These questions can be answered by looking
at the help for -varlist-.
My guess is that you would find it useful to work
through one or more introductions to Stata
to pick up various basics. Alternatively, read
the early chapters of [U] carefully.

Gore Mountain, NY: 12/18/11
Ski Day 5: After our Thanksgiving ski weekend, Zelda gave me some sobering news — our odds for returning to Adirondacks before Christmas were slim. Indeed, our December weekends were packed with events, but closer scrutiny on my part led to the discovery that it was really only Saturdays that were jammed up. So I pledged to be the man on each Saturday this month in exchange for the freedom to disappear before dawn on Sundays to daytrip the Catskills.
As I watched another ugly midweek weather event sweep across the northeast last week, I noted that the coldest air of the season was to be ushered in behind the front. Temps were forecast to be near zero in the Adirondacks, so I considered a novel idea: daytripping Gore.
It wasn't really a day trip. After cheering for an inspiring performance of The Nutcracker, and then celebrating a Taekwondo birthday, I bid goodbye to my girls and drove to the mountains Saturday night. As predicted, a clear night delivered overnight temps close to zero.
I arrived at the mountain as the groomers were finishing up. It was a beautiful cold day and it felt like winter. From the gondola, I could see that coverage looked good. Everything open was covered wall-to-wall three days after a significant rain event. Snowmaking was taking place on Sleighride, Wild Air, Showcase and Topridge.
Although I started the day alone, I had no problems finding skiers I knew. I made runs with Steve and Pam, MattChuck, Zach and his gang, Suds and PowderRun Doug.
After the rope dropped on Bear Mountain, Topridge was the place to be. Snowmaking was top-to-bottom and big soft bumps developed. I lapped it all morning, sticking to the gun side on skier's right.
In my mind, there's no denying the effectiveness of the new HKD high-efficiency snow guns. Gore now has the capability to run 100 guns simultaneously, which allows mountain ops to work on adding new terrain while providing steep expert skiing under the guns.
At this point, we're all rooting for what the entire northeastern ski industry desperately needs — consistent cold temps leading up to Christmas and some natural snow from the heavens.

>nice way to work out the dad thing and get in a day on the hill. One ski day is better than no than no ski days.
thank god i had a boy – a steady diet of ballet would drive me bonkers
>Looks like you picked the better of the two days. I was there Saturday and Topridge was pretty firm and fast in a lot of spots. I'm sure the added snowmaking on it helped a lot. I've been dying to ski bumps.
>Man, Gore looks pretty cool up close. I don't suppose there's much skiing in those trees, right?
>^Are you saying you've never skied Gore? It's a lot cooler in person and when there's snow. Certainly no tree skiing right now, but Gore actually has TONS of awesome tree runs.
>If you look at the last picture in the post, I'd say almost all what you are seeing is skiable and skied regularly. And what's pictured is only a small percentage of the total terrain. I haven't skied (anything close to) all the mountains in the state, but I find it hard to imagine another NY mountain with more gladed acreage. And just as important IMO, there's a culture of tree skiing at Gore.
>You reminded me of my son. He loves to ski also. The mountains were great.
>They were blowing snow 24/7 on the little tubing hill across the street from the Ski Bowl Cafe. You can only hope they were doing the same thing up on Gore.

After completing Ashley's mission Coming Down, Jim will give you a call and say that his contact who sells bikes to Japan has some more work for Johnny. You can get new jobs from his contact by choosing Angus in your phonebook, and selecting "Job."
These jobs will be more like Brucie's Exotic Exports than Stevie's Car Thefts because once you get dealt a new job, the location of the bike will automatically appear on your GPS. You won't be required to go searching around the city for a specific vehicle.
The bike thefts are a great way to make easy money, as you'll be paid for each one. It's best to do as little damage as possible while jacking the bike so that you don't make the it immobile. If you gained a wanted level while stealing the bike, you'll have to shake the police before proceeding.
When you're free of a wanted level, The Lost clubhouse will appear on your GPS, and you simply have to drop the bike off in the garage to complete the job.

STOP EVERYTHING! This Beautiful Man is Alone in Dublin
Right, how many pubs are there in Dublin, and how long will it take us to search them all?
They're not playing their sold-out Marlay Park gig until this Friday, but it looks as though the lovely men from Kings of Leon decided to drop by early and take advantage of some famous Irish hospitality.
We have a little soft spot for Jared Followill around these parts (have you seen him?) and right now our tender hearts are breaking with the thought that he might be lonely in the capital.
The singer just took to Twitter to share the news that he's drinking in an empty bar in Dublin. He followed the post with an Instagram snap of his Guinness. We can't tell much about the venue from the picture, but all we're saying right now is... Challenge Accepted.
At a completely empty bar in Dublin. Having a Guinness. Not too many French or Nigerian people in town, I presume.

Class D/T DIY power amp on a budget!
Hello all,
I'm currently enjoying my music through a Trends Audio TA-10 (actually halfway between 10 and 10.1) that replaced my NAD C350 a while ago but, as stated by many before, the Tripath TA2024 falls victim to it's own virtues...
I get excited by it's performance, turn the pot a bit more to the right to get a few more dBs and then I'm (kindly, to be fair) reminded by the little Trends amp that you that you can't get many of those when using an 8Watt amplifier to power 88dB,6Ù speakers (Quad 21L)...
Too bad, since I think the Quads and the Tripath make a perfect match, sound-wise.
I'll be soon getting a passive pre-amp (nothing fancy, just a blue alps pot and a choice of 4 inputs + 2 pre-outs) to use with the Trends amp but then it hit me:
Why not sell the NAD that is just collecting dust and invest the money on a DIY power amp?!
To cut things short, I'm looking for a Class D/T power amp, at 100+ Watts and my budget is around 300-350 Euros.
The choices I'm considering are Truepath (or some other high power Tripath chip from 41hz), UcD 180 (the Standard modules, unfortunately the new HG ones are out of budget for me) and Coldamp.
And the...350 euro question is:
- Which one should I go for?!
Thing is, I don't have the budget to buy one of each and try it out and there is only one guy I know that is currently making a UcD based amp so I'll probably have a chance to get a taste of the Hypex sound. I know the Tripath sound based solely on my experience of TA2024 and there is no way I can try Coldamp modules without buying them.
I have a couple of weeks to figure it out before I start this power amp project so I thought I'd get some opinions from you guys. This forum is my only means of contacting people that have heard more than one of these types of modules.
I should note that there is a chance I get my hands on some ICEpower 1000ASP based amps, but I can't count on it at the moment!
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

With that budget and power requirements I'd buy a Home Hi-Fi pack from Coldamp (1 SPS30 + 2 Bp4078). The price is 340 euro and you get a good 200W/ch at 4 ohm. I have personally tried only SPS30, but I think SPS30 is very much the same with a bit less power capability (400W is stated):

Thank you Pierre.
I think you mean you have tried SPS80?
The Coldamp modules seem like a good deal and you get lots of power for the money. The same can be said for Tripath chips as well (though the choice of power supply is not as hassle free as with the coldamps). Hypex modules are a bit off budget for me but I can stretch up to say 400 euros if it's worth it).
What puts me off with Coldamp modules, to be 100% honest, is that unlike Tripath and UcD I have no chance to listen to such an implementation before purchase (from a friend or something). I also can't keep thinking that while there are commercial implementations of Tripath chips (Audio Research, Bel Canto etc.) and UcD (Kharma, Meridian etc.) with good reviews, I haven't come accross any using Coldamp. Also, here in our class-D lair, there have been quite a few comparisons of Tripath VS. UcD but I haven't come across a thorough test of Coldamp quality VS. the other modules.
I should not that my main goal is not to get loads of power but to get something that will drive my speakers with ease while maintaining the sound quality I get with my TA2024 (plus the bonus of better dynamics etc that more watts will bring along) and improve on it IF possible - but not necessarily as I'm quite happy with it on the "sound quality front".
Since my passive pre/control thing has two pre-outs I can even try biamping (like try to use two AMP5 modules which should still be withing budget) but I think Truepath is ahead of other 41hz kits quality wise so it's a safer choice but the damn thing can't be bridged!

We have a customer satisfaction policy at Coldamp that allows you to return the modules if you are not happy with them within 30 days, getting a total refund of the money (except shipping costs).
There are not too many reviews out there because we have been selling them for 1.5 years only. But we have professional users like classic music concert hall and studio installers, so if they are not deceived with the sound quality, it is likely that you like them too.

Thank you for the info, Sergio.
Good to know!
Off topic, but hope you still make those nice multi-channel amps with custom made rack cases.
I've got a friend who's designing and installing Home-Theater stuff for his clients and he's very interested in getting his hands on ready made amps like those you posted on an older thread. Already told him to contact you through your website.

As Pierre pointed out this tread may be interrelated to this tread:
Hypex/Coldamp vs. TAG McLaren Power Amp
In my today post I refer to a Norwegian review of the Coldamp modules. Three members of the Oslo Audio society share their impressions, and briefly; while not the very best amps they have heard, they are still absolutely fantastic value and very good in an absolute sense! Some more translation please! As I use to go fly fishing for salmon in the north of Norway, and then probably only understand about 80% of what the native people say to me I should not pretend to be a translator!
Without wonderment,no life.

Thanks for the link.
This article was discussed somewhere in this forum.
Curiously, one of the reviewers stated that the amplifiers seemed to lack some holographic image. However, IMHO that has more to do with the source, placement of the speakers or room accoustics than with the amplifiers themselves, specially when the amps under test had totally separated stereo channels (they are monoblocks) so crosstalk (the only thing I can think about that could degrade imaging) is optimal...
Perhaps it was only a subjective impression of the listener ¿?.

trends vs nad c350
I have have a nad c350 at the moment and Im looking for something better to drive my proac tablette ref 8 sigs. I have owned a few T-amps in the past and I have a cheap lapai 2020 at the moment but I dont think it is as good as the C350 and when it come to power there is no comparison. theres no doubt the t-amps are great value for money but the 12V ones seem to be very underpowered for more realistic sound levels.
as you have owned the trends and the nad c350 I was just wondering what your opinion is between the two?

Hey there!
Wow! Didn't even remember I had opened this thread...
To answer your question, I sold the NAD C350 simply because I found the Trends to be so much better. Everyone that heard the two amps side-by-side agreed there was no comparison..
That, of course, excludes the areas or/and listening levels where NAD's higher power really made a difference (drive, bass etc).
Since then I've built a 41Hz Truepath amp; which, by the way, cost me double the budget I had "set" in this thread, but was worth every penny of it.
I'm now enjoying the "MkII" phase of it, with various changes/upgrades over the stock amp.

American dollar was rising to new maximums of this year today, to 81.74, largely due to the weakening of European currencies, after the release of negative statistics for the euro area. It was followed by a correction to 81.60. Immediately on reaching new levels. However, the positive dynamics continues and, at the opening session of the US it's more than 0.15%.
Stock trading opened quite calm. DJIA index adds about 0.02% and the S & P500 - 0.05%.
Closer to 22-00 UT, data on last month budget execution for the United States is expected.
Strengthening of the dollar in the foreign exchange market is different. For example, EUR / USD pair fell again to 1.3335 support area but then grew to around 1.3360. Currency pair USD / CHF tested the 0.9100 figure and then collapsed in the support area of 0.9080. GBP / USD pair is trying to find a bottom and begin corrective recovery. Indeed, the proximity of 1.6730 support can give reason to a reduction in short positions of players. Bulls did not punch resistance 102.40 : day consolidation ended just below depreciation of the currency pair to 102.10 support.

Consumers Complain, but Keep on Spending
U.S. consumers' moods may have dampened, according to recent surveys, but that doesn't appear to have made a significant impact on their spending. According to a government report released Aug. 31, personal consumption expenditures (PCE) jumped 0.8% in July. The other headline figure in the report showed a 0.5% rise in personal income for the month.
These monthly gains were in line with economists' expectations. Neither June's original 0.4% PCE increase nor the 0.6% income gains were revised, though the underlying "real" trajectory (i.e., adjusted for inflation) entering the third quarter was bumped up.
Elsewhere in the report, consumption of durable goods jumped 1.6%, nondurables rose 1.0%, and services increased 0.6%. The report's inflation component, the PCE price index, rose 0.3% and the core index (excluding food and energy) rose 0.1%, which left the year-over-year figures showing respective gains of 3.4% and 2.4%. This left real consumption rising 0.5%.
The solid income and consumption figures through July continue to buck forecasts of a broad slowdown in the U.S. economy, though a modest softening in growth remains a "best guess". We at Action Economics have bumped up our third quarter real consumption growth forecast to 3.8%, and our gross domestic product estimate for the quarter to 3.2%.
Note that our fourth-quarter over fourth-quarter real GDP estimate for 2006 is 3.7%, which is exactly equal to the average GDP gain over the last 13 quarters. Though we think the economy is indeed posting a modest slowdown, the pullback only looks dramatic when compared with the outsized 5.7% GDP surge in the first quarter.
Similar to the GDP report, the data also revealed notable upward revisions to first-quarter income. These revisions, combined with the upward bumps to the income data a few months ago, leave a combined set of upward adjustments that are similar to those seen last year, and right in line with what we warned would happen as we transitioned from the first quarter to the second—though the release of these revisions was a bit late in coming.
A second year of record bonus payments and solid underlying growth in production through the period boosted income by more than was appreciated at the time. And it drove the big tax receipt figures, that remain robust through the most recent reports. Corporate profits are also soaring at an even more impressive rate, but the mix between corporate and personal income growth is now proving a bit less divergent.
One other noteworthy component of the July report: The savings rate decreased to -0.9%, vs. -0.7% in the prior month. The steady and unwavering downtrend in the personal savings rate through July should be of particular note to economists, who persist in assuming that this rate will quickly rebound over the near term. This constant downtrend, aside from the hurricane-led distortions last August and September, has proven impervious to the trials and tribulations of the various consumer confidence surveys.
Though the surveys have noted monthly ups and downs in consumer emotions, the savings rate has shown that actual spending is painfully insensitive to the current events that have driven news headlines through this expansion. We see little reason the robust gain in confidence measures in July, and the bigger than expected plunge in August, will prove any different.

Regret–What a Waste
May 31, 2012 by Leave a Comment
There's nothing like a college reunion to raise a slew of emotions—and for me, amidst much joy, laughter and celebration, lay the bittersweet taint of regret.Last week, I took my daughter on our first college tour, and attended a reunion celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Northwestern University Graduate Christian Fellowship. And while I enjoyed every bit of the whole process (other than developing some weird tendonitis on the top of my right foot from walking so much), regret inserted … [Read more...]

You may remember a post I wrote a few weeks a go about using Shakespeare in class. Well seeing as it's pantomime season right now, here's a rather comical Romeo & Juliet script and presentation with notes.
It's a half an hour lesson (based on Act 3, Scene 5) and as well as
being part of my ongoing fight against philistinism, this skit is
relevant to students' lives. It's challenging, active, and gets them
thinking. The dialogue was created by my students and I hope you have
as much fun with it as we did.

Ritter Sport Chocolates
2 Recommendations
saltimbanca's recommendation
Incredibly smooth, luscious imported chocolate that fits my meager American college student budget. Plus, it's readily available at World Market and Trader Joe's. I especially love the Dark Chocolate with Hazelnuts. Equally fantastic is my brother's pick, the impossibly creamy Milk Chocolate with Coconut.
loft3's recommendation
I'm a big fan of European chocolate and Ritter SPORT is a great choice. Try not to think about the odd name - underneath the wrapper is absolutely delicious silky chocolate loaded with your choice of goodies. You can get these from many international foods stores as well as some national chains like Cost Plus World Market.

Johnson responded to the Roane County News' public records request by letter.
An Eastern Kentucky earthquake Saturday rattled residents in Roane County.
The 4.3-magnitude quake which started near Whitesburg, Ky., was felt in various degrees throughout East Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina and other states.
Sandra and Walter Calbaugh of Kingston both experienced the unnerving incident.
"It shook the curio cabinet and shook around pretty good," Walter said. "There was no trouble telling what it was. There was no doubt."
A registered sex offender from California was indicted by the Roane County grand jury last month.
Danny Lane King, 64, was booked into the Roane County Jail on Friday. He is charged with statutory rape by an authority figure, a Class C felony.
The alleged crime occurred in 2011. The grand jury indicted King on Oct. 15.
King, who has a Sacramento address, is scheduled to make a court appearance on Friday.

Lloyd Edwards was among many whose ties with the course extend way back.
"I started caddying back in 1942," Edwards said. "That was when I started playing."
Soon soft strains of holiday music will fill Knoxville's McGhee Tyson Airport.
Among them will be the voices of children in the Midtown Elementary School Choir, who will sing from 10:30 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 4.
The choir, in its second year, is excited about the opportunity to play for strangers, although members have sung for residents of an assisted-living facility and more recently, for the school's Veterans' Day program.
Student Sara Gunter looks at it this way: "I like to meet new people every day."
Officials from Oak Ridge, Roane County, Anderson County and the Tennessee Department of Transportation gathered Tuesday afternoon to dedicate the completion of the final phase of Hwy. 95 widening project.
The project, which widened nearly 3 miles of two-lane highway to a four lanes, was 12 years in the planning stages but took just two years to complete once the construction phase began.
The $15 million project also included two retaining walls, two bridges and wide shoulders for bicycles.

The building later housed the American Temperance University.
I love science!
That is the enthusiastic cry of one of the Rockwood Middle School sixth-grade students in Cassandra Dothard's class.
They are learning life science, thanks to hands on materials from what has been termed "lab-in-a-box," a project of Rural Communities STEM Initiative, an Oak Ridge business and education partnership to help the school districts improve science, technology, engineering and math skills in the area K-12 students.
Some have accused Roane County Executive Ron Woody of cutting funding for education.
Data from the state, however, shows the percentage of local funds going to Roane County Schools has gone up since he's been in office.
"People say a lot of stuff," Woody said. "It doesn't mean they have the facts to support it. I think the evidence is in the reports."
Is the Michael Dunn Center in the way of future retail development along Gallaher Road?
Some county officials think so, according to President and CEO Mike McElhinney.
"Members of the County Commission have said we don't want to see Michael Dunn Center basically in our way if a venture, a Target or some other commercial development would begin along Gallaher Road," McElhinney told the Roane County Board of Education last month.

Jordanne Scott Earns National Honor
Jan. 3, 2013
CINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati senior outside hitter Jordanne Scott (Lawrence North) has been named to COBRA Magazine's All-National first team.
It marks the second consecutive year the senior has been selected for All-National first team after garnering second team accolades in both 2009 and 2010.
Scott, a unanimous All-BIG EAST first team selection, led the team and ranked second in the conference with 517 kills and a 4.41 kills/set average. She finished second on the team with 228 digs and fourth with 65 blocks. Scott recorded eight double-doubles on the year, including four straight between Nov. 4 and Nov. 16. She hit a career-high 30 kills in the first round of the BIG EAST Championship, ranking second in the conference tournament record book.
She was named the BIG EAST Player of the Week on Oct. 15 and was a two-time BIG EAST honor roll recipient.
COBRA is a magazine that features African American, Samoan, Tongan and Afro-Caribbean volleyball players in hopes of inspiring younger players from those ethnic groups to play volleyball and become successful women on and off the court.
A total of 16 players were named to the All-National first team, including two from the BIG EAST.

After Win95, What Do You Do For An Encore?Kathy Rebello
Patty Stonesifer has just moved into her digs at "Redmond West," the new campus for Microsoft Corp.'s ballooning consumer group, located a mile and a half from the software giant's headquarters sprawl. The walls are still bare. A clock sits conspicuously on the windowsill--a reminder of her breakneck schedule. Only a vase of long-stemmed red roses hints at another side to Stonesifer's manifestly Type A personality. Or maybe not. The roses bear a recurring message from her husband: "Stop and smell the roses."
Maybe later. Now is the eve of the all-important Christmas selling season, when 60% of consumer software is sold. Stonesifer, senior vice-president of Microsoft's consumer division, is about to unleash the software maker's second big campaign to capture the minds and dollars of home-PC owners. Just as the hubbub over Windows 95 is dying down, Stonesifer's division is preparing nearly 20 new consumer software programs to give PC owners something to play on those Win95 systems--everything from 3D Movie Maker, which lets kids play director, to Microsoft's first shoot-em-up game, Fury3. The group also has new hardware, including a big, egg-like trackball for kids, called EasyBall, and a precision joystick, Side Winder.
"SO MUCH UPSIDE." Stonesifer's division is also diving deeper into cyberspace. It just launched CarSource, an online buyers' guide, on the Microsoft Network and the Internet, and three of its new software titles will have online links to fetch updates. Says analyst John Girton of Van Kasper & Co.: "Microsoft is a force to be reckoned with in consumer multimedia."
No argument there. In just three years, the consumer div. has swelled to more than 800 employees and is expected to end the year with revenues of $800 million, nearly double those of last year. While that's less than 10% of Microsoft's overall business today, the consumer market is a key growth engine. Why? The corporate PC market--Microsoft's traditional stronghold--is slowing to 10% annual growth, while the home market is surging by 30% a year. Says Chairman William H. Gates III: "The consumer business just has so much upside."
Until Gates tapped Stonesifer to exploit that opportunity, Microsoft was a success, albeit a minor one, in consumer software without really trying. Microsoft Works and Publisher sold well to the home-office crowd, and Flight Simulator, introduced in 1982, has been a perennial favorite--now owned by 2 million cyber-aces. But in 1993, a year after the consumer div. was formed, sales of home software and games amounted to only $251 million a year, says market researcher Dataquest Inc. In 1995, it predicts the consumer div. will be the largest multimedia software outfit in the U.S., leapfrogging Acclaim Entertainment Inc. and Electronic Arts Inc. (table). With its hardware sales thrown in--revenue from keyboards, mice, and joysticks are expected to hit nearly $250 million--the division is on its way to becoming a billion-dollar baby.
Stonesifer, 39, is not your typical Microsoftie, and that may have a lot to do with the division's success. A former editor-in-chief of Que, a computer book publisher, she spent most of her career in publishing until joining Microsoft in 1988 as senior manager of Microsoft Press. In 1990, she impressed Gates at a management meeting and her big break came. Within three weeks she was the head of Microsoft Canada.
In 1991, Gates summoned her again--this time to fix Microsoft's support center, where customers were waiting on help lines for up to 20 minutes. Two years later, under Stonesifer's watchful eye, the wait was under 60 seconds--at least, until Windows 95 arrived in August and blew the averages. "Patty is a strong leader," says Gates. "She's very crisp in how she figures things out."
Take the consumer div. She took over the unit in the summer of 1993 when it had but 25 products and was a distant No.4 in consumer software. Today, there are nearly three times that many products and she is closing in on No.1. Stonesifer quickly realized she would have to do things differently. "Bill really encouraged me to make sure we didn't just replicate Microsoft," she says. That helped shape her conception of the new Redmond West facility, where there's lots of shared space for a more free-form atmosphere. Without opportunities for casual collaboration, says Stonesifer, "It's not always easy to find that next great idea." Stonesifer also established a unique brand--Microsoft Home--and restructured around markets (Kids, Productivity, Entertainment, and Information), replacing units organized around technologies, such as multimedia.
A top objective was to move beyond the traditional Microsoft mindset so the unit could match other software companies--particularly makers of computer games--in creativity and entertainment value. To this day, the division's top sellers remain productivity programs such as Works and reference titles such as Cinemania. The sole Microsoft CD on software tracker PC Data's top 20 for the first half of this year was Encarta, a stylish electronic encyclopedia.
That's why rivals aren't too worried. By virtue of its size, Microsoft is a major competitor, says Kenneth F. Goldstein, publisher of education and entertainment products for Broderbund Software Inc., which publishes hits such as Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? and Myst. But when it comes to creativity, he says, "Our titles are better, more inspiring, fresher."
MISFIRES. Rivals are also happy to note Microsoft's consumer software setbacks. Bob, a heavily promoted whimsical interface to help newbies navigate their PCs, has not been a hot seller. Likewise, Microsoft Money was such a poor seller that Gates attempted to buy Intuit Inc., which produces the leading personal-finance package, Quicken. Gates dropped the bid rather than wait out an antitrust investigation. The Money team went back to work, and today an improved version of the program is getting raves.
Another dud: Microsoft Baseball, which had the misfortune to be born during the 1994 season, just when the baseball players' strike was alienating ball fans. In games--the hardcore heart of multimedia--Microsoft remained a lowly No.7 in the first half of the year, according to PC Data.
Microsoft, never a slouch at marketing, has one quick fix: a giant pre-holiday price cut. As of Oct. 1, Microsoft's 50-odd consumer titles, which had been priced at a premium, have been scaled back to match or, in some cases, undercut the market. Now, more than 30 Microsoft programs cost less than $50; some are selling for $30.
Stonesifer is working hard to give her division the needed creative talent. She has hired from places such as Disney, Paramount, Lucas, Sony Films, Sega, and Blockbuster Entertainment, and the preliminary results will be visible this Christmas. Fury3, a space-age action program, makes you the pilot--dipping, spinning, and battling enemies to save planets from destruction. Microsoft is counting on Fury3 to establish its credentials with serious gamers, and early reviews give it a thumbs-up.
On the kids side, there are two promising new titles. One is an addition to the popular Scholastic's Magic School Bus series: Explores the Ocean. Wacky science teacher Ms. Frizzle again takes kids on an educational romp, this time through a 3-D sea of giant kelp. And then there is the real grabber: 3D Movie Maker. Kids can compose animated stories by selecting from a cast of 40 actors that can be seen from 30 different camera angles. It has Gates jazzed: "Of all Microsoft's products I've seen in the last year, whoooa!"
Today there are 75 people in the consumer div. working on at least 10 games, everything from action adventures to espionage thrillers. To increase the odds of creating the next big hit, Microsoft is operating like a Hollywood studio: financing, producing, and marketing titles that are cooked up by independents. Some 90% of Microsoft's games are in the hands of outside developers, such as Larry Holland, who designed the hit Tie Fighter game for LucasArts. Magic School Bus programs have been developed by New York-based software maker Music Pen Inc. in conjunction with Scholastic Inc., publisher of the book series.
Of course Microsoft still counts heavily on technology to make all this creativity come to life. It is spending an estimated $10 million to build a 20,000-square-foot production facility that George Lucas would admire. This "digital backlot" will have suites for synching sound, a recording studio, video editing suites, and a digital imaging lab to transform analog material into digital. "I heard before I came here it was a stodgy place," says Larry Frame, a former Paramount executive who joined Microsoft eight months ago as manager of the digital backlot. "But Microsoft has a commitment to creativity, and this facility is proof of it."
The company is eyeing a 50,000-square foot facility in Redmond for a film and sound stage. And then there's the "Blender," set up earlier this year. There, a blend of artistic and technical talent--industrial designers, an illustrator, film director, photographer, and user-interface expert--dream up ideas for interactive TV. They also test multimedia programming on different types of hardware. Says Charlotte Guyman, general manager of the Kids & Games Business unit (dubbed KGB): "This is so we can be smart across media: CD-ROM, online, and NBT--the Next Big Thing."
The Next Big Thing could be putting more consumer programs in cyberspace. CarSource is just the beginning. Nearly every group in the consumer div. is looking into how their titles would play on Microsoft Network or the Internet. Reference works with oodles of information--Encarta Encyclopedia 96, Cinemania 96, and Music Central 96--will tap into the Internet and MSN this Christmas, letting Cinemania owners get fresh movie reviews, for example.
HOLLYWOOD BOUND. Next year, Microsoft plans to launch half a dozen online-only products. In two or three years, the company expects only 70% to 80% of its consumer programs will be on CD-ROM. Says Melinda French, general manager of the information business unit and Gates' wife of nearly two years: "Everyone in my group knows the future is online."
Another potential big deal: DreamWorks Interactive, the joint venture between Microsoft and DreamWorks SKG, the startup run by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen. The joint venture has 33 employees working on a dozen games and kids' titles. Executives will only say that they are emphasizing storytelling and will probably use characters from DreamWorks movies. Stonesifer negotiated Microsoft's deal with DreamWorks and is now acting CEO of DreamWorks Interactive. "Patty is that rare breed of executive that can be incredibly focused, decisive, commanding, and compelling--and genuinely have a good laugh along the way," says Katzenberg.
For every story of Stonesifer's relentless drive--she works 12-hour days and answers e-mail on weekends--there's another about her humor and her self-effacing style. Subordinates tell about a tense meeting when she and Gates announced that, because of the Intuit bid, the Money program would be given to rival Novell Inc. After delivering a rousing speech to employees, Stonesifer and one of her executives charged out the door--the door to a closet. Stonesifer laughed so hard she cried as she backed out. Today, she tells that story in management meetings to teach "survival skills." Says Stonesifer dryly: "Nobody's leadership is perfect at any given moment." Perfect or not, this is her moment.

Nasi Goreng
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 onion, diced (I used the other half to crispify)
3 cloves garlic
3 tbsp red pepper, finely diced
olive oil
1 tbsp tamarind
hot water
3 tsp soy sauce
1-2 tsp honey
2 tsp curry powder
salt and pepper
Soften the tamarind in some hot water, just enough to cover. Be sure to pick out any pits that may still be in there. If you don't have tamarind, I've also made it with dates although, being a tad sweeter, you may want to decrease the honey. Drain off the water, reserving it. Add the tamarind, soy sauce, 1 tsp honey, and curry powder to a small chopper, blender or food pro and process til smooth, using the reserved water to make a think sauce. Now taste that sauce to make sure it's your thang. Your curry may be sweeter/hotter/bitter than mine so add more honey or soy sauce to balance it out.
Heat up some oil in a frying pan and get those onions cooking. When they start to brown, throw in the garlic and peppers. I've also been known to throw in some thinly sliced cabbage. Add in the rice and sauce and fry til heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Now fry an egg sunny side up and jam that thing on top. I added some crispy fried onions but it's also killer with fresh diced tomatoes, cucumber, raisons, or some toasted almonds.
So when you can't decide what to have for dinner, do the only logical thing. Put an egg on it.

The monumental "Time Warp" presents Carl Beam's complex vision of the world as a panoramic cultural mindscape. A contemporary artist and philosopher of both Anishnaabe and French-Canadian heritage, Beam was uniquely positioned to reflect on both the incongruities and similarities within indigenous and Western thought. The immense scale of "Time Warp" emulates the span of time and world views it encompasses as Beam folds past, present, and future into the painting's conceptual space. Images hang on the surface and recede into the depths - the skeletal anatomy of a horse, staring faces from archival photographs, areas of energetic painting, enigmatic passages of text, and recurring images - all compete for the eye of the viewer. There are multiple possible points of entry into this work's ambitious intellectual, pictorial, and textual topography.

Strava for iOS and Android: Gold Medal App or a Bust?Kevin C. Tofel
As a daily runner, I use mobile tech to track my exercise so I can learn more about what training methods are working compared with those that aren't. Strava is the mobile application I'm currently testing: The free software was first available for iOS and more recently was launched for Android phones. How well does it work?
Overall, the Strava app is great for mapping your running routes through the GPS in your mobile phone. I have found the GPS to be very accurate and quick to get a satellite signal. During a run, however, the information available to you is somewhat limited. You get the elapsed time, distance, and average pace, which are great, but they're the bare minimum, if you use iOS or Android.
Missing on the iOS version are any type of audio cues to your pace or distance, for example, something I rely heavily on during my training. And I may be nitpicking, but the distance field shows miles only to the nearest 10th. If I am running 5K—which is 3.1 miles—when I see the 3.0 on Strava Run, I'm left wondering how close I am to that last 10th of a mile. Is it seconds away or a full minute? Finally, I see no way to enter a manual run, such as one from a treadmill, which is used commonly by many who live in colder climates.
Those observations aside, the free app works well for what functionality it does provide. Some runners may not care about the distance measurements in 10ths of miles, or they may not want audio cues. This is where personal preferences come into play, and if you don't care about those functions, Strava Run is great. But it actually gets better after your run.
The Strava Run client uploads your running data to your Strava account. On the phone you can see the results of your run: a map, total time, average pace, and pace for individual miles, along with the elevation change for each. I don't yet have a heart-rate monitor, but if I did, Strava would upload that data, too. Strava tracks your equipment used, something I like, because I never seem to remember how many miles I have on a pair of shoes. Any segments or achievements on this run are noted, as well, but more on that in a bit.
Going to the Strava site provides even more granular data, provided you buy the Premium subscription. Pace and elevation are graphed under a map of the run. Even better, though, are the G.A.P. and pace zone distribution. G.A.P. stands for "grade adjusted pace." Strava adjusts your actual pace by taking the elevation gain or drop into account.
For example, I ran the second mile of a recent workout in 7:21. Factoring in the net elevation along that mile—it's more uphill than down—the G.A.P. is 6:59, because I had to work harder than if the route were flat.
The pace zone distribution is even more helpful, in my opinion. Based on your more recent 5K time, Strava calculates target zones for your running, based on type of training.
This ranges from slow recovery runs, slightly faster endurance runs, tempo training, and all-out effort. I'm now better informed about the pace I need to run on easy days vs. the speed I need to run for upcoming races. After each run, Strava calculates how much time you spent on your run in each of these zones; ideally, you would spend most of your time in one planned zone, depending on what type of training you planned.
Like many other running software, Strava has a social aspect. You can connect to other Strava users, see their activities in your feed, give them "kudos" for a workout and "race" them virtually on the same routes. Strava also keeps track of your personal achievements for various distances: fastest half-mile or mile, for example. The service goes one step further with segments, both for you and other Strava users. You can pick any segment of a run and track times specific to that route.
I thought this was gimmicky at first, but it actually pushed me during my most recent run. The second mile of my five-mile route is a saved segment, and once I got to the starting point, I spontaneously decided to try to beat my prior time. I didn't plan on running such a pace when starting my run, but knowing a segment was upcoming motivated me to run harder and earn an achievement.
So is Strava worth the download? Absolutely, if you don't mind getting limited information during your run or don't use a treadmill. The software is free, but for a premium subscription—$6 per month, or $59 per year—you gain the detailed analytics and social aspects. Here's a comparison of the free vs. Premium service. In either case, you can export your running log data if you desire.
The social bit is a huge motivator, something I can relate to personally, and it was reiterated during a call I had with Michael Horvath, a co-founder and the chief executive of Strava. So are people paying for the premium plan to add the social aspects? They are, said Horvath. "Nobody buys premium on day one," he told me. "But 15 percent of Strava users do upgrade. And when you consider that 40 percent of those who create a Strava account never actually log any activity data, our premium take-up rate is actually better than 20 percent of the active user base."

Connect the dots, see if you can spot the picture. Some news publishers call visitors they get via search from Google worthless. Meanwhile, you've got online media companies directly looking at search activity as a way to make money. Who's not getting it?
My If Newspapers Were Stores, Would Visitors Be "Worthless" Then? post last week covers the latest anti-Google trend, to argue that millions of visitors its sends for free to news sites are nearly worthless. I disagree, as my post explains, as do my comments at Lookie Lou isn't really a customer from Steve Yelvington.
Today, there's news that AOL is almost finished with a system to deliver news stories in response to searches. From the Wall Street Journal article about AOL's plans:
The predictions, it says, are based on a wide swath of data AOL collects, from the Web searches people make on its site to the sites visited by subscribers to its Internet services….
AOL says its new system determined that the most popular topic on the Web last Tuesday was "crib recalls," following news of a massive recall by Stork Craft Manufacturing of Canada. AOL had only one story on its sites on the recall. But, if the new system had been live, editors would have geared up to supply stories on the subject from a number of angles, the company says.
Now where have I heard this before. Oh, yes — Yahoo does this. As I wrote last year in Yahoo: How Open When You Compete With Others?:
Scott Moore — who's in charge of Yahoo's media operations, — started talking about Yahoo News. He described how during the Olympics, Yahoo could watch the query stream coming in real-time and craft articles that matched the most popular requests….
Um, but aren't those publishers also your partners? I mean, as part of the open mantra of the day, we were told how Yahoo is planning to make it even easier for publishers to put their content on Yahoo News pages. That's nice, but doesn't it kind of also backstab those partners if you're also vying with them for page views?
I talked with Moore after his presentation a bit. He agreed there was competition that was happening. Indeed, he kind of smiled and said it was "coopetition," smiling I think because on the web, we've been kind of used to companies that compete with each other also working with each other….
Moore also got me riled when he talked about how Yahoo's openness can be seen in terms of the sites it links to. I didn't get the quote exactly, but it was something like: "There aren't really many other news organization that will put in links that take you away from their own content."Except Google, of course — where practically every link takes you away from Google News, with the key exception of some wire content. And in that case, Google does that primarily because the AP was threatening to sue it.
Again, I asked Moore about this later, and he made a good point of explaining that Google News isn't a news organization — it's not a news publisher. True, but I guess that brings me back to thinking that Yahoo shouldn't be a news publisher either.
You get all that? Yahoo rarely takes the same heat as Google does over Yahoo News, despite it having three times the traffic and actually having journalists who work to compete against publishers. Meanwhile you've got news publishers who pretend that Google is somehow a news publisher. Moore certainly doesn't believe that — nor does Moore believe those search visitors are worthless. Instead, they're a gold mine he was tapping at Yahoo.
Was tapping? Oh, yes — Moore's now at MSN, as executive producer in the US. You know, the recently redesigned portal owned by Microsoft, the company that is is currently positioned as some type of newspaper savior versus Google because of rumored talks for Microsoft's Bing to exclusively list News Corporation content (see Thoughts On A "Killer" Bing-News Corp Deal & The Myth Of An "OPEC For News").
Now in the past, Moore's not suggested he plans to ramp up MSN's original content to the degree that he was pushing at Yahoo. But still, he does want MSN to have its own material in addition to being a news aggregator (those terrible creatures as viewed by some news publishers). As he said in a Techflash interview earlier this year:
The thing that worked really well for me at Yahoo was the combination of aggregation — licensed content — and a small amount of original content that you can't get anywhere else….
I don't think it would be wise for Microsoft to go into a huge amount of original content creation. They already have some and probably it's a matter of tuning that programming and seeing if there are some other things that we might want to do that are original that will set us apart and attract people to us as a result of it.
In the same interview, he talked about being interested in local news and information, something that he said again is a key area for MSN after it relaunched.
I'm not saying newspapers should immediately start writing anything to tap into search traffic. In fact, I've warned against that. But I do think they need to understand that visitors from search are indeed valuable. Some of Google's competitors sure think so.

Note 6-28-14: This post has been updated because the cheesepress has been updated! It's design is improved, it's now being made from hardwood maple, and it's being seasoned with organic coconut oil!
I had a treat recently — Jerri and Nance from HomesteaderSupply.com sent me a cheese press as a gift. Not just any press, but The Ultimate Cheese Press.
I like this cheesepress so much, I made a video to show you how to use it. That video is above. You'll see it's a breeze to make cheese, plus I share why I like it so much. In a nutshell, its benefits to me are:
- Easy to use — no gauge to read, etc.
- Low space profile because the press sits right in a drip tray
- Cheese texture is great and cheese slides in and out of mold easily
- The hardwood maple is seasoned with an oil we can all get behind — organic coconut oil (you can request an unseasoned mold if you want to use another oil)
- It's designed by a cheesemaker (Jerri) and manufactured to her specifications right here in the United States!
- It's affordable
Please do watch the video, and you'll see how easy it is to make cheese.
FYI: When I originally released the Cultured Dairy and Basic Cheese eCourse and Cultured Dairy and Basic Cheese eBook, this press was not an option for you — because Jerri hadn't yet designed it.
But now it is an option! And I have updated the eCourse materials to reflect that. (Members, log in and re-download the Ingredient and Equipment notes to have the latest information.)
Also, I updated this post from last year: Cheese Press Reviews. Although The Ultimate Cheese Press is now my favorite, I would happily use any of the presses discussed there (and I do!).
Are You in the Market for a Cheese Press?
Do yourself a favor and check out The Ultimate Cheese Press from Homesteader Supply. Jerri throws in a bonus: 90-count cheesecloth!
What's That Cheese?
The cheese I'm making in the video above is queso fresco and you can find the recipe in both my Cultured Dairy and Basic Cheese eCourse and eBook.
What's your favorite cheese press and why? If you're in the market for a cheese press, would you consider The Ultimate Cheese Press?
Like my free videos? Please use the buttons below to share this video with others. And subscribe to the GNOWFGLINS Channel on YouTube — you can give this or any other video a thumbs-up!
P.S. I received my own Ultimate Cheese Press from Homesteader Supply, without any obligation of giving it a positive review. Jerri and Nance sent it to me because they're generous like that. I already told you how much I love it, and that's why I'm sharing it with you. I don't receive monetary compensation for purchases that begin here — I just want you to know about this great cheese press. 🙂

text: I have had my 2005 STS with Northstar engine back to the dealer three times for an oil leak that they can't seem to be able to fix. The first time they tightened the oil filter which I knew was not loose. The next time they added some UV dye to the oil and replaced the drain plug. The third time they pulled the transmission and replaced the rear main oil seal and it is still leaking oil on the garage floor! We really like the car, but this is the first car that we have owned that leaks oil and find it unacceptable. Is this a common problem with the Northstar and if so are there some common locations to look for the leak that the dealer may not be aware of? We are getting tired of going back for the same problem over and over again. We have considered trying another dealer, but since this one sold us the car and has the history don't want to start all over again with someone else.

Ty Pennington
By Cynthia Van Hazinga
Impressions in Fabric
Look who's taking the quilting world by storm with his powerful, personal style!
He's a force of nature, a man so curious, multi-talented, and open to new ideas it may make your head spin. He's got so much raw energy it's contagious and so much native style everyone wants to be like him.
Millions have followed modelhandsome Ty (that's short for Tygert) on television, first as a deft and quirky carpenter on TLC's "Trading Spaces," then on the hugely popular "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," in which Ty and his crew transform deserving families' homes and lives in a mere seven days. What's more, he's written a book ("Ty's Tricks: Home Repair Secrets Plus Cheap and Easy Projects to Transform Any Room") and another, "How Good Design Can Change Your Life", published a magazine, and partnered with Sears to sell bedding, furniture and other home items he's designed. We're not surprised, then, though very pleased, to see his design talent turned to creating fabrics—both for interior decoration, and yes! in cotton suitable for quilting.
Calling All Quilters
Ty's own studies, and his strong natural inclination, have always been in design, especially graphic design with its repeated patterns. No surprise, his exciting new fabric line, "Impressions," from Westminster Lifestyle Fabrics, is based on strong graphic elements. It is made up of eight strong patterns in great colors including persimmon, chartreuse and spice, and there's a second line in the works.
Ty's patterns are bold, abstract, modern, a bit edgy, and immediately intriguing. Some years ago, Atlanta born
Ty (who loves to travel) learned about the Balinese method of making batiks with wooden blocks. The process fascinated him, and he began to experiment with making blocks of wood and rubber to stamp designs on canvas. He liked the effect and took it to the design table to get an organic feel with added texture. "I fiddle," he says, "until I get that Eureka moment!"
Seeing things anew and creatively recycling them is Ty's operating style, and nothing is closer to a definition of the quilting process. He's got a deep respect for the process of quilting, honed by seeing what imaginative quilters can do with his fabrics. "It's Top: All from Ty's "Impressions" line with Westminster Lifestyle. Fabrics: Blossom, Foliage, Kimono, Asian Floral and Moorish. Room makeovers: Pillows in different prints make an eye-catching combination, above. so awesome," he says, calling quilting an art that begins with cloth and then goes in many different directions. As a young kid, he took old curtains from his parents' bedroom, cut them up and made pillows. Today's quilters, taking off from the traditional, have opened his eyes to many different possibilities. "Quilts are cool and so much fun."
Ty also celebrates the effect of quilts on home decor. "They personalize any space," he says; "they make a statement." Color is key. "I love color," says the man who also adores nature, photographs it, sees patterns, and transforms them into design. "I love icy blue, especially with a rich plum, and coral and persimmon to make it pop!"

This was our first trip to Breckenridge and it will be hard to top our experience. The views from the home were amazing, the layout was perfect for our group of six & the furnishings were lovely. A lot of thought was given to the details of the home; heated floors in the bathrooms, thick towels, very nice kitchen furnishings & an area to store our ski gear - this all contributed to a relaxing and luxurious week. The trail back to the home was roped off, but we figured out the next day that we could duck under the rope and skied right to the back doorstep. (We thought the rope was there to prevent the general population from skiing behind the homes along the path.) Overall, a wonderful stay and we'd definitely like to return one day.

User Feedback(Page 10 of 26, 501 total comments)
I tried the free trial for 14 days and didn't lose a single ounce. I'm better off continuing to exercise and controlling my portions. Don't order it. It doesn't work.
if you decide to do the trial cancel your credit card right after! I ordered it, got my "free" trial weeks later then I was being charged monthly, I tried cancelling and they made it so hard! You don't notice but when you sign up for the free trial they automaticaly sigh you up for other websites which charge you $4-10 a month, which I had not authorized! It was hell, it took me $200 to learn my lesson. NEVER AGAIN!
I am very disgruntled with this company. Like others, I gave it a good try. I used up the first bottle, then 3 more came in the mail. I opened another bottle then though it was ridiculous as it was now 6 weeks or something. I emailed to cancel and they were very nice, saying just send them back (you must have a tracking number!) and they will process a refund right away. I sent them back March 21st. What bothers me is that this company is in Canada, as am I, and yet I am being charged in US funds which equates to $76! They have charged me twice and I also was charged several "membership fees" and "Web Access fees" for the Insider Secrets and Comp Weight loss, nothing I even used. Those I have canceled but as others have said, you have to call separate numbers for each. I have followed up with Acai company and they keep telling me I need to give them the tracking number, which I have done...still no refund. Today they told me they could no longer communicate with me by email due to privacy! What a load of crap! All I want is my refund. I don't need further communication! My advice: even if this does work for you, getting involved with a Scam company like this is not worth it! This is unethical business practice.
I ordered ACAI BURN and I did not see no where in the reading that it should not be taken by Diabetics. I got the free trial and did not cancel. Did not think I had to cancel. Now they got me for another 59.95 and will not return it. They should make print bigger on these kind of things.
I think the best way to get Acai Burn is to go on Ebay.
It's way cheaper and you can't get scammed.
And also, if you go on Ebay Canada, shipping to US
and Canada may be free, it depends on the vendor.
i went to the site to buy but was worried so search and found them on ebay and brought from there u can buy them around £25 to £40 pounds whic around $35 to $60 usd its safe and dont worry about them using ur card try a month if u like get more i have been on them for 5 days now and lost quarter of a stone like 10 pounds or so i have cut my food intake and got more energy and am very happy thanks
I recently ordered acaiburn, and i did notiice a small change, but when i called to cancel i found out that they will be charging me the 59.95, which is my fault b/c i did not read the terms and agreements which is what i think these companies hope and pray ppl like me would do. Now I have to send the unused back on my expense WITH priority shipping to them. So I tell ppl to read read read, or you can be taken. For those people who do not have the numbers for the other 2 cancellation numbers they are 866-279-6513 for the insider weight loss tips and 800-989-5907 for the e-book. good luck to everyone.
hahhaa .. losers... There is no EASY & FAST Way to lose weight. Don't you undarstand!
You deserve this, because you are lazy and DON'T READ when you buying your magic pills...
Im not sure about every one else, but I ordered my trial.... I started the pills last saturday and have already lost 11 pounds this week..... The monthly charge after that will be totally worth it for my health and to lose weight.... If you have it you really should give it a try.. I have absolutely no side effects at all...I love it...
I took this product for a week and i haven't seen anything but i would suggest using a prepaid credit card when ording the free trial that you can give them a tast of their own med. not only that when you go to the home page hit the X to close it out and they will give it to you for 1.99
So I ordered my Free trial last week on the 26th of April, and I called just one number (1-866-279-6513) to cancel on April 28th, after receiving my bottle in the mail. So far there is only a 4.95 fee on my credit card statement.... are there going to be more for sure? My 14 days ends on May 10th... can I still call other numbers to cancel? HELP ME PLEASE! I don't want to be scammed, but I fear it's too late!!!
I ordered my Acaiburn Extreme a couple days ago, turned out the trial is far from "free". Website changes often and uses the date as their LAST day to send out "free" trials.
IMPORTANT: Once you order, you will be charged $60 within the 14 days of your trial period. I called to cancel and the person told me that I would STILL be charged 60 dollars, regardless if I receive the next shipment or not.
The site is dangerous and takes advantage of impulse buyers. It's a major scam.
Does it work? I don't know. I'm too scared to take it now that I've experienced all of this.
I'm glad i read this forum! I just received my "free" bottle today and after reading all the warnings from other users on this thread, i have decided the easiest and quickest way to teach these scammers a lesson. I called my credit card company to cancel my card for fraud suspicion and they cancelled it right away. So now when Acai Burn try to "automatically" take more money from me, guess what suckers, the card number is no longer in use! And i suggest any users do the same. Trying to cancel with Acai Burn direclty sounds like a lot of pain and may not be as effective. Good Luck ppl!
I read the terms, however when I cancelled and sent the placebos back nothing was said about having to call two additional numbers to cancel programs that appear to be a total sham. I've cancelled both but fear I may have to redo from reading the other reviews. If anyone needs - 800-989-5907 to cancel the Comprehensive Weight Loss ($9.95 a month CYP on charge statement) 866-279-6513 for Web Access ($4.95 a month Web Access on charge statement).
well thank you everone i was just going to order it so don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of the information about their monthly charges are clearly outlined in their 'Terms & Conditions' link found at the bottom of the website. Always look at the terms when ordering a 'free trial' product. It is here where you can find out if they are going to place monthly charges on your account. Normally, websites will have you check a box marked "I have read and understood the terms & conditions" and I am surprised that this website does not have that given the 'hidden' information it charges. Simply put...ALWAYS ready the Terms & Conditions before ordering products like this.
I received my 'free trial' then two days later I have now received three more bottles! I have just cancelled the acai burn on line at their website using their online live chat. They gave me the numbers to cancel :Insiders secrets tips please call on 0-808-120-2346 Insider Secrets To Weight Loss and to cancel : Comprehensive Weight Loss E-book Package 0-800-047-0192 . I have managed to cancel the E-book, but have yet to get through to anyone regarding Insider Secrets. Will keep trying. They stated I needed to call between 9-5 MST does anyone know what MST is?? I haven't checked my statements yet!
A friend of mine in the UK recently signed up for the free trial and got sent their bottle. A month later they then got sent 3 more bottles without having contacted Acaiburn since the original trial purchase. She hasnt yet checked her bank statements, but im assuming she got charged for the 3 bottles despite not asking Acaiburn for them. Does anyone know if theres anyway of getting the money back? And what is the way/number to call and cancel from the UK. Please help!
The numbers to cancel are:
1-800-659-3588 for the actual product. Make sure you also call 1-866-363-0187 to cancel Insider Secrets or you will have some monthly fees of $4.95, then $9.95. Also 1-800-989-5907 to cancel the Comprehensive Weight Loss e-book package even if you didn't order them. All of these come with the free trial and will show up on your credit card monthly. Also if you want to reorder the pills, they force you to order 3 months at a time at $59.95 each. That's my biggest complaint. The product seemed to help me lose a couple of pounds and feel good, but I've put them back on right away.
DO NOT USE ACAIBURN. Whether the product works or not is not the issue. READ CAREFULLY. You get sent a month�??s supply for the 14 day trial and if you don�??t return the bottle right away you get charged $59.95. When they say �??and once you choose to continue�?� - you choose to continue if you haven�??t sent the bottle back �?? at your expense. All charges are non- refundable. You get charged $1 for every transaction. Not refundable. You get charged $6.95 for �??Web Access�?� �?? nonrefundable. You get charged $9.95 for Comprehensive Weight Loss eBook package �?? also not refundable. AND you have to cancel each one individually and they don�??t tell you that when you call to cancel the first charge you didn�??t want. It may in their way tell you all this in the ad but be careful you really understand.

Good ideas I need a few ideas myself. I live in such a rural area and unemployed its hard to figure out what to do.
Thanks for the ideas.
I sell Thirty-One Gifts (www.mythirtyone.com/88376) - it's been a pretty great business opportunity for me and I've ended up making a lot more than I thought.
Mama to one awesome little girl and her adorable baby brother.
That looks pretty fun! Thanks for sharing.
living with alopecia universalis (google it), learning alongside my children DD 2003 DS 2007DD 2011
I do home care on the weekends I have 3 different clients all under the age of 18 all more like 10 year olds or under . Ive been doing this for about 5 years so I know these kids really well there have been some really challenging times but mostly its ok and totally worth it. You could call some soret of childcare services for the state and find out who you get in contact with there is a huge need for this.
