We had ordered these items before. This order one of the items was NOT even shown on the site, it was a cheap hanging organizer, not like the ones we usually order. Anybody with half a brain could see they were not the same size the same item at all. We are finished with them, so do not trust them to send the right item. Its a hassle them to return. They just did not have another one avaiable and just sent something. We are finished with them, so beware!!

A new federal report finds Mississippi now has the nation's highest teen pregnancy rate, displacing Texas and New Mexico for that lamentable title.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Mississippi's rate was more than 60 percent higher than the national average in 2006. The teen pregnancy rate in Texas and New Mexico was more than 50 percent higher.
The three states have large proportions of black and Hispanic teenagers, groups that traditionally have higher birth rates, experts noted.
The lowest teen birth rates continue to be in New England, where three states have teen birth rates at just half the national average.
It's not clear why Mississippi surged into first place. Ron Cossman, a Mississippi State University researcher who focuses on children's health statistics, says the state's one-year increase of nearly 1,000 teen births could be a statistical blip.

If you've been wondering why Slate has been so terrible recently, so Upworthy and Buzzfeedy, it's a good bet the cause is the smothering presence of neoliberal turd Matt Yglesias. A twitterati with no degree in economics, he regularly suggests the answer might be somewhere in the middle and gives a thorough tongue bath to big business. He writes 3-4 articles a day, so there are a lot of bad ones, but I have picked out some of my favorites to celebrate from 2013.
Premise: A man who never leaves a city and calls himself a liberal finally gets to go inside a Walmart and he loves it. Turns out liberals were wrong. Walmarts are great. You can buy all sorts of things. Before the article ends he contradicts himself and decides that Walmarts are doomed in the age of Amazon.
Premise: This article repeats about once a month on Slate, with good reason. If you had to summarize the ideology Yglesias tries to communicate as a writer (he is no more a journalist than Fark's approval queue) it is that Amazon Is The World's Most Amazing Company.
Someone told TIME magazine about trolling and now we all just have to deal with it.

Former QPR and Crystal Palace boss Holloway this week took over from Steve Lomas, who was sacked on Boxing Day, and met the players for the first time on Tuesday.
Defender Robinson told the club website: "He's full of excitement and enthusiasm, and he spoke really well to us.
"The chairman and the board have done really well to appoint someone of his calibre because he comes with a track record of getting clubs promoted out of this division.
"The manager has always had his teams playing attractive football, and the players are looking forward to the challenge of working on that style of play over the coming weeks and months.
"Our first task is to begin picking up points quickly because we're desperate to move away from that relegation zone.
"The potential in this squad hasn't been realised so far this season, but you can see that the manager is excited about getting the best out of us. He believes there is a lot of quality amongst the players."

Who needs a UK visa?
If you are not a British citizen you might need entry clearance (that is permission) to enter the UK. Only British nationals, European Union citizens, non-EU member states of the European Economic Area (EEA - Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland), Switzerland, and members of the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) are exempt from needing a visa to enter the UK.
If you do not fall under any of the above-mentioned states, you must check whether you will need a visa for entry, or for long stays (over 6 months).
There are 56 countries and territories that do not need an entry visa for stays of up to 6 months. Anyone planning on staying for longer than the permitted six months must obtain a proper visa (study, work, or otherwise) in order to remain in the UK legally.
Since December 2013, citizens of Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have been able to obtain an Electronic Visa Waiver (EVW) online. This allows them to visit or study for up to six months without a visa. For stays longer than six months, a visa is required.
You will also need a visa if you:
- are stateless (you do not have a nationality).
- hold a non-national travel document (a travel document which does not give you the nationality or citizenship of the country that issued it).
- hold a passport issued by an authority unrecognised in the UK.
- are a refugee (whether you plan to work or study, even for 6 months or less).
Nationals of the following 10 countries now need a visa when staying in the UK longer than six months: Australia, Canada, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea and the USA.
You can find out what type of entry clearance you need based on your nationality, purpose of the visit and country location, by going to the Foreign Office page, click here .
Visas are issued for a maximum stay of six months. If you require a visa and wish to remain in the UK longer than six months, you must leave the country and apply for a new visa. If you wish to leave and return to the UK within the duration of your visa, it will save you a lot of trouble if you apply for a multiple-entry visa. If you only have a single-entry visa you will have to apply for a new visa each time you leave the country.
Make sure you check whether you need a visa or not as there are many different types of visas (study, work, marriage, joining a spouse, visitor, amongst others) and you may or may not require one depending on nationality or amount of time you plan to remain in the UK.
Where to apply for a United Kingdom visa?
Visas and other forms of entry clearance (such as an entry certificate) for England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland need to be obtained prior to your arrival in Great Britain. You must also be outside the Isle of Man and the Channels Island to apply for your visa. Visa applications are started online via the Apply for a UK Visa website. Before starting your online application, check the website's list of visa application centers so you know where you must go for your face to face appointment (it could be in another country).
How to apply for a UK visa?
To start application for a visa, you must enter the website mentioned above and choose your visa type. Then you will need to:
- register for an account
- fill out the application form (in English)
- pay for the visa fee online if applicable
- print out your form
- book and attend an appointment at any of their listed visa application centers
If you are required to have an appointment, you must bring the following original (no photocopies are allowed) support documents (this does not guarantee that your visa will be approved and you must keep that in mind):
- Valid travel documentation (passport or any document that allows you to travel internationally)
- One passport sized photograph
Strongly recommended support documents:
- Previous travel documentation
- Financial documents to prove economic solvency, this can be in the form of a bank statement, proof of earnings (letter from employer, with start date of employment, salary, position and contact details), or letter and documentation from a third party that resides or visits the UK legally at the time of your stay, providing financial support (in addition to themselves and/or family)
- Confirmation of legal residence (if you reside in a country that is not where your passport was issued)
- Details of employment or studies (confirmation from education institute or employer confirming your enrollment)
- Business registration documents if you are self employed
For underage applicants:
- Birth certificate or legal document that proves relationship with parent or guardian
- Signed letter from parents or guardian confirming details of care and accommodation in the UK, a copy of their passport or other official document with a signature on it
For specific types of visitors, you can check all the documentation needed here .
Visa applications can take from 3 to 8 weeks to be approved (or denied). It is recommended that you apply approximately three months before your travels to allow enough time for the application to be processed.
If you are denied a visa you will be notified in writing of the refusal and the reasons for it. In certain cases you will have the right to appeal the decision and as such will be given advice on how to do so. Instead of appealing you can simply apply again, but if the reasons for the initial refusal still apply, your application will probably be turned down again.

An easy to use plugin that gives you control over nofollow tags. It's as easy as checkboxes. Doesn't use much overhead and does not conflict with any other themes or plugins I'm currently using. Great, responsive developer. Thanks for this one!
UPDATE 4/27/15: Sad emoji.
One of the easiest ways to select links to get a nofollow. The easiest way I've found to be selective with my property's SEO juice.
Unfortunately, this (and other plugin's like it) break WordPress 4.2.x. I was unable to use the links dialog box until I deactivated this plugin.
Hopefully, this will be fixed soon. This is a five-star plug-in otherwise!

The Man Behind Real Steel Is Remaking John Carpenter's Starman
If you grew up in the '80s, Starman is one of those movies you watched a lot. It was basically on all the time, and told a great story about an alien and woman falling in love while on the run. That simplicity and familiarity mean only one thing: it's time for a remake.

Cryopump Parts Quick
15K Array Kits
Array Only
Helium Flex
Lines and fittings
Cryopump Troubleshooting
The following troubleshooting tips
cover very basic cryopump maintenance and troubleshooting. If you require
detailed technical assistance please contact the pump manufacturer.
You are of course welcome to contact SFC
with questions.
Most cryopumps provide years of trouble-free
operation with little maintenance and down time. These pumps are not
maintenance-free however and knowing when and what to service can
save time and money on expensive overhauls or replacements. Always
follow the cryopump manufacturers instructions located in the system
The following tips cover a few of the more common
problems encountered when operating cryopumps.
Symptom: Increase in ultimate pressure or
normal operating temperature.
Unlike a turbo or diffusion vacuum pump the cryopump
retains all of the gases it has pumped and will eventually need to
be emptied. (Regeneration)
Generally, If the compressor is operating, the cold head is
quietly turning and the temperature is in the normal range, the only
possible cause of pressure increase is a full pump or increased gas
load such as a leak. Perform a helium leak test on the vacuum
system and regenerate the cryopump per the
Symptom: Cryopump failing rate-of-rise-test
after regeneration. Regeneration completed but pressure and
temperature problems still exist.
If the cryopump has been exposed to atmosphere while
cold, an additional or extended regeneration may be necessary.
Roughing the cryopump for extended periods or opening the rough
valve while the pump is cold can allow contamination from mechanical
pump oil back-streaming. The interval between array replacement
varies greatly depending on the type and conditions of normal use.
If the extra regeneration does not correct the problem the
15K Charcoal array may need
to be replaced.
Symptom: The cold head is making strange
If the cold head runs smoothly until it has begun to
cool and suddenly starts to make ratcheting sounds or otherwise
stops turning smoothly, the helium circuit has become contaminated.
Severe contamination may cause the pump mechanism to seize.
Perform the decontamination procedure per manufacturers
instructions. This procedure is not difficult but does require a
maintenance manifold and care should be taken to follow the
instructions closely.
If the cryopump compressor starts and continues to
run for half an hour it's probably okay. It may require service but
at least it's not dead. The adsorber should be changed at the proper
intervals as specified by the manufacturer. If not changed the
adsorber can allow compressor oil into the helium circuit which can
lead to costly repairs. Adsorber replacement for most compressors is
a simple task but again, the installation instructions should be
followed closely.
Correct helium pressure within the compressor is very
important. Low pressure can result in high pump temperature and may
indicate a leak in the helium circuit. Higher than normal pressure
can cause the compressor overload to trip. Check both static and
dynamic pressures against the specifications for your specific unit.
If you find you are having to add helium more than once or twice a
year, there is probably a leak somewhere in the helium circuit. Use
a helium leak detector to isolate the leak.
Improper line voltage, frequency and phase can cause
numerous cryopump system malfunctions. Insure that the compressor
and pump are connected exactly as indicated in the installation
manual and verify the proper voltage and phase of input power.
Symptoms of improper power connections and/or connections can
include complete failure to operate, sluggish or stopped cold head
operation, tripping of compressor breakers, and others. Check the
installation manual for power requirements and connections.

Guy fills pool with 1,500 gallons of Coca-Cola and adds Mentos because summer
What else is there to do with that much soda?!
Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants, and vending machines in more than 200 countries. It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta, Georgia, and is often referred to simply as Coke (a registered trademark of The Coca-Cola Company in the United States since March 27, 1944). Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century.
The company produces concentrate, which is then sold to licensed Coca-Cola bottlers throughout the world. The bottlers, who hold territorially exclusive contracts with the company, produce finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate in combination with filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola to retail stores and vending machines. Such bottlers...
What else is there to do with that much soda?!
Nothing like taking a relaxing dip in a swimming pool full of Coke, ice and some Mentos.
Bill Backer, creator of Coca Cola's 'Hilltop,' ad, died at 89.
Coke is redesigning all of its cans to fit a more "unified" look.
Tell your aunt that the photo she posted on Facebook is false.
Coke enlisted a little help from the Avengers to save its Super Bowl commercial this year.
It's easy to feel removed, and relatively helpless, during the Flint water crisis. But you can take action, no matter where you are.
Corporate giants are sending over thousands of bottles as the embattled town continues to try to survive poisonous water supplies.
It's the perfect combination of salty and sweet flavors.
Coca-Cola is under fire for an adt unveiled in Mexico, focusing on the indigenous Mixe community, that many believe struck a racist, colonialist and offensive tone.
A polar bear who drinks Coca-Cola will almost always be having a good time.
The beverage giant, which announced the replenishment target in 2007, said it's already "balancing" about 94% of the water, meaning it puts back almost as much as it takes in.
Coke is dropping its iconic logo from some cans to urge people not to label one another.
Corporate "anti-logos" are designed to pressure corporations into backing off support for the international sporting event.
Matthew Weiner thinks we're looking at it all wrong. Here's why that's not true.
The 'Mad Men' finale left us with so many questions.
In April 1950, Coke launched a marketing campaign it now calls "La révolution du froid" (The cold revolution).
The world's biggest beverage maker, which struggles with declining soda consumption in the U.S., is working with fitness and nutrition experts who suggest its cola as a healthy treat.
There's nothing like a nice soak after a long day.
Coke just made a winking eye smiley face at the Internet.
Like the teens it markets to, Coca-Cola has no time for voice mail.
If you think it's pretty ridiculous that unhealthy soda is easily available to the masses, but a glass of crystal clear water is not, you're not alone.
The return of Surge, as an Amazon exclusive. It's been a long, dreary 12 years.
It might be time to throw some cold water on this thing.

This is the cleanest, easiest to clean litter I've had. The mess clumps really well and it a tray for ages if you refill every now and then. It's well worth the money as it lasts so much longer and keeps smells under control. Our girls have been on this since they were kittens and I don't think I'd ever use anything else.

I got this litter due to the reviews and the fact that it was clumping and you were able to flush the clumps down the loo. When I bought my kitten home, I was unsure he would use it, as the breeder had trained him on a supermarket 'basic' litter. So the first day I was very worried whether he would use it. Also I had read that you should use the same litter that they had been brought up with, unfortunately I didn't have this supermarket local to me. Anyway, I needn't have worried as the little rascal used his tray and litter without any issues whatsoever. Very impressive! The odour control is good and it is very easy to pick up the clumps. Some may think it expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for, and this litter with last a very long time.

Product Reviewed: 30Lt
I absolutely love this litter! Only thing I would suggest is unless you have varied your litter in the past, introduce it gradually. If your cat isn't used to it, it may not use it. I bought one of the large self-cleaning litter trays from PetPlanet, and this litter doesn't work quite as well, you have to be careful to make sure all the good stuff has gone through the grids before you get the wast in the scoop. However, it clumps really well, my cats seem to love it and more importantly since I have been using this stuff, you don't get the smells! Its lighter as well, so I its easier to carry about and you put the same quantity in the tray but its lighter. Highly recommended.

We offer free community health screenings during which our healthcare team can meet with members of the community to discuss the importance of preventive cardiology and answer questions. Some examples of discussion topics are:
- How to lower your cholesterol
- What your blood pressure numbers mean
- What you can do to maintain a healthy heart
Depending on the location and setting of the health screenings, free blood-pressure screening and personal consultations/evaluations are available.
Community Educational Programs and Lectures
Senior healthcare professionals conduct free educational programs and lectures. These programs are geared towards the questions and concerns of the attending community members.
To arrange a customized screening or lecture, call (855) HEART-11 or (855) 432 -7811.
Our cardiologists collaborate with other specialists to provide comprehensive care to our patients. Our multi-disciplinary approach can include:
Support group
Northwell Health connects patients with organizations managed by peers who have experienced cardiac surgery. The following organizations are able to provide additional support:
Mended Hearts, Inc./Mended Little Hearts: a national and community based organization that provides individuals who experienced heart surgery or heart disease an opportunity to encourage and support patients with similar conditions. The Mended Heart volunteers conduct hospital visits while a patient recovers, online check-ins and additional support through phone conversations. Learn more about this organization.
WomenHeart is a national coalition for women with heart disease that provides educational information, support and additional services. Learn more about this organization.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Top executives at Wachovia Corp. are eligible to receive up to $98.1 million in severance, assuming the bank's acquisition by Wells Fargo & Co. is completed by Dec. 31 as expected.
Ten executives, not including CEO Robert Steel, have employment agreements that provide for severance payments in the event of termination after a change of control of the company -- according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Spokeswoman Christy Phillips-Brown says the actual payout will be less than $98.1 million because two of the executives have already accepted positions with Wells Fargo.
Several others are currently in discussions with the San Francisco-based bank.

The EU-Jamaica relations in a nutshell
1975 - Lomé I Convention
Coinciding with the fourth EDF, the first Lomé Convention is aimed at including, after the accession of Britain to the Community, some of the Commonwealth countries, including Jamaica, in the cooperation program.
1979 - Lomé II Convention
Corresponding to the fifth EDF, it does not introduce major changes, except for the SYSMIN system (help to the mining industry of those ACP countries strongly dependent on it).
1984 - Lomé III Convention
Corresponding to the sixth EDF, it shifts the main attention from the promotion of industrial development to self-reliant development on the basis of self-sufficiency and food security.
1989 - Lomé IV Convention
This is the first Convention to cover a ten-year period and comprising the seventh and the eight EDFs. Great emphasis is put on: the promotion of human rights, democracy and good governance; strengthening of the position of women; the protection of the environment; decentralized cooperation; diversification of ACP economies; the promotion of the private sector; and increasing regional cooperation.
1994-1995 Revised Lomé IV
The Mid-term review takes place in 1994-1995, in the context of major economic and political changes in ACP countries (democratization process, structural adjustment), in Europe (enlargement, increasing attention to East European and Mediterranean partners), and in the international environment (Uruguay Round Agreement).
2000 - The Cotonou Agreement
The "ACP-EC Partnership Agreement" or "Cotonou Agreement" was concluded for a twenty-year period from March 2000 to February 2020, and entered into force in April 2003. It was for the first time revised in June 2005, with the revision entering into force on 1 July 2008.
The 10th EDF covers the period from 2008 to 2013 and has been allocated € 22.7 billion. In comparison to the 9th EDF which covered the period 2000 to 2007, the initial amount available has increased by almost 65 % (the 9th EDF was initially allocated € 13.8 billion for 2000-2007).
Jamaica recieved initall allocation of € 110 million frm 10th EDF, which became €129 million euros after the additions.
October 2008 – EU – CARIFORUM Economic Partnership Agreement
The EPA replaced the trade chapter of the Cotonou Agreement and fosters regional integration in the Caribbean Region.Back to Political & economic relations

Once I get past the step of setting up the Open Graph action (publish to a article), I can't successfully complete the step of posting something to my timeline.
After setting up the Open Graph item, I check the box in Social Publisher to publish posts to the user's timeline. I have ensured that Facebook is connected and that permissions for my site are set up. I then push out a test post and don't see it appear on my own timeline - thus when I click "Submit" for Open Graph review, Facebook doesn't think there's any content that has been published.
Is there something else I'm missing here? I've tried deleting and re-creating the open graph steps, uninstalling and re-installing the plugin, re-authenticating the app - nothing has worked.

Used independently or reserved for use in an animal unit {or other relevant unit of study!}, this giraffe play dough counting mat from Karen Cox of PreKinders would make a great math and fine motor center activity for your preschoolers! Students strengthen number recognition as they identify the numeral at the top of the mat and build fine motor/counting skills as they pinch the appropriate number of 'leaves' from their ball of green play dough.
The best part is, you can 'get more miles' out of this activity by changing up the math manipulatives used to complete it. Here's a non-exhaustive list of possibilities {...that will also allow you to reuse the activity mats}:
Other Considerations...
However you decide to use these mats, you can be certain that your students will be getting some great counting practice! Head over to PreKinders for the download and be sure to check out Karen's other fantastic resources!
Happy Counting!

Hi, I have installed and configured the plugin. It is working perfectly, but only when I'm logged in (as an administrator, haven't tried on other user though).
However, after I log out, it's displying the error message. Still voting is possible, the script says 'thank you for voting' and the result is being saved, so I can see it properly after I log in again.
Does this have anything to do with the way my code is retrieving posts data? Any suggestion will be appreciated...

$the_query = new WP_Query('showposts=2&orderby=post_date&order=desc&category_name=film,ksiazka');
while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

Skill Level Beginner
One way that you can change the look and function of your Drupal site without changing the theme is to use a feature called Blocks. Blocks let you put text or graphics, or even dynamic content at various points in the pages. For example in the left column, right column, top, or bottom. To use Blocks, first go to Administer and then Blocks. Here you have a list of various blocks, including those that are built into Drupal and are turned on by default. In this case, in the Left sidebar we see the User login and the Navigation Bar.
The User login only shows up when somebody is logged out. So we'll log out here and see what that looks like, here is the User login and we are going to login again. Let's go back to Blocks now. As you go down, you see that the blocks are divided into various zones, the Left sidebar, Right sidebar, Content, Header, Footer. And as you look around the page, you see that these are graphically shown, Header up top, Left sidebar, Right sidebar, and so forth. At the bottom of the list of blocks are those that are not showing up on the page at all. You can move these into any of the above areas by either clicking on this arrow symbol and dragging it into the area. I am going to drag that back now or by grabbing this drop down menu and choosing the area where you want that block to appear.
Whenever you make a change, even if you drag it back to its original place there is a note that says that the changes will not be saved until you click on Save Blocks. The block layout on a page is specific to the theme, let's go to administer themes and see how that works, Administer and Themes. Right now we only have one theme enabled - the Garland theme. But let's say we also have Blue Marine available to us, we'll enable that and click on Save Configuration and then go back to Administer and Blocks. Now you'll notice we have a choice, Garland and Blue Marine up here. If we make a change in Garland, let's say we disable the Powered by Drupal badge that appears at the bottom of the screen, by dragging it down here.
Scroll to the bottom, click Save Blocks, and then we switch to Blue Marine. Aha! Powered by Drupal is still showing up in that footer. Let's go back to Garland and put it back. So remember, if you make a change in where blocks appear, you have to make that change to whatever theme is going to be active on your site. I am going to go down and just return this to the footer and click on Save Blocks. There are three types of blocks, which you can see in this list here. The first kind comes built-in automatically with Drupal. We already mentioned these - the User login block, Navigation block, the Powered by Drupal block, which you can see at the bottom of the page by default, is the one right down here.
A second kind of block appears only when it's installed by a module, let's go ahead and do that. We'll go back up to Administer and Modules and then turn on the blog Module. As always, we go down to the bottom of the page, click on Save configuration and then we'll go back to Administer and Blocks. As we scroll down, we'll notice a new entry in this list, Recent blog posts. If we drag that up to the right hand side bar, then whenever somebody on the site has added a blog post that will appear in the right hang column. We don't have to do that now, so we'll just leave it at none and save our blocks.
The third kind of block that appears in this list is that which you create explicitly by clicking on Add Block. I'll give you an example of this by going to my own website, savemyhomebook.com. Up in the left hand corner, we have a custom made block because I didn't like the way that it just showed, Admin and then there was a separate Logout link. I wanted to bring it all together into a one link. So I created this using some PHP code, so it says Logout Admin. This is a custom block out here, and we could actually go and take a look at the code to see how that works. By the way I got that code off of the drupal.org website, in the Code Snippet section, but let's go back to our site for now.
If we want to add such a block, we would click on Add Block. The block description we'll call Promotions, the blog title is also Promotions and in the block body we'll say, Buy two houses, get one free. Now let's continue on and take a look at all the options you have when you add a block. First of all, as when you add content you can choose the input format that you use. We'll just use filtered HTML, since Plain Text works just fine there. You also can choose what users will see this block and on what pages that block will be seen. You can choose specific roles that will see that block. So for example, it might be a block that helps people edit pages, but you only want people who are able to edit pages to see that block.
Well of course you could check or uncheck the roles that are appropriate. You can change whether or not users can choose whether to see that block or not. So for example, you could say they cannot control weather they see this block. That will always show the block, and they won't have any choice on it. If you say, show it by default but let them hide it or hide it by default and let them show it, then they can change that by going to their user page and change it in their profile with check boxes. Finally, you could decide on what pages you want that block to appear. For example, you might want a block to appear on every internal page but not on the homepage. In which case you would fill out the appropriate fields here and list the pages that you didn't want it to appear on here, including PHP code. We are going to have it show on every page, so we'll say Save Block. Now we look down our list of blocks and we see under disabled, we have our new block called Promotions. Whenever you create a new block, it always starts out as disabled that is, it's not automatically put on your page. We want that to be, let's say in the Right Hand column. So we'll do that and go back down to the bottom and click on Save; and there it is, it now shows up in the Right Hand Column.
Let's go back to homepage to see exactly how that looks. Tada! We now have our custom made block in the right hand column and nothing else on the page has changed. Blocks are one of Drupal's most powerful features, especially if you use them to show dynamic content such as the latest comment or blog post. Like many powerful features, however, it's easy to overuse them and make your site hard to navigate by throwing every block on to the page, but judicious use of blocks, can really improve ease at navigation and improve user engagement.

PERFECTION! Nintendo Does It Again =),
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nintendo DSi XL Burgundy (Video Game)
Nintendo does it again!
I am going to be honest when i say i really wanted the BURGUNDY colored DSi XL. However, when i stopped by my local Toys R Us today, there weren't any on display. I couldn't imagine myself walking around with a Pink DSi XL. I'm a guy after all! Hahaha
This is an extremely well built device. One can feel the quality when the device is in your hand (Even though it says Made in China on the back). After all, this is Nintendo & they always deliver. I never upgraded to the DSi and i am so glad i held off because i didn't want to sacrifice my DS Lite and lose out on all my GB Advance games. I have been waiting for this device ever since i heard it was coming out last holiday and it's finally arrived in the US. I am beyond pleased with my upgrade. For anyone who is debating on whether they should shell out the money for the DSi XL - I would recommend that you do yourself a favor & UPGRADE! For the two huge screens alone, it's totally worth it. I still kept my DS Lite because I do enjoy the backwards capability of the GBA games. It would have been nice if the GBA slot was incorporated in the fourth-generation DS, but its not.
The main attraction of the DSi XL is OBVIOUSLY the two HUGE screens. All the DS games look absolutely GORGEOUS on this thing. All the games look exactly the same as they do on the original DS except they're all enlarged to accommodate the bigger screens. Yes, the blocks/pixels (Whatever you wanna call it) do look a bit more noticeable, but then again it did as well on the original DS. You'll notice it at first, but after a few seconds of playing you'll find yourself completely immersed in your game to even notice something so minor.
I have the bronze version and the only thing that is bronze is the side accent chrome and the back. The cover is a matte finish and yes, it's a finger magnet, but it has a sheik Manhattan trendy look to it (Very Fashion Forward). However, the cover and the inside look more like a charcoal grey and black more then it does brown or bronze. Even with my lamp turned on right next to the XL, it looks like black. It's still a very portable gaming device on the go. Despite what reviewers are saying, it's still a pocket friendly device and its easy to just throw in a purse, bag, or backpack on your way to work. Its exquisite use for a train ride, a plane ride, a scroll around Central Park, or when traveling abroad and you need a good diversion to keep yourself entertained.
Just when everyone thought thin was in for technology, Nintendo does a complete u-turn and marches to the beat of their own drum.
Good quality sturdy build
Internet Browser

You're welcome. It was my pleasure. There was apparently one person who didnt find my review helpful. It says 20 out or 21 customers thought my review was helpful. I wonder what customers look for in a review?
Was there anything you thought i left out?

Great review! I just got my new Burgundy XL today and LOVE IT! The screens are so gorgeous that I wouldn't go back to my regular Dsi if someone paid me lol.

If is sounds tooo GOOD to be TRUE, it just is!! Listen to that little voice trying to tell you not to do it. Trust your instinct!
Why Canada or Jamacia?? They will tell you that the "private" investor is located there. Well the real reason is that the US authorities can't do anything about it. Sending money gram, western union or a cashier's check is untracable and that is why they want you to do it that way instead of a personal check made out to the "private" investor.
A REAL loan company has a lending license number and so ask them for their's if they have one. They will tell you that you need an attorney to be able to obtain it and they will have an excuse like "we use to give it out but people were using our licence number and so that is why we don't give it out anymore". That's a bunch of garbage. These people are low lives!!

Here is the info they provide on the Advanced Fee Loan Scam - Please note that the first article was published in May 2000!
Just When You Thought It Was Safe...Advance-Fee Loan "Sharks"
A different breed of "loan shark" is preying on unwary consumers by taking their money for the promise of a loan, credit card or other extension of credit.
Advertisements and promotions for advance-fee loans "guarantee" or suggest that there's a high likelihood of success that the loan will be awarded, regardless of the applicant's credit history. But, to take advantage of the offer, the consumer first has to pay a fee. And that's the catch: The consumer pays the fee, the scam artist takes off with the money, and the loan never materializes.
Legitimate guaranteed offers of credit do not require payments up front. Legitimate lenders may require consumers to pay application, appraisal or credit report fees, but these fees seldom are required before the lender is identified and the application completed. In addition, the fees generally are paid to the lender, not to the broker or arranger of the "guaranteed" loan.
Legitimate lenders may guarantee firm offers of credit to credit-worthy consumers, but they rarely do this before evaluating a consumer's creditworthiness.
Advertisements for advance-fee loans generally appear in the classified section of daily and weekly newspapers and magazines. Often, the ads feature "900" numbers, which result in charges on your phone bill. Advance-fee loans also are promoted through direct mail and radio and cable TV spots. The appearance of ads in media outlets that you recognize - like your local newspaper or radio station - is no guarantee of the legitimacy of the company behind the ad.
The Federal Trade Commission says you can avoid being bitten by advance-fee loan sharks: Here's how:
Don't pay for a promise. It's illegal for companies doing business by phone to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they deliver.
Ignore any ad - or hang up on any caller - that guarantees a loan in exchange for an advance fee. Legitimate lenders never "guarantee" or say that you will receive a loan before you apply, especially if you have bad credit or no credit record.
Never give your credit card or bank account numbers, or Social Security Number, over the telephone unless you are familiar with the company and know why the information is necessary.
The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint or to get free information on consumer issues , visit ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. The FTC enters consumer complaints into the Consumer Sentinel Network , a secure online database and investigative tool used by hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

Advance-Fee Loan Scams: Easy Cash Offers Teach Hard Lessons
Looking for a loan or credit card but dont think youll qualify? Turned down by a bank because of your poor credit history?
You may be tempted by ads and websites that guarantee loans or credit cards, regardless of your credit history. The catch comes when you apply for the loan or credit card and find out you have to pay a fee in advance. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nations consumer protection agency, that could be a tip-off to a rip-off. If youre asked to pay a fee for the promise of a loan or credit card, you can count on the fact that youre dealing with a scam artist. More than likely, youll get an application, or a stored value or debit card, instead of the loan or credit card.
The Signs of an Advance-Fee Loan Scam
The FTC says some red flags can tip you off to scam artists tricks. For example:
A lender who isnt interested in your credit history. A lender may offer loans or credit cards for many purposes for example, so a borrower can start a business or consolidate bill payments. But one who doesnt care about your credit record should give you cause for concern. Ads that say Bad credit? No problem or We dont care about your past. You deserve a loan or Get money fast or even No hassle guaranteed often indicate a scam.
Banks and other legitimate lenders generally evaluate creditworthiness and confirm the information in an application before they guarantee firm offers of credit even to creditworthy consumers.
Fees that are not disclosed clearly or prominently. Scam lenders may say youve been approved for a loan, then call or email demanding a fee before you can get the money. Any up-front fee that the lender wants to collect before granting the loan is a cue to walk away, especially if youre told its for insurance, processing, or just paperwork. Legitimate lenders often charge application, appraisal, or credit report fees. The differences? They disclose their fees clearly and prominently; they take their fees from the amount you borrow; and the fees usually are paid to the lender or broker after the loan is approved. Its also a warning sign if a lender says they wont check your credit history, yet asks for your personal information, such as your Social Security number or bank account number. They may use your information to debit your bank account to pay a fee theyre hiding.
A loan that is offered by phone. It is illegal for companies doing business in the U.S. by phone to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they deliver.
A lender who uses a copy-cat or wanna-be name. Crooks give their companies names that sound like well-known or respected organizations and create websites that look slick. Some scam artists have pretended to be the Better Business Bureau or another reputable organization, and some even produce forged paperwork or pay people to pretend to be references. Always get a companys phone number from the phone book or directory assistance, and call to check they are who they say they are. Get a physical address, too: a company that advertises a PO Box as its address is one to check out with the appropriate authorities.
A lender who is not registered in your state. Lenders and loan brokers are required to register in the states where they do business. To check registration, call your state Attorney Generals office or your states Department of Banking or Financial Regulation. Checking registration does not guarantee that you will be happy with a lender, but it helps weed out the crooks. A lender who asks you to wire money or pay an individual. Dont make a payment for a loan or credit card directly to an individual; legitimate lenders dont ask anyone to do that. In addition, dont use a wire transfer service or send money orders for a loan. You have little recourse if theres a problem with a wire transaction, and legitimate lenders dont pressure their customers to wire funds. Finally, just because youve received a slick promotion, seen an ad for a loan in a prominent place in your neighborhood or in your newspaper, on television or on the Internet, or heard one on the radio, dont assume its a good deal or even legitimate. Scam artists like to operate on the premise of legitimacy by association, so its really important to do your homework.
Finding Low-Cost Help for Credit Problems
If you have debt problems, try to solve them with your creditors as soon as you realize you wont be able to make your payments. If you cant resolve the problems yourself or need help to do it, you may want to contact a credit counseling service. Nonprofit organizations in every state counsel and educate people and families on debt problems, budgeting, and using credit wisely. Often, these services are low- or no-cost. Universities, military bases, credit unions, and housing authorities also may offer low- or no-cost credit counseling programs. To learn more about dealing with debt, including how to select a credit counseling service, visit ftc.gov/credit .
Where to Complain
If you think youve had an experience with an advance-fee loan scam, report it to the FTC.

Getting the Best Deal on a Used Car
(Page 2 of 2 of Buying a Used Car )
Need Professional Help? Talk to a Lawyer.
Getting a good deal means both a quality car and a good price. When negotiating price, aim to pay close to the wholesale value of the car. Of course, the seller will be pushing for the retail value. In most cases, you'll probably settle somewhere in between, depending on the condition of the car, your negotiating skills, and the seller's negotiating skills.
To make sure the car is reliable, take the following steps:
- Get an inspection. Have the car checked out by a mechanic you trust, or have the car inspected by a diagnostic center.
- Get copies of the maintenance records. A dealer usually won't have these, but a private owner may. Look for evidence of regular oil changes, scheduled services, and unusual repairs.
- Get the vehicle's history. From your state motor vehicle department, get the following information: how many prior owners there were, the mileage each time the car has been sold, and all other states where the car has been registered.Many cars now have this information listed on CarFax (at www.carfax.com). Plug in the VIN and you will get this information and in some cases even the maintenance history.
- Get copies of the title. You should get copies of the car title from each state's motor vehicle registry where the car has been registered. Or, for a small fee, you can use a computerized service that will do this for you. One to try: Carfax www.carfax.com or 800-346-3846). As a general rule, if the title search reveals that the car has ever been declared a salvage vehicle, don't buy it. (See "Look Out for Used Car Scams," below.)
- Give it a once-over. Do your own visual inspection and look for oddities that might indicate damage or repairs (such as scratches, rust, or new paint, which always fades faster than factory paint).
- Check the VIN plate. Check the vehicle identification number (VIN) on the lower left hand side of the front windshield. If it shows any signs of tampering, the car may be stolen.
- Review the "Buyer's Guide." Federal law requires dealers (but not most private sellers) to post a Buyer's Guide in every used car for sale. If the sale is negotiated in Spanish, the Buyer's Guide must also be provided in Spanish. The Buyer's Guide gives you a great deal of information including whether the car is being sold "as is" or comes with a warranty (for more on warranties, see Nolo's article Car Warranties: The Basics), what percentage of the repair costs a dealer will pay under the warranty, and what major mechanical and electrical systems are on the car.
- Stay calm. If you're thinking about buying from a dealer, know what you want before you walk into the dealership, resist the urge to buy more car than you can afford, and don't buy in a hurry. Check out the tips in "How to Negotiate With the Dealer" in Nolo's article Buying a New Car. Many of those tips also apply to the purchase of a used car from a dealer.
- Hold back a trade-in. Don't discuss the possibility of trading in your old car before you agree to a price for the car you want. (For more information on trading in your old car, see "Trading in Your Old Car" in Nolo's article Buying a New Car.)
- Be certain before you sign. Be absolutely sure you are getting the car you want at the price you want before you sign any papers. In most cases, if you change your mind later (even ten minutes later), the seller doesn't have to give you a refund.
Look Out for Used Car Scams
Unscrupulous used car dealers and sellers have come up with countless ways to rip you off. Some common scams to look out for include:
- Odometer rollbacks. The most common type of odometer fraud involves tampering with an odometer so that its reading is less than the car's actual mileage.
- Salvage fraud. A car is "salvaged" if an insurance company declares it a total loss because of a collision, flood, fire, or other serious physical accident. Many unscrupulous dealers buy these cars cheap at auction, patch them up, and sell them to unsuspecting customers. If the car's salvage history is disclosed and you are still interested, you should certainly have it professionally inspected.
- Repair fraud. Unscrupulous repair shops have been known to assemble the parts of several wrecked cars into one car. In one infamous California case, the driver's seatbelt anchors were attached to different halves of two wrecked cars that had been welded together. In another, there was no floor under the rear carpet. If anything about the car doesn't look right, have it checked out by an expert.
- Lemon laundering. This occurs when a manufacturer buys back a lemon from a consumer, then passes that car to another consumer without disclosing its lemon history. (For more on "lemons," see Nolo's article Lemon Law for Used Cars.)
- The seller doesn't own the car. If you're buying a car from a private party (as opposed to a car dealer), make sure the person selling the car actually holds title. Ask to see the seller's driver's license (or other photo ID) and the title certificate for the car. (But sometimes even honest people lose the title document and have to order another.)
- Financing scams. Many used car scams occur in the financing phase. Take all finance and loan documents home before you sign them. Read them there, without pushy salespeople breathing down your neck. Better yet, get someone else to look at them too.
To learn more about leasing and buying used and new cars, as well as other helpful information for other consumer transactions, get Nolos Encyclopedia of Everyday Law, by Shae Irving and the editors of Nolo.
