While the giants of Australian retail have been slow to respond to online competition, local shoppers are looking for value on overseas websites.
Here, CHOICE checks out:
According to Myer CEO, Bernie Brookes, over the next three to five years the top 10 internet sellers in the Australian market will be dominated by the existing bricks-and-mortar retailers such as Myer, David Jones and K-Mart. Yet consumers don't seem to share Brookes' confidence, as they continue to bypass the websites of the major Australian retailers and buy from specialised e-tailers, Australian parallel importers or directly from overseas sites. In 2010-11, online sales for David Jones and Myer accounted for just 0.2% and Harvey Norman less than 0.1% of all retail sales, while international sites have held onto a 27% share of online sales since a major boost in growth in late 2010.
The relatively low costs of establishing an online retail presence ensure strong competition and low profitability that Australian retailers have been reluctant to embrace. As part of their push into the online marketplace, companies including Harvey Norman, Myer and David Jones banded together to form the Fair Imports Alliance, essentially a lobby group with the aim of reducing the GST threshold on imported goods below its current level of $1000.
However, an IbisWorld report on online shopping contends the debate instigated by the Fair Imports Alliance has succeeded only in making consumers aware of the cost savings available online. Online sales grew 26% in the year to October 2012 compared with only two per cent for the traditional retail sector, however the retailers leading the Fair Imports Alliance missed out on much of the online growth as their websites don't even rate in the top 10 in the online retail market.
With Australians paying up to 50% more than shoppers in the US for IT hardware and software, a 10% GST surcharge on overseas products is going to make little difference. Additionally, a Treasury taskforce report found the expense of collecting GST on imported goods below $1000 would be higher than the revenue earned. Lowering the low-value threshold (LVT) for imported goods could also result in longer delivery times, additional costs such as customs duties and Australia Post processing fees, and possibly administrative work for consumers such as Customs declaration forms.
Your rights online are covered by the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) in the same way that you're covered when you walk into a store off the street. However, these provisions are difficult to enforce in other jurisdictions, and the ACCC advises it may be difficult to enforce the consumer protection laws of other countries on your behalf.
Manufacturers and distributors such as Maxwell, Sennheiser, Nikon and Nintendo exploit this cross-border confusion. To protect their supply lines and facilitate the price discrimination between Australia and overseas, they all note that there may be no recourse to their manufacturer warranties if the product is not purchased in Australia.
As an example, the warranty for photographic equipment distributor Maxwell states it "does NOT provide guarantees or rights to consumers who have purchased goods from online vendors based overseas". It goes on to claim the ACL "provides no protection for such overseas-sourced transactions to Australian consumers".
However, as CHOICE noted in our submission to the IT Price Inquiry, this is not strictly correct. "Australia's consumer protection laws provide recourse for online shoppers irrespective of whether the seller is based in Australia or overseas," we argued. "The enforcement of these laws may be more difficult to pursue when the seller is located overseas." Furthermore, the ACL can be pursued against parallel importers in Australia such as kogan.com.au and dstore.com, regardless of where the products are sourced from.
Australian Consumer Law does not apply:
Our analysis of some major domestic and overseas websites has found the return policies offered aren't necessarily different to their Australian-based competition. The websites we scanned offer returns for faulty goods, and many extend this to "change of mind" purchases, which is not an ACL requirement, although return postage is generally payable by the consumer for such returns.
Hong Kong-based site dx.com provides an Australian address to which customers can return faulty goods, and offers reimbursement for shipping costs when the good is faulty or the site made an error (such as sending out the wrong product). But for products subject to a manufacturer's warranty period, such as some cell phones or laptops, the customer is obliged to pay the shipping costs themselves for return to Hong Kong. Under the ACL, if the item needed to be delivered, the seller should arrange for this to be returned.
However, return policies in contradiction to ACL can also be found on Australian sites. On dstore.com, for example, they state the following with regards to manufacturer's warranties: "Warranty claims are handled by the manufacturer directly, so please contact them immediately an issue arises [sic.] and follow their returns policy and instructions". Under the ACL, the seller may send the goods to the manufacturer for diagnosis or repair, but they can't force you to deal with the manufacturer directly.
In general, the larger reputable websites we looked at have fair return policies and secure online credentials regardless of whether they're based here or overseas. However, a recent survey commissioned by NSW Fair Trading found only 52% of a representative sample of small to medium businesses in NSW published returns policies online, and 48% did not use a secure webpage for payments or collecting customer information. So, regardless of whether you're dealing with an Australian or overseas business, always check the site's contact details and refund policy, and read any buyer reviews.

(AP) — Heath Bell is one of the last closers anyone would expect to give up consecutive ninth-inning home runs. Then again, it's been that kind of a few weeks for the San Diego Padres.
Chris Young and Lyle Overbay homered off Bell to force extra innings, then Joe Thatcher walked Overbay on four pitches with the bases loaded to bring home the winning run in the 10th and give the Arizona Diamondbacks a 6-5 victory. Bell, with his fifth blown save in 41 tries, had allowed only two home runs all season.
"He's got a very high percentage, one of the highest in the game over the last three years," San Diego manager Bud Black said. "It happens to the best of them."
The Padres have lost 16 of 19 overall. At Chase Field, they've dropped 20 of 24.
"We do play hard," Black said. "We go at it every night. I am extremely proud of the effort each and every night. The last couple of weeks have been tough. They just haven't resulted in wins. As long as we keep fighting some things will go our way."
Arizona's ninth-inning uprising came seconds after the big screen showed Luis Gonzalez's ninth-inning bloop single against Mariano Rivera that gave Arizona its World Series triumph and the state's only major professional sports championship a decade ago. That team was honored in a pre-game ceremony, a group that included Overbay, a Diamondbacks rookie in 2001.
"Tonight was the perfect night to play the game that we played," Young said. "You know, sold-out crowd, just all the energy from the 2001 championship team being here, it was amazing."
The Diamondbacks stretched their franchise-record home winning streak to 15 games — the longest in the majors this season. They have won 16 of 19 overall.
It was the 42nd come-from-behind victory for the Diamondbacks, who widened their NL West lead over second-place San Francisco 9½ games after the Giants lost at home to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Milwaukee also lost, so Arizona moved a half-game ahead of the NL Central-leading Brewers for a possible home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
"To be able to hit two home runs of Heath Bell, has that ever happened in the ninth inning?" Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson asked. "We were very fortunate to come back on a guy that's so good, who has had so much success, yet we did it."
The Padres protested the game because on the game-winning, bases-loaded walk Miguel Montero, who was on second, did not touch third base. However, crew chief Tim Welke said that the applicable rule requires only that the batter who walked touch first and the runner on third touch home.
"We think that all runners have to touch each base," Black said, "so we filed a protest and it is in the hands of MLB at this point."
James Darnell had three RBIs, including his first big league home run for the Padres.
"It was a great moment but I wish I could have dome more to help the team win. maybe get a couple of more hits or do something else," he said. "You always want to win the ball game but for me personally, it was a great moment."
San Diego's Chris Denorfia had four hits in five at bats.
Daniel Hernandez (4-3) threw a scoreless 10th for the victory. Brad Brach (0-1) took the loss.
San Diego carried a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth but it evaporated in a hurry against Bell, who had given up two home runs all season.
Young hit a 1-1 pitch into the left field seats to make it 5-4. Overbay connected on an 0-2 pitch to the opposite field, the ball barely clearing the fence in left field for his first home run since signing with Arizona as a free agent on Aug. 13.
Bell said that Overbay "probably used the speed of my pitch" to get the power he needed.
"He got good wood on it," Bell said. "I went inside, then back away. I thought it was a pretty good pitch. It was a pretty good pitch for him to hit out apparently."
In the 10th, Justin Upton drew a one-out walk from Brad Brach, then Miguel Montero singled to put runners at first and third. Geoff Blum was walked intentionally to bring up Young, who struck out on a 3-2 pitch. Bud Black brought in Thatcher, a sidearm-throwing lefty, to face the left-handed hitting Overbay, who walked on four pitches.
"I was disappointed in myself," Thatcher said. "That was definitely unacceptable."
Tim Stauffer threw 5 1-3 effective innings for San Diego and got an RBI on a suicide squeeze bunt but no decision.
Notes: The leadoff batter reached base safely for San Diego in five of the first six innings and two of them scored. ... The Padres 2B Gonzalez made a leaping grab to rob Aaron Hill of a base hit in the first. ... Arizona is 24 games above .500 for the first time since Aug. 4, 2002. ... Rookie Josh Colmenter goes for his 10th victory for Arizona and San Diego sends left-hander Wade LeBlanc (2-5) to the mound in the finale of the four-game series on Sunday. ... The teams have three games remaining against each other next weekend in San Diego. ... The Diamondbacks' home winning streak is the longest in the majors since 2004.

We are now able to offer our customers a complete range of thicknesses (20-100mm) of Polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam to suit any application and volume requirements. FOAMtech PIR boards are of particular benefit where insurance companies require that the insulation within a curtain walling system achieves a higher fire performance. Our product has been tested at Warringtonfire and achieved a Class 1 Surface Spread of Flame (BS 476: Part 7: 1997). Another advantage in using FOAMtech PIR is that clients can avoid the handling and weight problems associated with using fibrous insulation products.
FOAMtech is the official sales partner of BASF in the UK for sales of its Styrodur® C range of insulation products.
Styrodur® C conforms to building standards all over Europe and fulfills the demands of different climatic conditions. Styrodur® C is environmentally friendly: it is free of ozone-depleting CFC, HCFC and HFC and achieves a Global Warming Potential (GWP) value of one.
Styrodur® C insulation is therefore not only green in appearance but in its credentials and when used in the construction of new homes will ensure that the required credit is achieved as per the Code of Sustainable homes which in April 2007 replaced Ecohomes for the assessment of new housing in England.
The Code for Sustainable homes provides a comprehensive measure of the sustainability of new homes, ensuring that sustainable homes deliver real improvements in key areas such as carbon dixide emissions and water use. The Government's ambition for the Code is that it becomes the single national standard for the design and construction of sustainable homes, and that it drives improvements in home building practice.

I'm looking for ideas for projects that I can do on my own, that involve either calculus or differential equations. Something so I can actually use what I've learned to produce results. Maybe, programming ideas, or ... I don't know.
Some project that shows that what I know actually matters and isn't just for solving contrived problems that only matter on the page right in front of me.
I need a reminder of that.
If anyone has any links to interesting problem sets (if such a thing exists), I'd like to see them.

At Lorenzo's most recent work experience at MassHousing Finance Agency he worked on two major technology projects. First, the upgrade of MHFA's workstations to Windows 7. In executing this project Lorenzo gained valuable knowledge of large-scale computer networks, while progressing ahead of schedule.
Lorenzo's previous experience as an intern at New England Center for Arts and Technology, a new non-profit organization providing education programs to disadvantaged adults and after school programs to at-risk youths, allowed him to analyze and implement CRM solutions. Additionally evaluating hardware that best meet the needs of the organization, participating in board meetings by presenting updates on project-based assignments and the creating an internal system for tracking students through the application process to record various program admittance rates.
From July to December 2012, Lorenzo has been involved in Wentworth's Accelerate program, a business incubator competition that grants funding for new ventures up to $10,000. Lorenzo has developed an idea from formation, to creating business and marketing plans, bringing together a diverse team and consulting with lawyers and industry professionals.
As a student at Wentworth, Lorenzo was chosen to be on an advisory team for the Wentworth Business Management Speaker Series tasked with advising the resident executive, to assisting with events.
Lorenzo also has experience in industrial design. This training and attention to details and knowledge of Adobe Suite programs as well as others has helped him in his business management track in creating organised and easy to understand papers and presentations.

Heather Mills has debuted her eco-friendly clothing line, Be@One, a collection which some critics are describing as "Austin Powers" couture.
Take a look at the runway images in this gallery and you'll understand why. While the former wife of Paul McCartney had a sincere and honorable goal in mind—to re-invent and recycle old materials and pieces into new and "highly-wearable" designs—she fell flat.
Instead, Heather Mills created a collection of bizarre, mismatched and often tasteless items—including corsets, slashed jumpers, and a flamboyant ruffled dress—that seemed to take inspiration from the 60s-themed film "Austin Powers" and, quite frankly, clowns.
According to the UK's Daily Mail, "In addition to the garish corset dress and clown trousers, Heather has designed a recycled white lace evening gown, which looks more like a bedraggled wedding dress. She's also turned out a figure-frumping black knee-length jumpsuit, which is slashed from thigh to knee."

geographical name \ˈgär\Definition of GAR
Variants of GAR
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Any of several large North or Central American fishes of the genus Lepisosteus. They are related to the bowfin and date back to the Eocene Epoch. Gars are confined chiefly to fresh water, though some species enter brackish or salt water. They frequently bask at the surface in sluggish waters and commonly breathe atmospheric air. Their jaws and face form a sharp-toothed beak, and their body is encased in an armour of diamond-shaped, thick scales. Their eggs are toxic to predators. They are highly voracious predators, with long rows of needlelike teeth. The alligator gar of the southern U.S. reaches a length of about 10 ft (3 m) and is one of the largest freshwater fishes.

Lamm spends the next few weeks defending his comments. He explains that he was paraphrasing philosopher Leon Kass, insists that he was misquoted, and denies making any specific reference to the elderly or terminally ill having a duty to die. Meanwhile, other Lamm-isms draw fire, including his statement that it doesn't make sense to spend $10,000 a year teaching mentally retarded children to "roll over." All the publicity earns him a guest shot on the Today show and an invitation to write an article for Playboy on America's future, which he does, outraging feminists.
Shrugging off the controversies he's courted, the governor shows the spunk of Teddy Roosevelt by turning on the siren in his state car and chasing down a drunk driver in downtown Denver. A strident critic of bilingual education, Lamm has trouble mustering enough Spanish to tell the offender to stay put until the police arrive.
Clearly frustrated with the scope of his office, Lamm publishes two more policy books and a political "thriller," 1988, co-authored by media consultant and jogging buddy Arnold Grossman. The novel offers unthrilling prose (opening line: "So this is what it's like, getting shot by someone who wants you dead"--better than getting shot by someone who wants you alive?), vanilla sex scenes (two political operatives make love "without caveat") and a plot strictly from hunger: Popular former Texas governor bolts his party, runs for president as an independent and pushes an anti-immigration platform that's actually a front for corrupt oilmen and Palestinian terrorists. The governor's aide muses: "Although victory still seemed unlikely, it was clear that the American electorate was as close to being ready for an alternative candidacy as it would ever be."
Lamm's final months as governor are tainted by revelations concerning his "preferred client" relationship with penny-stock kingpin Meyer Blinder. Combining the financial acumen of Hillary Rodham Clinton with the selective forgetfulness of Ronald Reagan, Lamm admits that he invested $5,000 with Blinder and made $20,000--then remembers it was actually a profit of $50,000. Like Warren G. Harding, Lamm goes to bat for his friends, however unsavory: He quietly promotes Blinder's efforts to open a casino in Nevada while publicly denouncing efforts to legalize gambling in Colorado.
Taking a cue from Woodrow Wilson, Lamm retreats to academia to prep for his run at the White House. He and Grossman publish another presidential potboiler, A California Conspiracy. The obligatory sex scenes are more lurid than those in 1988 ("Cynthia guided his organ, which seemed to be near bursting, between her buttocks, so that he could enter her from the rear"); one steamy hot-tub liaison ends in murder. Most intriguing, though, is the strangely prescient political subtext: Young, charismatic California governor Terry Jordan is considering a run at the presidency, urged on by a wacky billionaire who wants to be governor. Turns out the billionaire is mixed up with Japanese fanatics and must snuff them out one by one before gracefully diving off the Golden Gate Bridge.
Elder statesman Lamm attends the opening ceremonies for C-470, a suburban beltway symbolic of Denver's sprawling growth. Fifteen years earlier, Lamm had vowed to kill the project with a "silver stake."
Lamm returns to the political arena, announcing his candidacy for U.S. Senate. Once considered a shoo-in for the post, he's now hampered by his association with American Water Development Inc., a company bent on sucking water out of the San Luis Valley to further more urban growth, and by his increasingly alarmist statements about immigration, welfare mothers and the disabled. Environmentalists squirm over the AWDI connection; Hispanic activists actively campaign against him. He loses the Democratic primary but vows to support the victor, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, who waits until he's comfortably in office before switching his allegiance to the Republican Party.
The makeover of the candidate is complete. Lamm becomes vice-chairman of the National Alumni Forum, a group dedicated to fighting political correctness on campuses across the country. Among the NAF's "bipartisan" national council and advisors are several prominent conservatives: Lynne Cheney, Colorado senator Hank Brown, Irving Kristol, James Q. Wilson, Leon "Duty to Die" Kass... and a wild card named Dick Lamm.
Time reports that Lamm is also meeting with Gary Hart, John Anderson, Bill Bradley, Paul Tsongas and other past presidential hopefuls and also-rans--the so-called "gang of seven"--to explore the prospect of launching a third party. Lamm denies the magazine's speculation about the group fielding its own candidate, though, telling reporters he doesn't want to split the Democratic Party. "I don't want to have the defeat of Bill Clinton on my conscience," he says.
Not to worry.

text: I'm often referred to as a dinosaur, however, I feel that technology in the classroom is a great idea. The problems that arise are. Where does the money come from for the devices, the I-pods, the computers, the smart phones? Are students expected to provide their own devices? What about training for staff, do they all get it, or some chosen ones or do only those who feel creative get the opportunity? When does the training take place? Do staff get time off from their classroom duties to learn how to use this stuff?

Take a look at my CV.
This one sounds like a backing track for a game.
Some kind of acid sounding sounds.
Just before midnight, September 3rd 2014: Not tired enough to sleep and not awake enough to do something useful. This is between one and three tracks in one. Couldn't decide what parts I liked the most so just kept all.
Saturday February 19th 2011: I just felt like playing some tunes and this is what it sounded like.
This is a mix I recorded to promote a club I was running. It was recorded in late 2005.
A short house mix I recorded on November 6th of 2009.

Because it houses our clairvoyant abilities, people often identify the brow, or third-eye, chakra as our bodies' main psychic center. This is incorrect; indeed, the throat chakra, which houses the abilities of clairaudience, clairscent, and clairgustance, is the true psychic center of the body. Anysia Kiel, author of Discovering the Medium Within, discusses these psychic abilities and the importance of a balanced and empowered throat chakra.

Sorry to start a whole separate post on this, but what the heck - if there can be a "Where's Kitster" campaign, then maybe there's room for another obscure Star Wars-based request!
I respectfully request that the fine folks at Fantasy Flight finally flesh out stats and background descriptions for two ships from the live action Star Wars films that - despite being at least partially constructed in full scale with the assistance of the ILM teams - have yet to be defined in the EU:
Noa Briqualon's scout ship and the Towani starcruiser, both from the much-maligned Ewok Movies.
Yes, I know - the Ewok movies bring back painful memories to many people (including myself), but these two ships actually were pretty well designed - particularly Noa's ship. The artist Allen Nunis, who penned a large amount of illustrations in the old West End Games materials, included a couple illustrations of ships based on Noa's ship design, but the ship itself never got the background or game stats that I think it deserved.
Anyway, if the talented and creative staff of FFG could include these ships and/or ship types in a future supplement, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for considering my obscure, but sincere, request!

For various reasons, January 2014 has not been our month. I woke up on Feb. 1st breathing a sigh of relief. January felt like we were being buffeted from one major crisis to another, all while I was sick with my umpteenth round of tonsilitis and fighting milk supply issues. Hopefully, I shaved off a little bit of time in Purgatory? New year's goals and resolutions? I didn't even have a chance to … [Read more...]
Goals for the New Year
So, we're halfway through January and I'm just now solidifying my goals for the new year. Clearly we should begin with with "stop being such a procrastinator, Haley!" Anyhow, I've never spent much effort on resolutions at the start of a year, but I've really been reflecting on what I want 2013 to look like. I've been very inspired by all the great posts about goal-making, particularly Mandi's of … [Read more...]

A couple of notes worth passing along this morning. ...
--- First, a few of you have asked which recruits actually made it to Seattle for UW's Junior Day.
One thing to remember is there's no "official'' list made available to media, so it's mostly a matter of just seeing who is there, the recruiting sites figuring it out, etc.
But a partial list of those who were there includes all five of the players who have committed --- Lakes WR Sammie Long, Tumwater DT Jaimie Bryant, Bellevue LB Sean Constantine, Santa Margarita (Calif.) C Dane Crane and Poway (Calif.) CB Derek Babiash.
Scout.com reported that Crane was one of four Santa Margaria players who visited UW this weekend, including QB/athlete Johnny Stanton. The others were DB Connor O'Brien and offensive tackle Riley Sorenson.
O'Brien is expected to announce his choice of college later today with Scott Enyeart reporting that UW is a heavy favorite. Enyeart has also reported that UW now is recruiting Stanton as an athlete and not a quarterback, and that might impact his decision as, like most quarterbacks, it sounds like he wants a shot to play that position first.
Others known to have been there were:
--- RB Justin Davis of Stockton, who has said he will announce his decision on May 17, with USC still regarded as the favorite;
--- WR Sebastian LaRue of Santa Monica, who according to a report on Scout.com will apparently will wait a while to decide.
--- OG Brayden Kearsley of Beaverton, Ore., who is a commit to BYU but continuing to look around;
--- DT Elijah Qualls of Petaluma, Calif., who according to Rivals.com is still early in the process of making a decision;
--- DE Joe Mathis of Upland, Calif., who also is early in the process;
--- WR Darrell Daniels of Oakley, Calif., who told Scout.com he's unlikely to make a decision until after his high school season;
--- WR Demorea Stringfellow of Moreno Valley, Calif., who told Scout.com he is also still early in the process (and thought to have UCLA at the top of his list).
Other in-state players reported to be there included OL Mason Friedline of King's High (Worthen says UW is recruiting him as a center and that Colorado and ASU are his two other heavy suitors at the moment); LB Myles Jack of Bellevue (he says UW is in the lead for Constantine but Jack will be a battle, with UCLA "really big'' on his list right now); and S Tere Calloway of Seattle Prep, who does not yet have a UW offer.
One player it was thought might make the trip but didn't was OT Nico Falah of Bellflower, Calif..
Also in attendance were a number of 2012 signees, notably QBs Cyler Miles and Jeff Lindquist and safety Shaq Thompson.
--- Good overview from ESPN.com of where Chris Polk might fit into the backfield with the Eagles.
--- Interesting 2013 mock draft from CollegeFootballNews.com that has Utah DT Star Lotulelei going first overall.
--- Also, interesting list of top offensive and defensive prospects. Austin Seferian-Jenkins is listed as a No. 2 pick (not in 2013 as he wouldn't be eligible until 2014 --- they are simply listing all college players by potential future value), Desmond Trufant listed as a second-rounder and Josh Shirley a third-rounder.
--- You can get a look at the Athlon's cover with Keith Price among those pictured in this story debating whether USC or Oregon will win the conference in 2013.
--- Bud Withers continues his Pac-12 spring recaps with Arizona State.
--- Good roundup of all the weekend's spring scrimmages around the Pac-12, including UW's, from ESPN.com.
--- LostLetterman ponders a scenario where Pete Carroll is coaching Cal in 2013.
--- Christian Caple with a few links around the conference.
--- Good stuff from SI.com's Stewart Mandel on how a college football playoff system might develop.
--- Also, lots of interesting thoughts here on the NFL Draft from Bruce Feldman.
All for now.

"These are good, but they definitely taste vegan. They were pretty dense and cakey. Even my mom, who loves everything called a brownie, wasn't a realy fan. They weren't terrible, they just didn't taste much like a normal brownie. It was a decent recipe, but not a keeper."
"Amazing! I just made up a batch, And ohhh my goodness, they're terrific. My store didn't have dark fudge cake mix, so i went with devils food. Maybe it's just me, but they do taste like real oreos! My icing turned out very crumblyat first as well, but when I mixed it morethan I thought I should have and it was perfect. It did make a LOT of icing, ..."
"Incredible! This is one of those great recipes that is so adaptable, you can add almost anything and it'd be just as good, or better! I added (lots!) of garlic, some fresh italian herbs, and some shredded carrots, with marinara sauce and fresh mozzerella on top. YUM! My mom even loved this, and she *hates* eggplant! Definitely going to reccommend ..."
"This was the first think I made in my new food processor and it was much too spicy for my taste buds. Next time, I would probably add some garlic &lime juice and use less jalapenos. Other than that, it was decent."
"3 words. Mm Mm Good!"
"it was ok, but it could have been better... but maybe it didnt tase as good because of the diet im on... i had crustless bread with fat free milk... so thats probablly the reason..."
"WOW!!! this was a wonderful recipe. I thought it wouldnt be because there was raw asparagus but it was amazing!"
"It was very good but it wasnt vegan... I was cooking for my uncle and I was looking at zaar 4 a recipe... again it was very good but not vegan... vegan is ONLY vegetables, no cheese, meat, or pastas... come to think of it, this wasnt even vegetarian... anyway, it was wonderful!"
"ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!! i actually tried it twice, the 1st time wuz as the recipe said... it wuz OK... da 2nd time, i cut calories by havin 99% fat free chiken, fat free butter, fat free sour cream, low fat mayo and fat free cheese... it wuz SUPRISINGLY so much BETTER!!! weird huh?!?!?!?"

Congress Gives $5.9 Million to Former Michelle Obama Co-Worker
Keith Koffler of White House Dossier reports that $5.9 million in tax dollars are headed the way of a long-time Obama buddy, now heading up an organization originally launched by Michelle Obama when she was an executive at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
The Department of Health and Human Services last week announced it had awarded a $5.9 million grant to a University of Chicago Medical Center program tied to Michelle Obama and run by Eric Whitaker, one of President Obama's closest friends.

First off, is there a place online, or could you tell me what you would look for to check the quality/condition of a used semi-auto and of a used revolver? Also, is there someplace online where I could look up what the basic price for a certain used pistol would be?

A man who showed up at court in Springfield, Mass. to deal with a traffic ticket mistakenly wound up on a jury.

The man's ability to understand the evidence and arguments was held to be limited. Why was this oheld to be an impediment? Better understanding than the usual jury member not removed for cause?

The Gusto Orcinus E-Bike might actually be one of the upcoming versatile two-wheeler concepts that performs two supplementary functions well. Not only does the innovative conveyance boast the ability to pack up completely, it also helps the rider along with a powerful assistive pedaling system.
Sheng-Chieh Chang's invention looks like a sturdy full-size electric bicycle, so it's a surprise to discover that it doubles as a folding bicycle. These features are particularly practical for its intended storage in cramped Chinese apartments and its use in busy city streets.
The orca whale was the inspiration for the aesthetics and the spirit of the Gusto Orcinus E-Bike. It affords its owner the freedom of getting from A to B whichever way he likes with the convenience of a truly accommodating conveyance.

text: Struggling heroically to break the bonds of cop-show cliches, Under Suspicion (CBS, Sept. 23, 9-10 p.m.) has a major asset in its star, Karen Sillas, who portrays the sole female detective on a northwestern city police force. I'm guessing that the primary reason Under Suspicion got on CBS' schedule is that it was sold as a high concept-''Prime Suspect with a sexy lead.'' But if Sillas as Rose Phillips wears tighter skirts and higher heels than Helen Mirren did in those great British TV mysteries, she subtly subverts TV's traditional notions of titillation in a new, exciting way. Sillas has thought through the way women present themselves in male-dominated work situations, and has arrived at a near-perfect blend of no-nonsense dignity and just-one-of-the- boys camaraderie. The result is something new in prime time, surrounded by the usual stuff. So far, Under Suspicion has been riddled with standard tough talk (Sillas has to say that a detective who committed suicide ''ate his gun'') and hokey dramatic situations that prompt banal threats (when Sillas challenges male authority, a cop rumbles, ''You're crossin' a line, lady''). The supporting cast is problematic too. The excellent actor Seymour Cassel is stuck in the tiresome role of Sillas' grumpy-but-good-hearted supervisor, and Philip Casnoff still harbors vestiges of his fine Frank Sinatra TV-movie impersonation from last season. Casnoff plays a noble Internal Affairs officer but murmurs his lines like Ol' Blue Eyes, which is disconcerting. Still, last week's two-hour premiere also culminated with one of the best- directed shoot-outs I've seen on television, made all the more exciting by the fact that it was Sillas' Phillips who was at the center of the biff-bang- pow climax. The promise of Under Suspicion cannot be denied. B+

Sounds great (well, except for missing the long safari ride, but I know exactly what you mean).
As promised, this will be Part III of my trip report. Sorry it has taken so long to finish my report, but have been so very busy since our return to reality. Theres not too much more to report other than I am still in the process of uploading all my pics. However, I thought I would add some thoughts about some of the other rides and attractions; excuse me if I ramble:
MKStill cannot get the DW to ride Splash Mountain, and I won't ride alone. She hates to get wet. Maybe someday I will be able to experience this WDW must ride. Speaking of getting wet, the third time we rode PoTC we got front row in a boat, but there was a few inches of water in the bottom, and we really got wet going down the ramp. DW was not amused. Philharmagic was awesome as usual. We were able to get good seats this time and the experience was so much better than sitting in the last rows. Poohs Playful Spot seemed really neat for the little ones, but was a little disappointed there were not more things to do. However, I am sure the DGS will like it when we visit in February. Loved the new Small World. The colors were so much brighter and sound was really improved. Did they always sing IASW in different languages on the ride? The clock in the queue area was really neat. Stichs Great Escape was not as bad as I thought it would be, but it is not as scary as AE was. If anything I would say it was kind of funny. Hated to see/hear, that Robin Williams voice for the robot in the pre-show was changed, but the pre-show was much better IMHO. They have indeed refreshed CoP, but the not too many guests were riding, even when it was pouring outside. WED way was working just fine. Cant see why they need to fix anything about it. Rode Buzz several times, but many of the cars need a touchup and the some of the guns did not work very well. DW found out she could score points by shooting the people in the cars ahead of us with her gun. There were very short lines for Dumbo, Teacups, and Indy 500. Rode the train around the MK several times. It's one of my favorite things to do, besides riding the monorail.
EPCOTIs it just me, or is Future World losing some of its magic? Innoventions was mostly empty. Hated to see the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire computers were gone. Spaceship Earth only broke down one time while we rode it. Seems like 90% of the guests headed to Soarin once they got into the park. Had no wait for Honey, but did have a 2 minute wait for Figment. With Living Seas and Wonders closed the only rides with long waits were Mission Space, Test Track, and Soarin. I was going to ride Soarin, but there were no FastPasses left and the wait was over 2 hours. I did get to sit in the Cadillac XLR ($70,000+) at Test Track. DW kept reminding me that's as close I'll ever get to driving one, but I can dream--can't I? We spent most of our time in World Showcase taking in the sights, sounds and smells. I love talking to the CMs about their home countries. Some of the members of the Drum & Fife are beginning to look like they were indeed around in 1776. The Voices of Liberty have several new members and a new director. It was good to see CM Arthur was alive and well at the Liberty Inn going about cleaning the tables, etc. We spent the afternoon of the 9th at the ESPN Club watching the Colts play. We sat with a young couple from Philly who were watching the Eagles play on the big screen.
MGMWatched the Muppets for the umpteenth time. I think its time for a new movie, but the picture was much brighter than usual. Perhaps they have cleaned it up. Didnt make it to the hot seat at WWTBAM, but had fun. Ate (only 20 minute wait for lunch) at the Sci-Fi for the first time. I could spend all day in there watching the old movie clips and drive-in commercials. We got a parking ticket, but the carhop took care of it for us, and I got my drivers license. Rode Star Tours for the first time in several years; seemed to be a lot milder than I remembered. Indiana Jones has a new Nazi mechanic. He didnt seem to be as mean as the guy who was there for years. DW mentioned the ABC Theater used to be her favorite place at MGM. Looks like they are going to tear it and Sounds Dangerous down soon for a new ride/attraction. Was very disappointed with the new animation tour, but liked the new interactive displays and the Disney Oscars, even if they were replicas. Had the best seats we ever had at Fantasmiccenter section and row M. However, it was windy that night and we got a lot of spray from the water screens. Did I mention the DW hates to get wet?
AKTarzan Rocks was a sweat box, but we had great seats. Thank goodness I brought my little battery fan with me. It saved the day. I noticed they were selling them at Wal-Mart for 50 cents. It is one item everyone should have when visiting WDW when its hot and humid. Didnt stay at AK very long as that was the day the DW was feeling the worst. I guess the heat didnt help either. We did see Bugs Life before we left and took the walking tour in Asia. DW was not up to the long Safari rideIfyouknowwhatImean?
Well, gang thats the end of my October trip report. I hope you enjoyed it. -30-

They call me "Nana"
Thanks for sharing and finishing up your trip for us!!!
Glad to hear of your trip. Sorry your DW got sick. That is pretty miserable. I too was very disappointed with the animation tour. The only part that was neat was the fact that one of the "animators" was wearing a Texas Ranger jersey so we "talked" to her through the window about them. Other than that, I was very unimpressed. The interactive portion where you can pick which character you are closest to was fun. My husband was Woody, my brother was the Beast (and he said he made things up-he didn't, he is a beast!) and for some reason it picked me out to be Maleficent.
That soon became a joke and my brother bought a Halloween pin with Maleficent. My DH traded a DWT pin with a CM for a--you guessed it, a Mallecifient pin. So now I wear my pin at school whenever I am in a Maleficentt pin and my students know to walk on eggshells with me or I will do mean things to them... HA.. Makes life so much more interesting!

Somehow yesterday, a conversation about shoes turned into me losing a bet. It went something like this…
Me: "Pack comfy shoes for Bloggers In Sin City."
Her: "But I have to wear heels, I'm 5'3″! How tall are you?"
Me: "I'm 5'4″ and a quarter. I wonder how tall so-and-so is?"
Her: "I think he's short."
Me: "I think he's tall. Place your bet. I say 5'11"."
Her: "I'll go with 5'8″. What are the terms of this bet?"
Me: "A postcard, or something equally lame."
Her: "And a blog shout out!"
And thus it was born… the most lame bet ever made. Congratulations Jolene, he's 5'9″, and your card is in the mail. ;)
