Bayern on brink in Uefa Cup
Wednesday 11 September 1996
The Germans, who beat Bordeaux to win the trophy in May, were caught in an unexpected backlash to Valencia's current troubles. They have made a poor start to their domestic season and their preparations for the game were disrupted by a row that followed the decision by their coach, Luis Aragones, to drop the Brazilian striker Romario.
It looked like being more of the same for the local supporters when Scholl, Klinsmann and Rizzitelli all had chances to put Bayern in command in the first quarter of an hour, but a dubious penalty in the 19th minute, converted by Vicente Engonga, triggered a spectacular Valencia revival.
Six minutes later the Argentine striker Claudio Lopez made it 2-0 from a cross by the Russian midfielder Valery Karpin. Gabriel Moya headed home the third from another Karpin cross just after half-time with the Germans in disarray.
On a soggy Spanish night, Bayern's misery was completed by the dismissal of Alexander Zickler in the closing minutes.
In the Nationwide First Division, Barnsley maintained their 100 per cent record with an impressive 3-0 victory over Stoke City, who had begun the night two places behind them in third. Steve Davis, Neil Thompson - from 30 yards - and Andy Liddell scored the goals.

A Lawrenceburg man was arrested last Tuesday after police officers found a missing teenage girl in the trunk of his car.
Cameron K. Robinson, 19, of Lawrenceburg was charged with custodial interference, endangering the welfare of a minor, first-degree wanton endangerment and operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs, according to a news release from the Lawrenceburg Police Department.
Officers were called to the Butler Drive area of Lawrenceburg around 2 a.m. Tuesday following a report of a missing 14-year-old girl.
Robinson was determined to be a suspect in the girl's disappearance and officers spotted him on Ashley Way around 3:30 a.m.
Robinson initially denied knowing the girl's location, but later told officers that she was in the trunk of his vehicle, according to the news release.
Officers said they detected the odor of marijuana while speaking with Robinson, which led to the drug charge.

Frida - New high end Mexican
- 20 Comments
- Follow
They're trying really hard. From the moment you walk through the door, you are welcomed enthusiastically to this mid sized, nicely renoed space (formerly occupied by Boujadi) on Eglinton.
My experience is based around two dishes only. The guacamole was delicious, served with house-made tortilla chips, with some arugula tossed in a pepper oil on the side. Good combination, and a nice heat in the guac. (11$ for the large, 8$ for the small).
The quail with mole were also delicious, served with rice, toasted sesame seeds, and a side of different seasonal veg on a separate plate. The quail were mostly deboned and perfectly cooked. The veg could have used some seasoning to bring them out a bit more. Spinach, yellow carrots, green beans and small yellow beets were perfectly cooked, they just seemed to not marry into the mole. I'm guessing Cookstown, so clearly an effort to do the local organic thing. Cocktails looked great, wine markup might be a little north of 100% on a small well-chosen list. (28$ for the large, with 2 quail)
Overall impression, the food is laboriously faithful to the culture in terms of the basics, and they're trying hard on service and presentation. I think the price points reflect the choice of ingredients, and might be a bit of a departure from the culture. The arugula worked with the guac; I'm not sure the local veg worked with the quail. Two dishes don't define a restaurant though. Nicely executed. Similar price points to Milagro, slightly more formal, and more intimate. I'd go back.
re: sake
While not made table side, I'm certain that it's made immediately prior to serving.
"the food is laboriously faithful to the culture..." I'd say faithful to Rick Bayless after a quick once-over of the menu. They'll need more than passable guacamole and Bayless-style dishes to stay afloat. With respect, this doesn't look promising.
re: Kagemusha
Two years later Milagro is still thriving.
re: Snarf
For the life of me, can't figure out why! This place is so not good.....a few things were, but not much. Overpriced margeritas, not that good either. And the place on the corner of Bloor and? I think Shaw? UGH!
I was appalled at the food. El Paso at home is much better. The fried rice was cold, dry refied beans, . It was yukky from begining to end and the woman who owned it was not helpful in recommending anything unique or authentic. I don't get the rave reviews?Sadly, no there isn't much to offer in Toronto in the true Mexico food, but then....we aren't Texas or California or New Mexico with that ample heritage from south of their borders.
Having said all that, I am curious about Frida's. It sounds hopeful. In ther meantime..Frito Lays will have to do!
re: Kagemusha
I'm not sure what you mean by less Bayless-style dishes - I love Rick Bayless's recipes.
re: SusanB
Right, but this place seems doomed to fall between the stools of Bayless "interpretive" Mexican and "Mom&Pop" Mexican. Frankly, the pricing seems steep for what's on offer. I'll probably try it but won't till I get back from Phoenix early next month after some serious eating. For me, TO has yet to establish a firm base of stable, reasonably authentic Mexican joints; without that, a place like Frida, like its clientele, has no reference point.
re: Kagemusha
Bayless style dishes executed at Bayless level...we should be so lucky! Milagro doesn't come close.
Definitely on a list of places to try soon.

I appreciate the post as we all know that great Mexican is hard to find in this city. Plus I never made it to Boujadi before its demise - despite it being on my list for about 2 years! -so perhaps I can get a second chance in this incarnation.
On the other end of the price spectrum, and what I can only assume is a much more "down home" kind of place, I can't say enough great things about El Jacal (El Jacalito) at Bloor and Dufferin. A friend from Mexico recommended it and we've now been 3 or 4 times. This is the kind of casual "hole in the wall-ish" spot where you kick back with a couple of beers, watch a football (soccer) game while enjoying some truly delicious food and warm family hospitality. Their nachos and guacamole are perfectly fresh and flavourful. You can get 3 different tacos for about $10. Their green and red sauces add a real hit of flavour. Dinner for 2 will maybe set you back $50. I don't know why this place isn't more known or praised on this board.
re: peppermint pate
I haven't been to the Bloor St location of El Jacalito, but often went to the original location on Milvan Drive, near Finch and Weston Rd. It's been mentioned on the board, but there are many good restaurants in Toronto that are rarely mentioned here.
re: foodyDudey
True - it's just that there are so often threads that lament the sad state of Mexican food in Toronto and I haven't seen El Jacal mentioned that often. It's also one of those places I like to champion because, apart from being really good, I selfishly want to make sure it has enough customers to stay in business!
Been twice, once just a date,once with another couple. Great service - they were jammes the first night we showed (without a reservation). They have a a table and a time limit, and we agreed.
Decor: Not sombrero or Mexican flag in site. Dark tile walls; small (wait - let's say intimate).
I asked the server whether they made a Michelada - she sai if the bartender didn't, she'd make me one. Agreed it the best drink ever om the beach.
We stuck with appetizers.
Guac -excellent - chile oil drizzle over, not mixed in. Nice modern presentation. Interactive spicing - like it.
Tortilla soup - awesome comfort food.
Shredded flank steak - really speacial - beautifully handled pulled steak from favorite cut (with good beef flavor, and smoky spice on back end.Duck tostodas - lovely - eat before beef - preferably with something lse in between.
Queso Fundido - tasty, gooey, hot with the strips of pepper.I hate live music, but their combo (acoustice guitar and french horn -awsome,
Go if you like Mexican. Marg's to tart,however. Needs sugar.

Transportation: Getting busses from anywhere on lower campus is really easy and the shuttles (though they can be annoying to wait for) go everywhere an on-campus student would really need them to go. Wouldn't recommend bringing a car, as parking is rough and buses can get you pretty much anywhere.
Athletics: Pretty Good – Its really fun how intense the fans are and the teams are pretty good, but the weather here (crazy hot or super cold) makes outdoor sports a bit daunting to sit through if you're not really devoted. Getting basketball tickets is also really difficult, but as a whole, the athletic atmosphere is really energetic and fun.
Weather: Mix of Sun and Clouds – The sun shines most days until about mid-November, then becomes a rare sight during the winter months. The constant gray winter skies can be an adjustment if you're use to a sunnier climate. But, all of that is made up during the spring months with a lot more regular sunshine and warmer weather.
Overall Experience: Be a Part of the Pride: Be a Panther – A lot of people love the atmosphere with the big sports teams, the party life, and academics. Beyond that you even have a vareity of things you can do recreationally that are close to campus. Me personally, it's just not my thing. It's city life at a smaller scale, it's cold most of the school year, and I'm not as much of a party goer, but I do think that the professors here are none par the best and you'd be hard pressed to find a better education for you money whlie additionally being able to enjoy the social atmosphere of the university.
Scholarships: Pitt rarely gives out scholarships, unless you're the class Valedictorian and have a ridiculous GPA and come from a prestegious private school. My best friend in high school applied here and only got 2,000 dollars. I know very few people here that have scholarships at all. The only money that Pitt offered to me was financial aid, which they can be very generous with. I got a good amount of aid for my freshman year.
Administration: The residence halls are not very strict compared to schools nearby, such as Duquesne. I live in Holland and I don't like it, but you can have boys in the dorms as long as you sign them in which can be a hassle because it tends to take a long time. The RA's are generally okay, I have heard that my RA has yelled at several people on my floor for noise violations, but I haven't had an issue. It really depends on who your RA is. Also, I've heard stories of things that happened at Towers and it seems that you can get away with a lot more there than in other dorms like Holland which is definitely not as fun.
Technology: Pitt's internet system is generally reliable, however you have to constantly enter in your password each time you want to get onto the internet. The internet set-up can be confusing at first, but the computer technicians are very helpful and there is 24 hour help.
Guys & Girls: I Love It – I love everyone here! There are your typical assh---s, but most of the people here are great.
Off-Campus Dining: There Are Tons of Places. There are tons of places to eat around campus, and the ones in central Oakland normally will accept your panther funds!
Diversity: It's average. Groups tend to segregate themselves and are sometimes unfriendly, although generally not cruel.
Technology: theres enough, although the main labs can get pretty backed up around peak times during the semester. You might have to look into smaller labs, which are sometimes full too.
Administration: Punishments Are Not Too Severe – Fortunately the school understands the fact that in college, peoples of age interact with peoples not and will put the survival of a student going to the hospital over fining them for underage drinking. However if any alcohol is found in dorms an instant $500 fine is distributed amongst the roommates and then PITT police follow up.
Campus Housing: Towers a/B a Must Freshman Year – Despite the fact that your room is a box and then you must share this box with another it is the best experience of college. 38 other College Freshman on your floor, food court in your basement, and for engineers a 2 second walk from any classes on campus.
Campus Quality: Catherdral of Learning – Easily the most defining building on the PITT campus but it is full of an almost Hogwartesk aurora. The building itself is simply gorgeous as it stands 36 floors tall and offers the best view in Pittsburgh, aside from Mt.Washington. One of the best locations to study, Cathy (most refer to the building with this endearing title) also has the best dining facility accompanied by a computer lab in its very own basement. Overall Cathy is PITT and PITT is Cathy.
Campus Quality: Drug Use – While Pittsburgh is often referred to as a Drinking City with a football problem there is a significant drug scene in Oakland. On campus one may find alcohol and marijuana to be pretty common. At Frats on the Hill by PA and Panther Hall cocaine is used often. Use of "hard" drugs at the frats is very hush hush but the two frats i have been in (SAE & DTD) have collectively spent more than 3 grand a month on average on cocaine. LSD and shrooms are also pretty common in the honors college on forbs. Finally most successful students use Adderal (amphetamine salts basically METH). It costs around 6$ for a 20 mg orange pill.
Health & Safety: Crime Is Pretty Common – There have been more than a few gang rapes/ home invasions by black minorities in south Oakland. Avoid living past the Blvd. of the Allies in south oakland if you can because that is were most of the more serious/violent crime occurs.
Parking: If you park regularly in Oakland you will have damage to your car.
Campus Food: Renovated Market Central – Excellent food. Try the stir Fry "360" grill at Market central for the best food. Way better than any food i've had in Ohio
Overall Experience: It's Great! I love Pitt. I truly do. Even though to weather can suck sometimes (the snow storm last year caused classes to be cancelled for 3 days which never happens!) its still a beautiful city and a great academic institution. I feel like I've learned so much here, you obviously can't get through without studying, its hard. However, you don't need to devote all your time to studying, you can still have plenty of fun!
Party Scene: If You Want to Drink, You Can – There are plenty of bars if you are 21, and if you are under 21 there are plenty of house parties or frat parties to go to that are equally as fun. However, its far fetched to find something going on unless it is Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Sometimes even Thursdays can turn into homework nights here.
Academics: Rehabilitation Science – This is a GREAT major at Pitt! Its a unique major, with smaller class sizes and very individualize attention. There are so many opportunities to network with graduate school faculty and professors. They even set you up with a faculty mentor in the graduate program of your choice to help you make the most of your undergraduate education here! They push for you to do a field experience, where you can learn SO much.
Weather: Gloomy With a Chance of Sun! The weather in Oakland is pretty gloomy during most months of the school year- make sure you check the weather every morning in case of the need of rainboots and an umbrella. The snowy months get pretty chilly as well. Classes get cancelled every once in a while! However, in fall and spring months the weather is beautiful, totally worth the wait.
Greek Life: Not Greek...But It's Okay – Greek life on campus is pretty over the top, it's really everywhere you look. Frats are the big party places for freshmen on weekends, and sororities and frats are always having huge mixers and fund raisers.
Local Area: Look for It – At Pitt, there are alot of options as far as attractions. You really need to go off campus and out of Oakland to look for them though. We have so many museums like the Warhol Museum, the Natural History Museum, and the Heinz Museum. There's great food places downtown that encompass alot of different cultures and cuisines as well. Students are always helped with directions, so don't be afraid to venture out!
Drug Safety: Very Controlled – Pitt has very strict rules about on campus alcohol and drug-use. If caught underage drinking or using recreational drugs, you will have to go to a hearing with the school and the legal jurisdiction.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Overall, students agree that they wouldn't trade their Pitt experience for anything. As with most decisions, there are a lot of things to consider. If you don't like living in a city environment, Pittsburgh may not be the place for you. While it doesn't have the feel of New York of Philadelphia, the area is definitely urban. Also, Pitt is a large school—you're in for some big lecture classes and a somewhat overwhelming campus during the first year or so. Everything will seem to get smaller after you've been around awhile, though. Weather can be a concern if you're used to a warmer climate—snow, rain, and wind rule Pittsburgh winters. This is something that you can easily get used to though, unless you're a diehard warm weather fan.
What Pitt does offer is high-caliber academics, plenty of student organizations, and countless opportunities, such as study abroad, cultural activities, and sports. If you're willing to become active on campus, there's a lot more to Pitt than meets the eye. The University's location can also be a great advantage—Pittsburgh itself is a great city that is a positive environment for students to live and learn in, thanks in part to the city being home to a number of colleges and universities. The social scene is always jumping, locals are friendly, and there's always something to do if you explore a little. The best idea is to visit and try to get a feel for the area. You can get the same quality education at Pitt that can be found in many smaller, expensive schools, but here you'll pay less to have a vibrant city right at your doorstep.

Muslim Spain and Portugal: A Political History of Al-AndalusThis is the first study in English of the political history of Muslim Spain and Portugal, based on Arab sources. It provides comprehensive coverage of events across the whole of the region from 711 to the fall of Granada in 1492. Up till now the history of this region has been badly neglected in comparison with studies of other states in medieval Europe. When considered at all, it has been largely written from Christian sources and seen in terms of the Christian Reconquest. Hugh Kennedy raises the profile of this important area, bringing the subject alive with vivid translations from Arab sources. This will be fascinating reading for historians of medieval Europe and for historians of the middle east drawing out the similarities and contrasts with other areas of the Muslim world. |

As much fun as it is to travel to far away places, leaving home has it downside.
For me waving goodbye to the garden is always hard. Having to say au revoir,
when it's just starting to thrive in the warm springtime sunshine, brings a catch
to my throat and even a tear to my eye as the car backs down the driveway.
to my throat and even a tear to my eye as the car backs down the driveway.
Last weekend I picked parsley and scattered annual seeds. There will be no
languishing at the garden centers this Spring, sighing over all those gorgeous
pots of perennials just waiting for a garden spot.
So right now the garden IS lovely, things are growing rapidly with April showers
and warm sunshine. Although the azaleas are late this year they have bloomed and
I've enjoyed them this past week before leaving. Above you can see the first fig
leaves appearing - by the time I return perhaps there will be tiny fruits.
The grass was mowed - hopefully it grows slowly. The neighbors will watch the
cottage and hopefully the weather will be gentle whilst we're away, with just quiet
breezes to blow the last of the pollen off the roof.
I know it will look like a jungle when we return mid-May!
What do you miss most when leaving home for an extended trip?

A great long lasting pair of pants. -
By: Gr8fisherman from Wellesley, Ont. Canada

heavy weight -
By: klmiller4 from online
I it these for my elderly father. They were a bit too stiff and heavy for him. I sent them back but I think the pants were great quality just not what I was looking for.
Great pants -
By: custjjb
The drawstring pants were a necessity for someone who's unable physically to deal with belts anymore. But we wanted pants that didn't look like they were only appropriate for the beach. These are great. They look like you can wear them just about anywhere and they fit wonderfully.
Soft and comfortable -
By: Stu99 from Marshfield Ma
Typical high quality material and construction from Orvis. Pre-shunk full cut pants. Hemmed to the half size. Run a little long in the rise so order accordingly. Excellent comfort.

NACUBO Responds to FASB's Revenue Recognition Proposal
October 22, 2010
The latest FASB proposal, issued amid a flurry of Exposure Drafts in 2010, would affect financial reporting and revenue recognition for exchange contracts that provide goods or services. Independent institutions with sponsored research would be required to recognize revenue only upon the attainment of performance obligations.
FASB's proposed Accounting Standards Update, "Revenue from Contract with Customers," seeks to create a single revenue recognition standard for International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The single standard would be applied across various industries globally. Because revenue is a significant component of financial reporting, the Exposure Draft (ED) appears to raise the profile of the international convergence effort. Since not-for-profit entities are not included within the scope of the FASB's convergence efforts with IFRS, this major proposal raises NACUBO's level of concern about the future of not-for-profit standard setting and compliance with authoritative guidance that results from convergence efforts. The ED would update topic 605 of FASB's Codification, the single authoritative source of GAAP for entities that follow FASB.
A performance obligation is an enforceable promise, whether explicit or implicit, in a contract with a customer that transfers goods or services to the customer. Because research projects can extend over multiple years and lack intermittent defined deliverables, FASB's proposed guidance could require that revenue be recognized much differently than under current practice. Hundreds of independent institutions with all types of research grants would be impacted. The ED also requires predictive disclosures of future transactions at a level of detail that would be burdensome and provide little value to the readers of higher education financial statements.

Enthusiastic car crash victim gets the Songify auto-tune treatment
You can forget Old Faithful. There's not a more reliable natural phenomenon than the internet. These days, videos mature from the pubescent stages of viral amusement to full-fledged autotuned maturity within hours. Take George Lindell's account of his Michael-Bay-worthy traffic accident, for example. If you've spent even a passing moment in the halls of YouTube, you likely realized that his exaggerated style was ripe for the autotune treatment. Now that itch has been scratched.
Hit the jump to check out the hilarity for yourself, as presented by the Songify people.

This is a tale of two Williams and a Cecile, their prototypes, ideas on sustainability and visions for dwellings on the move.
Their ideas have popped up on New Plymouth's foreshore as part of the new Puke Ariki exhibition, Kiwi Prefab: Cottage to Cutting Edge, which opened at the weekend.
French architect Cecile Bonnifait and Kiwi counterpart William Giesen from atelierworkshop have designed the Port-a-bach and Frametek's William Carter is the brains behind the Steel-framed Studio. The other two dwellings on Prefab Landing are the iPAD(TM) by Architex and Papai Design from Lockwood, but their stories will come later.
In a controversial move, Carter says that his building, made of lightweight steel framing, is more sustainable than traditional wood- house constructions.
"Steel is the product of the future," he says. "Steel is endlessly recyclable. You can pull it down, melt it down and reuse it. You can also recycle a whole house by shifting it."
Carter says New Zealand's damp climate and earthquake- prone environment are other reasons to opt for steel over wood. As well as being light and strong, steel framing doesn't hold moisture like wood, so won't grow mould.
Prefabricated steel framing is lightweight, making it easier and faster to lift into position. Its weight also makes it safer in quakes.
The studio could also be one of the answers to emergency housing problems, especially in the wake of a disaster like the Christchurch quakes or the 2009 tsunami in Samoa.
"One of the things I would like to see is this go to the [Pacific] islands as a kitset. We could ship it to the islands and provide information on how to put it up," Carter says.
"I like the idea of building something that's really practical - it's that practicality that really drives it. I want this to be cost-effective and easy to use, so that people can buy it in a kitset like Meccano and construct it themselves."
Giesen says the Port-a-bach doesn't need to be built, just opened up. Bonnifait and Giesen designed the mobile holiday home, which sits inside a 6-metre shipping container. It has a pull-down bed, fold-out bunk, kitchen and shower, plus a deck that can be enclosed like a tent.
Giesen says the idea stems from family summer holidays on Maori lease land at Matapouri Bay on the Tutukaka coast in Northland. "For years we had a bach there and a couple of caravans. One of the caravans got pulled down - what could we put there?"
The answer was the Port-a-bach. "It bridges the gap between a caravan and a house, and has the ability to fold out to create a larger living area and then fold back up."
Like the principle of a shipping container, the Port-a-bach is highly transportable. It can also be energy positive. Portable solar panels and maybe even small wind turbines can be hooked up to power it and when not in use the building can feed the grid.
Since its inception in 2006, the Port-a-bach has attracted a lot of attention. It has featured in high- end luxury living magazines, on websites and has been written about in regards to relief housing.
Giesen and Bonnifait still receive nearly daily inquiries from prefab-interested people all over the world, but the Port-a-bach remains a prototype - for a reason.
The atelierworkshop architects have learnt they aren't greatly interested in running a prefab production company and would love someone else to run with that.
"We are architects and we love designing things and that's what we spent many years studying to do," Giesen says.

"Does He Simply Hate Christianity... Does He Hate the United States... or Both?"
That is the question asked by those behind the new effort to impeach President Obama which is, of course, being covered by WorldNetDaily:
A political activist who was behind the famous Willie Horton advertisement that left Gov. Michael Dukakis' candidacy for president floundering and was among the first to sound the alarm on the need for Bill Clinton's impeachment says the United States is collapsing around its citizens right now, but there is a defense.
"Make no mistake. We're now in the middle of a bloodless coup – the takeover of an entire nation by the hate-America crowd – a cold-blooded gang that despises America's prosperity, our standing in the world, our trust in God and our generosity and goodness," says political activist Floyd Brown in a post on the new Impeach Obama Campaign website.
The website is here and explains that the term "'high crimes and misdemeanors' essentially means bad behavior" and lists the examples of Obama's "bad behavior" for which he must be removed from office, including:
And finally, Obama has consistently refused to approve the release of his actual birth certificate, college transcripts and his medical records ... It's almost as if Obama is intentionally trying to destroy the country ...
It's enough to make one wonder... does Barack Hussein Obama realize that every stab he takes at the Christian heritage of this great nation is a blow to the very foundation of our nation... a blow to freedom our personal liberty?
Does he simply hate Christianity... does he hate the United States... or both?

Shopping spree in cyberspace
Make big savings by using the internet, says Stephen Pritchard
The earliest internet sites to offer goods for sale - known as e-commerce - concentrated on small items that could be sent through the post. Most of the early customers at US-based sites were looking for goods not available in the UK. The net was, and still is, a good place to track down lesser- known American books and CDs.
Now, as more UK retailers realise the potential offered by the internet, the picture is changing. Here's how to save cash on your shopping, without having to brave the high street.
Electrical goods
Several web-based stores offer products ranging from personal stereos to built-in cookers and fridges at highly competitive prices. Most offer free delivery, sometimes the next day. 21Store specialises in gadgets including minidisc players, digital cameras and camcorders.The site is currently running a sale, with discounts of around 10 per cent.
Home Electrical Direct has a wider range, including domestic appliances. HED prices cover delivery, and there is a nine-month interest-free credit option. The company promises to beat any rivals' prices by 110 per cent, meaning that if you spot the same item cheaper elsewhere after buying through HED, the site will refund 110 per cent of its selling price.
HED is significantly cheaper than most high-street outlets. The popular Dyson DC01 vacuum cleaner is pounds 159.99 against pounds 199.99 on the high street. As a very rough rule, prices appear to be 15 to 20 per cent below the stores.
Value Direct has been operating as a mail-order business for some time, but it now has one of the most comprehensive electrical goods stores on the net. The company claims to have more than 5,000 products on offer and, like HED, there is a 110 per cent price promise.
It is also one of the cheapest places to buy built-in appliances. The home delivery market for kitchen hardware is well- established - few buyers want to take home a dishwasher, and most retailers carry only limited stocks - so internet ordering makes sense. Value Direct can supply a Neff Circotherm built-in oven for pounds 525.95. The equivalent unit costs pounds 575 at B&Q, which is already one of the cheaper outlets.
Using search engines such as Yahoo! or Excite will produce several sites. Even if they cannot accept orders over the internet, specialists may display their catalogues online or give quotes by e-mail or over the phone.
For some products, like cameras or computer equipment, the best savings are in the US, where companies such as B&H Cameras can undercut British dealers even after duty and VAT are added. One word of caution, though: warranties are not automatic on American purchases. Closer to home, stores such as Richer Sounds are a good bet for bargains.
One of the best sites is run by Sofa and Sofabeds, which has three stores in London and one in Glasgow. The company sells both built-to-order and ready-made sofas, armchairs and sofabeds ranging from around pounds 400 to well over pounds 1,000.
There is an interactive "virtual sofa" that can display each model in a choice of fabrics, an on-line order form and, as an added incentive, a pounds 50 discount for enquiries originating on the internet. Sensibly, this applies even if you order in a store; the company realises that no web site, however efficient, substitutes for a real-life sitting test. For cheaper options, mail-order specialists Viva Sofa and Oakridge Direct are also online.
Travel is one of the net's strongest suits; there is no need to visit a travel agent ever again.
Airline websites offer some special deals. EasyJet gives a pound off each single ticket for web sales and lets you search for the cheapest flight. For consistently good deals on air tickets, hotels and car hire, turn to one of the two large, US-based travel sites with UK branches: Travelocity or Microsoft's Expedia. A flight to New York should be at least pounds 40 below the lowest advertised fare. The best deals, though, need booking in advance. For a quick getaway, try Lastminute.com. The site is exactly what the name suggests: if you're ready to travel, the deals are hard to beat.

'Kiwi dream' is hurting the economy
Related Links
Relevant offers
Stuff Nation
We asked you how to fix the economy and were flooded with responses. We'll be running these in the coming days. To contribute to the debate hit the green button below.
It's obvious that New Zealand has an enormous amount of inefficiency in its infrastructure - I'd address this as priority number 1.
We are also over-dependent (as much of the world is) on poorly controlled speculative investment - priority number 2.
Below are the specific areas I think we need to tackle:
1) The "kiwi dream" is a huge problem in our cities. Owning a bungalow house and a car and commuting to and from work is a giant problem in a city of one million people (Auckland). I would designate areas of the inner cities for re-development of (nice) apartment complexes and get people walking to work (euro style) instead of chewing up the economy stuck in traffic. More student accommodation is also needed on university campus sites.
2) Roll out free wi-fi in town centres. Put the pressure on ISPs to deliver a better internet connection - improving our communication links is going to be a huge boost for the economy.
3) Increase funding for the sciences to retain our educated (the idea is to move our economy from total reliance on agriculture).
4) Special tax schemes are needed to encourage high-tech businesses to set up here. This will help keep our skilled IT workers in the country.
5) Constrain speculative property investment by only allowing family units to own a maximum of two properties. (I studied the great depression at school... I don't think that our politicians did.)
6) We need tighter regulations, and watchdogs, on the amount of money banks are able to loan and to ensure they have enough funds to cover these.
7) And then some political reform. MPs must be skilled experts in an area before being allowed to be a minister of it (i.e. hold a PhD and 5 years experience in the field or be a known industry/business/professional leader in the area for at least 10 years). This ought to clean out some of the incompetence.
That's a start.

Jay Sekulow & BBC Watch Call On BBC to Stop Bias against Israel
One of America's leading Christian advocates is condemning the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), the largest broadcast organization in the world for refusing to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.: : The actions of: Jay Sekulow: of the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) are timely, given the recent launch ofa new site,: www.bbcwatch.org: which will monitor BBC coverage of Israel and the Middle East.
According to BBC Watch:
- The BBC demonstrates a disproportionate focus on Israel in relation to other countries in the Middle East — a trend which continued even through the 'Arab Spring'.
- The BBC's Middle East editor frequently displays an egregious lack of objectivity, portraying Israel in an overwhelmingly negative light and the Palestinians in a positive light.
- The BBC is self-regulating, and has been less than transparent and open to change in response to substantive criticism.
The BBC has weekly audiences of some: 225 million: abroad and: 97% of the population: of the United Kingdom.: The BCC intentionally refuses to list Jerusalem as the capital of Israel —despite a direct appeal from the Prime Minister of the State of Israel.
"The BBC refuses to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital — and Jerusalem is Israel's capital whether the BBC likes it or not. The BBC has discriminated against Israel for many years, and it's simply unacceptable," said: Jay Sekulow.

Gaston Canten Pleads Guilty to $135 Million Miami Ponzi Scheme
Gaston Canten, a prominent Cuban-American businessman who used his ties in the community to bilk victims out of their hard earned money, has officially been charged and has agreed to plead guilty to his part in running a $135 million Ponzi scheme. Canten's scheme went so far that even Belen Jesuit School became a victim.
"The Cantens used their prominent standing in a close-knit Cuban-American community to ruthlessly exploit vulnerable elderly investors who trusted them with their life savings," Eric I. Bustillo, director of the SEC's Miami regional pffice, said in a released statement at the time of Canten's indictment. "They portrayed themselves as a pious couple closely involved with educational and religious organizations, while in reality they were living lavishly off money from defrauded investors."

US Congressional Ports caucus leaders request the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee to hold a hearing on the Fund.
Congresswoman Janice Hahn (CA-44) and Congressman Ted Poe (TX-2) have addressed the following letter to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman, The Honorable Bill Shuster, and Ranking Member, The Honorable Nick J. Rahall: "As co-founders and co-chairs of the bipartisan Congressional PORTS Caucus, the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (HMTF) is a top area of interest for us. As such, we are writing to request that the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hold a hearing on the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund as the first step towards improving our utilization of those funds. For years, the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund has built to a multi-billion dollar surpluseven as so many ports across the nation have suffered from lack of investment. Common sense says there is a better way to manage and spend the trust fund, but we have not yet done what we need to fix it. As our experience working together in the bipartisan PORTS Caucus has proven, we can find a way forward together on ports issues. The PORTS Caucus itself will be having its first meeting of the 113th Congress to discuss options to improve the utilization of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund later this month. We know this issue holds the promise of true, bipartisan progress on a vital infrastructure matter. In that spirit, we call upon the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to hold a hearing on the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund as soon as possible. At stake is not only the strength and reliability of our nations ports and harbors, but the strength and reliability of the economic activity that flows through those gateways and creates jobs in every corner of the nation."
