The Vendors' Bill of Particulars
July 31, 2006,
New York — Hoping to ease the testy relationship between suppliers and their customers, the Vendors Coalition for Equitable Retailer Practices has tried to codify and clarify — and alter — the system of chargebacks and allowances that has developed, unregulated, over the years as retailers have increasingly tested the limits of their clout.
"If there is to be a true retailer/vendor partnership, that partnership must reflect rules, policies and procedures that are tolerable to both parties," suppliers say in a position statement. These key issues, they add, "should be dealt with consistent with the law, reasonableness, and a true partnership."
"Claims of margin support must be based upon regular, detailed, signed reports, verifiable upon request, furnished by the retailer to the vendor, which accurately reflect sell-through and margins, based on the net price actually paid by the retailer, not including such items as shrinkage, employee discounts, etc., over which the vendor has no control."
In a separate commentary, the Vendors Coalition said, "If the retailer intends to claim margin support, then it must furnish to the vendor regular, usually weekly, reports signed by an authorized representative of the retailer from which the vendor can be truly aware of his its products are selling." Putting some teeth into the proposal, the vendors add, "A retailer's failure to keep accurate records and proper controls may violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002."
Vendors go on to say, "It is common for some retailers to base their net margin determination on the gross price of the goods purchased from the vendor, rather than the net price the retailer actually paid." In arriving at the net price, a number of items should be excluded, including the customary 8% discount for timely payment; allowances for returns, advertising or warehousing; and shrinkage and employee discounts.
"Retailer claims of deficiencies or noncompliance must be made in writing with an opportunity for the vendor to investigate, and to correct if appropriate. No deductions against payments may be made without prior notice and an opportunity for the vendor to negotiate. Fixed charges for claimed non-conformities must be based on the actual or anticipated loss resulting from the claimed non-conformity."
In a separate note, vendors point out the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which covers all sales of goods of $500 or more, provides that claims of non-conformity are barred after the retailer accepts the goods, unless objection is made within "a reasonable time." Vendors also point out the UCC further stipulates "the buyer has the burden of proving a non-compliance." Going one step further, the UCC bars a deduction without giving the supplier prior notice.
In a final note, the vendors say any charges or penalties must be reasonable. "Many retailers have a schedule of charges they impose for each specific non-conformity or violation of their re1quirements." But under the UCC, "such a specified charge is void unless it bears a reasonable relationship to the actual or anticipated loss resulting" from the infraction.
"Cash discounts may not be taken unless payment is made within the discount period as specified on the invoice. Payment received thereafter should be at the full invoice price. Calculation of payment days should commence from the date of title transfer, not the date of receipt by the retailer."
In their commentary, vendors said, "It is customary for many retailers to pay after the discount period and to nevertheless take the 8% timely payment discount." Additionally, vendors say, "Some retailers calculate payment days form the date they receive the goods. This is improper and contrary to law. If, for example, the terms of delivery are FOB, then the calculation of payment days begins from the FOB date as a matter of law, not from the date the retailer receives the goods."
"Authorized returns should be credited at the net selling price, that is the price actually paid, not the gross price before discounts."
Commenting on the proposal, vendors said, "Some retailers making returns which have been authorized by the vendor take a credit for the return based on the gross sales price, rather than the price which the retailer actually paid after taking various discounts. This is plainly unfair and inappropriate."
"Once an order is given, even informally or orally, and it is confirmed in writing by the vendor, who must then make commitments to fulfill the order, it is not subject to cancellation, even though a more formal purchase order may not yet have been sent."
Expanding on the point, vendors said, "It is the practice of certain retailers to informally issue bulk orders without transmitting a formal purchase order." Frequently a formal purchase order isn't sent out until the vendor has committed to the goods or manufactured them, the vendors note. "Some retailers take the position that until they issue the formal purchase order, they have no obligation to accept the goods, even though the vendor has spent substantial amounts to fulfill the bulk order."
"The practice by some retailers of putting moneys that are due on hold in expectation of a possible margin allowance, return or other chargeback is impermissible and violates the retailer's legal obligations."
Vendors said it is customary for some retailers to put payment on hold for goods received "pending negotiation or resolution of a claim for margin support, non-compliance or other chargeback." This, the Vendors Coalition said, "is not only unfair," but violates the UCC "and could lead to violations of the federal securities laws and the Sarbanes/Oxley Act."

** Rant Alert **
Why … do builders and contractors agree to come round and then not? Genuine question, I would love to know.
I need drainage sorted (really quite urgently in the garden) and so far had a surveyor, builder, insurance man and today a drainage contractor say they're going to come round AND THEN NOT FECKING SHOW UP!! Why?????? Not even a courtesy call to say they're feckwits and can't make it.
You're asking the wrong builders then probly.
My hubby is a builder and will always get in touch with his customers if he is going to be delayed or has to change plans. Maybe he is in the minority?
mind you, very puzzled over the insurance man, and the surveyor?
My OH is a heating and ventilation engineer and wouldn't dream of leaving a customer in the lurch.
Im a spark.
If l was self employed then my first priority is the person who's paying my wages. I.e the likes of yourself.
Keeping you happy, informed and calm is the only way to ensure im going to be paid for the work l carry out.
Any contractor who doesn't do that doesn't deserve the work. Ring around for another contractor is my advice.
Last springtime I asked for three quotes for a replacement wooden fence. The first was £1700 (incl VAT) and the second was £700 (incl VAT) and we took that. An excellent fence and what a difference in price.
Three weeks after the new fence was erected we got a 'phonecall about the third quote "When would it be convenient to visit and provide a quote!?" No wonder companies fail.

GE Dryer making loud scraping noise
When I turn on the dryer it makes a scraping or grinding noise. There is nothing in the belt, the drum glides are good and there is nothing caught in the trap.
It may be the bearing that the back part of the dryer drum spins on. This happen to me many years ago. I do not recall the details in replacing it but I believe I had to roll the dryer on its face and then remove the back panel to get to a mounting bracket for the drum. After this mounting bracket was removed, the bearing was exposed and replaced. Back then, the bearing appeared to be made of leather material. This was for a General Electric dryer.
I have fixed the noise...now it smells like something is burning....
Unfix what you just did. If something else goes wrong while making adjustments to the original problem, then it may be time for a dryer mechanic. You have to weigh the expense of his labor and cost of materials against a new dryer. I am not a dryer mechanic but I am handy. What did you do to fix the original problem?
Did you find out what was making the scrapping noise?
If you need parts for your dryer here is a good place to get appliance parts.
Have your model number ready.

May 6, 2012 at 12:45 am #1289594
Gregory SteinBPL Member
@tauneutrinoLocale: Upper Galilee
I'm living in really hot climate, so I don't take any gloves.
While thinking about possible pot handles replacement, I came up with two options:
1) bend spork's end of handle to use it as handle to pot ( will work with some pots)
2) use 2 tarp Ti stakes as handles.
for 2 I need to modify stakes a little, so I can insert them in the handle bindings on the pot side. Do you know how thick the stake end should be in order to be inserted in that handle binding of Ti Evernew 1.3L pot?
Thanks!May 6, 2012 at 7:27 pm #1875097
M BMember
why would you replace the pot handle on the evernew 1.3L???? you certainly dont need gloves to pick it up, its cool to touch, its perfect as is, allows you to pick up pot and control it and pour it with one hand while holding a freezer bag with other, and is probably lighter than anything else you could come up with.May 6, 2012 at 7:49 pm #1875101
Bob GrossMember
@b-g-2-2Locale: Silicon Valley
You probably don't need to replace any handles.
Handles generally get hot from only two ways. One is the heat of a stove burner, and it is generally underneath and flowing up the sides, so the handle area gets hit for about one inch. The second way is from the heat of the pot contents, and it radiates and conducts out through all of the metal.
What I found was that I only need to protect a little from the first way, so I wind little strips of aluminum foil around that one inch of handle nearest the heat. Cheap. Lightweight.

@tauneutrinoLocale: Upper Galilee
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear.
If you get evernew pot without lid and handles it will save you 2 oz.
So you can use spork or stakes which are already with you as a handle.
I mean turn it to multifunction item (or make additional function to already multifunctional item).May 8, 2012 at 3:53 am #1875493

@mrjonesLocale: best place in the world !?
i think im clear on what you are doing & want to achieve, but dont really see the point, it might be over complicating something that doesnt need to be complicated.
for starters, gloves arnt the only thing that you can lift a hot pot with.
i have 2 evernew pots, neither being the 1.3L (i guess this is what you are looking at), but i cant see how bending the handle of a spork is going to fit into this brand, unless this size pot has a different set up to mine or you have an interesting shaped spork or maybe you are willing to risk the pot doing some kind of chop shop job on it to make something fit.
if you are going to bend some ti stakes, its probably best if they are the same diameter as the pots original handle. bending ti probably means heating it up which could weaken it & changing its shape may make it less ideal for use as a stake.
you also mention saving 2oz by not using the lid or handles (no lid may negate any weight savings by using more fuel). may i suggest at least a foil lid, this should lead to less fuel consumption (hopefully less weight) unless you are using a wood fire, in which case wont matter as much.
just my opinion, but bascially, i would say… k.i.s.s (keep it stupid simple :^})…keep the handle on, maybe use ya sweat rag as a pot lifter, & get some foil for a lid.May 10, 2012 at 2:50 pm #1876368

I like your lid Yukio. It looks like you just pressed the foil around the rim of the pot, or did you make it some other way?

@delvxeLocale: Pacific Northwest
Denis, I have a couple of questions for you. Did you drill into the side of the pot to install the handle? Also, your bail handles are a bit smaller than most I have seen. Have you had any problems with them getting too hot? Are you able to pour okay? I mostly FBC, so pouring carefully is important. Do you ever miss having handles?

I read about adding cork pad to strategic areas of your pot on the forum. Sorry, I can't remember who to give credit to. I use a SnowPeak Ti bowl that gets filled up almost to the top for cooking & boiling water. I siliconed 4 small cork pads every 90 degrees around the bowl. The pads are slightly larger than fingertip size in diameter. They've held up to 2 3-day weekend trips so far.
I don't remember exactly but the 4 small cork pads don't weigh but a couple grams.Jan 11, 2013 at 3:50 am #1942787
Doug WolfeBPL Member
Well if your living in a hot area I'm sure you probably have a bandana. That's all I've ever used to pick up my pots/mugs. Ya just wrap it around the pot and presto you've got a pot holder/handle. I always wear a bandana summer-winter.
I'm sure some don't but anyways there's a cheap easy fix…Mar 4, 2013 at 4:53 am #1961129

Redmond woman hit by bus in fair condition
Suffers broken bones, cuts; possible witnesses sought
REDMOND, Ore. - A 23-year-old Redmond woman was in fair condition Friday at St. Charles Bend, one day after she was struck and seriously injured by a NeighborImpact Head Start bus near the Redmond Library.
The collision occurred shortly before 4 p.m. Thursday in front of the library at 827 SW Deschutes Ave.
Police arrived and found the woman partially pinned under the right front tire of the bus, said Lt. Keith Knight. Redmond Fire and Rescue medics arrived a short time later and were able to remove her from under the tire, taking her to St. Charles Bend for treatment.
Knight said the woman suffered several broken bones and cuts and was placed in the care of the trauma unit. Her name was not released, as she is developmentally disabled, he added. A nursing supervisor said the woman was in fair condition Friday.
Police earlier said the woman was conscious and talking with them before she was taken to the hospital.
An investigation found the woman had been seen in the grassy area in front of the library, Knight said. As she left the area, she crossed between two parked transit buses. The Head Start school bus, heading west on Deschutes Avenue, "was unable to avoid the accident," the lieutenant said.
The bus was carrying children in the Head Start program, but there were no other injuries, said NeighborImpact Communications Director Jason Carr.
As the investigation proceeds, Knight said officers would like to talk to possible witnesses in a white car that left the area before police could talk to the occupants.
Anyone with information, or who may have witnessed the crash, was asked to contact Redmond police at (541) 504-3400 or the Deschutes County dispatch non-emergency number, (541) 693-6911. Refer to Case No. 14-99353.
The 62-year-old Redmond woman who was driving the bus has been placed on administrative leave pending further investigation, Carr said.
Parents of the children who were riding the bus were contacted immediately to pick up their children. A mental health counselor will be made available Friday for the children, parents and staff, said NeighborImpact Executive Director Scott Cooper.

RIV wasn't an issue, but required the recall notice from the dealer. Once they learned how to do it, its a simple procedure. Bringing the machines in is another headache. My customs agent was a hardass and found the most expensive price to determine the machine value and maximize the import fee.
As posted, check out riv and the cibc websites for importing vehicles from the states.

Now, if you bought a used sled from a US dealer, and you were planning on exporting it home to Canada, I dont see why they wouldn't check their DB for you and provide a recall clearance letter. However, if you just walk in and say you bought a sled from Joe Blow and want a RCL....they may not be so quick to help.....
To answer your question....No, the "owner" cannot provide you with a RCL....as RIV states, it must come from the manufacturer with the BRP's letterhead (or an authorized dealers letterhead) as well as the VIN and a signature from an authorized person. It's a PIA.
I called some Ontario Ski-doo dealers and asked about this last time....they just laugh and say "sure, I'll get you a clearance letter....bring me your VIN # and $300"
How can we blame them when BRP discounts the same sleds sold south of the border in which they are made??

If BRP has to resort to terror tactics($300 letter), then it clearly shows how crooked low they are willing go, rather than be moral and practice fair pricing.

As always, there is more than the purchase price when considering a dealer, and things like this are another example of that. Get a dealer you can work with and they'll work with you too.
It also benefits your dealer to help you out - as long as you're buying another one.

Canadian Tire never charges anyone.....always free to the importer...RIV pays them
I sent in my letter from the states that has the red ink, This is Not A Recall Clearance Letter, to RIV. My sled needed manifold bolts recall, I had the guy get that done and sent that printout with work done to RIV also. They RIV accepted these papers as a clearance letter. As a bonus, Canadian Tire did not charge for their inspection, part 2, form 2.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
East Coast Metal Structures, Kenneth Osborne " Pete" as he is know. We contracted to have East Coast Metal Structures to build a 30 x 40 Metal building. Pete had the paper work filled out with the building description and also a deposit was required. We were not comfortable with this but he assured us that we would get our material alot faster, and that he had several other customers waiting. We left his office with a estimate on April 18, 2013. He contacted us the next day and wanted an answer, we said we were still making changes to our design.
He called again on the following Monday 04/22/2013 and said he had to have a check ASAP so he could order the material. We sent him a credit card check for $5975.00!!
We spent the next 5 1/2 weeks calling "Pete" to have him come to New Bern NC to submit for the permit. He kept putting us off and we were beginning to get worried!! He would tell us that he would be there the next day but then never showed up. The Craven County Dept even called him and left message that the other contractors could not continue unless the Primary Contractor ( East Coast Metal Structures) filed and paid for their permit. The other contractors were waiting and getting frustrated for the delay in construction!!
Finally on June 5 2013 we found out that he never showed up at the Permit office in New Bern that day as promised, but had filed Bankruptcy!!! He has our money and we do not have anything to show for it !! Where is our building??? Where is our Money??? I know we are not the only one affected by this Scam Bag! If there is anyone out there in North Carolina that has been Scamed as we have, please come forward. We need to fight for our money to be returned! We need justice for the victims!!
I am soooo angry and mad that this "Pete" has done this to us and many other customers. He speaks about being a Christian, he is the devil! He needs to be dealt with and the victims need to come together to fight!

All specifications were discussed, i.e. size, spacing of trusses, placement of windows, doors, etc. He said he could complete the building by June 3, 2013. He gave me a price of $4300.00 to complete the structure and said he needed money down to expedite it. He said the more we put down - it would help him get the building quicker. He had previously built a building for a friend of mine, and therefore, I thought he would be trustworthy. I offered him $1000.00 and he said he would need at least $2000.00 to go forward. We talked about not knowing him before-hand and he assured me that he was straight up. My father was present during this whole process and he even talked to him about setting up a display building in our area to sell buildings from. He invoked Gods name frequently, stating that he was a Christian and that he was 100% above board and trustworthy. I finally went to my bank with Pete and withdrew $2000.00 cash. A contract was signed with East Coast Metal Structures, signed Pete Osborne. I paid $2054.00 to pour the foundation in preparation for construction of the metal structure. I was informed via a recording at Osborne's office that he has filed bankruptcy and to contact his lawyer. This man has to be held accountable. Apparently, I am not his first victim!

Facial Skin Care
The elements, especially the sun, wreak havoc with our skin and the most delicate of all areas, our face, is the most often exposed. When I discovered that Rosehip Seed Oil contained up to 80% essential fatty acids and regenerating Vitamin A I immediately started working on creams and gels incorporating this wonderful oil. You will find organic Rosehip Seed oil at the heart of my face care range.
I also love adding precious oils of Neroli (distilled from Orange Blossom), Rose and Frankincense to my skin care products. Used from antiquity by queens and princesses, they add a little luxury to our every day lives.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
In usual Patriots fashion, the team is staying quiet about former teammate Aaron Hernandez and the murder charge he is facing in the death of Odin Lloyd. However, this code of silence apparently does not apply to retired or former players.
Former Patriots wide receiver Deion Branch is the latest to speak out publicly on his former teammate. Branch, who spent the last three seasons with the team, two of them as Hernandez's teammate, has not jumped on the guilty bandwagon yet and has come to his friend's defense. Branch, who also used to live in North Attleboro, told the Albany Press during his eighth annual Skills and Drills camp, "Aaron is a great guy and a great friend of mine and a great teammate. I love him to death, and it was shocking to hear his name involved in this situation. I truly hope and pray he doesn't have any dealings with it."
Branch, an 11-year veteran in the league and now a free agent, probably is not helping his chances of signing with a team by coming out and supporting his former teammate.
Branch also went on to say, "That's my guy, man….. It really shocked me. He was a great kid. Overall, I hope the best that he isn't involved with it and I hope he gets his name cleared, but most importantly I send my prayers and condolences out to the Lloyd family."
Branch, who is in the minority when it comes to his innocent-until-proven guilty mentality and is one of the few people still standing by Hernandez, is not ready to distance himself from Hernandez, unlike most that already have.
Hernandez has been charged with first-degree murder along with five gun possession charges and is currently being held without bail. Police are also investigating Hernandez's possible connection to an unsolved double homicide in 2012, which some speculate may have been a motive for Hernandez to murder Lloyd.
The Patriots were the first to severe ties with Hernandez. The team cut Hernandez shortly after his arrest, while we all assumed he would be charged with obstruction of justice and not murder. They soon went on to erase all memory of Hernandez by taking his jerseys off their ProShop racks and offered a free exchange for owners of Hernandez jerseys. The NFL went a step further by deleting all of Hernandez's statistics from their website. In the past week, Hernandez has also been dropped by endorsers Muscle Milk and Puma, all of this without a trial or conviction.
The comments by Branch are in stark contrast to comments made earlier in the week by retired Patriots offensive lineman, Matt Light. During an interview, Light told the Dayton Daily news,"I never talk about other guys, but I will say I have never embraced — never believed in — anything Aaron Hernandez stood for." The comment by Light is a better representation of what the majority of people are thinking right now.

Pancreatitis – What Most Vets Will Treat on the Friday after Thanksgiving
When I was a practicing veterinarian, there were certain things that I knew would always be true. Cats brought from the local junkyard would always try and escape, the full moon would bring all sorts of unusual emergencies to the hospital (think dogs on marijuana), and that we could never be closed on the Friday after Thanksgiving because there would be at least one dog in the hospital suffering from pancreatitis.
How could you resist a face like that on Thanksgiving? He sits right next to you, head resting on your lap, looking at you with those big sad eyes. Be strong and your pooch (and your wallet) will thank you.
Dogs do not need to be fed the same food that you are eating on Thanksgiving Day to feel that they are getting a treat. Offer one of your dog's regular treats or let them have mealtime when you are sitting down to your own feast.
Dogs that are fed a dry pet food 360+ days a year will not usually tolerate the sudden introduction of a large, high fat meal. Fatty foods like dark meat poultry, gravy and mashed potatoes swimming in butter could trigger a mild episode of digestive upset. While this may be smelly (gas) or even damaging to your rugs (vomiting and diarrhea), mild digestive upset is not life threatening to a healthy dog.
The bigger concern lies with the threat of pancreatitis. The pancreas is a small organ, but plays a big part in digestion and when it is angry, makes a really BIG problem for your pet. Pancreatitis can be life threatening and MUST be treated by your veterinarian. While pancreatitis can occur spontaneously without any identifiable cause, it is often associated with the ingestion of a high fat meal. Symptoms of pancreatitis include vomiting (usually these dogs can't even hold water down), diarrhea (may be bloody) and lethargy. The abdomen is very painful so if your dog is little, he might object to being picked up. These dogs are usually quite restless, pacing around and unable to get comfortable.
So, time to call your veterinarian. What happens next? In most cases, your veterinarian will need to do a physical examination, check a blood sample to confirm the diagnosis and check a stool sample to make sure the GI upset is not associated with a parasite or bacterial infection. If your veterinarian diagnoses your dog with pancreatitis, it likely will mean a hospital stay with IV fluids, injectable antibiotics, injectable pain medications and possibly even steroids if the pancreatitis is severe enough to be causing shock.
Some dogs will recover quickly with proper treatment, but this is not always the case. Some dogs may develop organ failure as a related problem. Some dogs may not be able to hold anything down, even with proper treatment and may need to have a feeding tube inserted into their intestines (tubes can't put the food into the stomach because this will trigger vomiting and further irritation to the pancreas). Other dogs may have to have the pancreas treated surgically because abscesses (pockets of infection) can develop and antibiotics can't penetrate the abscess, it must be drained surgically.
Mild pancreatitis may be treated on an outpatient basis, but this is less common than a required hospital stay. So, depending on where you live, you could be talking about a very large veterinary bill. Given the risk, you are better off to give your dog a big hug and play ball for five minutes extra than sharing your very tasty Thanksgiving meal.

Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe another year has passed. I feel like the older I get the faster time flies. I guess you really do have to sit down and enjoy it sometimes.
Well, what better way to start this bloggin' year than with a look back at what I've used in the last couple months. It's been a while since I've done a "empties" post. But I haven't really run out of a lot of stuff lately...
This is probably my favorite dry shampoo but it gets clogged constantly! Both these cans are probably about 3/4th empty but I can still feel a bit leftover in the can. The only reason I even use these is because it is the best dry shampoo I have used yet. I'm sure there is a way to unclog the can but it just seems like too much work for something that I need quickly. But I do love the way this stuff works. Once I comb it out, it isn't grey on my dark hair and it gives it a bit of lift so my hair doesn't look greasy and dragged down.
Brand: Big Sexy Hair
Availability: I bought this at a local beauty supply but it's available many places online, Ulta, and salons
Price: I paid somewhere between $8-$12 dollars for this but I've seen it at ulta for $18 I believe
Brocato Big Easy Volumizing Dry Shampoo
This is my second favorite dry shampoo. I feel like it works just as good as the Big Sexy one but the smell is not so good and it lacks a little bit of volume. The smell has this slight weird pee smell to it. I've noticed it a lot in dry shampoos, actually. The smell fades but for a while it does smell like someone urinated on my head and makes me a bit self conscious about it. None the less, I've had NO clogging with this one and after I finish my latest bottle of Big Sexy I'll probably switch back to this.
Brand: Brocato
Availability: I also buy this from a local beauty supply but it is also available online (here) and at salons that carry Brocato products.
Price: I think I paid $8 for it (with my discount) but it's $18 online
Aquage Color Protecting Conditioner
I really love this conditioner but the bottle is A LOT smaller than the matching shampoo which upsets me. With my long hair I tend to go through conditioner quicker than shampoo. I feel with my beauty license discount I get the opportunity to try many brands I would never know about. While I did like this conditioner, I'm already onto a new bottle of something else. My hair stylist did reccomend this brand to me.
Brand: Aquage
Availability: I bought this at a local beauty supply (where I get all my hair products) but I've also seen this floating around online and at Aquage carrying salons
Price: I don't remember what I paid -_-
Pinnacle Peach Vanilla Mountain Oil
I use this stuff up at work. Works perfectly for what I need. I don't find the need to switch this product up at all!
Brand: Pinnacle
Availability: Once again, bought at a local beauty supply and I've seen it online from various beauty supply places
Price: I think I paid $6 which is awesome for how much product you get.
LUSH Lemony Flutter
I love this stuff. It is always a favorite of mine. I use it for on the go. I put a bit in a LUSH sample tin and pop it in my pocket for the day. I just repurchased another thing of this but currently I've filled my tin with Qtica balm to use it up.
Brand: LUSH
Availability: I bought this at a LUSH store in my local mall but LUSH also has an online store
Price: The price now is $16.95 but I swear I paid something like $14.95 a year or two again. Maybe it's always been that much.
Always remember to save these containers! If you take 5 back you get a free face mask. :) It'll probably take me a long time to get one considering I usually only buy this and bath bombs at LUSH.
Alchemic Muse Lemon Biscotti Body Whip, Deadwood Sugar Polish, and Sugar Works Sugar Scrub
I have to say, Alchemic Muse has quickly become a favorite for me for bath products. Their unique scents and great formulations really make me happy :). I have to say, the body whip takes a bit more time to absorb into the skin compared to my other body butters- but it still is very moisturizing. I am in love with the great prices too.
Brand: Alchemic Muse
Availability: I bought these from her etsy shop here. She is closed down as I am writing this but should open again in January. The shop almost always has scents available.
Price: The Body Whip was $4.50 and the scrub was $2.25
I am becoming less and less impressed with Sugar Works. I have indeed loved their body oils but all their scrubs have a plasticy scent to them. I know I have a very sensitive sense of smell but it is unbearable and smells incredibly toxic. This scrub had the least of the plasticy scents but still didn't smell good. It FELT like a good scrub but not worth the headache, literally.
Brand: Sugar Works
Availability: The scrubs are available on the Sugar Works website here.
Price: I think this is the medium size for $9.95 and I also received 20% off my order for being a new costumer.
Essie Super Duper Top Coat and Nail Pattern Boldness Fix A Flat
I loved both of these! Essie Super Duper Top Coat worked very well as a top coat for me. It was shiny and lasted very well. I might buy another one.
Brand: Essie
Availability: I bought this at a local beauty supply but it is available at Ulta
Price: I paid $4, at Ulta it is $8
Nail Pattern Boldness Fix A Flat (AKA Glitter Food) is amazing for going over glitters or using to restore sinking glitters. I used it to replace the clear in a couple of my polishes and over all gritty glitters. I love that it has two uses. :) I believe I have one more bottle floating around in here but I will repurchase.
Brand: Nail Pattern Boldness
Price: This bottle was sent to me for review but it retails for $8
Urban Decay Lingerie and Galoshes and ELF Waterproof Eyeliner Pen
I believe this Urban Decay product is long gone. I bought it a while back on Hautelook and just recently worked my way through it. It's a cool product- I really like the concept of being able to add the waterproof option to my mascara since I don't normally wear waterproof mascara. But it wasn't anything to write home about and that's probably why it's no longer available.
The ELF Waterproof Eyeliner Pen is amazing for the price. It creates a nice thick, dark black line. The felt tip pen isn't as stiff as I would like and frays a bit but it is still an awesome product.
Brand: ELF
Availability: I can't remember if I bought this online or in store but it is available on their website and in Kmart and Target
Price: $1 How great is that price?!
The Vitamin Shoppe Biotin 300 mcg and Murad Anti-Aging Moisturizer
I started using this biotin (regularly) about a month ago. I know it's typical for biotin to take up to 3-4 months to kick in, so I know that if I'm not seeing WOW IN YOUR FACE results right now it's normal and I will keep using it. I started out taking one 300 mcg pill a day and slowly worked my way up to 3 a day. I will probably switch to a higher mcg after my second bottle is finished but I wanted to make sure this brand didn't wreck my skin. My nails, hair and skin have been good since starting this so I think I'll stick with it for now.
Brand: The Vitamain Shoppe
Availability: These are BOGO 50% I believe and you can get them in store or online
Price: $4.59 for one
Murad Anti-Aging Moisturizer has become a staple in my skin care regimen. I love it. It's moisturizing and helps with anti-aging but also keeps breakouts to a minimum. So what's not to love? Plus, I only need a little bit and it lasts me a long time. I just opened my new tube.
Brand: Murad
Availability: Either at a Murad Spa or online (www.murad.com, Sephora, or Ulta)
Price: $46

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
favorite Quilting Instructor?
My Friends, Sandy and Jane and Martha!! They are wonderful!!!!!
caryl bryer fallert and sharon schamber
Jinny Beyer. Jan Krentz
My three year old likes Elenor Burns
While I can NOT listen to Elenor Burns, I do watch her show (with volume off) and have learned a lot from her.
Our Quilt Guild is fortunate to have Carol Armstrong as a member. She is an inspiration to us all.
Eleanor Burns gets on my nerves too, but I try to remind myself she was a kindergarten teacher once upon a time. That's why she "instructs" like that.
Eleanor Burns, she is so much fun to watch! I first saw her on TV back in the early 90's, before I really started quilting (only a baby quilt under my belt). I thought she was crazy, like a kid in a candy store, and getting way to excited over cutting fabric. She gave me a good laugh. Now 20 years & many quilts later I enjoy watching her and feel motivated to use my rotary cutter. :)
LOL!Originally Posted by RST
I like Carol Doak and... I know there's someone else... uh, maybe later when the noggin's functional.

This was surprising! I've never used Muslin cloths for anything, let alone my face. I know this may sound ignorant, but I didn't even think about it. I used it along with the Liz Earle face cleanser and I love the way it gently exfoliated my skin and left it cool and fresh! What a way to start and end my day! A true mini spa experience :)5


text: Ok... So I was looking under my hood the other day and noticed that I have a coolant leak between my intake manifold and my driver side engine head... So when I have to pull off the front and top of the motor of my 1995 chevy tahoe 2-door 4x4 with the 350 TBI V8 to replace the gasket, I plan major upgrades!!! Because I mean, come on, when am I gonna have a better opportunity to do this? Anyway, I was thinking... I'd like to switch to some el-cheapo natural finish street legal aluminum Edelbrock heads for the centerbolt 350 TBI V8... which means new pushrods and roller bearings and camshaft because of the new valve train (I'm gonna get just a brand new version of the stock camshaft that I have though in order to stay street legal)... and I'd like to switch to a natural finish street legal GM performance parts intake manifold for the 350 TBI... and I'd like to switch out my throttle body for the bored out version of the 58mm TBI unit (LMC truck parts sells this and it is also street legal)... and a natural finish high amp alternator from powermaster... and maybe an el-cheapo gear drive timing system form summit racing parts... and some expensive ceramic coated street legal shorty headers (which means breaking off and drilling out a broken exhaust bolt that's gonna be stuck in my engine block)... I know that this is gonna be expensive (like new engine expensive, any one wanna start a donation?)... and at this point it's either fix this truck by just replacing the gasket, or fix up the whole darned thing, or just buy another used car... If I got another used car, then I'd wind up giving my Tahoe to my sister who hasn't treated it all that well (she's gotten stoned and driven it into things a few times) and I'd probably be getting a worse car than if I just upgraded the whole thing. I think that this truck deserves better than that though. This truck has been through a lot with me and even though I don't really like trucks in general, I've kinda come to love this one (even with all of the problems that I've had to fix on it)... So when I graduate from college this May, I'm gonna ask my parents to help me pay for/build all of this as a graduation gift. So do you guys think that this combination of all new (except the block and crankshaft) street legal parts will still be street legal or what? If not, what combination do you suggest? Do you guys have any of the same feelings for your vehicles? And lastly, does anyone in the North Texas/Dallas area wanna get to know me and want to help me build it?

I've tried less expensive vit E but this one seems to make a difference with the prescribed does whereas others I tend to take more before I feel the effects.
Been using it for 2 weeks

Odourless, and for 400 IU, pricing is pretty worth it. Been using it with Bilberry, pycnogel and collagen. I'd say it kinda works for me in terms of skin.
good for my skin

The sky is the limit with this mixJune 18, 2015
These are SO versatile! I used them originally to accent a project and had to get more. These are perfectly sized and fit together to make a design or even scattered randomly. Such a beautiful mixture of color and amazing quality. Highly recommended even if you don't have a project in mind, you'll find yourself grabbing these. They are seriously inspiring.

seeking advice for enclosed trailer purchase

Chris, only couple bits of advice I can give at this time would be these....
definitely get a GN. you will thank yourself many times over. so much easier to pull in any conditions. I easily doubled my weight that I pull and it's actually easier now (absolutely no swaying and such)
definitely want the longer tongue or something adjustable that can give you a little more distance between GN and bed rail. there were a few times in Moab where I was slightly worried about mine contacting the bed rail when I was offcamber turning around in those non-pavement lots. I have the clearance, but it'll rattle your cage a couple times when you see how close it can be.
that and you'll probably just want to get small rollers for the front axle to load it. Mike does this with his bronco and his enclosed. that way it clears the wheelwells no prob and just drives right in.
hope that helps a little

I can't tell you how excited we are about the new Dolphin Tale movie. Our obsession started when Hanger Prosthetics gave Jordan a stuffed animal that looks like Winter the Dolphin who is the star of the movie. The company also gave Jordan a book with Winter's story… how as a baby, she was swimming in the ocean and got trapped in fishing line when a fisherman found her. He saved her life by calling the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. The organization was able to help nurse Winter back to health, even though her tail fell off. Amazingly, she learned how to swim again – but in an unusual side to side way instead of the natural up and down style. The aquarium knew Winter would have long term damage if they didn't find ways to help her swim naturally. That's how a number of experts, including Hanger's Kevin Carroll, came up with a prosthetic tail for Winter. She wears her prosthetic tail a bit every day to keep her spine and muscles healthy.
Winter's survival and endurance is awesome and it's caught the attention of the special needs community. We're very excited about the movie. It comes out on September 23rd and I think it's incredibly important we make sure any and every person who is connected to the special needs world goes to their movie theater and watches the movie during the first weekend. There are some other big movies out that weekend, but none of the others have Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, Harry Connick Jr. and Kris Kristofferson. Have you seen the trailer? It's awesome:
Here are some other really cool links:

Where I stayed
Today we explored the west coast beaches and went to the most south westerly point of mainland Europe, Cape St. Vincent, with its old fortress, now a museum. Apart from a lighthouse there is little to see except today was a particularly clear day so we could see all along the coast.
On the way we stopped at Espiche to see if they had a post office and there was a little market where I haggled for the price on a tablecloth from 10 to 8 euros I was probably still done but she did throw in a pair of knickers as well which were rather large; never mind they might come in handy for hang- gliding.
We saw lots of hang-gliders off the cliff from the beach at Castelejo as well as lots of surfers; a very popular beach with some interesting rock formations not unlike the pancake rocks we saw in New Zealand. I found a heart shaped stone to go with the collection I have at home from all the places we have visited; we always seeem to find one on every beach
We met a very chatty parrot in Sagres who entertained us while we had a coffee and watched the fishing boats coming and going. Further along at Beliche there was an old fortress nearly tumbling into the sea. We wouldn't be surprised to find it gone in a couple of years as the cliff erosion here is quite severe.
We came back to catch the last of the sun on the sun loungers by the pool and to have a jacuzzi, we've been told to expect rain on Monday and Tuesday so we're glad we managed to get out and about today.
We have had fantastic weather on this holiday so far with almost 5 weeks of continuous sunshine so we can't grumble if we get a little rain.

This is a ridiculous case. The Recording Industry Association should quit harassing people like this.
#3 Jul 16, 2010
Wish the reporters spend more time on these stories. So the record company wanted a re-trial. Now having the damages reduced on appeal is not grounds for an automatic re-trial, so somebody must have granted them a re-trial--the basis of which is unknown.
If they are facing the same appellate court after the next trial, what do they hope to gain? Not in the story.

#4 Jul 16, 2010
This is still the most ridiculous thing I've heard. Who's getting rich here besides lawyers? Typical America. If record companies didn't pay performers outrageous salaries for their music, the cost wouldn't be passed onto consumers, and they wouldn't revolt by trying to get something for nothing. It's a simple as that.
#5 Jul 16, 2010
Mike, record companies don't pay salaries to performers so they're not passing anything on to the consumer. Any record deal or advance that artists sign will have the cost of recording, marketing and anything else the company does for the record, deducted from it. The truth is, for 99% of the artists out there, their money is made through touring and selling merchandise or product directly to the consumer.
#6 Jul 16, 2010
if you made a product and someone stole it from you then resold it for a profit, would you be okay with that? didn't think so. use your brain, that's what it was given to you for.
#7 Jul 16, 2010
I think you're missing the point. No one disputes that there was wrong doing. The dispute is the value of the songs. I have (approximately) 600 CD's, in my basement, that are completely worthless. Assuming the average number of tracks on each CD is ten, and the most I could recoup (via sale or trade) is $2.00 per CD, what is the true value of the each song? Are the more popular songs worth more?
If the average price of each of my "junk" CD's equals $20.00, and via fair public access, the very discs I own could have been had by any consumer, for the same amount that I paid, wouldn't that render the value of each song, and each CD, considerably less than the $2250.00 (per song) amount the latest court ruling recommended?
To take the issue a step further, if the common cost to legally download a song is commonly between $.89 and $1.29, would that not be the closer to the true value of each song? In either case, I am keeping a close eye on this case because I will almost certainly file a class action suit against the RIAA, and the distributors of their music, for placing a false value on what I currently own.
At the core, any settlement should equal what copyright fees are owed for publicly playing copyrighted music. However, should the judge award punitive damages, that would not be considered in any "per song" judgement.

So what you're trying to say, is when they paid Mariah Carey 27 million dollars and she recorded one album and they paid her to go away, they just ate that? I think you are naive. Artists do make most of their money touring, but they don't work for free in the recording studio. They get whatever percentage of sales they can negotiate.
#9 Jul 17, 2010
Mariah Carey is a different story. Remember, out of 90,000 releases last year only 2% of those sold 5,000 copies or more. Everything that an artist does in the studio and everything that the record label does to market that record, advertising, videos, etc is deducted from advances and royalties.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
On January 08, 2014, I ordered a UN65F8000 which is a Samsung 65 inch1080p 3D HDTV Smart TV. The item was priced at $2199.00. I was told if I did a direct deposit, 4.5 percent would be taken off my total and that I would receive a free 5 year in home warranty. My order no. is 1724. I have several emails from the sales mgr. giving me many excuses as to why I have not received my tv. Today, I read on this site another person was ripped off. I did some checking. The telephone no. 425-260-0683 is registered under Sales TV. The carrier is Sprint Spectrum L.P. and it is in the Time Zone Pacific Standard Time. Sales TV has only one person under it. I thought this company was a big company because I thought it was under StarBridge International. I now know it is not because it states Starbrige. So, I know I have been totally ripped off.

Systems East, Inc., a leading provider of comprehensive finance, billing and collection solutions, was established in 1981. Today, it specializes in the development and support of finance and collection applications both in Microsoft Windows and cloud-based environments. The company is headquartered in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State.
Through Xpress-pay, Systems East has experienced a steady, controlled growth. As a direct result of its continued expansion, the company elevated its security protocols to PCI DSS Level 1, the highest in the industry. Over the last several years, the volume of payment transactions processed through Xpress-pay and Xpress-pay Mobile, the company's integrated ePayment solutions, has increased exponentially. The dramatic throughput upsurge is due both to the continual introduction of new capabilities, such as the recurring payments functionality, and the attraction of new clients.
"As a payment facilitator, we regularly encounter sensitive consumer information, and respect our obligation to do all we can to ensure its integrity and security" explained Peter Rogati, Systems East's Director of Support. "Beyond the financial network's demand for a high level of security, our continued success depends on it. The processing infrastructure and company culture must both rise to the task and encryption is one of the imperatives.
Although many of its clients do not mandate Level 1 compliance, it is a requirement for the majority of larger financial institutions. The company therefore elected to meet and where possible, exceed the broader scope of PCI data security requirements.This included certification with Visa Cardholder Security Program (CISP), MasterCard Site Data protection program, American Express Data Security Standards and Discover Cards DISC program.
As Systems East researched encryption solutions for Xpress-pay, it looked for reliability, ease of implementation and cost value. Rogati noted, "The expense associated with implementing an additional level of security was not originally in our budget, but we were obligated to make a sound decision and begin implementation."
"I researched several different companies and Vormetric was the only one that was diligent in making sure that I was well-informed and properly equipped to make such an important decision. Its staff was patient, and thoroughly answered any and all questions; they really made me feel confident that Vormetric was right for us."
Xpress-pay relied on Vormetic's professional services for implementation, but according to Rogati, "They didn't require as many hours as first thought: Despite allotting three days, it actually only took a day and a half. Everything we needed to encrypt was completed smoothly and without incident."
Rogati pointed out, "One advantage to Vormetric was its ability to combine file-level encryption and key management into a fully integrated package. It really is transparent to our programmers and users."
According to Rogati, "Xpress-pay has experienced virtually no degradation of services while running the application: Once I became familiar with the solution and transitioned from 'learn mode' to going live, the whole system never missed a beat.
Now that Systems East is PCI Level 1 compliant, Rogati anticipates that the company's solutions will appeal to an even broader set of clients,including the most discerning customers requiring the highest level of compliance.
"With Vormetric, we feel we have the best product out there – not just that it was fairly priced, but the best-in-class solution to keep our own information and our customers' data highly secure, and with a high degree of control," summarized Rogati.
Vormetric (@Vormetric) is the industry leader in data security solutions that span physical, virtual and cloud environments. Data is the new currency and Vormetric helps over 1,400 global customers—including 17 of the Fortune 30 and many of the world's most security conscious government organizations, to meet compliance requirements and protect what matters — their sensitive data — from both internal and external threats. The company's scalable Vormetric Data Security Platform protects any file, any database and any application — anywhere it resides — with a high performance, market-leading data security platform that incorporates application transparent encryption, privileged user access controls, automation and security intelligence.
