Grandstand Breakfast: December 14
The Box of Neutrals team of Rob, Mike and Pete held court once again on the Breakfast program and they kicked things off with today's cricket councillor, a very tired and broken Daniel Norcross from testmatchsofa.com in the UK. They then checked in with Ashley Brown from afl.com.au for an update on the James Hird saga and finally interrupted The Australian's Will Swanton's tanning session at the Pipeline Masters in Hawaii.

Have you ever wondered about wine economics–what are the costs of a bottle of wine? While the industry, made up mostly of private companies, often keeps margins shrouded in mystery, I spoke with one vintner who broke down the price of barrels, corks, grapes as well as the three tiers for me. And since that vintner was Bo Barrett of Chateau Montelena and Barrett & Barrett, he offers perspective on a range of (higher-end) wines. I also dig up some info on lower-end wines.
Margins are something that always pique the interest of consumers. So check out the piece over on wine-searcher.com and let us know your thoughts.
Elon Musk is an innovator–probably everyone who's picked up the business pages recently knows that. Not that I've ever driven a Tesla, but I am a huge fan of everything he's doing. While the gigafactory, the hyperloop and the electronic car that goes 0 – 60 in 5.6 seconds may have gotten most of the attention, he's also taking on a lot of entrenched interests.
First and foremost is how cars get sold in America. States regulate the sale Read more…
Crain's New York ran a piece over the weekend pointing to a 14% rise in wine shops in NYC since 2010. Will the proliferation of shops "bottle up profit" they wondered?
The short answer is: no.
There's a huge thirst for wine in America right now and especially in New York City. The city has some terrific shops and, throwing in the knowledge and offerings at the city's restaurants and wine bars, it is today the best wine destination on the planet (here's looking at you, Paris). Sure, the existing 1,368 wine shops can serve the city's residents and tourists. But a growing market that's relatively protected (grocery stores can't sell wine) will probably mean more stores in the coming years.
Today, there are discounters and full-service shops. There are ones focusing in small estate wines and others with lots of well-known brands. There are shops with particular slants such as selling wines made by women, wines from California or Chile, wines from a single importer, shops that sell wine by occasion or food pairing rather than region, or shops that have tastings every day of the week.
Not all of them will succeed. But the more the merrier. While some of the unsuccessful approaches may be reoriented in another four years, I'd venture to say that, barring economic collapse or a shift to allow chains or wine in grocery stores, the number of wine shops will be higher still, by a similar measure as over the last four years.
One thing that could improve the finances of these small shops (chains are not allowed in NY), is if they could also sell craft beer. That happens in Connecticut and levels of social unrest are not higher as a result. In places like Illinois or New Jersey, wine shops can even sell gourmet comestibles, such as cheese. Imagine!
Bloomberg TV has a quick hit on five "surprisingly high-paying jobs." Number five on their list is a "master sommelier," who, they say, citing nobody in particular, can earn "up to $125,000 a year."
But keep putting the nose to the limestone, somms: the piece says phone sex operators can earn $160k.
Jeff Bezos had some crazy talk for Charlie Rose at the end of a 60 Minutes segment: Amazon is working to deliver some items in 30 minutes or less via unmanned, aerial drones.
It's not April Fool's Day; Amazon tweeted a link to a picture of the "octocopter" delivery vehicle and published this futuristic video on YouTube. Bezos did concede to Charlie Rose that the plan, possibly 4-5 years off, "requires more safety testing and FAA approvals."
If Amazon drones were approved, this delivery method would have enormous implications. But since we're a wine blog, we'll focus on the wine angle here: getting wine in 30 minutes would give a lift to your Friday night. And since the Octocopter delivers to GPS coordinates, it could conceivably track your phone and deliver your whole picnic right to where you are. Hopefully, there will also be a robotic sommelier to pop and pour.
Or is it so futuristic, unworkably weather- and regulation-dependent, that the main triumph is just to give a lot of buzz (without rotors) during the busiest shopping time of the year?
Why do Champagne prices often decrease during the holidays? Economic logic might hold that as demand increases–a huge amount of bubbly is put away during the last few weeks of the year–that prices should also increase.
A recent article in the Times mounts a parallel quest in understanding why turkey prices fall as Thanksgiving approaches and rose prices rise into Valentine's Day.
As with frozen turkeys supermarkets, well-known champagne brands can be used as a loss-leader. Come for the Veuve Clicquot and leave with a few bottles of malbec and other full-priced items for your party. And as with frozen turkeys, there's a vast supply of champagne brands ready to fill sales channels for this busy time of the year. Also, as with the article's example of low-priced tuna contributing to price compression of canned tuna during Lent, the presence of perfectly serviceable other sorts of lower-priced bubbles may act to compress the prices of champagne brands. Finally, a supermarket probably doesn't want to devote space to frozen turkey after Thanksgiving so they might be inclined to cut prices to clear out inventory. Similarly, a large wine shop might want to reduce their stock of bubbly post-New Year's Eve.
The article points out the different market dynamic with the price of roses at Valentine's Day: with more demand, rose prices surge. There's a limited supply of fresh roses and flower shops can't benefit from a loss leader as the Valentine shopper wants only roses. In the wine world, a small shop may not stock big-label champagne, so may not have loss-leaders to flog in newspaper ads. Also, if the shop focuses on grower champagne, the supply, while not as limited as fresh roses at Valentine's Day, is more limited than the grandes marques, which could lead to price stability at a time of discounting.
When it comes to champagne shopping this holiday season, think about are you getting a frozen turkey or a rose and shop accordingly.
How much does that vineyard cost? In the video of the day, Alex Gambal, American in Burgundy, discusses vineyard prices in Burgundy and why he and his investors paid $10 million/acre for a sliver of land in Batard-Montrachet.
"It's a way to preserve capital…You're buying Treasury bonds today at 2%. What would you rather buy, US treasury bonds or a piece of grand cru in Burgundy where you're getting 1%–and the dividend is bottles of wine! So it's not a bad deal!"
I get the scarcity argument but there certainly are carrying costs associated with this type of investment. And weather may wreak havoc with a vintage as parts of the Cote de Beaune saw so dramatically this year so it's not without risks. What do you think: is he oversimplifying things? Does it make you cry a little bit on the inside to see Burgundy land discussed as a functional equivalent of Treasury bonds?
There has been a spate of articles about a new gadget for preserving wine called the Coravin. What's not been widely commented on is the fact that the founders raised a lot of money, notably almost $11.5 million in the last round.
The company, based in Burlington, Massachusetts, raised these funds from 106 equity investors, including restaurateur Joe Bastianich who had tested the product–formerly known as the Wine Mosquito–at his restaurant, Del Posto. The CEO, Nicholas Lazaris, ran Keurig before and after it was sold to Green Mountain Coffee Rasters.
Where does that put Coravin in terms of recent rounds of wine venture capital in apps and gadgets? At the top.
Two days ago, the team behind the label-recognition app Delectable announced a $2 million placement with angel investors. According to venturebeat.com, Club W has raised $3.1 million for their "personalized" wine club. The Danish company behind Vivino, also a label recognition app, has raised $10.3 million.
In previous non-winery M&A news, Lot18 raised $44 million though their last-completed round was in 2011. In December 2012, an anonymous group of investors from Singapore purchased a controlling stake in the Wine Advocate reportedly for $15 million.

Comcast Bringing Live TV to Tablets
Looking to watch live TV on your iPad? Comcast Corp. said it will enable streaming of live and on-demand content later this year on Apple Inc.'s device and tablets powered by Google Inc.'s Android operating system.
Comcast, facing new threats from the rise of online video, is trying to give its customers access to programming online and on mobile devices without jeopardizing its core pay-TV subscription business. It has held difficult negotiations with programmers that have pressed for additional compensation from the cable company for it to show their content on new, digital platforms. The Wall Street Journal earlier reported on Comcast's plans.
The nation's biggest cable provider said it will roll out a feature for its Xfinity TV iPad app that will allow users to watch on-demand content anywhere there's a wireless connection. It also noted that customers would be able to watch live news, TV shows and movies in their homes "later this year."
"Live streaming and the play now feature on our Xfinity TV app are two important pieces of our strategy to deliver any content to any device, any time," said Chairman and Chief Executive Brian L. Roberts.
Readers, what do you think? Would you like to watch live TV on a tablet, or do you prefer the larger screen and your living room?

Want to set up my first WP and I know very little about it.
Should I go ahead and use 2.9 or will 3.0 be worth waiting for? If I do use 2.9 will I have to do everything over again when upgraded to 3.0?
Are there any templates for 3.0 available and where would I find them?

I think I am having an allergic reaction to crab. How long do the hives last? From the reaction I have them all up my arms and on my back, and they still itch.READ MORE
How long do symptoms from allergies typically last?
sunlover51, You don't say how long you have had them, but yes, hives can last for several days. I know it has been a while since you posted, but how long did they last? Did you ever find any relief? As other community members have said, allergies to shellfish can be very serioues, and shellfish are hidden in a lot of foods. I am not a doctor and can't diagnose you here, so I would suggest that you check in with your physician if it happens again or if they persist. If you did find some relief, please return to let us know how you are doing and how long they lasted. Best of luck!

Hi ...I just had crab 3 days ago and reacted for the first time..really scary...been to the doctor and he said its ok....however I have a rash on my hands , feet arms and midriff. Looks awful but it doesn't itch ...I have had it for 4 days now....im not taking anything however how long do you think it will last ?? weeks months ?? any help respectively appreciated.... READ MORE
I have an allergy to just crab and even with the smallest amount i get itchy and break out in hives. For me, it depends on the amount of crab that i have eaten. The smallest amount brings on a reaction, but the more amount of crab i consume the worse the itching and the hives become. One time i had a bite of crab and had a reaction for 2-3 days. The next week I had the same amount again (don't ask me why) and my reaction was worse. I was burning, itchy and covered in hives for a week. Everything swelled up and I couldnt even put on shoes. So I would say it depends on the amount you had consumed.READ MORE
I have had hives last for days. You should see a doc and get a prescription for steroids. Shellfish is one of those potentially life threatening allergens, with each reaction possibly being worse than the last.READ MORE

Seattle Nonprofit Veteran Says Push To Cut 'Overhead' Starves Charities By Gabriel Spitzer • Sep 18, 2014 401(K) 2012 / Flickr If you're a shareholder in a company, you probably want that business to run as efficiently as possible. Lately it's gotten easier to apply that mentality to nonprofit charities, too, with online rating sites that score charities on how much of your gift goes directly to the mission, and, in some cases, call out organizations with high overhead. It sounds like a smart way to give, but Eric Walker says it's a troubling trend. "Wouldn't that be a good thing if 99 cents of my dollar went to the soup in the soup kitchen?" Walker asked. "The problem is there's a whole bunch of work to put that soup in the pot and get it to the soup kitchen that there's nobody to pay for."

This La Gloria Cubana Serie R Black cigar is a Nicaraguan puro that embodies a strong departure from La Gloria Cubana's origin in the DR. This full bodied smoke made with select, long-aged Nicaraguan tobacco, along with the large ring gauges supply a Mike Tyson punch of depth, taste and aroma.
Impressive from start to finish. One of the best cigars I have ever smoked. Well constructed with an excellent burn. Good cigar to have in the humidor...21
This cigar tastes expensive but it is not. It is now one of my favorites. I highly recommend this cigar if you like strength and a good even burn12

Canadian comedians are mourning the death of American comic and actor Robin Williams as the loss of one of comedy's greats.
Williams was pronounced dead at his home in California on Monday. He was 63.
- WATCH: Mark Critch of This Hour talks to CBC News
- Robin Williams dead in apparent suicide
- Robin Williams's death sends ripples online
- Toronto fans mourns loss of Canadian Robin Williams
"Very sad to hear the news about Robin Williams. Big loss for not just the entertainment world but for the whole world," stand-up star Russell Peters said on Twitter.
"Sad to hear about Robin Williams. A very funny and lovely man," tweeted TV-comic Colin Mochrie.
Brent Butt tweeted he was "stunned" at the news and remembered how Williams would show up at Vancouver comic clubs and got the crowd roaring with laughter.
"He used to drop in & do spots (at) UrbanWell & Punchlines in Vancouver. Big laugher, lots of fun."
Comic and TV actor Shaun Majumder said in an email that Williams helped mould his comedic instincts from a young age.
"There is no doubt that he was a huge influence on me in my early days as a comedian … in fact he was an impact on me well before I was a comedian or actor which made me the most annoying 7 year old on the planet."
Williams 'courageous': Dee
Bruce Hills, the chief operating officer of the Just for Laughs international comedy festival in Montreal, calls Williams's death "so sad on so many fronts."
"Most importantly he leaves a wife and three kids behind but also millions of fans worldwide that will miss this very special artist, comedian and genuinely good person."
Standup comic and sitcom actor Gerry Dee remembered Williams for his ability to start off as a touring comedian who then make it big as a Hollywood star.
"He did what we're all trying to do … take our stand up career into TV and movies. And he did it more than anyone and better than anyone. And he did it in drama, he did it in comedy," Dee said in an interview.
Dee said Williams was a courageous comic who put so many "out there" styles in his stage act, such as his machine-gun speaking and stream-of-consciousness delivery.
"He just took chances. And I think any comedian will tell you that's one of the hard parts of trying to be different. When you try to be different you fail a lot of times and you bail on it," he said.
"But he never bailed on it. He always stayed true to himself."
Impromptu Toronto gig
Standup Frank Spadone said it was a "sad day" for comedians everywhere.
"You've lost a very iconic, important person in your community," he said in an interview.
"He was inspirational. He was funny, the way he committed himself to the characters [he played]. The way he did everything."
Spadone remembered catching Williams perform at a Toronto club while he shot a film in the city, and said the joint was packed with people for Williams' impromptu open-mic gig.
"That place was just buzzing because he was in the place. That's the kind of influence and that's the kind of respect and reputation he had," he said.
"Just everyone wanted to see him and be in the same room as him. And as a comic, everyone was just so excited that he was there."
Police said Monday that a preliminary investigation indicated Williams death was a suicide due to asphyxia.

I am thinking about buying a monopod never having used one I am unsure which brand would be the best. I use the Nikon F-5 with the 80-200mm lens most of the time. Also, would need the head to fit the monopod I have read that the Bogen 3265 is a good one. Would appreciate any feed back. Thanks.
#1. "RE: monopods" | In response to Reply # 0JM Registered since 01st Mar 2007Sat 26-Jan-02 03:11 PM
Altho I have limited experience with monopods I thought I'd toss this into the mix.
I picked up an off brand 'pod (MGM logo) and due to cost resrtictions put a Bogen 3262 head on it. This combo is excellent for the system I use. The F and N70 both work well with all the lenses in my kit (lagrest being either the 200mm Vivitar or the 500mm Tamron mirror) but I do wish I'd gotten the QR version. I will update as money permits but since you don't seem to have those restrictions the 3265 pistol grip has a QR but just seems to be a little overkill. Its weight of 1.7 lbs is over 1/2 lb more than the 3262QR and its rated capacity is the same. At over 8" tall you may find it gets in the way and throws the balance of the pod off.
Well thats my take on it. Good luck and happy shooting.

#2. "RE: monopods" | In response to Reply # 1jrp Charter MemberSat 26-Jan-02 03:31 PM
I have developed over the years a preference for the Manfrotto (Bogen in the US) line of camera supports, after suffering from using "el-cheapo" monopods and tripods, paying attention to a "Consumer Reports" article, obviously written by a non-photographer.
I have now a Manfrotto 222 (Bogen 3265) grip action ballhead on my monopod (at all times) and works very well with the F5 and the 80-200mm f/2.8D ED AF-S, even when with a TC converter. To minimize my worries about being at its limits in terms of load, I tighten the spring action and it works very well even in odd angles. I a very happy with it and so are the people I have taken the liberty of recommending it to them.
Many people I know seem to go for the simpler Bogen 3229 swivel tilt head with quick release and are also pleased. Below an image of the hand grip action ballhead on my monopod with the VR.
Have a great time :-)

AmicusHorizon's mental health awareness day proves a great success
Published by amicushorizon for AmicusHorizon Group in Housing and also in Health
AmicusHorizon organised its second mental health awareness day
AmicusHorizon organised its second awareness day to challenge the stigma around mental health.
The housing association set up a marquee on the Lansdowne Green Estate in Stockwell on Thursday 29 May.
The event aimed to promote and support mental health within the local community.
The day included one-to-one sessions, where visitors could talk in confidence to a mental health nurse and a member of AmicusHorizon's Casa Support team.
And less formal tea and talk sessions were held for people to come and chat openly.
A wishing tree also allowed members of the public to write messages supporting mental health recovery.
These messages included: 'Nothing to be ashamed of' and '1 in 4 people suffer so don't suffer in silence'.
Acting Mayor of Lambeth, Councillor Adedamola Aminu, attended the event and offered his support to the cause.
He said: "Mental health is a big issue in our community and can happen to anybody at any time in their life.
For an organisation like AmicusHorizon to be there to support and help people is very important."
AmicusHorizon's Rebekah Arkle, who helped organise the day, said: "1 in 4 people in the UK experience a mental health problem each year, but it's still often seen as a taboo subject.
We were keen to show it's nothing to be ashamed of and it was great to see people speaking so openly about mental health.
We're grateful to everybody who came along to support the day."

Roman's coverage of the late, great Efim Geller comes to an end today with the review of two amazing games. The first, a classic against GM Kotov, the second, a game from the 90's that you would have thought had been played by a young and vibrant Grandmaster. As Dzindzi explains, such was Geller's style, and he will forever be remember as young and heart and young at chess! | Watch video
Along with his current coverage of the great, late Jose Raul Capablanca - GM Bojkov kicks off his series covering the incredible player and person Svetozar Gligoric. An orphan from an early age, Gligoric lost many years of his chess career while fighting against the Nazi's in World War 2. But as Dejan explains, he was still one of the only non-Soviets who could compete with them during the 1950s-60s. | Watch video
In the exciting conclusion of this monumentally important game for the young Sam Shankland's career, we get to see white slowly work his way back from a slightly worse ending, to one of equality, to an endgame where his opponent is fighting for a draw, to eventually, well, you'll have to watch to see! Take notes on Sam's excellent defensive technique, and his "practical poise" in seizing the moment to go for it! | Watch video
At the crucial stage in his career, Capablanca and his predecessor weren't getting along that well, but their chess games were a cooperative creation of beauty! Here we see a classic battle between these two legends, in the typical fashion of the era. A Queen's Gambit Decline in which black does not make the necessary early equalizing breakthroughs (e5 and c5) and finds himself dominated by the young Cuban! | Watch video
In part 2 Grandmaster Kaidanov gives his recommendations for facing black's 2nd and 3rd most popular moves against the Panov-Botvinnik Attack. He discusses 5...g6 and 5...Nc6, suggesting the slightly "less traveled roads" for white in both cases, but stressing that more space and active development make those positions very easy to play, and put tactical pressure on black at an early stage of the game. | Watch video
IM Rensch breaks down this well-known, theoretically driven opening (The Sicilian Dragon) not by focusing on all the complex variations available, but rather, explaining the evolution of those lines by revealing the patterns and repeating ideas within the pawn structure. Danny reviews the "stem game" Karpov-Kortchnoi, Moscow 1974 and he shows how Karpov changed white's approach in the Yugoslav forever, which inevitably led to black's modern approach (The Chinese Dragon)... | Watch video
In perhaps the defining moment of his career (or at least one of them) a young Sam Shankland took down one of the world's top talents to claim a tie for first at the 2008 World Youth Chess Championships. Here he reveals all that was in a sharp, 9.0-0-0 Yugoslav Attack Dragon Sicilian. He highlights the in-depth variations both he and his opponent calculated, and instructs on the basic ideas of the line for players of all levels. Enjoy! | Watch video
Today FM Kostya focuses on the theme of domination! Highlighting how creative, and sometimes brilliant ideas can occur when your pieces dominate your opponent's in terms of activity and total power, even in cases when they are "worth less" in total point value. We see minors dominate a queen, knights dominate rooks, and much more! | Watch video
In his next installment, GM Khachiyan reviews the games Nakamura-Sokolov and Hao-Anand. He highlights instructive moments regarding Zugzwang, when to setup "goals" within you endgame plans, and how to avoid traps and pitfalls on both practical and psychological levels. And he also recommends that you never "Tweet" after a tough loss! | Watch video
Today Roman reviews another great game from one of his all time favorite people... and chess players! Roman has more Efim Geller stories than most, so stick around for the post game chat. Until then, enjoy one of the most creative, aggressive rook lifts of all time! Geller left many marks on the Open Sicilian, as well as the "attackers guide" to chess. His uncompromising style was unforgettable! | Watch video

Writing can be daunting for young children. "What!?!? You want me to make my OWN story?" But there are ways to make writing achievable; to help them on their writing journey. One idea that we've found success with lately is being inspired by the literature we're reading. The other day, John Robert read Olivia Goes Camping. In the story, Olivia names her top five things to do while camping. After, I asked him to write his top 5 things to do while camping. Not only did he write his own story, but I also learned a lot about him and what he enjoys. By encouraging them to write about their favorite things, their feelings and their experiences, you are helping them tell their story.
John Robert's Top 5 Things To Do While Camping:
1. look for bugs
2. climb a hill
3. catch fish
4. help put up the tent
5. collect firewood
Other ideas from around the web that can help us inspire our little writers:
Get them comfortable with telling stories by using Storytelling Stones or a Storytelling Jar.
Make it simpler by starting with a Fill in the Blank Story or a Fill in the Blank Easel Story.
Introduce them to Cultural Storytelling Boxes like this one from Montessori 'n Such.
Learn the tricks discovered with the Everybody Writes study. "Everybody Writes provided teachers with innovative ideas and practical resources to help them run projects to get children in primary and secondary schools excited about writing."

Today, while checking my online statement....there was a charge for a membership fee. $39.95 was charged. When I tried to call the number I got crummy static filled music.
I went to my bank this afternoon to freeze my debit card and my bank manager called for me. She did get through to a human being who quickly put us through to the supervisor.....static and music.....nothing else. She finally hung up after 15 minutes.
I have learned my lesson....NO MORE ONLINE ADVERTISEMENTS....I got off easy I guess....only $39.95

This letter is directed to the Fox News junkies who fear for America, its freedoms and personal liberty. They hate President Obama despite the fact that he has governed from the right of center and that his fiscal and military policies are indistinguishable from W. Bush's. They fear that their vision of America is being lost to socialism and liberals who threaten gun rights. How strange it is.
For the last two decades, the wealth of this country has flowed steadily to fewer and fewer people. The middle class has shrunk. Those below the poverty line have increased by millions. Banks and their bosses remain unaccountable for the criminal acts that caused this suffering.
Yet, fine conservative, tea party, libertarian and truly patriotic Americans tolerate this with the boot heel of the wealthy pressed on their necks.
If they dare to look up and notice or consider that good government could do better for more of us, some billionaire whispers the key words in their ears — socialism, moochers, gays and abortion — and they settle back in blind contentment believing that the obscene wealth of the 1 percent will soon begin to trickle down to them. Then they vote against their own interests and the interests of the true American dream.
True freedom and a stronger America can only increase when every American has access to affordable health care and wages that can support a family. Government "of the people, by the people and for the people" makes this possible. Wake up.

In response to the article on pedestrian fatalities on Feb. 11, I would like to recommend that the Tri-State Transportation Campaign mentioned in the article consider an education program aimed at the pedestrians themselves.
I frequently see walkers and bicyclists who disregard safety measures that they should take when on the roadway. There are many times, when driving at night, that I have been startled by a person in dark clothing walking at the edge of the road that I did not see until I was right on top of them. If you know you are going to be walking on a road at night, use some common sense and carry a flashlight or wear light-colored clothing.
I also have seen bicyclists riding against traffic, many times young riders without a helmet. This is not only technically illegal, but also very dangerous.
I think a safety program in the schools might be a good idea to make young people think about their own personal responsibility when it comes to safety. It's life skills like this that are sometimes overlooked in the curriculum.

Greetings all,
I have a need to track scores of different players in different categories for a school game. There would be 15 categories that each player would get points for (i.e. 100 points for objective a, 20 points for objective b...). I would like the ability to be able to display results in any given format (i.e. daily total, cumulative total, category total...).
Essentially it would replace the spreadsheet I currently use but find way too cumbersome and not at all web-friendly.
I tried some of the Google Docs plug in to try and display the spreadsheet but they never seem to work at all. So I figure some sort of application that I can simply input a number(or choice from fixed categories) for any given student and be able to have that students total be displayed on a web page.
Any ideas?

This doesn't work in django trunk (r7877) and I have CommonMiddleware and APPEND_SLASH=True.
This seems to be because of the way CommonMiddleware detects if a URL already exists - it looks up URLs in urlresolvers.
As FlatPages doesn't talk to urlresolvers - no page in FlatPages will ever resolve.
The attached patch (flatpages.patch) forces a redirect since I don't like the idea of automatically adding new URLs that will respond to requests.

Maybe your first apartment you had a home phone with AT&T as long distance?
Call AT&T, not the collection folks and find out what phone number the bill is about.
You said "My father had recieved his AT&T phone bill with charges on it that were in my name."
Again, call and find out what phone number the bill is about.
Not saying your Dad did, but maybe he used your name to get phone service? There is a reason why they billed him.

Well priced lecithin
Posted by Reviewer2515835 on Sep 23, 2012
I use it for two reasons, extra choline to complement various nootropics I also take, and because apparently lecithin is an emulsifier that prevents fats sticking and being digested so maybe it could help lose a few pounds. I'd say it's essential for the choline, but don't bother for weight loss.
