Wichitan gives Web auctions a makeover
Fiona Kirby has a plan — parlay an idea into a thriving online business built on the fashion industry.
Kirby, who was born in Wichita Falls and lived in London and Paris, is in the process of starting up Wardrobe9 LLC (www.Wardrobe9.com), an online fashion auction house and informational fashion magazine forum.
The host site is the fashion magazine with industry information that has taken Kirby years to accumulate.
Kirby, 35, said the website is being "built from the ground up" by Crane-West, of Wichita Falls. She said the website will launch in November.
"You can preregister now. The magazine side is free. When the business is up and running, it will have people from all over the place. It will have W9 boutique, where high-end clothing will be auctioned off," she explained.
Kirby said "W9 encompasses every aspect of the fashion industry, from a fashion blogging forum to designer history, art and design school listings, worldwide fashion industry organizations, fashion week feeds, plus fashion vocabulary that allows registered users to add contributions."
She also stressed that the auction site will not require a commission. As the website said, "Your product, your profit, that's W9 auction's motto. Users can sell an individual item or open their own storefront and build an online presence, all at a flat rate."
Once Wardrobe9 has 5,000 registered users, she will begin the process of opening an office and hiring a staff, such as editorial writers, photographers and call center employees.
"We will need round-the-clock assistance. I am interviewing now," she said. "At 3,000 (users) I may actually be in need of the call center. I plan on doing it in Wichita Falls."
The business is being run in her mother Antoinette Boynton's shop in Brook Village, Wild Hare. Her brother Marcus Kirby, who also lives here, is a partner and manager of the company.
Wardrobe9 recently was a finalist in the ideaWF competition, a highly competitive contest that rewards the winners with thousands of dollars and in-kind services.
"W9 is an interesting startup for several reasons," said ideaWF competition director Jeff Stambaugh. "The venture is seeking a national and even international market from its inception. It's launching in the e-commerce space, which is not a traditional business for our area. It's in the high fashion business, which again is not something we do a lot in this region."
Kirby's business received a financial boost from the Texoma Angels, a group of area businessmen and women who invest in promising startups.
"W9 is a great example of a startup built on a high growth model. It's a risky proposition, and if the proposition works, it will bring many jobs to our area and reward both the entrepreneurs and the investors," Stambaugh said.
Kirby's background in fashion design includes studying at the Art Institute in Dallas, and Parsons' The New School of Design in Paris.
"I was in the process of having a book published regarding behind the scenes of a very private, close-knit industry — the fashion industry — and after years of researching found that there was no central website for all of the information that I had accumulated.
"At that point I decided to look into building a website for all the information to become public knowledge, everything from up-and-coming trends, fashion vocabulary, designer history, how to get into manufacturing, who owns and produces, what and where, design schools worldwide, and fashion organizations worldwide. This list goes on and on."
Kirby said she used to put her own wardrobe items on eBay, but became tired of paying fees she termed "excessive."
That, she said, had a big impact on her decision to start her own online business.
"Wardrobe9 is not a giant jumble sale. The items have to have some name clout to them and obviously be clothing, accessories or fashion-related, i.e. fashion books, artwork, etc.," she said.
The phone number for Wardrobe9 is 940-716-9959. It also is on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Meeting a cool guy... is there an App for that?
So I think I am a funny guy that likes witty banter - so let's make this fun. I can understand someone wanting to find their significant other here but I've found some people are treating this like a job interview rather have some funny, witty exchanges. So if you get a bizarre off the wall email from me - roll with it - hopefully it will make you laugh and some fun conversation will come from it - at which point you'll realize that I'm the greatest thing since the IPAD - (or at least you'll realize I've got a sense of humor and can make fun of myself) So a little bit about me - I enjoy the outdoors - whether it is golfing, going to the beach, kayaking, road cycling, mountain biking in the summer and skiing in the winter - anything that gets me outside. Pretty big Boston sports fan - although not one to paint my face and head to Fenway or Foxboro. My friends would describe me as someone who is fun to be around, enjoys a good laugh, funny, witty, honest, responsible and a caring individual. My nieces and nephews think I'm the coolest uncle there is...and, well they're right - I mean you can't argue with anyone under 7 right? Why? Why? Why? - can't win with those rebuttals. I'm looking for someone who shares the same interests and hopefully something will come of it. I've been told I could meet the woman of my dreams online because I sure havent found here in a bar, at a bookstore, at the grocery store. I've also been told she could possibly be on Match.com, she's between 32 and 40, she's independent, smart, gainfully employed, enjoys witty banter. More about her, she has hair, it may be short or long, brown or blonde but she must have hair - thats a given, and she's between 5'0" and 5'8", and athletic, enjoys dining out or cooking in, enjoys skiing, golf, kayaking, cycling and the beach. More about her: She has a biological clock and the alarm mode isn't currently sounding off, however she is family oriented, and wants children of her own with Mr. Right, or me but I would like to think that Mr. Right is me. And I prefer not not have an instant family...sorry. Until recently, my career was a huge focus and since I hadn't met this elusive amazing woman yet, I focused. Lets just say I'm shifting my focus, I know she's out there, and she may have lost faith in men since she's not met me yet. Aside from the things I like to do, the qualities that make me the person that I am include honesty, integrity, traditional, empathetic, humorous. There are too many things to list here that make me the person that I am, so if you want to learn more, drop me an email. Anything witty would be great Hopefully youre not face down fast asleep on your keyboard yet and still reading this and finding some things that intrigue you enough to reply. Either that or you realized that was a pretty bad run-on sentence. Hopefully you won't judge me solely on grammar. Hopefully we strike up some conversation and maybe meet up for some coffee and see where this takes us Thanks and Good Luck! BTW - PLEASE NO WINKS...if there is something that interests you enough...please email

Just four die marriages are known for the type, two for each of the dates of production. All four varieties were struck in 1797 as part of three deliveries. Mint records indicate that the first delivery was made on February 28, 1797 (60 coins), the second delivery on March 21 (874 coins), and the last on May 26 (2,984 coins). All of these coins were minted from silver ingots deposited by the Bank of the United States, and all of the deliveries were made to the Bank.
The high-grade 1797-dated specimen offered in this lot is an advanced die state of the Overton 101 variety (O-101a). It is characterized by its reverse, which consists of myriad die cracks. The obverse is perfect aside from a heavy crack from the rim through the second star to a lower curl. Liberty's cheek and shoulder have light wear, as does the eagle's breast, but most of the wings and hair curls retain considerable bright luster. This silvery piece is essentially unmarked aside from a pair of inconspicuous pinscratches near the hair ribbon, and there are no visible adjustment marks. A few wispy slide marks in the fields are mentioned for accuracy. The design elements are well centered on the planchet, and the dentilation is fairly strong on both sides. For the advanced collector, the importance of this Choice AU early silver type coin cannot be overstated.

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

|THE GORIES, THE SHAW TAPES: LIVE IN DETROIT Out Today
November 26, 2013
|Related: THE GORIES, Third Man Records
The Gories began in the cultural vacuum of Detroit in 1986. With humble beginnings at a community concert series through a tumultuous end on their 1992 European tour, this is a band whose influence has far outstretched the ground they covered. Rooted in the primal, primitive underpinnings of 50's rhythm and blues and unhinged 60s garage punk, the sound they came to was wholly their own. Over two years in the making, Third Man collectively feels like a bunch of teenage fanboys with the release of The Shaw Tapes: Live in Detroit 5/27/88. Recorded at house party in a converted store front, the band captured here is at the height of their powers. Featuring covers of classics by the likes of John Lee Hooker, the Stooges and Willie Dixon, as well as a bevy of their oft-imitated originals, Live in Detroit 5/27/88 is The Gories first live album, their fourth full-length and their first widespread release since 1992. While band members Mick Collins and Dan Kroha would go on to wider recognition in the Dirtbombs and Demolition Dolls Rods respectively, The Gories should be viewed in the same influential context as the Velvet Underground and the Cramps. While they may have barely sold any records, the folks that saw and heard these bands were inspired to create. It's high time The Gories get their due and there's no better evidence than this explosive live recording from 25 years ago. Preview "To Find Out (The Keggs)" on Third Man's SoundCloud.

oh wow thats bloody weird. TRIM isn't active by default in 7 though...but I assume you know about that.
I did upgrade to that firmware but my mobo is updated to the latest BIOS as well. And I upgraded my firmware after I was having issues.
Below is what I got back from Crucial...makes sense? Essentially saying I need to leave my system in BIOS for 8+ hours
Thank you for contacting us. The behavior you are describing is consistent with TRIM commands not executing on the drive (which may result from lots of writing and rewriting, especially OS installs, not done on the OS level). The accumulation of 'junk' data from file deletions, even reformats, basically clogs up the drive and reduces or sometimes even halts performance and can even dismount the drive. A secondary feature called Garbage Collection activates when the drive is powered, but has no data throughput, for an extended period, and does background cleanup on our SSDs which can make up for the lack of TRIM.
If this is the cause of your drive's behavior, a period of idling the drive without any data being written or read actively will improve its performance. We recommend you perform this idle period on a desktop computer because it allows you to only connect the SATA power connection. However, a USB enclosure with an external power source will also work. A laptop computer will also work, but you'll have to connect the drive and navigate to the systems BIOS menu. (Please refer to your system manufacturer's documentation on how to access the BIOS.)

'How it works', created by Addiction Worldwide, breaks today (8 June) on Channel 4 and features the family getting cashback on goods purchased online via Quidco.
The 30-second spot features logos of various brands throughout the animation as the family makes savings, including Sainsbury's, ebookers.com, Dell, eBay and Vodafone.
The multimillion-pound campaign also includes print and radio ads. Quidco, which launched in 2005, claims to have 1.3 million UK members.
Last month Quidco rolled out a free 'Check-in for Cash' app to rival Facebook Deals, which rewards users with cash and discounts when they check in at participating stores and restaurants.
Its main rival in the sector, TopCashBack, is also poised to make its first foray into TV advertising in a bid to grow its user base beyond its one million UK members.

YIELD: Serves 2 to 4
In a large bowl cover rice noodles with cold water and soak 30 minutes, or until softened. Drain noodles.
While noodles are soaking, wrap tofu in paper towels and put a heavy weight, such as a skillet, on top. Let tofu stand 30 minutes to press out any excess liquid.
In a small bowl combine tamarind and 1/4 cup hot water and let stand, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Strain tamarind mixture through a fine sieve into another bowl, pressing hard on solids and scraping bottom of sieve, and discard solids. Stir in brown sugar until dissolved.
Cut tofu into 1/2-inch dice. Put cornstarch and half of egg in separate bowls. In a heavy saucepan at least 4 inches deep heat 2 1/2 cups oil (about 1 inch) over moderately high heat to 360°F. on a deep-fat thermometer. Dredge a small batch of tofu in cornstarch, shaking off excess, and dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Carefully drop coated tofu, 1 piece at a time, into hot oil and fry until golden. Transfer tofu with a slotted spoon as fried to paper towels to drain. Coat and fry remaining tofu in the same manner.
In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat 2 tablespoons oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and stir-fry garlic until fragrant, about a few seconds. Add shrimp, radish, and fried tofu and stir-fry 3 minutes. Add remaining egg and stir-fry until egg sets. Add noodles, tamarind mixture, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and fish sauce, tossing. Cook mixture, stirring, until noodles are al dente and most of cooking liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Add bean sprouts, chives, and red pepper flakes, tossing to combine well.
Mound noodles on a serving plate and sprinkle with peanuts and chives. Arrange bean sprouts and lime wedges around noodles.

(TSX:IAE)(AIM:IAE) announces that it has signed an Engineering, Procurement, Installation and Construction ("EPIC") contract with Technip UK Limited covering the major subsea works that are to be conducted on the Greater Stella Area. The EPIC contract covers:Detailed design and installation of the two 10-inch oil and gas pipelines that will be used to export processed hydrocarbons from the "FPF-1" floating production unit. Installation of manifolds, subsea structures, flexible pipelines and spoolpieces(1) connecting the Stella main and northern drill centres to the FPF-1. Design, manufacture and installation of the umbilicals(2) connecting the drill centres to the FPF-1 and the flexible risers connecting the Stella main manifold to the FPF-1. Installation of the mooring system for the FPF-1 and the design and installation of a five-slot mid water arch.Installation of the subsea infrastructure is scheduled to take place in summer 2013.The gross value of the EPIC contract is approximately US$230 million (US$126 million net to Ithaca). The contract value is in line with the budgeted cost. The overall Stella and Harrier development work programme is progressing as planned, with all the major contracts now in place following the award of the contract to Technip.

The FPF-1 is currently located at the Able shipyard on Teeside where work is ongoing to remove obsolete processing equipment on the vessel prior to the commencement of the required modification works. Selection of the yard in which the modification works will be performed is anticipated to be made by Petrofac in Q3-2012. Development drilling is anticipated to commence in late 2012 using the Ensco 100 heavy duty jack-up rig, a contract for which was executed in November 2011. Mike Travis, Greater Stella Area Asset Manager, commented: "We are delighted to be working with Technip for the provision of an integrated subsea infrastructure design and installation service for the Greater Stella Area hub. Awarding a single contract to Technip for the major subsea activities means that we benefit from a cost effective solution as well as accessing the full resources and execution expertise of a leading contractor in the field of subsea engineering and construction. This award also closes out the contracting for the third key element of the Stella and Harrier development programme, given the contracts that were awarded last year for the provision of the Ensco drilling rig and the FPF-1 modification works being performed by Petrofac."The Partners in the Stella and Harrier fields are Ithaca Energy (UK) Ltd (operator), Ithaca Minerals (North Sea) Ltd, Dyas UK Ltd and ultimately, under an Earn-In type arrangement, Petrofac GSA Limited.Further information on the Greater Stella Area development is available on the Company's website, www.ithacaenergy.com, including photographs of the works that are currently ongoing on the FPF-1 at the Able shipyard on Teeside.(1) Spoolpiece: a short section of pipe for the connection of two subsea structures.(2) Umbilical: an assembly of steel tubes and/or thermoplastic hoses which can also include electrical cables or optic fibers used to control subsea structures from a platform or a vessel.About Ithaca Energy:Ithaca Energy Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Ithaca Energy (UK) Limited ("Ithaca" or "the Company"), is an oil and gas exploration, development and production company active in the United Kingdom's Continental Shelf ("UKCS").

Liberty Interactive Corporation
) is slated to report its fourth-quarter 2013 financial results
before the opening bell on Feb 28, 2014.
In the last quarter, the company's earnings came in line with
the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Let's see whether the situation has
changed in the fourth quarter.
Factors to be Considered this Quarter
Liberty Interactive's QVC division is benefiting from the
surge in online sales. Management stated that its online sales
will constitute more than 50% of the total revenue in the U.S. by
2014. Exposure to international markets, such as Japan, Germany,
Italy, and the U.K., will enable QVC to achieve a high rate of
growth. QVC is gradually foraying into these developed
However, the major concern for Liberty Interactive is the
fluctuating growth rate of its QVC segment in the last four
quarters. This segment currently generates approximately 85% of
the company's total revenue and 100% of the operating profit.
Thus, any interruption in the revenue stream of QVC will
significantly affect the company's overall financials.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven model does not conclusively show that Liberty
Interactive is likely to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate this
quarter. This is because a stock needs to have both a positive
Earnings ESP
and a Zacks Rank #1, 2 or 3 for this to happen. Unfortunately,
this is not the case here as elaborated below.
Zacks ESP:
Earnings ESP represents the difference between the Most Accurate
estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This leads to an ESP
of +9.30% for Liberty Interactive as the Most Accurate estimate
stands at $0.47 while the Zacks Consensus Estimate is lower at
Zacks Rank:
Liberty Interactive's Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) decreases the
predictive power of ESP.
We caution investors against the stock going into the earnings
announcement, as a Zacks earnings ESP of +1.14% combined with a
Zacks Rank #4 lowers the possibility of an earnings surprise.
Other Stocks to Consider
Here are some companies to consider as our model shows these
have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat
this quarter.
GrupoTelevisa, S.A.B.
) with earnings ESP of +10.53% and Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
BlackBerry Limited
) with earnings ESP of +3.57% and Zacks Rank #3.
NII Holdings Inc.
) with earnings ESP of +17.71% and Zacks Rank #3.

While it would be a gross misnomer to label the 1908 proof twenty a common coin, it is true that it is the date most frequently encountered among the eight issues in this very rare series. Green (1936) notes that an unknown number of proofs were melted in the mint as unsold on January 2, 1909. Published estimates of the number of survivors of this issue range from as few as 15 to 25 (Bowers) to as many as 30 to 35 (Akers). We believe the number to be even larger and estimate that there are between 45 and 60 pieces in all grades known today.
This is an impressive example of this important date, the first issue struck with the matte finish in this large format. The only surface flaws we can detect are a few small shiny spots on the highpoints of the obverse: on the nose of Liberty, breasts, knee, and toes. Still, these do not detract significantly from the overall impact of this impressive coin which stands as tied as the finest example certified by either of the major grading services as of April, being tied with two other NGC pieces.

The Winter Olympics in Sochi are the first to be hosted by Russia since the Cold War-era Moscow Olympics in 1980. Much has changed politically in the interim. But today's Sochi Games create an opportune moment to look back at Russia's recent economic history – and to peer forward as well.
Many people who remember the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991 and its tumultuous aftermath believe that Russia's economy today must be impoverished and unstable – and far behind booming China. Wrong. According to the International Monetary Fund, Russia's per capita income in 2013, measured in terms of purchasing power parity, is roughly $18,600, nearly double China's per capita income of around $10,000. And, according to World Bank data, extreme poverty is close to zero, compared to 11.8 percent in China in 2009 (the most recent year for which data are available).
Yes, Russia's economy has been buoyed not only by sound macroeconomic policies, but also by high world oil and gas prices. In fact, the collapse of world oil prices after 1985 contributed to the severe economic crisis in the Soviet Union and Russia in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This is important, given that the economic reforms implemented by former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and former Russian President Boris Yeltsin thus confronted powerful headwinds.
In 1992-1993, I was a macroeconomic adviser to Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar and Finance Minister Boris Fyodorov, trying to help Russia end the high inflation and extreme shortages that characterized the last years of the Soviet era and begin Russia's transition to a market economy. I recommended a macroeconomic stabilization strategy that had been highly successful in Poland and that called for timely financial assistance from the United States, Europe and the International Monetary Fund, just as Poland had received.
Unfortunately, the West did not provide the financial assistance, contrary to my (and many other people's) recommendations, and the Russian economic and financial calamity was more severe as a result. At the time, I attributed Western inaction to incompetence on the part of the U.S. government and the IMF. Looking back, it is clear that there was also a deliberate strategy by U.S. neoconservatives, such as then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, to weaken the Russian state. The U.S. government was also complicit during the mid-1990s in the plundering of Russian state-owned property, including oil assets that were unscrupulously privatized.
The good news is that Russia was able to bounce back, no thanks to the West or the U.S. government. Russia's market economy, albeit marred by corruption, took root. After several years of political infighting and unnecessary delay, macroeconomic stabilization was achieved, and Russia's economic growth was restored, especially as world oil and gas prices began to rise. From 2001 to 2013, Russia's GDP grew at a robust 4.4 percent average annual rate.
Russia achieved a good measure of financial stability as well. The IMF puts Russia's inflation rate at 6.9 percent in 2013, with unemployment at 5.5 percent, while the budget deficit was just 0.3 percent of GDP. Moreover, Russia's foreign-exchange reserves stand at a healthy $500 billion.
But Russia could achieve still greater success by basing its economy on two growth engines rather than one. Oil and gas will continue to provide a strong lift for years to come, especially as China becomes a major customer. Yet, Russia also has vast and still underdeveloped potential in many global high-tech industries.
During the Soviet era, Russia produced a vast array of technology-based industrial products, from airplanes to computers to sophisticated machine goods. Unlike Chinese industry, Russia's manufacturing branches were almost completely cut off from world markets, both by the Cold War and by Soviet planning. When post-Soviet Russia opened itself to trade, its industrial enterprises lagged far behind cutting-edge technologies, especially in the dynamic information and communications technology sector.
Many industries collapsed, owing to neglect, lack of international partners and financial chaos. Those that survived did so only barely, with greatly reduced output going mainly to the ex-Soviet market.
Russia has the know-how, skilled engineering and natural-resource base to become a global competitor in major high-tech industries, including nuclear energy, commercial aviation, commercial space technology (including satellites and GPS), ICT hardware and software, electric vehicles, high-speed rail, petrochemicals, and heavy equipment for the mining and hydrocarbon sectors. All of these industries will benefit from the potential for enormous demand growth in large markets, such as China, Africa and India.
But achieving long-term growth led by high-tech industries requires a business environment that encourages private-sector investment, including openness to foreign players. Moreover, the social and political environment must be conducive to a high-tech labor force, providing an attractive quality of life, ensuring civil liberties and supporting entrepreneurship and creativity. Finally, economic policies must promote technological advances and global technical cooperation in promising sectors.
Notably, Russia recently completed an agreement to finance a nuclear power plant in Hungary and looks likely to do the same in Turkey. The demand for nuclear energy will grow as part of the global effort to decarbonize the world energy system. Russia's new reactors seem safe and competitive with those produced elsewhere. Similarly, we might see new Russian-built civilian aircraft entering the global market in partnership with international firms, especially those that can work with Russian companies on advanced ICT avionics.
Back in 1991, many thought that Russia could not end high inflation, adopt a market economy or compete effectively in world markets. Two decades later, Russia has proven the skeptics wrong. Yes, Russia remains too dependent on oil and gas and should move further on transparency, openness and competition in business and governance. Yet the trend is positive: Russia has become a stable, high-income market economy, with strong prospects for decades of rapid GDP growth and high-tech progress if it pursues a sensible economic strategy in the coming years.

The Winter Olympics in Sochi are the first to be hosted by Russia since the Cold War-era Moscow Olympics in 1980 .In 1992-1993, I was a macroeconomic adviser to Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar and Finance Minister Boris Fyodorov, trying to help Russia end the high inflation and extreme shortages that characterized the last years of the Soviet era and begin Russia's transition to a market economy.The good news is that Russia was able to bounce back, no thanks to the West or the U.S. government.Russia achieved a good measure of financial stability as well. Russia also has vast and still underdeveloped potential in many global high-tech industries.Back in 1991, many thought that Russia could not end high inflation, adopt a market economy or compete effectively in world markets. Two decades later, Russia has proven the skeptics wrong.

Republican congressman Don Young of Alaska has crossed the aisle to endorse Democrat Mazie Hirono in the U.S. Senate race in Hawaii. "But here's what's important, Hawaii," Young says, sitting next to Hirono. "If you're looking for a United States senator who doesn't just talk about bipartisanship but actually knows how to work with both Republicans and Democrats to get things done, Mazie Hirono will be that senator." Watch the ad below:
Hirono, one of Hawaii's two House members, is running against former congressman Ed Case in the Democratic primary on August 11. The winner of that primary will likely face Republican Linda Lingle, the former two-term governor. Polls show Case would perform much better in the general election against Lingle than would Hirono.
So does that perhaps explain why Young, a Republican, is endorsing Hirono in the primary? Young spokesman Luke Miller says the endorsement is only for the Democratic primary. "Congressman Young made today's endorsement in an effort to help Congresswoman Hirono in her upcoming primary," Miller writes in an email. "Today's endorsement was strictly for the primary."
A new internal poll (via Politico) shows former Hawaii governor Linda Lingle ahead of one of her potential challengers and statistically tied with another in that state's U.S. Senate race. Lingle, a two-term Republican governor, leads Democratic congresswoman Mazie Hirono 45 percent to 40 percent and trails former Democratic congressman Ed Case by just 1 point, 41 percent to 40 percent.
Read more...
Former two-term Republican governor of Hawaii Linda Lingle entered the 2012 Senate race last week to replace retiring Democrat Daniel Akaka. A new poll from Public Policy Polling (PPP) shows she may make a competitive showing in a state that has only elected one Republican to the U.S. Senate in its 61-year history.

The Venetian casino: COMPS information

To follow up with my previous post, I did not get any additional comps from this trip. But I really didn't expect to either: I did raise my bet to $100/hand but I ended up not playing long enough (probably only about an hour per day) because of some other distractions. On the other hand I did come out with a net positive for the trip (playing the 8 deck Venetian/Palazzo games on the BJ spreadsheet available here) so I won't complain. Hopefully I'll get some more decent offers for future trips.
I'm satisfied with myself for playing a good, strong basic strategy game. One evening I was playing at 3rd base with a bunch of newbies. A pit boss was observing the table and when I glanced at her she nodded to me and quietly said "*you* know what you're doing."

I guess this must be what happened to me. I played $100/hand BJ at Venetian this past December, while my wife was playing quarter slots. Now I'm getting offers for $79 rooms. My wife is getting offers for $free rooms. How annoying (though I guess its an advantage of the Club Grazie quirk that our accounts are seperate and can't be combined...we can pick and choose our offers).

I find that sort of thing insulting. Nor the rooms, but some of the other perks.
My wife plays slots. I play primarly poker, but also craps and BJ, and sometimes a little video poker.
I know slots players are more profitable and therefore get better offers. I don't have an issue with that.
In fact, she's a Diamond in Harrah's Total Rewards, while I'm a lowly Gold. I get it. I understand.
If we use one of my wife's free rooms instead of my discount rooms, I understand she has to be the one to check in. No complaints.
Some of the perks my wife is entitled to as a Diamond are free valet parking ($20 in A.C. for non-Diamonds) and free access, with guest, to the Diamond lounge, which has a mini buffet. I REALLY do get it. She's entitled. I'm not.
She can bring me in as a guest anytime. But if *I* want to go to the Diamond lounge alone, I can't do it. Why not? My wife is busy gambling with MY money! Does the casino REALLY want me to extricate her from her machine just get me in the door when I want to grab a bite in the lounge? Ditto for the times I want to go to the regular buffet by myself, but want to get the Diamond discount.
Similarly, do they REALLY want her to stop playing so we can claim the car from the valet? That's a job I can do myself while she continues to play a little longer!
Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood?

Hi Folks~
As a followup to my original question in this thread, I played 2x$20 at BJ at Palazzo for an hour. I have just received the "Spring Spectacular" offer for 4 nights comped and $10 slot play . This is my fist Venetian offer. I have never stayed there before.

In the player pecking order, slot players are the kings, and blackjack players are the pawns. It does not surprise me that a quarter slot player would get treated better than a $100 blackjack player.
I'm very surprised the Venetian would give much at all to a $40 blackjack player. Then again, times are tough, and everyone is more generous.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

I just got a 4 night "Springtacular" comp offer as well. I checked their reservations calendar and there are actually some decent mid-week blocks (and a weekend block in April) available. My offer actually has a $25 slot credit or table match play.

In my personal experience, as a $25/hand BJ player, I'm able to get rooms at Venetian/Palazzo Sunday - Thursday. Surprised I'm able to get that much seeing this is one of the higher-end properties. I haven't been to Vegas in a while, but I still get a fair amount of offers for slot/BJ tournaments (these are usually mid-week) and some random offers for weekend stays (NCAA tourney, Super Bowl, etc).
As pointed out above, my ex-girlfriend is a $.25 slot player. Sheldon Adelson basically lands his personal helicopter on her front yard to bring her in. In other words, she gets rooms here whenever she wants. Still baffles me how someone who puts in 1/10th the action I do gets the world, but as the Wizard points out, slot players are definitely the comp kings.

I get offers for 3 nights with $25 or 50 promo chips. I think I recently got one from carnival with 2/3 nights and $150 matchplay.
I played table games a bit but no more than an hour a day and prob 25-50 average bet (bit higher on craps with odds but still <100)

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum here and just want to say thank you all in advance.
Last weekend I went to Palazzo paying normal rates and played a few hundred dollars of slot play (1500 slot points on grazie) and also ate at the hotel a few times. So now I want to plan another trip for the first week of august(9-13) and I'm wondering is there any way that I can receive a comp/partial comp. I've read that people usually get these through the mail but since I'm going soon i don't know if or when I'll get that. Does calling work or is there any "best" way for me to go about this?
Thank you!!

The best offers come through the mail there, and they never seem to stop once you get them cranking. If you want, give them a call and ask for a comped room, but absent of any mailer and with as little play as you gave them, I'd expect they'd tell you "We can give you casino rate". If that's good enough for you then you're off and running. Never hurts to try.

1. Wash rice gently and soak it for at least 15 minutes prior to cooking.
2. After cooking rice expands to about three times in volume, so be sure to use the proper size pan.
3. Drain the rice and put into the saucepan. Add the water, green peas, 1 teaspoon of oil, and salt; bring it to boil and turn the heat to low and cover the pan.
4. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has evaporated. Turn off the heat and fluff the rice with a fork.
5. In a frying pan, heat oil on medium high temperature. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil; if seed cracks right away oil is ready.
6. Add asafetida, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds.
7. After the seeds crack, add red chilies, bay leaves, and cinnamon stick and stir-fry for few seconds.
8. Add rice, turmeric, and cayenne pepper to the frying pan; mix it gently.
9. Stir-fry for about 5 to 6 minutes.
10. Serve hot with soup, dal or yogurt.

SweetwaterŌĆÖs Shane Mob-ley and Liz Miller have been chosen to serve as assistant coaches for Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) all-star games that will be held in Abilene on June 8.
Mobley, Sweetwater High SchoolŌĆÖs head football coach and athletic director, will be an assistant for the North team in the football game at Shotwell Stadium.
SNYDER ŌĆö SweetwaterŌĆÖs basketball teams usually donŌĆÖt have a lot of success winning at Snyder. But both of them posted impressive victories on Tuesday to remain near the top of the District 4-3A standings.
Both teams go to first-place Wylie this Friday.
Sweetwater boys 65, Snyder boys 49
Sweetwater (1-1, 12-8) led from the second quarter on, but Snyder (0-2, 4-16) was able to throw a big scare into the Mustangs until they ended the game on a 16-5 run to claim their first win in district play.
Highland won both ends of a basketball doubleheader Tuesday when its teams made the short trip to face in-county rival Roscoe, as both of the visiting teams stayed unbeaten in District 13-A, Division II.
HighlandŌĆÖs girls (21-3, 4-0) solidified their hold on first place with a 41-20 win, while the boys (8-11, 2-0) kept their district record spotless by beating Roscoe 35-23.
HighlandŌĆÖs defense held Roscoe to four first-half points in the girls game as the Lady Hornets built a 19-4 advantage en route to ther ninth straight win overall.
The Sweetwater High School varsity girls basketball team, which is 16-10 overall and 2-1 in district play, will play at Snyder at 6:15 p.m. today with the boys game at 7:30.
Standing from left are Kendra Crosson, Suede Shirley, Kathleen Campbell, coach Al Miller, Shelby Cason, Kelsi Crosson, Taylor McPherson, manager Ziggy Collins; kneeling, Hayley Brownlow, Elise Lawrence, Janell Walker, Kayla Chowning.
Sweetwater will be taking on a pair of desperate teams when the Lady Mustangs and Mustangs go to Snyder for a key District 4-3A bas-ketball doubleheader today.
While the Sweetwater and Snyder boys are both 0-1 in district play, SweetwaterŌĆÖs girls ŌĆö who will tip off the doubleheader at 6:15 p.m. ŌĆö are 2-1 while Snyder is off to an 0-3 start. The Lady Mustangs need a win to stay on the heels of 4-3A co-leaders Wylie and Green-wod, both 3-0, who have an early showdown in Green-wood today.
Tadeo Canon-Masjoan has received another postseason football honor.
SweetwaterŌĆÖs senior def-ensive lineman on Sunday was a second-team selection by the Abilene Reporter-News to its all-Big Country Super Team. He previously was a second team pick by the Reporter-News to its Class 3A-5A all-Big Country football team.
Joseph Banyard, a former Sweetwater High School star who is now a running back for the National Football LeagueŌĆÖs Minnesota Vikings, made remarks to the current SHS players when he spoke at ThursdayŌĆÖs Fall Sports Banquet held at the Nolan County Coliseum.
Banyard signed with the Vikings in November after also spending time this season with the Jacksonville Jaguars and New Orleans Saints.

Sweetwater boys at Snyder ŌĆö JV at 5 p.m., freshmen at 6:15 p.m., varsity at 7:30 p.m.
Sweetwater came into its District 4-3A opener with a seven-game winning streak yet likely facing its toughest challenge of the season.
And from the start, it was an uphill battle as Monahans led 8-1 before Sweetwater hit his first field goal at the 2:25 mark of the opening quarter, en route to a 63-43 win. Monahans (17-3 overall) never let the Mustangs get closer than four points after its quick start at SweetwaterŌĆÖs gym.
After barely surviving Big Spring in their 4-3A opener and giving up a fourth-quarter lead against Midland Greenwood, the Sweetwater girls basketball team needed a statement win here Friday to regain their footing in the district race.
And thatŌĆÖs what they got in a dominating 53-24 win over Monahans that kept the Lady Mustangs (2-1 district, 16-10) within striking distance of the 4-3A lead held by both Wylie and Greenwood, who are 3-0.
ŌĆ£The girls were very determined tonight,ŌĆØ said Sweetwater coach Al Miller. ŌĆ£They were determined to take care of business.ŌĆØ

WHY I BOUGHT THIS: I was searching for some simple
face powder because my forehead near my hairline seemed really reflective
and shiny... sort of out of sync with the rest of my face. No, no, no,
no.... not make-up! Powder! Really, I'm a man for crying out loud...
make-up? Pfft!WHY I WAS SKEPTICAL: Well, this
thing sort of looks like make-up. And it's made by a company called
"4VOO". When I say that name out loud I am imagining an
effeminate Frenchman, complete with a frilly get-up and pencil thin
moustache, offering me a plethora of flowery perfumes and beauty-enhancing
make-up products. "It's for voo Monsieur."DID IT
WORK?: Ok, let's get to the point: it works. In
fact, it works very well. There is a slight tint to the
product, but it goes on invisible after blending with the provided sponge
applicator. Sure, if you really laid this stuff on thick it could probably
be detected, but normal use will smooth the appearance of the skin and
take out the shine. My skin is very fair, and it works well.I
might also add that this item was really packaged and presented well. It's
obvious that 4VOO cares about the product they are selling. They
even list all ingredients on their website, so if you're concerned about
toxins you can check it out yourself. Most of the ingredients are all
natural.So if you will excuse me, I must go powder my
by ibizaspainposted on reviewstrem.com
by ibizaspainposted on reviewstrem.com
I kept on searching for new men's cosmetic brands online and one of the
interesting brands I have discovered and tried is 4VOO. I have
never heard of this brand but when I checked them online, magazines and
beauty editors speak highly of it so I gave it a try. The brand is famous
in the US, UK and some part of Northern America. The product is a face
powder. This is quite unusual for men to use this and I rarely see
somebody use it.
I am using it because I had oily skin. I have this problem with my skin
ever since. Even if I will use non-oily substance for my moisturizer, when
the temperature becomes so humid, my face always transforms into a
slippery surface. I wanted to use a face powder to minimize shine. This
product is contained in a container similar to Maybelline's or Clinique
however, its casing is discreet because it is silver. It comes with a
powder puff.
The first thing I appreciate about this product is the color of
the powder. It claims it has a translucent shade which is
very true. The color of the powder when you look at it is pale,
almost barely nude. I wanted this to subside naturally when I apply it
because it is too distracting if people will notice that I am using face
powder on my face. After a minute, the powder feels like nothing on my
face, it is not obvious nor it showed any color. This is the good thing
about the shade because when the brand guaranteed it has a translucent
hue, it really is. So men in general will not be worried about this.
I also like that this can improve the texture of the
face, at least during the time when you are wearing it.
Right after it is absorbed, your face will look like it has no
pores at all. Very smooth and young looking.
I have to applaud this brand too for creating a product which
has the best ingredients for nurturing your face. This has
chamomile, grape seed extract, Vitamins C, E and A and made from silk. I
like that there is a proactive use of natural skin-caring ingredients.
This is the best way to know whether this product is safe for the skin or
not. I also like that the most common skin-nurturing Vitamins–C, E and A
are present. No wonder this did not cause any zits in my face. This also
has sun protection which makes the ingredients complete.
For me though, the best test I can give a face powder is on its ability
to control shine. This is the main reason why I used this. I wanted a
product to diminish oil in my face. What I noticed was how this
was developed to make the texture of your skin velvety and it can maintain
that for hours. I never have to deal with too much shine
in my face since I started using this.
4VOO shine reduction powder is for people who
need to eliminate reflection caused by oily skin surfaces, whether on the
forehead, nose, cheeks, or chin.
the powder is a translucent pressed powder and will not add
color to your complexion. 4VOO shine reduction
powder helps absorb excess oil and produces a natural shine free
appearance to the skin.
gently rub the included applicator in the 4VOO
shine reduction powder and pat it onto the skin
surface you wish to cover
apply shine reduction powder with the puff included in the set. a puff
absorbs excess powder, allowing you to leave the right amount on your face
the 4VOO shine reduction powder puff gives
you a more controlled application, you get less texture and more
4VOO shine reduction powder
is translucent and can be used on all skin
tones. the powder creates a matte look, reducing the shine and
absorbing oils. it also acts as a protective layer.
shine reduction powder can be applied over 4VOO face & body bronzer or
shimmer tint to tone down
the radiance and provide a deeper natural look
too little 4VOO shine reduction powder
leaves an oilier look while too much will accumulate in the fine lines of your
skin drawing attention to wrinkles
apply only enough powder to reduce the shine
less is more

YIELD: Makes about 12 biscuits
ACTIVE TIME: 25 min
TOTAL TIME: 50 min
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt in a bowl. Blend in butter cubes with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir together egg and buttermilk in another bowl, then add to flour mixture, stirring with a fork until a dough forms.
Gather dough into a ball, then turn out onto a floured surface and gently knead 7 or 8 times. Roll out dough with a floured rolling pin into a 1/2-inch-thick round and cut out as many biscuits as possible with biscuit cutter. Gather scraps and knead once, then pat out into a 1/2-inch-thick round and cut out more biscuits.
Arrange biscuits 1 inch apart on baking sheet and brush tops and sides with melted butter. Stir together turbinado sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over biscuits (sugar will form a crust).
Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a rack and cool to warm, about 10 minutes.
