2013 and earlier-Honda CR-V Prices Paid and Buying Experience
hokiebird2008 Posts: 4
horns07 Posts: 4Just bought a 2010 CR-V EXL FWD w/o Navi on Sat with pinstripes and door edge guards. This is what we paid (we're in TX):
Base price: $25,277
Trade in: $2,200 (2001 GrandAM 2D GT)
Total: $24,805.39
Probably not the best price out there but the trade in belongs to my sis' who's living out of country right now and we just wanted to get rid of the car.
Also got a quote from the dealer for 8yr/120k EW w/ $0 deductible for $1,625. Got the quote for the same package from Bernardi.com for $1,020. Question I have is Bernardi's package exactly the same as dealer's? Is this a good price? -

lasvegasrph Posts: 85Hello! We are looking at the same vehicle I think. A 2010 Honda CR-V EX-L (2wd) and the MSRP = $27,205. It is Royal Blue Pearl with Gray Leather.
It looks like you were able to buy it for $25,277 + TTL. Is that right? If so, I think you did REALLY good. That's $2,000 off MSRP. They might have done that because they gave you a low trade in for the 2001 Pontiac ($2,200).
I am hoping to get this 2010 EX-L (2wd) for $25,000 + TTL. Wish me luck!!!! -
nathanpham Posts: 3I paid $25505 out the door (mi tax 6%)
The lowest internet i get is $23,474.00 (without the tax and document fees) I paid little more cuz that dealer is little bit away from my place.
Most dealer i went to willing to take $23800 very quick, so If you get time to deal, you properly could get it close to 23474.00 and save couple hundreds. -
horns07 Posts: 4Actually I got the $25,277 quote from a dealer in Houston and asked a closer dealer to match the price. I think because of that, they low balled the trade-in. We could've driven the car to Houston (200 miles away) and negotiate a lower price but just didn't want to deal w/ the hassle for $200-$300. So I think getting a base price close to $25,000 is definitely possible. Good luck to you!!

tjx Posts: 32Heritage Honda, Parkville Md, just outside Baltimore. Refer to my post number 8757. No games but one heck of a savings!! I drove from Virginia Beach, Va to this dealer to save $1400 from the lowest price I could find in Southern Virginia, including Richmond and Fairfax Va. Just ask for the internet dealer. You will not be sorry.
baydrive Posts: 48Wow! That is a great price! My out the door price was about $700 more. I bought 2 1/2 weeks ago and the best price I got for a 2010 LX 4WD was $21915 (published invoice price) before title and tax. Seems that most people on this forum manage to get prices below the published invoice price.
Good luck with your CR-V. I really like mine. -
mpd2 Posts: 12All the dealers in the WA/OR are not budging on 2010 LX 4WD prices. They are telling me CRVs are rare, showing me the invoice price, and saying to make a profit, they can only sell $500 above. Some are still quoting MSRP.
I'm seeing people here bought theirs in the low $21k. Any thoughts on negotiating for a lower price? It's like all the dealers are conspiring together or something. -
myfirstodyssey Posts: 14
lokie Posts: 8Mpd2, I agree with you. Although I am not in WA/OR, I feel the same in Nor Cal. I have also been quoted a couple of times $500 above invoice. the latest i have been quoted was $22,300 (before TTL). Since I don't really need the car immediately, I am not going to buy it unless I get below invoice or the max, at invoice. Good luck with your buying.

What's the story behind this portrait?
It took a while for me and my model, Mosh, to finally shoot together. Even though this was our little shoot, Mosh put it all out there as usual. I wanted her to show a range of emotions with the least possible amount of expression. I think she nailed it.
Why do you like to shoot portraits?
I love shooting women. Women possess the mystery of sensuality and each woman is beautiful. They play and tease; they have secrets; they mesmerize you with their grace. I also really enjoy capturing all kinds of emotions. My favorite one is playful innocence with a touch of mysterious sexuality.
What do you think makes a great portrait?
What attracts me to a portrait, on top of the composition being pleasing to the eye, is when a picture makes me create my own story or wonder what is going on.
Whose portrait work do you especially admire or feel influenced by?
I'd say Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton, Ellen von Unwerth. I always loved black and white photography. High contrast black and white work has been an influence on me. It definitely adds so much secrecy. I also love the golden era, retro chic and classic Hollywood cinema.
Equipment used: Nikon D600, AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lens, 2 umbrellas, handheld.

Mach 1 Air Services in Tempe has quietly become the largest shipping company based in Arizona and one of the top 20 air cargo companies in the United States. And it's looking for more growth in Mexico.
The freight-fowarder has 16 offices in the United States and 200 agents in 100 countries worldwide to move goods. And it recently received a federal security certificate that will allow it to more easily expand operations already in Mexico.
"The international markets, in terms of air cargo, are growing at a faster clip than the domestic markets," said Mike Entzminger, Mach 1 CEO and Scottsdale resident. "There's more commerce there and a lot of times people can't wait 21 days for an ocean container to float across the ocean, so you end up flying quite a bit of the international trade."
Mach 1 buys the belly space of commercial aircraft — namely Southwest, America West, Northwest and United — to ship the goods of its customers. It also has a fleet of trucks and distribution and operation facilities to move cargo to nearby locations.
"Where we differ from a UPS, a Federal Express or DHL it our average size shipment is about 900 pounds," Entzminger said. "They consider themselves a small package company. They're really an envelope company."
Mach 1 moves freight for local companies including Avnet, TRW and Phelps Dodge Corp. It also delivers parts going to Ford, General Motors and Chrysler body and assembly plants, mostly in Mexico.
"John Q. Public doesn't really think of auto parts on an airplane, but it's not always finished parts. Sometimes it's raw materials," Entzminger says. "We handle different components for TRW in the manufacture of their air bags and we've had shipments we've done from foreign countries for Phelps Dodge. We brought in fire brick for their smelters down in the mines."
The company was founded in 1988 in a small tin building in south Phoenix. Today, it's 40,000 square-foot headquarters is near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The privately owned firm employs 189, 50 of which are in the Valley, and it had revenue of $41 million in 2003, Entzminger said. It is budgeted to make $61 million in revenue this year.
"We feel we're probably around the 18th or 19th largest freight-forwarder in the United States, largely based on what airlines tell us our standing with them is as a client," Entzminger said. "We're going quite well."
To fuel growth, Mach 1 opened offices in Chicago and Dallas in recent years. And it plans facilities in Mexico City and Guadalajara, Mexico by the end of year.
"We'd have to break our back to grow 35 and 40 percent a year in Phoenix," Entzminger said. "Five years ago, about 99 percent of our business was in North America. Now, we've established an agent network where we've got partners...in foreign countries that do our pick up if it's an import and do our delivery if it's an export, and they help with the custom's process."
Entzminger, 50, says his job is shipping middleman.
"We have accounts with pretty much every airline in the world," he said. "What we do is choose the method, the airlines, the size aircraft and the schedule that fits the needs of the client."
Jerry Biegler, Avnet director of corporate transportation services, said the computer parts distributor uses Mach 1 to ship goods overnight, second day and for 3-to-5-day heavyweight shipping. Avnet, which is based in Phoenix and has East Valley operations, also has selected the company to deliver goods to the border.
"While their primary function has been heavyweight shipping, they are able to support us in a lot of other areas including some opportunities moving forward into Mexico," Biegler said.
Mach 1 was recently given Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism certification from the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. It also has a Partners in Protection certification from the Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency. The certificates mean the company has met security measures and can more quickly transport goods across borders. The designation will help Mach 1 move more goods into and out of Mexico.
"In terms of air cargo, a lot of what goes on in Nogales, Sonora, and Hermosillo and Guaymas, a lot of that freight comes into Phoenix Airport and 15 or 20 percent goes into Tucson airport," Entzminger said. "There's a lot of things going on there because you've got the inexpensive labor, and a lot of assembly goes on in Mexico. So it's a wonderful, wonderful market for us."
The company recently named a president to oversee its Mexican subsidiary. The employee is responsible for growing its operations in Monterrey, the third largest city in Mexico, and in Queretaro, where the company already has facilities. Mach 1 also has officers in border towns in Laredo, Texas and McAllen, Texas.

I am considering purchasing a Bassett sofa from their custom collection. I have been told that their custom furniture is made in North Carolina. I will pay around $1800 for what I have chosen. I have picked out a loose back pillow design. I would love your feed back from anyone who has has experience in Bassett custom furniture. Also, I have been told that the custom collection is better made than what they show as instore (locally stocked). I would like a sofa that is going to last more than the 5 years other sofas last. Any thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I bought a custom sectional from Bassett 3 years ago thinking Made in America was the way to go. I have been very disappointed. It was an expensive piece, but the cushions are already looking flat and the fabric quickly pilled and looks much older than it is. Bassett replaced the seat covers and the pilling occurred again. The sofa doesn't really sit that comfortably, either. Obviously, I don't plan to purchase any other upholstered pieces from Bassett . |

Shiseido is one of the largest cosmetic companies in Japan, and the founder wants consumers worldwide to know that the brand he began is meant for all who seek beauty. Oddly enough, Shiseido (pronounced "she-say-doe"), whose products have a distinctly Japanese appearance and appeal, began in 1872 as Japan's first Western-style pharmacy. Its products have been sold in the United States for over 40 years, and it has become a nearly overwhelming product line. Although there are some respectable products, Shiseido's skin-care collection is far from a total approach to anything, unless your skin-care mantra is "it has to be average yet needlessly expensive and the routine has to include more products than any other line recommends."
A total approach to health and beauty would take into account all that has been learned to date about how skin functions, how it can repair itself, how it ages, and what it realistically takes for it to look, feel, and function at its best. Such an approach does not, however, involve cleansers with alkaline ingredients that cause skin to be unnecessarily dry, lackluster toners, or far too many products with alcohol; that can only harm the skin, which isn't beautiful in the least.
Shiseido doesn't have the issue of sun protection down yet, as witness a few of their sunscreens that still lack sufficient UVA protection - even though they participate in Japan's UVA-based PA rating system (explained in the Sun Products reviews below). And when it comes to state-of-the art essentials such as antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients, and substances that reinforce the structure of healthy skin, Shiseido typically comes up short. You'll hear (and read) much talk about the company's exclusive technologies, but terms like Bio-Regenerine, Phyto-Capsule Emulsification, Optimal Balance Network, and Deacti-Complex are meaningless without significant, proven ingredients to support each technology's alleged function. We're sure they are intended to make the products seem more advanced and special to consumers, but the proof is in the ingredient lists, and very few of Shiseido's lists fall under the category of impressive.
If anything, the numerous skin-care options presented here are merely average or really disappointing. Many of the moisturizers have luscious textures, but again, it takes more than a sensational feel to create exceptional products that have your skin's best interest (and best appearance) in mind.
One point of difference with this line is that Shiseido insists on regular facial massage. That means you'll find several facial massage creams, although most of them have traditional moisturizer formularies that differ little from what's seen throughout the lineup. Shiseido maintains that routine facial massage creates firmer skin that's less prone to sagging because the massage action tones the muscles, but that simply isn't true. The muscles of the face are among the most frequently used. Repetitive muscle movements are a prime cause of expression lines around the eyes, mouth, and on the forehead. Botox has become such a popular procedure because it selectively prevents these muscles from working, which smoothes creases and lines. Massage alone cannot do that; if anything, routine facial massage can encourage lines and sagging by stretching the skin. Furthermore, when skin slackens and sags, it involves more than just the muscles. Sun damage plays a role in collagen and elastin destruction, as does gravity, which causes fat pads beneath the skin to slip. And then there's bone loss, and the fact that, as we age, skin continues to grow (yet has less to hold on to). Massage to repair sun damage—give me a break!

Shiseido Makeup
Although Shiseido is known more for their seemingly endless array of skin-care products, their makeup, while not without its problem-child products, is clearly not just an afterthought. The main and most impressive part of the color collection is the foundations. For the most part they have silky textures, and provide adequate sun protection (at least an SPF 15 with UVA-protecting ingredients). If you're keen on shopping this line you should also pay attention to their Perfect Rouge Lipstick, lip gloss, the mascaras, and some distinctive specialty products. Items to avoid entirely include the eye and brow pencils and a couple of the eyeshadows; the makeup brushes are serviceable, but pale in comparison to what makeup artist–backed lines offer. Ignore the inflated claims that accompany many of Shiseido's makeup products, but don't ignore the best of what they have to offer—because in that regard, they're better than ever!
Unless you like white lips, this is not for you. while the texture of this lip balm is fine, it is white! Who wants white lips? When I put it over a lipstick, it makes everything pink. It's terrible for anything other than maybe the beach.
If your lips are naturally a darker tone, this goes on with a white cast & you can see it. I couldn't get past that to see if it really worked & threw mine out. If you wear it as a base with lipstick on top, or you have lighter pink colored lips-then you this may be for you.

There will be times when your dog will benefit from the use of decongestants. It may be due to respiratory congestion or a type of respiratory infection. There are over-the-counter decongestants you can give your dog with the approval of your vet following a proper diagnosis. In any case, such a visit is usually in order.
If you have a dog with noticeable congestion it is tempting to run to the pharmacy to help ease their discomfort. This is sometimes more detrimental than good. Your dog's system, including their upper respiratory tract, works somewhat differently from that of a human.
In addition, some dogs take well to human medication while others will suffer from it. Each dog has a different sensitivity level in addition to an allergic profile to various drugs. OTC decongestants are no different, worse actually, which is why a vet's prescription is the best way to go.
Can I Give My Dog Decongestants? Answer: Only with a vet's prescription
If you are thinking of giving your dog a decongestant for whatever reason, give your vet a call.
There is a lot of confusion about what a decongestant is verses an expectorant, antihistamine and cough suppressant. Many medicines on the market overlap in treating symptoms and are a concoction of chemical remedies. This is why you really need to consult with your vet for the sake of your dog.
For example, Dextromethorphan is often used for dogs and often it helps but it isn't really a decongestant. If you use this don't exceed 1 teaspoon per twenty pounds of dog every six hours.
Working out exactly how much to give your pet, especially if you have a miniature dog, is difficult. Too much can be lethal and too little may not help at all. For example, in larger breeds, some dogs will likely need two teaspoons, where miniature types may only require just three quarters of a teaspoon. Your veterinarian will best advise you on which decongestant to buy after taking into consideration all the factors. They will know the proper dosage for your dog as well.
Determining A Dog's Weight
Knowing your dog's weight is key for administering any medicine. If you don't know it try this. Stand on a scale and weigh yourself and then stand on the scale holding your dog. The difference between the two weights is the weight of your dog. This isn't 100% accurate, but is one way to try and weigh your pet.
We can't stress enough the importance of the weight factor for treating your dog any human medication!
Safe Decongestants
There aren't many safe decongestants you can buy over-the-counter for dogs. Sudafed seems to be the only pure OTC decongestant in pill form.
You can give your dog an expectorant called Guaifenesin. This often includes Dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant, which is given every six hours or so. It comes in liquid form and one teaspoon per twenty pounds of dog is a reasonable guideline.
Diphenhydramine is useful but requires a vet's approval and is actually a antihistamine not a decongestant. Similarly, Hycodan is a cough suppressant, not really a decongestant, that can only be prescribed by a veterinarian. This will usually be given in extreme cases. Your vet is only a phone call away!
If need be, you can break a tablet to ensure the right dose is being given. The advantage of this is you can crush the tablet and mix in with their food.
Side Effects of Decongestants in Dogs
Some severe side effects can result from giving decongestants recklessly. If your dog starts vomiting, trembling, becomes hyperactive, or appears to have an elevated heart rate, stop giving the medication immediately and contact your vet right away. An overdose of decongestants can certainly kill a dog.
It is likely your veterinarian will suggest that you bring the dog in immediately for evaluation. Some people try to induce vomiting at home.
So What to Do
Deciding whether to give your dog over-the-counter decongestants or not is in your hands. It is suggested that you only do so with vet approval and their expert dosage recommendation. Once you get the OK, keep a watchful eye on your canine for early signs of a bad reaction. If you notice any harmful side effects, stop the medication immediately and seek professional help.

'Mr. Peabody & Sherman': 3D fun, pawsitive lessons for kids
A 2.5-star movie review of "Mr. Peabody & Sherman," a fast-paced 3D animated feature about a dog, his boy and a time machine, based on the series of cartoons from "The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show."
Special to The Seattle Times
Movie Review
'Mr. Peabody & Sherman,' with the voices of Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Ariel Winter, Allison Janney, Stanley Tucci. Directed by Rob Minkoff, from a screenplay by Craig Wright, based on a series by Jay Ward. 82 minutes. Rated PG for some mild action and brief rude humor. Several theaters.
At first it seems as though the animated "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" is derived from pretty thin source material: a series of five-minute cartoons from the much-loved "Rocky & Bullwinkle Show" about a genius dog and his geeky human son who travel back in time where they interact with famous figures — and the dog indulges a penchant for truly terrible puns.
But on second thought ... hmm. Dog is father to a boy. Plenty of opportunities there to explore the legal and social ramifications of an unusual interspecies relationship. An odious child-protective-services bureaucrat (voiced by Allison Janney) is determined to remove little Sherman (Max Charles) from Peabody's custody. And a taunting girl classmate (Ariel Winter), who derides Sherman as a dog, must be made to see the error of her ways by tripping back in time with the boy in a WABAC Machine.
Oh yes, time travel! The space-time continuum will surely be warped and, uh, woofed — puns: they're contagious — in that scenario.
Plus there are history lessons to be mined from the material. For instance, did you know that ancient Egyptian burial rites sometimes included human sacrifice and that mummification involved removing the internal organs and preserving them in objects called canopic jars? Educational!
"Mr. Peabody & Sherman" has all of that. And puns. Must have puns. Must have Peabody ("Modern Family's" Ty Burrell), after a visit to the famed Trojan city, intoning, "If at first you don't succeed, Troy, Troy again." There's plenty more where that came from.
Frantically paced by director Rob Minkoff ("The Lion King") and making very effective use of 3D — Hey! Get that sword out of my face! — the movie will surely appeal to kids. Unfortunately, a not-insignificant part of that appeal derives from poop jokes. There's a road-apple reference relating to the Trojan Horse. And when our heroes are ejected from the Sphinx's rear, oh dear. Plus, there's the scene set in the sewers of Paris where ... well, you get the idea.
Other jokes seem pretty harsh for young viewers. A guillotine sequence from the French Revolution and the gag about Egyptian funerary disembowelments leave a bad taste in the mouth.
But it all ends with hugs and sweetness — let boy and dog embrace — and if I had to guess I'd say a sequel is a distinct possibility.

We didn't actually realise until we cleared to the first boss - we'd thought it must have been set on "heroic" or something. Double loots off the first boss ftw, but on trying the second boss, we found that they staggered the mass mind control, and the best way to describe our complete lack of success was "hilarity ensued".
Ever since, that instance has seemed awfully easy ...

Before I say anything I know that after this post I'll receive countless abuses dealing with me....but I really do appreciate you guys and your noble effort towards crushing a criminal who makes illegal money out of a popular fan anime series but why start abusing his family now? What good will it do to you? Rather why don't you guys search for new proofs of his treachery and post them on the sticky on why you should hate tazmo. I know this is annoying, but seriously close this thread. It fogs the noble purpose you guys have set up to do.
tazmos "fairy god" mother (happy?) is so old, i told her to act her age, and the bitch died.
Tazmo's mama is so dumb that she went to a mind reader and got half price!
She's so fat that when she tried to go over the rainbow it bent!
tazmo's mom got no legs talkin' bout "i wont stand for this"!
Tazmo's mama is so dumb she went to Dr.Dre for her pap smear!

I just ordered from them today. Never heard of them but, they had some plants I wanted so, I'm taking my chances with them. I didn't get any discount. Lilly |
I have been using this website for a number of years now, and find it very helpful when I want to order from a company I've never done business with before. I think it's saved me lots and lots of hassles! |

Geez... I missed the sale! Actually Gorge Top Gardens won't come up on Garden Watchdog. Lilly ~ Please let us know how your order arrives. Thanks, |
I just placed an order with them today. They were having a 20% off sale and free shipping until March 7. Then I went in search of info and ended up here. Don't know anything about them. Never heard of them before. Will see what happens. |

mirandy ~ will you let us know what you think when your plants arrive. Thanks, |
Plants arrived today. Packaging was excellent. Plants were terribly wilted and the soil in the pots was very dry. I think they could have done better in that area. Otherwise it was great. They included a free one. They emailed last week to let me know there would be a week delay due to the wet, rainy weather. I would order from them again but ask them to make sure the plants are moistened well before shipping. These were Foxgloves and I have never purchased them before so it may be they don't ship well?? |

I'm not sure about Foxgloves, but I've received several plants from different places with extremely dry soil. Thanks for letting us know about them. |
Mirandy-thanks for letting us know, I too ordered 6 and can't wait for them to arrive. Might be a few weeks as I am zone 5a. Erin |

Just received my order today of: 1 hosta 'Krossa regal' 2 daylily 'Hyperion' 1 clematis 'Madam Le Coultre' They're all bare-root and are packaged very well. The daylilies and hosta are already growing. I can't plant them yet because the rain hasn't stopped for 3 days here in Pa. and more to come. Lilly |

I placed an order with Gorge Top Gardens on April 23 and I asked for it to be mailed on May 10th. After 5 days I Emailed them two times. They finally answered the second one and said they were running behind and the order was scheduled to go out that week and I would be notified by Email when it was sent. That's been over a week. They wont answer my emails or phone calls. They took my money, so I guess I'm stuck. Even if I get the order that will sure be the last order they will get from me. Scott |

I must apologize for the what I wrote about Gorge Top Gardens on may 24th. I recieved a phone call from them and they had a death in the family and were out of the nursery for most of the week. Gorge Top Gardens is a family ran and I know how hard they work to make a living. It's a "thing of the past" so to speak. They should get our business as much as possible. Sorry, Scott. |
Does anyone know anything about the company at coneflowers.net? I can't find a physical address so I can't check with the BBB. |

I ordered 2 Turn of the Century and 1 Blue River 11 hibiscus, spring of 2011. What was labeled as "Turn of the Century" a large growing plant, turned out to be a shorter bright red Hibiscus. Blue River 11 did not come up at all I emailed their Replacement etc. sending a photo of the red hibiscus and asking for a replacements but did not hear from them again. Right now in 2012, I emailed the request again. Will let you know if I get a response. |

Shifting Perspectives: The same old animal posterior {WoW}
Oct 9th 2007 5:36PM Here's a bit that has been thrown around forever. I would like to modify it a bit to make it feasible on the game development tip:
1.) Replace specific forms, Bear, Cat, Dire bear with new form types. "Protection Form", "Violence Form", or the like.
2.) Make all form specific skills and art into effects that can be played alongside any animal attack animations.
3.) Give every wild animal a Form Type statistic which puts them into a category similar to the above forms.
4.) Give druids a new skill: "Emulate" which functions like the hunter taming skill. When an animal is emulated, the druid now turns into that animal during a form change.
Just scale up or down a given animal model and now you have a whole bunch of working alternate druid forms. Everybody wins.

Anyone reuse wine bottles in some decor project like candle holders or something? What other every day items have you repurposed as decor? Pictures? |

I used the corks from wine bottles to make a back splash in my bar area, and also behind the desk area in my kitchen which I use as a bulletin board. We were just at a museum recently where an artist made an american flag out of found bits of red, white and blue plastic (bottle caps and such). It came out incredibly well and had a really interesting texture to it. So I suppose you could do the same thing with any kind of image you wanted...your imagination is your only hold back. |

Annie I love that!!! Did you attach them directly to the wall or to a backer that you then attached to the wall? How did you determine design and spacing? Wanna come do mine? I've been saving corks for a project - just never knew what kind! |

The coolest art (recycled) that I have seen lately was a picture made out of the labels on fruits and veggies - the little round sticky labels that have the product number on them. I don't remember the subject of the picture but it used thousands of the labels. That's imagination. Diane |

DH made me a jig to hold the corks while I cut them in half with a hack saw. I then glued them directly to the wall with my hot glue gun. I figured if I used tile, the sheet rock would come down with it if I ever removed it, so why not just stick them on, and deal with the sheet rock if i ever remove them...though i doubt i will...i really like how they came out. The bar area took 200 corks, the desk area took 300. Placing them is no different than tile except the corks are more forgiving. |
Our elementary school did a huge, beautiful circular mural with hundreds, perhaps thousands, of different colored bottle caps. It was a great use of the tops, and was a fun project for the kids! It turned out amazing...I wish I had a picture! Or there's always something like this: ;) |
Here is one that I did a while back. Pretty much, the whole thing is recycled/repurposed in one way or another. It's in our master bathroom. The 3 cans on the left were tea bag containers from Harry and Davids given to me as gifts. I sprayed them, wrapped twine (that I found in the garage) around and now use them to hold cotton swabs, Q-tips and pocket change left over at the end of the day. The picture is of our kids, and I simply converted it to a sketch (in photoshop), and printed it on cardstock that I had. The shelf was on clearance and needed some re-gluing. It was black. I painted it white, with left over paint. The jar on the end was a baby food jar, and my daughter made it for me at a Green Festival a few years ago. Not a masterpiece, by any stretch of the imagination, but it is useful and makes me happy. :) |
Annie, your bs is amazing, I saved this picture for my son, I give him bags of wine corks and he hasn't done anything with them yet, I attached a cork bathmat I saw once, thought it was neat ; gotta find the instructions though, I can't remember what the backing was. |
Chianti straw bottomed bottles with all colours of dripping wax, I remember those fondly ; they would have a cool retro look today. |

NHL 12 Tutorial Videos
Below you will find several NHL 2012 video tutorials my buddy Kulsmash made with his PS3 and a Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR. Scroll down to see all of the videos as well as transcripts.
NHL 12 - How to play goalie tutorial
Hey guys this is Kulsmash, bringing you a video on how to play like a goalie.
c. Why 26 seconds
-So you know how to position yourself
-Know what size and where to put points into
-So you don't give up
2. Points
So for points
a-Style of Goalie 17 seconds
My take on the goalie is your like a fortress, you don't want any weaknesses. If you make your gate strong but have short walls the enemy is going to exploit that weakness. For this reason I pick Hybrid, they are good at everything.
b. Height and Weight 19 seconds
For height I pick the tallest goalie (6'9) for the reach advantage and 190 lbs to give the goalie stability.
b-What stats are important 105 seconds (must redo)
Agility is the number one most important stat. You need agility up to 85 as a minimum. Don't touch passing, you should be able to manually make a pass.
People debate on what speed does, my take on it is that it does affect your movement and how quickly you can move in the crease. I think that a good mix of agility and speed is a must. How much you put into each additional stat is based on what level you are. (Rookie Superstar etc) Try to get each of the stats equal, like this... Low and high at the same level as well as five hole and breakaway. Breakaway affects how well you react on you guessed it the breakaway. If this is low your goalie's breakaway is low your reaction time will slow down. The flying poke check will only work a few times and you need this in order to make the big save.
That's it for points
3. Threats
a- Shortside
Shortside is the area of the net that is open that is closest to the player. So if the player is coming up on your left the short side is the open area on the left.
b-Cross Creaser
-Cross creasers should never happen. The D should be in position to stop them, but you need to be prepared. While reading the play anticipate the cross creaser, this will open you up for the short side, but because your 6'9 you have the ability to do both.
c-Wrap arounds 36 seconds
This is going to come down to a preference, there is 3 options for the wrap around
1. short side
2. cross crease
3. pass
** Wrap arounds are about deception, if the team thinks that you aren't hugging the post then they will go for it. So don't hug the post until the last second **
Hugging the post will cover against one of these, very well (R2), manually putting your pad against the post will guard against all 3 better. If there is no options to pass and you know you have a D man to protect against the cross crease then hug the post otherwise I say, stay in butterfly but push your pad against the post. You will come out on top more often.
d-Breakaway 50 seconds
This obviously is the most difficult and incorporates all of the previous techniques. If you are facing them multiple times in a game you have to mix up your approach. The first time your best odds the flying poke check. Next, because they are going to be watching for it, you will have a better chance of cutting down the angle. If they still don't respect you and get in close then pull the flying poke check, but beware of the flipping up in the air deke.
The best thing to do when all your options are up is to relax and stay in the centre of the goal. If you bite on the deke it gives you a 50/50 chance. And remember the breakaway is not your fault, the defense is taking chances that are forcing you to make the big save.
4. Defense 9 seconds
a-Explain the goalie crease marks 39 seconds
Okay so the goalie crease has some markings which help you know where to stand. They are like the Box in Basketball backboard.
This is the goalie crease (I know fairly straight forward), at the top of the goalie crease is the goalie marks. You are going to put the appropriate foot in the goalie mark. If they are coming on the left put your left foot in the left mark, and right on the right.
b-Reading the play 28 seconds
you need to know where the wingers are at all times. To accomplish this, I suggest turning on colours for opposing players, so you know who is what.
Now your reading the play.. If you see someone waiting for the cross crease pass, you have to respect them and pull back slightly and cover the angle. Like so..
c. Advanced 31 seconds
These are two things that I try to do to get into the opponents head. The first one is opening up the short side and then closing it .. like so. This can be as risky as it is rewarding so don't use it often. The next is on the breakaway, notice how the player is making a tight turn at the end. This is when the flying poke check is most effective. You want to poke check so your stick gets the puck and your legs defend against the shot.
1st 10 min cross crease let in
2nd 17 min someone diving
2nd 13 min cross crease stop
5. Legend
a-strategy 24 seconds
The first thing you want to get is your wins, don't worry about your stats we can get those once you have the wins in place. So for your own sanity if you know your going to lose , QUIT. There is no sense in a 10-0 blow out. It will ruin your night and you will miss out on increasing your wins.
b-show when to quit 24 seconds
So when should you quit? You can sense it in your teams chemistry. The turn overs and offsides. If your team is able to gain the lead stick around and try to shut the door to allow for the win.
But don't wait to rage quit, you need the wins. There is a reason coaches pull there goalies, and quitting is the same thing.
c-explain how to get more out of your team 10 seconds
The short end of it is you can't, if your team sucks just quit and hope next time is better.
6. End 11 seconds
Well I hope this video helps, and thanks for watching
Feel free to comment and let me know your take on how to play ringette I mean hockey I mean goalie.

The DNR is investigating a fish kill south of Vail reported by the Crawford County Engineer Tuesday afternoon.
Many dead fish and a strong smell of manure indicate recent manure application may be the cause of the fish kill.
The DNR fisheries staff did a fish kill count Wednesday, finding mostly small fish such as minnows and shiners.
About one to two miles of Miller Creek have been affected southeast of its confluence with the Boyer River.
The DNR is actively investigating the source of the fish kill and will continue to monitor the situation.

Cyber Security Tips
Volume 8, Issue 3
Protect Yourself from Email Tax Scams - doc
From the Desk of Thomas D. Smith, Director
It's tax season and criminals are taking advantage of scam opportunities. Don't become the next victim.
Scammers leverage every means at their disposal to separate you from your money, your identity, or anything else of value. They may offer seemingly legitimate "tax services" designed to steal your identity and your tax refund, sometimes with the lure of bigger write-offs or refunds. Scams may include mocked up websites and tax forms that look like they belong to the IRS to trick you into providing your personal information.
Scam artists can prey on users by promising refunds that are fraudulent, a scam the IRS says has been rampant in previous years. In these scams, notices are posted on bulletin boards, in libraries, and at other community sites offering assistance. Scammers make money in two ways: first, they collect a fee for helping to "file" for a refund on behalf of their victims, and then they steal the victim's identity for further exploitation. The victims are left paying a fee for a fraudulent service, not getting the refund they thought they would, and are potentially in a position to face charges for failing to file a return or for committing fraudulent reporting.
How to Recognize an Email Tax Scam
According to the IRS, below are key ways to recognize an email tax scam. The email:
- requests personal and/or financial information, such as name, SSN, bank or credit card account numbers or security-related information, such as mother's maiden name, either in the email itself or on another site to which a link in the email directs you;
- includes exciting offers to get you to respond, such as mentioning a tax refund or offering to pay you to participate in an IRS survey;
- threatens a consequence for not responding to the email, such as additional taxes or blocking access to your funds;
- has incorrect spelling for the Internal Revenue Service or other federal agencies;
- uses incorrect grammar or odd phrasing; or
- discusses "changes to tax laws" that include a downloadable document (usually in PDF format) that purports to explain the new tax laws. These downloads are populated with malware that, once downloaded, may infect your computer.
How to Avoid Becoming a Victim
To stay safer this tax season, follow these five steps:
- Secure your computer. If your computer does not have proper security controls, it is vulnerable to access by criminals, who may be able to steal information stored on it. Make sure your computer has the latest security updates installed. Check that your antivirus and antispyware software are running properly and are receiving automatic updates from the vendor. If you haven't already done so, install and enable a firewall.
- Carefully select the sites you visit. Safely searching for tax forms, advice on deductibles, tax preparers, and other similar topics requires caution. Know the site. Know the company. Do not visit a site by clicking on a link sent in an email, found on someone's blog, or on an advertisement. The website you land on may look just like the real site, but it may be a well-crafted fake.
- Don't fall prey to email, web, or social networking scams. Common scams tout tax rebates, offer great deals on tax preparation or offer a free tax calculator tool. If you did not solicit the information, it's likely a scam. If the email claims to be from the IRS, it's a scam - the IRS will not contact you via email, text messaging or your social network, nor does it advertise on websites. If the email appears to be from your employer, bank, broker, etc. claiming there is an issue with what they reported for you and you need to verify some information, it might be a scam. Do not respond to the email. Contact the entity directly before responding.
- Never send sensitive information in an email. It may be intercepted and read by criminals.
- Use strong passwords. Cyber criminals have developed programs that automate the ability to guess your passwords. To protect yourself, passwords must be difficult for others to guess, but at the same time, easy for you to remember. Passwords should have a minimum of eight characters and include upper case (capital letters), lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Make sure your work passwords are different from your personal passwords.

A friend gave me a 2 foot long segment of organ pipe cactus, but I'm a bit lost on how to successfully plant it. She said to let it dry out a few days, then cut about 4" off the "root" end and plant. Does anyone know if this is accurate? And location to plant? Will it need a host plant at this size? Any other suggestions? Sorry for all the questions... moved to Tucson from NYC!
Thanks... |

Simple to do. Allow the cut end to callus (dry out) We usually set them out of the sun for 5 to 12 days depending on the size of the cutting. Then just place the cutting in a approbate sized container of really well drained soil (mostly sand, some well drained mix) we use 12 grit silica with our blend of cinder sand and "Pro Blend"... Then "Dont Water" if for another week. After that start adding small amount of water to its container. |

Thanks for your response. If I don't want to container-plant it, do your directions change? I already have sandy soil and lots of cacti in the ground. Do I need to chop off 4" before planting? Again, thanks... |
- Posted by turtleman49 AZ (My Page) on Mon, May 7, 07 at 9:05
Nope, follow the same method if your installing it directly into the ground, I'd add a small amount of compost/mulch to the hole that your planting into. Do "NOT" cut any more off the plant, in doing that you'd have a new wound and you'd need to callus the new wound or you run the risk of rotting the cutting when you start to water... |
turtleman is right. what your friend told you about cutting 4 inches off makes no sense. you are already letting the "root end" dry and callus over to prevent rot when you plant it. if you cut off any more, you would have to let that callus as well before you plant it. also, be patient, it can take a while for cutting to grow new roots. good luck with your new cactus. |
Thank you so much for your input. I've got it out to dry (been 3+ days already), so will plant later in the week. It's curved, so my intent is to plant the curved tip away from the sun in hopes it will straighten somewhat in search of sun. Make sense to those with epxerience? Thanks! |
Cactus cuttings should be planted in the same orientation to the sun as the parent plant. This helps minimize sunburn damage. Cactus develop thicker skins on the sides exposed to greater amounts of sun(west and south most notably).Wihout a good root system the cuttings can literaly cook in the hot summer sun which isn't far away. I have proagated quite a few different species using a technique that has had a very high success rate. When you take the cuttings, or in your case, re-cut the cutting you have (which will take some of the curve out of it) dust the freshly cut end in rooting hormone THEN let it callus over for one week. The rooting hormones usually have a fungicide which will help protect the cutting and they start faster. Plant in a good well drainig soil and water once every two weeks until established. Here are some of the cactus I have started this way. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Propagated Cactus
Thanks for the feedback, all. I went ahead and planted the seasoned cutting directly into the ground, respecting it's previous orientation to the sun (good point, jkochan!), and it seems to be doing just fine... although it looks rather silly with it's curve. :-) Then again, with cactus, it's hard to tell if it's thriving, eh? But it's holding it's own and looks healthy. Thanks again, |
I'm trying to propagate organ pipe cactus too. I just stuck it in the ground in the Tucson soil. Since planting it, it's turned yellow, almost clear, with about a 1/4 inch of green at the bottom. I assume its because its focusing its resources on root growth rather than height. It's also shrunk toward the top, which makes me think it may be getting dehydrated in the sun without roots. I water once per week. |

Looks dead as a doornail to me. |
- Posted by tomatofreak Z9 Phx USA (My Page) on Sat, Feb 2, 13 at 19:45
Yep, dead for sure. Try again with the instructions above. Did it turn yellow before or *after* the frost? Might have just frozen. |
- Posted by grant_in_arizona USDA Z9 Scottsdale A (My Page) on Mon, Feb 4, 13 at 15:16
Poor thing, it DOES look dead, immobilus, I'm sorry to say. It also looks like it froze which may have really done it in. Spring is a much better time to start the cuttings and once a week is probably too frequent to water, especially in winter. Hopefully you'll try again in spring and let us know how it works out. Propagating cacti can be so fun. By the way, are you sure yours is an organ pipe cactus? They're usually pleated and *covered* with bristles, yours sure looks like San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis pachanoi) to me. Happy gardening! |

Sciences Po has set itself the goal of becoming one of the top world social sciences and humanities universities by 2013, while at the same time strengthening its policy of social diversity. To achieve this ambition, it needs to obtain the support of a growing number of partners – public institutions, companies and individuals – in France and elsewhere.
Since 1945, the State has provided the bulk of Sciences Po's funding, but today its annual contribution covers only half of our budget. This public grant, which guarantees Sciences Po's independence with respect to its teaching and research activities and allows it to fulfil its public service mission to the best of its ability, is no longer sufficient to fund its ambitious development plans.
This is why Sciences Po actively seeks to implement a specific partnership policy aimed at public institutions, in France and elsewhere in the world, by developing concrete projects defined on the basis of shared strategic interests.

Bye Bye, Bridezilla! Tips For Smooth Sailing
Whether you are planning your own wedding or for someone else, you're probably aware of how challenging the process can be. Fortunately, this article is full of handy wedding planning tips that apply to a wide variety of scenarios.
A great gift for your guests at a destination wedding is a basket that you have delivered to their room full of vacation goodies. Include items that will be useful, like a tourist map, disposable camera, sunglasses, a hat, and pamphlets from fun places to visit in the area. You can also put in a guide to restaurants that are local.
It's tempting to do things the way your family has always done them to keep the peace. Keep in mind that your wedding is about you and your partner, not your extended family. If it's a choice between pleasing your relatives or pleasing yourself and your partner, you have to do what pleases you. Thank them for their concern and affection but firmly remind them that you and your spouse ultimately make the decisions. By doing this, you can reflect back, with no regrets, on the day you were wed.
When you have figured out your theme and the date of your wedding, one of the next things you need to do to keep your wedding planning going is to figure out which invitations you will use. Custom invitations usually include the wedding colors and graphics that reflect the theme of the wedding. Check out a variety of invitation types before settling on one.
Don't go overboard on decorating tables with flowers. Often, flowers interfere with guests being able to converse across the table. It's possible that there might be a few guests with flower allergies. Candles without scent are a romantic and beautiful centerpiece.
Do some dancing in a very long skirt with your betrothed prior to the wedding so that you're prepared for the first dance. You might be used to walking around or dancing in your skirt, but it will feel different to your future husband. This will ease any awkwardness that he might be feeling, especially if your wedding dress is puffy on the bottom.
Brides who love fashion will perhaps want to add a dash of sparkle to their bouquet; think rhinestones, Swarovski crystals or even some diamonds. You can use small pieces of costume jewelry, heat-fixed or adhesive crystals, or perhaps a treasured heirloom. Make sure that it will match everything else in your wedding outfit by remaining consistent with the colors you choose, the cut, and also the size of your stones.
The pictures you will have taken on your wedding day are meant to be a memento of your happy day for a lifetime. See to it that you hire professional photographers and pay a little bit more for this if needed in order to document this wonderful experience.
Rather than becoming overwhelmed by the variety of options for the wedding rehearsal, ceremony and reception, keep the advice in this article at the front of your mind. You will be surprised at how many people are willing to help you enjoy your wedding day.

[1152] Molecular Genetics of Uterine Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor.
Amy Yi-Pei Yang, Danielle Lu, Yi-Fang Liu, Lora Hedrick Ellenson. Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York, NY
Background: The admixture of carcinomatous (CC) and sarcomatous components (SC) in uterine malignant mixed mullerian tumor (UMMMT) has raised questions regarding its histogenesis. Studies favor a monoclonal epithelial origin with metaplastic sarcomatous elements. However, its molecular pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Recent studies have shown that p16 and p53 are overexpressed concordantly in CC and SC, and microsatellite instability (MSI) has been found in 5- 23%. To date an analysis of PIK3CA, the most frequently mutated oncogene in uterine endometrioid carcinoma, has not been reported in UMMMT.
Design: Paraffin-embedded archival tissue of 35 UMMMT, 10 leiomyosarcoma (LMS), and 8 low grade stromal sarcoma (LGSS) was utilized in this study. Immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of p16, p53, MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and MSH6 was performed. For p16 and p53, a score of 0 to 12 was calculated as the product of intensity (0 to 3+) and percentage (1 = 1-10%, 2 = 11-50%, 3 = 51-80%, 4 = > 80%). For mutational analysis, neoplastic tissue was microdissected, and DNA was extracted. Exons 9 and 20 of PIK3CA were amplified and directly sequenced. In addition, 20 UMMMT cases were analyzed for PTEN mutations and MSI (10 of which were included in the 35 cases used in the IHC analysis).
Results: P16 expression was seen in 23 of 34 (68%) of CC and 30 of 33 (91%) of SC. 12 of 35 (34%) UMMMT showed significantly less p16 expression in CC (score = 3.33) than SC (score = 9.83) (P = < 0.0001), compared to LMS (7.8) and LGSS (3.38). P53 expression was seen in 19 of 35 (54%) of CC and 18 of 33 (55%) of SC in UMMMT with no difference between the two components. Out of the 12 cases with loss of p16 in CC, 9 (75%) had low p53 expression. 12 out of 35 cases (34%) showed complete loss of p53 expression in both CC and SC. 5 of 35 UMMMT (14%) showed loss of MLH1 and PMS2 expression, and no loss was seen in LMS or LGSS. 8 out of 20 (40%) cases showed PTEN mutations that were identical in CC and SC. Currently, no mutations have been identified in PIK3CA, but these studies are ongoing.
Conclusions: The high concordance rate between CC and SC with regards to PTEN mutations, p53 expression, MSI, and DNA MMR immunostaining provide further evidence that the two components are of monoclonal origin. Although previous studies have found concordance of p16 expression in the two components we found a statistically significant difference in p16 expression. This finding suggests that specific biomarkers may provide insight into the divergent nature of the two components and the molecular underpinnings of this aggressive malignancy.

Getting paid to donate blood sounds interesting. There are so many questions when it comes to donating blood for money, such as, can I get paid to donate blood?, where can I get paid to donate blood?, how much money do you get for donating blood? and so on. But what is the truth here, can you even give blood in order to get money?…
Can I Get Paid For Donating Blood?
Well, unfortunately in the US, paid blood donations are not a viable option. That's because according to studies volunteer blood donors provide a safer blood supply for transfusion purposes, so the FDA doesn't allow paid blood donations to be used for transfusion purposes.
And so, not many blood donation centers actually offer incentives for donating blood. Though, most donation centers will give you at least a T-short or something like that as a reward.
Having said that, you can still get paid for donating blood, well, the plasma in your blood to be exact. Yes, you can get paid to donate blood plasma. the reason for that is because plasma can be treated for safety in such ways that is not possible with blood cells. So, that is why the FDA doesn't have any regulations against paid plasma donations.
Plasma is extracted from your blood using the apheresis method. It's then treated and processed into drugs by pharmaceutical companies. These drugs are usually used to develop treatments to help people suffering from immune deficiency related diseases fight their disease.
So, in a sense, you can still get paid to donate blood, but it's actually the plasma in your blood that is used. Non the less, it's an easy way to get some fast cash while helping to treat other people with immune deficiency related diseases.
Where Can You Get Paid To Donate Blood?
If you are serious about donating blood for money, you will have to find a donation center near you. You can find them by simply searching online or by contacting your local hospitals. Once you have found the donation center, you will have to make an appointment.
How To Donate Blood?
On the day of the appointment, you will be required to take a quick physical test to ensure you are healthy enough to give blood. Once that's done, they draw your blood, extracting the plasma from it and pumping back your blood into your veins. Donating blood can take about 45 minuets or so.
How Much Money Do You Get For Donating Blood?
You can expect to be paid somewhere around $30 for each blood donation. But be careful not to donate too frequently, as it can have some health hazards. That is why most donation centers have a waiting period between each donation.
So, as you can see, you can not actually get paid for donating blood per se, but you can donate the plasma in your blood and make some fast cash that way. If you are tight on cash and don't mind helping a fellow human being, then you might want to consider donating blood for money.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder that impacts the thyroid gland and causes an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Common symptoms of Hashimoto's thyroiditis are weight gain, fatigue, depression, and lack of well-being. If you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis you become likely to have other diseases such as lupus, vitiligo, rheumatoid arthritis, or pernicious anemia, you can become prone to be affected by oral lichen planus inflammation in the mouth which may lead to lesions. Lichen planus and Hashimoto's thyroiditis are found more in women than men.
Research published in the Journal of Clinical Oral Investigations indicates that Hashimoto's thyroiditis may be more common in patients suffering from oral lichen planus than the general population. While the research showed no definitive reason why they coexist, it did indicate that patients often have Hashimoto's thyroiditis before they start experiencing oral lichen planus. Their research included patients receiving thyroxine treatment as well as patients receiving no treatment and showed that thyroid medication does not reduce the chance of having lichen planus.
Autoimmune thyroid disease can cause skin problems such as vitiligo and lichen planus is another skin condition that Hashimoto's patients should be aware of.

Though the Microsoft Office suite still drives the business world, aren't most consumers better off with something that costs a lot less -- or costs nothing at all?
Do I really need all those features? No. And so I've created my last document in Microsoft Word, a product I first began using 27 years ago.
Company says its upcoming Galaxy W, Galaxy M Pro, Galaxy Y, and Galaxy Y Pro will come with Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread.
CNET offers its first impressions of the Boost Mobile's newest Android smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Prevail.
A support page for an Android 2.2 update has gone live, indicating the carrier should be issuing an announcement in short order.
ThinkFree Office has a new Flash-powered document viewer that lets you scope out documents without opening them up in the editor.
Early numbers show lackluster sales for Microsoft's Office 2010--at least when compared to its predecessor. Why? Bad timing, not enough features.
ThinkFree announces the availability of an office suite for Netbooks but faces many competitors in the market.
If you can get by with the basics, you can get your work done in a browser-based word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, or other application.
CNET's Donald Bell reflects on seven days spent with the Archos 5 Android Internet tablet, outlining his favorite features, as well as some disappointments.

Talk About Local Un-Conference 2010
We are pleased to announce that the Talk About Local Un-Conference 2010 will be held on Saturday 17 April at Old Broadcasting House in Leeds. Old Broadcasting House is an excellent venue in Central Leeds, in the Civic Quarter just off the Ring Road.
We are delighted that this event will be in partnership with The Guardian's Local initiative
As in Stoke-on-Trent in October, we will be using the Un-Conference format and we hope to have some of the very best hyperlocal publishers and special guests attending on the day.
After the success of the Pork Pie rounders, arranged by our own Nicky Getgood, there is a rumor that a skool sports day is being planned for one of the sessions, more than that we can't yet announce, yet….
50 Tickets will be available on EventBrite from 1400 today (8 February) with further tickets being made available after we have ensured that local bloggers in Yorkshire and the North East have got their tickets.
We will be publishing updates at http://talkaboutlocal.org and on Twitter @talkaboutlocal or you can search Twitter for TAL10 to see what other people are saying the Un-Conference Google Group is reopened for you to start discussing and planning what you hope to gain from the event.
Talk About Local Un-Awards
The glittering Talk About Local Un-Awards ceremony will take place on Saturday evening after the Un-Conference at a venue yet to be confirmed. As you will no doubt remember we were going to hold the Un-Awards in Birmingham earlier in the year, but after much procrastination and it being left on a low light we decided that it made logistical sense for us to hold it in conjunction with the Un-Conference.
Tickets for the the Un-Awards will be available on Eventbrite as soon as the venue is confirmed.
