Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/6/2009 (2998 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
GIROUX -- How the heck did you do that? Gordon Hornan asked his budding magician son, Philip.
"Can you keep a secret, Dad?" Philip asked him.
Well, yeah, sure, said his father.
"So can I," Philip replied.
It would be a shame if Philip's Magical Paradise, the only magic museum in Western Canada, were a secret to many Manitobans. It's a delight for kids and grown-ups alike.
When Philip, the Hornans' youngest of four sons, was dying of cancer, he wrote a letter with the instruction that it only be opened after his death. He even sealed the envelope with Scotch Tape and wrote across the tape in such a way that he would know if anyone opened it.
The envelope contained individual notes to family members and other loved ones, telling them what made them special in Philip's eyes. There was also a request for Mom and Dad: Don't throw out his magic stuff!
Gordon and Marilyn did better than that. They turned the Giroux United Church, built in 1904, into a museum with a castle exterior, and called it Philip's Magical Paradise. There they keep Philip's magic and many other magic tricks and optical illusions, as well as artifacts donated by magicians from across North America.
None of this is new. The museum opened 18 years ago. What's amazing is the farm couple has kept the museum going -- and kept it fresh and fun with new tricks and added artifacts from across the magic world. That's another kind of magic.
"Why didn't it just peter out, you mean?" said Gordon, rephrasing the reporter's question.
Marilyn explains. "Philip's motto was, 'Keep the magic in life.' And that's what we carry on for him."
The museum is in the hamlet of Giroux on Highway 311, just before you get to Steinbach. Manitoba magicians perform there between 2-4 p.m on Sundays in July and August.
One section of the museum is dedicated to old padlocks and skeleton keys and even a collection of handcuffs. Picking locks was a big part of Philip's magic act.
"He loved nothing better than to go to any RCMP detachment and ask to be locked up," said Gordon. Then he would pick the lock and escape. It was even better if they would put him in handcuffs.
He did the trick at Stony Mountain Penitentiary, too. The penitentiary later donated the jail cell to the museum.
World famous escape artist Dean Gunnarson mentored Philip. They began to hang out together when they met after a performance by Dean at the Children's Hospital. (Philip would also perform magic in the hospital for other patients.)
They once travelled together from Winnipeg to Regina, and, as Marilyn tells it, "the boys had to stop at every police station and ask to be locked up. I just stayed in the car and read."
The parents kept two doves Philip used in his magic tricks. One dove was taught not to fly off his hand, to bow to the audience, and to give Philip a kiss. The dove continued to do those tricks years after Philip's passing.
"In our house, there was never a dull moment with Philip," said Gordon.
The museum is augmented with all kinds of trick displays and moving things. A giant rabbit pulls a magician out of a hat. A static ball makes your hair stand on end. There are moving dolls, like one of a boy performing the old saw-a-woman-in-half trick.
"That little guy is cutting his sister in half," quipped Gordon. "He's got a lot of half-sisters."
The leg-pulling by Gordon and Marilyn is part of the museum experience, too. They come across as the two most trustworthy people in the world. By the end of the visit, you may not believe a word they say.
"Hey, we have fun," said Marilyn.
"The fun of it is we get to meet so many people," said Gordon. "As they say, laughter is the best medicine."
There are showcase displays, like those donated by Dean Gunnarson -- including a barrel Gunnarson escaped from -- and some from the late Winnipeg magician Doug Henning. There's also a magic-themed gift store attached.
It's a private museum, so it's compact. Visitors can also bring lunch to a picnic grounds and shelter, with a playground, that's a half-block away.
Philip was spiritual, hence the museum's name. "He believed he was going to meet the greatest magicians of all, God and Jesus Christ. He called it the Magical Paradise," explained Marilyn.
Philip passed away in 1986, a little over two months after the road trip to Regina, at the age of 15.
Philip's Magical Paradise is open 7-9 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 1-6 p.m. on weekends. If neither Marilyn or Gordon are in, there will be a note saying to fetch them from two doors down, where they live. The season runs from mid-May to the end of September.

Appealing Itinerary, Wonderful Staff But....: Azamara Journey Cruise Review by Dididi
Overall Member Rating
Appealing Itinerary, Wonderful Staff But....
Destination: Asia
Embarkation: Mumbai (Bombay)
Before I comment on our visits to other ports of call, let me address Male in the Maldives. Over the summer, I asked fellow Cruise Critic board members about onshore excursions in Male since none were offered by Azamara. Regent, which was in Male the same day as our ship, was offering several onshore excursions (private beaches, submarine). One of the board members replied that the Azamara More video for this cruise noted that there would be a "surprise" for guests as the Journey would stop at a "private" island, and that he hoped the ship would perhaps provide a barbecue on the beach. I had not watched the video of Claudius and Eddie sitting on an uncomfortable-looking couch because the videos for other itineraries were (and are) visually unappealing and not very informative (i.e., I love shopping). But hearing about the "surprise" at a "private" island made me dream about a barbecue on a pristine beach -- a precursor, perhaps, of the Azamazing special excursions for 2013. Alas, the surprise at the private island turned out to be merely a marketing ploy. The staff on-board did not know about the video -- they found out at the shore excursion presentation -- and Captain Idiakidis wisely decided against dropping off hundreds of passengers on an island without electricity or restroom facilities, and only 20 lounge chairs, from which the last passengers would board the tenders in the dark (after 5pm). Azamara Miami had not done their homework, so passengers were notified a day before we arrived to Male that there was no local outfitter up to Azamara's standards -- yet Regent had made arrangements for its passengers months in advance -- but there would be a tent at the dock where passengers could make private arrangements. We were further notified about the beach on Male Island -- one of the world's most densely populated places -- where women would have to bathe in t-shirts and shorts given that it was a Muslim beach. Sounded like fun!?! We ended up joining 20+ passengers on a beach day at Faru Club, an island resort 45 minutes from Male by boat. Beautiful white sandy beach that stretched forever, lots of fishes and even some baby sharks, regular bathing suits. No barbecue, however.
Mumbai - we arrived a day early and took two private day tours with Mumbai Magic. Fabulous, and we saw more than we expected during our limited time at this city. Our second day's tour included the transfer to the ship; did not have to wait or walk in the heat. Would recommend this company to others.
Goa - we took the churches of Goa shore excursion; it was very good. Well organized and run. On our second day, we took an excellent private tour with Goa Magic visiting old colonial houses, the Rachol Seminary and a market. The overnight stay definitely allowed us to do a lot.
Cochi - we arranged an overnight houseboat backwaters tour with Wilson Tours, which included a quick visit to Fort Cochi and a cooking class on the second day. The visit to the backwaters was the highlight of our trip, so peaceful.
Male - see above
Colombo, Sri Lanka - we took one of the city tours, which was very good. During our visit to the Galle Face Hotel, we saw the wedding party and guests of a very fancy wedding. With the wedding party were the members of a dance troupe in beautiful local costumes. That evening, the ship offered a local dance show with a similar troupe on the pool deck, so it was great to unexpectedly get a preview of the costumes. As in Goa and Cochi, the ship docked in the middle of a huge industrial pier, so there were no shuttle buses or quick access to town. This was not Azamara's fault, but it was a challenge. Upon our return to the ship around noon, I asked a taxi driver who was standing next to the ship how much it would cost to go back in town. The price that he quoted went down considerably when I returned with a similar request two hours later, and we were able to "escape" the pier to visit a couple of places not included in the morning's tour.
Galle, Sri Lanka - we took the tender to the ship's shuttle to this fort town and walked around. We also got on a tuk-tuk -- cleaner and in better shape than many we saw in India -- and had a blast. While Colombo is a large city, Galle is an easy stroll, with plenty of small shops. A relaxing day ashore.
Chennai - we took the Mamalapuram tour with the ship; a magical, must-see place. The Mamalapuram complex has the most persistent trinket/postcard sellers we encountered during our trip. To say "no thank you" four times was often not enough. But since they could not enter the temple site areas, we got a respite. But you have been warned.
Our transfer to the Chennai airport for our 430am flight was well coordinated by the ship's concierge staff. Regarding meals, I had never seen that many people at the main dining room. Wow! Meals were very good, and if few were memorable, it's more important to note that our special requests were honored with a smile despite the bi-zillion other diners. We ended up going to the buffet upstairs more than in previous trips, especially on special dining nights (Greek, Indian, etc.) and there was hardly anyone there. We found the pool grill improved from last year, and had plenty of meals at that venue.
Regarding the pool area, we were all warned against hoarding beach chairs, but that was never an issue -- and we were in the pool every single day. We always found a pair of lounge chairs near the pool readily available.
Regarding entertainment, the highlight for us was the Sri Lankan dance troupe. Slava and Alina were amazing, as was the rest of the dance crew. The guest performers did not appeal to us, but might have to others.
I cannot count how many yummy skim lattes and cappuccinos I had at Mosaic Cafe -- fantastic service too. We participated in several ship activities, but these left us wondering where was everyone since the only place were one ever realized there were 700 passengers was early in the evenings in the main dining room. I lucked out during my two visits to the laundry room -- hardly a wait.
In sum, the staff is the reason why many Azamara passengers return time and again. From the consummate professional Captain Idiakidis to the employees who cleaned the pool area each morning, the Journey's staff is positively wonderful. But the Miami staff has to perform as well as the on-board staff, and it definitely did not. Less

DNA is a dynamic molecule with a structure that is stabilized by a large number of weak interactions. The stability of the DNA double helix depends on a variety of factors, including DNA sequence, pH, ionic strength,
solvents and temperature. In particular, as the temperature is increased, the weak interactions are sequentially disrupted, first resulting in localized denaturation of the terminal and selected internal sequences, and finally in complete separation of DNA strands. The degree to which this destabilization is desired or tolerated depends on the application.
For example, cloning procedures such as end-polishing are maximized when the termini are stabilized, suggesting use of a polymerase derived from a mesophilic organism. Second strand cDNA synthesis and nick translation are other applications that traditionally use mesophilic enzymes. Such enzymes are maximally active at temperatures of 25–40°C and retain significant activity at lower temperatures as well. Generally, they can be heat-inactivated and work in the same buffers used by restriction endonucleases and ligases, obviating the need for intermediate DNA purification.
A variety of other molecular biology applications, such as PCR, require high temperatures to denature the DNA prior to primer annealing or during polymerization to reduce secondary structure, thus reducing polymerase pausing. Archaeal DNA polymerases such as VentR® (NEB #M0254)and 9°N™ (NEB #M0260) are derived from hyperthermophiles and are extremely resistant to heat inactivation, even at 100°C, and display maximal polymerase activity at 75–85°C. Bacterial thermophiles have yielded enzymes such as Taq DNA polymerase, which is active at similar temperatures, but is not quite as stable at 95°C as some of its archaeal counterparts.

Click below for a Kokomo sample:
Kokomo was a British group whose popularity primarily resides in the underground soul scene. Their membership came from a variety of backgrounds, which ultimately contributed to the band's breakup as there was no consensus in terms of musical direction.
The large ensemble was comprised of musicians drummer Terry Stannard, saxophonist Mel Collins, Tony O'Malley on piano, Joan Linscott on percussion, guitarists Jim Mullen and Neil Hubbard and Alan Spenner on bass. This instrumental foundation was completed with vocalists Paddie McHugh, Dyan Birch, and Frank Collins. The singers had been in a pop group called Arrival, Spenner and Hubbard were veterans of Joe Cocker's Grease band, and the others came to the group with varying levels of experience.
They formed in 1973 and recorded material that was not released until 2004. Instead they developed a fierceome reputation as a live act, where their authentically funky grooves were an absolute novelty among British bands.
Columbia was sufficiently impressed with Kokomo to offer them a recording contract, teaming them with producer Chris Thomas for their 1975 self-titled debut. Their cover of "I Can Understand It" was the single, and "Forever" and "Sweet Sugar Thing" were among the other strong selections.
The first of many lineup changes happened after the album was in stores, and a revamped Kokomo released Rise And Shine in 1976. It was produced by veteran soul producer Brad Shapiro. Highlights from this disc include "Feelin' Good," "Angel Love," and "Use Your Imagination."
Further defections kept the group out of the studio until 1982, when they cut another self-titled effort. This album was helmed by James Mack and Leo Graham, who were famous for their work with the likes of The Manhattans and Tyrone Davis. The standouts were "Let Me Have It All," "Stuck In The Groove," and "Ain't Never Heard The Boogie."
Any future plans to reform ended with Spenner's death in 1991.

KEIGHLEY Ahmadiyya Muslim Association members got a real buzz from their latest meeting.
Keith Hebden, from Airedale Beekeeping Association, gave a talk about the pursuit.
And his presentation was followed by a question and answer session.
"The aim was to encourage senior members to take up this rewarding pastime," said association spokesman, Mujeeb Rahman.
"The honey bee is mentioned in the Holy Quran and in fact a chapter is named after it.
"Honey bees are on the decline in Europe and America, but numbers are on the increase in other parts of the world.
"Various factors have been assigned to the drop in numbers, one of the main ones being the use of neonicotinoid pesticides and campaigners have sought to ban them.
"The Ahmadiyya Muslim community believes that although the protection of bees is essential, the protection of crops for human consumption must be paramount, while at the same time continuing research into all the causes of decline in honey bee population and doing our best to rectify the problem."

ACCORDING to Britain's wealthiest 100 people are worth £300bn, forty billion quid better off than last year. The top 1,000 are sitting on £519bn, double what it was five years ago. It's the same the world over, it's the poor who gets the blame, and it's the rich that gets the pleasures.Take Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster worth £8.5bn, a £450m rise since last year. All because a knight called Hugh de Gras Veneur came over the William I and pinched a large chunk of Cheshire. Stolen property should be returned, so Gerald Let's have it back. On the issue of property, More than half a million Britain's are facing repossession or eviction. According to a new analysis on households by the courts during the past year.
The scale of the crisis equates to more than 4,000 households being at the risk of losing their homes each week.

Cheap Stocks to Buy Now: Hecla Mining (HL)
Like many gold stocks, the silver-focused miners haven't fared so well either. The next of our cheap stocks, Hecla Mining (HL), could be the best buy here.
Silver, unlike gold, is more of industrial play rather than a store of value. It's found in a wide range of applications, and many of those applications actually destroy the silver when used. Rising economic activity will ultimately boost demand for the metal in the long run.
Meanwhile, HL has diversified its production at perhaps just the right time, giving it an advantage over other cheap stocks in the sector.
Last year, HL purchased smaller gold producer Aurizon Mines. HL stock now receives about 35% of its revenue from gold. The kicker is that HL was able to buy its gold production for peanuts and has since successfully cut costs at Aurizon's former operations. Meanwhile, production at the mine has risen.
For HL stock and its $3.61 share price, the diversity of products could make double as silver and gold rise in the longer term.

China continues to grow at a rate far above the levels seen in the other industrialized countries. And to fuel its expected superlative growth over the next decade, which could be the country's golden years in spite of what some critics are saying, the country will need raw materials, based on my stock analysis.
The country has always been a major importer of raw materials, including metals, oil, and forestry, but my stock analysis suggests China is aggressively pursuing exploration in oil and metals. China has also looked to add resource companies via takeovers around the world in such places as Canada, the United States, and Africa in order to have some control over resource reserves, according to my stock analysis.
A recent example of this was the Canadian government's somewhat surprising approval of the $15.1 billion takeover of Canada-based Nexen Inc. (NYSE/NXY) by China state-owned CNOOC Limited (NYSE/CEO) to go through. The deal was initially thought to be axed by the Canadian regulators and government, citing the security concerns of a takeover of oil reserves by the Chinese government-controlled CNOOC. Canada has rejected takeover bids from Chinese companies in the past, citing the need to safeguard its mineral and energy resources, so this deal was a surprise. Based on my stock analysis, I suspect Canada may have felt pressured to approve the deal, as the country wants to open up more trading with China; a rejection of this deal by the Canadian government would not have looked good in the eyes of the Chinese government.
The reality is that there will be compromises as far as acquisitions of foreign firms by the Chinese, especially if you want to keep trading with China, according to my stock analysis.
While the Nexen deal doesn't mean there will be more deals from China to come, it does show that the country is hungry to gain access to raw material reserves around the world, as China looks to double its gross domestic product (GDP) by 2020. My stock analysis indicates that China will continue to target global reserves, which, in turn, translates into internal exploration and the buying of foreign resource companies. This is where you can make money going forward.
In 2009 and 2010, Chinese energy firms made about $48.0 billion of acquisitions in North America, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The country has investments in the oil-rich Canadian tar sands in Alberta, and my stock analysis suggests that we can expect to see more Chinese capital flowing in.
And according to the IEA, the country has targeted Iraq as its top oil source by 2030. (Source: Xiang, L. and Juan, D., "China to be main buyer of Iraqi oil by 2030, says IEA," China Daily November 13, 2012, last accessed February 5, 2013.)
Whether it's in the Middle East, Africa, or Canada, China wants to—and needs to—pump up its access to oil reserves, regardless of the location.
China's energy radar is global. Making significant investments in Africa, China is steadily increasing its access to African resources with open arms. What allows the Chinese to buy is its massive war chest of over $3.0 trillion in cash reserves, according to my stock analysis.
You can understand why China has clout and the ability to get deals done.
My stock analysis also indicates that the search is not only limited to oil, but it extends to other essential raw materials, such as metals and forestry, as well. China is the world's largest consumer and producer of gold. In 2011, the country produced over 300 tonnes of gold—tops worldwide, according to research by precious metal consultant GFMS. Australia produced 270 tonnes in 2011, as the second-biggest producer. This is a big reason why China has been eyeing Australia for acquisitions, according to my stock analysis.
At the same time, China is trying to reduce its need for foreign sources of metals; the country continues to scour the world, looking at acquisitions. My stock analysis notes that there's a rise in the amount of domestic exploration for energy and metals via Chinese companies.
China has made numerous acquisitions and, based on my stock analysis, I expect this to continue, especially as the country continues to grow and its appetite for raw materials rises.
Deals that I feel will be targeted will be in mid-cap to big-cap mining and energy stocks that have strong reserves and are already in production.

I'm having an issue where Aurora does not seem to be creating the grid properly. First it is not creating the amount of colums I am setting in $total-cols according to the grid that gets displayed when I set $debug: true. No matter what, I see 12 columns. Second, the higher I set the $main-content-cols variable to small the entire page div gets. You can see at http://rfm.iamanoutlier.com that it makes the page div very small. Currently my _variables.scss looks like:
// Layout Setup
$total-cols: 16;
$main-content-cols: 13;
$sidebars: 1, 'left';
// Font Scaling
$font-scale: true;
$obj-scale: true;
// Debug Variables
$debug: true;
Which is generating what you see at the link. You'll also notice that I have $sidebars set to 1, 'left' and yet the sidebar appears below the main content. There appears to be no styling created to position that sidebar. If I set a $width, the grid acts better in that it become the width it should, but the sidebar still does not position itself.
I am running the latest version of compass, aura, and SASS (3.2 pre), and followed the instructions in the manual PDF that comes with the theme. One thing to note is that I am running a multi-side setup, and aurora and HTML5 themes are sitting in sites/all/themes, where as the subtheme for this site is sitting in sites/rfm.iamanoutlier.com/themes.
Any ideas as to what could be wrong?

Notts Outlaws welcome Surrey to Trent Bridge for the Outlaws' 8th CB40 group match. The sides occupy 2nd and 3rd place in the table respectively with both sides locked on 10 points each.
The sides last met at Guildford three weeks ago in what proved to be a comprehensive victory for Chris Read's side.
Having lost the toss and been asked to field the Outlaws ran through the Surrey top in a devastating 4 over spell that left Surrey 8-5.
Matthew Spriegel (39) and captain Gareth Batty (24) showed signs of a recovery but Harry Gurney collected 4 wickets as Surrey were bundled out for 123 inside 34 overs.
It was then left to James Taylor (41 not out) to see the Outlaws home with over 9 overs remaining.
You have to go back to the 9th September 2001 for the last time these two sides met in a limited overs match.
Notts had John Morris (102) and Kevin Pietersen (61 not out) to thank as they amassed 277-7 from their 45 overs having been put into bat by Adam Hollioake.
However, a blistering 130 from 97 balls by former Notts and Surrey opener Ali Brown eased Surrey home by 5 wickets.
Brown's record as one of the best limited overs players in domestic cricket is unquestioned.
One of his greatest achievements came in the C&G Trophy when he hit 268 off 130 balls (30x4, 12x6) as Surrey scored 438-5 inside 50 overs.
That score remains the highest ever made by individual in limited overs cricket anywhere in the world.
Domestically, he holds the record for the highest individual score in 40 over cricket following his innings of 203 for Surrey against Hampshire at Guildford in 1997.
"Alex Hales and Adam Voges need just 2 and 6 runs respectively to pass the 200 run mark for the competition."
The Outlaws will be without James Taylor because of international commitments on Wednesday evening.
Taylor, who signed for the county from Leicestershire in the close season, has impressed with the bat in the CB40 competition, scoring 345 runs at an average of 69.
Taylor's absence may allow Samit Patel to make up some ground on his England colleague.
The all-rounder currently has 265 CB40 runs at an average of 37.85 from 7 matches and sits second behind Taylor in the Outlaws run scoring charts.
Alex Hales and Adam Voges need just 2 and 6 runs respectively to pass the 200 run mark for the competition.
In the bowling department, both Darren Pattinson and Samit Patel continue to lead the way for the Outlaws with 11 wickets each.
Despite Surrey's depleted batting line-up, the Outlaws will still have to contend with explosive England wicketkeeper batsman Steve Davies, who is Chris Adams' leading run scorer in the competition with 192 runs from 7 matches at an average of 32.
One of Surrey's strongest weapons in one day cricket is their bowling attack.
On Wednesday evening, the Outlaws are likely to come up against current England pace bowlers Stuart Meaker and Jade Dernbach, along with former England swing bowler Jon Lewis.
However, Chris Read's side will also have to wary of leading wicket taker and stand in captain Gareth Batty who has taken 9 wickets at an average just a shade over 16.

Bertha "Bert" Bowker, 71, of Orrick, lost her battle with cancer on Wednesday, April 16, 2008, in Richmond.
Bert was born in Orrick on May 19, 1936, the daughter of Joseph and Lavena Windsor. She was a lifelong Orrick area resident. Along with being a loving mother to her three children, Bert worked as a beautician and then as a teacher's aide for the Orrick School District. Bert was an avid reader and could usually be found with a book or crossword puzzle in hand.
In 1999, Bert met her soul mate, Melvin Bowker, and they were married in July of 2003. Although their time together was short, it was the happiest time of her life.
Along with her loving husband Mel, survivors include: two daughters, Jodie King of Liberty and Jana Bunch of Orrick; one son, Jason Offutt of Maryville; two-step daughters, Venette Brock of Lawson and Lynn Hylton of Liberty; eight grandchildren, one great-granddaughter, and six step-grandchildren.
Her parents preceded her in death.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to Liberty Hospice and the American Cancer Society.
A memorial service to celebrate Bert's life will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday, April19, 2008, at the Orrick United Methodist Church in Orrick.
Arrangements are under the direction of Polley Funeral Home in Excelsior Springs.

text: DUBLIN, Ireland, Aug. 21, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Warner Chilcott plc (Nasdaq:WCRX) today announced that it has completed an amendment to its existing senior secured credit facilities, pursuant to which it has incurred an additional $600 million aggregate principal amount of new term loans. The new term loan facilities are comprised of a $300 million Term Loan B-4/5 bearing interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% with a five-year maturity, and a $300 million Additional Term Loan B-1 bearing interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% and maturing on March 15, 2018. As previously announced, the Company intends to use the proceeds from the new term loans and cash on hand to fund a special cash dividend to its shareholders of $4.00 per share, or approximately $1.0 billion in the aggregate, and to pay related fees and expenses. As a result of closing the amendment and the related borrowings, Warner Chilcott's board of directors has today declared a special cash dividend of $4.00 per share. The special cash dividend will be paid on September 10, 2012 to shareholders of record of the Company on August 31, 2012. For general information regarding the tax treatment of the special cash dividend, including potential Irish dividend withholding tax, please refer to the sections entitled "Material Tax Considerations" in the Company's Prospectus Supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 23, 2009 and the Company's Proxy Statement for its 2009 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, as well as the Frequently Asked Questions section of the Company's website at http://ir.wcrx.com/faq.cfm .

The Company intends to update its Investor Relations page website at http://ir.wcrx.com/ on or after August 28, 2012 to inform investors of NASDAQ's final determination as to whether or not the 25% threshold has been exceeded and the date on which the Company's shares will begin to trade ex-dividend.

The Competition is sponsored by Shopify Inc. ("Sponsor"), 150 Elgin Street, Suite 800, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K2P 1L4.
Agreement to Official Rules
By participating in this Competition, entrants agree to these Official Rules, which are a contract, so read them carefully before entering. To the extent permitted by law, this contract includes a limitation of your rights and remedies. You also agree that your participation in this Competition is subject to compliance with the Dribbble Terms of Service located at https://dribbble.com/terms ("Dribbble TOS"). Sponsor reserves the right to make reasonable amendments to these Official Rules at any time, to qualify and verify all submissions, and to reject any submissions that do not meet the requirements for participation as established by Sponsor. All decisions made by Sponsor concerning this Competition shall be final and binding on all entrants, in all respects. Each winner will be required to participate in the prize fulfillment process and sign documentation, such as a release, within the time frame specified by Sponsor, as more fully detailed below.
The Competition begins on October 15, 2015, at 12:01:00 A.M. North American Eastern Time (ET) and ends on October 30, 2015, at 11:59:59 P.M. ET (the "Competition Period"). Eligible individuals may enter the Competition by creating and submitting via Dribbble an original artistic work responding to the prompt "Design taught me…", as more fully described below. Following the close of the Competition Period, one (1) grand-prize winner, two (2) runners-up, and ten (10) honourable mention winners will be selected through a judging process, as more fully detailed below.
How to Enter
During or shortly before the start of the Competition Period, Sponsor will post a "shot" from its Dribbble account, https://dribbble.com/shopify ("Starting Shot"). The Starting Shot will ask potential entrants to submit a "rebound" post to the Starting Shot responding to the theme "Design Taught Me…" A potential entrant should first create an original artistic work responding to the "Design Taught Me…" theme ("Entrant Artwork"). Then, during the Competition Period, the potential entrant may enter the Competition by posting his or her Entrant Artwork from his/her Dribbble account as a "rebound" to the Starting Shot ("Entry Post"). Your Entrant Artwork may respond to the "Design Taught Me…" prompt in any way that you see fit, provided that it must fully comply with the terms of these Official Rules (including the "Submission Requirements" section below) and any restrictions imposed by the Dribbble platform (including any file size, file type, or other technical restrictions imposed on uploads). YOUR ENTRY POST MUST BE SUBMITTED AS A REBOUND TO SPONSOR'S STARTING SHOT OR IT WILL NOT BE ENTERED INTO THIS COMPETITION.
Only Dribbble accounts associated with an individual may be used for entry in this Competition; entries received from a Dribbble account associated with any organization, company, corporation, partnership or other entity will be void. Your Entry Post will appear on your Dribbble account profile and may be visible to other users or the public. Entry Posts must be received and identifiable by Sponsor during the Competition Period or they will be void. Entries are "received" when the Dribbble platform's database records the completed Entry Post and the Entry Post is viewable by Sponsor as a "rebound." Other proof of submitting a purported entry (such as a printed or copied screenshot of your purported Entry Post) does not constitute actual receipt of the Entry Post for purposes of this Competition. Your Entry Post must remain active on your Dribbble account and viewable by Sponsor through winner selection and prize award for this Competition. Entry Posts that are not both actually visible and received by Sponsor during the Competition Period will not be entered into Competition. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entry associated with an Entry Post that contains (i) content in addition to the required content, (ii) content that Sponsor deems obscene, offensive, harmful, or inappropriate, (iii) any language communicating messages inconsistent with the positive images with which Sponsor wishes to associate itself, or (iv) any content that otherwise violates the Official Rules (all as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion). Attempts at entry identified or received outside the Competition Period will be void.
There is no limit to the number of Entry Posts you may submit in this Competition, provided that each Entry Post must contain a different, original piece of Entrant Artwork. Normal Internet access and usage charges imposed by your Internet Service Provider may apply. Entries must be submitted and received by Sponsor during the Competition Period through Dribbble and in strict accordance with the instructions and restrictions in these Official Rules. Those who do not follow all of the instructions, provide the required information in their entry, or abide by these Official Rules will be disqualified and any associated entry void. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual entrant from participating in this Competition for conduct that violates these rules or that, in Sponsor's reasonable judgment, compromises the fairness of this Competition. Purported entries that are incomplete, lost, late, misdirected, mutilated, illegitimate, incomprehensible, garbled, or generated by a macro, bot, or other automated means will not be accepted and will be void. Entries made on your behalf by another, made by you on behalf of any other individual, or made by any entity, and/or originating at or using any web site or online service not operated by Dribbble as part of the Dribbble platform, including, without limitation, commercial promotion subscription notification and/or entering service sites, will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Competition. As a condition of entering the Competition, without limiting any other provision in these Official Rules, each entrant gives consent for Sponsor and its agents to obtain and deliver his or her name, address, and other information and content to third parties for the purpose of administering this Competition and complying with applicable laws, regulations, and rules.
Submission Requirements
Your Entry Post must meet all of the following requirements, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, or the associated entry may be disqualified:
- Your Entrant Artwork must have been created by you expressly for use in this Competition. You may not reuse any design or artwork you previously created.
- All aspects of the Entry Post must be originally created by and solely owned by you or be in the public domain. All third-party content and content not original to you (unless it is in the public domain) is prohibited.
- Entry Post must NOT depict, identify, or include any person other than the entrant, unless the person depicted is the age of majority in his or her jurisdiction of residence and entrant has such person's explicit written consent to include him/her in the Entry Post, adequate proof of which (as determined by Sponsor) will be provided by entrant to Sponsor upon request as a condition of winning any prize in this Competition.
- Entry Post must not create or imply any association between Sponsor and any individual or entity or his, her, or its products or services.
- Entry Post must not contain any commercial or corporate advertising (including, without limitation, corporate logos, brand names, and slogans) or reference to recognizable branded products.
- Entry Post must not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any rights of any third party including, without limitation, copyright (including moral rights), trademark, trade secret, or rights of privacy or publicity.
- Entry Post must not include information or content that is false, fraudulent, deceptive, misleading, defamatory, libelous (including trade libel), threatening, disparaging, unlawfully harassing, profane, obscene, pornographic, hateful, indecent, inappropriate or injurious to any individual, any Released Party (defined below), or any third party.
- Entry Post must not contain or describe any harmful or illegal activity or content or in any way violate any federal, national, state, provincial, territorial, or local law, rule, or regulation.
- Entry Post must be suitable for presentation in a public forum.
- Entrant agrees that his/her participation in the Competition and agreement to these Official Rules and any Released Party's (defined below) display and use of his/her Entry Post in accordance with the rights granted hereunder will not violate any agreement to which entrant is a signatory or party.
- Entrant agrees to indemnify (i.e., defend and/or reimburse) the Released Parties against any and all claims from any third party for any use or reuse by any Released Party of the Entry Post in accordance with the rights granted in these Official Rules.
Selection of Winners
Eligible Entry Posts will be judged by a panel of judges chosen in Sponsor's sole discretion ("the Judges"), based on the following criteria according to the percentage weights indicated: extent to which entry responds to the "Design taught me…" prompt (20%); creativity and originality of composition (40%); execution of design and demonstration of technical skill (30%); and results of the popular vote (10%) ("Criteria").
The Entry Post with the highest score will be selected as the potential grand-prize winner, the two (2) Entry Posts with the next highest scores will be selected as the potential runners-up, and the ten (10) Entry Posts with the next highest scores will be selected as the honourable-mention winners. In the event of a tie in the selection of a winner, the tie will be broken by naming as the winner the entry with the higher score on the creativity-and-originality Criterion. If there is still a tie, the tie will be broken by naming as the winner the entry with the higher score on the responsiveness-to-prompt Criterion.
The public vote score will be determined as follows: throughout the Competition Period, visitors to the Dribbble service who have a Dribbble user account will be able to "like" Entry Posts by clicking the heart icon next to the Entry Artwork. Each "like" that an Entry Post receives will be counted as a vote for that Entry Post. Entrants are prohibited from obtaining votes by any fraudulent or inappropriate means, as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, by offering prizes or other incentives or inducements in exchange for votes. Use of these techniques, or of any script, macro, or other automated or artificial system to vote, or acting in any manner with the intent or effect of impairing the integrity of the voting process, is prohibited and all such votes will, upon discovery by the Sponsor, be deemed null and void and may lead to the disqualification of the applicable entrant. The Entry Post that receives the most votes in the public vote will receive ten points (i.e., all 10%) from the Judges when evaluating and scoring Entry Posts, the Entry Post that receives the second-most votes will receive nine points (i.e., 9%) and so on all the way down to the Entry Post with the tenth highest amount of votes, which will receive one point (i.e., 1%). Notwithstanding the above, any Entry Post receiving zero votes will get zero points for the public vote score. For clarification, in the event that fewer than ten Entry Posts receive any votes, only the Entry Posts receiving votes will receive points in the public vote score. In the event of a tie, both Entry Posts will get the most points possible for the applicable ranking. For example, if two Entry Posts received 100 votes and that was the highest amount achieved among all Entry Posts, the tied Entry Posts would each get ten points (i.e., all 10%).
Sponsor reserves the right to contact entrants for verification purposes and administration of the Competition. All Judges' decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to this Competition. Each entrant acknowledges that other entrants may have created ideas and concepts contained in their Entrant Artwork that may have familiarities or similarities to his/her Entrant Artwork, and that he/she will not be entitled to any compensation or right to negotiate with the Released Parties (defined below) because of these familiarities or similarities.
Notification of Potential Prize Winners
Within approximately fifteen (15) business days of the conclusion of the Competition Period, Sponsor will post a comment announcing the potential winners on the Dribbble page for the Starting Shot, as well as on each potentially winning Entry Post on Dribbble. Each comment will instruct the potential winner to email Sponsor at an email address included in the comment. Sponsor may instead choose or may also choose to send the potential winner the same information through a direct message on Dribbble. Such potential winner must then respond to Sponsor's comment or direct message as instructed within five (5) business days after the comment was made or message was sent. Once an email from the potential winner is received by Sponsor, Sponsor will reply to such email with a unique code. Then, to verify the email account holder is also the Dribbble account holder who posted the potentially winning Entry Post, such potential winner must comment on the same Entry Post (initially commented on by Sponsor or described in Sponsor's direct message) with the unique code provided by Sponsor. Such comment must be posted within two (2) business days after the unique code is emailed to such potential winner. Once such potential winner correctly posts the unique code in accordance with the process set forth above, Sponsor will contact such potential winner by email asking such potential winner to respond with his/her full name, mailing address and other information. Such potential winner will be required to respond within five (5) business days. Entrants are encouraged to monitor their Dribbble accounts for correspondence from Sponsor. Failure to timely complete any of the steps above for any reason may result in disqualification and an alternate winner may be selected in accordance with the winner selection method set forth above.
The prizes, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. Sponsor will not be obligated to pursue more than three (3) alternate winners (time permitting) for each prize for any reason, in which case the applicable prize may go unawarded. In the event of a dispute about the identity of an entrant, Sponsor will settle the dispute in its sole discretion and Sponsor's decision will be final and may involve disqualifying all disputed entries. Prize elements will only be mailed to winner's address in the Territory. If any prize, prize notification, or Competition-related communication is rejected, faulty, or returned as undeliverable or if the potential winner does not respond according to the notification's or Sponsor's instructions or otherwise fails to comply with these Official Rules, the prize may, in Sponsor's sole discretion, be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected (time permitting and in accordance with the judging procedure set forth above). Upon prize forfeiture, no compensation will be given and Sponsor will have no responsibility or liability to that entrant. To claim a prize, each potential winner must follow the directions in his or her notification. Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification procedures in connection with the selection of any alternate potential winner, if any.

General Prize Requirements
The following applies to all prizes in this Competition
Prize details not specifically stated in these Official Rules (including the type, size, and color of all Shopify swag) will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Gift cards and admission passes are subject to the terms and conditions imposed by their respective issuers. All taxes and duties, if any, on a prize are the sole responsibility of the applicable prize winner.

If any potential winner fails to sign and timely return the foregoing documents, and any others that may reasonably be required, to Sponsor, that potential winner may be disqualified, and the relevant prize may thereafter be awarded to an alternate prize winner from the remaining valid entries using the same criteria specified above. Sponsor is not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated, or stolen prize, or any prize that is undeliverable or does not reach a winner because of incorrect or changed contact information. No more than the stated prizes will be awarded.
Release and Publicity
Each entrant hereby consents to the use of his or her name, address and Entry Post by Sponsor and its licensees and assigns for advertising and promotional purposes, without any additional compensation or right of review, except where prohibited. NOTHING IN THESE OFFICIAL RULES LIMITS, EXCLUDES OR MODIFIES OR PURPORTS TO LIMIT, EXCLUDE OR MODIFY ANY STATUTORY CONSUMER GUARANTEES OR ANY IMPLIED CONDITION OR WARRANTY THE EXCLUSION OF WHICH FROM THESE OFFICIAL RULES WOULD CONTRAVENE ANY STATUTE OR CAUSE ANY PART OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES TO BE VOID ("Non-Excludable Guarantees"). SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, ALL ENTRANTS AGREE, EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY (i.e., DEFEND FROM AND REIMBURSE FOR) AND HOLD HARMLESS THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF PARTICIPATION IN THE COMPETITION. ENTRANTS AGREE THAT, EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW (INCLUDING IN RELATION TO THE NON-EXCLUDABLE GUARANTEES), RELEASED PARTIES ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INJURIES, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM PARTICIPATION IN THIS COMPETITION AND ACCEPTANCE, POSSESSION, MISUSE OR USE OF ANY PRIZE. RELEASED PARTIES ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TYPOGRAPHICAL OR OTHER ERROR IN THE PRINTING OF THE OFFER OR THESE RULES, THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE COMPETITION, OR IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT AND AWARD OF ANY PRIZE.
Subject to the Non-Excludable Guarantees, all participants agree that Released Parties are not responsible and/or liable for any of the following, whether caused by a Released Party, the entrant or by human error: entries or votes that are submitted by illegitimate means (such as, without limitation, by an automated computer program); any lost, late, incomplete, illegible, unintelligible, mutilated, or misdirected entries, email, mail, or Competition-related correspondence or materials or postage-due mail; any error, omission, interruption, defect, or delay in transmission or communication; viruses or technical or mechanical malfunctions; interrupted or unavailable cable or satellite systems; errors, typos or misprints in these Official Rules, in any Competition-related advertisements or other materials; failures of electronic equipment, computer hardware or software; lost or unavailable network connections, or failed, incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate, garbled or delayed electronic communications or entry information. Released Parties are not responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, or insufficient space in entrant's email account to receive email messages. Released Parties are not responsible, and may disqualify an entrant, if his or her email address, telephone, or other contact information does not work or is changed without entrant giving prior written notice to Sponsor. Released Parties are not responsible for any changes or unavailability of the Dribbble platform that may interfere with the Competition (including any limitations, any restrictions, or any conditions on Sponsor's ability to use that service for the Competition as set forth herein that are not acceptable to Sponsor) or ability of entrant to timely enter, receive notices or communicate with Sponsor, in which case Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may terminate or modify the Competition. Without limiting any other provision in these Official Rules, Released Parties are not responsible or liable to any entrant or winner or any person claiming through such entrant or winner for failure to supply the prize or any part thereof in the event that any of the Competition activities or the Released Parties' operations or activities are affected, as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, by reason of any acts of God, any action, regulation, order, or request by any governmental or quasi-governmental entity (whether or not the action, regulation, order or request proves to be invalid), equipment failure, blackout, threatened or actual terrorist acts, air raid, act of public enemy, war (declared or undeclared), earthquake, fire, explosion, epidemic, flood, unusually severe weather, hurricane, embargo, labour dispute or strike (whether legal or illegal), labour or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, work slow-down, civil disturbance, insurrection, riot, or any law, rule, regulation, order or other action adopted or taken by any governmental, federal, state, provincial, territorial, or local government authority, or any other cause beyond Sponsor's reasonable control, whether or not specifically mentioned above.
Entrants agree to not damage or cause interruption of the Competition and/or prevent others from participating in the Competition. Sponsor reserves the right to restrict or void entries or participation from any Dribbble account or IP address if any suspicious entry and/or participation is detected. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void entries or votes (as applicable) of any entrants or participants who Sponsor believes have attempted to tamper with or impair the administration, security, fairness or proper play of this Competition. Sponsor's failure to or decision not to enforce any provision in these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision. In the event there is an alleged or actual ambiguity, discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Competition-related materials and/or these Official Rules (including any alleged discrepancy or inconsistency within these Official Rules), it will be resolved in Sponsor's sole discretion. Entrants waive any right to claim ambiguity in the Competition or these Official Rules.

If the Competition is not capable of running as planned for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, modify or suspend the Competition and award the prize from eligible entries received prior to cancellation, modification, or suspension or as otherwise deemed fair and appropriate by Sponsor. If any person supplies false information, obtains entries by fraudulent means or is otherwise determined to be in violation of these Official Rules in an attempt to obtain any prize, Sponsor may disqualify that person and seek damages from him or her and that person may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Though I don't have a big collection of these advertising mirrors (and the ones shown are not actually in my collection), I just like them because they're fun, and they give you a sense of what marketing pitches small businesspeople thought would work back then (and they were probably right). Simple, highlighting simple benefits, funny, amateurish (by today's super bowl ad standards. It also takes you back to a time when most businesses were local – no global supply chains and corporate headquarters! The Boston Herald one I especially like. You don't see much old newspaper advertising in general, and when you do, its usually for the Boston Globe, not the Herald!

Moto Maker comes to all major U.S. carriers
0. phoneArena posted on 11 Nov 2013, 11:09
Since the Motorola Moto X was first announced, we've been hearing that the Moto Maker software would be kept as an AT&T exclusive until sometime in November. Recently, the rumors have focused in on today, November 11th, as the day that exclusivity would end and the rumors have proven to be correct this time around...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

missing those days that i was using Motorola.
2. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
This is a seriously good idea! I really like all kind of personalization so then I can have items no one else can have! Would be nice if every company had this!
3. xoxoGeorges (Posts: 209; Member since: 11 Jul 2013)
I honestly think that exclusivity was holding the phone down too much. Sad considering the idea is brilliant.
Too late though.
4. poddercast (Posts: 2; Member since: 05 Nov 2013)
I'm sure many people didn't buy this phone earlier since it the Moto Maker feature was exclusive to ATT. Lets see if the Moto X becomes more popular now that it is available to customize everywhere.

Throw in the wooden back plates and free earbuds and i'd call it a deal.
6. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
you get a Free Moto Skip and $10 worth of Google Play Credit when you get it.
that almost pays for the headphones. not to mention the free Dropbox storage. o:
9. GeekMovement (unregistered)
meh I'd still prefer the $40 matching earbuds. free dropbox storage also comes with some samsung devices which I personally don't use much.

Automatic Ice Cream Makers – Make Your Own Desserts
Posted by admin on February 16th, 2015
Making your own ice cream at home is both fun and rewarding! Ice cream makers have made it easy to produce a delicious frozen dessert in little time with minimal work. The old fashioned machines required plenty of ice and rock salt to get the temperature low enough for the cream and other ingredients to freeze. A hand crank was used to keep mixing the ingredients to keep it from becoming a big solid ice cube. Today you can use an appliance that has a motor to mix the ice cream and even a refrigerated bowl to freeze the ingredients. The ice cream makers with the freezer built in are more expensive than those that have a removable, freezable bowl that contains a liquid that freezes and melts slowly. However, you do need to remember to put the bowl in the freezer about 24 hrs ahead of time, or simply store the bowl in the freezer so that it is always ready.
What kind of ice cream can you make? There are many recipes available, and your machine should come with at least a basic recipe book. Some recipes require you to first cook the ingredients, but there are others that require no cooking either. Not only can you make ice cream but you can produce frozen yogurt, and sorbets too.
Because you get to decide what ingredients to use you don't have to worry about all the preservatives that are in most store bought ice creams. Try reading the ingredients and that delicious treat is not so appetizing. What the heck are soy lecithin, propylene glycol mono-esters or polysorbate 80 anyway? These preservative and emulsifiers in commercial ice cream allow it to be scooped easily when stored in a freezer. After storing, your home made ice cream may come out of the freezer a little harder, but it only requires a few minutes at room temperature until it is soft enough to scoop easily. If you eat the ice cream fresh right after making, you won't have this problem.
Ice cream machines come in different sizes that make from one to several quarts of ice cream. You can find many ice cream maker reviews all over the internet, and you should not buy a new one before going through at least a dozen reviews to find the best one for you family The 1.5 quart sizes are good for most people unless you want to serve a large crowd. 1.5 quarts is the typical size of container that you would find at a supermarket in the U.S. These machines are quite affordable, starting at around $50 for a basic model up to several hundred for the ones with the built in refrigeration unit. This makes giving an ice cream maker a good gift idea whether for a wedding, anniversary, birthday or Christmas.
Cuisinart ICE-30BC Ice Cream Maker Review
Posted by admin on February 1st, 2015
Encased in stainless-steel, the Cuisinart ICE-30BC lets individuals create their own delicious frozen treats in less than half an hour. With a powerful motor and a double-insulated freezer bowl, there is no need for salt and ice the way there is for some other ice cream makers. This machine can create 2 quarts of your favorite frozen treat at a time, so there's plenty to share! It's as easy as A, B, C. Pop your ingredients in the machine, turn it on, and wait a little while to get delicious homemade ice cream, frozen yogurt, or sorbet. The large ingredient spout makes adding delicious ingredients easy, and the machine looks great in any modern kitchen.
Another user said he purchased the machine and after seeing it in use, several of his friends and family members are considering purchasing the machine. Users say the cleanup is a breeze, so those who are expecting a long cleanup process don't have to be afraid at all. Right out of the machine, the ice cream is smooth, creamy and delicious. Users say after freezing the ice cream overnight, it's hard and takes about 10 minutes to thaw to the right consistency, but this could also be due to the individual freezer settings on freezers.
Based on the reviews at www.sweeticecreamlove.com of the Cuisinart ICE-30BC Ice Cream Maker, we feel no hesitation at all in recommending this to those who want to create their own delicious frozen treats at home. It seems like a great investment for those who really love ice cream, and a machine that will last for many years. Those who purchased it said they'd purchase it all over again and would recommend it to friends and family members. It's unlikely that those who purchase it will be disappointed in the ease of use, the quality of the ice cream, the noise level, or the durability. We whole heartedly recommend this machine and feel as though it's a great addition to any kitchen.
Lello 4090 Gelato Pro Quart Ice Cream Maker Review
Posted by admin on January 30th, 2015
They say that price makes the product, and in this case they might just be right. There are many ice cream makers on the market, though it is undeniable that Cuisinart holds the monopoly in this area. For those who want to try something a little different however, why not take a look at this ice cream maker? This a very different type of ice cream maker, though the biggest difference is the fact that you can create your ice cream without the use of a freezer.
Customers have also found that this product operates much faster than some of the leading competitors, which provides more food in a shorter amount of time. In the food industry timing is everything and this product seems to have it all together in that aspect.
Now there are a few that claim to have had warranty issues with the Lello, particularly trouble in having the unit fixed when damaged. It is difficult to say whether or not you will have this issue, but just in case, it would be wise to shop for the lowest price! Once you find that price whether online or offline, you should have access to a plethora of support resources that will not only keep you in the know, but also help to keep your ice cream cold!
That being said, it' might be time for you to make your purchase. Due to the customer complaints, few as they be, it might be a good idea to shop for the same item at a lower price. As always though, the final decision is yours, and you may very well find that you've made the right choice in ice cream makers.

THE owners of a Burnley pub, which was once featured in a football hooligan documentary, have shown the red card to its notorious reputation.
The Forester's Arms, in Todmorden Road, Burnley, has undergone a £40,000 revamp in a bid to attract new customers.
It became notorious for all the wrong reasons in 2006 when previous owners allowed it to be featured on Danny Dyer's Real Football Factories.
In one episode, Danny was seen taking part in a meeting between members of the infamous Burnley Suicide Squad.
The pub is also mentioned in gang leader, Andrew Porter's famous Suicide Squad book.
Landlady Maureen Cardwell, 65, who runs the pub with husband Ian, 58, said the pub was now trouble-free with a more family-friendly atmosphere.
She said: "It has taken me a long time to get through to the away supporters and the troublemakers that there's no violence in here any more.
"People will say 'don't go in that pub, it's rough'. It has cost us hundreds in advertising, and we have worked hard to build up a good reputation.
"It's funny how the reputation sticks. It was terrible.
"We would often get raided during all hours. The troublemakers weren't even coming in any more and we were still getting the brunt of it."
The overhaul has included new signage, and re-painting and decorating throughout the Admiral Taverns-owned pub.
Away fans are not allowed in the pub on match days, and the new owners said they will work with police on match-days as Burnley FC fans enjoy their pre and post-match drinks in the modern surroundings.

Strata tower wins 2010 Carbuncle Cup
A worthy winner for sure!
A shame the little 'pavilion' next door didn't get a mention. Same plan and cladding but just 3 storeys high. Unfortunate that you can see it from EVERYWHERE in London! Totally grim.
Fingers crossed that the rest of the E+C regeneration isn't as horrific as this.

I live in North St. Louis County. I was born and raised there. I grew up and went to high school there. It is home, it will always be my home. I also live 10 minutes away from Ferguson. I thought I was pretty well versed on what was going on. Not from watching, listening, or reading local media, but because I know the sometime unpleasant culture, for lack of a better term, of the people who live here. I was wrong.
On Saturday, I took my first trip to Ferguson since the shooting of Michael Brown. I was a little apprehensive. Was I going to be accosted by a band of unruly protesters? Did I have to worry about rocks or anything else being thrown at my car? Being a tad outspoken, would I get into a shouting match with someone who saw things differently than I did?
The answer to all of those questions was a big fat NO. The group Ferguson Response had set up a prayer tent three weeks prior. I never knew it. Again, thank you St. Louis media. As I pulled up, I saw people from several churches and organizations setting up tables for free BBQ, others getting ready for face painting for kids, even a spot where someone would pray with you one on one. They had even thought of me, the token Pagan, with a table for dream interpretation.
People began to find a seat and get ready for the speakers to begin, including local Pastors, plus the Tea Party News Network's Niger Innis, our very own Wayne Dupree, and Dr. Alveda King, niece of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. As the tent began to fill up, black people and white people sat together. They nodded their heads in unison when Pastors, men and women of God, talked about coming together as one community, healing each other, lifting each other up, and working together to help rebuild their community. They talked, laughed, watched each other's children.
As I looked around at the people sitting in that tent, I realized that there are more of them than there are thugs and troublemakers that promise "all hell will break loose" if the verdict in the case they desire does not come about. I realized how angry I had been about this entire situation. I realized too that the liberal local media, who give the undesirables the coverage they need to spin their incorrect portrait of Ferguson are no doubt in cahoots with one another in some manner, and they know they are outnumbered. They have to ignore positive uplifting events like the one on Saturday to further their agenda of racism, hatred and division. Under no circumstances do they want the good guys to win.
I even met Michael Brown's Uncle, Pastor Charles. What a sweet man. I never once saw him not smiling. He told a small group of us that, while he wanted healing for his family, violence was not the way to do it. He talked about how God would see to it that things would be made right in Ferguson. I believe it because he believes it.
I told several of my colleagues that you would not see any coverage of this by the local media. I was right. They left that up to us. Rest assured, we will do the job that other media will not.
Good guys always win.
