Reminder: Don't Buy Gift Cards From People Standing Outside Walmart
With just a few days remaining to finish your holiday shopping, you might feel compelled to buy a gift card and call it good. While that gifting idea might be suited for your needs, authorities are reminding consumers that you shouldn't purchase the cards from a stranger standing outside a retailer — or a stranger walking around anywhere shilling gift cards, for that matter.
Police: Man Faked Heart Attack At Walmart While Pal Took Off With Cart Full Of Toys
You're shopping or working at Walmart when a young man collapses in front of you, showing signs of a heart attack. What do you do? You tend to the victim, because you are a human being with a soul. However, police say when this happened in Florida, two men took advantage of the functioning souls of the people around them to steal a cart filled with toys. [More]
Court Affirms $151M Ruling Against Walmart For Making Employees Work Off The Clock
When employees claim that their employer systematically forces them to work through breaks or other times during which they aren't getting paid, how far do they have to go to prove that this is not a fluke particular to just a few stores? This is the question at the core of Walmart's most recent appeal of a 12-year-old lawsuit that could cost the company nearly $200 million. [More]
Another Layaway Angel Swoops In, Pays $50K Worth Of Bills At Pennsylvania Walmart
In a season where there can be Grinches around every corner and bah-humbuggers just waiting to get ya, it's always fun to hear about those layaway angels who go around paying off other shoppers' bills all in one fell swoop. We've landed a big one today, folks — someone's just paid off $50,000 in layaway items in Pennsylvania. [More]
GameStop CFO Says Company Will Weather Walmart, But Hints At Continued Store Closures
There are currently around 6,000 GameStop locations, meaning most people don't have to drive very far to trade in a used game. But how will the company weather the two storm fronts of increased competition from major retailers and the shift toward digital downloads of games? [More]
Layaway Angels Fan Out, Hit West Virginia And Tennessee
Layaway is a useful tool that some retailers only offer during the holiday season. Let lets consumers without access to credit pick out gifts and pay them off over time––and, as one mother pointed out to me, keeps gifts hidden at the store, far away from impatient, snooping kids. Layaway was dying out before the Great Recession, and came back with its own folk heroes: the Layaway Angels. [More]
If You Plan To Steal $10,000 From Your Job, Don't Use Your Employee Info For Transactions
Several months ago Consumerist reported on what might have been Walmart's worst employee: a worker arrested for stealing cash from a customer and food from the company's deli. While that incident was indeed bad, a Tennessee employee who allegedly stole thousands of dollars in gift cards and cash by using her employee information might just take over the title. [More]
Walmart Slashes Prices On iPhone 6 To $129, 6 Plus To $229
If you have been meaning to buy yourself or a loved one a new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus but haven't managed to get around to plunking down the cash for it, your procrastination has paid off. Walmart has cut prices on these devices to $129 and $229, respectively, for customers willing to sign up for a two-year contract with AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon. [More]
NLRB Judge Rules That Walmart Illegally Punished California Workers For Participating In Protests
In recent years, some Walmart workers have staged public protests about inadequate wages and unfair treatment. A number of these employees claim that management has retaliated against them for expressing their views. Now a court has ordered Walmart to reverse disciplinary action taken against protesting workers and put a stop to future retaliation.
Why Are Big-Box Stores Pricing Barbies Differently By Race?
Are pricing algorithms racist? That's not really possible, and several big retailers are blaming "pricing errors" for discrepancies in the prices of Barbie dolls of different ethnicities. Shoppers interested in a doll in a figure-skating costume, for example, have to pay $1.99 extra at Walmart for a doll with darker skin and black hair. How does that happen? [More]
Bank CEO Rips Walmart For Allowing ID Thieves To Spend $12K Without Anyone Noticing
How do ID thieves spend $12,000 in just a couple of hours at Walmart without anyone noticing? Quite easily, apparently. Which is why one CEO of a Texas-based bank is criticizing the nation's largest retailer. [More]
Walmart Cashier Bails Out Customer Who Can't Afford Groceries
We're going to guess that Walmart cashiers see plenty of customers in the course of a day who can't afford all of the items that they've selected and must put something back. Yet something made a cashier in upstate New York stop and reach into her pocket when an older man at her register couldn't afford to buy all of his food, contributing forty dollars of her own. [More]
Secret Santa Gifts $15K To Pay For Strangers' Walmart Layaway Items
It's that time of year again, when generous folks around the country pop in to their local retailers and plunk down a pile of cash to make strangers' holidays happier by paying for their layaway purchases. This time, some secret Santa in Ohio left a substantial $15,000 gift under shoppers' trees. [More]
Have you placed an online order from a store while you were standing in one of their brick-and-mortar locations? In an interview with CNBC (Warning: auto-play video), Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said that the company's analysis shows something interesting about how customers shop using their smartphones. 10% of orders placed on mobile phones are actually placed while customers are standing inside the store. Is it because the items they really want are out of stock? Are online prices lower? McMillon doesn't say. [CNBC]
Walmart Shopper Thinks No One Will Notice 6.5 Pounds Of Cow Tongue Shoved In His Pants
We understand that the very act of wearing pants is kind of like adorning your legs in potential pockets — as long as nothing falls out the bottom, you've got fabric fit for carrying stuff. But just because you've got room in your pants to spare doesn't mean it's okay to shove stolen meat (or seafood) down there, as yet another bad consumer has shown us this week. [More]
Walmart Still Avoiding Paying $7000 Fine For Worker Killed By Black Friday Shoppers In 2008
In 2008, a Walmart employee was killed when a mob of deal-desperate Black Friday shoppers tore the store's doors from their hinges and stormed inside, trampling him to death. The chain was eventually fined $7000 for their role in the employee's death — but six years and $2 million later, the world's largest retailer has yet to pay up. [More]
Walmart Workers Chain Massive Food Donation Bin Outside Home Of Alice Walton
Just days after another Walmart launched the holiday giving season by placing a food donation bin for employees to help out their co-workers in need, some workers have placed a much larger bin outside the home of someone who makes a little bit more than $10/hour from the nation's largest retailer — Alice Walton. [More]
Walmart Stores Once Again Asking Employees To Donate Food To Co-Workers In Need
Almost exactly a year ago, a Walmart in Ohio made headlines for an employee food drive intended to help support their fellow Walmart workers. Now come reports of additional stores rolling out the donation bins, showing that the retailers employees try to take care of one another while also spotlighting the question of whether or not Walmart is paying its associates sufficient wages.

I like a good cover song so I'm really enjoying this cover of Bon Iver's Skinny Love by Birdy, not to be confused with Little Birdy.
Here's the original. For kicks.
And a live version.

Wow. What a semester. Luckily I've only got to do this three more times…
Sadly, my "break" is shaping up to be almost busier than the semester. Plenty of deadlines to meet. PR work to do. Sermons to preach. Coffee to roast (and make). Cafes to check out.
Hopefully we'll get away somewhere for some days so if there are a few days of radio silence maintained here – that's why.
In the meantime, I've got a backlog of things to post here that will hopefully keep you amused. No doubt I'll find some semi-serious things to write about… In the mean time, here's a cute photo of my baby girl – who is now just shy of half a year old.
I'm looking forward to spending some time with my girls in the next couple of weeks.
I don't like boring people too much with college related stuff in these parts any more. I'd rather bore you by beating the same old drum and ranting about the ACL.
Anyway. I've been blogging my exam prep over at Venn Theology – first for Corinthians, then for Pentateuch. I'll update the College Resources page here accordingly.
I've also uploaded my essays for this semester to Scribd – you can read them at the following locations:
1. Corinthians – In which I suggest that Paul's view of preaching was heavily influenced by Cicero, a relatively novel argument.
2. Old Testament – In which I suggest that Biblical Theology is the key to understanding the odd mish mash of law and narrative in the Old Testament.
3. Church History – In which I suggest that though some suggest an almost bipolar understanding of Luther where a switch in his head flicks in 1525, he was consistently applying the same theology and ministry practice to changing circumstances throughout his life. And I get a little excited about Reformation propaganda.
I like to think that as I write these essays my implied reader is you, dear reader. So feel free to read these, or ignore them. I can't promise that they're entertaining, but putting them online fulfils my desire to be completely open and transparent about what I'm thinking – because full disclosure is the best PR policy – and hopefully means they serve some purpose other than just being lost on a hard drive somewhere like my essays from my first degree were.
They also all have pretty extensive bibliographies that I hope will save other QTC students some time in the future.
That is all.
A long time ago, in a virtual galaxy not so far from me, people used to comment on blogs as a blogging love language. I knew that, It was blog etiquette. Somehow that world passed me by. And I miss that.
Image Credit: Apparently there's a conference called blog world. Who knew? (This guy)
I have commented much more sparingly than I used to. Others seem to have a similar blog comment malaise. I'm going to do my bit to hold up my end of the social (media) contract. And be more appreciative of the good content other people are writing that I'm thinking about.
Here are some links, rather than comments, as my first step towards rectifying this situation.
Andrew has pretty much killed Things Findo Thinks, replacing it with A Borrowed Flame. I liked this SLR camera simulator he found.
Anna at Goannatree has been writing about writing about writing. She's posting about her PhD, which is about literature. Which is pretty meta. I enjoyed this post, which came hot on the heels of this one about a week of dissertation themed life in Scotland.
Al writes nice little posts, and I like them. His posts about Tim Chester's posts about Social Media made me grumpy, not at him, at Tim Chester. So angry I commented on the first one. Also, his post about preaching at weddings is something I'm going to file away for the future.
Ali posted something last week about her near brush with a raving gunman in Sydney, and this week introduced me to The Tallest Man on Earth. She also tagged me in a book spine poetry meme which I will participate in once my books consist of something other than light reading on Corinthians and the Pentateuch.
Arthur and Tamie are getting ready to finish life in Melbourne, start life as parents, and start life in Tanzania. Their posts are fun. I liked this one.
Ben has a new theme. Which looks nice – though for some reason the first second after you load it the fonts are really effeminate, only to be replaced with the felt tip styled ones.
David posted a good little review of the 2 Ways 2 Live App, and a better post about marriage and stuff.
Izaac has been pondering preaching, I commented on two of those because I think the idea that word ministry is ONLY preaching is a bit spurious and doesn't fit with the Bible's picture of prophetic ministry, or the way Paul conceives of his teaching of the churches he cares for to include his life and sufferings.
Mikey posted about the search for black curtains, spiritually inspired cake, and excellence – following this discussion on Hans' blog. Hans has an excellent post on Christianity and homosexuality too.
Steve at Communicate Jesus also reflects on the excellence thing.
Peter Ko posted on a strange issue (I thought). Apparently there are young Christians who think it's a good idea for unmarried Christian couples to holiday together. Alone. And further, that it's a bad idea for people to be "legalistic" about the issue. This isn't legalism. This is wisdom. And thus, I became an old person.
Simone has been writing reports and musicals.
This isn't a comprehensive list of the posts I've enjoyed from the blogs that I read, but I hope that in some way it makes amends for my poor online citizenship in recent times.
UPDATE: I completely forgot this one. Which was, indeed, the motivation behind providing a list to blogs I enjoy. Dave McDonald has started a blog tracking his fight with cancer, and the thoughts that go with it. This sensational letter to Sam Harris is a fine example of what he's producing and why you should read it. Plus – it's a great way to keep him, his family, and those around him, in your prayers.
Today was fun. On the back of an incredibly busy weekend we spent the afternoon painting with Soph. This was Robyn's Mother's Day present.
Well. The painting, a photo, and a creatively paint stained white onesie. Which I'll frame or something.
We appreciate that this day is both a) very commercial, and b) hard for many people, but there's something nice about the opportunity to recognise mums.
I think one of the things that being a parent has taught me, in these four and a bit months, is the sort of emotional investment, love, and energy, my own parents made in me. So thanks mum (and dad).
I'm also incredibly in awe of Robyn's transformation. She's such a natural at being a mum. It's incredible.
I'm looking forward to watching my biggest little sister get married tomorrow.
I'm thankful that I'm the oldest child in my family because I can watch all my sisters blossom, and appreciate their gifts, with pride rather than envy.
It's a privilege to have grown up with such quality women, who became something of a yardstick for me when it came to looking for my own spouse.
Anyway. Big congrats to Jo, and to Shayne. I think the comment a status I posted asking for one word descriptions of both of them pretty much sums this up:
"Jo is incredible in every way. Shayne is a very lucky guy"
I'll be MCing the wedding. I've done a few of these now. I'm finding it harder and harder to try to be funny rather than functional. I've seen so many bad MCs and I dread being one of them.
So a while back I courted controversy by poking fun at parents who overshared on Facebook. Now, the world has turned and revolved. Time has passed. And I'm a parent. Which is great. Really it's up there as one of the equal best things that has ever happened to me.
Like all parents I believe my offspring to be the cutest and most interesting baby the world has ever known. Like most modern day parents I believe Facebook is a great medium for sharing content with interested people who live a long way away. Like my sister who lives interstate, and my sister-in-law, brother-outlaw, and nephew who live overseas. It's so easy to justify posting stuff on this basis. But that. Friends. Is a slippery slope into oversharing – about which my thoughts have not changed. But consider this a preemptive post which I will supply in the future to anybody who calls me out on the potentially perceived gap between my words in 2009, and my actions in 2012.
So here are my six rules.
1. Make it opt-in. Don't force people to consume what you're putting out there. The internet pretty much does this for you though, so I don't worry too much about that.
2. Make it interesting. People won't hate you for oversharing if they're entertained, or what you are posting is actually cute. Check with someone else. Edit. Put up less than you think you ought (I'm a little guilty of breaking this last bit). Leave people wanting more.
3. Keep it contained. Don't post a new album of photos every time you upload a photo. Post photos to the old albums. Don't clutter people's newsfeeds with an upload a day, upload a batch at once.
4. Don't be single-minded. There's more to life than your child and than your role as a parent. Talk about that stuff too. For me this means posting about coffee. Posting links to cool stuff. Posting
links to my blog(s).
5. Don't potentially embarrass the child. Remember your child isn't old enough to censor you yet. So self censor. I have good poo stories, and good spew stories. But only posted about the latter when it was me who got covered, and mostly because Robyn's response to said covering was to laugh and get the camera, rather than to clean me up.
6. Never. Ever. Give gratuitous parenting advice to anybody on the basis of how excellent your own child is, or how brilliant you think you are at parenting. Especially if you're not a parent.
So, that's really a long justification for sharing these additional photos of our incredibly cute daughter. Dressed in a koala suit that I bought online. When I ordered it a couple of months ago I was told that it was tacky and horrible. Now I think it's safe to say that the purchase was inspired.
Tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 (funnier if you pronounce it out loud and string the words together) I am visiting the dentist (who happens to be my younger sister), to have my wisdom teeth removed. Two of them. Up top.
I wasn't worried about this at all until my boss had his wisdom teeth out last week in what can only be described as a dental horror story. Now I'm feeling a little attached to these teeth and wondering whose bright idea it was to get the procedure in my one week of Easter break.
Anyway. Depending on how it goes, recovery time could be prime "improving my lagging post rate" time here and on my other blogs. This was going to be a post about why I've been posting so infrequently, but I've decided to summarise that in a picture, or two.
So tomorrow is election day. After a year of ridiculousness we finally get to put the longest and most annoying election campaign in history to bed.
This campaign involved both parties, but particularly the ALP, sinking to new lows and treating the electorate with an incredible degree of contempt. We are not stupid.
The latest in this cascading, nay, spiralling, cycle of stupidity comes in the form of Anna Bligh's early concession advertisements – which plead with voters not to punish her party too harshly on the basis that Campbell Newman will have "unfettered" power if he wins a significant majority. This is an interesting pitch. In some sense it's an improvement on the horrible ad hominem negativity Labor relied on for the first 11 months of this election campaign. If this is plan B, plan C must be terribad. This line of argument is incredibly stupid. For two reasons. Essentially, so far as "power" is concerned – there is no difference between a one seat majority, and a fifty seat majority in the Queensland parliament – especially as there is no senate. The argument also strikes me as being a little hypocritical, given that back in 2004 the Labor party had a 63-20 majority. And they weren't complaining about the damage this did to democracy then.
Anyway. As Christians, who are more than just your "tick a box on census day" Christians, there's all sorts of pressure that different people attempt to pile on to us to sway our votes. If it's not the ACL telling you where everybody stands on the "important moral issues" it's Family First telling you that their stance on all those moral issues is, to quote the musician Beck, where it's at. I listened to a panel discussion on 96.5 (a Christian radio station in Brisbane – for those of you reading outside of south east Queensland) last weekend, featuring a good and very reasonably minded friend of mine, and the implicit, if not occasionally explicit message from the show was that a Christian can't really, in good conscience, vote anything other than conservative. Which, quite frankly, is ridiculous. While we should be mindful of employing a historical fallacy – that how things used to be, or how things were in the beginning, is equal to how they are now – both Labor and the Coalition parties were established to promote, or protect "Christian" values. And both historical party platforms have important messages in particular times and places. Thankfully, modern Australia isn't really that place – the parties essentially agree on almost all the major issues. We have it pretty good in Australia – and our politicians, while approaching issues from different philosophical frameworks, are essentially just putting different window dressing on the same shops.
The problem with most Christian "how to vote" cards, policy trackers, and any sort of suggestion that God endorses the policy platform of any party, is that life is complex, and democratic politics involves complexity and compromise. It's be great to be able to force everybody to do what we want, but not so great when the boot is on the other foot.
So here, before I go any further, is "how to vote" tomorrow. As a Christian. Or as anybody.
Vote with your head.
That's it. You can stop reading now. If that's all you were after. Participating in a democratic process is an incredible privilege, and abusing it is a sure-fire way to end up with a bad government, and a lowest common denominator form of political campaigning.
Here's my handy "how to vote" card for any Australian election – it was prepared for the last Federal Election, but is still relevant for tomorrow.
This may be an over simplification, because we have to acknowledge that there are hot-button issues for Christian voters. Some of us feel so strongly about a Christian moral framework that we only want Christians governing the country. And we want the country governed using a Christian worldview. We like to appeal to Australia's so called "Christian heritage" to justify lording it over our heathen neighbours, who on the whole, just want to eat, drink, and be merry – without us interfering. The Christian heritage assumption is based on a pretty questionable interpretation of some historical data, I'm not going to argue that our system of laws isn't based on Judea-Christian values – because they are – but I doubt that Christianity was ever practiced by the majority of Australians in any meaningful way (church attendance has consistently been much lower than those who nominate as Christian in the census). If you want you can read my Australian Church History essay on this question.
I posted on abortion recently – and it's an issue many people feel pretty strongly about. Strongly enough that it might influence their vote. And possibly With good reason. Abortion, to my mind, involves speaking out on behalf of the voiceless (the unborn) and attempting to protect and uphold life. But, the reality is that Labor and the LNP are in a two horse race to be the decision makers for the state (Katter's Australia Party, the Greens, and Family First might compete in each electorate – but their policy platforms aren't big enough for them to be treated as worthy of a vote). And their positions on the issue of abortion are almost impossible to tell apart. So, Campbell Newman, refused to outline his party's position on the issue. There's no real choice here anyway – and the way forward on this issue is something I discussed in the post linked above.
This isn't really anything I haven't said before. But a couple of people have asked me if I was going to post about the election. And now I have. There's a second post following this one very shortly.
At this point, in terms of my own vote, the similarity of the major parties, and the craziness of the fringes, means that my vote is coming down to a question of style rather than substance. I feel inclined to punish Labor for their horrible campaign. Relentless negativity based on spurious accusations, directed at an individual, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I can't possibly vote for the Labor party after their campaign.
I get this date wrong every year. I'm going to schedule the next few posts anniversary ahead of time. Anyway.
I've been blogging for six years. Here's my first post, as it reads on St. Eutychus, here it is on my original Blogger blog.
Its been a fun six years. Blogging is one of my favourite pastimes. I've posted 5,404 posts with 8,916 comments. I still love your comments, and love that people want to read my thoughts, rants, liveblogs and follow my wanderings around the interwebs.
This also means it's six years since I moved to Townsville, where many life changing things happened, especially my meeting of my wife, and number one blog reader, Robyn. Who used my blog to suss me out, and introduce me to her family – so its been pretty worthwhile on that front. Also, her ongoing patience with my countless hours playing around on the internet and fiddling with my blog are a huge part of the reason I'm still online.
Thanks for reading.
This, and other cute animal videos, available for your "awwing" pleasure at heysoph.com (a website updated for my daughter's viewing pleasure).
To be honest, I'm having lots of fun finding cute videos to post there. Maybe I should start using Pinterest.
Brilliant. Cook eggs in onion rings, or capsicum.
I think I will.
From Lifehacker.
So my recent Dropbox ad giveaway was pretty popular, and while I was scrounging around to see if I could get more free advertising dollars I came across this offer from Google. Because I work as a web and social media consultant (and I do), I could sign up to become a Google Engage Partner.
They give me a bunch of $75 vouchers. You set up a google adwords account (using a gmail address, and registering at google.com/adwords). I send you a voucher code. You build your own $75 ad campaign with your dropbox referral link.
We all win. Except me. But I get to give something away. First ten people who meet these criteria can have a code:
PS email me to get the code, my address is floating around on the site somewhere. If you want to hire me as a consultant you can use that email address too. Though I'm currently fairly flat out.
K-Rudd looks set to have another tilt at the lodge. Which, for non-Australians, is where the Prime Minister of Australia lives.
I'd rather the Labor party just install Bill Shorten. He seems eloquent and clever. Or Tanya Plibersek. I think I'd consider voting Labor if there was a Shorten/Plibersek ticket.
K-Rudd was a control freak, and just as power hungry as Gillard. And he eats ear wax… it's the result of some bizarre hagiographic redaction, and the sour taste his public knifing left in our mouth, that gives him his position in the polls. Partly I think the electorate relishes the chance to turf him out democratically.
J-Gill is just awful. A political experiment gone wrong. She can't get anything right, and clearly moves in whatever direction is popular on the issues she doesn't care about – so she's strong on climate change and education, but is about to change her position on the definition of marriage (if the papers today are anything to go by).
Here's what I think he should do when he inevitably loses his challenge next week, or whenever it happens. Instead of moving to the backbenches, he should move to the cross benches, with whatever Labor supporters feel strongly enough about ousting Gillard. He should do a Katter, and start his own party. And he should trigger a double dissolution. Leave the party in a huff. And write his memoirs.
He can't win from here. His party hates him. He doesn't seem to have the requisite support. If he resigns his seat there's every chance the power grabbers in the Labor party will find some way to hold on in a messy hung parliament. So crossing the floor seems like his best option for making waves for Julia, who he clearly dislikes.
The other mob across the floor aren't much better, Tony Abbott is a walking cliche/soundbite/bad visual pun. We should probably just draft Peter Costello or Paul Keating back into the top job. At least those guys had a bit of character and some sense of an ideology beyond the endless pursuit of staying in power and beating the other guys.
That is all.

Lady Gaga Shows Off Bikini Body: PHOTOS
By Daniel Gates | 12:34 pm, June 8th, 2013PHOTOS
Lady Gaga is ready for summer.
The performer, who's kept a relatively low profile in the months since canceling her world tour and undergoing hip surgery, emerged in Cabo San Lucas on Friday sporting a bikini and trim figure.
No official timetable for Gaga's return to the stage has been set, but it's good to see her out and about, looking happy and healthy despite some nasty tabloid reports.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

ST. PETERSBURG. June 16 (Interfax) - U.S. Ambassador to Russia John R.
Beyrle has said he hopes that U.S. President Barack Obama will visit
Russia in 2011.We are very hopeful that President Obama will visit Moscow
this year, he said.Russia and the United States are doomed to find ways of
bridging their differences on missile defense, he said.Asked whether a
rapprochement between the two countries on missile defense was possible,
Beyrle said he thought the rapprochement was inevitable.Intensive work on
the issue has only just been going for six months, but this is too small,
he said.This is an entirely new space, which was earlier used by the sides
to express their disagreement with each other's positions, but now it
serves cooperation, Beyrle said, adding that this is a new chapter in
Russian-U.S. relations.It will take time, but we are doomed to come to
agreement, he repeated.Kk lg eb(Our editorial staff can be reached at

It didn't get much wheeling before 2003 other than a couple trips to the desert when we lived in Riverside, CA but it was really tame stuff.
It was always user for mostly short trips and in town and the mileage was always pretty low. As it sits now, at nearly 11 years old at about 42,000 miles, and still only gets a couple thousand miles a year.
Very nice TJ you got there. Wouldn't mind seeing some more pics of it :thumbsup:
nice Jeep. Very clean axle and I love the Savvy skid:thumbsup:
It's definitely gonna look good with some 35's on it.
I was really really close to ordering a set of the MetalCloak Oveline Fenders/Flares today. They have a good Black Friday deal that I would have been able to get the fenders/flares, powdercoated, taxed (Cali), and Shipped to my door for just over $650 total.
BUT as I was getting gas today looking at my front end and envisioning what the rig might look like with the fenders I came to the realization that my Full Width (60") Hanson bumper could look goofy with those tube fenders. They extend out past where the fenders
This pic was before lots of other stuff on my TJ (winch/lift/tires/steering, etc), but shows how wide that bumper is and how much would "stick" out into the newly wider fender opening.
I like my Hanson bumper BUT I think I'm going to have to get something stubbier before or at the same time that I get the front fender/flares. Maybe will wait to see Blaine and Geralds Savvy Front Bumpers... Metal Cloak also has some interesting things going on in the bumper area too.
So it's kind of a vicious cycle;
Tube Fenders First -> Make 33" tires look Small -> Want to Upgrade to 35" Tires
Tube Fenders First -> Make Bumper Look Goofy -> Want to change bumpers
35" Tires -> Make me want more room to stuff em -> Want to get Fenders
I think 35" Tires and then Corner Armor are probably priority #1 and #2.
I didn't do so well in the mud and slop, but to be fair, I was blindfolded :shhh:
Savvy front Bumper should be here tomorrow, already removed the Hanson in preparation.
Got my Savvy Front Bumper more or less installed...need to torque a few bolts, re-run the power wires, re spool my Synthetic line and will be good!
Looking good!
Jeep looks great:2thumbsup:
what did you do with your Hanson Bumper ?
Been a while since I updated...
Here is better shot of front bumper...
And License Plate Mount

Whilst at BETT 2010, I had a chat with a guy about Cyber Clean. Basically, this anti-bacterial putty can be used for cleaning keboards, mice, kepads, etc... anything you touch with your fingers (except touch-screens).
After a chat about how it comes in various sizes of container at various prices and about the benefits of using it over regular cleaning materials (e.g. foam cleaner or cleaning wipes), the guy offered me a sachet worth approx. £6. This sachet is meant to be good for cleaning about 50 keyboards so my immediate thought was it wasn't cheap stuff!
Paul (my apprentice) and I have just evaluated the product and were quite disappointed! Although the putty-like substance does indeed work its way between keys and into crevices, it doesn't actually clean the surfaces! We even followed the two-stage instructions on the back of the packet... 'Just press & pull!"
Even trying to de-dust equipment resulted in disappointment - blowing over the surfaces removed more dust!!!
Next I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and clean the keyboard with AF Maxiclene first, using the Cyber Clean as an antibacterial cleaner afterwards. To be honest, I don't think it was worth the effort!
To sum up, the product seemed like a brilliant idea but its execution was poor. As a material for disinfecting keyboards after they have been cleaned, maybe it's OK but it's a lot of money for cleaning clean things!

Lutz: Saturn Astra too expensive, not profitable
Car buyers here in the States are clamoring for fuel efficient transportation, but so far the Saturn Astra hasn't been on the top of buyers lists. The Astra is a smash hit in Europe and we liked it during its short stay in the Autoblog Garage, but it may just be too expensive compared to the competition with a starting price of $16,495. General Motors isn't keeping the price high to make a profit on the small volume import, either. GM vice chairman and quote master Bob Lutz told Automotive News that the Belgian-made Astra isn't profitable in the U.S. at all anymore due to the weak value of the Dollar vs. the Euro. The Astra has gone up in price by $500 since its introduction to reflect the broadening gap between the two currencies, and the price hike was implemented only to lessen the hit from the currency exchange. The Astra is not just a financial burden for the General – it isn't exactly a sales success, either. GM has sold only 7,914 so far this year, which is far below the projected pace of 25,000 annual units. Part of the problem is that few people actually know the Astra exists, and those who do may not want to pay the relatively high price of entry. If you've driven or own an Astra, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

You make it sound like it is worse because it happens in Europe compared to China, but I suppose you are just surprised. Exploiting your workforce is not limited to countries that are far away. We have farmers in my countries that are found to be cramming eastern Europeans in a few trailers or a barn that have to pay a rent that is slightly below what they make for working 10-12 hours a day. They are fined for not paying taxes and if there are people who want to testify for other things as well.
When there is money to be made there are always those that will exploit others just to have a higher profit margin.
A machine which flawlessly performs the instructions it is given, no matter how flawed those instructions may be.

Inking of a pact to enhance funding of a hydropower project and ways to strengthen trade ties with the African countries will be the highlights of the week-long visit of Vice President Hamid Ansari to tri-nation tour of Zambia, Botswana and Malawi starting on Tuesday.
Besides the bilateral issues, a joint programme of action on promoting trade relations with the African region, which is being finalised with the African Union Commission, is also expected to figure predominantly in the talks between Mr. Ansari and his counterparts in these countries.
Briefing the reporters on the Vice President's visit, Secretary (West) in the Ministry of External Affairs Vivek Katju said "an agreement for a Line of Credit (LoC) of $ 50 million for the Itezhi Tezhi Hydropower Project in Zambia is expected to be signed in the capital Lusaka".
