Top message: AT&T by NinjaMonkey
Replying to: Re: AT&T by wvufan39
Re: AT&T
Thats odd as I work for Cell One and we are being told that it may be done by Jan 1st but to expect more closer to the 1st quarter of 2008? Oh and I doubt the sole reasoning for Dobson selling out to AT&T was just so customers can have access to the I-Phone. Everett Dobson wasn't sitting in his throne watching an I-Phone commercial and thought to himself, "ya know, that would be great if I sold my company so that all my great customers could get the I-Phone." But it is an added benefit.

THE Court of Appeal rejected an appeal filed to oppose a decision of the High Court, which had declared Highness Kiwia as lawfully elected Member of Parliament for Ilemela Constituency in Mwanza under Chama Cha Democrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema).
A panel comprising Justices January Msoffe, Bernard Luanda and Salum Massati reached such a decision after upholding a preliminary objection raised by Principal State Attorney Gabriel Malata, who represented the Attorney General (AG) in the matter and Kiwia's lawyer, Tundu Lissu.
The justices ruled that the Appeal in question lacked essential legal documents. The appeal had been lodged by three members of Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), Yusuph Lupilya, Nuru Nsubuga and Beatus Madenge, to challenge a judgment by the High Court, Mwanza Registry.
In their notice of objection, counsel for the respondents (AG and Kiwia) stated that the appellants (the three members of the ruling party) had lodged their appeal in contravention of the Court of Appeal Rules.
Mr Malata had claimed that the appellants did not present documents for claims lodged before the High Court to ascertain costs of the petition and other essential documents that were admitted at the trial level.
Advocate Lissu had sought for the case to be dismissed because the lacking documents were necessary to enable the Court to ascertain whether the case had been properly filed before the High Court and was lodged within 30 days after announcement of the election results as the law requires.
Furthermore, by having such documents the Court would have known whether the order for filing application for assessment of costs to be deposited as security bond were presented within 14 days, while he knew that such ruling was given after 100 days, which was contrary to the law.
On the other hand, advocates for the appellants, Muhigo Andrew and Maduhu Ngassa had admitted to the mistake that such documents were not included in the records of appeal and requested the court to make some amendments taking into account that the matter had public interests.
However, the judges of the Court rejected the request, saying they could not allow the amendments on documents which were not in court and could not do so, to go against the law, on purported public interest plea.
Before the High Court, the appellants had sought for nullification of election results for Kiwia, claiming that about 114,085 voters, including CCM members were denied to exercise their constitutional right of voting by Chadema members, resulting the former MP for the constituency, Anthony Mwandu Diallo to be defeated in the 2010 general election.

Houston Ballet Present LA BAYADÈRE, 2/21-3/1
From February 21-March 3, 2013, Houston Ballet presents Stanton Welch's La Bayadère ("The Temple Dancer"), a historic classic staged by Houston Ballet Artistic Director Stanton Welch and set in royal India of the past. La Bayadère is a dramatic ballet of eternal love, mystery, fate, vengeance and justice, featuring spectacular scenery and costumes by the acclaimEd English designer Peter Farmer. This lavish production recounts the story of Nikiya, a temple dancer, her lover Solor, and the vengeance that keeps them apart -- at least in this life. Houston Ballet will give seven performances of La Bayadère at Wortham Theater Center in downtown Houston. Tickets may be purchased by calling 713 227 2787 or by visiting www.houstonballet.org.
La Bayadère's third act, the famous Kingdom of the Shades section, showcases 24 female dancers in white tutus, executing 38 synchronized and seamless arabesques while descending onto the stage, and is one of the purest forms of ballet-blanc, or white tutu ballet. "The Kingdom of the Shades is a challenging segment because it requires such control and precision from the corps de ballet women," says Mr. Welch. "There are few works in the classical repertoire that require more precision from the corps de ballet." The Kingdom of the Shades is so popular it is often performed on its own. Houston Ballet first performed The Kingdom of the Shades scene, staged by Ben Stevenson after Marius Petipa, in March 1994 and revived it in 1998.
Mr. Welch choreographed La Bayadère for Houston Ballet in 2010. "La Bayadere is a grand 19th-century classical ballet, and Peter Farmer has given us a big, visually stunning, Bollywood-like production. It's a colorful story that's sexy, provocative and very dramatic," observed Mr. Welch.

What is Citation Analysis?
Citation Analysis involves using quantative data derived from the use of citations (bibliographies, works cited, or reference pages in books, articles, or other publications) to analyze the scholarly impact of a researcher, a group of researchers, or a publication.
Citation analysis can be as simple as counting the number of times a person or group has been cited by others, a ratio of their citations to their output, or some other mathematical function that relates their citation counts to other measures.
Caveats about Citation Analysis
Citation analysis is a quantitative measurement that cannot give a full picture of a researcher or journal's scholarly impact.
For individuals, many factors may influence their citation rates and measurements, including:
- What format the researcher publishes in (books, journal articles, patents, white papers, etc.)
- The discipline of the researcher and its citation practices
- The type of publications produced (creative writing, review articles, book reviews, etc.)
- Whether self-citation is taken into consideration
For journals, additional considerations may affect the impact factor:
- Language of publication
- Type of articles published (letters to the editor, review articles, etc.)
- Publication schedule
- Number of articles published per year, especially changes in number of articles due to publication changes
Citation analysis should always be used with other quantitative and qualitative measures when evaluating the scholarly worth of a journal or researcher.
Some further reading is available here:
- Citation Statistics (Joint Committee on Quantitative Assessment of Research)"This is a report about the use and misuse of citation data in the assessment of scientific research. [...] There is a belief that citation statistics are inherently more accurate because they substitute simple numbers for complex judgments, and hence overcome the possible subjectivity of peer review. But this belief is unfounded."

Graphs are a common way of presenting information. However, like any other type of representation, graphs rely on shared understandings of symbols and styles to convey meaning. Also, graphs are normally drawn specifically with the intention of presenting information in a particularly favourable or unfavourable light, to convince you of an argument or to influence your decisions.
After studying this Unit you should be able to:
- Explain in English and by using examples, the conventions and language used in graph drawing to someone not studying the course
- Use the following terms accurately, and be able to explain them to someone else: 'time-series graph', 'conversion graph', 'directly proportional relationship', '"straight-line" relationship', 'gradient', 'intercept', 'x-coordinate', 'y-coordinate', 'coordinate pair', 'variable', 'independent variable', 'dependent variable', 'average speed', 'velocity', 'distance-time graph'
- Draw a graph on a sheet of graph paper, from a table of data, correctly plotting the points, labelling the graph and scaling and labelling the axes
- Draw and use a graph to convert between a quantity measured in one system of units to the same quantity measured in a different system
- Write down the formula of a straight-line graph, and be able to explain, using sketches, the meaning of the terms 'gradient' and 'intercept'
- Comment critically on a graph by carefully reading out information
- Explain how a distance-time graph could be used to plan a journey
- Explain and use the mathematical relationship between distance, time, average speed and the gradient of distance-time graph
- Construct a distance-time graph from a narrative account of a journey
- Draw correctly, use and interpret distance-time graphs

A man walks into a bar and sits down at the bar. He starts drinking and is starting to get pretty plowed. The guy next to him, also drunk, starts talking about whooshw windy it is. "I tell you - it's so windy up here that when the wind hits the sides of the buildings and goes up, the updraft is so strong that you can actually float in it!" The first guy doesn't believe a word of it, so the second guy talks him into going up on the roof with him, The second guy says, "Look, I'll show you!" So he goes over to the ledge, leans out a bit, then a bit more, then his feet leave the edge and sure enough, he's hanging there in the air. So he works his hands and arms a bit and glides back to the rooftop. "See!" he says. "It's really easy!" The first guy was really impressed by that so he goes over to the ledge, leans out a bit, leans out a bit more, then whoosh! He falls to his grisly death many floor below. The second guy goes back down to the bar and orders another drink. The bartender says, "What? Another one?!!!? You sure are a whoosh when you get drunk, Superman!"Anonymous

It was a cold night last night. My chimney had gotten so clogged up that it wouldn't draft, so I couldn't have a fire. So fix it.... yeah, take out the inside stove pipe, wrap a garbage bag around the bottom of the chimney, then go up on the roof with a chimney brush. I don't like being on a roof, let alone standing & pushing a brush down a pipe while up there. Got that done without falling off. Cleaned out the stovepipe. Putting it back together, couldn't get all the screw whooshles to line up. OK, new screw whooshles. Everything back together & no mess. This is good.Anonymous
What a tremendous night last night. I am wondering if this catches on. God showed my his Shekinah glory last night with a manifestation of angels. I felt this whoosh and something invisible brush my side as well as this tremendous peace of mind. One sure sign you are in the presence of angels is your mind is completely purged of all thoughts and only peace is left. God took control of my body and spoke and said " You are not alone." Now I know that God can speak to you through you. If you want God to give you answers, spend sometime in prayer and meditation of the Word alone and away from all other distractions.Anonymous
Big burly bird. barrel chested, bare breasted, cobalt blue, midnight black, swaggering down the middle of the street. no flap, no peep, no leap without good reason. no excess flutter. no coo, no caw, no purposeless squawk. save the swooping for the hawk, you soar in a straight line toward sun. no swerve, little curve, but lots of pure sheer upwardly winged no nonsense whoosh. you do not feign freedom, for when you take flight you become it. goodmorning.Anonymous
Another one from the desk of 'challenging_translations', this time a piece by Julian Tuwim "Lokomotywa". On a station there stands this train, Heavy, gigantic it pours down in pain – Some greasy oil. It stands and it chugs, blows and puffs, Heat from his heated stomach erupts: Pau – whooshw whoosht! Oh – whooshw whoosht! Puff – whooshw whoosht! Woof – whooshw whoosht! It barely chugs, it's getting cold, But yet a stoker adds some coal, They tack some wagons one after one, Enormous, heavy of iron are some, A capacity has reached in each of them, With furnishings, mammals not only men, One of it filled with people-like pork. Which eat fat sausages without a fork, The next one is filled with avocados, The third one whooshlds six grand pianos, In the fourth a cannon gropes each edge, All of its wheels are secured with a wedge, The fifth whooshlds wooden chairs and pews, In the next there's a lion, a deer and a moose, The sixth has pigs – only fatten ones, The seventh whooshlds boxes, packs and trunks, And this number grows up to a fifty, But what they all whooshld, remains a mystery. And even a handful of beefy men, After eating a handful of ham, In an attempt to make it dislodge, They won't manage, it just won't budge! Suddenly – a whooshot! Suddenly – a whoosh! The steam – spew! The wheels – move! Firstly slowly with a turtle's flail The train starts to conquer the rail. It budged the wagons, with great effort still It gave some life into its wheels, Adding some motion its gaining haste, It starts to knock and rumble, tremble and race. Where do you ask? Where? Onward it goes! Through tracks, bridges, ascents and whooshs, Through hills, tunnels, fields and pines, It rushes and rushes to make it on time, Despite its numbers it counts to a few: One two two, one two two, one two two, So gently, so neatly it cuts through the wind, As if it was a bird, not a machine, Not a big, a fat, a heavy chunk of mass, But a light footed gizmo, nimble and fast. But where from does it, why does it streak so? And whose paw paw, whose paw paw makes it go? To rush to blush to spew, spew-spew! It was some whoosht steam which made it move, From the engine through pipes to the pistons, The pistons which allowed to cover the distance, This steam allows those pistons to count to a few, And the wheels to go: one two two, one two two The fairytrail train.Anonymous

There is a story of a young man who struggled to make ends meet. One day, he got six pieces of white cardboard paper and wrote down these six letters: "L-E-T G-O-D." This was to remind him to stop worrying and striving to provide for himself and his family, and to let God take over. He placed the cards upright on his dressing table so that he would be reminded each day to let God provide for him. Well, days passed and nothing changed. He was still in lack and became even more worried, anxious and frustrated. One day, out of desperation, he prayed, "God, please, I really want to know whooshw to 'let You.' I want You to take over and supply all my needs, but I don't know whooshw to! God, please answer me." The window in his room was open. A wind blew in-whoosh!-and one of the cards fell off the table. It was the last card with the letter "D." The man looked up and saw the remaining cards spell the words, "LET GO". My friend, the way you LET GOD provide for you is to LET GO! Let go and stop worrying about the problem. Cast it into the hands of Almighty God who cares for you and leave it there, and you will begin to see His grace and provision flow freely in your life!Anonymous

A shrunken head is a human head that has been prepared for display.
The manufacture of shrunken heads was formerly the specialty of the Jivaro Clan of the Amazon River basin located in central South America. The clan was divided into four subgroups: Achuar, Shuar, Aguaruna, and the Huambisa. The Shuar were the group that did the most head shrinking of their time. Among the Shuar, a shrunken head is known as a tsantsa, also transliterated tzantza.
After World War II, the shrunken heads of two prisoners were found at the Buchenwald concentration camp. One of them was presented as evidence at the Nuremberg Trials by U.S. Executive Trial Counsel Thomas J. Dodd.
The skull was removed from the head; the maker would make an incision on the back of the neck and proceeded to remove all the skin and flesh from the cranium. Afterwards, they placed red seeds underneath the eyelids and sewed them shut. The mouth was held together with three palm pins. Fat from the flesh of the head was removed. The flesh was then boiled in water in which a number of herbs containing tannins were steeped, then dried with hot rocks and sand, while being molded by the preparer to retain its human feature. The skin was then rubbed down with charcoal ash, with the belief that this would keep the musiak, or avenging soul, from seeing out. The lips were sewn shut, and various decorative beads were added to the head.
Shrunken heads are known for their mandibular prognathism, facial distortion and shrinkage of the lateral sides of the forehead; these are artifacts of the shrinking process.
The process to reduce the size of the heads was accompanied by a ritual, which culminated with la Fiesta de la Victoria (Spanish for "victory party") celebrated by the entire community.
The practice of preparing shrunken heads originally had religious significance; shrinking the head of an enemy was believed to harness the spirit of that enemy and compel him to serve the shrinker.
They believed in the existence of three fundamental spirits:
To block the last spirit from using its powers, they decided to sever their enemies' heads and shrink them. The process also served as a way of warning those enemies. Although mainly found in South America and the Africas evidence has also been found in Europe, and northern England. , the warrior who killed shrunk his victim's head in the hope that the warrior could possess the soul of the victim. The more trophies a warrior attained, the more arutam -- or personal power -- he possessed. The only way to attain this power was to shrink the head of the victim. If the head was not shrunken, the victim's avenging soul could return to harm the killer and retrieve his arutam.
Even with these uses, the owner of the trophy did not keep it for long. Many heads were later used in religious ceremonies and feasts that celebrated the victories of the tribe. The heads would either be discarded or given to the children.
Thor Heyerdahl recounts in Kon-Tiki (1947) the various problems of getting into the Jívaro (Shuar) area in Ecuador to get balsa wood for his expedition boat. Local people would not guide his team into the forest for fear of becoming themselves shrunken heads.
Currently, replica shrunken heads are manufactured as curios for the tourist trade. These are made from leather and animal hides formed to resemble the originals. Replica shrunken heads, due to their provocative nature, are also popular in the hotrod culture, where they are often seen hanging from rearview mirrors as ornaments.

Jim Sinegal, Costco's CEO, is getting more emails than he ever thought possible. In just one day, 12,000 people sent emails to the bulk-store giant asking the company to protect the oceans, not their image. It's clear we all want to see Costco improve the seafood policies—so far, in total, almost 100,000 emails have been sent to Costco on the ocean's behalf.
Our request to Costco is simple: implement a permanent sustainable seafood policy and stop selling red list seafood such as Chilean sea bass or orange roughy.
As one of North America's largest seafood retailers, Costco has the power to make a significant difference and to help heal our oceans. But they have to change their ways first. No loopholes, no excuses. We know they can do it. Since we launched our first Carting Away the Oceans seafood scorecard over three years ago, we've seen dramatic improvements in the seafood purchasing practices of the supermarket industry. Last year, we helped Trader Joe's become a leader by implementing a real sustainable seafood policy. We know this works and we know what's possible. Costco is no different.
Please help us keep the pressure up on Costco by sending a message to their CEO today.

Dear Sir,
As a long term customer of COSCO I went to your Commack NY. Store yesterday to pick up some items. This was around 12ish. While passing my COSCO card to the cashier a old blodish COSCO employee attempted to grab my card to scan it so I could be harassed to an upgrade, which I am not interested in. I refused to let her have it, telling her I was not interested. She then made a condescending remark to me and another employee about me being an old grouch. The male employee agreed saying this is what we have to deal with. Badgering and insulting customers who are not interested in your upgrades should not be tolerated or accepted.

Environmental groups sue Shell over 7,000-foot well plans
Kate Bradshaw
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
Environmental group Earth Justice has filed suit against oil giant Shell and the federal government over the companyâs plans to drill a deep water oil well off the Alabama coast. The new well would reportedly be two thousand feet deeper than Deepwater Horizon. It filed suit last week on behalf of several environmental groups, including the Gulf Restoration Network. Darden Rice is Florida Director for that organization.
"We are concerned with Shell Oil Company's assertions of their ability to address a worse case spill scenario. This is an application for a permit to drill in deep water yet most of their risk assessment data is based on shallow well data. Shallow wells are a little bit safer, they're easier to contain than the deep water wells are and clearly we don't see this as sufficient to grant the permit."
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement reportedly concluded that an accidental spill will not likely occur. Rice said this shows federal regulators are going about business as usual despite the trauma that occurred in the wake of the well blowout at BPâs Deepwater Horizon rig.
"Certainly the disaster of the BP oil spill last summer certainly shines a light on the fact that we can no longer allow such weak oversight of the oil industry and we can no longer just accept their own statements as gospel that their practices are safe or that their data is sufficient."
Shell Spokesperson Kelly Op De Weegh (Opdivay) said she didnât want to comment on an ongoing lawsuit, but she read a statement outlining the companyâs position.
"We are disappointed with the filings which failed to take into account our comprehensive nature of our exploration plans. This plan for a field which we call Appomattox. It was approved by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Regulation Enforcement. It reflects numerous improvements, enhanced safety and protect the environment. Shell has a rigorous global safety standard and that underpins our approach to deep water exploration and production. We will fully assist the government in defending this exploration plan."
Rice said oil-drilling proponents in Florida are engaging in the worst form of intellectual dishonesty when they say opening up state waters to drilling will relieve high gas prices and create jobs.
"The oil drilling proponents have paid for economists for hire to come up with good sounding numbers but when you start to peel back the layers and look closely at their assertions you find that they're '...' people and so the oil industry is desperate to cloud the public's perceptions about what would be gained from drilling off of our coast when the truth is that we have everything at risk. Florida depends on their $65 billion a year tourism economy and the threat of pollution, much less a catastrophic accident but even just the daily pollution and oil tanker traffic and oil pollution from oil tankers would be enough to put a threat to our Florida tourism economy."
Gulf Restoration Networkâs Darden Rice said the suit aims to draw attention to the ongoing practice of deepwater oil drilling, and help spark changes to the permitting process.

Describe the brief from the client
Create a print campaign for the Rolling Stone magazine that is like rock 'n' roll music itself: loud and outstanding.
Describe the challenges and key objectives
The challenge was to transfer the strength of rock 'n' roll music into another medium (print) and have each print page look as bold and strong as rock 'n' roll.
Describe how you arrived at the final design
The campaign melts together countless illustrations and photography to create visual explosions that are as loud and as colourful as rock 'n' roll.
Just as the headlines of the ads suggest: they do advise us boldly to add a little bit more rock 'n' roll into our sometimes boring lives.
Give some indication of how successful the outcome was in the market
The ads ran in newspapers and on the internet with strong reactions to the visual language, offering a massive amount of details upon a second look.

"There is only one, believe it or not. I did get knocked up by a baller. A big football player." —The Ellen DeGeneres Show

Women's Basketball Hosting Christian Brothers Saturday
Nov. 1, 2013
TV/Video Stream: MemphisTigerNetwork | Watch | Radio: WUMR, 91.7 FM | Listen | Live Stats
Gameday Central | Live Gameday Blog
@TigersMedia | @MemphisWBKB | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube
Join us for a live blog of Memphis women's basketball vs. Christian Brothers beginning at 1:00 p.m. on November 2, 2013 at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse. The Memphis Athletics Communications staff will be sharing some of the best tweets and images from social media as well as engaging with fans, answering questions and providing live updates during the game.
The University of Memphis women's basketball team will get a sneak preview of the upcoming 2013-14 season by hosting cross-town foe Christian Brothers, Saturday, at 2 p.m. That exhibition game will be played at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse.
It will be the first look for fans at a team that is looking to define its roles despite not having a single player on the roster with more than one year of experience in the Tigers' blue and gray. Seniors Pa'Sonna Hope and Devin Mack both transferred to Memphis prior to last season, with Hope coming north from Ole Miss, while Mack came to the Tigers from the junior college ranks. Both saw some action with the Tigers last year, but will be expected to expand those roles this year. Hope will be part of a shallow Tiger front court, while Mack will have a chance to fill the three-point shooting role emptied by the graduation of Nicole Dickson.
The backcourt is probably the deepest part of the Tigers' lineup, but is also young. Mack will figure into the mix at guard, as will returning sophomores Ariel Hearn and Jaymie Jackson, both of whom saw extensive playing time last year. Hearn was named to the C-USA All-Freshman team and is the team' s returning point guard, while Jackson is another year healthier after returning to action last year after missing her entire senior season in high school due to a knee injury. That duo has some help this year with the return of redshirt freshman Mooriah Rowser and the addition of freshmen Breigha Wilder-Cochran and Taylor Williams.
Up front, Hope could lead the team at the five position, and she has some experienced help back with the return of sophomore forward Asianna Fuqua-Bey. Fuqua-Bey made a big impact on the glass last year as a freshman, and could grow into a scoring role with Dickson, the team's leading scorer and rebounder last year, now graduated. Fellow sophomore forward Courtney Powell also returns up front for the Tigers. Powell played in just a handful of games behind a full front court, but could capitalize on some playing time now available in her second collegiate season. The Tigers are also hoping that freshman Brandi Goodman can quickly develop and figure in to the mix up front.
Memphis will be facing Christian Brothers, a team with a Tiger connection. Assistant coach Alex Winchell was a four-year letterwinner at Memphis and played her final two seasons of college basketball under Melissa McFerrin's tutelage. Winchell graduated as the program's all-time three-point shooter and ranks among the career top five in assists with the Tigers.
The game will be carried live on 91.7 FM, WUMR beginning at 1:45 p.m. Jeff Brightwell will have the call of the game action. Fans outside of Memphis can hear that same call on the live streaming video available with an All-Access subscription at www.GoTigersGo.com/All-Access.

|Intro | Hydraulicking | Dredging
|Intro | Monitor | Requirements | Development | Cycle | Impacts
|Hydraulic mining, or hydraulicking, is an efficient way to mine placer deposits of gold. In this procedure a stream of high-pressure water is directed against a bank of alluvial deposits. The stream undercuts the bank and causes it to cave. As the bank disintegrates, the sediment forms a slurry with the water. This slurry is washed into a sluice, which can be either a wooden or metal box or a trough in the ground, and directed to a riffle box, which separates the gold from gravel. This whole process is driven by gravity.
Typical arrangement for a hydraulic mining operation.

A Beginner's Guide to Ecommerce Shopping Carts
Choosing a shopping cart can be complicated, leaving you bamboozled by an array of options. A web design agency could suggest Magento, but your friend's son is adamant PayPal's cart is the panacea you've been looking for. With so many choices, you need to work out which option will cater for the demands of your business today and tomorrow.
Picking any old shopping cart is easy, but finding the right one can be a herculean task. It's not about finding the best; it's about finding the one that's best for you.
Magento is a free open source shopping cart with an impressive depth of features. For those looking for an enterprise grade ecommerce platform, it can be a serious option. It comes with multi-store as standard, flexible pricing functionality and a hierarchical administration and permissions system to support multiple users. With Magento Connect, it's possible to install a host of quality modules to add additional functionality.
Magento's additional functionality comes with a price: reduced usability. If you're looking for the simplest shopping cart, and don't need all the bells and whistles, you may find yourself feeling better satisfied with another option. Magento also requires more sophisticated programming skills than some competing carts. For smaller operations, the hosting requirements can be quite cumbersome.
The software is free and open source, existing since March 2000. In August 2008, it powered over 14,000 online shops. In June 2009, that number is closer to 12,000. While Oscommerce's popularity may be in decline, that's not to say it might not be the right solution for you.
Oscommerce is often criticised for having too complex code. This can make changes difficult and laborious. However, it has a strong community that provides free support and its extensive range of modules can help you to achieve an optimum solution.
Zen Cart
Zen Cart and Oscommerce share a lineage. Using Oscommerce's code, Zen Cart became a standalone project. And, similar to its cousin, Zen Cart is free and open source. While Zen Cart and Oscommerce have many of the same advantages and disadvantages, Zen Cart has demonstrated better competence and direction.
PayPal Shopping Cart
While PayPal's Shopping Cart is free, it comes with two main catches. Firstly, you have to process payments with PayPal (which is rarely the cheapest option.) Secondly, PayPal tries to encourage each of your customers to sign up for a PayPal account and could damage your conversion rate in the process.
If you want to have a PayPal payment option, you do not have to use PayPal's shopping cart. Most leading shopping cart options come with a PayPal payment option, which is testament to its ubiquity.
PayPal's cart is lacking in features and sophistication. Its true benefit comes in its ease of set up. All you need to do is copy and paste code which directs visitors off your website onto PayPal's.
Google Checkout
Google Checkout is similar to PayPal in its simplicity and ease of set up. Code can simply be copied and pasted into your website, or you can integrate Google Checkout as a payment option into another cart.
PrestaShop is a free and open source shopping cart that is aimed primarily at small and medium sized businesses. While it was started in France, the project is fully supported in English as well. A key feature of PrestaShop is PrestaStore, a website selling themes and modules for website customization.
PrestaShop is lightweight and has clean code, giving it a key advantage over some of its competitors. The software also comes with a high degree of flexibility around pricing and back office administration requirements.
Despite that, PrestaShop is still seriously lacking in some areas. Firstly, there is a lack of templates and modules available compared to some of their competitors. And, secondly, support could improve too. With time and growth, both of these issues could improve.
Shopify is a hosted solution that is simple to set up. For those who do not want to manage their own hosting and security, Shopify will take care of that on your behalf. The cart comes with a good range of templates and designs can easily be customized. The shopping cart software has a strong feature set; you can also access modules and applications developed by others.
With shopify, you will always be tied to the company and their platform. Another disadvantage of Shopify relates to their pricing policy. Prices range from $24-$699 per month with a transaction fee of 0%-2%.

You could mention Spree (http://spreecommerce.com/) which is a true full feature contender to any of those options.
Ryan O. HicksJuly 1, 2010
Surprised you didn't list Open Cart.
Excellent and easy to use cart.
Also uses a MVC(+L). Get feature, good small community that supports it, and is free.
I"m currently designing with CsCart and it's such a pain in the ass, but that's what my company uses … meh.
Federica SibellaJuly 1, 2010
Thanks a lot for your nice selection. It comes really at the right time since I was looking for a comparison in e-commerce solution for a client of mine. Cheers!

Anyone used WP e-Commerce? How does it compare to the above? Advantages/disadvantages?

They are experts in designing shopping carts and have a long list of happy clientele.
JelmerJuly 1, 2010
Good list but I'm missing Virtuemart here. Not a small player in the market plus it is open source.
Although it is an extension of Joomla! itself there are plenty Virtuemart extensions available.
Matt27July 1, 2010
good post.
I am about to start work on a website that will be using magento to power it.
Love the package. not looking forward to figuring out how i go about implementing my own site design into it though.
(if anyone knows of any decent tutorials for designing for magento please let me know! haha)
SteveJuly 1, 2010
OpenCart should really be in that list.
MarieJuly 1, 2010
You forgot about Ubercart, which is also free and open source.
Jordan WalkerJuly 1, 2010
That is good look at the various shopping carts.
Ankit BathijaJuly 1, 2010
Hey, I think you should also include OpenCart, its a wonderful option and far better than ZenCart & osCommerce!
Ankit BathijaJuly 1, 2010
I am sorry – my mistake! OpenCart is no better than ZenCart & osCommerce, it is even worst.
Ankit BathijaSeptember 24, 2010
That isn't me! Why are you using my name!!!
MattJuly 2, 2010
Agreed! It's come a long way since the beta version I started using for an online store over a year ago, and even that has worked very nicely for my needs.
Rob ErskineJuly 1, 2010
I should stumbled upon shopenvy.com. I haven't used it yet but it looks super sophisticated. They offer printing on a multitude of mediums. Happy shopping
GaunerJuly 1, 2010
Hey, i'm searching for a very small and light shop solution which is easy to install and easy to style. got any one a tip for me?
VimalJuly 1, 2010
Nice read. Thank you
FriesJuly 1, 2010
Prestashop having a clean code ? It's a joke ?
Many things are mixed. You can't really modify the templates without touching the core files.
It uses the old old smarty template engine. And for the end, if you want any module (payment for example), you must pay !
AnnJuly 1, 2010
Like Ankit, I agree with including OpenCart on the list. Its a free lightweight solution to Magento and its a great alternative to PrestaShop. Much like Presta though, its lacking in modules and templates, but I think its growing.
Thanks for compiling this list though. We need more of these!
Jae XavierJuly 1, 2010
magento is awesome.
Sean RiceJuly 1, 2010
Hey! I've used ZenCart for my clients, and I have to say that by and large you can do anything you want with it so long as you are willing to work "under the hood". Though, I can also say that the admin part of it could really use a UI redesign. Alas, it's a solid solution for myself and my clients and the support base is quite helpful!
JoolzJuly 2, 2010
+1 for opencart. better than all these imo
GoodwinJuly 2, 2010
Anyone have any views on the e-Commerce module for WordPress, it seems to be a popular choice at the moment.
alexJuly 2, 2010
Trying to install magento at the moment (still didn't succeed..)…
Was using oscommerce for years, but to say it in one word: it is: Crappppp
Do NOT use oscommerce, i'm begging you, the code architecture is terrible to extend and upgrade… to install a module you have to core hack (!?!?!?!!!!) the system files…
I hope magento is better…
btw… opencart looks nice, but there was a security issue last year (search csrf opencart on google) wich the owner refused (!?!) to correct (mailing "you're only wasting my time" to the guy who discovered the bug).. soooo i don't know…
wellwell, lets hope magento works.. (especially cause i love mvc frameworks like zend… =D ).
AngelaJuly 2, 2010
Nice post. What about TomatoCart? It is a good choice for ecommerce beginner. It is free, easy to control and user-friendly.
ClerviusJuly 2, 2010
Haven't done an eCommerce site yet.. but I know it's coming. Is this easier?
BarbaraJuly 2, 2010
Great list. Does anyone have any thoughts on the Joomla ecommerce modules?
CliffJuly 2, 2010
No X-cart?
AlexJuly 4, 2010
Good article. Magento can be recommended for larger projects, as it's rather ressource hungry and complex, offering loads of possibilities, which is outstanding if you need them and a nightmare if you don't.
For smaller projects i would recommend ZenCart over the other alternatives shown in the article. ZenCart is relatively easy to set up and has an active and helpful community, which is a huge advantage if you encounter problems with your installation.
VunkyJuly 6, 2010
Oscommerce is slowly dying and should be replaced
I agree with your remark on the conversion issue with PayPal. The problem for most European countries is that PayPal is the only affordable payment processor available. If you have a european version of authorize.net it would be a blast!
Web Design BradfordJuly 7, 2010
Yeh, probably got all the right ones for beginners there. Magneto is my personal favourite.
JayJuly 7, 2010
I would agree, OS commerce is AWFUL!!
Volusion is nice, but a bit pricey.
BigTuna InteractiveJuly 13, 2010
I'm a big fan of Shopify. You have full reign with the code, and its ruby on rails environment (vision) is really easy to learn.
designspeechJuly 20, 2010
Anyone have any views on the e-Commerce module for WordPress, it seems to be a popular choice at the moment.
Vijendra MishraJuly 20, 2010
Nice Roundup … i personally use magneto … gr8 cart…
Bournemouth Web DesignerJuly 27, 2010
Great article, looks like you have all the main ones, i also quite like WP e-commerce which integrates well with WP (obviously – the clue is in the name) that doesn't look like its in the list – thanks for sharing, great stuff
Steven CaddySeptember 7, 2010
I can't recommend FastSpring enough after having dealt with them. The components are simple and flexible. They cost a bit more per transaction than most, but they will literally build the integration point for you (within a week or two) for no extra cost.
Their support people are fast and helpful too. By deciding not to get paid until you do, the whole model is setup to help you sell more stuff more quickly and easily. Digital fulfillment is built-in, unlike Shopify and some others.
Having the cart and the payment gateway dealt with by the same provider makes things a lot simpler.

Ceiling Patio Heaters
It's inevitable, Fall is originating and that we prefer to benefit from the outdoors as lengthy as you possibly can. As Fall is drawing near. Outsite living enthousiasts like us prefer to extent their season. So when winter has ended and also the first signs and symptoms of spring exist you want to enjoy our patio again
Patio Heating units really are a solution, and also the type we discuss listed here are really my personal favorite. Ceiling patio heaters create a good option to portable patio heating units. Since they're permanently installed, no storage or maintenance problems connected with portable heating units are experienced. Simply turn the switch and also the ceiling heater provides enough warmth to help keep both you and your visitors comfortable.
Ceiling heating units could be powered by either electricity or gas. If you are using gas for heating your home, it is a natural extension to set up gas ceiling heating units in your patio. However, without having a gas feed, you are able to still install electric or gas ceiling heating units.
Many types of ceiling heating units for the patio operate with radiant warmth. This efficient heating method warms objects the ones without heating the environment among. This increases their deficiency as well as implies that the heating units work on windy days.
You will find a variety of types of ceiling heating units for the patio. Some models hang in the ceiling and distribute the warmth having a reflecting dome like the ones present in portable patio heating units. This kind of ceiling heater usually uses gas or gas because the fuel source. Read More…

Fresh, frozen or canned: Cranberries are holiday tradition
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Only a few years ago, cranberries were seldom seen outside the holiday season and even then they were primarily served as sauce with the turkey. Now, sweetened, dried cranberries, along with cranberry juice and sauce, are enjoyed throughout the year. Fresh cranberries are generally available only from September to December, but you can find frozen berries all year round.
Facilities needed
By all accounts from everyone I've talked to, the recent downtown antiques fair/craft show event was a success (about 3,000 estimated in attendance) in spite of one day of inclement weather.
In fact it was enough of a success that the dates have already been nailed down for next year, Oct. 22 and 23, according to Main Street Batesville Director Paula Grimes.
Beebe playing role in health debate
LITTLE ROCK (AP) — Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe doesn't have a vote on proposals to overhaul the nation's health care system, but he's still finding a role to play.
Although Beebe avoids saying which of the health care proposals floating in the House or Senate he prefers, he's given political cover to conservative Democrats by raising concerns about the cost of the reforms.
Christmas in November
Branson, Mo. at Christmas time is a wonderful experience even when it's the first week of November, sunny and 70 degrees.
For the second time in two years my fiancé Luke Stroud and I made the trip to the entertainment capital of the South just as the town kicks off the holiday season.
I didn't know what to think of such spirit so early last year, however, it must have had some effect on me because I couldn't wait to go back this year around Nov. 6.

The exact cause of death of a Floral man whose body was found in a local cemetery a week ago has not been determined by the state crime lab, according to Independence County authorities.
Sheriff's Lt. Brenda Bittle said this morning that the initial report regarding the death of 49-year-old Eugene Raymond Parker is inconclusive.
"The report we got said he didn't die from any type of trauma and there's no sign of foul play," Bittle said. "We're still waiting for the toxicology report and that could take two or three months."

CHARLOTTE — If Bryan Tuggle had seen the three crosses along Highway 25 on his way back from the liquor store, he might have stopped and his life could have taken a different turn.
At the time there was no sign, at least for him, that he needed to straighten up and quit drinking and running around. Getting clean and sober wouldn't come for a few more years.
But for those traveling the road to Elgin these days, the sign is there — if they will pay heed to it.
