Why does it take 10-45 days for my cash back to post?
Our partners all operate on different schedules and send us their tracking information at different intervals. Some send it daily and some send once a month. The time it takes for your cash back to post depends on when the partner you shop with sends us their information and how quickly we can process it.
Why does it take 45-90 days after posting for my cash back to be deposited into my Upromise account?
Upromise credits your account only after we receive payment from our partner company. The time it takes for your payment to be deposited into your Upromise account depends on when our partner company sends us the cash back payment.
How is cash back calculated?

What is an online affiliate?
Certain contributing companies with whom you may shop through our website are online affiliates. When you shop with an online affiliate through our website, the online affiliate pays us a referral fee, of which we give some or all back to you as a cash back. You will be eligible to get cash back from online affiliates as long as you shop with them through a link from the Upromise website, a Upromise email, Upromise TurboSaver®, or Upromise RewardU™. Upromise will fund the cash back to your Upromise account once we are paid the full referral fee by the specific online affiliate with whom you shop. For your convenience, the cash back will show up as pending in your Upromise account until we receive the referral fee. Online affiliates are not generally owned by, or under common ownership with, Upromise.

For a company's specific cash back restrictions, please refer to that company's program details. In addition, cash back is not provided for the following types of purchases:
Does cash back ever expire or get forfeited? What if I don't shop with any Upromise contributing companies for several months?
The money you earn through Upromise will not expire. However, if you or we close your account, or your account is terminated by us in accordance with Member Agreement, and you do not have the minimum withdrawal amount required by Upromise in your account at the time it is closed or terminated, you will forfeit the earnings in your account. In addition, we may terminate your account and forfeit any and all earnings if we believe that you are abusing the service, including engaging in fraudulent activity. In addition, if your Upromise account has not had any activity, as defined by the law of your state of residence, for a certain period of time (generally three to five years), Upromise may be required to remit your earnings to that state as unclaimed or abandoned property.

What does "registered credit card" or "a card you've registered with Upromise" mean?
A "registered credit card" or "a card you've registered with Upromise" both refer to the same thing: any credit or debit (with a Visa/MC logo) card that you already have and that you have registered in your Upromise account. Whenever you make a purchase with one of these cards at an online retailer who requires use of a "registered card," we can track your purchase and automatically apply your cash back to your Upromise account. Click here to see the list of online retailers who require use of a registered card. Click here to register a credit or debit card.
I paid with a debit card that I've registered with Upromise, but my cash back never posted and it's been more than 45 days since the transaction. What happened?
It is important that you remember to always use your debit card as a credit card when making a purchase with an In-Store Retailer. Your card must have the Visa/MasterCard logo on it, and when given the option of entering your pin, or signing for the transaction, you must always sign for the purchase. This enables us to track your purchase as a credit card purchase, and we are then able to give you your cash back.
Do I need to use a registered credit or debit card when I shop with a participating online retailer?
With the majority of our 900+ online retailers, all you need to do is begin your shopping at Upromise.com/shop, click through from a Upromise email, or use Upromise RewardU. You can use any method of payment (some restrictions may apply) and we will automatically track your purchases. However, some retailers may ask you to complete your online purchase with a credit or debit card that is registered in your Upromise account. To learn more about who these retailers are and how to shop with them, please visit the In-Store Retailers page.
Can I shop directly at a retailer's website using my registered credit or debit card and still earn cash back?
In most cases no. For example, Target.com is one of our online-only partners. If you go directly to Target.com and complete your purchase with a registered card, you will not get your cash back. To get your cash back, you MUST start at Upromise.com and click through to the Target.com site, click through a Upromise email or download the Upromise TurboSaver or RewardU.
In general, to ensure that you get your cash back, we recommend that you always start your online shopping at Upromise.com or download RewardU. With most of our online retailers, we do not track your purchases through your registered credit or debit cards but through your log-in.
However, there are a few online retailers who allow you to shop directly on their site without having to start at Upromise.com. To learn more about these retailers, please visit our In-Store Retailers page.
Can I get cash back when I shop with an In-Store Retailer and pay with a virtual credit card?
Now offered by several credit card issuers, virtual credit cards are single-use cards which help protect against fraud because they carry a unique code that expires within a short period of time.
You can use a virtual credit card to pay for your purchase and get your cash back when shopping with the majority of our online retailers. However, you will not get your cash back if you use a virtual credit card with an In-Store Retailer who requires you to use a credit or debit card that you've registered with Upromise. This is because we cannot match the virtual credit card with your registered card to give you your cash back.
To find which online retailers do NOT accept virtual credit cards as a valid method of payment, please check the terms and conditions for companies that do not accept randomly generated, one-time-use account numbers.

What if my registered credit card expires during my membership with Upromise?

Keeping the culture and making sure the experience is authentic. That's what the Daniele family strives to do at Mario's Italian restaurant in Brighton. Just last month, that meant taking two dozen employees to Italy.
The trip gave employees a chance to taste, smell and sees the foods that are the foundation of the restaurant. Owner Anthony Daniele says it really makes a difference. "Obviously, when our customers come in and they're sitting at the table and the server tells them they just got back from Italy and this is a dish they learned how to make and they taste it, it changes the whole experience. I mean it really turns out to be a priceless asset for our restaurants."
This is the third time in 15 years the Daniele's have done a trip like this. Employees are chosen to go based on how long they've worked at the restaurant, their desire to learn more about the food and recommendations from supervisors.

During the Black Ops II campaign you are able to make specific actions that will have a reaction later on in the game. The choices that you can make are not always explicitly mentioned and it can be quite interesting to see how your actions affect the game later on, in even the smallest of ways. Below we have put together a list of all the things that --we know of—can change the way the story is told and will affect the outcome of the game, and how the game is played out. Needless to say, there will be spoilers galore here, so if you don't want anything ruined for you, we would highly suggest looking away.

Sporting a relatively small 3.1in touchscreen and overall specs that hardly set the pulse racing, the Palm Pre 2 probably doesn't immediately appeal to those looking for the latest and greatest smartphone. However, with some nice hardware touches and possibly the best mobile phone operating system available, WebOS 2.0, this is still one handset that's well worth considering.

We all plan our lives around many things, which includes our relatives, friends and interest; therefore all of our lives we are planning for a bright future. You are doing things today, whether good or bad because of your planning yesterday.
We are a direct result of our planning. Amen.
Today we will examine a story told by Jesus and ask the question 'WHERE DO YOU PLAN TO SPEND ETERNAITY? HEAVEN OR HELL".
Listen, I know there are still debates on whether heaven and hell are really places that exist. No matter what the bible says on this subject there still is objections and no matter how many books are written or sermons preached by spirit filled men and women there is still skepticisms and unbelief on this subject of heaven and hell.
Recently, I talked to a young men question the likelihood of heaven or hell. He said, "You can show me a brick and tell me it can build the Sistine Chapel and I will believe it, because I can see it, because that is proof enough for me; but there is no logical proof of a heaven or hell. Where did it come from and how does it exist? Needless, to say my discussion with this young man is not over yet. I will keep working with his belief system and hopefully be able to help him see the chief corner stone, Jesus, that was laded to built the hope of we have in heaven.
You might have heard the oldest debate; well if God is love why does He send people to Hell? I always respond to people asking this question by saying God allows you to go wherever you want. He does not send you; you send yourself.
My brother and sisters Hell is a real place. Hell would freeze over if God lied to us about an eternal hell, which is a place prepared for the falling angels and the unjust and unrighteous stewards of this life. They will have their part in the lake of fire and brimstone.
Listen my friends, Hell is Hot. As Sister Wanda would say, "What in hell do you want in hell?"
There is no heat wave across the country or in the world that is as hot as hell.
Let me take you back to school a minute and ask a chemist, how hot is hell?
The thermodynamics professor may say, Hell is either so hot it is "exothermic (gives off heat) like a street or endothermic (absorbs heat) like a microwave, a lethal injection or radiation exposure it one or the other.
But I stopped by to tell you that it is neither. Hell is eternally hot, which is a hot not yet known to mankind. Heaven is eternally pleasant and beautiful and Hell is eternally unpleasant and ugly. Gnashing of the teeth hot.
Our lesson today centers on heaven and hell. We must wisely examine its truths and chose to plan our lives accordingly.
Luke 16 Mr. Dives and Mr. Lazarus
19. There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
Purple: symbolic to royalty or high office. Bishop or Cardinal; you or me.
20. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21. And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
Jesus makes a contrast between need and greed; plenty and not having any.
Jesus also makes a contrast of what seems to be heaven and hell on earth
Lazarus dignity is gone and he is in desperation.
Now one story ends and another begins. Come let us descend into Hades and view the outcome of Mr. Dives the rich man and Lazarus the poor man.
22. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom (one life done and a new begun): the rich man also died, and was buried; (one and done)
One of the most important lessons to be learned today is: There is no rewind switch on this life we live or a restart we can simply push to start it all over again. There is no reset to stop it and start it at a designated point again, but thank God there is a pause button so you can stop in the name of love before we break God's heart. And as you replay and review your life now what do you see?
Have you planned for to spend eternity in heaven or hell? Have you been a good steward of your life?
Are you living hellistic or living holistic?
23. And in hell he (the bible does not call him rich any more) lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Rev. 21
4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (No more begging and self debasing) 5. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
24. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. (He thought the same rules applied as in life) 25. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. The roles are changed for Mr. Dives, because now he is the beggar while Mr. Lazarus is living in God not in Greed like Mr. Dives did in life. 26. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. A eternal law is revealed.
27. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28. For I have five brethren (like me); that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
I got a baby brother called fearful, and one named unbelieving, and there is abominable, and twins called murderer, and whoremonger, and two step brothers named sorcerer, and idolater, and my oldest brother called liar.
29. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30. And he said, Nay, (they aint hearing that stuff like so many today) father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses (the law giver) and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
But here is the good news I bring to you today that so was so moved
John 3:
16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
If you have not made a decision to live for heaven do it today. Don't delay answering the question; don't put it off any longer. For we know not the day or hour that the Son of Man will return. I want you to be ready-ready-ready at His appearing that you might be caught up with Him.
There is no need to spend eternity in torment when it can be spend in glory with God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Today I have set before you a no brainer:

Two months ago, we bought you the news that Disney had released the title for one of their newest releases, along with some concept artwork (and very little else).
The rumour mill started though, with names thrown around of who would be playing who and what the film would actually be about, but now, thanks to IGN and First Showing we have a little bit more information to share.
Firstly, Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel have been confirmed for the two leading female roles.
Secondly, more of the plot, along with the film's inspiration, have been released. This means we get more of an idea of what the film will entail and how close an adaptation it will be to the Hans Christian Andersen original.
Thirdly, the film is apparently going to be returning to Disney hand-drawn animation, rather than computer graphics. This was also said of past release Tangled, and then eventually turned into a CG film so we're not holding our breaths on this one.
As I said, it's only a snippet of new information, Disney are keeping everything secret with this release but I'm hoping something more in-depth will appear soon enough. For now though, happy reading!

Bordeaux: Romance
Destination guide
Bordeaux is a city full of elegance and romance. The beauty of buildings and monuments, the peacefulness of the riverside walks, the excellence of the cuisine and wines of world renown guarantee an exciting passage through the city where there's no lack of places to party the night away. Bordeaux is a city to be lived intensely.
Charm is part of the city. Bordeaux breathes elegance and is assumed as a city in which life should be lived intensely and at its fullest. Thanks to the way its historic area is well-preserved it is not difficult to feel as a king or queen, prince or princess in one of the many boutique hotels, real luxury palaces filled with elegance and comfort, as the Regent Grand Hotel Bordeaux, in the city, or the surrounding areas, as Médoc, where the castles of Margaux, Latour and Mouton Tothschild stand out. For a dream come true night of sleep, choose the Chateau Giscours. Visit the vineyards and make a toast to passion in the various wineries. If you choose to stay in the city, there are thousands of ways to feed the flame of passion: a simple walk along the waterfront, a romantic dinner cruise on the Garonne, a stop at the market Chartrons to taste the excellent oysters. Spa treatments for two, with wine therapy can also be a nice surprise for your loved one. There are several restaurants, intimate, where you can enjoy the meal of your dreams, where wine is an obligatory presence alongside the caviar d'Aquitaine. To end the evening you can head off to the triangle formed by squares du Parlement Saint Pierre and Camille Jullian. To dance until dawn, the best options are is the rue des rue des Piliers de Tutele.

Tranquility adds a night mode to your Mac
Instead of staring at an extra-bright screen in a dark room, install this free app on your Mac and save your eyes with night-mode.
When working in a dark room, turning the brightness down on a display, even to the lowest setting, can still be irritating to your eyes. Even if your eyes can handle it, the light from your screen can be annoying to those around you.
A free app called Tranquility, originally covered by TUAW but brought to my attention by Lifehacker adds a night mode to your Mac.
By installing the app from Pixio, you're able to switch to night viewing by clicking on the icon in your Mac's menu bar.
Users are able to customize the overall look and feel of the night mode, including switching between a monochrome or tinted-colors look. In addition to adjusting the color scheme, you're also able to have the app hide your desktop wallpaper, and disable any shadows found throughout OS X.
You can download Tranquility from Pixio by visiting the company's Web site.

A gang of six teens decided to take Grand Theft Auto IV from the television screens to the streets of Long Island, with a two-hour crime spree meant to copy the game's violent hero, cops said.
The game-crazed youth's real-life robbery romp featured such staples of the mega-popular game as a mugging, several break-ins and an attempted car-jacking at an intersection in tony Garden City, police said. "They decided they were going to go out to commit robberies and emulate the [lead] character Nico Belic in the particularly violent video game Grand Theft Auto,' said Nassau County Police Detective Lt. Raymond Cote. "These teens have difficulty separating fact from fiction, fantasy from reality . . . It was quite alarming.'
According to cops, the boys first mugged a man at a bus stop near the park, beat him and knocked out some teeth. They then broke into some sheds and garages, stole some bats and crowbars and met up with a few more teens to continue the spree.
The six then attempted to stage some carjackings in Garden City. But it was game over when one of their would-be victims - a 23-year-old woman in a 2008 BMW - called the cops, who quickly arrested them.
But how did the cops know this rampage was GTA inspired?
Police would not say specifically how they knew that the teens crimes were motivated by Grand Theft Auto, and not by some other motive. They said they discovered it during their investigation.
Maybe the Dolan-owned Newsday can shed some light on this issue:
The teens told detectives they were imitating the Grand Theft Auto video game series where players steal cars, beat up other characters and score points for committing crimes, authorities said.
Yep, Joe Lieberman is gonna looove this.

USgov't could help its own people, choses not to; good article -
Thanks. adding: I am listening to the House Committee on Foreign Relations, on WBAI (Pacifica Radio, which had a coup, see www.takebackwbai.org), a Pacifica station carrying the hearings with Sec'y State H. Clinton and two others. The only good thing was that Norman Solomon was there, but I couldn't listen to the "war porn", the verbal nonsense in support of war...until Barbara Lee and Lynne Woolsey (both on the committee get to ask questions later -later: Sec'y State H. Clinton, War sec'y Gates and one other, ? had to leave at 4:15pm, and due to seniority, B. Lee and L. Woolsey never got to ask questions.). In a pre-committee hearing interview with Mitch Jezeritch, Lynne Woolsey said she had questions about H.Clinton having said something about "embedding the civilian aid workers with the military". A pre-hearing interview with Media Benjamin (Code Pink) pointed out how dangerous this is for AID workers in Afghanistan and that there are many local relief workers in Afghanistan who could be given the money directly to do the work of rebuilding their country. What a mess. Out now!

As I mentioned in a article on Ubuntu Boot CD images, there's a new boot CD image every day because the new version is being tested out. When the new version is finally released, work starts on version next, and daily builds start to come out again.
The problem is downloading a new 700MB file daily seems wasteful, and that's 21GB of download per month, which your ISP may or may not like.
The solution is zsync, a binary file sychronization program.
Introduction to zsync
zsync uses the same algorithm as another file-syncing program, rsync. But zsync is better than rsync for file distribution where one file is going to multiple clients outside of a single organization. Also:
- zsync doesn't require a program to run on the server. It runs on the client.
- zsync handles compressed files well.
You might wonder how zsync could possibly work with binary files, since a single small change can render the whole file totally different, and thus not practicably syncable. The answer is the zsync has special handling for gzipped files (files compressed with the gzip program).
Installing zsync
First, if you haven't already, add the universe repository to your list of software repositories. You can do this in System > Administration > Software Sources.
Then install zysync either by clicking here from Firefox or entering the following from the terminal:
sudo apt-get install zysnc
Using zsync
It only makes sense to use zysnc if you already have a full ISO image file that you want to update. So, first download an Ubuntu ISO image file.
Then, when there's an update you want to get, go to the directory where the full image file is in a terminal. Then type zsync followed by the HTTP address of where the .zsync file is. (The .zsync file helps zsynch to correctly identify and apply updates.)
For the most often used Ubuntu CD image (the 32-bit desktop image), that would be:
zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/lucid-desktop-i386.iso.zsync
You can find other .zsync files in the same place where the CD images are at Ubuntu downloads.
Note: At the end of this procedure, the updated file will have the same name as the old file. The old file is kept and saved with a ".zs-old" filename suffix.
zsync at work
zysnc first downloads the .zsync file.
Then it starts downloading the actual image file:
downloading from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/lucid-desktop-i386.iso: ###################- 96.3% 43.8 kBps
The image file is saved with a .part suffix during the download. If the download is interrupted, just run zsync again. It'll pick up where it left off:
Read lucid-desktop-i386.iso.part. Target 92.4% complete. downloading from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/lucid-desktop-i386.iso: ##################-- 94.8% 43.8 kBps A
Once it's done, it verifies the file:
verifying download...checksum matches OK used 663175168 local, fetched 55365870
Saving the .zsync file
The .zsync file is about 1.4MB. You can avoid downloading it again by using the -k option followed by the .zsync file.
If the local file has a different than that referenced in the .zsync file, specify the local filename with the -i option.

Science - Program Coordinator (Health Sciences)
Wilfrid Laurier University
Date posted:
Wilfrid Laurier University - The Faculty of Science seeks a Program Coordinator to lead its growing interdisciplinary Health Sciences program beginning July 1, 2013, subject to budgetary approval. Reporting to the Dean of Science, the opportunity for the new Program Coordinator will be to nurture further growth of the Health Sciences program, to oversee its planned transformation into a new Department of Health Sciences, and then to assume the role of Department Chair.
Since its launch in 2009, the Honours B.Sc. in Health Sciences has exceeded expectations with approximately 300 full-time undergraduates presently registered over the four years of the program. Its mission is "to prepare students to identify and address complex health challenges through innovative research and the discovery and dissemination of knowledge to improve the health and well-being of people". To achieve these learning outcomes, students receive rigorous instruction in both the fundamental sciences (e.g. chemistry, biology, mathematics) as well as in more applied, health related disciplines (e.g. psychology, social sciences, health policy, epidemiology). With critical thinking and the use of various experimental and observational scientific methodologies, we are training our students to take a multi-faceted approach to solving future challenges in the health care field. The new Coordinator/Chair should therefore have experience in and enthusiasm for promoting and using interdisciplinary approaches in both teaching and research. The program currently has cross-appointed faculty based in the Departments of Kinesiology & Physical Education, Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology, along with a recently appointed senior Research Chair in the field of Global Health in its School of International Policy and Governance. A search is also underway for a Tier II Canada Research Chair in Epidemiology and Global Public Health which will be based primarily within the Health Sciences program.
In addition to providing academic and administrative leadership, the Coordinator/Chair of Health Sciences will promote the program to current and prospective students, as well as to the Faculty of Science, the University, and the community at large. He/she will also mentor present and future faculty recruited into the program. Prospective applicants should have a Ph.D. in the Health Sciences, Life Sciences, or a related discipline, a record of outstanding scholarly research and teaching, strong leadership skills, and a demonstrated capacity and aptitude for administration within a university setting. Experience as chair of a Health, Biomedical or Life Sciences department will be considered an asset.
Applicants should send a cover letter outlining their leadership and administrative experience, a summary of their current research interests, curriculum vitae, contact details (address, telephone, and email) for at three academic referees, and a brief teaching dossier including a statement of teaching philosophy (max. two pages) and evidence of teaching effectiveness. Electronic copies of no more than three published reprints or works in progress may also be sent. Materials should be sent to Dr. Paul Jessop, Dean, Faculty of Science, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3C5 (email: firstname.lastname@example.com). Applications will be accepted until March 1, 2013.
Wilfrid Laurier University is committed to employment equity and values diversity. We welcome applications from qualified women and men, including persons of all genders and sexual orientations, persons with disabilities, Aboriginal persons, and persons of a visible minority. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

text: I gave my son in law one of my Black rifles this past weekend and he being a newbie got excited and turned it loose on my 3/8 thick steel plates that I shoot with my pistols. It almost went thru leaving only about 1/16 of metal behind that made a bulge out the back side. The hole (not clean thru) is probably 3/8 in diameter. I will get some pics and post them. The rounds are Remington full metal jackets bought from Walmart.

Telstra distances itself from Kogan mobile play
PUBLISHED: 12 Dec 2012 19:00:00 | UPDATED: 13 Dec 2012 08:22:00PUBLISHED: 12 Dec 2012 PRINT EDITION: 13 Dec 2012Online entrepreneur Ruslan Kogan has had regular stoushes with the likes of Gerry Harvey and JB Hi-Fi chief Terry Smart over his electronics store. Photo: Luis Enrique Ascui

Telstra has distanced itself from a new play by online entrepreneur Ruslan Kogan to court mobile subscribers, claiming that it has no direct relationship with his company.
Mr Kogan, who runs the successful online-only store Kogan.com, this week unveiled plans to become a virtual mobile carrier, bundling the thousands of 3G-capable tablets and phones that the site sells daily with SIM cards for low-cost prepaid mobile plans.
The business model mimics the Kogan online store, by going direct to customers online. Mr Kogan has had regular stoushes with the likes of Gerry Harvey and JB Hi-Fi chief Terry Smart over the electronics store.
Mr Kogan claimed customers who subscribe to the Kogan Mobile service would use a part of the Telstra network, which already resells a limited 3G mobile service to about 10 resellers.
Optus and Vodafone similarly resell their respective 3G – and Optus 4G – services to other providers such as Virgin Mobile, Red Bull and Amaysim.
But Telstra has claimed that it has no relationship with the Kogan brand.
"Telstra Wholesale is not in partnership or any other direct relationship with Kogan," a Telstra spokesman said.
Mr Kogan had no comment when asked about Telstra's statement. However, he said his plans – which start at $9.99 for a data pack or $29 for a prepaid calls and data pack – operated on a "mass volume, tiny margin" basis.
"It was a logical progression for us," he said, referring to the success of the online store, which makes more than $1 million in daily sales and has grown seven times over the past 12 months.
"We don't have to pay commissions to all of the retail outlets selling their product and recharge cards. We're already selling thousands of devices per day; they're very easy customers to convert."
Mr Kogan said discussions with Telstra had been ongoing for several months, despite the carrier's denial.

Thinking Beyond Borders' USA Staff
Thinking Beyond Borders is fortunate to have a talented and committed USA staff to offer support to students, family, and the Program Leaders. Their tireless work helps to ensure the program safety, quality, and success for TBB's gap year students.
Robin Pendoley – Founder & CEO
All roads in Robin's life lead to co-founding Thinking Beyond Borders. Born and raised near San Francisco, he discovered at an early age that youth can affect the disparities and challenges of our world. Robin also learned the need to truly understand a problem and oneself before proactive changes can be made. He sees Thinking Beyond Borders as the actualization of those lessons.
Robin equipped himself by earning a B.A. in International Development Studies from UCLA and a Masters in Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He has lived and worked abroad extensively, both as a student and educator. Robin committed eight years to public schools in Los Angeles and Boston. He served as a teacher, administrator, coach, and college access program administrator.
Robin's blog posts on education and social change have been featured on Forbes, Ashoka, and Innovation Excellence. He also served for three years as the Co-Director of the Colloquium for the Common Good at Opportunity Collaboration, a global poverty conference for sector leaders. Today, he helps shape the US gap year market as both the Co-Director of the USA Gap Year Fairs and as a Board Member for the American Gap Association.
Stephen Barnes – Program Director
Working for TBB is the perfect combination is Stephen's academic, professional and personal interests. Having graduated from the University of Warwick in 2005 with a degree in Politics and International Studies, he spent 6 months volunteering in rural Nicaragua. There he discovered his passion for learning about other cultures and whet his appetite for discovering more about international development. Leaving Nicaragua almost fluent in la lengua española, he returned to London where he graduated from the School of Oriental and African Studies with a Masters degree in Development Studies in 2007.
Stephen worked for Fundación Yanapuma – one of TBB's partner organizations in Ecuador – first as a leader of volunteer groups in remote communities across the country, and then overseeing the foundation's volunteer and internship programs out of their Quito office. His time in Ecuador grounded him with a wealth of experience in designing programs to best utilize the skills of student volunteer groups and building partnerships with local communities. Having seen many aspects of community development in Ecuador – from placing trainee midwives in hospitals on the coast to helping build chicken coops in the Amazon – Stephen set off as a Program Leader for TBB's 2009-10 Global Gap Year Program, both teaching and learning about international development in equal measure. After a brief stint back in the UK working for the international arm of one of the UK's most prominent climate change campaigns, Stephen returned to TBB in spring 2011 to work as Director of Programming, overseeing the development and implementation of TBB's gap year and semester programs.
Scott Ingram – Recruitment Director
Traveling around Southeast Asia during and after university, Scott saw a world vastly different from the Colorado town he called home. He followed his interest in cross-cultural experiences to a semester at the University of Vietnam-Hanoi, and a BA in Japanese and Asian Studies in 2004 from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He immediately jumped headlong into a teaching position with the JET Program where he taught at a high school in Nagasaki, Japan for three years where he discovered a passion for teaching.
In 2008, Scott pursued his interest in international development by entering Tokyo's Waseda University Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies. There he had the opportunity to study with a broad multi-cultural student body and obtain his MA in International Relations with a focus on Development Anthropology. His thesis examined how international NGOs can better apply local cultural values and norms in the Philippines to improve the outcomes of environmental conservation projects for all parties. Working with Thinking Beyond Borders, Scott combines his interests in teaching, travel, and development to aid students in becoming agents of positive change. He served for two years as a Program Leader for the Global Gap Year program before joining the US staff as the Recruitment Director.
Amanda Payne – Program Manager
Amanda grew up in suburban Connecticut and it wasn't until, as a Peace Corps volunteer teaching and living in a small rural farming community in Moldova, that she came to truly understand and appreciate the diverse world in which we live. This humbling and life changing experience inspired her to become an educator and a farmer.
Amanda received her MA in Teaching from the School for International Training and has taught English-language learners from almost every continent throughout public schools in New England. Although deeply rooted in central Vermont, Amanda's travels have taken her throughout Eastern and Central Europe and Central America. Along with teaching, a deep interest in living sustainably led her to learn about organic vegetable farming. She started a farm program and CSA for the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps where she taught youth about many aspects of sustainable agriculture, from the technical side of growing food to ideas about creating more healthy food systems.
The most meaningful learning comes through experience and relationships, and Amanda is thrilled to share her expertise with the TBB community. Amanda spent two years as a Program Leader for the Global Gap Year program before joining the US staff as Program Manager.
Gary Robinson – Psychological Consultant
Gary has dedicated himself for over 25 years to helping college-aged students to maximize their potential and overcome barriers to learning. His clinical specialties have included stress management, mood and anxiety disorders and life coaching/mentoring.
He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor's degree in Social Work. After completing his graduate work in Counseling Psychology at the State University of New York at Albany, Gary felt a need to "internationalize" his experience and was hired to work for the Semester at Sea program, mentoring students as they visited eleven countries on this around-the-world shipboard voyage of discovery. For Gary, Semester at Sea cemented his interest in intercultural learning and he found applications for this interest in his subsequent positions including a stint as a Foreign Student Advisor in Keystone College in Pennsylvania.
Gary has served in a variety of professional counseling roles in several university and college settings and currently holds the post of Director of Counseling at Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York, a position he has enjoyed for the last sixteen years. At Hartwick, he assists students during study abroad experiences to negotiate the numerous challenges they face as they confront cultural environments different than their own. He is licensed as a mental health counselor in two states and is board certified nationally.
Gary finds his consulting work with TBB to be a perfect environment to ply his skills by training, advising, and supporting TBB's Program Leaders in their work with students. As an advocate for cultural immersion and a true believer in the life-changing impact overseas travel and education can have on a young person, Gary has found no better program than TBB for gap year students.
Anwuli Ojogwu – Digital Communications Coordinator
Anwuli graduated with a Bachelor's degree in English and Literature from the University of Benin in Nigeria. She loves storytelling and social work, leading to a career in media and development. Her work experience includes serving as a communication manager at an education nonprofit focused on entrepreneurship, FATE Foundation, managing communication strategy and working with aspiring entrepreneurs. She also served as Senior Consultant, Development Communications & Projects at ThistlePraxis Consulting, where she co-designed and implemented sustainability campaigns; and Ag Executive Director, CDNet (Career Development Network), an education nonprofit focused on career development, where she managed the organization. Anwuli also worked with a team on the successful bid that established Port Harcourt city in Nigeria as the World Book Capital City 2014 by UNESCO. She is currently a fellow of Atlas Service Corps in DC, serving in Thinking Beyond Borders as Digital Communications Coordinator. She is also a fellow of a sustainability program LEAD, and a member of the Global Shapers Community, WEF.
Devon Davey – Development Coordinator
Devon's passion for youth empowerment, community engagement, and international development started with her travels around the world at a young age, and developed at the University of San Francisco, where she focused on human rights and education. With a background in program development and growing fundraising operations for nonprofits and foundations, Devon has worked for organizations including Not for Sale, Polaris Project, Global Exchange, Glide, Foundation for Sustainable Development, Taproot Foundation, and the International Development Exchange (IDEX).
Devon holds an MA in Sustainable International Development from Brandeis University, completing her fieldwork in Mexico at a child rights organization. Originally from the Bay Area, Devon loves connecting people, doing skills-based volunteering, and exploring San Francisco.

The Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam
Adopted and Issued at the Nineteenth Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers in Cairo on 5 August 1990.
The Member States of the Organization of the Islamic Conference,
Reaffirming the civilizing and historical role of the Islamic Ummah which God made the best nation that has given mankind a universal and well-balanced civilization in which harmony is established between this life and the hereafter and knowledge is combined with faith; and the role that this Ummah should play to guide a humanity confused by competing trends and ideologies and to provide solutions to the chronic problems of this materialistic civilization.
Wishing to contribute to the efforts of mankind to assert human rights, to protect man from exploitation and persecution, and to affirm his freedom and right to a dignified life in accordance with the Islamic Shari'ah
Convinced that mankind which has reached an advanced stage in materialistic science is still, and shall remain, in dire need of faith to support its civilization and of a self-motivating force to guard its rights;
Believing that fundamental rights and universal freedoms in Islam are an integral part of the Islamic religion and that no one as a matter of principle has the right to suspend them in whole or in part or violate or ignore them in as much as they are binding divine commandments, which are contained in the Revealed Books of God and were sent through the last of His Prophets to complete the preceding divine messages thereby making their observance an act of worship and their neglect or violation an abominable sin, and accordingly every person is individually responsible — and the Ummah collectively responsible — for their safeguard.
Proceeding from the above-mentioned principles,
Declare the following:
Article 1
Article 2
Article 3
Article 4
Every human being is entitled to inviolability and the protection of his good name and honour during his life and after his death. The state and society shall protect his remains and burial place.

Every man shall have the right, within the framework of Shari'ah, to free movement and to select his place of residence whether inside or outside his country and, if persecuted, is entitled to seek asylum in another country. The country of refuge shall ensure his protection until he reaches safety, unless asylum is motivated by an act which Shari'ah regards as a crime.
Article 13
Work is a right guaranteed by the State and Society for each person able to work. Everyone shall be free to choose the work that suits him best and which serves his interests and those of society. The employee shall have the right to safety and security as well as to all other social guarantees. He may neither be assigned work beyond his capacity nor be subjected to compulsion or exploited or harmed in any way. He shall be entitled — without any discrimination between males and females — to fair wages for his work without delay, as well as to the holidays, allowances and promotions which he deserves. For his part, he shall be required to be dedicated and meticulous in his work. Should workers and employers disagree on any matter, the State shall intervene to settle the dispute and have the grievances redressed, the rights confirmed and justice enforced without bias.
Article 14
Everyone shall have the right to legitimate gains without monopolization, deceit or harm to oneself or to others. Usury (riba) is absolutely prohibited.
Article 15
Article 16
Everyone shall have the right to enjoy the fruits of his scientific, literary, artistic or technical production and the right to protect the moral and material interests stemming therefrom, provided that such production is not contrary to the principles of Shari'ah.

Fargo is off to a SWEET 5-1 start in March although he is coming off a tough OT loss with Texas Monday but he is back Tuesday with TWO Top Rated Plays! His NBA run is now an AWESOME 21-9 and on the season, he has shown a POTENT +$15,350 NBA profit! TWO Winners tonight! On the Ice, he is on a SOLID 7-3 NHL run and has a Breakaway Winner Tuesday!
With its come-from-behind win over Xavier on Saturday, Villanova locked up its second straight Big East title, the first time that has happened in school history. It will be hard for the Wildcats to come out strong tonight and while they will still be out to win in search of a possible No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, covering a big number on the road will be difficult. The line is inflated for and a big reason for that is due to the fact Villanova has won and covered 10 straight games which happened to start off at home against Creighton. The Bluejays were expected to be in rebuilding mode following the loss of so much talent from last season and that has come to fruition. They are three games under .500 for the season no thanks to a 4-12 record in the conference. To their credit, the Bluejays have been playing better as they are 4-4 over their last eight games following a 0-8 start in the Big East. Closing the season against Villanova and Xavier is no easy task but at least both games are at home. The Wildcats won the first meeting this season as a 15-point favorite so the venue switch is not giving us a proper line adjustment which gives value to Creighton. Play (550) Creighton Bluejays

Iron Wok Jan! Book 16
Posted in Manga Reviews on March 25, 2006 by Johannaby Shinji Saijyo
published by DrMaster Publications; $9.95 US
As book 16 begins, the four young chefs — arrogant Jan, frustrated Kiriko, country Celine, and goofball Takao — are competing against hundreds of others in an annual competition. If Jan doesn't win the entire thing (Kiriko was the champion last year), he's going to lose his job at the restaurant. First, though, they have to get through the preliminary elimination round, cooking fried rice.
Celine finishes early, but Takao is in over his head, so he copies anyone he winds up next to. Kiriko demonstrates her skill and knowledge of technique, and Jan manages to once again annoy everyone. He smashed open the gas pipe that fed the stoves so he could create a pillar of fire to get the extreme heat he wanted for his dish. That meant that some competitors couldn't cook, and the fire set off the sprinkler system, washing out a whole bunch of others.
Makes for some arresting images, though, of a demonically grinning Jan moving at top speed over open flame. He's only interested in what he must do to win, regardless of what happens to those around him.
The special judges for the competition are three freaks: a woman obsessed with smells, a giant of a man fascinated by nutrition and vitamins, and a transvestite who's only interested in what the food looks like. As the contest proper starts, the chefs are given tofu to cook, a difficult ingredient due to its versatility. Jan is chosen for judging first, and it's not going well, until he pulls out a surprise.
The competitive drama is as fun to read as ever, complete with ever-more-exaggerated art style, but unfortunately, the last few volumes of this series have had problems with their coating. The clear plastic on the covers tends to wrinkle and bubble in spots. I have previously reviewed Book 13.

BREAKING NEWS: Casco Bay Bridge Activity
A slew of siren-laden vehicles rushed past our apartment this evening, just after 8:00pm. When they didn't let up, and fire trucks joined the police cars in the parade, we thought we'd see what was up.
We encountered the logjam of emergency vehicles at the intersection of Danforth and State Streets here in Portland, where they had the street blocked off down to where State and York Streets join at the base of the hill. Some of the fire trucks were departing, but several police and EMT vehicles remained on the lower part of the street. A few Portland Police Department cars suddenly appeared, heading across the Casco Bay Bridge, and we drove across in their wake.
Just past the control booth at the halfway point on the bridge, we saw a woman in a hot pink jogging suit jacket on the opposite side of the walkway than one expects to see people. She was hanging onto the wall with one arm as we drove past, and officers were approaching her on foot from their cars. (Let us also mention the High Weirdness of seeing a dark SUV pulled over on the southbound side of the bridge with the vanity plate "FNORD"!) On reaching the South Portland side of the bridge, we drove out through the marina to see if we could spot what was going on out over the water.
We were just in time to catch these shots, as officers, after joining her on the water side of the walkway wall, apparently convinced her to return to the land of the living. In this sequence of shots, you can identify the unknown person by her bright pink jacket, as she climbs back over the wall. Please click on the photo for a larger image.Since none of the news channels is on top of this story, we have no idea what happened. Conjecture is almost useless, but we wonder if someone who was involved with whatever happened on State Street ran from the scene in an effort to either escape, do away with themselves, or distract attention from the original scene. The coincidence of these two incidents occurring within clear walking distance from each other and almost simultaneously implies a connection. But what do we know? Just what we glimpse.
