Hello - Wondering if anyone knows anything about this rifle or has any experience with it. I'm a newbie to AKs, looking for just one AK to own, so I can say I own one. This appealed to me because it's less recoil then the 7.62, supposedly slightly more accurate, and a good price. I called CAI and was told that the barrel and receiver are American-made, which for me sort of makes it not a real AK. But it might be better quality, who knows. It's model RI1620 on CAI's web site. Any thoughts or experience on this? Or is there another make, model, or brand of AK74 (that's affordable) that you'd recommend?http://www.jgsales.com/product_info.php/rifles/ak-47-and-rpk-rifles/p/akm74-m74-sporter-rifle%2C-5-45x39-caliber-w-side-rail-by-cai-/cPath/214/products_id/4498?SID

Robin just punched me in the face for absolutely nothing! He needs a girlfriend asap; he's way too fuckstrated.

Sexually frustrated due to being extremely horny or from a lack of sex. A dry spell from a lack of quality sex that results in total frustration; a short fuse from a lack of sex.
This has been an extremely fuckstrating month.

To be completely frustrated and out of control of a situation.
Having your car break down in the middle of nowhere with no bars on your cellphone, no ciggarettes, no weed, at 2:00 in the morning will leave you completely fuckstrated with the situation.

Rises in import prices by locality of origin in January
February 17, 2000
The price index for imports from Japan rose for the sixth consecutive month, up 0.4 percent in January after gaining the same amount in December. Over the past 12 months, the index increased 1.8 percent.
[Chart data—TXT]
Prices of imports from Canada continued to increase, up 0.2 percent in January and 7.1 percent over the January 1999-2000 period. Led primarily by ongoing price increases for petroleum products, the import price index for Latin America also rose in January, up 0.8 percent. Over the past 12 months, the index gained 17.8 percent.
In addition, prices of imports from the European Union edged up 0.1 percent in January, after recording no change, on average, in December. Prices of manufactured goods have declined 0.5 percent over the past two months due to the rising value of the U.S. dollar against the European currencies; however, overall prices of European imports have remained largely unchanged because of a 12.9 percent increase for the price index of nonmanufactured goods over the same time period.
The index for imports from the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries dipped 0.1 percent last month, after posting no change in December and a 0.4 percent decline in November. For the year ended in January, the index fell 0.8 percent.
These data are a product of the BLS International Price program. Find out more in "U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes - January 2000," news release USDL 00-45. The Asian Newly Industrialized Countries include Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. Latin America includes Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Note: import price data are subject to revision in each of the three months after original publication.

http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/technology/262315-internet-providers-set-to-crack-down-on-illegal-file-sharing

ĀEssentially, intellectual property holders will flag an IP address for peer-to-peer sharing and let the ISP know. The ISP will then send alerts to suspected users letting them know they have been flagged. They might also put them in a "walled-garden" where they will force fed "educational material" that they must read before leaving. Two questions for anyone who might know.

1. What is the nature of the alerts? HTTP redirects, DNS redirects, Java script inserted into legitimate pages? I couldn't seem to find anything on this.

2. Why would ISPs voluntarily participate in a program like this? I have a few guesses such as it will save them from future litigation or the content owners are paying them directly. But, does anyone have evidence on why they are doing this?Ā

I have heard this referred to as "SOPA-lite".

Thanks,

Chris

Hi there,
I can't answer the questions about the gradient fills, but I can offer
some help on transparent windows - depending upon what it is you are
trying to achieve.
First of all, you will need to be running a composite window manager -
such as beryl.... These window managers allow access to and obey the
alpha byte if you create you windows as ARGB 32-bit. You can then
directly manipulate the alpha channel (Using XGetImage/XPutImage to
access the data --- or shared memory extensions).
If you are wanting to set the transparency of your entire window, you
simply need to set a window property that the composite window manager
will honor --- its a really simply 2 line process. I'm not at work
right now so I can't remember what the property is called. When I get
to work tomorrow, I will post some code to do this ( and also a
function to tell you if you are even running a composite window
Hope this helps some --- I will try and be more helpful tomorrow :-)

Aldous Huxley
Novelist and essayist, born in Godalming, Surrey, the grandson of T.H. Huxley. He studied at Oxford, lived mainly in Italy in the 1920's, (where he met and befriended D.H. Lawrence) and moved to California in 1937. His early writing included poetry, short stories, and literary journalism, but his reputation was made with his satirical novels Crome Yellow (1921) and Antic Hay (1923). Later novels include Point Counter Point and, his best-known work, Brave New World (1932), where he warns of the dangers of dehumanization in a scientific age. His later writing became more mystical in character, as in Eyeless in Gaza (1936) and Time Must Have a Stop (1944), while Island (1962) is an optimistic Utopia.
The Perennial Philosophy (1945) is a comparative study of mysticism. (
Huxley died the same day as
, but neither event got a lot of press at the time as it was also the day JFK was assassinated.
By the way - somebody labeled this page as "off topic." Obviously someone who has either not read Brave New World or is not a technologist. Avoiding the
syndrome is partly the responsibility of those of us who develop the technology.

There will be 25 players on the roster for the Detroit Tigers in the playoffs. Any one of them could be a difference-maker for the team in the playoffs.
But let's ignore the Big Three (Miguel Cabrera, Justin Verlander, Prince Fielder) as well as some of the players who aren't likely to play much (Gerald Laird, Avisail Garcia) and try to identify five players who could play key roles in the playoffs for the Tigers.
Delmon Young: Young's numbers came around a bit in the second half of the season, but his batting average and OPS remained below his career averages. The Tigers have struggled a bit when it comes to the bottom half of the batting order. A couple clutch hits for Young with multiple runners on base could tilt a series in the Tigers' favor.
Al Alburquerque: The Tigers boast a strong starting pitching staff that has been pitching deep into games. But playoff teams tend to feature lineups with more hitters who can work pitchers well than, say, a struggling American League Central Division team. Alburquerque is an important weapon for the Tigers to bridge the gap between the starters and the back end of the bullpen. Of course, the other relievers have to hold up their end of the bargain as well, but Alburquerque could play a key role.

The tiger is the largest of the 38 cat species in the world and, unfortunately, has recently become the most endangered of all large wild cats. Of all cat species, it is the third most endangered, behind the Iberian lynx and Andean cat. In this, the Chinese Year of the Tiger, we hope these big cats regain some ground in their race for survival. All tigers face two major threats: habitat destruction and poaching.

consider this: if a (q)appears as a (p) and a (d) appears as a (b) qp db / bd pq when looked upon in a mirror. then the visual condition is neither Dyslexia nor Dysgraphia but rather the term strephosymbolia(Twisted Symbols) should be made use of . the term was coined by Dr. S.D. Orton to explain why people view text as if in a mirror & why they write in mirrored text (Backwards)from right to left , they must write in this text format in order to precieve text as if in standard format from left to right. No known medical cure to date, the gene DCDC2 linked to C6 & C15 cause strephosymbolia. paschar

This article is the problem with dyslexia. We are not ill or in need of treatment We have #D vision and can see so much more than most people. Learning to discipline that power is a rather different story, and being forced to interact with the 2D world, i.e. reading, takes special skills. But, we are great readers, often lovers of books, yet even better writers- precisely because we engage with language using all our senses. We read, but also 'see' the words, imagine the situation and from there our creativity really takes off. We read better out loud or when hearing someone read, and even envision the words on the page when we hear, while at the same time imagining the scene described and the possibilities in that space. Maps are also 2D representations that pose us problem, but once we have a visual image to anchor the 2D map, we can 'read' it better than any one AND retain the images in our memories, returning to places we've visited just once, etc. We know space, and are often in creative fields, but especially where we move through space and time, using the maxim number of our senses, which takes advantage of the 3D vision.

Generally, it's a not-bad product. It cleanses well, but not deeply enough for my tastes. Takes off make-up well, but not so well that I resorted in using a muslin cloth in order to help the product clean my skin better. The smell is quite strong, but not unpleasant, instead leaving one with a sense of cleanliness and freshness. Thankfully it didn't dry out my skin, which a lot of cleansers do.
I am a big fan of Aesop products, but I have to say that this isn't one of my favourites. I would recommend it to someone with a normal skin type.

I bought this product in the tube, not a jar like in the product photo, so I was very happy with the packaging.
Very effective at removing makeup, leaves skin feeling really clean but not stripped, Works really well with a facial brush.
I would buy this again, but it's a tough one as I also received a sample of the Fabulous Face cleanser and loved that one too!

i found that this product really worked for me and ive been using it for a year or so now.
Before this i used a cleanser with Benzol peroxide, which broke me out sooo bad, so my mum gave me this. I thought that it might break me out even more, but i tried it anyway and within a week or so i cleared up.
Even though i still do get the occasional pimple, its the best cleanser ive used. And may i add ive tried alot of cleansers before i found this one.

I bought this instead of my usual Amazing Face Cleanser, just for something different. I'll finish it off, but I will not re-purchase. It works okay as a cleanser, but I prefer the gel formula of AFC and find that it goes a longer way and cleanses the face more effectively. I have to use a great deal of PFCC to get any decent coverage. I also dislike the fact that I must poke my fingers into the jar to get the product out. Most of all, I despise the fragrance. To me, it smells like grappa - that strong, vile-smelling (and tasting!) home-made plum liquor. It's not something I want to me reeking of!

First of all, I really dislike the scent of this. It is very 'herby' (sorry - terrible at identifying scents). But as far as cleansers go this one is really very good!
My current foundation is heavy (EL - double wear) and fairly difficult to remove. This took it off easily.
I apply to a damp face and massage it in for 10 - 15 seconds. In order to test it I removed it with only water rather than my usual body shop face cloth, then tested for traces of make up with my toner - nothing! Believe me - that's a huge rarity!
It makes my skin soft like nothing else and even though I hate the whole "use with the Aesop hydrating cream of your choice" gimmick I have to say it works beautifully with the primrose facial hydrating cream!

I found this to be ineffective at removing anything. I was consistently left not feeling clean. I was lured by the organic-based idea and thought I would be a convert. It smells horrible and is particularly inconvenient and unheigenic with its glass jar packaging that makes it impossible to use in the shower.

This is a thick cream cleanser in a heavy screw top jar. Although the instructions advise you to apply to damp skin, I find it removes makeup better when used dry. I massage in thoroughly and remove with warm water and a muslin washcloth. It leaves my sensitive combination skin completely clean and unirritated, with no greasy residue or tight feeling. I have some really tenacious long-lasting foundations which resist most cleansers, but this one gets off everything. The waxy smell is rather offputting (similar to Terax Crema), and I had rather they'd added more herbal ingredients to mask it. I find I need a good teaspoon or so to cleanse properly, which means I get through a jar remarkably quickly. Despite its effectiveness, I doubt I'll repurchase this again, simply because of the price.

This was my favourite cleanser for years but the effect gradually wore off. At first it left me with lovely soft, fresh feeling skin and didn't trigger any sensitivities. However after a while I found that it wasn't cleansing enough so I moved on to bigger an better things (Dermalogica). The price kept increasing too whilst the package kept getting smaller. Too much for a cleanser that was just 'ok'.

in like this cleanser very much. remove make-up and eye-make-up. that's great. it's a cream cleanser but my skin very clean but hydrated. nice. my skin feel soft, cleansed and good. it good when you use a moisturizer because you must use it when you have very dry skin. the cleanser is for all skin typen, i think. aesop says for very dry ans sensitive skin but i think when you have comco skin the cleanser is great as well. i have combo skin and it was never greasy to me. after washing the face, ther face is really matte. that was a nice effect. i tried some gel cleanser and after washing my face with this my skin looks "shiny" and looks oily(but it wasnt oily). the cleanser is very good i i never found something bad. i recommend this to everyone.

I am less interested in porn than the regulation of political speech.
You should have a blank TV that says add pulled due to it being 60 days before an election (McCain-Feingold Bill).
I wasn't aware that Playboy was under government assault.:rolleyes:
April 28, 2006, 08:45 AM
I agree that the McCain-Feingold Bill is a serious threat to the 1st amendment. .
Playboy isnt under government assault, nor is it under assault by MSM. It is protected by the 1st amendment. However, the second amendment itself is being attacked by both MSM and several big city governments.
April 28, 2006, 08:58 AM
I like it.
It's a two edge sword, that cuts both ways.
"Porn" is periodically under attack from the dark authoritarians of right. Guns are consistently under attack from the dark collectivists of the left.
Another variant might be the legal trade of sex toys in the state of Alabama, a law both enacted and upheld. (I'll have to see if I can dig out the Alabama supreme court majority opinion. It was amusingly preposterous, holding that sex toys were a threat to public morals and decency.)
Here's more on that:
Alabama argued its sex-toy ban " ... and related orgasm stimulating paraphernalia is rationally related to a legitimate legislative interest in discouraging prurient interests in autonomous sex." And that "it is enough for a legislature to reasonably believe that commerce in the pursuit of orgasms by artificial means for their own sake is detrimental to the health and morality of the State."
The court agreed.
My reactions:
April 28, 2006, 09:00 AM
I don't think you want to associate the two if you're trying to reach the American public in general instead of the more narrow adolescent to 30-something males.

I don't think you want to associate the two if you're trying to reach the American public in general instead of the more narrow adolescent to 30-something males.
Agreed. Maybe (suppressing a shudder) you could use a magazine cover with someone like Cindy Sheehan, Pat Robertson, or others who express unpopular views, yet are protected by the 1st...

For starters, this is art work, and the only person to whom it must appeal is the artist.
But you asked for opinions. So: I'd rather see a representation of the news media, with their so-called right to intrude on families who have just suffered a grave personal tragedy and ask, on national television, questions that my grandmother would have said are nobody's business, and their leaping to the defense of their salacious presentations ("if it bleeds, it leads!" The only thing better than a hurt puppy is a bleeding kid!) and standing on a vigorously defended 1st amendment right. But they ignore relatively boring items, like congressional hearings on laws that will affect us all.
These same news "media people" hit on firearms whenever they can, as inherently dangerous and something that should be left to the "experts," i.e. the military and police. They often make it clear with their biased and uninformed statements that they know little about the subject, and didn't bother to check the accuracy of what they say.
Now, THAT'S hypocrisy!! (Do you get the general idea that I have a quite low opinion of TV news? The print people aren't much better, as a rule.)

A devastating one-two punch could leave this year's presidential primaries wounded.
Until the 1960s, a party's nomination wasn't determined until its convention. In the '70s, California and New York, the two heavyweights in terms of electoral votes, didn't wade into the fray until June.
But now in the age of instant technology, states have hurriedly moved up their primaries or caucuses.
The Iowa caucus is scheduled for Jan. 24, and the New Hampshire primary is Feb. 1. California and New York join 13 other states to hold their primary or caucus March 7. A week later, Texas, Florida and four others have their primaries.
By the end of March, all but 17 states will have chosen their nominations.
It sure doesn't give average citizens much time to decide which candidates best deal with health care or answer all their questions about education.
Punch two: Voter apathy.
Despite the increased number of debates, a new survey suggests voters aren't noticing.
According to the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press Politics and Public Policy, one in 10 people said he or she had thought about the presidential campaign or talked about it with anyone on the previous day. And 74 percent of the public said it hadn't picked a candidate yet.
Well, with today's hectic political schedule, they might not have the time to mull over the choices.

Sadly, some countries are 'particular' about who they let in. I've been through U.S. customs several times and it can be an exercise too. Many of the shots you mentioned last a long time (10 yrs.) You should consider Hep A & B which is sold under the name 'Twinrix'. http://www.twinrix.ca/en/ When you arrive at their airport, start making pro-feminist remarks. ;0 Enjoy the experience and savor all the sights, scents and aromas.

ah the joys of traveling ...I remember back in the old days that when one traveled to Mexico you had to pay $10 in cash to be able to leave.....really! There were times when I wanted to ask- and how much will you pay me to stay? Naturally I didn't as I wasn't sure of the officials sense of humor.... bon voyage!

Oh that is funny. They have you flagged now and will probably follow you around while you are there watching your every move. You probably have someone monitoring your blog post now. All for checking a little box. The first time I flew I found that my name was on the No Fly List, I was pulled aside and taken to another person where they had to check my status and to see that I was not the person on the list. I haven't had a problem since, thank goodness. Hope it all works out for you and look forward to seeing your post from India!

That's too bad. Who would of thought that the word writer would be in issue???? I am in the mood to take a trip but the only place I might go is Nova Scotia. My husband is up there on business for two weeks. I doubt that anything I would say would get me barred from NS this time of year. Hope you get it all worked out and your Visa arrives.
By: Cheryl P. on January 23, 2013
This could only happen to you, Steve! I know what you are saying about checking boxes! Sometimes the answers given don't really match with what you want to say. When and IF you get your visa,have a good time in India. That is one place I really don't want to go!

Intel grossly overprices its 12-core part; a 12-core Xeon is $2500, about double the price of an equivalent 10-core Xeon or quadruple the price of a 6-core Xeon. This means you can get two 6-core Xeons for about half the price of one 12-core Xeon and simultaneously have the ability to use twice the memory.

Did You Delay Solids?Naomi Odes
I have zero food allergies, and had none growing up, either. However, T has an anaphylactic allergy to shellfish, which he didn't develop until puberty. So, I've always been concerned about this whole allergy thing. I started Shnook on solids when he was 7 /1/2 months, mostly because we were going on a trip to Mexico before that and I didn't want to have to deal with having to feed him there, especially something that might give him parasites.
It all worked out, and thus far, Shnook has no food allergies. I haven't given him any shellfish yet. But, he's had plenty of other fish, nuts, etc.
Fuzz is 5 months old. Recent research has suggested that introducing solids between 4 and 6 months may reduce chances of allergies. When Shnook was a baby, the research was the opposite. Introducing solids prior to 6 months meant more risk for developing allergies. I'm really not feeling ready to introduce solids anytime before the next four weeks, if not for longer. He's not quite sitting up by himself yet, and I've read that is a factor when they are ready as well. Not to mention that it's so much easier just to keep him on breastmilk, especially since he's growing spectacularly.
He does grab for things going in my mouth, but he also grabs everything else in my hands and shoves that stuff in his mouth as well. He even ripped a piece of a cardboard box I was holding the other day. I'm not convinced this is a sign of being ready for solids, but more a sign of teething, and having more control over his limbs.
Should I be worried that delaying starting solids might give him allergies? When did you start solids?

Madison, WI (February 6, 2013) – Three Wisconsin public school teachers filed a brief in the Wisconsin Court of Appeals last week supporting Governor Walker's public sector union reform bill, known as "Act 10."
Elmbrook School District educator Elijah Grajkowski, Kenosha teacher Kristi Lacroix, and Waukesha high school teacher Nathan Berish filed the amici curiae brief with free legal assistance from the National Right to Work Foundation and the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty.
The case is a legal challenge brought in Dane County Circuit Court by union officials from Public Employees Local 61 and Madison Teachers, Inc., a local affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA).
In their brief, the teachers argue that the Wisconsin Court of Appeals should overturn the lower court's ruling that held that Act 10 is unconstitutional. The teachers' arguments in the brief rely on precedents long established by National Right to Work Foundation-won cases at the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as recent Foundation-supported victories at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, which upheld all of Act 10, and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, which upheld Indiana's recently-enacted Right to Work law.
Meanwhile, two other Wisconsin public servants – Christopher King and Carie Kendrick – have also filed an amicus brief opposing a union legal challenge to Act 10 in another federal court.
"Once again, courageous Wisconsin public servants who want nothing to do with union bosses' so-called 'representation' have stepped forward to protect these vital reforms," said Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Foundation. "No worker should be forced to pay union dues just to get or keep a job, which is why Wisconsin should pass a private-sector Right to Work law, ensuring that all Badger State employees are free of forced unionism."

Convert a Spinner 360 Photo to a 3D Google Photo Sphere2013-11-15 2 5 Share Tweet
The Spinner 360 camera takes wonderful panoramic shots. This tutorial goes over how to take a photo using this camera and change it into a 3D Google Photo Sphere image.
See my sample here.
Steps in creating a Photo Sphere with a Spinner 360 Photo
1. Find a Spinner 360 photo that you've taken. It would be best to use photos that have a 360 degree (or more) view of a scene.
2. In the image editor of your choice, crop the photo so that you have 360 degrees. Try to use a reference point in the photo that repeats and crop appropriately. Save the image as JPEG or jpg. The best dimensions would be about 2,000-3,000 pixels wide.
3. Next go to the Google site Photo Sphere and click the "Browse" button to upload the photo you just cropped and saved.
4. Once uploaded, you should see a thumbnail of your photo. The dimension values auto-populate, so unless you want to tweak the image, leave those as defaults.
5. If you want the location to be added to the metadata of the photo, paste the address into the 'Set location' box and click the 'Search' button. Google should find the location.
6. Click the 'Next Step' button.
7. The preview may not show, but that's OK. Your picture has been generated. Click the Download button.
8. Finally, log into your account on Google Plus. Visit your profile and navigate to 'Photos.' Either create a new album or open an existing album and upload your photo. The metadata that the Photo Sphere App created will be used by Google Plus which will automatically turn it into a 3D panorama Photo Sphere.

Occasionally, consumers may find themselves struggling to find enough money in their budget for a new shoulder bag. To make their dollars stretch further, buyers need to identify the purpose of the shoulder bag, including how and where they plan to use it. They also need to ensure that they receive the maximum possible use from the bag, which means that they need a shoulder bag that is stylish year round. The style of the straps is also important. To save even more money, shoppers can look for used bags that are in good condition. Shoulder bags are widely available in local accessories shops as well as on eBay.
Identify the Purpose of the Shoulder Bag
First of all, buyers need to think about how they plan to use their new shoulder bag. How often and how long they plan to carry it may affect the size and style of bag that they choose.
Some women who travel for business may like a large shoulder bag that doubles as both an overnight bag and carry-on. Photographers or reporters who spend much of their time on the go may need a shoulder bag that works not only as a handbag , but also as a camera bag.
Other women may spend their days running errands, dropping off and picking up children, and facilitating various family activities. They need a spacious shoulder bag with plenty of room for snacks, tissues, lipstick, water bottles, and many other miscellaneous necessities. They may even need room for nappies, wipes, and a toy or two.
In other cases, the shoulder bag may carry a student's books, makeup, wallet, and other personal items. Messenger bags or laptop bags that carry heavy items, such as books or laptops, need to be extra sturdy to support the weight. Whether a buyer needs the shoulder bag for school, work, family life, or some other purpose, they must think carefully about their daily activities and habits so that they can identify the right bag for them.
Choose a Multi-Season Shoulder Bag
When affordability is an issue, buyers should try to find a multi-season bag. This type of shoulder bag can take them through spring and summer and into the autumn and winter months, remaining stylish and functional the entire time. If they focus on one bag that works for all seasons, buyers may be better able to stay within their budget.
A shoulder bag for multiple seasons needs to be a neutral colour. Black is a classic hue and a common choice for women who need an affordable shoulder bag. Black goes with nearly everything, and it never goes out of season. However, women who prefer lighter colours need not choose black simply because they want a year-round bag. Instead, they can select a shade of brown , tan, grey, or taupe. Some other hues, such as vivid red, also work for many seasons. However, a red or blue bag may not work with as many outfits as a black or brown bag.
Select a Comfortable Strap Style
By definition, should bags include a shoulder strap. Shoulder bag straps come in varying lengths, widths, and thicknesses, all of which are key factors when it comes to user comfort. A small, lightweight shoulder bag may work well with a thin strap, while medium-sized shoulder bags typically require a slightly larger strap.
If owners plan to carry heavy items, such as a laptop, tablet, camera, or books in their new shoulder bag, they should make sure to select a bag with a broad strap. The wider strap spreads out the weight across the shoulder, making the bag easier to carry. Even with the extra width, however, the heavy shoulder bag may become painful to support. If buyers anticipate having to carry the bag for long stretches of time, they need to invest in a bag with a padded strap. The padding should prevent pain as well as the formation of blisters and sore spots. While buyers may have to spend a little extra to ensure that they have a comfortable shoulder bag, they should find that they save money over time.
Look for Used Shoulder Bags
One important way to save money is to look for used shoulder bags . These pre-owned bags are marked down far lower than the original retail price, and many have years of wear left. When shopping for a used shoulder bag, buyers should take the time to check the entire bag. All of the fasteners, such as clasps, zippers, snaps, and buckles, should be in excellent working order. The exterior of the bag should bear no significant wear or damage, such as abrasions, stains, or tears. Inside, the bag must be clean with the lining and all pockets and compartments intact. For online shoppers, digital photos of the bag and its parts may be sufficient. However, if possible, they should inspect the shoulder bag in person. An in-person review of the product allows buyers to sniff the bag's interior to make sure it does not smell mouldy, and it also permits them to handle the bag and sense the quality of the materials.
How to Buy an Affordable Shoulder Bag on eBay
In the search for affordable bags, many buyers turn to online sources, such as eBay. As you shop on eBay, remember to check out other sections of the website, including eBay Deals. Saving an eBay search allows eBay to notify you of any new listings for shoulder bags. Once you receive such a notification, you can go online to view the product details and pricing. Some product listings include a Top-Rated Plus seller seal. Such a seal represents the seller's long history of positive feedback from other eBay buyers. You may want to give these highly-rated sellers priority as you shop, since they are likely to supply you with an excellent product.

HTC filed again – Apple patent claims go past five
In hindsight, one can clearly comment that Apple has started feeling the heat, meaning the temperature is rising with every sunrise. It seems the legal clouds have completely taken over the battleground and are all set to come up with some water. In a series of claims, Apple has filed HTC again over patent rights, this time during the business hours earlier today. With this, the contention between the two has further aggravated, depicting some real competition in the coming times.
Google Pull out in China makes way for MS
Not many in the tech biz are surprised as the 'much awaited' finally happened when Microsoft broke in with the chance by filling in the empty gap, which apparently a year and a half ago, was left abandoned by Google. The latter withdrew its services in China after screaming concerns about censorship in several of its regions. Microsoft has pitched in with the opportunity of uniting with Baidu.com to offer web search services in English, deploying its search engine 'Bing'.
Facebook Outdoes Microsoft in Britain : reveals UKOM/Neilson
In Britain, until now it was Microsoft that was leading the way with only Google to catch up in terms of 'Website visits', however now its Facebook, though for the first time, that has replaced the second spot in the list beating all the Microsoft sites combined. The report was made public by UKOM/Neilson recently which is among the prominent online gauging entities in the world. With this, Facebook has been tagged as the second most popular site in Britain, a fact that looks like a trend and aiming to last long.
Sega robbed off – 1.29 million customer data stolen
The toast time for the hackers' community appears to continue till wee hours and rightly so, they have a reason to celebrate which adds another feather to their caps and this time around, it's the Japanese Gaming giant, Sega, that has lost the plot. The personal information of over 1.29 million Sega users was hacked off by some smart computer experts over the weekend. This apparently has been one of the biggest security blows in the recent times.
Facebook plans to incorporate Twitter like feature – In testing now
If at all there were good reasons for some to visit Twitter every morning and evening, they would now be persuaded by their old daddy to stay on and not leave for the fact that they enjoy this special feature which lets people share what they are thinking, doing, or seeing and that too instantly, in messages of 140 or fewer characters.
After Sitemaps, its Schema – Google, MS, Yahoo gather again
Almost after 5 years, the top of the ladder players in the global web arena, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have again pitched in close, this time to launch Schema.org that aims at improving web search efficacy levels. Earlier in 2006, it was Sitemaps.org that helped in standardizing sitemap protocols. The move was widely acknowledged across all spheres as the event looks to be one out of many, solely based on harmony in contrast to much heated technology battle. The three entities in Yahoo, Microsoft (Bing) and Google have launched a site called Schema.org that constitutes of a common set of HTML tags which webmasters would use to mark up structured data on their sites. Schema.org has around 100 different HTML tags for structured data categories such as events, places, people, organizations, products, music, movies and TV shows. "We are announcing schema.org, a new initiative from Google, Bing and Yahoo to create and support a common vocabulary for structured data markup on web pages," Google said. Via the new site, the owners and developers would be able to gather info about structured data and improve how their sites show up in major search engines output. The objective is to be a 'one place for all' for webmasters looking to append markup to their pages. Most of the sites are produced from structured data that is often stored in databases. While this data is formatted into HTML it becomes stiffer to recover the original structured data. Be this occurrence a one time effort after a long lull, the happening would surely bring about long term benefits for one and all, hooking to the internet, starving for that much needed information.
Nokia to do away with 'Ovi' services brand
In the best favor of the company, the new management at Nokia feels that the Ovi services brand should now be done away with. The world's largest cellphone maker in terms of volume, Nokia had launched its Ovi services brand back in 2007, that aimed at offering maps and music services to its customers. Back then, the entity was strongest in the domain holding around 40% of the market ground in terms of cellphone handset sales.
Dent to RIM plans – Recalls 1000 PlayBook units with faulty OS
Despite being the very first in the race for planning the launch of the world's first Tablet PC, the Canadian giant, Research in Motion (RIM) has not been able to reap the full out of the hanging opportunity. The failure on the part of the entity has been termed as 'Opportunity lost' by the tech experts. Only others in the domain apart from RIM have gained, they further opine.
Skype deal done smartly – Microsoft saved on the consultancy fee
Skype deal can easily be termed as one of the most prominent pacts in the recent times, especially looking at all the acquisitions done in the tech domain lately. Inside sources say that the transaction has been done very smartly, specifically as the top officials have been drawing the outline of the agreement well before it was executed. Microsoft reportedly has saved close to 25 to 30 million dollars by not deploying any advisor to the deal.
It's Google after Amazon – To launch Online Music Service
Succeeding Amazon's footprints, which in April this year launched an online music service, Google, in all certainty, would be coming up with a similar music service on the web very soon. The initiative would bring in with better choices for the internet users while they intend to utilize their free time listening to some vocals and instrumentals. The information was unveiled by the Wall Street journal which had some prior knowledge about the project plan.

Speaking of the Holidays, I was wondering whether anybody would be interested in a list of funny promos or gimmick matches that take place at this time of the year. I've got a better idea, let's leave the squared circle for a moment and enjoy appearances made by wrestlers in different TV shows. If this is your first time reading the PW2C column, I encourage you to take a look at this pro wrestling glossary in order to get more familiar with some terms.
The Show: Dexter's Laboratory
If you are a 90s kid just like myself, chances are you watched a lot of Cartoon Network programs during your childhood. Dexter's Laboratory is one of their original shows and features a genius young boy with a unique Russian-like accent going by the name of Dexter. He has a secret laboratory with an infinite amount of space and inventions, much to the delight of his biggest threat; his own sister Dee Dee. Episodes of the show were generally 25 minutes long divided into three 7-minute short episodes. These episodes sometimes shifted interests toward secondary stories that turned into regular segments such as Dial M for Monkey, where Dexter's lab pet Monkey secretly transforms into a superhero and fights all sorts of crime.
The Episode: Rasslor (Watch here, starting at the 7:15 mark)
This is where our legendary Macho Man comes in. The episode is part of the Dial M for Monkey segment where Randy Savage does the voice acting for the Evil character of the day; Rasslor. Managed by Promotor, an alien fly whose hair parodies -or pays tribute to- the famous boxing promoter Don King, Rasslor comes to planet Earth to challenge its best fighters into a wrestling match and threatens to destroy the planet if no contender beats him.
Enough spoilers already. All in all, the episode has been put pretty well. The wrestling part has been portrayed quite nicely with several real moves and submissions, especially considering how many flops the wrestling world has been subject to in mainstream media. This episode can be enjoyed by any age group, whether you are a nostalgic gimmick-wrestling fan of the 80s and early 90s, or just a young kid who loves cartoons. "OOH YEAH!"

100% Price Guarantee
Getting the Lowest Price is Guaranteed at Hardware2u!
We know your busy and you have better things to do than to visit every store or internet site in Australia when your getting your home Improvement products. That's why...
Hardware2u provides you with the Lowest Prices with 100% Price Protection.
As the largest online seller of Garden Sheds, BBQ's, Clotheslines, Shade Sails and many other home improvement products we are able to negotiate the best possible price from all our suppliers and we love to pass these discounts on to you. And we absolutely refuse to be undersold. If you find an item elsewhere (before or within 30 days of your purchase from Hardware2u) for a lower price, you will be eligible for our "100% price protection" program.
Here's How it Works...
The item must be the identical product, color, packaging, manufacturer, etc. The price you wish us to match must be verifiable on the Internet or through a printed advertisement or written quote. The competitor's advertisement must be current and the product must be in stock.
Hardware2u will only match prices on items made by the same manufacturer. "Knock-off" or inferior items from other manufacturers do not count. For example, if it is an Absco Garden Shed, it must be authentic, not just "similar" style or size. If you ask us to match a price, the competitor's delivery charges, if applicable, must be taken into account when we calculate the competitor's price.
Hardware2us Price (+ Delivery): $1000.00
Competitor price (+ Delivery): $800.00
Difference: $200.00
Total Refund: $200.00
Price adjustments are limited to one price match per item within the 30 day period. Competitors coupons or promotions for first time or one time use will be considered non-verifiable and therefore not accepted for the low price guarantee. Competitors items must be in stock.
NOTE: Please allow 7-10 business days following your price match request for your refund to be processed. Price matches will not be honored on "Going out of business," "Liquidation Sales" or companies in distress.
Hardware2u reserves the right to deny any price match on an item that is not in stock with a competitor or does not meet the criteria of our price match policy
