1 The Online University Business School - Athabasca University s Centre For Innovative Management Dr. Lee E. Weissling Athabasca University, Alberta, Canada ABSTRACT Ten years ago Athabasca University launched the worldʹs first online Executive Master in Business Administration which has grown to deliver one in four of the Executive MBAs awarded in Canada today and is widely respected in the Canadian business and academic communities. Using an asynchronous online delivery format, the MBA program is collaboratively focused. The 1100 students in the program today work together from across Canada and from 26 countries around the world. Research comparing the online environment with the traditional classroom has shown that an intense interaction exists within the courses and this is widely viewed as one of the Athabasca MBAʹs key strengths. A maximum professor to student ratio of one to twenty five is strictly maintained. With 80 faculty located across Canada and in the US and Europe, the MBA has more faculty involved in it than any other school in Canada. The school is now focused on expanding the reach of its successful MBA program to new opportunities in online learning. Research is seen as a critical component in the schoolʹs work and plans are underway to add for a doctoral program (Doctorate in Business Administration). An online environment is being created that will integrate the teaching and research activity of the school. Online research institutes allow academics and students to collaborate on international research projects and to work more closely with the business community than has ever been possible before. Athabasca believes that a high quality university business school requires the integration of teaching, research and relationships with the business community. This paper describes the work of Athabascaʹs Centre for Innovative Management today. It then discusses the schools planʹs for the creation of the University business school of the future.
2 INTRODUCTION In 1994, Athabasca University (AU), logged on with the world s first fully interactive online Executive MBA program. Today, the AU MBA is Canada s largest Executive MBA program, and one of the fastest growing programs in the world. Enrolment has increased from 130 students in 1995 to 1,082 students in 2004, capturing 25% of the EMBA market in Canada and an estimated 15% of the world online EMBA market. Students are middle to senior level managers from all sectors of the economy in Canada and 23 other countries. Critical to the success of the AU MBA is its collaborative, interactive approach to learning and the flexibility of the asynchronous online environment in which the students work. The key relevance of the Athabasca University MBA to the Commonwealth of Learning conference and to delegates interested in applying CIM s methods to address the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, resides in an analysis of the MBA program s collaborative distance learning model and associated administrative practices. The flexible nature of our distance model could easily translate into a vehicle for facilitating the continuing education of leaders and managers in development projects and institutions throughout the Commonwealth. BACKGROUND Athabasca University Athabasca University was established in 1970 in response to a rapid increase in university enrolments in Alberta in the 1960s. Soon after, though, the growth in enrolments slowed, calling into question the need for another campus-based university in the province. The university initiated a pilot project, based from Edmonton, the capital of Alberta, to study new teaching and learning strategies that would enable students to pursue a university education without leaving their communities, jobs, or families. The resulting distance learning centre offered fully-accredited university courses and programs, and attracted over 650 students between 1972 and Athabasca University held its first convocation ceremony for two graduates in 1977, and had its future ensured in 1978, when a revision of the Alberta Universities Act granted the University permanent, selfgoverning status (approval in principle was given in 1975).
3 In 1984, AU moved 145 kilometres north to the town of Athabasca, where it could serve as an educational hub for the provinceʹs widely-distributed northern population. Satellite learning centres were established in Calgary and Edmonton, the two largest cities in Alberta, providing student services such as advising, computer labs, resource materials and examination centres. In 1985, the University adopted a mission statement to reflect its commitment to innovation, flexibility, excellence in teaching, research and scholarship, and service in the community. International development and building a base for public trust and private support were also emphasized. The mission was amended in 1999 to emphasize the Universityʹs growing national and international reach, extending far beyond its Alberta home. The Centre for Innovative Management In 1994, Athabasca University established the Centre for Innovative Management (CIM) in St. Albert, Alberta, a suburb of Edmonton. CIM was given an entrepreneurial mandate to launch the worldʹs first fully interactive, online Executive MBA program, and to make the program self-supporting. The programʹs tuition fees were to fully cover all operating expenses; the program would not receive government funding. CIM rose to the challenge. Its academic team developed a high-quality, academically challenging MBA program adapted for online delivery to students via Lotus Notes groupware. The student market was receptive, and the program drew 130 students in its first year. Today, the program has almost 1100 students enrolled, and its student satisfaction is such that internal surveys consistently indicate that most new students join the program because they were referred by a current AU MBA student or alumnus. The Athabasca online Executive MBA degree is similar in academic scope and rigour to those conferred by many traditional, residential based universities in North America. The word Executive in the degree name indicates that the admission requirements of the program include a work experience requirement in Athabascaʹs case, from three to ten years of managerial experience are required. The average AU EMBA student is 40 years old, and has nine years of managerial experience when entering the program. Almost all students work full time during their studies and over 60% receive financial support from their employer. CIM offers three EMBA program streams the general Executive MBA, which covers in-depth the overall management principles that apply to all organizations, plus an MBA in Information Technology Management and MBA in Project Management. The
4 program structure (for all three programs) consists of 12 online courses each eight weeks in duration a one-week residential course made available in locations throughout Canada and Europe, and an Applied Project undertaken individually by each student on a subject related to their workplace. Most people take between two and two and a half years to complete the program, but are allowed up to six years. Course lecture notes, case studies, links to online libraries and group discussions are distributed through the Internet, though hard-copy textbooks are also couriered or mailed. The Athabasca University MBA has become well recognized in Canada as a highquality program that allows working professionals to obtain a masterʹs degree while still remaining in their workplace. Indeed, the Athabasca Executive MBA has been ranked #3 in Canada by Canadian Business (2001), within the top 75 Executive MBAs in the world by the Financial Times of London (2003), and consistently highly ranked by other internal and external surveys. COLLABORATIVE ONLINE LEARNING Individuals learn principally through interaction and dialogue with other learners (Haggerty, Schneberger, and Carr 2001:2). This philosophy permeates the learning methods employed in every course in the Athabasca University MBA program. In each online course, cohorts of eight to twelve students are linked to each other and to an academic coach by Lotus Notes software. The academic coach evaluates assignments and participation, but most importantly serves as a facilitator, guiding discussion points, encouraging dialogue, offering academic expertise, and helping students link theory with practice. All academic coaches are highly qualified in terms of academic background (minimum masterʹs degree, but most with PhDs) and business experience. Any given discussion provides students with an opportunity to experience the viewpoints of professionals from a variety of industries and employment roles as all students relate the issue at hand to their own organizations. If, for example, a course question requires analysis of a labour relations problem, the resulting discussion might include thoughts from a human resources professional in a large multinational company, a financial manager in a government ministry, a general manager in a small company, a police force sergeant, etc. each of whom would present a different perspective on the issue. It is this kind of discussion and analysis from several
5 perspectives that helps AU MBA students develop exceptional critical thinking and innovative problem solving skills. Because the discussion element of each course is so critical to the learning experience for all students, studentsʹ final course grades are affected by the quality and quantity of their participation. Each assignment be it a discussion question, case study analysis, issue resolution, or any of a wide variety of exercises requires every student to comment, discuss, offer opinions, or otherwise share their thoughts with every other student in their class. Failure to contribute effectively to discussions results in a failing course grade, regardless of individual or group project marks. As previously mentioned, the Athabasca University has been highly ranked by independent surveys both inside Canada and internationally, but rankings in and of themselves do not fully explain why the AU online MBA is successful. One research project in learning theory supports the effectiveness of the AU MBA online learning environment. The study, by Athabasca University and the University of Western Ontario (Haggerty, Schneberger, and Carr 2001), examines cognitive learning and communications through surveys conducted among individuals in three media environments asynchronous online, synchronous video conferencing, and face-to-face classroom. The researchers found that while online respondents exhibited lower mean perceptions towards richness of social interactions and procedural interactions, they perceived that analytical interactions occurred more frequently, were longer and of higher quality, and contributed the most to learning when compared with respondents from classroom and video conferencing. The collaborative, asynchronous learning model appears to encourage more reflection, introspection, and measured responses, which are perceived as being higher in quality and learning contribution than classroom or videoconferencing participation. BEST PRACTICES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS OF THE ONLINE UNIVERSITY BUSINESS SCHOOL Building on the success of its online MBA, CIM is now expanding the range of online programs and services. These initiatives serve as examples of best practices and will help lead the future of the Athabasca University online business school. One initiative undertaken by the Centre for Innovative Management in the past two years is to take components of MBA courses and develop non-credit, management development courses for public and private sector organizations. The courses are four
6 weeks in length and designed for participants all within the same company or profession. The collaborative, asynchronous model of learning is used and a coach facilitates discussion just as for regular MBA courses. For example, AU recently delivered three, four week long courses in knowledge management, change management, and e-government to employees of the Ontario, Canada Government. From a research perspective, AU is undertaking a project in Supply Chain Management whereby an interaction simulation model has been developed that allows for collaboration among different supply chain managers to conduct exercises and control different scenarios along a virtual supply chain. The research derived from developing the supply chain simulation has assisted and enhanced teaching and business applications. Athabasca University is also developing a virtual campus, the E-Campus, which provides the capability for students to access university functions such as course registrations, grades, alumni chat rooms, as well as online libraries throughout North America and the world. The Centre for Innovative Management at Athabasca University is also investigating the possibility of expanding its academic programs to offer a Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA). Subject to government approval (all university programs in Canada must be approved by respective provincial education ministries), the AU degree could be the first DBA conferred by a Canadian university. Approval of the DBA will mean that a university exclusively devoted to distance education will be providing the same full range of bachelor, master, and doctoral programs as traditional, residentially based universities and all within a few decades of existence. CONCLUSION Collaborative, online learning facilitated by an expert has the potential to become an empowering tool for leaders, agents of change, and all types of development workers to share ideas, ask and respond to questions, and learn from others all over the world. Barriers exist, certainly, such as lack of computer and internet access and difficulties in coordinating and maintaining servers and technical support, but a well-planned, networked system of online courses is an efficient and effective option for lifelong learning for a diverse, geographically scattered array of individuals interested in expanding their knowledge and learning from their peers. By linking people the world over, online learning has the potential to play a significant role in the dissemination of
7 information and the sharing of expertise amongst agents working in a global partnership for development. REFERENCES Canadian Business. The best for execs. November 12, 2001 Financial Times.

Francis Coppola, whose use of family members in his films is well documented, may be taking the concept one step further. In "Girl Under Glass," Coppola not only plans to write and direct, he's also leaning toward playing the lead male role. The story sounds like a hellish version of "Pretty Woman" – a married college professor falls in love with a prostitute. Even though she is charging him for every minute they spend together, he mistakes her devotion for mutual love, and responds in violent fashion upon realizing he's been used. It would be Coppola's first featured role. A spokesman would only say that Coppola is writing it.

Description: The beautiful, immature girl whom she took home to her husband was a maid only in name. Tomo's real mission had been to find him a mistress. Nor did her secret humiliation end there. The web that his insatiable lust spun about him soon trapped another young woman, and another ... and the relationships between the women thus caught were to form, over the years, a subtle, shifting pattern in which they all played a part. There was Suga, the innocent, introspective girl from a respectable but impoverished family; the outgoing, cheerful, almost boyish Yumi; the flirtatious, seductive Miya, who soon found her father-in-law more dependable as a man than his brutish son.... And at the center, rejected yet dominating them all, the near tragic figure of the wife Tomo, whose passionate heart was always, until that final day, held in check by an old-fashioned code. In a series of colorful, unforgettable scenes, Enchi brilliantly handles the human interplay within the ill-fated Shirakawa family. Japan's leading woman novelist and a member of the prestigious Art Academy, she combines a graceful, evocative style that consciously echoes the Tale of Genji with keen insight and an impressive ability to develop her characters over a long period of time. Her work is rooted deep in the female psychology, and it is her women above all-so clearly differentiated yet all so utterly feminine-who live in the memory. With The Waiting Years, a new and important literary figure makes her debut in the Western world.

Stacking Wedding Cakes
Decorating By requel Updated 5 Apr 2011 , 2:44am by bakingkat
Need help stacking a wedding cake do you guy's bake fill cover in fondant and stack one time or do you fill cover wait over night then the following day stack please explain how you do your stacked wedding cakes.
It depends on my time frame but like to bake, fill, crumb then refrigerate wrapped overnight. Then fondant, stack, & decorate. I swear by Sharon's Successful Stacking DVD
Mine is similar to the last. I bake, fill, stack, ice, then refridgerate over night. Then I fondant, decorate, and stack, then border. If it's more than a 2 or 3 tiers, Ill stack and border at the delivery site.
I like stacking as the last step as well. Just make sure you let it rest/settle before you ice/fondant so you don't get a buldge. Also make sure your supports are just a little taller then the cake so that the cake on top isn't actually sitting on the bottom cake, just on the supports, and your border will cover the little gap. If you do these steps you should be able to stack without problems. Hope this helps and good luck!

Priority problems beset Kashmir
Other pressing emergencies have pushed this burning issue into the shadows
March 1, 2012
I grew up listening to reports on the death tolls of Kashmiri Muslims in evening bulletins. The chaotic scenes of women wailing in funeral processions, shrouded bodies and violent street protesters were an essential part of the 9pm news on state run Pakistan TV. The monopoly on bombarding a nation with anti-Indian sentiments worked well until the rise of cable television networks in the past few years. Religious leaders in the country at that time issued a fatwa calling on all Muslims to "rise up against the devil" represented by newly-authorized cable television operators for airing "vulgar and obscene" TV programs. Nowadays cable TV is in many households and contributes to an increasing political maturity among the populace. Journalists, talk show hosts and analysts have all done well in raising awareness on "real issues" and tossing aside the hyped ones -- one of them being Kashmir. The oldest unresolved international conflict in the world grabbed attention again after a recent report in the Indian media claimed that "Pakistan may junk the Kashmir issue temporarily" in the wake of its internal crisis. Although Pakistan categorically denied this report, it is clear that people are now more concerned about simple things like food and peaceful living than decades old rhetoric. An online poll by one of the country's leading daily newspapers said 66 percent of its readers agreed that the country has "tossed aside" the Kashmir issue. I am one of these realists. Caught in tug of war between military dictators and political industrialists since its inception, the country lost its eastern wing (what is now Bangladesh) in a 1971 liberation war. The situation today is no less different. A Taliban insurgency continues to tear at northern provinces, a western province is on the verge of separation and the crime rate in the southern metropolis is breaking records. Last year saw 2,000 killed in Karachi, a port city and the financial hub of the country. Meanwhile, the US has carried out at least 280 drone attacks since 2004 in the hunt for terror suspects in the tribal region. Nationalists are now supporting a recent resolution introduced in the US Congress seeking the right to self-determination for Balochs who have endured extra judicial killings and enforced disappearances for years. Labeling separatists as outside forces, the sudden interest by the political leadership in the rights of disgruntled tribal people may be too late. I was deeply hurt after an Islamabad-based politician exchanged insults with a Baloch tribal leader during a televised talk show. "Balochistan has gone too far," said Senator Mir Lashkari Raisani of the ruling Pakistan People's Party before storming off the program. Analysts say this same arrogance encouraged Bengalis to quit Pakistan. I had an uncomfortable experience in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, a few years ago. The parish priests locked me in a house for a week to prevent locals learning that I had a Punjabi identity. I was not allowed to go outside except to visit a Christian family while posing as a Religious brother. A popular slogan: "Kashmir banay ga Pakistan" (Kashmir will be Pakistan) carries little weight amid these and many other crises which may crawl from the ruins of Osama bin Laden's newly demolished compound in the garrison town of Abbottabad. The leaders have to think of Pakistan first. They should seek all possible means to keep the country intact in an upcoming all-party conference on Balochistan. The international community has often looked on the intelligence agencies with suspicion, believing they train people to wage conflict inside Indian held Kashmir and Afghanistan. A BBC report last month pointed to a secret NATO document which claimed there are links between the country's Inter-Services Intelligence agency and the Taliban. Even if this is not true and Pakistan is only committed to a "moral and diplomatic" fight for a disputed territory – it has to be based on the promise it is opposed to terrorism, corruption, energy crises, inflation and a vulnerable economy. Political leaders have to resolve these issues first before extending genuine support to the Kashmir cause. Kashmiris deserve a better future.

Series: Atmospheric Oxidation and Antioxidants Volume: 3
Oxidation by molecular oxygen is one of the most practically important of all chemical processes. It is the basis of energy production in animals and, at the same time, a major cause of irreversible deterioration and ultimate death. Man uses oxygen positively in the production of energy by combustion, and many important industrial processes in the petrochemical industry are based on the controlled oxidation of hydrocarbons. At the same time, oxidation is the main cause of deterioration of foodstuffs and of many industrial polymers. It is of great practical importance that the mechanisms of oxidation and its prevention should be understood in order to utilize the reactions of oxygen more effectively but, equally important, to control the adverse effects of oxygen on man-made products and in biological systems. The three volumes of this work are directed towards these objectives. Although complementary to one another, the three volumes form a single whole and it is hoped that, by frequent cross-reference, readers will be enabled to utilize ideas and experience from other disciplines to enlighten their own. Volume III addresses our present understanding of how oxidation is involved both positively and negatively in life processes. This is a more recent and rapidly developing aspect of oxidation chemistry, and many of the concepts still have to be proved by rigorous scientific investigation. Nevertheless, the mechanistic principles developed as a result of studies in vitro over the years now provide the basis for understanding the complex oxidation chemistry of life processes and its control by biological antioxidants.

Fantasy owners got a scare on Thursday when Oakland's Brett Anderson left his start against Boston after only two innings because of tightness in his left elbow -- a bad sign since Anderson just spent a month on the 15-day disabled list because of problems with that same elbow.
Anderson was a popular breakout pick this season coming off an 11-11 mark in 2009 that included a strong second half. He is 2-1 in six starts this season with an impressive 22/4 K/BB ratio. He pitched an encouraging 5 2/3 shutout innings in his first start off the DL before giving up two runs and five hits in his abbreviated performance on Thursday.
The A's are sending Anderson to have his elbow examined before they decide whether to put him back on the DL. Obviously, they're going to be very careful with the 22-year-old. Fantasy owners may need to start looking at other options for this season -- especially if surgery is recommended.
One of those options could be Vin Mazzaro, who replaced Anderson in Thursday's game and picked up the win. He would likely take over Anderson's spot in the A's rotation.

Leaders of Israel's Islamic Movement cleared from "terror charges"
An Israeli court has dropped so-called "terror charges" against five Islamic Movement leaders in return for them pleading guilty for lesser and largely trivial charges pertaining to giving humanitarian assistance to impoverished Palestinian families in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The five, including former mayor the Israeli-Arab town of Um al Fahm leader Sheikh Ra'ed Salah, were arrested in mid 2003 for what the Israeli authorities then termed "helping a terrorist organization," a reference to Hamas.
Salah dismissed charges, accusing the Israeli state of launching a "witch-hunt" campaign against the Islamic movement in Israel for supporting the Palestinian cause and giving humanitarian help for poor Palestinian families.
According to the plea bargain agreement, Salah will still serve additional six months, while some of his colleagues will be freed.
His lawyer said the 47-year-old leader agreed to the plea-bargain after he despaired of Israeli justice. "He understood that Israel is not the place to seek justice for non-Jews." The lawyer said the Israeli state dealt with Salah and his colleagues in the Islamic movement "by way of deception."

The impending Air Jordan XX8 debut and Michael's 50th birthday have provided cause for reflection on the greatest basketball player of all time. His influence is hard to understate, and for one tiny example, one need only look at the latest Jordan Super.Fly Low and sense the almost-familiar vibes it exudes. At first glance appearing to be another blocking template for the legendary 'Bred' mix that was this silo's first, Total Crimson instead of one of the more traditional reds gives these a distinct orange lean that's somewhere between the immortal Chicago Bulls colors and a Bobcats PE. Have a closer look below, let us know what you think and be on the lookout for these at select Jordan Brand retailers soon.

However, it only affects GUI interaction? It should > not impact .mak based builds. True, but there are reasons I prefer the GUI, biggest is where one runs into trouble during a compile. I can rebuild any specific problem project/s, remove buildbin dependency from the installbin project, and when I have hammered out the specific problems, use said installbin to just copy the files into place. Good example is recent APR-Util 1.4.1 and the static lib not compiling w/ crypto. I was able to compile all but the few things linked to the static lib, remove the crypto switch in apu.hw, then built the static lib and the things like ab and abs that linked to it, none needed apr_crypto anyway. Not such an easy task to do via makefile. New people to the game also prefer the GUI, after all, why do we have Windows (ok, KDE.

"Trail Of Lies" (Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc1Ru0xAO7Q )
Chapter 29: Rise of the Despair
Missyfoo goes back to her house and thinks over what she will do tomorrow.
[Theme that plays: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmctWnCjcH8 ]
The next day...
{Casa de los Balnado, 7:00AM, Tameron city}
Missyfoo goes to the living room to see her butler.
"Madam, you called?" Asked the Butler.
"Yes, I did, and I wanted to tell you, that *slowly pulls out a shot filled with venom* your services are no longer needed." Replied Missyfoo.
"MADAM ARE YOU MAD!" Yelled The Butler but is injected by the shot.
"I want to tell you some things,*Pushes him to the sofa making him fall* like how I got to be the person I am today, rich and famous." Explained Missyfoo.
"Ma..dam what..are you talking about..?" Asked the Butler as the venom is slowly killing him.
"I got to this place by killing." Replied Missyfoo.
"W..hat?" Asked The Butler in fear.
"You see I killed my husband, Geodano Balnado with venom, just like you and my father." Replied Missyfoo.
The butler is impacted to the max.
"Who....was your father?" Asked the Butler as he was about to die.
"My, father...was Orian Sonata." Replied Missyfoo.
The Butler dies as soon as he hears that name.
Missyfoo then leaves the house and goes to Finorgemo City for a final round with Wolff and Co.

"I am so glad you left that job sis." Said Incanter.
"I am too." Replied Lily.
"The good thing is that at least you tried to be there for a while." Said Wolff.
"Yes, but Missyfoo was and is very demanding and evil I couldn't handle her ways anymore." Commented Lily.
"Anyways I was bound to quit, sooner or later." Added Lily.
"Well, lets forget about it now, we are ok away from her now anyways, we should go to Fintel for lunch today." Said Wolff.
"We haven't been there for a while now." Added Incanter.
"Ok I guess we can go." Said Lily.
The 3 went to fintel and ordered rooms for the night to stay.
{Fintel, Finorgemo City, 10:30AM, Lobby}
"Lets go to my room and talk for a bit." Said Wolff.
"Ok then." Replied Lily.
"Alright then." Also said Incanter.
{Wolff's Room, Fintel, 10:50AM}
"The hotel hasn't changed much has it?" Asked Incanter.
"No it hasn't." Replied Wolff with a sigh.
"It brings back so much memories." Added Lily.

A Cheat's Guide To Christmas! Bah Humbug!
Oh Yeah Why Bother?!
How many of us get absolutely exhausted doing all the stuff we do at Christmas? Is it really necessary? We go out and buy the food, store it away for the big day. Then buy the Turkey, spend hours and hours cooking it, then when you are finally stuffed mentally and physically you are so tired that you can just about enjoy a glass of wine or something a bit stronger.
And what about buying those gifts and presents? Why does everything have to be so darn expensive? Here's a little secret for you. It doesn't have to be hard work or expensive. Just cheat a little. Christmas is supposed to be for the family, so with a bit of tinkering here and there you can get away with a really cheapo Christmas! Ah Ha!
And let's face it, most of the people you give gifts too never appreciate it! For example what was wrong with the woolly sweater with the reindeer on? My brother is so ungrateful! And so what if I bought my cousin a DVD that she already had? She can watch it again can't she?
Buy from Amazon!
Be A Food Cheat!
- Don't bother to keep buying up loads of vegetables and chocolates, just get in the car and head down to your local store late at night before they close. There is always a sale on the food, just take a great big box and fill it up with bargains!
- Clear out your freezer so that you have enough room for all the cheap food. Don't want it going off now do we? Shove everything in there even the chocolates, you can always thaw them out the day before Christmas!
- Buy all your chips and crisps from the wholesaler. Or even better, go to the market and grab a huge box of them. Most sellers will be happy to sell you 200 packets for a discount!
- Instead of buying the Turkey at the last minute when the prices are sky high why not buy one in January and store it in that freezer again?! Okay, as long as the bills don't get too high and you lose your electricity supply you should be able to avoid salmonella!
- If you really are lazy, or just plain desperate to get more food get back to those supermarkets and wait for the guys to throw the out of date food away. Grab it as they throw it in the trash, then leg it pretty quickly!
Get Your Cheap Food Here!
Cheapest Gifts For Kids!
The Cheapest Christmas Presents Ever!
- Go to Super-drug or the pound or dollar store. You can buy loads of stuff for kids there, and hey how will they know that the pen set, or dippy dog you bought was so cheap? They should be grateful for a toy, not moan! Bah Humbug!
- For him. Why? What's he done for you this year? make sure that you buy him something appropriate such as Toiletries if he only buys you stupid things like kitchen equipment. Unless he's been good then that's different, splash out. If he's lucky he may just get himself a new razor!
- For her. Same old same old. Makeup from the dollar store, stockings from the buy one get one free shop over the road from your house. Well, why make too much effort? She will only throw them in the drawer and say Thanks Darlin' now get me a drink!
- Splash out on the family pet. That's allowed. Dogs and cats are loyal. They don't moan, whinge whine or play up. They behave themselves. So make sure you spend your money making them as comfortable and well fed as possible.
- And don't forget Grandma. She is always good for a cook book. Get her the one you bought her last year. She won't remember. Just grab it back and wrap it. Simple.
- Grandad? May be a bit more difficult. Especially if you bought him those nose clippers. They may be a bit dirty. Clean 'em off, and dip em in the sink with brasso. That will do it. Then wrap it up nicely.
Cookery Books For Grandma!
Happy Christmas!
Just before Christmas stuff the Turkey, defrost that darn freezer and get the chocolate out. It may have gone a funny color by now but hey who cares? Its chocolate. Cook up all the food at once, and put it on really pretty paper plates. This way you can blame the paper if the food tastes like cardboard.
Then wrap yourself silly with the Christmas paper. Make sure each present looks so nice it don't matter what the hell it looks like when its opened.
And last but not least. Make sure you feed the dog lots of scraps, so when it starts making funny noises and smells, it will take away the attention from your secret of cheap presents. Lets face it, who wants to read a cook book when the dog stinks?
Happy Cheating Christmas!
Blame It On The Dawg!

Lol. great hub!
You really made me laugh! The picture speaks for itself. The title caught my attention. You're so right! Grocery shopping and cooking during the holidays can be overwhelming. I just buy gift cards. lol.
You're simply ridiculous ha ha ha? old expired food stuff? do you know those things turn worms on or before the expiry date? There's a reason why they are throwing it away.
Why would you do an old senile lady that Nell? re-wrap a gift, that is senior citizen abuse! I am calling adult support services! Your mean.
and cleaning off grandpa clippers is even more gross i would not want to touch that :( ewww!!!
here's what please don't even buy me a Christmas present. LOL
Too funny. Can't wait for your next hub!
Funnnny hub, Nell! My experience, though, is cheap gifts go straight to the trash bin, so why bother? The LEAST expensive gift of all is my good wishes. Timeless. No wrapping required except slipping the Christmas card into an envelope, addressing, stamping. As for feeding the hungry hoards, why waste electricity and freezer space, or kill yourself in a hot kitchen? Pick a (decent) restaurant that's open on Christmas Eve and take the whole lot there. Compare the bill to all the grocery bills for stocking up pre-holiday and 9 times out of 10, the restaurant route is wayyyy cheaper. Plus no prep time, no washing up after, no wasted leftovers.
Am I a Scrooge? Not totally. For the other 11 months of the year I gift loved ones with items I **know** they want and will appreciate ( a certain book or DVD, for instance), items that won't go straight to the bin. Sometimes if I'm feeling especially holiday-ish, I'll wrap the items in the Christmas paper I got for 70%-off the week after The Day, thereby doubling the surprise value in late-spring or mid-summer. ;D
Great lighthearted hub! I have bought my Cats a new scratching post with three tiers and a swinging hammock! They are having roast chicken drumsticks for their christmas dinner too!
Good job with this Hub! Voted up! The pets get my vote for all the gifts. I love my cats and they take advantage of that every chance they get. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday!
A great laugh for Christmas Eve, thank you! :-) I love that you say to spend all the money on the pets, good thinking! The only ones who truly deserve it for sure... lol
Voted up and all sorts, and a very merry Christmas to you... all the best with Yuletide wishes, Jen
I needed to shake up my reading with some lightheartedness. Thank you so much for putting a knowing smile on my face...oh, how I relate!
In keeping with Honey BB's challenge, this is the 20th of 26 hubs I am reading today.
This hub is dedicated to Jessica Rekos (05-10-06) and may her sweet soul rest in peace.
Merry Christmas to you, dear woman. Hugs, Maria
Hi Nell, we need these tips right at about this time! Thanks for sharing....I enjoy going to wholesales, actually. Sometimes, they have more stuff to look at than in ordinary shopping situations. Thanks for sharing!! I will pass this along.
Nell, some good advice and laughs too here! Really enjoyed this Hub.

Yup; if the claimant to any such -legitimate- patent comes knocking, it *will* be removed from svn and the project, in case you had any doubts. Of course it's encumbant upon them to point this out to us, they know where to find us, and the infringing source code that documents the use. Bill

Priscilla Twice(1995)
A Picture Book by Judith Caseley
Priscilla loves both her parents, but they're getting a divorce. Now, she will live in two places and two of everything. But she only wants one thing--one family. This story deals with a not-uncommon situation, and like Priscilla, young readers will learn that where you live is not what matters--it's who you love and who loves you. Full-color.

The books have just arrived safe.

Should any alarm take place in your neighbourhood consign as many of your family as you please to my care, and we will house as many as we can and find house room for the rest. I do not myself apprehend any danger. London is indeed threatened by its own rabble, and in all overgrown cities the same evil exists, and the same consequences may possibly result. But an invading army must perish. I hope they will attempt invasion and lose enough by sea to fatten the channel crabs, and enough on shore to furnish bones for a monument on Dover Cliffs to be seen from Calais. We also deserve to suffer something, and when both nations have smarted, Europe will be at peace, and not till then.
The Coalition is indeed monstrous, they justify it upon the plea of uniting against a common enemy, but if
Coleridge is gone for Malta, when he left home he had no intention of taking Liverpool in his way for London. I should else have commissioned him to look for you, that you might have seen the most extraordinary man in England. I know two men who on the average of their intellectual power may be considered as his equals, but for conversational powers, for depth of thought and brilliancy of imagination Coleridge stands alone.
