Consumers shop around for better prices, sales and discounts.
Most online consumers (59 percent) begin their shopping searches on aggregator sites rather than at merchant sites, according to a report conducted by BizRate Research on behalf of Shopzilla. Aggregator sites include search engines, comparison shopping sites, shopping portals, and auction sites.
This represents a 13 percent rise since late 2002, when approximately 46 percent of online shoppers reportedly went to aggregator sites, and the majority (54 percent) went straight to merchant sites.
"The key message is that fewer people start their shopping at merchant sites than at aggregators," said Chuck Davis, Shopzilla's president and chief executive. "It is a trend that is continuing."
The findings are based on a survey of 923 online shoppers conducted February 22 - 28, 2005. Respondents were selected from a panel of 790,000 online shoppers. A similar study was conducted December 4-9, 2002.
One lever apparently driving the growth is the degree of price comparison available on the Web. The survey found approximately 87 percent of online shoppers compare online retail offers with catalog merchants and retail stores to find the best price. Roughly 71 percent said they were able to find better sales and discount offers online than with offline retailer or catalog merchants.
Davis also attributes growth to increasing broadband adoption. BizRate found home broadband consumers shop online about 50 percent more than shoppers with slower connections.
Search engines are the most popular type of aggregator used by online shoppers, with 54 percent of the market. In second place are comparison shopping sites, which draw 24 percent of aggregator traffic. Auction sites and shopping portals draw less than 15 percent of traffic, but Davis cautions many consumers lack a meaningful grasp of the distinctions.
"Consumers get mixed up when you try to delineate between aggregator types," Davis said. "So the more meaningful figure is the 59 percent [who prefer aggregator sites to merchant sites]."

The most popular price-comparison shopping categories are books and clothing. The most searched-for individual brands are electronics and clothing companies, including Sony, Cannon, Gucci, Panasonic, HP, Louis Vuitton, Nike, Motorola, and Ralph Lauren.
As for consumer loyalty, 34 percent of online shoppers said they buy the same brand "most of the time" when shopping online; 62 percent reported buying the same brand "some of the time." About one percent reported buying the same brand "always."

Former MP Andrew George dances before his demise
It is Flora Day in Helston when men and women and boys and girls take to the streets in a series of dances to bring on the summer.
It seems the whole town comes out to celebrate - whether dancing, playing or just watching from the sidelines.
The Liberal Democrats may have been facing a wipe-out across the West Country but it didn't stop former St Ives MP Andrew George taking part in one of Cornwall's most popular customs.
Andrew George has had a role in the celebrations for many years and today - even though he was still waiting for the result in his constituency - stepped up for the Midday Dance.
Later, Mr George was to find that he had indeed lost his seat - to the Conservative Derek Thomas by 2,469 votes. It was the last result declared in the General Election and completed the transformation of Cornwall from a Lib Dem stronghold since 2005.
Farmer ordered to pay more than £20,000 after walker trampled by cows
A farmer has been ordered to pay more than £20,000 after a walker was seriously injured when she was trampled by cows.
Emma Smith was walking on a public footpath in Helston when she was run down by the animals. She managed to get to a nearby property where she was rushed to hospital.
The 40-year-old suffered punctured lungs, broken ribs and spinal and facial fractures. She was also left with deep cuts, wrist fractures and extensive bruising to her face and body. She spent five weeks in critical care and nine weeks in hospital.
At Truro Magistrates Court farmer Jonathan Bryany pleaded guilty to a breach of the Heath and Safety at Work Act and was fined £12,000 and ordered to pay £8,885 in costs.
Emma has been left with permanent injuries and was very fortunate not to have been killed in this totally avoidable incident. Cows with calves are naturally protective and can see people as a threat.
Farmers must be aware of the risks to people who are entitled to use a public footpath. Farmers and landowners should consider how this risk can be reduced such as using fencing, signs, temporary bypasses or moving cows with calves away from fields with public rights of way.
Man appears in court over crossbow murder
A man has appeared in court accused of murdering a plumber from Cornwall with a crossbow.
Daniel Schofield has been charged with killing Roy Hanson at a remote farmhouse in Helston in October.
The 28 year old appeared at Exeter Crown Court and wasn't required to enter a plea. He spoke only to confirm his name at the preliminary hearing.
The case has been adjourned until next year.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
07 Mar 2005 00:56 GMT
Six years after the entry into force of the Ottawa Convention banning anti-personnel mines, forgotten mines remain a serious problem across the world, according to an international report.
The study was produced by Landmine Action on Sunday, the British arm of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. "Explosive remnants of war are costing civilian lives and livelihoods in 90 countries, many of them the world's poorest," said director Richard Lloyd. Landmine Action said not only were children being killed and maimed as they unwittingly played with the brightly coloured unexploded bomblets from cluster bombs, but land and anti-tank mines were slowing post-war aid delivery. More than 140 countries have ratified the Ottawa Convention that commits them to immediately stop production and use of landmines, destroy their stockpiles and clear their territories of them within a decade. Most are way behind schedule. But more than 42 others - notably the US, Russia, India, Pakistan and China - have refused even to sign and still hold vast reserves of landmines. Survey findings
Lloyd said his survey was the first to methodically take a country-by-country and weapon-by-weapon inventory of the problem and showed that the scale of it had been vastly underrated in the past. "It is a massive problem that is simply not being adequately tackled by most countries," he said. "Many governments have to put far more resources than they currently are into dealing with this." At least 20,000 people a year are killed or maimed by previously unexploded munitions - mostly men and children - and it is worst in Afghanistan, Angola, Bosnia, Cambodia, Eritrea, Iraq, Laos, Somalia, Sri Lanka and Sudan. Landmines, in contrast to other munitions, are designed to maim and incapacitate rather than kill. This is based on the understanding that while a dead person needs no further action, a maimed one involves many others in transport and caring and is a major drain on the resources of the enemy against whom they are directed.

General Post Office, Kuching
3 Reviews
3 Reviews
The Kuching General Post Office is a majestic building along Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg. It was constructed by order of Rajah Charles Vyner Brooke, the third and last white ruler of Sarawak. The building was designed by Denis Santry of the architectural firm of Swan & McClaren in Singapore, and was completed in 1932. The facade of the Post Office was in the neoclassical style, which contrasts with the building styles favoured by the two earlier white rajahs James and Charles Brooke. The site used to be a police station and stables for the white rulers.
Another interesting building along Jalan Tun Haji Openg is the beautiful Kuching Post Office. The building was built in 1931 during the reign of Rajah Charles Vyner in a neo-classical style with tall Corinthian columns standing at the entrance.
This is still a functional post office where you can purchase stamps or send mail but I doubt that will be the case for long because the council may want to preserve the building & convert it into a museum
The building stands out majestically with its imposing neo-classical style and impressive Corinthian columns. Build in 1931, it has ornate facade with semi-circular arches, ornamental columns capitals and friezes. A colonnaded portico serves as a corridor in front of the building.
Plan is underway to convert the building into an art museum, befitting its grandeur architecture.

The Space
This classic French-style apartment is located on a quiet, tree-lined street but yet is just one block away from the Plaza Intendente Alvear, which faces the famous Recoleta Cemetary and Recoleta Cultural Center. Just around the corner is the classic luxe hotel, the Alvear Palace Hotel, and other posh hotels and shopping venues are all within a stone's throw. Upscale shops, restaurants both grand and intimate, and a walker's paradise are just outside your door. Recoleta is considered one of the more affluent and safe neighborhoods in BA, and is both historic and filled with architectural gems. It is also a fantastic location to take in the daytime cafe scene or the more lively after dark nightlife.
Centrally located, it is great base of operations that affords easy access to all of the other great neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, including Palermo, Plaza San Martin, Las Canitas, San Telmo, and Puerto Madero. The main train station and ferry terminal are both relatively close (20 minutes by foot), and Newberry Airport for domestic flights is also close at hand (a short taxi ride).
The high ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors give the apartment a spacious feel, while the solid stone walls provide seclusion and sanctuary (super light sleepers please note that some street noise filters through the bedroom windows). The vintage styling of the Otis elevator make every entrance and exit a throwback to a different era. It is located on the 3rd floor (equivalent to the 4th floor in the US, since there is also the "ground floor" in the lobby). Entertain newfound friends in the living room and dining room... or just walk out your door to wander the sidewalks of Recoleta and beyond.
The wireless internet connection is very fast - 6+ Mbps. I once had a group of IT professionals rent the apartment while attending a conference, and they had no connectivity issues at all, even with all of them working simultaneously. I recently added a wall-mounted 32" flat-screen TV in the TV room, and an Apple TV device is available upon advance request.
The two bedrooms are set up with two different configurations:
1) A "Master" Bedroom with a King size bed - perfect for a couple or for the solo traveler who likes to spread out in comfort. There is a ceiling fan that can be used during warmer months.
2) The second bedroom has two twin beds that can be used separately (great for kids or for folks who don't mind sharing a room) or can be pushed together to create a larger bed for a couple, etc. However, the pushed together mode will still have a crease between the two mattresses, so please keep this mind. There is also a ceiling fan in this room for use during warmer months.
The kitchen and dining room make it easy to enjoy home-cooked meals (and a nice bottle of Malbec!) on those nights when you want to stay in. And for folks staying longer periods, or passing through as part of longer journeys, there is a washer (but no dryer!) located in the building for the exclusive use of guests at this apartment.
If you are considering staying in Buenos Aires for an extended period, 3 weeks or longer, please inquire about possible additional long-term discounts!
Check-in and check-out will be handled by my local property managers. They will get you situated upon your arrival at the apartment, complete a rental contract, conduct a quick check-in process, hand over a set of keys, and take a cash security deposit. Please see below about early or late check-in or checkout fees.
The security deposit is for potential damages, broken or missing items, etc. The standard deposit is a minimum $400 but can range up to 25% of the total cost of the stay. Our local representative will collect the cash deposit during the check-in and process and will return the cash deposit, assuming no damages or broken items, upon checkout. Any new damages or missing items discovered at time of checkout will be valued and deducted from the security deposit.
Late or Early Check-in / Checkout fees: please pay close attention to our standard times of operation, as extra fees will be assessed if your travel itinerary requires early or late check-in or checkout to occur. Standard hours are from 8 AM to 9 PM. Anything before or after these times must be coordinated in advance and will be subject to an extra US$10 for every 20 minutes. For example, a 9:30 PM check-in will result in an extra US$20, a 10:30 PM check-in will cost an extra US$50, etc. Super late check-ins may not be possible, and we may suggest that you spend the first night in a hotel in these cases.
Before you arrive in Buenos Aires, we will need some additional information from renters to complete the contract: Complete name, passport number, and permanent address, etc. A full "information sheet" will be emailed to guests following a successful reservation and must be completed prior to arrival.
I am relatively flexible about checkout times, as I know that many outbound international flights leave in the evening. However, in cases when Guests are departing later in the day, it may occasionally be necessary for you to accommodate my maid service on your departure day so that they can clean the apartment, handle laundry, and otherwise prepare the apartment for the next Guest. I do not charge for checkouts that occur in the afternoon or early evening of your departure date, but I do expect your understanding and assistance in minimizing the "downtime" between guests. Thank you!!
The most important house rule of all: embrace and experience the amazing city and people of Buenos Aires to the fullest! It is a wonderful City filled with great people, so I hope you have a phenomenal visit.

I would highly recommend anyone visiting the wonderful city of Buenos Aires to stay at Chris Curtis' apartment in Recoleta.
The apartment is very big, nicely furnished, and in a great location in the best neighbourhood in ba, but still close to town and Palermo.
The unit was very clean and well kept with more than enough space for myself, my wife and my children.
I felt very safe in the neighbourhood, and there were many great restaurants(Juana M) nearby.
the location is great, the apartment was spacious and comfortable, with everything that is necessary for a flat work well.
Our family of four loved this Recoleta apartment. After two months of traveling in South America, it was great to unpack our bags for ten days and have a place to relax and serve as a base during our time in Buenos Aires. The owner Chris was very responsive in helping arrange our visit, and Raul and Cecilia were great with communications and getting us settled and checked in and out. The neighborhood was perfectly located, and we were able to walk all over, to Palermo and even San Telmo. We used the travel agency across the street to book a trip to Colonia, great experience with the staff. Changing money on the blue market across the street was easy and we are grateful that Chris recommended it. There are many great bars and restaurants close by, including the best empanadas ever at Sanjuanino a few steps away. We cooked meals often as the kitchen is well stocked. Overal we were very pleased with the entire experience, and would definitely return the next time we are in Buenos Aires.
The apartment was great. Spacious, comfortable and centrally located. There are some great restaurants close by - and a wash and fold, same-day laundry is right around he corner. A very convenient place to exchange money is right across the street.
Chris provided a lot of helpful information before we travelled. His agent, Cecilia, was prompt and helpful.
The apartment was in a wonderful part of town and walkable distance from many restaurants and sites. The host provided helpful tips and written guides to the area before arriving. The apartment itself was roomy, light, and pleasant.
If you're planning a trip to BA, I cannot recommend this place highly enough!
We (two coworkers and myself) stayed a fabulous month in Chris' apartment, working remotely and enjoying what we now know to be the most beautiful city in the world.
Recoleta is easily the nicest (and safest) spot in BA, and when we thought about the nightly rate we were paying to stay there, we were almost embarrassed, like a bunch of impoverished orphans who had somehow snuck past the guards. In retrospect, we would have happily paid 3x the price for the chance to stay there alone.
But, it's not just the apartment that's lovely. Chris and his onsite manager Cecilia were the most gracious and responsive hosts I've ever encountered in my Airbnbing. They gave us valuable advice before arrival, arranged our airport transfers, and any question or issue we encountered during our stay was handled immediately.
On our first night, we stumbled across Prado y Neptuno, a cigar and cocktail bar located half a block away, and we ended up dropping by most nights for the best made cocktails we've ever had. Ever.
We left our hearts in BA, and if we're ever lucky enough to return, this is the apartment and neighborhood we'll want to call home.
The apt is located in a very safe and clean neighborhood. Minutes away from a park and the famous Recoleta Cemetery. Cecilia and her daughter were great help when needed. We loved staying here for 10 days. Chris was also very easy to communicate. In a few words, lovely apartment managed very professionally.
My family and I travel to Buenos Aires every year or two as my wife is from there and we visit as often as we can. After years of staying in hotels and apartments in Recoleta, our favourite part of the city, I can without a doubt say that this apartment was one of the best experiences we have had. The location is phenomenal, being just a few blocks from the main park, cathedral and cemetery in Recoleta. The unit was very clean and well kept with more than enough space for myself, my wife and my children. We were warmly greeted when we arrived, which was very nice as we had just gone through a 14 hour flight, and check in was simple and effortless. They even called to check up on us during our stay and were there promptly with a taxi for us when it was time to go. All the amenities you could need are located nearby and the restaurants on the street (Fervor, Sanjuanino) were excellent.
Chris was very easy to deal with from the beginning and very helpful even before we arrived. Cecilia and her team were very well prepared and friendly once we were there and by far it was the best experience we have had when finding a place to stay in BA. I will recommend Chris and his apartment to all of my friends and family when staying in BA and will be back here every time we come to BA from now on.
The flat is perfectly located in a beautiful and upscale area. It is very modern, elegant and beautiful. It is extremely clean and spacious. A lot of interesting books in the shells. The handling agents were very attentive and helpful. It was very pleasant to deal with Chris. The only thing I thought was unfortunate was that there is not much daylight coming into the living room, but on the other hand there is much light and windows everywhere else.

About the Host, Chris
I enjoy exploring the far corners of the Earth and getting to know local people and other travelers along the way. Getting the "local" experience is a lot harder than it sounds, but always worth it. Food, music, sport, and tradition add to the mix.

Rubbing prepared horseradish on the brisket and whisking it into the meaty sauce punches up the rich flavors here. Like most braised dishes, this brisket tastes better on the second or even third day.

I feel like Geico pulled a bait and switch on me. When I first signed up with Geico They offered me a $400 annual savings on the same coverage I had with my other auto insurance provider. This year when my policy renewed I was given a huge rate increase despite no claims or tickets that could justify a rate increase. I called Geico and was told it was mainly the State I am in that resulted in the rate increase.
So out of curiosity I called the 800# for my prior insurance company and asked for a quote for the same coverage. Low and behold the quote is $774 less per year than Geico for the same period. That's a huge chunk of change for insurance differences.
Now I could understand if the difference wasn't that much, say a hundred dollars or so, but this is a significant difference. I feel Geico is bilking it's customers and whether or not that's the case, I feel I was the victim of a bait and switch. Geico must think people won't want to go through the hassle again of switching insurance companies. Well for $774, I took the time to change. Goodbye Geico.
In all states except for California, insurance filings have to be public. You can contact the insurance department for your state and can see GEICO's rating plan at the time that you first got your policy and at the time that you tried to renew. I'm sure that you will find that you were a victim of bad timing and not malicious business practices by GEICO. Please inform this board (and your insurance department) if you find differently.
Dont forget to show proof. complete documentation, originals only, and you need video or we wont bleieve a thing you say. Dont forget the link!
Good luck investing
First, you must never forget that all insurance companies are EVIL. Second, rate increases are a boon for agents - ergo, they like them. You did well by getting mutiple quotes on coverage.
Unless you can and will document your claim it has no merit.Perhaps you are not telling the truth.
I hate tight asses like you. "I need more information", "document that" "show me the link" You are a douche bag. I hope you go broke. Let the man tell his tale. I bet your wife loves your asking for every detail and proof.. "I wont xxx in your mouth" show her the proof.
Goood luck investing
Sounds like you need to change insurance conpanies every year, taking the lowest quote that you can get. There's no loyalty in surance companies to you, so why should you feel any to them?
Low bid wins!
That's capitalism for you. You are free to go elsewhere if price is the biggest concern to you. But myself, I don't mind paying a little more for an insurance company I can trust.
And yes, I agree with you that customer experiences should be important to owners of a company.
Please take this up with Geico directly. This chat is targeted for BRK shareholders and the long term outlook.
You douche bag this is Brk business
Good luck investing in the Ponzi market
Thanks for the concern. I have discussed it with Geico who basically shrugged their shoulder as if saying take it or leave it...
I think it's quite appropriate to share my experience here since Geico is, after all, part of the BRK family of businesses. Is that not correct? I would think that those who invest in stocks, as I do, would welcome a dialogue of actual experiences - and not shun it away.

The body mass index (BMI), or Quetelet index, is a controversial statistical measurement which compares a person's weight and height. Though it does not actually measure the percentage of body fat, it may be a useful tool to estimate a healthy body weight based on how tall a person is. Due to its ease of measurement and calculation, it is the most widely used diagnostic tool to identify weight problem within a population including: underweight, overweight and obesity. It was invented between 1830 and 1850 by the Belgian polymath Adolphe Quetelet during the course of developing "social physics". Body mass index is defined as the individual's body weight divided by the square of his or her height. The formulae universally used in medicine produce a unit of measure of kg/m2. BMI can also be determined using a BMI chart, which displays BMI as a function of weight (horizontal axis) and height (vertical axis) using contour lines for different values of BMI or colours for different BMI categories.

The National Gathering for the Step Clog Community
Clog dancing
Clog dancers from all over England gather in Skipton, North Yorkshire, on the second weekend in July to celebrate the glorious tradition of English step dance.
Clog dancing probably started in the mills, when workers wearing clogs would tap their feet to the rhythm of the machines. It developed into music-hall acts, and now features in folk festivals such as Whitby and Fylde.
It's a very precise form of dance, with intricate foot movements tapping out rhythms with heel and toe. The Lancashire style uses mainly toe movements, while the Durham style makes more use of heels.
There's a great variety of English step dance traditions, but they're not often performed on the streets.
Clogfest brings these traditions on to the streets for all to see and enjoy.
The story so far
Clogfest is unique. It's the only festival exclusively for step-clogging . . . not Morris, Appalachian, or any other dance style. Beginners have a place alongside experts - everyone has a performance on a public stage.
The first Clogfest was in 2002, organised by Yorkshire Dales Workshops as a one-day event. Inclognito Clog Dancers ran it for the next four years before handing over to the Clogfest Committee.
Dancers and musicians
This is your chance to enjoy the company of your peers, catch up on gossip, and see their latest dances.
The weekend includes
a reception on Friday evening for dancers and musicians
dancing around Skipton on Saturday morning in small groups
a showcase for all teams at the canal basin which attracts hundreds of spectators
a musicians' session
a social event - Clogfest Revels! - on Saturday evening for day and weekend ticket holders
performances on Sunday in the wonderfully atmospheric grounds of Skipton Castle.
On Saturday you can see teams performing around Skipton town centre from 10:30 to 14:15. Come along to the canal basin for 14:30 and see a free showcase with all teams performing until about 16:00.
The showcase is a happy and colourful occasion. Feel free to bring a folding chair and a picnic, and enjoy the best of English step dance.
On Sunday you can see teams perform in the Castle grounds; usual admission charges apply
