"the chiffon dress I received from venus was completely see-through, threads hanging off every seam, glued on glitter falling off and sticks to my skin. it is cheap and clearly not as pictured in the catalog. its not worth sending back due to shipping cost and nothing I could ever wear so I hope people read this and never order anything from venus!"
"I ordered a blouse for my mother, for her birthday. It's been a month and a half, and the package still hasn't arrive. I will be filing a Charge back from my credit card company!!! Worst online retailer I've ever encountered. Do yourself a favor, and avoid doing business with this company Venus.com "
"I ordered a dress for my relative in the USA, I am in the UK.
Well the first issue, their site has a field to select if the billing address is different, this I did as it was a birthday gift purchase.
Only after check out did the address come up as the same as the delivery address (the USA address)I immediately contacted them and was assured that this would be dealt with after chatting with an online agent named Fendi. And I requested an email confirmation that this was being done.
The following day I checked and it was the same - nothing was changed and no email confirmation received. I went into the change information area and changed this, thinking it would reflect immediately, this did not happen.I sent them an email complaint relating that the Billing Address is a London address and the Delivery address is a USA address.
This is the response I received: ''Good Morning,Thank you for your recent email. We apologize for any inconvenience. At this time, the order has not shipped. All International shipping information must be entered by a supervisor and not the chat representative. This information would have been hand written and submitted to a supervisor to complete the International shipping information. I am happy to take the information once again and resubmit to the appropriate supervisor.''
I emailed again stating that I do not require International Shipping and a gain repeated the issue, I have not received a response.I then went to chat with their online advisors where I repeated my issue again, and how irate I was and disappointed as this was my first time experience with this company.Lani - the advisor then stated that for international orders and shipping, I again told her it is not an international shipping it is being delivered to a USA address.
She then said to me that - and this is where I think this company is not secure and can be replicating customers credit/bank card details - she says to me I must provide her with the billing address again AND, provide her with the name of my bank, the address of my bankers, their telephone number and some other bank related number and they then have to call the bank and then call the deliver address to make verifications? They cannot authorise any payment until they make all those checks.
While talking to her I checked my bank account online and therein my pending transactions is VENUS.COM. REALLY....this is the first time in my online shopping that some one has requested all of this information.So if you needed all that info and you can't request funds until, why is there a payment request pending in my account and why is the billing address on their systems still the same as the delivery address????????????????
I told her that is was sounding fraudulent and dodgy and I would like to cancel, she got very defensive and then stated I need your billing details again to clear it up and your bankers information otherwise can I go ahead and cancel and disconnect this call.
I said to her please cancel my order.
Guess what my order is still NOT CANCELLED. I've sent them an email to this effect that they are basically doing fraud.
Still waiting on a response.
When did this happen: 16th into 17th JULY 2014"
"I placed my first order with Venus.com last week. After my order, I realized I had made an error. Customer service was polite and promptly made the correction when I called. When I received my items I did not like all of them. I see other people complaining about the quality of the products but what were you expecting for these low prices? Anyway, I called and told them I was leaving on a cruise in six days and wanted to return some items and try some different items. I called at 11 pm on a Saturday night and spoke to a polite and knowledgeable customer service rep who overnighted the products I wanted at no shipping charge, saying- So if you are not completely happy we will have time to get you what you want before your cruise. The return process for the other items was simple and convenient allowing me to use either UPS or the postal service. Amazing service after the sale; I will use this company again."
"Don't waste your money! Purchased Blue Multi (BLMU) Paisley Print Babydoll Top (Style #J9023). size was too big, elastic under bust was stretched out and colour was not true to the picture as it was very dull and old looking. Fabric was cheap. Also ordered a cruise line top that was made of cheap broadcloth normally used for pattern prototypes. Will not be ordering from Venus again as a result."
"I have ordered from them at least a half dozen times for everything from bathing suits, dresses, tops, and sweaters and never once had a major issue! Sure, a few items didn't fit here and there (particularly bathing suits) but honestly that's the risk you take of ordering online without being able to try it on! Even in stores, I can range through 2 or 3 different sizes and it's very difficult to find bathing suits that fit. I never had a problem returning for a refund, exchanging for a different size, or getting a credit slip and using it later. I did have an issue paying online with the credit slip, but I simply called the phone number (was connected instantly), and they were able to process it over the phone and let me use the additional savings promo code that was for web only orders. If I needed something by a specific date, I made sure to pay extra for the expedited shipping and they never failed to get here in time. I think people need to be more realistic of shopping for clothes online and the inherent risks that are involved with it (sizing, shipping speed, shipping costs). Also, read the fine print about returns/exchanges first. Venus has never left me surprised about their policies. This store will continue to be one of my top 3 stores for online shopping."
"I bought 2 pairs of pants, the camouflage cargo pant and the black coated denim pant. I'm usually a size 4 but according to their sizing I'm a 6. They fit perfect.
The only down side is that the fly (zipper) on the camo pant broke after wearing them twice. The teeth broke right off and so did the piece you pull upwards to zip the zipper!
I brought it to a seamstress and it ended up costing me $22 to get it replaced.
The coated denim pants are fine so far, they just have a funny smell.
I also ordered the faux leather sleeve sweater in a size small (I'm usually a medium)it fits perfect as well.
Their sizes are a bit off but if you follow the measurements they have you're good.
I wouldn't say the quality is the best, it's average. "
"Ok, venus get's a 3.5 from me. Venus has really cute clothing and I am satisfied with the items I received. Also, for the most part, they have good customer service with the exception of a few employees that were rude which is expected..every company has a few bad apples.. but for the most part, they have people that try and work with you. However, I have to give them a 3.5 because of all of the shipment related issues that I have had with them. Let me explain what I mean. Okay, I ordered a ton of items from them two of which were backordered which I was aware of before I made the purchase. I received my order in three business days after it was processed which I thought was awesome, however, one of the items that I ordered, they forgot to place it in my package and when I called them to tell the that it was not there, they informed me that item is now on backorder until August....August and my original order was placed in June. They did try and compensate me by upgrading my shipment to overnight but I hate that I have to wait until August to get an item that should have been in my package. Another example, I ordered two shirts that were on backorder when I placed my order. The shirts were not in the day that was given for the shirts to be in. When I called customer service, they told that they can only put an "expected date" on the website because they are depending on the company to ship the products to them which is fine and absolutely understandable but I feel like they should word it that way on the website so customers would know what to expect before they place their order. However, I have to say that they did try and work with me by again upgrading the shipment. Lastly, their return process is a bit of a headache. Now they almost always offer free shipment with purchases over $100, but you do have to pay for shipment for returns which they state in their policy so I'm okay with that. However, the process itself is a headache because it can take a while for you to receive your exchange back. I am still waiting on my exchange because I had to send a dress back that was too small (which was my fault because I ordered a size smaller because some reviews stated their clothes run big). I am also waiting for a refund to post back to my card so Ill let you know if that went smoothly or not...fingers crossed!
So all in all Venus unfortunately gets a 3.5 from me because although they have awesome clothing and good customer service for the most part, this shipment/return issues and the few rude customer service reps bring their score down...and it's sad because I really like their clothing/swimsuits. I'm not going to be like some and state not to order from them because everyone's experience is different and Im not absolutely sure that Im not going to order from them again. I guess Im just going to wait to see what happens with my refund, my exchange and my now backordered dress before I make a decision!"
"I found this company last year and ordered some sweaters and a dress for my upcoming Christmas party. Ordering was easy and everything came within a few days except for one item that was on backorder but that arrived a few days later. I LOVED everything so much that I ordered some tops, dresses, and a bathing suit for my summer vacation. I cannot express how happy I am with my order, especially with the swimsuit which I was really reluctant to order online. The top and bottom fit perfectly and the quality was great. I had one dress that was little big but the exchange process was quick and super easy. Venus is my new go-to online store!"
"Canadian Shoppers beware of Venus!
Venus is a horrible company to buy from and their customer service is crap too!
I ordered a few things from them, I was sent an e-mail to pay all duties and fees prior to shipment, which I did. When the items arrived, the sizes of a few things were too big, ( if you ask me, I think their sizes are a bit off ).
Anyways, I returned the item for exchange, unaware that I would be charged new Duties, Taxes and Custom Fees on my return for exchange! Now I am stuck with a new 40$CAD fee on two items worth 78$ in total. Can you imagine??? I just wish they had display their crappy way of doing business prior to me spending my money with them. Their response to my concern was, pay the new fees and request a re-imbursement from customs. How hard can it be to indicate that this is just an item "returned for exchanged" and not a new purchase.
I think it is a very crappy way of doing business. I have shopped numerous times with many other online companies in the States, never have I had such an awful experience. Revolve clothing is one of my favs. Shopping with them is a breeze from beginning to the end. Also I discovered that I can get the some similar and pretty cool items I purchased from Venus pretty much from my local Forever21 stores instead of going with Venus.
Please Canadians, unless you are willing to shell more money uselessly if you have to do a return with this company, avoid them like the plague!"
"I ordered 4 items from Venus and everything arrived within 3 days and I LOVED everything. The swimsuits fit perfectly and are well made. One dress was too big so I returned it and the new size arrived with no issues and no hassles. I have ordered from Venus several times over the past many years and I LOVE this company!"
"Canadian buyer beware!!! I will. NEVER EVER purchase from Venus again. Along with paying for the merchandise you need to pay duties and taxes. As soon as I received the email that I needed to pay duties and taxes I called Venus to cancel my order as I felt like it was no longer worth the money. They went on to tell me that it was too late because the order was already processed. Keep in mind that I called to cancel within an hour of placing the order (the pay for duty and taxes email was sent almost immediately). The product arrives but from the fairly large order I kept one item and returned the rest. When returning not only does the consumer have to pay the shipping fees but also broker fees! What a bunch of BS!!! Why don't they have a system like Victoria Secret does where returns are sent to a local warehouse in the city and they send the products back without the customer having to pay extra for an international shipment and broker fees? NEVER AGAIN ..... EVER!!!!"
"I Ordered 3 swim suits. They are not sized correctly. Either top too small or too big same for bottoms. Not one fit correctly. Free shipping is a joke. I returned all 3 suits. They penalize you if don't keep suits by charging you shipping. It took them 3 days to credit my card after they received the suits. Only after I called them 2 days in a row did they tell me of my reduced credit back on my card. I lost a total of about 12.00 Save your money!"
"HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE Customer service. The representative (Laina) and the manager (Michelle) both acted like I was bothering them. Maybe I interrupted their break or something. Anywho, Venus sent an email stating that my package would be here on a specific date. UPS says that the package goes to the post posy office which was never explained. Just a big mess to sum it all up. Will never order from them again!!!"

The Global Government Biometric Systems Market 2015-2025
The KMW / GD ELS system, called the DONAR, provides capabilities that will change conventional artillery doctrine. DONAR not only reduces crew and logistics requirements, but also provides for autonomous operations. The system is targeted to replace legacy systems (e.g., M109, AS90, K9, etc.) in service with modern armies.
A first prototype has already undergone rigorous mobility and fire trials at the test facility of the German procurement agency BWB (Bundesamt fur Wehrtechnik und Beschaffung), and will be displayed during this year's defence exhibition EUROSATORY in Paris, France.
The DONAR is a joint European technology program of GD ELS and KMW that utilizes specific resources and shared skills between the companies, creating true value for European and international defence forces. The joint effort also follows the growing European trend towards enhanced multinational industry cooperation in the land system sector.

Oscar Winner Tom Hooper Directing 'Les Miserables' Musical Next
by Alex Billington
March 24, 2011
Source: Deadline
My name is Jean Valjean. I am a convict from the galleys. Les Mis is back! Deadline reports that Universal has won the bidding war to develop a "full-blown musical adaptation" of Les Miserables, based on Victor Hugo's seminal classic published in 1862, with Oscar winning British director Tom Hooper of The King's Speech looking to direct. While anything could happen with the director over these next few months, since he is getting offers left and right now, Deadline states "this is the first film he's begun negotiations on since winning the Oscar" but were told "it would definitively be his next film." From King's Speech to Les Mis!
Cameron Mackintosh, who brought Les Miserables to the stage in 1985 as the extremely popular musical, is producing this with Working Title partners Tim Bevan & Eric Fellner. The screenplay is apparently already written by Bill Nicholson and the hope is to begin production on the musical before the end of the year, with shooting taking place somewhere in Europe. The musical features popular songs like "I Dreamed A Dream", "On My Own", and "Bring Him Home". Most folks probably read the book in high school and I'm sure many have seen the musical in some form as well. Let's just hope Hooper has a fresh new take on Les Miserables?
While many film fans were upset that Hooper (and The King's Speech) won the Oscar over David Fincher or Darren Aronofsky, I loved The King's Speech and I'm happy with the results, though I would say the same if it was Fincher. I think Hooper is a very talented director on the rise and I'm looking forward to seeing how he'll handle a popular period musical like this. I'm also curious to see how he works with a studio, especially one as abominable as Universal (recently). We'll definitely keep you updated! Anyone a big Les Mis fan?

Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano has tapped a former inspector general for the New York City Fire Department as the city's new overtime czar as part of his campaign to reduce payroll costs in the police and fire departments.
Jayme Naberezny, who starts Feb. 4, will serve as special assistant to the mayor for public safety policy, a job that will pay $120,000. She will be responsible for reviewing and analyzing police and fire department overtime expenditures and procedures, job-related injuries and sick-leave costs, according to Spano spokeswoman Christina Gilmartin.
Naberezny, 45, of Jackson Heights, Queens, has been a special investigator for the Manhattan district attorney's office, a deputy and inspector general with the New York City Department of Investigation and the FDNY's inspector general.
In that post, Naberezny headed dozens of high-profile corruption investigations, including the 2007 probe of 13 FDNY firefighters in the Bronx who allegedly were using bogus university degrees to get promoted.
"She's no shrinking violet," Gilmartin said. "She has quite a bit of experience for this job."
The move comes nearly three months after Spano's initial pick for an overtime czar -- former federal prosecutor and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent Patrick Shea -- quit his $140,000 appointment during his first week on the job.
At issue is a provision in the existing contract between the city and Yonkers Fire Union Local 628 requiring the city to keep at least 57 firefighters on duty. If the staffing falls below that level, as city officials say it often does, the city is required to call up additional firefighters at time-and-a-half pay. Spano said that has driven up overtime costs -- which city officials say averaged 218 hours per firefighter in 2012, costing $12,508 to $15,207 a year per firefighter.
Spano wants to lower the staffing requirements, which he said will dramatically reduce overtime costs. Union officials said the overtime problem could be solved if the city hired more firefighters to boost manpower levels. Spano said he is willing to do that, but only if the union agrees to cut the $70,996-a-year starting pay for new firefighters in half.
Another issue is the department's unlimited sick-leave policy, which Spano argues is being abused by firefighters who pad their pensions. He wants to limit the policy to cover only firefighters who are injured in the line of duty.
"We look forward to anyone coming to help us live within or means," Barry McGoey, the union's president, said in response to Naberezny's appointment. "Hopefully, one of the first things she will recognize is that a significant portion of the overtime costs in the Fire Department is directly attributable to the high number of firefighter vacancies."
The Yonkers Police Department has cut overtime costs substantially in recent years, from $21 million in 2007 to about $8.5 million in 2012, according to Det. Keith Olson, president of the Yonkers Police Benevolent Association.
Yonkers is grappling with chronic budget deficits projected to reach $420 million by 2016. The Fire Department's expenses, about $45 million in 2012, represent only a small portion of the city's $955 million budget. But wages and benefits, including overtime, account for the largest portion of the Fire Department's annual spending package.
Meanwhile, the city and its fire union head back into arbitration hearings Feb. 1 over Spano's move to cut overtime by closing down two fire companies and taking trucks off the road if too many firefighters call in sick on any given day.

SC-Gov. Appoints Black GOP Congressman Tim Scott to Senate
Matt | On 17, Dec 2012
It's a new day in South Carolina and Rep. Tim Scott, a Republican, is probably having the best one ever right now.
Gov. Nikki Haley appointed Scott on Monday to fill the seat that will be vacated next month by outgoing GOP Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC). The appointment is historic because Scott will be the sole African-American serving in the Senate. He will break an over 30-year run of no black conservatives in the lawmaking body. No blacks senators from the South have served in the U.S. Senate since Reconstruction.
So, the African-American community should celebrate this achievement because it's not everyday that it happens. Right? Trust, however, that this news will not make as many headlines or get much applause for a few reasons.
First, Scott is a Tea Party conservative — a title that very few in the African-American community hold. He currently represents the area in and around Charleston, SC in one of the most conservative states in the country.
Scott is also against many mainstream ideas. He wanted to do (or did) the following, according to Democratic Underground:
- Give more money to big oil companies
- Cut funding to HIV/AIDS support in South Carolina as a state lawmaker
- Impeach Pres. Obama because of the lack of resolution during the 2011 debt ceiling fight
- Propose a bill to cut off food stamps if any family member went on strike against their employer
- Believes we should not have gun regulation … AT ALL. (Let that one sink in).
Scott's diversity is welcome in the U.S. Senate, but his ideals leave a lot to be desired (for me). He received a hell of a promotion today. Let's at least celebrate the fact that someone of color was considered for the position. I already know, however, that Senate watchers will be all over Scott's record in the coming months — as they should be.
After the Connecticut tragedy, I hope Scott will reconsider his position on gun control. But, if his votes are owned by the NRA, I doubt we will see that.

To become an American citizen, immigrants must pass a test on the history and civics of the United States. While 92 percent of wannabe citizens pass on the first try, some 40 percent of natural born citizens are estimated to fail if they were to take the same test. Is America a nation of idiots, or are we just apathetic about our great history?
The following questions were crafted by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and are part of 100 possible questions asked during a naturalization interview. During the test, interviewees are asked to verbally answer up to 10 questions, of which they must answer six correctly.

10. Can You Name One of Your U.S. Representatives?
Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty ImagesRep. Karen Bass (D) - California's 33rd District
Shockingly, less than a third of Americans can name their Congressperson. On the flipside a recent poll showed that only 29 percent of people couldn't name the Vice President. The good people in the House at least have their State counterparts beat. Only 20 percent of people were able to name their State representative. Ouch. I suppose this is understandable when only around 50 percent of people vote and a Congressperson can change every two years.
To put it in some perspective, 90 million people voted in the 2010 midterm elections and 122 million votes were cast to decide the season 10 winner of American Idol. Americans care more about Scotty McCreedy than the folks who make and pass laws.
If you want to know who represents you (and you should), plug in your ZIP here - and the magic of the internet will reveal all.
9. If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?
Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images News
Answer: the Speaker of the House
Only nine Vice Presidents have become president upon the death or resignation of the President. If, for some reason, the Vice President is also unable to take the position then the next in line is the Speaker of the House. This order of succession was not always so. Soon after the nation was founded a law was passed that made the Senate president pro tempore next in line after the President and Vice President. Later, the Secretary of State became the third in line.
The system we have now became law in 1947 and is known as the Presidential Succession Act. It was ratified as part of the Constitution in 1965. So if President Obama and Vice President Biden both got hit by a bus, the presidency would fall to Republican John Boehner (yeah, he's the Speaker of the House).
8. Who is the Chief Justice of the United States now?
Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images News
Answer: John G. Roberts Jr.
John Roberts was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court by President George W. Bush in 2005 after the death of former Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Roberts is the 17th chief justice of the United States. Prior to taking the bench in the highest court of the land, Roberts served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. He is the youngest chief justice since 1801.
7. What Territory Did the United States Buy From France in 1803?
Photo: Jennifer Thermes/Photodisc/Getty Images
Answer: Louisiana
The Louisiana Territory was bought from France in 1803 for the sum of $15 million dollars (around $220 million today). The United States bought 828,000 square miles, which was the largest land acquisition in American history. The purchase literally doubled the size of the United States and helped the country expand westward. The land grab encompasses all or part of 15 current U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. The newly acquired land also opened up the port of New Orleans and allowed farmers to ship their goods down the Mississippi River without needing permission from another country.
6. What did Susan B. Anthony do?
Photo: Fotosearch/Archive Photos/Getty Images
Answer: Fought for women's rights
Susan B. Anthony is a pioneer of women's rights. Born in Massachusetts in 1820, Anthony devoted her life to civil rights. She was the woman responsible for introducing women's suffrage into the United States. She also campaigned against slavery. She routinely traveled around the country, and Europe, giving up to 100 speeches a year advocating women's rights.
Anthony died at age 86, 14 years before women were given the vote. In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution gave women the right to vote and is widely known as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. Anthony is also the first women to appear on a circulating U.S. coin, the Susan B. Anthony dollar.
5. What is the "rule of law"
Photo: Jim Arbogast/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Answer: Everyone must follow the law. (Duh!)
This is a simple one, so it's surprising how many people get it wrong. When most people hear the answer, they kick themselves for overthinking the question. John Adams, the second President of the United States, is responsible for crafting the section of the Constitution that outlines the "rule of law." Adams writes, "No person or group is above the law." The rule of law "helps to make sure that government protects all people equally and does not violate the rights of certain people."
4. How Many Amendments Does the Constitution have?
Photo: VisionsofAmerica/Joe Sohm/Photodisc/Getty Images
Answer: 27
The first amendments to the Constitution took place in 1791 when the Bill of Rights was added. This consisted of 10 amendments that outlined the individual rights of people. It is a list of all the things the government can't do. Some of these rights include freedom of expression, the right to bear arms, freedom from search without a warrant, and the right to a trial by a jury of your peers. Since the Bill of Rights, 17 further amendments have been made. The 27th amendment was added in 1992 and explains how senators and representatives are paid.
3. The House of Representatives has How Many Voting Members?
Photo: Steve Allen/ Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
Answer: 435
The House of Representative has had 435 voting members since 1912. The House also contains six non-voting remember who represent (or don't) the District of Columbia and the territories of Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
While the number of representative in the house cannot change, the number of representatives in each state can. Representation in the house is based on population and is one of the reasons a census is conducted every ten years. No matter what, each state must have at least one representative.
2. Name One of the Writers of the Federalist Papers
Photo: MPI/ Archive Photos/Getty Images
Answer: James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay or Publius
The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 essays written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay under the pseudonym "Publius" in 1787 and 1788. They were published in New York newspapers during the time New York State was deciding whether or not to support the U.S. Constitution. The essays made the case as to why New York should ratify the Constitution. All the essays were combined and published into a book in 1788 called The Federalist Papers. This book is still read by people to help them understand the Constitution.
1. What Year was the Constitution Written?
Photo: VisionsofAmerica/Joe Sohm/Photodisc/Getty Images
Answer: 1787
Yes, the United States Constitution was written in 1787 by the Founding Fathers of the United States. James Madison, who would later become the fourth president of the United States, is credited with writing the bulk of the document.
The Constitution is short and outlines the "supreme law of the land." It sets up the system of government known as "representative democracy" and lists fundamental rights all citizens and people living in the United States must have. The U.S. Constitution has lasted longer than any other country's constitution. It's sad that some 70 percent of American polled by Newsweek magazine didn't know diddly-squat about it.

In the not too distant future we may be utilizing our bridges and highways as energy producers – at least that's what visionary Italian designers Francesco Colarossi, Luisa Saracino and Giovanna Saracino foresee. They recently submitted their Solar Wind bridge design to the Italian Solar Park South design competition.
The competition asked designers to envision new ways to incorporate alternative energy and environmentally friendly solutions into the design of an elevated highway over a deep gorge between Bagnera and Scilla in Italy.
The Wind Solar hybrid design features 26 wind turbines mounted between the support pillars of the bridge's structure and 20 km of solar roadway with embedded solar cells. The designers estimate that the solar and wind systems could provide enough electricity to power approximately 15,000 homes.
A green promenade that would extend the length of the bridge's roadway would house solar greenhouses for growing local produce. Challenges – the vibration created by the wind turbines and the potential danger to birds and bats.
The design won second place in the competition. via: eVolo

I booked a hotel in Albir (Spain) on 12/11/13 and I got a phone call the day after saying that I need to pay an extra £39pp for the holiday!! I had budgeted for the holiday and had everything worked out and then get this phone call! They should tell you the exact price upon confirmation of the holiday - especially as I was paying upfront!!

If you had followed THIS GUIDE to mod your wii then you would have already installed the shop channel update.
i've just softmodded my wii yesterday and have run into a little problem. after i finished softmodding i tried to go into the shopping channel but it told me i needed to update before i could. i have been trying to follow RED GHOSTS guide into doing this by using the online installation. i have got as far as installing selecting my region and installing.
but the next step on the guide is to:
Step 4- Now select IOS and choose IOS56 and install
this option doesnt appear to me on the screen when ive finished the installation. i tried changing the iso manually but when i loaded the shopping channel it came up with a blue screen saying error002 and telling me to remove disk and turn the power off.
has anybody experienced this problem before and what would i have to do to sort it out?
Many thanks
sorry for being a complete noob but ive just found the change and install iso option and i thought id cracked it..... but no it trys to load ios was from sd card but just says:
could not open file:sd:/ios56-64-v5662.wad
could not open file:sd:/wad/ios56-64-v5662.wad

yes thanks for that. As i was reading through the guide, when it got to that part it sounder like a optional thing to do and as i already had the shopping channel installed i thought i wouldnt need it (how wrong was i). ive managed to sort it now anyway. i used the offline guide instead and it sorted it straight away. Thanks.

iPhone 5: All You Need to Know
iPhone 5, the latest generation of Apple's mobile phone was unveiled last week and is officially released today, writes technology blogger Dr Thomas Hartley of the University of Wolverhampton.
In anticipation of the release we thought we'd take a look at some of the phones new features. According to the headlines Apple's iPhone 5 is thinner, lighter and faster than the iPhone 4S, but what's the real story?
On the surface the design of the iPhone 5 is not radically different to its two predecessors. We still have the rectangular shape, large screen and the single home button on the front. Nevertheless, there are a number of design enhancements that improve the overall user experience.
The iPhone 4S had a glass front and back with a steal band around the outside. This looks nice; however, it isn't always practical. The glass back is very slippery, so your iPhone has a habit of sliding off things you put it on; furthermore, the glass collects smudged marks from your fingers.
The new iPhone 5 has an anodised aluminium back, so hopefully the number of accidental sliding incidents should be reduced. The iPhone 5 is also lighter and thinner. It weighs in at 112 grams and 7.6 mm. This makes it 20% lighter and 18% thinner than its predecessor.
Retina Display
The iPhone 5 features a 4-inch display that is longer but not any wider than the iPhone 4S. This means that the iPhone 5 has more screen space, but should be just as easy to hold in one hand. However, the extra length might mean you have to stretch to reach the apps on the top row and it may be trickier to get to the power button with just one hand.
The advantages of the longer display are that you now have an extra row of apps or folders (6 instead of 5). This should make apps easier to access. In addition, movies and video should now play with minimal or no black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Finally, there is more space for apps to show their content. You will be able to see more of the web pages you visit, your calendar and inbox.
Camera and Lightning connector
The rear camera on the iPhone 5 is the same, but thinner 8 megapixel camera from the previous iPhone. It is a fine camera; however, some improvement would have been nice. The main enhancement to the camera comes in terms of software improvements, therefore they are also available on the iPhone 4S after an upgrade to iOS 6.
The new panorama feature lets you capture large sweeping vistas up to 240 degrees. This feature is super easy to use thanks to some intuitive software that allows you to take a momentous picture with one slow horizontal or vertical motion.
The iPhone's connector has been replaced with a much smaller connector called lightning. The main advantage of the connector is its decreased size and reversibility, which means you do not have to think about which way you need to plug in the cable. The main downside of the new adaptor is that your current accessories and cables for your iPhone 4S or earlier (e.g. car kits and speakers) will not work with the new phone unless you buy an adaptor from Apple. This is an extra expense that may be frustrating for some.
Performance and LTE/4G
The iPhone 5 sports the new custom designed A6 CPU, which offers app and graphics performance that is up to twice as fast as the previous A5. This should mean that the phone is smoother to navigate, apps load quicker and games look better.
The iPhone 5 also supports faster wireless performance via LTE. LTE stands for Long Term Evolution; however, to you and me it means 4G high speed internet on our mobile phones and other data devices.
LTE for the iPhone will initially be available in the UK from the operator EE (Everything Everywhere), who are a rebranded T-mobile and Orange. In the future three should offer support for LTE on the current iPhone 5; however, according to an article on engadget O2 and Vodafone will be not be able to support LTE on the current iPhone 5. This may change with future iPhone models.
The rollout of LTE in the UK will start with major cities, such as London, Birmingham and Cardiff, so you many not initially be able to take advantage of the higher speeds. LTE is a good feature; however, the rollout will take time and you may need to initially swap networks to take advantage of it. As with 3G and Wi-Fi, if you find the feature is draining your battery it may be worthwhile switching it off if you are not taking advantage of it.
You can see Apple's latest keynote on iOS 6 and iPhone 5 here.
Will you be upgrading your phone to the new iPhone 5?

Provides: Bluetooth audio playback
Developer: Boombotix
Price: $69.99
Availability: Out Now
So you want some more wireless speaker options? We've got you covered. Boombotix is the maker of the Boombot2 wireless, portable, even wearable speaker with some interesting customization options.
The unit is about 3-1/2" high, 3-1/2" wide, and about 2" deep, weighing only a few ounces. The shape is a bit reminiscent of a skull with lopsided and disproportioned eye sockets. The unit comes with a spring clip on the back so you can wear it.
The controls are pretty simple—on the top are three buttons: volume down, power/input toggle, and volume up. The middle button is the on/off switch as well as the toggle between cord input and Bluetooth input. There is a star shaped cutout with an LED indicator to give you a visual as to which input you are using. The green LED will light up for the cord and a blue LED lights up for the Bluetooth connection (predictable, but memorable).
The Boombot2 comes with two cables: an 1/8" to 1/8" connector with a retractable spool mechanism and a USB to mini USB connector. The cable ports are both on the back of the speaker between the "feet." Each port has a small rubber flap to keep any unwanted stuff out of the port, which can be very handy if you are wearing this outside while biking, skating, etc. (and take a header in the dirt, not that it's ever happened to me, of course…).
Now, on to the sound. The Boombot2 can make your iDevice sound considerably better. The unit has a 1-1/2" driver which can provide tolerable volume and sound quality. When I connected my media player on my computer to the unit, the graphic EQ helped quite a bit. In comparison, the sound I got when I played my iPod Touch through the unit was a bit flat and tinny. Also, especially if you play through an EQ of some kind, it is easy to get distortion and clipping on the bass end, so you will need to be careful about how loud you turn it up. On the quiet side, it doesn't sound too bad when you turn it down, and it has descent control through the range of volume.
Never let it be said we don't have fun, and so it goes for the Boombot2. The stock unit is charcoal grey, but you can get finishes from a limited edition wood grain, to camouflage, to a little green Frankenstein's monster type of guy. The speaker covers also come with replacement grilles to give your Boombot2 some eyes—how about a targeting crosshair or a lightning bolt or a cat's eye?
For the designed use of the Boombot2, it isn't bad. I'm not sure it quite warrants the $69.99 price given the sound quality is only okay, but it does at least have some style. Functional and fun can go together, and this unit does a fair job.
Appletell Rating:
Buy the Boombot2

Hello, I recently sold an expensive phone (over $400) tonight to an eBay user registered yesterday. Due to the cell phone market having a very high scam rate, it always make me a bit nervous. His eBay username is a generic American name, and then the name on paypal is a different name, and the paypal is unverefied. I checked out the address and it seems to be the location of a chinese restaurant (paypal name isn't chinese either, and I looked it up and it's not the owner, but yes possible he works there)
I think I will contact the buyer first and have him confirm the address is correct, but what else can I do to protect myself from a scam other than signature confirmation?
black*max wrote:
I would use insured FedEx with what ever they call the signature that must be the person on the address.
I think it's direct signature required.
They will need a picture ID
Sorry thats wrong Adult Signature Required is where the person must have a photo ID, but it can still be anyone at the delivery address.
If the address in the paypal payment is showing as either confirmed or eligable, I'd ship it. But ship it with signature confirmation, because the value is more than $250 and required by paypal for you to have seller protection against non receipt. If you follow paypal's rules you virtually can not lose. Even if paypal later decides the buyer's CC wasn't valid, stolen, etc., paypal will eat it and you will not lose your money.
Yes I know, someone will come along to say that they lost money on an item when they followed paypal's rules. Exceptions do happen but they are very rare when you've adheared to all of paypal's shipping rules. I've only had 2 stolen card claims in 13 years here and in both cases paypal footed the bill and I kept my money.
One of the claims was filed through paypal and the other claim was filed directly from the CC owner to their CC company. And again, paypal handled both of them and released both payments back to me after having put a hold on them.
I know that signature confirmation will win against an INR case, but the scam which I am worried about here, which is common in the electronic market (especially Apple products) is a buyer claiming that you sent them a completely different item, as far as I know there is nothing that protects the seller against this scam.
Or they will switch case serial numbers or screens with a non functioning phone and claim it doesn't work.

Circumcision regrets or not?
3 years after my husbands vasectomy he apparently grew a third vas deferens and I became pregnant with #4, a boy this time. (I have 3 daughters)
After reading that the AAP and Dr. Sears both say there is no medical reason for circumcision we are fairly certain we aren't doing it. However my husband is circumcised, and I'm a woman so tough call.
Anyone have uncirsumcized sons or hubbies? Regrets? Circumcized a baby a regretted it? Opinions?
Neither of us knew there was a possibility of 3rd vas deferens. Make sure he checks his count every 6 months! We never did after that first clean test. =)
Quoting KeimUNCmomof3:
You caught me at your husband's vasectomy failed....smh, i hope that my husband's vasectomy holds up FOREVER and I never get pregnant again....it would be very risky for me, not a good thing at all.
No regrets with my two sons. I left it up to my husband to decide. I'll tell you what though, it's painful to watch the procedure...but, it's comforting for your baby boy if you're there.
My DH is not circumsized and hates it. He has no medical reason for it so insurance won't pay for it. He wants to get it done badly. He insisted our son get cut and insurance paid for it back then. Neither of us have any regrets.
Quoting ReeseStrickland:
I think my oldest's father might have been embarrassed by being uncircumcised. He never wanted to talk about it. He really insited our son have it he wouldn't give me a reason though. He was a runner so maybe he got made fun of in the locker room or something. My hubby on the other hand never had any issues but he grew up in a different country where no one gets circumcised.
This.....It was a decision that me and his dad made together.
Quoting e-doolittle:
my DS is circumsized. I do not regret it.
2-5 may be too young for some to pull it back, the average age of full retractability is 10. As long as they are able to pee and retract it once it's ready, which may not happen until they are teens, they won't have issues. When they're retracted forcibly too young is when they have major potential for problems.
OP, my ds is intact and has had no problems. He will be 5 on Saturday. My brother is also intact and, as far as I know, has never had any issues either. He is 27 now. Go with your gut.
Quoting mom22boys333:
Neither my husband or ds's are circumcised and we don't regret the decision. 1) We aren't Jewish and 2) both of us feel that circumcision is similar to genital mutilation......My family acted like I was mentally ill for not having it done. If you choose for him to be intact, make sure he starts pulling it back between 2-5 yrs and keeps it clean....otherwise he could have problems....Also keep in mind problem do arise from having circumcisions....My cousin was circumcised and at 2 the skin began to "fuse" or something and the Dr. had to pull it back and cut it again and he was miserable for weeks.
Good luck!
It is completely normal and healthy for the foreskin to be tight on a prepubescent intact boy. It is fused to the glans at birth as a protective function and will slowly separate and become retractable sometime before adulthood. The boy is the only person whom should ever be retracting his foreskin, and only once it becomes naturally retractable. Ballooning is also completely normal and healthy. It happens when the foreskin is separating from the glans but is not yet fully retractable.
Quoting OoOJanisOoO:
My first son has a different dad then my others. I left the decision up to their dads because I didn't really care one way or the other. My oldest son's father is not circumcized but he insisted that my son should be. Now my husband is not circumcized either but he didn't want our son to be so he wasn't. Right away I regretted it. His skin was very tight and his foreskin would fill up like a balloon when he peed. I just worried (and still do) that he will need to be circumcized later. I think that would be tramatic and just wish we had done it at birth. Now he is 4 and his skin is still tight and he makes a big mess when he pees but I am going to wait and see if it gets better on its own. My oldest is 14 now and has had no issues. Infact we have talked about it because he knew his little brother wasn't and he is very happy to be circumcized.
Child Passenger Safety Technician
i have no regrets in letting my boys get circumcised. the only part that bothers me is the fact that i put my boys thru the pain. my 8yr an my 18 yr old skin grew back by time they were 6. their pedi thinks its weird that both my boys skin grew back

Taxpayer picks up bill for Armed Forces Day
Taxpayers are facing a bigger bill for a celebration of the UK's armed forces in Scotland after organisers failed to reach their corporate sponsorship target.
Stirling Council had hoped to attract funding of £190,000 from commercial sponsorship and other sources for its Armed Forces Day on Saturday, which clashes with 700th anniversary commemorations of the Battle of Bannockburn.
However, only £66,000 has been raised through sponsorship. The Scottish and British governments, as well as the Ministry of Defence, have had to top up the local authority's contribution, meaning taxpayers will be footing three quarters of the bill.
Steven Paterson, deputy leader of the SNP group on Stirling Council, said: "I am disappointed that not even half the target for corporate sponsorship set by the Conservative-Labour…

Shortly after announcing the design of a new chip that allows wireless base stations to handle far more mobile users — a practical solution to network congestion and dropped calls — PicoChip has brought in $20 million in equity funding to grow fast enough to keep up with demand and stave off an acquisition.
The new PicoChip design beefs up femtocells, small base stations that are networked together via broadband. As a relatively tiny company, based away from the epicenter of the mobile industry in Bath, England, it's enjoyed considerable success. But it needs to expand, and grow its involvement in LTE communications, a fourth-generation wireless technology that's becoming an industry standard, to be a long-term contender.
Femtocells themselves are relatively new. Initially conceptualized as in-home base stations, they have started to make more sense in the commercial arena, especially since businesses can much more easily afford them. Residential consumers haven't been willing to pay monthly subscriptions for femtocell service. Now PicoChip's new product, which allows 400 people to talk on their cell phones while connected to just one femtocell, could make commercial femtocell sales more logical.
So far only a few of the major carriers have tapped the potential of femtocells, including Vodafone in the United Kingdom. They don't seem to be worth the cost and complexity in most cases, analysts say. But PicoChip might tip the cost-benefit analysis in their favor, which could bring some of the bigger operators to the company's door looking for a technology acquisition.
With already a million chips sold, PicoChip has the opportunity to lead a burgeoning market here if it can grow big enough without being snapped up, especially as more people migrate to 4G networks, which are even weaker inside buildings than current 3G networks, also increasing the demand for commercial femtocells — and the chips that can boost their performance.
Founded in 2000, picoChip has raised $110 million to date. Its backers include Intel Capital, Pond Ventures, Samsung, Scottish Equity Partners, Rothschild, Atlas Venture and Highland Capital Partners.

Recipient of 2015 American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis (ABAPsa) Book Prize "Bruce Fink's longstanding efforts to translate and explain Lacan to an English-speaking audience in clear, concise, and communicative language culminates in this collection of his recent contributions. He successfully illuminates key Lacanian concepts from a clinical perspective, and provides extensive illustrative overviews of psychoanalytic treatment of severely ill patients. Several interviews by the author and a final summary of where he places Lacanian psychoanalysis in contrast to Freud's original formulations, on the one hand, and contemporary mainstream ego psychology/object relations theory approaches, on the other, provide a well-defined outline of the essential characteristics of contemporary Lacanian psychoanalysis. Regardless of where they might differ, psychoanalysts and psychodynamic psychotherapists of all contemporary schools will find this a clear and satisfactory introduction to the Lacanian approach." - Otto F. Kernberg, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Weill Medical College of Cornell University; Director, Personality Disorders Institute, New York Presbyterian Hospital, Payne Whitney Westchester; Training and Supervising Analyst, Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research "Over the years, Bruce Fink has established himself as the key figure of Lacanian psychoanalysis in the English-speaking world. With this superb collection of papers and interviews, he once again demonstrates his virtuoso ability to extract the precious juice from Lacan's texts in order to re-process it into a tasty psychoanalytic cocktail that will be greatly appreciated by aficionados and novices alike. And for all his clinical and theoretical brilliance, Fink never takes himself to be the One, but just as one amongst many, so that the reader never feels intellectually inferior and is always allowed to think along with him. As the French would have it: Chapeau!" - Professor Dany Nobus, Chair of Psychology and Psychoanalysis, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Brunel University London, UK "Bruce Fink is arguably the foremost commentator and interpreter of Jacques Lacan's work in the United States today, and the publication of a new set of commentaries and case vignettes by him foregrounding the principles of Lacanian practice is thus something of an event for practitioners in the field...Against Understanding provides us with perhaps the best practical sourcebook to Lacanian theory and practice that we currently have. It is often said of the good analyst that he or she knows how to keep the patient talking. The two volumes of Bruce Fink's Against Understanding evince a different skill: they keep the reader reading." - Derek Hook, Psychodynamic Practice

One step forward, one step backward.
The Jays had won eight of 13 headed into Tuesday's encounter with Tampa.
They had won four in a row at home.
The offence has been clipping along, second in the league since May 5 in on-base percentage. Second in slugging. Second in OPS.
They had beaten the Rays Monday, scoring seven runs.
Tuesday they roughed up the Tampa bullpen, but couldn't do anything against starter Alex Cobb.
They are a schizophrenic 10 games behind the Yankees, one moment playing smash-mouth baseball, the next getting smashed in the mouth.
Tuesday there was a little of both. And, all it got them was a 4-3 loss, the game ending with Melky Cabrera arguing about a third strike call as Fernando Rodney chalked up a wobbly save.
The Toronto bullpen was superb. It had to be to keep this thing close as starter Ramon Ortiz' bubble burst. The Buffalo Bisons callup was shackled with the loss, gone after just 2⅓ innings, six hits and four runs.
Afterwards, he said he was "happy."
You had to admire his optimism. But Josh Johnson is warming up in Dunedin, soon to return.
Colby Rasmus hit a home run, his league-leading seventh for AL centre fielders. But J.P. Arencibia's recent swoon continued with two strikeouts and rally-killing double play to end the eighth. He's hitting .120 in the past eight games.
This game was a microcosm of the season — a cloud for every silver lining.
Adam Lind, batting .344 in the past 22 games, has been crushing the ball and manager John Gibbons moved him into the clean-up spot.
That move came up a silly millimetre short, and the length of Yunel Escobar's gloved hand, from turning frowns into smiles, too.
With two aboard in the sixth, trailing 4-1, Lind slashed a ball past Cobb. "Yeah, when it went by the pitcher I thought it would go through. Then I see Yunel diving."
Shortstop Escobar snagged his worm-burner. The throw in the dirt was scooped at first by James Loney.
Good-bye rally. "That is the luck of baseball," Lind said.
Not to mention, Yunel has been a bit of a kill-joy around here for quite a while.
"He made a great play. That could've been the game right there. It was a good opportunity for us and it didn't happen," said reliever Esmil Rogers, after he, Aaron Loup, Steve Delabar and Brett Cecil kept Toronto close, combining for 6⅔ scoreless innings. Ortiz — who'd allowed just two runs in his previous two starts got the hook after surrendering four runs in just 2⅓ innings.
"He just didn't have command of his pitches and he was getting it up. If he'd been able to keep the ball down … maybe it's different," Gibbons said of pulling Ortiz early. "He just didn't have it tonight."
Kelly Johnson clubbed an 81 m.p.h. slider with which Ortiz caught too much of the plate. When last seen, the ball was bouncing off the backdrop in centre field.
Desmond Jennings made it 3-0 skying one over the Toronto bullpen to lead off the third.
A couple singles later, Ortiz took the slow, sad walk to the dugout, perhaps even back towards Buffalo.
Thanks for dropping by, etc. Baseball can be cruel that way.
Delabar threw up zeros. Rogers got three inning-ending double plays. But, in the end, the Jays — like their starter — didn't have enough either.
Cobb stiffled Toronto on three hits, turning the 4-1 lead to the bullpen in the seventh.
Tampa's pitching staff has been a black hole of sorts. It ranks 24th in the majors with a 4.41 ERA coming into Tuesday's encounter. While the rest of the Rays' staff was 11-19 with a 5.11 ERA, Cobb and Matt Moore have been Batman and the Boy Wonder, combining for a 12-2 record with a 2.58 ERA.
And, that proved to much to overcome, although Toronto inched close against Tampa's bullpen, getting runners in scoring position in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth.
Jose Bautista lined an RBI single in the eighth to make it 4-2.
Again, it could've been so much more.
Instead there was just hope and gory. With the lead run at the plate, the Jays caught a bit of luck when
Lind hit a grounder to Ryan Roberts, who'd come on as a defensive replacement. Scorebooks were already being marked with the inning-ending double play. Instead Roberts dropped the ball.
All safe. Bases juiced. Manager Joe Maddon brings in closer Fernando Rodney. The crowd rejoices.
One pitch. J.P. Arencibia ripped a grounder. And, Roberts converted the double play.
Then came an equally frenetic ninth in which Rasmus doubled, came around to score on Fernando Rodney's wild pitch, and bringing Cabrera to the plate with the tying run.
But three strikes later, ump Dale Scott's arm punched the sky. "Nah," said Gibbons, when asked if he thought it was in the strike zone. "But he's a pitchers' umpire. He was calling strikes all night. You can't complain."
Perhaps, not. But, many in a sparse, crowd of 15,802, begged to differ.

Let's Blow Some Crap Up !!!
It's that time of the year. The time where we start to see the metal garage doors open on those fireworks stands that beautify the South Texas highways.
Where else can you buy one of anything and get eleven for free? Nowhere, that's where.
With all of the excitement comes a lot of warnings. "It's too dry". "It's too dangerous". "You'll lose a finger".
"Do Not Put in Mouth…When Lit". That's my all time favorite warning on fireworks. Ridiculous, don't you think? Obviously, someone actually DID put in mouth when lit or that warning would've never made it to the package. There are better ways to lose fingers as well. Sooooo don't be stupid.
Here's a solid article from a TV station, WCYB (www.wcyb.com) in a city I used to live in Tennessee.

SO I wasn't a fan of this one. I didn't want to write the review really, haha, so I'll keep it short and sweet! Again, a huge thanks to Tea Forte for the extremely generous samples.
For me, being a ginger, I love ginger. It's in my blood :D Anyways, I do love ginger. The ginger in this wasn't enough for me, it didn't tingle really and I could hardly taste it – although I knew it was there. I liked the dry smell, very limey and fruity, but it was almost too "thick" for me, even after a short steep. Maybe if it was a bit more tart it would have 'fit' better, I'm no expert though haha!
Not tasty pour moi, and I only have one tea forte sample left! Wish me luck :)

Hi! Very proud to be here with all of you. Another important question I have is if the controller of one particular sector of an ARTCC or TRACON work alone or is assisted by another controller. Here on my work environment, after asuming a sector, I´ll have all time long the assistance of another controller.
Supposing that the answer will be NO ASSISTANT AT ALL, then How telephone calls for ATC Coordinations that impacts that particular sector are handled? Thank you!


text: Jan 27 (Reuters) - Southeast Asian shares rose on Wednesday ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's January monetary policy statement due later in the day, helped by overnight gains in oil prices, with the Philippines outperforming the region. U.S. crude surged 3.7 percent on Tuesday after OPEC renewed calls for rival producers to cut supply alongside its members. However, the contract was down 1.24 percent on Wednesday on profit-taking. The Philippine stock index was up 2.1 percent near a two-week high, led by financials. Thailand gained 1.1 percent on energy shares, while Indonesia rose 0.7 percent on the back of large caps. "We expect to see a dovish Fed statement as global and China's economic concerns become one of the key factors on rate decision," said Teerada Charnyingyong, an analyst at Phillip Capital in Bangkok. The Fed's statement will explain the state of the world's largest economy and its stance on interest rate hike in the future. Many expect it to be dovish. Bank of Japan will hold policy meetings on Jan. 28-29.

Elections, Politics
"Trickle Down Fairy Dust"
The chief strategist for Obama's 2012 Presidential Campaign, David Plouffe, stated the on Sunday shows last week that Governor Romney is offering the same policies that got us into the Great Recession in the first place – "top-down trickle-down fairy dust." "It didn't work then and it's not going to work now."
Unfortunately many uninformed citizens will buy this deception because the Republicans don't forcefully dispute these lies. First of all the Great Recession was caused by the Democrat's forcing banks to finance with government guarantees homes for people who couldn't afford them.
Those guarantees from Freddie and Fannie were backed by the people of the United States essentially without their knowledge or approval because had they been asked they never would have given it. It is time for the Republican talking heads to speak up and destroy the fallacy that their policies caused the Great Recession.
The trickle-down, top-down charge is ludicrous. That is how economies have always worked. Before 1776 just a very few people called all the shots. The kings, queens and other monarchs dictated what trickled down to the masses. The democratic revolution in America changed all that to allow just about anyone to become powerful and wealthy and trickle down economic benefits on others.
Today we have several million industrious people in America that do the trickling. These are the same people Democrats are blaming for a bad economy. It is their 2012 campaign to vilify and punish them as greedy selfish heartless Republicans.
The implied policy of the Democrats is to unmercifully tax and regulate the "heartless" and redistribute their wealth to the middle class – with no mention of the poor (Democrats don't mention the poor as they already have them buffaloed).
What Republicans should vehemently promote is that trickle-down is the effect of wealth creation not the cause. Wealth is created by the mere fact that opportunity to create it exists in America. Republicans should shout from the rooftops that Democrats are stifling and limiting opportunity at every turn and that is what is causing the massive reduction in the personal wealth of Americans and blocking its recovery.
Opportunity is what is meant by the word free in the term free market system. Republicans need to make this abundantly clear to those who want to vote for a Democrat. The American Dream depends on it.

After schooling a healthy chunk of the SURFER edit staff on the ping-pong table, Electric Visual's Macy Mullen and Jamie Parkhurst made their way through the SURFER office to say whatsup. Throughout their entire three-hour jaunt, the pair never stopped laughing. Not once. One liners and putdowns were apparently the order of the day as the two laced into each other and a few unlucky SURFER staffers with enough quick-witted, smart-ass remarks to warrant their own HBO standup series. Between the laughs and cackles, we were able to get a few questions in with dynamic duo.
Who would you invite to your own private party?
Macy Mullen: Everyone, I would flat out invite everyone! [Laughs]
Jamie Parkhurst: Jessica Alba, Taj, and Giselle probably. Yeah, I think that would do it for me. [Laughs]
M.M.: I'm all hip-hop lately. Kanye's new album is super sick. Hieroglyphics are the shit; basically anything with a good beat.
J.P.: Mostly metal and punk for me. Like The Misfits, ya know, stuff like that.
M.M.: Knocked Up, it's f–king hilarious. That movie is unbelievable from start to finish. That might be the funniest movie of all time. [Macy begins laughing uncontrollably for a good minute.]
J.P.: What was the last movie I saw? Oh yeah, The Bourne Ultimatum, that movie was sick.
M.M.: Anything my mom cooks, she can do no wrong in the kitchen. [Laughs]
J.P.: Probably Mexican food. I can't think of anything better than that.

BEIJING, March 20 (UPI) -- A Tibetan official has characterized the protests in Tibet against Chinese rule as "cutthroat combat" between his people and supporters of the Dalai Lama.
"The cutthroat combat between us and the Dalai clique with its antagonistic supporters in some Western countries is a significant political competition for choice on separation on unification," Ragdi, former vice chairman of the Standing Committee of Chinese parliament, said.
The official media, which refers to the Tibetan spiritual leader and his followers as the "Dalai clique," has quoted Ragdi extensively in its Tibet reports.
Ragdi said the plot of a small number of people to sabotage the stability and harmony of Tibet will not gain public support, the state-run news agency Xinhua said.
In another report, Ragdi said the past two decades have seen peace in Tibet, jointly credited to the Chinese government and supported by the people across the country. He said this helped Tibetan people enjoy rapid economic growth, which now has become an "eyesore" for the Dalai Lama supporters who are unhappy to see common Tibetans become masters of their own lives.
