Date of Stay: August, 2013 - $28.00
An older park with what appeared to be full time residents. The manager is a nice guy and shows you to your site. Residents seem to be friendly and quiet. Lots of pets in the park , but were leashed or kept inside. New High Efficiency laundry facilities which you could pay by debit/credit or coin, clean restrooms/showers. Gravel spaces, no green grass, but there was some grass between sites. Stayed for 2 nights. We chose this park as it was only 1.5 miles from the Wildlife Safari park. We would stay again if just passing through. WiFi wouldn't connect. We camped at Umpqua Safari RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: May, 2013 - $28.00
We only stayed one night but it was a pleasant and quiet stay. It was convenient location to the Safari which was the reason for our short trip. The park seemed to be mostly full time residents so it was very quiet and clean. The host was very friendly. We camped at Umpqua Safari RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: June, 2010 - $25.00
We just needed one night to stay somewhere so we could go to the Wildlife Safari the next day. This park was very closely located to the Safari. It feels more like a trailer park. I think most people live there. But it was convenient. Nowhere to play or wander around. Nice park host. We camped at Umpqua Safari RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: June, 2009 - $28.00
We stayed here as it is the closest to the Wild Life Safari (1 1/2 miles). Good for an over-nighter. Older campground, but with modern amenities. 27 sites are permanents, with 10 sites for travelers. Gravel pull-throughs, level, with shade from well developed trees. Free Wi-Fi worked fine, lots of cable channels. Three clean restrooms, were individual locking rooms with toilet, shower, sink and chair. Poor signage makes it hard to see from highway, go 1/2 mile past the green bridge, left side turn lane. We camped at Umpqua Safari RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2007 - $28.00
Umpqua RV Park. No wi-fi. No campfires. No playground. No pool. But the guy who runs the place is very very nice and the park is very clean and maintained. I would camp here again only if I was passing through. If you are wanting to be in the area and not hang around the campground then this is a great place. If you have a pile of kids then I would not recommend unless you are passing through. Great place if you need peace an quiet. We camped at Umpqua Safari RV Park in a Travel Trailer.Undo

Beauty brand Philosophy creates holiday campaign around a "believe in magic" message.
Responsys created a holiday campaign for beauty line Philosophy centered on the message "believe in magic." Components include e-mail, landing pages, a holiday shopping list, and a sweepstakes.
The multi-component campaign includes a micro-site with six mini-stores containing different products from the Philosophy line. The holiday stores include "sweet shop," "homemade treats," "a few good men," "indulgent fun," "fragrance shop," and "holiday favorites." The overall messaging carries out the holiday theme of "believe in magic, believe in miracles."
A recent e-mail promoting Philosophy's Holiday Blues bath and shower gel highlights the company's altruistic doctrine, stating 100 percent of the gross profits will go to the Ricky Martin Foundation. Another e-mail hyped a holiday sweepstake with the "believe in magic" message, where 1,000 respondents were entered to win a jar of Cinnamon Buns Body Soufflés. Responsys also created a Holiday Shopping List. All e-mails point to Philosophy's holiday boutique, rather than the main page.
"We wanted to provide a holiday micro-site that just showcased our holiday offerings," said Stayer. "The idea was to take an integrated approach, incorporate e-mail, a landing page, banner ads, all with a similar look and feel. Responsys really did a fabulous job of mirroring the brand image throughout the holiday store."
Philosophy created its own banner ad units using elements similar to the Responsys-created campaign. Banners ran on Oprah.com and WebMD.com.

i have a 5 gallon batch of apfelwein going on 3 months. I have tried it and it has hardly any flavor or body to it. It smells good but the taste is blah. I was wondering if there is anything i can add to it or should i just let it bulk age? Thanks for the help.
I'm with you here. Mine had been in the primary for 3 months, so I figured it was time. Tasted it, and all I can describe it as is a very watery white wine flavor. Has no body either. Drank a couple glasses and it's got a kick, but just boring in taste. Bottled it in hopes that it'll taste better down the road.
It tastes better sweetened, brings back some of the natural flavors. I've got a bunch that I didn't do anything with besides bottle and as a wine it was pretty unimpressive. I started putting it over ice in a regular glass with a teaspoon or two of sugar and my didn't those bottles go fast :laugh:
I've got a 5g batch that I let sit in the carboy for a couple months before I stabilized and then sweetened and it began fermenting like crazy. I let it finish and has been sitting for a few more months, just stabilized tonight and will sweeten again in a couple days. Alc is going to be high, but assuming it tastes good, hell I don't plan on driving anyway
I did not really care for it when fermented with Champagne yeast. Try it next time with Nottingham, it yields a little more body and apple flavor. I just started one with t-58. We'll see how that turns out...
I have the exact same outcome with my apfelwein. Some people have said that bottle ageing will improve the flavor. We will see.
so last week i racked mine over a 48oz. bottle of Pom Wonderful Blueberry Pomegranate juice.....Holy cow this stuff turned from bad to amazing. I will bottle soon and let it age awhile. Cant wait for this cause the sample i had was amazing.
To add mouthfeel you can add glycerin... but I think it has to be stabilized. I'm not sure. To add body you can add some raisins (golden raisins won't change the color too much), but that will restart fermentation temporarily. Backsweetening with apple juice will bring all the delicious apple flavor right back, but you have to be sure it's really stabilized.
Edwort's (modified) ApfelweinBierMuncher's Centennial BlondeCuinrearview's Gumballhead-Inspired WPAPelikan's John's Red English Barleywine
I had a box of bottles that wasin the back of my fermentation room that sat for a bit more than a year. The flavor of the Apfle wine with a year was amazing. I had another batch that had been bulk aging for a year and I mixed it half anf half with a straight mead that I had bulk aging for a while. The intial taste was really good-I can hardly wait to get six months on it to see how the flavors develope.

no mayonnaise either.
Is the French Defense masculine or feminine?
Mayonnaise is feminine while ketchup is masculine.
deviled eggs are masculine. ironic.
Deviled eggs are amazing. Scotch eggs too.
and beans on toast.
Tea eggs > deviled & scotch eggs
When I was at university I'm pretty sure I ate beans on toast with a fried egg on top three times a week. I didn't have the most spohisticated palette, I'll admit.
That sounds really good actually :p
3 times a week it would probably get old (but what woudln't).
I am the Sun King
we'd have this + mustard. dude, yum. but not really.
Problem is masculine, solution is feminine
Le problème et la solution! I didn't realize that. I had to look it up because when I don't know the gender of a noun, and it has an E at the end, I guess it's feminine. Of course, a noun's gender really has no bearing on sex.
The problem IS masculine, but the BEGINNING of the problem is feminine.
i hope you have a big enought tool to fix the proplem then..mfw019
UH-OH a little help Ishtar.......PLEASE!!!

Sadly, Jutta & Walter were here during the Boston Marathon terrorist attack. They were not only perfect guests in every way, they stayed in incredibly good spirits during a very difficult time, including being confined to our homes for a day. The positive side of that was that we spent a lot of time with them and they felt like old friends by the time they left. I can't say enough about how neat, considerate and charming and interesting they are.

Mug-Tree: A Playful Mug to Encourage Healthy Habit of Drinking Fluid Regularly Ju-Chun Ko, Yi-Ping Hung, Hao-hua Chu Graduate Institute of Networking and Multimedia National Taiwan University email@example.com, {hung, email@example.com Abstract. We have explored the design of a playful mug, called Mug-Tree, to motivate people to drink water regularly and to develop a good water-drinking habit. Our system includes (1) a smart mug that can recognize user drinking from it, and (2) a digital photo frame that displays a playful game connecting water drinking to watering a virtual tree. The Mug-Tree reminds users to drink water regularly, and also help users to develop a good water drinking habit by attracting continuous participation to this game. Keywords: smart object, persuasive media, digital healthcare 1 Introduction Water is essential for survival of all life on earth, including human. Since water con- sists of about 60%~70% of our body weight, we need plenty of fresh water replen- ishment everyday to keep water flowing in the body and stay healthy. Among the many important functions of water in our body are [1] regulating body temperature and blood circulation, carrying nutrients and oxygen to cells, removing toxin and other wastes, etc. Studies have shown that an adult should drink at least 10 eight- ounce glasses of water a day, and more under overweight, high workload and heat stress [2]. However, recent studies have found that most people don't drink enough water [3]. Such chronic water deficiency may lead to both short and long term health illnesses, including hypertension, asthma, allergies, and migraine headaches. Although most people know the importance of drinking water or fluid (water can also mean fluid in this paper), but it is easy to forget to drink water regularly during our everyday business. Often, we delay water drinking until our dried tongues and dehydrated bodies notify us the urgency to get some water. A better way of keeping our body healthy of water is to develop a habit of drinking water regularly. That is, to keep regular supply of water handy and drink on a regular schedule rather than wait until we feel thirsty [3]. In this work, we would like to adapt Ubicomp and persuasive technology to help people develop this healthy water drinking habit. We take the smart object approach. By embedding behavior modification into an everyday drinking mug called Mug-Tree, it can remind and motivate users to drink water from the mug regularly while provid- ing a playful interaction to motivate people into enjoying drinking water. Its long term goal is to help users develop a good water-drinking habit. Recently, there are several work on embedding digital persuasion into everyday objects for a variety of human behavior modifications, such as the ToothTunes tooth brush [4], the playful eating tray [5], the VITO TV remote [6], the Waterbot bathroom sink [7], the nutritional-aware kitchen [8], etc. Our Mug-Tree shares a similar goal. However, since it targets a different behavior, it has different design considerations and persuasion strategies. 2 Design Consideration Our target users can be workers in general. While busy working on their jobs, they often forget to drink water regularly. To help them, we utilize a play-based behavior modification model developed previously [5] for designing our Mug-Tree as shown in Figure 1. At the foundation is playfulness, which is an activity design that can induce a user's active participation in the water drinking activity. It is realized as a game that brings enjoyment and motivates users to drink water at a regular time interval. The 2nd layer is active engagement, which links digital game playing to the physical water drinking. The 3rd layer is reinforcement, which provides timely game reward to strengthen water drinking behavior. Through repetition, this behavior of active en- gagement can be internalized and become a water drinking habit. Habitual behavior Reinforcement Engagement Playfulness Fig. 1. Schematic representation of the play-based model We have identified the following three design considerations for our Mug-Tree: at- tention, enjoyment, and engagement. First, the Mug-Tree must be able to draw a user's attention when it is time to drink water. According to [9], people often concen- trate too much on working such that they are unaware of thirsty signals from their body. To remind users, the Mug-Tree periodically produces visible events to grab user attention. The second design consideration is enjoyment. The game design must bring sufficient enjoyment and pleasure to attract users' participation. When people drink water from time to time, their physical body may not bring any substantial feel- ing of reward and satisfaction, because the reward is mostly felt internally within a body. To bring greater enjoyment of reward to drinking water, our Mug-Tree is linked to a game that provides playful interaction to users. The third design consideration is engagement, which connects the natural drinking from a mug to a digital game inter- action. There is no need for users to operate any digital devices, because our Mug- Tree recognizes drinking events automatically. 3 Preliminary Mug-Tree Prototype We have created a preliminary Mug-Tree prototype shown in Fig. 2. The system contains the following components: (1) a sensor-enhanced mug shown in Fig. 2(b) recognizes water drinking events and transmits these events wirelessly to a digital photo frame; and (2) a water drinking game, displayed on a digital photo frame shown in Fig. 2(c), takes these drinking events as inputs to play a game. We will first de- scribe the activity recognition of the smart mug, followed by the water drinking game on the digital photo frame. Fig. 2. The Mug-Tree prototype Activity recognition of a smart mug. To recognize a user's drinking event, a low cost mercoid switch sensor is installed at the base of a mug to detect tilt motion of the mug. This tilt motion is a necessary step in drinking from a mug, that is, a user needs to tilt the mug to get the water flowing out the mug to his/her mouth. In addition, a radio is used to wirelessly transmit drinking events to a digital photo frame. Water drinking game on a digital photo frame. A visual game runs on a digital photo frame. This game is based on a metaphor in which an act of caring and watering a virtual tree symbolizes a similar act of caring for one's own body through regular water drinking. When a mug detects that a user does not drink enough water regularly, the virtual tree will turn from beautiful green full of leaves, shown in Fig. 2(d), to withered bare branches, shown in Fig. 2(e). The game feedback is designed to be subtle and not interruptive/disruptive to users' current work. Therefore, we use this game metaphor that reminds users that their body is just like a slowly dehydrating tree. In addition, this game hopes to cultivate growing empathy from users to the well- beings of virtual trees. In the other way, the game theme is not limited to a tree, but can be changed to other suitable, user-preferred metaphor. An example can be cute ducks wanting plentiful rainwater (generated by user water drinking) to fill up a pond where they can swim happily. 4 Discussion and Future Work Preliminary experience using the Mug-Tree gives new future directions for improve- ment. First, since most users are unlikely to bring a mug with them anywhere they drink, e.g., in restaurants, there is a portability concern. In addition, users may drink directly from pre-packaged containers, such as a can of juice, or a bottle of milk, etc. To address this portability issue, we are thinking to create an attachable and detach- able base that can fit the bottom of most cups or bottles. In addition, this base can recognize and wirelessly transmit drinking events to any game display at home, a mobile display carried by users (e.g., a cell phone display), or a flexible display at- tached to the base. Second, we are interested in detailed information on beverages in the mug in order to provide additional health guidance, e.g., preventing diabetes pa- tients from overdrinking sugary fluids. Third, we are thinking to provide different levels of game feedbacks in which users can choose based on their needs. This is similar to different settings on an alarm clock. For example, the first level would gently remind users through a visual feedback such as the virtual tree described previ- ously; the second level could softly remind users by a dry sound such as wood burn- ing; the third level might be soft interruption such as a pop-up post-it on their desktop computer; and the last level is a forceful interruption, such as turning on a screensaver, to force users to drink water immediately. It is also possible to have different forms of feedbacks such as connecting a user's drinking event to watering a real plant in an office or at home. Finally, we are thinking to bring social collaboration into the game by extending it to the Internet. Consider creating a virtual forest in which the health of a tree maps to a participant's water drinking habit. People can send messages to each other to remind and encourage regular water drinking, as well as to express caring for each other. We believe that adding social collaboration to the game can make an ef- fective persuasion strategy. References 1. F.

ITAEWON : The Global Community in Seoul: Global Fashions and Foods
Itaewon is a unique place in Seoul where one can meet people of diverse nationalities and cultures. There is a popular joke saying that international residents may not know Seoul, but they know Itaewon. Seoul even designated Itaewon as its first 'Special Tourism District,' to highlight it as a destination for internationals to enjoy a diversity of culture, shopping, and entertainment experiences.
Itaewon is in the middle of Yongsan-gu, which borders the northern part of the Hangang River. It is also close to Seoul Station, Myeong-dong, and Namsan Mountain. The formation of this exotic and global tourism site is closely associated with modern Korean history.
In the aftermath of the Korean War, American soldiers began to stay in the Yongsan Garrison and, consequently, numerous businesses and housing complexes were formed in Yongsan. In preparation for international meetings, the Seoul Asian and Olympic Games, the government strengthened tourism infrastructures and revitalized commerce, prompting international tourists from other parts of the world (such as Japan, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, etc.) to visit Itaewon.
Itaewon typically refers to the street full of stores, restaurants, and stalls over 1.4 kilometers between Itaewon 1-dong and Hannam 2-dong in the east. Fashion shops specialize in various imported clothes, leather goods, fur goods, handbags, shoes, and antique furniture. Big and tall sizes unavailable in other areas are well-stocked, and experienced tailors offer customized clothes.
Another one of Itaewon's many draws is its diverse food culture, which features cuisine from around world. Restaurants right behind Hamilton Hotel form a type of exhibition hall for international foods from Korea, New York, London, India, Thailand, China, Greece, Pakistan, Italy, France, Mexico, Australia, and more. Unique flavors, exotic interiors, and diverse nationalities help to make Itaewon befittingly 'the global village in Seoul.'

Great neighborhood. Easy to find and very accessible. As we are 3 students, the price range and the size of the room are too good to be true. Room is really neat and clean. Direction and information is written in detail and easy to follow up. Yoonche is reachable and fast respond.
The apartment was very neat and organized. Yoonche nicely provided an extra air mattress to accommodate a seventh person. The PDF he sent helped us all find the place easily and answered any questions we had. The apartment is nicely located in Itaewon, close to many bars and clubs. My only complaint is that we were told after the booking that we must keep quiet after 9PM. Regardless, we made some noise at night, as you would expect a group of seven friends to do, but no one bothered us about it.
All in all I would say it was a positive experience.
Yoonche is a fantastic host! I arrived in Seoul at about 6am. As I had my nieces with me, I requested for an early check-in. Yoonche and his house manager was very kind. They accommodated to my request despite having to clean the apartment in the wee hours as the previous guests checked out at 1am. The apartment was very clean and there were ample resources and maps for us, making our first visit to Seoul an easy one. On the first night, the apartment was very cold even after switching on the heater to its maximum. I texted Yoonche and he arrived 20mins later with the house manager. They checked the heater thoroughly and tried ways to make us feel warm. They made some adjustments to the heater and left the house for awhile to let the system run. They came back 30mins later with some snacks for us! The heater ran well for the rest of our stay. Yoonche also reminded us of the slippery road when it snowed heavily on one of the days. Our stay at Yoonche's was great and we will definitely return. The apartment is near the subway and there are many halal eateries nearby. Good for families. Thank you, Yoonche!
The place is really clean and nice. Itaewon station is not far from the apartment at all. There are many foods, desserts, banks and bars on the way from the station to the apartment. There are many nice coffee shops around there too !
Yoonche is a really nice host, he kindly provided us what we needed and tell us what we should know.
His instruction for the apartment is really clear and easy to understand.
Thank you Yoonche ~ ^^
We stayed at a different flat than the one we have booked as it was taken by an instant booking (funny because we had a confirmation and money was processed etc). At the end of the day it didn't matter to us as the most important thing is the place is 3 bedroom and close to transportation. Yoonche was a good host, he replied to my enquiries promptly, gave us very clear instructions on EVERYTHING around the house and even managed to have us check in earlier (with 2 young kids, luggages and a stroller, it is such a relief). The place we stayed at was very convenient, nice, clean, close to transportation, shops, cafes, eatery, supermarkets and pharmacies. Itaewon was a great choice for us and we loved it there. The flat had sufficient amenities for the kitchen, even have microwave, a fridge, stove...everything you see on the picture is true. The beds were comfortable and the room is quiet spacious for an asian flat. As it is on the first floor it is very easy to get to for shopping, luggage etc. There's a little uphill to get to the flat but it wasn't too bad for us.
We had to leave the flat in such a hurry that morning, I'm sorry if we have left anything behind etc.
Overall, it was a good experience to stay in a local place rather than a hotel and we would definitely consider booking one of Yoonche's flats next time we come to Seoul.
it is really warm to have your ppt, when I arrived the airport,I just need to follow your steps from the ppt, I can easily find the apartment.
Also, the apartment is big enough for 5 people and things and setting is good for this price.
I have to sorry for disturbing the neighbors.
it was a nice trip
and the place is convinence thank you so much.
The apartment was located about 300-400 meters from Itaewon subway station which was very convenient. The apartment was very clean and spacious and had a very detailed guide of what everything, from opening the locks to throwing away the rubbish. This was very helpful to us. Additionally, the host provided us with a microwave for our visit. The host was also very helpful and attended to all our email/ watsap queries.
While the apartment was good, however, there is some issues with the room doors which could not be closed properly for some reason. While, it did not effect our stay, it could cause some privacy issues for other guests. Another thing to note, to get to the apartment, you would need to go down a slope, while it did not cause concern for me, it was a bit difficult for my elderly parents to go up and down the slope to get to the apartment.
All in all, it was a very good stay, and we would stay there again in the future.

ID help and care please!!
My roommate moved out and abandoned her plants... I have no idea what they are but I have tried to care for them as best as I can (very little knowledge here) I was sitting here one afternoon and the plant actually fell over onto the floor. I stood it back up as well as possible (leaning against a wall) and watered it... It seemed to revive a bit but still leaned. I then decided it needed a bigger pot (there were 6 plants in the pot with it) After repotting it with new potting soil it still seems to be leaning. I have a few pics as you can see before and after repotting. I also have no idea of the smaller plants that were also in the pot. There was an ivy that was dead and I threw that out but these spiky things seem to be thriving.
I have no idea what the big guy is, but the little spiky guys look like Dracaenas to me (pronounced druh-see-nuh). They are very easy to care for. As I only have one and am not well experienced with this plant, I cannot offer advice,but just wait, and I'm sure someone else will chime in with some helpful tips.
The big one is a dieffenbachia sp. Often when they get big they'll flop over, too much weight for the stem to support. I have one that is over six feet tall and since it was about four feet it would no longer stand up on its own but otherwise is healthy. Feels like a garden hose under pressure when I move it around.
The little ones look like Dracaenas to me too but the photos don't show them well enough to say for sure.
Normal basic care for both. Keep the soil damp but not wet, let them get moderately dry very four to six weeks but not too dry, You don't want the soil to start showing cracks or pulling away from the sides of the pot. When you water them water enough so that you see water running out of the bottom of the pot but then don't let the pot sit in the water. Half strength fertilizer very two or three weeks might be a good idea too.
Neither one would need nor want direct sun, bright indirect light is best for both, A little bit of sun won't hurt them but no more then a couple of hours a day.
Are you at VaTech? (hokie)? If so, perhaps they have a public plant clinic somewhere over there in the Ag. quad. Or call the greenhouses to see what kind of help you might be able to obtain.

Hi, I hope someone can help me ID my unknown plant! Once ID'd I hope to find some good tips on the proper care...
I received this plant as a gift and have no idea what it is...its leaves are green, with almost teardrop shaped leaves, very similar to a pothos; but it has pink margins in spots with white striping (which sperates the pink areas from the green). You will notice from the photo that the leaves are predominately green, yet still variegated!
The mature, larger leaves are covering the smaller leaves and preventing them from reachong full size... My guess would be they are starved from good light, and they're stretching a bit in an attempt to get more. Some of the leaves are warping... there doesn't seem any pest issues at the moment. However, once I know what plant this is I will be able to care better for it! Can anybody help?
Thanks! =)

Hokie, when I try opening your links, I get an error message.
Houseplantlover..your plant is gorgoues..colors are amazing.
Are leaves thick or thin?
IF Izhar is right, and I believe he/she is, grow it as you would a Coleus. Do you plan on summering outdoors? If so, place in deep shade to start. In summer, they're heavy drinkers, 'outside.'
Izhar, I believe your ID is correct, however I thought Alternanthera leaves are thin?? HPL's looks thick.
Does anyone know if Alternantherea's are related to Coleus? Toni
Thanks to everyone, it seems you found the plant!! Based on comparing my plant to photos on Google, they match up - despite my plant having much less 'hot pink' on the leaves! Should I be concerned with the stretching or the small size of the immature leaves?? More light, more water? I let it dry out in its pot, mainy because I wasn't sure exactly what I had.... without a doubt it was sold as is in a well draining medium. Very little peat is in it.
Thanks again for all the help!
Houseplant.. Altern/Joseph's Coat, are mainly used for annual, garden plants. When outdoors, they're grown in medium-bright light. Never, direct west or south sun.
Indoors, 'winter,' they should be placed in the brightest light possible. During 'summer,' either set outside, or place in bright-indirect light. Harsh summer sun will scorch leaves.
In summer they're heavy drinkers. Since they're fast-growing, fertilize weekly or bi-weekly. You could start now, using 1/4-1/2 strength.
The brighter the light, variegation will be more pronouned, and leaves will grow larger.
If there's anything to worry about, it's Spider Mites. Hose leaves at least once a week, inspect for webbing while you're at it. Beautiful plant..
As soon as they're avialable in garden centers, I'm going to get a few..lol. Good luck, Toni

Hiding a door key outdoors?
Last night during a heavy downpour, I thought I would check the gutters on my new house, to identify the problem areas before I call the gutter guy.
As I pulled the backdoor closed to keep the cats from getting out I realized I had just locked myself out of the house. Haven't done that in a long time!
Luckily (and atypically!) I had my cell phone in my pocket, so as I waited for a friend to come get me to run me over to work to pick up the spare, I thought about how to prevent this kind of jam in the future.
I don't know the neighbors all that well, so I'm reluctant at this point to leave a key with neighbors.
I don't always have my cell phone on my person (and, like most folks these days don't have my friends phone numbers memorized) so just having a key with the folks most likely to take care of the cats in my absence isn't the most reliable solution. (Plus, most of my friends live on the other sides of town.)
At my old apartment, I had a spare key in a magnetic box usually used to hide car keys behind the bumper, tucked in the underside of the fire escape stairs. It always made me a little nervous someone might find it by accident, but that would be less of a problem here at the new house, since I have a security system that is always on at night or when I'm at work.
Do you hide a spare key outdoors? If so, where? I figure under the mat, under flower pots and the like are too obvious -- I'm looking for good ideas!
Wow -- 3 acres has a lot of hiding spaces!
Unfortunately, I'm on a 35'x71' plot in the inner city. There is a fence around the back "yard" but if someone wanted to get in they could simply open the gate.
I've been looking at under/around window and door sashes, taped to the backside of the mailbox -- I even thought about running something up a string to the second floor porch.
There's hidey-holes everywhere -- just have to find the one I feel comfortable with!
Do you have a garden shed?.
We swapped keys with our friends and neighbors. Our key is in their garage and theirs is in our garden shed.
Before we hit on this idea We had ours in the shed in a plant saucer with the flower pot secured to the pot--one of those saucers that snap on, We had smaller pots inside of this one and we set it inside a bigger one. Anyone trying to find it would have to go through the pile of pots. Of course we knew which pot held the key so it was no trouble for us.
We have a small key-safe with combination lock installed on our porch. So, it's not actually hidden, but it's pretty hard to break into. Of course, you have to remember the combination, so pick something easy for when your brain is addled, or record it in some kind of code fashion. Also, we did put it in a somewhat out-of-the-way place, so lighting is not great at night, particularly if had a power outage and no porch lighting at all, and it's good to have a flashlight or similar. It has come in pretty handy. Perhaps there are horror stories of these devices not being secure, but it seems okay to me.
I love the key safe idea! I actually hide my key less than 3 feet from the back door - but you would never see it.
Our house was broken into 12 years ago. They broke out the window and broke in. It doesn't take a key to get into your house. If you don't hide a key, you're just keeping yourself out. There is no way to keep out the "bad guys" if they really want in. Any windows or doors can easily be broken into by wise crminals.
So hide a key and make your own life easier, and trust Fate that you will be OK.
I don't hide a key, but when electric garage door openers were installed in the garage, I paid extra for a number pad outside that will open the garage door. I'm going to be out of luck during a power outage though.
I have a key to my front door hidden in a planter box on my deck. I've used it a couple of times. Before I did that, I once locked myself out of my house and had to break a window to get in. I've always felt that locks don't keep burglars out. My SIL once came home and found her front door bashed in. The robbers simply smashed the door off its frame. If they want to get in, they'll find a way.
I had actually looked at those keyless do-hickeys that morning!
Good ideas, everyone. It's a tiny yard, barely 12 feet from the house to the alley, so no shed or garage, but I'm sure there are a million good hiding spots.
I've got my sspare key and my magnetic tin -- I'm off to scout locations.
I've also got mine outside in a little watertight container hidden in a place.
I'm also of the opinion that if someone wants to break into my house, they are not going to snoop around for a key. I have a lot of windows & that's how they're getting in. It's the easiest way.
I personally don't like the idea of trading keys with neighbors. If I need a key, I just want to go get it. I don't like the idea of the neighbor potentially being gone when I need that key.
Not only the neighbor being gone when you need the key, but I had an episode with a neighbor where we had a falling out because of a situation where she took advantage of me. (After that, it was all I could imagine.) It was very uncomfortable for me to ask for the key back, but I did. (It was that or get all my locks changed.) Anyway, I won't ever do that again! Really, it's better to be self-sufficient in this case.
Once I had an aluminum storm door. I stuck the spare key to the door closer thingy with duct tape, which matched the color of the door. So well, in fact, that when I needed the key I first thought someone had taken it! It took me a few minutes to remember where the duct tape was.
Another time, I lived in a three family house with a shared basement. My spare key was taped to the back of my dryer with duct tape. Of course, this method depended on someone else being home to let me into the basement.
Currently, there is a mail slot in the front door. So the key is taped to the inside of the front door where I can reach it through the mail slot.
I rely on duct tape a lot!
Hah! When I read about the Akita who guarded the key, I laughed out loud. My husband asked what had made me laugh. We know a couple of Akitas, and there is no way anyone would try to break into their house.
I told him about this thread, and he says he's been considering moving our key that is presently nailed to a tree. It's quite a distance from the house. Not very convenient if it's dark out, or if there's a lot of snow on the ground. He asked me if I think it's a good idea to attach it somehow to the bottom of a bird feeder.
Why not? I don't think a robber would look there for a house key.
At our old place, we had a bike sitting outside of the front door. We put the key in the workings of the bike, right behind one of the reflectors. It was easy to get if you knew where it was, but you would never see it b/c it blended right in with all of the metal workings on the bike.
Right now, we have a keypad on the garage. I REALLY like having it. It makes it so easy to open the garage from the outside if you, say, need to get the lawnmower but don't want to go through the inside.
this is a good reminder as i have been locked out by the dear husband with the head injury..and had to wait for someone to come ..hours..to get back in..my son next door has a key..but he wasn't home.
i think i'll have to remember to put a key outside somewhere..we have 5 acres..guess i can find a safe place.
I have used this. You just "plant" it in your garden area, but you do have to be aware of plant or weed overgrowth so you can reach it when you need to!
Here is a link that might be useful: sprinkler key hider
I think the biggest "thief" you would need to worry about would be the people who know. The ones who want to be able to get into your house without alerting you. Your son's friend, who wants to pilfer the liquor cabinet, or the "petty cash" fund, for example.
Most identity theft, in fact, is perpetrated by someone the victim knows well. That's the sort of person who might use the hidden key against you.
I'm not worried about that.
There is a security system and so far, only 1 person has that come. (The system allows for up to three codes, so I could actually tell who is coming into the house.)
Actually, the alarm system is a deterrent to anyone who might find the key in the yard, since it's always on at night, while I'm at work, and sometimes even when I'm just hanging out at home.
I did find a good spot on the porch. Not visible but easily reached if you know it's there. Not part of anything people could pick up, shake, accidently jostle -- pretty safe, I think!
I lurk here often... and thought I share. Back when my girls were little, the key was in the box from my youngest daughters rabbit. Twas the best place I ever had.
Of course, I can't tell you where I have it now... cause then I would have to kill you. LOL

SYNOPSIS: Somewhere deep in the jungle a chemical corporation dumps tons of toxic waste in a still active volcano. Two environmentalists try to expose these illegal ways of getting rid of hugely dangerous waste, but they get caught by the vigilantes working for the company. One of them, the super-hot Maria Giulia Cavalli, manages to escape and she is saved by a snake farmer who lives alone in the jungle. Together they try to bring … Continue reading


text: Stayed here recently in a group, great location close to Scotland yard, rooms were lovely and comfortable, service was great. The only down side was the view from our room but that can't really be helped! Truly beautiful lobby area! Would recommend but would ask for a different room with a good view.

I can't imagine myself going anywhere else to buy my wedding dress!! The whole experience was top notch from start to finish.
I first reached out to Jennifer's Bridal when I learned about their sister boutique in Oxford, PA that sold once worn dresses. I had a strict budget for my dress and alterations and thought that Bride by J would be a better fit. After emailing back and forth with Jennifer, she urged me to also come to Jennifer's as they were having a sample sale and had a large selection of dresses in my price range. I am so happy that I took her advice! Not only did I go to Jennifer's in Hockessin and find my dream dress (a perfect Alvina Valenta gown that Jennifer suggested I try on) but she also brought my top dresses to my appointment at Bride by J in Oxford that evening so that my Mom and Grandma could see them. Both boutiques were beautiful and the experience was very personal. Jennifer is fantastic at what she does and put me in my dress when I had no idea what I wanted! My family and I had a great and FUN experience, plus I felt like I was able to try on a wide selection of dresses while staying in my budget. I am looking forward to April 2015 when it's time for alterations! I would highly recommend both Jennifer's and Bride by J to anyone looking for a fun and personal experience when searching for your gown! Thanks again Jennifer :)
awwwhhh! Alyssa we love you! It was so fun working with you and I am so happy you found your dream dress.
Jennifer's Bridal is a shop growing up that I had always dreamed that i would be buying a dress from. The staff and Amy were extremely attentive when helping me pick the perfect dress! Since I currently live in NC the communication and stress relief was key :) I wold recommend anyone to Jennifer's , if not for your wedding dress than for an any occasion , they have it all. I had a strict budget and they helped me stay on tract including my absolutely beautiful jewelry.... I chose to be the non-traditional bride so the variety was wonderful. Hands down best experience, Trust me i tried a lot of places and they take the cake!
Thanks Ashlee
Your great review means so much to us! Congratulations!
Gorgeous dress selection, beautiful shop and wonderful service!
Had a wonderful experience at Jennifer's. The consultant was extremely helpful and made me feel very comfortable.
Everyone at Jennifer's is wonderful, and I am so happy I made the drive from VA to shop there!
Jennifer's was amazing! She was really good at responding to my e-mails and answering all my questions when I wanted an update on my dress. I got to work with Jennifer directly and she helped me build my dream dress. I walked in not knowing exactly what I wanted and Jennifer helped me try on lots of dresses. My mom, 3 sisters and I all got to pull dresses for me to try on. I tried one on and loved the top but wasn't crazy about the bottom. It was a Modern Trousseau, so we were able to 'build' our own dress. I got one with polka-dots and I absolutely LOVED it! I never thought I'd have a dress with polka-dots but it was perfect thanks to Jennifer's! I got so many compliments on my dress and I was so excited to be able to finally wear it! -Aven Schorran King
It was awesome! I loved it as much as you! Thank you for your sweet review! So happy for you! All our best!
Jennifer's bridal is the best place to get your wedding dress! Jennifer is so great to work with and loves what she does! I had the whole store to myself during my appointment and had so much fun trying on all the beautiful dresses. There is such a unique variety of dresses, there is something for everyone. Jennifer helped create the perfect dress for me- I took one part of 3 different dresses from the same designer and made my very own custom dress! The dress turned out perfectly and I received so many compliments on it on my wedding day. I would recommend Jennifer's to every bride out there! It is the best!
I am so grateful for your kind review. It is true, I love what I do and it is because of sweet, fun brides like you. I loved that you had a vision and loved even more that you had the faith and trust in me to help you create your dream dress! It was such a pleasure working with you and your family. We truly appreciate your business!
Not only did they have a wonderful selection but they were very patient about the fact that I wanted to try on most dresses in the store AND the dress (which i said YES! to) multiple times. The store is clean and inviting and I can't wait to go back with all of my friends when they get married!
Jennifer's is amazing! I was struggling to find a dress in Washington, DC (where I live) or New York (where my family and wedding venue are located). A friend suggested Jennifer's -- halfway between both locations. I went thinking there was no way I would find a dress so my mom didn't even come! Of course, I found exactly what I was looking for. Jennifer's was reasonably priced yet still had high quality brand names. My Modern Trousseau dress was perfect :)
Hesitant to make a decision without my mom there, the staff at Jennifer's did everything they could to make me feel comfortable. We called my mom and made her feel like part of the appointment. The team also allowed me to make a last minute appointment to come back a month later to show my mom the dress in person. For my fittings, the team accommodated us even when traffic made us very late! They were flexible on time and willing to do whatever it took to make this experience work for me.
I would recommend working with Jennifer, Amy, Susan and the rest of the crew at Jennifer's 10 times out of 10! They are a dream boutique without breaking the bank! Thank you, ladies!!
Highly recommend Jennifer's to any bride who wants to have the perfect experience in finding her dress. Jennifer helped me find my perfect dress and I could not have been happier. Jennifer and her team are extremely sweet, friendly, responsive, patient and helpful. The boutique is gorgeous with tons of amazing gowns to choose from. So happy this was the only place I tried on dresses!
Everything was perfect and so easy at Jennifers! Their seamstress was great too!
Great selections of dresses and assesories. Outstanding service provided by the best employees! I got married in Europe and looked for dresses in different states and countries. Jennifer's had exactly what I wanted (and had the best price on the gown I chose!)
I love Jennifer's I had a wonderful experience. Everyone there is extremely helpful and friendly. In addition to gorgeous dresses they also have a great selection of accessories. I brought jewelry to my first fitting and when I tried it on with my dress I realized it didn't look right. I was able to find earrings and a braclet that look perfect with my dress.
I cannot praise Jennifer's Bridal, specifically Amy, enough. They were beyond accommodating, cost effective, sweet and professional. Not to mention their seamstress Susan is a miracle worker. I had a 1pm fitting and she was completed at 3pm with a press that same day! Fits like a glove. Cute shop as well. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine we brought in.
I purchased my Lazaro gown and crystal headpiece from Jennifer's in December '12 during their sample sale event!! Amy was so helpful & made the experience fun & enjoyable. I also used their seamstress, Susan Downes, who was just as wonderful. Thank you so much for everything!!!

New OSU Leader: Ohio State Commits $400M To Affordability Effort
Ohio State University's newest president says the institution is committing $400 million over five years to lower students' costs and improve the value of their education.
A gambling company building casinos in Ohio says it will move its horse tracks in Grove City and Toledo to new sites within the state if lawmakers allow video slot machines at all of Ohio's racetracks.
Penn National Gaming Inc. wants to build new tracks near Youngstown and in Dayton, at the site of an abandoned auto parts plant.
The company says it will spend $400 million on the two new tracks.
The moves would mean the end of Beulah Park and Raceway Park in Toledo. Penn National is building casinos in both those markets and says they'd be competing for customers with the tracks.
The biggest hurdle may be securing approval of video slots. Gov. John Kasich says he wants to study the idea.

whenever I'm in town I always stop by and grab a slab of ribs and I grab a slab to take home as well.I have been eating the ribs for years love there BBQ
After not having been there for a few years, this was a trip back in time. The restaurant hasn't changed much since my last visit, perhaps even getting a bit better. The people at the counter were terrific, offering tastes of the side dishes and offering suggestions. We settled on burnt ends and turkey; both were moist, tasty, and just... More
This place is extremely popular around here, but there are a lot better BBQ places in KC that are a better value. Try Joe's Kansas City Barbecue (formerly known as Oklahoma Joe's) or Jackstack. They are way better!
Very good assortment of barbeque pork, chicken, turkey, and beef. Maybe others I didn't see. Order at the bar and pick a seat. Service was fast and food was tasty. A rich smoky aroma throughout the facility.
While our portions were of above average size they were nothing to write home about. We normally visit several bbq establishments while in Kansas City we visited three this time....I would rank this one as number two.
I used to be a pretty big fan of Zardas, but have been pretty astonished at how far they have dropped in food quality. We visited the Lenexa location on 87th street in Dec '14. Burnt ends were dry, tough, over-smoked pieces from the brisket flat (v tender morsels that can be obtained from the deckel or brisket point). Pulled... More
We dined at the 87th St. Lenexa location. The service was quick and the food was good and warm. The burnt ends are my favorite. The slaw has a vinegar like flavor rather than the sweet flavor of most others laws. When added to the top of a pulled pork sandwich it makes for great eating.
Yummy yummy!! This is a BBQ staple for us! Always good and consistent. Hands down the best burnt ends...small chunks of brisket and ham cooked in sauce all day to give it a nice crunch. Mouthwatering goodness! Love the fried pickles, corn nuggets, and onion rings! All come with side of ranch and this is the GOOD ranch. Zardas offers... More
Zarda is a fixture in Lenexa and has consistently provided a great experience for me and anyone I bring to the establishment. The first thing you will notice is the stacks of wood outside for the smokers and the smell, which is always mouthwatering. It can be difficult to get to the parking lot if you don't plan ahead, so... More

Welch's anyone?
Has anyone else discovered Welch's Passion Fruit juice cocktail? No, it's not pure passion fruit juice (it's a blend with white grape juice from concentrate) so the flavor isn't as strong as fresh passion fruit. But man, considering the price as compared to fresh fruit, it's a bargain. I love this stuff.
Here is a link that might be useful:
I got the frozen concentrate of the passionfruit from Welches. My kids like to make breakfast ices on the weekend with them. Put the frozen concentrate, 1 c. of water and 3 c. of ice in the blender. It is awesome you can add lime juice if it is too sweet. You can also add fresh fruit like banana, pineapple etc for a healthier variety. I like to use the passionfruit concentrate in mixed drinks as well.
The starfruit/pineapple one by Hawaii's Own is good too.

The individual bungalows are very nice and the sounds of the rain forest are magical at night. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is a good value for the price. Make sure if you drive that you have a SUV since the last few miles are driving over a heavy duty gravel road. We took advantage of the horse back riding as well for an extra fee on property which was good.

My wife and I stayed 4 nights (the duration of our trip) and were treated like family in incredible rain forest surroundings. There is a nice pool and breath-taking views of both the ocean and rain forest. La Paloma is off the beaten path and more likely suited for those with a slightly more adventurous spirit. You can get a true Puerto Rican experience here.
Thank you Nilda for a wonderful place to stay and treating us like family! - Chris & Ashley.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Torcolo Verona
Great Value in an Excellent Location
My husband and I stayed at the Torcolo last month based partially on reviews from this site. I am happy to report that we were not disappointed.
The Torcolo is a simple hotel that, honestly, does not have any charm or quaintness in its appearance, but that is clean, comfortable and well located.
Our room was large for European standards with a big dresser and plenty of room for our suitcases and walking around. There was a phone. There was also a nice sized bathroom with shower. We did not get the breakfast as we wanted to save money, so we only paid E 90.00 for our double room.
The hotel is located just off of the piazza that is right in front of the arena, so we could easily walk to all of the major sites including the arena, the Castello Vecchio, the church, the gardens, etc. We were also steps from the wonderful main shopping street, and restaurants.
The service was friendly and professional. We received a wake-up call on request, and a cab was called for us to get to the train station.
For the price, this place cannot be beat. I would definitely stay there again.
I booked this hotel after reading the comments on the TripAdvisor website, and I certainly was not disappointed! My partner was dubious, but agreed as soon as we arrived that the hotel was wonderful, especially for a 2 star. You wouldn't get service and facilities like this for the same price in many destinations.
We had room 32, which was very romantic, and were told that we had been put in there because we were a young couple (obviously looking like we needed some romance!). The room was immaculate, as was the bathroom, with lovely low windows, and was much bigger then I had expected.
The staff were so helpful and kind, we had a really perfect stay. For breakfast we opted for going out to a cafe, to save money, but I would recommend this anyway as you get to mingle with real Italians on their way to work! What more could you ask for?
Great service
We spent 8 nights here and Caterina and staff were all terrific. You can't expect much from the facilities for a 2-star hotel, but the location, owner (Sylvia) and staff - especially Caterina made Verona a special place.
Ask Caterina for her favourite restaurants and you can't go wrong. She suggested Al Pompiere and it was so good we spent two meals there.
Children are welcome, and for excellent value, you can't beat Torcolo.
Beautiful place to stay!
Hotel Torcolo is the best place to stay when you are in Verona. We found it years ago and we always return: the staff is friendly and nice, rooms are clean, price is cheap considering that you are right in front of Arena... and cats are welcome too! Hotels like this is what you miss in other Italian towns.
Torcolo is excellent
Torcolo is excellent. Definitely deservers to be more than 2 stars.
Very clean and spacious. One of the very few Italian hotels that actually have double beds instead if two singles side-by-side. Staff speak English and are very helpful.
No Flaws Found
My wife and I stayed at the Torcolo on 10-9-03. We enjoyed the hotel very much. It was clean, friendly, perfectly located, and reasonably priced. We dealt with Caterina, an extremely conscientious front desk employee. Because another Trip Advisor User had commented on problems with Room 14, we asked to see it. Happy to report that the room was fine (no smell and no mold). We look forward to returning.
Friendly and helpful staff
This smallish hotel really near to the Piazza Bra and the Arena has no-frills rooms and the usual facilities, but the staff were friendly and helpful, keen to offer advice and spoke excellent English. See if you can get the deal without breakfast as this adds 20 Euros to the price and is not really worth it!
Only One Flaw
This hotel is a great value. We spent four nights in June 2003. The location is perfect, the staff and management are friendly and helpful, breakfast is good, and the price is reasonable. Cleaniness could be better (the showers were full of mold). The only serious problem is in Room 14, which smells like sewage. My daughter's room next to our's had no sewage smell. The hotel owner insisted the smell was a floor cleaner, but the floor did not smell. Otherwise a great place, I would stay in this hotel again, but not in room 14.
Just about perfect
We stopped here overnight on our way to Lake Garda. I'd booked it based on the other web review, and the Rough Guide recommendation. It was nearly perfect. I would return, and, what's more telling, I would recommend it to my mother.It's right off the Piazza Bra, just steps from the Arena and the best people-watching cafes. The room was larger than I expected, with antique furniture and a large bathroom (shower only in our room). The beds were comfy, and we both had a good night's sleep (though there was some street noise -- narrow streets and Italians on motorbikes).It has a lift.It's central to everything, the owners are friendly and helpful and will give you a map marked up to show you the best places to see. A great value!
A gem in the heart of Verona!
My husband and I came across this delightful establishment by accident and since then have been returning on a regular basis for several years. The Torcolo is run by two delightful ladies who make your stay a delight- Signore Diana and Silvia. The hotel is comfortable with a quiet elegance. It is in a wonderful location, literally a few steps from the Arena, and close to all other attractions. Verona is a safe city, in which I love to wander, and is a short drive or train trip from other fascinating towns of the Veneto such as Vicenza, Padova and is a wonderful base to visit Venice from. The ladies and friendly staff at the Torcolo are always ready to advise and assist you. I had to think twice about writing this, in case our little 'find' became too popular- it certainly deserves to be.

Travel Blogs from Verona
Day 12
This morning we visited casa di capuleti or Juliet's house as we know it. This is where the movie letters to Juliet was filmed one of my favourite movies!! It also brought back many memories of when I played the leading role in the school play. We also visited her tomb and were closely followed by the security lady presumably to check we didn't write on the walls as so many people had done ...
Day 11
This is the last leg of our Italian adventure. Left Venice this morning by water taxi from our hotel to the train station. After a short train journey arrived in Verona. Our hotel is a beautifully converted palazzo very grand!!! Of course we had to explore the shops first although shock and horror there is no Prada!! Very strange when there has been several in every other city we have stayed. So we crossed the oldest roman bridge in Verona Ponte pietra ...
A city of balconies
... looks quite crumbly the interior is very strong and I would love to experience an opera there. The acoustics are amazing with some tourists practicing their singing voices. The most Liam would do is clap his hands and listen to the echo.
Walking through the streets there is an old roman feel to the city and almost every window has a balcony! Of course the most famous balcony at Juliet's house is ...
Help! I'm Being Bus-jacked!
... you would expect; the Roman amphitheater in the centre of the town; the usual shops selling lots of tourist stuff and then it started getting better. A ...
An Unexpected Gem
With a short mileage to
cover today, we would make the most of it and visit Verona. Our fist
stop was a Harley Davidson dealer on the outskirts of the town. It
was a pretty big dealership with plenty of Harley branded bits –
not just bikes but barbecues, chairs and all sorts of expensive stuff
for the enthusiast. It began to rain a bit as we rode away into the
city, which was busy but not manic. We managed to find a motorcycle
parking ...

Radiant Semi In ground Pool
Ingardenguy57January 19, 2014
Have posted this question a few months back with little response so will try once more.We are in So. Indiana.
Have been researching Radiant Pools. They are what I consider middle of the road pools. Not the cheap above ground pools, but yet not the high dollar in ground pool.And seems like would be a good fit for us.
If anyone here has a Radiant pool, would like to hear from you as to how you like it, along with any other info. you would like to share concerning your pool.
Thanks in advance for any feed back.

Business; Carded and Guarded
By CLAUDIA H. DEUTSCH
Published: March 10, 2002
Across corporate America, feelings of vulnerability have pretty much dissipated. Executives are traveling, and clerks are distributing mail, though the screening process often renders it beyond recognition. But many companies say they have not backpedaled to the lackadaisical days before the attacks. ''Every security restriction we put into place on Sept. 11 remains in place,'' said Susan Bishop, a spokeswoman for Textron.
Throughout the country, restrictions on visitors and mail and closer checks of employees' identification have become permanent. ''Nothing and no one is getting into buildings without being cleared or controlled,'' said Howard Safir, a former New York City police commissioner who is now a security consultant.
Preparedness is the watchword. Pitney Bowes, which keeps its warehouses in the Northeast, may scatter caches of postage meters and other equipment throughout the country -- and may insist that its suppliers do the same. ''Right now, if someone blew up the George Washington Bridge, we'd have an awful time distributing things,'' said Michael J. Critelli, its chief executive.
Many companies are training employees to deal with suspicious packages or substances. Others have moved mail rooms off premises. Quite a few are researching customers or suppliers. Truckers want the government to let them check new drivers against classified lists of suspected terrorists. ''I think we have a reasonable chance to succeed,'' said William D. Zollars, chairman of the Yellow Corporation, the big trucking company.
Company security directors now have bigger budgets and are invited to executive meetings. So are representatives of companies like EDS, which provides computer security products. ''We're dealing with people who are much higher on the corporate ladder,'' said Sean Healy, an EDS spokesman, ''because security has become an executive responsibility.''

Champro Mens DRI-GEAR Pro Plus Open Bottom Pants 15 15
Kids love them Got a few pairs for my boys to play and practice in. They said these are extremely comfortable and the best part is the Velcro hem. It allows the player to adjust the legs to suit their preference. The sale price was too good so I bought 6 additional pairs for my kids. October 22, 2014
Quality pants This pants fit my 13 year old well and the velcro adjusters make it easy to shorten or lengthen. Not having to sew them makes it possible to use them longer if he has a growth spurt. September 22, 2014
Best Price for practice wear Price is great for practice wear when most of the damage seems to occur. February 27, 2014
Good looks, fit, and value These pants fit as expected and are very comfortable. The legs are very long and the velcro adjusters are a little awkward until you get used to them. Putting your feet through the legs without pulling the velcro loose is tricky at first. The adjustability is nice, especially for tall players. February 11, 2014

Walmart today announced the launch of Get on the Shelf, the first contest of its kind from a major retailer. Beginning today, anyone can enter Get on the Shelf for the chance to get their product sold on Walmart.com and even in Walmart stores. Any product in any category currently covered by Walmart is eligible ranging from housewares and electronics to toys and apparel.
The nationwide contest is the latest announcement from @WalmartLabs and similar to the popular American Idol television show, contestants will create videos of their latest inventions and the public will vote online for the winners.
A two-round public voting process will determine the top three products to be sold on Walmart.com. The Grand Prize winner's product will be sold on Walmart.com and featured on the site's home page, and also get valuable shelf space in select Walmart stores across the country.*
"Walmart has the best products at everyday low prices but we know there are some great undiscovered products that have not yet reached our shelves,†said Venky Harinarayan, senior vice president of Walmart Global e-commerce and co-head of @WalmartLabs "For a long time, the ability to get a product into a retail store was at the sole discretion of the store buyer. Today, we are removing these barriers by giving anyone a chance to launch their product at Walmart and reach millions of shoppers nationwide.â€
