I've decided that this winter (which is our off-season) we'll begin offering $9.99 flat shipping on all orders and free shipping on all orders over $199, opposed to our current system of charging price + shipping. Our items are heavy and on average cost about $25 to ship. Subsequently, we'll simply be adding the shipping cost into the price. Our actual overall prices, will in effect, not change at all.
We're the price leader on most of our products. However, I'm worried that now we won't appear to be so economical, despite our prices not having changed. We also have at least one major competitor who prices shipping separately as we currently do.
CurrentlyUS $99.99 + $35 shippingCOMPETITOR A $145 + $7.99 shippingCOMPETITOR B $110 + $37.99 shipping
New FormatUS $125 + $9.99 shipping COMPETITOR A $145 + $7.99 shippingCOMPETITOR B $110 + $37.99 shipping
I'm sure we'll compare more favorably to competitor A now. However, I'm worried that competitor B will now appear to be the price leader. At the same time, I think consumers may be more quick to dismiss companies with high shipping and therefore we'll compare more favorably to both companies. What's your opinion?
You might as well just list the price as $135 under the guise of free shipping. The buyer is going to pay that regardless.
The rule of thumb is that free shipping is expected and downright demanded at the $99 plus level. People will pay more to not have this tacked on and will abandon if they see it.
But don't assume any rule applies to your business. It's easy to test and that's exactly what you should do.
Agree, level of abandonments at shipping charges page goes up the higher the order total.
I have found if you just make shipping a flat $10 almost regardless of value of cart people dont mind. Means you can then use free shipping as a promo item as opposed to simply giving it away.
I can't speak for AU specific market dynamics but the rule of thumb for US shoppers, backed by a ton of research, is that people will pay a few bucks more for an item with free shipping and abandon in droves without it... A big part of shopping cart abandonment is in fact people going through to validate fees hence why Amazon was able to use free shipping as a marketing campaign rather than ads or offers.
You might well be right. I thought it was more about when they get to the checkout fees are considered exhorbitant and so they abandon. If you have a flat rate stated in your header and carry it all the way through the site "$10 shipping Australia wide!" then there is no checkout shock... ? Sounds like something we should AB test further, but what I do know is when people use a comparison engine and you are $10 more on the base product because of built in freight costs, then your site doesnt get the first click...
Test it and I bet you'll find that even if your traffic sources drop, your CVR increases as long as you are in line with competitors.
Hence why most CSEs have built in the total estimated cost...
I would second everyone else. Factoring in your shipping cost and offering free shipping is the way to go.
So for what it's worth we switched over to the model mentioned above (free shipping over $150, $9.99 other wise). Our overall number of sales is almost unchanged from the same period last month (up around 1%). Overall revenues per order is up about 7% (including shipping or lack there of).
I think it's too early to judge performance one way or the other. The overall revenue per order number is encouraging but again, it needs some more time to make a clear assessment.

Denies Xcel request for continuance
Public hearings on the proposed Hollydale 115 kV high voltage power transmission line are taking place as scheduled at the Grand Ballroom of the Medina Entertainment Center, 500 Highway 55 in Medina. Hearing times are 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 6 and 1:30 p.m. Thursday, March 7.
For several days, it was uncertain whether hearings on the certificate of need for the power line would be held, thanks to actions of four Medina/Plymouth area state senators and Xcel Energy. At that point people interested in the issue were waiting to hear whether Administrative Law Judge Eric Lipman would approve Xcel's request for continuance of the public hearings based upon the senators' proposed legislation.
Then at mid day, Monday, March 4, Mike Kalusniak, of the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC), spread the word that the hearings would take place.
The proposed Hollydale project of Xcel Energy/Great River Energy has been going through a complicated approval process spanning a couple of years. Residents and business owners in both Plymouth and Medina have expressed concerns about the power transmission upgrades because the high voltage transmission line is proposed to travel through both cities. For this reason, area citizens have been poised to attend the certificate of need hearings.
However, in rapid fashion, four area state senators and Xcel Energy threw the Hollydale approval process into uncertainty. State Senators Terri Bonoff (DFL, Minnetonka), Ann Rest (DFL, New Hope), Warren Limmer (R, Maple Grove) and David Osmek (R, Mound) on Feb. 25 introduced Senate Bill S.F. No. 716 which directly affects the proposed Hollydale high voltage power line. In response to introduction of the bill, Xcel Energy Feb. 27 asked Judge Lipman to order a continuance of the certificate of need hearing.
The approval process for the Hollydale project has been forging ahead on two paths. The PUC has jurisdiction over the certificate of need process which normally is invoked when a power transmission line is proposed for a distance of 10 miles or more. Originally, the Hollydale proposal spanned a shorter distance, but residents and business owners in Medina and Plymouth proposed alternate routes. Some of them would traverse more than 10 miles. So the certificate of need process went into effect for the Hollydale Project.
The certificate of need process is the first path of approval.
The second path falls under the purview of the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which has been looking at proposed routes for the Hollydale power line. Xcel Energy and Great River Energy proposed one route, but residents and businesses in Plymouth and Medina proposed 12 alternate routes.
Senate Bill 716 essentially says, "Hold it. Hold it." regarding the routing proceedings. The bill requires that the pending proceeding for the routing permit be suspended until the PUC determines whether the transmission line is needed.
The Senate bill says about the certificate of need, "The certificate of need may be approved only if the commission finds by clear and convincing evidence that there is no feasible and available distribution level alternative to the transmission line."
After looking at the Senate bill and consulting with her clients, Mara Koeller, attorney for Xcel Energy, wrote to Judge Lipman and asked for a continuance of the certificate of need hearings. Her letter said, "If enacted, this bill would change the review process for the Certificate of Need for the Hollydale Project. Given the uncertainties surrounding this pending legislation and its potential impact on Applicants' Certificate of Need request, Applicants believe there is good cause to continue the proceeding."
Xcel Energy requested that the Certificate of Need proceeding be continued "until the legislation is acted upon by the Governor or until it becomes apparent that a route over 10 miles in length may be selected by the Commission," Koeller said in her letter.
Meanwhile, the Western Plymouth Neighborhood Alliance (WPNA) in a March 4 letter told Judge Lipman that it opposed a continuance because Minnesota Rule 1400.7500 requires "a showing of good cause" for continuance of hearings. The WPNA contended that Xcel had not shown good cause.
"It is debatable whether the introduction of a bill at the Legislature, without more, constitutes good cause," the letter said. "Many bills are introduced and are not enacted into law."
The letter continued, "More troubling, the referenced legislation, even if it were to be enacted, calls for suspension of the routing proceeding until the question of need is determined, not a delay in the Certificate of Need proceeding so that Applicants can proceed with routing without addressing need. The proposed continuance would subvert rather than respect the legislative process."
The PUC has on its web site a list of documents that have been filed pertaining to the Hollydale project. The list is available at tinyurl.com/crw7rak

|Associate Head Coach - Defensive Coordinator
|Associate Head Coach - Defensive Coordinator
One of the longest tenured assistant coaches on the UMass Dartmouth staff, Steve Faniel is entering his eighth season as the defensive coordinator. He will also serve as the Corsairs' secondary coach for the second straight season.
Prior to joining the UMass Dartmouth staff, Faniel coached the defensive line for three seasons at his alma mater, Westfield State.
In 2013, the Corsairs featured an opportunistic defense that led the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference in defensive touchdowns (5), while ranking second in fumble recoveries (10). Faniel's charges caused at least one turnover in all nine games, including a season-high six against Western Connecticut. First-year DaVon Fuller established an UMass Dartmouth single-game record for interceptions, picking off four Worcester State passes to lift the Corsairs to a dramatic victory. Fuller received national and regional honors for his record-breaking performance, garnering D3Football.com Team of the Week accolades and the prestigious Boston Globe Golden Helmet.
During his time on the UMass Dartmouth sideline, Faniel has tutored two Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Northeast All-Stars and 12 All-Conference recipients. Rich Braley, the single-season (122) and career leader in total tackles (348), represented the Corsairs on the ECAC Northeast teams in 2007, while John Cordasco, the career leader in tackles for a loss (33.5), was the most recent All-ECAC member in 2011. This past fall, Joe Teixeira and Derek Tarpey were voted to the inaugural All-MASCAC, first-team as linebacker selections.
The Wareham, Mass. product received All-South Coast Conference honors as a center and defensive lineman before attending Westfield State. Faniel, a four-year starter, helped the Owls compile an overall record of 30-11 between 2001 and 2004. Westfield State set a new program standard for single-season wins (10) en route to capturing the 2001 New England Football Conference Championship and earning the program's lone trip to the NCAA Division III Playoffs. The Owls also reached the 2002 ECAC Division III Northwest Championship Bowl against Cortland State after falling to NCAA-bound UMass Dartmouth in the conference championship game. The two-time All-NEFC honoree helped Westfield State led the nation in total defense in 2001 and 2002.
The 2005 graduate with a bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies is currently a physics teacher at Wareham High School.

Study Shows Average User Is Pretty Stupid When It Comes to Popups
Jason Mick

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The new study from the North Carolina State University's Psych department shows just how dumb the average user is when it comes to computer security. The study shows users are willing to do anything, including throwing security caution to the wind, to get rid of minor annoyances.
(Source: DailyTech)
A new study is giving computer savvy users a look at the "other" users' behavior
You often wonder how users fall for seemingly obvious ploys -- you know, the letter from Makib in Ethiopia seeking for donations for an orphanage, or perhaps the most recent
fake ticket emails that claim to have your ticket in a ZIP file
. To the computer savvy, these silly attempts might make for a good morning laugh, but security experts say there's nothing to laugh about when millions of naïve users fall for the scheme and their computers become part of a botnet, used to
launch devastating DoS attacks
A new study from the Psychology Department of North Carolina State University gives some insight into just how
easily tricked many users are
. On compromised websites one form of malware distribution is through popup windows. If users click to dismiss them, they often download malware onto their computers. So just how many users would be tricked into clicking?
The researchers crafted 4 dialog boxes and exposed 42 college students to them in a normal browsing atmosphere. Each box contained the cryptic message "The instruction at '0x77f41d24 referenced memory at '0x595c2a4c." The first one bore the markings of a standard Windows dialog, but the remainder had noticeable differences that should have warned users that it was malware.
In each of the dialogs putting the mouse over the "OK" button turned the cursor into a hand, a sign that it was a browser control, not a Windows dialog. The dialogs also all had minimize and maximize buttons. Starting with the second one, a browser status bar was added to the bottom. Finally the last one was made blatantly obvious by text that flashed from black on a white background to white on a black background.
To properly lure the college students into the ruse, they created a series of fake medical websites in Flash. The students were told they were going to be quizzed on the information on the sites after the test. The popups were then activated as the students were browsing the sites.
Of the 42 college students, 26 clicked the "OK" button on the most normal looking dialog, 25 clicked on each of the more obvious fakes, and 23 clicked on the most obvious fake, the one with the flashing text. This study should be welcome news to malware crafters -- college educated users will click obviously dangerous dialogs over 50 percent of the time.
In all only 9 users closed the dialogs. The rest minimized them, or dragged them out of the way, risky behaviors, as the next user at the computer could be exposed to the dialog. The time between the dialog appearing and the user clicking remained approximately constant for all the dialogs. This seems to indicate that the users did not even think much before clicking the foreign message.
In follow up questions, over half of students said the dialog boxes were a distraction from the task at hand and they would do anything to get rid of them. The study seems to indicate that computer exposure, with lack of understanding has bred an atmosphere where users are unsurprised by dialogs and GUIs, and care little for their contents.
While the study's authors suggested education of students to warn them of these kind of dangers, the apathy of the students towards the dialogs seems to bring the fruits of such education into question.
The study is appearing soon in the journal
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.

Am i right in thinking that if a female bumble stings you, her abdomen is ripped out and she dies.
Or are bumblebees like wasps, that can sting you over and over again??
Grateful for any info on this subject. Thanks all.
09 August 2012 06:09 PM #1
Bumblebees can sting many times, I've only just found that out myself…..........It's the honeybees who lose their inner bits and die :(
10 August 2012 01:00 PM #2
Thank you Paula for your response. Poor honeybees :-(
15 August 2012 09:07 PM #3
Per one of my books Bumblebees do die if they sting a person.
Their stings are designed to fight off insects, not people; if they sting another insect they can still retract their stingy bits despite the barbs, but their stings get stuck in human skin, tearing it from its body when it attempts to retract it & wounding the bee which will die soon afterwards.
15 August 2012 10:02 PM #4
Hi All,
I must have had several dozen BB stings all in all (probably more) - mainly when moving colonies.
All the bumblebee stings I've experienced confirm that the sting is not barbed and goes in and then immediately out again pretty rapidly and with no damage to the bee, which can and will sting you a second time if it chooses to. It certainly does not die having stung you.
The result from my human perspective is closely similar to the effects of a honey bee sting, ie. immediate pain, later some swelling, redness, etc which can last at some level for a day or three. But since the venom dose you get is much smaller, it might have a lower effect on humans than a honey bee sting.
However at a Talk on stings and their effects by a Prof from Oxford University, it was mentioned that some people get worse effects from BB stings than HB stings - and that was probably the case with me initially.
If a HB does break away and leave it's sting in you, it is quite likely to come back and want to try to sting you a second time - even though it no longer can. Yes, it will die, but I guess this will be hours later and meanwhile it will carry on functioning much as normal: and honey bees show no reluctance to defend their colony.
I hope this helps !
16 August 2012 01:57 PM #5
Hi Clive,
Thanks for your very interesting reply! It's such a shame you have been stung by so many bees. I have held loads of BB's especially last summer/autumn and haven't been stung…...yet. I am waiting for it.
How bizarre to hear of B's who will continue to defend their nests, even when dying, poor things but i suppose that's one of their roles within the hive.
Fascinating as usual Clive and very informative, thanks again
25 August 2012 11:17 PM #6
Hi alibumble,
Sorry, I should have come back to you on this ages ago - but perhaps better late than never !
If you are collecting a BB colony to allow it to be moved elsewhere, from the bee's viewpoint you deserve to be stung, since you are attacking the colony.
When I do this I work barehanded initially, since it is so much easier to get everything set up and in position. Then I put on a pair of thin rubber gloves (surgical type, but nitrile rubber) since the bees are much less prone to sting gloved hands.
But they can easily do so, since the sting can penetrate the thin rubber, if by accident I am clumsy.
I've had so many honey bee stings over the years that although they hurt a bit initially, they don't usually cause me much of a problem.
So I view BB stings as an inconvenience and not as a threat.
BUT someone who handles BBs in non-threat conditions like you should be at minimal risk of being stung - as would I be under such conditions.
The best bees to pick up are the drones - because they have no sting: and the easiest drones to recognise are B. lucorum drones, since they are so recognisable: but those of B. pratorum and B. lapidarius are also very distinctive !
So, for your BB party trick, opt to pick up B. lucorum (White-tailed BB) drones !
Yours Clive
Now here are some pictures of these three easily identifiable drones (males).
Look out for the little "powder-puff" of yellow hair on the bee's forehead !
Oh, and also be aware that the drone's yellow or red fur is likely to get sun-faded as they age.
B. lucorum is the White tailed bumblebee.
B. pratorum is the Early bumblebee.
B. lapidarius is the Red tailed bumblebee.

Thanks Clive once again for your very knowledgeable reply and for the gorgeous photo's of the lovely male bumble's. They are my favourites, mainly because they can't sting…lol. Beautiful babies.
All the best

reading your post Clive has given me a flashback!
The only time I have been stung by a bumblebee was when I was working at Queen's University Belfast.
We had just obtained a commercial B terrestris colony. I was working under a red light and attempting to add food to the box or something.
I was very clumsy and got far too close to the nest and a very determined worker attacked me. She stung me in my baby finger three times.
And I was wearing gloves!
Good times

Well you learn something new every day! I was under the illusion that bumblebees died once they had stung a human. I now stand corrected. It also makes me astonished that I've managed to amble about the garden getting very close to bumblebees without coming a cropper (am I rempting fate here?)...I have been 'buzzed' at a few times, when a bee lets it be know in no uncertain terms that I'm invading her personal space.

The Gators have what should be one of the best starting cornerback combinations in the nation in Loucheiz Purifoy and Marcus Roberson. Both are seasoned starters who have shown they can meet the demands of playing a great deal of man-to-man coverage in Will Muschamp's defensive scheme. Roberson, who has started since his true freshman season, has added size and strength and should be more effective altering routes at the line of scrimmage now that he's almost at 200 pounds. Purifoy is perhaps the best all-around athlete on the team, a player who also excels on special teams and will have a package of plays on offense at wide receiver. The coaches also feel good about backups at corner. Jaylen Watkins has started 19 games in his career, including 11 last season, and he also is capable of playing safety. Brian Poole saw playing time as a true freshman last season and has shown promising flashes in his short time at UF. The secondary also is expected to be impacted by two freshmen — one true (cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III) and one redshirt (safety Marcus Maye). Hargreaves was the No. 1 cornerback prospect in the nation and could see immediate playing time in nickel and dime situations. After overcoming a knee injury that slowed him early last fall, Maye was a scout team star who followed with a strong spring. Maye will compete for a starting role at one of the safety positions in preseason camp in August.
Florida has to replace both starting safeties — Matt Elam and Josh Evans. Elam was UF's biggest and most consistent playmaker on defense last season and was a first-round NFL draft pick. Evans brought a lot of stability and experience to the back end. The guys in line to step into the starting roles do not have a lot of experience at the position. Cody Riggs, who sat out the 2012 season with a fractured foot, made the move from cornerback to safety in the spring and is a bit undersized at 5-foot-9, 184 pounds. The other probable starter at safety is junior Jabari Gorman, who has seen most of his playing time the past two seasons on special teams. Maye and true freshman Marcell Harris are expected to compete for possible significant playing time, along with redshirt sophomore Valdez Showers.
Being a five-star prospect and the national defensive player of the year in high school guarantees nothing at the next level. But, having had Hargreaves in camp and seeing what he did in the all-star games, the coaches feel confident he's going to have an immediate impact in the secondary and on special teams. In his senior season at Tampa Wharton, Hargreaves had 110 tackles, five interceptions, five forced fumbles and also averaged 34 yards per kickoff return.

- About Plattsburgh
This spring break found one SUNY Plattsburgh class still in session – in Costa Rica.
Members of a global field study class traveled to that country to gain a better understanding of global connections and the challenges of conservation and sustainability.
"The class focused on a crucial component in the college mission – responsible citizenship in a sustainable global community," said Dr. Bryan Higgins, the director of international education and a professor of geography. "As such, class members met with government officials, international groups, non-governmental agencies and community-based organizations to search for the meaning of Pura Vida (the pure life) in Costa Rica."
Site visits highlighted ecological efforts and challenges in a country that has become a global icon for green development.
Through the experience, students, like ecology major Cody Carpenter, formed a greater appreciation of the impacts political ecology has on a society.
"Costa Rica is not full of a bunch of very poor, starving people," Carpenter said. "With a large middle class and an unemployment rate less than that of the United States, it is often their environment, with ecotourism and tropical agriculture, that makes them quite well off.
"It should also be recognized that an 'environment vs. people significance debate' is irrelevant, since people can't exist without the planet. This is why any understanding of the environment and how we impact it has immeasurable importance to every person ... whether wealthy, hungry, intelligent or foolish ... because without it we cannot survive."
Higgins said that student response has been overwhelmingly positive.
Math education major Veronica Reyes, for instance, found that the trip changed the way she viewed her life – and her world.
"This experience was life altering for me. I came back from Costa Rica loving life and having this desire to live an even greater adventure. I want to take advantage of everything around me, and explore not just foreign countries but my own environment as well."
"Students say that this is the coolest thing they've done – and not just the neatest college class," Higgins said. "They fell in love with the experience. It was magical.

I don't care that it's hotter than *&%$#@^! outside, I can't stop thinking about the upcoming holiday season! That means lots of parties and events. It's time to start thinking about dresses! Instead of the basic LBD, why not try a LBLD? A Little Black Lace Dress. I just invented that by-the-way.
Lace doesn't have to be tacky…which I used to think as a teenager. You couldn't pay me to wear it. Today, I'll take a chic lace dress and rock it! And these dresses can carry over into almost all seasons. What I love the most about today's black lace dress is how they're not just a basic black. You can find the lace over nude and metallic tones too!
I found a few great examples below. There are a lot of styles to choose from in a range of prices. I'm eyeing a lot of them. I need to stop with these style trends, I always end up wanting all of my picks! LOL!
Which black lace dress catches your eye?

Etch-A-Sketch Inventor Andre Cassagnes Dies In France
Andre Cassagnes died on January 16th in a Paris suburb. His name is not immediately known by most of us, but his invention, the Etch A Sketch, is one of the most iconic toys of the last 50 years - a staple of the Ohio Art Company. Cassagnes, a French electrician, came up with the idea in 1950 after peeling a decal off of a light switch plate and noticing the graphite stuck to the plastic surface of the plate that was easily marked with a pencil.

A sugar alcohol is a kind of alcohol prepared from sugars.[1] These organic compounds are a class of polyols, also called polyhydric alcohol, polyalcohol, or glycitol. They are white, water-soluble solids that occur naturally and are used widely in the food industry as thickeners and sweeteners. In commercial foodstuffs, sugar alcohols are commonly used in place of table sugar (sucrose), often in combination with high intensity artificial sweeteners to counter the low sweetness. Unlike sugars, sugar alcohols do not contribute to the formation of cavities.
Production and structureEdit
Sugar alcohols have the general formula H(HCHO)n+1H, whereas sugars have two fewer hydrogen atoms, H(HCHO)nHCO. The sugar alcohols differ in chain length. Most have five- or six carbon chains, because they are derived from pentoses (five-carbon sugars) and hexoses (six-carbon sugars), respectively. They have one OH group attached to each carbon. They are further differentiated by the relative orientation (stereochemistry) of these OH groups. Unlike sugars, which tend to exist as rings, sugar alcohols do not. They can however be dehydrated to give cyclic ethers, e.g. sorbitol can be dehydrated to isosorbide.
Sugar alcohols occur naturally and at one time, mannitol was obtained from natural sources. Today, they are often obtained by hydrogenation of sugars, using Raney nickel catalysts.[1] The conversion of glucose and mannose to sorbitol and mannitol is given:
More than a million tons of sorbitol are produced in this way annually. Xylitol and lacticol are obtained similarly. Erythritol on the other hand is obtained by fermentation of glucose and sucrose.
Health effectsEdit
Of these, xylitol is perhaps the most popular due to its similarity to sucrose in visual appearance and sweetness. Sugar alcohols do not contribute to tooth decay.[2][3]
However, consumption of sugar alcohols does affect blood sugar levels, although less than that of "regular" sugar (sucrose). Sugar alcohols may also cause bloating and diarrhea when consumed in excessive amounts.[4]
Common sugar alcoholsEdit
- Methanol (1-carbon)
- Glycol (2-carbon)
- Glycerol (3-carbon)
- Erythritol (4-carbon)
- Threitol (4-carbon)
Both disaccharides and monosaccharides can form sugar alcohols; however, sugar alcohols derived from disaccharides (e.g. maltitol and lactitol) are not entirely hydrogenated because only one aldehyde group is available for reduction.
The simplest sugar alcohols, ethylene glycol and methanol, are sweet but notoriously toxic chemicals used in antifreeze. The more complex sugar alcohols are for the most part nontoxic.
Sugar alcohols as food additivesEdit
Name Sweetness relative to sucrose Food energy
Sweetness per
food energy, relative to sucrose
Arabitol 0.7 0.2 14 Erythritol 0.812 0.213 15 Glycerol 0.6 4.3 0.56 HSH 0.4–0.9 3.0 0.52–1.2 Isomalt 0.5 2.0 1.0 Lactitol 0.4 2.0 0.8 Maltitol 0.9 2.1 1.7 Mannitol 0.5 1.6 1.2 Sorbitol 0.6 2.6 0.92 Xylitol 1.0 2.4 1.6 Compare with:
1.0 4.0 1.0
As a group, sugar alcohols are not as sweet as sucrose, and they have less food energy than sucrose. Their flavor is like sucrose, and they can be used to mask the unpleasant aftertastes of some high intensity sweeteners. Sugar alcohols are not metabolized by oral bacteria, and so they do not contribute to tooth decay.[2][3] They do not brown or caramelize when heated.
In addition to their sweetness, some sugar alcohols can produce a noticeable cooling sensation in the mouth when highly concentrated, for instance in sugar-free hard candy or chewing gum. This happens, for example, with the crystalline phase of sorbitol, erythritol, xylitol, mannitol, lactitol and maltitol. The cooling sensation is due to the dissolution of the sugar alcohol being an endothermic (heat-absorbing) reaction, one with a strong heat of solution.[5]
Sugar alcohols are usually incompletely absorbed into the blood stream from the small intestines which generally results in a smaller change in blood glucose than "regular" sugar (sucrose). This property makes them popular sweeteners among diabetics and people on low-carbohydrate diets. However, like many other incompletely digestible substances, overconsumption of sugar alcohols can lead to bloating, diarrhea and flatulence because they are not absorbed in the small intestine. Some individuals experience such symptoms even in a single-serving quantity. With continued use, most people develop a degree of tolerance to sugar alcohols and no longer experience these symptoms. As an exception, erythritol is actually absorbed in the small intestine and excreted unchanged through urine, so it contributes no calories even though it is rather sweet.[1][4]
The table above presents the relative sweetness and food energy of the most widely-used sugar alcohols. Despite the variance in food energy content of sugar alcohols, EU labeling requirements assign a blanket value of 2.4 kcal/g to all sugar alcohols.

Survivors want memorial for Everglades jet crash
Published: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 6:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 6:25 p.m.
MIAMI — The survivors of a 1972 jetliner crash in the Florida Everglades are trying to raise money for a memorial honoring the 101 people who died.
Saturday marks the 40th anniversary of the crash of Eastern Flight 401 from New York to Miami. The cockpit crew had become distracted with a faulty landing gear light and didn't notice that the plane was descending into the Everglades. About 75 people survived.
Some of those surviving passengers and crew members say it's time for a permanent memorial to honor the dead. They tell the Sun Sentinel (http://sunsent.nl/UnN8kQ ) that they hope to raise $15,000 for a granite block inscribed with the victims' names.
"We want to get something that's permanent, because the memory lives on forever," said Ron Infantino of Coral Gables, a passenger who survived the crash about 18 miles northwest of Miami.
Infantino and about 40 other survivors and their relatives planned to meet Saturday at the ValuJet Memorial in southwest Miami-Dade County. ValuJet Flight 592 crashed in 1996, killing all 110 people onboard, about 2 miles away from the Eastern crash site.
"That's about as close as we'll get to the actual site," said Beverly Raposa, a flight attendant who kept crash survivors calm by encouraging them to sing Christmas carols until rescuers arrived.
Two flower wreaths are to be placed at the memorial, one for the victims of the Eastern crash and one for victims of the ValuJet crash. Bells were to be rung for each crash victim.
A candlelight ceremony was planned later Saturday at the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant near Miami International Airport.
The memorial that the Eastern crash survivors want would be placed on the grounds of aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss' mansion in Miami Springs, near the airport.
"In our hearts, it was like yesterday," said Raposa, now vice president of a financial marketing company in West Palm Beach. "In our hearts, we carry 101 passengers and crewmembers who didn't make it out that night."
Infantino's wife of just 20 days, Lilly, died in the accident. They had been returning to South Florida after visiting relatives in New York. He suffered severe arm and leg injuries.
"I was naked in the water for hours before they found me. It was horrible," Infantino said.

We recently reported about a dealership in NJ that was caught selling flooded cars to consumers without disclosing the damage. Unfortunately this is not some rare anomaly, so how do you know if the used car you're buying was in a major storm?
CarFax claims that there could be upwards of 800,000 used cars on the road that may be involved with "title washing," a practice where someone illegally alters documents on a car that was salvaged or totaled. Often these cars are damaged in states affected by major storms, then moved elsewhere to be sold to unsuspecting buyers.
Of course this is a great plug for a company like CarFax who charges dealerships and customers a fee to run these reports. But keep in mind there are other organizations that give detailed vehicle history reports, like Autocheck.com and these reports do not always tell the full story. They are your first line of defense, but more diligence is necessary.
I have mentioned before that it is critical to have any used car you buy from either a private seller or a dealership inspected by an independent mechanic. Any resistance to this idea on the part of the seller is a major warning sign. Given that many of these cars are flood damaged, there are a few things you as a buyer can lookout for when inspecting a vehicle.
Is it wet, damp, or muddy?
If you see or feel any type of significant moisture or even dried mud on the seats, floors, glove compartment, tracks of the seat, or in the trunk, that car was most likely flooded. Also, look for moisture buildup or fog on the front and rear lights and the instrument panel.
Does it smell?
Often flooded cars will have a musty odor in the interior. Get your nose real close to the carpet, does it have a mildew or even a low tide scent? Trust me, no amount of Fabreeze can get rid of that.
Does everything match?
Check for stains on the floors and upholstery, especially under the front seats; often people that are selling these flooded cars do a quick "once over" and don't get the the hard-to-reach spots. Pay close attention to carpet or material that looks like it was cut and re-sown.
Is there excessive rust?
Some cars with age on them have small amounts of rust that can be seen. However if the wires under the dashboard or components in the engine compartment have significant rust on them that is a major sign of water damage.
One place you should definitely look is in the trunk where the spare tire sits, most scam artists will clean the trunk carpet but will forget to lift it and take care of any damage underneath. If the spare tire area has any mud, water, or rust this is most likely a water damaged vehicle. And remember just because your area was not affected by floods or storms doesn't mean that those vehicles won't end up for sale there.

Keys to Engaging Older Adults @ your library
Tips and tools on assisting older adults from the ALA Office for Literacy and Outreach Services
The Accessibility Factor
Having a library accessible to older adults is more than just following the letter of the law. Older adults may need extra assistance due to auditory, visual, or mobility impairment. To provide the highest level of service for these users, libraries need to anticipate their needs - which means having resources and equipment, as well as a trained staff prepared to utilize them. ASCLA (The Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies) has tip sheets for how to best serve people with a variety of special needs (http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/ascla/asclaprotools/accessibilitytipsheets/default.cfm).
Here are some tips that can improve service for all older adults:
Announce yourself visually or auditorily, as appropriate, and don't leave without the patron knowing. Be sure to speak patiently with the customer, not through a caregiver. Be on eye level and face your customer directly; speak clearly without jargon.
Offer assistive listening devices that block out ambient noise. (i.e., audioloops and FM or infrared systems)
Have a TTY (text telephone) or video phone for the hearing impaired to access the library.
Offer an assistive listening device in a quieter space to have a one-on-one conversation or reference interview. Persons with impaired vision can utilize several accessibility features. Provide real-time captioning or CART (www.cartinfo.org)
Provide public access computers with screen reader software that reads digital text aloud, screen magnification features, and scanners to feed print to either a magnifier or the screen reader.
Offer handheld magnifiers, large print materials, audio recordings, closed-circuit TV (CCTV) enlargers, enlarging photocopiers, and descriptive videos/DVDs with voice-over narration of visual plot elements. Assure proper lighting is available, without glare.
Promote the talking books program (www.loc.gov/nls/) that provides audio materials and Braille for persons who can't utilize standard print due to a visual or physical disability.
Consider a drive-up window and book drops with access from a car to benefit those who have difficulty getting into the library.
Monitor aisles for obstructions, like step stools, that can make them impassible.
Provide a wheelchair or scooter for persons who cannot stand for long periods of time or walk very far. Make sure there is seating everywhere someone might need to rest.
Treat service animals, wheelchairs, walkers and other devices as extensions of the person and do not touch without invitation.
Homebound Users
Library users who, for medical reasons, may be temporarily or permanently unable to leave home should have access to library service.
Consider books-by-mail, home visits, institutional deposit collections, institutional visits, accessible bookmobiles, and outreach programming.
Consider OPAL (Online Programming for All Libraries) and other online social tools to bring programs and shared experiences. (www.opal-online.org)

SunLord - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkYou know what I would like to see in case reviews photos of the case with different size motherboards. I don't care about them testing the case with all the different sizes but it would be nice to see what a Full ATX and an E-ATX would look like installed in the cases that support them using a MicroATX MB is nice for a constant variable in testing across all cases but gives you zero clue on how well a motherboard you would actually use in this case would fit or look Reply
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkI agree here. I understand the reson to stick with one size mainboard for all testing, but I'm very skeptical of the clams of some of these case manufacturers when they say their case will hold "XL-ATX" and "E-ATX". Get one of those EVGA SR-2s and slap that baby in there, heh. Reply
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkreason*; claims*. Sheesh, my error checker was way on the blink on this post. Reply
Barbarossa - Monday, January 28, 2013 - linkThe SR-2 is HPTX, most cases don't claim compatibility with that.
By E-ATX most people mean a Rampage or Maximus board from Asus or similar, which isn't actually the same as the TRUE E-ATX spec.
XL-ATX is kind of a made-up spec, but it was used to define longer than standard boards (more than 8 slots). Reply
ForeverAlone - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkIt's nice to see that twin-120mm fans on the front are standard now. Reply
number58 - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkI noticed that the numbers from the recently reviewed phantom 630 were not in the tables to compare with this case. Any particular reason? Reply
vol7ron - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkNot sure this would have much of an impact on results, but do you take ambient temperature before/during (maybe even after) tests? Reply
pensive69 - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkhow about a marriage between a small home or dorm room fridge maker and a case maker? you'd be able to do your install INSIDE an actual fridge with insulation and temp controls provided in a system designed to work at 35 - 45 F anyway?
ambient air solutions start around 30 - 40 F higher out of the box Reply
Beenthere - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkSome of the PC case makers seem to have lost the plot...
There is a reason why the original tower PC cases were built the way they were with no openings in the top of the case. Here's a hint: what blows out can also fall in...
While in theory an open top allows warm air to escape easily, it also allows dirt/dust/liquids/small objects, etc. to enter - even when unintended or unwanted. Thus top openings in PC cases are a bad idea on several fronts including NOISE, for those who don't already know.
As far as buying this Rosewill case based on it's "thermal headroom", that is a sick joke. It hardly matters if your OC'd CPU runs at 49C or 51C as either is well within the low end of the operating range for ANY CPU. Hell 59C isn't even an issue.
With all of the disadvantages to this case design be it the top opening, which being raised is REALLY bad, the noise, the shoddy construction, the excessive fan noise, the screened side panel and the excessive price, this unit can hardly be recommended for anyone with a clue. Yes some folks will buy it for it's "stealthy" look or it's pretty LEDs but not anyone with a clue, especially when you can buy a quality conventional PC casr for ~$70.
It's actually quite silly what the PC case market has become in recent years to entice the 13 year old kids. I'm surprised they aren't selling PC cases with tit and arse plastered on the outside of them - aka Lara Croft/Anjie Jolie, like they do GPU cards. Those would fly out the door faster than they could produce them. The 13 year old kids could have their favorite fantasy babe half naked sprawling all over the outside of their PC case. Oh baby, I can't wait for these...soon to be on shelves no doubt. :( Reply
1d107 - Thursday, January 24, 2013 - linkCompletely agree. In older days I tested an Antec P-180 with a 130W Core-i7 and didn't find any advantages of having the top fan. And now, when CPUs have lower TDPs, this becomes even less relevant.
But, mot of all, this case looks plain ugly on the outside. Look at all those unused mounting holes on the side panel. Even the most hidden corner of my closet doesn't deserve this. Reply
Galatian - Thursday, January 24, 2013 - linkActually you are missing the point of the opening. It is (at least for some persons) the best spot to put in the radiator in their water cooling loop. And I believe people who buy cases with as many fan screw holes as this are usually the market demography this case is designed for. A complete silent freak (who doesn't use watercooling) will probably just get a smaller case with noise insulation. Reply
WeaselITB - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkI don't understand the slight against this case (and others) for lack of a fan controller. Sure, back in the day when motherboards had 1 fan plug for your CPU (if you were lucky), I could understand, but doesn't everyone just plug the fans into the motherboard and let the automatic thermal monitoring control them? It seems odd to ding the case for not including a fan controller, but then ding the motherboard for not having enough fan plugs on the board (which has happened in other reviews).
Which is it?
-Weasel Reply
chaos215bar2 - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkThis is pretty much what I thought. I have no interest in a manual fan controller, builtin or otherwise. The inclusion of one is actually a drawback, since it wastes space with controls that I don't want or need.
There's definitely room for a case to do something really innovative in this area, but until that happens, I'll either use the motherboard's builtin thermal controls or, if there aren't enough headers, I'll use one of the various third party options. That way I end up with a system that doesn't need any manual intervention for thermal control and has exactly the features and behavior that I want. Reply
Onus - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkI also agree with this. Furthermore, sometimes proprietary fans are used, for example Antec's, with the HL (or HML) switches.
Although I've been satisfied with all of the Rosewill cases I've used so far, that top fan problem looks like a dealbreaker on this one. Reply
dtolios - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkI agree that the manual fun controller is kinda outdated. I would prefer a smart placed pwm splitter with aux power supplied directly through the psu. Long cabling and sharing a "fan xpert" or equiv smart fan header with more than one fan is more than enough. Imho Reply
ezekiel68 - Thursday, January 24, 2013 - linkIt's good that you pointed out the top grommet flaw, but I'm not sure it's fatal. Most radiator designs have the screws pointing into the case with the screw heads on the exterior. Knowing the grommets could come loose, a simple set of four (slightly) larger black washers could be used to ensure a cooling unit would not fall in.
Should this be necessary? No, of course not. Rosewill should certainly address the issue. But, given the other pluses of the case, it's worth noting there is an easy work-around. Reply

I must have missed that info in the past. Interesting it is a New Egg brand. Reply
Mike89 - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkLooks like a pretty nice case to me. The way the sides connect are no issue to me, I've had a lot of them and they are no problem to open and close (I think the reviewer made too big a deal out of that). What's attractive to me is the extended side and top for more room inside the case and I think it looks good. Another really good thing is all fan's are included. You hardly ever see that in any case even the expensive ones. Adding a fan controller would be a cheap and easy thing to do here. The price is about $100 now so I think it's a pretty good deal. I think the reviewer should spend less time on cooling comparisons and more on the case itself. This review didn't even pop off the front to show the fans. I personally could care less about cooling comparisons and skip them when I'm reading about a case. I mean with front, rear, side and top fans I already know what the airflow and cooling is going to be like. Thought this review could have been more thorough. Reply

Archie Adams has been a patient man, but he's not prepared to wait the better part of decade for his new apartment to finally be built.
Nearly three years have passed since Archie put down a $39,200 deposit for a one-bedroom unit in the Southbank development, Verge.
The 210-apartment high-rise was supposed to be finished by the middle of next year at the latest, but the City Road site remains virtually untouched.
"There's no way they can finish it in six months, so now the developer wants me to sign a new contract giving them another 42 months [3.5 years] to finish," Mr Adams said.
"They told me if I signed, I get all these whitegood goodies, and if I didn't I'd lose out and still be stuck in my contract. I just want my money back now."
It's a dilemma about 150 other people who bought off-the-plan in Verge will face as sales contracts signed in 2010 and early-to-mid 2011 hit so-called "sunset clause" deadlines, which are expected to run out before the project is finished.
"Sunset clauses" set a deadline for when a property must be completed; if the deadline is breached, an owner may be entitled to their deposit back and can walk away from their contract.
The scramble for developer 608 Property Group to get original purchasers on board is only the latest in a series of problems for the estimated $100 million development since it was "fast-tracked" by Labor planning minister Justin Madden in 2009.
Lacklustre off-the-plan sales and financing problems reportedly delayed its original developer, DEC Australia, from breaking ground on schedule. The Indian-owned company eventually sold the site, next to Crown Casino car park and the Kingsway overpass, to 608 Property Group for $7.61 million in October.
Soon after, Mr Adams got a letter from estate agents Knight Frank, informing him that construction was about to start and he needed to "re-sign ... a new contract".
In return, he'd receive about $10,000 worth of whitegoods, including a washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, fridge, blinds and an air-conditioner.
But buried about halfway into the new 150-page contract was a clause giving the developer another 42 months from the date of signing to register the plan of subdivision for the development, the first major step in completing and effecting settlement on his apartment.
The Knight Frank missive also assured buyers that 608 Property Group would "honour" the purchase prices on the contracts. "This is of benefit to yourself as ... construction costs have increased and property prices from when you purchased have moved significantly," it said.
The claim was made despite a letter from DEC Australia's solicitors to buyers noting that 608 Property Group was "bound to observe the covenants and obligations" of the contracts after the sale.
In other words, the new developer is obliged to uphold the agreements in the original contracts, including the sunset clause.
Mr Adams was also left wondering just what his yet-to-be-built $392,000 apartment would be worth today, let alone when it's finally completed.
Online real estate advertisements show one-bedroom units in Verge are currently being offered from $309,000 to $433,000, depending on their position in the building.
"I'd had enough, so I went to my solicitor. I told (the agents) I wouldn't sign and I wanted my deposit back, but they're going to make me wait until July when my contract runs out," Mr Adams said.
"I just wonder how many other people who've bought there understand how long they might have to wait and that they don't have to do this."
Jason Van Der Slot, director of 608 Property Group, said the new contracts were only a formality and that Verge would be completed before the deadline set in many of the existing contracts.
"We're a new developer and we would prefer to enter into a contract directly rather than have them assigned to us, and we'd like to extend the sunset dates. If not, we'll rely on the old contract which is great – still enforceable," he said.
"So for the inconvenience of people having to do that, and all the hoo-ha they've had to put up [with] from the previous developer, we'll supply a white-good package as a sign of good faith."
Mr Andrew said seeking a lengthy term on a sunset clause, which starts on the date a contract is signed, was "normal practice" in the property market.
He said a "substantial" number of the purchasers had already signed the new contracts.
Construction on Verge, which is 70 per cent sold, is reportedly due to begin early next year and be completed within 24 months.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
A new white paper unveiled at The Motivation Show this week provides planners with arguments to justify their 2010 budgets and tips for how to proceed if those budgets are cut.

 Prepared by the Incentive Marketing Association's Recognition Council, the paper, "2010 Recognition RX: Engaging Employees For Economic Recovery," sums up current thinking and argues that recognition programs pay off, even during a recession.

 For example, it notes: "Hay Group Insight collected data from 41 organizations and over 1 million employees worldwide. These companies used employee engagement strategies, including recognition and rewards. After comparing the results of employee opinion surveys conducted in late 2008 or early 2009 with survey results from the same clients taken prior to the downturn, Hay Group found that more than 75 percent of these organizations realized improvements in their survey scores regardless of the economic downturn."

 But long-term thinking is not in vogue right now. "Realizing that the economy is starting to show signs of recovery, we thought it important to examine current thinking and results about the use of recognition and rewards to help business leaders and HR professionals plan for 2010," says Peter Hart, president of New York-based Rideau Recognition and president of the Recognition Council. "What we found is that companies that continued to focus on employee recognition also continued to have better results during the challenges of the last two years. So, it's clear that all companies should maintain programs to promote results and retain good employees as the economy recovers."

Part 2: After all these years in business, Ferretti still manages to retain the optimism of an adventurer.
By Alan Harper - November 2003
Azimut's purchase of the family-owned Italian sportboat builder Gobbi last year was less an attempt to increase turnover than a strategic move to try to prevent British builders from having things entirely their own way in the Mediterranean markets. Nothing could better illustrate the differing styles between Azimut and Ferretti than the way Vitelli managed the acquisition. He is convinced of the virtues of central control, while Ferretti has generally kept existing founders and managers in place and given them the freedom to run their own show. Vitelli at first kept on Angelo Gobbi, the company's founder, but also sent in his own manager at the top, Carla de Maria. Within months the old structure broke down, and Gobbi left.
"The philosophy of the entrepreneur did not match that of the group," Vitelli explains carefully. "So we had to split. We tried to do it the Ferretti way, while being ready with a three-year plan to create a management capable of replacing Mr. Gobbi." Succession planning for a man perhaps not quite ready to be succeeded—surely that was why he left? "One of the reasons," says Vitelli inscrutably.
His doggedness on the point is understandable. In 1985 Azimut took the enormously risky step of buying the Benetti shipyard, which even the company's official history acknowledges was nearly a disaster. The existing management structure couldn't deal with the vastly increased size of the organization, and Vitelli allowed himself to be distracted by the Azimut Atlantic Challenger record attempt. He has maintained a laser-sharp focus on boatbuilding ever since and a strict system of financial control.
But this doesn't mean he's constantly looking over people's shoulders. "I report every week or so, for an hour or two," says Massimo Perotti, head of the Azimut division and Vitelli's most senior manager. "He knows I will tell him everything. We have a close relationship; there is great trust, and delegation is very high." Vitelli takes a keen interest in the development of every new boat and will give his opinion, but not force it. "He has never vetoed anything," says Perotti, and that includes the egg-shape windows of 1997's Azimut 58, one of the most widely imitated styling innovations of all time. "But that doesn't stop him complaining afterwards if he doesn't like it!" adds Perotti, 42, who has worked for Vitelli for nearly 20 years.
After all these years in business, Ferretti still manages to retain the optimism of an adventurer. "Azimut? Excellent group, excellent company, with a different mentality," he says. His management techniques also differ from Vitelli's, particularly with regard to how he deals with acquisitions. "If you have a good manager or the founder—for example in Pershing and Apreamare—it's very easy," he says breezily. "If you change, you are crazy. But if you don't have them, like in Riva, you need to put in good managers."

Waffles aren't just for breakfast, you know, nor do they always have to be sweet. They have a secret savory side that's downright delicious.
We've already turned biscuits into waffles, so why not cornbread too?
Turns out cornbread waffles are pretty darn fantastic, if I do say so myself. While maybe not quite as crispy as a traditional buttermilk waffle, they have a tender crumb and nutty flavor that makes for a fabulous savory foundation. I mean, really, anything you'd serve with cornbread you could serve atop these waffles. Our favorite? The chili cheese waffles. With a dollop of sour cream and some fresh cilantro, they are a hearty and satisfying dinner, no question about it.
But these waffles are also great topped with a fried egg and hollandaise sauce or a salad of fresh and spicy greens. You can also mix in various herbs or cheeses into the batter itself for even more flavor.
Visit the KitchenAid® Kitchenthusiast™ blog for the recipe »
Now, let's take a moment to talk about this waffle maker.
Excuse me. Waffle BAKER.
I've used my fair share of waffle makers. I think I've owned 3 different models over the years. And this one is leaps and bounds above the rest. The waffles are wonderfully thick and perfectly golden brown. And it makes two waffles at once. I don't think I need to present any arguments as to why two is better than one.
Just don't overfill it.
Thanks to KitchenAid, I am excited to be able to give away one KitchenAid® Waffle Baker, valued at $149.99, to one lucky L&OO reader.

I spent last weekend in Appleton and had a chance to visit The Cozzy Corner on Friday afternoon.
There's a strong musical theme throughout the restaurant.
The special of the day was hot ribs and chicken; I kept the chicken spicy but chose mild ribs. Sides were mac & cheese and red beans & rice.
The ribs were very good despite the absence of a smoke ring. They had good flavor and a nice amount of chew, and the sauce wasn't too sweet.
The chicken was fried and then coated with "hell sauce", and it definitely had a tasty kick! The beans were outstanding with nice pieces of spicy sausage, and the baked mac & cheese was a nice complement to the heat of the chicken and beans. Usually I take more photos of my food but I was too busy eating and my hands were a mess.
And to wash it all down I had an orange soda from local (New London) bottler Flavor 8.
The Cozzy Corner is a definite asset to Appleton and I'd like to stop there again the next time I'm in town.
