One of the hardest charging, and most popular vixens in hardcore from the mid 90s right up to her retirement in 2004, Julie Rage earned a reputation with fans and filmmakers alike as one of the hottest pieces of ass in the industry. She was a sexual dynamo that never gave less than 110% in a scene. And what a number of scenes she did, with nearly 200 features to her credit, though mostly in supporting roles, Julie was always the focal point whenever she appeared in front of the camera.
She was also one of the greatest 'Anal Queens' to ever enter the porn biz, as her greatest and hottest scenes revolved around her getting porked in the fart funnel. She was also a fiery performer in straight, lez and fetish scenes as well. When she was doing a scene she would get into it so much that she would literally ( and often ) drain her co-star of all energy.
Julie got into porn after a short strip career that she pursued upon leaving the military. She was discovered on stage and offered a chance to do hardcore. Julie wasted no time in jumping at the opportunity and soon found herself signed to Vivid after doing a number of features for various other companies. Vivid was the first to push Julie to the lead roles she would start to get, as she began adorning box covers, and building her legion of die-hard fans.
was a perfect fit for sex-vids as she was built to last. A
tiny frame that housed augmented, perfect tits, a prime ass, bleached
hair, a cute face and the aforementioned sexual verve. She eventually
married director
Greg Steel and she settled into the family life having 2 kids with
Steel, and
retired from the jizz biz.

What Kind of Square Am I?Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
Originally I was a square of heavenly peace; the largest in the world.
But now I am a square of revolution.
Surrounding me is a deep history of politics, people and death.
The world knows me well, but many reject my truth.
Young martyrs fought for the right to speak, but they were denied this freedom.
Only death and imprisonment was their answer.
What am I?
AnswerTiananmen Square, Beijing, China.
Tiananmen Square, the largest city square in the world, is surrounded by the Museum of Chinese History, the Great Hall of the People, the Gate Tower, & Chairman Mao's Mausoleum. The Mausoleum is where Chairman Mao's body lays in state. It was built in 1977, a year after Mao died. In the center of Tiananmen Square is the Monument to the People's Heroes, erected in 1958 to commemorate patriots who became martyrs to the Communist Revolution. Ironically, it became the focal point of martyrs to the democratic student movement in 1989.

(found on pinterest, via Brave Girls club)
I had another frustrating doctor's appt today. When I left the office, I sat in my car crying and emailed my life support team with the subject line "I give up." I don't want to be that person. I don't want to give up. I want to be a warrior. I want to show up, ready to battle. I just don't think that I can manage that today. So, for the moment, I will just say this...
Dear new Dr's office:
I understand that I am "fairly mobile" despite being in pain. I am aware that I can still touch my toes (but for reference? when not in pain, I can fold in half with my forearms clasped & hanging an inch above the floor...thank you yoga). I understand that many other people come in hunched over, unable to sit in a chair. That does not lessen my pain. I would like you to take your "pain scale" and shove it...b/c my 7 might be someone else's 10.
I am tired of repeating the story again & again & again. Hip pain during/after a half marathon. Self-treated with yoga & exercise & advil. Diagnosed with possible labral tear. MRI did not indicate labral tear. Sudden onset back pain 4 weeks ago. MRI shows bulging disc. Now listen carefully - UNABLE TO SLEEP DUE TO PAIN.
Please excuse me while I cry as you tell me that the first appt that you have available for the injection (that holds the promise of pain relief) is when I'm traveling. Please understand that I am not trying to be difficult. It's just that I haven't had a full night's sleep in more than a month, and yes, I get that new mommies do that all the time...but I am not a new mommy, and I need to sleep. I have no patience, no filter b/c my brain has not had the opportunity to rest & recharge itself.
Please also understand that I "get" pain managment. I know the drill. Been there, done that. You'll notice in my chart that I survived a horrific car accident that resulted in a crazy long recovery that involved it's own fair share of pain. I am not looking to score a scrip for pain meds. I can't take the good stuff anyway - see that red alert in my chart? That's a drug allergy. And the stuff that I CAN take? I'm well aware of the potential side effects, and have personal knowlege of the extremes of said side effects (two words: bowel impaction). Trust me, I'm not in it for the narcotics.
Please know that I sit in meditation every day, trying my best to breath & focus on healing. I slowly work my way into downward dog and then collapse into child's pose b/c it just hurts too much. I try to calm my growing stress about not going to the gym, knowing that my health insurance premiums are tied to activity.
At the end of the day? Please know that I am trying to be brave & keep going.

COMPARISON REVIEW OF GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS & CARNIVAL PRIDE: Grandeur of the Seas Cruise Review by gingerma
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Baltimore
Having mainly cruised on ROYAL CARIBBEAN, we were on the GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS, 1/11/14, for a 10 night cruise, out of Baltimore, to the Western Caribbean. Having recently become Diamond Members, we looked forward to the amenities of that category, mainly the Diamond Lounge. When this cruise was over, we received an e-mail, from a discount travel agency, advertising a discount, last minute rate, on the Carnival PRIDE. Having never cruised on Carnival, & actually vowing that I never would unless it was free (rate was pretty close to that), looked further into it & booked it, departing Baltimore, 2/23/14, for 7 nights to Port Canaveral & the Bahamas. Really had no desire to get off the ship, as we've gone to those ports so many times, felt there really wasn't anything new to see.
GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS: We arrived at the port, 1/11/14, at 10:15 a.m., & were More onboard by 10:30. You first filled out the medical questionnaire as to whether or not you'd been recently sick or been around someone that had. Per usual, RCI had water, coffee, tea, cookies, & donuts, in the waiting area, for guests while waiting to board. Having recently had both knees totally replaced, walking up the 5 ramps is very difficult, if not impossible, for me, at this time. NO problem, as RCI allows handicapped or wheelchair passengers to go onboard, from ground level. We proceeded to the Windjammer for the Buffet. Our rooms were ready at 1 p.m. We went to the Windjammer, for the buffet. Our luggage was delivered to our stateroom in a timely manner. When it was time for the Muster Drill, due to my not being able to stand, for long periods of time, I was directed to sit in an area with others, that had similar handicaps. A crew member was present, taking down everyone's room #, to make sure all rooms were accounted for, as the drill is mandatory. 4 p.m., promptly, the ship left port.
CARNIVAL PRIDE: Several days before boarding, we received an e-mail telling us boarding would not take place until 2 p.m. - 4 p.m., sailing at 5 p.m. The day before boarding, we received an e-mail telling us of the delays, due to traffic, in New Orleans, that would affect our CARNIVAL SUNSHINE cruise. This was immediately retracted, once they realized we weren't going to be on the SUNSHINE! We arrived at the port at 10:30, thinking maybe we'd board before 2 p.m. Asked about boarding on the ground level, due to recent knee replacements & I was told, "all boarding is done with the ramps, that they'd have a wheelchair for me & someone from the ships staff would push it." We were seated in an area that appeared we'd be one of the first to get on the ship. The area where they'd normally have drinks & cookies, etc., was covered over. There were water fountains, in the back of the room. There was no medical questionnaire, but at the desk when you checked in, they asked, "in the last 48 hrs. have you had vomiting or diarrhea?" In all honesty, I think most would say, "no" even if they had, for fear they wouldn't get on the ship. Carnival has a program, where you can pay $50. Additional to board 2 hours before others. NOBODY boarded before 2 p.m. They had the priority boarding which, I guess, included those that paid additional, then wheelchair passengers. I felt very uncomfortable, having someone push me in a wheelchair. She was a rather petite person, & I'm NOT! She had NO idea how to push a wheelchair & when we arrived at the area where she would have to push it up the ramp, she took 1 look at the ramp & said, "oh no, I'm not going to do that" & walked away, leaving me sitting in the wheelchair. My husband called to the security guard who came over & was RUDE, saying there was nothing he could do, that it was the only way to get on the ship. We mentioned that RCI boards people with handicaps, on the ground level. He explained Carnival didn't do that. The girl returned with another wheelchair passenger being pushed by a male & they switched places. He had no problem getting me to the inside of the ship. We were boarded by 2:30 p.m. We immediately went to the MDR (main dinning room) to speak to the maitre'd, requesting being switched to Your Time dining, instead of late, which we'd been assigned, due to the late booking of the cruise. He could make no promise, but said he'd put a note in our room mailbox, just outside our room, by 5 p.m. We found our room, then went to the Mermaid Grill, for the buffet. When we returned, we were pleased to find the luggage was already delivered to our room. It was announced that the mandatory Muster Drill would take place at 4:20 p.m. When we went, I explained my problem & was instructed to sit in an area, with others, having the same problems. 4:20 came & went, no drill had started. A crew member arrived to the area, we were sitting, & about 4:45, they had the Muster Drill. No one recorded any names or room #'s, which led me to think they really didn't know if everyone was in attendance. The ship was due to leave port, at 5 p.m.
We did receive confirmation of the Your Time Dining, so at 5:45 p.m., we went to the MDR for dinner. At 6:15 p.m., the ship left port.
GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS: Our room was smaller than expected, 146 sq. ft. We'd paid extra for a "large inside room". With the beds put together, forming a King bed, there was very little room, on both sides. We had to have our room Steward separate the beds, creating a larger center area, for getting in/out of the bed. The beds were so close to the floor, that to put the empty suitcases under the beds, we had to actually lift the beds. It was extremely difficult for me to get out of the bed. There was, however, ample closet & storage areas. The bathroom was small, but not too small. The shower was extremely small, with the shower curtain sticking to you, when in it. Our room service was exceptional.
CARNIVAL PRIDE: We were pleasantly surprised to find our room was larger than expected, 185 sq. ft. The beds were together, forming a King bed. The beds were high enough off the floor that we were able to put the empty suitcases under the beds with no difficulty. There was ample closet & storage areas. The bathroom was small, but not too small. The shower was larger than expected & there was ample room to move around, without the shower curtain sticking to you. Our room service was exceptional. Foil wrapped chocolates were on our bed, for us, every night, which I thought had been discontinued, on all the cruise ships.
GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS: We had My Time Dining, as early as we could get it. Service was EXCELLENT.
CARNIVAL PRIDE: We had Your Time Dining, as early as we could get it. Service was good, but usually VERY SLOW.
GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS: We ate breakfast & lunch, & a couple of dinners, here. Was usually crowded, sometimes difficult to find a table. Service was EXCELLENT. Always asking if you needed anything, offering to carry your tray, etc. Constantly removing dirty dishes.
CARNIVAL PRIDE: We ate all breakfasts & lunch here, with the exception of 1 breakfast & also had 1 dinner here. Always ample tables, never crowded. Service was FAIR. Dirty dishes sitting on tables not being used. Frequently if you put a plate of food down, went to get something else, when you returned, it was GONE!
GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS: Selection was good, in both the MDR & Buffet, nothing to write home about. Coffee is quite strong.
CARNIVAL PRIDE: AWESOME! Fantastic selection, in the Buffet areas. Varied from day to day, Italian, Caribbean, Asian, Salad, Grill, UNBELIVEABLE PIZZA! Honestly, the BEST pizza I've ever had, including restaurants, on land! Orange juice actually had pulp in it, wasn't watered down. Every morning, they had EGGS BENEDICT, some days with Canadian Bacon, others with Salmon. Every other day, had the BEST pan of STICKY BUNS you ever ate! Coffee was just right!
GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS: Their production shows were O.K., but seemed that the singers & dancers weren't as good as previous cruises on RCI ships. GREAT pool band (for once, didn't hear "I Shot The Sheriff" or "Yellow Bird"!) Other entertainment, throughout the ship was very good. Trivia seemed to be the same old questions/answers as previous cruises (some of the answers weren't even correct!)
CARNIVAL PRIDE: FANTASTIC production shows! EXCELLENT singers & dancers. Really enjoyed the COMEDY CLUB, in Butterflies. Trivia was so so. They had the BEST Cruise Director, that we've ever encountered, on any ship! Thank you, KIRK for such a job well done!
GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS: Considering this ship had just been in dry dock, being refurbished, I was totally amazed at how many things were in need of repair. Our first day, onboard, there was a leak, in the ceiling in the Windjammer, a bucket being put under it, which of course, people walked right into, because they don't look where they're going! It lacked in cleanliness which is far from what I've been accustomed to, with RCI! In other areas, there were leaks, with buckets under them, becoming full & overflowing, onto the decks. The large screen, out at the pool is certainly nice. Frequently showed movies, in the theater. The theater (where the production shows are) was very comfortable. The lounge areas, throughout the ship were nice. The aerial, in the CENTRUM were INCREDIBLE! Very well done. Able to view them, from various floors, throughout the CENTRUM areas. Throughout the 10 night cruise, there were 2 elevators that NEVER worked properly. RCI goes out of their way, to make you feel welcome on the ship, with the WELCOME ABOARD party, where appetizers & drinks are given.
CARNIVAL PRIDE: First impression: VERY NICE! Loved the Renaissance art, throughout the ship. Crew visibly cleaning, throughout the ship. Frequent movies being shown in BUTTERFLIES LOUNGE (usually very cold). The TAJ MAHAL (where the production shows are) seats were very uncomfortable, as there was very little leg room. In walking throughout the ship, going through lounges, frequently saw dirty bar glasses, sitting on tables. When walking back, noticed same glasses, still sitting. The P.A. system, throughout the entire ship was TERRIBLE! Very distorted sound. Frequently when a particular thing (D.J., for example) was scheduled at a certain area, either they never showed up, or showed up late. NO band at the pool, usually had a D.J., or nothing. Carnival also had a WELCOME ABOARD party, no appetizers, but a $1. discount on any drinks.
Please understand, all of the above is simply my opinion. I tried to be both HONEST & OBJECTIVE. I've most frequently sailed on RCI & intend to continue, having cruises already booked. This was our first cruise, on Carnival & we've already booked another, on the Pride. Less

OVER 220 seven to 11-year-old girls from primary schools across the Stroud district took part in the annual Len Hutton Millennium Trophy finals on Wednesday, March 2014 at Inside Football in Brimscombe.
Organised by Stroud District Council, 22 schools participated in the tournament with 63 games taking place during the afternoon.
The winners from each group Minchinhampton, Bussage, Bluecoat and Stroud Valley competed against each other in the semi finals.
The final was contested by Stroud Valley and Bussage with some great play by both teams, with Bussage finally coming out on top with a 3-0 win by the final whistle.
Sports development officer Hannah Drew said the level of football the girls played was beyond expectation with some fantastic goals and skills demonstrated.
"There are definitely some stars of the future in the district," she said.
"It was fantastic to see so many girls taking part in football in one place."
The trophy was supported by students from South Gloucestershire & Stroud College, who are studying a BTEC level 3 extended diploma in sport who acted as referees.
The trophy was also attended by Gloucestershire FA's Women and Girls Football Development as well as two players from Bristol Academy who presented the students with their medals and certificates.

Champions League: Barcelona coach Tata Martino believes speed will be key to beating Celtic
Barcelona coach Tata Martino believes speed will be key to beating Celtic on Wednesday night.
Last Updated: 11/12/13 2:37pm
While the Hoops are guaranteed to finish bottom of Group H, the Catalan side need a point to finish top of the section after losing at Ajax in their last European game.
Barca have 10 points from five games with AC Milan second on eight points ahead of their game against Ajax, who are one point further back.
Martino, quoted on the club's official website, told a media conference: "This is an important game in all aspects - we have to finish top, we have to win and put in a good performance. For us, every game is tough and each one has consequences."
Barca scraped through 2-1 against Neil Lennon's side in their group game at the Nou Camp last year thanks to a last-gasp Jordi Alba goal.
And they were held for 75 minutes at Celtic Park earlier this season before Cesc Fabregas headed the only goal against a home side who had been reduced to 10 men following Scott Brown's kick at Neymar.
Martino said: "We have to be accurate and fast in our build up and in moving the ball around. We'll be playing in a 30-yard strip of pitch and we need to keep up the pressing too to stop Celtic hitting us on the break."
Midfielder Sergio Busquets warned the Scottish champions that Barca have "learnt our lesson from last year".
"They have their style of playing, which is very different from ours," he said.
"The sooner we get a goal, the better, because they can close down at the back and make it hard for us."
Busquets responded to questions about Barca's recent indifferent form, which has allowed Atletico Madrid to draw level with them at the top of La Liga and saw them lose to Ajax in their previous Champions League game.
He said: "The important thing for us is to win, but sometimes that isn't possible.
"Confidence is relative. We weren't good in Amsterdam, but defeats are a part of football and we have to show a reaction.
"We're not invincible and it's only normal to lose games during the season."
While Lionel Messi, Victor Valdes and Dani Alves are still sidelined, Xavi and Andres Iniesta will both be fit to face Celtic following injury as will Cristian Tello, although the Catalan club will be without the suspended Fabregas.
Martino said it would be "logical" for Neymar to start up front in the absence of Messi and Fabregas.

The Constitutional Court (Concourt) ruled that certain sections of the SAPS Act that created the Hawks were unconstitutional because they offended the obligation to create an independent anti-corruption agency. It found two main problems with the Hawks: the lack of employment security for employees of the Hawks and the imposition of oversight by a ministerial committee (MC).
Due to these problems, the Concourt concluded that the Hawks lacked the functional independence the constitution requires. In response to these findings, Parliament drafted the SA Police Bill, which seeks to bring the SAPS Act in line with the constitution. In my view the bill addresses the constitutional requirements raised by the CC.
Firstly, the bill establishes the Hawks as a directorate within the SAPS. It is important to note that the constitution does not create any obligations on Parliament on where to locate the Hawks. Instead, it leaves this decision to the political branches to make.
The Concourt also emphasised this and said what was important was not whether the Hawks were placed within the National Prosecution Authority or the SAPS, but whether they had sufficient attributes of independence to fulfil their functions. The Concourt was correct in its observation. To compel the location of the Hawks would violate separation of powers because such a decision is entrusted to the political branches.
Moreover, such a decision involves no judicially enforceable rights. On this matter, the Concourt is fundamentally underequipped to make a decision or formulate national policies on a matter that is not legal in nature.
Furthermore, in addressing the personnel matters, the bill provides that the head and his or her deputy shall each be appointed for a non-renewable fixed term of no more than seven years. This provision addresses the concerns raised by the court that a renewable term of office, in contrast to a non-renewable term, heightens the risk that the office bearer may be vulnerable to political pressures. The bill also introduces statutory salaries for employees of the Hawks.
Regarding the removal of the head of the Hawks, the bill provides that the head will be removable by the minister of police only on grounds of misconduct; continued ill health or incapacity; or if he or she is no longer a fit and proper person to hold office.
The main constitutional defect identified by the Concourt was that the grounds for removal under the SAPS Act, which applied to the Hawks, were too broad. These grounds for removal are identical to the ones applicable to the head of the NPA and judges.
To address the defect surrounding the role played by the ministerial committee, over the operations of the Hawks, the bill provides that the Hawks will be guided by the policy guidelines issued by the minister and approved by Parliament.
Previously, the policy guidelines were issued by a ministerial committee made up of at least six ministers. The Concourt found that the power of the committee to issue policy guidelines for the Hawks created a plain risk of executive and political influence on the Hawks. The committee shall no longer oversee the functioning of the Hawks.
In the light of these changes, it is my view that the bill will pass constitutional muster. The replacement of the ministerial council with the minister is an important feature in the legal framework. In fact, it is necessary in terms of section 206(1) read with sections 207(2) and 208 of the constitution for the legislature to include this oversight role.
Section 206(1) provides that a member of the cabinet must be responsible for policing and must determine national policing policy after consulting with provincial governments. Through these provisions, the framers of the constitution contemplated the need for the executive branch through the minister to play a role in all matters dealing with policing in the republic.
It is my view that the replacement of the ministerial committee with the minister is consistent with the constitution.
The Concourt acknowledged this and said the executive played the ultimate oversight role. It goes on to say that in a modern state, it would be impossible to insulate the Hawks from the political accountability as this would be averse to our constitutional structure.
According to the Concourt, what is required is not insulation from political accountability, but insulation only from a degree of management by political actors, namely the ministerial committee, that threaten the independent functioning of the Hawks.
The fact that the bill does not give absolute independence to the Hawks is not problematic because such independence is not required by the constitution nor is it demanded by the Concourt.
Moreover, I believe it would be an offence to the separation of powers principle to insulate the Hawks from executive control as it would be equivalent to creating a fourth branch of government.
It is important to point out that section 85(1) of the constitution says that "the executive authority of the Republic is vested in the President". It is a well established principle of constitutional law that crime investigations and prosecutions are purely executive functions (Olson v Morrison, 1988).
It is not for Parliament or the judiciary to determine how much of the purely executive powers of government must be within the full control of the president. The constitution prescribes that they all are.
The executive's constitutionally assigned duties include complete control over investigation and prosecution of violations of the law.
In Western Cape (1995), the Concourt ruled that the Local Government Transition Act, which gave the president power to amend that act by proclamation, was unconstitutional because it violated separation of powers.
The majority reasoned that that act was problematic because Parliament gave complete power to the executive without sufficient control of its express powers to make laws for the republic.
Despite differences in reasoning, it is clear that the Concourt was unanimous in its conclusion that the degree to which Parliament continues to exercise exclusive control over the lawmaking powers was crucial to invalidating that act on separation of powers grounds.
Thus, by way of analogy, if Parliament deprived the executive of some of its functions on crime investigations, by taking away those functions and giving them to an absolutely independent body, this would violate separation of powers and section 85(1) read together with sections 206(1), 208 and 207(2).
From this standpoint, it is significant that the bill vests sufficient oversight in the executive branch generally, and minister specifically.
There is a benefit for locating the Hawks within the SAPS, which is that it creates opportunities for developing a coherent crime investigations scheme, where duplication, inconsistencies and turf wars can be avoided. The single crime-fighting strategy is also on par with the international trend.
Hence, as a matter of principle, the bill does meet the Concourt standard.
The remaining challenge is to the good men and women in the government to enhance the institutional capacity of the Hawks by recruiting competent and untainted individuals who will successfully implement the police reforms to achieve a corruption-free South Africa.

Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips opens NY Film Festival
Captain Phillips, the true story of a 2009 hijacking, has kicked off the New York Film Festival. Tom Brook meets the film's star, Tom Hanks and profiles the Big Apple's two week feast of world cinema.
The New York Film Festival is one of the oldest in America, established in 1963 by the Film Society of Lincoln Center to bring the best of world cinema to the city. Since then, films from influential auteur directors already seen at other international film festivals have defined the New York line-up.
But in recent times the festival has expanded its remit and this year sees more than 35 features on its main slate – the most ever. It is also hosting three world premieres of movies with big Hollywood names: Captain Phillips starring Tom Hanks, Ben Stiller's The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Spike Jonze's Her, which features Joaquin Phoenix.
British director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93) got the festival off to a strong start on Friday night with his latest picture, Captain Phillips. The film tells the real-life story of Richard Phillips, who was taken hostage by Somali pirates in 2009.
Tom Brook speaks to Tom Hanks, who plays the title role, and to the film's director.

A student drew on the life of a butterfly when she came up with a winning design for a new college logo.
Luiza Madjarov won Barnet and Southgate College's competition to create a new symbol, beating five other finalists in an online vote.
The 20-year-old, who is in her second year of a foundation degree in graphic and multimedia design, said: "My theme was based around the emergence of a butterfly; you come to college as a caterpillar and college is your cocoon while you learn. After your course you emerge as a butterfly.
"One of the most exciting things has been working with the external design agency on bringing my ideas to life, and learning how they work and seeing how the whole design process works.
"It's amazing that my actual design is now in use and it's so exciting to see it in print today."

Australian driver Mark Webber is shrugging aside all speculation about his future with champions Red Bull, saying he is "very relaxed" about the situation.
The 34-year-old winner of last year's British Grand Prix chose to make it clear on the eve of this year's contest that he has no concerns about his future in the sport, despite prolonged speculation linking several other drivers to his current seat.
"I have a very good understanding of what's going on, and I'm very relaxed," said Webber on Thursday.
"There's a lot of talk but, tomorrow, there will be a new story. That's how it is in F1.
"I feel as relaxed as I did at the same time last year when I did have a contract, so I'm sleeping very well."
He added he also feels confident about his form, despite a slow start to the season. He is joint second in the drivers' title race with Jenson Button of McLaren, 77 points adrift of defending champion and Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel.
"Monaco was a bit of a black sheep but, in Barcelona, I was pretty competitive and then, in Canada and also Valencia, I was very competitive," said Webber.
"When I've had a smooth run and had no technical issues, I've been going a lot better. There's no reason I can't keep that going and I will do, I'm sure.
"As to the new rules, we won't fully understand until Friday's sessions. There's going to be subtleties in driver style which could go either way - we know how sensitive the cars are sometimes to driver preference.
"I'm getting pretty quick with what we had and, if we have to change, I still think I can do a good job so I'm relaxed either way."
Webber insists he has lost none of his appetite to beat Vettel and said he is looking forward to disrupting the harmony he believes exists in the team as a result of the German's current superiority.
"Harmony is perfect when results are like this. But I'm not tired of a scrap at all. It's the same for all of us - you want to do well and get the most out of yourself. We've got some more improving to do and then we can do better.
"I'm not the only guy fighting Sebastian, though. He's had a great run, but we've got a lot of races to go and a lot of good opportunities.
"What's gone before is past - a lot of points for him but not too bad for me either - but I would love to start winning and I'm not the only one."
The Silverstone race marks the debut of fellow-Australian Daniel Ricciardo for the Hispania team.
Webber, who has worked his way up to the top, is giving the newcomer some advice.
"I know how unique and special it is to compete in your first grand prix, for any driver. He fully deserves to be here and it's the early apprenticeship," he said.
"Even if he went for glory, you wouldn't see that he did, so my advice is just to acclimatise to how an F1 weekend goes.
"There's a lot of fine print that a driver has to get his head round - it's not just about driving a car."

A lot has been made of the Federal Reserve's close links with Ivy League academics, some of whom also consult for private banks. See, for instance, this paper by Gerald Epstein and Jessica Carrick-Hagenbarth, which looks at the whether there is a relationship between economists' positions on financial regulation and who they're working for.
No-one, however, has gone as far as to claim that the universities may be considered part of the Fed itself. Read more

CLEARWATER — Over the objections of some environmentalists and residents, Pinellas County commissioners on Tuesday designated part of Brooker Creek Preserve for water treatment plants, storage tanks and pipelines.
The 8,000-acre preserve in northeast Pinellas is a key location for wildlife and a watershed in Tampa Bay. Besides protecting critters, the county began buying land more than 25 years ago to protect the drinking water.
Now part of the preserve eventually could house utility facilities, offices and tall storage tanks — riling some environmentalists and residents. A lawsuit to stop development remains pending.
The board voted 6-1 for the plan, which is set up to help cover future demand for drinking water. Commissioner Neil Brickfield, who has maintained the preserve should stay a preserve, voted no.
"I understand that there are future uses, but I'd like you to go about this far more conservatively — not quite so liberal as the plan that's been presented," said East Lake resident Barbara Walker.
The commission also broke with the Pinellas Planning Council, an advisory agency made up of local governments within the county to review development. The council objected to the plan, saying there were too few specifics to justify allowing more intense development on hundreds of acres.
The strife prompted Commissioner Susan Latvala to apologize Tuesday to council executive director Dave Healey for how some of her comments "were portrayed" in the Times.
Asked last month whether the council's opposition would affect the commission vote, Latvala laughed and said, "Not at all."
The council last month endorsed allowing wells, pumps and water piping on 2,600 acres in the preserve. But the advisory board objected to okaying larger water treatment plants, storage tanks, offices and parking lots, even a reservoir, on 893 acres.
"That's not long-range planning, that's not future land-use planning," Healey said. "That's drawing a line around an area and saying someday we may need some of it for some thing — we don't know."
The county has pledged to use only 260 acres of the 893 for such facilities. It wants the freedom to decide the exact sites and projects later.
"To not have all that level of detail now, I'm okay with," Commissioner Nancy Bostock said. "All of those details would be required when we have an identified need, when we're actually building."
Friends of Brooker Creek accepted the plan, though begrudgingly because leaders said there was little chance of Pinellas keeping the land purely a preserve. At least the county "backed away" from using even more acres, said Allyn Childress, who chairs the friends.
But critics worry more than 260 acres could be built on because of Tuesday's decision.
County officials say the utility projects are justified on the preservation land because water fees were used decades ago to buy the acreage.
"It's been very disconcerting to the public to think that something was one thing," Latvala said, "when we thought it was something different."

PharmaSmart International has signed a deal with Sav-Mor/Sav-On Pharmacies to supply its kiosks in the Michigan-based retail pharmacy network's stores, PharmaSmart said Friday.
Health kiosk maker PharmaSmart International and Canadian retail pharmacy chain Rexall will combine PharmaSmart's biometric screening technology with Rexall's dispensing system, under a new partnership announced Monday.
A system for confidentially storing patients' biometric data on a card made by PharmaSmart International has been added to several national drug databases, which the company said would aid support for hypertension patients among healthcare providers, health plans and pharmacists.
PharmaSmart International's blood-pressure screening program is in use in all the stores of a regional retail pharmacy chain in the Northeast.
The Food and Drug Administration over the past year has been exploring ways to further increase the value of the over-the-counter medicine space through the utilization of technology to support new Rx-to-OTC switches.
PharmaSmart International's comprehensive blood pressure program has recently been validated in two new, independent scientific studies, the company announced today. The company also announced a partnership with Rx-30 Pharmacy System that offers an automated clinical integration of validated PharmaSmart biometrics within the patient record.
Bartell Drugs has introduced PharmaSmart blood pressure testing kiosks at all 58 of its stores, the regional retail pharmacy chain said Monday.
PharmaSmart International and Microlife will offer an integrated assessment of cardiovascular health risk factors to healthcare providers under a new partnership between the companies.
PharmaSmart International has promoted Ashton Maaraba to the newly created position of COO, the blood-pressure monitor manufacturer said.

I was fooled and surprised and I enjoyed both.
Thank you for sharing your talent.
| Brukaoru chapter 1 . 8/10/2009
Oh nice - I didn't realize it was Ayame till the end, but I think that's a cool twist! Good work!
| Warg chapter 1 . 8/7/2006
Wow.. I'd guessed as much from the title.. but never in the text would it occur to me that it was Ayame and not Kaoru being referenced in the lines. Except well.. umm nevermind.
Amazing work here, loved the tone, soft and lifting and falling.. mingled with such strong lines. Touching work on Kenshin's pov.
Loved the ending, GREAT read
| omasuoniwabanshi chapter 1 . 6/15/2005
Good job! I didn't catch on to the fact that Kenshin was talking about Ayame until the very end. I should have what with the hint at the beginning of 'adventures' which is something a child would revel in. This was really sweet and very well written. I loved the analogy of washing things as a way of trying to wash clean one's soul. Great story!

LOL - I started wondering about the time 'Kaoru' was chasing Yahiko while laughing. It made more sense when I realized it was Ayame - I was pondering about the iris/Ayame thing.
Anyway -nods- Very beautiful and poignant once again. How do you pull out these one-shots? ;_; I want to do that too!
| Snowfall chapter 1 . 1/29/2004
Another piece of masterwork. And don't you think Im flattering, since I don't even know you.
Ayame really means iris? I borrowed a Japanese dictionary from the library few weeks ago, just 'cause I wanted to try and translate some of the character names in Rurouni Kenshin. Must check that one, too.
I like your writing style, the way you describe people and feelings. I myself prefer the describing style, too, so I appreciate it in others as well.
| Kitsune-Onna19 chapter 1 . 1/22/2004
i remember this one from tfme! i thought it was kaoru at first, but then you said it was ayame. this is good!
| TanukiGirl22 chapter 1 . 1/2/2004
i read this on TFME too. i have it saved on my computer, i loved how you suprised me at the end when i found out it was ayame and not kaoru that he was thinking about. keep writing!
| Shimizu Hitomi chapter 1 . 6/5/2003
Irises are my favorite flowers. _ Awesome fic. I also like your little series, Meiji teachings.
| hakubaikou chapter 1 . 3/19/2003
Oh wow, this really was an original idea. I have to admit I was caught by surprise at the end. Had to go back and re-read it, and it made perfect sense. Heh! That was cool.
| Autumn Harvest chapter 1 . 1/30/2003
First off, I'd really like to say that this is one of *the* most original twists I have read in a long time... and *ever*, for that matter!
Everything was executed in a flawless fashion, where one was insured a surprise at the end... but let me say, that by letting Kaoru's name slip, it sort of hinted at who Kenshin was thinking of...
Very interesting, what you've done with this fic - but I won't say more, for fear of ruining the fic for others _~
Nicely done - please do come out with more _
| Ranma1517730129 chapter 1 . 1/30/2003
Hiya, I am going to say right here and now that I like this...So don't get up a tree too fast when I say that you really really really NEED to show what the difference between Eros and Agape love is. Eros- Romantic, sensual love between consenting individuals. Agape- Love that you would show between friends, family, caretakers. This feels too Sensual. It kind of goes a little wonky, and makes you think he's having (Oh, let's just say it) sexual thoughts, maybe about Kaoru, or somebody. I'm not going to make assumptions, because some people are vehomently against the K and K pairing. And I know from reading your last fic (excellent by the way) that you have a small liking for that character. But to make a long review short, I don't think it would be in character for Kenshin to have dirty thoughts about a 6 year old. Maybe this could use some tweaking? It needs toning down. Good luck.

This is really cute! I sometimes wonder what he thinks of the girls...

Davis: Anything?
Bobby: They left all their gear.
Kim: This is too strange.
Sully: They gotta be around here somewhere, unless somebody picked them up.
Bobby: Then why the hell wouldn't they radio in their location?
Sully: Probably didn't know that they were in trouble until it was too late.
Kim: We get waved down all the time. I just hope they're warm, wherever they are.
(Taylor is hanging on the wall from her turnout gear)
Bobby: I've been thinkin' about what you asked me.
Taylor: Bobby, you're not gonna let me down, are 'ya?
Bobby: No, I'm not. Now, I hope you're not too disappointed about this....
Taylor: Look, could you just get me off the friggin' hook?
Bobby: But, Alex, the answer to your propsition is yes.
Taylor: What?
Bobby: Yeah... and it wouldn't be my first time. I've done it before.
Taylor: You have?!
Bobby (tries to keep a straight face, but starts to laugh): That was sweet!
Taylor: You know?
Bobby (laughing): Yeah.
Kim (laughing): That was great. You get major points for orginality, Alex, you gotta give her that.
Bobby: Do I?
Kim: Yeah, some of us enjoyed it. (walks off)
Taylor: Bobby...
Bobby: Alex, you must have an extremely high opinion of yourself, really. I mean, to go through all that trouble to spare my feelings because I must be so completely in love you, just a word of advice, next time, next-- I don't know, guy just have a shread of self-respect. If a guy asks you over for dinner, just say no.
Carlos (clapping to make the rats run): There's like 70 million rats in this city. We're outnumbered 8 to 1.
Bosco: Oh, yeah? Lemme know if they start clappin' back.
Carlos: You aren't afraid of rats?
Bosco: No, not as long as they run when the light goes on.
Taylor: Listen, Bobby, about tomorrow night, I just wanna make sure we're at the same place.
Bobby: My place. Dinner.
Taylor: Sex. I mean, you're figuring that we're up to that point, right? Wonderin' why it hasn't happened already? I just want it to be really...
Bobby: Alex, it's gonna be great.
Taylor: You know, there's a little first time tradition that I have.
Bobby: I'm listening.
Taylor: Let's make it a threesome. You don't have to answer now...
Bobby: Do I know her?
Taylor: I like it with two guys.
Bobby: Wh-wh-who? Who?
Taylor: Jimmy. Just think about it. (walks away, sees Jimmy walkin' up) Jimmy, what are you doin'?
Jimmy: I'm gonna go pick up the pies. (looks at Bobby) Aw, you told him. Don't worry, he'll get over it. He'll be fine.
Carlos: You really think that they're gonna come back?
Bosco (holds up a brick of herion): Carlos, this is a lotta money. One of these is worth like 130 grand.
Carlos: Are you serious?
Bosco: Hey, maybe we should hide a couple... Come back in a month. What do you think, Doc, huh? You due hazard pay?
Doc: I'd rather be poor.
Bosco: If they come up a few short, what are they gonna do, huh? File a theft report? this right here, wipes out all my debt. Faith, Fred wants that SUV, right? Down payment on a house out on the island, huh?
Carlos: Med school isn't cheap, it'd be nice not to have to wait around for one of those grant checks.
Faith (to Bosco): You know, if they come back, they're gonna come back shootin', right?
Bosco: I know. You missed the birthday party. She'll understand. I'm gonna tell her how much you wanted to be there.
Sully: How come I never meet any of your girlfriends?
Davis: 'Cause mine never last this long, so...
Sully: I'll mention it to her.
Davis: We could double date.
Sully: I said I'd mention it to her.
Davis: I just wanna meet her.
Sully: What for?
Davis: 'Cause she's your girlfriend. What, you ashamed of me or somethin'? I think that's what it is.
Sully: I'll ask her.
Carlos: Dispatch will be looking for us. You said that we were checking an unknown?
Doc: No, I said you call it in! There's our problem.
Faith: Bosco, that lady knows that we're done here.
Bosco: Yeah, I wouldn't count on her helpin' us right away.
Faith: What do you mean? Why not?
Bosco: Nothing. I don't know.
Faith: What do you mean? What'd you say to her?
Bosco: I didn't say anything to her, she's a lunatic!
Carlos: Guys! Come on, we need to get Doc outta here now.
Doc: I'm okay, I'm okay, it's not that bad.
Faith: We're on meal, Bosco. I hope you realize that.
Bosco (looking around): Will you help me? Will you help me?
Faith: Honestly, we're a coupla beat cops and they're a coupla paramedics, how long do you think it'll be before they actually realize that we're missing?
Bosco: Listen to me, we need a crowbar or something to get us the hell outta here.
Faith: Doc, I am so sorry.
Carlos: They were gone. You shot at the door! (Carlos helps Doc with his gunshot wound and stuff)
Faith: Can I help or anything?
Doc: You shot me!
Bosco: Hey, it was just a richochet--
Carlos: What? That makes it better?!
Faith: I said I was sorry!
Man: Am I dying?
Carlos: We're all dying, sir.
Bosco: Look, all I'm sayin' is that I wanna eat first. We can go after.
Faith: So, I'm supposed to miss my daughter's birthday because you're jonesing for Chinese chicken?
Bosco: Who said anything about missing it, alright? And it's not just any chicken. It's Empire Szechwan Green Jade chicken.
Faith: Oh, I'm sorry. Well, if it's Green Jade chicken, then she'll understand that.
Bosco: Why didn't you just take lost time?
Faith: Because Chritopher denied me. Now why would he do that?
Bosco: Why does everything have to be my fault?
Faith: Yeah, that's my question.
Bosco: So, we're done?
Doc: Yeah.
Bosco: Good, I got a date with a Chinese chicken.
Bosco: That you're boyfriend they're lookin' after, huh? You guys gonna start like a hobo family in your sunset years, huh? Oh, come you can tell me. You guys hot for each other? A little love in the mud? Hmm?
Homeless Lady: Aren't you clever with your jokes about street people. Maybe later you could regale me with wisecracks about the handicapped. Children are especially fun.
Bosco: Regale?
Drug Dealer: That guy's dead.
Yokas: Obviously. You're as sharp as a tack.
Faith: Carlos, there's like millions of dollars worth of heroin over here.
Carlos: The old guy's a heroin dealer?
Bosco: No, actually I'm guessing it was the guys with the guns.
Carlos: Oh, yeah, right, right. Why would they keep it down here?
Bosco: They strike you as geniuses?!
Faith: Bosco, you think that they're gonna be comin' back for that?
Bosco: No, no, not right away. They don't know that our radios don't work.
Faith: We gotta find a way outta here.
Christopher: Sullivan, Davis. You're on detail tomorrow.
Davis: Why? What's goin' on?
Christopher: Wu-Tang Clan's at the Apollo.
Sully: What about Boscorelli?
Christopher: What about him?
Sully: Well, I know that uh, he happens to be a very big fan of Wu-Tang Clan, and uh, I know how much it rings your bell to get under other people's skin, so I figured we shouldn't leave him out.
Christopher: We won't. In fact, I'm sending Bosco to 125th to keep 'em safe while they do a CD signing at the Megastore. I'll tell him you asked for one. (walks off)
Sully: Thanks, Sarge.
Davis: Bosco's gonna love that.
Kim: You think we're gonna get a call because you're looking at the speaker?
Bobby: Well, we've never gone this long without having a single call.
Kim: Now Bobby, stop staring.
(Christopher just used the bathroom)
Christopher: 5-5 David's stuck in calls again.
Sully: Yeah, well we're 5-5 Charlie.
Christopher: You're gonna show me where they lay down. (walks out)
Davis: No, they don't.
Sully (following him): Sarge...
Davis (following him): He didn't wash his hands.
Sully: It's probably just a radio problem, I mean, we had the same thing happen to us next week.
Christopher: Davis, you remember how I like to ride?
Davis: No unnecessary chatter.
Christopher: Good, go warm up the car.
Taylor: So what do you think I should do?
Jimmy: About Bobby?
Taylor: Yeah.
Jimmy: You didn't lead him on at all?
Taylor: No. (Jimmy gives her a look) Kinda. ... It's not workin' out. Bottom line is, I don't want things to be weird at work, so I gotta dump him without actually rejecting him. We're workin' a shift next week, and if he gets all hurt, it's just... I could tell him I'm gay.
Jimmy: You want it to be his idea.
Taylor: Yeah.
Jimmy: Alright, here's what I think you should do? You should tell Bobby the truth. I've always believed that honesty is the best policy. (they both start laughing)
Christopher: You don't think I know that you're draggin' your ass? You deliberatly slowed for the yellow.
Sully: We run lights and sirens for emergencies only. This, I believe, is a game of 'catch me if you can'.
Davis: It's weird not seeing them yet. Don't you guys think it's weird?
Christopher: Go through it or I'm gonna write you up.
Sully: For what?
Christopher: We've got two officers deciding when they work and when they don't. Now, you've taken us from one side of the 55th to the other, looking everywhere except where Bosco and Yokas actually are.
Davis: Alright, could I say somethin'?
Sully: I'd tell you where they are if I knew where they were.
Christopher: I'll sit here the whole shift, Sullivan. The longer it takes, the longer we spend together.
Davis: May I say something?
Christopher & Sully: What?!
Davis: It's been like, three hours since they went on lunch, so if Bosco's coopin' somewhere, I'm wonderin' how long Yokas is gonna go along with that. Seriously, Sul.
Sully (into radio): 5-5 Charlie. How do you show sector David?
Christopher: What are you doin'? I told you I didn't want them tipped off.
Sully: Oops. (dispatch tell thems where 5-5 David last was, they go there)
Doc: Faith?
Faith: Yeah?
Doc: What's it like having kids?
Faith: What's it like?
Doc: I always wanted to be a father.
Faith: Well, you still can.
Doc: I was just thinkin' about what my biggest regret would be. That's it, not havin' kids.
Faith: Well, you shouldn't think like that.
Doc: You have any regrets?
Faith: Shootin' at the door.
Doc: Besides that.
Faith: You know what? I don't think like that. Your life's your life.
Doc: Is there somethin' you could change, 'ya know?
Faith: The only things I regret is havin' to do with gettin' into this mess.
Doc: The rest of it you're good with?
Faith: Yeah.
Doc: Then you're lucky.
Faith (sighs): I think that chocolate wore off.
Doc: Well, we could always eat Bosco. (they laugh)
Davis: So don't call it in?
Christopher: No.
Sully: Looks bad, doesn't it? Losing cops?
Christopher: We'll find them.
Sully: Boy wonder doesn't want a 'failure to supervise' note in his jacket, so he's gonna cover his ass at their expense!
Davis: You think they're all right?
Sully: No, I don't.
(After shooting a potato off the roof and breaking the rear window of a police car with it)
Lombardo: That was a little off.
Lt. Johnson: Police just found Adam 55-3, Doc and Carlos are missing.
Bobby: What do you mean, missin'?
Lt. Johnson: Two officers, Yokas and Boscorelli are also MIA. Kim and Bobby go to the search location, the rest of you just hang tight. (takes the jacket off Taylor's head) And somebody, get Taylor off that damn wall!
Davis: So, what are the odds of a cup of coffee falling out of the garbage full and right side up?
Sully: Slim and none.
(after they get out from underground)
Doc: Who's driving?
Kim: I'll drive.
Carlos: Don't worry. I'll ride in the back with you.
Doc: Good, 'cause you're terrible.
Bosco: Is anybody else in the mood for some Chinese chicken when we get done?
Yokas: All right Bosco, enough with the chicken already.
Sully: Sergeant Christopher, the uh, Captain requests your presence front and center.
Christopher: Did he look mad?
Sully: Not until I finished talking with him, he didn't.
Taylor: Who's got dinner?
Bobby: Carlos.
Taylor: If I can't eat it, he's springin' for pizza.
Kim: Ha, good luck.
Bobby: Where the hell are they?
Kim: Ridin' around in circles, sure beats starin' at walls.
Jimmy: If you ask me Doc and Carlos are fair game for a little foul play?
Lombardo: Who asked you, Jimmy?
Taylor (whispers to Kin): What did he do, screw all their girlfriends?
Kim: Possibly.
Carlos: So, we get waved down at a street corner about a month ago. This guy's yelling, 'I'm alive, I'm alive!'.
Faith: Well, that's a nice change of pace right there.
Doc: Yeah, he told us he was the Lindbergh baby.
Carlos: Doc doesn't miss a beat, right. Says (imitating Doc) 'The Lindbergh baby? Thank God we found you.'.
Bosco: You guys talking about the Lindbergh baby that was kidnapped?
Faith: No, Bosco, the other one.
(After Bosco scares Faith)
Faith: That's not funny, Bosco.
Bosco: Oh, come on, we're locked in a damn basement. It's a little funny.
Faith: Well, Doc's layin' back there 'cause I shot 'em, I don't think that he thinks that's funny.
Bosco: He said it wasn't that bad.
Faith: We didn't tell them where we goin', Bos.
Bosco: They'll look for us.
Faith: 'They'll look for us.'?
Bosco: Yeah.
Faith: 'Cause unless there's a high-speed chase or some sort of gunplay, nobody expects to see your face until the end of the shift.

Goldie Blox and The Spinning Machine is a game designed to encourage young girls to get into engineering. I gave my 6-year-old daughter a set for her birthday and she loves it!
Kids join Goldie via a series of short stories. They build, along side Goldie and her pals, the same machines she does! The machines largely spin characters around pirouette-style, and the designs are never complex! Its really engaging!
Building with Goldie's Blox is easy. There is a stable board where axles and posts slot in cleanly. Children wrap ribbon around them and use cranks to wind, tension and spin things. The stories are well written and very simply walk kids through the basics. The designs are easy to follow. I was really pleased with how well designed the whole game is. Engineers, go figure!
Finding engaging toys and games that expose my daughter to mechanical engineering, science and just how the world works is difficult. The first time she played with Goldie, my daughter built machines for 3 hours. I'd say this game does a good job.
I'm a big fan of Goldie Blox and The Spinning Machine.

Kung Pao Eggplantby Kara Lydon, R.D., L.D.N., R.Y.T. in Healthy Recipes, Vegan, July 13, 2016
Who doesn't love a good Chinese takeout meal? The savory, umami flavors and bit of heat have us crawling back each and every time. But what if I told you that you could easily re-create Chinese takeout at home for a fraction of the calories and fat?
That's right: Today I have a recipe that will be ready in less time than it takes to wait around for takeout. Enter Kung Pao Eggplant. Substituting eggplant for chicken, you add another serving of vegetables to the plate, not to mention additional nutrients like fiber. This version is vegetarian (and vegan!) friendly and can be made gluten-free by using tamari in place of soy sauce and arrowroot flour instead of cornstarch.
This recipe is bursting with flavor — it's rich and savory with a hint of spice from the ginger and a kick of heat from the dried chiles. It's so tasty that you can toss out the takeout menu stuck to your fridge for good. Read more

iPhone 5 32GB White Locked to O2 No damage perfect condition £115. Get it unlocked £230. Trade in is abysmal.
Any trade in program no matter who it's through is going to give you significantly less than you paid for your device. They can't give you anywhere near what they would resell the device for or they couldn't make a profit to cover operating expenses to keep the trade in program running. Trade in programs are a convenience service and will give you fast easy access to cash/gift cards but you will pay a huge "convenience fee" versus selling your device yourself.
How is it that people don't understand that every single trade in program has operating costs??? That you will never get the full resale value of what you're trading in because they must make a profit or companies like Gazelle could not exist!!! It's no different than a used car the car has a resell value, Blue Book price, and that is the highest price you should expect if you sell it directly. If you trade it in toward a new car the dealer will not pay you that Blue Book price because that's what they will sell it for and if the dealer paid you that price they would have to sell it for more than its worth!!!
If an iPhone has an estimated resell value of $400, then if you trade it in you can not expect to be paid top dollar by a reseller because they can not sell it for more than its estimated value. Would anyone who's complaining about low trade in values actually pay more than the devices estimated value for a used device??? Because that's what would end up happening if these trade in programs were to pay you the full value of your used device!!! It's basic economics for any business to earn a profit and if you want the full value for your device you should sell it yourself!!!
