Ebay is fine, my account has over 100 feedback, most of which is from buying from others, and I've sold a few laptops. No problems to this point. As long as the seller has good feedback, you're set. And paypal will side with you if you have the necessary proof to show you aren't at fault.

You could try selling on Amazon. They'll still charge you a fee, but I don't think it's that much for computer parts.
Don't you need a paid subscription to sell on Amazon?

no it's free. if it's your first time selling i believe they make you wait 30 days until you can request cash for your sale. i have sold on both amazon and ebay but nothing in the last 18 months.
i still haven't found what i'm looking for...

I've bought loads of stuff from Ebay and have had no issues getting my items and them being just as described.
I've bought tons of stuff from Amazon Marketplace over the years and had on issue, someone sold me a dvd which they never send, after contacting Amazon they promptly refunded my money and I went on about my business.
I'd trust Amazon far more than I would Ebay as far as buying and selling goes. Amazon always makes things right, I haven't had enough experience with Ebay to know if they are capable and willing to fix issues.

EBay is fine but usually my last stop when looking for something. Even if a seller has great feedback, I check to see what the negatives say. If there's a common trend of the seller making dumb mistakes then I won't buy even if they have like 98% positive feedback. Negative feedback for slow shipping or something is fine, a trend of sending the wrong items or not replying to contacts, though, is not.
For reference, after many, many years of buying things online I've only had like 1 or 2 issues buying from EBay and I've had about the same amount buying from third party sellers on Amazon. It's not about whether or not you have issues but whether or not they can be resolved and I've never had a problem getting things resolved. Amazon is particularly fast about resolving issues, though. I've gotten full refunds in just a couple hours from Amazon. Very nice.

You have nothing to fear with eBay as a buyer as I'm a user of both (Amazon and eBay, sell and buy om both as well) and with the way eBay fears customer retaliation I'm willing to bet their customer service is better than Amazon's. They are *****s to sellers though. 98% feedback? Good god that's good, I would never judge a seller solely based on the number, as you should actually read their feedback scores and see what's what as many buyers are just little ****s who screw with sellers since sellers can't leave negative feedback on them anymore.

I used to use ebay a LONG time ago when it was first around. I loved ebay. It was cheap to buy and sell, generally never had any problems.... then it became so popular, you can't really find good deals. Then they started adding tons of junk on there, so when I search for a car part, I find parts from Hondas, because some idiot wants to include every maker of every car on his page. Then they jacked up the fees to insane amounts. Now I hear horror stories such as the one above, where people buy stuff, and sometimes even junk it or say they never got it, and ebay/paypal usually stick to the side of the buyer.
Now specifically for what you are purchasing, green-sum and dreamseller are the top two trusted sellers of these very popular Korean monitors. I can all but guarantee you will not have issue with either of these sellers. I recently purchased from this guy, they sell tons of these things. If you just got "hacked", it sounds like you had a virus, so I am not sure what to say... that is about the only way you can get your account stolen.

LOL! The seller finally contacted me and said that he already shipped the item. What sucks is I already ordered another monitor on Amazon but it wasn't nearly as cheap. I just sent the Amazon seller a request to cancel. Hopefully they get my cancellation request early enough to cancel the shipment. I have no idea what ebay customer support is smoking because when I called them, they said the order was cancelled and the item was not shipping. I told them I was worried about ordering another monitor and then I'd receive both and have to pay for the shipping. They assured me it was cancelled and there won't be an issue ordering another monitor. I know this is ebay's fault for misinforming me that my account was hacked and that the order was cancelled, but I feel like giving the guy a bad review for ignoring my messaged for so long. Guess I'll see what happens with this whole thing and maybe I'll get over it in a week.

I saw a sample book and thought it was good, but I don't know about the videos.

zdlswife did you try it on another baby or your March baby?
My friend tried it, and it's worked pretty well with her son, who is 18 months old and can do a few of the movements with the flashcards, but I don't know that it's worth all the money. I think it's something you could do with just making your own flashcards and working with your child - which is cheaper than $200.00.
She loves using it though - got it as a bday present from her husband.
my grandmother is planning to get this for allie for christmas. we'll see...

Personally, I won't be spending my money on that. I can read to my daughter and provide my own flashcards, and frankly, I don't think I need to be pushing reading on her before she can walk. She will learn in her own time when she is ready, with me encouraging an interest in books all the way.

Hallelujah! this is the best news that i heard all season (aside from amare and melo) thank god do u think donnie secretly visits this site....
i wonder as i dream about not 1 not two but 7 championships in my head lol
I dont like it. For these reasons:
1) MOA still has the final say on who plays. This reason alone is enough for us not to get to excited. If we hire a defensive assistant what makes you all think the players that are better defensively are gonna play?
2) Being that MOA still has final say we could still lose out on players that fit any type of defensive scheme we try to implement. A player like Jeff Foster still may not want to sign with us, and if he does what guarantee does he have that he's gonna get burn? A guy like this we can use coming off the bench.
Its better for everyone if MOA just leaves outright...

Posting and Toasting
If every move the Knicks make is trying to fit the coach, it would be far less trouble to just get rid of MOA and hire someone more flexible.
In Phoenix, Mike D left a team that seemed to have problems finding the right mix of players after trading the Matrix for Shaq. And Nash has been gettin older even though he still nice and same with Grant Hill....Is this something that Mike D woulda ever came to the conclusion that he needs to do on his own? He sure seemed insecure the first time the media asked him about hiring a defensive assistant. On the flipside maybe its not just because the knicks front office is being encouraged to hire a defensive assistant, but maybe he was already beginning to come to that conclusion after the playoffs. Maybe he seen these other teams like Boston, Miami, and Chicago all playing great defense and finally realized that he wont be successful if his team dont play more defense. We'll never know, but I tend to side more with the "hes mainly doing it because the knicks front office is telling him to" opinion
Certain guys on this squad are going to get minutes...all year you begged and moaned and bitched that MDA isn't preaching defense, and that it "didn't matter" what the roster was (these are YOUR statements), any coach should be able to preach, and get the team to play better, defense. Now, it looks like we will be getting a coach on the staff that can do so, exactly what you wanted...no?
In fact

He doesnt have the experience necessary to make offensive and defensive switches to end games. I just watched how Lionel Hollins did just that to close out SA. Switching in Mayo & Allen and vice-versa. Know why Hollins knows this is the thing to do. He played hard fought games in the NBA playoffs. Has Mike? Would Mike be willing?
As far as the roster everyone thinks that this roster needs some upgrades. Heck I thought Walsh did an excellent job upgrading this past year. We wouldnt know it because a few of the players never saw any burn.
Fellow Knick fans you actually trust MOA to do the right thing as far as playing time when it comes to bigs?
Also let me add this roster as currently constructed wont be a juggernaut defensive team. Billups will have problems staying in front of most PGs. Fields should be OK. Melo should be fine STAT needs to work with someone. We have no center.
But even if we got a center, a defensive coach whats going to keep MOA from trying to exploit matchups offensively? Shawn Williams on Dwight wont work defensively no matter who the coach is. You could bring back RED HOLTZMAN and it wont work.
We need a new HEAD COACH...
We still have roster issues, let alone rotation and overall strategic decisions that are controlled by Mike. And he has demonstrated his propensity to base these decisions on his flawed approach i.e. Not valuing Randolph etc...
So I get it. A defensive assistant really can't help without an overhaul in philosophy and approach by Mike.
I think the positive aspect is, this is an indication that the primary decision makers (Walsh & co.) know what the deal is. This may be either a prelude to the end of Mike, or can be a strategic move knowing he might not accept it in the first place.
But yeah if Mike disagrees he can still subvert our goals in many ways as he's done since his arrival- directly or indirectly.
Clyde just spent the last year saying the roster doesn't need an overhaul. In fact there was a long debate with Trillion, I believe, about how the roster still needed a ton of work and Clyde stated that if a coach preached defense this roster could work and play better defense...
Now the roster DOES need an overhaul, despite the fact that we are getting a coach in who apparently will preach defense?
It's obvious what's going on here...

Posted on 11/26/2008 11:14:45 AM PST by Red Badger
Peter Orszag, the current director of the Congressional Budget Office, smiles as he listens to U.S. President-elect Barack Obama speak about choosing Orszag as his choice for director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) during a news conference in Chicago November 25, 2008.
I am bald also, but THAT WIG IS AN ABOMINATION!......
you mean Obamanation
wow. That is without question the worst wig I have ever seen.
Looks like Vinkman from Ghostbusters.
He must be a Libertarian.
They spent about 30 minutes on Don Imus' radio show this morning ragging on this monstrosity. By the end of that segment the general consensus (since the hourly sports report came in the middle of it) was that it looked like he was playing golf and somehow ended up with a divot on his head from a 9-iron.
Tip for you gentleman going bald,just shave it all off and put a shine on it. Wigs are not attractive.
Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where George wore a toupee that made Elaine crazy.
Not to mention the nose that is sucking up his upper lip, as Don Rickles used to say.
I'm really not a believer in nose jobs, but maybe I'd make an exception in his case.
That can't be a wig - he forgot to take off his mink hat.
It appears the Obamanation team is full of vain and unaccomplished narcissists.
I'm still waiting to see how Obama uses the Kerry/McCain/Miss Lindsey Graham troika of traitors.
I think he knows something Donald Trump doesn't know.
Agreed but bald guys have my sympathy. It doesn't just happen in one day which is why we see years of "come overs". Fortunately for some, the "skin head" look is now popular.
What in God's name is that thing on his head?????
If that thing is real, it's a curse! Assuming it isn't real, WTF is this guy thinking? Do we really want someone making major economic policy decisions that would choose to look like this?
Someone get this guy a bag..... (or a dunce hat)
wiping screen
Fred Thompson had his Hollywood stylists sculpt his do to match mine . I have no respect for someone who would wear a dead cat on his head and think I lacked manners because I couldn't help laughing .
Mutual Satisfaction Society Club...............
Anybody got that pic of Traficant from an old FR thread?
I mean, EVERYBODY can see it's a RUG! I would be soooo embarrassed just to be seen in public, and THIS GUY'S ON NATIONAL TV!!!!!.................
Is he out of prison yet?..............
No, he's a WHIG!.........
I thought he had a hat on...
Is Jim Traficant still using his crown topper while in prison?
I believe he's still in until 2010...
I thought he had a hat on...
I don't know if he's Jewish..............
At least his doesn't look that bad.............
I bet he could run and get his old seat back!..........
Bwahaha! Thanks, I couldn't find any pics on the original thread started by former freeper Registered; one of the funniest threads on FR!
It's all your fault that my colleagues now think I've lost my mind, as I sit in front of my computer, laughing uncontrollably. That's as funny as 0bambi with the acorn on his head.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH this thread is killing me! ROFL!
this thread is a riot
Either way, this guy needs to go on Opra and get himself a make-over.
Back off, I'm a scientist :0
I miss that cat; humorous as all get-out.
Jeff Goldblum has not aged well.
Jeff Goldblum? I thought it was Harold Ramis' kid.
What the...dude's got a guinea pig sleeping on his head!
Good one!

Twerking ain't working for Miley Cyrus
- From: news.com.au
- September 02, 2013
IF sales reports are anything to go by, twerking ain't working for Miley Cyrus.
It's been nearly a week since that performance at the VMAs - and while Miley dominated water-cooler chats at your office, her tongue-baring gyrations weren't enough to claim the top of the charts.
That honour went to another VMA diva, whose locker room anthem is on track to become one of the top sellers of the year.
Katy Perry's Roar is Australia's number 1 single for the third week in a row, claiming the ARIA's peak position ever since debuting last month.
The latest Aussie charts, out today, show Roar has already gone platinum in Australia with sales over 70,000.
Perry closed the awards ceremony with Roar last week, dazzling critics and fans with a show-stopping performance under the Brooklyn Bridge.
To be fair, it's been out for three months, has gone double platinum and peaked well inside the top 10.
Her stage-mate Robin Thicke, who was on the receiving end of that headline-grabbing twerking also had a mild sales jump following the controversial performance. His jam Blurred Lines jumped two spots to number 15 and has gone platinum six times.
Gaga opened the VMAs last week to mixed reviews, and music-shoppers don't appear too fussed on the song, which is the first single from her upcoming album.
Applause hit the shelves the same week as Roar but has so far failed to crack the top 10. It's sitting at number 11 again this week and hasn't notched up 35,000 sales.

Nit Picks 1: No respect
- We are so damn close to having a de facto 8 team playoff in College football right now. This is really a week or two early but it could so easily set up where we have what amounts to four play in games. Thanks to the Pac-12 cannibalizing itself, we could have four conference championships with four teams slated to get in with a win. Think about it:
– Florida faces Alabama in the SEC championship. Both have 1 loss. Winner is in. (That's the easy part – the one that will definitely happen).
– Oklahoma and Oklahoma State face off in bedlam. Oklahoma is a strong 1 loss team and Oklahoma State is perfect. Winner wins the Big12 since Baylor and TCU have each lost and Oklahoma should have the edge over either of them. Winner is in. (This is less of a sure thing, but the winner of that game has to be an odds on favorite to get into the Playoff.)
– Unbeaten Ohio State and Iowa are undefeated and they face eachother in the Big10 championship. Winner should be in. If Ohio State wins it is a sure thing. Nobody wants to go to bat for Iowa, but if they run the table and beat the defending National Champion, they NEED to get a shot at the playoff, even if they are a 10 point dog to Bama.
– Clemson is undefeated and they play a 1 loss UNC. This is where it falls apart…
- I PERSONALLY think that a 1 loss UNC should get in, but the fact of the matter is that if Notre Dame's 1 loss is to a team that had been #1 for a significant portion of the year, they probably get the nod over a UNC team from a not particularly strong ACC that lost to the trainwreck SC program. I would actually love to see Notre Dame treated as no different from a mid-major. I think that a conference championship should be more or less a prerequisite for a playoff berth, but that's clearly not the view of the committee, who has ND in the mix, potentially over a 1 loss conference champ. Hopefully the Eagles can take it to ND today and render that a moot point.
- Speaking of which, ND playing a HOME game against BC at FENWAY PARK is the most outrageously disrespectful thing that I've seen in my life. Slap in the face doesn't begin to describe it. God I hope that the Eagles can pull off a USC-esque shocker.
- Just kidding, UNC running up the score every week and still being ranked below teams with 3 losses is more disrespectful.
- Boise State is a joke…4 losses, so turning it around against the spreads is my only hope at this point. Here we go:
Michigan (-3) over Penn State
UNC (-5) over Virginia Tech
Houston (-6) over UConn
Michigan State (+13) over Ohio State
Wake (+31) over Clemson
LSU (+7) over Ole Miss
USC (+6) over Oregon
Oklahoma State (+2.5) over Baylor
Texas A&M (+3.5) over Vanderbilt
TCU (+17) over Oklahoma
4-6 last week, 42-45-3 (ew) on the year

Posted on 03/29/2014 8:28:20 AM PDT by kristinn
Our Noel Sheppard passed away yesterday (Friday) morning at about 5:00 AM. Say a prayer for the soul of a man we'll all miss professionally, and many, many of us will miss personally as well. Noel was not just a force of nature, he was a very good man.
How quickly this all happened. Just two months ago, Noel wrote about suddenly getting cancer at 53 called "Cancer's Ray of Hope." Nine days ago, he wrote us and said he was interested in writing about his "progress" -- and he put "progress" in quotes. We were all wishing for better news, and really couldn't imagine this was a battle that would end this way.
Noel joined us and was introduced to us by Matt Sheffield at the founding of NewsBusters in 2005, and he became our Associate Editor. It must be said that no blogger here was more prolific and more popular. We'll have more to say in the coming days.
Requiescat in pace.
Agree completely. Prayers for the family.
Sad news
Sorry to hear this. Hate to loose good people. Hate to see anyone lose battles in life, in particular the final one.
Condolences to family, friends, and associates.
Prayers for him and his family. A good man.
Oh no. RIP - prayers up for his family.
That was fast.
Wow. Two months?
So sad.
I'm so sorry to hear this ..
May he rest in eternal peace.
Very sad news. R.I.P. Noel Sheppard.
So shocked!
Brian Sussman would have him as a regular on the morning show on KSFO.
A great loss. It happened so soon, too. Horrible!
Sheppard was a rare man; a conservative journalist. He will be missed.
Everybody will die on this mortal coil (that's why it's called mortal). Many with less warning of the probable day. God could call your soul tonight. Were you at least trying to invest your life in a saving God? That's the only way anyone can leave his sin behind.
Sorry to hear of Noel's passing at such a young age.
Condolences to his family and colleagues and patriots at heart.
A well loved lady at church passed away from cancer only 43 days after being diagnosed.
Sorry to hear this. Prayers up.
Noel was one of the good guys.
To our brethren at Newsbusters/MRC, keep fighting the good fight.
Cancer is wicked.
My prayers for his sweet soul and his grieving family.
Lord, hear our prayers.
Sadness indeed..such a good man I was hoping for a miracle..RIP Noel you are now with the angels in heaven
Wow. So sad, so young. And so many of his Newsbusters articles posted here over the years.
May his soul be greeted by his Lord and his family find comfort at this very sad time.
I agree with you. No, I don't spend enough time investing in God. It's a question worthy of thought isn't it.
Thanks HTR.
Did not know him personally but he was very helpful to the mini-drudges of the world. He would always give a HatTip to info found by Freepers and helped me get some stories up the chain (to Malkin then to Drudge)
RIP Noel!
So many stories mentioned FR. Would be surprised if he was not a member.
Prayers for his family and loved ones....
To that I'd add: He was a rare man, a journalist.
Our definition stands.
Lord Jesus Christ, rest the soul of Thy servant Noel with the saints and comfort his friends and his family.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
This is the Shep I wish Fox News had hired.
You fought the good fight, bro. We'll pick up your sword and carry on.
RIP, Mr. Sheppard.
So sad. It's hard to lose one of the good guys.
Condolences to those who loved him.
One of the few names that I thought of when I thought of Newsbusters. What a terrible shame.
This is a ping list for cancer survivors and caregivers to share information. If you would like your name added to or removed from this ping list, please tell us in the comments section at this link (click here). (For the most updated list of names, click on the same link and scroll to the end of the comments.)
He passed on far too quickly and far too young. Deepest condolences to his family and friends.
Saying prayers and offering condolences to the family.
RIP Noel Sheppard.
Thanks for the ping.
He was too young and I was astonished at the short time he had after diagnosis.
sorry to hear this. i pray that our Lord prepared him for this day. my condolences and prayers for his family, wife and children.

On April 15, pressure cookers exploded at the Boston Marathon, wounding 264 people and killing three others. Earlier this week, Rolling Stone magazine generated immense controversy when they placed suspect Tsarnaev Dzhokhar on their cover, in a flattering image that portrayed him as some sort of rock star. Many believe it was a terrible move - and they may be right.
In the photo, Tsarnaev looks casually at you off the magazine rack with seemingly friendly eyes and nicely-tousled hair. Superimposed over him are two bold words: "The Bomber." It's a seemingly perverse juxtaposition of camera-ready glamour and dark, troubling words. The 19 year-old Chechen-American who struck fear into the hearts of Bostonians is here depicted beneath the same sort of spotlight that has been shone on major musicians and actors; that alone is troubling.
Not long after the cover photo went online, it sent people throughout the country into fits of fury.
The International Association of Firefighters, whose union workers responded to the disaster, called the cover photo "despicable," and added, "Journalism is one thing. Blatant glorification of a murderer in the name of selling magazines is wrong."
The Professional Firefighters of Massachusetts (PFFM) decried the decision to publish an "empathetic-looking" photo of the terrorist. "We witnessed firsthand the trauma that unfolded that day." The Tsarnaevs "are not victims. They have not been failed. They are cowards. They killed people and caused disabling permanent injury to hundreds." The PFFM subsequently called for a boycott of the magazine.
Celebs were no less infuriated. Actress Eliza Dushku tweeted, "Bad taste doesn't even cut it, Rolling Stone," concluding that with the hashtag 'BostonHorrified.' Game show host Tom Bergeron tweeted, "Just saw the latest Rolling Stone cover. Unbelievable. Was this instead of their al-Qaeda swimsuit edition?"
Hard rock musician David Draiman tweeted, "I used to dream of making the cover of Rolling Stone...until this. You have glorified this cowardly and unforgivable act. You validated the act to a whole new generation of wannabe terrorists seeking martyrdom and infamy. I condemn this act, this notion, and this magazine."
Strong words, the perspective behind which some may disagree with. But nonetheless, such comments are reflective of how angry and hurt people feel by Rolling Stone's decision.
MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell went a step further, criticizing the content of the Rolling Stone article itself. "It spends most of its time in romantic reminiscence of what a great kid [Dzhokhar] was. And we never discovered anything in the article that we didn't already know."
After reading the piece on Dzhokhar, I drew more or less the same conclusion as O'Donnell. The writer goes to painstaking measures to show us just how normal, fun, and charming young Tsarnaev was, noting how he was popular with girls and that people insisted that Tsarnaev was "a good kid," and it doesn't make sense how he became a "monster."
Not only did the article come off as a bit of a sympathy case for the terrorist, it also became an exercise in redundancy, repeatedly raising the same question: how did this seemingly good kid go bad? It never provides any answers, except by shifting the guilt from Dzhokhar onto his older, more radicalized brother Tamerlan, suggesting that the former was "brainwashed" by the latter.
Neither profound nor revelatory, the writer presented a snapshot of a young terrorist's life - not unlike that of a celebrity. That, combined with the cover, succeeded only in glamorizing that which is contemptible. It did not focus on the people affected by the attacks, or the first responders that came to their aid. Instead, it promoted a harsh notion: the aggressor is the one who walks away with a legacy, while those who suffer fade into obscurity.
Jack Levin, a criminologist at Northeastern University, thought along the same lines, remarking, "Rolling Stone sends young people this message: If you want to become famous, kill somebody."
"I can't think of another instance in which one has glamorized the image of an alleged terrorist," said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, communications professor and director of the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center. "This is the image of a rock star. This is the image of someone who is admired, of someone who has a fan base, of someone we are critiquing as art."
"Victim Jeff Bauman, who lost both legs, should be on the cover," wrote one commenter on Rolling Stone's Facebook page; his post was liked over 1,428 times.
Rolling Stone had every intention of generating controversy. This was done in the name of capitalism and consumerism, and it isn't hard to see the logic behind it: controversy sells magazines. And yes, we have something in this country called freedom of press, but some feel that it does not justify the exploitation of tragedy.
In fact, publications like Rolling Stone have a heightened responsibility, in the spirit of journalistic integrity, to provide the facts of the matter. In short, was there really a need to spend five pages pontificating about the true nature of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev? Of what does this inform the reader? That Dzhokhar is just like any of us? There are plenty of people who, as the article said, "feel alienated" from society and become depressed; not all of them become killers.
Stores including CVS, Walgreens, 7-11, Rite-Aid, and Stop 'n Shop have refused to carry the issue of Rolling Stone. Dosomething.org has a petition that can be signed to let the magazine company know just how outrageous their decision has been. And the article itself can be read here.
Writer Matt Murray, meanwhile, had a bit of advice for publications looking to cover these sorts of tragedies in the future: "After September 11th," he said, "we all became New Yorkers. After the Boston bombing, we all became Boston Strong. Remember the heroes, not the villains."

Gov. urges caution over flood potential
MONTPELIER Gov. Peter Shumlin said Saturday that weekend rainfall has elevated the risk of flooding across the state, and he urged Vermonters to pay attention to weather reports and keep an eye on local waterways where flooding was possible.
The governor said Vermont transportation and emergency management agencies were prepared for a weekend response, and the Vermont State Emergency Operations Center will remain open as long as needed.
I spent part of Friday surveying damage from flash flooding that hit areas of Chittenden County hardest, but now our threat is sustained rainfall that could cause more widespread flooding in others areas of Vermont, Shumlin said in a statement. He said Vermonters should drive with caution and avoid water-covered roadways, and keep an eye on local rivers and streams as the rainfall continues.
The National Weather Service posted a flood watch Saturday in most of northern Vermont and a flood warning in Caledonia County. A flood warning was also in effect in St. Johnsbury and Lyndonville, but not limited to those areas. Water was expected to approach low-lying areas of Routes 5, 114, 122 and Stevens loop Road north of Lyndonville, the weather service said.
The weather service said moderate to heavy rainfall would continue through Saturday night, and storm total rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches can be expected by today.
In the Stowe-Morrisville area, forecasters said snow accumulations of 1 to 2 inches were possible, and said there could be isolated power outages due to wet, heavy snow. Green Mountain Power reported more than 1,700 outages Saturday afternoon.
Campers and hikers were warned to prepare for winter-like conditions in the mountains this weekend.MORE IN Vermont NewsIf this hasnt been the worst year ever for truth in politics, I cant think of what was.

Sony Ericsson W595
Sony Ericsson's latest Walkman slider won't excite, but this HSDPA-capable mobile phone does the basics well.
- Price, Walkman interface, HSDPA-capable, TrackID, M2 card slot, good call quality
- Flimsy design, cramped controls, flat keypad, no 3.5mm headphone jack
Bottom Line
Sony Ericsson's W595 doesn't deliver anything new or innovative and its build quality is questionable. However for the features it offers, it's reasonable value.
Price$ 432.00 (AUD)
Another mid-range Walkman handset, the Sony Ericsson W595 mobile phone doesn't offer anything new or groundbreaking and its build quality is questionable. Despite these issues, it remains a reasonable handset for the asking price.
The Sony Ericsson W595 won't turn many heads with its design (aside from the optional pink colour scheme). It has a chunky slider and a screen that seems like it could have been much larger — there is plenty of unused space surrounding it. The rear battery cover rattles, squeaks and feels flimsy, while the slider mechanism is wobbly, especially when opened.
The phone's controls are fairly straightforward, but considering the amount of space above and below them, we can't understand why they are so cramped. A five-way navigational pad does most of the work, aided by two selection buttons, answer and end call keys and clear and shortcut buttons. The keypad looks straightforward, but the flat keys require a firm press, slowing down messaging. Thankfully, the display is bright and clear, performs well in sunlight and has reasonable viewing angles.
Although the Sony Ericsson W595's design is underwhelming, under the hood it is a different story. It doesn't offer anything new, groundbreaking or overly exciting, but the features it does possess are well designed and implemented, starting with the Walkman software. An icon represents each menu and the tiered interface is user friendly. The software also supports album art.
TrackID is once again available, allowing you to record a few seconds of any song you wish using the external microphone. The recording is then sent to a music database and if the song is recognised, the title, album and artist name are sent back to you. A2DP Bluetooth and an FM radio are also available, while Shake It! and SensME technologies are both present. Shake It! allows you to skip tracks by shaking the handset, while SensME allows you to create a playlist based on mood and tempo.
The Sony Ericsson W595 doesn't include a 3.5mm headphone jack, but the proprietary connector features a 3.5mm adapter. You can also tailor your audio using the five band equaliser or the four presets including Sony's proprietary Mega Bass.
We were impressed with volume and clarity of voice calls on the Sony Ericsson W595, though using the hands-free speakerphone with some background noise isn't ideal.
Other features include a 3.2-megapixel camera on the rear, a video player and games, as well as some of Sony Ericsson's proprietary applications such as VideoDJ, PhotoDJ and MusicDJ. The camera is fair and doubles as a video recorder, though no flash means night-time photography is impossible. The Sony Ericsson W595 also includes remote control and sound recording functions, and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, while PIM features include calendar, tasks, notes, alarms, calculator, synchronisation, timer and stopwatch applications.
The phone only has a paltry 40MB of internal memory, but there is a Memory Stick Micro (M2) card slot — annoyingly located behind the rear battery cover.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Torah Scroll Stolen from Moshav BareketWednesday, October 29th, 2014
A Torah scroll was stolen yesterday (Tuesday, Oct. 28) from Moshav Bareket, according to sources from within the community. Bareket is located in the Shefela region, in central Israel.
The writing of the scroll and its intended donation was paid for by a woman in memory of her five lost children.
"The mother hasn't stopped crying" since the scroll was stolen, a member of one of Israel's branches of the Chabad-Lubavitch women's organization, told JewishPress.com on Wednesday.
"Please let people know," she urged. "Perhaps the stolen scroll will surface if the thieves try to sell it, and then they will be caught and we will be able to recover it."Hana Levi Julian

Hearn Hunting For More TV Dates, Adding Lee Selby
By Terence Dooley
Matchroom's Eddie Hearn is on the hunt for even more Sky TV dates. Matchroom have an exclusive deal with the subscription broadcaster, which currently stands at 20 shows per year, but with six of the dates earmarked for the Prizefighter format the current allocation doesn't provide enough action for hard-core fans. Hearn is now striving to add more dates to accommodate a stable of fighters that is growing by the day, and will be boosted by the addition of British and Commonwealth featherweight titlist Lee Selby at a press conference on Wednesday.
Selby, 14-1 (5), was engaged in talks with Hearn over the weekend, and the 26-year-old featured on a Matchroom card last month when beating former Martin Lindsay by unanimous decision. Indeed, Hearn told Kevin Mitchell of The Guardian that a further 10 Sky dates would help him secure the services of even more fighters, including a few amateur stars.
"That would give me a chance to sign [some] of these others," he said. "I've got four five amateurs that I could sign, if we had the dates, and there are half a dozen existing champions who want to join who I'd love to sign, as well. You can't sign them all."
Further Sky shows would be a welcome boost for British boxing fans, who were short-changed when Sky only released 20 dates last year. Sky's recent ethos of bigger fights and stacked three-hour shows has been hit-and-miss, so 10 extra bills would be welcomed with open arms by boxing fans and would complement BoxNation's domestic and greater International coverage. It would also help ease the irony of Sky broadcasting a dedicated magazine show, Ringside, more often than they show live fights.

There are a number of reasons you may wish to consider supporting or staking your cucumber vines. This is a guide about supporting cucumber vines.
An A-frame tresses can be easy and inexpensive to make. It is also an excellent structure to help support your climbing plants. This is a guide about easy way to string tomatoes, cucumbers, or green beans.
WINDELLA from Pasadena, CA
Welcome to the wonderful world of gardening! It sounds as though you're on your way to your first successful crop of cucumbers. Congratulations! A smart gardener once asked, "Why grow horizontally when you can grow vertically?" This is especially true of crops like tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, and pole beans. They tend to sprawl and use up a great deal of what is usually already limited garden space. There are also a number of advantages to using trellises, fences, stakes, and cages. Not only do they keep vegetables up off the ground, making them less susceptible to insect damage and many plant diseases, but they allow your vegetables to develop evenly while maximizing space. Support materials can consist of wood, extra stakes, twine, string, nylon stockings, or a nearby fences. Many gardeners prefer a tee pee shaped support that allows the fruits to hang freely in the center while the vines climbs up the sides to capture the sun. As container gardening gains popularity, many new varieties of cucumbers are being bred for their ability to climb and all varieties are easily trained once you get them headed up a support. Staking also allows the fruit to grow straighter and makes seeing the cucumbers at harvest time much easier.
I brought back the above seeds from Crete. I now have healthy plants. Can I grow them outdoors along the ground?
By Connie
I googled tortarello cucumber seeds, and found that they take 65-70 days to maturity and grow well on a trellis. If you live where they can have a growing season of that length, they should be fine outside. One site I found said they should be planted in peat pots which must be planted outside. Also, how do weather and soil conditions where you live compare with those on Crete?

Glazed Cinnamon Rolls
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 5 hrs
This recipe is from Baking Illustrated, it is a very time consuming recipe but makes the best cinnamon rolls ever. You will not be disappointed. They turn out light, airy and wonderful. This recipe uses a Kitchenaid mixer to mix the dough. I'm sure it can be converted to make them by hand just not sure how to do it. It takes about 5 hours from start to finish to make these beautiful cinnamon rolls. The use of the instant read thermometer to tell if they are done I believe helps to assure these rolls come out just right, not over cooked and dry.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1⁄2 cup warm water, 110 degrees
- 1 (1/4 ounce) envelope instant yeast
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 4 -4 1⁄4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus
- additional unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting work surface
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened but still cool
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted to remove any lumps
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3⁄4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons quality ground cinnamon (either Penzeys or McCormick or Schilling)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- For the dough:.
- Heat the milk and butter in a small pan until the butter melts.
- Remove the pan from the heat and set aside until the mixture is lukewarm (about 100 degrees).
- In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, mix together the water, yeast, sugar, egg, and yolks at low speed until well mixed.
- Add the salt, warm milk mixture, and 2 cups of the flour and mix at medium speed until thoroughly blended.
- Switch to the dough hook, add another 2 cups of the flour, and knead at medium speed (adding up to 1/4 cup more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time if necessary), I did use the additional 1/4 cup of flour, until the dough is smooth and freely clears the sides of the bowl, about 10 minutes.
- Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured work surface.
- Shape the dough into a round, place it in a very lightly oiled bowl, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
- Leave in a warm draft free spot until doubled in bulk, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- While dough is raising prepare the icing:.
- Combine all of the icing ingredients in the bowl of a standing mixer and blend together at low speed until thoroughly combined.
- Increase the speed to high and mix until the icing is smooth and free of cream cheese lumps.
- Transfer the icing to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- To roll and fill the dough:.
- After the dough has doubled, press it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface.
- Using a rolling pin, shape the dough into a 16 by 12 inch rectangle, with long side facing you.
- Mix together the filling ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border at the far edge.
- Roll the dough, beginning with the long edge closest to you and using both hands to pinch the dough with your fingertips as you roll.
- Keep it tightly rolled.
- Moisten the top border with water and seal the roll.
- Lightly dust the roll with flour and press on the ends if necessary to make a uniform 16 inch cylinder.
- Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking dish or spray with cooking spray.
- Cut the rolls into 12 equal pieces using plain dental floss or a sharp knife.
- Place the rolls cut side up, evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm draft free spot until doubled in bulk 1 1/2- 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and adjust oven rack to the middle position.
- Bake the rolls until golden brown and an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of one roll reads 185 to 188 degrees or 25- 30 minutes.
- Invert rolls onto a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes.
- Turn the rolls upright on a large serving plate and use a rubber spatula to spread the icing on them.
- If not eating right away cover rolls and frost as you use them.
- The icing needs to be kept in the refrigerator.
- Rolls can be covered and reheated in microwave.

Excellent! And the smell that fills the house is wonderful and warm! Didn't make the icing - trying to cut back on calories/fat....these were great even without it! Watch the cooking time closely...a minute or two too long and they will be overdone.
I am terrible with yeast breads, but using this recipe, I managed to turn out 12 gorgeous cinnamon rolls. Thanks for sharing the recipe! These are excellent.
Oh Lord, are these elegant! First time I've ever used cream cheese in an icing for sweet rolls, but, you can bet it won't be the last! DH will see to it! True, does take around 5 hours to put these together from start to finish, but, who cares, the end result is well-worth the time. They're huge, light as a feather, and oh soooo tasty! And, dolled up with that icing, they're first-rate! Thanks, Dolly, these bad boys are winners for sure! Laudee

Posted Jul 9 2010 8:50PM
Nobody roots for Goliath.
That's one of the NBA's legendary quotes, attributed to (or said of) Wilt Chamberlain and his perception that the giant, the bully, the one considered most likely to squash the competition, doesn't engender much affection or enthusiasm in a world where most of us feel like Davids.
The Miami Heat became Goliath Thursday.
By corralling LeBron James and Chris Bosh as free-agent imports to join re-signed Dwyane Wade in south Florida, the Heat became a pebble-grained, sun-bleached version of the New York Yankees, with a disproportionate, gluttonous number of superstars. And to dust off another old sports quote that applies, rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for U.S. Steel. [That dates back to the 1950s, so an updated version might swap out, oh, Walmart].
There used to be a happy boast around the MGM lot during Hollywood's golden era that the movie studio had "more stars than there are in heaven." That sort of applies to the Heat now, but it was achieved with all the subtlety of a James Cameron blockbuster. This is a butcher shop where the thumb on the scale is Shrek-sized. It's Vegas with the house odds on steroids. It's a stacked deck where no other team is going to be able to beat the Heat's three aces, now that James' five disappointed suitors in free agency -- none more than the Cavaliers -- have been royally flushed.
The NBA got the July it craved, in terms of unprecedented offseason chatter about a limited supply of high-profile, game-changing players in a market unusually deep in demand. The question now is, at what price? Crowding out major league baseball, the NFL and the World Cup in the summer is fine, but not if it leads in the fall, winter and spring to competitive imbalances and apathy toward a less compelling product.
This was done, it must be noted, fair and square and well within the rules available to all 30 franchises. In the past, when the Celtics, Lakers or Bulls rounded up inordinate shares of the top talent, it was Red Auerbach, Jerry West or Jerry Krause gaming the system and using their wiles to create lopsided -- yet permissible -- advantages. This time, it was the players themselves making the plans, while making other owners and GMs look silly.
Wade, James and Bosh set this plan in motion when they synchronized their shorter-than-available contracts in 2006. What began as a baby cartel and some amusing daydreams, though, turned this time around into a full-blown OPEC, with potentially nightmarish repercussions on the league's appeal to the widest possible fan base.
As it turned out, all these guys needed -- once they had a critical mass of eager teams tripping over themselves to create salary-cap space for two or even three maximum contracts -- was a destination acceptable to them all and an ultra-competitive team architect who would so value stars over rank-and-file role players (and the quaint notion of a salary "scale"). They got both in Miami, the professional athlete's second-favorite playground after Las Vegas, and Heat president and chief carnivore Pat Riley.
So Wade, James and Bosh are off to South Beach to track sand onto the hardwood at AmericanAirlines Arena, to suck up 90 percent of the Heat's cap amount (while essentially ponying enough to pay newly signed Mike Miller's middle-class salary) and to divvy up a responsibility -- chasing a championship -- that each shouldered fairly effectively by himself till now. The rest of the league -- and you've got to think that even the Lakers, the Celtics and the Magic are nervous about this convergence of two Top 5 and one Top 15 talents -- is left to hope they fail or at least hit some speed-bumps along the way.
A lot of fans, it says here, will want that as well, even among those of us who root for the sport rather than for any particular teams. For reasons beyond the obvious.
Here's one: Are we really ready to see these Alpha dogs turn into the Beta Band? That's much more likely, given their personalities, than any worries that they'll go all king-of-the-jungle on each other (though I do like the possible nickname, "The Three, Um, Egos").
Almost immediately after James' awkward announcement in Greenwich, Conn., Thursday, the Heat's stars were talking about sacrificing aspects of their individual games to coalesce as a team. That's what coaches preach daily in more mortal circumstances, from NBA to YMCA, but it generally happens and works best when there is a gradation of talent. When your top three guys are all so even -- first-bests or near-first-bests -- you could end up with too much deference, each too sensitive to trampling the others' turf.
Then there's this: Should James and Wade, in particular, be worried about blending and smoothing their games at this point in their careers? It ought to concern hoops fans that players that gifted would do anything but flaunt and push their games in all their in-your-face glory. LeBron picking his spots? Wade fitting in and around others? The sum total of dazzling highlights would go down with their scoring averages and we would be the losers.
"It's not about sharing. It's about everyone having their own spotlight," James said after announcing his decision. "I feel like this is going to give me the best opportunity to win, and win for multiple years."
This is different from Boston's Big Three, who came together in 2007. Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen joined Paul Pierce via trades, not by design, and were all past their primes -- sentimental favorites, even, since each had toiled long and hard without reaching The Finals. They were getting close to separate, ringless ends.
Maybe people wouldn't begrudge Wade, Bosh and James if this were 2015 and their ages were 33 (Wade), 31 (Bosh) and 30 (James) respectively. But this just seems too soon, too easy or maybe too panicky. [It could even breathe new life into those rumors about James' actual age, too, since everything with this guy seems to be fast-tracked: Shaving at 10, millionaire by 18, takes Cavs to Finals at 21, ring grab and move to south Florida at 25, AARP card at 33, forgotten turn-signal blinking endlessly down the interstate by 45.]
One of the central themes in the NBA is that great individual players need competent teammates to chase championships. The most fortunate of them get sidekicks, sometimes with a third or fourth key contributor mixed in. But James getting Wade and Bosh as helpers? Or Wade getting the other two? It's overkill, howitzers as mouse traps. And the bullying could get worse each summer as some coveted free agent takes Miami's mid-level exception to hop aboard the jewelry express.
As for slogans, the "Amazing Is..." campaign might have to yield to the old compromise of "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Time was, the most skilled players in the world were the most ferociously competitive, cordial when appropriate but driven to beat the best for a title that truly would mean something. Now they are independent conglomerate-nations, fraternity brothers who prefer to link up rather than butt heads when some challenge becomes a little too difficult.
Next up in a year or so: Chris Paul, a point guard for this fantasy team. You wait and see. Somehow, some way.
Oh, this could prove to be a fascinating experiment all around: A coaching clinic on how to maximize the production of elite players in a starting five, a personnel case study in fleshing out a top-heavy roster, a psychologist's trial for meshing ambitions and egos. Some fans will tune in via League Pass for every twist, turn and soap-opera development. Others, though, will be rooting for an injury that's just serious enough to thin the Heat's ranks. And you've got to think Cavs owner Dan Gilbert already has a promotion in mind to distribute leftover LeBron puppets at The Q this season, complete with straight pins for the full voodoo-doll experience.
"We welcome the bull's-eye on our backs," Wade said on ESPN Thursday. "We know that every night when we head into [a road] arena, we're going to hear some boos. We're going to get every team's best shot."
Hmm, a love-them-or-hate-them crew to polarize fans and keep everyone talking, good or bad? I don't think the NBA needs or should ever risk that. For every fan drawn by the star power of Wade, Bosh and James together, there could be two in places like Memphis, Minnesota or Cleveland turned off by the rich-getting-richer profligacy, the potential for 73-9 regular-season records and the prospect of annual June reruns.
Nobody roots for Goliath.
And on those rare occasions when we have identified with the bigger brutes, it has taken something really special. We liked the various Olympic Dream Teams because, at their core, they were us, the U.S., pounding on the other guys. We don't like them when they're Miami pounding on our guys, which is how 29 other teams might be feeling about now.
