American and Kansas City Chief linebacker Gary Spani, Shalin knew football before she said 'I do' to Klein. But being No. 7's best friend … the quarterback of the Wildcats … she's learned even more about the offensive side of the ball.
"She goes with me to Vanier to watch film from time to time, or we'll just be at home and she'll say, 'Do you want to watch film?'," said Klein, who was accompanied by his wife on the awards circuit to Orlando, Baltimore and New York City earlier this month. "The first few times I thought, 'This is crazy,' but we have a great time with it and she has a pretty good grasp of what's going on."
That comes from the Spani background that Klein has come to love.
"The whole family is just amazing," said Klein. "Getting to know them has been a blessing. We talk some football, but it's more about life on life, and family on family. Football's not the most important thing. It's been a lot of fun, but I know it's going to be a lot more fun in the future with or without football."
This type of fun has, at least in part, made up for some lost time with his brother Kyle, a reserve wide receiver on the K-State team.
"It's been different and I haven't had as much time with him, but we still make it a point to go out to dinner at least once a week," said
Kyle of losing his older brother to marriage. Laughing, he added of Shalin, "I don't want to call her one of the guys, but she fits right in with the rest of us."
While his brother has been Heisman-like on the football field, Kyle says, "He's an even better person. Nothing impresses me more about him than his faith. That's what I try to immolate. His belief is the most important thing in his life. I want to be like that."
Pausing, Kyle added, "Collin has always been my best friend. Sure, we had our brother backyard tussles, but we were always best friends. We shared a room together the whole time we lived at home."
With a pair of degrees earned in the area of finance, Klein says he's ready to move on to the next chapter in his life.
He admits to thinking about the NFL "some, but not much," and adds, "I know God has given me this ability and desire for the game for a reason. I want to maximize that gift for as long as I am supposed to, and then when that door closes, I'll move on to something else, and that will be fine."
Wherever Klein's future takes him, he'll be a K-Stater for life.
"I had a foundation in place when I arrived through my parents and my faith," Klein said. "But to be coached by coach Snyder the last few years, and to see how he uses the "16 Goals For Success" in his daily life, and our daily lives as a team, has allowed me to grow tremendously."
As a retired coach, Snyder said of his first-ever meeting the Klein, "I noticed he was a humble young guy, who was very friendly. We engaged in a dialogue in a lot of different things."
As to when Klein met Snyder for the first time ... "From the exchange of a few words, I remember how sincere he was. He asked how I was doing, and I knew he really meant it. He was not just saying it."
Later when Snyder returned as the coach of the Wildcats, Klein said, "I remember the first team meeting and we had those "16 Goals For Success" in front of us. The message of that meeting was, 'All I ask is to be better today than we were yesterday. If we do that, we'll be ok.' "
Then as a returning coach of the Wildcats, Snyder said of Klein's leadership qualities compared to Michael Bishop's of 1998: "People responded to Michael because of the plays he made. He made a lot of mistakes, but he was extremely athletic and his end result motivated a lot of young players.
"With Collin, players respond not only because of what he does, but what he is in other areas than football," said Snyder. "With Michael, it was just on the football field. The leadership Collin has earned encompasses more than the football field."
When Klein looks back on this 2012 Big 12 championship season, and the senior class of 2012, he'll sum up the experience with the word "perseverance."
"A lot of us were here when we weren't able to get as many wins," said Klein. "We continued to push through when things were not going so well, and we never gave up on each other. There was a purpose to why we were all here together. Things haven't always been easy, and haven't always been perfect, but in a single word, I would say we persevered."

Dr. Future, August 9th, 2011 - Hacker warnings, Kinect 3D scanning, Flexible screens, Holographic Universe, Large Antimatter Cache, DNA from Space?
Live from our vacation in Montreal, Quebec, Dr. and Mrs. Future discuss with our guest co-host in KSCO's new studio, Michael Shane Sigmon, the Future News of today, including hacker warnings to RIM, Blackberry's creator, Taliban anti-helicopter strategies, how the Kinect Box is revolutionizing 3D scanning on an archaeological dig, the rise of insanely flexible screens, more evidence of a holographic universe, motion capture in the streets, DNA building blocks from space, a major cache of antimater found, and the world's largest stop motion animation via cell phone cams.
As an extra bonus, you'll also meet Dr. Future's family, 'Mother Future', and 'Sister Future'.. :-)
Dr. Future - August 2nd, Scientist Joe Jordan and Solar expert Carl Reuter on the Future of Solar Energy, Now..
Much has been promised from the world of solar energy, the potential is unbelievable. There is more power in the solar energy hitting the planet every day, for example, than all our reserves of coal and oil. But what has actually been delivered so far, and what can we expect in the near future, given the rapid advance of technology and our will to use it?
Joe Jordan, founder of Sky-Power, has worked at NASA Ames for 20+ years and is very bullish on solar. He is an affiliate of ASES (American Solar Energy Society), NCSEA (Northern California Solar Energy Association), and CARET (Consortium for Advancing Renewable Energy Technologies).
Carl Reuter has a long history in solar, having installed many a backwoods system, long before the recent advent of Grid-tie solar that has brought many young companies to the market. He has been in the solar trenches locally and can give us a very pragmatic perspective of what is real now with solar.
Dr. Future - July 26th, Author James Fadiman and his "Psychedelic Explorers Guide-safe, therapeutic and sacred journeys"
Our guest today invisions a future where we are able to embark on safe, therapeutic, and sacred psychedelic journeys. Here's what a few sages on the topic have to say about Dr. Fadiman and his new book:
"James Fadiman, one of the foremost pioneers of scientific research of the potential of psychedelic substances for therapy, self-discovery, spiritual quests, and creative problem-solving, has written an invaluable guide for safe and productive sessions. Based on more than forty years of the author's experience in the field and presented in a clear, easily understandable style, this book is a breath of fresh air, dispelling the mis-information that has been disseminated over many decades by sensation-hunting journalists and fear-based antidrug propaganda. The publication of The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide could not be more timely; it coincides with a major renaissance of interest in psychedelic research worldwide. The information that it provides will thus be useful not only for the hundreds of thousands of people involved in self-experimentation but also for the new generation of psychedelic researchers."
(Stanislav Grof, M.D., author of LSD: Doorway to the Numinous )
"James Fadiman was the Forrest Gump of the psychedelic sixties. He witnessed the first flowerings of that amazing era of mindexpansion, then kept popping up for cameo appearances whenever the action got particularly interesting and enlightening. Now, riding a new wave of scientific research into the beneficial use of these misunderstood substances, Fadiman is back with a practical and at the same time inspiring guidebook for the next generation of entheogenic explorers."
(Don Lattin, author of the bestselling The Harvard Psychedelic Club )
"Approaching his subject from intimately historical, psychological-cultural, and accessibly authoritative perspectives, Fadiman's psychedelic magnum opus establishes the benchmark reference for anyone interested in understanding, experiencing, or supervising the effects of this unique family of psychoactive substances."
(Rick Strassman, M.D., clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine and author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule )

Front Page Quotations Other Quotes Week of 10 April, 2011
Quotations about Liberty and Power
About this Quotation:
A recurrent theme in classical liberal thought both in Europe and America is the notion that those who benefit from taxes, whether by working for the state or receiving state funded subsidies and grants, form a separate group with distinct interests from those who pay the taxes from their earnings or savings. In the 19th century James Mill (the father of John Stuart) distinguished between those who "pillage" and those who are "pillaged" and this idea was an important component in the political thought of the "philosophic radicals". The English radical John Wade made this idea a key part of his analysis in his Black Book in which he listed all the beneficiaries of government subsidies in Britain in the 1820s and 1830s. In a cartoon which accompanied the 1835 edition he showed Gulliver (as the British taxpayer) bound and tied on the ground by government officials and tax recipients (as the Lilliputians) who rifle his pockets. Another depiction of this same idea was provided by the French cartoonist and caricaturist Honoré Daumier in "Gargantua" (1831) in which King Louis Philippe is shown as a classic example of the "tax eating" ruler. By the 1840s the French liberal political economist Frédéric Basiait (1801-1850) had developed these ideas into a more sophisticated analysis of what he termed "legal plunder." His planned "History of Plunder" never eventuated because of his premature death in 1850. All we have is a sketch of what he planned to write on this interesting topic. On the other side of the Atlantic the Southern agrarian Jeffersonian republican John C. Calhoun (1782-1850) concluded in a very similar fashion in his Disquisition on Government (1843-1848) that "the necessary result, then, of the unequal fiscal action of the government is, to divide the community into two great classes; one consisting of those who, in reality, pay the taxes, and, of course, bear exclusively the burthen of supporting the government; and the other, of those who are the recipients of their proceeds, through disbursements, and who are, in fact, supported by the government; or, in fewer words, to divide it into tax-payers and tax-consumers."

Other quotes about Taxation:

Read the full quote in context here.
In a similar fashion to John C. Calhoun's division of the world into net "tax-consumers" and net "tax-payers", the Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) distinguished between the ordinary citizens who paid taxes and the public sector entities like the New York subway which "consumed" the taxes paid by the former. This is a classic example of what Mises in 1945 termed "the clash of group interests":

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is.

Plan on putting on front lawn, though I wish the flag was bigger. It is usually very windy here and hanging a flag from the house is impossible, so this lawn stake will show my patriotism and won't go flying away

Poor quality product
By gardengram
from Kaukauna, WI
loved these when we got them but with in a few weeks the finish was bubbling and the "wood" was separating in layers. Seemed to be made from heavy cardboard. The hand holding the flag became to soggy to hold the flag. Complained to Miles Kimball but were told it was over thirty days so they wouldn't do anything about them. All we wanted to do was make them aware of shoddy products
