Best eye cream I have used. This brand is my new obsession...wow. This smoothes and primes the eye area...gorgeous consistency....has natural protein peptides....I don't have bags or wrinkles around eyes yet but sometimes in the morning my eyes are a little puffy or I get dehydration lines occasionally. Read my other reviews on this brand .... I doubt there would be many who would not be thrilled with these products, particularly those with oily skin who find many products either too rich and heavy or too unsubstantial...or just plain stripping to their skin. I am in love :)

Global consumer confidence ended 2014 with an index score of 96—a decline of two index points from the previous quarter, which comes after several quarters of positive momentum. The index, which has been on a slow and steady rise for about two years, is still above a pre-recession level of 94 from third-quarter 2007.
Health and wellness are hot topics around the globe, and they have been for years. Despite the immense amount of attention devoted to the topic, however, the obesity rate is high—and rising. The good news, however, is that consumers around the world are taking steps to take charge of their health.
Even though the market is challenging for retailers, some companies have been able to break away from the rest and grow rapidly. Their performance highlights the opportunity - even when things look bleak. Let's take a look at what these companies have done to succeed in a tough market.
We've just completed a year of transformation in the retail industry, and looking at 2015, it looks like change will remain constant. But change brings opportunity, even within the familiar. Where to begin? Look to the shelf.
If you want to understand the fundamental economic changes happening in Southeast Asia, a good place to start is Myanmar's biggest city, Yangon, on the shores of the Yangon River.
For over 50 years, there was only a single "app" for TV viewers. The sole function of that app—the cable or satellite company—was to stream premium video content. The facts of yesterday's TV viewing no longer hold. There are now many TV viewing apps available. Enter "the appification of TV."
Perceptions about private-label brands are favorable around the world, but value shares are not correspondingly distributed; they are much higher in developed regions like Europe, North America and Australia.
All established companies must address a key challenge: How to find the next disruptive innovation while reacting to the disruptive innovations of others. To use the language of this year's TIBCO conference, how can one "ride the disruption wave"? Mitch Barns explores three things he's found that can play a big role.
The problem with brand value is simple: no one agrees on it. The GE brand value, for example, in 2011, was variously estimated to be worth $30.5B, $42.8B, and $50.3B by different valuation services. So if valuations vary so wildly, how can CMOs and CFOs begin to understand the value they deliver with their marketing spending?
Global consumer confidence edged up one index point in the third quarter to a score of 98—up from 97 in the previous quarter and up two points from the start of the year. The index, which has been on a slow and steady rise since Q1 2012, has now exceeded a pre-recession level of 94 for three consecutive quarters.

Limestone Theatre Presents "Every Christmas Story Ever Told (and then some!)" |
Limestone College Theatre will end its fall season with the hilarious Christmas comedy Every Christmas Story Ever Told (and then some!) by Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald, and John K. Alvarez. The production will run Thursday, December 2nd through Friday, December 3rd in the Limestone Center Theatre (130 Leadmine Road). Curtain time both evenings is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for seniors (65-years-old and older) and students with valid school identification. Limestone students, faculty and staff will be admitted free with college identification. Tickets will be available for purchase at the door or can be reserved online . "Instead of performing Charles Dickens' beloved holiday classic for the umpteenth time, we chose this Every Christmas Story Ever Told because it truly is a madcap romp through the holiday season, including Christmas traditions from throughout the world, season icons from ancient times to topical pop-culture, and every carol ever sung," said Dr. Tim Baxter-Ferguson, Director of Theatre at Limestone and a cast member in the production." Joining Ferguson in the cast will be Jamie Grindstaff, a stalwart of Limestone Theatre productions, and Joey Mayberry, a Limestone junior majoring in theatre and native of Clover. All three actors will play dozens of classic characters including Scrooge, The Grinch, Linus, Santa, and Gustav The Green-Nosed Reingoat. |

Advice/suggestions requested from you experienced folks please? It's been 5 years since dog paws have tracked my floors but boy, the urge is upon me more and more lately. Especially so since I now volunteer at an animal rescue weekly. Thing is though, I now share 'home' with 2 cats one (2 yrs old) which reacts with calm and curiosity whenever I dogsit & the other which is 8- 10 years old & is a most finicky one. She disappears for a day but will come up from the basement after about 24 hours IF she can detect the dog I'm sitting is crated. Also This older one has lately become very clingy to me for some reason - I do see the dynamics between the 2 cats becoming more equalized lately. My house is just under 1000 sq,ft but I have a fenced yard. My dog was a shepard mix and the only pet at the time; I'd love another smart working dog one day. So, thoughts in mind: 1.Start by fostering a small mature dog that is "good" with cats. 2. Foster a 2+ month old pup that is "cat-sized" with no formed opinions on cats yet. The cats might feel less threatened by size which would increase unknowingly for them AND the dog would learn about cats. 3. Wait until that special dog (shepherd mix, etc.) shows up at a rescue and just speaks to me....then maybe I can get off the fence!! Several have passed me by already and I gritted my teeth......I love my cats endlessly, but miss so much that special something that a dog and human share. |

Cats will adapt easily to a new fur baby coming into the house,it may take awhile but they will adapt in time. I say go for it,get that shepherd mix you want so badly or another breed that needs a forever home. I swore after my last rottie died of cancer I would never get another dog, well that lasted all of 2 months when I got a call about a dog that needed a home and 9 months later we are a happy family. My older cat took to the new dog faster than I did LOL.. Good Luck and keep us posted. Christine |

Well, I disagree with christine. Your cats are not going to adjust quickly --indoor cats don't tend to. They will go through all of the annoying problems like peeing on your bed, etc. That said -- if you want a dog, go for it and just know that it might take many months for your cats to lovey up to that new family member. We now have 7 cats (three adults - four kittens/indoor-outdoor) and they were all used to dogs since we have one and our grandkids have several that they bring with them when they visit. So, when we brought a new dog into our family last week, the cats all just thought it was another friend that they could tease constantly. We did make sure when we adopted the new dog that he was used to having cats around and was good with them. I think that is something you want to consider --- dogs that are used to cats/other dogs/chickens/etc. will be more gentle with your cats. |
I vote for a combination of numbers 1 and 3. Wait until a special dog comes along who "speaks" to you, then offer to foster him on a trial basis with the option to adopt if your cats adapt well to him. I would NOT recommend adopting a puppy. Puppies are unknown quantities. You never know how they will respond to cats as mature adults, no matter how diligently you train them as puppies. To improve your odds of a happy canine integration into your family, adopt an adult dog with a known, peaceful cat history. I agree with carmen_grower. It's likely to take your cats some time, esp. the older cat, to accept a canine family member. Developing an outwardly friendly relationship with a dog may or may not ever happen. Laurie |
Find a dog that is known to ignore cats. My daughters friend got a dog (terrier mix) five months ago and their two resident cats now pretty much live in the basement. It is a shame because they were nice, friendly cats. The hyper dog is just too much for them. |
Cheryl, if you saw my post about possibly adding a new dog to our house, then you know I am probably not the right person to offer any advice! But I feel for you, because I also miss the special type of relationship you can have with a dog. Even though we've decided we need to wait a while, I waffle a lot between older dog and pup. I like the idea of getting a young, but grown dog who is through all the puppy stages and is ready for training and being a household dog. Unfortunately, most of the lab/lab mixes I see at rescues are not cat compatible, so I'm not certain that an older dog is going to be "it" in the end. Our last dog spent most of her time inside, and DH seems to think if we eventually adopt an older dog, it is probably going to prefer to be outside more of the time. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is something to take into consideration. We've had two puppies in the past, and while they are a lot of work, they did seem to become cat friendly rather easily. The cats may not reciprocate in kind, and that's a risk you have to decide you are willing to take. One trick that I think helps our cats cope is to give them high perches an spaces, where they can feel safe and watch what is going on at the same time. I found this to be important when our human toddler became a little too energetic for the cats. Ours have a floor to ceiling cat tree and they can get up all the way to the ceiling and just watch and adjust without fear of being threatened. I also cleaned off some spaces on closet shelves where they were welcome to hide and sleep- they loved that. What I found with the human baby situation was that the less of a mystery she was to them, the sooner they got bored and didn't feel threatened by her. The cats watched her for a while, got use to her noises from a vantage point where they felt safe, and then they began to mostly ignore her. Though a puppy or dog has the potential to be a pest, I am hoping that by giving the cats the upper hand of safety and observation sites, that they might adjust more quickly. Everything like this is great in theory though! Do you see many grown shepherds at rescues that are listed to be cat friendly? Since shepherds have a bit of a natural chase instinct, I would wonder about that. My mom got a part border collie at a shelter, and while she's a wonderful dog otherwise, if she sees a cat, she hunches to the ground and goes into that chase instinct. We had a lab/german shepherd who was very good with cats, though we got her as a pup. Good luck with your decision/search. My heart is right there with you. |
Hi Cheryl - If you are open to fostering, I think that's a really great way to test the waters! You'd be helping out a dog in need while not committing yourself to a lifetime of unhappiness if your cats totally reject the dog. There is a good possibility that your older cat will never adjust to a dog. Chances are if you are patient enough, you'll find that 'special dog' needing a foster home :). A puppy is going to view both of your cats as furry, four-legged playmates. I'd be hesitant that such an energetic little pup may drive your older cat into continuous hiding. |
I disagree totally about indoor cats not adjusting to a introduced dog. I have five totally indoor cats, and two years ago adopted a Boston /Sheltie mix. He was a little submissive coming into the house but there never was a problem with the cats ..ever from day one, and none of my cats except the oldest one had ever even seen a dog. My oldest was here when I had the greyhound, and she loved her. BTW Ziggy was 7 months old, not a small puppy, 20 lbs and completely housebroken. Fast forward two years later and in May we rescued a 3 year old purebred Dachshund from a kill shelter. Wally walked in ,the cats looked at him ,he looked at the cats and there has never been a problem. Ziggy occasionally will "play fight" with a few of the cats and they will play and then chase HIM if they're bored of it. Wally ignores them all. My advice would be to either foster the type of dog you want or wait till ones shows up. I wouldn't get a puppy. |

Gary has big plans for renovated Marquette Park Pavilion
By Michael Gonzalez Post-Tribune correspondent December 13, 2012 5:28PM

GARY — City officials have big plans for the newly renovated, 80-year-old Marquette Park Pavilion, the crown jewel of Marquette Park, the executive director said Thursday.
Hours before area dignitaries were scheduled to praise the $28 million renovation of the park, LaShawn Brooks gushed about the potential for the pavilion she now manages.
"We really want to just show the variety of things that can take place here," she said.
Local vendors, from jewelry and ceramics artisans to an author and publisher, set up tables to sell their wares to visitors, and others prepared to give tours of the building as part of an evening news conference.
Work on the park renovation, which included extensive work to the Octave Chanute Aquatorium, a play area, the oak savannah and other features of Marquette Park, lasted well beyond the original deadline, but a trip through the pavilion took visitors to another time.
Many of the details — 30 custom-made chandeliers in the ballroom, replicas of original bathroom hardware, a posh lounge, new windows allowing natural light to fill the rooms and the building's original earth tone color scheme — were specially ordered, which, along with an arson case early this year, caused some of the delay, officials have said.
The grounds are newly landscaped, and planners built a turning lane from Grand Boulevard into the pavilion's parking lot.
The idea was to return the building to its original splendor and draw more weddings and other events, Brooks said.
Plans also include bringing Broadway-level shows to the ballroom. In March, actor Ed Asner is scheduled perform as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the one-man show "FDR." More shows will come later in the year, Brooks said.
"Every Saturday from June through August, the ballroom is taken," she said of the facility's return as a hot spot for nuptials and other activities. "We see, in the future, for 2013, starting out with once-a-week evening meals."
Those dinners will be created by chef Cliff Rome, owner of Rome's Joy, a Chicago-based caterer and restaurateur. Rome also plans to offer cooking classes, using the spacious, newly restored kitchen.
The structure is one thing, but giving people a reason to drive to Miller is another, Rome said.
"The reality is they just don't build buildings like this anymore," he said, while awaiting crowds of visitors. "Good food is one of those integral parts, because through food, you're able to do things you couldn't accomplish otherwise."
"Food nourishes you, but it also brings people together, and people will drive to a place if they know there's a reason to go."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Cookie!
Facts about Cookie
- Breed: Boxer Mix
- Color: Brindle
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Cookie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Cookie is an 8 week old, female puppy. She looks like a boxer mix... except she is very very tiny. She will probably grow to be 30lbs or under. She has tiny paws and a small frame. She is brindle colored and very sweet and soft. She loves people and loves to sit in laps. She is good with dogs of all ages and sizes and can run with the biggest of them. Cookie is in need of a forever home. Please email email@example.com.
Other Pets at FOCHP
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cookie, a Tustin Boxer puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Tustin, or seeking a Boxer puppy from a breeder in Tustin.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tustin already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tustin breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tustin paves the way for another one to be saved.

Q. I don't have a printer!
A. You will need to address the situation. Here are some suggestions:
1. Talk to the IT people at your university - they probably have some network printers on the campus that you can access over the school's network. Once you can access a printer, then the program will print as stated.
2. Buy a cheap printer, used or new. They almost give them away these days, and someone probably has one laying around if you start asking.
3. Install a "virtual" pdf print engine on your computer. After you have installed Auf geht's!, whenever you get a print dialogue box (from any application) you select this virtual pdf engine as your printer, and get a pdf file saved to your computer. This file can then be taken (with a RAM stick, for example) to a computer with access to a printer, or emailed directly to your instructor.
Windows: There are a number of these virtual printers available. The main one is Adobe Acrobat, since they invented this format. One free program that seems to work well is Primopdf, which can be downloaded at http://www.primopdf.com. Naturally like any freeware, use it at your own risk. For more options, do a google search for virtual printers.
Mac Users: Mac OS X has the ability to create these pdf files built into every print dialog - go to the Finder's Help menu, and type in "Saving a document as a PDF file" for more information.

With Mother's Day comes the time to exalt all things Mammy. But you'll forgive us if we don't honor their sacrifice in a Hallmark kitty-cat, "I wuv you thiiiis much" kind of way. Take it from the Lotharios at GamesRadar: The highest compliment you can pay any woman is one pertaining to her physical attractiveness. Whoops, hollers and catcalls - ladies just can't get enough of it.
Above: Awww, a mother and n00born
We'll leave it Oprah to acknowledge the maternal contributions to child rearing. We just think it is of greater importance to let mommies know that we still appreciate their bodies in spite of being ravaged by the barbaric ritual of childbirth. Stretch marks, mood swings and breasts that produce dairy be damned - we're proud to say we'd still L. to F. these M.s on their day of days. Besides, after several years of blue ball gaming moments, it's nice to be able to put your chips on a dame scientifically proven to put out.
From: Final Fantasy X-2
Mother to: Vidina
First of all FF fans, let's get this out of the way. Tifa is NOT a mother. She's a caregiver. A glorified foster parent. She's also probably barren. So please, shake your suburban predilection to the Girl-Next-Door type, and pay some attention to that hot Goth chick eating lunch alone in the cafetoriom.
Beneath her surly disposition and black leather mummification, there's a pale and sultry vixen of the sexiest caliber waiting to be unbuckled. But after dispensing dolls of death in FFX, her maternity pants excluded her from the battle-fashion show that was FFX-2. For reasons beyond our comprehension, she inexplicably fell in love with the jock-tacular Wakka and squirted out a brat of her own.

Hope were not spoiling anything with this timely addition. Niko's emails to his mother could be the sweetest exchange ever committed to disc. True, we never see Mama Bellic, but if Niko is any indication, her slender figure and sharp cheekbones are the stuff of 'old country' legend.

Google "nursing school interview tips". It's at least a place to start. Also, look back and be sure to have an answer in mind for the behavior interview questions that have been posted on here. I'm in the same boat as you. I have no opportunity to do a mock interview, so I'm reading everything I can get my hands on. I also plan on making my friends give me a mock interview sometime next week. -
0Sep 5, '12 by Pleigh33He basically said to make a list of qualities I think our important for a nurse to possess and then have an example from my life where I demonstrated each quality. He also suggested being ale to tie in answers to the questions with how t applies to my being a good choice for the program. And he said not to wear anything distracting etc. there was a post of interview questions that qtqueen put up originally and I think it's on this thread now but it was originally on last semesters kennesaw thread (I think) but anyway every question he asked me was on that list. I think if you come up w answers to all of those you will do great! Good luck!
0Sep 6, '12 by trixjonesI signed up the first day it was available, and was very surprised they were offering Sunday interviews. I received a confirmation email, and also, on Owl Express, the date/time is confirmed. I'm wondering the same as Desir80's....there appears to be a lot of folks with interviews. It seems that everyone I have talked to has received an interview letter. I don't feel special anymore. LOL!
0Sep 7, '12 by Desir80'strixjones- that is exactly how I feel! Everyone that I know that applied to KSU 's nursing program got an interview. It it is strange. I am happy for everyone but on the same hand I feel that everyone that applied got an interview. lol
I wish I knew how many applicants applied for the spring semester and how many of those are getting interviewed.

If you had a choice would you choose Gold Dust or Perry's Gold? I have not seen them in person so I am not sure of the actual look and shape and size. What is your favorite? Thanks. |

'Gold Dust' for me, because it will keep it's special colour all year long and doesn't need that much space as the 'Perry's Gold' will need at a later age... |
- Posted by ingeborgdot 6 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 8, 12 at 14:25
Coming from you, that is a selling point. I am on that one right now. What is the size relationship of this plants? 2 to 1 for height to width? In about ten years is the avg. size going to be like 4'x 2'? I know that all is different in different areas but I just want a gauge. Thanks. |
- Posted by coniferjoy 10 (email@example.com) on Mon, Oct 8, 12 at 15:12
If you go after 'Gold Dust' I have a feeling that this one being sold is 'Gold Dust' and not 'Variegated'. If its the latter, then $25 for a 4-5 yr old plant is a steal. I got one and compared it to my 2 year old 'Gold Dust' and they look identical. |
Here is a link that might be useful: 'Gold Dust'
Coniferjoy is right. Comparison is apples to oranges. That being said you did not say to choose just one or the other so may I choose both? FYI Perry's Gold is a very good performer in this zone (5). |
Oh my...I love Gold Dust. Much MUCH nicer than Perry's Gold. Great photos Edwin. |
- Posted by ingeborgdot 6 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 13, 13 at 21:06
How large is gold dust going to get? I have seen 9'x4', 16"x12", 4'x2' in 10 years. That is quite a bit different sizes. Anyone of you that has it have any idea? |

Strange Dave. My specimen is about 6-7 years old and can't be even half your size... I bought it as a 2-3 year old and that was in 2008-2009 Winter. You sure that huge plant is only 7??? How old was it when you put it in the ground? -Will |
- Posted by Glaciers-End 8WA (My Page) on Wed, Mar 13, 13 at 21:50
Hi Will, It was pretty much the same age as most of the stuff I plant, a 2-3 year old graft. Pretty sure I got it from Bob. I just checked the records. I developed that particular planting late in 2004, so I planted it in 2005. I suppose a lost track of time, here. That tree must actually be ~10. ~Dave |

Sep 4, 2013 8:22 PM by April Hansen, KSBY
The Central Coast Bandit suspect was back in court in San Luis Obispo on Wednesday for a pre-trial hearing and details from a search a search warrant reveal more about the investigation.
Cristina Padilla, 50, is accused of robbing six banks in San Luis Obispo, Monterey and Stanislaus counties.
After her arrest, Padilla admitted to our Caroline Lowe in a jailhouse interview that she was a bank robber and told Caroline she admitted the same to police.
Two days later, Padilla entered not guilty pleas in court.
Court documents say officers from the Monterey County Sheriff's Department and the San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Department searched Padilla's home in Watsonville , her pickup truck and the car she was driving when she was arrested.
Investigators were looking for any ties between Padilla and the string of robberies.
"She minded her own business. She didn't seem like the type of lady to do something like that," said one of Padilla's neighbors.
That was the reaction after tenants from 15 West Lake Avenue in Watsonville were told their neighbor had been accused of being a serial bank robber.
It was shocking news for a small community, especially since some of the items investigators found inside Padilla's apartment may link her to the Central Coast Bandit's robbery spree.
Remember that 'Garden Isle of Kauai' shirt that the bandit wore during a robbery at the Pacific Western Bank in Pismo Beach?
The search warrant says a similar one was found near the front door of Padilla's apartment.
Handwritten notes were found in her rental car.
One read, "Do not make a scene. Hand me all of your large bills only. I will shoot you."
The documents say, after she was in custody, Padilla told officers she never used a weapon during her robberies, but investigators found a BB gun in her car that was loaded and fully charged.
"The reports are still coming in from all the various allegations that are made against Ms. Padilla," said Padilla's attorney Linden Mackaoui.
When we asked Mackaoui why she pleaded not guilty after police say she admitted to them she was a bank robber he said, "When you enter a not guilty plea you're placing all the allegations at issue, meaning right now we are disputing everything."
Padilla faces nine charges of second degree robbery and burglary and two counts of attempted robbery.
She is also charged with fleeing an officer and assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly ramming into another vehicle during the car chase.
She is being held on $1 million bail and will be in court again on September 18th.

FLORIDA, July 16, 2013 — On Saturday night, an all-female six-member jury in the central Florida port city of Sanford acquitted neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman of wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.
Nonetheless, many pro-Trayvon Martin activists maintain that Zimmerman is not only guilty of racially profiling Martin, but murdering him.
"We're still obviously disappointed at the outcome of not guilty, and I'd like to point out that not guilty does not necessarily mean that George Zimmerman was innocent, and we still maintain that position," said Trayvon Martin family attorney Jasmine Rand on Fox News host Greta Van Susteren's program last night.
After mentioning that the Martin family still hopes to attain justice for the shooting, Van Susteren questioned what this means.
"(T)he prosecution picked that jury with the defense, the prosecution agreed to that jury with the defense, the jury heard all the evidence, the prosecution didn't get shut down for presenting any evidence as far as I know, and the jury then decided the case, and everybody was happy with that jury, and then suddenly, after the jury renders its verdict, suddenly everyone's dissatisfied, or at least not everyone, but some are dissatisfied with the jury as though they did a lousy job or heard a different trial or didn't listen to the case," Van Susteren pointed out.
She then asked: "What happened? You liked the jury in the beginning."
Rand went on to give a highly charged answer, claiming that the Martin legal team never declared satisfaction with the jury, among other things. After being confronted on inconsistencies in her statements and more, Rand admitted something truly startling.
"I have a greater duty beyond being an attorney, and that's to be a social engineer," Rand declared. She went on to expound on the ideas of, essentially, civil protest.
Van Susteren was not supportive of the above remark. She mentioned that "(t)his social engineering, I don't know, that's more like social manipulation."
"Just like Miami-Dade School Superintendent, Alberto Carvalho; Just like Miami-Dade School Police Chief Charles Hurley; Just like DOJ Attorney General, Eric Holder, and just like President Obama, former community organizer, the greater goal "beyond the law" is to be a social engineer," opines Sundance of The Conservative Tree House, a widely-read blog which has provided detailed coverage of the Martin shooting's aftermath.
He continues: "What more can be said? We are not a nation of laws, we are now a nation of social engineers – so sayeth the constructionists. No wonder the exhibited Justice for Trayvon means take to the streets and attack your adversary, coast to coast."

COPENHAGEN, Denmark–Tabletop company Stelton has expanded into the housewares category with Rig-Tig, a new brand that encompasses products for food storage, baking, food prep and more. Having debuted at Tendence late last month in Frankfurt, Germany, Rig-Tig will be unveiled to the U.S. market at the New York Tabletop Market next month.
The Stelton line is more gift-focused, Michael Ring, owner, Stelton, told HFN, and with the difficult economy he decided several years ago to develop a new brand that went after a different category, and saw an increased interest in kitchen products. The result was Rig-Tig, which means "right" in Danish, which reflects the three core values required in the line, he said: function, design and impact on the environment. And Ring was happy with the new collection — "It's like sculpture."
Products include a food storage system, reminiscent of another Danish brand — Lego, as the seven pieces are stackable, Ring said. Ideal for a small kitchen, the food storage group is made of the same ABS plastic as the iPhone, he added. The lids are made of wood plastic composite, allowing for air expansion, so the items are refrigerator-friendly.
When possible, the line incorporates eco-friendly materials and less packaging. The line's mixing bowls, for example, are not all melamine, which includes petroleum, but are half bamboo. "Unfortunately, we need some petroleum" in the product, he said, but even using the bamboo halves the amount of the CO2 footprint in the product. Packaging becomes the product as well for the silicone mat for dough and pastry roller — the tube that houses a silicone mat for dough is also a rolling pin.
The new line can be seen at rig-tig.com.

08 June 2009
A unique new course offering students the chance to gain translation skills and help meet the growing need for professional language translators has been officially launched.
Cardiff University's School of European Studies is the first to offer a designated course which allows students the chance to gain professional translation skills in any source and target language pairing.
The course is aimed at students seeking a career as a translator or at those interested in the study of translation as a basis from which to pursue a PhD in such disciplines as translation studies, comparative literature, cultural studies or history.
Training also prepares students for careers in other language-related professions, including journalism, public relations or language teaching.
Professor Alexis Nuselovici, a leading translation studies expert who developed the course, said: "Cardiff University's new MA in Translation Studies is the first in the UK to offer students the chance to gain professional translation skills with the complete freedom to choose to translate from any language into any language.
"The increasing move towards globalisation brings with it new and unique linguistic challenges. Businesses who want to compete on a world stage need to be able to communicate in new and emerging economies and in new languages.
"There are also the cultural needs of people who have, for the first time, been able to travel to other countries. We hope that the chance to translate from and into any language will encourage more students to consider a professional career as a language translator."
The new one-year MA course is available from September 2009. It comes as the European Union's Directorate-General for Translation is warning of a potential gap in the number of professional translators.
Professor Nuselovici added: "The European Union's Directorate-General for Translation has already warned that as a result of impending retirements and further expansion of the European Union, there is a growing need for professional translators.
"The increasing movement of people, especially within the European Union, has seen demand for professional translation services increase. This is also true of the further expansion of the European Union and the need for the European Commission and Parliament to service these new languages.
"We hope that the freedom that the course offers students to gain professional translation skills in and from any language will help meet this gap."
1. School of European Studies
The School of European Studies comprises the French, German, Hispanic, Italian and Politics sections of the University.
The School is at the cutting edge of research into Europe, believing that Europe can only be understood in the context of its states' different histories, political systems, languages and cultural identities. The main research interests are: histories, memories and fictions; images and ideas of Europe; ideologies; parties and intellectuals; nationalism, urbanism and regionalism; European public policy; and European labour movements.
The School publishes three journals: New Readings, research papers on the themes of European languages, literatures and critical theory; Regional and Federal Studies: an international journal; and Tesserae, the journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies.
2. Cardiff University
Cardiff University is recognised in independent government assessments as one of Britain's leading teaching and research universities and is a member of the Russell Group of the UK's most research intensive universities. Among its academic staff are two Nobel Laureates, including the winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize for Medicine, Professor Sir Martin Evans.
Founded by Royal Charter in 1883, today the University combines impressive modern facilities and a dynamic approach to teaching and research. The University's breadth of expertise in research and research-led teaching encompasses: the humanities; the natural, physical, health, life and social sciences; engineering and technology; preparation for a wide range of professions; and a longstanding commitment to lifelong learning.

Raise Your Defenses
The latest Chapter Pack for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game is coming |
A Game of Thrones LCG | Published 14 January 2010 |
"The wildlings may never again have such a chance as this. I knew Mance Rayder, Jon. He is an oathbreaker, yes... but he has eyes to see, and no man has ever dared to name him faintheart."
–Old Bear Mormont
North of the Wall, the forces of the Wildlings have been mustering, and the sparse defense provided by the dedicated men of the Night's Watch will soon be overwhelmed by this massive army. Take up arms alongside this cause, or against it, and affect the very fate of Westeros!
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming fourth Chapter Pack in the Defenders of the North series, The Wildling Horde.
The Wildling Horde features a wealth of exciting cards to augment your A Game of Thrones: The Card Game deck. The Last Giants agenda card gives your Wildling characters an extra boost of strength, while Dolorous Edd increases your draw cap for each The North agenda you are running!
The Wildling Horde is the fourth installment in the Defenders of the North expansion to A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, based on George R.R. Martin's bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire saga. This 40 card pack features 20 different never-before-seen cards designed to augment existing decks andadd variety to the A Game of Thrones metagame.
This spring, get ready to face The Wildling Horde!
Based on George R.R. Martin's bestselling fantasy epic A Song of Ice and Fire, A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, playable by 2-4 players, brings the beloved heroes, villains, locations, and events of the world of Westeros to life through innovative game mechanics and the highly strategic game play. The Living Card Game™ format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Chapter Pack expansions to the core game.
Nifty though I'd rather hear more about the Chapter pack that is coming out now than the one coming out in April or May (I guess I'll come back and read this one again after I've had a chance to play with some of the cards in the earlier packs).
Looking forward to this whole set!
"Would this card work against something like Drinking the Sea"
hmmm That would be cancelling a cancel wouldn't it??
Would this card work against something like Drinking the Sea, which has a secondary effect of allowing a player to draw a card? And I love how useful this card is anyways, and well costed. Too bad this pack is still about 4 months away.
I want me one of them Wildling Hordes. That thing looks awesome from the artwork, hopefully its ability is just as cool.
Defenders of the North cannot arrive soon enough... In Spain we were supposed to get the first chapter pack at the end of January, but apparently they've moved it to February. We might get two chapter packs that month, one hopes so.
Oh, and do you know what would be cool? A strategy guide, including all the cards, expanded rules with examples and those goodies. Have a look at the Anima Tacticas book. THAT is simply awesome.

Mar 13th 2009 11:42AM Agreed. I'd kill to see AQ opening or the portal.
But 67 in Vanilla?! Crazy.
Skip over outland, head there now. haha
I've done it 3 times now, and it just bores me, I try to do it as quickly and efficiently as possible. Northrend is fun though, so far.
No vanilla WoW realms. Really. {WoW}
Mar 13th 2009 11:22AM I hardly touched WPL/EPL with my hunter, now only sitting at 74 due to a heavy workload this term, but my pally is at 60, and he's just heading to Outland now. Why? Because I was getting a taste of what endgame was like at 60. Grinding Argent Dawn rep, collecting scourgestones, doing those repeatable quests for insignias to get epic/rare items.
Don't get me wrong, I only got one of those items, but imagined just for a moment what it would have been like to experience that, having played since the launch of WoW, but not consistently, or at end game until the last year.
I missed out on BC endgame too. Never grinded Aldor rep, only did dailies for about a month before Wrath dropped, and got full S2 gear from battlegrounds in that time too.
I'd LOVE to go back and experience endgame at 60 and 70 on a separate server, but understand the direction Blizzard is heading and also how difficult that would be to implement.
I'll have to settle for soloing old 40 man raids at 80 when I get there....
Monday morning PTR updates [Updated] {WoW}
Feb 23rd 2009 1:16PM Adam, I know you like your coffee... but can you skip it every morning? It sure would clear up the biggest pet peeve of readers on this site!
Awesome comment.
Please give me something to grind {WoW}
Feb 16th 2009 12:40PM Sorry, grinding is the one thing I hated about WoW. Even for quests... get 30 of X was too many. It stopped being fun after 10.
It seems all the hardcore players that care more about the numbers side of things hate Wrath but all the casual players that care more about the experience love it.
Just a personal observation.

India v England: James Anderson helps tourists take control
Fourth Test, Nagpur, day two: |
England 330 (145.5 overs), India 87-4 (41 overs) |
James Anderson took three wickets to put England in control after day two of the final Test against India in Nagpur.
The paceman bowled both Virender Sehwag (0) and Sachin Tendulkar (2) and had Gautam Gambhir (37) caught behind.
Off-spinner Graeme Swann dismissed Cheteshwar Pujara (26) as India closed on 87-4, still 243 runs behind England, who lead the series 2-1.
"I was jumping up and down when Sehwag went, but with Tendulkar, suddenly he can't score a run and the way the press are on his back, you wouldn't think he's scored all these runs. It's not as easy to get your feet moving at 39 - I think that Usain Bolt won't run as fast at 39 as he does now - but he deserves better than that. Someone has to talk to him and suggests he makes a decision, they can't just drop him after all he's done. And Jimmy Anderson was the icing on the cake for England at the end - they've not won it yet, but they're in a great position to win the match."
Joe Root scored a patient 73 and Swann smashed 56 to help England to 330 all out on a slow, low wicket.
Having reached that score from their overnight total of 199-5, England's bowlers were in an ideal position to apply some pressure on the Indian batsmen.
And, like so many other times before in this series, the home side duly crumbled.
The pitch offered little seam, swing or spin for the Indian bowling, but as soon as Anderson got the new ball in his hand he immediately had India in trouble.
First he got one to come back in and bowl Sehwag, then he returned later in the evening session to nip one back into Tendulkar.
Finally, he got one to shape away from Gambhir, who went for an expansive cover drive and got a faint edge behind to Matt Prior.
However Anderson will also be grateful for the intervention of Swann after he broke up a promising 58-run partnership between Gambhir and Pujara to hand England the momentum.
It was a superb, diving catch by Ian Bell that brought about the end of Pujara's innings, but the batsman will be disappointed after replays showed the ball may not have hit his glove on the way to short leg.
Swann's wicket capped a superb individual day for the off-spinner, who scored his first Test half-century since 2009 in typically belligerent style.
He came to the crease after Prior had played down the wrong line to Ravichandran Ashwin - the wicketkeeper being bowled for a valuable 57 to end a potentially match-changing 103-run partnership with debutant Root - and Tim Bresnan was pinned in front by Ishant Sharma for a second-ball duck.
Rock-solid Root
- Joe Root's knock was the longest debut innings for an England player since Roger Tolchard against India at Eden Gardens in 1976-77
- The last five England batsmen to score 50 in maiden innings before Root were Kevin Pietersen (2005) Alastair Cook (2006), Owais Shah (2006), Matt Prior (2007) and Tim Ambrose (2008).
Root continued where he left off on the first day, as he showed a solid defence while keeping the scoreboard moving. He looked assured and confident from the first ball of the day and his gritty knock was complemented by Swann's strokeplay - the Nottinghamshire man hitting six fours and two sixes in his breezy innings.
Root was eventually out to a leading edge, caught and bowled by leg-spinner Piyush Chawla, while Swann was trapped in front while sweeping as he attempted to plunder some late runs.
Anderson made just four before he also fell victim to Chawla (4-69), but it was the Lancashire man's bowling which changed the complexion of the match and tipped it in favour of England.
Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni remained unbeaten at the close of play, but they have plenty to do to help deny England a first Test series victory in India since 1984-85.

15th December 2012 - 15:09Agreed; the wicket is awful. Glad India have shown their mettle, now hopefully people will get off their backs. All this barracking is just simply not cricket!
Comment number 240.
15th December 2012 - 10:24Kohli has gone first ball after the aforementioned drinks break. Boy is Swann good at doing that.
Dhoni has been stuck in the 90s for an age now. Does he realise his team have a test match to win to avoid a home series defeat?
Playing for his own stats ala Tendulkar? -
Comment number 239.
15th December 2012 - 10:07Drinks, and these 2 have moved their partnership on to 198.
There is no doubt that these 2 have ability and good to see both of them showing us just that.
It's slow going, but it's fascinating stuff as they battle to save the series, and we can't ask for much more than that.
This is real cricket, and you can stick your T20 up........... :) -
Comment number 238.
15th December 2012 - 9:04There appears to be nothing in this pitch at all - the word 'dour' comes to mind. India need to push on a little after tea if they're going to get a lead and put England back in with enough time left to dismiss them. The biggest risk to England is what (if anything) the pitch will do when they do bat again.
Comment number 237.
The Lone Gunman
15th December 2012 - 8:45Can't believe the poor quality of the SD Balls being used in this test. After 10 overs they look like a Duke / Reader that has done 70 overs.

Bluebonnets, Chicken Fried Steak, and Deer
January 24, 2011 by Hoby · 3 Comments
(Photo Caption: Hill Country Winery) One other stopping point on our way from New Mexico to South Texas is the Texas Hill Country. We always enjoy our stay in this part of Texas because there is so much to do—and it is close to San Antonio and Austin. When in the Hill Country there are a few things that, at least in my opinion, must not be missed. The first three of these things are food…Chicken Fried Steak, Barbeque, and Barbacoa. While these are served in other places, the Hill Country seems to make them better than other locations. Of course, you can always find incredible German food by visiting Fredericksburg, and you should always stop at the many wineries you will come across. Another thing to watch for in the Hill Country are the wildflowers; many wildflower festivals happen in various cities across the area, but since the Bluebonnet is the state flower, it is important to recognize the Bluebonnet Festival in Burnet, Texas (Burnet is recognized by the Texas state legislature...

Tortilla Flat, AZ, Population 6.
January 23, 2011 by Dana Ticknor · 4 Comments
If you happen to find yourself around Apache Junction, Arizona, with time on your hands and a desire to check out the 'scenery', you may just want to take a drive over to Tortilla Flat. Your drive through the Tonto National Forest will take you on a twisty, erratic (but nicely paved) road that winds through miles of rugged desert. With interesting rock formations, lots of saguaro and barrel cactus, and a forest worth of palo verde trees, the drive is a must for those new to the Arizona desert environment. Along the way, you will come to beautiful Canyon Lake (pic on left), which is a popular destination for water sports during the summer. Continue on, and you will soon find yourself in the town of Tortilla Flat. Population 6. Tortilla Flat is an old mining town, and is a popular tourist destination. It is known for a few unique attractions, our favorite being the Prickly Pear Ice Cream. Prickly Pear is a type of cactus, which they have in abundance... [Read more...]
The Stowe Experience–Part 3
January 23, 2011 by Diane Berry · 4 Comments
We had planned and scheduled our trip out east that year to allow us to complete as many high points as we were able during our 12 days on the road so summiting Mt. Mansfield was the initial reason for our stop in Stowe, VT. Situated in Smuggler's Notch State Park, Mt. Mansfield is 4,395 feet high. However, unlike most other state high points, some kind souls have thoughtfully constructed an Auto Toll Road that will take visitors most of the way to the top of the peak. Terry, Meg and the puppies on the way up! The Toll Road is a beautiful drive, in addition to being quite an interesting experience, with much of the road taking the car more vertical than horizontal, at least in parts. We did not feel threatened at any point, however, but would not want to make the drive in the winter, if that is even allowed! As we had picked up a $2 off coupon on our stop at the Stowe Visitor's Center when first arriving in town, we paid $21 for our car full of riders to use the road. Once at the top... [Read more...]
WARNING!! An Extremely Contagious Camper's Disease is on the Increase.
January 22, 2011 by Professor95 · 5 Comments
After many years of RV camping experience, one thing that I have learned is that many fellow campers and I share a common psychological disorder. In fact, it is so severe many Psychologists consider it a disease. A disease so severe that it is easily transmitted from one camper to another any time they gather together. I have a name for this disease. You won't find it in a medical dictionary or any psychology textbooks that I am aware of. In fact, I am not even sure it has been officially identified. I call the disease (or disorder), Tinkeritus. I define this as, "The inability to leave things as they are or, more specifically, to leave things alone." Every RV we have owned has suffered the effects of at least one of its owners having this disease. You see, it really doesn't make any difference how the RV is designed or equipped at the factory. I simply must make it different – or, as I see it, more efficient and better. Nancy has caught me on numerous... [Read more...]
Going For The Gold in Girdwood!
January 22, 2011 by Melissa A. Trainer · 4 Comments
Have you ever gone gold panning? I have. It is lots of fun! When we lived in Anchorage, Alaska, we took our children on many day trips. One of our favorite destinations was Girdwood. Located about forty miles south of Anchorage, historic Girdwood has a lot to offer. There's the awesome Alyeska Resort, scenic views, a great bakery and the wonderful Double Musky Inn. One weekend, we spontaneously decided to try our hand at gold panning. It was getting late in the day. We were about ready to leave Girdwood and drive home, but I was reading a little tourist brochure while sitting in the front seat. The brochure casually mentioned the Crow Creek Gold Mine. My children and I were quite excited to visit this remote historic mine, so my husband immediately agreed to venture down a long dirt road in order to find it. At the turn of the last century, Girdwood was a gold mining town and the Crow Creek Gold Mine is a historic treasure. Nestled in the Chugach Mountains, the mine... [Read more...]
Patti's Saga of an RV Rookie: "How to Earn Money RVing: Chapter 1″Doing It Online"
January 21, 2011 by Patti F. · 7 Comments
So you want to earn money on your computer while running amuck in your RV? Consider this: how did you earn money before you joined the elastic-wearing, black water-dumping, tent-popping hordes? Your answer may reveal how to earn income from your RV. You're an expert at something. What is it? Let's explore approaches to earning income online: Let's say you were a teacher. What does that qualify you to do from an RV? True, you (hopefully) no longer hold recalcitrant, desk bound children captive. However, you probably retain the knowledge, communication and organizational skills it took to work with the darlings. Those skills are marketable. Online tutoring companies such as www.smarthinking.com or www.tutor.com or www.tutorvista.com value those skills. I enjoy tutoring online for Smarthinking.com on many levels; not the least of which is working from our RV! Or, maybe you're a writer or "wanna be writer. " Find, then study, blogs you like....

What Is In Your Portable Pantry?
January 20, 2011 by Melissa A. Trainer · 12 Comments
If you have an RV, a camper or a travel trailer, then you have the pleasure of stocking a portable pantry. I stock my portable pantry every summer. Each fall, we clean it out completely and then right before Memorial Day I make a list and stock it with some basic items, such as peanut butter, pasta, rice, graham crackers, salt, sugar, tea, and coffee. When we traveled throughout Alaska and down the Alaska Canada Highway during the summer of 2006, I learned that it was essential to have a well-stocked pantry because grocery stores were often hours away! Over the last few years, I've learned to include canned items such as soups, wild Alaska salmon, and baked beans. All of these items store easily and can be transformed in a flash. The canned wild salmon makes a great salad when I mix it with celery, lemon, and a little mayonnaise. The salad can then be served on a sandwich or dolloped onto crackers for an impressive little canape. The baked beans easily add... [Read more...]
The Campground Pizzeria From Seward to Yellowstone!
January 17, 2011 by Melissa A. Trainer · 2 Comments
Pizza is a perennial favorite with my family. We enjoy it at home and while camping. Over the years, I've served a lot of pizzas while traveling the highways and byways of the Pacific Northwest. I've loaded frozen pizzas into the oven. I've cooked it from scratch. I've served takeout pizzas purchased while traveling. And, I've crafted unusual ones over a campfire. Before leaving home, I often stash the Amy's organic frozen pizzas into the bottom of my little camper freezer because they are compact and cook quickly in my camper oven. They make a great kid friendly snack and are always there when I need them. I started using the Amy's pizzas when we lived and camped in Alaska about five years ago. I purchased the pizzas in packs of three from my local Costco. Amenities were few and far between when we traveled and camped throughout America's Last Frontier, so I needed to always have a family friendly option on hand. My children... [Read more...]
Patti's Saga of an RV Rookie: Lose 55 pounds in ten minutes for $149.00
January 16, 2011 by Patti F. · 13 Comments
See the Nook? Would you like to lose, say, 55 pounds or more, in 10 minutes for only $149? I did it, by getting a Nook e reader. Ok, the pounds I lost weren't human flesh (apologies those of us trying to lose ballast); they're dead weight and space wasters in RV's, tents, or homes and are known as "books." I know, I know…books are lovely in homes but if you're downsizing to a condo, 5th wheel, or cardboard box, think about it. I'm a maniacal reader. To the point of insanity. In addition to pleasure reading like a fool, reading has always been integral to my teaching and writing careers. Reading is my hobby, my joy, my career (when not writing), and my friend. In truth, my love of reading is central to who I am. So, the thought of giving up or not having access to my zillions of books while camping or RVing was totally out of the question. Then I realized, it's not about the books…it's about reading. And that's when my brilliant husband... [Read more...]
The Stowe Experience–Part 2
January 16, 2011 by Diane Berry · Leave a Comment
One of the first things we did in Stowe, VT when we visited on an RV trip a few years ago, other than set up camp and eat pizza, was take a tour of the Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory. It was quite a complex with several buildings and a large number of outbuildings. They can also boast the largest parking space and RV parking area I have seen this side of Disney World! Even the biggest rigs should have no trouble pulling in here! They really go out of their way to make their establishment accessible to everyone and to make it easy to visit. The Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory complex is located in nearby Waterbury, VT, a few short miles from the town of Stowe. The company actually started in the nearby city of Burlington and was established by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, two childhood friends, who turned a $5.00 correspondence course on how to make ice cream into a way to provide an exceptional product and make a few bucks in the process. Founded in 1978, it grew to... [Read more...]

Prompted by the growth of spas worldwide, the Global Spa & Wellness Summit (GSWS) has prioritized spa management education as a crucial component of spa industry success. Following the 2012 GSWS in Aspen, where the research study Spa Management Workforce & Education: Addressing Market Gaps was presented, the Spa Management Education Committee sanctioned a committee of spa industry leaders to respond to the research study's challenges of enticing more people to join the ranks of spa management, and providing information regarding spa career and education trends.
Spa management is a very challenging career, yet there are limited opportunities to receive a formal education in spa management. "The spa industry does not have a well-defined educational or career pathway," according to GSWS Board Member Anna Bjurstam, VP Spas & Wellness Six Senses/owner Raison d'Etre Bjurstam. "There are few spa specific college level courses and training programs to train people in the spa business." There are an approximately 130,000 to 180,000 spa managers and directors currently working in spa businesses around the world. An estimated 4,000 students worldwide currently enrolled in spa management related degree programs.
The committee's first task was to gather information from spa managers, consultants, and owners by creating a survey on career paths," said career committee co-chair Lori Hutchinson, founder of global recruiting firm Hutchinson Consulting, along with Jeremy McCarthy, director of Global Spa Development and Operations for Starwood Hotels & Resorts. There were 550 spa management and consulting professionals who participated in the study. The research revealed important data about career satisfaction, the importance of mentoring, and trends in spa management education." "The study reinforces that the spa industry is a great industry to work in, that spa managers love their jobs and that they stay in the industry," said McCarthy.
Results from the Spa Management Career Trends Survey were presented by Hutchinson at the 2013 GSWS in India in September 2013. Hutchinson submitted "You Would Love A Spa Career" in the GSWS Spa and Wellness Infographic Competition. Designed by Jason Parmer of Dapper Design, the submission won first place out of 130 entries to take home the $2,500 prize. Accepting on behalf of Parmer and the committee in India, Hutchinson said: "The infographic was really a collaboration, as are so many things in the world of spa."
The infographic relayed the following information about a career in the spa industry:
In 2014, the Spa Management Education Committee has plans to promote spa management and hands-on positions as a viable career, further define career options and develop mentorship and internship opportunities. "It is now time to take the next steps to making our managers masters at their trade and attracting more people to our wonderful spa industry," says Hutchinson.
"I couldn't be more proud of what the education committee has accomplished," said Susie Ellis, Chairman and CEO of the GSWS. "Thanks to the research and surveys that have been done so far, we are building knowledge about spa management education that can spark new and innovative ideas on how we might be able to fill the gaps and also bring a great career opportunity to light. The committee's work is definitely bearing fruit."

Hi all,
I dont know much about cars but I do like to buy a Mercedes 230C (Model 94 ->98). I want to know what should I check prior to bying such a car. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
The first concern about those cars would be that the oil change indicator is calibrated for synthetic oil but most places, even the Mercedes dealerships, put conventional oil in them. So I would check the oil change history on the vehicle. |
About the same as any other car(service history, mechanics report, quality of the service provider). That is an excellent point by Brian. I am suspect of the "legendary Mercedes quality" of the 90s, it was good in the 80s, except for rust... |
Agree with what brian said. Check the oil change history. Also check the mileage of the car prior to buying it. |
The important thing to check in buying a used Mercedes is your wallet. If you start having problems many of the repairs have to be done by the dealer because local shops don't have the expertise to do them. Or the part needed is a "dealer only' item. I just got rid of a 2001 that needed a few things. For example..cooling fan started to sound noisy. Dealer estimate parts (new fan) $1,200 and 2 hours labor..$170. So in another car where a cooling fan might be $200 installed the Mercedes was going to be $1,370. I looked on line and the cheapest fan I could find was $950. In short, many times there is no other way to go, but to the dealer and you will pay dearly. If you have a Mercedes under warranty you are okay. If it's not under warranty and you have a problem...well, as I said in the beginning...check your wallet. You will need a fat one. |

I haven't seen promos of this film that are detailed enough to give any idea as to its age-appropriateness. Since it made so much money last weekend, I'm assuming some folks here went to see it.
Opinions? What age group do you think it's geared to? Would the 4- to 5-year olds like it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
DH & I loved it. Laughed so hard, I have to go back and review the areas I missed because of laughing. It has a little bit of everything for everyone. The story line does get a little dry in the middle, but for the most part, it was good. We saw it on opening night, and there were lots and lots of children even at the last showing. Ladies, take a tissue, men your hankies, you will need them. |
I thought you were going to ask what age can kids have ice. |
For it to have been the number one movie, I have found only the one response above as someone having seen the movie. No one I know has seen it! |
- Posted by Christie_Hartner (My Page) on Tue, Mar 26, 02 at 21:34
I am wondering the same thing. Our 2 year old loves Shrek and sits through it when we watch it together. We were wondering if it would be appropriate to take her to as well. Please if any of you have seen it let us know. Chris |
Christie, I posted over on the Kitchen Table. It's a more active forum. Got a couple of responses so far - I see you are a contributing member so you can see the responses. (look for subject of Ice Age - anyone seen it) So far folks are saying they loved it, even cried a little, and that it is appropriate for a 4-yo. |
We saw it on Friday, with DD and her friend (4 yo). They LOVED it! And it's very entertaining for adults, also. We laughed out loud more in this movie, than we did in Monsters Inc. Sat behind a row full of 9-ish year-old boys. They loved it, also, as did the parent chaperoning them. So it's a good one to take toddlers to!!! |

Well, I don't know what the cashier said last night that caught my attention but it turns out Target has a debit card program! This is similar to Nordstrom's program in that the debit card is linked to your checking account. I signed up after learning that you get 5% off EVERY purchase as well as free shipping online.
Now I don't shop at Target all the time but when I do I normally spend a pretty penny. Target is one of those stores where you go in for one thing and walk out with a lot more. For that reason I'm pretty stoked at the 5% off. Every bit counts. ;)
