excellent children love it best thing since sliced bread
I am really happy I purchased this item. Great price, fast delivery and lots of fun.
Excellent product, it was for the children, but i might get one for myself
Well packaged and looks great. 5 stars so far but hasn't been used yet as it is an Xmas gift for the kids! Looks study though so pleased so far.
Very disappointing - grabber is weak so despite our best efforts at trying a range of sweets (different weights & sizes) this priced a frustrating purchase. Decided not to give it to our 9 year old as a Xmas present as her frustration would probably ruin her Xmas!
Very pleased with this. Great price. The quality is good and love the look. I bought it for the kids in my family for Halloween. They nearly burst with excitement when they saw it! Luckily I had tested it out beforehand. At first I wasn't sure of the quality.. The music is way too loud, the claw is quite light and spins round, seemed a bit flimsy and I couldn't pick up anything! BUT actually the claw works just fine. It's good it spins a bit so it can get stuff from different angles. It would be too easy if it was heavy. TIPS: - Put a couple of tea towels underneath it and the music is much quieter. - Only put a few things in at a time, so the claw has space to get underneath and properly grab it then it works great! - You don't need to put the coins in, you can just 'trigger' it and pull the coin out again (saves having to turn it upside down to get the coins out). - Helps to unscrew the lid so you can get your hand in to move stuff around if needs be. - Can be a great 'reward' incentive. I soon got the hang of it and so did the kids (ages 5-8). When they got all the candy they went round the house finding anything small enough to put in it to win! One child with attention of a gnat spent 45 mins playing with it very happily! She asks to play it everyday. We will use this for Xmas and birthdays too. Great investment. Everyone who comes in has a go! Good fun for all :)
This is sure to make a great gift I hope bought a tub of sweets to fill it and battery's and looking forward to giving this
I ordered candy grabber as a new year gift for my friend. It is a super fun and cute product which can be really enjoyable for young adults and kids. Its music is a little disturbing but overall its worth having it. The only negative thing is that the product did not arrived at the expected date (December 26). I ordered the product in the beginning of December and it arrived January 5th. Therefore I had to give the gift later. Nonetheless I highly recommend this product. I am even considering to buy one more to myself.
Arrived on time, the most difficult part was getting the plastic off of the grabber. I agree with the other reviews about the music, does drive you mad after a while (shame there isn't an off switch). On a positive note, it's fun, every age group will want a go, & good value for money. Would recommend.
Excellent toy. Realistic. Pity there not volume button for music
Yes, it is only meant to be a bit of fun but you can't even have that with this thing. Functionality is non existent and it's pretty poor quality. If I were you, I wouldn't bother and pick something else.
Amazing quality, quick delivery. Fab value for money. Recommend
Machine is great but the music is quite annoying after a while! Delivery was very quick.
I purchased three of these, one for my grand nephews, one for my grand daughter and one for me! Two were given on Christmas Day. One was a huge success, toy of the day and my grand nephews love it. The one I gave my granddaughter was faulty burt I was able to give her the one I'd kept for myself. I returned the faulty item, post free, to IWOOT and although I had purchased it monyhs before, in anticipation of Christmas, they promptly replaced it for me. So we are all three satisfied and having fun with our candy grabbers! Excellent toy, impeccable service.
I bought this candy grabber as a last minute gift for my 27 year old boyfriend. On Christmas day, all other presents were left aside as his entire family (including his father and his 2 year old niece) tried their hand at this toy. We used gummy sweets which ended up being very challenging to grab, Skittles or jelly beans would be a lot easier. Great unique gift that is perfect for anyone who is young at heart. The fairground music does become slightly irritating after a while though!
Bought this for my husband, it's great fun & very addictive, even our 2 yr old daughter loves playing it. Definitely recommend it.
My son loved this for his birthday! He had hours and hours of fun, he and his friends. This toy was BINGO!
Bought as a present. Was almost perfect, would have been nice to be able to use real money, sort of piggy bank. Crane is a little flimsy and would recommend a very thin layer of sweets to enable it to work really well. Loved the flashing lights and the music timer countdown was a nice touch. Bought for a 55 year old girl who was delighted.
Trying to grab things with the crane is amazingly addictive and fun. It reminded us of the inevitable visits to amusement arcades during trips to the seaside and created endless amusement when it was opened on Christmas day. Cries of anguish every time the 'prize' slipped out of the 'grabber' and whoops of delight when it was eventually deposited down the collection chute. Just like the arcade version. Should I admit that we are all adults. Not a kid in sight. This Candy Grabber can give you a second childhood!
Bought as a gift for my two sons who love this machine.
great fun. just practising which sweets we can use was fun. need to keep the sweets small. Tried jelly trpy sweets and it would not pick them up. hilariour to get a sweets and then run out of time.
Bought this for my son for Christmas it looks brill like a proper carnival candy grabber I'm sure he's going to have lots of fun with it on Christmas Day. Thanks for the fast delivery IWOOT!
We haven't actually played with these yet as they are Christmas presents, however after shopping around for them, IWOOT offered the best price and fantastic delivery! Ordered on the Thursday and arrived on the Saturday - free delivery too! ! Excellent service !
Purchased as a Xmas gift for our son who loves grabbers in arcades, not tried this yet but hoping it fits the bill! Iwoot was best price and quick delivery.
I think this is amazing because it is small, light and easy to carry and easy to play. It has a great quality and I would recommend buying this product if you cant resist a little treat!
Excellent product and good price.
Bought the Candy Grabber as a gift for my younger brother, the site was really easy to use and delivery was very fast overall. Very, very impressed with the service.
We bought a Candy Grabber a couple of years ago and our grandson loved it so much that we have bought another one for his birthday. It's really good fun, especially when all the family visit, and as it is not that hard to grab the sweets. It's also ideal for young children.
This Candy Grabber is amazing and one of the best things I have ever bought for my kids to play with! They love it, long after it was bought it's still getting filled and used.
This Candy Grabber is awesome! I always struggled to win at the fair but this machine has made me so happy. The music is fantastic, it's cheesy (just the way I like it) and sets the tone for a good workout. I love this amazing and fun gadget. It's adorable, has funky music and is filled with sweets. It's a must have treat!
After reading reviews praising the Candy Grabber as a great gift that would provide excellent party entertainment, I got this for my 14 year old cousin. He was excited even before he'd switched it on. It was a huge success! I'd been a bit worried as it seemed a bit difficult to get anything properly grabbed and out of the machine but played with it almost all day until it was nearly empty and had to be refilled. The music on the Candy Grabber is a bit noisy, especially if you put it on a wooden table. Everyone from the youngest girl aged 6 to my brother in his early 20s thought it was amazing, and I received a lot of compliments with everyone wanting to know where I got it. After about 8 hours of constant play, the Candy Grabber sadly stopped working but I must say, they really used it a lot and it was never left alone for more than a minute. My engineer dad fixed it with a bit of industrial lubricant and it kept running the rest of the night. Absolutely fantastic present but try not to overuse it too much or it will stop running so smoothly.
My dad bought the Candy Grabber for my children who are 6 and 16 and they both enjoyed playing with it, which shows it has multiple appeal. It is of sturdy construction, and you can add in other small items instead of sweets to introduce some variety.
This Candy Grabber was purchased as a birthday present for a child of a family friend. Worked exactly as described, easy to setup, and they were playing for sweets in no time! It's still just as hard as the grabbers you see in the arcades (but slightly less rigged!) and soon everyone was up for having a go at the challenge.
We bought it as a fun thing and everyone that tried it loved it. Nice looking and easy to use. The reason it didn't get five stars is that sometimes it gets stuck when the chain gets caught in the grabber, and the music is a bit loud. It helps if you put some fabric under it. But all together a great product for all ages.
My 12 year old got this Candy Grabber for her birthday and it was a big hit with the little cousins who all went crazy for it. However it only gets played when friends/family are around. It's not really a game for one.
This candy grabber is a must for any kid, just wear earplugs or muffle the speaker as it drives you insane after a while! It's a decent size and is very satisfying to play with. I would suggest buying very small light sweets as it can't cope with much else. I'm supposed to be giving it to my neice for Xmas but I've nearly worn out the batteries already! Well, I had to make sure it worked!
The Candy Grabber is a great gadget for the kids, I used it for a party recently and it was fantastic. Thanks again.
i bought for a kid's party and there was a huge queue, and no-one went near the sweets on the table!!
Recently, I was introduced to this fab candy grabber, that could amuse anyone that has a sweet tooth for candy or chocolate. It is so tempting to retry and possibly the good type of addiction!!!! I was up a loooooong time trying to grab my favourite chocolate but was i hopeless! But this is good 4 practising as when I went to the arcade I won a whole load of SMALL teddys lol. They were only small but it was fun. I recommend this brilliant product to anyone even adults!!!
I recently bought this for my children and they loved it! It's a brilliant gift for those who love sweets and of course the fun of the arcade grabber. I'd recommend it to anyone with children.
bought this for my daugher she loves it we get it out at every party famiy fun for everyone and great price to for years of fairground fun
I bought the candy grabber for a friends 30th birthday present, he was really pleased with it and loved the cheesy music.Excellant purchase.
What a great purchase this was iv'e never had so much fun, just fill it with sweets and away you go, it kept my grandchildren occupied for ages and I even had a go myself. best 20quid iv'e spent in ages and I.W.O.O.T delivery was up to usual standard, nice and quick. thanks guys.
Bought for a friend, who reports the entire family are hooked on it and the dog goes nuts at the jingly noise. The only way it could be improved is by making a dog-friendly one which dispenses scooby snacks so it can really drive the dog crazy while everyone else watches and laughs.
I bought this for a kids party. It was fantastic! It kept everyone entertained and busy for hours! The adults loved it too! I would definitely recommend it to anyone stuck for party ideas.I am now going to buy another for a friend's birthday present immediately.
When I opened the Candygrabber I was mildly surprised . It was larger than I had envisaged. On trying it out I had to smile at the somewhat cheesy fairground music that played while I endeavoured to retreive the chocolates I had put in. That first trial cost me the equivalent of £1:20p in tokens for my own sweets. Great fun.
I have bought this item for my 2 children for christmas, on first impression, they look fab.
Awesome fun, after spending just enough time to be better than the competetion, I invited some friends to have a real match. Needless to say I was the ultimate grabber champion. I had to order 3 more machines for my friends, they want to beat me the next time they visit me. Best spent pounds on a gadget

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - The executive editor of The Island Packet of Hilton Head and The Beaufort Gazette is retiring after 42 years in the newspaper business.
The Island Packet reports a search is underway for Fitz McAden's replacement. McAden started his career as a reporter for The Miami Herald and was working as news editor for The (Columbia) State in 1995 when the Island Packet hired him. He also became executive editor of The Beaufort Gazette in 2008 when the papers combined news staff.
McAden, who turns 65 next week, says he pushed to do stories that brought change and made a difference in the community. He wanted the newspapers to be watchdogs, like when The Island Packet exposed how the muck dredged from a local marina project was being dumped into a nearby sound instead of the sea.

ON GRAY MONDAY, OCT. 27, IN THE middle of the pandemonium of the stock market's steepest drop in a decade, the loudest cry from Wall Streeters wasn't "Sell high!," "Buy low!" or even "More Zantac!" Instead the question on panicky brokers' lips was, "Where's Maria?"
In fact, CNBC financial reporter Maria Bartiromo, 30—the person whom thousands of viewers look to each morning for up-to-the-minute market reports—wasn't broadcasting bulletins from the trading floor all day long because she was busy juggling other commitments: the Today show, NBC Nightly News and back at CNBC's Fort Lee, N.J., headquarters—prepping for her regular nightly duties cohosting that network's new offering Business Center. And that was all before the call came to appear the next night on the Late Show with David Letterman. "Where was Maria?" says her boss CNBC executive Bruno Cohen. "All over the globe."
No hedge about it—Bartiromo's stock is clearly on the rise. Her Sophia Loren looks may be responsible for her nicknames—Money Honey and Econo Babe—but it's her financial acumen that keeps viewers tuning in. "Maria's built a tremendous following on Wall Street because, above all, she's a helluva reporter," says Tyler Mathisen, her Business Center coanchor. Time will tell, though, if her blue-chip appeal will boost the show's sluggish ratings. Its format is being revamped to accommodate more news.
Bartiromo began her career as a CNN intern in 1989 while a senior at New York University. After graduating she worked her way up through the network's business-news department before being hired away by CNBC in 1993. Two years later she became the first TV journalist to report live from the stock exchange floor. At first some traders jostled her "because they wanted to see themselves on camera," recalls the Brooklyn native. "And some just bumped me purposely."
Bartiromo held her ground and stayed in front of the camera, which, says her sister Theresa Santoro, 35, a nurse, is where Maria was always headed. "We always knew Maria had flair," says Santoro, recalling her sister's childhood Cher impersonations. "She loved to be 'on.' "
Bartiromo, who is single and lives in Manhattan, isn't planning to slow down anytime soon. "When the markets are busy, I'm going 100 mph," she says. "The rest of the time I'm going 80."

Long-term, phase-comprehensive low resolution spectroscopic observations have been made of M-type Mira variables spanning 4 years. We have determined surface gravities and effective temperatures for R Leo as a function of phase. Spectral observations are compared with synthetic spectra at multiple phases. The synthetic spectra are based on atmospheric models generated by the ATLAS code. Observations are analyzed, and phase dependent plots of effective temperature and log(g) are presented. Phase dependent plots of Teff and log(g) show maximum effective temperature and log(g) at maximum brightness. However, values for Teff and log(g) disagree with the results of non-spectroscopic methods such as stellar interferomtry. Our effective temperatures are cooler and log(g) is smaller. We attribute this discrepancy to LTE approximation of the ATLAS code.

The Big Mules are back and kickin'.
Not that they ever left. Self preservation, after all, is a matter of Big Mule instinct.
I'll spare you a full-scale Alabama history lesson, but since Birmingham is finally spending a little money on a long-overdue Civil Rights Trail, I'll glance back and lead you down the original Big Mules' path.
In the decades and days leading up to the Civil Rights Movement, Alabama money and politics were controlled by a coalition of coal mining giants, utility companies and the steel barons whose bosses built fortunes in Birmingham and lived comfortably in its shadow. This coalition spoke softly, so that regular folks could not hear, but they wielded a mighty big kick.
Social change? Whack.
Progressive tax structure? Whack.
Quality education for all? Whack, whack, whack.
The groups stacked the decks in favor of their status quo, which kept black people in their place and poor whites there with them. And then, masterfully, they used the only real difference between those groups -- skin color -- to pit them against each other.
That left the Big Mules out of sight, and out of the minds of reformers who might take some of what they had.
It's hard not to think of those Mules when you see what happened to the Storm Water Management Authority, which may disappear now that a coalition of New Mules convinced Jefferson County to abandon the program, even though the move could cost the essentially bankrupt county a million bucks.
The political tap-dance was inevitable. The New Mules wield money like their big kick, and it's hard for any politician with any hope for a future to buck them. That explains, I guess, why Commission President Bettye Fine Collins was the only one to stand up to them this week, to vote to rethink pulling out of SWMA -- one of the region's few cooperative ventures and a real advocate for clean waterways.
The public and political face of the New Mules is BARD, the Orwellian Business Alliance for Responsible Development. BARD has worked smartly and relentlessly to crush opposition to its policies, whether that be SWMA or foes of the Northern Beltline.
Backed by real estate and construction interests, coal and steel companies and Alabama Power, BARD has labeled SWMA a "rogue agency" and linked it -- an agency run by a bunch of hardly liberal Birmingham-area mayors -- as a friend to tree huggers.
Just like the old Big Mules, who crushed reforms that might help the people, seeing them as threats to power.
It was about control then, and of course money. It still is. The coal and steel companies have plenty of undeveloped land around rivers, and they don't want SWMA standing between them and their options. Besides, SWMA has the nerve to report their water violations to the Environmental Protection Agency.
"Since BARD can't control us, they want to destroy us and find another way," SWMA chairman Gene Melton said
Another way? That would be the Mule way.
And the Mule way, in Alabama, is the way it has always been.

RINO alert!
Lugar needs to go.
Oh, wait...
Dream Act? Hmmmmmm....wonder which identity illegals will use to register for college (/snix)?
July 21, 2006----BERGEN RECORD, NJ
Texans accused of selling counterfeit IDs (impoverished illegals "here for a better life" pay several thousand $$$ for fake ID's)
Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, NJ L/E authorities said. The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses----for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said state police.
The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. Authorities wouldn't identify the NJ hotel by name for fear it would spark retribution. The Drug Interdiction Task Force regularly runs checks.
The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. Authorities approached the Texas brothers when they returned to the NJ hotel and questioned them separately.
The Texas brothers consented to a search. Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs. All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards. ####
<><><> A Social Security category provides outrageous government financial aid to "illegal refugees" claiming "persecution from drug wars." These phonies never paid a dime into the SS system; yet, they collect seven years straight...... and get extended payments if they are politically well-connected---like having a pal in the WH. The SS checks can amount to $1000 a month, and more. And that's for one identity. Evidence shows illegals establish several identities with phony SS nos and fake documents (which "impoverished immigrants" buy from itinerant document brokers for several thousand dollars). Washington state rapist, Jose Madrigal, had 30 identities.
<><><> Earned Income Tax Credit is also available to immigrants who obtain legal work status. But the law allows immigrants to claim EITC for up to three years prior to obtaining that status. Workers simply file a tax return for the years in which they were not legally eligible to work in the US.
The most widespread abuse stems from the requirement that children live with the worker for more than six months of the year. IRS does little to verify the claim. Many immigrants claim non-existent children, or claim children who theyve left behind with relatives. Those with two or more children and income below $32,121 could get as much as $4,008. It is estimated that illegals got $22 billion EITC refunds.
Illegal ordered to repay $3M in Calif employment fraud
San Francisco Chronicle | June 26, 2010
FR Posted June 26, 2010 by artichokegrower
A former Marysville resident has been sentenced to prison and ordered to pay back $3 million in fraudulently obtained unemployment compensation. U.S. Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner says 31-year-old Manuel Mejia Ordonez was sentenced Friday to eight years and one month in prison for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and identity theft. (Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
Q. How does a citizen of Mexico make $3 million in unemployment claims? A. By establishing multiple identities. The fraudster, Manuel Mejia Ordonez, got eight years for conspiracy to commit mail fraud........and identity theft.

Reconquista shock troops at Phoenix Capital protest, May 29, 2010.
REFERENCE In July 2010, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released the results of a study which examined the costs of illegal immigration at the federal, state and local levels. The study found that U.S. state and local governments shell out $84.2 billion annually in various services (law enforcement, schools, social services, etc.), with California taxpayers alone, spending $21 billion on illegal aliens every year.
The same study found that $29 billion is spent every year in federal funds on illegal aliens. So, while it would cost a one-time fee of about $135 billion to deport every single illegal alien in the country, it is actually a bargain considering the fact that it already costs us $113 billion annually to keep them here.
Here's why Third World invaders are demanding tax paid
college educations----to decimate the US of A from within.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced a 180-degree turn from the Bush Administrations approach to guarding the nations security. By its emphasis on the negative, the Bush Administration gave strength to those who would harm us, Napolitano contended. Calling it a war on terror for example, elevated the scale of violence and increased the risk that we would provoke more attacks.
Napolitano cast her new policy as the power of positive thinking.
When I was a small child I was fascinated by the story of Peter Pan, she said. Just by thinking happy thoughts the characters could fly. Ultimately, they were able to defeat the pirates and return home safely. If we can create those same positive vibes, we, too, can triumph over the modern day pirates who are causing such mischief around the world.
Staff members at the Department of Homeland Security have been instructed to revise the language they use to describe the current situation. Out are terms like terrorist and vulnerable. In place of these negative terms, the Department staff is advised to use those with a different world view and a society open to alternative perspectives of life, respectively.
Representative Peter King (R-N.Y.), the Republican minoritys top ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, called Napolitanos strategy appallingly naïve. She's obviously living in some sort of fantasy land, he wryly observed. Apparently, she believes we can rely on the kindness of strangers to protect us. I think she dangerously mis-perceives the threat.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs dismissed Kings criticism as missing the point. The president is an 'internal optimist,' so he does have Peter Pan-like qualities, Gibbs said.
Hes brought a new sense of hope to the world. I think if we all give him our unquestioning faith, this country may find a strength that has been blocked by the narrow thinking of the past. Read more... http://www.azconservative.org/Semmens1.htm
"Peter Pan? I thought I was Mickey Mouse."
Any conservative challengers that can beat Loogie?
Lugar is globalist/open borders scum!
Not too bad a deal to collect 10,000 per month with 6 phony SS#, if all you face is deportation
Sounds like Lugar got a little election year advice from Juan McCain.

Thank you very much!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
Anyone know the rules in Indiana, in case he loses the primary? Can he run third party?
Under Indiana Code 3-8-1-5.5 states:
Candidates defeated in primary or nomination process; ineligibility
Sec. 5.5. (a) Except as provided in IC 3-13-1-19 and IC 3-13-2-10 for filling a vacancy on a ticket, a person who:
(1) is defeated in a primary election;
(2) appears as a candidate for nomination at a convention and is defeated;
(3) files a declaration of candidacy for nomination by a county, city, or town convention and is defeated; or
(4) files a declaration of candidacy for nomination by a caucus conducted under IC 3-13-1 or IC 3-13-2 and is defeated;
is not eligible to become a candidate for the same office in the next general or municipal election.
The exception in IC 3-13-1-19 states: "Sec. 19. A person who was defeated in a primary election or in a town or state convention is eligible to be appointed by the political party that the person affiliated with by voting in the most recent primary election held by that party. The person selected may fill any vacancy on the party's ticket as a candidate in any general, municipal, or special election following that primary election or convention in which the vacancy occurred. However, a person is not disqualified from appointment under this section for not having voted in the most recent primary election if the appointee is certified as a member of that party by the county chairman for the county in which the appointee resides." As added by P.L.5-1986, SEC.9. Amended by P.L.3-1987, SEC.423; P.L.3-1993, SEC.226.
The exception in IC-3-13-2-10 states: "Sec. 10. A person who was defeated in a primary election or in a town or state convention is eligible to be appointed by the person's own political party to fill any vacancy on the party's ticket as a candidate in any general, municipal, or special election following that primary election or convention." As added by P.L.5-1986, SEC.9. Amended by P.L.3-1987, SEC.427.
In other words the only way Lugar can run as an independent candidate or 3rd party candidate is if he DOESN'T run in the Republican primary. He would have to run initially for that other 3rd or independent party FIRST and then win that party's primary. Once defeated he cannot run again for the same office until the next election cycle.
And the only way Lugar can run after being defeated in the GOP primary is through a vacancy. Example: In 2012 his opposing primary candidate for the Republican Party is Richard Mourdock. Should Mourdock win and then subsequently die, withdraw, or be disqualified due to a criminal conviction, etc.; THEN and only THEN could the IN GOP appoint Lugar as the candidate to fill that vacancy.
So in other words as long as Lugar runs in the Republican party, and as long as he is defeated by Mourdock, and then so long as Mourdock stays healthy and remains qualified, then Lugar can't run as an independent (or any other party) nor can he fill any vacancies on the GOP ticket.
Richard Mourdock is taking Loogie on. Time will tell.
Dick must be running for reelection that is the only time he acts like a Conservative. I hope it doesn't work this time.
I'm a hoosier and I've been voting in this state since 1976. 2012 will be the first election that I can remember where Lugar has had a primary opponent. In the past he keeps getting re-elected because he has ran unopposed in the Republican primary.
But now he actually has a conservative primary opponent!!! I'm throwing all I have into helping Richard Mourdock defeat the RINO. With God's help Lugar's days are numbered.
I've heard Mourdock speak on several occasions. He is quite good. Pretty sharp guy.
Time has passed Lugar by. He is no longer relevent in this current political environment. He should do the honorable thing and retire and give speeches to little old ladies.
I say Dick Lugar before he dicks you.
Lugar is fired in 2012. The only elected he'll now be able to get is the town idiot.
Thanks for going to all the trouble of looking that up. Much helpful information!

Twitter recently switched off basic HTTP authentication, forcing developers to use the more complex (but hopefully safer) OAuth. There are lots of OAuth examples out there, but they all seem to focus on interactive apps, where the user is sent to Twitter to authenticate, and then the app uses the resulting access token to post on the user's behalf.
However, for FuncNet we have a simple script running in a cron job, which posts a status message to @FuncNet every so often. This runs without any supervision, so I was left scratching my head as to how I could obtain the access token and access token secret required to post. The app registration page at http://twitter.com/oauth_clients/details/NNNNNN for each app only shows its consumer key and consumer secret which are something different.
Eventually, thanks to Net::Twitter developer Marc Mims on this thread, I discovered that there's a whole separate page for each app at http://dev.twitter.com/apps/NNNNNN/my_token which has the access token and access token secret required for the app to post to its own account.
N.B. In the URLs above, NNNNNN corresponds to the numeric ID for your application. If you don't know what this is, just go to http://dev.twitter.com/apps, click on the app name to get the consumer strings, and then click on My Access Token to get the access strings.
Once you have these, you can post like this (thanks again to Marc for example):
use Net::Twitter; my $nt = Net::Twitter->new( traits => [qw/OAuth API::REST/], consumer_key => $YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY, consumer_secret => $YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET, access_token => $YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN, access_token_secret => $YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET, ); $nt->update("Bob's your uncle!");
Why you need 4 distinct incomprehensible strings in order to post a single tweet, I don't know, but presumably it's justified on security grounds. What isn't justified is Twitter hiding two of them somewhere else entirely, and not linking to that place from the main OAuth page for the app.
Not useful, guys.
UPDATE: It seems there are bigger problems with Twitter's new process. This detailed ArsTechnica article describes OAuth 1.0a as "an inelegant hack" and Twitter's implementation of it as being "against all reason".
If you're having trouble with it, you're not alone; it seems almost designed to cause problems for app developers, and particularly open-source app developers. The article's well worth a read.

Students at Penn State Altoona walked as a tribute to 17-year-old Trayvon Martin whose killer has not been arrested due to Florida laws.
Martin was walking in Sanford, Fla., with Skittles and iced tea on Feb. 26 when a neighborhood watch volunteer fatally shot him, citing self defense as his reason.
Penn State students gathered Sunday at the Slep Student Center prior to their walk for Martin, who was unarmed and headed home from a store, the Miami Herald reported.
"It could happen to any of us-That is the crazy part of it," freshman English major Selvin John of New York said.
"He was going about his life and lost it, just like that."
Florida's stand your ground law allows people to use deadly force rather than retreat during a fight. Florida is among 21 states with such a law, the Associated Press reported.
About 40 Penn State Altoona students walked with sweatshirt hoods up and Skittles candies in hand during an overcast Sunday afternoon.
In doing so, they joined people nationwide calling for justice that they feel has been lost because of the law allowing Martin's alleged killer, George Zimmerman, to not be arrested.
In many "Stand Your Ground" cases, officers make an arrest and let courts decide whether deadly force was necessary, the Associated Press reported. But police have said they did the right thing by not arresting Zimmerman.
There was no texting and no talking during the students' march through Penn State Altoona campus led by walk organizers Ashia Tokponwey of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Tiffany Juie of Atlanta, Ga.
"It is not an issue of race. It is an issue of human rights," Juie, an international relations student said. "The race issue on top of it is disgusting, but at the end of the day, it is about basic rights."
Tokponwey, a journalism and communications student, said another walk is being planned and will be advertised for the Altoona area.
Blair County NAACP president Donald Witherspoon walked with the students Sunday.
"Students come in from all over the country to be in our community, and I work with Penn State Altoona to make sure students are supported. The 'Stand Your Ground' law is getting a lot of attention-the NAACP is making sure we stand our ground not only for African Americans but for the entire community."

Is there any way to alter this? Picture inside. *Edit*
Is there anything I can do to alter the top? Unfortunately, there's not much I can do without going bankrupt about my tits.
Edit: First off, thanks for all of the ideas! I've taken them all into consideration and I'll update as soon as I find the solution that works best!
Sorry about my messy mane. I didn't bother to brush it, let alone wash it, today since I was planning to lounge around all day when I took the photo. My hair is also very fine and thin so aside from some postpartum hair loss, it looks like I'm losing some hair.
As for the garment, it was a final sale and no returns, exchanges or store credit could be given. It fit well EXCEPT for the bust, as I mentioned my XS shirts I've had before I became pregnant fit me wonderfully still. I underestimated the garment itself as I have a few tops from the same brand and they fit.
Same problem with most shirts,big boobs but small everywhere else nothing ever fits right if I by a size bigger to fit my boobs its baggy everywhere it I by it the right size to fit my body I have HELLO MET MY LADIES going on .I wear a lot or layering sports bras (like walmart have ones that are just the normal cotton sports bras that have a little lacy part at top) but my boobs stil have a mind of thier own they refuse to be contained LOL
i think this is the first pic i have seen of you.
you're so young! lol
Does it have one of those built in shelf bra things? If it does cut it out and the top will fit better.
Quoting zombiemommy7:
Not a cute look. Ditch the top.
Quoting vvinkyloafer:
Or just stare at my tits. That's cool, too.

Center for Integrated Watershed Studies
Susquehanna River at Binghamton,
NY Washington Street Walking
Natural ecosystems purify water and air, modify climate, reduce flooding, and provide
natural products that are crucial to human existence, but few systems have been managed
to sustain these benefits. Watersheds are functional units by which our interactions
with the environment can be assessed, because the water that flows from a watershed
is a measure of the health of that area. Understanding and managing smaller watershed
units, such as streams, is a necessary precursor to managing larger units, such as
the river basins that shape the health and economies of their associated bays, deltas
and coastal environments.
The mission of the Center for Integrated Watershed Studies (CIWS) is to serve as a source of expertise on natural features of watersheds and human effects on watersheds. We endeavor to address the biological, geological, geographic, economic and societal components of watersheds, at all scales of integration - local, regional, and international, and our activities range from field data collection for scholarly research to policy analysis and education.
Camp Badger Reservoir, Spencer, NY
The nature of watershed study is highly interdisciplinary, and one of the main functions of the Center is to draw together investigators with diverse expertise and interests in watershed studies in the hopes of integrating the latest knowledge across all disciplines pertaining to watershed management. In June 2003, the Office of Research and Sponsored Funds at Binghamton University formally recognized the Center for Integrated Watershed Studies as a Research Center. The Center has nine core faculty members, including the director, Dr. John Titus, and Associate Directors, Drs. Joseph Graney and Burrell Montz, drawn from the departments of Biological Sciences, Geology and Environmental Studies, and Geography. The synergism created by the shared interests of these individuals has contributed to the submission of grant proposals to NSF, EPA, USGS, and USDA. The Center has established important off-campus relationships, including a partnership with the Upper Susquehanna Coalition, which is a federally supported multi-county network of natural resource professionals who develop strategies, partnerships, programs and projects to protect and manage the headwaters of the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay watersheds. The Center's educational efforts include plans to create certificate programs in watershed studies, and to be a major participant in the establishment of a large Life Sciences Learning Center for all levels of educational involvement and public outreach. Resident and visiting watershed/ecosystem experts also contribute to the educational aspects of CIWS and enhance the outreach program.

Professor and student reunited in Christmas Opera Shreveport Opera will present its production of "Amahl and the Night Visitors," a story that revolves around the Christmas story, at Riverview Theatre on Saturday. The Christmas production will also reunite student and teacher when Lori Lusted '08 and Dr. Gale Odom team up to play son and his mother in the title roles of the opera. The role of Amahl, a crippled 12 year old shepherd, is performed by Lusted, of Baton Rouge with Dr. Odom, Dean of Centenary College's Hurley School of Music, performing the role of Amahl's mother. Though this is the first time Odom and Lusted have worked together in a professional capacity, they are no strangers to each other. "Lori is one of my former students from Centenary College," Odom said. "So it's a ... joy to work with someone that I saw when she first came to college and now I'm seeing her take her first step as a young professional." Lusted said, "It's been cool for me to work with her on a professional level." The production, written by Gian-Carlo Menotti and directed by Dean Anthony, focuses on Amahl and his mother and the hardships they face. "Amahl is crippled and his mother works very hard but they don't have any money," Anthony said. "Amahl is a big dreamer and he wishes he were not crippled and it's difficult for his mother because she can't provide for him in the way she wants." Also performing in the opera is Dr. Horace English, professor of music, as one of the three wise men. The concert takes place Saturday night beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Riverview Theatre, 600 Clyde Fant Memorial Parkway in Shreveport. Admission is $10 to $25.

Red Bull Moves Into Chelsea's Tech Scene
In a move that will add to the real-estate buzz about Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, energy-drink company Red Bull had decided to move into new offices on 18th Street.
Red Bull signed a lease for 42,000 square feet at 218 West 18th St., which will include a ground-floor event space, according to CBRE Group Inc., the real-estate broker representing landlords Atlas Capital Group and GreenOak Real Estate.
The location, just around the corner from Google's New York headquarters, is in a section of Chelsea that has become increasingly popular with technology companies, including Yelp Inc. and eBay. While Red Bull isn't a tech company itself, its signature high-caffeine beverage is a staple at start-ups and other tech offices.
The Red Bull offices won't just be used to house Red Bull employees. The space will also be home to the U.S. headquarters for the company's Red Bull Music Academy, the broker said.
The academy, which began in 1998, hosts a traveling festival and workshop events with producers, vocalists, DJs and musicians, according to the company's website. Last year's festival in Madrid, for example, included performances by Nile Rodgers and Tiger & Woods.
This year, the academy will be held in New York from September through November. But even after the music events end, Red Bull will remain a long-term presence in Chelsea, according to the landlord.
"It could be a game changer … to add this kind of tenant into the mix," said CBRE's Gregg Rothkin.
Currently, Red Bull sublets a small space in SoHo, according to people familiar with the matter.
Red Bull didn't respond to requests for comment. The company's broker declined to comment.

Silver maker hopes to strike gold with new table linen collection
April 30, 2001-- Home Textiles Today,
WHITE PLAINS, NY — Further expanding on its fledgling home textiles business, Christofle, the 170-year-old silver, crystal and porcelain manufacturer, is introducing a new collection of table linens at the New York Tabletop Market this week.
The new collection is one of two the company will introduce this year as the latest additions to its existing line, which was launched in 1994.
"We are now consistently introducing two collections per year — one in the spring and one in the fall," said Alyson Broads, vp, marketing for Christofle Silver Inc., the company's North American subsidiary. "Each collection includes a damask plus a place print in complementary colors and patterns for formal and casual dining. And the colors respond to porcelains we are introducing at the same time."
This season's new collection includes the Lettres and Ecriture lines, both featuring designs and patterns inspired by silver engravings found in silversmith techniques and soft colors palates with sheen. All of Christofle's table linens are cotton or cotton blends, have mitered corners and are imported from Italy.
Lettres is a cotton damask with a matte finish. Tablecloths are available in four sizes — 71" x 71", 71" x 106", 71" x 126" and 102" round — and napkins are 22" x 22". Price points range from $235 to $400.
Ecriture is a cotton voile with a sheer feature. Tablecloths are available in three sizes — 51" x 51", 71" x 71" and 71" x 106" — and napkins come in a 8.5" x 18.5" size. Price points range from $99 to $185.
The new line will be sold at the 74 Pavillon Christofle stores worldwide, 14 of which are in the U. S. and Canada.
The line is also targeted at major department and specialty stores.
Table linens, the company's smallest and newest category by decades, makes up about 5 percent of Christofle's entire offering.
"The category is expanding every year," Broads said, "and we are increasing it more and more. It fills out our offering. Table linens aren't just a backdrop from an artistic point of view; they tie the entire table together. With our beautiful silver, we realized table linens were the best backdrop for our silver. It's our responsibility as manufacturers to provide all the elements for the table."

Several conservative leaders are voicing concern over three of President Obama's Justice Department picks, claiming their backgrounds show a history of support for pornography, abortion, and assisted suicide.
Most of the criticism targets David Ogden, who's expected to be confirmed Thursday as deputy attorney general -- the No. 2 spot in the Justice Department.
Former Justice Department official Patrick Trueman called Ogden an "activist" for liberal causes, such as pornography, abortion, and homosexuals rights.
As an attorney, Ogden represented cases for Playboy, including a lawsuit to remove federally mandated filtering software in libraries. The requirement was put in place to protect kids from accesing adult Web content.
"It isn't so much that he's represented pornographers or that he's been a porn attorney, but it's his world view. And his world view reflects President Obama's world view," Trueman said.
Ogden has also argued against parental notification laws for abortions and for several gay rights cases, according to the Catholic group Fidelis.
Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America said Ogden was "the wrong person to be in charge." She argues that his background indicates he would be implement "the very laws that he worked to overturn throughout his career."
Still, the Senate Judiciary Comittee voting on Ogden's nomination has recieved ample letters in his favor. The National District Attorneys Association wrote that he has an "institutional perspective" of the agency and is an impressive candidate.
Ogden has already held several positions within the Justice Department.
Signs of the Future?
Conservatives are also opposing two more of President Obama's justice picks -- Dawn Johnsen for her association with an abortion rights group, and Thomas Perrelli, who fought to have Terry Schiavo's feeding tube removed.
Family Research Council president Tony Perkins said Obama's latest nominations only foreshadow a series of "hard left-wing ideologues" to come.
"These people will not only be extremely influential in the application of law. They will also play key roles in filling judicial vacancies on the nation's highest courts," he said.
Perkins added that their selection shows "Obama's rhetoric doesn't meet with reality." He says the country's highest courts would now be "packed" with "left-wing judicial activists bent on imposing personal and political agendas upon the American people."
Challenges like these to Justice Department postitions are not new.
During the past two years, Democrats have made accusation about the Bush administration for firing and hiring based on political considerations.

Why You Shouldn't Judge the Guy in the Porno Theater
Where Are All the Apologies?
I don't seem to be apologizing much yet, do I? And indeed, so far, what is there to apologize for? How could you be upset about two young chinchillas in love, unless you're some kind of monster? (Although perhaps the role of pornographic theater proprietor requires being a monster. Tempting and then prohibiting self-gratification like that? Preventing tiny little miracles from happening every day?)
Well, here's an apology. I am sorry for all the groaning. They were not groans of pleasure, as you probably suspected when you observed me with my hands down my pants during a screening of Breasts 178. (Incidentally, I think you're failing a bit in your role as a curator of the pornographic arts.) Chinchillas have tiny little claws, and when they're excited, they make tiny little scratches, which, when made on a part of the body that shouldn't be scratched, leads to loud exclamations.
"Easy, fellas. You break it, you bought it."
Nevertheless, a movie theater is a place for being quiet, and even if my groaning was non-sexual and somewhat explainable, I disturbed your other customers, and am sorry for it. This sorriness also, sightly, is based on the fact that my evidently quite-distinctive crotch-pain groans attracted the attention of my chinchilla-buying pursuers.
The Gunplay Was Also Primarily My Fault
Keeping a loaded gun in your pants with two chinchillas is not recommended by many gun-carrying associations. Any of them, actually. I've started a Tumblr to share some of the tips I've learned doing exactly that, but that's about the extent of the available literature. Critically, few tips are available on how to properly draw a weapon from such a rig, and, pun slightly intended, the risk of accidental discharge is high.
Still, it did scare away my pursuers, so maybe I'm not sorry for it. I guess I'm kind of sorry about the stream of blood trickling down my pant leg that I tracked through your establishment, though I noticed that your carpet was kind of a blackish brown, so maybe that's not such a big deal. I imagine you have a bottle of Febreze or something around as well. So no harm, no foul?
Now that we're cool again, if you could check your Lost & Found for any frightened, probably hearing-impaired chinchillas, that'd be super nice of you. I should be mobile again in a couple days and will swing by to pick those up. Also falling out of my pants during my escape were some Cheerios (for the chinchillas), a short plastic Habitrail tube (for the chinchillas) and a different short plastic Habitrail tube (for my own personal use).
I won't tell you what it's for, but rest assured that it is disgusting.
Yours bow-leggedly,
Christopher Xerxes Bucholz

Tina Fey
- 1990s
Tina's Turn in the Windy City
After earning her drama degree from the University of Virginia, Fey moves to Chicago, where she joins Chicago's legendary comedy troupe Second City (right) in 1994. She becomes friends with future Saturday Night Live alums Rachel Dratch and Horatio Sanz and meets Jeff Richmond, a director for Second City, whom she begins dating. "I was so happy," she tells CosmoGIRL! in 2008. "I was doing comedy with the best people in the field."
- 1997
Live From New York...
After sending sample sketches to SNL's producer Lorne Michaels, Fey joins the series as a staff writer. By 1999, she becomes the first female head writer on the show. "The skill you need for it is not necessarily to be the funniest person in that group," she tells Parade of her groundbreaking position. "What you need to be is a kind of conduit between the producers and the writers." A year later, she joins Jimmy Fallon as co-anchor of "Weekend Update."
- 2001
Fey Marries Richmond
After seven years of dating, Fey and Jeff Richmond marry in a Greek Orthodox ceremony. "I fell in love with her very quickly," Richmond, who is 10 years Fey's senior, tells PEOPLE. "She has this caustic, biting wit that pops out occasionally, but she really does have a little-girl-from-the-suburbs kind of ambience."
- 2004
Fey's Mean Girls Hit
After writing a film script based on Rosalind Wiseman's book Queen Bees and Wannabes, Fey makes her first movie pitch to Lorne Michaels, who agrees to help produce Mean Girls. The film, which stars Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams, is a hit. "I was cowardly mean," Fey admits to EW of her days in high school. "I would be home with my friends, just endlessly talking about whoever left the room."
- 2005
Baby Mama
Fey welcomes daughter Alice Zenobia Richmond and takes a 43-day maternity leave from SNL. "I had to get back to work," she tells Parade. "NBC has me under contract; the baby and I only have a verbal agreement." That same year, New York Magazine reports that Fey makes an impressive $1.5 million for performing and writing on SNL.
- 2006
SNL: Sitcom Version
Fey quits SNL to write, produce and star in her own TV show – a sitcom about a comedy sketch show. She watches a lot of The Mary Tyler Moore Show to inspire her writing, and tells EW that the idea for the show is to make it relatable to "anyone who works in an office." That fall, 30 Rock airs on NBC, with Fey and Alec Baldwin in the lead roles.
- 2007
30 Rocks the Emmys
30 Rock, which is fledging in the ratings, is nominated for 10 Emmys. It takes home the prize for Outstanding Comedy. In her acceptance speech, Fey thanks the show's "dozens and dozens of viewers."
Face of Writers' Strike
The Writers Guild of America goes on strike, and Fey joins the picketing writers. Although Fey is contractually obligated to continue acting on 30 Rock, she says, "My staff and I are wholeheartedly supporting the strike...I hope they realize we're quite serious. I think they need to know we're very united." After 100 days on the picket lines, members of the WGA accept a deal with producers in February.
- 2008
Baby Mama Tops Box Office
Fey, who appears on the covers of Vanity Fair and Marie Claire, and longtime pal Amy Poehler star in Baby Mama. The comedy, about a businesswoman (Fey) who uses a surrogate (Poehler) to have her baby, opens at No. 1 and grosses $17.4 million in its opening weekend.
Tina 'Can See Russia' As Palin
Fey returns to SNL as Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin. As Palin, Fey famously says, "I can see Russia from my house." The New York Times says Fey's "winking, girlish, folksy impersonation of Ms. Palin has been called one of the most pitch-perfect in political satire." Her multiple appearances through the campaign season raise her profile and increase ratings for 30 Rock.

2001 dodge ram van
by sav3406 from Lockport, NY | July 5, 2013
Best van ever! I have had this van for 13.5 years now with 180,000 miles and it still looks great. Wish I could make it last forever. The 5.9 360 has plenty of pwer for such a big vehicle. No major problems at all, just regular maintenance work. The body is starting to rust though. It's a shame Dodge quit making such a reliable work van like this. They are really missing out on the cargo van market. I would be the first in line to buy one if they brought it back.

Very Versatile
by Sceptical Optimist from | March 26, 2013
My 5.2L Dodge is a great ride with a lot of character. It is SOOO much fun to drive around town and on long trips. I have the conversion van with everything. It is so roomy, and if I need additional room, I can take out the middle seats. Gas mileage is not so wonderful, but I didn't buy it for its fuel economy. Very cheap to fix and maintain as well. A lot of the maintenance can be done your self if you are mechanically inclined.

Worst car I've ever driven

This van is horrible to the driver. No leg room, uncomfortable driver's seat. My '75 Grand marquis got better gas mileage. Can't park it anywhere, because it doesn't fit. Ugly as spit. 15 passengers cramped to close together. All rear seats are uncomfortable. I would never recommend this van to someone I didn't like.

very reliabe van
by Truck Mechanic from Dyer,Indiana | December 30, 2007
I have the 5.2 engine and 4 speed transmission I use this van to travel and around town.This van has been to Colorado mountains and Washington D.C. The engine and trans have plenty of power to offer.I haul a 26 travel trailer and it handles great.The only things I would say is there is low headroom in the back for an adult and the van is narrow compared to my old chevy conversion van.
