This Pastor or Bishop as he calls himself, abused his position, people and the finance of the church for his own personal gain. He seduced female members into having sex with him. His wife at the time had Multiple Sclerosis and used a walker and wheelchair to move about. Some of the members in the congregation were hurt and devastated when he closed up his former church in Los Angeles, moved with no notice to the people, some of the members have yet to recover from the betrayal he inflicted on them. If you read this pray that this is where God wants you and pray that Jesse Collins gets the help he really needs, before he wounds more unsuspecting parishioners with his half truth.

I Wish I Was A Donut
by Suzi
I wish I was a donut
And get eaten every day
To stick on someone's fingers
In a most delightful way
I wish I was a donut
Sugar coated just for fun
Full and round for easy grip
And a hole to put your tongue
I wish I was a donut
Long and filled with custard cream
Delicious on the taste buds
A succulent silken dream
Wowza. Far more scandalous donut poems HERE.
Click the link. You will not be disappointed.

From Ron Dunphy
Often it is said, "It takes a whole village to raise a child." Rearing a youngster is the responsibility of parents; families are essential and our school system is part of the overall development process. Churches play an important role, as do friends.
The Creston Community School District (CCSD) is blessed with many volunteers who put in literally thousands of hours helping when they can in advancing opportunity in a big selection of activities for all students of all ages.
I am writing today to acquaint readers of the newspaper with the chance to enhance instruction of all second grade students in reading. For many years, volunteers have helped with R.E.A.D.S. at the elementary school. More volunteers are needed this year.
Beginning in early November, you, a friend or a relative can sit with a child, listen to them read and maybe read to them, as needed. This then is an invitation to a rewarding, ongoing, weekly event that will capture and challenge your heart. The reward is the satisfaction of providing the service of encouraging and expanding learning. I have found the excitement of the children something that is its own reward.
If you respond to the smile of a child this is for YOU!
Be a friend and do something for a child; please call Chris Mansour at 641-344-2688 to enrich your life, too. Creston cares!

Since I live in a pretty small town of about 14,000 people, I assumed there wouldn't be anyone here in town who could do the cylinder, but I was wrong, ha! The engine builder I've been talking to recommended an automotive shop here in town, half a mile from my freakin house, lol!
Dropped off the old one to be ball-honed. They'll check it with the bore micrometer to see if the ID is within spec, after the hone, then I should be good to go put the whole bike back together.
Unfortunately, there are no returns on the eBay ripoff cylinder, so I'll have to either re-sell it as the wrong size, or pay to have it actually re-bored to proper spec, then sell it or keep it to be sold along with the scooter.
Anyone want that new cylinder??

Jake Simmons Jr
Reading time: 4 – 6 minutes
Joseph Jacob Simmons, Jr. (January 17, 1901 – March 24, 1981) was a prominent African American oilman. He "rose above humble beginnings to become the most successful and most recognizable black entrepreneur in the history of the petroleum industry." As an internationally known oil broker he partnered with Phillips Petroleum Company and Signal Oil and Gas Company to open up African oil fields in Liberia, Nigeria and Ghana. In 1969, he became the first black to be appointed to the National Petroleum Council.
Born in what later became Haskell, Oklahoma, Simmons was the ninth of ten children.His great-grandfather had been a slave of the Creek Indian tribe, and later became a chief as well as a leader for many of the freed Creek slaves. Simmons father owned a 500-acre (2.0 km2) ranch in the Haskell area. As a child, Simmons repaired fences and worked cattle. At age 10, he told his father, "I want to be an oil man."
Booker T. Washington, on one of his trips to Oklahoma, spent the night at the Simmons ranch and convinced Simmons to attend the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. From Washington, Simmons learned to love work for its own sake, and learned that success depends on an ability to charm and motivate people. After graduating from Tuskegee in 1919, Simmons married Melba Dorsey and moved to Detroit, Michigan. A year later he divorced her, moved back to Oklahoma, and married Willie Eva Flowers.
As a member of the Creek Nation, Simmons received {convert|160|acre|) km when the tribe disbanded. In the 1920s, oil flowed on his hand. He became an oil broker and entrepreneur, buying and selling oil leases, and started a real estate business. During the Great Depression, he sold Oklahoma farmland to African Americans in East Texas, who had made money in the oil boom. Meanwhile he expanded his oil lease-trading business into Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Kansas.He dealt with oil barons such as William Skelly, founder of Skelly Oil, and Frank Phillips, founder of Phillips Petroleum.
With the help of his sons and L. W. Thomas of Summit, Oklahoma, Simmons built the Simmons Royalty Co., and expanded into cattle and insurance. By the end of the 1930s, Simmons was operating in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Kansas. He was dealing with oilmen such as Henry Sinclair, William G. Skelly and Frank Phillips.
In the 1960s, Simmons worked as an intermediary in multi-million dollar deals between major American oil companies and newly independent African nations. He became internationally recognized in the oil business. In 1969, he was appointed to the National Petroleum Council.
Simmons refused to be a victim of bigotry. He told his children, "You are equal to anyone, but if you think you're not, you're not."
Simmons thought that jobs were the key to economic empowerment for African Americans. He helped blacks gain skills in his business and then helped them find jobs in other businesses. Simmons once said, "It is a waste of life for a man to fail to achieve when he has the opportunity." He also believed it was just as important to achieve in order to help others as it was to achieve to help yourself.
In 1938, Simmons filed one of the early court cases against separate schools and took it all the way to the Supreme Court. He was president of the Oklahoma NAACP and presided over the Negro Business League. Simmons was a capitalist who was determined to make the system work for and be accessible to all Black Americans. He believed in and fought for civil rights and was respected for his fierce sense of racial pride.
At the time of his death from heart failure, at the age of 80 in 1981, Simmons was the nation's most prominent African-American oilman.
Simmons' son J. J. "Jake" III was vice president of the family business before being recruited to work at the Interior Department during the Kennedy administration. He served as undersecretary of the Interior Department during the first Reagan administration and a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the 1980s and 1990s. Donald, an economist, took over Simmons Royalty Company. Blanche was a social worker and Kenneth, a Harvard-educated professor of architecture at the University of California, Berkeley.

My man, at age 10 he said he was going to be somebody. That's all it takes. My son want to do another garage sale so he can make money and he already know he want to get his own paper.
I'm going to find Jake photo, frame it and put it on the wall for inspiration.
I think the successful ones start early. I think if you can get the right thinking in a kid without the fear factor that paralyzes adults it's almost guaranteed.
I was thinking the same thing. Kind of a Black Business Hall of Fame in my hallway instead of Platinum Plaques. LOL

How to get her a ring for Christmass?
I have no idea what her ring size is and I don't want to ask hey what's your ring size? cause I want it to be a surprise. Btw, which of the... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
You know they say only guys buy women heart jewelry, I guess it's partially true. I'm gonna go ahead and be honest there all gaudy and unappealing to me.
I'd much prefer something like that.
Pearls and white gold are classy in my opinion.
These are nice too. Those black earrings are terrible, please don't get those.
Then again I'm not your girlfriend maybe she is the type of girl who likes heart jewelry. . .
- Show Older Hide Older
what kind of girl doesent like jewellery!? :D
but yeah I've asked her why she doesent wear any and she said she doesent know, no one of her family had jewellery ^^ but she likes them, even said shed get her pierced if I wanted her to to lol I guess she might have picked up why I asked about her ears
Lol a girl who likes jewelry wears it regardless of her family, but alright. And yeah you could pay for her to get her ears pierced or get her a necklace. You could also go to her favorite store and get multiple necklaces and headbands and stuff. But you might want to bring a girl with you to help you pick ^^
What Girls Said 22
Honestly any one of them. Personally love 3
Just a warning. When you hand a girl a box which she will know is a ring box her brain goes from 0 to 100 in milliseconds. It can become very awkward as she can freak out thinking omg he's proposing- this is amazing/this is not good. So maybe take it out of the box and put it in something else
I like link 5. It's really classy looking and a necklace is a lot more noticeable than earrings. Lots more compliments.
I'm going to assume you're proposing to her, but if you're not, don't buy her a ring.
Ring size is shoe size minus one. So ask her her shoe size or find out yourself.
propose, no f***ing way xD I am not planing to marry till I am 30 lol I just want to make her a nice gift ^^
Then don't buy her a ring, even if it doesn't look like an engagement ring. It will give her the wrong idea and it will be very awkward. Stick with necklaces and earrings unless you want to pop the question.
Black diamond earrings are original, something she can brag to her friends about
As for ring size can you borrow a ring from her jewellery box and trace the in side and then the outside and which ever ring you buy if it fits between those two circles should work
i am not sure she has a jewellery box, I've never seen her with any kind of a jewellery on, but I love the black diamond earrings too
Size her hand up to yours while cuddling and slyly match up her finger to yours and I'm assuming her her hand is smaller so maybe match up her finger to one of the knuckles on your ring finger or pinky finger? That could work
idd get her a size 5 because you can always have it made smaller or bigger and size 5 is the best size to get adjusted... my mom works in a jewelry store but ummm if I were you idd go with 5 is so perfect idd cry if my boyfriend gave me that
thanks ^^

lol I d love a teenage mutant ninja turtles poster..:P
or a ck cologne
lol he's really in to fords so I got him a little decal for his phone I got him a few other things like come cologne new ear buds for his ipod 2 packs of the kinda socks he wares because he is always complaining he doesn't have enough socks I got him a picture of us and put it in this little dorky frame and a few other things a copy of cars 2 (we whent to the mid night showing of it together) stuff like that
Find someone who has similar size hands as her? and usually they exchange it if it's not the right size (ask them when you buy it if it's possible) or you can take it somewhere else where they make it to her size after you give it to her.
& I like link number five. :]! with link number two. :]!
wow, after reading the other answers... everybody wants the same one's as me! EWK!
Okay I want link 3 better now. LOL Get her 3. :]!
I chose link one (the earrings) but mostly because I don't wear necklaces that often. What you get for your girl though is totally dependent on what you think she would like, of course.
As far as finding out her ring size...does she have a mom or sisters or any girl friends available that could help? The other answerers are right...if she has any rings you could sneak, you can get them sized at a jewelers! (or you could just make an educated guess and she can always get it resized)

Ongoing publisher inattention to e-book quality is highly annoying
March 13, 2011 | 8:35 pm
By Chris Meadows
Update: Diane Duane has written an interesting piece in response, that I will cover in full when I have time.
I was going to bring this up in my review of the Nook Reader app, but realized that doing so would be putting the blame in the wrong place.
When I was reading the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane on the Nook Reader, I ran into this particularly egregious typo in the first chapter of So You Want to Be a Wizard. "The reader is invited to examine the next Jew chapters…"
And it was not the last. Characters might enjoy meals of "arroz con polio", or instead of arch-adversary the Lone Power go up against "the Tone Power". Occasionally entire words would simply be missing.
Up to this point, I hadn't bought a lot of e-books from either Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Apart from DRM-free Baen, my commercial purchases had been from eReader and Fictionwise, and I never discovered a typo in any of those books. I had thought that some of the other complaints about e-book quality I'd heard elsewhere (including Joanna's famous rant about hurting authors back in the Amazon-vs.-Macmillan days, or her more recent examination of four Kobo books for errors) might have been exaggerated. But now I buy my first complete series from Barnes & Noble and discover multiple errors in every book.
And it's not B&N's fault either. I downloaded the sample chapters of So You Want to Be a Wizard from Amazon and found the "Jew" typo there as well. The error was not introduced by the e-book vendor, but was present in the e-book file provided by the publisher. In fact, as I understand it, e-book stores can't change anything in the e-books they sell without the publisher's consent—so even if they wanted to fix the typos themselves, they couldn't without the publisher's explicit say-so.
Why are publishers providing these flawed, faulty scans? It doesn't make sense. The whole point of a publisher is to be able to take an author's book and polish it so there aren't any mistakes, because selling a typo-riddled paper book would reflect poorly on both author and publisher. To that end, publishers employ hundreds of people in structures organized for the sole purpose of scrutinizing submitted manuscripts for mistakes—and writers get proofs and advance copies to eliminate errors in printed books before they get printed.
Why on earth are publishers not sending their e-books back through those editing structures on the way out? If they don't have enough people, they could hire more. Even running an e-book past one person would be an improvement, because it's hard to believe that this kind of error could go uncaught if scanned by living eyes.
I don't have any way of knowing what percentage of e-books actually have this kind of error. These, and all the others that people complain about, might just be anecdotal evidence and the vast majority of e-books, that people don't complain about, might still be all right. But looking at it another way, any typo-filled e-book is too many. We don't tolerate any typos in printed books, so why should we tolerate them in e-books?
Are they just not taking the e-book market seriously yet because it's still small compared to the paper market? I suppose that makes a kind of sense. I'm not going to fall into the conspiracy-theory trap of assuming publishers are trying to harm the e-book market to promote the print market, because that doesn't make sense—and it also makes more sense not to ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence.
But publishers really ought to get their act together. Releasing e-books full of typos makes them look bad both to authors and consumers, and publishers depend on the one for their source material and the other for their money. Authors might decide to take their books elsewhere if the publishers prove incapable of doing a good job with them—including publishing them themselves on Amazon or Barnes & Noble where they can keep more of the royalties.
And consumers might decide to stop buying poor-quality books. Or they might decide to go to peer-to-peer where the books will not only be free, but they'll at least sometimes be higher quality too. Since many of those who contribute e-book scans to peer-to-peer do care about how efforts associated with them look, they'll take the time to edit.
The sad thing is that the current infrastructure of Internet-connected readers would make it possible to get these errors fixed quickly and cheaply, if publishers and e-booksellers could be sold on the idea. After all, they're already sending data back upstream if only to let the Amazon servers keep track of where we left off reading. Why not take a cue from Distributed Proofing and Wikipedia and let us submit corrections?
I know that if it didn't take too much effort, I'd be happy to correct errors I came across for free, and I'll bet a lot of other people would, too. If it were a simple matter of just tapping a couple of keys to change that capital "J" into a lower-case "f" and click "submit", why wouldn't I want to?
There could be someone at the e-book store or publisher whose job would be to review the corrections, and perhaps he would also be able to call up the original scan or photograph of the printed page and compare it to make sure that the fix was correct. Once the fix was applied, a corrected version could be made available in the store and pushed out to all the people who'd already bought it, (To save on constant updates, they might be generated just on a weekly or monthly basis.)
Eric Raymond said that "to many eyes, all bugs are shallow." All typos could be shallow, too. It would take less manpower at the publisher, wouldn't be that much work for people reading the books, and would result in better quality books overall. Of course, it's probably never going to happen—and as long as publishers continue to let poor-quality e-books slip out, that's a pity.

How much to price an ebook? An old debate revisited
Voice Dream text-to-speech reader to appear for Android in August
What? Robots threaten ME? Here's how I'd use one to write TeleRead posts
At this point there is really no rational course for the ebook reading consumer except to completely boycott the large traditional publishers.
In truth the publishers have so little regard for us, the readers, that they won't even hire a handful of english majors fresh out of college to proof read their ebook conversions. It's cheaper to just run the book through an automated scanner then hit it with OCR and a quick spell check to pick up non-words but leave false word substitutions behind.
The situation is so bad right now with DRM, Region Restrictions, Poor Quality, Agency Pricing and Device Lockdown that I would advise people to buy books directly from authors or from small publishers who respect the reader.
If you absolutely must read an ebook from a major publisher then you learn how to find it for free and send $5 payment direct to the author.
My jaw just dropped: "The reader is invited to examine the next Jew chapters…"
I find that there are more typos and incorrect words in newly published books across medium. Clearly editing is no longer the priority it should be.
Do I think your idea that readers send in corrections and they're reviewed on some kind of regular cycle is a good idea? Yes. Do I think it's likely to happen? The cynic in me says no. Here's hoping I'm wrong.
Editors are still editing, but they are correcting files used to produce print pages. I think it's clear fiction publishers will need to move to a single-source publishing system, just like information providers did a decade or more ago, when the web became the preferred delivery mechanism. Converting pint books via OCR or even from PDF does not produce good, reliable results. Novels need to become data, stored in XML or SGML repositories and corrected once when errors are found. Then they can be output in Mobi, or ePub, or pay-layout format as needed.
I've worked with the Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders project (http://www.pgdp.net) off and on since about 2003, and *those* books are thoroughly proofread for any discrepancies between the scanned text and the electronic text. If I worked for a publishing company, I'd be pretty embarrassed that a crew of volunteers is better at producing error-free ebooks than my company, which presumably employs at least a few professional proofreaders (probably on a freelance basis, but still…).
I read a lot of ebooks, and I often find the quality lacking. It's not just scanning errors, either; it's silly things like a non-fiction book not having links in the table of contents, so you can't skip ahead to a different chapter if you want. I end up bookmarking chapters I pass while I'm skimming, so that I can go back to them later.
…oh, and I really like Karen's idea (her post wasn't showing yet when I was composing mine) about XML or SGML. I went to a presentation once by some guys who were doing exactly that for a university (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, IIRC): Everything from the course catalog to marketing brochures was dropped into an XML document that could then be output to the university's website, or to DTP software for print production, or whatever. It was brilliant.
I'm sorry, but I'm damned if I'm going to pay $9.99 or more for the privilege of doing a Big Publishing House's editing job for them. If they want me to pay lots of money for an ebook, they're going to have to prove to me that they're adding value to compensate for the DRM-crippled books they're selling me.
Mention the problems you find in a customer review at the site where you bought the ebook. If the publishers ignore it, at least you've warned future purchasers.
The problem with mentioning quality problems in customer reviews is that you're limited to doing so on sites that actually provide a spot for customer reviews (which leaves out Sony) and don't remove/refuse to post critical ones (which leaves out B&N and Kobo), which basically limits you to Amazon, and (a) not everybody checks Amazon for reviews prior to buying from somewhere else and (b) some problems are store-specific (I know of cases where both Sony and Kobo aren't just selling error-riddled copies, they're selling error-riddled copies of *a different book than you think you're buying*, while Amazon at least sells the correct file).
It's not necessarily always the publishers fault (at least not totally).
I've got six books from Kobo with errors (words run together, completely missing italics, etc.) that the publisher has sent them new files for twice yet they've failed to replace the bad files. When first discovered I did some checking and the errors only occur at Kobo. The same books from elsewhere are fine. This has been going on since September and they haven't done anything except their "support" has marked the ticket as closed. I've been in touch with Michael Tamblyn their VP for content a couple of times throughout this (including after Joanna's post here http://www.teleread.com/paul-biba/the-biggest-ebook-issue-quality/) and he's done nothing either from what I can tell. Yet after all this time the books are still being offered for sale.
It seems self evident that it is indeed the Publishers who are at fault. They are the ones supplying the files to the vendor. They are the ones accepting 75% and giving 25% to the author. Whatever the reasons they have no excuse except a carelessness and shoddy attitude to customers.
Publishers don't just get it wrong in ebooks either. The Faber Finds series of warmed-over backlist titles, for instance, has the most atrocious typos, obviously based on poorly edited scans. But Gutenberg is not innocent either. Take a look at most of their ePub versions of older poetry titles. The result is usually unreadable.
Yet what you are seeing in publisher-provided ebooks, you also see in many, if not the majority or more, of indie ebooks, even those that are backlist files provided by the authors at places like Smashwords. I'm currently reading an ebook by a New York Times best-selling author that is one of his older books and one that he has made available at Smashwords. It is riddled with formatting and editorial errors. The formatting errors I can live with, but the editorial errors are distracting. I'm getting closer to just deleting the book. I certainly won't buy any more of this author's ebooks.
The problem I find with the complaints is not that they aren't justified — they are — but rather how one-sided they are. The complaints are always directed at the traditional publishers, rarely at the authors, especially at the self-publishing authors. Yet the problem is not confined to the traditional publishers.
Just as the traditional publishers are cutting back on the editorial process in an attempt to increase their profit margin, so, too, do many authors who are responsible for the editing of their books now that they are bypassing the traditional publishers. And many of these self-publishing authors are selling their ebooks for the same price as traditional publishers. This is a problem that will not be resolved by simply directing one's ire at the traditional publishers.
>The complaints are always directed at the traditional publishers, rarely at the authors, especially at the self-publishing authors. Yet the problem is not confined to the traditional publishers.
Very true! I think we can safely say the problem is most often the "publisher's" fault (except when the digital seller declines to upload corrected files), but the definition of who the publisher is shifts with the situation. If you are uploading a file onto Amazon for publication as a Kindle book, you are acting as a publisher and you need to be sure the book is as error free as possible. This is true whether you are publishing the book for the first time or merely providing a digital copy of a backlist title.
>aren't just selling error-riddled copies, they're selling error-riddled copies of *a different book than you think you're buying*
I've been sold the wrong book by Barnes & Noble (though they refunded my money after a brief argument). The wrong book problem is rare, but the error-riddled copy problem is common. I'd say 95% of the e-books I buy contain multiple errors. Most of the errors seem OCR related, but not all. For example, in a Mercedes Lackey book, I ran across an obvious search/replace error (the word "agreed." stuck in after every mention of a character name for about 70 pages of the book). A basic spell-check would fix many of the problems I see.
This issue is even more discouraging than the DRM issue because it could be so easily resolved.
"For example, in a Mercedes Lackey book, I ran across an obvious search/replace error (the word "agreed." stuck in after every mention of a character name for about 70 pages of the book)."
Ha! This reminds me of an ebook I read recently in which every instance of "ADD" had been replaced with "AD/HD." Unfortunately, the find-and-replacer hadn't matched the case, so every instance of "additional" was "ad/hditional."
I think every ebook would benefit from a final proofread as part of the production process. This seems like very basic quality control to me, and I don't understand why it seems to be done so infrequently… which is pretty much what all of us seem to be saying here. But this has been a common complaint since the early days of ebooks, and it just seems to be getting worse as more books are published electronically. My impression is that the big publishers, who know better, don't care, and the small publishers & self-publishers might care, but might not have the resources to have it done professionally or to do it themselves.
I work at an online medical publishers in the formatting dept, we got taken over a couple of years ago by one of the big players, and now they've fully subsumed our tools and business, 70% of us are being laid off in the next few months. apparently all the editorial and production jobs are going to be handled cheaper and in more volume by outsourcing. What they fail to take into consideration is that a lot of it is outsourced already, and most of editorial and production (my dept) work is catching all the errors that the outsourcers miss.
Simple reason? they're paid by volume and speed. Which means automation, (spell checking and grammar as well as formatting) *not* double checking the layout (we have a four-line list of basic, easily caught errors, 20% of all files come back with these) and shoving stuff through if it looks vaguely okay. At arms' length.
And it's always more expensive to fix the errors *after* publication than before.
Let's hope they've got the foresight to ramp up the customer complaints dept.
(In passing.)
The impression I have is that between Amazon's Walmart-style price pressure on publishers and the small number of sales likely for a reprint edition of a fairly old book, the money just isn't there to redo all the copyediting. If the ebook production wasn't done upfront, at the first edition, then it's only going to be done as Diane Duane is actually doing it–as a labor of love.
and yet the Big Publishers try to tell us that their editorial input is what justifies the additional $$$ they're charging for electronic files. Yeah, right. Just like file prices will go down once the paperback is released. sure.
Indeed becca – and not only that but haven't I read a lot in recent years about publishers who won't market any more and insist the author does most of the marketing ? Sounds like a interesting strategy .. abandon editorial checks, abandon marketing and charge the same percentage. It's no wonder they are riding the back of a dinosaur.
"Amazon's Walmart-style price pressure on publishers"
Tell us more please ..
And while you're at it tell us why, if "the money just isn't there to redo all the copyediting" they have the bloody cheek to persist in charging full price for a defective product ?
@Randolph, that doesn't explain errors in newly issued stuff. A brand new Harper Collins release I bought a few months ago had enough errors in it to fill eleven pages in Word. Now after I notified the editor they fixed it (took about two months), but they also continued to sell it with the errors too (I suppose at that point with it being a new release they felt they had to???). I paid the same for that book as someone buying a print copy (more really, because I could have gotten the print version at a discount).
I'm sure it can be hard for publishers too. Everyone want their favorite authors backlist out NOW and so publishers are trying to come up with cost effective ways to get those backlists out fairly quickly however current methods are often unsatisfactory.
I don't know what's wrong with the new books–it sounds like the publishers are simply cheaping out. As to backlist books and pricing, though, Walmart, er, Amazon wants to be able to set the prices of ebooks–they expect the publishers to absorb the cuts that Amazon is pushing on them. The result of this with Walmart has been vast amounts of poor-quality, in some cases dangerous products, and a huge transfer of manufacturing work to China: this is the only way to meet Walmart's pricing demands. I don't see how good editorial and design work can be outsourced to China or India, so, who knows? Ultimately, if no-one is willing to pay for good-quality books, there will be far fewer good-quality books.
I agree with this article. I pre-ordered Melissa Marr's "Darkest Mercy" (HarperCollins) from B&N and was very excited to read it on its release date in February. It is the final book in her series and the first time I have purchased a book from this series as an ebook instead of buying the hardback.
To my grave disappointment, this ebook was so full of formatting errors that it significantly interfered with my enjoyment of the story. There were strange line breaks in the middle of paragraphs or words that made no sense. I stopped counting these line breaks when I reached 50.
I called B&N customer service to tell them about the errors. I was told as a seller they are not allowed to correct formatting issues when customers bring them to their attention because to correct the file they receive from the publisher is a violation of copyright. The best they could do was refund my $9.99, which I told them to do. For just 20 cents more I could have purchased the hardcover from Amazon and no doubt would have received a nicely formatted version!
Silly me: I had thought that buying the ebook would have meant getting the same quality as the print book in terms of being well-formatted. I hear some people complain when the ebook they downloaded from a pirated source contains typos and poor formatting. I was unsympathetic because, people, you get what you pay for.
But here I purchased from a legitimate source that came to the vendor direct from a major publishing house… and it's as rough and unpolished as any scanned book. This is ridiculous. Whether it's an ebook or print book, publishers should make sure their customers receive a quality book.
Fascinating. I am reading this article in 2014 after being concerned with exactlly the same problem in eBooks purchased for my new Nook reader. Three years after the article I'm sad to report that the situation is, if anything, worse.
Barnes & Noble offer a great number of free eBooks for the Nook. Perhaps 90% of these have been obtained from the Google Library Project, and one must therefore assume, were scanned under Google's direction.
Scanned, but apparently not prrof-read even once. The books are riddled with scan errors and OCR artifacts to the point where — after downloading a sampling of more than 80 books, I found 90% of them to be unreadable. Whole lines and pages of random characters have been insterted, and whole words, lines, and pages of text omitted or scrambled.
In the science books — Einstein's original papers on Relativity Theory stand our — the equations have been rendered into complete gibberish by these errors.
The bulk of the blame for this has to fall on the Google Library Project, the efforts of which not only fail to meet its stated goal of preserving these books and making them easily accessible on-line references, but are, in fact, actively undermining that goal. Google is not "preserving" these texts, is it DESTROYING them through negligence.
Barnes & Noble, however, must share some of the blame here. They contracted with Google to be able to provide these texts, to beef up the number of free eBooks they were offering (presumably to compete with Amazon's Kindle). However, Barnes & Noble has apparently eschewed any quality control responsibility for the free eBooks is it offering. The result is that they are, in effect, perpetrating a sham. Providing a half-million unreadable eTexts for its customers is no more use than artificially inflating their list of available books by simply making up thousand of bogus titles.
Anyone who loves books, and accurate information, should be deeply concerned about this.

Studio: Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
Summary: Derek Thompson (Dwayne "The Rock"
Johnson) is a hard-charging minor league hockey player whose "Tooth
Fairy" nickname comes from his ability to knock out other players' teeth.
When his dream-crushing attitude gets out of control, he is ordered to one
week's hard labor as the real Tooth Fairy. Will he eventually adapt to his new
position and see the error of his ways?
Review: This movie received some pretty miserable reviews.
Some reviewers did make good points about the film's shortcomings (could Billy
Crystal's cameo be any less funny?), but overall, this is a movie about the
Tooth Fairy–what were viewers expecting? Director Michael Lembeck didn't set
out to craft a film about Nelson Mandela or curing a rare genetic disorder. He
made a slightly campy, often corny family film that is mild enough and
enjoyable enough for the whole family to view together.
Make no mistake:
without The Rock, this film would be unwatchable. Johnson is once again great
in this family-focused fare, and his self-depreciating humor saves the day more
than once. Besides, his awe-inspiring size paired up with fairy wings and a
tutu is just absurd enough to be funny.
Obviously, kids will have a blast
laughing at the high-jinx (and the tutu), but don't be so sure you won't be
giggling at some of the film's silliness as well. So overlook the tired clichs
and puns ("Charles Darwing"), and just enjoy the film for what it is
and nothing more: a harmless, humorous flick you can watch with all the kids
and forget about more pressing matters for 102 minutes.
Extra highlight: Flights, Tights and Fairy FX – How The
Magic Was Brought To Life
What to serve for dinner: Let's make the Tooth Fairy angry
and serve up a bunch of plaque-inducing goodies: starch-laden spaghetti with
stain-creating marinara sauce, followed up with a version of The Rock's
favorite snack, donuts a la mode.
Marinara Sauce (Giada De Laurentiis, Food.com)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 small onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 (32-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 dried bay leaves
In a large casserole pot, heat the oil over a medium-high
flame. Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions are translucent,
about 10 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, and 1/2 teaspoon of each salt and
pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the
tomatoes and bay leaves, and simmer uncovered over low heat until the sauce
thickens, about 1 hour. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season the sauce with
more salt and pepper, to taste. (The sauce can be made one day ahead. Cool,
then cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before using.) Serve over
spaghetti noodles, cooked according to package directions.
Donuts (Cooks.com)
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
2 tbsp. melted shortening
1 1/2 c. sifted flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. seedless raisins
Vegetable shortening for frying
Blend together 1/3 cup sugar, milk, egg and melted
shortening. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; add to liquid mixture
and stir lightly. Mix in raisins. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls into shortening heated to 365
degrees. Fry 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. In a
bag, mix 1/4 cup sugar and 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon. Shake warm donuts
in bag to coat. Serve in a bowl with a scoop–or two or three–of vanilla bean
ice cream. The real stuff, not the fat-free variety.
If you're feeling really naughty, have seconds with dessert
and don't even floss before bed tonight either.
What to talk about over dinner: What are your first memories
of the Tooth Fairy? How much did you get for your lost teeth? When did you lose
your first tooth? How has The Rock gone from more physical action-hero roles to
a family-flick guy? Is he better in this genre? Why? How could this movie be
better? Did you cringe or laugh at the puns? What did you think of Julie
Andrews' role? Do you know anyone who may need to be taught a lesson about
life? Are you afraid of the dentist? Do you floss? No really, do you? What's
your favorite brand of toothpaste

9 Sweet Ways To Have Maple Syrup for Breakfast
If you can't make it to a cabane à sucre, fear not, we've got 9 ways to get your morning maple fix. More
If you can't make it to a cabane à sucre, fear not, we've got 9 ways to get your morning maple fix. More
I am now the proud adoptive parent of a Vermont maple tree. We haven't seen each other in person yet, but I'm sure that she's growing tall and strong. I'm positive she's sweet natured and bringing joy to others. I really couldn't be more proud. More
Swirling a few tablespoons of maple syrup into the batter give these buttery bars an extra maple kick. More
This ice cream works a lot like vanilla bean—gently but assertively spiced with floral, fruity, and citrusy flavors working in tandem. It's a good general purpose ice cream but with a point of view all its own. The way mulled wine should be. More
I'm not usually a big fan of pancakes, but I am a big fan of whole grains. Whole wheat flour with a little roughly ground oats thrown in makes fluffy, tasty pancakes. Tart roasted rhubarb compote is a lovely alternative to pure maple syrup. More
A layer of maple, a layer of butterscotch, and a crown of glorious black walnut whipped cream. Need we say more? More
There are days when I make myself tropical sweets and pretend I'm somewhere warm. And there are days when I give in and say, hey, it's still comfort food season, pass the pancakes. This was one of those days. More
Before you switch gears to holiday flavors, make these autumnal breakfast buns. A sweet eggy dough is filled with cinnamon sugar and brushed with a sticky-sweet maple glaze. More
This ice cream is all maple, all the time—the perfect thing to top a slice of warm pie—or a piece of French toast. More
The rich, dark sweetness of maple is lovely all year round, but we particularly love it in winter. It plays well with other seasonal flavors—apple and maple or maple and cinnamon being classic combinations—but it works just as well to sweeten up often savory ingredients, such as rosemary or bacon. Here are nine maple desserts we're fond of, from maple graham crackers to caramels to cookies and ice cream. More
If you're wondering how to entice a bunch of guys to eat cupcakes, the answer is pretty simple: add bacon. David Arrick, founder of New York's Butch Bakery and author of The Butch Bakery Cookbook, found this out pretty quickly and used this formula to create these Driller Cupcakes, maple cupcakes topped with milk chocolate ganache and candied bacon. More
Maple syrup is one of those products of the human endeavor that make me glad we've ascended to where we have on the food chain. It embodies our communion with nature, because we have two parties to thank. The maple trees, of course, which tirelessly share sticky sap in forest cathedrals. And the flannel-clad men and women who fire great furnaces of transformation, who alchemize that sap into amber syrup. More
I knew that I wanted to include a hint of sea salt in my caramels. It really balances the sweetness and intensifies the butter taste. But I also wanted to flavor them with something else—something seasonal and unique. Maple syrup fit the bill. A generous half cup infused my caramels with pure, sweet, fall flavor. Each bite is salty, chewy, and full of maple sugar. More
When I first heard about the maple bacon biscuit ($3.75) at Huckleberry, the Santa Monica bakery and cafe, I figured, it's just the token bacon thing for all the bacon heads. There are plenty of other scrumptious-looking baked goods sitting there behind the glass counter. But I was a sucker, and ordered the darn biscuit—and it was amazing. More

Bill Evans
Bill Evans knows it won't be easy to persuade New Brunswickers to vote for increased taxes and spending cuts when they head to the polls later this month. But the NDP candidate for Tantramar insists it's time for voters to start making some tough choices at a time when the province is facing a ballooning deficit and an $8-billion debt load.
"That's not the kind of thing anyone wants to campaign on but it's the only honest answer," says Evans.
He says the Liberals and Conservatives are making too many promises in this election campaign that they won't be able to keep because the government simply doesn't have the revenue stream to support the additional expenditures without raising taxes.
"You can't spend more money, reduce taxes and balance the books," says Evans, a network analyst with computing services at Mount Allison, who graduated from the same university in 1972 with an honours degree in economics.
Evans points out that the NDP's main commitments will be to maintain front-line health care and education services. But his party is making very few promises other than that except to guarantee that, if elected, they will work with their constituents to begin putting the province back on track.
"We're going to have to have a serious conversation with New Brunswickers, recognizing that we're in a bad place financially and we got here by Liberal and Conservative mis-management.
Evans says his party would put a stop to the next three years of Liberal tax cuts, which have mainly benefited large corporations and the wealthiest New Brunswickers.
"That's hundreds of millions of dollars lost in tax revenue."
Evans, a longtime community activist and labour leader in Sackville, is in his 11th year as president of the Mount Allison Staff Association and recently completed the maximum number of terms on the board of the Sackville Memorial Hospital Foundation. He says he believes good government is important, but for it to work effectively it requires an engaged citizenry.
"Too many people don't vote. And too many people don't know what's going on in their name."
Evans says his decision to run in this campaign ultimately stemmed from a move two years ago by the Liberals and Conservatives to unanimously vote themselves an 85 per cent increase to their pensions. It surprised him to learn not one single MLA opposed the hike.
"You can't ram a bill through three readings all in one day if one person says I want to have a discussion or debate. But it was unanimous . . . every single MLA, Liberal and Conservative, voted to line their pockets. And this is when we have an $800 million deficit and an $8 billion debt. This is their idea of leadership and I think it's disgraceful."
He says the NDP government would put forward a private members' bill to reduce the exorbitant payout amounts. The bill would trim MLA's salaries by 20 per cent and pensions by 50 per cent.
Evans says he is also frustrated with the wasteful spending on business developments that don't pan out, leaving millions of dollars of debt left on the books from grants and loan guarantees. He'd rather see smaller, well-established businesses be rewarded for their efforts towards expanding or hiring new employees.
The high illiteracy rate in the province is also a huge concern for Evans, showing a clear need to address issuesin the education system.
"We've got real problems and we can only solve them if we have an honest conservation about it," he says. "I think we can do better."
"And I think if people want an alternative to the Liberal and Conservative same-old, same-old, then I'm prepared to be that alternative."

Zayn's spokesperson confirmed: "Zayn and Perrie are engaged, but any further detail regarding their relationship is private and we ask media to please respect this."
Perrie's mum, Debbie, told the Dorset Echo: "It's official. I'm over the moon. They are really in love.'
Debbie went on to say that Perrie, 20, had been reluctant to make an official announcement before the premiere, as she was concerned it'd overshadow the One Direction movie premiere.
She said: "It's wonderful because Zayn is absolutely gorgeous. It's true they got engaged on Sunday and it's absolutely lovely."
Debbie concluded: "Perrie loves him to pieces and it's perfect. They get on so well together and understand each other. It's just fabulous."
The pair began dating in 2011 after One Direction made an appearance on Little Mix's year on The X Factor.
Their relationship was rocked by claims earlier this year after a waitress claimed she'd slept with Zayn whilst Little Mix were on tour.
However, the pair sorted their differences and seem to be stronger than ever.
Most recently, Zayn, 20, had a cartoon of Perrie tattooed on his arm. Whilst it's not a direct portrait of Perrie, Zayn explained that the image represented 'all the things he likes most' about his new fiancee.
A source told The Mirror: "It was so romantic - Zayn popped the question over the weekend when they were alone together.
"It's one of the first weekends they've spent with each other, as they've both been on tours with their bands.
"He wanted to wait for the perfect moment."
And it would seem that Perrie was forced to wait to tell her Little Mix band mates as they were partying in the Virgin Media Louder Lounge at V Festival this weekend when Zayn got down on one knee.
The source continued: "All her bandmates were at V Festival, and she couldn't wait to tell them. They're all really excited for her, as the rest of One Direction are for Zayn."
Aw congratulations guys!

The contract between the parties relating to an oil concession in Libya had been frustrated by the nationalisation of the field.
Held: The court considered the setting of damages where the plaintiff had delayed in notifying the defendant of the claim. Interest is awarded not as a punishment but to compensate a claimant for having been deprived of the money which was due to him, though: "The basic principle, is, however, that interest will be awarded from the date of loss."
are (a) receipt by the defendant of a benefit (b) at the plaintiff's expense, (c) in such circumstances that would be unjust to allow the defendant to retain the benefit."
In a claim for unjust enrichment, the formulation of the requirements of the cause of action are: (a) receipt by the defendant of a benefit (b) at the plaintiff's expense, (c) in such circumstances that would be unjust to allow the defendant to retain the benefit.
Rober Goff K discussed the calculation of damages under the 1943 Act: "A crucial question, on which the Act is surprisingly silent, is this: what bearing do the terms of the contract, under which the plaintiff has acted, have on the assessment of the just sum? First, the terms on which the work was done may serve to indicate the full scope of the work done, and so be relevant to the sum awarded in respect of such work. For example, if I do work under a contract under which I am to receive a substantial prize if successful, and nothing if I fail, and the contract is frustrated before the work is complete but not before a substantial benefit has been obtained by the defendant, the element of risk taken by the plaintiff may be held to have the effect of enhancing the amount of any sum to be awarded. Secondly, the contract consideration is always relevant as providing some evidence of what will be a reasonable sum to be awarded in respect of the plaintiff's work. Thus if a prospector, employed for a fee, discovers a gold-mine before the contract under which he is employed is frustrated (for example, by illegality or by his illness or disablement) at a time when his work was incomplete, the court may think it just to make an award in the nature of a reasonable fee for what he has done (though of course the benefit obtained by the defendant will be far greater), and a rateable part of the contract fee may provide useful evidence of the level of sum to be awarded. If, however, the contract had provided that he was to receive a stake in the concession, then the just sum might be enhanced on the basis that, in all the circumstances, a reasonable sum should take account of such a factor: cf Way v Latilla [1937] 3 All ER 759. Thirdly, however, the contract consideration, or a rateable part of it, may provide a limit to the sum to be awarded. To take a fairly extreme example, a poor householder or a small businessman may obtain a contract for building work to be done to his premises at considerably less than the market price, on the basis that he cannot afford to pay more. In such a case, the court may consider it just to limit the award to a rateable part of the contract price, on the ground that it was the understanding of the parties that in no circumstances (including the circumstances of the contract being frustrated) should the plaintiff recover more than the contract price or a rateable part of it. Such a limit may properly be said to arise by virtue of the operation of s 2(3) of the Act. But it must not be forgotten that, unlike money, services can never be restored, nor usually can goods, since they are likely to have been either consumed or disposed of, or to have depreciated in value; and since, ex hypothesi, the defendant will only have been prepared to contract for the goods or services on the basis that he paid no more than the contract consideration, it may be unjust to compel him, by an award under the Act, to pay more than that consideration, or a rateable part of it, in respect of the services or goods he has received. It is unnecessary for me to decide whether this will always be so; but it is likely that in most cases this will impose an important limit on the sum to be awarded: indeed it may well be the most relevant limit to an award under s 1(3) of the Act. "
. . And, as to the award of statutory interest under the 1838 Act: "Another matter which is generally ignored is the financial situation of the plaintiff; it should generally make no difference even if, for example, it could be shown that a plaintiff in a personal injury action was a person who would simply have paid the damages, if received earlier, into his current account at the bank which was permanently in credit."

love the touch less trash can, hopefully it lastsRead More
Best buy!
Best trash can. Bought this several years ago and it still works. Batteries last forever. Great buy!!Read More
Great Purchase!
I like this trash can. I like stainless steel and it's nice to have a top that opens with the wave of a hand. As small as my laundry room is, though, sometimes it catches me by surprise when I accidentally get too close and it opens. It keeps me on my toes!Read More
Wonderful trash can.
Perfect when your cooking so you can throw away items without touching the trash. Works like a charm.Read More
All of my friends know me as the person to come to for recommendations and I was excited about this product until about 3 months after using it. It just stopped working!! I went through 2 packs of new batteries rationalizing that it "might be the batteries" but it is definitely the unit! I have exchanged it twice and had to pay shipping to do that. I couldn't be any more disappointed with this purchase. And since it was my first one from Overstock. I am a little leery of purchasing anything else.Read More
Touchless Trash Can
Keep away from this product. Uses too many batteries (4 "D" cells. Dosen't last, I've had one for 3 years and it won't function anymore. Wrote to the company no help, they wanted to sell me new parts for almost what I paid for the whole unit. Not a good company to deal with.Read More
Happy husband!
This is our second touchless garbage can. It was a dream come true for my husband when we found one of these at a store about 2 years ago. He always despised having to open the lid of the garbage can with one hand as he tossed stuff in with the other. He always complained that he wanted a touch free can. So this can was exactly what he wanted.When we saw this can advertised at Overstock, we quickly bought another one. Surprisingly, this can is much quieter than our original can and a lot less sensitive. The first one we owned opened up every time we walked by, but this one waits until you truly need to throw something away before it opens wide. It is a bit shorter than our old can, but a tad wider so it still takes a 13 gallon kitchen bag as before. I like the sleek narrow look to the can.Admittedly, our old can broke after about 2 years on the job. We just couldn't do without it so we bought another one. We had only changed the batteries once, and that was quite recently. Why did it break? Not entirely sure.... One thing you will notice is that little kids will be so mesmerized by the can, that they wil automatically try pushing down on the lid to shut it. I definitely think that is a No-No and may help to weaken the lid. I'm assuming that is what eventually did mine in. I highly recommend this product. We were so pleased with our original that we bought a second one.Read More
iTouch trashcan
I love this new trashcan. When we are all becoming more aware of e coli and germs in our homes, this is the best idea ever to help stop the spread of germs, especially in the kitchen. I recently had company come over (age of group around 20-24 years old) and they were fascinated with this trashcan. It works perfectly each time I put my hand near it. It's not that hard to change the bag either. I love that my son can no longer leave the lid up. I used to put the old lid down constantly because he would leave it up. I don't even think about it anymore. One thing I don't like is the lid of a trashcan open when not being used. I highly recommend this product. You can't beat the price either. Comes packaged very well so it won't be damaged in shipping.Read More
iTouchless 13 Gal Stainless Steel Auto. Trash Can
I just love this trash can!! Whatever I am doing in the kitchen, this has got to be the best thing I have!! You do not have to touch the garbage can while you are preparing a meal. The mess of preparing your meals is easier as all you have to do, is wave your hand over the garbage can & the lid pops open. You drop your garbage in, the lid closes automatically. Closing the garbage bag is just as easy. This garbage can is oval campared to the round. Seems the oval is easier to remove the garbage. I tried the round one, but, the oval is better.Read More

can this trash can be set for lock to prevent a dog from opening
Hello Steven W., this item does not feature a lock funtion. However, this item can be turned off so pets cannot open it accidentially. Thank you for shopping with us.
My lid suddenly began opening & closing constantly ALL BY ITSELF; will not stop! So I had to unplug it, and now, of course, the lid must be opened & closed manually. Overstock, what is the name & contact info of the manufacturer? If this cannot be fixed, then I have wasted $69 on a defective product.
Hello lisa32217, you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
Is this item new or refurbished?
Hello Flygirl, this item is sold as new. Thank you for shopping with us.
Why did you choose this product?
The reviews on it.
It's square and tall enough
I bought one from Overstock several years ago and I love it. I just need a new one.
I own one now, but the cover broke and it will cost almost as much to replace the cover. I love these trash cans and overstock is one of the cheapest places to buy one on the internet.
Ordered as a Bridal shower gift. Bride-to-be had a similar one on her registry list from "Bed, Bath & Beyond" but this one is just a nice and $80+ cheaper.
Because it's touchless!!! I am always satisfied with products I buy from Overstock!
right size and price. do not have to touch lid sanitary
Replacing similar product purchased several years ago, which finally wore out. I like the deodorizer that the previous model did not have and the price was the best I found for the same product.
I purchased this product because it had good reviews, it is what I was looking for, and I believe the price is reasonable. The 10% off coupon didn't hurt either.
touchless and filtered
touchless and fresh scent
prevents odor
price & appearance
I have one that is 10 years old and it finally gave out.
I had one before, it got damaged in a move. It was excellent.
The one I have is almost 10 yrs old n is going. Love it n time for a new one.
My daughter has a similar one. I think this is similar or the same.
can i purchase the ac adapter and extra deoderizers
Hello majordad, unfortunately, we do not currently offer the ac adapter and extra deodorizers. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for shopping with us!
Can I buy just the touchless lid?
Thank you for your inquiry, tracy793. Unfortunately, we do not offer the touchless lid as a stand alone item at this time. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you for shopping with us.
Buy it. Great product.
I wouldn't buy this. After 2 months touch less lid stopped working. It's also too small even for a family of 2.
You can buy at itouchless website, but costs almost as much as whole new unit.
How long does it stay open? Can you have it to stay open when you are doing a lot of cooking cleaning etc?
it is triggered by a sensor and stays open for a couple of seconds then closes automatically
Open then turn the on/off switch on the back to off. Turn back on when done.
Mine stays open for about five seconds, which is plenty of time. I often use the on/off switch when I know I know I'll be using it frequently.
There is an open and close button as well as the sensor. If you use the open button it will stay open till you push the close button.
You can open it and turn off the switch until you have finished cooking and then re-engage.
I push the open button and it stays open until I am done with it. it is a great value and durable.
What is the number for the AC adaptor?
Hello sebas12, The item number for the AC adaptor is ACNXSX. Thanks for shopping with us.
didn't know it had an ac adapter. Mine works on batteries. I only have to change them like once a year.
Can I buy just the retainer ring? My new cleaning people threw it out this week.
yes, if you contact the parent company.
Does this have a "liner" can inside or just the ring to hold the trash bag in place? Is the top made of plastic?
Hello westiecrazy, The can has a bag retainer ring to hold the bag in place. The top is plastic and the body is stainless steel. Thanks for shopping with us!
it just has the ring.
Just the top black ring
No liner, just the ring to hold a bag in place.
It has the wide black plastic ring that sits on a ridge portruding slightly inwards near the top of the trash can, but the bottom is also heavy duty black plastic like the lid. The opening is more than wide enough for me to empty my Dyson bagless container into it.
Just a ring to hold the bag in. It is a great garbage can.
There is a plastic square "ring" to hold the bag in. I really like this thing. There is an actual bottom to the trash can
Is this made-in-usa product?
Thanks for your interest, this iTouchless 13-gallon Deodorizer Filtered Stainless Steel Sensor Trash Can is made in China.
It is an excellent product! I like it because it is hands-free and it holds a lot.
what size batteries does this trashcan use? It is a gift & I would like to provide them.
Thank you for your interest. As indicated in the details, "Powered by four (4) D-size batteries or optional AC power adaptor (both not included)." Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
D batteries and this would make a great gift. I bought several years ago and it still works great.
Size D
The 3-D Carbon Filter Gate (CFG) and deodorizer on my trashcan must have fallen off (and thus, was thrown away). Where do I purchase a replacement?
You would have to contact the manufacturer, iTouchless Housewares and Products, Inc.
Can a replacement liner be purchased for this can?
You will need to contact the manufacture for another liner. We do not have any listed on our site.
can this be used manually as well if the sensor breaks?
Yes, it can be used manually.
I have an older model that quit working which we relegated to the laundry roo. Installed a knob on the lid to make it easy to open
Where do you get the replacement charcoal for this trash can?
I sincerely apologize for the confusion, however this item does not need charcoal, it will need a 3-D Carbon Filter Gate (CFG).
Is there an on/off switch? I have dogs, worried about them getting into it?
Yes, the on/off switch is located on the back of the lid cover.
I have the most amazing dogs. When they are done eating the marrow out of their bones, they ACTUALLY go up to this can and the sensor opens the lid and they DEPOSIT their bones into it !!!! I have encouraged them to "clean up their toys" and return them to their toy baskets and to assist our therapy participants, but I never thought that they would throw out their old bones, by themselves. I LOVE IT. Now to get the AC Adapter, as this can goes through so much activity, that supplying the required "D" batteries is going to be an investment - Come on Overstock.com - why don't you carry the companion AC Adapter????? My Therapy Dogs would like to know. Fondly, Winnie the Pooh, Sir Boone and Ms. Lacey
What would the dog have to do to get it to open? i.e,. paws ON it (standing up) or just snoofling around near it? If it is turned off for pets as recommended, is it just opened manually like a regular trash can? If so, is there a "catch" that keeps it shut, or does it just rest on the bottom? Thanks!
