Ripoff Report

holsted jewelers Plead for refund due to terminal health. But receive a sales pitch instead. Trade them for a kidney. new york New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Holsted Jewelers sends a flyer out stating free rings and gift just pay for shipping and handeling. Knowing nothing is for free I noted that shipping for a ring that weighs and ounce is 6.99. This is obviously how they make their money since to ship an ounce anywhere in the US is less than a dollar.
I get a total of four rings and on my bill it reads 6.99 each. Then a couple lines down the fifth and sixth ring are 56.98 each. I take all six rings and return them right away along with a letter stating I had no idea that this was what was going to happen and to please credit my account.
Nothing happens for weeks. I call and get the run around until I finally get someone who is willing to credit the two charges of 56.98 minus 6.99 each for shipping. Now I sent all 6 rings back with 4 stamps. So it cost me about 29 cents per ring. So now im stuck with a bill for $41.94 plus the interest i've been paying on the original $140.00 and I have nothing.
I plead with this women that my husband is in end stage renal failure and I am getting ready hopefully to give him a kidney if my health will permit it. We are a perfect match. That we cannot afford to give money away and I probably shouldn't have spent the $6.99 on the rings anyways but I wanted to have something pretty since lately thats not much of an option.
She flat out refuses to refund me and then I say well can I have my rings back the ones I paid $6.99 for and she says "yes but i have to charge you $6.99 for each one again". So if I want back the rings I have paid for and sent back in hopes of a refund that i did not get I have to pay for them twice. I quess she gets to have them now. Unbelievable. Shocked. So i say put them in a bubble envelope like I did with a couple stamps and send them I don't mind. Shes says "No have to charge you another $6.99 each." scammed totally.

The new courses, including a module in Digital Forensics Management, will teach skills such as defending against IP espionage and identifying the source of information leaks.
According to representatives at the Open University, the new modules have been created to teach skills that are currently in demand in the sector.
The skills shortage is currently a problem, with organisations such as The Cyber Security Challenge attempting to raise awareness about the shortage of appropriately trained individuals.
Blaine Price, senior computing lecturer for the Open University, highlights that in terms of cyber security it is not necessarily only employees with technical skills that need to be able to identify threats and attacks but also other IT professionals or those in other positions such as HR.
"The main thrust of this teaching is to give individuals the kind of up-skilling they need to be effective responders to an incident of some kind in an organisation," said Price. "Traditionally, security has been a very small part of teaching if you're doing a computer science degree or any other kind of post-secondary training in IT; it was considered a very niche area."
Organisations are beginning to realise that the kind of basic training that many people will have received around this subject area is not enough, but that people shy away from learning more about cyber security because it has a reputation for being highly technical.
More on cyber security
The Digital Forensics course may also highlight legal requirements based around a case involving employee data that HR representatives should know but may not be aware of.
"There are aspects of digital forensics that are relevant for people in HR and there's legislation that you should know about and there are policies and some simple tools."
Other modules will also be available in software engineering, software development and project management.
The new qualifications have been designed to meet the accreditation requirements of BCS, and enrollment for the May modules closes on 17 April.

Bull at a soccer match
You couldn't swing a can of energy drink without hitting some form of Red Bull advertising at Kino Stadium on Wednesday night.
There were hoarding boards on the field, two giant red and yellow blowup archways as fans entered the stadium and a blue tent behind the southeast corner flag. Then there was the event car vehicle.
Event car driver Steven Greene said the massive black four-door International truck was made "for the military a while back, and they ended up not getting the bid."
It was pumping out high-beat music well before the start of the first match. Fans were able to play FIFA 2010 and FIFA Street on two XBox consoles.
"Red Bull has 13 of these vehicles," said Greene. "It has four speakers, four TVs and two XBoxes. We have a DJ booth. This car goes all over the Western part of the United States."
The big number
Years of MLS playing experience among the Desert Diamond Cup coaches. New York's Mike Petke (13 seasons), Real Salt Lake's Jason Kreis (12) and New England's Jay Heaps (11) all were mainstays in the league. Seattle coach Sigi Schmid's playing career, which included four years at UCLA, was over before the league began.
Sounders supporters
Among those in the crowd cheering for Seattle Sounders FC were former Seattleites Vicki Walton and Ira Yedlin.
The couple, who now live in Phoenix until the home they are building in Bisbee is finished, came to see Seattle defender DeAndre Yedlin. They have raised Yedlin since he was 1. The retirees enjoyed the night watching Yedlin play for Seattle.
"This has been a great experience," said Ira Yedlin, who was wearing a thick, green Sounders jacket as well as Seattle scarf. "It's a nice venue." They intend to be here for the whole tournament.
"I didn't know about MLS until I went to college. I would watch MLS Cup, but I couldn't have told you five teams when I was 16, 17 years old. Every year it gets better and better."
- Seattle midfielder Brad Evans on how the league has changed since he entered it in 2007
Sounders supporters, Part II
Tucsonan Julie Freeh and her 12-year-old daughter, Emily, were out to cheer on the boys in lime green. Julie said her brother is from Tacoma and they go up to see the Sounders play each year in Seattle.
"It's awesome to be so close to the field," Julie said.

Inter midfielder Dacourt needs knee surgery
MILAN, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Inter Milan midfielder Olivier Dacourt must undergo minor surgery on a knee injury, the Italian champions said on Monday.
The Frenchman suffered ligament damage in Sunday's 2-0 win at Fiorentina and will have arthroscopic surgery, Inter's website said.
The club gave no indication of recovery time but media said Dacourt would be out for at least 40 days.
Inter have been hit by a series of injuries to midfielders this season but are three points clear at the top of Serie A and have qualified for the Champions League last 16.
Luis Figo and Patrick Vieira are out with long-term injuries while Dejan Stankovic has only just returned to action.

Hussain, Kazim (1996) SORPTION STUDIES OF WASTE WATER EFFLUENTS CONTAINING METALLIC POLLUTANTS AND RADIOACTIVE NUCLIDES ON NATURAL SOILS AND CLAYS. PhD thesis, University of the Punjab, Lahore.
The study on Natural Bentonite and Alumina in HNO has given birth to a new idea which resulted in the form of present study i.e. sorption on processed Bentonite and Fuller's Earth in HCl media. Significant changes in results have been observed as compared to the reference studies. The main purpose of the study was to establish the feasibility of Pakistani soil and clays for the disposal of waste water effluents containing low concentrations of heavy, metallic nuclear pollutants. The sorption of strontium (89) cobalt (60) and antimony (124) under varying experimental and optimum conditions for their sorption on precessed bentonite and F. earth has been studied. The sorption experiments were performed by batch technique using radioactive nuclides of the elements as tracers. Distribution coefficients, Ka and percent sorption, P, were determined radio metrically as a function of all pertinent variables i.e. shaking time, pH (1-II), temperature (13-45oC) adsorbent and adsorbate concentrations. The p11, i.e. obtained to mixing the metal solution in 0.1 N HCl with solid in 20:1 ratio was used for the sorption studies of Sr2 and Co2 where as the sorption of Sb5 was studied at pH obtained by dissolving Sbcl3 in 60% HCI, except where otherwise mentioned. All type affects of complementary cations and some organic complexing ligands were also investigated. Desorption experiments were also carried out to understand the adsorption mechanisms, from zero time to 48 hrs at 25 and 45oC. Adsorption isotnerms at various concentrations and temperature for all the above noted metal ions on processed bentonite and F. earth have been acquired. The sorption data for all the metal ions studied have been interpreted in terms of Freundich, Langmuir and D-R equations. The values of all possible parameters in these equations have been determined, discussed and summarized for all sorption systems. By using various thermodynamic and supplementary equations the values of thermodynamic parameters e.g. free energy of sorption GÃÂÃÂÃÂð, heat of sorption Ho and entropy changes S0 have been found. It has been observed that the sorption mechanism is endothermic below 25oC and exothermic above that in some of the cases. The mean free energy of sorption, E for all the sorption systems has also been calculated. The results have been interpreted in terms of all possible sorption mechanisms for each individual system. The optimum conditions for the sorption of these metal ions on processed bentonite and F. earth have been established and reported for further studies. The energy peaks (Radioactivity with date and time) of all experiments have been recorded on MCA coupled with an IBM computer for any future reference.

Avis sur les autres logements de cet hôte
L'appartement était assez agréable et propre. Il était situé directement northetn de Centre ville Praha. Dans l'ensemble, c'était ce que je m'attendais
The Apartment was Pretty Nice and clean. It was located Directly northetn of praha town Centre. All in all it was what i expected
I would not stay at this place again, in fact I only stayed the first night and found alternative accommodation elsewhere. I arrived late and chose not to take the taxi as it was more expensive than the one from the airport. I wasn't given the code to get the key for the door. I was instructed to ring a number which I did and then was told to ring a different number.The whole process took too long and there was absolutely no welcome at all. The place was cold and unfriendly. The carpet in hall way stank and the room itself stank of bleach and was like a prison cell!The host was not helpful at all, considering that I am a foreigner and don't know the country very well.I would not recommend this place to anyone.I gave it a one star rating as there is not option to give zero star.
Starts with smelly reception area. Tobacco smoke and B.O. Then met by a very unfriendly fat man who was of no help. He shoved two registration slips in front of us and grunted something about filling them out. When we got to our room on the third floor (in the attic) the room remained was stifling hot!! And remained so our entire stay despite some sort of cooling fan that was not adequate. We stayed three nights. The shower leaked and was "repaired via tape". The stair was broken and we tripped on that.
When we checked out we found out breakfast was offered. No one told us about this ether. We will certainly not stay here again.
We arrived late in the evening, so when we wanted to collect our key, the reception was already closed. After a few phone calls we were able to pick up our key at the seemingly closed casino next door.
The apartment itself was great, clean and bright. The only downside was that one of the sofa beds (we were with 4 persons) was a bit on the hard side. It's a great apartment if you don't want to cook yourself, because otherwise options are limited (not a lot of plates and a weird stove).
The breakfast was kind of simple. A few toasts with jam or honey, the coffee and the tea were lovely.
In the neighborhood there were a lot of nice restaurants, mini-markets and other places to eat. Shops like Pho, Pizza Letna and Mr. Hotdog were nice places to grab a bite.
The apartment was very close to a big park. This park leads to places like the Metronome, Prague Castle and an overview point of pretty much the entire city. Via the park you can also easily reach downtown Prague (straight ahead when you enter the park (just when you passed the flowers)).
We gave 3 stars. This is because of the fact that, like we said, the breakfast was a bit simple and because there weren't always people at the reception. The Wi-Fi in the room itself was pretty bad. The Wi-Fi in the hall was better.
Jan's apartment is a really nice place to stay. Near to the river and to the old town, also to the public transport. In the apartment was everything, what we needed. Only wifi coverage was too weak to use. After the day on foot it was a pity for the teenager girl ;)
To sum up, thank you, Jan!
The place is great, I enjoyed a lot the view and the location is good you can go everywhere from here. The tram is one block from here And there is a nice big park near where you can hang out. I totally recommend this place.
Really nice stay, no problems at all for anything! =)
Nice clean and roomy apartment. It was nice to stay for 2 nights.
very nice, safe location and wonderful breakfast

Community!Why Statistics?
I was first introduced to statistics while studying applied mathematics as an undergraduate. During my year off after graduation, I decided that I wanted to pursue statistics further.Faculty:
All the professors here are highly accomplished, yet they are still friendly and accessible. Also, they really take the time to make sure you understand concepts fully.Why Baylor?
I briefly enrolled in a master's program at a small local university in Houston in order to take some additional statistics courses and eventually applied to transfer to the program here at Baylor.Unique Aspects:
I think what's special about Baylor is that it has a very supportive learning environment-- students are willing to help each other out and professors are very accessible.Baylor Community:
I just like having the opportunity to learn in a supportive and friendly environment. Also, I really like the Baylor campus.Recommend Program:
Yes! Oprovides a great learning environment along with many great opportunities for the future.Surprises at Baylor
No. Everything has pretty much gone as I expected.

|st: RE: conditional estimates for survey data
|Fri, 25 Oct 2002 10:49:57 -0400
It is hard to generalize about the difference between the conditional and unconditional estimates of the variances. It depends on the within stratum effects. If your population of interest happens to be a subset defined by the stratification variable, you can get away with the conditional (the estimates are actually stratum specific, and then combined). Why would you need to adjust the weights of a sub-pop? And what survey are you using that has 7.5 million observations? If at all possible, I would suggest limiting the number of variables in your file and trying to maintain the full sampling structure. Bryan Sayer Statistician, SSS Inc. firstname.lastname@example.com -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 2:39 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: st: conditional estimates for survey data Hi, I am analyzing a data set containing national survey data with over 7.5 million observations. According to the Stata manual and Cochran's book on sampling, I should use my entire data set to obtain unconditional estimates for the standard error. Any spliting, including the use of commands such as "if", would generate conditional estimates. Given that running the analysis with over 7.5 million observations seems to be computationally challenging, I am now trying to understand the meaning of the conditional estimates I would obtain by restricting my population only to the ones with the condition of interest. Here are my questions to the list: 1. How do I interpret conditional estimates of standard error? Are they generalizable to the target population (individuals with the condition of interest in the entire country)? 2. Would these estimates be smaller than the ones obtained if it were possible to make the estimates based on the entire patient population? 3. Is a conditional standard error necessarily biased in comparison to the unconditional? 4. Can weights be adjusted for a given subpopulation? If so, I would appreciate any references on the subject. many thanks, Rick Ricardo Pietrobon, MD Duke University Medical Center * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

White House gatecrashers hurt US security agents' jobs
3 officials put on paid leave for letting in uninvited couple at state dinner.
Washington: Three US Secret Service officers have been put on paid leave for their role in letting an uninvited socialite couple breeze into President Barack Obama's dinner for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and shake hands with both.
The agency, charged with protecting the president and visiting dignitaries, had identified the agents who had worked the security checkpoint from where an aspiring reality TV contestant Michaele Salahi and her husband Tareq slipped in to join the party, lawmakers were told Thursday.
"Established procedures related to entering the White House were not followed at the initial checkpoint," Secret Service director Mark Sullivan told the House Homeland Security Committee. "A mistake was made. In our line of work we cannot afford even one mistake."
Sullivan took responsibility for the security breach calling it "unacceptable and indefensible." But he said Obama and Manmohan Singh were never in danger. The officers failed to follow procedures that require them to call a member of the White House staff if they are approached by people seeking entry who are not on the guest list, he said.
Sullivan testified that there was a lone agent at the initial checkpoint where Tareq and Michaele Salahi entered the White House grounds. He acknowledged that if someone from the social secretary's office had been there, the couple may have been stopped.
At many past events, there has been a White House representative present to help identify guests, Sullivan said. He added that it was decided Wednesday that that will be done in the future.
But the top Republican on the Committee Peter King was not satisfied. He accused the White House of "stonewalling" as it refused to let Social Secretary Desiree Rogers, who planned the dinner testify before the committee
He said the only way to determine what happened in the exchange between the Salahis and the gate guard November 24 was to have someone from the White House fill committee members in. "We can't do it unless we have someone from the White House having the guts to come down here and testify, instead of hiding behind a phony claim of separation of powers," King said.
But the committee's Democrat Chairman Bennie Thompson Thompson said he didn't see a reason for Rogers to testify, because the hearing was focusing on security issues.
After Sullivan's testimony, Thompson announced that he had asked staff to prepare subpoenas for the couple in an attempt to make them testify. If they continue to rebuff the oversight request, they could be found in contempt of Congress, he said.
At one point during Thursday's hearing, a staffer raised a poster-sized photo of Michaele Salahi posing with Vice President Joe Biden at the event. The Salahis were asked to appear before the committee Thursday but didn't. "Maybe they didn't show because they were on the guest list," quipped Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick.

Was wondering if anyone whose purchased this book could shed some light on the official colors
use for craftworld Biel-Tan units (whichever ones are in the book, the preview shows some Wraithguard but too small to make out). I don't have an Ipad or else I would buy this. Thank you!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by armygirl, Jan 1, 2008.
Is that because we're living on a planet where apes evolved from men?
I liked that movie though!!!! Or should I say, movies........
I agree that this debate is ridiculous but I don't think it's nauseating at all.
What was wrong with The Alternators and The Spare Parts?
Rip with another The Zoo Crew reference in the interview after the game.
Go Zoo Crew!!! Get over it, folks - GO PISTONS!!!
Solent Green is people! It's people!!!
yea, but they all went after the strawberries.
I thought Strawberry retired?
He actually said the "Zoo Squad". I'm not sure if he understands that it is supposed to rhyme.
He probably got it mixed up with the short-lived "Goon Squad" from last season.
I guess that's why Sheed is in charge of the nicknames.
Was that you with the strawberries P99 ?
Yes, that was my reference.
An old delish memory.
My reference was when Thorn (C. Heston), as NY cop, was able to gain insight to those that had fresh fruit\vegetables and surmised they came from beyond. One gal left a strawberry clue and created quite a moral issue for Thorn. It is my understanding that there is a NY Soylent Green Biscuit Company. You never know.
I've never done LSD, but I imagine it's a lot like the last few posts in this thread. Obscure, interesting, and barely comprehensible.
Yea, I had to scroll up to remind myself what thread I was in.
I like it. Combined with a stale cigarette and a Tim Hortons coffee, this is a cheap buzz.
We don't even have Hortons in Cali.

Fantastic - I would recommend this hotel!
Mahesh lakhani, CRAWLEY
We travelled in July/Aug 2013 to Orlando and stayed at Quality Suites - I have no hesitation to recommend the hotel. Ok it is basic but comfotable - very easy to get to all the attractions. Close to international drive. Free shuttle. Not an issue to raise. Reception staff were fantastic! Especially the Indian lady from West Indies - thanks - you made us soooo welcome and enjoyable. We will stay there again!
The best thing about my stay was...The staff!

Basic but cheap
Gary Doherty, Belfast
The hotel was very basic but I cant really complain cos it was cheap, Breakfast time was very busy so you had to wait on toast machine & waffle machine but it was a good complimentary breakfast. The pool was fine & no problem getting a sun lounger but it did advertise a hot/spa tub but this changed into a kids pool 3 months earlier so it was disapointing not to have it. I`ve stayed in Orlando many times & the location was good just off International drive & 1 mile to wet n wild & 2 miles to Universal, Overall this is a no frills hotel but very outdated & cleanliness was poor.

And you're making sue it stays that way.
Now, to paraphrase the words of Hulk Hogan "whatcha gonna do when JudgementDay-mania runs wild on you?
Matthew 25:31-46
The Sheep and the Goats
31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 Then the King will say to those on his right,Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
37 Then the righteous will answer him,Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?
40 The King will reply,Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
41 Then he will say to those on his left,Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.
44 They also will answer,Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?
45 He will reply,Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.
46 Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.

Yes watching someone you love and planned on spending the next 50 years with die of a tumor the size of a potato on their one remaining lung that has roots running through their heart because they smoked 3 packs a day for 40 years is no picnic.

It is distinctly unnerving, in 2010, to sit in the heart of London watching a play about US policy on Afghanistan, that posits as its central theme the tragic innocence of a CIA man. Blood and Gifts is the full-length version of a short play that the American playwright JT Rogers wrote last year for the Tricycle Theatre's The Great Game: Afghanistan. Spanning 1981 to 1991, the plot follows James "Jim" Warnock, an operative who is sent to Pakistan to find, and then covertly fund and arm, anti-Soviet Afghan fighters.
Rogers' hero hits the ground running and rarely stops to rest. We follow him as he rolls up his sleeves and works his way through one testing task, and on to the next: rebuffing the endless provocations of his overweight Soviet counterpart; appeasing the wily but short-tempered Pakistani colonel; calming the increasingly explosive MI6 representative in the region; winning the trust of the Afghan rebels for whom he will eventually secure Stinger missiles; and trying to win over his bosses back home to ensure the United States sees the operation through to the end. On top of his heavy professional responsibilities, Jim has "a wife and a life", which he sacrifices time and again in the name of duty. This is an honourable, albeit curiously naive, agent: "We're here to do what's right," he says.
To help us find our way through the fog of war, Rogers leans heavily on certain themes – trust and treachery, fatherhood and fallibility, secrecy, sacrifice and revenge – employed with simplistic universalism to link the hearts and minds of the main male characters, despite their deeply contrasting backgrounds.
Rogers, speaking to an audience at the National Theatre last Wednesday night, said he likes "to put a joke on every page", and Blood and Gifts is no exception. Despite the seriousness of the subject matter, some entertaining lines did make me crack a smile – especially those that came from the mouth of the British agent, Simon Craig ("Here's to Maggie Thatcher and her tight fucking purse strings!" he shouts. "May she be dragged from Downing Street, stripped to her skivvies, and buggered, buggered, buggered!").
However, clomping cliches litter the play, making it sometimes uncomfortably reminiscent of the 1970s comedy series, It Ain't Half Hot Mum. The Pakistani military clerk, appears to have been put on stage purely to be laughed at for his attempts to prove his knowledge of British and American culture. When his boss, the colonel, is fiddling with a revolver, the clerk nods approvingly: "Oh, very nice, very good, very John Wayne, sir!" On another occasion, he tries to flatter the colonel's use of English: "Oh, very nice, very good, very Noel Coward, sir!"
But it is the Afghan rebels who are made to look the most foolish with their passion for Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Olivia Newton-John, the Eagles and Duran Duran. When they want the lyrics explained, they turn to Jim, lending him the paternal authority with which to educate his ignorant little flock. They are stupefied to discover that the goddess "colitas", whom they have learned to adore by listening to Hotel California is, in fact, a drug.
These childish Afghans, who adore our pop songs but do not yet understand our culture of freedom: thank goodness Jim has come to save them. It's a familiar message that came out of Hollywood 22 years ago, in the form of Rambo III.
The real fool here might just be Rogers himself. He says he read "a whole slew of books" for research as well as interviewing several top US journalists and intelligence officials and Pakistan reporters, too. So where on earth did he get the impression that the mujahideen would listen to, let alone be inspired by, American pop songs? And why does his play end with the loaded statement that the elderly Afghan rebel Abdullah Khan desires not only to "cleanse" his country, but to "cross oceans" and spread Islam as far and wide as possible?
"Hopelessly wrong," is how journalist John Simpson described that twist on the BBC's Front Row on Wednesday night. "It made the basic, basic error of getting the Taliban – or mujahideen as they were at that stage – mixed up with al-Qaida."
Unprompted, Rogers told the National Theatre audience that he was tired of what he described as "all this 'white people are bad, black people are good, oh oh oh'". Could that be why he decided to write this strange apology for a white male CIA operative? Because there have been too many theatre productions promoting the view that white people are the baddies and black people the goodies? Perhaps things are different in the States, but right now, in London, that's definitely not the impression I have.

After a highly successful collaboration last summer, Bernhard Willhelm is teaming up again with Berlin-based eyewear design company Mykita to release another series of sunglasses for Spring/Summer 2011. This new model, the "Andreas," has a slightly more angular shape than the previous style and comes in a matte black or bold pink. In case you're interested, these shades can be purchased at any Mykita flagship store and at select retailers worldwide.

Well it was entertaining at times to see who was eliminated and who made it. I was glad Constantine (the rock singer) made it. So far, he has become my favorite.
The one girl who thought she was going to be eliminated and then was told she made it cracked me up! I don't remember her name, but what antics!!!! It was hilarious. Then she rushed down to her mother who was pretty much on the same level. What a pair.
I was disappointed Scott (the Clevland guy) made it. I can't stand him. I don't know what the judges see in him. I hope he gets eliminated soon. He is one strange dude!!!

Itinerary & Map
We often have multiple itineraries so please check to see which itinerary is suitable for you, by selecting the relevant tab.
A fusion of modernity and tradition, the vibrant colours of India are truly captivating. Be at one with bustling cities, surrender to the simplicity of villages and be touched by the spirituality of this land. A journey through India is enriching, inspiring and unforgettable.
Our trip starts in Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka State. Bangalore is the centre of India's high-tech industry and is also known for its green spaces. Former Royal residences include the 19th Century Bangalore Palace, which is modelled on England's Windsor Castle.
The Pride Hotel - Breakfast included
This morning we head towards Mysore through the scenic Karnataka plains. We will stop en route to have a locally made biryani lunch with our local friend Raju and his family.
Mysore is one of India's most attractive towns. Unlike some of India's biggest cities it feels quite manageable in size, and it's beautiful buildings are packed full of history. The Maharajah's Palace, the Lalitha Mahal (Summer Palace) and Shri Chamarajendra art gallery are all definitely worth a visit.
Historically the town was the capital of the mighty Maharaja kingdom of Mysore, ruled by the same family from 1399 until 1947. There was a brief period where the throne was usurped by one of the most colourful of Indian rulers, Hyder Ali and then by his famous son Tipu Sultan. Today the city is the state capital and one of the centres of the silk trade. It's well laid out with wide streets and many gardens, making it a pleasant place to wander around. It is also one of the major incense manufacturers in India - some call it "The Sandalwood City" and you will find yourself enveloped by the aromas of sandalwood, jasmine, rose and musk.
A visit to Mysore isn't complete without a look around Mysore Palace. One of the most ornate palaces in India, its interior is a riot of colour, mosaics and mirrors.Your leader will take you out to get your bearings.
Sandesh The Prince Hotel - Breakfast included
You have plenty of time to explore the surrounding countryside, so head out and climb Chamundi Hill - site of the Sri Chamundeswari Temple, which is dedicated to Goddess Durga.
This morning after breakfast we travel about an hour to the Keshava Temple in Somnathpur and then we climb Chamundi Hill which features an ancient stone stairway of 1,008 steps leading to its summit. Approximately halfway up is the statue of bull Nandi, the vahana, or "vehicle" of Lord Shiva, which is 4.9m tall and 7.6m long and carved out of a single piece of black granite.
Catch an overnight train to Chennai (approx 11 hrs). Sleeper trains are clean and air-conditioned, a great way to travel long distances and still get maximum time in each place. Beds are padded berths with sheets, pillow and blanket provided but some people prefer to bring their own sleeping sheet. Please note you may be sharing with locals in a same/mixed gender situation.
Overnight sleeper train
After alighting the train in Chennai we head along the scenic East Coast Road to Mamallapuram. Embark on a bicycle tour, visiting the World Heritage-listed 7th-century Shore Temple and the massive bas-relief rock carving known as Arjuna's Penance.
There's also time to inspect the numerous mandapams (carved pillars in front of temples), watch stone carvers at work, see the fishing fleet or simply relax at a beachside restaurant. We'll make a visit to the famous Shore Temple.
Hotel Atithi - Breakfast included
A former French colony, Pondicherry (now Puducherry) has a distinct French feel while retaining its Indian roots, making it one of India's more surprising and delightful cities. Take a walking tour and visit the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, the local temples and the old French quarter.
Hotel Atithi or similar including breakfast
This morning we continue our journey westward by train to Madurai, a city with an illustrious history. The journey usually takes around 6 hours and we should arrive at our hotel around lunch time, however road conditions on this journey may mean the time taken is longer.
Madurai is the largest of what are collectively known as 'The Temple Towns'. South India's temple architecture is very different to that of the north, but these are iconic structures in their own right. On the northern plains, temples are graced with slim sikaras (towers) whereas here in the south immense gopurams (gateways) carved with thousands of painted Hindu gods are the most striking elements of the Dravidian temples.
Meenakshi temple is no exception - inside is a maze of halls, pillared cloisters and sanctuaries - all of which seem to be decorated with a profusion of murals, carvings and inscriptions. The heady fragrance of incense is everywhere, as is the chanting of priests whose deities are garlanded with colourful flowers. Outside the temple complex the streets are no less enthralling and seem to resemble one huge bazaar with hawkers, stalls and even the occasional passing elephant! Every morning Shiva is taken from his resting place with Meenakshi to the main temple shrine and returned in the evening with great ritual.
Tonight, after an afternoon's exploration, we should have the chance to visit the Meenakshi temple to witness the daily ceremony of 'Putting Shiva to Bed'. We'll return to our hotel by cycle or auto rickshaw.
The following day is set aside for us to choose your own activities. We might choose to laze by the hotel pool, or if we're feeling more energetic, take an auto rickshaw to the impressive Thirumalai Nayak Palace. Built in Indo-Mhugal style, the Palace was restored by the British in the 19th century and retains some beautiful examples of Tamil decoration.
Alternatively we may decide to venture further afield, with a visit to Trichy. The focus of Trichy is the towering Rock Fort Temple. We make our way to the entrance and from there climb the 400 plus steps past several shrines onto a rock plateau. From the plateau there are stunning views over the city, coconut palms and paddy field patchwork of the Cauvery River plains. Back down the steps and we can make our way to the old town where the labyrinth of narrow, 18th century streets are lined with craft workshops and small textile shops.
Germanus Hotel - Breakfast Included
Periyar National Park
We cross from Tamil Nadu into Kerala and drive the five or so hours to Periyar National Park, one of the main wildlife sanctuaries of southern India and one of the countries largest. Situated in the Cardamom Hills region of the Western Ghats, the park covers 777 square kilometres, at an altitude of between 914 and 1,828m. At its centre lies a large artificial lake, built by the British in 1895 to supply water to the region around Madurai and over 15 square kilometres in area.
In 1973 the park became part of Project Tiger in an effort to save this wonderful animal from extinction. The park has a rich variety of wildlife - both mammals and birds. We would indeed be lucky to see the elusive tiger and leopard - both of which inhabit the forest, but should certainly see sambar, chital, otter, wild boar and gaur along with a rich variety of birdlife (and the odd leech!). In addition, wild elephants are often seen in the park.
We'll have some free time to relax and get used to the sounds of the wildlife in the park and we will have an interesting tour of a spice plantation and included dinner. The next day we'll continue our exploration of the park on foot in a small group; this is one of the few wildlife parks in which visitors are able to walk (minimum age for walk is 12 years old). We make regular stops to watch for elephant and gaur, as well as monkeys and birds.
Ambadi Hotel - Breakfast included
This morning after breakfast we say goodbye to Periyar and head south to Kochi for the next leg of our adventure. This is quite a travel day and the journey will take 5 to 5 1/2 hours on good roads and there are plenty of places to stop and stretch your legs before we arrive at our hotel in Kochi for the night.
Grand Hotel - Breakfast included
This morning we descend from the hills and make the three hour drive to Alleppey. Here we board a houseboat to begin a cruise through the complex system of beautiful lagoons and canals known as the 'Malabar Backwaters'. These waterways are the principal means of communication and trade for scores of homes and villages. Along the banks, at jetties and ferry stops, there's often a wonderful array of produce ready for market - sacks of cashews are piled high next to coconuts.
Overnight Boat
Trip ends
This morning transfer to Kollam railway station and catch the train to Trivandrum (2hrs). Approximately 25 minutes drive from Trivandrum lies your accommodation for the next two nights at Kovalam Beach. We're free to spend your time here lazing on the beach or by the hotel pool. Alternatively we could have a traditional ayurvedic massage, where oils extracted from plants with medicinal properties are worked into the head, arms, shoulders and back – a perfect trip end for parents. Or what about making a full day journey to the very south of India, to Kanyakumari and look south towards Antarctica! You can explore locally on foot and sometimes bikes can be found to rent out.On our last evening the Group Leader will no doubt organise a traditional 'last supper'.
Sagara Beach Reosrt - Swimming pool - Breakfast included
Departure day
The trip ends today after breakfast and you are free to arrive at any time.

The appartment is comfortable and clean. Location is excellent. Marie (the host) is very nice person.We had no any problem with our stay in Paris. Thanks!!!
This was our first trip with Wimdu and it was perfect!!
The apartment is extremely central and we only needed 3 minutes to reach everything necessary, like the metro station, the bakery and some small grocery stores and cafes. The room is exactly like on the pictures, romantic and clean and if you close the windows it gets so quiet you wouldn't even believe that you're sleeping next to one of the noisiest streets of Paris.
We also loved the hostess, Marie, a very open, extremely friendly and polite young woman who really took the time to explain everything to us.
All in all this was an amazing experience we'd love to repeat as soon as possible :)
A lovely spacious room in a fantastic central location. Easy to get to using the metro and within reasonable walking distance to most of the big sights. Marie is lovely and explained everything we needed to know. We had a fantastic time and would definitely stay again if back in Paris.
A nice studio located at the heart of Paris. Very convenient.
The host is very helpful.
beautiful studio in a perfect location. nearly to the metro. we had a good time and would come back!

Aucklanders needing a little extra motivation to go for a run up until 28 August can take on a fun new challenge devised by a leading sports drink company.
The Powerade Challenge comprises a 9km lap up and down the sea front from the Auckland Ferry Terminal to the The Royal Akarana Yacht Club and back. Enter online at powerade.co.nz/challenge, and a special bracelet is sent in the post. Hold this to a panel on the vending machine at the Ferry Terminal and it starts the clock; repeat the process at the yacht club and it registers you half way.
A final swipe when you get back adds your time to the leader board, and enters you for weekly spot prizes of free drinks and merchandise.
As extra motivation, the challenge is to try and match estimated times the All Blacks might take to go the same distance, although I confirmed before I left that none of the ABs had actually run the course.
Worth a try? I ran down there to find out. I have just started training for the Tarawera 100km Ultramarathon next March, so any training time is handy right now.
The first thing I noticed is that just having someone or something else time me, and knowing that time would be public, very in my case, did make me work harder. For a solitary runner like myself, the challenge also offered the chance to chat to other runners when I spotted their blue bracelet.
I picked up some handy hints at the start from one of the fastest females on the leader board, who happened to be waving her partner off on the run. The challenge seems to have aroused the interest of quite a few serious runners: the fastest runner as I write came home in 33 minutes and 38 seconds, with the fastest woman clocking in at 38 minutes and 42 seconds.
There were quite a lot of runners out on this sunny Saturday, and I noticed quite a few taking part in the challenge. I chuckled when I passed the billboard that sensed my approach and put "Go Andy!" up in lights, which put a bit of a spring in my step. At this point the route crosses the odd side street, which means the super-competitive will need to cool it a bit to make a safe crossing. There are no marshals out there, so you need to look after yourself.
I had been warned to keep my eyes peeled for the small knee-high sign marking the turnaround point. The vending machine on the far side of the yacht club took a few all-important seconds to register while I stood there trying not to get cold and smiling at the boaties. They probably thought I was leaning against the machine for a breather, but soon enough I was off on the return leg.
Unfortunately, a knee injury of mine flared up on my way back, with a spreading warmth and pain taking over my right leg. So I limped home in 50 minutes. That's nine minutes slower than they claim an AB prop forward can do it. I reckon I could definitely do it faster, with or without the injury, with one of them chasing me down the whole way.
A nice touch was when the machine coughed up a free drink at the finish for me, which I gulped down while stretching out on the pavement. There was no physio on hand, and nobody around to offer my excuses to, so I headed off for a kebab.

I have Perfect Red and it is absolutely beautiful. I get compliments all the time and stays for HOURS-no touch up. It's a creamy perfect red color, literally. Love it!
Nude- like but not as much as perfect red. Settles in my creases even when I moisturize & does not last as long (eating, drinking ext) but the color is really nice especially w/ a smoky eye.
I also have shocking pink, def not for everyday wear for me. But I do plan on purchasing more colors :) I recommend.

Creamy rice pudding
6oz pudding rice (or use risotto rice like arborio if cant get pudding rice)
1 litre diet sugar free cream soda (got mine in ASDA)
2 vanilla flavour muller light yogurts
1 tsp vanilla extract (if liked)
Place rice in saucepan and add the diet cream soda and bring to the boil then simmer until almost all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked and soft.

text: So i have been trying to reset my sister's MacBook Pro, as much as i hate mac, i need some help fixing this mess of a computer. I have followed countless steps to change the password of an admin account that has been left there, leaving her not able to make any changes on the PC. Firstly Command R dosen't have any response on the PC, I followed these steps: http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-without-an-installer-disc/ With the Command S technique, and did nothing up the the point of launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist Said something along the lines of "No such file" or "No such directory" then i thought, hey why not try the last technique of "Tricking your Mac into creating a new user account" Which screwed everything up, i did exactly what the steps said, now whenever i start up the mac it comes up with "Setup your server", when i obviously do not want a server to be setup. Please help me.

Saints reign after battle
IT HAD to be Nick Riewoldt. Who else? First came the towering mark to give them back the lead in the last quarter. Then the toe-poke off the ground in the goal square to give them the certainty of victory.
Last night Riewoldt did what has been expected of the best players with claims to the elite when he shouldered the burden of a preliminary final and delivered for the Saints.
St Kilda, the best team of the first 22 rounds, is now through to its first grand final since 1997 and possibly its first flag since the club's memorable day in 1966.
It was a grimly fought win, as St Kilda victories are under Ross Lyon, but it was dogged and determined and built on character. It had to be so because the Dogs made it so. The Bulldogs, seeking to make just their third grand final, fell - as ever - achingly short in the preliminary final.
The bogey that has haunted the Dogs came back again when they led for most of the game and looked the better, more composed, team for much of the night only to be over-run and outlasted by the Saints. They failed to make more of their dominance on the scoreboard when they had control of the match and paid sorely for it. They were proud and game and undeserving of the result.
In a match where just seven goals had been kicked for a half, the gift of a goal to Riewoldt from a free kick before the third quarter started was an extraordinarily harsh penalty almost irrespective of the infringement detected. When that ''infringement'' was an innocuous bump that warranted no sterner treatment than a dismissive caution from the umpire it was an almost inexcusably bad decision.
It undeniably helped swing momentum to St Kilda who, with the consequent goal, trailed by just a point. The Saints were suddenly alive in a way they had not been before the major break. They began winning clearances more readily and finding space to spread and run.
Justin Koschitzke centred a pass to Sam Fisher on the 50-metre arc and at the 10-minute mark of the third term the Saints hit the front for the first time in the match.
Having been closed down and uncertain in the first half the Saints found their range and momentum in the third term. Fisher was freed up behind the ball and it had profound impact up the ground.
Nick Dal Santo had 12 touches in the third term and was crucial to the rally. Most notably when he gathered at the centre bounce after the Fisher goal, bounced off his opponent, kept his feet and handballed to Goddard who speared a long, flat kick to Riewoldt. The Saints had kicked four goals in a row and were charging.
They were out to an 11-point lead and had finally found their rhythm. But the Dogs were sticking to their plans. Brad Johnson squeezed one goal from a ball-up before the Bulldogs found their way through a St Kilda flood. Bob Murphy gave to Daniel Giansiracusa who kicked a lovely snap goal off his left boot.
It gave the Western Bulldogs back the lead and, importantly, broke a pattern of the Dogs blindly bombing the ball forward. With the Bulldogs trying to soak up time for the third-quarter siren the Saints cleverly found a break and got the ball sharply forward. The ball came to ground in a marking contest and Ryan Hargrave hesitated while Brendon Goddard dived headlong at the ball and flipped it out to Stephen Milne, hitherto unseen, who curled in a goal. The Saints had the lead again at the last change.
In the first half the Bulldogs had played the disciplined game of a side that arrived with a plan, but more importantly a frame of mind. They set about their task and were empowered by the moment, not at all inhibited by it. Contrastingly St Kilda was nervous and jittery, having won virtually everything for the year, all they could do from here was lose and thus they played with unusual tentativeness and uncertainty.
Too many players that the Saints rely on to be their best carriers and users of the ball were clumsy and awkward - Jason Gram, Raph Clarke and Farren Ray all patchy.
The Dogs surged through the first term and deserved to be five goals up at quarter-time. That they were only two goals ahead despite their dominance of field-play threatened to be game defining. They had kept the Saints not only goalless for the first term, but almost unable to penetrate their forward 50. The Saints could manage only eight inside 50s to the Dogs' 16 and looked erratic and purposeless when they did go in.
Without run from behind the ball St Kilda was impotent through the middle of the ground. One of Riewoldt or Koschitzke was forced to go hunting the ball deep on the wings and into defence, which meant the Dogs defenders were double-teaming the stay-at-home forward.
Critical to the Dogs' early dominance was that Dale Morris was outstanding on Riewoldt.
Playing him from five to 10 metres in front and seeking to cut off Riewoldt's lead, Morris' ploy worked as the Saints played into his hands with shallow kicks that asked Riewoldt to come at the play rather than punting it long for the captain to run onto.
GOALS St Kilda: Riewoldt 4, Hayes, Fisher, Dal Santo, McQualter, Milne. Western Bulldogs: Johnson 2, Hahn 2, Higgins, Giansiracusa, Picken.

TURNING POINT In a low-scoring game there were several edge-of-the-seat lead changes in the second half, but the result hung in the balance until the dying stages. After a gripping, see-sawing battle with Dale Morris for most of the night, St Kilda star Nick Riewoldt put the finishing touches on a superb performance, kicking his fourth goal to put his side ahead by seven points.
Dale Morris/Nick Riewoldt: Morris limited Riewoldt's opportunities and frustrated the Saints skipper by denying him space in the first half. Riewoldt kicked two goals early in the third term and got on top as the Saints lifted their intensity. When the Dogs led 17 minutes into the last term, Riewoldt floated across the front of a pack, marked and goaled to put his side ahead by two points. When the game was still up for grabs with almost 28 minutes gone in the last quarter, it was Riewoldt again who goaled to put his side seven points in front and into the grand final.
Brian Lake/Justin Koschitzke: Lake's All-Australian jumper came on the back of a superb year from the Bulldogs defender. Last night he provided more evidence why he's so highly rated with a strong performance, but foolishly conceded a free kick at the start of the third term that led to a goal. In the opening half Lake had the better of Justin Koschitzke, keeping the big Saint goalless and having 11 disposals himself. Koschitzke marked nine minutes into the crucial third term and found Sam Fisher in space, who goaled to put the Saints in front for the first time. Lake ended the night with 18 disposals and seven marks, but it's Koschitzke who lives to fight another day.
Brad Johnson/Zac Dawson, Sam Gilbert: The Bulldogs skipper ran around without an opponent for most of the first quarter before Dawson began shadowing the veteran forward. Dawson slipped forward at several stages during the game and Johnson also worked up the ground and spent time on the wing. Johnson had 14 touches and four marks by half-time, but didn't kick a goal until the third term. In the last quarter when the Dogs trailed, Johnson took a strong contested mark against Gilbert close to goal, before playing on and kicking his second major.
Adam Cooney/Clint Jones: Jones was one of St Kilda's few winners in the first half and used the ball well compared to most of his teammates, who were under immense pressure and fumbled at key moments. In his 49th game, Jones had an enormous task ahead of him trying to limit last year's Brownlow medallist, but acquitted himself well and had 12 touches by half-time, including five contested possessions. Cooney had just three touches in the first quarter as his side pulled out to a 15-point lead, but had more impact as the match unfolded. Jones' long, clearing kick late in the final term from half-back led to the goal that sealed the result.
