Philosophy Orange in Bloom 3-in-1 Shower Gel ($16.00 for 16 fl. oz.) is a companion to Cherry in Bloom, but it is noticeably more fruit-dominated than the latter. Initially, it smells like a burst of orange creamsicles. I don't mean that in a bad way but that is exactly what it reminded me off: the sweetness of vanilla mixed with the citrus of orange.Read Full Review

Philosophy Melting Marshmallow Shower Gel ($16.00 for 16 oz.) is a sweet, marshmallow and chocolate kind of scent. It's a bit like s'mores, a bit like a toasted marshmallow.

Philosophy Silent Night 3-in-1 Shower Gel
Philosophy Shower Gels are one of my personal favorites for body washes, because they come in an assortment of scents, with new ones each season. They lather up well and leave skin feeling clean without any tightness or dryness. I wouldn't call these a moisturizing body wash nor do their scents linger. If you prefer your body wash to leave behind a long-lasting scent, these won't be for you, but if you like to enjoy the scent while you shower but don't want it to linger beyond, then these are perfect. (I belong to the latter category!) I don't find them to lather quite as well in the hair, and they work in a pinch to clean hair, but I prefer many other shampoos over this one. It does, however, work well as a bubble bath, too–a little goes a long way.Read Full Review

As far as the city is concerned, there is no Hollister rally this year. Seems all you ruffians have terrorized the hapless denizens of San Benito County for the last time. Yeah, right!
You know it and I know it... people are coming to Hollister this Fourth of July weekend. It may not be as brobdingnagian as prior years, but we're rolling out the asphalt carpet at the Wizard's Workshop. Offering up live music, food at Wizard's Cafe, book signings by the infamous Sonny Barger and stunt riding shows by Jason Pullen.
Naturally we'll be offering a rally discount and free installation through the duration of the "event". Also a good time to check out the Wizard's Workshop on a self guided tour (that's really just a nice way of saying "Go ahead and look around.")
"What days?" you ask. We don't really know to be honest. Pretty safe bet there'll be people around on Saturday and Sunday, but for the rest of the long weekend we're going to play it by ear. Heck, we want to go have fun too ya know!
Against the odds, our May winner managed to claim the bucks! Seems yer pal Chuck here is a bit of a dullard and can't read (now you know why this newsletter has so many typos). Anyway, our May winner's name was BRACE LAKE (not Bruce). You may recall we also didn't have a last name so that made it a bit quirky too.
Well, the man came through and contacted me with plenty of time to spare and got a $300 Corbin Gift certificate for his effort. YOU are automatically entered to win the June prize so keep your eyes on this spot next week.
Congrats Brace and thanks for reading!
Hopefully you all had a great day last weekend regardless of which side of father status you currently occupy (father, fathered or both). Mine, since you ask, was great. Spent most of the day chilling with the yard apes and performing routine maintenance on the Chuck-family dirt bike fleet (very "Zen" for a guy with a desk job). Yes, life is good and we at Corbin's all hope this missive finds you well. Happy Father's Day!
Note: Shocking as it may be, Chuck did manage to procreate. Isn't there some license you have to get or something?
Corbin truck is currently on location at:
Honda Hoot
Knoxville, TN
June 21 - 24, 2006

WET review
WET is essentially a celebration of all things gritty, action packed, and morally bankrupt, all rolled up into the one word most reviewers use called grindhouse. Basically, think of a low budget action or horror movie from between the 1930s and late 1960s, with heaps of violence, heaps of sleazy shit and heaps of swearing, topped off with some visuals that were anything but pretty. These movies were often fun to watch, but they didn't hold much else beyond that. Basically, fast food for the mind. Based off of that, I didn't expect shit out of this game except a fun shoot em up fest with heaps of blood, swear words and tits. Well, I didn't quite get tits, but it does have a fair amount of blood and swearing, so hey, 2/3 ain't bad.
Not that anybody plays a game like this for the story, but just to humor everyone, here it is - basically, gun for hire Rubi flies over to Hong Kong to escort her contact's son over to him, but it turns out to be a set up by an imposter. He kills the escortee and stabs Rubi, leaving her left for dead. She's alive and ready to kick ass. Really, that's all the story comes down to - control a badass chick and *bleep* shit up. Any attempt at character or plot development is either laughably brief or just laughable in general, but that's not the issue - no, it's the dialogue in general that fails. There's nothing quotable, nothing that sounds badass, and nothing that... does anything, except make me want to skip the cutscenes, and I'm sure you'll do the same. If you're not doing shit with the actual story, focus on dialogue, because some games come out just fine if they have the right dialogue (ie. Shadows Of The Damned).
But whatever, you'd go for these kinds of games for the action, and honestly, WET's action is a rather inconsistent affair. No, not technically speaking; try from an emotional standpoint, but let's go over the technicalities quickly - this game is basically about jumping around, shooting enemies with dual pistols, dual shotguns, dual uzis and a crossbow with explosive shots (all of which get unlocked in increments as you progress - in fact, one issue is that you get the crossbow a tad too late) in slow motion. You would think that constantly being in slow motion would be annoying... well, there's a period of time where it's annoying because it just feels so disorienting to be slowing down constantly in order to shoot bad guys down, but eventually, you just get used to it because you're doing it so much that it feels natural. Not to mention that if you're not jumping and sliding around, you'll very likely to get your ass handed to you, because shooting while standing leaves you vulnerable to heavy fire, which tends to be of the automatic variety, and Rubi takes fairly realistic damage, meaning she won't be alive for too long, meaning you'll have to go into bullet time in order to fight and survive, hence why you'll get used to it.
There are some platforming segments, but most of them are brief, and don't really add to much, except for one frustrating section that'll require hairline precision, and if you're off by even a second, you're dead. It involves running along a wall and then jumping off in the distance at the right time, or moving across ledges and jumping off of them. If this doesn't sound like the Prince Of Persia games, then you need to play them (good games, by the way people). While on the subject of gameplay elements that don't involve shooting people, you'll sometimes be forced to solve "puzzles"... basically, you shoot certain targets while sliding to keep a door open - yeah, it sounds retarded and it really drags the pace down since you're not doing heaps of acrobatics while gunning down bad guys. It gets ditched after the first half of the game, thank god. In fact, a majority of the second half is spent shooting bad guys down.
Let's sum it up - technically, it's pretty *bleep*ing underwhelming. Combat appears to be little more than jumping around to shoot bad guys in bullet time, and platforming is... disposable, pretty much. But I mentioned that the second half is spent shooting bad guys, so the question is "is it fun" - and to that, I say "kind of" and shrug because it's a game of moments, really. When you initially get past the "shit this is weird" feeling, the combat is actually fairly fun. I mean come on, who doesn't like shooting bad guys with some style? Jumping around, sliding, swinging on poles, jumping through windows and other stylish, sometimes over the top shit - all while shooting, you have to admit, is pretty *bleep*en impressive, and thanks to the point system, you'll actually be motivated to experiment as it nets you more points, multiplies your score as you keep it up, and rewards you handsomely at the end of the level if you get heaps of points with upgrades and shit. But the problem is that there's a phase 3, which I call the "meh" phase. This is where you've seen all that there is to offer and the game doesn't try to do much else. At this point, you'd be begging for some extra stylish stuff to come your way to break up the eventual monotony of gameplay.
Ooh, there's Rage Mode, which is basically where the screen turns into something that wouldn't look too shabby on the Virtual Boy, all red and black, but there's white in the color scheme as well - that won't work on it. But seriously, what happens is that you basically kill enemies in one hit. That's... about it - oh, and you can get heaps of points as each enemy killed adds to your score multiplier. Sounds cool and it even looks cool, but it's pretty much the same shit as when it wasn't all red, white and black.
The only other thing to look forward to is when you get to jump from car to car. No, seriously, in a couple of levels, you're placed on top of a car, and periodically, you'll be required to jump onto over cars, run across the side of trucks, and even stab a motorbike rider or two (if it'll sound better, they're bad guys trying to shoot you). A lot of this is done through quick time events, requiring you to press buttons at the right time or else, you'll miss and end up being roadkill. These tend to get a tad picky with the timing, but it's not too much and missing a prompt is just a result of you being slow. Besides, it really lets you pay attention to what's going on... with a lot of jumping and running across the side of trucks during peak hour traffic on a highway. You have to admit, that looks cool.
But that's all this game really is - it just looks cool. Actually, that's a lie on a technical scale, because it looks like a *bleep*en PS2 game. The textures are flatter than Rubi's chest and a lot of the animation tends to look clunky... which probably explains why it's in slow motion - they want to hide the low fps and oftentimes awkward animations! As much as it was a stylistic choice, I'm sorry, but the colors outside of Rage Mode look like ass, like it could stand to have a touch more contrast. The colors just look... dull. Lifeless, boring and just plain "who gives a wing dang doodle". But Rage Mode looks pretty stylish, with a surprisingly effective usage of reds, blacks and whites that doesn't hurt your eyes... in fact, I remember it cured somebody's blindness once - if only the Virtual Boy could do this. But yeah, outside of Rage Mode, the graphics blow and citing Grindhouse as your inspiration for your lackluster graphics makes you sound like an arrogant prick... and take out those shitty cinema adverts that are placed between certain segments - I swear, it's like they're trying way too hard to make it seem all grindhouse-y... no, it just looks like a PS2 game with little in the way of substance and a lot in the way of style... in that instant gratification kind of way, which basically says "one time use only". Boring.
WET has a pretty sick soundtrack, that much you can't deny. The songs have that dirty punk rock feel that you'd expect to be used for a low budget film. The only problem comes from when one song is all you hear for the majority of a level, but eh, these songs suit the mood and sound *bleep*en sweet, so whatever. As for the voice acting... let's just say that it ranges between "meh" and "only works because she doesn't say much". Yep, Eliza Dushku is probably the only voice provider that doesn't go for obvious stereotypes or anything that'd be potentially cringeworthy but ends up mediocre anyway... only when she doesn't say much, though when she says more than a few words, it winds up average due to delivery that's hard to care for - then again, the script mostly sucks ass, so I don't blame the underwhelming performances.
The only way I could recommend this game is if you have absolutely nothing else to play. This was pretty much a filler game, originally used as a gap between Arkham Asylum and Uncharted 2, but in my case, it's while I wait for Tales Of Graces-F to hit my front doorstep so I can *bleep*en play it. Other than that, I mean, it's stylish, I'll give it that, but it wears off pretty quickly, and what you get in the end is a below average action game. Personally, I'd only replay this if Eliza Dushku came to my house and gave me a blowjob while playing it.
Story: 1/5. I thought we were past excuse plots...? Development is either brief or non existent and the dialogue just blows.
Gameplay: 1.5/5. It's got a decent arsenal and some good ideas, but it's all marred by mediocre execution and a severe lack of actual content. Most games tend to repetition by mixing it up in subtle ways; this doesn't. Plus the platforming and "puzzles" were put in there just because they can.
Controls: 3/5. It feels a bit clunky in that you move further than you should or your aiming reticle just doesn't want to hit that sweet spot sometimes. They function alright at the best of times, but it has moments where it wants to be uncooperative.
Graphics: 2/5. Rage Mode looks neat; the rest of the game looks like it was meant for the PS2, with dull colors to boot.
Sound: 3/5. The soundtrack is pretty damn tits; the voice acting is pretty mediocre, save for moments where Rubi delivers a few well executed words. Eliza Dushku gets props for that. Just wish the script was good.
Overall: 2/5. WET just doesn't do much right, and what it gets right will eventually turn sour upon repeated playthroughs. Instant gratification is the name of the game here... if you can even get that at times. Not horrible, but pretty much a waste of time due to shallow content and a poor script.

A 7-year-old disabled boy whose father allegedly has confessed to his decapitation was buried Tuesday in an aboveground crypt with the epitaph "No words ... just a smile."
"We're grieving now. But I know we'll laugh and smile and talk about the things he used to do," Lirette said.
Jori's mother, Jesslyn Lirette, 27, clutched bright flowers as she left the church after the services.
His father, Jeremiah Wright, 30, is jailed in lieu of $5 million bond. A grand jury is scheduled to hear evidence against him Thursday, Police Chief Scott Silverii said.
Hundreds of people gathered for the Mass, said the Rev. Dean Danos, pastor of St. Genevieve Catholic Church.
After Jori's casket was placed in the hearse, a dozen motorcycle riders revved their engines and led the procession to the cemetery, where they lined each side of the road, helmets in hand, as mourners drove in.
The family requested the escort, said Timothy Naquin, a motorcyclist who said he lives next door to Jesslyn Lirette's mother, Delene Himel.
"The little boy loved to hear the motorbikes start. He'd get all happy," Naquin said.
He also loved bright colors and all kinds of animals, Dale Lirette said.
Votive candles, balloons and stuffed animals adorned the porch and yard of the little gray house where the child had lived. A note on white poster paper, stuck in the railing of a wheelchair ramp, read "Thank you for your support," and explained that most of the stuffed toys left at the house had been collected to protect them from the weather.
"They had three or four truckloads," Naquin said.
There were so many that only a few could be brought into the small chapel where Jori's wake was held, Dale Lirette said.
"The funeral home did a good job. They made him look like he's just sleeping," he said. The child was dressed in a red-and-gray shirt over a white, long-sleeved turtleneck, Lirette said.
Jori needed a wheelchair because of cerebral palsy and heart trouble. He had to be fed by a tube because of other medical problems and he had limited speech. He was killed Aug. 14. Wright was booked that day with first-degree murder. If convicted of that charge, he faces either death by injection or life in prison. District Attorney Camille "Cam" Morvant has not said whether he will seek an indictment for first-degree murder or the death penalty.
Among the mourners on hand Tuesday was Christy Fanguy of Gibson, an aunt of Jesslyn Lirette's. She reached into a pocket and pulled out a half-dozen ceramic hearts in different colors. They were being given out in the church as mementos of Jori, she said.
Fanguy was among the mourners wearing black T-shirts with a picture of white angel wings, a halo, a blue ribbon and the words "Justice for Jori."
Asked what justice would be, she said, "Death by lethal injection is too good for him. I think he should suffer the way he made Jori suffer. An eye for an eye."

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
- Directed by Stephen Daldry
===Story=== Adapted from the acclaimed bestseller by Jonathan Safran Foer, ''Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close'' is a story that unfolds from inside the young mind of Oskar Schell, an inventive eleven year-old New Yorker whose discovery of a key in his deceased father's belongings sets him off on an urgent search across the city for the lock it will open. A year after his father died in the World Trade Center on what Oskar calls "The Worst Day," he is determined to keep his vital connection to the man who playfully cajoled him into confronting his wildest fears. Now, as Oskar crosses the five New York boroughs in quest of the missing lock – encountering an eclectic assortment of people who are each survivors in their own way – he begins to uncover unseen links to the father he misses, to the mother who seems so far away from him and to the whole noisy, dangerous, discombobulating world around him. ===DVD Features===

Is Online Poker Rigged?
With online poker becoming so popular over the past decade, it was inevitable that the conspiracy theorists would come out of the woods eventually. I'm all for a government cover-up of alien corpses being kept in stasis at Area 51 or the pyramids being landing pads for spaceships. Unfortunately, online poker players often take the cake for the most outrageous claims against the online poker sites. It often goes something like this after someone's pocket Aces just got cracked by a runner-runner flush 3 or 4 times in a row: "Online poker is rigged! (Insert current host site for unjust events) lets the fish win with the worst hand to keep them with money in their accounts! Bah!"
Is there any truth to these outlandish claims? While there have been a few isolated cases of individual player cheating it simply doesn't make economic sense for the actual poker room to be designed to cheat their players. The argument is deeply flawed for several reasons. Let's examine some of the fundamental reasons against online poker being rigged:
1. Online poker sites simply make too much money. Do you know how much money online poker sites make every hour? Every day? Every year? If you thought that casinos were rolling in cash, think about the fact that online poker sites have no building to keep clean, dealers to employ, floors to polish, or chips to stamp. Online poker sites are virtual cardrooms with little overhead and an unlimited amount of tables to create at any time. Add onto that simultaneous tournaments, heads-up tables, and other online-only phenomena that keep them so unique (and financially comfortable).
Why would an online poker site risk their entire reputation, credibility, legal status, and their cash flow to rig the results? Who would it help? The bad players? Why the heck would they want to do that? When these sites (many of whom answer to public stockholders and corporate executives) make so much money, why would they do anything so corrupt to risk a virtually guaranteed income?
Online poker rooms make much more money as objective bystanders running the tables than they would by getting involved behind the scenes and rigging the games. So, from a strictly financial point of view (which, of course, motivates most decisions of large companies) fixing the game doesn't make sense.
2. Online poker sites don't care if bad players win. Why do people think that these sites would help the fish win? How would it possibly help them? Truth be told, if online poker sites could rig the outcome of hands and have their way, they would keep everyone as close to even money as possible. They're losing a good, revenue-producing, strategic player by purposely cracking his pocket Aces and making him go broke. How does that help their bottom line? Even if they take more rake from larger pots, refer to reason 1 above.
Online poker sites would rather keep around the solid semi-professional or professional player rather than an impulsive fish that will go eventually go broke much sooner than later. Online poker sites don't care who wins, but if they really favored anyone it would be the guy willing to go all-in with pocket Kings rather than the guy with 9-6 offsuit.
3. Online poker sites are regulated by independent agencies and governments. The random number generators (RNGs) used to assign values to the cards must be verified by an outside independent organization. These certifications are routinely updated and tested running millions of hands. An online poker site can only operate after it has passed these tests. Also, sites are regulated by their respective governments (usually Canada, Gibraltar, or Antigua) to ensure fairness in operations to their customers. You can find out information on any poker site's RNG and testing through their homepage and/or support.
4. Bad beats happen everywhere and in every aspect of life! Get used to it so you can recover easier. Bad beats such as pocket deuces sucking out on pocket Queens aren't restricted to the online poker table. Spend any time at a casino cardroom or even watching the much-edited televised poker tournaments and you'll see just as many extreme bad beats as you will online. It may seem like it happens more often online because you're seeing twice as many hands per hour as actual cardroom play. That fact is compounded even further if you're playing multiple tables. Sure, the odds might be slim of your fishy table-mate hitting that flush on the river, but you'll see much more extreme bad beats happen everywhere in the casino and in life.
That blackjack dealer is going to draw that 5 to beat your 20 or the guy at the craps table will roll snake eyes 4 times in a row. Odds are just that: odds. They aren't guaranteeing you an outcome but give you the long-term chances of that particular outcome. Learn to live with the fact that things don't always go as expected and maybe you can learn to keep your emotions in check and recover faster next time.
The point of this article is to teach you that it is self-defeating to blame online poker sites for bad beats. They definitely sting and can be incredibly unlikely but they will happen to you regardless if you play at the local cardroom or online. I hope that I've shown you that it simply isn't logical for poker sites to rig the results. It doesn't make sense for them economically, they have no reason to favor bad players, they're monitored by outside agencies, and things simply go against the odds at times. So, feel comfortable at least in the fairness of playing at your favorite online poker site – just don't throw away that book on Roswell!

Thanks to reader, Liz, for the heads-up:
Liz says that Larabar is coming out with New Larabar flavors!
My only question for Larabar is: Why has it taken you this long to make a carrot cake flavor?! 😉
Thanks to reader, Liz, for the heads-up:
Liz says that Larabar is coming out with New Larabar flavors!
My only question for Larabar is: Why has it taken you this long to make a carrot cake flavor?! 😉
Katie is the baker, photographer, and author of the popular blog Chocolate-Covered Katie. Her favorite food is chocolate, and she believes in eating a balanced diet that includes dessert every single day. More about Katie—>
That photo for your chopstick challenge looks like a blueberry pizzert? A carrot cake larabar sounds amazing!
Chocolate chip cookie dough and carrot cake?!?!?! I don't want to wait 😀
Ahhhh! Thanks for letting us know!
I've always said that you should work for Larabar, Katie 😉
I'd like to see an almond-chocolate chip flavor, since those are my favorite fudge babies.
yay new larabars. but their so expensive fudge babies are much better and their yummyer anyway! love you katie! xoxoxo
Oh my gosh, so many delicious new flavors! I'd love to see a mint chocolate larabar. Mmm…
I like Larabars, but I like making babies better. Wait, that didn't sound right. Oh, you know what I meant. 😉
I did, however, buy my first Jocalat last night. I haven't eaten it yet, but I'm excited! (Yes, I'm excited over a food bar. 😀 )
I agree with the commenter before me. They need to make a mint chocolate chip Larabar. I still need to make fudge babies too, so maybe I will make my own mint Larabars! 🙂
dream larabar flavor?
pineapple upside down cake
mocha (coffee + cocoa)
raspberry almond
I'm skeptical about the new Larabar flavors but I'll give them a shot! I haven't been wowed by any of the current ones though. IMO, your fudge babies (and all the variations) are much better!! 🙂
Jenny's pictures are AMAZING!!!!
Anyways, I'm all over the carrot cake LaraBar.. and chocolate chip!
ooh! I agree with Erin above – a mint chocolate bar would be great. But they do have one in the jocolat line – i should try that!
can't wait to try the carrot cake – hope a store near me picks it up! Isn't it crazy/annoying that the price varies so widely from store to store? At least here in NYC it can. Oh well, I know where to get 'em!
Am I the only one who doesn't like Larabars????????
I agree with Jessica. Your fudge babies, at least all the varieties I've tried, taste so much more flavorful and richer than the regular Larabars. Plus, they're cheaper too!
No offense, Larabar ;).
ooooh i hope larabar carrot cake is better than clif!
WOW! I can't wait for the carrot cake flavor:)
The cashew lara bar is amazing- so is the peanut butter one- they're just like candy- only more natural!
We don't have larabars here so I've never even tried one!

Former Saints safety and convicted serial rapist Darren Sharper likely will spend 15-1/2 to 20 years in prison under terms of a new plea agreement unveiled Tuesday (March 22) in New Orleans' federal court. That's substantially higher than the nine years Sharper had first faced.
U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo last month rejected as inadequate that nine-year federal prison term in Sharper's initial global plea agreement with the U.S. government and four states. Milazzo accepted a new guilty plea from the former football star on Tuesday.
Under the new deal, Sharper will more closely conform with federal sentencing guidelines that recommend 188 to 235 months for the drug conspiracy and distribution violations to which he admitted guilt.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael McMahon, who read the supplemental plea agreement aloud while standing next to Sharper and defense attorney Billy Gibbens, said the government was making no specific recommendation of how much time Sharper should serve.
But McMahon said the government might recommend leniency when Sharper is sentenced June 16, if his cooperation proves helpful in the upcoming trial of Sharper's alleged accomplices Brandon Licciardi and Erik Nunez. Sharper's co-defendants, who have pleaded not guilty, are scheduled for trial May 12 in Milazzo's federal courtroom.
"Mr. Sharper has agreed to cooperate," McMahon said. "We may bring to the attention of the court his cooperation, if we deem that to be substantial. We are not bound to make such a notice to the court. That's going to be within our discretion. No promises have been made, but the possibility is there."
Milazzo accepted the new agreement, but warned Sharper the ultimate decision on the length of his sentence will be hers alone, and that it could fall somewhere outside the federal sentencing recommendations at her sole discretion.
"Yes, ma'am," Sharper said.
The guidelines from the U.S. Probation Office recommend a sentence for Sharper's federal crimes ranging from 15 years and 8 months to 19 years and 7 months, with a maximum of 20 years.
Sharper, 40, has pleaded guilty or no contest to charges that he drugged and sexually assaulted nine women in four states. The global plea agreement the former NFL Network commentator entered into May 29, 2015, resolved cases pending in California, Arizona, Nevada and Louisiana. It included Sharper pleading guilty to raping three women in two New Orleans incidents between August and September of 2013.
Licciardi and Nunez also face state charges and have also pleaded not guilty in state court, where they each could be sentenced to mandatory life if convicted of first-degree rape, amongst other charges. They are scheduled to appear April 15 for a motions hearing in state court before Orleans Parish Criminal District Judge Karen Herman.
Herman repeatedly has postponed Sharper's sentencing in state charges in her courtroom, waiting to see how Milazzo would resolve his federal case. It appears Herman will be the last judge to determine whether the remainder of Sharper's four-state plea agreement remains intact.
That original deal called for Sharper to register as a sex offender and live under restrictive parole conditions in Arizona for the rest of his life after completing his federal prison sentence.
A seven-count superseding federal indictment handed up last July charged Licciardi with two counts of witness tampering, one count of obstructing a federal grand jury, and three counts of conspiring to distribute illegal and prescription drugs with the intent to commit rape.
Nunez is charged with destroying evidence, namely a cellphone containing text messages from Sharper and at least one of the two women that he and Sharper are accused of raping on Sept. 23, 2013, in the former NFL Network commentator's Tchoupitoulas Street apartment.

Cancelled census cost $65 million
Wednesday 2 Jan 2013 8:41 a.m.
By 3 News online staff
The 2011 census, cancelled in the wake of the devastating February earthquake in Christchurch, cost $65 million – though not a single piece of data was collected.
Statistics New Zealand says the money was spent primarily on contractors, of which there were more than 7000, who had already delivered census forms to half a million homes.
The census was supposed to happen on March 8, 2011. It will now be held in March of this year with a budget of $90 million – though because much of the preparation has already been done, Statistics NZ says it is more likely to cost around $72 million.
The lack of fresh data could be costing the country even more though, as some government ministries are currently relying on seven-year-old figures to allocate funding.
"Billions in funding allocated is based on census data," Census 2013 general manager Carol Slappendel told Fairfax.
"But when you get to year five, six, seven out, the variability in the reliability starts to increase."
This is a particular problem in New Zealand because of our high internal mobility – more than half of all Kiwis moved house between 2001 and 2006.
"As the population changes, areas grow and others get smaller, it is important we are using our scarce resources in areas of need," says Ms Slappendel.

Compounds found in wild lettuce has analgesic effects similar to ibuprofen. - GreenMedInfo Summary
Analgesic and sedative activities of lactucin and some lactucin-like guaianolides in mice.
J Ethnopharmacol. 2006 Sep 19;107(2):254-8. Epub 2006 Mar 17. PMID:16621374
Lactucin (1) and its derivatives lactucopicrin (2) and 11beta,13-dihydrolactucin (3), which are characteristic bitter sesquiterpene lactones of Lactuca virosa and Cichorium intybus, were evaluated for analgesic and sedative properties in mice. The compounds showed analgesic effects at doses of 15 and 30 mg/kg in the hot plate test similar to that of ibuprofen, used as a standard drug, at a dose of 30 mg/kg. The analgesic activities of the compounds at a dose of 30 mg/kg in the tail-flick test were comparable to that of ibuprofen given at a dose of 60 mg/kg. Lactucopicrin appeared to be the most potent analgetic of the three tested compounds. Lactucin and lactucopicrin, but not 11beta,13-dihydrolactucin, also showed sedative properties in the spontaneous locomotor activity test.

Convenient location.
A lot of noise on floor above us.Very uncomfortable pillows.
free breakfast
The lobby, hallways, and the elevator were hot
The comfort of the room. It was open and not cramped like many hotels. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, as well as the lobbies and breakfast area.
Good location
Mold in ice machines and drinking fountain, very visible. They don't know how to use a vacuum cleaner. Faucet in bathroom had a trickle of water. Cigarette burn on bedspread which was supposed to be a non smoking room.
Great place for the price. Clean and quiet and breakfast was really good. Would stay again if I need a place in Granbury.
Shower wasn't very clean
Accommodations were fine: beds, rooms, etc.
Rude staff. We had a party of 10 for breakfast. Our server was friendly. The other lady- I am guessing that she was over our server was rude and hateful to our server in front of us. In addition, she was rude and hateful to us as guests. We needed an additional table for our party and we did not mind waiting. When additional tables came open, she ignored our request for a table when we asked and was extremely rude when we asked.
The front desk staff was very nice and personable, were very willing to help. The location was pretty nice, it's not close to the square or beach if you need to walk, but the drive is very short and it's very close to many grocery stores and reaturaunts.
The carpet in our room made our feet black by walking on it barefoot. Our room also smelled like stale bread the whole time and after talking with another guests they said theirs was the same I didn't bother asking for another room. The shower was also nasty and there were hair clumps on the shower head that had not been cleaned off. Luckily the bed and towels were clean, but otherwise it just wasn't the type of stay in used to and would prefer something else
Desk staff were awesome.
Coffee cups were tiny. Found an old cup of orange juice in room. Room was nice but not as nice as same room at LaQuinta New Braunfels.
I liked their pillows were very comfortable, room was clean and very cool. Like the location of the pool. It was our second time that we stayed there. We were very pleased again.
Had to go up front for the ice because machine was not working. Coke machine was not working or it just wouldn't take the dollar bill and no snack machine.
Friendly desk ladies, and the hotel was in a good location.
Clean, modern, and comfortable.
Entrance/exit location a bit awkward
Clean, hospitality was amazing!
Nothing I can think of. Everything was perfect!
This hotel was the most disgusting place I have ever been in in my life. I wouldn't let my dog use the restroom in that room.
I was very displeased with everything about the whole situation
The worst! Rooms weren't ready at check in. Cleanliness inside and out was poor. Room had no hangers, tissues, hand towels,no drain plug in tub, no blankets, two small pillows, no note pads/pens/etc,. TV reception was poor...red tint.

Kids who are looking for a good place to run, jump or swing have lots of great choices in Chicago. We have parks with swings and slides, parks with sandboxes, parks with water features, and parks with lots of green space to run and run and run.
One of our favorite parks is Adams Playground Park, located on Seminary in Lincoln Park. This park got all new playground equipment three years ago and has lots to offer kids of various ages. The park also features a sandbox with some communal toys. I would say that the sandbox is slightly cleaner than the average sandbox (but I try not to think about it too much). The park also has some grassy spots where you can spread out with a picnic. The parking is usually pretty easy to find (by Lincoln Park standards).
By far the best feature of the park is the water playground area. The water area is a separate, fenced-off space that includes a water slide and multiple other fun water apparatuses. This is a wonderful resource for families living in Chicago (where a nice pool or place to cool off can be hard to come by). The hours for the water park can be pretty sporadic so you might want to call ahead or pick up a schedule.
On July 1st, Adams Playground Park is hosting a Toddler, Tunes, and Turtles event where activities will include a sing-a-long, dress up and hands-on nature activities.
One last secret . . . Adams Playground Park is a great place to have your kid's birthday party. For a very reasonable fee, you can have exclusive use of the picnic table area. Invite your guests and their families to join you for some fun in the water park. Order some pizzas, bring along some balloons and cupcakes and you have yourself an easy birthday party.
Which parks do you and your little ones especially love?

The company's PCs, Soluto, has conducted a study in which the superiority of the MacBook Pro with Windows highlights, compared to other computers that have this operativode base consolidated system manufacturers such as Dell, Acer or Lenovo. To do the study, the Windows operating system was installed from zero to several laptops from different brands, including some of the leading brands of the PC market and Apple MacBook Pro 13.
Soluto After installation, PC analyst firm, conducted disitntas performance testing and that led to a startling conclusion: The MacBook Pro 13 thinking computer, do not forget to Mac OS X operating system performs tasks more efficiently Windows that own computers with this operating system by default. according to the study, compared to MacBook Pro 13, regular PCs have nothing to do. And in most cases the main problem of the slowdown of PCs versus Macs, due to the amount of crapware, ie, default software that comes preinstalled on Windows computers.
A major factor in the metric of this machine is the fact that each installation of Windows has been done is a Mac "clean". While PC makers charged too much software preinstalled on laptops, which slows down the PC. PC makers should look at this data and aspire to create computers that perform as well as a MacBook Pro, and discover that they must download the crapware PCs. "Analysts said Soluto
The study variables were measured for a week as the stoppages in applications, the "hang" of computers, blue screens (of death) and the starting time. Although Soluto concluded that the MacBook Pro 13 is the best Windows computer, also you made a list of the disadvantages of running Windows on a Mac, such as excessive work involved the installation of the operating system, as well as in You can sometimes create problems with the drivers.
