buySAFE in alliance with Symantec Corporation has created the Norton Shopping Guarantee program. A merchant that uses Norton Shopping Guarantee is certified to be reliable and stable and enabled to provide the Shopping Guarantee program on their website.
Wherever you see Norton Shopping Guarantee, you can feel confident that you're visiting one of the best merchants on the web and that your purchase will be Guaranteed.
Shopping Guarantee merchants have partnered with buySAFE to provide their buyers with additional peace of mind on every purchase. When you buy from a Norton Shopping Guarantee merchant, you receive - at no cost to you - a 30 day Shopping Guarantee with your purchase that includes the following benefits:
$10,000 Identity Theft Protection. Comprehensive identity theft coverage to safeguard your personal information. Some restrictions apply...
$1,000 Purchase Guarantee. Full 3rd party guarantee of your purchase terms of sale of up to $1,000 is provided. Some restrictions apply...
$100 Lowest Price Guarantee. If the same stores published price drops, buySAFE, Inc. will pay you the difference, up to $100. Some restrictions apply...
NOTE: Some benefits may not be available from all stores. Refer to the store's website and click on the Norton Shopping Guarantee Seal or check your guarantee confirmation to verify benefits details and availability.
To receive these benefits, your Shopping Guarantee must be authentic and valid. When making a benefit claim, you and/or the merchant may be required to provide more information in order to authenticate your Shopping Guarantee. All benefit claims must be made within thirty (30) days of the date of purchase in order to keep benefits, even if all the terms of sale are not yet fulfilled. Once a valid claim is made, coverage applies until the claim is resolved.
There is no additional cost for these benefits. This is not a subscription service, you will not be billed for this and there is nothing for you to cancel. The benefit expires 30 days from the date of purchase.
How do I activate my benefits?
You will need to save the Norton Shopping Guarantee number, displayed on the order confirmation page of the merchant website immediately after your purchase. The Guarantee number is also included in the Certificate of Guarantee email sent to you following your purchase. Note, if you do not wish to receive the Certificate of Guarantee email, you may opt-out. You will need to register with the Norton Shopping Guarantee before reporting a problem or claiming any of the benefits.
The Identity Theft Protection benefit is not activated automatically: You need to register within 30 days of your eligible purchase. Visit Norton Shopping Guarantee to register.
The Purchase Guarantee is automatic. If you have a problem with your transaction within 30 days of your purchase, visit Norton Shopping Guarantee to make a benefit claim.
For Lowest Price Guarantee benefit claims, if within 30 days of the date of your purchase you see the exact same product advertised on the same Shopping Guarantee merchant's website at a lower published retail price, you will receive a refund for the difference. Note: Items purchased through specific promotions, bundling arrangements, or coupons are not eligible for the Lowest Price Guarantee. See our terms for the full eligibility conditions.
The following terms apply to the Norton Shopping Guarantee benefits:
What is Identity Theft?
Identity theft is the theft of personal information, such as name, credit card number, bank account, social security number, or other method of identification which in turn is utilized for illegal activity. The most common illegal activities that identity thieves use stolen information for are: redirecting or opening a bank or credit card account, making unauthorized purchases, setting up services, securing loans, entering into a contract or committing a crime.
The Norton Shopping Guarantee Identity Theft Protection provides you with benefits that you may need to protect and/or restore your identity and good name. The Norton Shopping Guarantee Identity Theft Protection Service will not be applicable for activities such as email spam, mailing address spam, or misuse of your personal information online (such as misrepresentation of your name, likeness, profile, or other information).
What are the 30 day Identity Theft Protection terms:

Version and / or Patch Used: Build 110
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark06/
3DMark06 is the very latest version of the "Gamers Benchmark" from FutureMark. The newest version of 3DMark expands on the tests in 3DMark05 by adding graphical effects using Shader Model 3.0 and HDR (High Dynamic Range lighting) which will push even the best DX9 graphics cards to the extremes.
3DMark06 also focuses on not just the GPU but the CPU using the AGEIA PhysX software physics library to effectively test single and Dual Core processors.
While the cards come closer together, it's clear that the Radeon X1950PRO continue to dominate the GeForce 7900GS at stock clock speeds - let's see if this continues over to our real-world tests.

Chocolate Bar at Work
Friday, May 16th is Endangered Species Day – a day to recognize conservation efforts to save at-risk species and habitats. Let's celebrate the fact that over the past three years, you've helped us raise over $855,000 for conservation groups! Take a closer look at specific programs your Endangered Species Chocolate purchases and our 10% Promise are funding.
Partner: African Wildlife Foundation | Program: African Apes Initiative
"Endangered Species Chocolate's 10% GiveBack program is making a demonstrable difference in helping AWF to conserve the natural resources and heritage that are vital to Africa's environmental and economic prosperity." – Kurt Redenbo, Director, Foundation & Corporate Relations, African Wildlife Foundation
Africa is home to 4 of the world's 5 great ape species. Unfortunately, all 4 are endangered or critically endangered. Through the newly launched African Apes Initiative, AWF works throughout West and Central Africa to protect great apes and their habitats.
- AWF prioritizes those great ape habitats most in need of conservation intervention;
- They work with park authorities and other on-the-ground partners to identify gaps in local conservation support;
- This program provides seed grants and technical support for critical interventions;
- AWF implements long term conservation strategies. Learn much more here.
Partner: The Xerces Society | Program: Bumble Bee Watch
"[Endangered Species Chocolate's 10% donation] allows us to expand our work to protect pollinators in all landscapes across the U.S." – Scott Black, Executive Director, The Xerces Society
Bumble Bee Watch is a collaborative effort to track and conserve North America's bumble bees. This citizen science project allows for individuals to:
- Upload photos of bumble bees to start a virtual bumble bee collection;
- Identify the bumble bees in your photos and have your identifications verified by experts;
- Help researchers determine the status and conservation needs of bumble bees;
- Learn about bumble bees, their ecology, and ongoing conservation efforts; and
- Connect with other citizen scientists.
Partner: SEE Turtles | Program: Billion Baby Turtles
"Over the past 3 years, Endangered Species Chocolate grew to be the single largest supporter of SEE Turtles and SEEtheWILD, support that has been critical to the success of our programs." – SEE Turtles 10% Promise Report
6 out of 7 species of sea turtles around the world are endangered or threatened. SEE Turtle program, Billion Baby Turtles, is helping reverse this decline by saving one billion baby turtles over the next decade. For every $1 raised, SEE Turtles saves at least 1 hatchling. Funds support vital nesting beach patrols across Latin America:
- Eastern Pacific Hawksbill Initiative
- Las Tortugas Research Station
- Paso Pacifico

Tourism + Sharks
Dead or Alive: The Promise of Tourism For Shark Conservation
When many people hear the words "shark" and "tourism" in the same sentence, the first thing they think of is how to avoid them. Unfortunately these people are missing the opportunity to witness and learn about one of nature's truly astounding creatures. While shark attacks are real and many movies and media outlets capitalize on this fear (see Channel, Discovery), there are common sense ways to avoid danger and have a great experience while contributing to shark conservation efforts.
The real predator
According to the conservation group Oceana, an average of 4 people per year were killed by sharks and only 3 fatal attacks in the US from 2006 – 2010 (out of 179 total). Beachgoers are more than 3 times more likely to drown than to die from a shark attack. Compare that to the more than 25 million sharks killed by humans each year, and it becomes clear who is more dangerous.
Sharks, as top predators, are critically important to the health of the ocean. One of the biggest issues why many shark species are endangered is due to the international trade in shark fins, used as a delicacy in shark fin soup, consumed primarily in Asia. According to Shark Advocates International, they are also valued for their meat, hides, teeth, and livers. Due to the facts that sharks grow slowly, take a long time to reproduce, and give birth to small numbers of offspring, these fish are especially susceptible to human threats.
Tourism as a conservation tool
One strategy to help protect and research sharks that is gaining popularity is ecotourism. A recent study of sharks around Costa Rica's Cocos Island estimated the value of a hammerhead shark to tourism at US $1.6 million each, compared to just under $200 it could bring if sold. A 2011 study by the Australian Institute of Marine Science had an even more dramatic difference, estimating a lifetime value of nearly US $2 million dollars for a reef shark in Palau vs. only $108 for sale in a fish market. Governments are starting to take notice of this economic value; countries including Australia, Palau, and the Cook Islands have recently created large new marine protected areas to protect sharks and other ocean life.
While diving to see sharks has its abstract value, many tour operators and volunteer organizations are taking advantage of shark tourism to directly benefit conservation. SEEtheWILD partner Sea Turtle Restoration Project has a unique trip for divers to the Cocos Island where people can help to tag hammerheads as part of a research program. In Belize, Earthwatch Institute has a volunteer program in Belize to study shark populations and the value of marine protected areas.
Another way that travelers can support shark research is by participating in the Whale Shark Photo ID Library. Anyone with underwater photos of whale sharks can upload them to this website for identification, helping to build this important resource for conservation efforts. Finally, some shark trips generate donations for conservation efforts, including this whale shark trip to Isla Mujeres (Mexico).
Playing it safe
For those who get sweaty at the mention of sharks, there are many ways to keep yourself safe when in the water with sharks. The easiest way to do that is to swim with the least threatening of sharks, the whale sharks. Though these giant fish can be 40 feet long and weigh 20 tons, they don't have teeth and are not aggressive to humans. Also, by remaining calm around sharks and keeping your distance, you can minimize the risk of being around these fascinating creatures. If you are diving or snorkeling in areas where sharks live, ask your guide about what to expect and what species to look out for.

Indulge in a Local Cause
Part of the territory of being an ESC employee is volunteering in the local Indianapolis community. Over the years ESC has volunteered at several Indy organizations including the Humane Society and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful. Most recently ESC employees have been serving lunch at the Wheeler Mission, a shelter that helps the homeless population of Indianapolis.
While the company all ready gives back 10% of its net profits to its partners, it also believes that taking the time to reach-out locally is an important aspect of its overall mission to give back. Most recently ESC teamed-up with the Peace Learning Center to participate in the Indiana Service Challenge.
As part of the service challenge ESC worked on a project for Peace Learning Center's Be the Change Workshop and Exhibit. ESC employee's spent a sunny April afternoon away from their desks making a whale out of trash that the Peace Learning Center had collected to represent the types of things that have been found in a whale's stomach. The hope is that the summer groups that visit the center that are primarily young schoolchildren, will see the whale project and have a better understanding of what happens to their trash when they don't recycle or properly dispose it.
So how do you give back in your local community? We would love to hear from you and it may just spark some ideas for us!
Choosing an Eco-Charity
We just wrapped up an Earth Day sweepstakes on Facebook, Win a Feel Good Moment, where we offered a chance to win $1000 for the non-profit of the winner's choice. Choosing an eco-charity to support is a difficult one – there are so many great ones out there! We know this firsthand. To fulfill our 10% GiveBack Promise, we scour stacks of applications and dig deep into each organization. Here are shortcuts we've learned along the way to help you narrow down your choices and match up with the perfect conservation org:
1. PINPOINT YOUR CAUSE. Whether you're interested in wildlife preservation, land conservation or climate change, there are resources to help you find an environmental org that supports your interests. Spend some time with a search engine to get a sense of the organizations out there that share your environmental concerns.
2. CHECK THEIR PERFORMANCE. Once you have a handful of organizations that speak to your eco concerns, Charity Navigator (for larger charities) and Better Business Bureau Giving Alliance (for local giving) are great places to dig deeper. These sites offer free tools to evaluate the financials, accountability and transparency of non-profits. With a few simple clicks, you'll know which charities are trustworthy.
3. GET TO KNOW THEM, THEN JOIN THEM. Now that you've honed in on groups that mesh with your ideals, visit their websites. Sign up for their newsletters. Follow them on social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc). You'll quickly gain an understanding of the scope of their work and involvement with their members. A good match will make you feel good, excited and involved in making an impact.
What advice would you give to someone who's looking for a charity to support? Comment below and share your experiences.
Rhino Newborns Bring Hope
Some stories just get inside your head and don't let go. African Wildlife Foundation's January announcement of the birth of two white rhinos really grabbed me. Maybe it was the incredibly cute baby calf photo album on Facebook or perhaps I've just read the inside of our Dark Chocolate with Hazelnut Toffee Rhino Bar wrapper one too many times. In any case, I was compelled to learn more.
Starting the New Year off on a bright note, two white rhino calves were born in Mosi-Oa-Tunya Park, an incredibly beautiful Zambian widlife refuge. African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) assisted in placing the mothers in the park over a year ago – after all but one of Zambia's rhinos were killed by poachers. The calves and their mothers are currently under heavy guard by the Zambia Wildlife Authority with support from AWF. When you look at the statistics, it is clear why this protection is imperative:
- 2007 – 13 rhinos killed
- 2008 – 83 rhinos killed
- 2009 – 122 rhinos killed
- 2010 – 333 rhinos killed (Source: Care2)
The disturbing rise in poaching is attributed to increased demand for rhino horn, which has long been prized as an ingredient in traditional Asian medicine. The numbers in the chart above astound and dishearten me. I think that's why the story of the baby rhino births grabbed me and wouldn't let go – it's a reminder that conservation can overcome the senseless damage humans inflict on endangered populations.
What gives you hope?

Microsoft Kinect Hacked Into Computer Gesture Interface
I've been thinking about computer interfaces for a while, and I was pleasantly surprised that Microsoft is embracing the hacking of the Kinect, instead of shunning it. The latest hack includes using the Kinect as an interface for your computer. Think about it, you could do air swipes and program complex gestures since the Kinect has so many IR spots to map what it sees.
This hack comes courtesy of the MIT Media Lab Fluid Interfaces Group, and it allows them to use their Kinect as a gestural interface for browsing the web.
But the MIT guys aren't the only gesture game in town. Evoluce's solution will support simultaneous multitouch and multiuser control of applications, which sounds pretty good to me. The video below showcases what Evoluce can do.
Frankly, I wasn't that interested in the Kinect on the Xbox 360, but it if can be used in this fashion, I'll buy one. It could potentially evolve into a multitouch remote control plugin for HTPCs and desktop computers.

My White Gold cherries are tasty, but they blush so much they might as well be red. Someone posted a photo of their Rainiers today that looked just the same. Are there any white cherries without so much bird-attracting color? |
Follow-Up Postings:
FWIW, birds used to take my yellow cherries when they were still greenish yellow without the least bit of red blush. Someone forgot to tell the birds that they aren't attracted to yellow sweet cherries, or it's just a myth/lie that the marketing people made up to sell more plants, one or the other. |
Have you tried christmas ornaments? No, really. Get red and green christmas ornaments roughly the same size as your cherries (they make 'em for those little tabletop trees) and hang them on the trees as soon as they start leafing out. I mean really deck the halls. Why? The birds will see them, and think they are fruit. They fly in, take a few pecks at them, realize they're not food, and fly off. If you do this early, they'll fly in a few times, repeatedly find the fakes, and will eventually just stop looking at the tree altogether (much like how you have to move owl/snake props around every few days or they become immune to those). That way when the real fruit comes in, the birds will think its just more ornaments and leave 'em alone. |
I've heard of that trick with strawberries, too. |
- Posted by scottfsmith 6B-7A-MD (My Page) on Sun, Jun 3, 12 at 22:33
I tried that trick on strawberries and it didn't work with my birds. I did have some luck with CDs in trees to keep birds out. This spring my White Gold was also much more blushed than usual. Most seasons it is not as blushed, not sure what was different this year. It worked out OK for me, the birds picked on a few of the reddest fruits and left most of them alone. I got a nice crop without netting. There are some white cherries with no blush, I have seen them in old cherry books, so its certainly possible. I don't know enough about the white cultivars of today to know which ones don't blush. Oh I think "Gold" is one of them, good luck finding it though. Scott |
I put up the plastic owls and some CDs and that seemed to keep them off for the most part. |

Rununculas are so fabulous, like little mini peonies. Are they easy to grow? I read a FAQ online but I don't know how much applied to my area (zone 6).
I am fairly new to bulbs in general. I rarely see anyone (neighbors) grow anything other than daffodils, tulips and the occasional hyacinth. Are they long blooming? Full sun? Plant in Fall? What is the best source to purchase them? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I wouldn't recommend them for your area. They need mild winters and long, cool springs. The heat just melts them. Every once in a while I can't resist though and I buy one or two that are already in bloom. They look great in pots outdoors until the weather heats up... then they fry. If you are intrested in "other" spring bulbs you came to the right place. Just ask and people will flood you with their favorites! |
I wouldn't recommend them for your area. They need mild winters and long, cool springs. The heat just melts them. I just read on line that is colder climates they are treated more as annuals. I'm wondering if maybe they could be grown much like glads, in that they are planted in the spring (maybe could even be started inside) and then in the fall dug and stored cool and dry. I know I bought some and left them in the ground here and they never returned. Sue actually it is Ranunculus |
Here is a link that might be useful: Some real beauties at Willow creek!
I noticed my misspelling after I posted! I am heartbroken. You know how you start thinking about something and decide you MUST have it. I will check out the link, thank you. |
You know how you start thinking about something and decide you MUST have it. Yes, yes, yes. Sure do! After I started looking at them, I started thinking of who I could maybe split an order with...or maybe even a 3 way (or more) split, since they come in 10 bulbs per variety. That Tecolote Cafe is stunning as is the purple, and the yellow. Sue |
Here is a link that might be useful: The main page of them
I hate to be the one who dampens enthusiasm but a friend and I both tried the bulbs a couple years ago. They sprouted ok while the weather was cool but then when temperatures rose they shriveled up. So my plan now is to build a greenhouse, keep it just warm enough to start them growing and then nurture them on so that when spring comes they are just perfect..... While we are on the subject of bulbs that you MUST have but probably should just forget about (at least for me in the NE USA)... I would recommend foxtail lily (eremurus)and anemone coronaria... both of which are probably more do-able than ranunculus. Don't even get me started on growing delphiniums! |

I got 4 they did ok then the heat got to them, the next year only 2 came back, did the same thing, then the next year only one came back. I cant grow delphiniums either.Primrose grows excellent here, should be marylands state flower. |

I live in East Tennessee. I only have a couple and they do good. When I first started gardening I planted some and the next year I forgot what the leaves looked like. I pulled them thinking they were weeds :( But like I said the two that I do have do well in my area. |
- Posted by cynthianovak 7/8 TX (My Page) on Tue, Apr 14, 09 at 0:35
I plant some every winter. They are blooming now in 7b/8a. They will last until June for me. I think that's pretty good for something fairly cheap. If I don't accidentally dig them up or chop them up, they come back. I've also tried to lift, dry and replant. That's been successful. Our winters get cold, but not as cold as yours. I've tried peonies for years. Have some nice looking plants each year..never even got a bud! Yes, they are suppposed to be good in my zone. Anyway, I think of these as a great replacement. I plant in early Jan. They bloom in late March early April. I get them from Van Engelen who sells the giants. I have to soak them and rehydrate before planting and always plant them claws down...just in case someone does know. c |
Cynthia, I planted peonies at our last house and they never bloomed. Then, my Husband returned to retrieve some stuff from the house after we sold it and he said "those pink things are blooming." So they didn't bloom for a couple of years after I planted them. They bloomed maybe year 2 or 3. Also you can't plant them too deeply, not sure if you tried that? Are you saying that you plant ranunculas every January? Like an annual? Kato, that link did not work for me so I will google them, thanks. So are you |
Sorry that SO ARE YOU was supposed to go with "so are you saying that you plant...." I goofed! |
- Posted by cynthianovak 7/8 TX (My Page) on Tue, Apr 14, 09 at 22:54
redsox Yes, I order a bag of them and plant in Jan when we plant out chilled tulips. OR, if I am on the ball, I can pull them, dry and store them and plant again. It all depends on whether I forget to lift them when I plant something else, or a something grows over the spot. Then, I accidentally dig them up when I plant in winter. They seem to be fine with our winters, but they aren't recommended for more northern zones. I get the giant mixture. Here is the link on Van Engelen. It seems that you would need to plant indoors for your zone. |

Cynthia- they sound like they are easier to grow than tulips in your area (no prechill)... are you ever tempted to cut back on the tulips and add more ranunculus instead? -or is it just that we always want whatever is more trouble to grow? |

smiles....probably! Tulips show up here as early as mid Feb for the early guys here. Ranunculus bloom in April. So tulips put on a grand show at least by the 2nd week in March when the rest of the world is dormant. I have people who bring elderly friends and parents by. You can see the tulips from the car if you can't get out. There are even a couple of local Drs who recommend that patients are driven by on the way home to give patients a boost from winter blahs. I can sit in my home office and watch the vans from some of the local assisted living places slowly drive by. First going east, then west. Even the school bus drivers come by. Sooo, while tulips are a hassel, I can't imagine not planting them blissfully mad about tulips c |
I see what you mean now... actually I think I remember you posting pictures a year or two back of your front tulip bed. If I remember correctly it was quite a sight! |

WESTERLY — As he works to close his independent bookstore by the end of April, Robert Utter said the Other Tiger is in three modes.
"We're in turbo turn-back-the-books-to-the-publishers mode," said Utter, 60, who opened the store with his sister and wife in 2003 and usually kept about 20,000 books on hand.
The store is also in "getting ready for the closing party mode. Everybody's invited," he said, promising "lots of door prizes" for the all-day party on April 30. Of the door prizes, he said, there will be some good ones and some bad ones.
"We're also in the mode of trying to market a lot of rare books. We have a lot of big-ticket rare books," he said, explaining that his house, which is full, had become a repository of "generations of local and historical stuff."
He is still hoping a buyer will come forward.
"Every single day in the last two weeks someone has said, 'I'm going to investigate buying the store.'" He has heard of perhaps 20 serious efforts. But so far, nothing has come through.
It's sad packing the books, he said, "because you love them and you don't want them to go." Almost any book he picks up, he thinks, "'That's a good one.' Then you have to put it in a box and say, 'I have to say goodbye to you.'
"We've had so much fun these past 10 years. It has just flown by," he said. But his doctor told him to stop working. He has chronic Lyme disease, he said, and the symptoms are neurological.
Selling books requires a lot of energy, he cautions potential buyers. "This is not a sit-around-and-read-books business."
He kept the store successful with customer service. "It was tangentially a bookstore, but it was essentially a customer service." He invited authors to readings and book signings, and he wrote and recorded his own radio commercials.
The store, which advertises that it's a "quiet place in a busy world," still has its cozy, peaceful atmosphere in the 200-year-old Victorian house stuffed with bookcases and with "uncommon delights," gifts such as puzzles, scarves and jewelry, reader bags, crocheted flying discs and hats made from recycled sweaters.
Top and bottom shelves were empty just before Easter, but the shelves at eye level were still full. A sign near the register says: "Thanks for shopping indie."
"It's been just a dreamlike journey," Utter said. "The fun of it, the work that we did is so satisfying."
After the closing on April 30 and cleaning up in May, Utter said, "I really have to start taking care of my health," Utter said. Also, "I owe my wife a trip to England."
And he wants to investigate a plan for saving the world — moving meltwater from the oceans to keep sea levels from rising.
He'll also stay busy with books.
He has given his cellphone number to some customers. "As long as you need books, as long as I'm alive, I'll get you books."
He has piles of books that he intends to sell on the Internet, such as brand new copies, printed in 1940 by Utter Publishing, of a history of the Seventh Day Baptist Church's first 100 years. He pointed out a stack of "The Alchemist," autographed by Paulo Coelho. They just came in. He knows he can sell them because Coelho rarely autographs books, he said.
People often asked where the name comes from, so he had bookmarks printed with the poem by Jorge Luis Borges. "The poem is about the real tiger," he explained in 2004 to The Journal's Katherine Imbrie, "plus the mythological tiger, and the spiritual tiger, all the tigers. It's a very evocative poem that contains the essence of what we feel about books, which is a huge love and appreciation for their power."
Utter said he didn't want to be too obvious but he couldn't resist propping, on a table near the front door, a book by Martin Jenkins with illustrations by Vicky White. The book is: "Can We Save the Tiger?"

Around Azeroth: The mushroom kingdom {WoW}
Dec 6th 2009 12:56PM The Emerald Dream would be a great opportunity to go ahead with freestyle fantasy stuff, maybe the ED is even the perfect transition to the 4th expansion in a revamped Outland and planets like Argus.
Around Azeroth: The mushroom kingdom {WoW}
Dec 6th 2009 10:18AM When I saw the outlands, and particularly the Zangarmarsh zone, for the very first time in the TBC beta, I was blown away by all this otherworldly stuff that's been a welcome creative contrast to the old classic Azeroth. Northrend is currently much more detailed, though (thanks to better hardware during the past years), and I do hope that the outlands get the same revision when the 4th expansion is released. That, plus new otherworldly stuff like draenei planet Argus. I'm gettimg a bit bored by classic worlds these days, and Cataclysm with the exception of the elemental planes will be mostly classic, too. The game needs dream and space stuff again! :)
Breakfast Topic: The high cost of playing {WoW}
Dec 6th 2009 9:01AM I have 10 characters on 2 servers, one of every currently possible race/class combo (10 races 10 classes). 4 characters are level 80, and the rest level 70+.
Breakfast Topic: The high cost of playing {WoW}
Dec 6th 2009 8:52AM I've already spent $500 or so for transfer or change services just to try other servers and get my favorite race/class combos on the two servers I'm playing on. If I break down the 500 bucks to 5 years, that's around 10 bucks per month extra, or the cost of a monthly gaming print magazine. Since I don't buy print magazines, I'm perfectly fine with that.
Furthermore, these services actually add extra value to the game since playing on another server or playing a new race/class combo (while maintaining the former max level) is a completely new game experience. I personally would pay even 30 bucks if I don't have to grind through the 80 levels and professions, buy new mounts etc again. Well, and if my $500 are for Bruce Campbell as King Varian Wrynn in the WoW movie, that'd be just great! ;)
PS: I hope that Blizzard soon adds cool custom mounts to their online shop because I want a really hellish motorbike for my death knight!

86 Mr H. C. Smart, Department of Information Liaison Officer in London, to Department of Information
Cablegram unnumbered LONDON, 29 August 1940, 7.34 p.m.
With regard to new high power shortwave broadcasting transmitter being erected at Singapore, Ministry of Information ask that you be informed that it will be under local control of Straits Settlements Government, but that its work, roughly three-fifths of which is designed for countries outside Malaya, will be controlled by the Ministry. It will provide news service for China, Japan, Indo-China, Thailand etc. One of its problems will be supply of news and other topical material for these transmissions. It will relay [sic] mainly on B.B.C., B.O.W. [1], Reuters and supplemented by special messages direct from the Ministry. Ministry consider it highly desirable should also have access to news originating in Australia and asks your assistance by supplying such material.
They point out that Australia has vital interest in Far Eastern affairs, and Australian opinion has not been always satisfied that its own outlook fully taken into account in British policy of publicity regarding Far Eastern affairs. Whilst most clearly undivided control policy of Singapore station [2]' seems desirable those charge Singapore should be made directly aware of Australian reaction to Far Eastern events, and Australian official, unofficial opinion concerning them. Director designated Singapore Station Eric Davis shortly leaving here for tour of Far Eastern countries before taking post, will reach Singapore some time November, address care Governor. Ministry suggest you may care to establish direct contact with Davis in order to work out plan of mutual co-operation.

By Daryl Collins, Jonathan Morduch, Stuart Rutherford and Orlanda Ruthven (Princeton University Press, $29.95). By Patrick Kelley
The World Bank estimates that 2.5 billion people—a full 40 percent of the people living on the planet—live on about US$2 a day or less. How do they manage to afford food, education, health expenses, shelter and even personal enrichment? "Portolios of the Poor" provides a view of how low-income people manage their money and find surprisingly sophisticated ways of coping. Researchers spent a year visiting families every two weeks, keeping track of the financial diaries of life on less than $2 a day. An example in their book is that of Hamid and Khadeja in Bangladesh. From Hamid's rickshaw work and Khadeja's sewing, they earn about $70 a month. "You wouldn't expect them to have much of a financial life, but their balance sheet tells another story," the authors write. "In savings, the couple keeps $2 at home for daily shortfalls and $30 with Hamid's parents for safekeeping. They have lent $40 to relatives and invested $76 in life insurance. They have also borrowed $153 from a microfinance institution and owe $24, interest-free, to family, friends and an employer. Finally, Khadeja serves as a 'moneyguard' for her neighbors, holding $20 for women who are stashing cash beyond their husbands' reach. 'I don't really like having to deal with other people over money, but if you're poor, there's no alternative,' Khadeja said. 'We have to do it to survive.' " The book illustrates that one of the most difficult aspects of poverty is not just the lack of income, but its irregularity and variability. Income's ebbs and flows, combined with the lack of access to formal financial instruments, create a need for some unusual coping mechanisms. Community-led rotating savings and credit cooperatives, burial societies, neighborhood moneyguards, microfinance loans and systems of extended family borrowing may seem strange to rich world citizens, but "Portfolios of the Poor" shows how they make sense. The book bridges what is sometimes a divide between rigorous academic analysis and real human insights. "The intensity of getting to know the characters in the financial diaries informed our perspective on financial behavior as much as our scrutiny of the data we collected," the authors write. "We and our field team got to know not only which respondents were using what financial devices, but also gained a deeper and more personal understanding of who these people were." It's an informative read for the Habitat for Humanity community for several reasons. First, shelter needs play a prominent role in the lives of those profiled. In fact, housing and property expenditures were either the first or second most common event the poor had to prepare and plan for. Second, as Habitat strives to develop demand-driven programs, understanding the nuances of the tradeoffs, perceptions of value, price points and coping mechanisms of the poor is critical. "Portfolios of the Poor" provides richly insightful intelligence for the market Habitat wants to serve. Finally, it's important to note that there is a Habitat connection in its authorship. Daryl Collins works for Bankable Frontiers, a Boston consulting firm that helps governments and private organizations research and develop innovative ways to create more inclusive economies and fight poverty. Bankable Frontiers led the 2009 study "Capitalizing housing finance for the poor" for Habitat for Humanity, which prompted Habitat's board of directors to pass a resolution creating the Habitat for Humanity MicroBuild Fund. Patrick Kelley is director of international housing finance at Habitat for Humanity International. For an interview with the authors of "Portfolios of the Poor," visit NPR's Planet: www.npr.org/blogs/globalpoolofmoney/images/2009/07/podcast07.08.09.mp3

I am looking for information on the parents and siblings of Valentine Sherrell. Valentine was born on January 16, 1864 and died February 11, 1937. He is buried in Grassy Hollow Cemetery in Shannon County, Missouri. His death certificate states his father's name was George from Tennessee. He married Mary Etta Walls and resided near Eminence, Shannon County, Missouri. If anyone can help, I sure do need it.

Yeah, I like that! That would look really awesome!
I will post pics. thanks for liking my idea!
I second Tinks # 2
Sounds like a plan and half, T. You just promise me you'll GTG those one-arm pushups 'til the day you keel over to make sure that piece of fine art stays looking sharp.
I promise. also, Vlad has been working me over still, so hopefully I'll never have too many tattoos that just look a picture of the blob.
OoOOooOoO!! That's a great idea! Putting a hidden Mickey on you somewhere. Oh man when I go to get my Tink Tat (hopefully the weekend after we're back from the world) I may have to have them do a little HM for me too. I like the foot idea. Maybe on my big toe? Hmmmmm!!!
Just be prepared for everyone in the parks to think they're fake. I hardly get anyone that mentions mine, and if they do, it's to ask me if they're real. I was so excited when I got the Sorcerer Mickey, I wanted everyone to see it. We were standing in line at FOTLK and these ladies are talking behind us about how real the temporary tattoos look now. My DH turned around and said, oh no, her's is real, that was real pain!! I guess I can understand why people would think they were fake, but it would be fun for people at WDW to notice them, since it's my love of that whole thing that made me get them in the first place :)
I have a firefighter mickey on my side, my friend dana done as tink on my leg, and a midsummer quote on my back.
the midsummer quote has a hidden mickey. it says, "lord what fools these mortals be" and has foliage, designs, etc. if you look at it under a blacklight however there is a classic mickey in the center.
kind of a bad shot, was still being done at the time. will post better when I leave work.
That is really awesome! I think the blacklight tattoos are pretty cool! And what better to get then a hidden Mickey? lol!
That's sooooooo cool!
Here is my wand and pixie dust tatto, its on my right foot. I cropped the pic to spare you guys from seeing my feet (hehe). It was my first tattoo so i wanted something simple and pretty.
That is awesome. I think I want another tat now, geez they are kind of addictive lol.
