The Kids Market

One of Packaged Facts' all- time great bestsellers, The Kids Market has been thoroughly updated in this all-new edition, which pegs kids' spending power at close to $30 billion in 1998.

Hello, I currently have 1 or 2 tiny niggles with my BMW.
Just wandering if there's such a programme that can be downloaded free or cheap to check for errors.
I have a cable which is 16 pin from a friend. It's been plugged in and lights up so I assume its compatible.
Any info as to where I can buy this software would be grateful.

How did Kris Allen win 'Idol'? 38 million votes from Arkansas helped
Full disclosure: I'm an Adam Lambert fan. A frustrated Adam Lambert fan at present, but a fan.
I'm also a Kris Allen fan.
I only waited until the end to vote for Adam because I was sure he could get to the end without me.
At any rate, Ryan Seacrest said just under 100 million votes had come in Tuesday night for the season eight "American Idol" finale.
He didn't mention the difference between Kris and Adam.
Last season, there were 12 million votes between David Cook and David Archuleta.
I wrote about that in my "Poor Kris Allen! Wrong guy wins 'American Idol'" lament, adding, "I'm curious about how many people really hated Adam Lambert that much."
An Arkansas native named — appropriately enough — Dave, read my lament and offered some perspective.
"I'm originally from Arkansas, and let me tell you, they have very little coming out of the state that they can all get behind. As a result, the University of Arkansas Razorbacks athletic teams are all but a religion there–especially when they are performing well.
"During American Idol elimination episodes, my facebook feed was flooded with Kris Allen comments from friends back home. If you watched the show, you saw a crowd show up to see Kris in my (and his) hometown of Conway, AR that is pretty much the entire population of the town.
"One of my facebook friends posted a comment after Allen won saying that AT&T had disclosed that 38,000,000 votes came out of Arkansas last night.
"Seriously, it isn't a hatred of Lambert that drove this, it's the facts that a) everybody like an underdog, b) church-going types moved from Gokey to Allen, and c) Arkansans enthusiastically support their own. It was just a perfect storm in Allen's favor."
He added a nice P.S.: "An avant-garde type like Lambert needed to lose, so he could have the creative freedom he needs."
Very true, Dave.
I don't blame Arkansas. They were backing their boy and I give them props for that.
The 38 million number from AT&T is interesting.
He's not the only one quoting it — it originally came from Fox16.com, an Arkansas news station, and was picked up by the Idol blog mjsbigblog.
Now Fox16 is reporting that AT&T is denying the 38 million votes.
To quote Fox16's updated report as of Thursday, May 21: AT&T says, "We can't confirm how many votes were cast in Arkansas, and we can't comment on the number of votes for any contestant."
Well. Wonder where they got it to begin with.
Actually, here's more on that. From the same Fox 16 link, just added later:
"CORRECTION: Based on incorrect information provided to one of our reporters, FOX16 News reported Wednesday night, an extraordinary number of votes came in from Arkansas to American Idol. AT&T spokesman Ted Wagnon told us today, 'AT&T does not divulge or confirm how many votes were cast in any state.' We apologize for the error."
I bet it was still around 38 million and someone is playing CYA.
I don't have AT&T but I always hear Ryan saying AT&T users can text their votes, so I would think that makes things faster than trying to dial 100 times and getting through once.
Of course it doesn't mean all of the Arkansas AT&T votes (however many there were) were for Kris, but chances are most were.
Dial Idol — where they keep "Measuring the busy signal" — has a funky map that supposedly breaks down by state who called for Kris and who called for Adam.
According to that info, New Hampshire – my state – had 600-odd busy signals on each of Adam Lambert's three lines, getting through on each line a little over 300 times. For Kris Allen, people hit busy signals in the 400-range on each line and got through in the 200-range.
According to the same map, Arkansas got busy signals in the 6,000 range on each of Kris Allen's three lines, getting through in the 3,000 range on each line. (Only about 600 votes total seemed to go to Adam from the three lines.)
Over on KrisAllenNation.com, there was a page leading people step by step to "power text" for Kris.
To quote part of the site: "Kris Allen fans can triple (at least) the number of votes by power texting. (I usually get 3000 to 5000 votes out in two hours."
It's now Friday, May 22 and I just got this e-mail:
"I am a student at the University of Central Arkansas in the heart of Conway, AR…Kris Allen's hometown. There was a newspaper article that was produced today by our local newspaper basically about how people could vote so many times for Kris Allen. I'm posting the link for the Conway, Arkansas newspaper as well as an email that was sent out through the UCA listserve that basically explains step by step how these Kris Allen fans or fanatics, if you will, were able to vote so many times. I thought I couldn't do anything about it even though I thought it was a disservice and unfair. I'm glad that I am finally able to expose the people and their obsession with being "put on the map."
Here's the link she's talking about: http://www.thecabin.net/stories/052209/loc_0522090002.shtml
And here's the e-mail she received from the University of Central Arkansas, repeating the KrisAllenNation stuff about power texting:

Subject: FW: American Idol Power Texting trick for Kris
I know some of you supporting Kris Allen, a great Conway guy, on American Idol. If you're not "into" this contest, you can delete now!
This following message was posted by Kris's facebook account. It takes a little effort before the voting night, but it looks like it may pay off!
Here goes:
Kris Allen fans can triple (at least) the number of votes by power texting. (I usually get 3000 to 5000 votes out in two hours.) Adam and Danny fans have been doing this for weeks.
Essentially, power texting sends ten votes at a time instead of just one.
• Must have a cell phone on AT&T. If you don't have one, you can pick up a Go Phone for about $30 at Target, WalMart, or Best Buy.
• Must have unlimited text plan.
Power Texting (note: these instruction may differ based upon which kind of phone you have!)
1. You are going to create ten contacts in your cell phone (Kris1, Kris2, Kris3, etc.).
2. Create a contact group (also known as a distribution list) and name it something like "Kris For The Win" and add your contacts (Kris1, Kris2, etc.) to the group. If you don't know how to do that, check the manual for your phone or go to the AT&T Support Site
3. Add the voting number for Kris (570x) to each of the contacts. At this point Kris has two numbers, so you can alternate – five contacts get the first number, five contacts get the second number. Do this during the show before the voting starts.
4. At the end of the show, send the message "vote" to your "Kris for the Win" contact group. This sends the message to the ten contacts at once. It will take a couple of seconds more than sending a single contact.
5. Now, resend or forward the same message to your contract group over and over for the next two hours.
Super Power Texting
Get a second Go Phone and have ATT give it a number on the opposite side of the country from you. This will let you vote for two hours in Eastern Standard time and then for two hours in Pacific Time.

I'm sure Adam Lambert fans were doing the same thing. Just not enough of us, I guess.
According to our friends at Wikipedia, the 2008 population estimate for Arkansas is 2,855,390, making it 32nd out of 50.
So, as Randy Jackson might put it, those dawgs worked it out Tuesday night.
California, for shame! Where were you for Adam Lambert? For me, for you? Not cool.

A must see while you are in Byron Bay. We had an amazing time on this tour as the guides were extremely organized, knowledgable and just plain old fun!! Were able to see some of the beautiful marine life (turtles, fish, rays, etc.) and scenery in the area. Have and will continue to recommend this tour/attraction to people we meet along the way.

Went kayaking with two girlfriend from Canada were all ages 24-25. Such a nice morning, unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins but we did get out and go snorkelling in a reef! Very tiring!! My arms were killing. The instructors were all super friendly and it was a very family friendly tour. When I finally settle down and have a family I'll bring my kids there one day for sure :)

Anna Garlin Spencer
Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931) was an American educator, feminist, and Unitarian minister.[1] Born in Attleboro, MA, she married the Rev. William H. Spencer in 1878. She was a leader in the women's suffrage and peace movements. In 1891 she became the first woman ordained as a minister in the state of Rhode Island. In Providence she was commissioned to develop the Religious Society of Bell Street Chapel which was to be devoted to the religious outlook of James Eddy. She compiled Eddy's views into a Bond of Union to which members of the new society would subscribe. She was later associated with the New York Society for Ethical Culture (1903–1909) and the New York School of Philanthropy (1903–1913). In 1909, she signed onto the call to found the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.[2] Over a long period she was a popular lecturer and wrote on social problems, especially concerning women and family relations. Her writings include Woman's Share in Social Culture (1913)[3] and The Family and Its Members (1922).[4]
Anna Garlin Spencer was born April 17, 1851 in Attleboro, MA. At the age of eighteen she began to write for the Providence Journal. In 1878, Anna Garlin Spencer married Reverend William Spencer. After twelve years of marriage, Rev. Spencer became an invalid. In 1891, she became the first woman minister of RI at Bell Street Chapel of Providence, RI. In 1893, she spoke at the World Parliament of Religion during the Chicago World's Fair. In 1903, she became an associate leader of the NY Society for Ethical Culture.
Anna Garlin Spencer had many accomplishments. She was an associate director of the NY school for social work and staff lecturer at the NY school of Philanthropy. From 1908 to 1911, she was a special lecturer at the University of Wisconsin and director of the Summer School of Ethics for the American Ethical Union. From 1901 to 1911, she also lectured at the Institute of Municipal and Social Services in Milwaukee. In 1913, she was a professor of sociology and ethic at the Meadville Theological School.
In 1919, she removed herself to New York. From this time on, she gave numerous lectures at Teachers College of Columbia University. She still remained active in a number of organizations that included many interests, such as women's rights, social work, and religious education.
Spencer's book Women's Share in Social Culture was published in 1913, and noted women's lack of equality at this time. She pressed the need for gender equality, especially as women were no longer shut up at home but were starting to become a part of the public society that once belonged exclusively to men. By promoting the "individuation of women," Spencer hoped to give insight into the lack of rights women had.
The Family and Its Members[edit]
Published in 1922, this book shows the importance of the family and its foundation. This publication was based on three ideas: that the family institution should be preserved, that it should be modified to adapt to the changes in modern society, and noting the change in family order. According to the book one huge impact on the family institution is society, which wants to control the family structure and influence the family to "conform" to social norms. Women are no longer silent in society; they are now recognized and play a role
Democracy once relied heavily on the strong educational upbringing of children (once the women's role). Now that women's roles have changed, women and their families have to find a new balance to still have a strong child upbringing. This solid upbringing will lead to a more beneficial society. Spencer hopes that society will move towards gender equality and decrease its influence over the family structure. Throughout this book, Spencer suggests ways the family can be more democratic and be strengthened by this new role for women.
Impact of Spencer's Work[edit]
Spencer wrote many scholarly books about women, especially with regard to women's work and positions.
For instance, she explains that girls only work a few years, from when they are old enough to hold a job until marriage. With the brief work experience, women are not taking advantage of education. Because women know they are only going to spend a brief period in the workforce, they settle for low-paying jobs and poor working conditions. She believes receiving an education only to stop working and stop using this education after marriage is a waste of the education.
She advocates that women return to work part-time after child-bearing. She also acknowledges women's right to independence.

Draper Equine Therapy® Quarter Sheet
Draper Equine Therapy® Quarter Sheet helps to increase circulation and oxygenation in your horse's hindquarters helping with better recovery and overall relief.
Product Description
Draper Equine Therapy® Quarter Sheets are made to increase circulation and oxygenation in the hindquarters during exercise in chilly weather. They are typically used on horses before, during and after workout for therapeutic relief and regulation of body temperature.
Draper Equine Therapy Quarter Sheets contain 50% Celliant® (Polyester) and 50% Wool.
Celliant® is the world's most technologically advanced fiber which contains a proprietary blend of minerals which have been extruded into a polyester fiber. Celliant encourages not only alleviation of pain and other negative symptoms, but is an actual improvement of the body's natural systems. Celliant's oxygen studies were done independently by three separate doctors and all tests came to the same conclusion: Celliant increases tissue oxygen levels which has been shown to increase performance, relieve pain and improve muscle recovery. A separate study has also shown a statistically significant reduction in pain associated with diabetic neuropathy, arthritis and other conditions caused by poor blood circulation. One key mineral in Celliant is titanium dioxide which is a photocatalyst, or light absorbing mineral. Electromagnetic energy given off by the body is absorbed (typically in the infrared and visible light ranges) and then reemitted into the body with modified wavelengths. This energy is then able to reach more deeply into the tissue due to the increased refraction and light scattering properties of the minerals in Celliant. In the tissue, the energy vasodilates blood vessels and allows more oxygenated blood flow to reach poorly circulating areas. The increased blood flow and tissue oxygen levels help muscles and joints combat stiffness, soreness and edema caused by aging, injury or arthritis. Products containing Celliant have no adverse effects as they work directly with the body to enable it to be more effective and as such can be used continually.
Made in the USA.
The Draper Equine Therapy Quarter Sheets are machine washable and dryer safe. They are available in charcoal with either burgundy or navy trim and in large or extra large. The large size is 49″ x 29″ and the extra large size is 54″ x 33″.

The most beautiful animals are often found at the distant edges of the world. Giraffes are easily one of the most unique animals to make it in the series. As the tallest mammal in the world, our designers had to come up with a custom solution to accommodate their towering legs and long necks. If you're spending a casual week on safari in Africa, you can find these bad boys roaming the open grasslands and the savannas. With no natural predators, they spend most of their time frolicking about eating every piece of foliage they can find in a 25 foot range. The Youth Expedition Short Sleeve Tee - Giraffe by Columbia provides a fresh perspective on these beautiful animals and the places they call home.

Partnership for smart cards is smart thinking
It is a welcome move by government to partner with the banking sector in order to extend public services to the people.
Yesterday the Department of Home Affairs launched its E-channel pilot project, which allows South Africans to apply for smart ID cards and passports at financial institutions.
By teaming up with the Big Four banks - Absa, FNB, Nedbank and Standard - the department is presenting a new face to the nation, and that is good news.
The government should be seeking out other ways to tap into private-sector expertise and functionality to improve its own performance.
Hopefully the nightmare experience of service in a Home Affairs office will become a thing of the past.
For years citizens have endured shoddy service, waiting for hours to be served. And thereafter forms would get lost, mistakes would be made in paperwork and the wait for a final document would drag on for months.
Let's hope Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba can persuade some of his colleagues to follow his example.
One quibble is that the document application service is not being offered by the Post Office. This might have been a smart move as the Post Office has branches scattered across the entire country, including in rural areas.
Greater official use of the rehabilitating Post Office might also help that institution transform itself into a modern operation that can compete with the private sector.
The millions of rands we are continuing to pour into the Post Office should at least be to the benefit of the people. The Post Office might be an object of derision to many, but political will and a sound turnaround vision could see it again play an important role in our lives.
The minister tells us that the new online document process will take two weeks from application to collection and smart card forms are already being accepted from citizens aged between 30 and 35 in Gauteng and in Cape Town as part of a pilot project.
Let's embrace the new way.

Get Stuffed
"What are you?!" Ami cried. She felt a heavy rough hand grip her shoulder, and throw her across the room. Ami shouted out, and then in pain, let herself collapse. A delicate vase had smashed, and a shard dug into Ami's hands, and into her side. Jeremy ran over, and touched his hands to Ami's arm. He pulled out a shard, and pulled bits out of her side. Ami closed her eyes, and listened. Ivory had run, Selena was still unconscious, and Jeremy was trying to help her. Ami heard slow footsteps behind Jeremy. A stone came high above Jeremy's head.
"No!" shouted Ami, and she launched herself over Jeremy's head, and wrestled with the stone, trying to keep it away with the burning pain still ebbing her strength. Ami threw her arms up, and around, and force feilds of almost clear rock appeared round everyone, protecting them. She collapsed next to Jeremy, who looked really scared. Ami put one hand on his shoulder, the other on his cheek. She smiled at him. Behind them, the invisible thing kept shouting, and bashing something on the stone. "Get stuffed." Ami muttered. Jeremy gave a laugh. Ami felt so weak. She leaned on Jeremy's shoulder for a moment, kissed his neck, then let herself hit the floor, unconscious.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - November 19, 1982, New Braunfels, Texas Da 13 an , Texas #75 ?•*ncropier, Iac. --tt: hitch womb Ie Comp, jMl. New Braunfels New Braunfels, Texas i.era , x^ xas 75?a5 Herald-Zcituno Vol. 91 - No. 225 16 Pages FRIDAY November 19,1982 25 cents (USPS 377-880) Local 'speed' lab linked to massive drug roundupPlayoff tracks From staff and wire reports Federal agents say they have broken a ring that was manufacturing and distributing millions of dollars worth of methamphetamines, also known as "speed." in Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. The investigation turned up illegal drug labs in New Braunfels. Wimberley, San Marcos and Fredericksburg. U.S. Attorney Edward Prado and Chuck Carter, special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration's San Antonio office, announced that 20 people were accused in sealed indictments and were being rounded up late Thursday. Comal County Sheriff's Investigator Gilbert Villarreal said arrests had been made in San Marcos and possibly Wimberley, but none locally. Carter said drug traffickers called the organization DOPE and Company or "DOPEC," an acronym for Davis, Oberski, Pearson, Epperson and Co. — signifying, he said, the names of the organization's principal members. He said Charles G. Davis, Michael N. Oberski and Norman Richard Epperson were among the defendants arrested Thursday. Names of the other defendants will be withheld until all arrests are made, he added. Comal County law officers have uncovered at least four methamphetamine labs in the past two years. Investigations are usually turned over to federal authorities. Villarreal said he wasn't sure which of those labs was involved in this particular case. "We made a bust on River Road, one in Bulverde, Canyon I^ake, Cypress Uke Cove. That one was within the past year. And once we rounded up a bunch of people at Canyon Uke Condominiums," he said. The lake area is popular with drug producers, he No upturn yet Quarterly GNP figures not encouraging WASHINGTON (AP) — Revising its national growth figures downward, the government said today the national economy stayed flat in the July-September quarter rather than inching upward as first estimated The Commerce Department report also said U.S. corporations' profits rose slightly in the quarter. However, they remained at a low level. Neither piece of news was likely to surprise government officials and private economists, who are generally agreed that the recession moved into a 16th month in October and may well be continuing yet The inflation-adjusted, or "real," gross national prod t stayed at an annual rate of $1 478 trillion, the No contest Heitkamp won't challenge results By JACQUELINE SMITH Staff writer Although several of his supporters have urged him to file "some sort of election contest,'' County Commissioner O R. Heitkamp has decided against it. Heitkamp, who was seeking his third term as precinct 4 commissioner, was defeated in the November general election by Bill George by 329 votes Heitkamp, a Democrat received 1,198 votes to George's 1,527. Many of my supporters have called to my attention that there were certain alleged irregularities in the Republican primary." the precinct 4 conunissioner stated ui a press release "It seems that 42 absentee ballots were cast from the River Gardens Mental Retardation Facility and it is alleged that most of the applications appear to be in the same hand writing," he added. "After careful consideration, however, I feel that w hat happened in the Republican Primary was simply a party matter and I will not get involved in their party politics," he said. The voters have made their choice, he said, "and I will respect that decision. I wish Mr. George the very best in his efforts as county commissioner." The allegations Heitkamp referred to in his statement came from Canyon Lake businesswoman Uis Duggan, who ran against George in the Republican primary and lost that race by 19 votes. Duggan asked Commissioners Court not to certify those votes cast from River Gardens in the general election saying "my premise has been and still is that the Commissioners Court has the authority to void those votes."See HEITKAMP, Page 16 added. Investigators sometimes find remains of labs whose owners have moved on to avoid getting caught. 'They're looking for rural areas where they can cook (methamphetamine) and ifs harder for the neighbors to smell it. It takes 24 hours to complete one cycle. Sometimes they'll just rent a house for a weekend," he said. Carter said DOPEC operated since 1978 in Texas, New Mexico and louisiana and "was formed solely for the purpose of trafficking in the lucrative methamphetamine business. "It was a close-knit and highly skilled criminal organization consisting of about 50 members throughout the three-state area," Carter said. "It was a gigantic operation. It did $10 million last year." See DRUGS, Page 16Inside same as in the second quarter, the new report said. Commerce Department economists had estimated last month before all economic data for the third quarter was in — that there had been a gain at an annual rate of 0 8 percent. Since then, officials said newer reports — especially one showing the foreign trade deficit higher than expected for the quarter — made it likely real GNP would be revised downward. Real GNP — the broadest measure of U.S. economic activity — is a figure designed to include all goods and services produced in a given period. Before adjustment for inflation, the GNP rose 4.7 percent to a rate of $3,081 trillion in the quarter. See ECONOMY, Page 16Today's Weather Comal County forecast calls for mostly cloudy today and tonight, and partly cloudy Saturday. There is a 40 percent chance of showers or thundershowers today. Winds will be from the southeast near IO mph today and tonight. The extended forecast for Sunday through Tuesday is partly cloudy to cloudy skies, with a chance of showers Monday.

The answer to that question, plus many others affecting involving music and teenagers, will be explored in a monthlong series of public symposiums entitled "Uvewires" sponsored by the New Braunfels High School Student Council. The series will be opened Nov. 30 with a three part special entitled ' Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n Roll: Fact and Friction." The first special will deal exclusively with "Rock 'n Roll: Fact and Friction." The student council picked the topic of Rock 'n Roll for this series since "often rock 'n roll music is held to blame for numerous problems of today's youth, such as the generation gap and the drug problem," said student Mark Kennedy, who is in charge of the publicity for the series. "Until we can get through the fallacies and distortions surrounding rock 'n roll we will be unable to explore the true causes of those problems," Kennedy said. Other reasons why this topic was chosen, he noted, were because "rock 'n roll is unusually predominant in our town which is also well known for its traditionalist background." Kennedy also mentioned New Braunfels' "incredible growth rate," noting that the town "is centered right between two major cities and two major IFM» rock 'n roll stations — KISS (San Antonio) and KLBJ (Austin)." New Braunfels also has a "large elderly population," he noted, "who feels intimidated or, at least are highly critical of rock 'n roll." The student council is hoping that "the intensity of this program will be comparable with shows such as Phil Donahue' and be as intimate and personal as the real Livewire show la teenage talk-show on cable TV)." "Due to the size of the issue we are dealing w ith," Kennedy said the council is seeking the help of "trusted professionals who can speak authoritatively" on the subject. The student council has contacted various San Antonio radio disc jockeys to be guest speakers at the Nov. 30 symposium, which will bt* held at the New Braunfels High School bund hall from 7 to 9 p.m. Others who have been asked to speak at See KOCK 'N ROLL, Page 16 McKenna rates honor from hospital panel For its ability to control costs and "to better meet the new Medicare cost-per-case requirements," McKenna Memorial Hospital has been recognized by the American Hospital Association. McKenna — an 86-bed hospital currently undergoing renovation and expansion — was awarded the 1983 Hospital Administrative Services (HAS) certificate of recognition by the American Hospital Association, said Tom McNeal, hospital administrator. "This allows McKenna Memorial Hospital to provide higher quality services with greater staff efficiency and help us keep patient charges lower," he explained. And by participating in the voluntary program from which the certificate is given, the hospital is also "in an excellent position" to keep its costs within new federal guidelines for Medicare reimbursement, .McNeal said The information gained from monitoring its performance through the HAS program is also used by the hospital to meet Medicare's reimbursement plan, McNeal noted. Due to changes made in the Medicare reimbursement plan, hospitals will bt* reimbursed for patient care according to the average length of stay which Medicare has determined each diagnosis requires. "They're (Medicare) going to start paying us per disease (diagnosis) per stay," McNeal noted. "They take diseases state wide and determine how long an average (hospital) stay is needed to recover from each," he said. For example, McNeal added, "let s say they've assigned an average stay of six days for pneumonia, then they're only going to pay for a patient's (who has pneumonia) care for six days " The Medicare reimbursement program changes will not become effective, however, until either Jan. I or July I, 198:), McNeal said, noting that th*date had not been set. For IO years, McKenna has participated in the "voluntary com-paritative management information program" sponsored by HAS, he noted Under this program, McKenna monitors "its costs, employee See MCKENNA, Page 18 Practice, practice Junior Miss contestant Elaine Weichsel works to get a leg up on her talent performance in preparation for Saturday night's pagent, which will begin at 7:30 at the Civic Center A total of 19 local high school girls are competing for crown.

Help With Catering Business Name
Business By gottabakenow Updated 29 Dec 2009 , 9:07pm by indydebi
This isn't for me, it's for a friend of mine. She's starting a catering business and can't think of a name...
She lives in NY, her name starts with a Z, she wants something kind of cute but not cutesy... Any ideas?
Z Best Catering LOL
lol! she thought of Z'licious Catering, but no one else liked it...
I love KHalstead's name suggestion! But bear in mind if she uses anything that starts with "Z", she'll be at the bottom of any alpha-listing of caterers. A lot of "find your caterer here" websites list alphabetically unless you pay to be at the top.
"A to Z Catering" would put her at the top.

Fix it the right way.

WARNING: I had an appalling experience with eGlobal digital. I purchased a pair of headphones that arrived broken. I emailed them and requested a RMA. After being delayed and stuffed around by their customer service they finally arranged a return.
They then emailed me and told me the broken item wasn't RMA and they would "glue them back together as a good will gesture". The headphones finally arrived today and they ARRIVED BROKEN again.
They are refusing to give me a refund and have been incredibly rude. I will never buy anything from this business again and I warn all of you to be very careful with them. Links to images of the broken item can be found below.

text: A few weeks ago I flew out to Norther California, and picked up a childhood dream. And rode her back 1500 miles to Denver. The Busa has not been getting a lot of love lately, since she's been home. Riding back from NorCal was awesome, got to ride the coast up there for the first time. Rode down to Eureka from Crescent City, then headed over 299 to Redding. Went from 50 to 105 between the coast and the central furnace of California. After Redding I headed to my friend's place in Carson City by way of rt 44 through the Lassen NF. The rest of the ride home was a straight shot across HWY 50 in Nevada and Utah, then 70 back home through Colorado. Some more pics of the new toy below. 1974 R75 Sidecar Rig pictures by dedsled - Photobucket So yeah, the Busa has been spending a lot of time in the garage, while I've been having a blast putting around on a 38 year old bike . Driving a sidecar rig is like nothing I've done before, and brings a smile to my face every time I drive it. Of course, after driving the old bike all week, when I got back on the Busa last weekend, it was like the first time again.. WHOOOSH!

However, on Thursday night we went into one of the main clubs in Copenhagen, which is probably why it cost 100kr to get in. At first we were curious on what music they would be playing. Their DJ's actually had a pretty good mix of music. Most of the songs were in English, then a few Danish songs. Their current top 40 includes the likes ...

Spokes AGM 2016
Wed 23 Nov
Our well-attended and lively Annual General Meeting was held on Wed 23 November at the Friends Meeting House in Canterbury (next door to the Marlowe Theatre).- with a thought-provoking talk by guest speaker Prof Stephen Peckham.
Professor Peckham is Director and Professor of Health Policy at the Centre for Health Services Studies at the University of Kent at Canterbury. He spoke about the effects of air pollution on the health of local people, how the main problem for air quality is traffic. and why we should support sustainable transport - including cycling.
His talk (click below to see slides full-screen) was entitled "Should we be worried about air quality?"
Retiring chair Steve Fawke spoke about how much Spokes has achieved over the years and many of the landmark routes cyclists enjoy in the eastern half of the county have been down to the work of Spokes.

So in demand is this beautifully-wrought aid for the celebration of the Year of Faith that the thing is in its third printing and on back-order until October.
But even if you will not get your copy until late October, after the year is officially "begun", I urge you to order this book. It's inexpensive ($6.95) and at 445 pages, it's absolutely loaded with fine material — profiles of the holy men and women of the bible, devotions, poems, meditations, reflections on scripture, explanations re the Catechism.
For instance, here is an excerpt of the entry for October 12, by Thomas Merton:
Faith is not just conformity, it is life. It embraces all the realms of life, penetrating into the most mysterious and inaccessible depths not only of our unknown spiritual being but even of God's own hidden essence and love. Faith, then, is the only way of opening up the true depths of reality, even of our own reality.
— New Seeds of Contemplation
You don't like Merton? How about the great Servant of God, Elisabeth Leseur:
This light of faith comes directly from God and shapes our supernatural existence. It gives our actions, which appear to resemble those of other people, an end that the actions of others do not hae, and it gives an incomparable value to ourselves and to souls. Our bodily and rational lives differ in no way from those of the other members of the human race, but there is something beyond, not, as all too many people imagine, antagonistic to this life . .shining on humble as well as powerful minds, it reaches the soul within and gives it a motive for living and acting, the meaning of suffering, an explanation of death, as well as revealing to it the beauty and usefulness of our activity in this world and its supernatural fruitfulness.
You want something from a more modern writer? How about the always-instructive Father Simon Tugwell, OP?
The perfection of charity is essentially the same shape as the most elementary act of faith. Faith punctures the self-sufficiency of our world, so that there is room for God to be God. Perfect charity is when the puncture has become all-embracing, so that we are nothing but space for God to be God. All that we find in ourselves is God being all in all.
— Prayer in Practice
This is an extremely valuable compendium of great Catholic writing and devotion and instruction.
The Year of Faith runs from October 2012 to November 2013. I cannot think of a better assist for the year. I've purchased many Magnificat companions, but I really do think this is the best they've ever produced.
And no, I do not get a kickback for recommending. :-)

Hobby Lobby Stores founder David Green is already the world's largest evangelical giver. Now, Green is giving away something other than money: a 217-acre college campus.
Hobby Lobby announced today its plan to donate the former D.L. Moody Northfield Mount Hermon School campus in Northfield, Mass., to Grand Canyon University (GCU), a for-profit Christian liberal arts university based in Phoenix, Ariz.
Steven Green, Hobby Lobby's president, said in a phone interview that the family selected GCU because of the school's capacity to grow the campus and maintain its legacy.
"We were looking for somebody that had a Christian orthodoxy in line with what D.L. Moody himself would appreciate," Green said.
Brian Mueller, GCU president and CEO, says the campus represents a humbling opportunity for GCU, which hopes to open the campus for student enrollment beginning in fall 2014. Although the school will need to invest significantly in order to bring the campus buildings up to code and construct additional dormitories, the biggest challenge lies in establishing the GCU brand among Northeasterners.
"The legacy of this place—with D.L. Moody founding it, its heritage as a Christian institution—those are big shoes to fill," he said.
Evangelist D.L. Moody built the campus in 1879. Hobby Lobby and the Green family acquired the Northfield campus after it was put up for sale in 2009. The original plan to to establish a "great books" college through the C.S. Lewis Foundation fell through in 2011, after foundation failed to raise sufficient funds for the project.
Earlier this year, Hobby Lobby announced its plan to gift the campus to a Christian institution with the financial ...1

Aging in the Social-Cultural Context
€ 58,99
Sofort lieferbar
Mai 2008
BeschreibungThe question of how culture may be involved in individual development across the lifespan has been occupying researchers for decades. The significant body of research in the area has led to major shifts in perspectives, in particular, how we view individual development in the social milieu. The lifespan developmental perspective describes the ways in which culture influences development, as processes of development inevitably take place in a cultural context. This book will discuss cultural variations in self-concept; how culture leads to the development of ideas about primary and secondary control; how culture influences the individual by means of stereotyping; and finally, how all these developmental processes affect health, attitudes, and behaviors. The focus of this book is on older adults in later stages of development.
PortraitDr. Ori Ashman, PhD: Studied social and applied educational and developmental psychology at Harvard University, Boston College, and Murdoch University. Holds a doctorate and dual Masters degrees. Lecturer and researcher in social psychology. Registered psychologist practicing in Sydney, Australia.
