We spent most of the night in the main bar where there were dancers and some entertainer who held a competition that Luisa entered; she won a cocktail, which she couldn't drink, so Paula and I drank it. What a shame!

A total of 52 roadside inspectors from across North America will gather in Salt Lake City, Utah, to compete to be named the best commercial vehicle inspector during the 21st annual North American Inspectors Championship, Aug. 19-23.
The event is hosted by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance and is held in conjunction with the American Trucking Associations' National Truck Driving Championships.
Each year, CVSA recognizes the best of the best by inviting member jurisdictions throughout North America to participate in the North American Inspectors Championship. This year's contestant line-up includes six representatives from Canada and 46 from the United States.
"It's all about saving lives. By holding this competition annually, we strengthen the quality of inspections across North America. Contestants receive training on the latest safety information, technology, standards and inspection procedures while exchanging ideas, techniques and experiences with their peers from other jurisdictions," said Stephen A. Keppler, CVSA's executive director.
"In order to advance commercial vehicle safety, we need the involvement of all stakeholders to help us better understand the issues and put practical solutions in place. This event allows us to continually build on the success of the North American Standard Inspection Program and provides member jurisdictions with a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their own CMV safety programs," says Keppler.
NAIC inspectors compete for top honors in six event categories in pursuit of the Jimmy K. Ammons Grand Champion Award:
1. North American Standard Level I Inspection; 2. North American Standard Level I Inspection Procedure; 3. North American Standard HazMat/Transportation of Dangerous Goods Inspection; 4. North American Standard Cargo Tank/Other Bulk Packagings Inspection; 5. North American Standard Level V Passenger Vehicle (Motorcoach) Inspection; and, 6. North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria Exam.

Waukesha North fire was floor-construction related
School will remain closed until at least Aug. 19
Waukesha North High School remains closed and will be until at least Aug. 19 after a fire broke out in its fieldhouse Aug. 1.
Five days after the fire started in the northwest corner of the fieldhouse, City of Waukesha Fire Department Marshal Brian Charlesworth said the investigation revealed the cause was related to the floor replacement activities taking place on the evening of July 31.
North High School is in the final stages of installing a new wood floor to replace its 20-year-old synthetic rubber surface.
"After a thorough investigation, the fire may have been started by the inappropriate storage and disposal of oily rags, which may have ultimately spontaneously combusted," Charlesworth said.
The plan was for the school to initially be shut down as a precautionary measure just for the weekend, but Principal Jody Landish said on Sunday the school will stay closed so the restoration team can do a thorough cleaning of the building.
And while it was labeled a "small" fire, Charlesworth said the damage will exceed several hundred thousand dollars. He added that it may take some time for an official estimate to be determined due to the amount of smoke damage that occurred throughout the building.
Since Monday, all operations for North have been taking place at Butler Middle School, 310 N. Hine Ave., which is about a mile to the east of North High School.
North's administrative assistants are working out of Butler Middle School and any meetings with administration, coaches, guidance counselors and staff will also be conducted out of Butler Middle School until at least Aug. 19.
The fire began in the early morning on Aug. 1. The Waukesha Dispatch Center received a call at about 4:50 a.m. from staff at the Linden Grove Nursing Home, 2330 Michigan Ave., reporting seeing strobe lights activated at Waukesha North High School, 2222 Michigan Ave.
Four department units quickly extinguished the fire. But there was still a large volume of smoke in the gym, some of the classrooms and hallways in the hours after the fire, Battalion Chief Steve Ore said.
The fire damage, however, was limited to the area of an exit door, Ore said.
"Basically the fire occurred where there is steel and it made a mess, but there's no structural damage," Superintendent Todd Gray said. "And it's not a main access or exit door."
Overall, Gray said he didn't believe the fire was a major setback in the completion of the new wood floor, expected to be finished in the next couple of weeks.
"There wasn't a lot of physical damage on the floor area," Gray said. "It's minor damage and is easily replaced. That's the really nice thing about gym floors that are wood."

I usually don't post these kinds of things, but I stumbled upon this short little video while working on my prototype and it really moved me. Let's all have a productive 2015!
I usually don't post these kinds of things, but I stumbled upon this short little video while working on my prototype and it really moved me. Let's all have a productive 2015!
I've been working on another prototype, it's currently called "Omnivision". Not sure when it'll be finished but progress is being made. I've been in love with pixelation shaders as of late (no, they're not just shitty low resolution screens!) I guess this game really shines in motion, I will post a video for it some time in the future, but until then:
Since 2015 is right around the corner, I've decided to create a little list of unique games that I enjoyed very much this past year. Let's cut to the chase (links to the games are found in the titles):
This game is not what it seems. From a surface level, it looks like a visual novel with Phoenix Wright elements of crime solving thrown in. At first I was skeptical of the story, because, well, it reminded me of the Hunger Games. But man was I wrong. The game revolves around several high school students who are locked in a prison of sorts. The only way out of the prison is to kill another student without being caught. The headmaster of the prison, named Monokuma, a cute but absolutely deadly (and hilarious) stuffed bear constantly heckles the students as they deal with their messy situation. Instead of simply focusing on the shock value of killing others, the game rather focuses on despair, depression, and motivation. I was honestly very surprised with the themes it decided to focus on, but it ultimately made for a unique and fresh gaming experience.
(Note: Since I couldn't afford a PS Vita, I played an English patched version of the Japanese game on my PSP with custom firmware. The link in the title contains more info if you're interested.)
This game is insane, and there is literally nothing like it. It may look like a simple point-and-click adventure, but the kicker is that it's also a musical. Every piece of dialogue is sang by the developer Deirdra Kiai, and it makes for some heart warming and hilarious moments. The game also has a unique visual aesthetic, containing clay models for everything found in the game. The game deals with gender, politics, and whole host of other things.
This game is very special. Not only is it a puzzle game with intricate level design, but it also has a very deep and rich story that treats the player like an adult. No answers are given, but everything that's needed to piece the story and puzzles together are given to you. I honestly haven't felt so exhilarated playing a game since Braid, which is my favorite game of all-time. I can't recommend this game enough, and I will probably write up a separate post solely dedicated to it. It's a first person puzzle game with a science fiction inspired world, and deals with humanity, artificial intelligence, and consciousness. Seriously check this one out, it's probably my favorite game of the year.
Leave it to Adult Swim to publish a game that is creative, funny, and makes you laugh like a goddamn child. Jazzpunk, simply put, is a linear first person adventure game. It is filled with jokes, and it felt like the whole game was designed to make me smile. Hell, even Hunter S. Thompson makes a cameo!
If you're a fan of Behemoth games, or Castle Crashers in particular, then this game is just for you. Battleblock Theater is a platforming puzzler with a heavy emphasis on co-op. Although the game can be completed solo, I highly recommend playing it with a pal. The game's story is also voiced by the one and only Will Stamper, adding hilarity and a sense of originality to an otherwise great and fun little platformer.
Alien: Isolation is a pure homage to the original Alien. A first person horror game that isn't afraid to copy from it's predecessors, while still retaining a sense of originality. The game's visual design is stunning, with an 80s inspired vision of the future that definitely makes the game stand out. If you're a fan of the original Alien (I like to pretend the other Alien movies don't exist), then you simply need to play this at some point, you're in for a treat.
This little indie game is the best to play with friends. It is a balanced and accessible platformer where you shoot arrows at your friends. The game is simple to pick up, but requires some strategy and a quick set of thumbs to be very good at it. If you have some gamepads lying around and a few bored friends, then look no further. This game has great replay value, with a great retro visual aesthetic and unique gameplay elements that will make you wanting more.
There are definitely more games that came out this year that I wasn't able to play, and I hope to play them in the near future. I wish everyone a happy new years!
So I attended the Asylum Jam earlier this year. I went at it solo and made a really buggy prototype.
Here's a little summary of the game jam:
"Asylum Jam 2014 is a game jam that lasts for 48 hours where the only rule is to not use asylums, psychiatric institutes, medical professionals or violent/antipathic/'insane' patients as settings or triggers."
Here's the GameJolt page.
And here's the source code on my GItHub.
At the end of last summer, I was completely stumped on the game I was working on: The Museum. I decided to just give up on the game, or at least put it aside until I figured out some issues. After that summer I kept thinking about the game in my head, over and over. Then, when this summer arrived, I figured out a lot of the design issues and made even more progress on the game. But, time is a cruel mistress and history loves to repeat itself. As I'm on the last day of my summer, nearing the first day of University classes, I feel the same hopelessness and dread as I did last year; I'm completely and utterly stumped on the game.
Who knows, maybe a year from now I'll figure out the design problems I've been having as I did last year, but it's looking grim. Thankfully, I've been feeling this hopelessness a bit earlier, a month ago to be exact. On that day of dread and despair, I realized that I have one month left before my classes start back up. I could have done two things: A) Realize that this is the last "summer break" I'll ever have in my life and just relax and enjoy it before I join the cesspool of death that is the job market or B) Prepare myself for the job I want to pursue by practicing some C++ with OpenGL. Well, good news. I didn't do either.
I instead just started to work on another game! (Commence onslaught of eye rolls) Except this time, I really focused on the missteps I took with The Museum. With every death of a game prototype, I learn a tremendous amount. I scour the grave of the prototype, trying to finding hints of why it went so horribly wrong. After some analyzing, I find some clues about why it died; simply bad (not fun or challenging) core game mechanic, lack of scalability, lack of art, no creative ideas found within the game's systems. So, for this new game I decided to work in a preexisting genre; 2d grid-based puzzling. I then realized that, hey, I'm not an artist and shouldn't waste my time on it. So after I completed a short prototype of the game showcasing the puzzles and ideas, I posted it on /r/gamedev and /r/INAT (I need a team) and lo and behold, I got a few responses! To be honest, I was utterly shocked. Who the hell would want to create art for a game made by me? Especially for free? (Also, the game is set to be a free release once it's finished)
But real talk, the artist that I'm working with, Sara, is seriously talented. Just look at some of the stuff she's made: https://imgur.com/a/Ek4NI
But alas, the artists I've been talking to share the same enthusiasm and passion for the game as I do. And with that, I spent my remaining summer crunching on the game and designing the puzzles. It's also a short game, containing 5 levels of puzzles with each level taking approximately 25 minutes to beat. I currently have 2 levels completed, and am working on the remaining 3. Here are some screenshots:
Unfortunately as a result of my last year of University classes starting back up on Monday, I won't have as much time to work on the game. I'll still try to squeeze in some game dev on the weekends, or If I have any down time during the week. But for now, I'm going to focus on honing my C++ skills and learn to use the OpenSceneGraph library. Thankfully, I have an opportunity to do research this semester on virtual reality, which entails me using C++ and OpenSceneGraph to make cool stuff. Until next time.
University classes start back up on Monday, working on my shitty game, and am a bit stressed about the future.

"One of my favorite business books"
couldn't comment on that
This is one of my favorite sales/business books because there are so many non business examples that feel more "real worldish" involved. Jon does a great job of bringing us in to the board room with Steve Jobs or sitting opposite the Olympic Committee.
"Best google book"
How to hire, how to run meetings and how to manage smart creatives. Best business book in a while.

Poor Economist. You are wrong again as far as India is concerned. Snap out of it. The colonial days are long over. Potential of India; you have not seen anything yet. Hold on to your hat.

Yes, and it helps also if many Indian posters would visit forums of articles on India like this one more often, instead of flocking to that on China and engaging some rather "organized" attack and vicious bashing on things Chinese, beyond the true virtue of free speech.
I believe it incites reaction from some Chinese posters unnecessarily, and giving India a bad name more than it deserves.
I am getting a bit tired about all this constant carping about the cost overruns, dirty accommodations, blocked toilets etc. So let's focus on the costs to get a bit of perspective. The games seemed to have cost anywhere between $6-9 billion. While this is no small number let's look at some of the things that Delhi has gotten out of this...... a brand new airport, & an upgraded metro both of which are world class. This is in addition to all the improvement in infrastructure like roads, bridges and all the athletic stadia. Beijing Olympics ....... $45 billion. The state of New Jersey just cancelled a rail tunnel between New York city and New Jersey ...... estimated cost $ 12 billion. I am sure the Indian brigade will love how the numbers look but the reality is that the cost is not that much on a relative comparison. London Olympics ..... Don't even get me started. On the other hand the frank and candid discussions of the shortfalls in the Indian media will do a world of good to the state of public discussion and debate in that country
The Common Wealth as an association is irrelevant, so I am surprised that India decided to waste money in hosting the games associated with the namesake. It turned into a demonstration of the fine arts of corruption and inefficiency. The question remains, should a country like India spend USD3 or 6 or 10 bn into a city that is already well developed compared to the rest of the country. Will the venues be maintained after the games are over?
Very dissapointing article...an opening ceremony conducted well seems to have dissapointed the wrtiter as well as the majority of readers of Economist.
India's time has come..no amount of bickering is going to stop us from doing well.
Look at the medal tally! 15 years back I used to follow every event and cry at the end cause we couldnt get even one medal. Today till day 6, we are leading the medal tally ahead of England, Canada etc...
We have many problems to address, but by resolving every problem we will release additional value which will give us that bit more economic advantage agaisnt competing countries...and we will keep growing...
God Bless..
Oh would the Western media PLEASE stop with the constant nitpicking?
It's one thing to genuinely and constructively criticise an event of this size and offer your insightful suggestions but another to constantly hunt like a hound dog for excuses to pronounce the Games a failure.
While India might not have been the perfect hosts and there have been minor glitches here and there, India sure has been the most GRACIOUS and GENEROUS host. I am not sure I can say the same about guest athletes from certain countries. It's not in BBC's nature to make this a part of prime time CWG news but - Roland Schoeman from SA openly abused a fan in the swimming arena for excessive hooting, a British team official told the Indian archery coach to 'f*** off' when the latter put his hand out for a shake, a New Zealand prime time reporter repeatedly made derogatory remarks about the Delhi Chief Minister.
Reporters in Britain, New Zealand, Australia have been shockingly insensitive and negative in their reporting of the CWG from the word go. They have gleefully reported the various 'mishaps' and 'glitches' but have not bothered to correct themselves or put out follow-up reports about the same. 'Delhi Belly' has become a new synonym for disaster among these dailies. Perhaps the reporters would do better to inquire as to what it really means. The term is used to indicate a bad stomach caused by consumption of spicy food, the kind that westerners are unaccustomed to. Perhaps the athletes should have opted to play it safe and stick to their bland fish and chips and not experimented too much. News items continue to blame the 'unsafe' swimming pools despite safety clearances granted when inquiries were conducted. Has anybody bothered to ask why Asian and African athletes have not shown these symptoms? It is almost funny how BBC has yet to get over the 'collapsed bridge' syndrome. Are you telling me there has never been any such mishap in any of your countries before an important event? And just for the record, 27 people were injured and not killed.
As for the poverty rider in any 'positive' story regarding the Games, I have only this much to say – The West may have developed a sudden affliction for slum dwellers post-Slumdog Millionaire, but the omnipresent slums are not a (desired) way of life for citizens of Delhi. If in an effort to 'beautify' the city before the Games, the government has cleared up vast slums and other illegally inhabited areas and relocated its people, I don't see the cause for complaint. Beggars ousted from the city are another pet cause of foreign journalists. The same tourists who earlier complained of the beggar menace on Delhi roads now questioning the government's move to tackle the same. If at all, in run up to the games, any injustice has been caused to a section of the society, I can assure all those mighty concerned people, that the Indian courts are perfectly capable of remedying that. (I cannot say the same for similarly situated people in China before the Olympics, whose cause the Western journalists didn't dare take up to a great degree)
I have personally attended some CWG and have been glued to the TV for the rest, and for the most part, things have been moving smoothly. On TV, I have always noticed a considerable crowd gathered for the events. Of course, many reporters have tended to put up pictures of the most vacant portion of the 60,000 capacity JLN stadium to make out a case for lukewarm response of Indians to the games.
I wish the journalists covering these games would learn to appreciate – the efforts of the government, the officials, volunteers and the sentiments of the citizens. No doubt, report about alleged corruption and delays where you have to, but please give credit where it is due and don't over hype your misgivings to the extent that balanced and impartial reporting becomes a farce. I have not seen a single report on the heaps of praises showered by the athletes on the facilities and recreation in the Games Village. The atmosphere there is festive – with daily cultural events, traditional crafts on display, a disc, a bar and much more. BBC and others are still hung upon those infamous pictures of dirty toilets released over a month ago. Talk about obsessive. All we ever hear about the Village on your website is the number of cobras supposedly spotted.
The Games have done a lot for India and the developing countries as a whole. It may not have all been perfect, but let us stop acting like it has been a disaster when that is clearly not the case. It's better to enrich oneself with the new experiences that the country has to offer rather than cry hoarse about what was seemingly absent and missing.
"India may have avoided humiliation but it has not provided a convincing answer to that question."
Sure it has. The answer is "no".
Yes India has got priorities right. The effect of these games would be similar to the effect on USA by what is known as the greatest game ever played in 1913. Coincidence is that it is almost a century and we try to assign nations to centuries.
Absolutely right BrainWarrior!
There is absolutely nothing for us Indians to introspect about! Because we are the champions!
"Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception."
-George Orwell
It's a shame for India that we have spent Rs 70000 Crores in this when millions of its population is unable to get 1 square meals. It shows government's insensitiveness to its poor.
Even if the government decides to hold the games spending so much money, it should have ensured that they are spent without corruption.
The games made the world to know India's hypocrisy and thereby India became the world's laughing stock. The government has caused more damage to the country by organizing the games.
The government should never spent its valuable resources on such extravagance. There are millions of poor in villages who don't even know such games are being held. They don't matter to the rich and the politicians because they are illiterates & can be easily fooled.
The whole world should condemn India. Only then we would get our lost sense.
We must remember how M K Gandhi went to meet UK Prime Minister half naked. He wanted the world's attention on India's poor.
Our government got to be sensitive to the amm admi (Common man).
What's the use of the games. See the stadiums are empty. Even in India's capital (meaning the cream of the population) is not interested in the games. Had they been interested they would have come out to watch. It's a huge huge waste.
I think that the Commonwealth Games are a big hit, at least for me. If the poor and the disadvantaged among the society of India, view the games in numbers, then Olympic sports is the 'next only big thing', in Indian sports. How much of investment does it take for a person to start running, or walking, or even try cycling? India is a nation of over one billion people. It was not very long ago at Los Angeles 1984, that P T Usha missed the bronze medal at the Olympic Games by a whisker. She must have had a sterling coach, but what else before her Olympic quest? She went on to become a legend in the next Asian Games, bagging, I believe, multiple gold medals. She I believe came from a background, which was not affluent. India has the best shooting contingent, perhaps in the world. India even won bronze medals in gymnastics, at the current Commonwealth Games. What stands out, is the emergence of wrestling as a meaningful Olympic sport for India. I found the Indian athletes had done us proud, even if the competition was not at the highest level.
India's rulers can do nothing for its vast famished and ragged and sick majority - without clean water, toilets or healthcare and with children stunted by semi-starvation.
India has a Muslim population that is growing very fast and will be 300 million in just 20 years. It will get modern arms soon.
India has astoundingly weak, oceanically corrupt governments, unable to stop a few thousand Maoist thugs controlling vast areas of India's interior.
India's rulers steal public money by the billions of dollars, as in this Commonwealth Games criminal bonanza.
India will not exist in 20 years. It will have been divided up by Maoists, Islamists, Chinese and Pakistanis.
It all a case of relativities. From an Indian perspective an awesome feat has been achieved in staging the Games and it is a wonder that things have progressed relatively smoothly. From an Australian perspective it's somewhat of a shambles compared to Melb '06 or Sydney 2000. Vive la différence!
I am glad to see that Pakistanis have not come here and written negative comments. Most of the people here finding elusive reasons to praise India are doing their best to criticse Pakistan and asking America that time is to act NOW against Pakistan http://www.economist.com/node/17202331/comments#comment-685626
Its good to be patriotic. Good luck to our neighbours for closing their eyes even though there is a genuine reason to criticise India because Indian government has made a joke of hosting an event that should have been normal thing for such a 'great' power!
India should now host the Olympics!!!
"BrainWarrior wrote: Oct 7th 2010 4:45 GMT .Notwithstanding concerns over the relevance of the "Commonwealth" Games per se, it indeed is amazing that the Indians pulled off such an amazing show in the face of all odds (mostly created by their own politicians of the ruling Congress party).
The opening ceremony was the best I recall seeing in recent past, way better than Beijing's 2008 olympian show (which itself was fine enough).
The fact that the number of spectators are not very high in many of the newly-built world-class stadia could be attributed to several factors: athletics and sports often takes a backseat for many Indians busy participating in the ongoing economic growth, the C'wealth Games are not seen as a big league event comparable to say the Olympics (USA, Japan, Russia, China, etc are not part of it), and excelling in sports does not receive the sort of government push that is seen in dictatorial/authoritarian regimes (where the leaders see sports as a proxy war and take defeats rather personally!).
Yet, given the sheer scale of the Games, the run-up to it and the opening ceremony have some useful lessons: India has the potential, but it deserves a much better political leadership."
I also watched the CWG opening ceremony and nowhere was it near as spectacular as Beijing 2008. The typical (and intellectually bankrupt) Indian excuse is to say how much better China is in x, y, or z because China is "dictatorial/authoritarian". Well Jamaica is non-dictactorial, poorer than India, has a population of 2.7 million people, and it won 6 golds in Beijing compared to India's ONE gold. How do you account for that with your tenuous reasoning? Kenya also won 6 golds. Ethiopia won 4. Hungary and Poland won 3. Mongolia and Thailand won 2. Dominican Republic, Estonia, and Latvia all won 1 gold but more overall medals than India. All these countries are NOT the alleged 'next' superduperpower of the world. /snicker
Let's face it, brainwarrior, you guys have absolutely no excuses for your consistently poor showings at the Olympics when other less populous, poorer, and non-dictatorial countries outshine you time and time again. It's time to change the ubiquitous Indian mentality of self-aggrandization and chronic excuse-making and realize where your country is truly at.
why is it that the biggest complainers are the Aussies?
Then they are rude and arrogant in competition and complain again when they are disqualified.
I disagree that the Commonwealth Games "are not seen as a big league event comparable to say the Olympics". The only games that are bigger than the Commonwealth Games are the Olympics - the Commonwealth Games are second only to the Olympics, and should not be disparaged.
In fact for many smaller Commonwealth countries the CG are more important than the Olympics. Russia, China and the USA dominate the Olympics. None of these giants are at the Commonwealth Games. So the CG gives smaller countries a chance to score medals, even gold.
Delhi 2010 was India's chance to showcase itself as a modern, vibrant and confident country. But rather than scoring kudos, as China did with the last Olympics, India has showcased its corruption, inefficiency, and low building and hygiene standards. India has allowed itself to suffer national humiliation. Attacking the international Commonwealth Games federation simply exacerbates the problem. India must accept responsibility for its own glaringly obvious failings.
I don't normally subscribe to the Economist's take on Asia, but in this case, I admit that it has been spot on.
Corruption has been fine-tuned to an art form in India. Kalmadi may be the most obvious of the accused, but everyone knows that the money trickles right to the top. Without the blessings of Sonia Gandhi, do you think the costs could have been escalated to such a level? Who are we fooling?
India is a great country, but is led by a petty leadership that is hell-bent on scoring brownie points on political issues rather than good governance.
We'll probably never know the true cost of the Games. We'll never know how much of the money went into the pockets of Kalmadi and his cronies. If Azim Premji's estimate is anywhere near the real figure, the Games haven't been worth it. The government's corruption and purposeful neglect of the poor have brought on the burgeoning and violent Maoist movement: this bit of extravagance will only fan the flames.

Overstock site no longer mailing to Canada?
I hope this is the right forum for this money-saving question, but the prices there are exceptional!
A few years ago, 2003, I believe, they shipped internationally....does anyone know why they no longer do that?
I was SO disappointed when I saw that just now....
Thanks for any info you may have.....Lynn
Why not send them an email? If you want to order something, let me know . I'll get it and mail it to you. I have a Mailboxes store nearby and they will let me send packages to Canada. The exchange rate between US and Canada are exactly the same, at par. Let me know if I cam help you out.
My goodness, aren't you precious?!!!
They don't exactly have an email address that I could find, just one of those FAQ pages...but I'll look again.
And thank you SO MUCH for your offer!!
Our DD's fiance's parents will be spending the winter in Florida, and they said I could use their address for anything I wanted to purchase.
I hope they have room in their van on the way home for some of the things I'd want! LOL!
On the other hand, my DH and I will be in Detroit for the Lions/Packers game on your Thanksgiving, and OMG...we'll be shopping on your Black Friday!! How's THAT for a great birthday present from him this year?! ;-D Now I hope WE have room in our van for the things I want to purchase! hah!
Take care Jannie, and again...thanks for your very kind offer!! """"HUGS>>>>
Below is a link for contacting them.
Here is a link that might be useful: Contact overstock.com
Hi Glitter. I don't know if you have an XS Cargo store near you but they carry a lot of the same things as Overstock in the US and guess what. I just checked a couple of items on Overstock (Cuisinart Grind'n Brew coffee maker) and the Hoover Floor Mate floor washer/vac and they're cheaper in Canada at XS Cargo than Overstock.com
BTW much of Overstock items are refurbished just like the stuff at XS Cargo in Canada
I paid $37 for the Grind & Brew at XS CArgo and it's $42 US on Overstock
Here is a link that might be useful: XS Cargo for Canadians
Thank you, PKGUY...really appreciate your response.
Yes, we have an XS Cargo here, but unfortunately, I'm interested in more girly stuff....jewellry, purses, etc...Wish XSCargo considered those items as "cargo"! ;-D
As for bargains there, I got my MP3 player there before I 'upgraded'.....and some kitchen 'stuff' for our son's apartment....it's a great place to scope out now and then!
Thanks again PKGuy!

This year's London Art Fair, which closed 20 January, was the last for the south-east London gallerist Poppy Sebire, who is shutting up shop. Sebire began dealing under her own steam only four years ago and says that while the experience has been "fabulous", she is now in discussions about a new role elsewhere.
She is helping to find alternative representation for the gallery's nine artists, including Georgie Hopton, whose solo project Sebire showed at the London Art Fair. Taking over her Copperfield Street space, around the corner from Tate Modern and the Jerwood Space, is Ceri Hand, the Liverpool dealer who moved to London last July. Her opening show will be of work by the two-artist group Juneau Projects (22 February-23 March).

Mall than meets the eye, Part II
Dubai boasts tens of glitzy malls, including the largest one in the region. But what are the essentials of a successful shopping center? Part II.
February 15, 2009 8:34 by Rania Habib
Retailing off. What of Dubai's other malls, whose time in the spotlight has come to an end with the coming of The Dubai Mall? "What will happen is that Mall of the Emirates will become more of a mainstream mall, and The Dubai Mall more of a luxury mall. And you'll find in a market that malls will polarize to serve specific communities," says Ibrahim. "Mall of the Emirates is really good, but architecturally it's really naïve. That was a space where they could have built anything, but instead they built an alien-looking stainless steel ski slope; it's really awful. But it works really well commercially, it's fantastically planned and really intuitive, but unfortunately it's just another American shopping mall, and that's not what we should be building anywhere in the world, really."
"One of the biggest failures in shopping malls is the development of Burjuman, how they've created the new bit and left the old bit the same," continues Ibrahim. "I think that's bizarre, they should have blended the two. It doesn't work from a retailer perspective, because no retailer wants to be in the old bit."
Ibrahim prophesies that, "The days of the closed off, sealed shopping mall are numbered. I think there will be a move towards much more connectivity to other uses, where shopping malls will be part of more of a mixed-use community, with connectivity to housing, leisure, and exhibitions, and certainly there's going to be a convergence with shopping and events and entertainment. In principle, the way malls will be conceived will not be with shopping as the starting point. The starting point will be the experience."
