Quick Review:
As a licensed and bonded law firm, Lexington Law is at the top of our list of highly qualified credit report repair companies. At the time of this review, they have 22 lawyers on staff and over 400 paralegals as well. This number is expected to remain on pace to allow the company to service the hundreds and thousands of satisfied customers who've been able to improve their credit.
There are several areas where Lexington stands out including their highly qualified staff. One of these is the free credit report summary and credit score that they offer to current and new subscribers. They also provide a discount for family members who want to repair their credit history at the same time. This can be very helpful for low-income families to get back on their feet.
They do not lock their customers into a specific contract. You can retain their services on a month-to-month basis and because you can cancel at any time, Lexington knows that they need to provide top quality service for month-to-month.
Bottom Line
No other company offers the same combination of expertise, service, flexibility, and affordability. This makes Lexington Law our top choice for people who need immediate assistance in repairing their credit.
Past Clients:
"I know you must get great reviews like this all the time, but I just had to tell you about my results! Today in the mail I got an updated copy of my Experian credit report, and when I saw that your people had been able to get 6 out of 9 negative deleted in less than two months I couldn't stop jumping up and down! Awesome work, and incredible experience by the staff at Lexington Law Firm. I can't wait to see the results from TransUnion and Equifax! Thanks again!" – A.T.
"I cannot believe the difference the service has made in my credit! It's been 5 years since I've been able to get a normal (not secured) credit card. My credit was very bad, with a lot of old charge-offs and collection accounts. But after spending a year with your company, I now get approved for most credit lines that I apply for and for very good rates! I'll continue to use the service, and recommend you to everybody I know! Keep up the great work!" – P.C.
"I have to admit I was a little skeptical at first, but after seeing what you were able to do with my credit after only a few months, it is very reassuring. Thank you for everything you are doing for me and please pass on to your staff my appreciation for all of their hard work." – T.C.

Past Clients:
"Thanks to CreditRepair.com, I've finally been able to qualify for an auto loan to get a much-needed new vehicle for the family! In just one month I've had two negative items removed that were keeping me from being able to qualify for the loan that we needed. Can't say thank you enough!" – D.D.
"We were hoping to qualify for a new home while the interest rates at the banks were low. Three charge-offs meant that we couldn't qualify for a bank loan and I thought we would have to give up moving into our dream home. Working with CreditRepair.com was the best choice that we could've ever made. We closed on our home three months after they cleaned up our report!" – T.S.
"Charge-offs from medical bills and a bankruptcy due to health issues had ruined my credit. It was impossible for me to qualify for even the worst credit cards, and I had a lot of difficulty getting back on my feet. CreditRepair.com helped me turn things around and stopped the debt collectors from listing and relisting old debts. Awesome work!" – S.S.

#3 Sky Blue
- Cost: $59 Set Up – Only $59/mo.
- Special Couples Pricing: $99 Setup & $99 Per Month
- Over 26 Years of Experience
- A+ BBB Rating
- 100% Money Back Guarantee
- No Contract – Cancel Anytime
Quick Review:
Sky Blue is another highly-rated company, and is particularly good at helping people decide when and what to dispute on their credit reports. Because most people don't understand the nuances of the laws that allow them to repair their credit, having a professional guide the process can go a long way to seeing better results.
One other advantage with Sky Blue is their accelerated dispute process. While most credit restoration companies start with only a few items, Sky Blue will challenge up to 15 items (5 items per bureau). This means that if you have a lot of negative items, you can potentially get more of them dismissed at a faster rate.
For people who are looking to get "mortgage-ready" by getting rid of old, inaccurate charge-offs and collection accounts, Sky Blue is a very affordable option. Likewise, people who need to get qualified for a car loan or other upcoming credit inquiry can rest assured they will have the best outcome possible when working with Sky Blue.
Bottom Line
For those who may not be able to afford the initial pricing of Lexington, Sky Blue Credit offers a viable alternative with credit professionals that will get the job done.
Past Clients:
"For the price, I wasn't expecting such great results! Our credit scores are steadily rising and we're very happy with the service." – M.R.
"Let me just say how awesome your customer service department is. They handled everything, answered all of my questions and got me pointed in the right direction. Your company is the gold standard when it comes to credit repair!" – R.H.
"Thanks again for helping me with my credit. Everything has been amazing and I'm really looking forward to seeing more results." – H.J.

#4 The Credit People
- Cost: $19 Set Up – $299 up front or $59 per month
- Set Up Fee Waived with Upfront Payment
- A+ BBB Rating
- No Ongoing Monthly Fees
- Over 14 Years of Experience
- 100% Money Back Guarantee
- No Contract – Cancel Anytime
Quick Review:
For those who are looking to increase their credit score, but are leery of having to pay a monthly fee, The Credit People offers a viable alternative with great results.
The company offers several ways to get started. For those who prefer the traditional route, there is a $19 setup fee and a monthly rate of $59 per month – very reasonable for repairing your credit.
For those who want to avoid paying every month, The Credit People charges a set fee of $19 for set up and a flat rate of $299 – this covers all work done for you for a full six months, and there are no ongoing monthly commitments.
Their flat-fee pricing has a six-month satisfaction guarantee, so you can get a refund at any time during the credit repair process if you aren't satisfied.
Yet another way this company stands out is that they procure your initial credit reports and credit scores for you, for free. This is a time-saving step that can be very important for people who need credit help right away.
Bottom Line
Having the option to pre-pay for credit repair services up front can make it easier on people who have a limited amount of funds month-to-month. The satisfaction guarantee and flexibility on pricing make The Credit People a solid choice.
Past Clients:
"I've tried other companies in the past that charged a monthly fee and it seemed like I was always the one doing the work! With you guys, everything was taken care of and I saw results in just a few months. Thanks for helping me qualify for my new loan!" – S.R.
"I never believed credit repair could work before until I signed up with Credit People. There are so many scammers out there, I was really reassured that there was a 100% satisfaction guarantee and that I didn't have to pay for any month of work that I didn't approve. So far, I'm really pleased! My new credit has already saved me thousands in interest payments and I can't wait to see how much more improvement I can get." – A.S.
"Thanks for helping me with this! I knew how credit repair is supposed to work, but I've never had the time to do any of it on my own. With your people the entire process was fast and professional. A++" – J.L.

#5 Ovation Credit Services
- Cost: $89.00 Setup – As Low as $49.00/mo.
- Special Fast Track Same-Day Service
- Identity Optimization Services
- A+ BBB Rating
- Discounts for Couples, Family Members, & Friends
- Discounts for Seniors & Military
- No Contract – Cancel Anytime
Quick Review:
In terms of affordability and the sheer number of discounts for top-quality credit restoration, it's hard to compete with Ovation Credit Services.
This distinction is important because oftentimes people living in similar situations will have similar credit issues. For example, two roommates may take a hit to their credit report because a third roommate leaves or breaks the rental contract in some way. With most credit repair agencies, these two roommates would have to handle their cases separately, but with Ovation they can work together to dispute inaccuracies that are affecting their credit.
Bottom Line
Ovation provides exceptional credit repair services at an affordable rate that almost anyone can fit into their budget. We highly recommend calling to speak with one of their case managers before you sign up, to find out just how much Ovation Credit can help you with your current situation.
Past Clients:
"Amazing results! Tried doing this on my own for months, and got nowhere. Ovation really gets the job done!"
"Started out with nine collection accounts on my Experian credit report. Two months later only three left! Can't believe how much improvement I've seen in such a short time. Thank you!!"
"I was skeptical when I first signed up, but the results really speak for themselves. My credit scores have gone from low 500s to mid 700s and only three months! Can't say enough great things about Ovation Credit!"

Breezy Point Par-Tee Golf Packs Away The Clubs
Words of wisdom about golf according to Sam Snead: If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.
No one starved to death at our 24th annual Par Tee golf luncheon at the Silver Gull. The food was delicious, the service wonderful, and the ambiance was beautiful. All this is due to the efforts of our chair ladies: Bea Sharrock and Alice Mateos. Well done, ladies.
Now to the awards. This year we have a plaque instead of a trophy. It is dedicated to the memory of Emily Basher who was one of the founding members of the Par Tee golf. The tournament plaque winners for the year 2006 are: Low gross goes to Doris Neimeth and low net to Joan Williams.
Season low gross winner is Peg Ansbro and season low net winner is Nancy Heffernan. The back nine tournament winners are: Low gross goes to Pat Powers and low net to Mary O'Rourke.
Back nine season low gross is a tie between Marian Lynch and Marge Driscoll. Back nine season low net winner is Pat Powers.
The most birdies for the season was awarded to Peg Ansbro. She also had the most chip-ins for the season. The most improved player is Bea Sharrock. And the award for perfect attendance goes to Marge OLeary.
The top winner for flight A is Nancy Heffernan. Flight B belongs to Joan Fallon. Flight C is awarded to Helen Mele. And the top winner for Flight D, back nine, is Vera Lynch.
Congratulations to all the winners and participants. It was a great year thanks to the two presidents, Maureen McGuire and Pat Jordan. And thank you ladies for continuing your presidency into the next year. Your leadership and wonderful guidance are very much appreciated. And until next season may thy ball lie in green pastures-not in still waters. God Bless. Have a safe, healthy and happy year!!!

Retired general sweeps to power in Guatemala election
By Elinor Comlay and Mike McDonald
GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - A retired right-wing general promising a crackdown on violent crime won Guatemala's presidential election on Sunday and will be the first military man to take power since democracy was restored in 1986.
Otto Perez had 54.2 percent support with results in from 98 percent of polling stations while his rival, wealthy businessman Manuel Baldizon, trailed with 45.8 percent.
Guatemala's electoral tribunal declared Perez the winner late on Sunday, and his supporters began celebrating in the streets.
It was a clear move to the right for Central America's largest economy and came after leftist President Alvaro Colom failed to contain violent crime or protect the country from Mexican drug cartels using it as a key smuggling route.
Perez, 60, won the run-off election by promising a "firm hand" against crime. He has vowed by deploying troops on the streets and increasing the size of the police force.
"From the first day on, Guatemalans are going to see they've got a president committed to defending the lives and safety of all Guatemalans," Perez said late on Sunday, vowing to devote at least 60 percent of his time on security.
Supporters set off fireworks and joined a street party near the convention centre where the votes were counted. They sported the Patriot Party's orange colours on shirts and caps and waved their fists in the air in imitation of Perez's clenched-hand campaign emblem.
Guatemala's murder rate is about eight times that of the United States and many of the country's 14.7 million people want a tougher stance on crime. Continued...

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
Update: After learning that Mitt Romney played his song "Wavin' Flag" at his Flordia primary victory rally, Canadian-Somali musician K'naan announced his displeasure via Twitter: "Yo @mittromney I am K'naan Warsame and I do not endorse this message." He asked Romney not to play the song again (but said Barack Obama was welcome to); the Romney campaign reportedly has agreed. Mother Jones interviewed K'Naan shortly before his album Troubadour, which includes "Wavin' Flag," was released in 2009.
• • •
K'naan's music sounds a little like Eminem's, if Slim Shady had spent his childhood dodging bullets in Somalia's civil war. The 30-year-old hip-hop artist (born Kaynaan Warsame) grew up on the mean streets of Mogadishu and escaped in 1991 on one of the last commercial flights out of the country. Now living in Toronto, he's just released his second studio album, Troubadour, an addictive blend of African-jazz-infused ballads and rhymes about everything from Somali pirates and the immigrant experience to Iraq. Having survived "the most dangerous city in this universe," K'naan says he can't separate his music from his past. "I don't have the luxury of ignoring myself," he says. His honesty has resonated with other musicians; he's collaborated with Damian Marley and Maroon 5's Adam Levine, and Mos Def has joined him onstage. K'naan talked to Mother Jones while sitting on a bus on his way to a show.
Mother Jones: You said goodbye to Somalia when you were 13 years old. How does your childhood relate to your music?
K'naan: It's kind of the primary influence. The only way I see the world now is through coming out of and growing up and living in Somalia. In the time of war, everyone was basically trying to live and manage the best they could. But you also had another period which was not a hard time at all—it was just a beautiful time. I lived in both eras. I got to fully experience and appreciate both the tragedy of Somalia and the beauty of it.
MJ: In your music, you talk a lot about being a kid in a war zone. In "People Like Me," you say you "partook in the gun crimes" and mention a "close call with a grenade." Did you fight in the war?
K: The idea of child soldiers is different in Somalia. There is no real military to join, nor are there any consistent rebel groups. There is just war. And it's everywhere; in the hands of adults and in the little hands of children. It is the very survival of the streets that makes children pick up guns in Somalia, not some older, wide-eyed rebel leader. My intimate experiences during these years are something which I have shared with people through my music but am very careful about how they are addressed. I learned to fire guns at the age of nine or so, but luckily was not out killing people. We zigzagged the streets to escape those trying to kill us. I guess it would have been a matter of time till I turned around with a gun myself, to go after those coming for us. But I was fortunate. The grenade incident was about an explosion which destroyed a section of my school, from a grenade that me and my cousin detonated by accident. We both lived to tell about it.
MJ: When you were growing up, were you aware of American hip-hop?
K: Very limited stuff—this one album by Eric B. & Rakim called Paid in Full. That was my first and last interaction with hip-hop until I got to North America.
MJ: Is there Somali hip-hop?
K: No. Somalis really are very musically sophisticated, and they're about their own thing. They're not very quick to import.
MJ: What do you think about the situation in Somalia right now?
K: It's horrific. The UN recently said that it's the worst humanitarian disaster in the world, more so than Darfur. What can I say, man—it's a sad situation. It was great to have the fortune to escape what was happening in the country. Of course, the flip side of that is that you're leaving everyone you love, and you're leaving the place you love and the things you know.
MJ: How do you feel when people turn Somali pirates into a joke?
K: Well, the pirates are serving a purpose right now. They come from regions which have been completely ignored, and Westerners have tried to destroy these regions by their constant plundering of resources and by the illegal dumping of nuclear waste. The pirates really began in order to discourage these actions—initially. And then the business became lucrative. So I don't know what to tell these people who want Somalis to condemn them. One man's pirate is another man's coast guard.
MJ: You make fun of rappers who have a thug posture. Don't you think that what people are going through in Oakland and New Orleans and Queens is hardcore enough?
K: I guess it's hardcore enough—for them. The truth is that everyone's struggle is legitimate. I understand those ghettos; I've lived in them. But there are, in fact, more severe struggles.
MJ: Have you gotten any flak from other rappers about that stance?
K: Actually, rappers understand that more than a lot of people. The same rappers who are the glorifiers of it all, when faced with reality, are like, "Yo, man, you're right. It's the truth."
MJ: So why this obsession with glorifying violence in hip-hop?
K: I think a lot of it has to do with marketing groups, statistics—what works and what doesn't. If peace began to sell, that would be the norm. But right now the consumer is getting really smart. Extreme exposure no longer equals selling records, which I think is a very good scenario for music. Not so much for record labels.
MJ: In "15 Minutes Away," about making a money transfer back home, you say, "Generosity is the key." Are you taking a stance against rappers like Kanye West and Cash Money Millionaires, who brag about how much their jewelry costs?
K: It's just how I feel. These guys are very hungry for opportunity, and they really try to expose themselves. But I just think that sometimes that might not be the most important thing in the world. I'm not about trying to get and get and get. I feel good when I get, but I kind of feel better when I give.

Electronic Arts Posts Unexpected Quarterly Profit
Electronic Arts Inc. (EA), the second-largest video-game publisher, posted an unexpected $96 million first-quarter profit on better-than-projected sales of titles including "2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa."
Net income of 29 cents a share compared with a loss of $234 million, or 72 cents, a year earlier, Redwood City, California-based Electronic Arts said today in a statement. Excluding some items, the company had a loss of 24 cents in the period ended June 30, smaller than the average 35-cent loss estimated by 21 analysts in a Bloomberg survey.
Online games and titles for Apple Inc.'s iPad contributed to the results. Chief Executive Officer John Riccitiello has cut more than 2,500 jobs since 2008 to reduce costs and stem three years of losses. In November, the company bought Playfish, the second-largest maker of games on Facebook, for as much as $400 million to gain a bigger foothold in casual, online play.
"The expenses appear to be under control," said Colin Sebastian, an analyst at Lazard Capital Markets in San Francisco who has a "hold" rating on the stock. "EA continues to make some progress on its turnaround."
The global market for online games is projected to grow by a third to $20 billion in 2010, according to Sebastian. Meanwhile retail sales of game hardware and software in the U.S. fell 9 percent in the first half of the year, according to NPD Group Inc., a Port Washington, New York-based researcher.
Online Games
Electronic Arts' sales of online games increased 52 percent to $188 million from a year earlier, Eric Brown, the company's chief financial officer, said in an interview.
"We feel confident about the slate of games coming," Brown said.
In July, Electronic Arts sold its 15 percent of Ubisoft Entertainment SA, Europe's largest video-game maker, for $122 million, people close to the deal said.
First-quarter sales minus some items totaled $539 million, compared with estimates of $504.7 million. Analysts had projected a net loss of $32.2 million for the quarter, the average of 13 estimates.
Electronic Arts' roster of holiday releases should boost sales, Michael Pachter, an analyst at Los Angeles-based Wedbush Securities Inc., wrote in a note to investors before earnings was released. The titles include "Crysis 2," "Dead Space 2," "EA Sports Active 2.0" and "The Sims 4."
This quarter, the company forecasts sales of $775 million to $825 million, excluding some items. The company predicts a loss of 10 cents to 15 cents a share on that basis.
Analysts project a loss of 11 cents, the average of 20 estimates, on revenue of $815.8 million.
Electronic Arts rose 86 cents to $16.94 in extended trading after results came out. The stock lost 32 cents to $16.18 at 4 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market trading and has fallen 8.8 percent this year. Activision Blizzard Inc. is the largest video-game publisher.

Krka is a river in Croatia's Dalmatia region, with length circa 73 km; famous for its numerous waterfalls.
The river has its source near the border of Croatia with Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the foot of the Dinara mountain. It flows past Knin in Inner Dalmatia towards the south and enters the Prokljansko jezero near Skradin. The best known sites on the river path are the island Visovac and the Monastery Krka.
Before its outflow the river forms beautiful and well known waterfalls called Skradinski Buk, part of Krka National Park.

Kornati National Park occupies the area of about 220 km2 (54.000 acres). There are 89 islands, islets and reefs within the area of Kornati National Park (238 km of the coastline), what makes it the most indented group of islands in the Mediterranean.
The land part of Kornati National Park covers less than 1/4 of its total area, but the values of its landscapes, the "crowns" (cliffs) on the islands facing the open sea, and interesting relief structures, make this part of Kornati National Park unique.

Snow is precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes.
Snow is commonly formed when water vapor undergoes deposition high in the atmosphere at a temperature of less than 0°C (32°F), and then falls to the ground.
Snow is used as a thermal insulator conserving the heat of the Earth and protecting crops from the freezing weather.

Continental Notified by Schaeffler of Termination of Investment Agreement
May 13, 2013
- No impact on very good and goal-oriented cooperation
Hanover, May 13, 2013. The Herzogenaurach-based Schaeffler Group today notified Hanover-based Continental AG of its intention to terminate the mutual investment agreement in place since 2008. The investment agreement will thus end in May 2014.
Here you can download the press release as a doc-file.
With the involvement of Germany's former federal chancellor Dr. Gerhard Schröder, Continental AG concluded the investment agreement with the Schaeffler Group and its associated persons on August 20, 2008. It governs the cooperative relationship between the two companies in view of Schaeffler's position as Continental's major single shareholder. Schaeffler currently holds 49.9 percent of Continental shares.
"Notice of termination of the investment agreement is understandable from the vantage point of Schaeffler, our anchor shareholder. We are confident that the two companies will continue their very good and goal-oriented cooperation on into the future," said Dr. Elmar Degenhart, CEO of Continental AG.

Wonder no more as the Chinese company Onyx International has already made one. And surprisingly, it runs Android, albeit in a heavily modified form in order to make the interface usable on the black-and-white e-ink screen. Using the smartphone under broad daylight is no problem at all, as you are about to see in the video below, and the battery of the device is said to last for an entire week.
Unfortunately, the smartphone experience is totally destroyed by the limitations of the e-ink screen, such as the lack of colors and the slow refresh rate. In other words, forget about enjoying YouTube videos, playing Angry Birds, or having any kind of fun with this handset. So yeah, perhaps an e-ink smartphone isn't such a good idea, even though it has its advantages, but we'd also like to hear your opinion on the matter. Drop us a line below and tell us what you think of it!

Introducing Tatyana Kozhevnikova – The Woman With The Worlds Strongest Pussy
The Sun- MEET Russian gymnast Tatyana Kozhevnikova — the woman with the world's strongest VAGINA. Tatyana, who holds the Guinness World Record for "vagina weightlifting", can pick up an incredible 14kg kettlebell using just her nether regions. And now she has revealed exactly how she does it on new E4 programme The Body Shocking Show. The eye-popping footage, which will air later this month, shows Tatyana lifting 6kg dumbbells — equivalent to the weight of two melons — using only the muscles in her vagina. She explains, via a translator, to stunned hosts Jessica-Jane Clement and Pete Firman: "I insert this wooden egg equipment. "And then you just tighten your vaginal muscles and hold the egg inside." Tatyana then fits the weights to the egg and manages to keep them held up in the air. Tatyana, who runs a website where she offers to train people in the art of Intimate Gymnastics, added: "I haven't just stumbled upon this talent. "I had normal vaginal muscles like any other woman but I've achieved it after 20 years of vigorous training."
You know what I always wonder about? How do goalies become goalies? How do catchers become catchers? Which kids out there willingly pick the shittiest position on the field/ice? Theres no glory. Tons of equipment. Uncomfortable position. Its just an odd choice when you're coming up to willingly pick those positions.
Well how on earth does a chick decide she's gonna have the world's strongest pussy? At what point is she like "Fetch me my wooden egg equipment and some dumbbells! Its time to make this pussy sweat!" Like how sick do you have to be to choose "Intimate Gymnastics" as your forte?? I mean everyone loves a tight pussy put I get the distinct feeling if you put your dick inside Tatyana Kozhevnikova you ain't getting it back. It ain't hot. It ain't like its a job. There is pretty much zero value in having the world's strongest pussy other than an appearance on the Guinness Book of World Records every couple years. The rate of return on investing in your pussy's strength is so unbelievably low, theres just no logical reason to strive for it. But every team needs a goalie. Every team needs a catcher. And I guess everybody needs at least one extremely strong pussy capable of lifting shit like a crane.

I've had pretty good luck with the Endomorphs on hard ice, especially when run at low pressure. There's so much rubber in contact with the ground that as long as I don't make any sudden moves or slam on the brakes, I don't slide. Ice under new snow is a whole new problem, however. There have been days when I've opted to use my studded tires and stay on the roads rather than use my Pugsley to commute to trails, because of precarious road conditions. I'm with you in wanting to see a studded Endo, although I'd probably rather see one with more aggressive tread, for climbing on snow-covered slopes. That tire would be terrible on ice.

... I appreciate the suggestions about riding in the lane. Since I'm out there training for a bike race run entirely in marginal snow conditons, riding in the shoulders is actually really good for me. I just have to use extra precaution so I'm always in control, because swerving on the trail is one thing, but swerving in traffic is not acceptable. I've actually seen people skiing in the road shoulders, but trust me, with my skill set in skiing, I'm better off on the bike.

Really looking forward to Hawaii. I'm pretty sure I haven't felt an outdoor temperature over 74 degrees since 2007.Jillhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-31052442329763942252009-01-06T16:04:00.000-08:002009-01-06T16:04:00.000-08:00Jill, Love the camera work!

 KB, here are a couple of tips for the ride to the trails on slippery/icy roads when not using studs.

1. Look at the terrain ahead of you and pick the best routes.

2. Ride slower to the destination trails and take your turns without leaning the bike over.

3. Make slow, small steering corrections.

4. Be ready to put those feet down if the front tire breaks loose and also be ready for your foot to slide out from under you.

 The above tips will help keep you upright but expect to dump the bike when you start pushing the limits.

And yes they plow all of the snow into the shoulder. My favorites are the people who decide, it came from the road so they shovel it back out into the road, making the shoulder even narrower.
I agree with Geoff, take the right tire lane. I also use one of the tail lights made by Dinotte. They are incredible. People see them and move over or slow down. In my 8 years of commuting, it's the best tail light I've ever owned. Hope that helps,

After years of thinking about it, I'm going to be receiving a snowbike (Fatback) in the next couple of weeks. I'm convinced that it'll be great on the trails. However, I keep wondering how it will do on icy roads when I'm riding to the trailheads. I wish Surly made studded tires. Any insights?

The adidas F50 adiZero has revolutionised the football boots market, perhaps overpowering the Nike Mercurial Vapor range.
More specifically, the Primes have also taken performance to another level, by tipping the scales at a mere 145 g, i.e. 5 g lighter than their nearest competitors, being the Puma v1.10 SLs.
The brand new White / Radiant Pink / Cyan adidas F50 adiZero Prime has been finally released, being constructed using the adiLite Twin synthetic material that reduces weight while giving an improved feel of the ball.
The TPU Bottom Frame sets these boots apart from the standard F50 adiZeros . . . standing out in a different colour from the rest of the boot, this band actually runs around the boot, offering lateral stability and protection against upper abrasion.
The multi-coloured Traxion stud shape and configuration provides for maximum acceleration and optimal support during movement.

Victorian Garden
A small Victorian Garden sits at the rear of our house. It is open to guests and provides a lovely sheltered spot on a hot summer day. Although the north facing situation allows only a limited choice of plants you can find over 70 species in the garden. From January to December there is always one of these in bloom or carrying interesting fruit.
Very typical for a Victorian house it is designed as a small Italian garden with a fountain, pebbles and decorative borders. The shadiest corner between the walls contain a small stumpery with tree fern, hellebores and clematis.
In the sunny side you find a laurel tree, oriental lilies, an Azara tree, plenty of Agapanthus and lots more.
We see plenty of birds enjoying themselves in our garden like great, blue and long-tailed tits, robins, wrens, nuthatches, song thrushes, jays and starlings. The tits and robins regularly nest in the garden, too. Please help us support RSPB and buy a badge in our lounge.
We are very proud to have won the 2010 Britain in Bloom Bronze prize for small B&B and guest houses in Falmouth.
Our house front patio offers a colourful display throughout the year. You can find about 500 spring flower bulbs (Daffodils, grape hyacinths, snow drops and Hyacinths), a selection of English and subtropical shrubs (Holly, Fatsia, Fuchsia, Jasmine, Clematis, pink Hydrangea and blue Lace cap Hydrangea and last but not least the Rose border under the Cordylines.

Background: Font color:
James' voice rang like a bell into Albus' room as he asked, "Still asleep? Mum owled to see if we're going to make it for brunch."
"We're just getting up," Al called, planting a kiss on Derrick's cheek. "Just need a few minutes to-"
Opening the door to his brother's room, James poked his head in, "Merlin, put some clothes on, Al. You don't have time for that, let's get going." Derrick had pulled the blankets midway up his torso causing James to laugh, "It's not anything I haven't seen in the locker room, Williams."
Al rolled his eyes as he grabbed his wand to levitate a sheet to obscure James' view of him getting dressed. "You could have just waited in the living room – I would have been out in a few minutes."
"I thought you guys needed adult supervision," James said, leaning against the doorframe.
By the time Albus had his trousers on, Derrick was finished dressing. "I should duck out. Thanks for the fun night," he said as he tugged at Al's waistband, pulling him close. The slow kiss caused Al's concentration to lapse long enough for the sheet between him and the rest of the room to fall.
"Oy!" James shouted causing Derrick to snap his head away from Al. "Didn't you get enough of that last night?" he asked with his eyebrows raised.
"I suppose I did, Potter," Derrick said with a wink to Al. "See you at practice. Bye, Al." After watching Derrick leave, Al returned to his task of finding an acceptable top to wear to family brunch.
James and Albus moved into their flat some six months previous to try living outside of their parents' house for a spell. It had been James' idea but he did the math and realized that he would have a closet for a flat if he moved out on his own. Being a professional quidditch player was his dream job but it did not pay enough for a lush lifestyle – not if the team continued to be near the bottom of the league. Albus was the one who suggested they get a place together. His pay at Weasley Wizard Wheezes was enough to float on but he fancied eating more than bits of crackers and cheese for meals.
Finally pulling on his robes and adjusting his collar, Albus looked over at his older brother and laughed. "Staring at your watch won't make me go faster."
"You can tell Mum we're late because you couldn't take your hands off my teammate," James snipped. Al smiled, knowing that any conversation about physical affection in front of their parents would send James over the edge.
It took ten more minutes for them to finally appear in the living room at Harry and Ginny Potter's house – their childhood home. Lily came running into the living room when she heard her brothers amble out of the fireplace. "You're almost late," she declared, causing James to shoot Albus a significant look. "Let me guess, you threw another party for your team?" she asked looking at James, crossing her arms.
He nodded, then said, "Have to boost team morale." Albus stifled a laugh as he recalled the ruckus drinking and rather intense quidditch debates from the previous night.
"When can I go to one of your parties?" Lily asked, narrowing her eyes at the idea of her brothers having so much fun without her.
"I was thinking never," Al offered, taking a seat on the couch. "Those guys only want one thing, Lil."
"Maybe I only want one thing," Lily retorted, causing James to screw his face up with disgust. "Oh puh-lease. You guys get to go have all the fun."
"Older brothers are like that," came Ginny's voice from the doorway. Lily's eyes showed momentary discomfort as she worried about how much her mother overheard. "I wouldn't mention wanting one thing to your father, he's liable to snap his wand," she added, not able to hold in her grin. "Come on, you three, food is up."
Sunday Brunch was a recent tradition for the Potter household. With all their children out of Hogwarts and two living out of the house, it was important to Harry and Ginny to pull them together at least once a week, if not more, for quality family time.
"Do you have plans this afternoon, Al?" Harry asked as he pushed his mostly clean plate towards the center of the table.
Nodding, Al said, "I'm meeting Scorpius for tea to go over some potion ideas he wants to try on the market."
With a groan, James gave his brother a withering look before asking, "Why do you still hang out with that creep?"
It wasn't Al who spoke up first to defend Scorpius, it was Lily. "Don't call him a creep, James. Albus can be friends who whomever he likes."
James had been the last in the family to put together the nature Albus and Scorpius' relationship while they were at school. It took Albus' blunt explanation for James to get that they weren't just best friends who shared a dorm. His main objection to the relationship was that he had gotten into a fight with Billy Finnegan who claimed that he had seen Albus and Scorpius snogging in the library. He would have hexed Billy either way but it didn't sit well with him to not know about Al's relationship. Now James disliked Scorpius for the way he played Al and manipulated Rose, not taking into account that neither of the wronged parties held a grudge.
"Yeah, no one is stopping you from being friends with Dawlish," Al shot out there. "He cheated on my friend and slugged a ref at a match."
Harry cutoff the building argument with a, "As long as no one is hanging out with death eaters, you're all permitted to be friends with anyone you like."
"Malfoy's dad was a death eater," James grumbled, causing Ginny to smirk from behind her napkin as she wiped her mouth.
"Cut it out, you two," she said once all traces of the grin left her face. "You boys can argue all week at your flat but keep a lid on it at home."
"Yes, Mum," came Al's voice while James merely grunted his agreement.
Overall it was a pleasant time with the family. James and Al kept their bickering to a minimum and focused instead on teasing Lily. When Al got up to leave for tea, Ginny insisted he go with a stack of lemon cakes to share with Scorpius as they were both just getting on their feet and shouldn't be subjected to tea without proper snacks.
Within minutes of departing his parents' house, Albus was being greeted by Scorpius at his small flat in Diagon Alley. It was just over a year back that Scorpius asked Albus to give him another shot at being friends. They both approached the relationship with caution as they had both been heartbroken at their fallout.
"Mum sent me with these," Albus said, handing Scorpius the lemon cakes. "How was your week?"
"Sales were good – I got three orders for shrinking potion which seemed a bit unusual," he mused out loud.
"Maybe they're packing a lot into their trunk and need everything to be smaller," Albus suggested, thinking that most people who bought something as simple as a shrinking potion would be horrible at a complicated spell like undetectable expansion.
"Could be… I forgot to ask. I've been a bit distracted I suppose," Scorpius confessed, not quite making eye contact with Al.
"Is everything alright?" Al said with concern. He raked his eyes over Scorpius' features, checking for signs of malnutrition or emotional woes. It was unusual for Scorpius not to inquire about the buying habits of his customers, especially as his business relied on understanding why people needed his potions. He and Al often sat around speculating why people needed specific potions, often embellishing tales about various clients.
"I met someone," Scorpius nearly sang with excitement.
"Like a new customer?" Albus asked with a sarcastic edge to his voice.
The smile that passed over Scorpius' face told him it wasn't a business acquaintance. "No, not a new customer."
Albus stared at Scorpius waiting for more details, but his friend sipped on his tea with a sly smile curving the corners of his mouth. "Oh, come out with the details, for Merlin's sake," Albus finally appealed. "Give me something more to go on here."
Scorpius seemed to relish his ability to keep Al on the edge of his seat, waiting for more information. "His name is Corbin and we've gone out a few times," Scorpius supplied.
The way Scorpius' face lit up while he was talking about Corbin told Albus much more than the words used – he was enthralled with the man called Corbin. Through all his excitement for Scorpius, Al could not quell the unease of jealousy. Trying to come across as nonchalant, Albus asked, "So… what makes him so promising?"
It took a great deal of self-control to listen to Scorpius excitedly detail how they first met up for drinks, then Corbin took him out for dinner, and how he's been completely wonderful to be around. Albus considered how Brandon, would react in this situation and decided to encourage Scorpius to keep seeing Corbin. Brandon had been the first person Albus dated who accepted his affection without conditions or the need to hide their relationship. He had been an exceptional partner but saw the need to end their relationship once it became clear that Albus was using him as an emotional crutch. Brandon would be the understanding friend in situation, so Al was trying to do the same.
"When do you see him again?" Albus asked, leaning back in his chair.
"He's making me dinner Tuesday," Scorpius grinned toothily. "I think I'll stay over that night," he added with a hint of shyness to his voice.
Al was starting to wonder if Scorpius was trying to make him jealous but didn't let his emotions run amok. "You have to tell me all about it," he said with genuine interest.
Later that evening, when Albus gave Scorpius a hug goodbye, he resisted the urge to kiss him goodnight, as he'd considered doing several times before. "Goodnight, Al," Scorpius murmured as if he had also felt the same swoosh of desire.
James was splayed on the couch with a magazine in hand when Albus got back to their flat. "How's Malfoy?" he called, not bothering to look up from his reading.
"Scorpius is just fine," Al told him. "He has a boyfriend, actually."
This news caused James to be momentarily distracted and sit up. "I thought you two were going to…" he sputtered, unable to finish the sentence. Albus rolled his eyes and retreated to his room, only to be followed by James. "I'm sorry, Al. That must be hard."
Albus stared at his brother for a few minutes before responding. "I'm happy for him," he insisted but then added, after James crossed his arms, "but it is difficult to know he's finally moved on. Merlin, I don't even know if I would want him back except for a good shag." It was more bravado than he really felt at the moment, but Al didn't want to dwell on a tiny moment of jealousy.
"Do you think it'll get serious for you and Williams?" James asked with a smirk. "You two definitely seemed to get serious last night."
"He's pretty but kind of dim," Al laughed. "Besides, I get enough quidditch talk from you."
"We can't both be perpetually single," James grinned. "I thought playing professional quidditch meant witches queued up for a date."
"It would help if you left the pitch sometimes," Albus suggested in a mock-helpful voice. "I've gotten plenty of dates from you being a professional quidditch player," he added, laughing.
"Dead helpful that's been to me," James pouted.
"We can go out this week and I'll be your wing-man."
"Can you pull that off?" James asked, his interest piqued.
"Of course."
It was Thursday before their schedules allowed the two Potter brothers to go out to a pub to help James meet a pretty witch. Dragon Tail was a popular place for younger witches and wizards to hang out. Al least no one their parents age frequented the pub.
"You know," Al started and they started in on their first drinks for the evening – butterbeer and mulled mead – "I think Rose has some friends who are single."
"You're not calling tonight quits yet, are you?" James teased with a crooked smirk. "You don't have to snog someone just to be the wingman."
"That's too bad, he's quite good at it," came a voice that caused Albus' stomach to lurch excitedly. He turned to see Brandon, running a hand through his hair. "I saw you two here and thought I'd say hi."
"How've you been, Bran?" James asked as if greeting an old friend.
Albus, on the other hand hurriedly took a gulp of butterbeer and wished he had ordered something a bit stronger. "Brandon," he finally got out. "Nice seeing you here."
"I've been quite well, thanks," Brandon said over the noise of the pub. He took a moment to answer Al – perhaps he was remembering the last time they enjoyed drinks together and had snogged in a bathroom. "It's a pleasure to see you," he added before downing a gulp from his pint glass.
"Why don't you join us?" James asked, pulling out a chair. "We're trying to find me a date."
"There's a group of witches over there," Brandon pointed to a small group in the corner. "At least one of them has to have a weakness for hunky blokes who are good on a broom."
Al frowned for a moment trying to work out if that was a pass at his brother. "Maybe one will even fancy you, James," he quipped, taking the low shot.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence," James said darkly, taking a long draw from his glass. "No time like the present."
They made Al go initiate conversation with the women as he'd be less wounded by the rejection than James. Brandon and James watched as Al chatted with the group of women, both trying not to stare but wanting to see how it was going.
"I'm glad you could make it out tonight," James told Brandon.
"I thought you said Al wanted to see me," Brandon said with a glance in Al's direction to check he was still busy with his task.
"He does," James assured him. "He just didn't know you'd be here tonight," he added, grinning.
Albus and Brandon had gone out for drinks a few times since their breakup but neither seemed to contain their behavior to friendly interaction – they usually ended up with one of their backs against an alley wall being kissed fiercely by the other. Neither objected to this happening but it caused confusing pang that lasted for days afterwards.
Several minutes into his quest to engage the witches, Albus returned with a triumphant grin. "They'd like to play darts," he announced as if he'd just negotiated peace between two warring nations.
James laughed and stood from his chair. "It's going to be a good night." Catching the gleam in Brandon's eyes, Albus silently agreed.
A/N: gah, I don't know if I like this chapter but I had to start the novel off somehow. The title of this chapter is a song by The Shins. I highly recommend listening to it (for your own musical edification). Thanks for the read! I'd love a quick review to get your thoughts.
Also, a huge thanks to LightLeviosa, Kenpo, Rumpel, and Veritaserum27 – you all helped me get off my rear and start on this after months of talking it up.

How many hours a day do you spend reading and answering your email? More than you'd care to admit? Email is a great tool that enables efficient communication — and it can be fun, too. However, those electronic messages can also be a big time drain and a source of clutter.
Some email programs have a built–in junk email management feature that routinely puts unsolicited email into a bulk mail folder. The bulk messages are purged after a period of time if you don't delete them on your own. Many email providers also allow you to "block" specific email addresses from your inbox. When email arrives from one of the addresses on your blocked list, it is automatically deleted.
Many email programs also have a filtering capability that allows you to route messages from specific recipients, or messages containing certain key words, into folders. For organizational purposes, it's a good idea: you can have all messages regarding a certain project, for example, put in a folder for future reference.
According to Ronni Eisenberg and Kate Kelly, authors of Organize Your Home Office!, "by using a filter that puts into a trash folder all e–mail that has certain word strings, you can then scan only the headers. If that doesn't reduce your e–mail, you'll need to have it scan the full text of the message. Start out with word strings like 'money–making opportunity,' 'make money,' '90 days,' '!!!,"...and 'dear friend.'" Check your trash folder periodically before emptying it permanently to ensure that the filter has not sorted something that you want to read.
To stop unsolicited email, Jane Yoos, a professional organizer and the founder of Let It Go, Inc., advises signing up for the Direct Marketing Association's (DMA's) e–Mail Preference Service. When consumers sign up for this free service, their email addresses are put on a "do not send" list that is distributed to all DMA members.
Instead of reading each email in the order in which it was sent, view the entire list of incoming messages to identify those that can be deleted immediately. Eisenberg and Kelly, in their book, Organize Your Office!, recommend "using the sender or the subject line to make a judgment." Always answer the more important messages immediately and save the rest for later.
"Ruthlessly delete what you know you're not going to need later," says Yoos. Discarding unneeded messages now saves time and future aggravation, not to mention valuable space on your server or hard disk. Only a small percentage of your messages will contain information that you'll need to hold on to for a long time.
Try to keep the number of messages in your inbox low — use the inbox for unread messages or messages that you're working on and will reply to shortly. For those messages that you'll need to save for future reference, Yoos advocates using folders arranged by topic. Sort through your mail folders once a month to see if there is anything that you can put in the trash. Remember: the less you keep, the easier it will be to find the things that you're looking for.
If you go for too long without checking your email, you may have so much correspondence waiting for you that you'll be overwhelmed. Barbara Hemphill, the author of Taming the Paper Tiger, suggests reading your email a few times a day, at designated intervals. Hemphill writes, "When I'm in the office, I generally check my e–mail first thing in the morning, at midday and before I leave the office. When I travel, I often only check at the end of each day."
When sending email, keep it brief and clearly organized. "Concise e–mail messages generally get concise answers in return, so don't be wordy," write Eisenberg and Kelly in Organize Your Home Office!. "Your most important information should be in the first paragraph with the less important below. Most e–mail messages should be only three paragraphs or less."
Consider setting up different email accounts to keep your business and personal messages separate, advise Eisenberg and Kelly. You'll have at least one business account, of course, but you may also want a personal account for correspondence with friends and family, an account to use for a leisure or volunteer activity, and maybe an account for job searching activities. Numerous free email services are available; Yahoo!, Hotmail, and Excite are three popular ones.
Compartmentalizing your email in this manner will allow you to deal with it efficiently. This is also wise if your company has a "business only" technology policy that discourages using your company email account for personal use.
If you're going to be away from your computer for more than a day or two, turn on the automatic response feature to alert those who send you email that you'll respond when you return. If someone sends you an urgent message while you're away and doesn't get any response, they might send a follow–up message, or be annoyed or confused. When you do return to your office, respond to your urgent messages right away, and be sure to turn off the automatic response feature.

Type 2 diabetes is caused by an inability of the beta-cells in the pancreas to produce enough of the hormone insulin to meet the body's needs.
Central to this is a loss of beta-cell function and mass as a result of insulin resistance (the inability of cells in the body to respond appropriately to insulin).
New insight into how insulin resistance leads to loss of beta-cell mass has now been provided by studies in multiple mouse models of type 2 diabetes performed by Randal Kaufman and colleagues, at the University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor.
In the study, in the absence of the protein CHOP, the symptoms of diabetes improved in two mouse models of the disease, and this was associated with increased beta-cell mass. In addition, the structure of the beta-cells appeared to be more normal and they were encouraged to survive.
CHOP is a protein that is involved in promoting the death of a cell that is under stress because it is producing more protein than it is able to handle.
The authors therefore propose that insulin resistance causes beta-cells to make more insulin than they can handle, such that the stress signaling pathways that activate CHOP are initiated and the beta-cells die, thereby decreasing beta-cell mass. Further, it is suggested that drugs that modulate the stress response to over production of insulin might provide a new approach to the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Flashing yellow lights to be activated in Kingsport
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Six flashing yellow turn signals are being activated in Kingsport along Fort Henry Drive in the Colonial Heights area from Interstate 81 to the intersection with Moreland Drive, with the Traffic Department set to deploy the signals during the next 24 hours.
The first flashing yellow caution signal head outside of the downtown area went live at the Interstate 81 off ramp Monday afternoon, according to Kingsport Traffic Engineer Tim Elsea.
"Flashing yellow turn signals have shown to be a more efficient way to allow left turn movements at busy intersections by lengthening the period where turn movements are authorized," Elsea said. "The Federal Highway Administration has demonstrated that these signals allow additional traffic flexibility while preserving safety."
The signals are placed over left-turn lanes at intersections.
The first light at the top of the traffic signal head is a steady red arrow meaning no turning movements are allowed.
The second is steady-yellow arrow meaning unrestricted turning movements are allowed as gaps in oncoming traffic allow, but that opportunity is about to end, as the signal turns to a red arrow.
The third signal from the top of the signal head is a flashing yellow arrow allowing turning movements when oncoming lanes are clear.
And the fourth light is a steady-green arrow meaning left turns are unrestricted.
"When the flashing-yellow arrow is displayed, motorists are allowed to turn left when there are gaps in oncoming traffic or no pedestrians in the intersection," Elsea said. "Motorists may also turn left normally when a green arrow is displayed and oncoming traffic has stopped. They should not turn left when the red left-turn arrow is displayed."
For more information please, visit http://publicworks.kingsporttn.gov/traffic to watch an informational video and review literature regarding the flashing yellow arrow effort, or contact the Traffic Department at 229-9487 with questions.

" Category: Television "
Create and Craft is a shopping channel that also offers a membership for viewers.
Create and Craft is based in Peterborough, a crafting channel for all different types of crafts, from Card making, Cake decorating, Quilting and even sewing and knitting, with so much more.
They have many demonstrators, from well-known brands, selling the products and showing techniques and creating projects, live on air. The demonstrators usually have a presenter alongside them, not always presenters that craft themselves, but many have a great sense of humour which makes it more enjoyable to watch.
Viewers can send in their emails and questions which they can answer on air or just read and share viewers thoughts and project photos, depending on the show, they sometimes choose an email or two at random and send them a card or creation, so when writing your email, including your address at the bottom might win you a handmade item.
There are a couple of ways to place an order, either online - by adding them to your online basket, from their website which is fairly easy to navigate, you can find your items through the categories, type them in the search bar (name, company or item number) or selecting 'on air products.' If you place an item in your basket that allows 'Flexi-pay' which is where you pay it in instalments, then all your items can also be paid in instalments if you prefer.
They accept the usual credit and debit cards and now allow PayPal payments.
You can also place an order over the telephone - by writing down the item numbers for the products you want to purchase, which is listed on your TV screen and website, and you can call them on the number, also listed on their channel and website, small cost for each call depending if you are calling from a landline or mobile.
Most UK products are £2.99 per item, but if you order three or more items the maximum postage you will pay is £6.99, unless otherwise stated. They aim to dispatch there items between 3-5 working days, most of their packages require a signature or someone to be present to accept the parcel, but they can leave it with a neighbour or in a safe place if needed.
I have used Create and Craft for several years and family and friends have used them for much longer, I used to experience deliveries taking weeks to arrive, even the smallest of packages, but over the past year I have received my order within a couple of days or so.
If I'm not home they are usually pretty good at leaving them in a safe place, but I have witness them leaving them in silly places such as behind a neighbours bin... but up the road from me or even outside at the end of my drive in the pouring rain.
Delivery has got a lot faster over the years, but better if you are home or deliver to a friend or family member, that will be home.
They do offer an international delivery option for certain items, all information is listed on their website.
The price of their products can usually be found cheaper online elsewhere, although they sell certain products, certain bundles and release some items before other places a few months before, so you can pay for the privilege of receiving the item before others.
If you are ordering a lot from their site it may be worth joining their Create and Craft Club for the extra 10% off products and extras (listed below)
It is worth looking out for their Today's Special Value, Pick of the week and sale / discount shows as this is much more worth the price.
I have yet to have to return a product, as I have been happy with all purchases, but they have moved their call centre to the UK and have heard that it is a great improvement and much easier to return an item.
All returns information is easy to find on their website, at the bottom of the screen to the right and selecting returns.
The create and craft club, is a club for crafters, this entitles you to 10% off their products and even special promotional events and products that allow you to have a much bigger discount, for members only.
They provide you with a metal club badge, with the Create and Craft logo, this entitles you to special events and if worn at craft events can help you meet other members and make new friends.
The club also provides you with free products, but are very few and far between and you have to pay the postage, but there are also some free downloadable templates or guides or instructions for members.
There is also an online craft magazine for members viewing only, this can be sent to you via a physical copy, a new magazine every season.
The Create and Craft club currently costs £20 (Feb 2014) for a year's subscription, but you get £10 credit put into your online account to spend within 3 months.
This TV Channel is great fun to watch, lots of different crafts and inspiration, some great products and tips, each programme is usually around an hour long, most of the presenters and demonstrators are fun, full of knowledge and are great to watch.
Something for every crafter, you can view this via the TV Channel, website and even the Create and Craft app on your mobile device or even tablet, you can set reminders on through the app for certain shows and a TV Schedule is there to hand, they also have a great page about each presenter on the show if you want to find out more.
Create and Craft has improved dramatically over the last year, I join the years subscription for the Create and Craft Club if I know that I will be saving more than I have spent, otherwise I do not bother. It would be good if they bought it back for 24 hours viewing on Freeview even if they did play more repeats, as it is a 24 hour Channel via Sky.
I would recommend this channel more for viewing experience than purchasing of products, to any crafter looking for some entertainment or inspiration.
Currently available on Freesat Channel 813, Freeview 36, Virgin 748 and Sky 671 (Feb 2014)

I was first introduced to cardmaking & scrapbooking by Dawn Bibby on QVC & since then I've become really interested in making handmade cards & selling 'crafty bits' on ebay. I rarely shop from QVC now as I find the prices far too high & the presentations too serious - isn't crafting supposed to be fun? Instead I've flipped over to Sky 671 to watch createandcraft.tv which I find a lot more entertaining although I don't buy much & view it mainly for the ideas & demonstrations.
As far as I know it's the only 24 hour craft channel although there seem to be many repeats & is also on Freeview (but not sure of the channel).
It was launched a few years ago & was presented by the 'big fellas' - Alan & Barry - but now is fronted by Stephanie with a lot of help from Nigel & 'the team'.
There are good & bad things about this channel I find
the positive aspects
- it's good to watch if you need inspiration & ideas.
- it's good if you want to know how to use certain products & learn new techniques.
- the presentations are usually entertaining (depending on the presenter & guests) & it's good to see their mistakes or 'lucky accidents'.
- they sometimes have products which aren't easily available in the shops.
- the shows can be varied & although they are usually based on cardmaking, they also sometimes feature scrapbooking, knitting, metalcraft & woodcraft.
- prices? - well this is debateable - sometimes they're pretty good but sometimes I've gasped at the cost of items I've bought much cheaper.
- overall I'd say it's good for beginners right through to serious crafters.
- they have an excellent website (unless it's 'down') & you can have a sneaky look there to see what's on sale befor it's shown.
negative aspects
- the postage really puts me off - £3.95 for a CD - come on! They do 'capped p&p' which is good if you need to buy a number of items but if you just want to buy the Pick of the Day/ Pick of the week the cost really mounts up. The trouble is, you sometimes need to wait a good while to see what else is for sale on the show before ordering so you may miss out on the item you need so if the website's down.....
- the voices/mannerisms of 2 of the regular presenters really 'do my head in' & I find myself being so irritated I turn off.
- there's a lot of emphasis & time taken promoting their CreateandCraft membership - OK, if you join you get 10% off each purchase but I'm sick of them going on & on about it!
- the call centre - I've had trouble ordering a few times because the nice person at the end of the phone speaks English as a second language & craft-speak as a third. It can thus get both time-consuming & expensive (unlike QVC they charge for calls).
- delivery - this seems to vary as, over the years I've had things arrive next day & other times 12 days later.
- returns - I sent a batch of mirror card back because it was scratched & had to wait nearly 3 weeks for a refund - again phoning customer service was difficult to get through to & didn't seem to understand my query.
- a great site in that they sell staple products for the avid cardmaker as well as introducing new & refreshing ones.
- demonstrations are usually informative, clear & we're given good tips by experts.
- the shows can be lively, funny, even silly which make it entertaining.
- Having watched it over the years my tip is to check the internet before a live show, decide what to order & use the capped p&p to stock up essential items as well as the featured item/s which may well appeal. This way you can also save on phone calls & time hanging on the phone.
overall opinion
- one of a kind really & if you like your crafting then it's well worth having a good look at this channel.
