This company has got one of the top search engine results for ipod repair and they post stunning customer reviews on their front page. They also boast a 1-3 business day turnaround time for the fixing of your ipod. Unfortunately, this is a crock. First of all, their contact page states that they have customer service reps from 9 am to 9 pm Mon-Fri and when you call they close at 4:30 P.M. EST.
Also, they must have a ton of unflattering reviews because I searched and found a lot of complaints. The biggest issue I have is their turn around time. It was well over a week before I even called and I assumed the ipod was on its way. I get the run around that they have not fixed it yet and they have a high amount of ipods to be fixed.
I stated that I wish they would have told me that before I paid for the repair because I would have just got it sent back to me. Now we are stuck waiting as long as they want for me to get the ipod back because unfortunately I already paid. They should tell customers that it may not get fixed in 1-3 business days and that there may be a much longer delay!
It looks like it will probably be 2 weeks or more before I get it back! Possibly longer because I called and complained and they will probably just put it at the back of the list to be jerks. So all in all, their turnaround time is not accurate and they do not tell the customer when they pay for the repair that it may take a lot longer than that.
Once they have your money, you are theirs. You have to wait as long as they want to fix the ipod and their website claims are very misleading. Misleading advertising about customer support hours listed on the page, misleading turnaround times, and reviews that are obviously one-sided. The reasons I chose them were their great customer service hours they had advertised and their advertised turn around time. Needless to say this company will never be getting my business again nor will I ever recommend them to any of my work colleagues. They own ipods for work and I'll just let them all know to beware of digi express.

Also, this person obviously has never attempted to call DigiExpress on the weekends or after 5 p.m. because they ARE open until 10 p.m. every day of the week, including SUNDAYS!! And if you actually READ the website, it says, and I quote "Most orders are diagnosed within 1-2 days at no additional charge." No where on their website does it guarantee a 1 to 3 day turn around. Every business has their busy months and at least they have the courstesy to notify their customers and give them options. What this person isn't telling you is that they offer to refund your money in full and return the iPod if you don't wish to wait. So, the "once they have your money, you are theirs" is totally UNTRUE!!!
And, my friend had her iPhone repaired at DigiExpress back in June for a glass and battery and they had her iPhone repaired and returned to her within 3 business days!!! Just because they have a delay doesn't mean they won't fix your iPod or keep you updated about the repair. Everytime I have called for a status check they have answered the phone and have been so polite and friendly. AND I HAVE CALLED AFTER 4:30 p.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS!! Never have I been transferred to voicemail.
When I called to pay for my parts not only did they tell me about their delay, they even gave me an approximate shipping date and offered to refund me if I didn't want to wait. NOW THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE...but guess what I am choosing to wait because patience is a virtue! Oh, and by the way their delay is only about 7 business days after you pay for your parts not 2 weeks!
This person says it was over a week before they called....they diagnose iPods very quickly if you actually CHECK YOUR E-MAIL! And, when you log onto your account on their website it even tells you about their delay. Another thing too...when you call their 1-800 number as your waiting to speak to a representative it again tells you in a recording about their delay. So this person is a huge liar if they were unaware of the delay.
I have never experienced such a FRIENDLY, COURTEOUS, PROFESSIONAL customer service team than I have with DigiExpress. And this person must be so childish as to think they would push their iPod to the back of the line just because they called to complain! I am sure every company deals with complaints. I know that DigiExpress will be receiving a positive review from me!!!!

By Mr. Rob Mcilvaine (ARNEWS)May 27, 2010
WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 27, 2010) -- The Army's Child, Youth and School Services program, which heads the Army Teen Panel, recently honored the sacrifices of Army children, while also educating members of Congress about the benefits, experiences and challenges of being a military teen.
The teens spent a day in the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill as a result of efforts by Lindsay Yuill, Army legislative liaison, and a team of liaisons who were impressed with the teens' initiatives on improving garrison programs and the marketing of their vision to senior Army leaders at the Army Family Action Plan summit earlier this year.
After arriving from garrisons located in South Korea, Germany and across the U.S., the 12 teens' first stop was a meeting at the Pentagon with Maj. Gen. James McConville, chief, legislative liaison. McConville wanted to hear what was uppermost on their mind and readied the teenagers for the task of talking with the congressmen.
The Office of the Chief of Legislative Liaison facilitates the partnership between the Army and Congress to ensure support for the Army's needs.
"Our families have the tougher job," said McConville. "So I want to know what's been the biggest challenge for you teens, especially when one or both of your parents are deployed'"
"Just not having them around has been the toughest," said Xavia (only first names of the teenagers are used) from Georgia.
"Has the Internet helped at all'" asked McConville "I was just in Afghanistan where we had Internet phones in some of the most remote areas. Has this helped keep Families together'"
"My mom was deployed to Iraq in 2002. When we had no communication, we often got the wrong information about what's going on over there," said Megan, representing Fort Bliss, Texas.
"We didn't have any communication when my dad was deployed in 2002. Mom took it hard and she would often have anxiety attacks," said Elizabeth of Fort Polk, La.
"Having communication with my dad was like he was still here with us," said Anthony, also from Fort Bliss.
The conversation quickly turned to what can be one of the teens' worst experiences: switching schools during the school year.
"I was a junior in three high schools," Xavia said, "but this only served to improve my communication skills."
Elizabeth attended three high schools during her senior year.
"All the moving I did during high school left me with the feeling I had no continuity between the schools," Elizabeth said.
McConville mentioned he'd also heard of coaches who didn't want to deal with military kids.
"I've heard them say, 'You're military. We don't want you on the team because you will only be here a couple of years and then you leave.' It seems we're good at fixing physical problems in the military, but changing attitudes is something we have to come to grips with," McConville said.
"We worry about you kids," added the general. "But I think you come out stronger, despite having a tough time growing up. Statistically, you seem to do well in college. But we're concerned because we feel we're disadvantaging you."
He advised the teens, as they visited the House of Representatives, to speak up with what they have on their mind.
"To a person, these men and women are the ones who give us the money because they all agree about taking care of families. You are all serving, (but) you didn't volunteer to serve. We need to have better benefits for the high school-aged children of our military men and women."
Before leaving, he advised the Army Teen Panel to speak up about the affects of multi-deployments on them and their parents when they see members of Congress and their staffers.
J.C. Abney, deputy to the commanding general of the Family and MWR Command, provides direct supervision and oversight to five program directors, including Child, Youth and School Services.
He, too, wanted to hear more from the teens about lack of continuity between the school districts from state to state.
The teens talked about having difficulties when their military parent(s) received orders to move and having to repeat courses in order to graduate according to their new state's standards.
"We're supposed to have a system in place so that school districts make every effort to accommodate transient youth, but from what you're telling me, this isn't happening. We have between 300 and 400 memorandums of understanding in place to deal with this. But if these barriers are still in place, we need to knock them down for athletics and academics," Abney said.
Abney said he was disturbed by the students' comments.
"I would have never guessed that this was still an issue; I thank you for making me aware of it. I know there's a lot of effort to ensure this doesn't happen thanks to the Interstate Compact the Army has with 28 states. Our garrison commanders need to get back out to the school boards and initiate a conversation about what's happening," Abney said.
The teen panel lunched with caucus members and staff, and participated in individual meetings with representatives to continue their conversations.
Alex, from Fort Drum, N.Y., met with Rep. William Owens of New York's 23rd congressional district in his office and during the group lunch. Owens replaced John McHugh, who was confirmed as the 21st secretary of the Army.
Garrett from U.S. Army Garrison Garmisch, Germany, and Anthony, a junior advisor with the Army Teen Panel at Fort Bliss, had the opportunity to chat with liaisons from the Office of the Chief, Legislative Liaison over lunch about their experiences as Army youth.
"We don't talk about our parents being in the military because we're not sure how the other kids in school will feel," Garrett said.
After lunch, Anthony and Megan met with Silvestre Reyes and Solomon Ortiz, both representatives from Texas.
Immediately a common bond was discovered when Anthony showed Reyes his blog on his cell phone. The congressman pulled out his phone as Anthony tweeted he was meeting with the congressman from the 16th District. His mom quickly responded, telling her son to tell the congressman 'hi' for her.
"That scared me a little bit," laughed Anthony. "I didn't know she was keeping such a close watch on what I was doing."
Anthony and Meghan joined the other teens coming back from their own meetings and met with Craig Greene, a professional staff member with the Armed Services Committee.
"As a parent, I appreciate you guys stepping up to help your peers," Greene told the 12 Army teens.
The Armed Services Committee authorizes funds for military housing, teen centers, barracks and planes, to name a few.
The last order of the day was dinner with Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Pete Chiarelli and his wife, Beth.
"I understand you've all been affected in some way by moving around from school to school, but who's continuing on with college and possibly joining the military'" Chiarelli asked.
"I'm attending Texas Christian University in the fall and joining ROTC," said Garrett, who plans to join the Army upon graduation.
Brooke told the general she has been accepted to West Point.
But the main topic of conversation became the emerging social media.
"I credit this Army Teen Panel with creating the first Facebook account in 2007. They even briefed Chief of Staff Gen. George W. Casey about it," said CYSS Army Teen Panel Program Manager Donna McGrath.
"Social media has come a long way," said Chiarelli. "We even use Skype now for online medical evaluation. When we did a pilot in Hawaii, many of the doctors didn't want it, but now they're into it because young Soldiers are much more willing to open up."
The Army teens found out that, like the congressmen, Chiarelli also enjoys using Twitter when Anthony told him about his blog, "Son of a Soldier."
The dinner at the Fort Myer, Va., officers club became more festive as the two tweeted back and forth over cheeseburgers and salad.
This will be one of the last official functions these teens will experience before training the new Army Teen Panel following the Army's birthday ball in June.

This tale, about Diane and Rick Kiewel of Marple Township, is as much about their very old house as it is about two divorcees starting over and the importance of la famiglia.
This house has allowed Diane to be even closer to her tight-knit Italian family, and it has let her help her daughter with her growing family. The former tenant farmhouse, part of which was built in 1796, also has taught Rick a thing or two about himself.
Our story starts in December 1995. Rick, currently director of finance for Mellon Certified Restoration in Yeadon, was not quite divorced, but was ready for a new relationship.

"Kearney Is What Kearney Was" Kearney by mrclay2000
Kearney Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 29 photos
Kearney was originally laid out as Centerville in the 1850s, though the James Farm is dated to 1845. Then as now a place for farms and pasture, Kearney is located about sixteen miles north of Kansas City on I-35. Off US-92 there are some attractions of note for the outsider but somewhat sprawled out in this interesting town.
Residency here numbered about 5,500 citizens in the last census. Today the town's websites boasts only two important attractions, thankfully located only a few miles apart.
- Pros:A handful of historical attractions
- Cons:Everything widely scattered and seen for a fee
- In a nutshell:Where Jesse James lived, loved, hated and lies

Being inside the farm house and picturing what took place, what it must have been like there was fun for me. I love the fact that here is a place you can touch history...not see it behind a rope.
Do you have something against tofu?
LOL, I just visited Jesse's grave in Texas.. (I won't argue but its funny, the arguement over him:-). Fabulous to visit this area though. Big tourist traps.. good tips.
Chunk of tofu! LOL
There was a t-shirt shop in one of my former residences that sold Jesse James shirts with the following slogan: "I'd rather hang in Missouri than hang around Springfield, Illinois."
Interesting page. I've heard of Jesse James but don't know the exact story. Why don't you add some info about him for all of us non-Americans who don't know this legendary man.

Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
Me thinks he would have been an insufferable bore. "Let me tell you about my old man..." :rolleyes:Can't but help but wonder what Gandalf Jr. would have been like...
Come to think of it though, they must have been forbidden to have children because it would be no good having thousands of Istari round the place.
Another point to ponder would be that since all the Istari took the form of really old men they are therefore unable to have children
Not to get off topic, but many really old men can and do father children. Especially in this day and age with that "little blue pill" so widely available... but let's not go there
why must be the children Istari too??? I mean the children from Melian wasn't a Maia , or??? And that Olorin and the other 4 are Istari is a prozess of learning??? Not a gift of birth or???
I think that it is theoretically possible for the Istari to have children, since like you said Melian was a Maia and she gave birth to Luthien, it then stands to reason that the baby would be either elf or human depending on the mother.
I think the child is still half maiar or what ever, it's just that in the only known cases
Yeah, ok
but one other question :withstupid: what is the meaning of this???
Right, the use of that sign is not meant to be derogatory, but a friendly agreement. We don't usually agree with something stupid said by anyone, so the sign is a joke, and the word "stupid" in this case is meant to be friendly jibe, not that the other person is actually thought to be stupid. :happyelf:Yeah, ok
but one other question :withstupid: what is the meaning of this???

An excellent plugin, very well coded and documented. WP beginners will probably need some help actually doing things with the data in their custom fields, but this interface is very slick.
The developer's free and premium add-ons are of a very high quality, I'd highly recommend wp devs buy the 'options', 'repeater' or 'gallery' add-ons, its $25.00ea for a lifetime of unlimited use including redistribution in commercial works (ie you can sell a theme with this plugin and the add-on included)
If you're new to WP, perhaps check out the plugin 'types' as well, as it has similar functionality, and allows you to add custom post types and taxonomies. If you just need fields however this plugin offers a slicker UI and much more extensive and well documented API than types.

After several mails and a tense and lively discussion with Syzygy header, I finally got a refund. I had to show him the ripoff report to get a reaction from his side, but the most important is that I've finally got my money back.
I had to wait 3 months after my credit card was charged, but everything ended well.

Home > Community > Health Library > Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) During Pregnancy
Most pregnant women have symptoms of
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), especially
heartburn, at some point during pregnancy. These
symptoms may begin at any time during a pregnancy and often may become worse as
the pregnancy progresses. Heartburn is common during pregnancy, because hormones
cause the digestive system to slow down. The muscles that push food down the
esophagus also move more slowly during pregnancy. Also, as the uterus
grows, it pushes on the stomach and sometimes forces stomach acid up into the
Although these symptoms are common during pregnancy,
they rarely cause complications, such as inflammation of the esophagus
(esophagitis). Most of the time, symptoms of heartburn improve after the baby
is born.
Treatment for pregnant women with GERD is similar to
treatment for other people who have GERD, focusing first on lifestyle changes
and nonprescription medicines. You can make changes to your lifestyle to help
relieve your symptoms of GERD. Here are some things to try:
Along with making lifestyle changes and taking
nonprescription medicines, some doctors may recommend the prescription drug
sucralfate for treating GERD symptoms during pregnancy.
And although the following prescription and
nonprescription medicines are
generally safe during pregnancy, don't use them without first talking to your

Last night I had my annual Thanksgiving dinner and it was great. I just really really love hosting parties. I don't know why, but I always have. I used to want to do it professionally; be a wedding planner or party planner. On some level I still wouldn't mind doing it professionally, the little work that I do with events at the Museum is one of my favorite parts of my job. The thing is, I like hosting events for my friends not as much throwing parties for other people and their friends.
If I could I would go really overboard with these parties. It's pretty hard to contain myself as is. In fact this is the first year that I didn't buy anything for the party (dishes, decor, linens, etc) though I was quite tempted to buy a bigger dining room table to accommodate everyone. I quickly learned that hosting such large dinners is quite expensive so I have them potluck now. I was only supposed to do the turkey and gravy this year, but obviously I couldn't contain myself and also did a spice cake, homemade pull-apart rolls, homemade cranberries and a salad. My salad was actually amazing. Pancetta, Apples, and Walnuts YUM! I tend to always mix like 4 recipes together to create something which is what I did with the salad (and turkey and cranberries) and it turned out great. I didn't need to take on the extra dishes (we had an absurd amount of food) or the cost of extra food, but I really wanted to and I really enjoyed cooking.
I think its because growing up it was just me and my parents so holidays and family dinners (which lasted like 20 minutes with the TV on) weren't exactly special. So when I get to sit at the head of a table surrounded by 10 other people I love enjoying food and conversation its just really great.
In the end this is what the 11 of us ate (my fridge is full of leftovers):
- Rolls and butter
- Walnut, Apple and Pancetta Salad
- Pull-apart rolls
- Sweet Potatoes
- Mashed Potatoes
- Cheesy Potatoes
- Green Bean Casserole
- Stuffing
- Apple and Herb Stuffing
- Cranberries
- Jalapeno Cornbread
- Corn on the Cob
- Turkey and Gravy
- Chocolate Pie
- Pumpkin Pie
- Spice Cake
- Cookies
- Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream
It was a BIG meal.
Sadly, then we played Squabble and the girls lost twice. It was depressing.

Your relationship with God is not based on how worthy you try to become.
It is based on how much you are worth to Him. You mean everything to Him.
The grace message shifts the narrative.
All of Scripture is held and woven together by a unified storyline and single plot:
the story of Christ and His love for humanity.
The Jesus narrative is compelling. His story is our own.
Our hope and mission is to awaken an awareness of the finished work of Christ and to help deepen a renewed understanding of the finality of our Savior's sacrifice. We've been pursued and compelled by God's devotion to love us at all cost. Our greatest privilege is to continue the pursuit to love as we are loved.

Grace not only applies to salvation, but to the process of becoming like Christ in the way one thinks, acts, and experiences life on earth. This book gives a biblical basis for a potential new reformation of the Church that will result in a massive rethinking of the Gospel. Christ's work to redeem us was thorough and absolute. The revelation of God's grace extended to believers in the New Covenant is the most life-giving truth one can experience.

Ashley Young is rumoured to be on am Allardyce's wish list this summer, with the Manchester United winger taking on a lot of criticism for much of his time at Old Trafford and possibly in need of a change.
West Ham would present a good move for Young, who needs a move away from the spotlight in order to regain the form he showed at Aston Villa. With plenty of attacking options at United, it's unlikely he'll see a lot of game time under van Gaal.

Verbal and written contracts are something to be aware of here people, when companies like Encore decide its independent contractors are not worth their time, you have to do something about it and not just stand by idle and forget about your hard work, in this case suing and tarnishing the companies image, it seams is the only way to get their attention.
So be warned, you might not get paid!
My message to Encore is, the promotional community is small so when you try to screw other independent contractors word spreads like wild fire and experienced promoters will want nothing to do with you.

The Woody Allen of Fashion Joins the Club at Saint Laurent
By ELIZABETH HAYT
Published: November 8, 1998
LAST week, on the night before his first day as the new designer for Yves Saint Laurent's ready-to-wear collection, Alber Elbaz laid out his clothes on a chair like a nervous schoolboy. The gesture was purely ceremonial. Mr. Elbaz usually wears an all-black ensemble so rumpled it may as well have been slept in. But the glamour and prestige of his job was unnerving. ''I asked them at Saint Laurent, 'Are you sure it's not a mistake? You can still change your mind,' '' the designer said, with characteristic self-doubt.
You might call Mr. Elbaz, 37, the Woody Allen of fashion, so self-deprecating is his humor. ''If someone says, 'I don't like that dress,' I think she doesn't like me,'' he admitted. ''And if she says, 'I love that dress,' I think she has no taste. So you see, you can't win.''
Clearly, he is of the Groucho Marx school of not wanting to belong to any club that would have him as a member.
But Mr. Elbaz is definitely a member of the club these days. Along with an elite of American designers -- including Tom Ford at Gucci, Michael Kors at Celine, Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton and Narciso Rodriguez at Loewe -- he has taken over at a grand, but moribund European fashion house, and has been charged with bringing it new life.
Mr. Elbaz is the only one among this group to be named by the very designer he is succeeding, Mr. Saint Laurent.
He won the post after successfully modernizing the house of Guy Laroche, a venerable French company that had been flailing since the early 1990's. ''Guy Laroche was all about pink boucle with gold buttons,'' said Mr. Elbaz, who took over in 1996. ''I couldn't go to black leather overnight. So I started with the gold buttons and changed the pink to gray and eventually got to black leather.''
At Saint Laurent, his preference for evolution over revolution is likely to be just as apparent. His personal esthetic -- beautiful, womanly clothes that are above all else, wearable -- is in keeping with his legendary predecessor's.
''To have a good dinner, you have to have a good wine and fresh tomatoes, a past and a present, which will take you into the future,'' said Mr. Elbaz, whose imagination often runs to poetic metaphor.
Many fashion insiders had complained that since Saint Laurent's heyday in the 70's, there had been little innovation in the ready-to-wear line, with the same safari styles repeated each season.
''We understood that we needed to change because the fashion business has changed,'' said Pierre Berge, Mr. Saint Laurent's business partner and president of Yves Saint Laurent couture. ''Alber is American. It's not a question of nationality but of training. American training is very good. The French are totally haute couture and chichi. Old couturiers pretend to be artists. I don't need an artist. I need someone who respects women, craftsmanship and thinks about marketing, strategy and communication. That is Alber.''
With Mr. Saint Laurent now freed to concentrate on couture, it is Mr. Elbaz's responsibility to turn the house into a global enterprise, a skill he developed at Guy Laroche. ''You need colors for South America, New York needs black, California pastels only,'' he said. ''The South needs short, the North long. Within Europe, the German market is looking for one thing, the French another. You make a dress with a coat for the society look or a jacket with pants for the career look.
''The collection has to be versatile but mixed like a cake, not a salad, which is blended in the wrong way,'' he said. ''A cake is blended into one taste.''
Born in Morocco, Mr. Elbaz grew up in Israel, studying fashion design in Tel Aviv before moving to New York in 1986 at age 25.
Three years later, he was hired as an assistant designer for Geoffrey Beene, a position he held for eight years. It was Dawn Mello, formerly the executive vice president of Gucci and now the president of Bergdorf Goodman, who helped him land the job.
''I was looking for a designer for Gucci, and Alber was recommended to me,'' she recalled. ''He wouldn't have been right for Gucci, which was on the sporty track. He did dressy evening clothes. He has a great sense of fantasy and sophistication, and that's why his evening clothes are so good. So I called Geoffrey Beene. Alber learned a lot from Geoffrey. His work became very refined, but he always had his own style.''
That style is deceptively simple. Without elaborate embellishments or silhouettes, Mr. Elbaz relies on classic shapes, a few feminine flourishes, like beading and ribbons, as well as flattering colors to achieve a look that he describes as ''very French -- coquette and chic.''
From his mentor, Mr. Beene, Mr. Elbaz learned how to update styles through daring, complicated construction, placing sharp darts and seams in unconventional places -- across the chest and lower back, for instance.
''The client whom I have in mind wants something beautiful and comfortable," Mr. Elbaz said. ''For evening, the clothes are glamorous but never extravagant. When a woman walks into a room, no one will faint, but she will be noticed.''

Polish man Andrzej Marczuk was sitting in his home on Wednesday morning when the two raiders smashed in through his front door and held a knife to his throat.
"He kept shouting for keys of a car," Mr Marczuk said. He has a number of cars parked in his yard that he is fixing up, and the men grabbed the keys to a 2006 Mitsubishi Space Wagon.
But the car broke down on the way up a hill, and the two men ditched it and ran.
"The guys then took to the fields behind the church and were running towards an abandoned house," said a local man.
"The garda helicopter arrived and was flying very low over the area. Then garda in cars came and arrested them."
The hapless thieves struck Clonalvy on Wednesday morning, but were soon out of their depth.
"They ran into the local shop and post office, and jumped over the counter before getting behind the post office screens and holding a knife to the assistant," one local said.
"But some of the shop workers saw what was happening and rushed to help. The two raiders were quickly outnumbered and started to panic.
"They ran from the shop and dropped the money on the floor on their way out."
Postmistress Ger McGuinness was left shocked by the raid.
But the drama did not end there.
The armed robbers jumped into their getaway car, but could not start it, and a villager succeeded in breaking a window of the stranded vehicle.
The raiders fled down the road to Mr Marczuk's house where they hijacked his car.
The two criminals -- believed to be from Santry and Coolock -- are in their 20s were arrested at about 11am on the same morning.
One was released without charge on Thursday night.

Immortal Beloved Achievement
First off, I have no idea why this game got such a bad rating. I thought it was awesome. Nevertheless, I would like to mention that this is a cake achievement. The only potential issue with missing this achievement is on the boss battles. If you miss this achieve on your first playthrough, do this.... On your second playthrough, when you get to the boss level, hit the start button and exit the game. Choose level select and go to the boss battle you are about to do. Practice here to familiarize yourself with the level. Once you feel confident, continue on your campaign. If all else fails and you look very close to death, quickly hit pause and exit the game. Alas, you shouldn't need to. If you are playing on Spooky difficulty, you should be money. Enjoy!

On the money: King touts Sainsbury's private-label strength
King said Sainsbury's has "real quality advantage" in food
Sainsbury's chief executive Justin King believes UK consumers can use own label to offset the pressure of rising inflation - and has insisted the retailer has a competitive advantage over its rivals in non-branded goods.
UK inflation jumped in October, with the country's consumer price index on Tuesday (13 November) showing prices increased 2.7% last month, up from a rate of 2.2% in September.
Food prices, particularly of produce after the wet summer and of confectionery after manufacturers reduced pack sizes, was a key factor in the higher inflation rate in October.
Speaking yesterday after Sainsbury's reported its financial results for the first half of its financial year, King said a "tick up" in inflation could put pressure on household budgets.
However, he said "the winners" in the grocery industry would be those that "help customers with the challenge". Own label and money-off vouchers were ways of saving customers money, King said. These were two areas in which Sainsbury's fared better than its rivals, he insisted, reflecting on the retailer's advertising slogan of Live Well For Less.
"The best way to dial out inflation for customers is to switch into own-label and to use vouchers and coupons to cut the cost of the weekly shop," he said.
"Live Well For Less is an advertising copy line but it's what sits behind it that makes it really different, most notably own label. Customers tells us it's our own brand that really helps them live well for less. That sits alongside [price comparison scheme Brand Match, which has been hugely successful. Those two together, reassurance that they don't need to spend any more on brands and continuing to drive our quality difference in own label is a winning combination," he asserted.
Sainsbury's cited its "continued investment and growth" in own label as it reported higher first-half sales and profits.
Pre-tax profits were up 2.5% to GBP405m in the 28 weeks to 29 September. Revenue grew 4% to GBP12.16bn, excluding VAT and including fuel.
Sainsbury's said its like-for-like sales, excluding sales at the pumps but including VAT, were up 1.7%.
The retailer said its share of the UK grocery market had reached 16.7%, its highest level for "nearly a decade".
Sainsbury's also provided data that it said showed how its own-label products were faring better than its competitors. Citing Kantar Worldpanel data for the 28 weeks to 30 September, it said major UK grocers, excluding Sainsbury's had increased their own-brand sales by 1.6% year-on-year. Sainsbury's private-label sales were up 4%, it said. Some 49.7% of Sainsbury's sales are now in own label, versus 47.1% at its rivals.
King said: "We have the highest proportion of sales for own-label among major grocers and also it is growing fastest. It is the key way customers are living well for less. A key way customers deal with inflation is to trade out of brands and into own label, saving at least 20%, at comparable or better quality."
There was agreement among analysts that Sainsbury's had had success with its own label and money-off schemes.
"On the strategy front, Sainsbury's continues to successfully steer between delivering good quality food and promoting compelling value for money messages. Charting such a course sounds easy in theory but, as both Tesco and more recently Morrisons have found to their cost, it is difficult to execute well. Sainsbury's has kept both plates spinning with initiatives such as the on-going own label refresh delivering growth and Brand Match helping to increase loyalty and prevent switching," Conlumino MD Neil Saunders said.
Looking to Christmas, King insisted this year's festive period would be similar to previous years.
"What our customers are telling us is 'yes times are tough but family occasions are still there to be enjoyed and celebrated'. As has been true now for the last three years, people will splash out at Christmas, it will absolutely be about quality food and we think own-label will be a key trend," he said.

Brattleboro Retreat can use building for vetsFebruary 19,2013Retreat can use building for vets
BRATTLEBORO The Vermont Environmental Court has sided with the Brattleboro Retreat on a proposal to house patients participating in the psychiatric hospitals Uniformed Service Program.
The program brings to Vermont firefighters, police officers, emergency medical technicians and service members suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
The retreat wants to use the eight-room Meadowlark Inn on Gibson road to house the patients while they are in Brattleboro.
The town Development Review Board approved the plan last June, but two neighbors objected, saying the Retreats use of the building would transform the property into a therapeutic community residence. They asked the environmental court to overturn the boards decision.
The Brattleboro Reformer says a judge ruled the retreat could rent the rooms to patients, although it could not offer psychiatric services or therapy there.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...

Skill Level Appropriate for all
It goes without saying that you want whatever you are presenting on camera to be understood by the audience. In order for that to happen, you must speak clearly. So in this movie, we're going to learn about delivery and diction. While a lot of this movie is about being an on-camera presenter, much of this lesson will certainly benefit anyone who will be interviewed on TV or radio. I hope you stay with me. I think a great place to start is with your own name, because we've each said our name our whole lives, we often rush through it and slur the words.
After all we know who we are, right? Let's correct this right now. I'm going to say my name as if I'm introducing myself to you. My name is Rick Allen Lippert. Think about how that sounds when you don't enunciate it. My name is Rick Allen Lippert. Hope you can see how important this little act is. If you are going to be an on-camera presenter, your first job is to be prepared. Start by reading aloud the script, maybe even several times.
Train your ear how it should sound. If there is an area or a passage that gives you trouble every time, it may need to be rewritten. Sometime scripts are written by people with a print background. There's a difference in writing for the eye versus the ear. I believe that if the talent has trouble with a passage, then it's the writer's fault. That passage needs to be rewritten. And I say that as a writer myself. You may need to talk with the director about making the script work for you. Above all, it should be conversational.
But let's assume the script is well-written and that you've rehearsed it several times. You've done your vocal exercises to find your natural voice with the proper breath support. So let's work on your delivery. Unless directed otherwise, just be yourself. The more natural you are, the more comfortable and accepting your audience will be. As I've said before, smiling makes you more approachable and confident. When you start actually narrating or speaking after being given the action cue, you want to use the appropriate emotion.
The content will dictate how you should feel about it. You'll also want to vary your delivery. Don't read each sentence the exact same way. Dynamic delivery is more entertaining than monotone. (video playing) Speaking in appropriate phrases, using pauses, and putting the right emphasis on the right syllables is important for the audience to absorb the information you're presenting. Understanding technical information isn't as important as sounding like you understand it.
Again, it's best to have a content expert there to offer guidance. What should you do if you make a mistake? The type of production will determine what happens next. They may want to stop the recording and reset things, or they may have you just back up and start over. Unless directed to stop after a bobble, you generally want to just pause, then go back to the start of the sentence or paragraph and pick it up just before the mistake. (video playing) They may be able to edit out the bobble, or cover it with different video.
If, however, you are speaking extemporaneously, or in an interview, a little flub or bobble may be minor enough to not bother the audience. In this case, the quicker you blow it off and keep going, the quicker the audience will forget about it. (video playing) Think of it like the ice skaters who fall during their performance. They just get right up and finish their routine.
Would you like to sound more intelligent when you are on camera? Of course you would. Then enunciate your consonants. This may take some practice. Don't slur your Ds and Ts or drop your Gs unless it's part of your presentation. Let's practice a minute. There is a line that I use when I rehearse. You can use the same line when you practice as well. Here it is. "Wouldn't you like to start renovating the wooden patio decking?" This sentence has a couple of traps.
I hope your 'wouldn't' sounded differently from your wooden. Did you enunciate the Ts in out, start, renovating, and patio? The last time I checked, patio did not have a D in it. And did you keep the G in renovating and decking? Or did your sentence sound like, wouldn't you like to go out and start renovating the wooden patio deck in? Another common diction problem that many people have is chewing their words. This happens when the word "you" follows a word that ends in a T or a D, like the sentence we just practiced.
Did you say wouldn't you or wooden you? Sometimes people have regional dialects that affect how they speak. Take for instance, what did you have? In many parts of the country that might sound like whadjahav? Without a lot of practice, you probably won't lose a regional dialect, but with practice, you can certainly sound more of what's called General American. That's what they mean by no regional dialect. My background is from the South, but on camera I try to avoid sounding like it.
So avoid colloquialisms unless they're germane to your topic. Remember your audience. They might not be from your neck of the woods. You want them to remember what you say, not the fact that you ain't from around here.

Democrats Put Spotlight on Companies Moving Overseas
New data from the Congressional Research Service shed light on a hot tax question: How many corporations have exited the U.S. for tax purposes in recent years?
A summary released Monday by House Democrats says that 47 U.S. corporations have reincorporated overseas through so-called inversions in the last 10 years. That's "far more than during the previous 20 years combined," Democrats say. And there are about a dozen prospective inversion deals involving U.S. corporations looking to reincorporate overseas, according to the data.

The full list of corporate inversions from the report is available here.
Rep. Sander Levin (D., Mich.) posted the report to make the case for legislation he's pushing that would make it harder for companies to move for tax purposes to the U.K., Ireland or other popular destinations. They usually do so by merging with another company – often a smaller one – that's already overseas.
So far the legislation isn't moving very quickly. Republicans and some Democrats say the proposed legislation is too narrow, and could make it even harder to fix the fundamental problems with the U.S. international tax system. Unlike almost all other developed countries, the U.S. still taxes multinationals on their global earnings; most countries tax only domestic earnings, for the most part. The U.S. rate of 35% also is now the highest in the developed world. Many other countries have cut their rates substantially to remain attractive for corporate headquarters.
Inversions have gotten more attention in recent years, on the heels of cross-border moves by the likes of Eaton Corp. in 2012. A recent unsuccessful effort by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. to take over AstraZeneca PLC and move to the U.K. stoked concerns in Washington, and helped prompt Mr. Levin's legislative effort.
Many lawmakers in both parties want a comprehensive solution. But Mr. Levin's legislation still could catch fire if another big inversion deal surfaces.

PHOENIX -- Tempers flared and punches were thrown.
The Phoenix Suns and Indiana Pacers got into it Saturday night on the court, and kept yapping after the game.
Amar'e Stoudemire scored 30 points for the third consecutive game and the Suns beat the Pacers 113-105 for the 1,900th victory in franchise history in a game marred by two fights and eight technical fouls.
"We have the reputation of being soft," Indiana's Earl Watson said, "but we're not going to give in to anybody."
Things got heated with 46.7 seconds remaining in the third period when Watson appeared to push the Suns' Channing Frye. Indiana's Danny Granger then took a swipe at Frye, who swung back. The Pacers' Roy Hibbert and the Suns' Jason Richardson joined in, and both were hit with technicals, along with Granger. Frye was assessed two technical fouls, an automatic ejection.
For the remainder of the game, Granger was booed unmercifully every time he touched the ball.
"I was just setting a screen for Steve [Nash], and Earl swatted my hands away the first time and that wasn't a big deal," Frye said. "And the second time, I don't think it was the right play. I want to emphasize it's not my style of play to be pushing people and doing things like that. But I think at a certain point, you've got to protect yourself.
"I wasn't going to punch him. It wasn't about me punching. It wasn't the right play, but it was me just letting him know I didn't think that was acceptable."
Granger said the Suns "were playing dirty."
"I told my teammates to watch and see what happens," he said. "We've got to stick up for each other and play as a team. One of their guys took a cheap shot at my teammate."
Watson blamed Frye for the melee.
"The first time he dunked, he hit with his elbow," Watson said. "Then he put his hands on me. I told him to put his hands down. He pushed me and it escalated after that point."
Watson also was the center of attention in the teams' first meeting this season, when he bloodied Nash's face with an elbow. Nash required several stitches.
"Channing had to defend himself," Richardson said. "That's what happens when tempers flare. That's something that happens in basketball."
Hibbert, of course, supported his teammates.
"We had each other's back out there," Hibbert said. "Whatever happened in that little skirmish, we want to protect each other."
Things also got testy midway through the second period when Indiana's Josh McRoberts and Phoenix's Louis Amundson scuffled. Both received technicals.
Early in the fourth quarter, Indiana coach Jim O'Brien was hit with a technical for arguing with officials.
Grant Hill added 22 points for the Suns, Richardson had 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Jared Dudley also had a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds.
Granger led the Pacers with 24 points, Hibbert scored 22, including 12 for 12 from the foul line, and Troy Murphy had 19 points and 16 rebounds.
The loss was the Pacers' seventh in eight games and sixth in a row on the road. They now are 5-21 against Western Conference teams.
The game started with poor shooting as the Suns began 5 for 15 and the Pacers 4 for 20. After that, the Suns' marksmanship improved dramatically and finished the half at 52.6 percent (20 for 38) with a 63-57 lead, while Indiana wound up at 34.7 percent (17 for 49).
The Pacers cut into a 12-point deficit at 63-51 with 3-pointers by Granger and Watson, who stole an inbounds pass from Amundson, in the final 2.8 seconds.
Indiana stayed close with the aid of its offensive rebounding. The Pacers had 24 second-chance points off 10 offensive boards.
Stoudemire had 17 points at the half, including nine straight during a two-minute span late in the second quarter.
- The Pacers were without two of their big men: Jeff Foster (sore lower back) and Tyler Hansbrough (inner ear infection), while the Suns were missing their top two backup guards: Goran Dragic (right ankle sprain) and Leandro Barbosa (right wrist surgery).
- Indiana's Mike Dunleavy left midway through the third period with a bruised chest.
- After facing the Pacers, the Suns will not play until Friday, a rare five-day break at this time of the season.
- The Pacers have used 22 starting lineups this season.
