3.21/5 rDev +8.4%
look: 3 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.25
Poured from a can into a Pint Glass.
A- Semi-Aggressive pour resulted in a dense, foamy, all white head that didn't stick around too long. Minimal lacing. "Straw" yellow brew with a ton of clarity, I can see right through glass with ease.
S- Unlike most AAL'S out there, the smell of graininess is rather clean and appealing. A little sweet but in a way I totally dig. The faintest bit of hops pokes through. When I picture what an AAL should smell like, I picture this.
T/M- Crisp with plenty of carbonation, perfect on a hot summer day. A little bit of Malts, a little bit of Hops, tie in quite well with the light graininess of this brew. The dry finish caps off what is a hell of an easy drinking and refreshing AAL.
O- In the overcrowded/underwhelming world of American Adjunct Lagers, PBR stands alone, in my opinion, as the ideal, mindless yet refreshing, just plain beer. Take them for what they are. My go to AAL.

BG: Due primarily to the "hipness" of my friend group, I've drank a lot of these throughout college. I've never loved it, but I figured its popularity makes it worth a review. Poured from a can into my favorite Guinness pub glass.
Obtained from: Some shitty gas station near the outskirts of Atlanta, GA.
Appearance: Pours about three fingertip lengths head, pale yellow. Looks more appetizing than most beers in its class, but it isn't gonna win any awards in this area. 3.25
Smell: Smells like sweet corn...possibly malty? A hint of alcohol, which is ridiculous given the beer's low ABV. Again, not terrible, but isn't setting my world ablaze either. 2.75
Taste: Again, lots of sweetness, with a tiny bit of corn flavor near the end. It's thin, but it burns going down the throat. Not the greatest masking, but still decent. 3.25
Mouthfeel: Burns like crazy and has way too much carbonation. Almost sickly sweet. The cheap ingredients show here. 2.5
Overall: This is probably the most "average" beer I've ever had. If a friend gives me a choice between most macrobrews, this would win, but that's really not saying much. 3
Recommend? Depends on the situation. If you aren't hanging out with beer snobs, this is often the best you can do, I'm sorry to say. Also, if you're dead broke and hanging out in a shitty bar, buying this by the pitcher is the way to go. So, in short, don't seek it out, but don't reject it when it comes to you.

Great for the price..That's about it..
Smell: Very little smell of anything particular
Mouthfeel - pretty non existent body, carbonated a bit on the higher side.
For one of the cheapers beers to buy, its not bad, and does its job.

Whenever I go to a concert, this is the beer I drink. I'm always excited to give PBR one more chance as my favorite cheap beer, but it never impresses me. PBR is an extremely heavy beer and would not even consider it a session beer. I'd still rather drink Coors or RR for hours on end.

Pretty good for the price.. Not much else to write home about..
Doesn't really have a distinct smell or anything.. but tastes malty.. hints of corn.

Much better than its similarly priced peers, like Bud, Coors, Natural etc.

Perhaps the most pathetic, i.e. wimpy, beer I have ever witnessed. The color was golden fair enough, but the head was thin soapy and died quickly. Despite the bubbles that lined the glass, the beer gave a very stale, boring appearance.
The scent was relatively weak with some adjunct like qualities. Corny and metallic it was not particularly pleasant.
The taste was corny adjunct as well but it lost the metallic tone. It appeared to be well carbonated and gave an easy crisp feel. I had PBR in a can months ago and found it much better than this. I may try it again and reassess.

12oz can into a perfect pint glass.
A - Clear straw gold with a large fluffy, but short lived, white head. Lots of streaming bubbles.
S - Sweet malts, corn, slight grassy hops. Not offensive, but very subtle/neutral.
T - Bready malt, light toasted grain, corn syrup, and a hint of grassy hops. Overall rather sweet, but there is a faint hop bitterness that kicks in towards the finish.
M - Relatively smooth, very light body (but not as watery as other adjunct lagers). High carbonation, crisp and refreshing.
O - This a decent 'bargain' lager that tends to beat out the other mainstream competitors. It's light on flavor with a thin body, but it's a great cheap year-round session beer to pick up when spending is tight.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Serving: Can, from the can (is there any other way to drink PBR?)
Served: 17 June 2013
Appearance: I had this one from the can, so I guess I'll just comment on the can. When you open this beer up, you see some nice fog and some bubbly head foam up before quickly dying down. The look of the can is fantastic- nice vintage marketing look.
Smell: Smells just like 'beer', but has some sweet notes to it (probably from the corn syrup that they use to make it).
Taste: The taste is better than the macros, but certainly nothing too notable. It's decent, and that's really that. It's too sweet for my tastes, but I imagine after drinking about three of these that the taste starts to get really good.
Mouthfeel: The feel of this beer is great- exactly what I would expect from an AAL. Light on the tongue and spritzy from the carbonation, this beer is certainly an easy drink, and wonderful on hot, muggy summer days.
Overall: This beer is a classic, but probably because of its enviable price point. I paid about 36 cents a can in a 30-pack, and there's really no beating that. For that sort of price, the beer tastes as good as one can expect. I would certainly buy this over BMC stuff in terms of actual flavor, since, though minimal, the flavor profile in this beer is notably more developed than something like Busch Light or Natty (as far as cheap beers go).

Had this beer as part of a special glass deal. I think maybe i'm spending a dollar for the whole package. Honestly, i'm not terribly familiar with pbr except that it is the preferred bev of hipsters in my area. I've had it maybe 2-3x in my life and i don't recall getting headaches from it, so that's a plus..
Again a nice glass special is on at this bar. It's decent looking glass. $4 for a pitcher i think i saw too. Seems like prices from eons ago.
The bartender filled my glass with a solid amount of beer in a glass that resembles a can of pbr. Cute. I couldn't smell a whole lot since its a pale lager. The first taste was very nutty. Kind of a roasted malt flavor since the beer is so thin. Not much more to the beer than that. Any interesting flavors seem to wash right away. I feel the tail end of the beer is where one is left with the remnants of an adjunct beer. This makes one want to immediately take another sip to get that lovely nutty flavor back to kill the corniness. I can see why people like this beer the same way people like to have spas with cold water blasted at them followed by hot water. It seems its the battle between the the nutty and the icky that the people love.
For me, if the finish was better it would be an absolutely lovely beer. Its very thin and just not something i want to regularly seek out. I won't avoid it unless i end up with a headache tonight of course. We'll see.

This beer fits the style it was intended for. It is an easy drinking American Macro Lager beer. If I'm drinking this style this is one of the few I drink. Just because it's not $10 a 6er doesn't mean it's bad beer. I'm with the Bros on this one... Good Beer, not spectacular but I keep a 30 pack around.

I had this in both a bottle and a can, and I must say, I was very impressed, its appearance is very fine looking, like you would expect a beer to be, smells like beer, good amount of hops present, taste is very good, especially for the price you would imagine this to taste like water, but it really doesn't, Pabst uses alot of hops, and very exotic ones at that, not like its an exotic beer, its taste like beer, but it is rather quirky tasting, damn good though. and mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, overall I think this is a good beer, and a beer's beer at that, they use alot of good ingredients in making it and I think it runs circles around its more expensive rivals like Budweiser, or Corona. I also believe if you dont like this you probably dont like beer, Everyone needs to try this beer, at least once in there life's

all rating s are based on the style, in this case american adjunct lager, keep that in mind.
after needing a break from paying $8 per six pack of local craft beer (foothills hoppyum ipa..mmm) i went to the bmc section of the beer aisle and saw the typical bud, bud light, michelob ultra (which is hardly beer), natty, etc. then i saw pabst blue ribbon in a 6 pack-all the bmc's were in multipacks-for 5 dollars, thats ~84 cents a bottle and i thought thats a good deal for an adjunct lager thats not bmc.
i spent my 5 bucks and had me some pbr.
the appearance is typical of an adjunct lager-straw pissy yellow with snow white head, about average for this style of beer.
the smell is pretty average, malts and beer. zero hops.
taste is just malts and sweet corn syrup (pbrs adjunct), which is kind of good...i get that sweetness and kind of tang of corn syrup on the back of my throat which invites me to have more. however the lack of hops is to be expected, but its disappointing, this beer actually tastes good for an adjunct lager, and i was half hoping for some hops. i guess im just naiive.
mouthfeel-fizzy water, nothing too impressive, except for the goopy corns syrup on the back of the back of the throat, which i liked.
overall, this adjunct american lager is not bad. it has an interesting corn syrupy characteristic which i personally find enjoyable. obviously this beer isnt a craft beer and its not going to be loaded with hops-its a flavorful and enjoyable macro adjunct lager that i will drink again when the IPAs and pale ales get old. PBR is a refreshing and cheap way to enjoy a macro beer that has a little bit more going than the bmc's when you need a break from kickass craft beers. above average ratings in nearly all categories for this style of beer.

I rate this beer alittle better then Bud, Miller and Coors and price is better then them too.
Apperance: yellow. It looks like beer
Smell : smell like grain, like beer should smell like.
Taste: I was surprised how good this beer tasted. It tasted like malt and corn and some mild at the end. It has character !
Mouthfeel: Strongly carbonated with a thin body. It just like americcan lager beer
This beer was real nasty as kid but it taste pretty good now. Maybe I drank it warm or they changed the formula. I would drank some more in the future and price is better then the BMC. Good beer!

OK, everyone has had this so no need to state the obvious. This beer is what it is and has survived for over 150 years, so it is no fad.
I call this my lawnmower beer, which means it's my go to beer after yard work when I'm thirsty.
I love it for what it is and keep a few in the fridge surrounded by a variety of craft brews. This is an American classic, god bless America.

Was out for chicken wings with the family and decided to have a couple PBR's. Been a while...
Pours pale golden with a small white head that dissipates rather quickly. Pretty much what you would expect from this style.
Aroma is grainy, slightly sweet. Not a lot going on here.
Taste is of grain, light hops, light malts. Rather crisp. Again, pretty much how I remember and what I was expecting.
Mouthfeel is light bodied and cleansing.
Overall, definitely sessionable. Decent for what it is. Worked well enough with the chicken wings.

I don't really post on Beer Advocate. I generally use it to look up what style a beer is when it's not obvious before I buy it. That said, I regard the ratings as an indicator of how strongly flavored (for better or worse) a beer is. I would say that generally on a BA review, the higher the rating, the more I'm not going to like a beer unless I've already prepped myself with some previous drinking.
Don't get me wrong, I'm generally not some macrobrew swelling bro, who marches into a bar and immediately orders a bud light. I generally stroll into my local brew garden, and look at what's new and ask the opinion of the bartender on stuff I haven't tried. I try all kinds of things and it really just depends on the mood I'm in.
I would like to think that a lot of people had evolved from similar experiences with beer early on like I did. The first time you may have tried beer, was from your dad's can, and it was vile. I believe my first beer sip might have been Coors. You also might have gotten the feelings that beer was a low class drink that drunks partook of. During your High School or even early drinking age years, you may have come to the conclusion that "you hate beer".
Eventually, you might have discovered a wine cooler, or a lambic, or cider. Flavored beers or fermented beer-like beverages from colorful bottles or pulls that tasted good and were beer related. You may have discovered Guinness, a beer that initially may feel you with thoughts of manliness or the Irish hills. A stout that moved you to better Oatmeal based concoctions and other opaque, dark brews. You may have thought that "maybe I only hate piss colored beers".
At some point you run into IPAs and other Ales in general. You look at their color with disgust, and reluctantly try one, and you hate it. However, overtime you keep trying them and you might evolve to appreciate the hoppy flavor, and you discover some fruitiness, that reminds you of those lambics, but less extreme.
I think at this point you've learned that it was the Pissy American Macrobrewed rubbish all along. Though, secretly you might realize that you're being a snob now.
I think this is how the hatred of beers like PBR comes about. Pabst Blue Ribbon, in my opinion, is the epitome of beer. Strong words, but listen. It's not that it's 'good' but it is the essence of the thing of which it is.
PBR is an American Lager. It's Grain, Hops, Yeast, and Water. It's simple, yellow, and drinkable. It has successfully accomplished all that it has set out to do. It's about 60 cents for a 12 ounce can (in a 30 pack). I've bought it for $4 a growler before. It's more expensive than Malt Liquor, which I have found for 50 cents for a 40 ounce bottle. Still, Budweiser drinkers and the like will look down upon PBR for being cheap.
It's not such a bad thing! PBR's biggest strength I feel is it's smell. It reminds me of a passable Champagne with maybe some extra flower scents. It smells good and smell is probably the most important part of consuming something.
Taste, it tastes like a decent beer flavored carbonated water. It's a bit like Perrier, but cheaper and less citrus to it. The beer component is malty, it is my opinion that any hops are converted directly to scent upon opening or pouring though, because that it really the only place I detect them.
Pour? It's a yellow beer, mediocre head, unimpressive. It's not a 6 dollar pull of nitrogenated stout. There's no showmanship. It's plain yellow beer. It looks fine in a can in a paper bag, or in a giant mug, or poured out of a growler into a glass.
Keep it cold. These Adjuct Lagers don't like heat. PBR is less bad than other when warm, but it's unpleasant.
Drink it as a session beer. I find that it's low alcohol content and high drinkability make it excellent for drinking over a long period of time. If there is something on TV that requires a beer, this is a good beer. If you're hanging out at a family event, this is a good beer. If you need a cold adult beverage on a hot summer's day? It's fine!
Buy in bulk. This beer is cheap, but it's still actually a beer. You're not going to find it for 80 ounces for a dollar like King Cobra. You will, however, find it on sale in 30-packs. I think that if you have thirsty friends, it's excellent to offer them one of these instead of Coke now and then. Coke is still cheaper in bulk, ~9$ for a 36-pack around here, but you have to add rum to it if you want an adult beverage, and that adds up.
Bottom line. At a normal bar journey I'm generally going to order two pints and some food and then leave. This will not be one of those pints. It's great for everything but drinking at a bar or cooking with (unless you're drinking it while cooking).

This is a cheap beer, there's no arguing that, and if someone is limited by their budget for the nectar that we know as beer then Pabst Blue Ribbon is a somewhat legitimate option among other cheap beers. If one could see beyond all the hype about this brew then I'd reckon that they'll come to the same conclusion.
Serving type- Can poured into a tumbler glass
Appearance- Straw yellow with a quickly dissipating head and very little lacing to follow. By no means gross looking as others claim but it is rather plain looking.
Smell- Mildly sweet wheat scent with a very faint citrus note, it really smells better than it tastes in my opinion.
Taste- In all honesty, it tastes like carbonated tap water that serves initially a light corn syrupy sweet taste tailed with a very, very mild wheat flavor along with some faint citrus-like notes in there... I cannot detect any malt or hops. Thankfully it does have alcohol in there.
Mouthfeel- Ever had carbonated water? Imagine that with beer flavoring added...
Overall- Disappointing considering all the hype about this beer. I really can't justify this beer when they're so many better options out there. Yes, a better beer is typically more expensive but infinitely more enjoyable. To be honest though, I have been "corrupted" by the finer brews from the likes of Belgium (Abbey beers rock!) and Europe in general, although there's plenty of garbage brews that come from there too, but if anyone is simply drinking this beer only to be "hip" then the joke is on them because there are beers out there that are so much better.

Ed Norris stole something last week. I witnessed it, and so did hundreds of other Baltimoreans. Norris stole the show at Centerstage.
At the end of The Second City Does Baltimore show last Wednesday night, Norris appeared for an onstage chat. It was the first of the show's "Walk-On Wednesdays," which feature a show-closing cameo by a local celeb, and Norris got things off to a rousing start.
Cast member Dana Quercioli asked Norris about his radio show, role on The Wire, and time as a cop, and he was good-natured and hilarious—the sort of guy you'd love to have pull up a barstool next to you. His reply when asked about the strangest crime scene he'd ever seen was flat-out fantastic. I can't do it justice here, but Norris described coming across a pair of seated, decapitated bodies. The guy on the left was holding the other guy's head in his lap and vice versa. Norris recalled that, after the killer was apprehended, he couldn't wait to ask about the placement of the heads.
"I thought you guys would think it was funny," he was told, and that got a laugh from the Centerstage audience.
Then, Quercioli asked Norris if he had, in fact, found it humorous. "Uh, yeah," he said, and the audience howled.
The fact that Norris could generate peals of laughter from such a grisly tale says more about his delivery and presence that it does about the story's actual content. When asked if he'd ever become friends with someone he arrested, Norris' reply had a similar edge and wit to it.
Like I said, he stole the show, which was pretty good (especially the improv skits) in its own right. And if Norris ever gets the urge to tell some more stories, his next beer's on me.

Businesses were billed multiple times for the same background checks while others received statements meant for other businesses. MorphoTrust also did not cash checks on a regular basis, causing bookkeeping headaches.
Officials from the company immediately set to work fixing those problems.
By the end of January, MorphoTrust had increased its locations in West Virginia from 12 to 15. As of last week, the company had 17 locations in the state, with plans for two new locations in the next month or so.
The company also has overhauled its management and customer service.
"We have every reason to believe they'll continue to make those improvements," Boileau said.
Charles Carroll, senior vice president of MorphoTrust, said the company is determined to get its West Virginia operation in top shape. He said the company also would like to have about 25 locations in side the state.
"All said and done we will double the number of enrollment centers," he said.
The state hired MorphoTrust, previously known as L-1 Enrollment Services, in August 2011. Before that, the State Police processed all background checks.
Carroll said when MorphoTrust bought out L-1 Enrollment services and learned the contractor was having troubles in its West Virginia operations, it deployed a "rapid response team."
The company has had between 20 to 30 employees working in the state since December, fixing software issues and retraining personnel, he said.
Carrol said MorphoTrust now wants to establish a card scanning center in West Virginia, which would provide a quicker turnaround time for state background checks when clients' fingerprints must be taken using the ink-and-paper method.
"That would give us a two day advantage if it's inside the state," he said.
Fingerprint cards must now be shipped to Nashville, Tenn.
"It doesn't matter to me how big or small the state is, we gave our word this thing would operate right," he said. "We have big customers. I have New York, Texas, a number of very big states. We've never had any difficulties with them."

It was one of the most confronting Australian news images of 2012. A little boy holding a placard reading "Behead all those who insult the Prophet", standing among the hysterical crowd at the Sydney protests against an obscure art-house film ridiculing Mohammed.
The discussion inspired by that image was impassioned. The child and, particularly, his parents were held up as evidence that something was seriously wrong within sections of our multicultural society.
The heated nature of the discussion was not surprising at all, even if some of it was unpleasantly over-the-top. But in a free society such as ours it was still a conversation worth having.
You can understand that the family in question felt distressed. Yet it was their own abysmal actions, in using their kid as the tiny front man for the most sickening political demand, which turned them and their little boy into public figures, and valid subjects for public debate. If they didn't want to face this kind of distress they should probably have ditched their stupid sign and stayed home and let their son play with his Lego, rather than parade him about in Martin Place demanding beheadings.
I write about this issue not to dredge it up again but to consider how it would have been reported and how it could have been discussed under the changes surrounding media conduct and public conversation being considered by the Gillard Government. From what has been revealed by the Government so far, and from what the Communications Minister Stephen Conroy is also believed to have up his sleeve, it is doubtful that a story such as this one could have been reported at all. In addition, the discussion around it would have been massively curtailed, if not shut down for fear of litigation, by the prospect that people could have been offended by its tone or content.
It is worth noting the comments of the Prime Minister this week about the proposed consolidation of the anti-discrimination act into one new piece of legislation, namely that no final decision has been made, and that she welcomes this kind of discussion of the issue. The discussion around it has been largely negative, with many people on both the conservative and progressive side of politics, members of the mainstream and independent media, all lining up to say that the laws will put a brake on freedom in letting people take legal action for merely being offended by something.
The other thing which is happening behind the scenes is that Communications Minister Stephen Conroy is considering a push for a tort of privacy. Such a tort – which basically means people will have redress in the law for having their privacy breached – has been strongly supported by many in the legal profession for a long time. Should Conroy go down that path, it's likely that whatever he draws up would be similar to the Australian Law Reform Commission's proposed tort which covered questionable forms of behaviour such as the use of secret cameras and also included blanket bans on the broadcast or publishing of images of minors without the express permission of their parents.
On the face of it a lot of people would probably say fair enough to these proposals. Where it starts to get interesting and troubling is when you think about specific cases to see how the law applies. If you think about the story of the Islamic protests and the kid with the sign it is obvious what it would mean. It would mean the story doesn't appear, or at least not with an image of the child or with any identification of his parents. And even if the story did run, albeit shorn of any human element such as a face or a name, you would have to tread very carefully if you wanted to discuss it publicly, lest some of the people who were advocating beheadings or throwing haymakers at the coppers had their precious feelings hurt.
There are already examples in this country of laws which sound noble in their design and are actually perversely counter-productive in their application. In NSW it is illegal for the media to identify any child who has died as a result of a crime, once charges have been laid against the alleged offender. It sounds good in theory but what it can often mean is that a child who died as a result of scandalous circumstances, possibly involving government failure, will be airbrushed out of the news, dehumanised, that they will basically just disappear.
One of the most harrowing stories I can remember was the shocking murder of two-year-old Dean Shillingsworth, a little Koori kid on the fringes of western Sydney who was killed, put in a suitcase and thrown into a lake in a park at a public housing estate. The image of him in his Thomas the Tank Engine pyjamas with his bright eyes and cheeky smile was absolutely heart-breaking. Not only was this a story of shocking social dysfunction, it was also a story which went to the heart of case management by the Department of Community Services. It was also a human story. The media quite rightly ran the image of Dean for days, and the moment murder charges were laid he just vanished from our pages and from the TV screens.
It is much easier for governments to manage a crisis such as this, much easier for negligent parents to shield themselves from deserved shaming, when it involves someone called Toddler X whom the public has never and will never see.
Those who regard the media as morally bankrupt should reflect on the logical fact that the media is in the business of not only reporting news but also making money. I cannot think of a better way to destroy your product than to offend your readers by gratuitously and cruelly breaching a child's privacy. You would deserve to go out of business. The cases I mentioned above do not fit that category. They were stories which needed to be told. Our coverage and your conversations should not be stymied by ham-fisted legislation which accidentally or deliberately shuts all of that down.

The first thing any dictator does is try and control the media… No surprise here..!! Gillard is an autocratic power fiend and this is just one more crappy idea she has half thought through… Question is will apathy see the Australian public sit back and watch while we get screwed…??
yeah-no says:
From what I've read of the proposed new anti-discrimination act, it needs to be completely reconsidered. Apart from allowing people to seek redress if they've been merely 'offended' and not harmed through discrimination as they're required to show now, the new law reverses the onus of proof where if you are accused of racial vilification you have to prove otherwise. These changes will encourage a lot of vexatious litigation, as would a tort of privacy. Drop it, PM' and don't let Senator Conroy near any law reform.
Spanner says:
These people are all sooo intense, maybee they should all get drunk and laid, l think that would mellow them somewhat.
Ben says:
Quite a revealing quote from our Minister for Communications, especially that last sentence:
"I'm in charge of spectrum auctions and if I say to you everyone in this room, 'if you want to bid next week in our spectrum auction you better wear red underpants on your head', you'll be wearing them on your head…I have unfettered legal power."But if this government gets its new anti-discrimination legislation through Parliament, it may well be that Conroy and Co will, in effect, have unfettered legal power.
Victory Gin, anyone?
maria says:
I have been told to be and endless repetitive person by some bloggers for swiss style direct democracy a la Switzerland.
Switzerland's direct democracy means that all proposed amendments to the constitution are decided by referendum. Any other federal law can be put to a referendum if 50,000 citizens sign a petition - meaning that Switzerland's federal system can be changed by its citizens.In a meantime regardless which editorial I read it is the same story with the same problem again
"Censorious laws treat us all like children" etc…...They were stories which needed to be told and when are we going to tell us why the political parties have the absolute on us to impose any kind of phony law deliberately shuts all of that down.
As I said so many times; a democracy is a society in which the citizens are sovereign and control the government or democracy is inexistent.
One of the most confronting Australian news images is that, that after each election we the people are reduced to dust.
NESLIHAN KUROSAWA says:
Hi David,
Highly inflammatory and degrading remarks made by anyone about other cultures and religions only adds fuel to a burning fire! How about holding little children responsible for all the messages of hatred & bigotry! However as we all know already home is where most of our basic education begins and so where do those kids pick up such attitude and language? Of course in their family environment prior to school age and if it becomes more acceptable behavior in the school environment as well, then there is not turning back, really.
This particular message above ended up in the media for the most obvious reasons as some others don't have a chance to be even discussed out in public in a civilized manner. I have a great idea since all those dedicated DOCS people are doing such a great job at dealing with abused children born to alcoholic and drug dependent mothers, they can also handle these type of cases. Better still how about teaching our children a bit of common sense, basic knowledge, mutual respect and tolerance skills to help them to get along with the others out there in the real world?
Because when we look at very closely at all those harmless bullying cases in the school environment, we have to realize that authority figures such as teachers and admin support should take their "rose colored glasses off" in order to spot those type of children who tend to make other students lives a living hell. Turning a blind eye, saying things like out of sight and out of mind by the parent figures as well as the school staff can only lead to a more delinquent behavior down the road. When we look at all the street and school gun related violence in the USA, we can be certain that the family as well as the school environment are both equally and absolutely failing those children, whether we like to admit to that fact or not! Kind regards.

Harry Q. Hammer says:
In anwer to Hartz's question: Yes, apathy will see the Australian public sit back and watch while they get screwed. SNAFU.
Chris says:
We choose whether or not to take offence. Many of us just shrug off the odd jeer we encounter in life others choose to get upset. I wonder if our egos are becoming just a little too precious. With the right to recourse I could envisage a lot more people becoming fragile and taking offence. How many in the legal fraternity would see this as an opportunity to make more money. Up goes insurance premiums even more so as we become more offended and more litigious.
Instead of more regulation, are we not able to be educated towards being more socially responsible or courteous towards fellow human beings. No matter where we go, whether it is a new job, new school, new suburb, new town, new country, or even new to punch, there is often a settling in time as we the newcomers try to find our corner. Perhaps with encouragement we could learn to be a little less sensitive and a little less crass towards each other, without government waving a big stick.
Over regulating means bigger and bigger public service to administer and a more costly government contributing to the expense section of the budget.
Craig says:
I believe we need a law that unequivocally states that Australians have the right to be offended.
Being offended is necessary for humans to develop into adults. We need to have our values and beliefs challenged, to face things we find offensive and to draw on these experiences to form our own values and chart our own lives.
Making it illegal to be offensive takes away many opportunities for human to learn and grow, to be confronted with injustices that mobilizes people into action, to challenge unthinking beliefs and faiths that seem to render us subjects of an omnipotent authority.
We need offense in our lives. Young people become politically, soially anf environmentally active by being offended at the poor behaviour of others, they develop their own individuality, their values, ethics an beliefs by engaging in marginally offensive behaviour.
Older adults learn how to rear their children and to conduct themselves in the workplace through both good examples and the bad - offensive - ones. Not having access to being offended would cripple our workplaces and stimulate the spread of poor behaviour.
The level of secrecy by governments and corporations would magnify if anything that could be considered offensive was hidden from public view. We would allow the people controlling the levers of power to do so in greater secrecy than in any state that has existed in modern times.
So I call on all our elected officials to remember their own motivations for entering politics. Many would have had motivation through offense. Where would you be now if offense was kept out of the public eye?
The right to be offended is one of the most fundamental human rights because it is at the basis of civilisation. We are offended that people due young and get sick, that warlords can kill at a whim, that people can mistreat children and animals, that humans live in squalor and fear.
Without the right - the obligation - to be offended, we are not civilised and nor are we human.
Kipling says:
Now the first thing that struck me here was that if these new laws are implemented, then somone carrying a sign suggesting a beheading is appropriate for anything would be susceptable to the same law, it just requires the offended to act. By act, take more action than boldly hitting the keyboard…
To my mind this still does not justify censorship laws, but, it does present the other side that was blatantly left out of the OP. Censorship?
Perhaps the Government could respond that the law is not censorship but simply Government enacted moderation. Moderation, that's the apparently acceptable form of censorship. A popularly used one too. Worse still, moderation without any clearly articulated and easily accessable moderation policy is absolutley then a form of censorship. No policy equates to ad hoc or arbitrary moderation at best, in short, censorship.
I guess I see it as a bit rich for a forum that practices censorship (in effect) to cry foul over laws that will pretty much enshrine censorship as a legal measure. That is sad in so many ways.
It is of course your opportunity now though to make some clear choices regarding censorship and the euphamisitic "moderation" to back up the position touted in the OP. Of course it won't happen. Government = Bad, Press = Good….
By the way, the media is not really in the business of reporting news as such anymore mate, that is very misleading. It is in the business of making money though that is very correct. In order to make money the media may indeed offend some and I would put it to you that, if offending one lot meant that the media made lots more money from one other lot, then offend you would, in fact, offend you often do.
Allf of that said, I am bitterly opposed to anything that, en masse, inhibits a right to free speech. Of course, as individuals, we all have personal standards as to what represents free speech. Having a vehicle for your "free speech" to be heard from is not the same as having a right to free speech for example. Hence, I can say what I like, but there is no gaurantee it will be heard. My right to speech is not curtailed only my access to broader mediums - hence this post for example is in the hands of a moderator working with no clearly articulated (at least publcly articulated) moderation guidelines and therefore, open to censorship.

Old Dog says:
I am deeply offended and insulted by the proposed restrictions on my ability to call a spade a spade - without inciting violence of course.
If the proposals are confirmed, would this mean I could take action against the Government?
Cynic Al says:
If Nanny Roxon gets her way we could paraphrase that sign to read "Punish all who insult anyone!".
the truth about breeds of dog says:
To put some perspective on this debate the first thing you need to do is accept Darwin was right. People are just adaptable animals and have developed into various breeds. Like dogs. The second thing you need to do is accept there is no god or mohammed or whatever. Religion while a nice, romantic idea just sugar coats the inevitable fact that sooner or later all your dust is gonna be doing is pushing up daisies.
Back to dogs. I have a kelpie. You have a pit bull. I don't want to let your pit bull play with my kelpie. Then the government passes a law saying it's illegal for me to discriminate against your pit bull or to talk badly about it in any way.
I can no longer say pit bulls are dangerous and unpredictable and that all warning signs of attack have been selectively bred out of them or that they have been specifically designed to fight to the death in silence so as not to disturb the neighbours who might tip off the police. So now I have to let my kelpie play with your pit bull. God help the kelpie.
And this is what this proposed legislation will do. We will now lose our power to positively influence the course of human evolution and speak the truth about different breeds of people whose genes are better off lost. And they don't all come from the non-white side of the palette. There are some white ones too, bogan Australians who are making admirable progress in regressing back to our brutal convict forebears.
QE12 says:
With Gillard's imported 457 visa Mr McTernan advising her tactically on how she should not only govern but keep her tenuous grasp on power, and McTernan organising her increasingly fake "image", it's understandable that the tyrannical Prime Minister is disadvantaged by reporting of the many things that has done, and continues to do whilst offending the Australian public.
Reporting about her governance, her Socialist Forum background, her murky Slater and Gordon history and her habitual lying does not go down well with an unstable PM who we know intervened to get two journalists fired, knifed a former serving PM, knifed a NT Labor colleague, banished Robert McLelland and other offensive deeds. Isn't it ironic that here we have a Herald Sun journalist concerned about freedom of expression and did you step forward to defend Glen Milne and Michael Smith when their livelihoods were removed?
Gillard thinks she got away with that, so now there's Labor's new shut your mouth laws in train with the PM's sidekick Emily's List Attorney-General Roxon designing them. No it will be offensive to report and that's why Gillard and Roxon want these laws asap so you journalists better smarten up or you might find yourselves out of a job too.Dictators and abusers of power are known to reduce public opinion to no more than a low whisper, (Chinese communist style). They will tolerate nothing less than total population control.
Hopefully for media and a trampled upon public, Julia Gillard will not be wielding her unbridled power much longer (the 5% least favoured PM) and her freedom of expression plans will be prevented or repealed.
Nick says:
When you get someone as left wing as David Marr complaining about this new law you then realize how extreme it really is.
To all you rusted on Labor lovers out there..enjoy your freedom while you still have it as your comrades in Parliament don't really give a shit about you at all and are only interested in one think.Total power over all people.
Achmed says:
At best the proposed change is ill conceived.
And given the current make up of our Parliament it will be interesting to see how any vote goes. Labor cannot get any change through the lower house without support from the Independents and Greens. The same applies in the Senate.
Such laws would certainly restrict the rhetoric we hear from certain politicians from a particular party when condemning ,for example, the logging of trees, hunting of whales, mining company land destruction etc….
Steve says:
Three points.
1. "among the hysterical crowd" - stop using "hysterical" to give the impression that anything you don't agree with is done by people not of their right mind or overly emotional. Mr Sharwood does it as well. These people were not hysterical. They were protesting about something they believed in in a manner they chose. They actually do want to behead those that insult the prophet. They are not hysterical. They are perfectly sane and methodical and thus should be treated as such.
By using such adjectives as a "code" for these being the fringe you are tacitly giving them cover. They deserve none. Their signs are what they want for the West. Stop sugar coating it.
2. "Those who regard the media as morally bankrupt should reflect on the logical fact that the media is in the business of not only reporting news but also making money."
Sure. Couldn't agree more. Well then act like reporters and not barrackers for one side. You in the trade are slowly slipping into the US model where you are simply becoming an extension of government. It is no where near as bad here yet but it is moving that way.
Just because you like something such as the societal change and control a surrender to climate change scaremongering gives, the waste of an NBN or the futility of Gonski or NDIS does not mean reporting should be tossed out the window. Hell even the ridiculous notion that in any way or usage Abbott is a misogynist having raised three loving and confident daughters is so far from reality based it is scary.
Stop being bloggers with a salary. Be reporters.
3. Overall good piece. Took a while to get to it though. The Bolt case showed where all this mess was heading and activism form the bench makes it worse. Still late to the party is better than not showing up. You better fight long and hard because this country will be changed into something appalling if these Labor control freaks get their way.
And I don't mean I am worried about a tyranny from the left. A tyranny from the right using these laws will be just as terrifying.
These laws are the acts of desperate and scared people. they have no right to be in any any form of authority at all.
Empowered says:
Obedient little creatures we are here in OZ when daily we are passively screwed over by politicians, social engineers, and squeaky wheel minority groups pushing their agendas and pet peevs.
Decency and respect are low agenda items in the pusuit of political correctness and self righteosness, the self exiled Premier of QLD Beatty had the courts hush the actual reason what Merri Rose blackmailed him for a plumb job, even Rose herself is threatened by the courts in the blanket gag order with more jail time if the "big secret" is spoken about, (hint ,, it involves someone having sex with someone else and pillow promises) so much for democracy and transparency for some, Gillard and her co-horts seem to be taking many pages from the Beatty code of conduct handbook.
Helt says:
Waah Waah Waah Heard the same thing for 13 years about the Howard government trying to censor and destroy the ABC and silence critics. As soon as the Libs gwet in again this story will come up about different targets again. Its just the way the media tries to protect its interests. Cynical at best
Stan says:
Censorious laws treat us all like children
Isn't it what the press is doing with bullshit stories ?
David V. says:
If any of you Lefties think censoring the press is a good idea, what about May Chidiac, the Lebanese Christian journalist who lost an arm and a leg defending her country's freedom against Syrian bullying? What about those brave journalists in Apartheid South Africa (one of your favourite causes, only to be shown what a dismal failure the "new" South Africa is) who were able to report on all kinds of injustices?
No, you want to stop those who stand against your social engineering schemes.
Jason says:
What's wrong with you people we are the best country in the world, we have the best government too….. we didn't have the recession we had to have, we have the best wage in the world, most the people want to come here etc..
Can you please just put up and shut up once and for all and let the government do the job he has been elected to do to make laws for the good of the people.
Ben says:
>Can you please just put up and shut up once and for all
Jason, there are quite a few countries in the world where the government insists that the population "shut up for once and for all" while it makes laws, ostensibly, for "the good of the people". Perhaps you should try living under one of those regimes.
Reg Whiteman says:
I think it is a good thing.
I can't wait to take action against: various Muslim Sheiks who preach hatred in the Mosques, insult Australian social mores, and offend me by calling for my beheading; Greens Senators who call for the boycotting of Israeli owned businesses; black arm-band historians who insult my Anglo-Celtic heritage; Christian fundamentalists, Protestants and Catholics who disparage homosexuals, fornicators, and apostates and thus offend me because of my apostasy and fornication; any sign or publication available in Australia not written in English or containing an accurate English translation - I find foreign-language signs deliberately discriminatory and offensive; the abolition of all racist place names that I find offensive like Blacktown, Brown Mountain, White Cliffs, Brownsville, Blacks Beach, Blackwall, White Hills, White Patch and Whitbridge inter alia; Opinion bloggers and commentators such as Bolt, Akerman, Jones et al who all offend me on any given day; that bloke who called me a "fat pig" at the club some months back; my ex-wife for the insulting things she said about me in the Family Court etc etc so on and so forth to infinity.
Indeed, I intend to sue everyone I know and every place I do business for the offence they are sure to cause me at some point in the future. I shall represent myself to cut down on the legal fees and I'm betting 90% of people and businesses will pay up with a negotiated settlement rather than go to court.
Yes, this will definitely be a great leap forward, that's for sure.
Utopia Boy says:
To me, parents who promote hatred through their children should be exposed for the scum they are. If such parents value their privacy, or have any real moral values, they would not have used their child as a tool.
It is newsworthy.
Topless pictures of a Princess taken with a long lens under clandestine circumstances for the sole purpose of selling newspapers is not news.
Paul says:
I'm one of those people who regard the media as morally bankrupt. I see it that way because many journalists behave like an unrelenting wave of vultures that harasses private individuals who have been unfortunate enough to be struck by tragedy.
Journalists know that they can carry on like this because a) all of their neighbours are doing it, b) they've been doing it forever and c) the revenue just keeps coming in regardless of backlash. I guess they either don't care about the feelings of the innocent, or simply can't empathise with them and their desire for some privacy.
I remember seeing the fallout surrounding the death of a marine in combat who had a journalist attached to his squad. This poor bloke died in agony and the journalist took pictures of it. The journo then went and published the pictures against the will of the marine's family. It takes some kind of insect logic to determine that course of action.
I'm not for the government throttling the media. I just wish more journalists had a proper sense of morals than just a sense of self-importance.
Mouse says:
Quick question….... if that pic shows the back of the poster, what is on the front that the Mum is taking a picture of? *scratches head* :o/
Hypocracy ... it exists says:
I find that image you used at the top of this article offensive. I believe under the new laws I would have the right to sue the person who published it (the punch), the writer of this article (david penberthy) and the woman in the image as well as the person who took it. Hmmm ... I could make a nice little pay check out of all that suing and for making me view offensive material. I wonder what an image of a My Little Pony would bring ... I mean they are clearly offensive being of unnatural colours and I find cuteness offensive as well ...
AW Smith says:
We already live under 'one of those regimes'. The legislative power to silence innocent victims already exists. In WA it is the Guardianship & Administration Act - and similar silencing clauses exist under the State Administrative Tribunal Act and the Family Court Act. Under the GA Act a person who is deemed as lacking mental capacity (even if they still have capacity) is silenced - and those who speak out against injustice are most likely to be deemed as having 'behavioral symptoms of dementia'. People are already exploiting this legislation - including doctors, lawyers and financial 'professionals' so as to conceal criminal behavior. Governments - state and federal - know it is happening, but don't care because the victims are mostly elderly and will die before the truth comes out. It is, as WA MP John Kobelke said in parliament on 7 November 2012, "state-sponsored elder abuse" where the victims are silenced and they are robbed of their assets. Our stalinists-in-skirts federal govt is simply introducing this draconian power to a federal level.

Can someone please just ban the left, right and the centre. Australia despite what you are led to believe is not at the brink of becoming Soviet Russia or Facist Germany. It will be a vanilla harmless country as it always has been. Can everyone just shut up about the Gillard government's failures or Tony Abbott's short comings. You can't do anything until the election so leave the vitriol until then.
Jamo says:
Yeah thought that might be the case, thanks for confirming. I'll just go and join the fight for the right of some people to express their desire to cut my head off then,Cheers
Concerned citizen says:
Using "the public has a right to know" as a basis for lobbying for freedom of speech laws then exploiting those laws to gossip-monger is an excellent example of how untrustworthy our media has become.

Bring back the national socialist party its better than anything we are offered now.
Jacket says:
A useful article David. The proposal to limit our speech deserves all the contempt we can give it. The ideas that Conroy puts forward are invariably childish, shortsighted, totalitarian and impractical. Imagine the backlog in the Courts if this type of legislation was enacted. Thousands of cases a day could be brought just on the utterances of government ministers. Unworkable.
Jane says:
I get constently offendedby peoples actions in this society.The thing is I tend to just roll my eyes and realise It' mostly becaue I am smarter,More creative and far more thoughtful.If I was to then become someone who felt the need to stand before a judge and whine about how offended I wasI could bring the coursts to a screaming halt as I could possibly have examples of my being offended on a daily basis.Having been a labour supporter my whole lifeI have no-one to vote for in the next election.As the Alp is ruled by a female tyrant. The libs ar eruled by a self proclaimed "booze hound "religious nutjob.The greens although heart in the right place basically will bend like a branch when threatened.That is what is truely offensive.No-one is left to lead our nation into the future.

Best Uses
- One Time Use
These are great for setting the Sock Hop theme - we modified the lyrics from Rock Around the Clock for the inside. Lots of space to get the key info in. They're a little cheap/cardboardy - would have been nice if the record was vinyl but as long as you're not suspecting high end, they're fine.
Paid extra for faster delivery by FEDEX who screwed up & delivered them very late - but when I called them direct, they gave me a $50 credit.

I used my cards to invite people to my 50th birthday. They loved the fact that they were so different and had never been seen in Australia before - the originality. They liked the layout - easy to read and really informative.

Your company should change the name of the product to "LOOK-a-like" Vinyl. The current name VINYL is very deceiving mostly when the customers can't actually feel the quality of the product but based everything on the picture and your company's description. Overall, the product is just ok because of its design. But I DON'T think it is great for Themed Adult Parties that you are planning to be elegant. Maybe it will pass to children themed parties instead.

After reading the prior reviews, I still went ahead and ordered because the invites fit my theme so well. They are small, perhaps only 4" round, but then again, I didn't have to add extra postage. The cardstock with average quality, could have been thicker and sturdier in my opinion. I would order again however based on theme & price & the fact that I could personalize how I wanted it to be. Also, I was sent several extras which was very nice and unexpected. Thank you!

It is a cute invitation but it was smaller than I thought it would be and the paper was thin. It appeared to be somthing I could have done at home in a way, and I'm not super handy.

From the cool interactive name badges to the expanded agenda of educational breakouts, FICP's annual conference in November wowed attendees with many new initiatives. A record-breaking number of more than 250 planners and 423 hospitality partners attended this year, taking over the beautiful grounds of the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in Scottsdale, Ariz. Celebrating its 50-year anniversary, the association integrated the theme, License To Learn: Bond in 007, into the four-day conference. The theme came full circle when founding member and conference attendee Jim Dreyer was recognized in a video interview that highlighted some of the changes planners have experienced during the past 50 years.
Among the firsts at the 2007 conference were many environmentally friendly meeting practices that ranged from recyclable signage to the use of water coolers instead of bottled water. To limit paper, electronic conference schedules and session evaluations were used on nTag interactive name badges, and a flash drive with presenters' PowerPoint presentations was included with attendees' registration materials.
Educational highlights included more than 30 breakouts that were aimed at both novice and veteran planners as well as Hospitality Partners. They featured speakers on topics that ranged from industry compliance to social networking to planner-seller negotiations. The presentations are available to members at www.ficpnet.com.

Man Charged With Homicide In Death Of Usher's Stepson
A man has been charged in connection with the tragic death of Usher's 11-year-old stepson.
An arrest and charge has been made in connection with the death of Usher's 11-year-old stepson.
Yahoo.com reports that Jeffrey Simon Hubbard was arrested after a grand jury in Hall County, Georgia, indicted him on charges of Homicide by Vessel, Serious Injury by Vessel, and Reckless Operation of a Vessel.
In July 2012, Usher's stepson Kyle Glover and another young girl were struck by a jet ski operated by Hubbard, a family friend of his father's, as they rode in an inflatable raft.
While the girl managed to sustain only minor injuries, Glover spent 10 days in a coma brain dead before passing on July 21.
No details have been released regarding why Hubbard was charged. He is currently being heald without bail, and will appear before a judge this weekend.

A few nights ago, we experienced a heavy snowstorm at the outskirts of Outer Heaven. We assumed it'd subside sooner or later, but we came to notice some strange phenomenon about it. The latest patrol we sent out earlier came up with various reports, some which seemed really weird.
• Heavy Snowstorm spreading over the entire Park
• Trees moving about and sightings of Elves
• Pokémon being hostile towards one another
• Huge resettlement of Ice type Pokémon within the Park
• Christmas Items held by Pokémon
All the teleport devices across various areas of the Park has been inactive for some reason or another, which means you have to venture from one place to the other in sequential order. We're going to meet up at the source of the heavy snowstorm, so everyone, please be prepared for a hefty expedition! We've also stocked up the Park Mart with a couple new Items just for this mission alone, to aid you in any way possible. Take proper action, and be safe!
• Report to your Individual Thread(after your assigned Ranger/etc gets it up) and indicate to your Ranger via RP Post that you're wearing a certain Holiday Item ;)
- More info in Park Shop
- If you fail to do this, you can't unlock the Item's Effect at the end of the Event (End Point)
• Collect Santa's items which will be dropped by Pokémon if you successfully fend them off. (To fend them off, reduce their HP to 45% or less and they will run away after which.)
• Legendary Pokémon will be encountered as well, but you can't take their pictures. (To fend off these, reduce their HP to 50% or less and they will run away after which.)
• Pokémon encountered during this Event Mission cannot be captured.
• Choose one of the 3 Routes available and try to reach your final destination, Outer Heaven outskirts.
Route One:
DOCK (start point) -> Great Lakes -> Meteor Valley -> Mt.Oktori -> OUTER HEAVEN OUTSKIRTS (end point)
Route Two:
DOCK (start point) -> Botanic Gardens -> Abandoned Power Plant -> Mt.Deckbi -> OUTER HEAVEN OUTSKIRTS (end point)
Route Three:
DOCK (start point) -> Woods -> Outer Heaven -> Mt.Deckbi -> OUTER HEAVEN OUTSKIRTS (end point)
• You'll encounter 10 Pokémon per Zone, All Categories, inc Legendaries. So yeah, Rangers, take note of what you get for Scenario Roll, so that you know what to do for Encounter Rolls as you go.
• To get to the next area/checkpoint, simply gather 5 Christmas Items or more.(After you've obtained at least 5, your Ranger will give you a choice ; warp you to the next zone/checkpoint or continue in current zone)
How to win
Gather Santa's Items from various sources (not just Pokémon) to accumulate points. Top 3 accumulators would be crowned victorious.
• Candy Cane = 1 point
• Milk and Cookies = 2 points
• Snow Star Crystal = 3 points
• Santa's Present Bag = 4 points
• Santa's Hat = 5 points
• Santa's Suit = 7 points (Dropped by Legendary Pokémon only)
Wild Pokémon can drop anything except Santa's Suit.
The End
Those who make it to the End Point (Outer Heaven Outskirts)...Well, I'll leave it here. Surprise, surprise :p
The Rangers' Job
Final Notes
Any more Participants are welcomed, but make sure you've already signed up for the Park. Other than that, the Holiday Items are now available in the Park Shop. Oh yeah, this event will end once all the participants have reached the Outskirts of Outer Heaven. Please don't delay this too long!
All participants post here with your Stats Info(see Sample below) and our Rangers would respond to you by getting your thread up. Use the Individual RP Forum for this!
Sample Post;
Pokemon you're taking along: (Take along 4 able Pokemon, no more.)
Route: (your preferred Route)
Rangers, name the Thread something like the following.
Christmas RP Event : Bumblebee
Of course, depending on who you take in, the Name of the Trainer changes. :p

I started doing this in honor and in memory of my daughter Alison Nicole Whearley- even thou she is gone-- she'll never be forgotten.
I do this solely to honor the memory of those who have passed on. I will be happy to transfer someones family member to them.
Please take in consideration when sending updated information that is long and detailed, that it may take me some time to get it posted. I work full-time and am also a full-time mom. I will get the information you send me posted as soon as I can.
Also please take in consideration that some of the pictures I post are taken by my two helpers, my children.
Concerning "Duplicates" at Ward Cemetery. When I took the gate picture and also the grave pictures mine were on the WARD site first along with another contributor of other graves that I made sure not to duplicate. The cause of the duplictes is that apparently some of these were put under "WARDS" Cemetery, and apparently that contributor corrected theirs to the correct cemetery name, which is now causing the duplicates. I will not delete mine as they have pictures, information and in some cases flowers and information from others on them.
Thank you,

Comments about Storybook Riding Hood Tween Costume:
I bought this costume for my 15 year old daughter in hopes that she could wear a more conservative costume since the adult costumes are a bit lacking in material, and she thought it was cute. She is a size 0 in adult and 14-16 in child, so I bought the 14-16 as I normally do when I find things in youth departments. This costume fit her but was so short that it came right up to her undergarments. She is 5'4" and small in stature. I had to return and get her an adult size costume.
Comments about Storybook Riding Hood Tween Costume:
I purchased this for my 10 yr old daughter, who is very tall & thin. She will be wearing it for her horse show. I would have gone up 1 size because it was tight across her back and maybe it would have added another 1 inch on the length.It is good quality materials, very pretty, looks cute in and out of the package. Just needs white tights and white bloomers underneath, which I would add anyway because it's cold on Halloween.
Comments about Storybook Riding Hood Tween Costume:
I got this costume for my daughter to wear for halloween last year! She loved it and it was great she wore white tights under it Because it was a tiny bit short and it was cold. This year my other daughter wanted to be a scary little red riding hood so we used this costume and splattered fake blood on the dress and also used the extra for her makeup! Everyone loved the costume! Definitely the perfect costume for halloween
Comments about Storybook Riding Hood Tween Costume:
i wore this to my friends costume party, and let me tell you EVERYONE LOVED IT. if you are 12-13 years old, this is the PERFECT COSTUME. the price was very reasonable, and very worth it. the costume is comfy, and it's not as short as everyone says it is, just wear tights or leggings with it. GET THIS COSTUME IT'S AMAZING.
Comments about Storybook Riding Hood Tween Costume:
got this for 11 yr old daughter to trick or treat. Had to get white leggings to wear under it. Even SHE was uncomfortable with how short it was. Besides that it was absolutely adorable costume
Comments about Storybook Riding Hood Tween Costume:
I love this costume! The price was very reasonable and it's very cute! I wore this to my friend's costume party and EVERYONE LOVED IT! The only downside to this costume is that it's just a tad short. But all in all I FREAKIN LOVE IT. If you don't buy it, fine. But that's your loss. :)

Comments about Storybook Riding Hood Tween Costume:
I loved this costume!! I was able to fit a hoodie underneath because I live somewhere where it gets cold in October. My friends loved it. The only bad part of this costume was its length. The skirt is way too short and it is very important to wear non see through tights or leggings underneath.Not a very good skirt for a windy day!

Comments about Storybook Riding Hood Tween Costume:
i used this for a costume party. it was sooo cute and i got so many compliments ( i was 13 when i got this). the only thing was that the white thing in the chest area was a little small and really high up. may just be me though. its a bit short, but it's short enough as a good thing. and not expensive either!

This is a 25 volume set, very color and graphic intensive, they go from the years 1450-1976. Volume #2 lost its spine and backboard but still readable. They include information on newsworthy events including weather and major historical events of each year. They are broken down by groups of years until 1969 and then each volume is a year on it's own. Very interesting reads, even discusses political conventions, etc.! They have been sitting in my garage until we moved so they are dusty and well-loved. On the internet bookstores I have found them ranging from $100-200 and I would ask $50 or best offer. Please email me or call and you can come by to see them. --Tabbi firstname.lastname@example.com 792-4110 Thanks!

I am replying to my own message because frankly after moving I am just plain ole tired of moving junk around! So anyway I am changing the price of these things to $25 and I am going to attempt to move them onward! I am going to have a garage sale this weekend? If it is nice weather but I will let you all know and things are going to be either free or really cheap I just am tired of trips to goodwill and stacking things in the garage I want them gone sooner! --Tabbi

You have probably gotten rid of the encyclopedia of American History but by any slim chance, do you still have them?

I am sorry I ended up donating them as I am on the 12-step depackratting plan and I got sick of looking at them sitting there not being used! Sorry try looking at Goodwills in town although it has been so long that they are probably already gone.

PPCorella, sometimes they have kids encyclopedia sets for sale at the library's Children's Book Sale in August at the main library. Usually they go for 50-cents per volume. I got a good, though slightly dated, science enyc. set that way.

thank you all for your reply however I live on Long Island so I am sure I will not make the sale.
