* Prices may differ from that shown
I have mixed feelings about this site with regard to my own buying experience and my daughter's selling experience.
I have often looked on ebay when I've been searching for something I need at reasonable cost. Some items are of course now sent post-free which is a great money saver. in itself.
But my daughter - when selling items for me - was charged ludicrous amounts which ended up with her giving her selling account up completely after they took money for relisting, plus more. The hassle of taking photos, uploading, filling in bank details and relisting, quite simply wasn't worth the trouble.
Maybe she didn't quite fill in her selling part of the account correctly but it seemed to be outrageous; as ebay appear to fool you into believing they only take 10% of your profit which isn't true.
My own buying experiences however, have proved good so far. I have bought numerous items which have been worth more than I have actually paid for them and many of those items have come by freepost.
I have also not as yet received any damaged or faulty goods, and everything has arrived quite quickly.
The only things you have to watch for are items sent from China which usually take forever though my own chinese wait came when buying something on amazon, not ebay.
I think ebay is always worth a look when you want or need something particularly before searching online for something in other shops.
Make sure you check about postage first.
Ebay.com is an auction site for U.S sellers and U.S as well as international buyers. If you are a UK seller you should register with the Ebay.co.uk site otherwise you will be billed in US dollars. I actually was previously registered with this site as I joined the site many years ago and was not aware of the registration requirements and I only recently changed my account over to the UK site. You are able to do this by contacting a representative at Ebay who will transfer your account for you and it only takes a few minutes to do.
If you are a UK resident you can easily purchase items which are listed on this American auction site as long as the listing states that international shipping is available. Prices are obviously shown in US dollars but if you use Paypal to pay for anything you buy then there is no need to be concerned about converting the currency as Paypal do it for you.
There are lots of items on Ebay.com including clothing, household items and furnishings, toys, music and film (remember that many DVDs will be Region 1 and may not play on a European DVD player), furnishings, sports items, cars, electrical items and much more. I find the site useful as it often features items that are especially hard to find in the UK. It offers an easy way to buy and pay for such items. I should point out that if you also want to search for items in the UK it's a good idea to search from the co.uk site and set options to include search results from international Ebay sites.
Ebay.com's main page is set out like a digital magazine with regular features on a particular set or collection of items. It's a clever and helpful way to introduce ideas to the consumer about style, fashion or trends and it's also very inspirational. As a buyer I'm happy with the way the site operates and also with the quality of items listed. I would recommend the site to UK buyers who are looking for something specific that they might only be able to find in the U.S.
I have been buying and selling on eBay for almost 12 months now and I must say as both a buyer and a seller eBay has its good points and some rare bad points. Using eBay to rid your house of all those unwanted possessions is great, you know what they say "one mans trash is another mans treasure". There really are some brilliant bargains to be found in the vast world of eBay buying and selling. However, some people are not as honest and trustworthy as outprselves, some are purely out to make as much money as possible without supplying much at all in return.
My advice to anyone taking their first trip around the eBay mall is to take your time! Do not rush into a purchase or get carried away in the excitement of bidding for an item. Slow down, read other buyers reviews of the seller and most importantly ALWAYS read and reread the item description before comitting to any auction or buy it now purchase.
I have always found eBAy and PayPal to be safe and secure having never encountered any problems with transactions or data protection. I feel safe shopping with eBAy as there are set procedures for items lost in the post / damaged items etc.
From buying brand new from eBay stores (well know high street chains sell on eBAy to) to buying second hand in an auction it always pays to read the information carefully and be aware of delivery times/ delays depending on which country you are ordering from).
I love eBAy now but at first I was very wary! Be warned eBAy is highly addictive once you get the bug for a bargain.
I have been buying and selling on eBay for a number of years now and have found that it seems to be losing its market to rivals Amazon and in the craft handmade market Etsy is coming through.
Ebay used to be the first port of call for me when online shopping but now even I tend to check out eBay's rivals first before making any purchases. The site itself is very straight forward and having your PayPal account linked to eBay makes your shopping experience very straight forward ,that is as long as your item arrives and you do not have to go through the lengthy process of contacting the seller and then trying to make a claim either through eBay, Paypal or Royal Mail.
Selling on eBay is not as easy as it used to be and certainly the fees have gone up and in the past year eBay have also sneakily taken a percentage of the postage fee which in my opinion is very harsh as eBay themselves have nothing to do with the posting and it's the seller that has to do all the work. Also you have the risk of the buyer who claims they have not received an item the seller looses out there and has to refund or resend and due to eBay's unfair feedback system it leaves you with no choice but to give in.
EBay`s final value fees have gone up dramatically putting sellers off and pushing them to the rival sites and with the rising costs of postage which is also likely to go up this year the buyers is less willing to pay these high costs and so starts looking elsewhere.
Yes, there are many bargains on eBay but there is also a lot of fakes and replicas and is hard to weed out the better sellers from the bad ones. I have found eBay to be very profitable and easy to buy from a few years ago, but sadly it is not for me anymore and I am encouraged to go elsewhere.
We all know about e-bay, most of us have used it to either buy something or sell something, as that is what e-bay is all about, as e-bay is technically a world wide shop that anyone can buy from, as long as they have an account with e-bay and a few extra cafeterias.
E-bay itself is online only and the site is pretty straight forward to navigate, with everything in its place and a place for everything.
The homepage is set out like any good site of its kind, showing the items in several easy to understand categories, such as 'fashion', electronics', 'leisure' and more, so that you can get to what you're looking for in seconds rather than search through he entire site. Or, to make it even easier, you can use the search bar on the top of the page in order to put in the key words of the items you're after.
When you're buying you usually have to bid, hoping to 'win' the item with the highest bid, wit each item having a 7 day auction time on them before the final bid/winner is confirmed. This can be a bit hit and miss, as all auctions really, as there is always someone out there who will pay a penny more than you bid in order to try and snatch it from you on the last minutes.
The other choice, which is not on all items, is a 'buy now' option, having a set price and postage cost for you to pay. This way you're sure to get what you want.
As for selling. This is as easy as buying. You simply upload a description of the item you are selling, add a bit if bling to it, a photograph and some impressive wording that may catch a potential buyers eye. Then you put the the item up for sale... keeping an eye on it so that you can see if anyone's interested. Sometimes you amy have to re-list items if they don't sell in the first 7 days, but this is as easy as pressing two buttons and you're done
When you sell something you pay no fees for advertising up to 20 items, but you do pay a % of sold items, 10% of the total sold each month. paying and buying is done via paypal, (other payment schemes may be available, but paypal is the safest).
In all, e-bay is an easy online shop that is a simple wayt o get rid of your old stuff as one mans junk is another mans treasure... or to be PC... one black womans old items are another Asian ladies new gifts.
I have been using eBay for years now and have found tones of great bargains along the way too. However, I really don't think I've found a better store to shop at because every time I shop there, I always find a good deal especially at Christmas time.
I have purchased both used and new items and every time I've purchased used items, they've always been good quality and clean. New items have all been good too but I think the website is very good also.
Everything is more modern and updated which makes it a lot easier to navigate through and find the things you want to find. When you search there are millions of results at times but that can help to find what you're looking for and fast but I have to admit there has been some amazing bargains out there. At Christmas time, I purchased several new items at a fraction of the price which was great especially since I was working with a budget.
However, I won't lie and say I have never had a bad experience because I have. There has been one or two times when I've purchased and item and it hasn't arrived or it hasn't been in one piece. That being said, the matters have always been dealt with either by getting a refund from the seller or by going to eBay.
I also have sold one or two items here and its been a fair experience. I still can't understand how their fees work though so don't like to sell here because the items are sold for a few pounds which isn't worth it. However, for big businesses, its probably a good site to use.
The security of the site does seem to be good however which is important and in most cases, you are protected by eBay. Though anyone buying an item should check out the feedback of a seller just to ensure they have a good track record of selling genuine items.
Overall a good site.
I have used eBay for many years now. eBay has grown to be huge and is really popular worldwide.
eBay is a site that anyone can put an item for sale on and then anyone can buy from it. It is gerneralky a np auction site where you place a bitpd on an item above the reserve, as the bids go up, the highest bidder at the close of the auction for that item wins and pays for the item. Nthe seller then sends the item to the bid winner. It is not all auction style though as more and more people set up eBay shops and have 'buy it now' items.
eBay has made PayPal a major payment method. It is generally the method you will need to pay by when buying from eBay.
I have bought so many items from eBay I could not keep track. I live on the Isle of Wight and as such there are not too many shops. eBay has made it possible god me to purchase unusual items that' are not available in my local area.
The bidding method on eBay can become a little addictive so beware. The moment you get outbid you may feel the urge to bid more and more because it starts feeling like a game you want to win, but remember it is money you are paying in the end so try not to get too caught up in the 'winning' element of it all.
Most items I have brought off of eBay have been great. A couple of items have not been as I was expecting. It is a good idea to check out the sellers feedback before bidding or buying. If you do have problems though the eBay resolution centre is really good at sorting our problems.
Ebay has been around for years now and it is used and known worldwide. It is used to buy or sell items that are unwanted but that other people can buy for a price or bid to buy them.I have been using it a few years myself and I have bought all sorts of stuff on their e.g. hair extensions, hair grips, beach towels, shorts, jeans, tops, skirts, bags and a juicy couture bag which was completely fake like most of the expensive brands on here which is one of the many disadvantages I have about ebay. Please make sure you check the authenticity of an item before buying it if it looks suspicious as there is lots of fake items on ebay which claim to be the real thing, I thought my juicy couture bag was real as it even had a fake receipt!
Aside from this I enjoy using ebay as it is very easy to use as it has all of the categories displayed in a drop down and you can type in the search bar what you are looking for and it'll bring up a massive list of items which you can refine by price, distance, best match etc. I mostly use ebay when I want to sell items that will go for more than a few pound as the price of posting is always going up.When I go on ebay its usually for little things like clips, bobbles and I got some stick on gel bra pieces which were from china which took ages to arrive but it got there in the end.
I have been using e-bay now for the past 3 years, for myself, my children and presents for family. It is easy to set up an account and also to create a Paypal account to make payment for purchases.
I normally find what I am after, and things that sometimes I am not! However, descriptions from sellers can sometimes be a bit vague, and if the item bought is not what was expected it does become a bit of a pain to either return the item or request a refund. You can leave feedback after purchasing, however, I find this is irrelevant as the seller can easily set up a further e-bay account and close down the account with the negative reviews.
However, all that aside, I have found purchasing items relatively quick and easy when buying now as opposed to bidding for an item. I would recommend this as a cheap and easy option, especially when buying children's clothes or an outfit for a special occasion that is probably not going to be worn again. The postage costs can sometimes work out a little steep, however, I have found that when buying immediately the postage costs work out slightly cheaper. I find that items are dispatched within 24 hours of paying for an item, and normally receive them within a day or two.
I do not sell items on e-bay, I prefer to use it to buy things that normally I would not be able to find in the shops or are looking for something a bit different.
I sold my four year old fridge for £10 but the buyer was never heard of again even though he paid for it. Then on reselling the fridge it went for £46.99 it only cost £100 new but I also got some positive feed back a total of £56.99.
A £50 helmet went for £5.57. A £40 motorcycle jump suit went for £1.21 both hardly used. Old Car magazines bought for a couple of quid on e bay but when resold only worth 1 p.
Items bought include a starter motor but it was the wrong one but not worth sending back as the postage would have been more than the refund. The same happened with a pair of boots supposed to be size 10 but size 7 in fact. A jacket which turned out be a shirt.
My computer went for £50 rather than in the bin. Old ink cartridges are worth a few quid even when empty.
Old cars I have bought seven and four old motorcycles. The first car was a Renault 21 six years ago from a dealer. I sent to the scrap yard after a month it cost me £100 but it was clapped out. Now a days it would be worth more than that as scrap.
The next car a Renault 21 with 22500 miles on the clock which cost me £400 but then £160 for a new starter motor and £300 for new brakes just before the engine belts went after 20 months and it was scrapped.
The third car a Seat Toledo for £500. It lasted for six months but could have gone on a little longer but I bought another Renault 21 as the Seat was so boring to drive, scrap for £10.
The next car was a Renault 21 at £315. It kept going without a problem for 18 months then one day it would not start so I had it towed away, scrap £20.
It was replaced by a £500 Saab which lasted six months before the water pump and cam belts, scrap £100.
Replaced it with a Renault Clio for £350 and two new clutch cables it lasted for nine months before the clutch went completely. You can never resell cars on e bay only scrap them I got £120 for it.
As for motorcycles it is buy cheap and get then with plenty of problems. Tempted but paying for it afterwards. Be very careful as they are not cheap to run. You can resell bikes but always for less than you paid in the first place even though you have had to rebuild then so they are road worthy.
MY last car was another bought on ebay was a Clio for £365. My luck had run out. It only too half an hour before blowing up on the A-3 motorway. All the money down the drain. I also traveled to the middle of no where to pick it up from a women who just lied about every thing to do with the car. I asked her if it was a death trap "no" she said.
But after that I bought a pair of reclining leather chairs for £30 which must be worth £300 when new so suppose I got my money back I lost on the car. And I got two pairs of trousers for £5 and £5 postage but which cost more than that in postage they are good quality trousers which fit perfectly must have been £60 new in the shop.
So it is swing and round about you loose on one deal and make it up on another in the end, that is ebay if your lucky.
Like everything Ebay.com has its good and bad parts. I have been using it for several years now and have had a range of good and bad experiences.
Firstly, what is Ebay? Ebay is a great website which is free to sign up to and allows anyone from across the world and sell their unwanted items or buy others items. There are two main ways to buy or sell; you can either bid against others for an item, or it may be listed as 'buy it now' meaning you can purchase the item straight away and it will be sent out to you.
What i love about this about this site is that it is very easy to use. You can very easily set up an account and start buying and selling within a few minutes (although you will also need to create a paypal account if you do not already have one). To list an item you just click on the 'sell an item' link, type in the items detail, add a picture, then add a starting price and postage costs. Thats it!
For buyers, ebay is a great way to pick up a bargain. I have bought numerous items, some of which were even brand new, for a fantastic price simply because the person wanted to get rid of the item.
However, there are a few problems. Some sellers can be very slow at sending items and sometimes list them differently to how they actually are. There have also been many cases of people selling fake items - so be careful!
Ebay.com the worlds most famous online auction website has benefited a great number of people. Many people have found "treasures" for mere dollars on Ebay and saved money, and tons of them have sold many items and earned extra cash. Ebay can help supplement your income and allow you to earn a little bit of extra cash or it can grow into a full time job or a private business.Out of the many ways you can go about earning extra cash below are few examples.
If you are going to go into this you should be comfortable providing your personal and banking information to Ebay. So create an Ebay account, as well as a Paypal account and fill out all of the needed information and do all of the verifications and checks so you are ready to go.
Both Ebay sellers and buyers get reviews, comments and rating scores, often times if you are a new seller people might feel worried to buy from you because they don't know if you are honest, if you will keep up your end of the deal. To help offset that you should create a good profile, provide the sellers with information about you and your products, give them certain rules and an ability to contact you without much hassle. If you have a returns policy, or any guarantees post them there clearly, anything about shipping as well. People will react more positively to a seller that seems serious and with ample information than to a blank profile with no reviews.
Once you are done setting up your accounts you should set a budget. Yes, you DO need to spend money to make money. Ebay charges small fees to sell your items. While this is no big deal if you are starting out with just a few items, if you are doing large quantities you might want to keep it all in check. Maybe account for the fee in the price of your item.
Now would be a time to figure out what to sell. If you look through Ebay you can find anything from a rock to high tech gadgets, and the weirdest thing sell. It is suggested that you go through your house and see what you don't need, think of it as prepping for a garage sale. There might be some tools in the garage, like that nail gun from last summers roof project, which you have bought but honestly wont use again. Sell them, it will help someone out, get you some cash and free up your space. If you are into arts and crafts of any kind chances are you can either make pieces or already have them lying around, these would be great items to sell on Ebay to supplement your income.
When listing the item you will have various options. You should think about your auction price, which starts small, and your "Buy now" price which should be your ideal price. You should have quality pictures that will show off the item adequately as well as a good description, and once again any rules of sale.
Once your items are up for sale you shouldn't just leave it up to Ebay and the Gods of Chance, you should promote your items online as well as off, it will pay off for you big time in the long run.
Ebay is a site to sell and buy anything, and I mean anything (well almost).
Ebay started out a while back and was one of those very clever little ideas that suddenly grew into a multi million pound company in no time at all.
Yes you can shop on line and buy goods from retailers, but never has there been such an easy way to buy new/used goods from people all over the world together in one place.
Set up your account, and set up a paypal account too, which is the best and safest way to pay on ebay.
Items for sale can have one of three ways to be bought :
1) Bidding - You enter bids or your highest bid and hope to win the item when the listing ends.
2) Buy it now - As it states you buy the item for the listed price if there is one.
3) Make an offer - Sometimes sellers give you the otion to make an offer below their buy it now price. If thy accept you get the item for that price.
You can also sell your goods on ebay too. This is also relatively easy.
Put in a title of what it is your selling, write an accurate description and add a picture. As longas your truthful about the condition etc of your items you will have no problems.
You do have to pay a fee to ebay for selling items, firtsly to list an item, which is relatively cheap unless its £££'s. And the second is a % of the final value too. But all in all its great value for money. Spend a little to make more!
To ensure buyers and sellers know who is truthful and pay on time despatch goods etc there is a feedback system. This allows both parties to essentially rate each other about the transaction. You havea limited word count but there is enough to rate how it went.
And if something does go wrong there are many ways to sort it out now. You can contact the seller / buyer directly to sort out the issue. Then if this doesnt help you could go to the ebay chat boards, ask for help or search to find answers. And if this doesnt help paypal/ebay support can help you file a dispute. Paypal the preferred method of payment on ebay will talk with both parties. They will determine whether the transaction be refunded etc. This has been greatly improved and made ebay a much safer place to buy and sell.
Ebay a great place to buy and sell your stuff.
I have been a memeber for over 5 years and have always had pleasant dealings on this site. The same as millions of users. I have also bought items from all over the world too. I have sold my goods on here as well and its so much better than advertising in the newspaper or other websites.
Ebay is great to put anything and everything in an auction list to make some money. Although I have found overtime it has become more of a place to sell only popular items and other items are disregarded and don't stand a chance. I guess that is the risk with this type of auction site but you stand a good chance if you know how to promote your product and how to list it. I've just finished 35 listings and have made 50 pounds. I use a plain background to give a clearer presentation of my product and this tends to work. You have to consider how much the item would be worth and what you would like to see the product make. As I sell mainly used clothing I look at how worn it looks. Most items I start bidding at 99p. This is an incentive for buyers as they love a good deal. Other's I have started at ten pounds as they are in great condition and I paid a lot for them anyway. Ebay charge for the insertion fee but sometimes have a free insertion day which is great if you have lots of items. I saved about £5 by using this service. They also take a fee per item after selling as you are obviously using their service. You don't really notice it especially when you have a volume of sales. Just think before you list and check out similar items to yours that are already listed. How much are they selling their product at and what condition is it in. This is sort of price you should be targeting.
*Ebay information* Ebay is an online auction site that offers you the possibility to either buy or sell new and used goods. Ebay has websites all over the world, I mostly visit www.ebay.co.uk because the Dutch site isn't that interesting and hasn't got that many good offers. Ebay offers a very big assortment, you can buy your brand clothers like Levi´s there, but also childrensfurniture, glasses, books, dvd´s and even food.
Selling through Ebay means you´ll loose some profit to them, but if you get high rates you van be pretty succesfull on Ebay as a seller, of course if you sell unique products, that works for you too.
I never sell anything through Ebay, but I do buy stuff quite often. Since I managed to get myself a Paypal account without adding a creditcard but working with Echecks, I am visiting the UK site of Ebay daily to check on new fabrics. I like to make clothes and bedlinen and always am browsing for the most unique fabric available. I find it a major advantage that Ebay gives me the possibility to shop worldwide.
Opening a buyers account ain´t too difficult, just think of a username and agree with the Ebay terms. Be aware that the system is pretty strict when it comes to non/payers. If you don´t pay the item you´ve won you will be deleted from the Ebay database pretty quickly!
There are several ways to buy articles on Ebay, you can place a bid, but you can also `buy know` which means you own the article immediatly. Make sure you confirm your bidding and check shipment costs especially if you don´t live in the country that sells the item. Small packages aren´t too expensive for me to ship to Holland. I pay between 2 to 4 pounds of course depending on weight, but fabric isn´t too heavy. Sometimes I buy an English book for my husband, and I´ll pay around 2,50 pounds to ship that.
If you enter the word of the item you´re looking for in the search area on the Ebay startpage, you´ll see all the items that match that search and on the left side, you can see the catagories they-it is in. It is also possible to arrange your searchresults from low to high prices, or from new to old offers. Filtering out the °buy it now° items is a possibility as well. Once you click on the wanted item, the item shows and information is given. Some sellers give a lot of detailled information, some don´t. You always have the possibility to ask them a question before bidding.
Payment as I said earlier, can be made through Paypal fairly easy. Within 5 days the Echeck clears with the seller and I always receive updates on my items status through email. That´s nice because I now know that the fabric I ordered 3 days ago has been shipped yesterday and will probably arrive her in Holland at the beginning of next week.
Giving feedback to sellers and receiving it back from buyers is essential for Ebay to keep out the conmen that unfortunately try to scam people from time to time as well. I always leave feedback and if your not happy with the product of have anything else to ask the seller, it is smart to email him-her before you give feedback. Most of the times you can come to some sort of solution with your seller.
Overall, Ebay is a great site to find yourself some unique articles or collectors items but it is also nice to get some cheap vintage clothes for yourself or your kids. I have only had one unsolved problem with a buyer but that´s all and I´ve been Ebaying International since 4 years. Payments can be made through banking transfer or with Paypal. Just visit an experience this site for yourself!

The Just Music Café Poolside Beats album is just such a place, quietly building energy throughout this DJ set - an ambience for passing time moment by moment - & for feeling better for each such moment.
Compiled and sequenced by DJ Ben Mynott, he has this to say:
"I created this set not only for the iPod generation to listen to next to the pool with their martini - shaken not stirred - but for for all of us commuting home after a long day at work who want to zone out and escape to places still further away in the sunshine of their mind.
As a DJ, broadcaster and devoted record collector this is an absolute dream for me to dj - what music lover of fantastic downtempo beats & singer-songwriters could resist working with the artists on this album!
So kickback, relax and let 'Poolside Beats' take you on a journey, exclusively catered for your enjoyment."
Poolside Beats moves effortlessly through the opening track from Marconi Union, 'Shower of Sparks', into the lovely Yuri's mix of Digitonal's 'Antares'. the sunshine beats of Santa Cruz Musique and Future Loop Foundation are followed by remixes from the in-demand Aaron Jerome, Greenmoney & Padded Cell. Tracks and remixes from Jon Hopkins ('Wire'), Honeyroot ('Heavy Drops') and Echaskech ('Popstars') follow before the journey ends with the epic Koln mix of Padma's 'Entryphone'.

Prince Rupert of the Rhine, King Charles' nephew, made his attack on Leicester at the end of May 1645 primarily as a divisionary tactic. The Parliamentarians had attacked Oxford, one of Charles's strongholds, and Rupert decided to attack the Midlands town of Leicester to draw forces away from Oxford. The Royalists used their artillery to bombard the city walls, and after successfully breaching the walls, they took the city with little difficulty.

Frida is the little sister of the beloved Grey Frede, and that alone is a recommendation
Frida is the little sister of Frede - the renown Grey Frede, which is one of my all time favorite flies, and certainly one of the patterns that I have caught most fish on. Like the Frede, Frida comes from the vice of Danish fly tyer and fly angler Peter Loevendahl. There's a lot of variations of this fly once you start digging into it, but I take my lead from Danish Thomas Vinges fantastic books on Danish seatrout patterns "Havørred på kysten I & II" (Seatrout on the Coast I & II), due out in German this year as it is. Fabulous books! Highly recommended.
Frida is tied with the same basic materials as the Frede and does have a resemblance to this fly, but is much lighter dressed and does have that narrow waist that your best friend's younger sister is supposed to have.
The Frida is a small and compact, yet shiny fly meant for seatrout, but definitely useful for other species too - panfish in small sizes, bonefish in larger. If you look at the shape of the fly, it's pretty close to the Bonefish Bitters, and tied on larger, stainless hooks I don't doubt that it would do very fine as a bonefish fly.
Frida does have that narrow waist that your best friend's younger sister is supposed to have
There are color variations of this fly - as there is of its big brother - but I prefer a grey one, tied with grizzly Chickabou and grizzly hackle. The original is tied in a combination of brown and olive.
|Cold saltwater fly
|Peter Loevendahl
|Target species
Sea trout (sea run)
|Partridge CS45 #2-4 (I used a stinger style hook #12)
|Black 8/0
|Bead chain, black or chrome 3/32 inch or 2.5 mm
|10-12 straws of pearl flash
|Rear body/rib
|4-6 straws of smooth pearl flash
|Grizzly, dry fly quality
|Grizzly marabou/Chickabou dubbing
Alternative tying method
I find the original method of catching the hackle with the ribbing a little cumbersome, and I have my doubt the the ribbing will last, so I tie my Fridas with a different, easier and more durable method. After having finished the rear body I cut all surplus flash and tie in the hackle. I wind this forward in 2-3 close wraps, tie down and trim. Then I dub the front body over the eyes. This protects the hackle and saves you having to wind the rib through the it and over the head and the eyes. If you want flash in the front as on the original, you simply tie in some flash, twist it with the tying thread and form a head of the flash/thread combo. Make a small whip finish, cut the thread an varnish and you're done.

| Tehran, May 20 (KCNA) -- The Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance in an interview with satellite Press TV on May 18 clarified the stand of his government vehemently rejecting the U.S. new sanctions against his country.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Treasury Department decided to impose sanctions on an Iranian state-owned bank. In this regard he branded it as a psychological warfare against his country.
He referred to the numerous efforts made by different U.S. administrations to enforce Washington's "hegemonic position" against the Islamic Republic, saying that anti-Iran sanctions are the continuation of such policies.

Bolívar, estado (state), southeastern Venezuela, bounded to the north by the Orinoco River and the Venezuelan state of Delta Amacuro, to the south by Brazil and the Venezuelan territory of Amazonas, to the east by Guyana, and to the west by the Orinoco River and Colombia. It is the largest and potentially one of the richest states of Venezuela. Northern Bolívar consists of rolling hills; in the far south are groups of high plateaus and mesas, including the region of La Gran Sabana, the site of Angel Falls. In between is jungle, largely uninhabited and unexplored, pierced by the valleys of the Caroní, Paragua, Caura, and many smaller rivers.
The Caroní River is one of the world's largest sources of hydroelectric power. A large power project is in operation at the Macagua Dam, near the mouth of the Caroní; at Guri, 80 miles (130 km) upstream, is one of the world's largest hydroelectric projects. Other projects on the Caroní have been planned.
At the confluence of the Caroní and the Orinoco lies the planned industrial and commercial city of Ciudad Guayana, which has a steel mill, an aluminum plant, and several other mills. The city is the largest urban complex in the southern three-fourths of the country.
Bolívar contains most of Venezuela's iron ore deposits (see Bolívar, Cerro). Other minerals exploited are diamonds, gold, coal, lime, manganese, nickel, bauxite, and kaolin. A small amount of farming is carried on in the north. Transportation is poorly developed in most of the state. The navigable waterways, railroads, and nearly all the first-class highways are in the north, near Ciudad Guayana and Ciudad Bolívar, the state capital. Area 91,892 square miles (238,000 square km).

The robots aren't the only part of the latest "Transformers" film that changed. Led by star Mark Wahlberg, a whole new cast was brought in to give a fresh start to the blockbuster franchise.
"Transformers: Age of Extinction" stars Wahlberg as a mechanic who strikes up a friendship with good-guy robot Optimus Prime.
Wahlberg said the idea of joining the franchise came while he and Bay were working on last year's film "Pain and Gain."
"I've never done a sequel to any of the movies that I've done and this is my first installment in the series. So, still not really a sequel for me. Just thought it was fun to do something different and I really wanted to work with Michael."
The first three films were anchored by Shia LaBeouf, and Wahlberg has previously said he felt pressure about stepping into the shoes of other actors. Still he jumped at the opportunity, and while he's signed to do future installments, "I'm not doing it if Michael doesn't do it. So we'll see what happens."
At the film's worldwide premiere in Hong Kong last week, Bay praised the 43-year-old Wahlberg as a leading man with maturity and gravitas.
As a father of four, Wahlberg saw his scenes with on-screen daughter Nicola Peltz as a sign of things to come and says he's fiercely protective of his own two daughters. "I'm not excited about that part of it," he admitted of their becoming teenagers.
The 19-year-old Peltz said she took Wahlberg's advice to come to the film set extra prepared. "He told me, 'Before you go to set, know your script, know your lines, know everything about the script.' Because you'll go to set, sometimes Michael will pick a scene not supposed to be filmed in a month. He'll be like, 'Let's just shoot it today.' So it's really good to be extra prepared on a Michael Bay film."
Another new addition, Kelsey Grammer, said he didn't mind playing a villain since he got the chance to work with Bay. "It's like throwing a lot of things up in the air (at) one time, and somehow he pulls them back down, and sticks them in his movie. He's got so many ideas all the time. His mind is so quick and rich, and creative. It's kind of like a wild ride just to work with him."
Hong Kong and China plays an important backdrop in the latest installment, another indication of China's growing importance to Hollywood. The franchise's third film, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," earned $1.1 billion at the global box office, with $165 million from China, its second biggest market after North America.
But it hasn't been smooth. A Beijing property developer had called for the Chinese screenings to be suspended because of a sponsorship dispute, before all parties said Monday they'd smoothed out their differences. The Beijing Pangu Investment Co. Ltd. owns the dragon-shaped Pangu Plaza featured in the film.
Production in Hong Kong also was briefly disturbed by two extortion attempts on the set last year. In one case, a man reportedly tried to throw an air conditioning unit over Bay's head. One assailant was later sentenced to 30 months in prison.
At a news conference Friday, Bay said he thought the sentence was harsh. "I personally wouldn't want them to be punished. He was on drugs and he probably didn't know what he was doing."
He also said that after the incident, people came up to him and apologized to him on behalf of Hong Kong.
Supporting actor Jack Reynor said despite the incident, the cast and crew had a great time on set. "Our experiences of Hong Kong were all very positive ones."

You might not have giant wooden spools hanging around the house, but I found so many ingenious ways to upcycle them into furniture that I had to share. If you're inspired by these projects, ask your local home improvement store if they'd be willing to give you a used spool for free. Still coming up empty-handed? Big spools are often used to hold heavy-duty wiring, so check out your local electric and cable companies. (I think nearly-free furniture is worth a little legwork, don't you?)
Believe it or not, this wooden spool was salvaged from a junkyard. If you're going for an industrial modern vibe, copy designer Randy Weinstein and top a spool with stainless steel for a DIY table. Eames chairs complete the look.

Will Polish Sausage/Kielbasa work with my dinner idea?
Hi all,
I was hoping to make some sliced sausage mixed with sauteed veggies, atop polenta that I've crisped, but I realized I don't have any sausage, and won't be able to get any. However, I will likely be able to get polish sausage and/or kielbasa. Do you guys think that flavor will work instead, and/or do you have any idea how to make it work better?

Fun Ford Nationals Speed Rules
An Awesome Track And Loads Of Competitors Made The 18th Annual Buckeye State Fun Ford Nationals A True Standout Event
At Norwalk it was anybody's guess who would be the last one standing. From the onset it seemed as if it might be Burton once again, who qualified top of the heap. But one thing was apparent-with Travis Franklin a no-show, somebody else might just take the championship lead. As had been seen before, we had another surprise-Mike Modeste, a former NSCA Limited Street class winner. Modeste was paired up against Burton and his silver Fox for the first round of eliminations and drove around Burton to secure his place in the final against Houston winner Angel Padilla. However, Padilla's car broke on launch, leaving Modeste to motor on down to Victory Lane. With this result, it was clear that the Renegade championship was still far from decided.
Mac Sibley has been having a good deal of success since the new Street Bandit 10.60 class was instigated. By Norwalk, Sibley and the Fairmont were still leading the chase, though Maryland's Tom Conrad Jr. was playing catch-up. In this race, the two archrivals were honor bound to meet each other in the semifinals, thanks to their consistent, canny driving. Sibley had been on form since the beginning, putting Josh Bruce on the trailer and then bagging a solo run to face Conrad, who was itching for his first class win of the year. It wasn't to be as Sibley was first out of the gate and ran an amazing 10.60-second e.t.-bang on the class index. With Conrad out, Bob Cottone was the only driver standing between him and victory. Running yet another 10.60 against Bob's 10.70, Mac's win was sweet, to say the least.
Never one to give up, Tom Conrad figured that if he couldn't win in Street Bandit, he'd give it a try in Street Stang. Sure enough, he made it to the final, where he faced Larry Massiola. However, Larry's 11.90 class was almost right on the class index, and Tom, although faster, broke out of the 11.90 running an 11.86. So there was more frustration for the Maryland driver at Norwalk. Well, at least he was still leading the championship.
Double Breakout
Over in Ultra Stang, it probably wasn't surprising to see S.D. Wheeler making waves. In Round 1 he was paired up against Paul Gamino. Despite both drivers breaking out of their index (11.33), Wheeler was the lesser offender. This left him to go against Pete Espeut in the final. Though Espeut was clearly on the charge, he got ahead of himself, breaking out of his dial while trying to make up for a somewhat sluggish start. That meant that the win was Wheeler's for the taking, solidifying his position as class championship leader.
In the Mod Comp class, a sizeable field of cars and drivers showed up for their best shot at the title. The two who pushed the hardest were Shane Williams and Geb Pizzo. By the semis only these two and Mike Kahl were still in the running, with Williams running against him and Pizzo catching a bye. Unfortunately for Kahl, his eagerness caused him to red-light at the tree, putting him out of contention and leaving Williams to motor away to his final showdown against Pizzo. Here, once again, Lady Luck smiled on Williams as Pizzo jumped the bulb, not only giving Shane the win, but also tying him for the lead in the points chase, alongside Jon Pickering.
The Tough Truck class saw regular contender Paul Gamino stand his ground against a challenge from Bob Dill, who qualified first and then proceeded to systematically take out the rest of the field. In the final, these two lined up, ready to give it their best. Paul was fastest out of the gate and from there didn't look back, running a 13.68 to secure the win-this despite the fact that both drivers broke out. Like S.D. Wheeler in Ultra Stang, Gamino claimed his third class win of the season.
Like past years in Norwalk, True Street saw a huge turnout-over 85 cars. The quickest of the lot was Marty Merillat, who scored an outstanding 8.70 average. His best run of the day was an 8.62 in Round 2.

Repeat Ear infections - allergy, bottle, or ....
You're on the right track by having him allergy tested. Usually there's an underlying allergy in cases like yours.
Good luck.

Autumn Lee came two years later. :)
I can't add any natural methods, but I second consulting an ENT. Our middle son had tubes placed around 18 months. He was out of surgery in 30 minutes and that was with a combined adenoid removal. He never had any discomfort afterward. It helped him tremendously. Wish we had been referred to an ENT earlier, because the fluid was one reason he had quite delayed speech which we are still dealing with at nearly 4 years old.
Mama to my three sons.
"A" - born 2006, "E" - born & adopted 2009, Rainbow Baby "C" - born 2011
Allergy tests at this age aren't the most reliable. My son has multiple food allergies (diagnosed by a pediatric gastroenterologist) but all of his allergy tests came back negative. I say go with your gut when it comes to allergies. It took awhile to convince my son's doctors that there was something wrong.

Herman Miller's Teneo Storage Furniture Achieves IDEA Gold
July 29, 2009
Teneo Storage Furniture from Herman Miller, Inc., has earned the coveted Gold award from the International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) in the Office and Productivity category. In its 29th year, the annual design competition, which honors design excellence in products, eco design, interaction design, packaging, strategy, research, and concepts, is sponsored by BusinessWeek and presented by the Industrial Designers Society of America.
Over 15 countries were represented in the competition with more than 1,600 award entries. The 20-member jury awarded 31 entries with Gold, 47 entries with Silver and 72 entries with Bronze, while 349 finalists were named in addition to the winners.
Designed by Ayse Birsel and Bibi Seck of Birsel+Seck, Teneo provides a new paradigm for the filing and storage category. It combines the functional qualities of storage with the aesthetic qualities of furniture and its systemic approach allows it to be a product platform that can evolve and adapt. All Teneo products are made from the same set of elements and share design features to provide a consistent look and create a unified aesthetic within an environment.
"Teneo storage furniture is an excellent example of a sophisticated and versatile modular storage system," said juror Stefanie Kubanek, associate partner, Pentagram. "It's simple, yet it combines high functionality and materiality with a playful and user-focused, sustainable design."
A complete list of winners will be available July 29, 2009, on BusinessWeek.com and IDSA.org.

Ben and Julie Buck, from Minnesota, stand by as their 6-year-old son Tanner works with respiratory therapist Cindy Williams of their care center team.
In 2002, the CF Foundation launched an innovative initiative to improve quality at its network of 117 accredited care centers. The initiative has one overriding mission: to help people with cystic fibrosis live longer and better lives.
Quality improvement is a concept well known in the corporate world. Many companies worldwide—from automakers to food producers—use quality improvement principles to create safer and better products. In recent years, health care organizations have begun using these techniques to improve a product that is critically important to everyone: health care.
The Foundation's Quality Improvement Initiative offered an opportunity to accelerate the quality of care provided throughout its network of care centers. This network is already considered a model for how to deliver care for a chronic disease. Our Patient Registry, which tracks CF patient data, shows that health outcomes are steadily improving year after year. At the same time, the Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that this progress continues.
At the beginning of the initiative, the Foundation set forth aggressive goals and developed a plan to achieve them. With the initiative now in its fourth year, more than 90 percent of all care centers are engaged in quality improvement efforts.
Among these efforts, the Foundation has provided state-of-the-art training sessions across the country, focused on helping staff to identify and implement "best practices" for care and on strategies for strengthening the partnership between patients and families and their care teams.
An important first step in quality improvement often involves a care center sharing its health outcomes data with patients and families—and a majority of centers have already accomplished this goal. In December, the Foundation will take another significant step in its effort to improve care. Medical outcomes data for all 117 care centers will be made public for the first time at our web site.
We encourage patients and families to review the data with their care teams and to understand what it means on a practical level."
Bruce Marshall, M.D.
Vice President of Clinical Affairs
This data will show medical outcomes for each center, the national average and aggressive national goals established by medical experts.
The care center data will include four measures vital to the health and life expectancy of people with CF:
- Nutritional status (measured by body mass index)
- Lung function
- Percent of patients screened for CF-related diabetes
- Percent of patients who complete the recommended four clinical visits per year, one respiratory culture and two pulmonary function tests.
"We encourage patients and families to review the data with their care teams and to understand what it means on a practical level," said Bruce Marshall, M.D., vice president of clinical affairs. "By interpreting the data as active partners, they can better work together to improve health outcomes."
By sharing the data, the Foundation hopes to strengthen the partnership between families, patients and care teams—and make care better faster, Marshall added.

Silas' rise to fortune and the contrived love affair of Irene are romantic aspects of the novel which are only temporary and end tragically. Silas loses his business because he loans too much money to a former partner to redeem his soul from the sin of greed; he had used his partner's money to make the business profitable and then forced the partner out of the enterprise. Irene's love affair is tragically ended when her supposed lover, Tom Corey, reveals that he loves her sister instead.
Silas' moral rise after his tragic downfall and Irene's similar realistic development after her love affair are somewhat parallel. Silas will not save his business by continuing to extort money from unknowing parties; he now thinks of others rather than himself. His daughter also compensates for her lost lover by helping and thinking of her father at the time of his financial crisis.
Being realistic, the novel presents characters who have both tragic and comic qualities and fates. Together these stories reveal some of Howells' comments on society and art. All of these aspects — tragicomedy, romanticism, realism, morality, society, and art, plus Americanism and universality, will be investigated in relationship to the plot and characters.

Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by katsandkids I can't believe I spent $68 on a scarf ... but it was SOOOOO worth it. I'm the type of person where I will buy 2 scarves: a black one and a tan one so that they go with everything. Usually they are the $5 fleece ones from Old Navy because as long as my neck is warm I don't care if they are fancy. However, I have been converted to the land of irresistible neckwear thanks to this scarf. I purchased the tan tribal print and it is lovely. I was pleasantly surprised by the incredible quality. The weave is beautiful and can be worn so many ways. One side is more vibrant than the other so you have plenty of options: muted side one day, vibrant side the next, or twisted so both show the day after!! The scarf will definitely provide warmth, but if you live somewhere with really cold winters, I'd save this for indoor outfits and get a weightier scarf for chilly outdoor temps. I am so in love that I may purchase the black color just because these scarves are so amazing. The tan color had long end fringe, but I can't say for sure if the black does. If you are on the fence about this scarf, go for it! You will feel like an autumn/winter glamourpuss in no time! 10.3.2011
Rated 2 out of 5Â by mai Colors not true to picture Loved this scarf and ordered it online, but was very disappointed in the coloring when it arrived. The colors on the actual scarf are much lighter and not comparable to the richness of the colors in the online photograph. An unsuccessful purchase. Returned. 9.14.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tinimolina Gorgeous I bought this scarf in the black multi color. I really didn't know what to expect since in the pictures you cannot get a full grasp of the texture, but when I got it I thought "awesome!". One side is patterned and the other is plain, but it doesn't matter, because the scarf is really beautiful. The material and the colors are great, and you have plenty of fabric to play with. It's definitely an autumn-winter must have. 3.20.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KrisD Simply Stunning! I purchased this scarf online in the rust color a few months ago, and it is simply stunning. The colors are awesome, I wore it very often throughout the fall and am still wearing it into the winter. I have received so many compliments on it. There is definitely plenty of fabric to work with, but it is by no means bulky. I'd say it's certainly worth the steep price. It's a great staple for my collection, I will definitely use it for years to come! 1.2.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by phillybird underwhelming I bought the black but I'm surprised no-one mentioned the pattern is only on one side of the scarf. The underside is plain and tannish w/ a vague hint of the pattern. Looping the scarf around your neck you see a lot of the underside. It's going back. 12.5.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by tia_maria11 different but still works heya, this scarf looked really cool on the net but when I received it, the colours weren't as vibrant as I was expecting.... but it still works and is very cute. 11.16.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by JoyceMarie Pretty scarf goes with anything This is a gorgeous scarf made of really nice material. I got the rust color, the pattern of which is very different from the black. The problem is that it is very delicate - in the rust color there are fibers of material left out of the weave that are held together by a single fragile piece of yarn. I love the colors and texture, but I had a similar scarf already that is MUCH less fragile so I sent it back. A great piece for someone needing a go-with-anything scarf and who is not too accident prone : ) 11.8.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ThePlantess One of a Kind This scarf is truely beautiful. I bought it in the store after looking at it for months online wondering how this scarf could be $68...but when I saw it in person I fell in love! I bought it in Rust Multi and it spices up any outfit even just a tee shirt and jeans! 10.27.2011
