MountainCenter is a Cydia Tweak which will allow you to change the position of your Notification Center. Instead of having NC pop down from the top, you can have it slide in from the right side or the left side. Settings will allow you to set a number of finger gestures to open up NC so you don't accidentally open it when you don't want to. You can set up to a 5 finger swipe or as little as a single finger swipe to open the Notification Center. MountainCenter can be found for $2.99 under the Big Boss Repo.

Long before farmers' markets and boutique foods were the flavours of the month, Rhonda Arnall and ''The Pink Lady'' pioneered a mobile gourmet ice-cream experience that is now satisfying a new generation of Canberrans.
The well-travelled Florey resident and her rare 1970s-vintage Ford Transit ice-cream van have been a fixture at Canberra markets, car meets, musical festivals and even the CSIRO Christmas bash since 1996.
Their partnership began when a Tuggeranong couple advertised their ice-cream maker for sale.
''Because it was on the other side of town and I thought it might go quickly, I asked my sister to go out and look,'' Ms Arnall said.
''When she got there she rang me and said 'they're throwing an old truck in as well.'''
The ''old truck'', was The Pink Lady, almost six metres of former Tip Top bread van that had been converted into a mobile ice-cream dispensary complete with windows, counters and refrigerators.
Ironically, while the ice-cream machine has yet to be put to use, the van has been the backbone of the business since day one.
Ms Arnall, now in her mid-50s, has collected a variety of experiences in her life. They include running her own restaurant in Aranda and then Cook for nine years and catering on a kibbutz in Israel.
She trained as a chef at the old Royal Canberra Hospital (but ''now they've blown it up'') and was the first woman chef apprentice of the year in the ACT. After that, the world was her oyster and she had stints working in New Zealand, England and Israel and at what is now old Parliament House.
Life on the kibbutz was interesting because it taught her a lot about how people reacted in a communal environment. ''The theory is one thing; the practice is another.''
When she returned to Australia in the 1980s Ms Arnall opened the Chameleon Restaurant and became interested in making ice-cream for the first time.
This interest grew to the point where it consumed the restaurant.
The Chameleon Ice Creamery, which supports The Pink Lady and an equally venerable yellow Bedford, is the result.
A born experimenter who loves to juxtapose unusual ingredients and flavours to see the results, Ms Arnall says she is sometimes surprised by people who ask if she makes her ice-cream. ''My response is to say 'would Mr Streets make a potato and mint sorbet?'''
Her experimental approach, which is finally starting to spark the interest of foodies and the like, is based on using natural ingredients to flavour the product.
Her banana ice-cream is made with bananas. Potatoes for the potato and mint sorbet come from Crookwell (''I like to use pontiacs'') and most of her berries are grown within 20 metres of where the ice-cream is made.
The Pink Lady, which bears the patina that comes with a life well lived, has proved an excellent investment and is regularly mobbed by the children of the children who were among its first customers nearly 20 years ago. Neither she, nor her owner, have any intention of standing down just yet.

Dear Wendy: "Am I An Attention Whore?"
My boyfriend and I have been seeing each other for three months, and currently live together. I'm just gonna cut to the chase here: he's not good about replying to my texts. Usually, with my past significant others, I would always have cute little mushy text convos all day. However, when I text my current boyfriend a cute little, "I'm thinking about you" text or even a "What are you doing?" text, he rarely replies. Sometimes he will say he's busy. Excuse me? Who is ever too busy to send a little measly text back to someone you love? And not only that, but he's just not good with communication AT ALL. I've been stood up by him for lunch dates with no notice. He often has legitimate reasons, but he doesn't even text or call me. He also doesn't tell me what he does throughout his day. For example, if he gets off work early, or goes shopping, or has lunch with his buddies, he won't even let me know what's going on; I'm always blindsided. I've talked to him about this issue several times and he admits he's not a good texter, but I know that's a lie because I've seen him text other people back right away. Am I missing something here? Is there any way I can tell him how I feel without sounding like I'm an attention whore who needs my boyfriend to text me 24/7? I mean, maybe just four texts a day would be perfect. Am I overreacting here? — The Texter
Wait a minute; you're blindsided by your boyfriend going to lunch with his buddies? Seriously? I mean, maybe that's the problem here. If you're trying to keep such a tight leash on the guy that when he goes out with his buddies on his lunch brea, you actually feel blindsided, maybe the reason he's avoiding your text messages is because he's had enough with your omnipresence in his life. Maybe he's avoiding your texts because he has the freedom to and he's desperately holding on to every freedom he has for as long as he can. And I can't help but wonder if any of this has something to do with the fact that you already live together after dating only three months. Maybe this is an issue of too much too soon and your constant stream of text messages throughout the day only serves to remind him of this.
The bottom line, though, is that you're being needy and clingy — or, as you say, an "attention whore"— the very traits that scare men away faster than an evening of Bravo programming. Take it a down a notch. Cultivate a little mystery. "But I was this way with all my ex-boyfriends!" I can almost hear you argue. "I had mushy text covos with them all day!" Well … how did those relationships work out for you? All I'm saying is, reign in the texting. Take the hint that your boyfriend isn't into it. Dish it out in much, much smaller doses — a few times a week instead of a few times a day — and I bet you'll find his responses a little more enthusiastic in the future.
Dear Wendy: "Should I Tell His New Girlfriend That He's A Cheater?"
Dear Wendy: "He Doesn't Make Enough Time for Me! I'm Pissed!"
A few years ago I moved in with my then-boyfriend and our dynamic changed in a very bad way. He started staying at work late every night so we would hardly spend time together; he treated me horribly, losing interest in sex and dismissing my attempts to communicate about the change in our relationship. The worst thing was I was trapped; any other time I would have simply said "Next!" and moved on, but now I couldn't do that due to that signature on the lease. Anyway, things came to a head and we managed to break our lease in a very expensive way. The reasons he gave for breaking up included— among other things — the fact that I had recently bought slippers and refused to dye my hair. I was rather scarred to say the least. Fast forward to my current relationship with someone who is absolutely wonderful and has recently suggested we move in together (we have been together about a year and a half). While this man seems much more calm and loving than my past boyfriend I can remember a time I thought my ex was a great person as well. I don't trust myself to make this sort of decision but I don't want my past to hold me back either. Any words of wisdom? — Second time's a charm?
Your relationship with your ex didn't implode because you moved in together; it imploded because you weren't right for each other. Moving in together simply sped the process of figuring that out. If you hadn't moved in with him, you likely would have broken up eventually, but without the benefit of the lessons you undoubtedly learned by spending a few months living with a partner. Now, you are in a completely different relationship. Your dynamic as live-in partners will be different than the dynamic you had with your ex, but the whole dynamic of your relationship is different. That's not to say that you're necessarily right for each other. I have no way of knowing that. But I can tell you you'll found out the answer pretty quickly if you move in together. And, maybe this time, the answer will be a good one.

text: Hambantota - Jacques Kallis recorded the best Twenty20 figures for his country to inspire South Africa to a convincing 10-wicket win over Zimbabwe in a Group C World Twenty20 match here on Thursday.Full scorecardThe 36-year-old all-rounder grabbed 4-15 and was well supported by Morné Morkel's 2-16 as Zimbabwe were kept down to 93-8 - their second lowest total in all Twenty20 internationals - after they were asked to bat first.Openers Richard Levi then notched 50 not out and Hashim Amla an unbeaten 32 to knock off the low target in the 12.4 overs to cap a comfortable victory for one of the title favourites in this 12-team competition.The defeat meant Zimbabwe becomes the first team to go out of the tournament after a one-sided match watched by just 1 000 fans in Mahinda Rajapaksa stadium.Levi hit six boundaries off 43 balls, while Amla hit three off 33 deliveries."I am very happy with the start," said South African skipper AB de Villiers. "I back my pace bowlers to do well on this kind of deck and hopefully it's the same for the next game."We've improved a lot facing spin in these conditions, so can't wait to take on what's coming our way."Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor said his team was disappointed, but promised to come back strongly in future events."It's definitely disappointing and the end of the road," said Taylor. "South Africa showed what a classy bowling line-up they are. We are a team that is going to bounce back sharply."Zimbabwe failed against a ruthless South African pace quartet, led by Kallis and Morné Morkel.Craig Ervine top-scored with 37, and added 35 for the fourth wicket with Stuart Matsikenyeri (11), to help Zimbabwe just avoid their lowest total of 84 in all Twenty20 internationals, made against New Zealand in 2010.Morné Morkel dismissed Vusi Sibanda (nought) and Brendan Taylor (four) in his first two overs before Kallis polished off the middle-order with the wickets of Matsikenyeri and Elton Chigumbura off successive deliveries in his first over.He then dismissed Graeme Cremer (six) and Ervine to improve on Morné Morkel's 4-17 against New Zealand in 2007 which was the previous best bowling by a South African in a Twenty20 match.Hosts Sri Lanka, who beat Zimbabwe by 82 runs, play South Africa in the final Group C match on Saturday.The top two teams from each of the four groups will advance to the Super Eights round, which means the Proteas are safely through. Brief scores:Zimbabwe 93-8 in 20 overs (C. Ervine 37, J. Kallis 4-15); South Africa 94-0 in 12.4 overs (R. Levi 50 not out, Hashim Amla 32 not out)Teams:South Africa:AB de Villiers (captain), Hashim Amla, Farhaan Behardien, Johan Botha, JP Duminy, Jacques Kallis, Richard Levi, Albie Morkel, Morné Morkel, Robin Peterson, Dale Steyn.Zimbabwe:Brendan Taylor (captain), Vusi Sibanda, Hamilton Masakadza, Stuart Matsikenyeri, Elton Chigumbura, Craig Ervine, Graeme Cremer, Ray Price, Kyle Jarvis, Brian Vitori, Prosper Utseya.Umpires: Steve Davis (AUS) and Richard Kettleborough (ENG)Tv umpire: Ian Gould (ENG)Match referee: Jeff Crowe (NZL)

Serial thief Jason Scarff wept in the dock when he was sentenced to prison for burglary at a Semington garage.
The 24-year-old, of Pinto Walk, Westbury, was jailed for 22 weeks by magistrates in Chippenham last Thursday, after he pleaded guilty to burglary from Marcos Heritage Spares at Littleton Green last November.
His accomplice, 20-year-old Danny Hitt, of Clearwood View, Chapmanslade, was given a four-month curfew and ordered to pay £500 compensation on February 6.
The pair broke into the vintage vehicle garage on November 8, stealing tools, rare alloys and a filing cabinet containing the garage's irreplaceable document index, which was never recovered. Scarff's solicitor Moses Tawo described him as a rolling stone, with "no place to call his home", and told the court he was acting under the spell of peer pressure.
The probation service recommended 200 hours of unpaid work, but magistrates were informed Scarff had missed six previous appointments, and imposed a custodial sentence.
Chairman of the bench Jane Wilson Ward said: "This burglary was committed on bail, you've had previous serious convictions and probation are having some difficulty engaging with you in your order.
"We are sending you to prison for 22 weeks. This offence is so serious only a custodial sentence is justified."
Scarff carried out the burglary while on bail for the theft of £2,000-worth of roof tiles from Lacock Cricket Club, for which he was given a five-month suspended sentence, and has previously been jailed for other burglaries.
The garage's office manager Emily MacMath said: "We are glad that he has been put away. We are not going to get the parts back, but at least that's something.
"We had a payment order come through so hopefully we will get some kind of compensation, but it won't replace what was taken."
Scarff and his girlfriend wept as he was taken away to the cells.

Last year the Decatur Eagles advanced to the area round of the playoffs. With a lot of familiar faces back, the Eagles look to have similar success as they embark on the new District 9-3A.Decatur (14-8) and Bridgeport (13-10) will begin their push to the postseason Friday at Bridgeport. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m.
The rival schools will begin the district schedule against each other for the first time in two years.
"It will be interesting," new Decatur coach Drew Coffman said about his first meeting with the Bulls. "It's always going to be tough whether it's the first game or the last game. It will be a challenge."
The Bulls will be looking to take advantage of an early district schedule that has them playing three of their first four league games at home.
"It's not a good or a bad thing," Bridgeport coach Brian Miller said about starting with Decatur. "You should always get up for the first district game no matter who you are playing."
If Bridgeport can take advantage of the home-court, it will put them in great position for one of the three playoff positions.
Decatur will get an early district bye after the Bridgeport contest Friday, followed by two home games.
With a loaded pre-district schedule and coming off a win against Iowa Park, Coffman feels his team is ready.
"Our non-district schedule was pretty tough with some 4A and 5A schools," Coffman said. "We played up quite a bit so hopefully it will pay off. We took some lumps, but hopefully it will pay off down the road."
Decatur does not have a big-time scorer and have relied on their defense to create most of their offense this season. Half-court execution on offense is still a concern for Coffman.
"We still have problems and have had to find different ways to score," Coffman said. "Our best offense is our defense. We still have be able to execute in the half-court, and that is still a concern."
Bridgeport has won of two of their last three games and have three more victories than they had at this point last season. They will try to ride that momentum into league play.
"We've been playing better as the year has went along," Miller said.
Although only five teams make up District 9-3A that doesn't mean anything will be any easier. Decatur and Bridgeport will have to battle Gainesville, Krum and Sanger for a playoff spot.
"Any night in this district anybody can beat anybody," Miller said. "Each team does different things well."
Coffman added that with only five teams, each game is so important.
"We are all so close together," Coffman said. "With fewer teams, it helps your chances, but it puts so much value on each game. There is not a lot of time to make up a loss."

In this incisive new book, Michael Mandelbaum argues that the era marked by an expansive American foreign policy is coming to an end. During the seven decades from the U.S. entry into World War II in 1941 to the present, economic constraints rarely limited what the United States did in the world. Now that will change. The country's soaring deficits, fueled by the huge costs of the financial crash and of its entitlement programs - Social Security and Medicare - will compel a more modest American international presence.
In assessing the consequences of this new, less expensive foreign policy, Mandelbaum, one of America's leading foreign policy experts, describes the policies the United States will have to discontinue; assesses the potential threats from China, Russia, and Iran; and recommends a new policy, centered on a reduction in the nation's dependence on foreign oil, which can do for America and the world in the 21st century what the containment of the Soviet Union did in the 20th.

That's precisely the point. Defendant's counsel is "overreaching" in her approach to Discovery, issuing subpoenas as soon as Discovery was served, over 28 of them. Then near the end of Discovery issuing the subpoenas including my wife. There's a certain abuse of an officer of the courts power going on here.
There was no reason given as to why they included my wife as any income on her part would be considered inmaterial anyway.

The FAA has reached agreements with four U.S. airlines to fund in-cockpit runway safety systems, in this case electronic flight bags (EFBs), in exchange for the operational data those systems would generate. Under the plan, the FAA will provide $600,000 each to SkyWest Airlines, Piedmont Airlines, US Airways and Southwest Airlines to invest in the new technology in airplanes they'll fly into and out of 21 testbed airports.
Each airline will install the technology in 20 aircraft by May 15 next year. The agency expects to collect the initial results from the data analysis by next September. Each agreement remains in effect through September 2011. Meanwhile, the FAA continues to review other airlines' proposals to deploy the technology, and it said it expects to announce other awards as part of the $5 million program. The agency chose the testbed airports based on their history of runway incursions or runway "safety issues."
The airports include Los Angeles International; Boston Logan International; Chicago O'Hare; Newark; Cleveland; Fort Lauderdale; Houston Hobby; Anchorage; San Francisco; Las Vegas McCarran; Charlotte; Miami; Philadelphia; Albuquerque; Daytona Beach, Fla.; Phoenix; Dallas-Fort Worth; John F. Kennedy; Atlanta; La Guardia; and Seattle Sea-Tac.
"This technology is on every pilot's wish list," said FAA Acting Administrator Bobby Sturgell. "It's going to be a big boost for runway safety. As a former airline pilot myself, I can tell you putting these systems in the cockpit will raise situational awareness considerably."
According to an FAA spokesman, the technology will provide pilots with the level of situational awareness they'll get with automated dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B), considered a critical part of the NextGen air transportation system.
FAA research conducted with the airline industry and other experts showed the technology could have eliminated 44 percent of the serious runway incursions caused by pilot error in the U.S. between 2004 and 2008. "We believe the electronic flight bags will be particularly useful to pilots at night, in poor weather or when the crew is not familiar with the airport layout," said the spokesman.
"We want carriers to install flight bags on aircraft that they fly into busy airports, such as [Los Angeles International], that have a history of runway incursions that could have been prevented with the technology," said the FAA. "In fact, we believe LAX could realize the greatest benefit from this technology because it had the highest number of incursions that might have been prevented with it."
The agency says it has received proposals from 22 airlines that want to participate in the trial program. The FAA said it would rank the proposals based on the number of flights that the airline's EFB-equipped aircraft would make at its top target airports.

Wait. Let me get this straight: D.C. Councilwoman Mary Cheh doesn't regret endorsing Kwame R. Brown in 2010 for chairman of the legislature? I was flummoxed when I heard that.
After all, Brown was forced to resign from office last month after being charged with and pleading guilty to felony bank fraud and a misdemeanor campaign finance violation. Further, Cheh had said, then, she felt "betrayed" and Brown "let down the District of Columbia."
Had the Ward 3 legislator fallen down the rabbit hole, yet again?
"I really don't regret what I did because at the time I thought it was right," Cheh told Chuck Thies during an interview on his WPFW radio show--D.C. Politics. "I didn't know he cheated on his mortgage application."
But, when Cheh endorsed Brown warning signals blared: There were media reports about the terrible state of his personal finances, including lawsuits by three credit card companies. The Office of Campaign Finance had begun an investigation into the financial operations of his 2008 campaign. Cheh ignored all that; she placed her imprimatur and political organization behind his bid for chairman.
She was not alone. Thousands of residents supported Brown. I didn't.
Still, Cheh's failure during that radio show to analyze--honestly and forthrightly--her decision to support Brown was troubling. Equally disappointing, she misused the opportunity to discuss, with candor, the importance of voters educating themselves about candidates. Bright smiles, folksy homilies and the fact that a candidate may be the enemy or your enemy aren't sufficient qualifications for leadership.
Choosing a leader shouldn't be taken lightly or fueled by past grudges.
Cheh has become CEO of Grudge Central.
During the radio interview, she justified her failure to fully vet Brown and the decision to support Mayor Vincent C. Gray by trashing Adrian M. Fenty and Vincent Orange.
"I was mostly shocked when [Cheh] said that Fenty had racially divided the city," Thies told me. "[Fenty's] political opponents portrayed things like dog parks and bike lanes as white centric. [It] really surprised me [she] bought into that."
Fenty as racial villain was the message of candidate Gray and his operatives. Two years later, Cheh continues to perpetuate that false characterization. Why?
She also sought, yet again, to cast Fenty as corrupt, arguing he steered contracts to friends. Last year, the independent counsel working for the legislature concluded, after an extensive investigation, Fenty had not engaged in any wrongdoing.
As for Orange, Cheh admitted that in 2010 she knew him only as a lobbyist for PEPCO and "was not favorably impressed." That's because he opposed her energy legislation. Now, as an at-large councilman, Orange has opposed several other bills she has offered. That accounted, in part, for her unwillingness last month to support him as chairman pro tempore.
Trust and confidence in the legislature won't be restored any time soon, if council members use public forums, as Cheh did, to rehash false allegations, replay petty grievances and advance personal vendettas.

So I thought I'd take a break from my normal posts and actually try writing a little about games. Like my usual posts, it's not something I do very often, if ever..
I'll just give a quick breakdown of what I've been playing lately and maybe go from there.
*Edit – Tomb Raider went a bit longer than I expected so look for more posts..
I went into this with mixed expectations, I truly loved the original games, but I never got into the recent iterations of the franchise. I think it was when they brought Jolie on board for a movie that I lost interest.
Not sure how I could lose interest with this and I was going to say something else but kind of lost my train of thought..
I swear that's water in the second image, mostly..
The re-imagining / origins story received decent reviews across the board so I was sold, but despite my best efforts I still came across a lot of little spoilers before getting the game, so I'll try to avoid as much of that as I can here.
I found Lara's evolution to be quite rapid but no more than it had to be.
Not this sort of evolution..
Stranded, alone, she was in a desperate situation, very much kill or be killed, she did what needed to be done. I get that the emotional repercussions seem to have been set aside, but the action never really abated, she doesn't have much opportunity to rest or dwell on what she's done. I think it would be great if there's a sequel (I've no doubt that there will be) to see she's still haunted by her experiences, struggling to come to terms with all she's seen and done.
The combat was quiet fluid, blending bow/gunplay and melee nicely, if not always successfully. Any game that allows me use a bow has a very special place in my heart. Ever since I was a young fella watching Rambo cut foes (so many of them!) down to size with a bow I've always migrated towards them as my weapon of choice.
Not much in the difference..
My main concern with the game was that for the first 3-4 hours I didn't really feel like I was Lara, I felt like I was there with her, a guardian angel of sorts trying to protect her from all of the awful things this island had to offer. That's a pretty big deal-breaker for me, if I'm not absorbed into the story or the character I tend to put the game back on the shelf to gather dust. I'm not sure what the disconnection was, maybe the story was just a little thin to begin with, but thankfully the feeling didn't last. There was some turning point, can't remember where, but there was an onslaught of enemies and I found myself thinking "These feckers are going to kill me if I don't get out of here", a drastic shift from the earlier monologue of "It's ok Lara, I won't let them hurt you" or "Don't worry Lara, I got you covered!". Yeah I'm weird, leave me alone.. Unfortunately "Lara" or should I say "I", spent a great deal of time in this sort of state..
I just wanted to raid tombs and fight dinosaurs, why does everyone want to kill me?!
I'll leave it at that for now, I was going to write more, but each thing I wrote in some way revealed spoilers so no, I think that's enough.
Great game, the story could be a bit more robust, but will be there day 1 if / when the sequel launches.
If you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend it.
Thanks for reading and feel free to let me know your thoughts on the game!

Bacchus Marsh is an urban centre and suburban locality in Victoria, Australia located approximately west of the state capital Melbourne and west of Melton at a near equidistance to the major cities of Melbourne, Ballarat and Geelong. The formerly small town was reclassed as a Significant Urban Area by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in 2011 and officially became part of the Melbourne metropolitan area. The urban area sprawls to the north and south of the Western Freeway with a total population of 14,913 people. The central locality (suburb) by the same name is home to 5,760 people and contains the central business district. Bacchus Marsh is the largest urban area in the local government area of Shire of Moorabool.
Traditionally a market garden area, producing a large amount of the region's fruits and vegetables in recent decades it has transformed into the main commuter town on the Melbourne-Ballarat corridor with its affordable starter homes proving popular.
It was named after one of its original inhabitants, Captain William Henry Bacchus, who saw the great value of this locality as it was situated on two rivers — the Lerderderg and Werribee.

Or at least better than I could today, at the moment I am in a bit of a brain free zone.
I am running by the numbers at work, uni has fallen by the wayside and ALIA 2008 stuff is piling up in my inbox much too rapidly for me to deal with it.
After rejoicing at the fact I was no longer El-Presidente of the rugby club, I've gone an been made secretary of the union. More work which I will fail to do or do in a half arsed manner, up until the point I turn the corner and become manic again and do it all in a week. Why accept the position? Well, all the other positions had been filled by members of one club and they didn't want to be the only ones on the committee because they figured that the morons from the unrepresented clubs would bitch and complain. Anyway, I ended up saying I'd do it.
So who said what better than me now?
Andrew over at Librarian Idol has a great new post about public libraries being free (you get what you pay for?)
He suggests "PUBLIC LIBRARIES - FREE BUT NOT CHEAP" as something we should aspire to and I damn well agree with him.
Plus, we're not free. People just don't know that they are paying to use our services (even those who aren't using them have paid somehow, somewhere along the lines, except kids and those who have never paid taxes, rates, rent... which come to think of it in this town is a large number of people.)

Darn Tough Vermont Maintains Record-Setting Momentum: Q2 2012 Another Company Best
For Immediate Release
Tom Kupfer
PMG Public Relations
Phone: (802) 863-3929 ext: 106
E-Mail: email@example.com
Darn Tough Vermont, American manufacturer of the only premium, performance socks with an unconditional lifetime guarantee, reports continued growth and another record-setting quarter. Q2 top-line growth was up 46 percent versus the corresponding quarter in 2011, a year that saw revenue up 82 percent over 2010 for Darn Tough Vermont and parent company Cabot Hosiery.
"In the overcrowded sock market where companies are competing for very limited retail space, we're incredibly proud to achieve this kind of growth," said Ric Cabot, founder and president of Darn Tough Vermont. "Our 'crowded in the middle' approach necessitates a superior product that stands in a class of its own. The positive consumer response that has resulted has driven growth of existing accounts and fostered new business domestically and internationally."
The company that aims to bring the "Sock Capital of the World" title back to the U.S. says the relentless pursuit of three sock qualities – comfort, fit and durability – are the bastions of its success. But it takes more than just good intentions to produce the best, says Cabot. "It's easy to make a sock, as evidenced by the number of companies doing it all over the world. It's even easier to have someone make it for you, then stamp your logo on it and market it. But making a great sock and standing behind it for life, now that's tough, and something we wouldn't be able to do if we weren't doing it ourselves here in Vermont."
A number of recent changes have contributed to the company's growth. An ever-expanding women's lifestyle line has helped open new accounts and grow others, the addition of True-Seamless™ technology to all Ultra Light and the newly released Light Cushion socks has secured the brand's position as a leader in performance socks, and new packaging has given the product extra pop on the shelf. That combined with a veteran manufacturing team and meticulous attention to detail allow Darn Tough to consistently put out best-in-class product.
Looking ahead to the second half of 2012, typically the company's strongest half, Cabot remains bullish. "We expect to continue exceeding our sales and revenue targets. In 2013, we aim to expand the physical footprint of our mill here in the sock capital of the world."

1996 Rob Liefeld Teaches You How Comics Are Made [Video]
The step-by-step process of how a comic book gets made might be a pretty common bonus feature in paperbacks these days, but back in 1996, the process was a little more mysterious. That's why the Canadian TV show The Anti Gravity Room — which aired in America on the Sci-Fi Channel — did an episode where they took their viewers through the whole deal, from plot all the way to publishing. And the guys they chose to walk you through it?
Award-winning cartoonist Ty Templeton and the man who needs no introduction, Rob Liefeld. Check out the video, ripped from glorious mid-90s VHS, below!
I'll admit that it's always pretty fun to watch the Rob be interviewed, mostly because he always comes off so darn friendly. It's also worth noting that this this interview took place fifteen years ago, but he looks the exact same as he does today. The man does not age. I am convinced that he has a portrait of himself in his attic — complete with bulging muscles, shoulder pads, thigh pouches and tiny feet — that's slowly growing more and more withered, while the Rob himself remains eternally youthful.
One of the best bits comes when the Rob talks about where he gets his ideas, and he mentions thinking up comics while sitting in church. When I sent this video to CA's Editor-in-Chief Laura Hudson, she asked me which of Rob Liefeld's comics I thought were the ones he thought up in church. I think that's pretty obvious; it's probably the one where Jesus pulls Himself off the cross and has a fistfight with Zeus.
Just a thought.
I remember watching this when I was a kid, and somehow I completely forgot about the part where the host, Phil, gives Rob Liefeld a plot about how he wants to make out with Avengelyne, Glory, and the girls from Gen 13. What I do remember, however, is the art process bit with Ty Templeton. And considering it opens with him just straight up throwing away what everyone else wants to talk about so that he can do something that involves Batman, it probably had a pretty profound impact.
Templeton's great, and he does his section with a ton of humor that makes it really fun to watch. What makes it really interesting is that he's showing how to do everything by hand — he mentions that coloring the actual pages is on its way out due to computers, but even lettering the pages by hand before the art is completed is something that's rarely done anymore.
Incidentally, the page he's working on in the bit is from The Batman & Robin Adventures #1, which he did pencil — although as he mentions, Cy, Sly, and Guy Templeton were clearly using their professional pen names:
The show continued with a segment about editors with legendary Marvel EIC Jim Shooter and even a trip to the presses to see how comics were actually printed, and it makes for a pretty neat, surprisingly informative show. It's well worth taking the half hour to check the whole thing out — if only because you get to see the Rob interviewed in front of his infamous Captain America drawing.
Unfortunately, it never comes up in the interview.

text: DETROIT ( TheStreet) -- GM ( GM) shares are already up 22% this year, but a top auto industry analyst sees room for more gains. "We expect very encouraging (second quarter) results from General Motors, with potential for a meaningful upside surprise vs. consensus," wrote Deutsche Bank analyst Rod Lache, in a report issued Tuesday. "We believe that GM's Q2 call could be very significant, as we expect a significant acceleration in profitability" starting in the second half of the year. GM will report second-quarter earnings two weeks from today on July 25. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters estimate earnings of 74 cents a share. Lache is at 82 cents and wrote "We believe our estimates may be too low, as we see potential upside from volume, costs and pricing in North America." However, share price optimism is not unanimous. In a recent report, S&P Capital IQ analyst Efraim Levy rated GM a hold, with a target price of $33. Levy wrote that applying a multiple of eight to his 2013 earnings forecast of $3.32 leads to his target. The consenus full-year earnings estimate is $3.28. GM, like Ford ( F), is benefitting from continuing strong auto sales, which are leading to continued increases in expert estimates of 2013 sales. On Tuesday, for example, UBS analyst Colin Langan raised his estimate for 2013 light vehicle sales to 15.5 million units. Levy estimates 15.4 million. Auto sales have risen steadily since hitting a 27-year-low of 10.3 million in 2009. The 2012 total was 14.5 million. "We remain bullish on the US automakers given their exposure to the US recovery, potential for market share gains, and rising full size pickup demand," Langan wrote in a note. He has buys on Ford and GM. Part of the charm of both companies is strong pickup truck sales. In June, GM pickup truck sales rose 29%, Ford F-150 sales rose 24% and Chrysler Ram sales rose 23%. Also, Toyota ( TM) pickup truck sales rose 16%. In the midst of the boom, GM has just started to roll out its new 2014 Silverado.

Button Pusher.Why is that ex boyfriends always try to push your buttons? Do they think its funny?
I have an exboyfriend who always laughs at me, and thinks its funnyto call me on restricted numbers or to just call me and ask me stupid questions like "have i ever done it in the pooper?" Who does that like really?
And whenever im with my friend in the hallway at school, him and his friend always stare at us and laugh......
Why do they want to get attention from me? Its quit annoying!!
I dont understand.... does anyone know why he does this.....?
he does it cause you know he has a small penis.
Stand strong girl. He's a dooshbag and you will find better I promise
i can relate...and then they think its funny...but its not funny it causes a lot of stress and pain
Well, I can think of two reasons. One, he is immature. Two, he knows it annoys you.

If he and his friends look at you and your friends and laugh; lean in close to one of your friends, and whisper something to her, then have her look over at him and both of you laugh uncontrollably. Then walk away, still laughing and shaking your heads. That should give him something to think about.

If he calls you from a restricted number, either don't answer restricted numbers, or if you do, hang up on him as soon as you hear his voice. Do NOT say a word. Don't give him the satisfaction. Remember, he is an EX for a reason. Aren't boys wonderful?

Good luck.
He will find a way to annoy you for as long as it works. When he realizes you aren't bothered by him anymore, he will stop. There is no fun in bugging someone who isn't getting bugged.

South African takes 4th place at international sommelier competition
The most challenging aspect of the competition was undoubtedly the theory paper – a test unlike any other I've ever encountered - Jeff Lopes
The Saxon Boutique Hotel, Villas and Spa is renowned for its superb food and wine. So it wasn't too surprising that the hotel's Jeff Lopes represented South Africa at the international Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Jeunes Sommeliers Competition, and claimed 4th place.
The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs international gastronomic society dates back to the 13th century, and the annual Jeunes Sommeliers Competition was first introduced in 2007 to test the skills of young sommeliers. While the competition may be aimed at 'junior' sommeliers (from ages 21 to 35), the stringent criteria are very demanding.
Twelve sommeliers were selected to represent South Africa internationally after regional selections in June. They were pitted against the best in the world and examined on both theory and practical knowledge.
The young sommeliers were tested on a variety of topics, including decantation of vintage wines, menu correction, food and wine pairing, and a very challenging blind-tasting of selected wines from around the world.
The 27-year-old Lopes said the pressure was definitely on. 'The most challenging aspect of the competition was undoubtedly the theory paper – a test unlike any other I've ever encountered,' he said.
'But just competing has been a very proud moment in my life. Representing South Africa at home and the camaraderie and friendships developed have also been greatly rewarding,' he added.
The Saxon sommelier team is very passionate about the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Jeunes Sommeliers Competition. The hotel has had an excellent run the past 3 years. Head Sommelier, Frances Krone, who has previously participated in the competition, will continue to groom young sommeliers.

However many bailouts, the eurozone will soon be the twilight zone…(Prep, Muppets! Prep!!)
All the bailout mechanisms under the sun cannot make the eurozone work.
By Roger Bootle
08 Jul 2012
Another week, another summit. This week's shindig of EU leaders in Brussels will be bound to focus on efforts to shore up the euro. Once again, it is likely to disappoint. The main issue is well-known; bailouts for indigent, non-tax-paying southerners at the expense of hard-working northerners.
The form book tells us that even if they come up with something, the proffered solution will be too little, too late.
But the real issue goes deeper. All the bailout mechanisms under the sun cannot make the eurozone work. Such bailouts are still, in the end, loans. Even if the interest rates are set very low, interest is due to be paid and the debt eventually to be repaid.
What would make some difference is if the money provided were not some sort of loan but rather an outright gift. Such gifts can be made in advance (although they rarely are) or after the event, when they are called write-offs. Sometimes a recipient itself turns what was once a loan into a gift. This is called a default. But northern countries understandably don't want their past loans turned into gifts, and they don't want to be forced to make new gifts until the crack of doom.
Yet even continued gifts under some sort of fiscal union would not bring prosperity, as we see clearly in Italy. Italian unification in 1861 married the Germanic north with the Latin south. The consequent misalignment continues to this day. If the euro holds together, this would leave the southern peripheral countries as a giant version of the Mezzogiorno.
The Rest…HERE

This team still has some work to do if we want to take down the big boys in a 7 game series.
Good game, so we know that it will be 10000 time harder in the playoffs, cause LeBrick didn't do much today. Way to go.
I need to stop following Skip Bayless on twitter.
Beat 'em in May.

Hand Crafted, Classically Inspired Architectural
Columns, Balustrades & Details
Selection Guide
Melton Classics offers the industry's most comprehensive selection of column products, and our customers have numerous differeing building applications, materials, finishes and designs. Therefore, we feel it is important to offer our customers experienced counsel to assist them in selecting the ideal columns for their project. We begin by listening closely to our customer's needs and desires. We ask questions to ensure we understand your design goals, and educate you on all your options. Then based on our three decades of column experience, we consult with you to help you select the ideal column product for your specific design, application.and budget. Please call one of our experienced Architectural Column Specialists at 800-963-3060 for a free consultation and quotation on the ideal column product for your design, application and budget.
The Column Selector has been designed to cover several areas that will impact your decision on what column you ultimately need for your application, design and budget.
|Do you need Load bearing Columns or Column Covers?
|Architectural Column Finishes and Textures – Prefinished Columns, Maintenance Free Columns or Painted Columns
|Design Selection Assistance, and Our Gallery of Standard Columns
|Custom Columns, Custom Pilasters and Custom Pillars
|Columns and Pilasters – A close relationship
|The Relationship Between Architectural Columns, Piers and Balustrades
|The Orders of Architecture – The Classical Rules of Column Design and Proportion
|Architectural Column Proportion – Column Height to Diameter Relationship Assistance
One of the first decisions to be made in selecting a column is whether you want to use your column as a load bearing column, or will you use a steel or wood load bearing member to do the load bearing work, and use your column as a decorative column in the form of a column cover. This decision is best made early in the design phase of your project, and is normally made in consultation with your AIA Certified Architect and a structural engineer. Your Melton Classics Column Specialist will be pleased to assist you with some basic guidelines.
Assembly and joining the column halves can be an expensive and laborious part of your column project unless it is handled properly. You can, however, greatly simplify installation and greatly lower installation costs by selecting the right column cover for your application, or by avoiding the use of a split column or column cover altogether.
There are several ways that we can assist you in eliminating or reducing the cost of using a split column or column cover. We can even show you how to use a one piece column with your steel or wood load bearing supports without splitting the column shaft. In order to help you reduce costs it is critical that we consult with you early in your project to be of maximum assistance in avoiding or reducing the labor and cost of joining column covers. Please call one of our experienced Architectural Column Specialists 800-963-3060 for assistance with your application and selecting the ideal column for your project.
When your project calls for a column cover, Melton Classics has the largest selection of column covers in the industry. Most of our column products, when not split for reassembly, are load bearing, however, live loads are best carried by a steel post or beam, or a structural wood member that will provide structural attachment to the beam and floor. In many exterior applications uplift, shear, or wind loading issues are also a consideration. This makes the use of a structural steel member or Simpson Tie Bolt inside the column important for the purposes of tie down of the structure in high winds. In these cases, we recommend the use of one of our many decorative column covers or column wraps.
We also have a wide variety of load bearing columns that will support many thousands of pounds each. See the technical sections for load bearing capacity estimates and guidelines. Be sure to consult your architect or structural engineer for exact load values and to determine if it is appropriate to use a load bearing column for your specific application.
Melton Classics offers a wide variety of maintenance free prefinished columns in a variety of colors and textures. Whether you are looking for a small porch column or a large column for a courthouse, Melton Classics can provide you a maintenance free column for your design.
Synthetic Stone Prefinished and Textured Columns
Our MarbleTex Columns and RusticStone Columns are cast from integrally colored maintenance free synthetic stone. Textured with a fine sandblasted texture, these columns come in a variety of colors and designs to enhance any project. They can be provided with a one piece shaft for load bearing applications or can be split for reassembly around structural steel as a column cover or column wrap. For applications where you need a prefinished column cover, we also offer our FiberCrete GFRC and MeltonStone Cast Stone column covers in a variety of stone finishes and textures. These beautiful column covers provide the look and feel of stone with reduced weight. They can also be matched to a myriad of MeltonStone Cast Stone architectural elements such as balustrades, mouldings and millwork for complete coordination of your architectural elements. Click here to see our full line of beautiful maintenance free Prefinished Columns.
We also offer a wide variety of paint grade and stain grade columns to allow the application of field applied paints and stain finishes. To coordinate with our paint grade columns we offer a wide variety of low maintenance Balustrades and Architectural Urethane Millwork products. These polyurethane millwork products are factory primed and provide a cost saving and more durable low maintenance alternative to wood mouldings and millwork.

Melton Classics offers the most comprehensive selection of Architectural Column Designs in the industry. From Classical Columns based on the timeless Orders of Architecture to Craftsman Columns or Arts and Crafts Columns, or completely custom columns of your design, Melton Classics can create any column design you desire. We offer classically tapered round columns with entasis tapered shafts and contemporary round columns with straight shafts. Square columns and pillars are offered with straight column shafts or tapered column shaft styles in paneled column, fluted column or plain smooth column designs. In our Architectural Column section you will find a photo of each of the standard designs offered in each product group under the Designs tab to assist you in finding the ideal architectural column for your project. For a look at our classically designed column capital and column base designs please see the Capitals and Bases section of the website. Click here for a Column Galleryof most of our standard architectural columns. For custom designs call us at 800-963-3060 for a free consultation and custom quotation.
Melton Classics also specializes in the custom manufacture of custom architectural columns at amazingly affordable prices. The only limitation to what we can create for you is your imagination. If you don't see the design you are looking for, or are looking for a custom column, please send us your drawings and call one of our Architectural Column Specialists for an economical quotation for your custom columns.
In addition to full columns, any of our columns can be supplied as an engaged column or pilaster. Pilasters are the classical compliment to the free standing column, and are used to enhance column design by adding a mirror image of the full free standing column engaged to an adjoining wall. Melton Classics offers pilasters and engaged columns in a variety of styles to enhance all designs of our full round columns, square columns and pillars.
In Classical Architecture columns were set atop piers to enhance design, and to act as a pier attachment for balustrades. The pier was so integral to classical architecture that it was included in the Orders of Architecture when proportions were established for each Order. Melton Classics offers column piers and balustrade piers and newel posts in a wide variety of materials and designs to enhance the beauty of your columns. Balustrades were often incorporated with columns in classical architecture and normally were placed between the piers atop which the architectural columns were placed. Melton Classics can assist you in designing your porch columns atop piers or with balustrade running between the column shafts.We also offer balustrades with rail spans up to 20 feet uninterrupted by posts, piers, or columns. For more design ideas in how to incorporate balustrades into your column design see our Balustrades Section or call us at 800-963-3060 for a free personal consultation.
The classic column designs of Melton Classics are based on the timeless Orders of Architecture laid down in the 1500's by the Italian Renaissance architect Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola. Vignola codified the rules of classical column architecture from Greek and Roman architecture on which the design and proportions of the Orders of Architecture are based. Classical columns are based on temples from ancient Greece and Rome and are constructed with specific diameter to height ratios based on the Column Order, or design. The Comparison of the Orders below illustrates the varying proportions between the Orders which are based off of the bottom diameter of the column shaft which indicates the relative proportion of the surrounding architectural elements, as well.
For a larger more detailed view of the Comparison of the Orders click here.
The Comparison of the Orders plate above is the sole property of Melton Classics Incorporated. Any use or reproduction without prior written permission is prohibited.
The classically proportioned column is based proportionally as it sits atop a pier and is embellished above with a large entablature. Modern architecture often lacks the column piers, large entablatures, or beams, and large exterior cornices above the columns. Therefore, it is not unusual to see the modern column proportioned slightly more slender than is indicated by the Orders of Architecture. An often used minimum height to diameter ratio is an inch in diameter for each foot of height for individual (unpaired) architectural columns. If the columns are paired or tripled on a corner an even slimmer column may be proportionally sufficient depending on the design. Our Architectural Column Specialists will be pleased to give you any guidance you desire with regard to column diameter or design selection based on your project's architectural style. How columns relate to one another is also included in the Orders of Architecture in establishing a spacing guide between columns, Intercolumniation, and a hierarchy and proportion of columns on different floors of a building, Superposition.
Please give one of our experienced Architectural Column Specialists at 800-963-3060 for a free consultation and quotation on the ideal Melton Classics Architectural Column for your design, application and budget.

Ghazali, Syafii and Mohamed Nor, Khalid and Abdel-akher, Mamdouh (2009) Parallel sequence decoupled full newton-raphson three phase power flow. In: IEEE TENCON 2009, 2009, Raffles Boulevard, Suntec City, Singapore.
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TENCON.2009.5395901
A three phase power flow program based on symmetrical components comprises three independent subproblems corresponding to positive, negative, and zero-sequence networks. The positive sequence network is solved using sequence decoupled full Newton-Rahpson method without any modifications in their formulation. The negative- and zero-sequence networks are solved using nodal voltage equations. These three sequence networks have been modelled by three independent equivalent circuits and solved simultaneously using multi-core processors parallel programming. The parallel three-phase power-flow program has been tested using IEEE 13, 34 and 123 node feeder and a practical 37 node distribution feeder. The result showed that parallel three phase load flow produced execution speedup for every test system.

About The Film:
For some, embracing the mountains is not just part of life—it's a way of life. The search for snow shapes not only how they approach these peaks, but also how they approach the world. And whether athletes spend their days dropping first descents in Alaska, lapping the local mountain, or training for the Olympics, they're part of a community built around a shared passion. The bonds that form from this community transcend continents and cultures, transforming strangers into friends. After all, a smile on a powder day needs no translation.
Shot on location in 2013, Teton Gravity Research's Way of Life takes you on a journey to the mountains and inside the minds of today's top athletes. With stunning imagery created with GSS, Red Cinema, and the Sony Action Cam, this film explores the origins of skiing in Austria, the search for original lines in Alaska, and the U.S. Freeskiing Team's quest for Olympic gold. The adventure also leads athletes to the rugged terrain of Jackson Hole and the Tetons, as well as the backcountry of British Columbia. Regardless of the terrain they ride, the athletes featured in Way of Life push the boundaries of what's possible. This journey takes them across the globe as they form a brotherhood that needs no language.

Durban - A KwaZulu-Natal man's 15-year prison sentence for his involvement in a murder of his uncle was set aside by the Supreme Court of Appeal on Thursday.
Beenesh Dewnath approached the court after the KwaZulu-Natal High Court convicted him of murder.
William Themba Sithole pleaded guilty to the charge and testified during the trial that Dewnath's parents hired him to kill his uncle.
He said Dewnath was in another room during the negotiations but did say something - words which the High Court regarded as him encouraging Sithole to commit the crime.
In a unanimous judgment, the SCA found Dewnath's utterances to Sithole were insufficient to conclude that he acted in common purpose with his parents.
"The appellant's utterances are at best to be regarded as evidence that he had some knowledge of the plan that was in the process of being hatched to kill the deceased," the judgment read.
"However, his mere knowledge and approval of the commission of the murder does not suffice; proof of some form of active participation is required for a conviction on the charge."
The conviction and sentence were set aside.

Anthropology–U.S. health, peer review, IRBs, fossils, archaeology, Race/IQ
Like last week, playing catch-up on my anthropology blog feed. Some things jumped to attention:
Why Does the United States Rank So Badly in Health?, Daniel Lende
(1) Societal inequality that helps drive social determinants of health, (2) A worse developmental context for some children from conception on, (3) How behavioral and mental health shape adolescent and adult life and contribute heavily to early mortality, and (4) A contradictory health care system that burdens some through error and over-treatment and does not reach those who really need the preventive and primary care that would help address factors 1, 2, and 3.
The five virtues of peer review(ers), Alex Golub
These days everyone loves to hate peer review. It is, the story goes, an old fashioned, evil form of collaboration which has been rendered obsolete by shiny new ways of communicating over the Intarweb. I am part of the problem, since I'm not uncritical of peer review. However, peer review has been so pummeled lately that I am starting to feel sorry for it since, no matter how valid many of the objections against it are, it got caught in a perfect storm of pre-existing antipathy and techno-enthusiasm that could sink pretty much anything. So I want to make a point here about peer review which I feel is under-appreciated: the value it has for improving not articles, but reviewers.
Are IRBs a Stumbling Block for an Engaged Anthropology?, Kimberly Sue
We need to challenge our IRBs and seek to understand the logic behind their conditions and changes instead of submitting so easily to their requests for revisions. We furthermore need to educate them on the implications and consequences of making social science research into a burden and a deterrent to future studies on topics like incarceration that could greatly benefit from what social science research might be able to offer. If everyone spoke a little truth to power within our own university and regulatory settings, then maybe the IRB would not seem like such a hassle, a nuisance or a stumbling block, as we seek to enact a more relevant and engaged era of anthropology.
The new Koobi Fora early Homo fossils, Adam Van Arsdale
It is clear there is an abundance of morphological diversity in the early African fossil record for Homo. The consensus going back more than 30 years is that this must be a reflection of taxonomic diversity. I am not convinced that we are at that point. It is quite possible that Bernard Wood is correct and we will look back in fifty years and say we had far too simple a perspective on issues of this time. However, it is not entirely clear to me that such a view necessitates the presence of multiple taxa, overlapping in range, morphology and ecology.
What is the significance of your research?, Michael E. Smith
One of the fascinating aspects of working with a transdisciplinary research team is experiencing these contrasting elements of disciplinary culture. Archaeologists and anthropologists are obsessed with stating the significance of our research, but other social scientists are not. Or in another example, parts of the research design that seemed fine to me were viewed as too sloppy by the sociologist. The resulting act of tightening up our independent variables proved very instructive and helpful. Perhaps archaeologists are obsessed with the significance thing, but it is a necessary and understandable obsession.
Race IQ – Game Over: It was always all about wealth, Jason Antrosio
The publication of "Race, IQ, and Wealth" by Ron Unz effectively is game over for Race IQ peddlers–it was always about wealth & inequality.

Tmart is an e-commerce store which sells mainly electronics and small gadgets but also other various types of products. The company offers worldwide free shipping which is certainly worth taking into account. The main product categories are:
Tmart has been in business for a few years now and has established itself as a reliable e-commerce website. The orders are shipped from various warehouses. Three of their largest warehouses are located in Hong Kong, the United States and in the United Kingdom. In addition, the headquarters are located in Hong Kong.
Generally, customers are even more than pleased with the service offered by Tmart. Some expect low quality products given the low prices. Fortunately, almost all clients realize that this is not true and are surprised by the fact that there exists a company which offers such low priced products and on top of that, free shipping. Of course not 100% of the customers' opinions are positive as isolated incidents can occur.
Tmart doesn't have a BBB rating. Nevertheless, various sources confirm that it is a credible company. For example, NextTag lists it as a "trusted seller". In addition Tmart Limited has been verified as the real owner of the website and official records confirm that Tmart is a valid business. VeriSign has conducted this check.
Alexa states that Tmart's website has a global traffic rank of 15000 for three months and a rank of 9000 for the US. Furthermore, Tmart has a Google PageRank of 4. Another traffic analysis website, Compete, lists it as having over 400,000 unique monthly visitors from the US only, which indicates that it is quite popular.
Tmart has a Facebook account with more than 51,000 likes. Besides this, its Twitter account has over 900 followers. Moreover, Tmart provides Android and iOS apps in order to keep its customers updated. This certainly gives it an edge over many competitors. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a blog which could have been a valuable asset.
The Tmart website is safe as it uses a secure https connection when taking payment information. To be more exact, the industry standard SSL encryption is used. Google's SafeBrowsing service lists it at non-suspicious. Besides, McAfee Secure has verified the website and it states that is safe. What all these mean is that Tmart is a trustworthy website.
The following products are among Tmart's bestselling items:
Overall, Tmart's prices are pretty much unbeatable. The best part is that customers are offered points at every order and these points translate into discounts. Compared to its rivals, Tmart has really competitive prices. Given that most of its competitors are based in China, the prices are around the same values. Service quality is what it differentiates Tmart from its rivals.
The shipping rates provided by Tmart depend on the shipping method, total weight, the product's location and on the destination. Customers can see their shipping charges at checkout. Free worldwide shipping is guaranteed and it uses the cheapest shipping service. When using the free shipping service the items are normally shipped from Hong Kong. The following shipping services are available:
2. Express shipping methods
Tmart accepts the following payment methods: Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, American Express and Discover. Clients from countries that are not yet accepted by PayPal can pay directly using their credit or debit cards. The truth is that many competitors don't offer this possibility and Tmart clearly wins many customers from those countries.
If the items arrive damaged, they can be returned for free and a refund will be issued after their arrival back at Tmart. Furthermore, if a client wants to exchange some item he/she will pay for the return fees and for the reshipping. Refunds are usually processed in 1-2 business days. They offer a 90-day money back guarantee and free repair under a 180-day warranty.
