It interests me
It's a subject that interests me. I have no financial interest in any sailing product of any kind, as much as I like sailing and wish I could be paid for it, I work in finance.
I joined sailnet to use the lists feature, and have browsed the forums for years. I think I'll stick to the lists.
I also have
claimed to be an authority on this subject at all. I have talked to people who have done it, including an all electric Catamaran and a few monohulls, but never to anyone who used a commercial off the shelf system.
I never advocated any particular product either by the way. My posts don't advertise for anyone. Electric has worked for the people I have talked to.
One of the reasons you might find people post for the first time is when they don't find information existing in the forums. I am considering the pitfalls and whether they are worth it. I think they are.
Aside from all of that, this whole thing seams a bit childish. It isn't what I was looking for, and I wasn't looking for an all pro-electric discussion either.
Anyhow there is no point in arguing over this anymore.

What do we really need, and what is just a luxury? Tiny as baby is, she sure seems to need a lot of stuff. These checklists should set you up for the first couple of months, and help you figure out what to register for.

I'd like to register in one place - but be able to choose items from different stores and websites. Does such a registry exist? serenamca | re: Q: Registering for Baby? There is a website called myregistery.com where you can register as many stores as you can find! Enjoy ~ inny inny | re: Q: Registering for Baby? how many places should i register at? Baby LaFond | Q&A: Registering for baby? If you're looking to register in one place, but from different sources you could try Amazon.com. We have a registry at a store, but we also have a registry there since some items are much cheaper. Musicalniss | Q&A: Registering for baby? We just registered at one place: Babies R Us, you can get a list of helpful things. We LOVE our video monitor the best out of any present....Ours is hand held so you can go outside and do everything and still see your little one, it is a MUST to get, so get a good one. Also my cousin got us this thing called BabyPlus it is a prenatal device and I would definetly get that....you can read more about BabyPlus at www.babyplus.com. Tsmommy10 | Q&A: Registering for baby? TSMommy- just curious, which video monitor did you get? I've been researching products, but its always nice to hear from others which one worked for them. Thanks cammie6549 | Q&A: Registering for baby? You should purchase the Baby Bargains Book, they have all the ratings and a sample registry in the back. Go through the book write down what you want then go to the websites and see where the prices are the best. I registered at Babys R Us and Target. deniselynnrudolph | Q&A: Registering for baby? myregistry.com (as a previous poster mentioned) is great ! You sign up, and it adds a link to your favorites. You browse ANY online store, and when you find things you like, you simply click that link (in your favorites). A pop up appears, with some info filled in (the store name, item name, etc.), and you simply enter how many you want, and a color IF there is a color option. Occasionally the price that shows up on the pop up is incorrect, so just watch for that, and fix if needed. This really allowed me to bargain shop, and use the stores that offered the lowest prices on the items I wanted (I like the idea of getting gifts, but always feel badly asking for things, and saving the buyer some money makes me feel a little better). The site also has numerous lists and suggestions for your registy, which helps. And if your interested, you can print out cards (business card size) in various prints that discreetlly let people know where you're registered. I did use them, but only for younger people. Anyone past the age of using the internet, or those that I felt sure would think it was tacky did not get them. bcharity | Q&A: Registering for baby? How long did you wait to register? This is our first and my very anxious mom is urging me to start before Christmas. I'll be 19 weeks in 2 days... is this too early? JJcre8 | Q&A: Registering for baby? I don't think it would be too early to register. Sometimes you can't get it all done at once. It also gives you more time to compare brands and colors. I started to register at 14 weeks so I could go with my mother who lives far away. boyscout8 | Q&A: Registering for baby? I just turned 18 weeks but started my registries at Target and Babies R'Us about 2 weeks ago. It's nice to be able to add things as I think of them and be able to research items and just add them online. I haven't told anyone about the registries yet, but it's nice to have them up and running for convenience sake! Sarahlynn79 | Q&A: Registering for baby? Most of my shower guests and family do not shop online, but will go to an actual brick and mortar store. I registered at Target. I figure if some of the people who don't live near a target will probably just get the baby what they want from whatever store is near them. That said, I did register for essentials. Some of the stuff is a little more expensive ($30 and up). The way I figure is, if we don't receive what is on our registry, it will be a good shopping list. The biggest things I registered for is a pack and play, a baby bjorn, a floor play gym, a swing, a boppy, and a portable high chair. The rest is just little essentials (bath stuff, blankets, health kit, diapers). I know we won't receive everything on our registry. It's more of a guideline for those that want to give the baby a gift but don't know what. I'd be happy to receive nothing but big boxes of diapers! happy_trails | Q&A: Registering for baby? A friend who recently had her second child advised me not to waste a large amount of time with clothes on the registry. She said people are just going to buy the things they like anyway so as long as they know when and what you are having you should be set. We are headed Saturday since we find out this afternoon! X0xtilsterx0x | Q&A: Registering for baby? Consider an eco-friendly baby registry - www.ourgreenhouse.com has all natural and organic products musedavis | Q&A: Registering for baby? We just started a registry at kaboodle.com and love that you can register at ANY store on the internet-- and it has price comparisons, you can search and find options at lots of stores-- saves a lot of surfing! lmdulane1 | Q&A: Registering for baby? When do you register?!?!? At what point should we register?!?!?! njknibbs04 | Q&A: Registering for baby? Well, don't plan to get anything you put on the registry. This comes from a pregnant lady whose wedding registry was ignored for a load of silver and china. We created a baby registry at AMAZON.COM but people keep sending cutsie stuff they want to buy, rather than stuff we actually need. Also, some moms (like myself) have carefully researched the items we want and receiving random stuff is going to make us have to return these items, if we have time, and also have to spend money actually purchasing the things we need. It is all very frustrating. I am not a jerk or an ungrateful person, I just do not understand why people do not want to actually purchase things we can use. For the record, we live in a one bedroom apartment in San Francisco, and I have repeatedly told people we don't have any room to spare:( HannahArthur | Q&A: Registering for baby? Babies R US and Target are awesome ones..they ship to APO/FPO addresses! Reilly410 | Q&A: Registering for baby? www.babyearth.com is great- they have a ton of eco-friendly products, but they also ship for free on purchases over $50 agreenaffair | Q&A: Registering for baby? While there's a lot of stuff that you need... there's also a lot of stuff that you don't need. We had so much stuff given to us when we had DS, but we found that mostly we only used the basics. Of course the crib, rocking chair, stroller and car seats are must-haves. Changing tables? Only if you have room for it. A floor makes a perfectly adequate changing table too! Nursing pillows, yes! Bottle warmer... no. You can warm up water in a pot on the stove and put the bottle in it and it works just as well. I would go through each item on your registry in your head in advance... think about if you already have something that can substitute (safely) for the item. If so, then delete it from your registry. CMoul001 | Q&A: Registering for baby? We live in the NY area and registered at BBB & BRU. I found the personal shoppers to be very helpful as they walk through the store with you and discuss items needed. I also found that BBB has much more organic produces than BRU if that's something to look for MariDave01 | Q&A: Registering for baby? Is it okay to register for a second child? It will be 6 years inbetreen by children is is okay if i register for a few things.. bottles, blankets, car seat? or do you find it tacky? Giese78 | Q&A: Registering for baby? oops! Sorry that should have read: Is it okay to register a second child? It will be 6 yrs in between by children. Is it okay to register (target) for a few things like bottles, blankets, carseat... Or, Do you think that iit s tacky???? Giese78 | Q&A: Registering for baby? Giese78- no its not tacky to want to register your 2nd child for new bottles, blankets, etc. its not like you are asking for high chairs, swing sets and changing tables. it would just be nice to get the new baby some new fresh stuff. :) Jennarose517 | Q&A: Registering for baby? Thank you to the people who wrote about MyRegistry.com! As soon as i read that i went to the website and signed up and it has been sooo helpful! Jennarose517 | Q&A: Registering for baby? Definately a diaper disposal. I also have a way to make it more appealing using a bundle cover. Google it! kmeade44 | Q&A: Registering for baby? My question is my son will be 3 on the 23rd I wasn't planning on anymore. So I gave everything but the crib away. I have people asking me where I'm registered. I'm 16 weeks is it ok to register and only tell those who ask? Its also my boyfriend's first child and we aren't currently living together. Not sure what I should do. Any help of advice would be appreciated. misscarolyn06 | Q&A: Registering for baby? Life happens. You are pregnant and should feel wonderful about that! If people have a problem, unfortuately, that is something they have to deal with. Your job is to be a good mom. Register and celebrate! bradygl | Q&A: Registering for baby? at Amazon.com you can create a baby registry and even add items from OTHER websites, such as Wal-mart, Target, Babies R Us, etc using their "Universal" button. This way you can have just ONE baby registry with all the items you want =) Amazon is especially great because the items ordered from their warehouse have free shipping. When you add items from other stores (such as the stores listed above) you will be charged a shipping fee but guests are free to order through the main sites or buy the items in store and can click "buying item elsewhere" on your registry so that item will be taken off the list and not bought twice. RachyD | Q&A: Registering for baby? Do not register at Target my sister and friend had a lot of trouble returning items they got duplicates of. Just to mention a couple. Babies R US and Buy Buy Baby are good places to register at. mlb781 | Q&A: Registering for baby? This is my second baby after 5 yrs. We had registered at Target. Just watch what you register for because many things are exclusively for online. I had to go in the store and do some additional scanning for my store shoppers only. I registered for important things such as a new car seat (btw are different and better than 5 yrs ago) stroller, bouncer, diapers, baby care items and cute clothes at all sizes and different seasons. They has very good reasonable prices. I wasn't going to register at Babies r us. They are too expensive for the pocket. Consider others' finances. They really appreciate it bznursnchic9 | Q&A: Registering for baby? I agree with HannahArthur, creating a registry is a total waste of time. I spent a lot of time choosing the things we would need as soon as our baby arrives as we do not have a lot of room to spare and created registries at Amazon.com Baby and Target. We only got our car seat (purchased by my mother) and a diaper bag out of the 35 items we had between the two registries--and we didn't even register for spendy things!!! It is very frustrating because we just received a TON of clothes that we do not need rather than the things that would be of practical use to us. So now on top of the doctor and hospital bills we have to go out and buy all of the other things that we need. I too don't want to sound ungreatful, but there is a reason why people create registries! Shenze | Q&A: Registering for baby? Sidenote, if you register at Target and don't get everything on your list, you get 10% off if you buy anything on it. BethanyLyn82 | Q&A: Registering for baby? Think about the practicality of each item you register for. A wipe warmer is nice, but is it really an essential? You won't need sippy cups for at least 8 months. Bowls spoons and cups till around 6 months. Think of what you will need immediately when you bring baby home. Also, don't register for clothes, they will be hard for people to find because they will have to match the UPC codes. Registering for diapers is a must. CNAMamaof2 | Q&A: Registering for baby? I'm super early along (only 7 weeks) but I had my first prenatal appt and they brought up all of the cord blood stuff. After looking into it, one of the companies available here in Maryland is CBR and they allow you to place your account with them on your registry so friends and family could contribute to the cost of banking the blood. I think it's a great idea because it is a little expensive up front ($2100), but I feel like that's tacky...any thoughts??? melann18 | Q&A: Registering for baby? Basics that I always ask for (this is my 5th time around... LOL): + Bottles (2oz to 8oz) - the smaller ones are needed when you first come home. + Diapers (Newborn to Size 2 boxes) - anything you don't use & unopened, you can return + Wipes (lots & and lots of boxes) + Formula - again, anything I don't use, I can return + Onesies (newborn to 3/6 mos) - these are INVALUABLE!!! OMG! + Sleep & Play Sleepers (newborn to 6/9 mos) - awesome for around home, etc + Cloth Diapers - I use them for burp rags, lap rags, changing pads, crib sheet savers... + Swaddler - newborns love to be 'baby burrito'd'... and I can never get the blankets tight enough. This is the most amazing creation EVER! + Snuggli + Pack & Play (that way you have a 'crib' no matter WHERE you go!) + Baby Monitor + Basic Baby First Aid Kit - infant tylenol/motrin, thermometer, gas relief (colic SUCKS), aspirator for boogies, safety nail clippers, etc + Good Car Seat/Carrier/Stroller combo + Receiving blankets - the thicker ones my kids never liked, they all preferred the lighter blankets If you need more, just let me know! :-) musesinspiration | Q&A: Registering for baby? Wow! I just want to say thanks to everyone for taking the time to write all this stuff! I'm a first-time pregant mom and I feel like I got so much information from your answers. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!! jbauerbuckley | Q&A: Registering for baby? Museinspiration: awesome and helpful list of things that are MOST important! Thank you!! emjay131313 | Q&A: Registering for baby? Best registry advice I got from a handful of new moms that I will pass on: If you announce your baby's sex, you will get a ton of clothes instead of what you actually register for! I've been to about 10 showers so far this year (5 were thrown for me), and the "unknown gender" moms-to-be got more of what was on their registries, and those who knew what they were having got a ton of clothes instead. DH and I chose not to find out our baby's sex and we ended up getting all of our big, expensive registry items: travel system, high chair, pack-and-play, swing, doorway jumper, monitor, changing table, etc... some of the more costly stuff was bought by either immediate family or a group of co-workers who would each put in $20 for something big. ysudiva | Q&A: Registering for baby? Register for anything and everything you might possibly want/need. Its not like people HAVE to buy what you register or anything so it really doesnt matter what you put on it but it gives people lots of options if they are going to buy something and all it takes is the click of a button. authorofdreamz | Q&A: Registering for baby? I tried a registry with my family but it seemed like the only ppl sticking to it was me and my parents. My aunts and uncles sent checks and cards while my in laws just bought whatever they wanted. I wound up asking for the receipts because I got many duplicates of outfits and items. This time around I'm asking everyone who is coming to my shower to keep the receipts of the items with them unless they are planning on following my registry. AkiraWindflyer | Q&A: Registering for baby? I have to agree with the comment about not telling what the gender is. This is my first and some friends that had twins suggested not telling what the gender was. At least not right away. They didn't want to know the gender and when the time came for their shower, they got all the essentials and things they actually wanted/needed instead of 20 pink bibs. poconc | Q&A: Registering for baby? This has been very useful to me, thank you!! I had a very difficult time with my wedding registry, and I really didn't want a repeat performance, where I ended up getting most of what we needed, because people had given me "decorative" earthenware. Yeah. Thanks again!!!! HStern79 | Q&A: Registering for baby? There are many helpful things but we LOVE the bumbo seat! We take it everytime we go out to eat for our almost 5 month old. We put him in it when our food comes and he'll sit in it long enough for us to get through dinner. Hes not a fan of sitting in the carseat if we aren't moving.... email@example.com | Q&A: Registering for baby? Figuring out what to put on the registering list wasn't easy.My husband helped my sure, but my best friend suggested me Yourlist.com. In the end we received all the things in the list. AudreySimpson | Q&A: Registering for baby? It is very difficult to decide what is really necessary to put on the list while creating a baby registry.I remember that two years ago when I've made my baby's registry I put there clothes,diapers,toys and also a soy baby formula. AidaRoRo | Q&A: Registering for baby? how interesting about the gender revealing and baby shower gifts! i never would have thought of that. maybe my husband and i will find out but not tell people until after the showers so that we can hopefully receive more essentials and less gendered onesies and bibs. thanks for the tip!! frenchsc | Q&A: Registering for baby?

This is probably going to sound like a stupid question but this is my first and I have no idea what I'm doing/talking about - but what are some items that I should be starting to pick up myself? Do you usually register for bigger items like furniture, strollers, breast pumps, and then work on rounding out the rest of what you need yourself? Do most people wait until their shower and see what they still need afterwards? Any advice is appreciated :) MeghanHudson | Q&A: Registering for baby? This is my first pregnancy. I've decided to register for A LOT of items. I first asked friends and acquaintances what they used a lot of for their baby and built my list from there.

3 states, 3 weeks and 2000 miles in a Jeep - Day 18
Monday July 3rd 2006
We woke around 7.30am and slowly got up with a cup of tea and some cereal. By 9.15am we were packed and ready to go. After packing the car and settling up we quickly took a look in the Hopi House right opposite the El Tovar, it had some lovely pottery but much too delicate to get home. So we were off on the open road again! As we left the Grand Canyon we stopped for one quick picture. We had to stop for fuel in Tusayan and as we hadnt had brekkie we popped into the McDonalds which was next door for a Sausage and Egg McMuffin with hash brown Feeling suitably fuelled up it was then time to cover about 150 miles we had already driven only 3 days ago, until we got to the 93 to head north to Las Vegas via the Hoover Dam. As we approached the 93 huge signs warned of long delays and to take alternative route through Laughlin and up the 95 but we ignored this as we wanted to see the Hoover Dam. Again the roads we straight and to be honest there was little to no traffic so we were a bit confused about the warnings! Anyway we kept going and going and suddenly we were nearly at the Hoover Dam, with not a queue in sight. We then had a quick stop at the security checkpoint, we had to wind down the rear windows so that the Official could see there was the two of us, we were off. It was clear that the new road was going in, slowly and it wasnt due to be completed for a few years yet. At present no goods vehicles are allowed across the Hoover Dam only private motor cars and tour buses so having a new bridge is likely to save a lot of time for truckers travelling west through Arizona for Las Vegas. As we went over the brow of the hill we then saw the Hoover Dam in front of us and the road winding down towards it. We stopped briefly at a parking area to take in the view from above. It was then time to drive across the bridge and as we did I took pictures of the two water towers showing the time in Arizona and Nevada, as Arizona generally doesnt observe Daylight Saving Time in winter they would be one hour ahead of Nevada but being as it was summer they were the same. I must say that the Hoover Dam has changed since I lat visited in 1995 and the car park I remember on the Nevada side is now for employees of the Dam only and visitor parking is in a huge multi storey car park built into the hillside! It was now lunchtime and we stopped and parked and had a wander over the Dam, looking at how huge it was and imagining the engineering feat that it must have been to construct some 70 years ago. There is also a little plaque showing the stateline which is quite interesting as it is the dead centre of the Dam! Lake Mead which feeds the Dam was looking very very low and the mark on the side of the cliffs showed how full it usually is. Wow was it hot walking along the Dam but considering it is so enclosed from any breeze and is full of rock I guess that is no surprise. It was amazing to see how tall the Dam actually was and all the buildings at the bottom. It was then time to head off to Las Vegas. As we left we then found out what they meant by long delays but it was for people going from Nevada to Arizona and the queue must have been 5 miles long at least! It was nice then to see the Nevada sign and know that we were nearly at our final stop.

Getting into Las Vegas was easy but as soon as we turned off the freeway to get onto the strip we hit bumper to bumper traffic! We arrived onto the Strip down by the MGM Grand and as we looked up towards the Bellagio we thought it looked rather small compared to how it appeared on the TV in say Ocean's 11! Soon we were driving up the road into the Bellagio and debating whether to go for valet parking or not as we didn't know how much it cost. Due to the amount of luggage we decided to opt for valet for the first night and as we got out we were informed as we were guests valet was complimentary, great news we thought As we went towards the lobby we could see huge queues at the checkin desks but as I ahd booked through Virgin Holidays we were able to use the preferred guest checkin desks As it was still mid afternoon there were no non-smoking rooms ready but we were assured all rooms were thoroughly cleaned and if we didn't like the room it could be changed so we accepted the room as went up to it. It was on the 20th floor and first impressions were WOW! The room looked and smelt fine so we arranged for the luggage to be brought up.
The room was huge and very nicely furnished, we also had fun with the electronically operated drapes But the view from the room was fab, very very impressive The bathroom was also very large and had a lovely double sized shower, but I was disappointed that there was only a single sink. After settling in we went out and decided to head off to the Premium Outlets at the North end of the Strip as Nathan wanted to see if the Lacoste shirts were on offer!! It was still very warm out and we had a wander round the Mall was very similar to the Orlando Premium Outlets and had some good shops. I ended up buying a pair of beige Skechers along with a pair of black Skechers slip on flip flop type shoes. It was now gone 6.30pm so we started to head back to the hotel. Once back we thought it was time to to get a bit to eat, easier said than done on July 3rd as the place was heaving most of the buffets had 2 hour queues and we were disappointed hotel guests didn't get a quicker seatting than non hotel guests. So we went off up the strip, our main aim was to get tickets to see Pirates of the Caribbean 2 as soon possible after midnight on Friday, as we were flying home later that day. Prior to arriving I had checked out where the nearest cinema was and it was up towards the MGM so off we went. We soon found the cinema and the tickets were purchased and placed in a safe place!! It was then time to find something to eat and we eventually found the buffet at the MGM and started eating. The selection was huge and the cokes were refilled time and time again. Feeling full we left the MGM and stopped for some piccies before we wandered back down to the Bellagio. It was a slow wander as the side walks were packed and to be honest the amount of people drinking from beer bottles was amazing, not to mention the number of people handing out flyers for various off the Strip shows and call girls, it gave a very sleazy impression of Las Vegas at night. Soon we were back in our room and ready for a good nights sleep. Claire

FirstEnergy Begins To Restore Power To Customers As Hurricane Sandy Slams East Coast
Customers are encouraged to be safe and prepare for the extended outages:
- Never touch a line that is on the ground or hanging from an electrical pole. Even though a line may look harmless, it may be carrying electricity.
- Keep children and pets away from downed wires, and never attempt to remove trees or limbs from power lines because they could conduct electricity.
- If a downed line is near water, keep far away. Stay out of flooded basements, even if the power is off.
- Do not drive over downed wires, and stay away from downed lines that are in contact with vehicles.
- Unplug appliances such as refrigerators and freezers, and sensitive electronic equipment such as TVs and computers, so that they won't overload when power is restored.
- When operating a generator, always disconnect the power coming into your home or power from your generator could be sent back onto the utility lines, creating a hazardous situation for utility workers and the public. In addition, the proper generator should be selected and installed by a qualified electrician, and generators should only be used outdoors and only in well-ventilated areas.
- Never use your stove, gas grill or a heater designed for outdoor use to heat your home, as deadly carbon monoxide gas can accumulate.

I agree: my quiver of long sleeved shirts is mostly populated by Woot designs. Sadly, no one from Woot is commenting on the disappearance of long sleeved shirts. It seems redundant to have 3 styles of sweatshirt, and no long-sleeved offerings, but let's see what Woot says....

A compact crossover?
More than a year ago, General Motors teased the media with a preview of several upcoming products, including an attractive Buick crossover smaller than the Chevy Equinox. Although that design looked ready for showrooms, production is still a ways off. Expect the crossover's auto-show debut sometime in 2012.
Regal GS
WHAT A Buick sport sedan, less than what it could have been.
WHEN Late 2011
LET'S HOPE THERE'S A GNX The Regal GS's Opel contemporary touts a 300-hp turbo V-6 driving all four wheels. Yet in America, we have to settle for the turbo 2.0-liter turned up to 255 hp and front-wheel drive. GM's HiPer Strut front suspension helps quell torque steer, and electronically adjustable dampers can be switched among three modes.
WHAT Another Buick brand expansion, this time into small cars.
WHEN Late 2011
BETTER BADGE ENGINEERING Buick has designed a handsome exterior and an upscale interior with features like a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and keyless ignition. Based on the European Opel Astra, the Verano's debut engine is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder good for 177 hp and 31 mpg on the highway. A 2.0-liter turbo will arrive later.
WHAT Cadillac's long-awaited competitor to the BMW 3-series.
WHEN 2013 for the sedan; coupe, convertible, and V models will follow
WATCH THE WEIGHT GM vehicles tend to tip the scales more than their competitors. Engineers realize that they must do better with the ATS's all-new Alpha platform. How well they do will have heavy (pardon the pun) implications not only for the integrity of this sport sedan (illustrated below), but also for the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Power will likely come from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V-6, with the V-series using either a small-block V-8 or a turbo V-6.
WHAT Owners tell Cadillac not to mess with the current Escalade formula, but that doesn't mean Cadillac won't also build a seven-passenger crossover.
LAMBDA PARTY GM has for several years been considering a Cadillac based on its Lambda platform, which also underpins the Chevrolet Traverse, the Buick Enclave, and the GMC Acadia. Sounds dangerously like old-GM rebadging to us.
WHAT A large sedan -- Cadillac pointedly has not referred to it as a flagship -- that will replace both the STS and the DTS.
NOT YOUR GRANDPA'S DEVILLE The fact that the XTS will ride on the same front-wheel-drive architecture that underpins the Buick LaCrosse has generated some hand wringing in the enthusiast community. But a low-slung test mule spotted wearing Brembo brakes indicates that Cadillac isn't renouncing its performance religion. The XTS initially will be powered by an updated version of GM's 3.6-liter V-6, with more powerful and more efficient engine options likely to follow.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Dragons' Den is a series of reality television programmes featuring entrepreneurs pitching their business ideas in order to secure investment finance from a panel of venture capitalists. The show originated in Japan as "マネーの虎" (Tiger of Money, a pun on "Tiger of Malaya", the nickname of WWII general Tomoyuki Yamashita).[citation needed] The format is owned by Sony Pictures Television.
The contestants are usually product designers or service operators who have what they consider to be a viable and potentially very profitable business idea, but who lack funding and direction. They pitch their idea to five rich entrepreneurial businesspeople, the eponymous "dragons" (or "tigers" in the original Japanese show, "sharks" in the U.S. and Israeli versions and "lions" in Finland and Romania). Before the show, the contestants have named a specific amount of money that they wish to get (along with a percentage in the business that the contestant is offering to sell to the investors), and the rules stipulate that if they do not raise at least this amount from the dragons, they get nothing. In return, the contestant gives the dragons a percentage of the company's stock, which is the chief point of negotiation. The program does not show the entire pitch as scenes are selected and edited from the episode due to time constraints.
The dragons probe the idea further once the contestant has made the presentation. This will either reveal a sound business proposition that the investor may become interested in investing capital in return for equity, or an embarrassing lack of preparation on the part of the contestant (such as the contestant's lack of knowledge of the business' profits or margins), the uncovering of troubling facts (such as insufficient sales or manufacturing margins) or other reasons which may play a factor in the investors consequently rejecting the investment (such as the investor asking for a larger equity stake in the business than the contestant wants to give up, the contestant's valuation on the business being too high compared to its overall profits, the product not having any proprietary value or the investor's belief that they cannot add value to the business). A contestant may give a counteroffer to the investors, if they feel their offer is not sufficient compared to the contestant's initial offer, which may also be subject to rejection if the investor feels the contestant asking for too high a monetary amount and/or an insufficiently low equity than the investor's previous offer.
Dragons' Den series have been produced in numerous different countries. Apart from in Japan (where the show debuted) the show names, structures, and styles are based upon the UK version.

Channeling your inner temptress doesn't have to mean dressing in the most revealing outfits, as the Allure Korea 'The Seduction' photo spread shows. Instead, it is all about the attitude and presentation. Seduction is an art form that should not rely heavily on simply the body. In this case, the body is captivating and concealed in tuxedo-inspired outfits, which are not always considered extremely sexy (at least to men).
Shot by Catherine Servel, the Allure Korea The Seduction editorial has a masculinity about it that is powerful, yet not macho. It is this take-control mindset that will really drive men wild. Model Jacquelyn Jablonski knows just how to balance her femininity with masculinity to create an enticing effect.

Yes! As often as I can. Same with family. In fact, I end every phone conversation with "I love you". Diety only knows if that is the last time I ever talk to that person. If it is, then I want those to be the last words that person ever heard me say.

I don't, but I'm not a very visibly affectionate person with anyone other than close family. I'm not even really comfortable with greeting hugs, so "I love you" is pretty much out of the question. Maybe I've come out with a "Love ya" before but thats about it. Or a joking "Love you too!" when one of my friends kills me on xbox live.
I don't think I've had any friends say it to me since maybe high school or college either.

Not a day goes by when I don't say it to my kids* . . . they do the same to me.
Family members, on the phone, we usually close with "I love you's." Get togethers, there are always hugs and love you's. Both with hello and goodbye.
Close friends? Not so much. If we've had a particularly warm heart-to-heart conversation or someone is going through a tough time or someone does something special for me or even when someone has a great day! Yes, I'll say it freely and really mean it. But it's not habit.
CWs? They have a habit of saying "Love You!" then, in answer "Love You More!" when questions are answered or little favors are done. I have a difficult time with this because it almost seems to belittle the phrase.
Do I love the CWs? Yes, I suppose I do. They are the best CWs in the world. Heck, I've known them all for 15+ years. How can I not love them?
*Sometimes I wonder when I say it to my kids that it is a habit and does it sound trite? Maybe it shouldn't be said so often?

Only if it's true, that they are much more than just an acquaintance. You don't wanna throw it around casually.
I wish I had told one person in my life, though I think he knew it. I got a call that he had suddenly died and it was too darned late. I don't expect to be lucky enough to have that kind of friend a second time in life.

With my very close friends, absolutely. My two best girlfriends are like family. One's like a sister, the other a mom/big sister so I love them a great deal and let them know!
I'm one who wears her heart on her sleeve so it's not hard for me to say it.

I say it to a couple of friends who are my very close friends. I'm afraid of being one of those people who throws it around too much, and people end up thinking she/he is disingenuine when she/he says it. I got a bit wary of saying it too much in college, when I would see these girls tell each other they loved each other allllll the time, and as soon as they got a chance, they'd be at each others' throats. It sort of put a damper on my love parade. What I usually do is tell people how wonderful they are, and tell them specific things I love about them, and how much they mean to me.

I think that I'm lacking in affection. I don't really have any very close friends and I don't think that I've ever told anyone that I loved them, even though I guess I do (I'm sometimes worry that I don't love enough, I'm too self-contained). Not even my parents or sister or boyfriend. On the other hand nobody has told me that they love me, though I suspect that at least my mother does. My family wasn't at all affectionate when I grew up, my parents disliked each other and never talked to each other and so never told that they loved each other. I felt loved but it was shown by being accepted as I was and being encouraged in my hobbies and not with hugs or words. So I guess it just doesn't feel natural to me.
Also, in Finnish "I love you" is a very awkward phrase, it's long and it doesn't fit well in spoken Finnish (which is rather different from the written language) so I think that generally people say it less here, it's not really in the culture.

There are a handful of friends I say this to and mean it. I hate to confess that I have in fact tossed it around a little lightly with some friends. Like a previous poster, I try to be demonstrative and I try to be specific about what I love about them.

I tell my friends and family... If I feel love for you (in whatever way shape or form) I will let you know that you are loved. I just have a lot of love for people though.. it is really hard to explain, but I just do.
I only have one friend that I won't say it to, but it is mainly because I don't want to make him uncomfortable. He knows I care for him, but the word "love" freaks him out. I just gnaw on his arm instead.

When I have IM conversations with my best friend we always sign off with 'love love!', which is sending love to each other.
I end virtually every phone conversation with my friends and family with 'love you!' and 99% of the time I get a 'love you, too!' back.
Within my circle it's less 'I love you!' than 'Love!' as the end of an interaction- at the end of a text conversation we say 'love' instead of 'bye', and even in conversations, when we're saying goodbye it gets replaced with 'love', which I think is a fantastically positive thing to say!
... it might frighten them.

And I'm willing (okay, eager) to try (okay, eat) several cranberry tart contenders before making the final cut.

OK, went to a gun show today with a buddy who never showed. I walked in and saw a table full of handguns. I browsed them and went on to the rest of the show. Had cash in hand to buy something but did not see anything I could not live without. Then as I left, there it was a NIB p228, NS and two 13 rounders. $699.00. I just gave in and bought it. Was it a deal? I am not a SIG man by nature....but I thought I could not go wrong with a 228, for my first. I even bought a Mitch Rosen Express snap on black holster for 45.00. I'll be looking for a IWB ASAP. I will try to get pictures up. I am still trying to figure out my new camera.
Sixto, I expect to hear from you on this as I consider you the resident p228 expert.

Dear Editor:
What a shame Ozone Park has become the forgotten town — even though this will not be printed in your paper. My opinion never is.
Howard Beach people say "Jump," and the big shots ask, "How high?" I've lived in Ozone Park 45 good years. I need to know who's job is it to take care of the few people still here.
1. When is the last time anyone has seen a Sanitation sweeper?
2. Where is our command post?
3. Where are our new trash pails?
4. Where is there room in the neighborhood schools for the kids who live here, were born and raised here?
5. Ozone Park needs bright lights on Liberty Avenue like Jamaica Avenue has.
6. Get that dirty mattress out of that building on Liberty where some poor homeless guy has been sleeping.
7. Why are there two halal carts at Rockaway and Liberty, where everyone is waiting for the buses and there is barely any room as it is?
8. Why is that guy collecting money on Cross Bay outside of Gold's Gym? His vest says "Help the disabled." He then goes across to the bank with all his money.
Can someone look into these complaints? Someone has got to step up and do the right thing for Ozone Park for a change. Thanks.

A totally dinky fruit. But what to do with the top? Not sure if cresting is a good thing at the expense of food. What do you think? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow, that's some funkiness. I can't tell, are you going to be able to separate all of those, or are they kind of too closely developed to come apart with enough body? How does it taste? |
I have seen some very cristate mutants .. commercial grower had overfertilized just a touch to much . Some of the heads were almost 1m with dozens and dozens of tiny tops . Almost impossible to seperate . If you leave the top to dry and grow before seperating many more will survive . I got an Ananas tricolour fruit that gave me over 30 plants .. and one is close to flowering now . |

text: Very local, family run place. Had a great soup, while kids had a good pasta. Family/owners had TV on, kids were running around, you will really get a flavor for the local community. Don't expect romantic atmosphere at all, but for a meal to hit the spot I would recommend.
