After that, he said 60$ was fine, so he linked it feedback and paypal account. Also that he need my info, so I sent the money on paypal and my information for shipping has well.
Then i come back home and he's saying that he won't ship in Canada and my money was refund.
Maybe he's a good guy but make sure he read your PM correctly before dealing with him.
LOL the whole shipping to Canada issue is back! he tried to make an issue out of this in another forum too.
Anyway - I was selling a set of barrels with a heavier than normal deluxe case included...I listed a price with shipping included to the 48 states.
when payment was sent to my pay pal, then and only then discovered buyer lived in Canada. Needless to say - that's not the 48 states!
I immediately refunded the money and politely explained due to higher shipping cost I can not eat the cost of shipping for these barrels.
no real need for further details, but above PM is bull do do! I returned the guys money. and was rather nice about it.
I read his above PM again for a good laugh! That PM sounds so hooky and scripted! "I live in Canada so i'm not sure if you're willing to ship over here" <<cracks me up
I just did NOT feel like taking a hit on shipping charges to Canada AGAIN!
NOW IF I KNEW AHEAD OF TIME the buyer lived in Canada I would of declined the offer before payment was sent, or discuss a reasonable increase in shipping charges.

If a decrease in border crossings is the metric upon which Obama's response to this summer's immigration crisis is judged, he has succeeded. But his is a hollow victory, particularly since it came at the cost of imperiling the lives of refugees the United States is bound to protect.
It was hoped that Pope Francis would revive the Catholic Church in Latin America, but it is increasingly clear that his relationship with the region runs both ways. Even as he has tried to buoy the church there, his experiences in Latin America have helped transform the Roman Catholic Church as a whole, particularly when it comes to economic and social justice and support for gay rights.
A deadly 2010 outbreak of cholera in Haiti was quickly traced to a UN camp, but the UN has been slow to take responsibility. In response, Haitian lawyers and advocates have decided to sue the international organization for damages. They might not win their case, but their efforts could at least leave Haiti with a better-functioning legal system.
In order to maximize the benefits and avoid the pitfalls associated with bringing vigilantes into the fold, the Mexican government should consider a few lessons from around the world.
It was hoped that the Honduran elections on November 24 would offer a way out of the political and economic decline that followed the 2009 military coup that ousted President Manuel Zelaya. Although not impossible, that outcome seems increasingly remote.
Cuba has entered a new era of economic reform that defies easy comparison to post-Communist transitions elsewhere. Washington should take the initiative and establish a new diplomatic and economic modus vivendi with Havana.
Even as Colombian troops fight FARC rebels in the jungle, the two sides are busy negotiating a peace deal. Land reform could pave the way to a lasting settlement and drive down the country's inequality in the process.
In a recent article, R.M. Schneiderman suggested that U.S. pro-democracy programs were responsible for prolonging the sentence of Alan Gross, an American currently being held in a Cuban prison. But given the Cuban regime's history of biting any hand extended in friendship, now is not the time to cancel the programs or to make any other concessions.
On the campaign trail in 2008, Obama often said that he wanted a new beginning with Cuba. Yet with the president set to begin his second term, the relationship between the two countries remains largely unchanged. The single biggest reason for the status quo, according to the White House, is the dispute about Alan Gross, a U.S. citizen serving out 15-year prison sentence in Havana.
Halting Iran's progress toward a bomb will require the United States to make credible promises and credible threats simultaneously -- an exceedingly difficult trick to pull off. For coercive diplomacy to work, Washington may need to put more of its cards on the table.

Tee Times:
http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/se...1_a0&eref=sihpTiger Woods and Rory McIlroy bumped into each other on the putting green earlier this week, two alpha dogs sharing space at Augusta National Golf Club.
They had a private conversation in front of a gallery of hundreds, each golfer standing with his shoulders back and his chest high, each possessing the unmistakable air of a winner.
Woods turned to walk away first, the elder signaling to the younger that their chat was over and it was time to return to work. McIlroy lingered for a moment and then dutifully followed suit.
It was a brief encounter in what many believe could be a decade of jousting in major championships -- a decade that could begin during this year's Masters.
"He has all of the makings of being a great champion for a long period of time," Woods said of McIlroy. "He's very feisty."
After three months of delicious prologue, the most anticipated Masters in recent memory is nigh, with the potential for a collision of leading men on golf's grandest stage.
From the craggy shoreline of the West Coast to the swaying palms of Florida, the 2012 season has been steadily building to a crescendo in Augusta. Phil Mickelson threw the first salvo of the year, besting Woods by 11 shots in the final round of his win at Pebble Beach in February. McIlroy entered the fray at the Honda Classic in March, holding off Woods to briefly seize the No. 1 ranking.
Then two weeks ago, at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Woods awoke from a 30-month slumber to win by five shots at Bay Hill, an ideal appetizer before his 18th appearance at the Masters.
Luke Donald won in Tampa, Justin Rose in Miami, Hunter Mahan in Tucson and Houston. So many big names playing at a high level at the same time, so many believing they can win the Masters.
"Obviously, [Woods and McIlroy] garner the most attention right now, [but] I think it's a little naïve to say that they are the only two that have a chance to win around here," said Donald, the current No. 1 player in the world. "Just in the last three or four years of majors, I don't think there's been a multiple winner. There's a chance for a lot of people to win this week."
Said Lee Westwood: "You could probably pick out 30 guys. Rory has never won here. Tiger's not won here since 2005. I think Phil might have a little bit of something to say about that. Luke might. I might."
Not since Woods's chase for a fourth consecutive major at the 2001 Masters has the energy around Augusta National been so charged, with loud roars echoing through the pines during practice rounds.
Even the Masters fledglings believe they can fight their way into the mix, their lack of tournament rounds at Augusta National notwithstanding.
Scott Stallings, who earned his Masters badge by winning last year's Greenbrier Classic, played his 16th practice round at the course Tuesday. (His first one was on Dec. 10.) Every time out he says he picks up a nuance from the course, the way a green breaks or a fairway runs. Each time he feels more comfortable.
"My game sets up good [here]," Stallings said. "I hit it far and fairly straight. We all know what we have to do. It all comes down to doing it."
Webb Simpson, also playing in his first Masters, has gleaned course tidbits from his veteran caddie, Paul Tesori, and tried to narrow the knowledge gap between himself and players like Mickelson and Woods.
"This is [Tesori's] 11th Masters, and he told me he's seen the course in all types of conditions," Simpson said. "You need to know where you can miss shots here. There are certain holes where you cannot get it up and down, and you just have to know where you can chip the ball close and hopefully get up and down for pars."
Mickelson speculated that the showers that have peppered Augusta National could leave the course more vulnerable to low scores, and that Masters newbies would have less fear of a softened course. That may be the case, and the Masters does occasionally turn out a surprise winner, but the 2012 version of the year's first major tournament seems headed for something memorable and perhaps historic.
Too many top players are peaking. Too many know what's at stake. Mickelson, who will be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame next month, can tie Woods and Arnold Palmer with four green jackets. Woods can nab his fifth green jacket and 15th major, closing the gap on Jack Nicklaus's record six Masters victories and 18 major championships. McIlroy can add a second major and obliterate the memories of last year's Sunday meltdown at Augusta National.
"This is the week we look forward to the most," Mickelson said.
http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/hi...1_a3&eref=sihpWith his game and his words, Tiger Woods shows this is his Masters to lose
He's back.
Here it comes, the opposite of going out on a limb: Tiger Woods is the most likely winner of this week's Masters. When I say he's back, I don't mean that I guarantee he's going to win his fifth Masters this week. Four lipped-out putts -- or a Phil Mickelson onslaught -- could change that in a heartbeat. But I've seen enough from Tiger in the last six months, and heard enough on Tuesday, to be convinced.
Assuming he stays healthy, Tiger is going to win more tournaments and more major championships and yes, at least one more Masters. It will happen sooner or later. Forced to wager, I'd take sooner and give the points.
There are only two things you really need to study to understand where Tiger's game is right this minute, two days before he tees it up with Miguel Angel Jimenez and Sang-Moon Bae: the way he played in his blowout win at Bay Hill two weeks ago, and what he said at Augusta National on Tuesday.
Woods didn't muster even a hint of a satisfied smile when he told a roomful of the world's golfing media that he has more shots now than he did in 2000, his greatest year of golf. For overall consistency, Woods added, he's hitting it as well now as he did then. He said it so matter-of-factly that it should be scary to his competition. He doesn't think he's ready to win the Masters this week, he knows it.
"I'm driving the ball much better than I have," he said. "I've got some heat behind it, and it's very straight. My iron game is improving... As far as controlling the ball, yeah, I feel like I'm hitting the ball just as consistently day-in and day-out as I did then."
Then, you may recall, included four major championships in a row, a feat so singular that it earned its own name -- the Tiger Slam.
Sometimes things are almost too obvious, like Kentucky winning the NCAA basketball championship. The Wildcats were the best team, by far, and the question shouldn't have been, Could Kentucky beat an NBA team? It should have been, Could Kansas beat an NBA team? That's what they were facing in the championship game. It used to be the same on the PGA Tour. There was Tiger, and everyone else.
This has the feel of a milestone Masters. Mickelson has revived his putting and looks once again like a guy who can win anywhere, anytime. Luke Donald won the Transitions and has regained the No. 1 ranking. Lee Westwood has never been fitter and looks as if he's gone all-in this year in his drive to win a major. Hunter Mahan is reaching his potential. Young stars like Kyle Stanley, who hits it a mile and has Vijay Singh's lunch-pail work ethic, are making a name for themselves.
But most of all, there's Rory McIlroy. The world's golf writers have fallen hard for Rory. He's friendly and charming and open and pleasant -- all the things Tiger has never been. Last year Rory had his memorable Masters meltdown followed by a rising-from-adversity romp at the U.S. Open. The media saw it as a changing-of-the-guard moment, what with Tiger's game and body apparently in tatters. The media has decreed this Masters as the official start of the Rory-Tiger rivalry, but that's almost certainly wrong. Even young Rory knows this isn't about him vs. Tiger. "It's not about two or three guys; there are 80-plus players in this field," he said. "Every guy has to think about himself and play the course as best he can. That's all you can do in any tournament."
Actually, this is the same old rivalry, Tiger vs. Everyone, The Sequel. And it's only a matter of time, possibly a matter of days, before we resume Tiger vs. Jack's 18 major titles, a story we were once sure we'd write, then sure we would never write.
The signs are there. Tiger repeated his favorite new cliché here Tuesday when he talked about the state of his game and his gradual improvement being "a process." Dull stuff, as usual, from the man who doesn't like to give away anything to anyone. But it's accurate. We've seen Tiger slowly rebuild his game from the ground up. He showed signs of superior ballstriking at the Presidents Cup in November, then showed a little of his old clutch form when he won a PGA Tour-sanctioned golf outing in December that Tiger hosts and insists on counting as a W. Even if winning an 18-man outing was something of a mirage (OK, totally a mirage), it worked for Tiger's confidence, and that was enough.
There was that closing 62 at the Honda Classic that put a scare into McIlroy, and moments of contending in the Middle East and at Pebble Beach.
"I've been putting together two good rounds, eventually three and now four," Woods said Tuesday, "so I just had to keep sticking with it. You can see the numbers. I've been in contention the end of last year and most of this year. I'm just continuing the process."
This week, his swing looks better than it has since his pre-Hank Haney days, and his ballstriking at Bay Hill backed up that observation. (Tiger's quote about hitting it the best he has in years, with Sean Foley's help, was also a dig at Haney's legacy.)
Take another look at Bay Hill in the rearview mirror. Most of the field finished more than a touchdown behind Woods. Even Graeme McDowell, playing his best golf since his U.S. Open victory, couldn't keep up with him through the final nine and finished five shots back. This is how Tiger used to play, remember? At his best, he was unbeatable. Playing well, he usually won. Playing average, he still had a chance.
Take another look at the last two Masters in the rearview mirror. Tiger's game was in shambles, he had no discernible confidence or swing thoughts, and there were distractions galore, including an impertinent skywriter. Playing on guts and guile and whatever's behind the façade of Tiger Woods, he finished fourth twice. Now he's got a swing and a short game straight out of 2001 -- a golf odyssey may be on deck.
"People are quick to forget," McIlroy said. He reminded writers about Tiger's winning the 2008 U.S. Open on one good leg, and that Woods can do things that others can't. "You don't win 14 majors and 70-odd PGA Tour events for nothing, you know."
To bounce back from where Tiger has been, McIlroy said, takes time. At 22 (he'll turn 23 next month), McIlroy's time is coming.
Starting this week, it may well be Tiger's time once more. Whatever happens, it'll be a Masters to remember.
made a three-way bet with my brother and dad. I took Luke Donald, bro took Rory, and dad took Tiger. Should be interesting
http://espn.go.com/golf/masters12/st...ad-botching-18On a day when he was clearly off his recent form, Tiger Woods emerged from the first round of the Masters fortunate to still be in touch with the leaders.
Saying he had a poor warm-up session prior to the year's first major championship, Woods bogeyed the last two holes at Augusta National Golf Club to shoot even-par 72.
Five times Woods missed fairways to the left with badly hooked shots off the tee, including the first, second and 18th holes. He was four shots behind leader Louis Oosthuizen.
"Today I squeezed a lot out of that round," Woods said. "Didn't hit it very good at all. Warmed up bad, too, and it continued on the golf course. I just felt my way around today. I really grinded, stayed very present. And you know, I know how to play this golf course. I think it's just understanding what I need to do."
Woods headed to the driving range immediately after briefly discussing his round with reporters.
Scotland's Paul Lawrie, Spain's Angel Miguel Jimenez -- who played with Woods -- and Italy's Francesco Molinari shot 3-under-par 69s. Sweden's Henrik Stenson got to 6 under at one point but made a record-tying 8 on the final hole to drop back.
"This golf course is playing too difficult to go super low on," Woods said. "What Henrik was doing early, that was pretty impressive. Some of these pins are really tough. No one was tearing it up."
The 14-time major champion, who has won the Masters four times, came to Augusta off his first official victory in more than two years. He won the Arnold Palmer Invitational on March 25 and figured to be a strong contender here, where he has not finished worse than sixth since his last victory in 2005.
And he still may be.
Significant rain preceding the tournament left Augusta National soft but playing long, and officials appeared to set up the course more difficult to combat it. While there are many scores under par, there are not a lot of low ones.
Woods hit just six of 14 fairways and 12 of 18 greens and was 0 for 3 from the sand. But he needed just 29 putts.
He got off to a poor start, snap hooking his drives on both the first and second holes, the tee shot on the second hole requiring him to take an unplayable lie. But Woods scrambled to make par at both holes, then finally found a fairway and green at the third and made his first birdie.
His only front-nine bogey came at the seventh when his ball collected mud and his second shot landed in a front bunker. Woods then followed with birdies at the eighth and 10th holes but was unable to make birdies at either of the back-nine par-5s.
Woods found the back bunker at the par-5 13th and then blasted long, then hit a poor drive left at the 15th, meaning he had to lay up. A poor drive led to another bogey at the 17th when he failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker, and then another bad drive at the 18th caused him to take another unplayable lie and a penalty stroke.
Absolutely," he said. "I didn't warm up well. I hit a few loose ones, but I said just stay committed. Whatever happens, just stay committed on each and every shot. I did that. I really stayed committed to what I was doing.
"I made some bad swings. That's fine. My commitment to each and every shot, what I was doing, my alignment, my setup, everything was something that I'm excited about and I can take some positives going into tomorrow about that. Granted, it might be late tomorrow, but at least I have something to build on."
Woods was referencing his late tee time and the fact that a poor weather forecast could cause problems on Friday.
Only once in 18 Masters has Woods broke 70 in the first round. That came two years ago, when he was returning after a five-month layoff, and shot 68. Woods has broken 70 during the first round of a major on 14 occasions, and seven times went on to win.
"He's been No. 1 before and now he's not there but his game is there," Jimenez said. "And he's only 36, and he's on top of the wave. It's his passion. He's a great player. It was always nice to play with him before and it's nice to play with him now.
"I think he's playing very, very well. The only thing is from the tee on this golf course, you are not in the right place from the tee, you have nothing to do here. And he's managed to make -- he finished level par, he finished bogey, bogey, and as I say, he's playing very well."
Phil really stepped on his dick today.
I'd like to see Westwood finally win his first major
I can't believe he hasn't at this point. The way he's playing, he's my favorite to win.

CenterPoint Activity Draws Major Attention
By Pete Najarian, co-founder of OptionMonster
NEW YORK -- It was hard to take my eyes off CenterPoint Energy (CNP) on Tuesday.
The public-utility holding company is engaged in the transmission and distribution of electricity, serving approximately 2 million metered customers in Texas. The company beat on earnings and upped its guidance earlier this month. Its key growth drivers include stable regulated operations, higher rates, ongoing infrastructure development projects and a strong balance sheet.
The options started lighting up around the noon hour Tuesday as I left the "Fast Money Half Time" show on CNBC. The November 20 calls traded in a hurry, with more than 5,000 hitting for $1.05 and $1.10 in just four minutes. A few of the February of 2013 calls traded as well.Those options lock in the price investors must pay to buy shares, which gives them nice leverage in the event of a rally. But if CenterPoint doesn't move the calls will lose value over time. If it drops, they could become worthless. CenterPoint rose 0.68% to $20.60 Tuesday, and is bouncing at its 100-day moving average. More than 7,000 calls traded vs. just 50 puts. Total volume was about 14 times normal levels. Najarian has no positions in CNP.

Facebook analytics provider AgoraPulse launched a tool that allows page administrators to add sweepstakes, quizzes, and photo contests to the Timelines on their pages.
Facebook Marketing
Highlights And Lowlights Of Facebook's New Pages
Facebook announced a redesigned layout for its pages for desktop Monday, and page administrators are receiving wait-list invites, but the new look has already been rolled out to some pages, and the feedback is both positive and negative.
Why Reach Is The Best Facebook Metric To Focus On
Emeric Ernoult, co-founder of AgoraPulse, will speak Wednesday at the AllFacebook Marketing Conference in San Francisco. He will lead the discussion, "Facebook Statistics 101: How to Uncover the Hidden Gems within Facebook Insight."
Do you run a Facebook page? Are you constantly looking at your page metrics trying to figure out which ones really mean success or failure? The problem is that Facebook insights are made of a bazillion different metrics, and very few of them ring the bell to the savvy Web marketers we are. Stop looking for the ultimate, easy-to-understand, and meaningful Facebook metric: You already have it right here. It is reach.
7 Reasons I'm Thrilled About The AllFacebook Marketing Conference
Each year, Mediabistro hosts the AllFacebook Marketing Conference, which provides the world a deep look into Facebook innovations and issues impacting both social media and digital marketing. This year, it will take place at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square June 5. The event is filled with top-notch speakers and provides innovative information that will help you and your organization succeed in Facebook marketing. I attended last year, and I am very excited for this year's conference. Below are seven reasons why you should book your ticket now to attend the AllFacebook Marketing Conference, while you still can — it's not too late! I'll be attending along with Firebelly Vice President and lead of our Dallas office Misty Sanford.
AgoraPulse Offers Mobile Support For Facebook Campaigns
AgoraPulse, which provides Facebook page analytics, now offers marketers the ability to tailor mobile-only campaigns. With AgoraPulse's mobile technology, brands can offer optimized experiences to those who access contests or promotions from desktops or smartphones.
AgoraPulse's Barometer Gives Facebook Pages A Measuring Stick
There are several ways to track Facebook pages' performance, but AgoraPulse is working on a way for page administrators to compare their stats to those of similar pages. The company recently launched Barometer, allowing those who manage Facebook pages to see their rates of engagement and reach, as well as how they stack up against pages of similar size.
Should Facebook Move Forward With Autoplay Video Ads?
On Tuesday, a report detailed that Facebook is planning to implement 15-second video advertisements that automatically play — an effort to grab television ad dollars. The reaction around the Internet was swift and negative, criticizing the social network for being too invasive by making the ads play instantly, forcing users to push pause or stop. But how effective are video ads in the first place?
Facebook Marketing: Beyond The Like
Repeat after us: Facebook marketing is about more than just likes. Motivity Marketing CEO Kevin Ryan, AgoraPulse Founder and CEO Emeric Ernoult, and AdParlor CEO Hussein Fazal offered specific examples of campaigns that worked for their specific firms in a panel at the AllFacebook Marketing Conference in New York Tuesday, "Facebook Ads: Can They Promote More Than Just Likes?," moderated by Fang Digital Marketing CEO Jeff Ferguson.
6 Ways To Make Your Facebook Page Stand Out
Facebook page managers are constantly looking for help, asking what to post and when. Luckily, a speaker at the AllFacebook Marketing Conference in New York has the answers. Emeric Ernoult, the CEO and founder of AgoraPulse, laid down six simple tips for page admins who want to find success on the social network.
AgoraPulse Now Allows Facebook Page Admins To Track Deeper
There has been much discussion within the Facebook marketing world about what to post to Facebook pages and when. New features recently released by AgoraPulse, which provides cost-effective Facebook solutions to businesses, allow page administrators to see what types of posts are most popular, when they're most popular, and what kinds of posts users are hiding or marking as spam.

More about the presenter:
Pascal Akimana is a human rights activist with over ten years of experience specializing in the fields of gender justice and equality, peace and reconciliation, and HIV/AIDS prevention. Pascal's personal and professional experiences have made him a leader in the field of gender-based violence prevention, and an expert at approaching violence prevention in conflict and post-conflict settings.
Born in Burundi, Pascal witnessed widespread gender-based and sexual violence in his community. Following the outbreak of civil war in Burundi, Pascal spent many years off and on in exile as a refugee, where he witnessed horrific violent attacks, particularly against women and girls. In 2001, unable to be a bystander to the violence, he began his human rights work in refugee camps, where he counseled perpetrators and victims of gender-based and sexual violence.
From 2002-2004, Pascal worked as a youth counselor in Kenya and South Africa, training and educating homeless youth on violence and HIV/AIDS prevention, and assisting them in finding jobs, education, and housing. From 2005-2008, Pascal worked as Senior Program Assistant and Assistant Project Manager for EngenderHealth in South Africa, where he played a leading role in implementing the Men As Partners program, and coordinated numerous successful campaigns against gender-based and sexual violence and HIV/AIDS. In 2009, Pascal served as the GBV Capacity Building Officer (Male Involvement Program) for the International Rescue Committee in Côte d'Ivoire, where he supervised all GBV fieldwork, and oversaw all sub-grantee programs operated by local organizations.
Pascal has also worked as a consultant to numerous organizations throughout Africa on issues of gender, peace and reconciliation, and HIV/AIDS prevention, including to the Amercian Refugee Committee International, the International Red Crescent and Red Cross, and the South African AIDS Trust, School Without Walls. In 2006, he worked for Sonke Gender Justice and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) in refugee camps in South Africa and Kenya, where he was responsible for the initial rollout of the world renowned One Man Can campaign, and additionally worked in Uganda with former child-soldiers, facilitating their acceptance back into the community.
Pascal's personal story and professional work have been the subject of numerous web, print, and radio interviews and articles, and he is a frequent local and international speaker on GBV, HIV/AIDS, and peace building and reconciliation

What's the Matter with Augusta, Kansas?
Andy Borowitz got it right. Kent Bush, columnist at the Augusta Gazette somehow manages to blame satire for his own shortcoming. Claims he's happy he's wrong but doesn't admit what exactly he was wrong about.
Bush writes:
Joe DeSantis called me from Washington D.C. Wednesday morning and was obviously less than pleased with my inclusion of the fake quotes in my column.
I sent him the additional links where the story was indeed "going viral" and appearing on news sites and in news reports across the web and other formats.

Church of God General Overseer Mark L. Williams opened the Tennessee House of Representatives in prayer last Thursday morning on the 60th Legislative Day of the 108th Tennessee General Assembly.
Williams, who was named "Minister of the Day," was introduced by state Rep. Kevin Brooks who serves in the Communications Department of the Church of God International Offices. Brooks represents the 24th Legislative District and was first elected in 2006. He also serves as assistant majority leader in the House.
Williams was accompanied by his wife, Sandra Kay, who serves the Church of God as international president of women's discipleship for the Church of God.
"It is a true high honor to be here in this hallowed place to invoke God's blessings," Williams told the gathering of state representatives and guests before he prayed the invocation. Brooks then led the House in the pledge of allegiance.
Later that morning, Dr. and Mrs. Williams met privately with Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam in the governor's office where Williams shared a brief history of the Church of God in Tennessee and the two exchanged views on leadership development.
The governor thanked the general overseer for his, "leadership in the faith environment." Williams closed the gathering with a prayer for the governor as he leads the state of Tennessee.
The 76th Church of God International General Assembly will be held at the Music City Center in Nashville in the summer of 2016.

European and Italian winners
A belated update here about our first two completed competitions. We're now half way through our first year of the International Chocolate Awards, with successful competitions already held in London for the European World Semi-final, and in Florence for the Italian National Competition.
The Italians were the first country to get their own competition in the Awards, and as such were not able to enter the European Semi-final. Their winners though go straight through to the World Final in London in October. You can find a full list of the Italian winners here.
Plain and origin chocolate bars were a reserved category and all entries for these, including Italian, were judged in London. Recognising the best origin chocolate is central to the philosophy of the Awards, so it was important that these are judged side-by-side as much as possible.
You can find a full list of the European winners here, including the best European, Italian, French, Swiss, Organic and Directly Traded Gold winners.
Thanks to all those who have worked so hard this year to make the awards happen, next we're on to New York for the Americas Semi-final and Vancouver for the Canadian National Competition.

Kate Middleton Is Our Headline Maker Of The Year
We love pop culture, too.
Two weeks ago, some of the Celebuzz staff told you who our favorite headline-making celebrities are. We asked you to vote for your favorite and told you that the celeb who received the most votes would become a kind of mascot for the site, our Headline Maker of the Year.
We are happy to announce that the one and only Kate Middleton received the most votes and has become our official Headline-Maker.
Kelly Lynch, our Editor-in-Chief, had this to say about Her Royal Highness:
From the moment she and Prince William announced their engagement on November 16th, 2010, the Duchess of Cambridge has taken to her role as a royal like a fish to water. She is and will most likely remain an icon in every sense of the word, from her personal style to her way with the public.Thank you to everyone who voted! It was a royal pleasure.

« Future and Pusha T Perform 'Move That Dope' on 'Tonight Show'
Ciara Flaunts Pregnant Belly for W Magazine »
Beyoncé, Pharrell, and Miley Cyrus Among TIME 100 Most Influential People in the World
Who runs the world? According to TIME, it's Beyoncé. The singer is among the magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World.
Following her husband Jay Z last year, the 32-year-old poses for one of the black-and-white covers of the iconic magazine, shot by Paola Kudacki.
Sheryl Sandberg praised Beyoncé for being a boss and role model to other women. "She raises her voice both on- and offstage to urge women to be independent and lead," wrote the COO of Facebook.
Bey looks to her own mother and daughter Blue Ivy as influential figures in her life. "I feel like my mother and my daughter have been probably the most influential, and becoming a mother, looking at my daughter in her eyes, made me into a woman and made me very, very strong," she said.
She was humbled to be included on the list. "Shooting for TIME magazine was eventually one of the goals in my life," she revealed. "It's something important for me as an artist because it's not about fashion or beauty or music. It's about the influence I've had on culture and to be amongst the other influential people is a huge honor for me."
Beyoncé joins an illustrious list that includes President Obama, Pope Francis, Serena Williams, Kerry Washington, Miley Cyrus, and Pharrell Williams.
Justin Timberlake penned a flattering letter about the "Happy" hitmaker. "He made me fearless, and I've carried that with me the rest of my life," said the pop superstar. "He injects that vibrant energy into the music in a way that you can feel."
A proud Dolly Parton showered praise on her goddaughter Miley Cyrus, writing, "She made her point, she made her mark, and more power to her."

There's no throw-down-the-fake-flakes-and-start-filming for director Jon Favreau. No, he had to make shooting ''Elf'' complicated. ''I wanted the North Pole to feel nostalgic and small, like the Christmas movies we grew up with,'' says Favreau, whose aim was to re-create the look of old Rankin/Bass TV specials like ''Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.'' ''But we had to learn these filmmaking techniques all over again because nobody still does them.'' To have star Will Ferrell tower over the elfin world, Favreau and production designer Rusty Smith spent hours rearranging tiny artificial trees and constructing houses to two-thirds scale so that the forced perspective would be believable. ''I'd build a house, take a look at it, take a picture of people in front of it, then go back and say 'No, it has to be 10 percent smaller,''' says Smith. Even the snow was a challenge. The standard biodegradable paper flakes threw off too much dust, distorting the images on film. So Smith invented his own recipe of paper flakes and white glue, mixed like cement and applied in layers. It took two days to dry, but the homemade crud did have one benefit: ''It was kind of crunchy,'' says Smith, ''like real snow.''
Smith made the crew wear blue snow booties when walking around the fake-snow set. ''Keeping it white was one of the most difficult things.''
The production designer spent days painting and repainting the softly psychedelic sky to look less busy.
As fanciful as ''Elf'' is, the film does have visual authenticity. Smith researched Nordic architecture and found examples of post-and-beam houses, whitewashed on the inside ''with little blue flowers.'' He ran with the theme. ''When the decorator started bringing in furniture, I said, 'We're painting it all white...except the toys.' We wanted the toys to jump out.'' As did the costumes, inspired by old Coca-Cola ads and the book ''Gnomes.'' Director Favreau also kept it old-school. ''We wanted to make sure that the shop was very low-tech,'' he says. ''There are a lot of mallets and screwdrivers

Venting- again. :(

I should probably write in a journal or something and spare you all, but it makes me feel better to let it out to a group who understands. I feel so alone in this sometimes. :(
Basically, I have posted about this before, but it's really hard for me emotionally to deal with the lack of communication when he's gone. It just makes me so sad. I have been trying my darndest to cope with it, but it's hard. Recently, we went a MONTH without talking on the phone bc they were redoing their internet. Now, I know I'm lucky that I would still hear from him (sporadic emails, but usually at least once a day), but it's not the same as a conversation. No IM, no phone, just email. I found myself sleeping with my computer, getting up at odd hours when it was more likely I could catch him, so at least we could have an email exchange of a few before he would disappear. He didn't know when it would be back up, so I'd check every morning (we'd been in a routine before they had no internet, and he would stay up to talk to me after work and before I went in- I'd wake up a little early so I could get ready in time). For weeks this went on...and it was really just disappointing not to see him on. Finally, he got internet back. Yay, we can resume our talks, right? Not so fast...it's now gotten hotter, he's working hard, sweating all day, surrounded by flies and bugs and just drained by the time he gets off. They also decided to adjust their hours bc of the heat (something about running the AC)- so now it's unlikely I would be able to talk to him in the morning, at least during the week bc I have to drive to work. But ok, we can still try in the afternoon, he has to wake up early and I have to come home early- sometimes doable, but things I can't control (staff meetings, conferences, after school events, etc.) mean I can't always do that...
Long story short, we haven't been able to resume our schedule. While I understand his limitations, I am so sick of this deployment, missing the emotional support, tired of the constant rain around here, sick of us snapping at each other from the stress...just done with it. We finally had one nice convo on Thursday, and it was SO good to hear his voice. I sent him a few nice emails after that...and didn't hear from him for 36 hrs. I KNOW he can't help it, and he apologized when he finally got on, but I can not handle the constant disappointment right now. I'm just at my limit. I don't want to be tied to my computer, checking all the time. So, I decided I have to stop. I will write and then I will turn it off (MOST of the time, he won't be able to write anyway). The next time I am up to it (which may be the next day- I'll turn it on). If he REALLY wants to reach me or set up a time to IM/call, he can text to my phone. He KNOWS he can reach me there, so it's not like I'm cutting him off, it's really just for me. Bc seriously, sleeping with the computer and checking it all the time was making me nuts. Waking up every morning to check if he'd be on like in the old days...trying not to feel disappointed when I know he was on (sent me a quick email), but didn't stay up to chat like he used to. I KNOW he's tired and I get it, I do. But I just feel so sad about it and it gets hard to suck it up and be sunshiny. He has said that he really needs me to be positive and supportive...and I WANT to...but I find it hard to fake it and it's just easier for me to not say anything at all. So, then when

Being supportive and positive does not equal being a pushover. Obviously, your needs are not being met, and while it may be impossible for them to be met in full at this time, my advice is to simply tell him the minimum you need that he CAN provide. You said a lot when you said "I

HELENA - High schoolers from across Montana are in Helena learning what it's like to work in law enforcement as part of the Junior Police Academy.
One of them is Joe Harris, now in his second year as a junior police cadet; Joe said, "I think it's just good to help the community. That's what I want to do."
Joe was elected by his peers to be this year's Chief, and on Tuesday, he and his squad got to experience police work from behind the wheel.
Dave Jeseritz, the assistant chief of the Helena Police Department, explained, "Today we're giving them a glimpse of police life. One of which is the driving aspect. Officers do a lot of driving, they have to be trained to do this. So we're out here in a safe environment showing the kids how to do traffic stops, how to back up safely and maneuver around cones, and just how vehicles handle under different situations."
Joe noted, "The one thing the sergeant has taught us so far is that action is faster than reaction, and we need to be able to multitask and do many different things at once. But I'm up to the task, I like doing that kind of stuff."
Jeseritz said, "Obviously we hope they don't go back and start driving like we're showing them, these techniques are for law enforcement, but it should overall improve their normal driving day-to-day because they should be more aware of their surroundings, not distracted with iPhones and different devices like that, but actually paying attention to the road."

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) - A 14-year-old girl was behind the wheel of an SUV that plunged into a South Texas port basin, killing her mother, three siblings and a man, authorities say.
The girl, who has not been yet identified by authorities, was the sole survivor of the accident and was released from a Brownsville hospital shortly after being rescued from the water Thursday.
Investigators are trying to determine what caused the girl to drive the SUV off a dockyard into the water of the basin at the Port of Brownsville, but Lucio says no foul play is suspected.
The accident happened in an area of the port known as Shrimp Basin, where shrimping boats dock.
Port of Brownsville police Chief Carlos Garcia said the girl told him that her mother and siblings were in the car. "It was just the basic information. She was in shock when I talked to her," Garcia said.
Divers worked Thursday afternoon to recover the SUV, a Mercury Mountaineer. The vehicle had to be hoisted up from the water with cranes.
Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio identified those killed in the accident as 29-year-old Juana Edith Alvarez; her children, 10-year-old Jesse Lee Alvarez, 7-year-old Emily R. Espino and 4-year-old Joe Alvarez; and 56-year-old shrimp boat captain Juan Pablo Morales. Lucio said apparently the family was on its way to drop off Morales at his work in a shrimping boat.

Amazing Grace is one of the most beautiful and uplifting songs in the western world.
Here is my favorite recorded version, Judy Collins singing Amazing Grace a capella (without accompaniment):
The man who penned the words, John Newton, had been an Atlantic Sea slave trader, and knew that he was indeed the worst of wretches!
Download free printable tablature for Amazing Grace in the key of C
Every guitarist should learn to play this beautiful hymn. I have it here in two keys friendly to the beginning guitar player who doesn't use a capo.
The timing of the notation may look kind of funny; that's because I always double the note values for my beginners in order to avoid eighth notes. There's enough going on with learning guitar that I don't want timing to be an issue -- although this is a well-known tune, a lot of kids have not heard it.
A recent book and movie, "Amazing Grace", tells the almost unknown story of how one Englishman, William Wilberforce, forced Parliament and the whole British nation to really SEE the horror of the slave trade. Until Wilberforce, slavery had been common at all times, in all places, and in all cultures.
Only after many years was he successful in persuading Parliament to outlaw --not slavery-- but the slave TRADE, which marked the beginning of the end for legal slavery in England, and ultimately all nations with a Christian heritage.
Free printable guitar music in the key of G
Christian heritage? Yes -- for the sacred texts of the Christian faith claim that there is inherent equality of all souls before God... as Job said (Job 31:15),
"Did not He who made me in the womb make him?" ...and as Paul the apostle told the Galatians (Galatians 3:27-28),
"For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Though it is one of the most popular funeral songs, the meaning of the words "how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me," can touch all hearts in times of despair or in times of gratefulness.
With a message of God's grace freely extended to all, perhaps it is the most comforting of funeral hymns, as well as for a general worship service.
Do you have a funny story about this music, or does it remind you of something you'd like to share with other readers? Do you have a question? We'd love to hear it!

Patient Safety Needs a Rescue
Reviewing the findings of HealthLeaders Media's intelligence report, the Drive to Patient Safety one gets the sense that top health executives definitely want to steer in the right direction in terms of patient safety. But they also need to get in a faster lane.
Indeed, the survey shows that putting patient safety is among their top priorities, with 91% of the respondents saying it is a key concern. It is an area that health systems seek to be accountable for, says Bertine McKenna, COO of the Bassett Healthcare Network, in Cooperstown, NY, who reviewed the findings.
"That's definitely good news and shows a significant step in the right direction for many healthcare leaders," McKenna says.
Intelligence Report: The Drive to Patient Safety: Free Download.
But there are legitimate concerns over the health leaders' responses about communication and leadership structures tied to formulating patient safety plans. Those don't look good. They are issues that can significantly slow down the patient safety process.
Healthleaders acknowledged in the survey that communication is a potential stumbling block for improved patient safety initiatives as well as an area of risk to patient safety during transition of care.
About 49% of respondents said communication issues were among their strongest concerns. Moreover, an alarming 56% of survey respondents said that important patient information "sometimes" is lost during shift changes. Another 12% said it "often happens," while 27% said it is a "rare occurrence"
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Phyllis Kritek, RN, PhD (5/27/2011 at 9:48 AM)
Since the late 80s we have had a steadily expanding data set that documents patient safety is shaped by our ability as health care providers to collaborate. It has seemed to me that we have elected to use the euphemism of "communication" to avoid the evidence that our failure to collaborate and our tendency to avoid or deny conflict is jeopardizing patient safety. We have elected to tinker with what I call the "low hanging fruit" of patient safety in an effort to skirt the elephant in the room: we sustain our dysfunctional relationships in spite of the evidence that they harm patients. I would observe that recommending that we "stop blaming poor communication and leadership structures and get to work laying out a strategy to secure patient safety" is a continuation of this same avoidance pattern in what has now become a meme in health care. If poor communication and leadership structures are putting our patients at risk, wouldn't the obvious recommendation be that we honestly confront our communication patterns and our problematic leadership structures and FIX THEM? Isn't that the work we need to do and the strategy we have not yet crafted.

Today I finally got Sensible Soccer 2006 for the XBox. My first game was between Germany and UAE and it was a 0:0. Next one ended 1:1 and my first goal was scored by a Klinsa. Not bad, I like it, now I have to read the manual

FTP client finally works
Cause Christos explained me the use of GlueStiK, I got finally Litchi to run on MF. Next will be to install it on Frog as well.
Litchi is a ftp client done by Rajah Lone. GlueStiK is a bridge that enables MintNet to be StiK compatible.
