"I can't believe this is happening AGAIN!" - Ed Helms in The Hangover Part II
"Neither can we." - The Audience
Director Todd Phillips has a punk rock streak. His first project, made while he was still an NYU student, is the shock-documentary Hated: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies. In it an interview subject is about to reveal someone's identity, but stops himself. "Wait, you can't use this in the movie." Okay, we won't, is the response. And, of course, the footage remains in the final cut.
Punk rock filmmaking!
The Hangover, a movie I didn't particularly care for, but also didn't hate, touched a nerve with a lot of people. Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms are charismatic as the everyman joker and uptight dentist tracing the consequences of their uncaged inner animals. The plot is absurd and some scenes are funnier than others, but at least it was a somewhat clever idea.
The Hangover Part II breaks whatever small connection the first film had with reality from the very first scene. It is the same exact movie. And while many of my peers seemed surprised that all the A-listers in this project would agree to this truly lackadaisical script, I knew better.
It's punk rock!
What's a better "screw you" to The Man than to take your half-a-billion-dollar franchise and slum it with a sequel that is so ridiculously stupid that no one could ever take it seriously?
Further proof is the nearly fourth-wall breaking product placement. When a character asks if "anyone wants anything," Ed Helms takes center stage to say "I'll take a Smart Water." I was certain this was a setup for a joke from one of the other characters, or a callback later in the film, but no. It was Punk Rock Todd Philips flipping Hollywood the bird.
Good for him. Bad for the audience looking for a good time.
Now, there are a few laughs to be had in The Hangover Part II. Even though Zack Galifianakis' character has gone from lovable oaf to abyss of idiotic destruction, you can never deny that the man has comic timing. Dude goes into a Buddhist temple and asks "are we in a P.F. Chang's?" To quote Larry the Cable Guy, I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.
The Hangover Part II also has its share of shock scenes - we're still in a cycle of one-upmanship that started with There's Something About Mary - but even all those exposed wangs are rendered flaccid when there's no simply no way to connect with this film on a story basis.
I love to suspend my disbelief (hell, I read comics!) but the absurdity of this whole enterprise renders everything moot. Worse, still: the characters can't seem to care, either. When the newbie to the group (Mason Lee, a budding surgeon and cellist), loses a finger and no one seems to think twice, what was still standing in the movie just collapses.
When Robert Downey Jr. is flip about his lost finger in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang it shows how the desperate characters in that film react to conflicts that would shatter a normal person. The Hangover Part II, which is allegedly all about normal people ("Oh my God, we'll miss the wedding!"), doesn't react because it would take too much effort to think up a new story beat. It's far simpler to just stick to the plan and ape what happened last time.
If you are the type of person who goes to the movies once a year, and you loved the last one, then, sure, you can see this one and have a reasonable night out. But if your life isn't dictated by babysitters or Hollywood's greed, and you really want to laugh, do yourself a favor and see Bridesmaids instead.

Damn, auto version is sold out. Was going to try it for the price. I have a situation where I'm unsure what will happen though. My CR-Z has bluetooth handsfree for calling but no bluetooth audio streaming. It has a USB port and AUX tho for ipod or whatever. I wonder how the iphone would handle calls if it's synced to this for music.
I'm not totally sold on bluetooth audio. Heard it in a friends car lately we switched from BT to USB and the sound difference is severe. ..but I'd give a shot for 15 bucks. |
Ordered this and received the Home version. Just tried it out and it skips or stutters every few seconds.
Looking at their returns it says it has to be in same condition as it was received? I opened it so it isn't in the same condition. Anyone know if I can still return this? |
Received my auto version a few days ago and tried it out this morning with my IP5. Setup is pretty much a breeze, but the sound quality is abysmal. I'm getting ridiculous levels of distortion in the signal. Not sure if this is due to poor internal amp to the product, or what, but there's really nothing I can do about it. Adjusting bluetooth output volume on the iphone doesn't help, of course, since there's no distortion in that signal anyway (other than minor loss of fidelity due to AD2P protocol). Distortion is also there whether I turn my head unit (OEM BMW 135i) down or up, so it's not an amplification issue on that end.
There are no volume controls on the unit itself, so I'm about to give up on this one. The audio is really that bad. Oh well, at least it was only $15... |

MAP Goes to United Kingdom
by John Armitage | Nov 27, 2012
For the third year, in partnership with University of Evansville, MAP will schedule a 10-day course, Contemporary European Business, at Harlaxton College in Grantham, England.
For the third year, in partnership with University of Evansville, MAP will schedule a 10-day course, Contemporary European Business, at Harlaxton College in Grantham, England. Grantham, located 110 miles north of London, is a small town, rich with British history. Home to both Sir Isaac Newton and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Grantham's rolling countryside is untainted by tourism. Liverpool, home of the Beatles, is not far away. This business course combines culture with classroom, incorporating trips to British businesses such as Jaguar, with studying at Harlaxton College, a 19th century, 100-room mansion. Blending traditional age students from University of Evansville with adult students of MAP makes the course even more interesting. According to students who have attended in previous years, on day one, everyone is a little skeptical of the mix of ages and perspectives. By day two, students look forward to working in groups with such diverse backgrounds. Each day starts in the classroom, often with guest speakers from European businesses, and is followed by a field trip to businesses in neighboring towns such as Yorkshire, Lincoln, and Nottingham. Upon return to the college and after having the evening meal, students return to the classroom to discuss the day's activity. The course also includes some time in London to explore on your own or in a group. Without ever leaving the college grounds, the experience would be like no other available to adult students of accelerated programs in America. As you approach the entrance to Harlaxton College, you become speechless as you take in the beauty of the grounds and the college itself. Built as a residence in the 1830s, Harlaxton College is an architectural wonder fitting to be called a castle. It is very rare, indeed, to find a 10-day study abroad course that fits the schedules of busy adults. Don't miss out. Right now is the right time to start planning to be in the May 2011 Contemporary European Business class. For more information, contact Nancy Crosby email@example.com.

So Pretty
Par NANCY
de ANCASTER
Although the tanzanite stones in this ring are not that deep, saturated, royal blue-violet colour, that we would like them to be, it's still a pretty, sparkly, ring. If they were that colour, we would not be getting this ring for this price. The stones are cut and set beautifully.We all want the most for our $ but we have to be realistic.
Par Dissapointed customer
de Toronto
I was very dissapointed with this product. I purchased this ring for my mother who loves tanzanite and loves this colour, and she had the unfortunate experience of having the stone fall off AFTER the 30 days, now its up to us to find a jeweller who can match the exact same stone and dish out extra money. Very surprised that it would just fall out like that.
Lovely, comfortable but lacks quality
Par TSC regular
de T.O.
Loved the style of this ring for everyday. Tanzanite very light and small stones but it makes up in comfort.The downside?Somehow losing one tanzanite. The method of securing them in place is lacking it seems because I did not abuse the ring myself.
Great everyday piece
Par Fashionista
de Etobicoke, ON
This ring is very pretty. I would wear this everyday. The tanzanite stones are a nice blue/grey/purple, and very sparkly. The diamonds are very tiny, and you can't see them very well .. that is why I would say 4 stars over 5. VERY comfortable to wear. I would buy this ring again.
love it
Par Heather
de Kelowna, BC
this ring is gorgeous, sparkles like crazy!!! Extremely satisfied with this purchase. I love tanzanite
Tanzanite & Diamond Triple Row Sterling

I purchased this ring and it really was quite beautiful. The look, colour and everything about it made it look more expensive.

Beautiful ring. Lovely matching tanzanite stones and diamonds are a beautiful accent. Could definitely pass for white gold! Feels very comfortable when worn. Elegant.

From there, you can export the survey responses and easily import them into your CRM system, storing exponentially more data about your supporters.
Fast Campaign Creation
No more wasted time
Unless you've spent significant time, energy and resources crafting a campaign that you are confident will resonate with your voters, chances are your campaign may reveal certain questions aren't resonating in the way that you had intended or worse, they are causing voters to drop off in the course of the survey completely. With VolunteerYourVoice's real-time reporting, you can monitor campaign responses and make adjustments mid-campaign to better utilize time, resources, and ever-important voter communications.

By Leika Kihara
TOKYO, Aug 5 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund
said it was essential that Japan go ahead with a scheduled
two-stage doubling of its sales tax from next year amid signs
the government is reconsidering the plan out of concern it could
derail a nascent economic recovery.
The IMF also called for the Bank of Japan to be ready to
expand its asset-buying scheme or shift the mix of assets being
purchased if inflation does not pick up as envisaged, or if
government bond markets became volatile again.
With Japan's huge public debt leaving the country little
room to offer additional fiscal stimulus, monetary policy should
be the first line of defence against risks to growth such as
weakening exports to China, the IMF said in a detailed report on
its annual consultations with policymakers released on Monday.
Japan is due to raise its sales tax in April to 8 percent
from 5 percent, and to 10 percent in October 2015. The IMF said
the hike was an 'essential first step' to fix Japan's fiscal
problems, and should not be delayed.
'The absence of credible fiscal and structural reforms could
weigh on confidence and undermine the success of the started
reforms. This would not only be detrimental to Japan, but also
for the rest of the world,' the IMF said.
'As Japan's debt would remain unsustainable, a global tail
risk of a spike in yields and volatile capital flows would
remain on the table.'
The central bank has unleashed an intense burst of stimulus
to end 15 years of deflation, promising to double the supply of
money to achieve its 2 percent inflation target in two years.
Its strategy rests on buying around 7.5 trillion yen ($76
billion) of long-term government bonds per month, as well as
risky assets like corporate bonds and trust funds investing in
stocks and property.
The IMF said expectations of inflation are rising, a sign
the government's efforts are working so far. But the test will
be whether markets will eventually expect inflation to reach the
government's 2 percent target, Jerry Schiff, the IMF's mission
chief to Japan, said in an interview.
'Two percent inflation expectations would signal that the
Bank of Japan's efforts are now fully credible,' he said. 'So
we're not there. But we have moved in that direction.'
The BOJ should stand ready to boost asset purchases, or
shift the composition of purchases to buy more risky assets than
government bonds, if risks to Japan's recovery heightened and
prevented inflation from picking up, the IMF said in the report.
Japan's public debt is the largest among major
industrialised nations at more than twice the size of its 500
trillion yen economy, and the sales tax hike is considered a
test of the government's commitment to reform.
Sources have said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has ordered a
study of alternatives to the planned increases to avoid
derailing an economic recovery he has tried to foster through a
policy mix that has been dubbed 'Abenomics'.
The IMF has backed Abenomics, which combines aggressive
monetary easing and fiscal stimulus with structural reforms. But
it has also said Japan must eventually increase the sales tax
rate to at least 15 percent and craft a credible fiscal
consolidation plan as soon as possible to reduce its debt.
The IMF's Schiff said the hike in the sales tax should move
ahead as planned in order to convince investors Japan was
serious about tackling its fiscal issues.
'Everybody knows that Japan has a very large debt burden ...
and they need to make a down payment on a medium-term plan to
bring debt-to-GDP down,' he said.
Schiff said the consumption tax could slightly hurt growth
next year as consumers scale back purchases, but the effect
would be less than the government's projections for a hit to GDP
of 0.6 percentage points.
If growth were to slow further due to the tax, Japan could
consider other ways of boosting the recovery, such as an
investment package or more monetary stimulus.
'But that would be preferable to not going forward at all
with the consumption tax, because we think that's really
critical for maintaining investor confidence,' Schiff said.
The IMF's report estimated that if the sales tax were not
increased, Japan's net public debt would rise to around 245
percent of GDP by 2030, compared with 210 percent if the tax
hikes was implemented as scheduled.
Still, there are disagreements even within the IMF on the
feasibility of the two-stage tax hike plan, according to a
statement issued by the IMF's decision-making Executive Board.
Directors of the board 'generally supported' Japan's plan to
double the sales tax rate by 2015, although a few 'expressed
concern over the possible adverse impact on growth.'

Drug Therapy Options for InsomniaSedative-hypnotic drugs do not cure insomnia, but they may relieve symptoms. Short-term use (2-3 weeks) of sleeping pills may be warranted for chronic insomnia while other treatments or behavioral therapies are being started. The choice of sedative-hypnotic depends on the type of sleep problem. If an individual has trouble falling asleep, a quick-acting but short-lasting drug such as zolpidem (Ambien) may be prescribed. Zolpidem tartrate (Intermezzo), a lower dose formulation of Ambien, can be used to treat insomnia characterized by middle-of-the-night waking followed by difficulty returning to sleep. In general, these types of drugs are useful because they may be taken after several hours of trying to fall asleep, yet the effects do not last long enough to cause difficulty waking in the morning. Drugs that have longer-lasting actions, such as flurazepam (Dalmane), temazepam (Restoril), estazolam (ProSom), and antidepressants, are more useful for individuals who wake up after initially falling asleep.

New Toshiba Laptops add 802.11n
The push towards increasing everyone's wireless speed to the newish 802.11n draft spec (as opposed to all those slowpokes with b/g Wi-Fi) got another shot in the arm this morning with Toshiba's new Satellite A205 series. These are the first laptops from Toshiba to have the faster 802.11n technology. The 15.4-inch wide-screen A205 starts at around $1,000 and is available starting today.
Also joining the A205 today is the imaginatively named P205 --a 17-inch desktop replacement starting at just $999, a relatively low price for a big-screen laptop. Add about $200 and you … Read more

Rick Bayless is chef of Frontera Grill and Topolobampo in Chicago, creator of Frontera gourmet foods, cookbook author and host of Mexico - One Plate at a Time.
There are probably many of you wondering about the title. Why collaboration? What does collaboration have to do with sustainability anyway? Isn't sustainability about lowering my carbon-footprint, or shopping for organic vegetables at Whole Foods, or wearing t-shirts made from bamboo?Well, here at Frontera, one of our goals is to live "sustainability" everyday. And by that we mean we recognize an active, positive and thoughtful interaction in three inter-related spheres.
Investing in our community, our staff, our customers, and the local family farmers who grow for us. Without these people we cannot be sustainable; we are not viable. Sustainability begins with the relationships we have developed with members of our community and it is fueled by their creativity and energy.
Living in balance with our environment and the seasons. We all live off the land, even if we are not farmers or growers. It is essential for us to respect our relationships not only with the people who grow our food, but with the soil that nurtures it. Our aim is to serve flavorful, artisanal food grown responsibly by people we know.
Running our restaurant in a financially responsible way. Without a commitment to our economic underpinnings we cannot continue to support local agriculture, nor maintain and grow our staff. In our restaurant, managers are committed stewards of their budgets. Together we work from month to month, and year to year, to sustain healthy, manageable growth.
Collaboration is at the heart of our commitment - it is the driving force in the food we serve, and the creativity behind how we serve it. Through collaborative action we bring more people into the fold, we generate new ideas, and we adjust the balances.

A Look at LocalWho wouldn't want local? It's the freshest, right? But using local ingredients also forces us to be seasonal. For chefs, having a direct relationship to seasonality – having to create with a given season's bounty – is dynamic and challenging. We get a short window to relish certain flavors whether they be tomatoes or ramps or squash blossoms. And once they're gone, there's a deep yearning for that season's return. All the dreaming, wishing and planning in the off-season – it drives our creativity and makes those flavors that much more special when they return. It seems intuitive, doesn't it? But when you're craving strawberries in January and you see them in the grocery store, it's not always easy to say no. When we say "local agriculture," we are not always talking about farms beyond the Chicago city limits. Urban agriculture is a growing section of local food production. We produce many of our own greens in the Bayless Family Garden right here in Chicago. And during the summer, we have an expanding project growing rooftop tomatoes and chiles for summer salsa harvested amongst the skyscrapers. There are also an expanding number of people turning their own little plots of urban soil into gardens and orchards, and others are joining together to create community gardens right inside the city limits, changing the face of "local."For urbanites to develop relationships with farmers enriches the lives of those here in the city, as well as helps sustain family farming in our countryside. That kind of direct connection creates community and investment for the future health of family farms. Through farmers markets and community-supported agriculture programs, urbanites and farmers alike can share their experiences and create a different and more thorough understanding of the systems of local agriculture, including the economic, social and environment underpinnings, that sustain us all.
Is the meat and poultry served in the restaurant humanely raised?Yes.
Our free range chicken and duck is from Gunthorp Family Farm.Our pastured lamb is certified organic from Janie Crawford's Farm.Pastured Boer goat is from Justin and Trent Kilgus of Pleasant Meadows Farm.Specialty beef is all grassfed from Bill Kurtis' Tall Grass Ranch.All other beef and pork are raised without the use of growth hormones or anti-biotics.
What about seafood? How do you navigate the many issues related to seafood?
Seafood products that are caught or raised in an environmentally sensitive manner not only benefit the health of the oceans, but also provide many opportunities to improve the growth and sustainability of seafood businesses and restaurants such as ours.To determine whether a fishery is environmentally sustainable, we can look into the following factors: how abundant a species of fish is, how many fish are being caught, what other types of marine life are caught with the fish, whether endangered species are harmed, and what effects the fishing gear has on ocean habitats. For farmed seafood, we can look into the type of system used to farm the fish, whether the farms release pollution in the water, what types of chemicals are used, the amount of wild fish used as feed, and whether the farmed species is native to where it is raised.Seafood harvested or raised in a sustainable way, often has superior taste, freshness and quality. Seafood products that are abundant and well managed are worth the time and money we spend at Frontera Grill to retain these products in order provide them to our guests. We can all do our part and play a critical role in protecting the marine environment now and for future generations.

The Frontera Family of Local Family Farms
Ken Dunn & Kristine Greiber of City Farm run an organic farm bordering two very diverse Chicago neighborhoods: Cabrini Green and The Gold Coast. Located on the west side of Clybourn Avenue, just north of Division Street, the farm boasts 30 varieties of tomatoes as well as beets, carrots, potatoes, gourmet lettuces, herbs and melons. All produce is grown in composted soil generated from various sources, such as restaurant trimmings from some of the finest kitchens in Chicago like Frontera Grill and Topolobampo.
At Crawford Farm in New Glarus, Wisconsin, Janie and Andy Crawford have pastured their lambs, which they sell exclusively to Midwestern restaurants, on 250 acres of rolling green hills. Janie has also been raising market hogs.
Greg and Lei Gunthorp raise pastured hogs, chickens, ducks, rabbits and squab on their 65-acre farm in LaGrange, Indiana. They also have finished building a USDA certified poultry processing plant at the farm.
Hidden Falls is a cooperative of small family run fisheries in Alaska that only use hook line harvesting, no nets. The fisheries harvest salmon, sable, halibut, and king crab. It is the goal of Hidden Falls to create an ethical and safe fish program that incorporates biologically sustainable criteria and benefits small family fisheries.
Jeremy McWilliams, age 16, owns and runs Little Farm on the Prairie, where he raises pastured chickens and turkeys. He has been providing turkeys to Frontera since the fall of 2006 and currently supplies the restaurant with eggs. He also provides fresh eggs and chickens to the local grocery stores near his home and fresh turkey to individuals for the holiday.
Trent and Justin Kilgus, ages 14 and 17, began their small goat herd in 2006. They pasture raise their goats in Pleasant Meadows Farm, just south of Fairbury, IL. This season they have increased their herd to over 100 goats. The growth will enable them to greatly step up the amount of high quality goat meat they sell to Chicago restaurants.
Prairie Fruits Farm raises organic, fresh and flavorful fruit and sustainably made cheese. They are the first farmstead cheese facility in Illinois. Their Nubian and La Mancha goats are raised on locally produced high quality hay and pasture, and only their milk goes into their cheeses. On just seven acres of rich prairie soil in the heart of Central Illinois, they have begun to transform the landscape from cash grain agriculture to diversified perennial fruit trees, berries and goat pastures.
Tucked in the rolling hills of Wisconsin's Southern Kettle Moraine, Rushing Waters is one of the most beautiful fish farms in the United States. On 80 acres of pristine forests and valleys, 56 ponds are fed with crystal-clear artesian spring water. These deep underground springs maintain a very cold water temperature ideal for producing healthy rainbow trout. Rushing Waters Fisheries has been growing rainbow trout since the 1940s. This is their first year participating in the Festival. Bill Shores runs a garden management and design business that focuses on intensive, small-scale gardening systems. He has training in biointensive gardening, permaculture, garden design and plant biology. With over 10 years of experience running organic commercial food gardens, designing urban landscapes and teaching, Bill works with clients to utilize indoor and outdoor urban spaces for food production and edible landscaping. He currently manages the Bayless Family Production Garden where he raises microgreens and salad greens.
Bill Warner and Judy Hageman of Snug Haven Farm raise winter hoophouse spinach, early season tomatoes, cut flowers, and arugula on their picturesque two acre farm in Paoli, Wisconsin. They also head up Frontera's tomato freezing project each summer and provide us with tens of thousands of pounds ripe, height-of-the-season tomatoes to cook with during the winter months. Marty and Kris Travis of Spence Farm run the oldest family farm in Livingston County, Illinois. Visitors are encouraged to experience and learn about farm life of yesterday and today, exploring such topics as diversity, heirloom crops, heritage breed animals, conservation of natural areas, woodland management, restoration of buildings, and preservation of heritage. They raise a wide variety of crops and specialize in harvesting ramps, wild greens and pawpaws.
The Stewards of the Land is a group of local families helping to change the world by producing fresh foods for kitchens across Illinois. The farms of the Stewards are all located within a 50 mile radius of Fairbury, Illinois, a small farming community nestled among large fields of commercially-grown corn and soybeans. With a mission "to create, maintain, and support the family farm, to help them become and remain sustainable and profitable, and to provide the same opportunity for future generations," the Stewards are working to maximize the potential yields of specialty crops like mulberries.
Tallgrass Beef, founded by Bill Kurtis (journalist, rancher, conservationist, and owner of The Red Buffalo Ranch in Kansas), is a group of independent family-owned farms that raise cattle that graze on natural grasses rich in nutrients and high in anti-oxidants. The result is beef rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high in Vitamin E, higher in beneficial unsaturated fat, and lower in saturated fat and cholesterol. Their beef is sold in restaurants, select grocery stores, and through their website tallgrasssbeef.com.
At Three Sisters Garden, Kathe Roybal and Tracey Vowell (former managing chef of Frontera Grill and Topolobampo), are starting their 7th season of producing sustainably raised vegetables (including all the huitlacoche used in Frontera and Topolo) and cut flowers on their nine acre farm in Kankakee, Illinois.

Pruning the Parks: Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area Was a National Park for Just Five Years
Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in Utah-Wyoming had been in the National Park System for only five years when, on October 1, 1968, Congress transferred it to the U.S. Forest Service. There was little sense of loss. Congress hadn't mandated NPS administration and the NPS wasn't deeply committed to reservoir recreation management.
Pruning the Parks: Six National Parks Acquired via Transfer in 1933 Were Subsequently Abolished
The National Park System grew by 69 units via the Reorganization of 1933, which was signed August 10, 1933. However, six of the "1933T" national parks were subsequently abolished. This serves to remind us that periodic pruning is a natural and healthy function of large, complex systems.

As 2010 wraps up, many people will decide how they will make a final contribution to their favorite nonprofit organizations before the calendar year ends. Giving can provide hope and bring peace during an often otherwise hectic season. There are a number of ways to give – and not all of them financial. The gift of your time is valuable and appreciated.
You can take the time to give to the Preeclampsia Foundation the gift of a review. GreatNonprofits has partnered with GuideStar, the leading source of nonprofit information, to launch the "Donate A Review Campaign." Guidestar serves a wide audience including grantmakers, government officials, academic researchers, and the media.
Whether you're a volunteer, donor, Board member, survivor or family member you can share how your life has been impacted by the Foundation. By taking a few minutes to tell your story, you can help raise awareness and reach new donors and supporters. A review does not need to be extensive. Even a couple of sentences will provide a powerful testimonial. Share your review today!
If you're like millions of people, you search the internet every day. Next time, use www.GoodSearch.com to raise easy money for the Preeclampsia Foundation. GoodSearch donates about a penny per search to charities named by its users, so make sure you designate the Preeclampsia Foundation before you search. Multiply daily usage by thousands, and the pennies really pile up. In fact, the Preeclampsia Foundation recently earned almost $200 thanks to smart online searching by our supporters.
Please join us this holiday season by using www.GoodShop.com to do your online shopping. Fifteen hundred stores, from Amazon to Staples, have teamed up with GoodShop and will donate a percentage of virtually every purchase to our cause. These merchants are also now posting thousands of money-saving coupons and free shipping deals on GoodShop.com.

And, for those who are able to make a difference through a financial contribution, you can donate here, knowing your gift will be used to directly support programs and services that drive our mission forward and save lives.

Price policing
Is anyone else tired of seeing comments on for sale threads like this:
Very nice and clean at a good price. good luck with the sale! Nice price including the hood. Awesome lens! Urge to spend tax return money rising...... (actual comments all on the SAME ITEM) My favorite: Great price, this won't last long..... (then shut up and buy it already!) Isn't this just a positive form of price policing?

Re: Price policing
The thing that bothers me about those is that I surf the sell forum looking for items with 0 responses. Since most people do not lock the thread when the item has sold I assume that something with 5 posts is probably already gone. Then when I open the thread it's just 5 people who have no intention of buying. If I was the OP I would report them myself.

Off topic chit chat has no place in For Sale threads and are routinely deleted when found. Often sellers welcome these posts and even participate in the chit chat because it bumps their thread for those using last post sorting order.

In an era when U.S. growth is hard to find, there's one sector providing 100% year-on-year growth: mobile internet. Via Forbes:
AT&T and Verizon are in a race to build faster next-generation networks based on a technology called LTE in an effort to have customers use their data services more. Verizon is in the lead, with LTE deployed in 230 markets, compared with AT&T's coverage in 35 markets.
Faster networks aren't cheap to build, but they could turn in big numbers for carriers in the long term by encouraging customers to use data-intensive applications, like video, even more.
Cisco (CSCO), the networking company, recently published a study showing that use of mobile data more than doubled in 2011, driven by fourth-generation, or 4G, networks. A smartphone on a 4G network is likely to generate 50 percent more traffic than it would on a slower one, Cisco said.
While it may seem like everyone and his or her dog has a smartphone, the truth is, less than 50% of U.S. mobile consumers have a smartphone. As these consumers transition to smartphones -- and as mobile products like iPads replace stationary computing -- mobile internet is going to be huge.
Investment Strategy 1: Network Providers
People wanting to access the internet on the go will obviously be shopping for a network provider, putting U.S. companies like AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) in positions for great profit. These companies are seeing strong growth trends, especially in wireless data:
AT&T said that net income in the first quarter rose to $3.6 billion, or 60 cents a share, from $3.4 billion in the same quarter a year ago, while revenue climbed 1.8 percent to $31.8 billion.
Revenue from wireless data jumped 19.9 percent to $6.1 billion from the year-ago quarter, AT&T said. The company said that 60 percent of its data customers were paying for its tiered data plans and of those, 70 percent were opting for the more expensive plans.
AT&T and Verizon are some of my favorites in the domestic telecommunications sector, because both AT&T and Verizon are great dividend stocks with current annual yields around 5%. For interested investors, Rajiv Tarigopula provides a thorough analysis of AT&T's positioning here.
For investors looking into global companies, some options are: Nippon Telegraph & Telephone (NTT), Telefonica SA (TEF), China Telecom ADS (CHA), China Unicom (CHU), BCE Inc (BCE), France Telecom ADS (FTE), BT Group PLC (BT), CenturyLink (CTL), Chunghwa Telecom (CHT), Telefonica Brasil SA (VIV), Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLK)
Investment Strategy 2: Network Infrastructure Providers
Building the infrastructure necessary to sustain massive of consumption is no small investment, and certain companies in the business of building infrastructure will reap the rewards of those investments.
I've written before about why I like Cisco (and options plays to guarantee income). As a quick recap of a recent development:
With worldwide mobile network traffic expected to increase 18-fold between 2011 and 2016, Cisco today introduced the foundation for a new generation of mobile Internet networks: the Cisco(R) ASR 5500 platform.
Cisco is acquiring and developing technology, placing it ahead of competitors like Juniper (JNPR). Such moves are solidifying Cisco as one of the frontrunners to profit from the coming mobile internet boom.
Investment Strategy 3: End-User Hardware Providers
The nice thing about consumer technology (from an investor's point of view) is the fact that it all goes obsolete in three years, ensuring that hardware producers have steady income as people buy the newest and latest gadget. I've written about why I heart Apple (AAPL), but there are plenty of other companies out there. For example, chipmakers Qualcomm (QCOM), ARM Holdings, (ARMH) and Intel (INTC) could see huge gains as more and more global consumers purchase hardware based on their processors. You can't forget about Microsoft (MSFT) either -- and who knows, maybe Nokia (NOK) or Research In Motion (RIMM) will make a come back. (But personally, I'd recommend going with the frontrunners.)
Conclusion: Mobile Internet Will Change The World (And Your Portfolio)
I'm bullish overall on U.S. stocks, but I'm especially bullish on companies set to profit from the rise of mobile internet. Obviously, when investing in any company, it's important to conduct due diligence and analyze the balance sheet, financial metrics, news, etc. This article is not meant to be a thorough analysis of each of the stocks mentioned -- it's just intended to provide an overview of an up and coming sector (mobile internet) which will provide great investment opportunities.
I'm certainly bullish on AT&T, Cisco, Intel and Apple. Do your own research on the others mentioned, and you might find some tantalizing growth prospects.
Additional disclosure: I may initiate a long position in one or more of AAPL, INTC, T in the next 72 hours.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Cedar Grove police chief who witnesses say dragged an 80-year-old man off his ATV and slammed him to the concrete said in a criminal complaint that the man wouldn't follow his instructions and tripped getting off the ATV.
According to the complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court, Johnny D. Walls said that he first stopped Robert McComb for traveling the wrong way on Dawson Street. He charged McComb with a wrong way violation, fleeing an officer on an ATV and obstructing an officer.
Walls said McComb couldn't hear him at first, according to the complaint. When Walls asked for a second time if McComb had a driver's license, McComb told him he did but that it was at his house.
According to the complaint, Walls then asked McComb if he knew he was traveling the wrong way on a one-way street.
McComb said, "Well I guess you will have to take that up with Bill Gray then," and quickly drove away, Walls wrote in the complaint. It was not clear Thursday who Bill Gray is.
Walls said he yelled for McComb to stop, then got in his police cruiser, turned it around and put on his emergency lights.
"The driver failed to stop and continued traveling south on West Ward Street at approximately 30 mph," Walls wrote, noting that the speed limit is 15 miles per hour. "I then accelerated and pulled beside him and motioned for him to stop, which he did not. I then pulled in front of the ATV and stopped."
Walls said he got out of his cruiser. He says McComb tried to turn his ATV around the side of the cruiser in his direction.
"I drew my firearm and told him to stop and do not move the ATV," Walls wrote in the criminal complaint. "He stopped and stated to me, 'Buddy, you don't have to do all that!' I then told him to turn the ATV off and get off of it. He stated to me, 'No, I'm not getting off.'"
Walls said he took McComb by the left wrist with his left hand and by the left upper arm with his right hand and told him to step off the ATV.
"He attempted to pull away from me. I then pulled him forward and told him again to step off of the ATV. At this time he started to step off the ATV. As he was stepping off of the ATV one of his feet got caught on something on the ATV and he fell to the ground striking his right arm and right side of his head on the pavement," Walls wrote in the complaint.
Walls said while on the ground, McComb tried to pull away and was very belligerent and told him he had no reason to treat him this way.
