Michael Harrington occupies an increasingly small space in the imagination of the contemporary Left. I think this is a shame; for, Harrington prophesized our moment, when the Left would have to face the possibility of the failure of its failure, that is to say, the possibility of success, and confront real opportunity for social and political change. Yet Harrington knew that to "confront the possibility of political power…in no way guarantees that the Next Left will successfully respond to the opening" (1). Indeed, many of his writings are characterized by a struggle to "forestall such a failure and, in some small way, to help the Next Left seize its coming opportunity" (1). In this sense, Harrington is a cautious prophet, telling us what will happen if we will fail. The grammatico-rhetorical form of such prophecy is future-past or post-anterior. So, in this short essay, I propose to discuss three possible future-pasts of the Next Left as described by Harrington in his 1987 book, appropriately titled, The Next Left: The History of a Future.
Harrington writes that "the next Left could fail for a number of reasons…"
I. "…because its political base is eroded by the very evolution of society;" (10)
Spinoza knew that it would be impossible to end tyranny simply be chopping off the head of the tyrant. The body must desire freedom. For Harrington, the first possible failure of the Next Left involves the triumph of incessant sadness—where sadness is defined precisely in the Spinozist sense as limited thought that stalls out around old solutions and the accompanying affect of powerlessness. Something about his point seems to ring more true to my generation—which awakened in the mass convergence protest of Seattle in 1999. For many of us, Seattle represented a turning point, a challenge to the hegemonic order of global capitalism and empire. In the wake of the triumph of the Obama campaign can we still speak of the erosion of the political desire of the Left? I think so. Harrington is not simply referring to a political realignment of the Democratic Party or even of the Red/Blue map that we are all too familiar with. For the Left to be "a mighty historic and democratic force," requires more than an ideological shift among key demographic populations. We must effect a profound and fundamental transformation at every level of social organization toward democratic participation, self-organization and direct action. Through such transformations the social base of the Next Left will emerge in the process of becoming the historic force that we hope it will have been.
Harrington also predicted that the Next Left could fail…
II. "…because it does not understand that a radical increase in popular participation in economic and social, as well as political, decisions is a practical necessity" (10).
That is to say,
"the Left could also fail because it does not understand its distinctive role in coping with the radical future now underway. It is not simply the proponent of economic planning, of public priorities as opposed to private profit, of a new productivity through tapping the suppressed creativity of the people. It is for these things in a unique way: through the transfer of power to men and women at the base, to 'ordinary' citizens" (12).
Harrington's point is well-taken, especially in the dawning era of Obama. While it is important to protect the right to participation in the current space of popular political decisions, we must push for democratic governance of economic and social matters. In this sense, we must find ways to implement non-reformist reforms, that is to say, reforms that fundamentally open social and economic organization to increasingly democratic control. In the abstract, this sounds difficult. Yet I see this happening more and more often at the level of the shop-floor, for example, through the model of solidarity unionism. In this model, workers build relationships of trust and rely on each other in order to take collective action (with or without being recognized as an exclusive bargaining unit). As the balance of power between workers and bosses is altered through the process of self-organization and direct action, workers increasingly feel their power-- they feel the falling away of isolation and helplessness that characterizes not only the modern corporation, but also many modern business unions.
Finally, the Next Left could fail…
III."…simply because it isn't sufficiently creative and/or lucky" (10).
And why should we leave it up to chance? Harrington, does not propose a little luck "as flippant truism but as the result of careful reading of the ideological history of the leftist surge of the thirties…[In this case] the West improvised, muddled, and blundered its way into the greatest expansion ever" (16). I think the point here is simply that even under favorable conditions, history is never determined in advance (i.e. as a structural necessity) and a good "idea or two might nudge the odds a bit" (16).
I do not know whether or not Harrington was fan of Billy Bragg but I am probably sure that he would have laughed at idea of "Waiting for the Great Leap Forward." In The Next Left, and many other texts, Michael Harrington was concerned with describing "a future, not the future" (17). In this formulation, the present consists of multiple futures the most favorable, democratic, or humane of which are not guaranteed in advance but must be made. I believe that this is a profound and important contribution to the history of ideas in the Left—which we may (or may not) do well to recognize in our own present.

DaimlerChrysler, the German-American car company, is poised to buy a 40 per cent stake in the McLaren Formula One racing team from Mansour Ojjeh, a Saudi billionaire, and Ron Dennis, head of the grand prix team.
DaimlerChrysler is believed to be offering about ?300 million ($690 million) in a deal which would include the stake in the Formula One team and substantial shareholdings in other businesses owned by Tag Group.
The McLaren team is owned by Tag McLaren International, which is 60 per cent owned by the Tag Group, the company controlled by Mansour and his brother Abdul Aziz. Ron Dennis is believed to have the remaining 40 per cent.
The car maker is said to be keen to buy 100 per cent of Tag Electronic systems, which makes mobile communication and control systems for grand prix cars, and a stake in McLaren Composites, which designs high-tech materials for racing cars.
DaimlerChrysler yesterday confirmed to Bloomberg News that it has an option over the shares, and terms of the purchase will be revealed when the details have been completed.
Last Friday the two companies announced a long-rumoured ?130 million joint venture to build a Mercedes super sports car capable of almost 320km/h.
The deal would be the biggest investment by a car maker in an existing Formula One team. It would dwarf the ?50m that Ford paid Britain's Jackie Stewart last month for the Stewart Formula One team. Mercedes, owned by DaimlerChrysler, returned to Formula One in 1994 after a self-imposed 40-year exile.
DaimlerChrysler is also in talks to increase its stake in Ilmor Engineering, the Northampton company which designs and builds engines for the McLaren Mercedes team. Mercedes bought a 25 per cent stake in Ilmor in 1994. But the company, which pumps more than ?35m each year into Ilmor to develop engines, is keen to take greater control.

Southwest Black Bean Couscous Salad
Serves 1
This can be made hot or cold.
1/4 cup (cooked and dried) black beans
1/4 cup couscous
1 teaspoon dried bell pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
1/2 teaspoon dried tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon onion flakes
1 packet True Lime
At home: combine all of the dry ingredients in a zip locking plastic bag.
In camp: add just enough water to cover the salad. Allow to rehydrate.Aug 26, 2008 at 12:29 pm #1448618
Hmmm…without the cumin I'd eat it! Maybe that is my lunch for this weekend :-)Aug 26, 2008 at 12:36 pm #1448620
Maybe a bit of sage instead??Aug 26, 2008 at 12:59 pm #1448625

thanks for the recipe, dicentra. sounds good…speaking of recipes. does anyone out there get backpacker magazine also? does it drive you crazy when they put in a recipe that calls for canned anything or fresh anything??…i can't see myself carrying all that weight. alot of the recipes can be made lighter by using the dried version of ingredients. just separate out things that take longer to rehydrate,adding just enough water, then adding slightly less water then what the recipe calls for. works just fine..Aug 26, 2008 at 1:17 pm #1448629
Yep, know what you mean! The old "put a can of drained beans in a bag to take with you". Eek, I'll just take dried beans!
Di, I am thinking a pack of salsa would be good added :-DAug 26, 2008 at 1:18 pm #1448630
Victoria, what you are talking about is a HUGE part of how One Pan Wonders got started!! :)Aug 26, 2008 at 6:28 pm #1448685
Dicentra – I just made this, because I like to test the recipes as soon as I see them, so I'll know if I can add them to my repertoire. This one is very good. I decided to play with it a little to get a stronger taste and tossed in one of those little packets of balsamic vinegar from minimus.biz. Zowies! Even better!
Off-topic PS – I read your trip report of your backpack trip to Lake Valhalla on the nwhikers site. You camped very near "Burns Butte" at the south end of the lake where Mr. B and I were married. It's a wonderful lake.Aug 26, 2008 at 7:07 pm #1448690

It drives me crazy too. I try to avoid cans for several reasons. It isn't just that they are heavy but I don't want to have to deal with sharp can lids either.
Also in many of the areas where we backpack and paddle there are "can and bottle" bans with hefty fines (which I actually have seen enforced in places like Algonquin Provincial Park here in Ontario). I wish more areas would adopt those types of policies.Aug 26, 2008 at 8:08 pm #1448696
If only it had mushrooms in it ;-) Hehheh!
I love the balsamic vinegar packets. Yum!
What a pretty place you got married at!Aug 26, 2008 at 8:48 pm #1448701
You guys are too funny!!!
Do I need to write up a different recipe using mushrooms and balsamic vinegar? Sounds kinda good, actually.Aug 27, 2008 at 7:32 am #1448739
Just don't offer Kathleen any with shrooms in it ;-)Aug 27, 2008 at 8:00 am #1448746
I was going to be polite and not mention that I don't care for cumin, either (can you believe it, Sarah, we have the same excellent, discriminating taste on something?!), but since you're playing dirty by suggesting mushrooms, well….Aug 27, 2008 at 9:06 am #1448762
So you're saying I shouldn't bring back Mushroom Madness Mondays?? LOL!!!Aug 27, 2008 at 9:20 am #1448766
If you left in the word Madness it would at least be defined correctly!
I do like the concept of a sturdy salad for lunch that can be hydrated on the hoof without revving up a stove. Cheese and crackers is getting pretty old. A whole new world of possibilities here: mix and match with dried beans (hooray for Harmonyhousefoods.com), dried veggies, and a starch of some sort, such as couscous, ramen, quinoa, bulger?, plus favorite seasonings.
I'm going to dig out my Freezerbagcooking book and check your Onepanwonders site again to wake up my creative genius. Assuming there ever was one!Aug 27, 2008 at 9:35 am #1448771
I posted a lentil salad recipe for you. Lots more on the site. :)Aug 27, 2008 at 12:31 pm #1448806
I couldn't resist ;-) Btw…Ldyblde took one of the containers of shrooms – she enjoyed them!
I am hoping my recipes for lunches work this weekend :-) If they do, I will post them! I took Di's recipe and took it 180* – no cumin and I used lentils (and shallots). And salsa! Yum!Aug 27, 2008 at 12:39 pm #1448808
What containers of mushrooms??
You gonna post the recipe?Aug 27, 2008 at 12:58 pm #1448814
Well, that's a long story. I sent off for Harmonyhousefoods.com's pantry special of 16 veggies. Only it came with 15 veggies and one container of fungus. I packed the fungus containers (2 – I bought 2 sets) in my car for over a year until I finally met up with Sarah at the Trailsfest in July and handed them off to her. She gave one to Ladyblade. They thought I was being nice. I was feeling guilty for giving them to them instead of throwing them out.
Here's a great idea – next time anyone posts a recipe with fungus as an ingredient, they could suggest an alternative, such as dehydrated carrots, which taste better anyway. I told you it was a great idea.Aug 27, 2008 at 1:14 pm #1448817
Laurie Ann MarchMember
@laurie_annLocale: Ontario, Canada
Kathleen – there is also the Citrus Lentil Salad recipe on http://www.wildernesscooking.com. That one makes a great trail lunch (no cooking) and it is fungus free.Aug 27, 2008 at 1:30 pm #1448820
Thanks, Laurie. What a relief! I will probably try it tonight when I also make Dicentra's corn and lentil salad. Since I have the ingredients in dehydrated form already, I'll just guess on the quantities when I make it and then rehydrate it. At least I don't have to wonder what's for lunch at work for a few days. I love this testing!Aug 27, 2008 at 1:47 pm #1448825
That is exactly how I test a lot of my FBC style recipes! LOL. Makes lunches easy!Aug 27, 2008 at 4:07 pm #1448863

Yep! I do it as well……and make Ford eat them as well ;-) I'll miss him once school starts up again. He will try nearly anything!Aug 27, 2008 at 9:04 pm #1448905

Does anyone use a wheel and not use cockpit view???
I try it, and to be honest I think the dash/hood/roof view (depending on game) is more realistic. Sure you dont have the A-pillar in your way, but if you think about it, why would you need the steering wheel and hands on the screen if you have a steering wheel and your hands right in front of you? Thats what bothers me, if you wan to make the in-car view more realistic, lose the wheel and hands.

Staying on topic apparently isnt. All of you jacked that guy's thread about a particular car and whether or not it has cockpit view, then you guys went on to a bickering match on which view is better and where exactly each camera is located on a car.
I just want to know who uses what view with their wheels, and why.
Re: Does anyone use a wheel and not use cockpit view???
"Bumper cam" view is better than the other views. It's a well known fact, which is why I use it. It gives me the edge I need to defeat my opponents...
For me, the bumper cam is part of what makes GT so special. I've used it since I first played GT3 in 2001, and I feel most comfortable using it. I know exactly where each part of my car is at any given time, and I get the bonus of a giant mirror. In any other sim I use the cockpit view, but when I want to go fast in GT, I use the bumper cam.
Re: Does anyone use a wheel and not use cockpit view???
I Think we should rediscuss it every month, so no one will need to do a pesky search or any reading. This has been argued about at least 5-10 times in the last 2 years. Some one will undoubtedly post a new thread on it within 2 days. Then we can all start this same discussion over again, and again, and again, and again..........................................................
The funny thing is, no one will ever resolve the issue. Racers that prefer Bumper cam will go with that. Cockpit view drivers will stick with their preferred view, Roof view drivers will swear it is the best, Chase view drivers will.....................................
Re: Does anyone use a wheel and not use cockpit view???
There is no "Best" ... only personal preference
I use interior (cockpit view) when I'm a leg up on the AI in an event and/or I'm out for a Sunday drive. I feel it adds just a bit of realism, especially with the detailed renderings, working gauges etc. I used to use this view when I started racing online in Intermediate events, then switched to "chase view" when I started doing the Pro online events simply because I was better able to see the others cars around me and better judge proximity ... all just an attempt to minimize contact. I think there are pros and cons to each view and the best one is totally subjective

Tiger Woods Retains Allure Even After Losing No. 1 Rank, Titles
Tiger Woods's status as a drawcard appears safe, even if the golf titles and top ranking are gone.
Woods relinquished his last remaining championship yesterday at the Australian Masters, a final-round charge at the Victoria Golf Club failing to prevent him from finishing a calendar year without a tournament win for the first time.
Following a year of personal and professional upheaval that included divorce and the loss of sponsors and his record run atop the golf rankings, the Melbourne event was well placed as a barometer of Woods's appeal, tournament promoters said.
"From what we've seen he's lost none of his ability to pull a crowd," Tony Roosenburg, who's promoted golf events including the Australian PGA Championship for 30 years, said in an interview. "At the end of the day these tournaments are still built around Tiger. If anything, his troubles made him more interesting because he seems more human."
Less than two weeks after winning the 2009 Masters at nearby Kingston Heath, Woods entered a turbulent 12 months that began with a single-car accident outside his Florida home in the early hours of Nov. 27.
Since then, the 14-time major champion admitted to repeated marital infidelity, leading to the end of his marriage to Elin Nordegren and the loss of sponsors including Accenture Plc and Procter & Gamble Co.'s Gillette razors. His 281-week run atop the Official World Golf Ranking ended Nov. 1, England's Lee Westwood taking over.
Fourth Place
That didn't deter fans who followed Woods at the Victoria Golf Club in their thousands, even as he struggled with his putting in the first three rounds before rallying with a 6- under-par 65 to secure a fourth-place finish, three shots off the lead.
For David and Sandra Whitburn, retirees from Sydney who said they regularly attend PGA Tour of Australasia events in their home city, Woods was the main reason they'd made the trip for their first tournament in Melbourne.
"He's still the big attraction," David Whitburn said as the couple made their way to grandstand seats at the 18th hole. "We didn't come in 2009 and didn't want to miss out again."
Last year, local golfer Kieran Pratt watched Woods's win at Kingston Heath. Two days ago, the 22-year-old found himself playing alongside the American in only his third round as a professional after matching him with scores of 69 and 72 to make the cut.
Just sharing the practice range with Woods would have been thrill enough, Pratt said after outscoring him by one shot during their round together.
'Unreal' Experience
"I saw him walking on the range on day one and it's just unreal seeing him," Pratt said. "I've seen him so much on TV, and there he was. He's got such an aura around him. To play with him was really cool."
To be sure, Woods's second straight appearance at the Masters didn't generate the same buzz as last year, when his first tournament in Australia since 1998 prompted tickets to sell out six weeks in advance.
His arrival and pre-tournament press conference were broadcast live on national television and the opening round began with traffic jams around Kingston Heath, where more than 95,000 fans attended the tournament's four days. This year, the helicopters that had tracked his movements were absent and about 62,000 turned up at the Victoria Golf Club.
"We all acknowledge that last year was unique," said David Rollo, director of golf at IMG Australia, which owns and promotes the Masters. "Tiger hadn't been here for 11 years. Getting him back as the defending champion was a real boost."
'Swollen Crowds'
Australian golfer Stuart Appleby thanked the galleries at the presentation ceremony after winning the tournament yesterday on 10-under-par, one and two shots, respectively, ahead of his compatriots Adam Bland and Daniel Gaunt. Appleby, a nine-time winner on the U.S. PGA Tour, said he realized that most of the spectators probably hadn't come to watch him.
"The swollen crowds we've seen in the last few years is really great," Appleby told reporters. "I've never played golf like that in this country. By no means do I expect 5,000, 10,000 to come and watch us play."
The drop in crowds from 2009 is "more to do with Woods being back for a second year and probably again next year for the Presidents Cup," said Roosenburg, whose TRP Sports company is running December's Australian Open in Sydney.
Getting him back this year was still money well spent, according to Bob Tuohy, a former professional player who set up Adelaide-based golf management company Tuohy Associates in 1974.
Woods's appearance fee was about $3 million, half of which was paid for by the local state government of Victoria, newspapers including Melbourne's Herald Sun reported.
"He's still worth every cent of investment," Tuohy said in a telephone interview. "You take him out and the event just wouldn't have the same appeal. Obviously the guy has had some tough times lately but he's still a very marketable asset."

Terrence Malick Speaks
It looks like he can't do everything after all. Although Joseph Gordon-Levitt is appearing in The Dark Knight Rises, Steven Spielberg's Lincoln and not to mention helming his own directorial debut Don Jon's Addiction, the actor had to depart the latest film from Quentin Tarantino, MTV reports.
Although it was a bit part, Gordon-Levitt's busy schedule prevented him from being on the set of the currently shooting western Django Unchained. He simply said, "No, I'm not going to get to do that. I'd love to, but it just doesn't work." He went on to say he's been in contact with Tarantino and that "it was so cool to trust me to do this little part in his movie. I would have loved, loved to have done it. He's one of my very favorite filmmakers, and he was really supportive of me directing and that meant the world to me."
No word yet on his replacement, but the film also stars Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Kerry Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell and Sacha Baron Cohen. It will hit theaters on December 25th, 2012 while Gordon-Levitt will next be seen in TDKR this July, Premium Rush in August and Rian Johnson's Looper in September.
Are you sad to see Gordon-Levitt go? Who should replace him?

Cool Products That Were Banned Or Recalled Because Some Moron Shoved One Up His Ass Or Something
List from Popular Mechanics and Spinderfella.
skirted the ban by selling the metal tips and plastic fins separately.
For those trying to kill a few hours at work, Buckyballs and Buckycubes have been a classic companion (and they're great for making sculptures for the refrigerator). If ingested, however, the tiny magnet balls will snap together (as magnets do), often pinching intestines and requiring surgical removal. The ban moved into effect in 2010, but the CPSC is currently pursuing a stop-sale order against Maxfield & Oberton, since the Bucky products are still being sold.
taken off the market in 1994. As a result of the recall, some manufacturers began making double-stitched and double-zippered bags, with a safety lock too.
the CPSC has ordered 12 different recalls involving various hammock manufacturers, accounting for upward of 30,000 units.
recall about 230,000 of the famed toy in 2004. Descending rockets were also known to come back and hit people in the head, which I guess isn't really all that fun.
thousands of different fryers in the past decade.
See the rest here.

I can remember either my family owning or neighbors or friends owning 6 out of 7 of the products listed here. It's amazing so many of us have survived this long!ReplyDelete
OMG! I have had all of those except the Bucky Balls. I still have a fondue pot and a deep fryer, although they are gathering dust in the closet. I never understood why lawn darts are bad but regular darts (frequently played in BARS, where there's BOOZE) are okay. It's the man, trying to keep us down. :)ReplyDelete
We have a Slip n' Slide for the kids now!! But, yeah, they made it all "safe" with higher sides and a rounded lip at the end. Kids nowadays.. fuckin' wussies.ReplyDelete
I definitely remember getting bloodied up on the Slip N' Slide! I met a set of Bucky Balls recently and was very sad when my friend who owned them said that they are no more.ReplyDelete

Sophia: DiscretionMature
3 months later…
The crisp autumn leaves littered the city streets and a chill filled the air with winter looming around the corner, ready to creep up on us any day now. Business had been busy and my nights had been full and prosperous. The changing of the seasons had made a change in me causing me to suddenly decide to up sticks and move out of my tiny little apartment above the chip shop and into a town house on the other side of the city.
Mother, of course, had been ecstatic when she'd heard the news and approved entirely on the location, size and appropriateness of it all. I also felt better for the move as it meant that I was away from everything that had happened in the passing months. My flat above the chip shop was too close to everything that reminded me of what I had lost… who I had lost.
I cleared my mind, refusing to let his name to tear at my memories, and continued on along the pavement; coffee in hand and scarf wrapped tightly in a bundle around my neck. I blended in well with my surroundings, dressed as a normal passerby in the city, with no one ever considering what my profession actually consisted of.
Leticia had been keeping me busy over the last few months with constant bookings coming in from left, right and centre day in and day out. She had hinted that it was because I was very popular amongst the punters and that I always lived up to word of mouth, but I wasn't stupid and saw straight through her lies. I knew her real motives for keeping me busy: she didn't want me to find time to be with him.
That day… the day I was supposed to meet him, when I knew perfectly well that I wouldn't be turning up, had been the worst day I'd lived to this day. I could have just stayed at home, balling my eyes out into a carton of ice cream as my only means of comfort, but no… instead I was with a client. As my client did as he pleased with me, my mind had been elsewhere. I pictured the look on his face as he waited in that side street as his heart broke bit by bit at each passing minute I wasn't there. I'd hated myself for the pain I'd caused him but I knew that it would be for the best. It would never have worked out for us, even if Leticia had never stuck her nose in, it was inevitable.
My heels clacked across the tarmac in a steady beat as I wandered the streets, not quite knowing where I was headed. I recognised the buildings and individual little shops as I passed them and told myself not to take the next left. My feet ignored my wishes and turned a sharp left onto Boxer Street. The street looked just as I'd remembered it, not much had changed. The only exception was for the night club that had been lit up in flames months ago.
It was under repair and, by the looks of it, near to completion. Builders busied themselves in the reconstruction of the building and work was well under way. I stood a short distance away from the construction site and watched on in silence. Many memories filled my head as I admired the details of this particular place and I cursed myself for making the turn onto this particular street.
Just then, as if out of nowhere, he was within my eye site chatting away to one of the builders. I couldn't be sure if it was even him to begin with, he'd changed a fair some. Stubble graced his gorgeous jaw and cheeks, his hair was less styled and his general appearance was a little more haggard than I'd remembered. He looked as though he'd not been looking after himself quite so well and could really do with having a nice long bath and sleep. He'd obviously been keeping himself busy with the reconstruction of his beloved bar… or at least trying to keep his mind off other things.
I gasped a breath as his he turned away from the builder and he looked in my direction. I turned away quickly and returned the way I'd come. I couldn't let him see me, not for one second. I couldn't even force myself to look back in fear that his gaze would be locked onto me or, worse, he would be following me. I couldn't break his heart again, I just couldn't. I should never have gone there. Because the truth was… I still loved Milo.

Box had been damaged but contents intact..
Fast delivery and nice packaging
All excellent but haven't got around to using all the toothpastes yet. Will def. try the salt one again. I also like the free toothbrush and would like to buy it again. Thanks!
Received adorably packed, looking present
See message below.
I'm changing my rate from excellent to good on delivery only. This is the first time I'm experiencing a bad delay on delivery - 15 days already, from purchase date until now. This seems to be an isolate failure, but I'd like to reinforce my high expectations though. I'll be happier rating the delivery as excellent next time, as long as it meets its deadlines.
Other items like products availability, price, site's layout and customer care, therefore, remain all excellent in my opinion.
This is not stopping me to buy from you, Feelunique!
I have not received this order. I did report this to the company but was told i have to wait until tomorrow before they can do anything. This was my second order, my first arrived without incident
Easy transaction, prompt delivery and well packaged

Excellent service
Loved the discount (your Bday discount)18-Oct-2013I wasn't able to find the whole Weleda range on the website (for ex, no shampoos, just conditioners, and only the baby shampoo was available at the time of my order).
the products always arrive quickly,very happy with the service!
I love Feelunique.com! The delivery time and service is excellent...I am SO glad I found you :-)
Good prices and promotions and fast, free delivery.

Reviews for Budget in Munich
- All reviews 100%
Recent reviews
Most recent
3.6 Mediocre
Oct 17 2016
Cons: - Parking garage for drop-off is at least a quarter of a kilometer from the actual Budget store. This was never clearly explained anywhere. - The store location has only street parking on a very narrow street. Good luck finding a spot if you have questions about dropping off your vehicle. - After wasting 20 minutes trying to find the drop-off garage, I finally got an employee to ride with me to the lot. Despite having no other customers, they were very hesitant to help me with this. - The lot was not well-marked and extremely tight. You have to drive several levels down to find the Budget area. - I have a "MISCELLANEOUS" $200 charge that no one at Budget can explain to me. My complaint has been filed and it has been 3 weeks with no resolution in sight.
2.0 Poor
Sep 13 2016
Pros: - Location was good. - Return was hassle free.
Cons: - Car given was not as per contract. - When staff was asked that change the car, they offered smaller group than paid for. Even when asked that if they can check what vehicles are coming in so that I can wait but they could not advise me. - Insurance charges were more than the rentals. (They charged Euro 749.90 for 14 days and same product was available from Allianz insurance for USD 175.) That is the huge difference. Due to time has lapsed I had to take up the insurance from Budget. - Car Kilometers were wrong as per ODO meter and rental agreement.(Car rental agreement was showing 952 KM lesser than actual KM on the car) - Car was damadged on more places than shown on the rental agreement documents. It was pointed out to them but why customer has to go through this hassle. - I will not rent any car from Budget in future.
2.0 Poor
Jul 18 2016
Not using budget again
Cons: 2 days in a row we reserved a car and when it came time to pick up the vehicle, there were no cars available. All the representatives did was blame the website server and other branches. They wouldn't take responsibility and didn't offer any solutions. They simply turned us away with no sincere apology.
4.4 Okay
Feb 4 2016
Cons: The cost ended up being far higher than the booking cost, as other reviews have noted. Toward the end of the trip, I needed to change the date of return. I tried to call the office several times but there was no answer. I called the main office and they said they were unable to help. (I also note that the phone tree was entirely in German with no option for English, which made it extraordinarily difficult to navigate!) I ended up returning the car late and being charged a handsome fee.

Facebook calmed skittish investors late Wednesday, posting Q1 revenue that edged views, led by mobile ad growth, but per-share profit that missed by a penny.
Facebook (FB) shares at first fell more than 1% in after-hours trading after the release, but later were up a fraction. The stock fell 1.2% in the regular session, to 27.43. It's up 4% in 2013 but below the controversial IPO's initial $38 price nearly a year ago.
The most-visited social network reported earnings per share minus items of 12 cents, flat with Q1 2012. Revenue rose 38% to $1.46 billion, just ahead of the analyst consensus estimate of $1.44 billion, as polled by Thomson Reuters.
"We have seen strong growth and engagement across our community . ..," Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in the company's earnings press release. On a conference call with analysts, he added, "Long term, I think the thing that will drive our business most is getting high-quality ads that are personalized and have good content."
Said COO Sheryl Sandberg, "We feel good about improving ad measurement and innovating with key ad products."
Facebook said ad revenue rose 43% to $1.25 billion, representing 85% of total revenue and in line with consensus estimates.
But mobile ad revenue of $375 million beat Wall Street's estimates. It was 30% of total ad revenue, up from 23% in Q4.
Facebook reported daily active users of 665 million as of March 31, up 26% from a year ago and up 7.6% from Q4. Monthly active users were 1.11 billion, up 23% from a year ago and up 5% from Q4.
Facebook has rolled out several advertising products recently, as well as data analytics tools to help advertisers plan and manage campaigns for a greater return on investment. In February, Facebook redesigned users' central page to make it easier to navigate. It features larger photos and a larger platform for advertisements.
"We think Facebook is gaining critical traction with brand and performance-based advertisers for large-scale programs," wrote Martin Pyykkonen, an analyst at Wedge Partners, in a research report this week.
Facebook reported 751 million mobile users, up 54% year-over-year and up 10% from Q4.
Mobile users have led growth. Facebook's mobile ad revenue was negligible as recently as the first half of 2012. Now it's second to Google (GOOG) in mobile ad sales, though far behind. Google gets more than half of U.S. mobile ad revenue, says eMarketer. But the research firm forecasts Facebook's share of mobile ads will rise to 13% this year from 9.5% last year.
Facebook has stepped up efforts to make more money from ads, looking to better target ads to specific users based on data Facebook collects about a user's activity. And Facebook this month unveiled a software upgrade called Home, which gives Facebook prominent placement on smartphones.
"The number of ads within Facebook's mobile feeds has increased significantly and better effectiveness is driving the ad pricing up," research firm Trefis said this week.
Facebook, though, is getting less engagement from desktop PC users. In the U.S., Facebook's monthly unique desktop visitors in Q1 fell 9% from Q1 2012, says market tracker ComScore. And it fell 2% for desktop PC users in Europe.
Mobile growth seems to be making up the difference, however.
A large portion of Facebook time once spent on the desktop is now taking place on mobile devices, Doug Anmuth, a JPMorgan analyst, wrote in a research report earlier this week.
Facebook posted a "solid" quarter, Youssef Squali, an analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald, wrote in a research note. "The results showed a slight acceleration in year-over-year growth in ad revenue, reflecting healthy demand for social-based advertising, and a sequential improvement of mobile revenues," he wrote.
He said user numbers reflect "continued popularity of the service, particularly on mobile."

How the CMS Band Program Works!
Program mission
School rental
Ward-brodt Music
Rob Smith
In my experience, this has been
a primary reason for why students
want to drop band!!!
Why Band?
In order to guarantee progress and keep students constantly excelling, we need to make sure they will be participating in the summer program as much as possible.
This prevents the feeling of "catch-up" a student may feel when starting at the beginning of the school year. Starting a new school year is already overwhelming enough for them!

FBS: trade recommendation for USD/CHF
Tatiana Norkina, FBS analyst
The currency pair consolidated yesterday over support in the 0.9035/0.9040 area after it broke above the important resistance level in the area of 0.9020. Obviously, there's potential for further growth in the near future.
Ichimoku indicator. Indeed, the situation in both timeframes lets us talk about the power of bulls. Ichimoku configured very positively: Clouds are bullish, Golden Crosses are active. And on H1 golden cross was formed above the upper boundary of the Cloud, increasing the bullish signal.
On H4 mentioned resistance at 0.9060 is close, at which the consolidation or even short-term trend reversal may occur.
Technical levels: support - 0.9040; resistance - 0.9060.
Trading recommendations:
1. Buy - 0.9040; SL - 0.9020; TP1 - 0.9060; TP2 - 0.9080.
2. Sell - 0.9060; SL - 0.9075; TP1 - 0.9020; TP2 - 0.8990.

So, today is Arthur's Day, a celebration of 250 years of Guinness. Well, sorry, but I don't like Guinness and this is obviously a cheap marketing ploy by a large multi-national to drive sales of a declining beverage. Seems to have worked.
Me? I may just open that bottle of Leffe. Yum.

Guinness, world famous stout brewed in Dublin, Ireland. It's also the tipple every tourist to the country samples but I prefer beer myself! 🙂
This is a sign on a pub on Bridge Street. It's the one on the corner near Vibes and Scribes. What's it called?
Look up for unusual perspectives on ordinary scenes. I was quite happy with this image of a lamppost in Parnell Place, Cork when I took it. The signs are clearly visible and the upside-down Guinness logo catches the eye!
You have to wonder, what's more important, Guinness or parking?

nuun Ultrarunners!
Lisa Smith-Batchen
Lisa's best running comes in the heat, the hotter the better so nuun has been an amazing product for her to use and to share with her coaching students! This year was to be the year that Lisa ran the Trans Con to go for the women's record. The run has been put on hold but is in the process of being worked out for the future. That being said 2008 Lisa will run her 9th Bad water 135 in July, ( attempting to be the 1st women to run the race 10 times) the Furnace Creek 508 mile bike race in Oct. These 2 races make up what is called the Death Valley Cup and to date only 2 other women have been successful at accomplishing this. She will also do Ironman AZ. in Nov.Having 2 very small children her focus is to be the best parent and the best partner she can be in this life. 🙂 2008 will bring more training camps, coaching and races. Her best is yet to come. Lisa's favorite nuun flavors are Tri-Berry and Lemon Lime.
Check out Lisa's Dreamchaser Events.
Karl Meltzer
Karl is simply put "one of the best ultrarunners in the world". In 2006 he won six 100 mile ultramarathons (not a typo) and set four course records. For his efforts that year he won Ultrarunner of the Year award from Ultrarunning Mag, USATF, and RRCA, as well as the Everest Award. This year he was 2nd in the ULtrarunnner of the Year voting. In his career Karl has won 47 Ultras in 89 starts,with 22 of those being 100 mile trail races. No one on earth has won more 100 mile trail races than Karl Meltzer. This year he's going to focus on the Western States 100 Miler and breaking the Appalachian Trail Speed Record of 47 days, 13 hrs 31 mins. His Favorite nuun flavor is citrus.
Check out his blog at KarlMeltzer.com.
Brian Morrison (photo credit to Glenn Tachiyama)
Brian began running in 2000 to get in shape to climb Mt. Rainier. Shortly thereafter, Brian discovered trail running and running became more than just a means of cross training for climbing. In 2002, he ran the Chuckanut 50k, and he's been hooked ever since. To date Brian's run 30+ ultras from 50k to 100 miles and has been a consistent top finisher. And yes, he is THAT guy that couldn't muster up just 300 more meters to win Western States. He can laugh about it now, and he's hoping in 2008 that the third time's a charm. Brian's favorite nuun flavor is Kona Cola.
Kendra Borgmann (photo credit to Glenn Tachiyama)
Kendra increased her love-to-run habit to ultra-marathons a few years ago. She has run 18 ultras, winning over half of them. Last year her 50 mile Le Grizz finish of 6:40 was the fastest American women's time at the 50 mile distance in the USA. Her 2008 plans include races at the 50K and 50 mile distances, including the USATF trail championships, as well as to enter her first 100 miler in the later part of the year. Kendra recently quit her job as a private investigator in Seattle to move back to her hometown of Missoula, Montana. Kendra's favorite nuun flavor is Tri Berry.
Bruce Grant
After twelve years of racing Ironman triathlons, Bruce finally came to see the light and the dirt of trailrunning in 1999. Driven by the desire to continually test his limits, he holds the fastest Canadian completion time for the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning, has top-10 finishes in several 100-mile runs, and races about 1000 miles every year. He helps promote the sport to others by being the Director of the BC Ultra Trailrunning Series, a series of seven races showcasing the great terrain found throughout the province of British Columbia.Bruce's goals in 2008 include an early-season frolic at Coyote TwoMoons 100 mile, a return to Hardrock to run the clockwise route, the STORMY 100 in Squamish, the San Diego 100, and he is really excited about the prospect of a long, multi-day event in Africa in the fall. In between, Bruce will be taking in local 10k to 50k races in BC and NW Washington in order to get some speed work. Bruce's favourite NUUN flavour is Citrus Fruit – the nice tang is always refreshing and encourages continual hydrating, even when he is over 30 hours into an event. He has also found the addition of a Lemon-Lime NUUN is the only way to make an American light beer drinkable, while also providing the much-needed electrolytes of a proper post-run recovery.
Olga Varlamova
Olga never ran in high school or in college, and her first ever race was a 5k on mother's day in 2001. 2 years later she ran my first 50k in Central Park, NYC, in 4:47 and came 3rd – she's not sure how my love was born, due to ability to not feel any pain and keep the (slow) pace the whole way equal, or due to placing not far behind Ellen McCurtin. Her debuted 100 was at Umstead 100M a year later and she won in 18:46. As she moved to West Coast in the Fall of 2004.
Shep placed top at WS100 in 2005 and won SD100 (same year, in then course record). In 2007 she won the Cool Night Trail 12 hr run and was 2nd at Bear 100. Basically, she may not be blessed with much speed, but she absolutely loves trail ultrarunning, whether racing, volunteering or crewing/pacing. Olga is also a co-RD for the PCT50 and she is developing an Oregon 100 Miler.
Ashley Nordell (photo credit to Michelle Barton)
Ashley began running ultras at the age of 23, not long after telling her college coach that "3,000 METERS was too long to race." She placed third woman in her first 50k and after a short thought of "I will NEVER do this again," quickly forgot her promise and ran her first 100 miler (Western States) a year later. Despite a torturous last 30 miles with bags of ice duct taped to her knees, Ashley managed to finish her first hundred miler and has not quit a race yet. Since then she has finished (and many times won) more than a dozen ultras, including a win at Angeles Crest 100 in 2006 and second place woman (14 minutes off the women's record) in 2007. This year Ashley has a variety of ultra-marathon races lined up, including a return to Arkansas for Three Days of Syllamo and the Leadville 100. She currently lives in Mount Baldy, California, where she runs at elevation with her husband, the bears, and an occasional mountain lion. Ashley works as a fourth grade teacher down the mountain in Upland, CA. Her favorite flavor of nuun is Tri-Berry.
Devon Crosby-Helms (photo credit to Scott Dunlap)
In her debut season on the ultrarunning scene Devon won the Jed Smith 50k (with the fastest 50k time for an American woman in 10 years), Quicksilver 50k(age group course record), Tahoe Rim Trail 50(course record by 21 minutes), Napa Valley Marathon and Ron Herzog 50k. She placed second in her 100k debut in the National Championships and was a part of Team USA in the Netherlands for the World Cup 100k, placing 15th overall, 2nd in her age group and 2nd on Team USA, helping the women's team to 4th place. This season Devon will focus on her 100 mile debut at Western States and the 100k World Championship in Italy. Devon's favorite nuun flavor is Tri-Berry.
Scott Dunlap
Scott was a short-course trail runner before jumping into ultras (he won the 2004 Trail Runner Magazine Trophy Series for Marathon-and-Under, the largest trail running series in the world, clocking 14 top 5 finishes in one year). Since then he has run 10-15 ultras per year, winning a few, finishing all, and capturing everything on his award-winning blog, A Trail Runner's Blog – voted Best Health and Fitness Blog by Forbes Magazine. This season Scott will focus on his first Western States 100, and competing in the regional USATF Ultra Grand Prix. Scott's Favorite Nuun Flavor is Kona Cola.
Ty Draney
Ty Draney started running in 7th grade, after setting the school record for the mile in his basketball high tops he went on to run in high school and junior college. He started running Ultras while living on the Oregon Coast and has been trying to kick the ultra-endorphin-induced high ever since. He has completed over 30 ultras including the Bighorn, Hardrock, Leadville, and Bear 100's in one summer in under 100 hours. This year his focus will be on trying out stage racing, getting in some serious wilderness runs around the country and improving on two second place finishes at the Bighorn 100.
i'm looking forward to working with these amazing athletes this season!

The Sleep Files: A Review of The Sleep Sense Program by Dana Obleman
Tell my baby that.
If you have me as a friend on Facebook, or if you've read the blog for a while, you understand that my husband and I are operating as sleep-deprived zombies attempting to run a business, a marriage, and a family. If you also fit into this category, it's very likely that you have attempted to provide us with advice and support of some kind. To that, I thank you. But none of it really works.
In a nutshell, here's our sleep problem:
The Caterpillar (darling, sweet Caterpillar whom I adore), will NOT be laid down to sleep by myself, my mom, my Grandmother, my dad, John's mom, any babysitter, anybody... but John. Sure, she'll nurse to sleep in my lap, she'll rock to sleep in my arms, she'll settle in the car seat, but once it comes time to lay her in her crib she jolts awake and screams. All of this is true for everyone but John: if The Caterpillar is swaddled tightly, bounced consistently (for about 30 minutes), sang to (she prefers the tune of Frere Jacques) and laid CAREFULLY in her crib (and no sound is made in the house), she will sleep.
Obviously this is not condusive to getting work done and the moment John leaves the home and it's time for The Caterpillar to nap (often), I (or my mom or whoever is caring for her) need to be prepared to hold her in our arms for 2-3 hours while she slumbers. It's just not working. Especially at night.
So in desperation and lack of sleep (especially for John as he needs to wake up 3 or 4 times a night to re-swaddle and re-rock her to sleep) I googled "how will my baby ever sleep?" and I found this:
Sleep Sense. The cost? $53 USD. Paid. (Like I said, 'desperation').
Basically, The Sleep Sense Program provides parents with the permission to let their child cry it out. Yes, it claims not to be a cry-it-out system, but let's be honest, it is. A gentle one, but it is.
As a parent who has committed to the Attachment style, I feel very uncomfortable with this in my heart - but my head, which needs a freaking 7 hours of straight sleep, says that it's probably worth a shot. We are currently on night 4 of the program and here is my review so far:
It's working.
Dana Obleman is right: The Caterpillar's problem is that she doesn't know how to fall asleep. That's why after soothing her successfully, we can lie her down and she is frightened and confused because she doesn't know what to do next. She relies on us to sleep. The Sleep Sense program allows you to still be her 'crutch' and she still relies on us to be soothed, but ultimately she slips from soothed to sleeping on her own - and I like this. I mean, it takes some crying and screaming in the meantime, but it works. The most she has cried has been 25 minutes which is far shorter than the 45 minutes that Obleman suggests may be what we experience in the first few weeks.
The Caterpillar's other problem is that she doesn't know what to expect. Everyone did share with us that "routine" is key to putting your child to sleep, but I think that there is a difference between a casual routine (which is what John and I were pursuing) and a regime. We're leaning towards regime: naptime now means nursing, closing the blinds together, reading the same book every time, lying her down, stroking her face, saying our key word (night night) and spinning the mobile. Obleman also has a few other tricks (which obviously I don't want to totally share because then I'm just revealing her "system") which we're finding successful.
So overall, 4 nights in, I am finding that Obleman's sleep sense program is a success. The 197 page book is informative and will grow with us as The Caterpillar grows, the video library is promising and will be helpful in moments of frustration, the sleep tracking app is great for watching her progress, and the hotline seems like it'll be a great way to understand more and chat one on one with the author. I'd say $47 well spent for desperate and exhusted parents.
However, if you have a system that's working for you, I'd say that the sleep sense program is not for you. It's a good program for us parents who have no clue what they're doing and a child who is reluctant to sleep.
After a night of 7 hours consecutive sleep (this is unheard of - we've only had this once and it was during her first few weeks of life) I feel rested and happy and The Caterpillar seems like she's enjoying life a lot more too.
Updated Note:
I found that the Sleep Sense program worked without a hitch from the age of 3 months old until the age 9 or 10 months, but eventually The Caterpillar's sleeping patterns changed and this program as we were originally doing it didn't work any longer. So, we re-reviewed the book and the chart involved and adjusted the program according to her age and activity - once from 9 / 10 months until 14 months, and then she was walking so have done a new system from age 14 months to 18 months.
I have to say, I'm a satisfied customer, if only to hear these powerful words: ROUTINE IS EVERYTHING. Expectation is everything. Regardless of where she is (our home, babysitter's home, nana's home, grandma's home), if she has her routine roughly in place, she sleeps without a hitch. Everyone has asked me to share my secret, and the secret is routine.
I have also taken advantage of the phone-in hotline and found that speaking with Obleman directly was a major help and she gave great, specific advice for our family situation.
Even 15 months later, I would say that this program was a $53 well spent.

Well I can second the author on this one. Our baby is 10 months old and for the last 5 months he has been going to bed at 7 PM everyday. He almost sleeps through the night and wakes up at about 7 AM the next day. Occasionally, he wakes up and cries but this is very manageable. It seems to be WORKING!! I hope you all can try this program if you have many sleepless nights.ReplyDelete
Would you recommend starting this any earlier than 3 months? I currently have a 4 week old, but I'm having a hard time getting him to sleep anywhere but in my arms after nursing.ReplyDelete
