New privacy system for movement of consumer data between US & Asia-Pacific economies
If your company does business in the Asia-Pacific region — or if you work with clients from that part of the global economy — you'll want to follow recent developments in the privacy arena. This week, the FTC welcomed the approval by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC) of a new initiative to harmonize cross-border data privacy protection among members of APEC.
Court holds defendants in contempt
When a federal court tells a business to stop a certain course of conduct, here's a handy tip for those who want to avoid even more serious legal trouble: Stop already.
Is it insurance? Putting a premium on truth
If you're one of the millions of Americans who's self-employed, healthcare costs remain a concern. So a phone call pitching what sounds like comprehensive health insurance coverage might attract your interest. Except that according to the FTC and the Tennessee Attorney General, what United States Benefits LLC was selling wasn't really health insurance.
What businesses can do to support the troops on Veterans Day
You might do business with members of the military community — or they could be your employees, neighbors, family and friends. On this Veterans Day, you may be considering a donation to a charity that assists veterans, active-duty personnel, or military families. But not all "charities" are legitimate: Some are sham operators whose only purpose is to make money for themselves. Others use paid fundraisers whose fees eat up most of a donation, so very little of it is shared with those in need.
COPPA: All skidding aside
It billed itself as "Facebook and Myspace for kids," but according to a settlement with the FTC, the Skid-e-Kids website failed to meet critical compliance obligations under COPPA, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. As a result, the FTC says the site collected personal information from about 5,600 kids without their parents' consent.

Lizzie McGuire may be the queen of 'tween, but don't expect to see her graduate from high school. Despite the hit Disney TV series and this month's movie spinoff, the character is kaput because the studio wouldn't meet 15-year-old star Hilary Duff's asking price for further ''Lizzie'' projects.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Disney had been planning to move Lizzie McGuire from a charmingly awkward junior high schooler on cable's Disney Channel to a blossoming high schooler in an ABC series. The studio offered to raise Duff's per-episode salary from $15,000 to $35,000, but her family sought $100,000. The studio also offered her $4 million for a sequel to ''The Lizzie McGuire Movie,'' plus a percentage of the profits, up from the $1 million she received for the first film plus a $500,000 bonus if the movie grosses more than $50 million. That seems unlikely, since the first film has stalled around $37 million after four weeks, but the Duffs demanded the bonus whether or not the movie reaches the milestone, the Times reports.
Each side blames the other for the split. ''We very much wanted to continue the Lizzie franchise," Disney Studios production chief Nina Jacobson told the Times. "But every deal has its tipping point, the point at which it no longer makes sense. Unfortunately, that's the point we reached in the Lizzie negotiations, and we ultimately had to say goodbye.'' The Duffs' lawyer, Michael R. Fuller, told the Times, ''Disney's strong-armed tactics and failure to pay our client a fee commensurate with offers received from other studios and networks caused the breakdown of negotiations with the Duffs. While the Lizzie McGuire franchise may be over for Disney, Hilary Duff's career is flourishing.''
In fact, Duff has two movies coming up, the remake of the family comedy ''Cheaper By the Dozen,'' and ''Cinderella Story,'' both for other studios. As for Disney, it has the upcoming DVD of ''The Lizzie McGuire'' movie and 65 episodes of ''Lizzie McGuire'' that the Disney Channel can rerun forever.

Perfect solution to space problem"
by Mrs Hine
Having hunted high and low for a drying/airing solution for my small utility room, I decided to give the Hangaway a try. Of course, the lovely people at Lakeland assured me that I could return it if it didn't fit the space, but it is just perfect. The tripod base allows it to tuck into a corner and it folds up when (infrequently) not in use.

I love the hangaway, it has been great to hang both my ironing on and also to dry clothes too. Disappointed though,as not only has an arm collapsed which is now unusable, one of the legs just gave way yesterday so now I either throw it away or wondered if these parts can be replaced ?

Wonderful product. Has taken away the need to use door handles etc to hang coat hangers on as you finish your ironing. Quick and easy to erect, sturdy. Also very useful to have as an additional drier when the tumble dryer is on overload. Compact storage in its own bag when not in use. Wish I had bought one sooner.

It's absolutely brilliant! It holds far more then you think it would! unfortunately it's not as sturdy as it feels, the base of ours has snapped after 18m rendering it useless....I don't know if it was over used (although no more was hung on it then was suggested) or it's from a bad batch but I'm considering buying another in the hope it was a bad batch and the new one outlives it! it really is fantastic

excellent, but with a safety issue"
by Keith
This is an well constructed airer and should last many many years. The only concern i have, is that when unfolding the airer with the push button, it is very easy to trap the skin on the palm of your hand as the device opens. I think a small design change would remove this hazard. Not serious but could be avoided with a slight modification to the design. Gets 8/10

Brilliant and practical"
by Ellen Zorina
Using my hangaway now to hang my clothes after ironing, it is such a pleasure to have instead of always looking for somewhere to put the clothes after ironing, before putting it away in the built in wardrobe. Would have been a bit more happier if it had one more adjustment hole to adjust it a bit higher, for long clothing like a long dress. This is my opinion anyway. Overall, very happy and pleased with my purchase that was long overdue in getting! I, like the other satisfied customers would highly recommend it for organised people in particular.

Essential organiser"

I love the Hangaway - it holds a great deal of freshly ironed clothes and it saves me having to keep going upstairs transporting them at the end instead and saves me time for doing other chores (and hobbies too.) It's great for hanging items on to dry too either outside or under cover if the weather isn't too good. All in all the Hangaway has rate in the top 5 of my purchases in Lakeland - possibly at number 1 Thanks Lakeland!

Used on whilst on holiday in South Africa, and had to purchase one when I got home. Brilliant piece of kit, really simple way to dry loads of shirts, t-shirts, tops etc, all on hangers to minimise heavy ironing. Uses very little room.

The Hangaway is fab. My old Hangaway broke after 8 years and I HAD to order another one. I use this for hanging clothes on whilst ironing, it saves on the clothes getting creased. I've also used it at carboot sales and baby markets for clothes I'm selling. Someone even tried to buy it from me!! My product arrived damaged and Lakeland sent a replacement straight away. I love Lakeland, you can always guarantee great customer service. Thank you Lakeland.

Two Amazing Games, One Horrible Port

11 out of 13 gamers (85%) found this review helpful
The graphics are 'cleaned up' so much that the gritty, foggy, rusted worlds are now pristine and free of tension or character. The sound, likewise, has been tampered with to such a point that the original PS2 version is superior in every way. Even the sound of walking on steal plates, like in Silent Hill 3, is made clunky and poorly recorded/put out. There is also a myriad of sound syncing issues. The game's voice track struggles to match the lips of the characters' mouths in an obvious and sad way. The sound of swinging a sword or shooting a gun is often lagged and plays noticeably later than it should. It's embarrassing, really.
Then there's the actual bugs and glitches. This game is a mess. It struggles frequently with frame rate issues. In Silent Hill 3, which has more enemies on screen at once, the game often slows to a crawl as the main character runs in slow motion. The screen will often jerk around while loading, and sometimes a simple action like moving the camera around will cause immense slow down and lag. It's sad when this supposed 'HD Collection' for the powerhouse systems of 2012 struggles to run this years old PS2 game. It boggles the mind.
Again, the games themselves are not actually bad. It's the port--this 'remastering' that is the stinker here, and man does it stink. It ruins the entire experience. For that reason, I highly recommend finding the PS2 originals. For Silent Hill 2, there is also an Xbox version which is better than this port. Both games also have PC versions, though they may be hard to find. Silent Hill 3, in particular, looks great on PC and will run well on most gaming rigs. So please, play these games...just pass on this 'collection'.
P.S. You wouldn't know it by this 'collection', but there is also a Silent Hill 4 for the

Both games provide excellant stories, a number of both fun and irritating puzzles, a variety of scary monsters to battle and unforgettable characters.
To make things even better they enhanced the graphics and improved the Voice acting, making the games look and sound spiffy for the 360 and PS3. Some people complain about how the new voices dont fit the characters or that the graphics arent that good, but they are wrong. sure the graphics arent Resident evil 5 or Call of Duty good, but they fit the bill, and the voice acting? well thats their opinion. i personally have no problem with it.

These titles were gorgeous and groundbreaking on the PS2, but their dialogue was forced and the voice acting induced eye-rolls from start to finish, and seeing that kind of neglect carry over into this generation of consoles makes me cringe. It's like being shown of your sophomore high school yearbook photo and reminded of how much about your appearance you thought wasn't all that noticeable, only to have it come screaming back to you.
Those who are willing to put real thought into their gaming will find cause to liken this unto highlighter scribbled across all of the flaws of the series, putting a soul-jabbing context on the many mistakes it continues to make. Sloppy, cliche, and aimless. I still love the overall story of SH2, but nothing about either title has aged better than your average glass of milk left on the counter. Neither title had a technologically or generational need to be brought to HD (especially not without SH1), and this ends up nothing more than a sadly transparent cash grab whose target audience consists only of PS3 owners who never had a PS2 and who can forgive character models and voice synch limited by the older system's tech. Oh, and people who knew nothing of the series and were drawn in by the random O-face on the cover.

Silent Hill 2 suffers slow downs and the new voice overs are horrendous to the point I'm happy they released it with the original voice overs. However the voices are out of sync and sometimes I feel like i'm watching a chinese dubbed movie with the way the lips move and the voices speak. The HD graphics are crisp, however the game suffers lag at times. It feels like i'll be running at regular speed, 60 frames per second, then I suddenly drop to about 5 or 6 frames.
Silent Hill 3 suffers all the problems above...however at a more constant pace. The slow down accounts for 90% of the game. What should have taken a speed runner 2 hours and 15 mins to complete (my last speed run time, knowing where everything was, on easy) took 4 hours and 10 mins however the game still logged me at 2 hours and 9 mins. The slowdown is THAT bad. The new voice overs are horrible, however konami in this case couldnt release the original voices due to Heather Morris not signing off on her voice work. People claim they couldn't find her however its the same Heather Morris who voiced Cheryl Mason in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories so Konami has her contact info. The new voices are so terrible I muted the game and put on a series of cutscenes on my laptop and hooked in Headphones to play when a cutscene played. The only actress who seems to care in Either game is the new Heather, at least she sounds invested, the other guys just phone it in.
If you want to play these games in crisp clear definition, buy a 25 dollar Playstation 2, grab Silent Hill 2 Greatest Hits, and Silent hill 3, and hook it up with a Component cable. Still cheeper than this watered down port

First, Silent Hill 2 HD
With extreme lag, stuttering, hitching, slow-mo, frame-skipping, and freezing non-stop even after a 300mb patch. The lag screws with the controls, making turning more difficult and quick-turn a hit-or-miss. The lag also has a hand in putting the horrible, awful new voice overs out of sync by 2 to 5 seconds!
The audio is garbage. Bad volume levels, wrong pitch for monsters, random SFX. No stereo leveling. End credits are so distorted they will blow your eardrums. Monsters in the game had their audio swapped to a frentic mess of noise.
Graphics look terrible. Game is letterboxed during cutscenes, unless when they forget to put letterbox on. Shadows are not anti-aliased and blocky. Textures on the streets were changed to make them look freshly renovated and clean. Any prerendered CG cinematic is suffering from low bitrate and no enhancements. They all look terrible (this includes the intro and credits). Sometimes there's pop-up. Sometimes the rope/nooses don't load for the 6 hanged criminals puzzle, so they are just floating in air. Sometimes the upside-down bodies in baskets don't load in Pyramid Head's room.
There is a 2 second blackness between going through doors, or activating cutscenes. Because of this, it is hard to get anywhere fast, and you can sometimes get lost. Also because of this 2 seconds of black, it cut the suggestive scene with Pyramid Head and two mannequins in the apartments. It also cut the scene of opening a can of... lightbulbs.
New voices do not get the point, nor match their characters. The acting is not very good at all compared to the originals. The one nice thing I can say about the game is that you can play with original SH2 voices. But the game is still too laggy to sync their lips to the voices and some actors were changed anyway, like the doctor and game-show host (he is the worst).
Don't buy it. Don't even

there are some absolutely ridiculous effects designed mainly to pad it out, such as the debilitating fog that just cuts off half of your view (thankfully gone in the sequel). however, its not nearly as bad as the darkness (made a core gameplay feature in the sequel), and i'm going to rant here for a second.
its so bad that it made me assume that the redesigners decided to stop making the graphics better and instead decided to make it nearly impossible to see even on the brightest settings, gamma all the way up, and the flashlight on. IN BRIGHTLY LIT PLACES. it gets even worse in the next one, where near the beginning you have to find your way through hallways filled with enemies, randomly interacting with walls hoping to find a door that isnt broken.
the controls are gimmicky and annoying. theres only one camera control that centers the camera behind your head, and to attack you have to hold one button while pressing a different one. and it never tells you this. or anything.
the puzzles are just stupidly rediculous. theres one in SH3 that requires you to put books on a shelf, and its literally impossible if you dont know the works of shakespeare. which the main character openly admits to.
the story seems forced, like a fill in the blank puzzle found in a doctors office with half of the spots filled in with nonsense.
on the bright side, the music is AMAZING... in SH2. and the enemy design is awesome in both, but prepare to see the same monsters a million times over. but thats pretty much all of the bright side things i can think of.
if it wasnt painfully obvious, this is my first review. but if you seriously need to play it, get a version for the ps2, so that you dont have to deal with my biggest complain

From the creepy simple landscape to the disturbing monsters that fill the ashy world of SH.
In this version most of the frame rate problems have been fixed to move much faster and more fluently without pause. In some ways I feel this was a mistake, and the reason I say that is because the framerate from the original is what made the game a little more realistic.
But none the less I have no other complaints. The graphics are much sharper and with cleaner lines. All in all still a classic.
Im a stickler for the original voices from the game and not the new ones. Its so wierd to listen to!
This is a must have game for your collection.

As for the games themselves, they actually were quite good. I personally didn't care for them, and my gut tells me that they won't be most people's favorite survival horror games. They just felt a little too heavy on the puzzle side of survival horror games. I truly enjoyed having the option to play the action and puzzle portions at differing difficulties in both games, which threw in real replayability. But, nothing made me jump like a Resident Evil, and action always felt to take a backseat. Even though action wasn't the primary focus, and the puzzles that were there were interesting, they didn't live up to what I like in puzzle games: all out in your face puzzles.
The stories are both off-kilter, but do raise some mature thoughts (death of a loved one, good vs evil, etc). There are also other alternate endings, where you can see a glimpse of the quirky side of Japanese culture.
It's rare that I'll rate a game highly because I see the quality in a game, even if I don't like it. If this series had a different balance that matched my tastes, I'd definitely say that this would be the rare game I'd buy. Since it didn't, I just played through each game a few times, and still am happy I rented the game.
If you've never tried Silent Hill and are curious, definitely get this game in your queue!

Horrible controls and camera make it unplayable.

I'm used to old-style controls such as the classic 90's Tomb Raiders, and even the first Silent Hill, where "forward" moves the characters forward no matter which way they are facing. But with those titles the camera is almost always behind the character, so "forward" really is usually forward.
The camera in Silent Hill 2 is terrible. The angle changes from one arbitrary static position to another far too often. It is impossible not to walk into a wall every 10 seconds. Maybe the design is to make it more nerve-rattling, but to me it is just frustrating and no fun at all. I'm glad I just rented it.
I wish I would have known just how bad the camera and controls are. I wouldn't have even wasted the rental.
This game is bad...

Posts tagged: Get out the Vote
Young voters who might be slacking off on their civic duty might be prompted to mark and mail their ballots on Halloween with a get out the vote effort organizers are calling "Trick or Vote."
Washington Bus and NextUp Spokane, a pair of non-profits, will be doiong several things young voters may like better than voting — going to a bar, wearing costumes around neighborhoods, going back to a bar for music — on Oct. 31 in Spokane.
They'll gather at the nYne Bar and Bistro, 232 E. Sprague at 3 p.m. for some pointers, then head out with "walking lists" of key precincts which will tell them where voters aged 18-35 who haven't voted are living. (You can get lists like this from the Spokane County elections office.)
They'll knock on those doors, greet residents with "trick or vote" and hand over some information on who supports and who opposes the ballot measures. Nothing on the candidates, but if asked they'll be able to mention the voters go to the on-line guides.
Alayna Becker of Washington Bus says the number one excuse for young voters who don't vote is "I just forgot about it." This gives volunteers a chance to remind them to grab the ballot off the desk or counter (or fish it out of the trash) and get it done.
Volunteers will return to the bar at 7 p.m. for a Halloween party.
As mentioned previously in this space, Spin Control is skeptical of efforts to boost young voter turnout. But this item does allow us to post the video above that spoofs the Christine O'Donnell "I'm not a witch" ad (even though it is a stretch.

North Korea, as seen through an iPhone and Instagram in real-time
North Korea's had a busy month. After conducting a third nuclear test and angering just about everyone, North Korea is finally letting foreigners access the Internet on their cellphones through Koryolink, the country's only mobile provider.
With the new relaxed mobile policy, foreigners will be able to present the real unaltered North Korea, as it happens. The Associated Press' chief photographer for Asia, David Guttenfelder, is one of the first people to post photos taken with his iPhone directly to Instagram.
As a photographer, Guttenfelder says he feels that it's his duty to present North Korea in its true state:
"I feel I can help open a window into a place that would otherwise rarely be seen by outsiders. As one of the few international photographers who has ever had regular access to the country, I feel a huge responsibility to share what I see and to show it as accurately as I can."
Interestingly enough, while foreigners will have access to the full uncensored mobile Internet, North Korean citizens will not be getting mobile Internet access on their cellphones. We're expecting plenty of photos from North Korea to start popping up on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook over the next few weeks, but for now, Guttenfelder's 'grams below provide the purest look into the bizarre nation.

Neat way to configure a standard Twitter widgetReading Howard Kurtz's preview of a TV interview with Game Change makers, the Twitter widget on the page caught my eye, I think because it was updating fairly quickly.
It's just a standard Twitter search widget provided by Twitter, but it's set up to show tweets from three different media writers:
- Kurtz, writer for The Daily Beast and host of CNN's Reliable Sources
- David Carr, media and culture columnist for The New York Times,and
- David Folkenflik, media correspondent for NPR
I like it because it doesn't hawk only Beast writers, and the three tweeps involved are prolific and good at this Twitter thing.
In case you're one of those people who thinks you can't implement something like this yourself? You can. Don't let anybody tell you that you can't and don't tell yourself that either. And if considering using these kinds of drop-dead simple embeds in a business setting, and somebody thinks you need to waste the time of five people to have a meeting about it? What you do is just laugh.

From Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon
In the air
The night was long
Now the crowd has gone
There's a sunlight on my bed
Feels like a radiophonic workshop's
Beaming straight into my head
It could make you weep
I can't get to sleep
There's ringing in my ears
Like a radiophonic workshop
Orchestrating all my stupid fears
I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love
My skin is itching
I'm totally twitching
With the pounding in my head
Like a dub sub-sonic beat-box
Booming pass under the bed
My hands are shaking
My mind is aching
With a feeling deep inside
That you've been staring
Sending signals
Every time our paths collide
Think I'm in love
In the air
In the air

Well… Hurricane Season is June to November, and June passed us by without a hitch (although rainy season finally arrived… washing out Taste of Cayman this past weekend).
Now we are in July and this morning we welcome "Dennis"
Of course in Cayman we are all Hurricane experts now, so I would say this one looks like going North of Jamaica, and when they do that they tend to veer to the North. On the other hand… if it does an "Ivan" and bounce off the Blue Mountains to the South of JA, we are right in the path. Mind you, if it was to come near us, then they are forecasting sustained winds of only about 65kts… pah !.. barely a breeze compared to "Ivan the Terrible".
Oh, and if you are due to arrive in Cayman this weekend, don't cancel !! Take a look at the great information on StormCarib here , and you will note that Grand Cayman has not had a Hurricane pass within 60 miles of as early as July since 1933

DROSTE-VISCHERING, CLEMENS AUGUST, Baron von (1773-1845), German Roman Catholic divine, was born at Münster on the 21st of January 1773. He was educated in his native town and entered the priesthood in 1798; in 1807 the local chapter elected him vicar-general. This office he resigned in 1813 through his opposition to Napoleon, but assumed it again after the battle of Waterloo (1815) until a disagreement with the Prussian government in 1820 led to his abdication. He remained in private life until 1835, when he was appointed archbishop of Cologne. Here again his zeal for the supremacy of the church led him to break the agreement between the state and the Catholic bishops which he had signed at his installation, and he was arrested by the Prussian government in November 1837. A battle of pamphlets raged for some time; Droste was not re-installed but was obliged to accept a coadjutor. His chief works were: Über die Religionsfreiheit der Katholiken (1817), and Über den Frieden unter der Kirche und den Staaten (1843).

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A Nevada jury will resume deliberating Monday whether an accused 25-year-old hit man for a Chinese gang should get the death penalty for brutally stabbing a man to death in a crowded Las Vegas karaoke bar over a $10,000 gambling debt.
A prosecutor told jurors Thursday that sparing Xiao Ye Bai's life would only put a ruthless inmate trained to kill with his bare hands atop the pecking order in Nevada's state prison system. Bai's lawyers cast him as an abused child who became a frightened man.
Bai apologized to the jury on Wednesday, and his mother dropped to her knees from the witness stand Thursday and pleaded for mercy. Bai was found guilty of stabbing Wen Jun Li to death and slashing two other people in July 2009.

Aon Receives Perfect Rating On Corporate Equality Index For Sixth Straight Year
CHICAGO, Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aon plc (NYSE:AON), the leading global provider of risk management and human resource consulting and outsourcing, today announced that for the sixth straight year the firm has received a perfect 100 percent rating in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121114/CG12729LOGO) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100719/AQ37264LOGO)
The 2013 Corporate Equality Index rated 889 companies on the extent to which they protected their lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) employees, consumers and investors. Of the 889, only 252 companies received a perfect score. To achieve a perfect score and the distinction of "Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality," companies must have fully inclusive equal employment opportunity policies, provide equal employment benefits, demonstrate organizational LGBT competency, evidence their commitment to equality publicly and exercise responsible citizenship.
"Aon succeeds as a firm in part because of the incredible diversity that exists among our 62,000 global colleagues," said Greg Case, Aon's president and chief executive officer. "Opportunity at Aon is defined by one's character and desire to excel, not by their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, or citizenship.

Oliva Cain 550 Maduro Reviews [view details]Give us YOUR review!
Showing 1 through 10 of 14 reviews
"Worth a Shot"
It is labeled full cigar and full cigar it is. Nice long smoke with full of flavor of spice and some nutty flavor that was detected. Burn was perfect, construction was a little flawed as the wrapper started to come off half way through the smoke. Draw was perfect. Worth a shot, give it a shot.Anthony in California July 11, 2013
"I'm trying to find an Oliva that I like, but...."
I just cant figure out what all the great reviews are about. Each to his own individual taste, and the taste of the 550 was much better than the Inferno, but I haven't had a "quality" stick yet by Oliva. These sat in my humidor at 72 for 3 weeks. It was so tight it was like sucking ice cream through a cocktail straw. I cut a bit more off the head to open up the draw and it was like cutting shoe leather. About 1/3 through the smoke, the binder and wrapper split up to the ring. I don't know if I'm getting bad samplers or if I should just give up on trying to find a good Oliva.El Jefe in Warren, PA December 10, 2012
"When your in the mood for a spicy cigar..."
Spice bomb on first few puffs, tight draw, gorgeous white ash, 1/3 Lots of pepper laced with sweetness, 2/3 sweetness diminishes but not completely, more woody flavors with intense heat, 3/3 more pronounced cocoa sweetness and some roasted marshmallow with the ubiquitous pepper. Excellent stick.Omar in Diamond Bar April 27, 2012
The Oliva G is so much better. I was REALLY disappointed by this.in November 16, 2011
"Real pleasure!"
Perfect construction from cap to foot, very evenly rolled. Med-full body, also med strength. The stick gives off much smoke from an easy draw. Burned straight, slow with no problems. I could put it down, almost forget about it and pick it up to a full rich draw. Very nice cedar-y, woody notes that turn into a smooth cocoa...nut note as you hit the last 3rd. Until now i've primarily stuck to Cameroon wrappers (Torano 1916, Oliva G and Don Carlos), but have ventured into more robust/complex smokes and for the price...this is my favorite!! Great job Oliva!!in Burbank July 28, 2011
"Strong beautiful Stick"
A real full body cigar with good flavor. Perfect construction, great burn, great consistency but can be overpowering for some not expecting it.Patrick in Phoenix, AZ July 2, 2011
"great cigar"
leather overtones with cocoa and coffee. i would rate the strength as bold. great price and the sticks are beautifully constructed.dave in illinois January 17, 2011
"Nothing wrong here..."
Oliva makes great cigars. The Cain 550 is more proof. Excellent construction and burn. Great draw and ash. Complex and consistent. You can't go wrong with this one.Jackson in California January 14, 2011
"Excellent Smoke"
I bought the maduro 550 and found it to be a bold smoke with leather and coffee notes. Great less expensive to my regular Padron's. I will be buying more.dave in wheaton, illinois January 1, 2011
This cigar is simply amazing.Stevie B. in Detroit Rock City December 20, 2010

Brian Cashman, for one, was not surprised to learn that Melky Cabrera and Bartolo Colon, both former Yankees, failed drug tests. "Unfortunately, not surprised," Cashman said on ESPN New York 98.7 FM. … "You see some spike in performance," Cashman said. "You hope it's not the case, but you scratch your head and you wonder at the same time.
"In Bartolo's case, as well as he has done last year as well through this year, at his age, after coming back from that surgery, makes you scratch your head." … "When we traded him to Atlanta we had him as a low-end, everyday regular or an excellent fourth outfielder," Cashman said of Cabrera.
So…does that mean Cash was burying his head in the sand when Colon was doing so well last year?

Frankfurt 2009: Mansory Vitesse Rose is anything but pretty in pink
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Sep 16th, 2009 at 1:39PM
Opinions in the Autoblog media room here in Frankfurt are divided once again. Some of us think the Mansory Vitesse Rose is the ugliest thing on wheels, the most heinous thing ever done to a Bentley, while Lieberman just has no taste. Either way, we had trouble keeping it down while snapping the photos. Fortunately, there was some left-over Pepto hanging around the Mansory show stand for quick touch-ups. The matte pink paint job, which we can only hope is a reversible vinyl wrap, is offset by matte carbon fiber trim and blacked out rims, chrome and logos. But while the exterior stood out,...

I did a post awhile back on Strava, and how it is becoming a bigger and bigger factor amateur cycling. A couple of months on, and some new features have been introduced to the premium package, with more promised later this year. I knew you'd all be dying to hear what's new, so here's a follow-up post to summarise whether or not Strava Premium is worth it.
Strava's biggest news of late is their hiring of Paul Mach, the founder of Raceshape. I've mentioned this website before in my KOM Sniping post. Essentially, it uses data from Strava but offers services that until recently Strava itself didn't. For example, the option to export a course from the website straight onto your GPS. Another unique feature of Raceshape was to track any number of different performances on a given segment over the map; on Strava you can only do this to compare your performance with the KOM's performance – a comparison which may well not be of any use.
In view of these features, it's very wise of Strava to employ him. He said on the website that:
"Recently I quit the cycling game and joined Strava! Over time, I'll be working to get some of the cool Race Shape features integrated. Stay tuned."
He will keep his site up for the foreseeable future, so you can still use these features free of charge. This means that Strava want to integrate his features into their premium package, which would definitely enhance its value. However you'd think that eventually he might take down his site, which would mean paying for previously free services.
- Strava are very keen on the progress goals feature. A very simple idea, you input time and distance goals for each week and it tells you how close to your target you are. They say longer term goals are also coming in the near future. Though important to set goals, the basic version tells you what you've done so far in a week, and you probably know what figure you intend to reach anyway, so this isn't really necessary in my opinion.
- The suffer score has been for premium users for a while, but now they're offering customisable heart rate zones. This means that for whatever training system you're using, it'll present you with HR data showing clearly how hard you've been working. This is important, as if you train by HR, different sessions are based in different zones for different results. This is a very useful feature as it really gives you a more accurate idea of how you've been performing.
- For users with power meters, there are a whole host of new features to interpret your data. I'm not going to go in to them all, but some, like the power zone distribution are very useful for seeing how much time you spent at each level of power. The power curve lets you also examine your best average power readings for different time periods over a ride, and these can be compared with other rides, to help track progress. Strava are very keen on their Weighted Average Power too – they say this is a much more accurate value than a standard average power for the ride.
- There are many more power related features, and they are fast developing more which will come out later in the year. In fact last week they introduced the new 'Segment Intensity Score'. This shows your effort level on a particular segment as a percentage of your maximum power over the past 6 weeks. Therefore you can see exactly how hard you worked on a particular hill, or use it to analyse interval sessions.
- The filtered leaderboards for segments have been around a while, but they are also useful for some people. They allow you to compare yourself with similar athletes in terms of age and weight. This is an advantage as it will often mean you're not comparing yourself to superhumans!
- The two Raceshape features I mentioned earlier have now come to Strava Premium.
- You can now compare your segment performances with anyone else's – be it the KOM or someone in 500th place.
- It's now dead easy to transfer a ride from Strava to the courses folder on your GPS device – something extremely useful. And it'll probably encourage you to be more adventurous with your routes. However, you could just plot the route out on your usual course creator e.g. bikeroutetoaster.
- 'Surprises' also await premium members, as well as discounts on other products.

Tuesday Chit Chat Thread
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 02-19-2013 - 8:48am
Good morning ladies! Its Tuesday, how is everyone doing?
|Wed, 02-20-2013 - 9:25am
Hugs Wendy! Our thoughts are with you and DH during this time. I hope he has a speedy recovery and you are feeling better soon!!
|Wed, 02-20-2013 - 7:26am
Hi all, hope everyone had a good Tuesday. I spent the day tired but made it through. We got word that our difficult student is having some health issues and will be out til further notice, whatever that means. We have another student who has been absent for two weeks, no word from her parents and we are worried about her. Meanwhile, the teacher in our room is sadly expecting her dad to pass in the next few days so we are preparing to run the classroom without her for a week.
Kayleigh had a regular school day and stayed after to film a video for science club. Ian had a regular school day, and no scout since yesterday was originally supposed to be a day off from school (which we lost after the week off from hurricane sandy).
I ran a couple of errands after work, came home to make soup which Ian made biscuits to go with. I spent the evening relaxing and enjoyed (very much!) a couple of glasses of wine
|Tue, 02-19-2013 - 5:03pm
Hi, everyone. Just checking in. Sorry I have been MIA lately. We've had some bad stuff going on around here. We are all OK, but I am struggling emotionally. DH was hospitalized in Duluth from Saturday the 9th until Thursday last week, and the whole situation has me freaked out.
Anyway..I think the last time I posted I mentioned that DS got selected for honor band. The event was about a month ago, and he did very well. His band teacher has him re writing a piece of music for the band to play, so it has been very interesting listening DS work through that process. .DS got asked to prom by a Senior . DD is going to prom with The BF and she and I will be going dress shopping this weekend. School is going well for the kids and me. I am struggling with astronomy, but still managing to scrape an A. I am tutoring another student in my college writing class. We worked on her paper a little bit today.
|Tue, 02-19-2013 - 11:14am
Not a normal morning for us. I have started to make the kids ride the bus to and from school Starting today. Matthew was not happy about that. He'll just have to get use to it. I went to bed at a decent time last night but I am tired. I guess I didn't rest well. I am being lazy this morning. I have dishes to load in the dishwasher and keep putting it off. I have towels to fold and clothes to dry. I might clean floors. Starting to think about Tim's birthday. It's next week and we need to thnk about gifts and cards. Plan the day. I also need to get the bills prepared to be paid today.
Dinner has yet to be decided. I just remembered I need to figure that out.
|Tue, 02-19-2013 - 11:07am
Brrr it's cold! Windy too! I'm still getting use to the creaks of this house and there were many last night which resulted in a poor night's sleep. Add in a math test first thing and both of us is in a crabby mood. Ugh, math. He is a whiz and applies himself in all other areas and is at 95-98% in all his other grades, but math is hovering in the high 70s. Typically I don't care about grades but rather the experience, effort, and more of an educational journey, but the disparity betwen math and his other subjects has me concerned.
We're going to the pool today. DS has expressed some interest in rejoining the team, but its been a while since he was doing that intensive a workout. Last week he went and was wiped after 50 minutes and a team practice is 90. It's going to take some time to get back to that level.
A trip to the grocery store is planned too. Dinner tonight is a hot quinoa mixed with zucchini and sweet potato along with some sort of meat-thinking pork.
|Tue, 02-19-2013 - 8:56am
Good morning ladies! I ended up much busier yesterday than originally planned. Thanks Chelle for doing yesterday's thread.
Today, got up early and tried another new breakfast. We'll see how this one goes over. Got up and out the door relatively on time with little problems from miss Madison. I have 2 projects due today and need to meet with one director on one of them and see if there is room in my boss' calendar to meet today on another project. No plans as of right now for lunch, I may go get my tennis shoes out of my work out bag in the trunk and go walking at lunch for a bit as the weather is supposed to be pretty nice. If not, I do need to run and get a few groceries and I can run to whole foods as its mostly veggies and fruits I need. Tonight, nothing planned as of right now, not sure what's for dinner, possibly leftovers. Jordyn has a play off game for basketball, the bus leaves at 3:00, so she won't be home til late. Luckily she has a study hall this morning and had pretty much caught up on homework over the weekend.
Have a great day!

Charles Morris Butler, Jr. Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Great Falls, on May 28, 2009, before U.S. District Judge Sam E. Haddon, CHARLES MORRIS BUTLER, JR., a 50-year-old resident of Culbertson, appeared for sentencing. BUTLER was sentenced to a term of:
- Probation: 5 years
- Special Assessment: $100
- Restitution: $52,490
BUTLER was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to theft of federal monies.
In an Offer of Proof filed by the United States, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
V. Butler began receiving Social Security (SSA) retirement insurance benefit payments in January of 1981. She began receiving the payments electronically in November 1992, and the payments were directly deposited to a Bank of America account established by her and her son, CHARLES BUTLER.
Although V. Butler died in Langley, British Columbia on April 29, 2003, the Social Security Administration was not made aware of her death and her benefits continued until March 3, 2008.
Between May 2, 2003, and March 3, 2008, SSA made 60 deposits into the account, totaling $52,490. Each of the 60 SSA deposits included the following information "SSA INDN: V.R. Butler." The funds in the account were used on a monthly basis through a series of check card purchases and automated teller machine (ATM) transactions.
BUTLER had also lived in Canada until May of 2006, when he moved to Culbertson. He admitted that he used the SSA funds that came into the joint bank account he held with his mother for his own personal use and benefit. During an interview with an investigator, BUTLER referred to the conversion of SSA funds as "a stupid mistake" and said he had intended to stop using the funds, but that did not work out.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that BUTLER will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, BUTLER does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Carl E. Rostad prosecuted the case for the United States.
The investigation was conducted by the Inspector General's Office for the Social Security Administration.
BUTLER was indicted in relation to the "Pennies from Heaven Project," a cooperative initiative of the Social Security Administration's Office of Inspector General and the U.S. Attorney's Office, which targets fraud in social security programs, particularly with regard to the theft of social security benefits by relatives and others of deceased beneficiaries. Through vigorous prosecution of offenders, the agencies seek to protect the integrity of the social security program and insure that such benefits go only to those qualified and entitled to receive them. To report all suspected social security fraud, please call 1-800-269-0271.

Your ecommerce website is really full of products, you have lots of amazing items in it and your website visitors are increasing day after day. The layout is cool, the graphic and images entertaining, but the navigation may be complicated for users who are uncertain and undecided upon which product to purchase, because there are several similar products among which they can choose. What can you do to simplify your users life and to increase the traffic and engagement of the public on your site?
Simple answer: download our new YITH WooCommerce Compare Plugin!
YITH WooCommerce Compare Plugin is an extension of the WooCommerce plugin and it allows your users to compare the products of your shop they like most and are willing to purchase. All products are stored and saved in one complete table where users can see the differences between the products they have selected.
Among the main features on our e-commerce plugin, an extension of WooCommerce, there is the "Compare" feature, where you can also see a Price Comparison of the selected products.
With this new plugin you can customize the CSS, entering your code in a simple custom CSS field, you can edit colors to customize the plugin with the style of your website and you can even customize the background with a few simple clicks.
Installation and Configuration
Once you have uploaded the plugin, activate your plugin in Plugins > Installed plugins.
This plugin will work only if WooCommerce – excelling eCommerce is installed and active.
YITH WooCommerce Compare Plugin enables the user to compare two or more products in your ecommerce website. To do so, it compares the attributes set on Woocommerce for those particular products and by default it adds the "Compare" button in the shop page and in the single product's detail page.
When you click on the button, it appears a popup window with the products users wish to compare. By default also, after having clicked the "Compare" button, the plugin will open a popup windows with the compare table of the selected products.
All settings can be changed as shown in the table below.
With the YITH Compare Plugin, you have also the possibility to show a widget in the sidebar of WordPress to display the products added in the Compare List by the user.
You can add the widget in Appearance > Widgets and it's called "YITH Woocommerce Compare".
You can't definitely miss it: it is free, so you have no excuses! Download it for free now!
in Free Plugins
Can this plugin work without shopping cart? I want to compare different products from affiliate websites!
Am using the same combination, yith-theme with woocommerce. I can get the compare option. working great. But, i want to set the exact options alone should work on it. How do i manually set my exact features to compare?
{am adding some features in tabs manually in individual products page. I want to compare these entered features too.}
hope you get my point. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
what if i have hundreds of attributes can i set a compare attributes set?
for example
if my website sells computers and t-shirts
attributes will be
ram size
but how do i tell that
when customer is comparing computers alone do not show color and size
its ok if a customer wants to compare a computer and a t-shirt
Hi, I have create a translation for spanish with poedit, how can I send it to you?
First of all thank you very much for your plugin.
I'd like to know how can I change the widget's compare from button to link, OR how can I make the button smaller.
thank you!
I just install your plugin. It looking cool.
But when i click on the compare button .. Its redirect on same page. Mean no pop up appears.
Hope .. You get my issue. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance
It's great. But the problem is, the Product Description tab shows post excerpt. I have already wrote handful of posts with no post excerpt. My post excerpt is the main product itself.
How do I show the main post content in Description? (means it'll pull data from product content itself. Not excerpt)
THanks! Otherwise, working great!
Is it possible to add custom woocommerce products fields to the comparison list?
If not, did you planned this?
Thanks a lot
Asking questions are actually nice thing if you are not understanding anything fully, but this piece of writing gives good understanding yet. Great post
Could you please make this work with Advanced Custom Fields?
always top …
Hi, your plugin saved my life
But there is 1 thing I can't figure out. I can't make my custom product fields appear on fields checklist of admin page.
I created fields by reading this article: http://www.remicorson.com/mastering-woocommerce-products-custom-fields/
For more detail, I want to add one more wysiwyg field like Description field that can be shown on compare box.
Thank so much!
On a mobile version , when I press the compare button , it doesnt respond and just keeps on spinning ? Is it my theme or this plugin is not compatible with mobile ?
