MONTGOMERY, Ala., Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Montgomery, Ala., police say a bus carrying University of Alabama cheerleaders was involved in a crash that left one person in critical condition.
The charter bus was bringing the cheerleaders home from the BCS championship football game in Miami when it was involved in a three-vehicle crash with a car and a pickup truck Tuesday, the Tuscaloosa (Ala.) News reported.
Natalie Baine, who was one of four UA students in the pickup truck, was in critical condition at Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The other passengers were not injured, said UA spokeswoman Cathy Andreen. The vehicles were not traveling with the charter bus, she said.
Police say no one on the bus was hurt.
The crash is under investigation, Montgomery Police spokeswoman Lt. Regina Duckett said.

The Experimental Anthropology Lab at the Anthropology Department of the University of Connecticut is directed by Dr. Dimitris Xygalatas. It is dedicated to developing a paradigm for studying human culture scientifically in real-life settings. It promotes methodological innovation and integration in the study of human behavior through a combination of in-depth qualitative field research with experimental methods and advanced technological tools.
Our lab space at UConn's main campus in Storrs is equipped with state-of-the-art technology for conducting controlled experiments as well as developing and scrutinizing tools and methods to be used in the field. Our field site in Mauritius, called the Mauritian Laboratory for Experimental Anthropology (MALEXA), provides an extensive network of local assistants, collaborators, gatekeepers and field sites, and an ideal setting for naturalistic studies, which in turn generate new questions and a need for new methodological tools. The relationship between our lab and field work is thus dynamic and continuous.
As experimental anthropologists, we view experimentation as a method, as an object of study, and as a research aesthetic. Rather than taking subjects out of context and moving them into sterilized laboratory settings where they become "objects" of experimentation, we seek to take the laboratory into context by moving it into the field. Through this combination of anthropological and experimental techniques, experiments become for anthropologists a new form of obtaining data as well as a new way of being in the field, while at the same time allowing them to problematize some of the standard methods used to study behaviour and reflect on their merits, limitations, and ultimately contribute to their refinement and improvement.
Our main areas of focus include human cooperation, religion, ritual, and music.

Hi My name is Philip and I am a serious reader. I dont read stuff like da vinci code but classics and real literature and philosophy. If you like to read good literature and not "airport novels" then please contact me and we can chat. (for example, somebody mentioned pride and prejudice - that's real literature. Angela's Ashes is on the right tracks too, although my favs are poeple like Dostoevsky, Kafka, Oscar Wilde etc).
bye for now

Ralph Owen Slatyer, (born April 16, 1929, Melbourne, Australia—died July 26, 2012, Canberra, Australia), Australian agricultural scientist and academic who was one of his country's most eminent environmental scientists and government advisers, particularly as Australia's ambassador to UNESCO (1978–81), chairman of the World Heritage Committee (1981–83), and the first such adviser to be designated chief scientist (1989–92) by the prime minister. Slatyer's most significant research involved environmental plant physiology, agroclimatological and ecoclimatological models, and plant-water relations, notably in rural northern Australia, where intraseasonal water stress was deemed to be a serious problem. Slatyer grew up in Perth, and after attending prep school he studied agriculture at the University of Western Australia (B.Sc., 1951; M.Sc., 1955; D.Sc., 1960). In 1951 he took a post with the Division of Land Research at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia's national science agency. He later held several other advisory posts and served as professor (1967–92) and director (1984–89) of the Research School of Biological Sciences at the Australian National University, Canberra. Slatyer was named an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in 1982 and was elevated to Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) in 1993.

Do Audi charge UK cars differently to UK Import cars if so why and what is the difference in cost. Do dealers have a price structure that they have to stick to or can they ask what they want?? My warranty runs out in November 04 and I only cover 5k per year in the S3.

Here are some of ways in which you can justify your living alone to yourself and that makes you feel better.
Why You Should Try Living Alone?
1. Ask yourself this simple question; how much time do you spend with yourself? You will realise that you have actually given hardly any time or effort for yourself in your life because you were too busy living for others. You are too busy thinking about what to pack him for lunch to bother about your breakfast and when you are actually alone you are too upset to cook.
2. Being single or committed has nothing to do with this. Every relationship needs space and distance in a relationship makes the heart grow fonder. The only difference is that when you are single you don't have a choice but being committed you are making a conscious decision to be alone.
3. Have you ever wondered why you seem to have left your hobbies behind as you grew up? Maybe you liked to paint as a kid but now you are married and you have to give your 'marriage' time. Use the space in your relationship to develop your long forgotten hobbies.
4. Have you stopped eating pizzas because your partner doesn't like to pizzas? We make these sacrifices and alterations in our life without even realising the gravity of what we have done. You can utilize the distance in your relationship to give yourself a pizza treat once in a month when he is meeting his friends or parents.
5. What do you and your partner fight about? How much time you should be spending with each others families is definitely one of the main bones of contention. Why quarrel about something that can be easily resolved by mutual understanding. You don't have to attend her cousin's wedding if you have work; just stay back alone.
6. Do you feel that people will feel sorry for you if you are living alone? It is a very redundant thought because nobody can feel sorry for you unless you feel sorry for yourself. If you truly relish your hobbies and the pleasure of solitude on your own time then nothing else matters.
These points will give you all the justification you need but it is up to you to use these relationship tips to learn living alone and enjoying your solitude in the end.

Here in the South, Pimento Cheese is an essential- a culinary rite of passage, a dish Paula Deen could whip up with her eyes closed. No matter the occasion, or the season, or the crowd, Pimento Cheese is an appropriate addition to any food spread. It's perfect for football tailgates, cocktail parties or sandwiched between two slices of white bread with the crusts cut off.
Pimento Cheese is the most popular and requested snack at our afternoon Wine and Cheese Reception. We serve our Pimento Cheese as a spread, accompanied by wheat crackers and green olives. (Stack them all together and you have yourself a real treat.) Our Pimento Cheese recipe has been passed down through generations of Kings Courtyard Inn family. In its most recent adaptation, we've added pickled jalapeno peppers and scallions for a bold and spicy punch. The recipe is just as delicious if you're not big on spice. Leave the jalapenos out, and you'll end up with the rich essence of cheddar cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream. Yum.
Our Pimento Cheese recipe calls for just a few ingredients. Its preparation is so simple. You're only 15 minutes away from a crowd pleasing appetizer. The chef recommends trying different variations of this recipe to create your own personal Pimento Cheese blend. Want more spice? Use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar. Need more flair and flavor? Add sun dried tomatoes. There is simply no right or wrong way to make and enjoy Pimento Cheese. What's your favorite preparation?
The Kings Courtyard Inn "Southern Pimento Cheese Spread"
Serves: 10-15 people
Prep Time: 15 minutes
6 cups – Cheddar Cheese
2 cups – Mayonnaise (Dukes is our favorite brand)
1 cup – Sour Cream
1 small can – Pimento Peppers, diced
1 small can – Pickled Jalapeno Peppers, chopped (optional for a spicy kick)
3-4 Scallions, diced (optional for a spicy kick)
Dash of salt and pepper
In a large bowl, combine cheddar cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream. Finely dice pimentos and scallions before adding into the cheese mixture. Mix all ingredients together by hand and add a dash of salt and pepper to taste. If the spread is too thick, add more mayonnaise. If spread is too thin, add more cheese.
For Pimento Cheese Dip: This variation calls for about a half cup less of mayonnaise. All other ingredients remain the same. Combine all ingredients and blend in a food processor before serving for a smoother consistency.
Afternoon wine and cheese receptions are just one of the complimentary amenities we offer at the Kings Courtyard Inn. Consider it a delicious dose of Southern Hospitality. We invite you to be our guest this fall. Check out our special rates and packages for a Charleston getaway.

ESSENDON ruckman Paddy Ryder has dismissed claims the playing group is distracted by the supplements saga, but conceded he was frustrated the issue remained unresolved after 15 months.
The Bombers have struggled, losing three games in a row before racking up scrappy eight-point wins over the Bulldogs and Lions over the past two rounds.
Their poor form has prompted some commentators to suggest the players are distracted, but Ryder disagreed.
"No, (the ASADA investigation) is out of our hands now,'' he said. "We've just got to focus on our footy. There are no excuses.
"You might think about it and stuff like that, but at the end of the day you can't do much about it. But you can do stuff about your footy, so that's where all of our energies are put, and that's our release from it all.''
Ryder said Essendon's acting chief executive officer, Xavier Campbell, had met with the players this week to discuss concerns about a report suggesting ASADA show cause notices were imminent.
"Upstairs is always talking to us and a lot of the stuff that comes out in the papers and that is a lot different to what we know and what we've been told by the people that we trust," Ryder said.
"We've just got to trust the word that we're getting from the footy club and that's the only thing that we can go on.''
"Personally I think it's just dragged on. Another article pops up and it's just the same stuff over and over again. People just keep talking about it and talking about it."
Ryder, who expects to shoulder the bulk of the ruck duties against the Swans tonight, attributed the club's poor form to not doing the football basics.
"The last couple of weeks we've had a couple of wins, but they've been ugly wins really,'' he said. "We've gone away from some of the things we pride ourselves on, really. Contested ball is the one that every team prides itself on and we've been lacking in that area.
"The main thing is we're looking to play a consistent four quarters rather than playing in patches or having a good quarter here and there."

I cashed in 20000 dooyoo points a few weeks ago, they took me 8 months to build up and review. I never received a voucher, nor a response to any emails, their facebook page has no activity and neither does twitter.
I think they have disappeared.
Completely wasted my time and effort. :(
I started using dooyoo a few years ago when I came across the reviews for a product I was considering buying. I then started to write my own, and whilst some of my initial ones were locked for being too basic I got into the hang of a style of writing that hopefully helped other people as their reviews helped me. I really liked the community section, and the whole community people as a whole. A few times people would comment on my reviews or message me. I then became so busy I didn't have any time to write any reviews. I came back a month ago, and am finding the site really rubbish.
Half the links don't work
The help pages don't go anywhere
My miles keep disappearing
Customer support don't want to know
The community section has gone
The community as a whole have gone
The categories have changed
the conclusion of a review is now the title?
the word count is 200-500 words, what happened to the different type of reviews? Like express reviews. Sometimes there isn't 250 words to say about something, and at the other end why is there a word limit of 500 words? Some of the best reviews I have read were in such detail one paragraph would have been 500 words and that would have just been the introduction
I just feel that its gone 'down the pan' somewhat, as though the sites slowly started falling apart and that's made me feel really sad.
What's going on Dooyoo?
When I first started using Dooyoo last May, my reviews were pretty terrible. I was using it as a money making tool, until I was reported and a number of my reviews locked. I remember at the time feeling so annoyed by this, until I took the time to look at what others were writing. A lot of it was fantastic quality and really did help the consumer.
A number of review would start real discussion and often posts were read dozens of times. Members would message me, both two alert me to fraudsters or mistakes, but also just for a chat. If I reviewed a book or a film someone would always message me their thoughts or to ask what else I would suggest.
I don't think we can message anymore.
I have no problem with 'churning' as long as you treat the community with respect and be active in other ways, by reading, commenting and suggesting crowns. If you really enjoy writing reviews, writing five or ten a day is not a hardship, so reading shouldn't be either.
I took some time away. This was partly due to starting a new job and also due to the website revamp. For a few weeks everytime I tried to post it would not work. I was sad to see all my old favourites gone and with that the sense of community. This may be due in part to the lack of profile intros and guides. I also find the community pages slightly harder to navigate. It is now mostly full of faceless churners (in the true sense of he word), and I find this really sad.
Please come back !!
Dooyoo used to be an okay website for earning Amazon vouchers via the penning of reviews. Sadly that all changed on the fated day when the re-design hit. The regulars abandoned the site in droves (even the trolls) due to the plethora of bugs that remain to this day. As an example, when I unsubscribe from alerts I still keep getting them. I email support and post the matter on Facebook to halt the spamming, but I get ignored. It's just like my parents who refuse to shower me with love.
You don't have to be a IT expert to see how broken the new design is. Hearts replacing stars for ratings? How daft and how ironic. I used to love you Dooyoo, but you broke my heart. It's just like that girl I stalked who pepper sprated my eyes :-(
The new layout is hard to read and apparently implemented to make the site more mobile friendly. From what I hear the site is however broken for mobile devices. I cannot confirm those claims as I don't have a mobile phone. I would buy one, but alas Dooyoo refuse to pay out money anymore so I cannot afford a handheld communication device.
It's obvious that the company is bankrupt. Perhaps the redesign was imposed to scare off reviewers. If no one is around to rate articles then no one can make income ergo no need to make payouts. Well played Dooyoo. Well played. You conned us good. As a protest I refuse to buy German sausages or beer. The nation will hit a recession due to your greed.
Admittedly, I have been on and off this site for the past 2 years or so of my membership, and whilst enjoying writing reviews for Dooyoo due to a massive workload I have been unable to for almost a year. :(
Anyway, due to this I might not have got the hang of some new features, so please just bear with me and leave a comment if that is the case.
So let''s begin with the positives. There are many positives to the site, however I am not going to go into them in great detail because most of these are probably very obvious to any members reading this. There is a real, friendly environment to this site, and it gives reliable reviews for products which are very useful for comparison and so on. On more than one occasion I have been moved so much by a review that I have been forced to buy the product, even if it is something that I hadn''t really considered before. Furthermore you get to earn money for writing reviews, something I would do anyway. How much better can it get?
However, now for some feedback and general suggestions. Let''s talk about this new layout. Like I said, I haven''t been on this site for close to a year so I''m not sure when exactly this updating-the-layout happened. For all I know, I could be discussing something hilariously out of date. But to put it quite frankly, I don''t like it.
That might seem a bit harsh, I know. And in some ways it is; after all it makes the site look so much more snazzy and modern. But, and I cannot stress this enough, I preferred the old layout more. Yes, it was simpler and yes, it looked more traditional, but it also was so much easier to navigate. Personal opinion, obviously, but what isn''t is the numerous typing errors found just by looking at the ''My dooyoo'' section. For example: ''Miles Help Statment'' and ''Miles chashed in''. Now these are just small things that can easily be fixed but they are quite an eyesore.
Also, where is the section to see who has read your reviews?
So maybe I am making a big deal out of a few typos and the lack of ease of navigation, which may be due to me having not used the site for so long. But the old layout just seemed more... comfortable, that''s all.
Just some general feedback, and I must stress though this review has been mainly on negatives, I still have great admiration for this site and something as trivial as layout is nowhere near enough to make me even mildly dislike it. I could write pages and pages on positives of dooyoo, but this is more about improving what''s there than stressing the things that have already been done. Nevertheless, keep up the good work! The friendly environment and what the site stands for seems to have remained much the same. There are just a few aesthetic features that should be tended to, that''s all.
Hi all
I'm still relatively new here, I'm still in my first month, although I do have one suggestion of something that could help us.
I would really like a forum on here.... A place where I can post my questions that I have and get answers from the more experienced dooyoo members. I really think that would help us new comers!!
A couple of times I have wondered about something but it is not posted in the help section and so the only option I would have is to email one of the names that I keep seeing pop up out of the blue and ask them randomly - but somehow that just doesn't seem right!!
So yes please. A chat forum where we can help share tips and ideas. I think that would retails help us new dooyooers to benefit from the experience of others
In the absence of this, can someone volunteer please to be the recipient of my random emails?!
For my 300th review here on Dooyoo I thought I'd do something different so here is my 'feedback and general suggestions' review.
I joined the site in April 2012 and have really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed researching and reviewing my perfume collection and I ended up becoming a perfume addict and after a major perfume shopping spree earlier this year I now own over 100 perfumes.
This ended up getting me kicked off the site for a bit as I reviewed so many fragrances and Dooyoo recognised this as unusual consumer behaviour and I had to send them photos of selected perfumes from my collection.
I learnt a lot from using the site. Prior to using the site and reading reviews I didn't have a clue that people buttered the outside of their toasted sandwiches to stop them from sticking to toasted sandwich machines. I never butter the outside of mine and they nearly always come out just fine.
Now for my thoughts...
~~ The Good ~~
~ Layout ~
Although I feel I did get off to a slow start on the site I am now very familiar with the layout and very happy with it.
I would be disappointed if the layout of the site changed as I find it very easy to navigate and find what I want.
~ Messages ~
I think it is good that you can send private messages to other members on the site. I don't do this very often, but if I spot a mistake in someone's review I prefer to tell them by private message as if you have commented on their review, once they have amended their review you cannot delete your comment and other readers will be able to see it when it will be no longer applicable.
I don't mind if people tell me when I have made a mistake in my reviews via the comments box. I hate having mistakes in my reviews and would rather correct them as soon as I can.
~ Community ~
I think the Dooyoo community are a nice, friendly bunch of people. Reading people's reviews you feel like you get to know them a bit better. I have never had any problems with anyone on the site and have often received positive and friendly comments and encouragement on my reviews.
~~ The Bad ~~
~ Suggestions ~
If there is a new product not listed on Dooyoo you can suggest it using the suggestions link, but each week there are only certain categories that you can choose from to suggest new products.
I often find that the category of an item I want to review does not come up for months and months, which can be frustrating.
You are also only allowed to suggest 5 new products each week. This wouldn't be so bad if you could suggest items from any category.
This week I have submitted 5 suggestions, but I had more suggestions to make in the beauty category and if it changes next week so that you can no longer suggest beauty products then I will have to wait until it comes up again before I can suggest those products, by which time I'll probably have more suggestions.
~ Re-rating ~
When someone rates your review and you click on their profile to rate one of their reviews in return there is nothing to indicate which of their reviews you have read and which you haven't and when you have already read 12 different reviews on Carex handwash it is difficult to remember if you have read this member's review of it or not and you often end up clicking on reviews only to find that you have already read and rated them.
On Ciao if you click a members profile the hyperlinks to their reviews are a different colour if you have read them, which would be handy to have here on Dooyoo as well.
~ Levels ~
In recent months the levels that you earn 600 or 300 dooyoo miles for have stayed pretty much the same and many of the categories have gone down to 100 dooyoo miles per review.
It seems to be all of the appliances and larger items that have stayed at level 1, medium purchases at level 2 and everything else at level 3. I think this is fair enough, but it would be nice to know if this will be changing and we will be going back to more frequent level changes or if there will only be occasional level changes from now on. I feel like the dooyoo community are a bit out of the picture with what is going on.
~ Payments ~
It doesn't bother me too much that the minimum cash payout is £50.00, but when you do request it it takes a while to reach your account. I think the site asks you to allow 6 weeks and then to contact dooyoo if you still haven't received payment. I remember one of my first payment requests took 5 weeks and 6 days, which is just within their time frame.
~~ The Ugly ~~
~ Cheats ~
I'm sorry to say that I have seen some dodgy goings on since joining the site.
On one occasion a review was posted not long after I posted a review on the same item (not by a newby either), making 3 of the same points I had made in my review. I thought that maybe I was being paranoid and checked every other review of that product and nobody else had made any of those 3 points about the product.
A close relative of mine used to be on Dooyoo and she told me that she once clicked on 'who has read my reviews' and someone had read her review, which she'd written a few months earlier, but not rated it and then that person had written a review of the item (I think it was an eye shadow) naming the exact same shade that was mentioned in my close relative's review, which could mean the reviewer didn't own the item at all or it could just be a coincidence?
I sometimes read reviews of products I am about to post reviews on, in case I notice anything obvious that I have missed out of my review about the item, but I don't copy and I always rate them even if the members are no longer active on the site.
~ Crowns ~
I must say that I think the quality of writing on Dooyoo seems to have gone up recently, but since I joined Dooyoo I have nominated a few reviews for crowns which have been overlooked.
On one occasion I saw a review crowned, which was posted in the wrong place.
I am not sure how it is decided which reviews receive crowns. I have seen some pretty average reviews receive them, but I often see crown-worthy reviews, which seem to have gone unnoticed.
~ Profile pictures ~
There are a few people who have the same or very similar profile pictures, which I don't think is a good idea. I have also seen some people using similar usernames to each other. I can see why Ciao only allow you to have a photo of yourself as your profile picture.
I like to think that I have built up a good reputation on the site, not just churning out the shortest reviews possible to make as much money as possible in a short space of time, but my profile picture is from google and someone else could easily use it as their profile picture too then they would be seen around the site and people not looking at the username would mistake them for me so they would automatically win the trust that I have earned from other members of the community off the back of my success (not that I'm saying I'm the most successful person on the site, but you see what I mean).
I think that people should earn the respect of other Dooyoo members themselves by writing good reviews and building up their own reputation on the site.
I've been a dooyooer since May, and I've really come to love the site. It's changed my days beyond recognition, I've managed to dump sites I was hooked on which I was pretty much surrendering my brain to (digitalspy the most guilty) and found a site where I can indulge in a passion of mine - writing - and share experiences with like-minded smart people.
Straight away there was a feeling of community on the site, which I felt encouraged to be a part of rather than "the outsider coming in". I started to see miles racking up, my reviews improving, reading stuff I would never have encountered otherwise and never looking back.
As this is a landmark review for me, I thought I'd get a few ideas and thoughts down in this section just for my own indulgence more than anything, but thanks for reading.
1. Level changes going down and down... This has been a feature of the site over the last couple of months. Level 1 now seems to be firmly the domain of technical folk... audio/visual engineers would have a field day writing there. For most of us, once we've reviewed our smartphone and white goods, it's pretty much job done.
I don't mind writing a review for 30p or 10p but the killer comes in the miles awarded for reads. A review of a DVD player or a pair of binoculars would need nearly 50 reads to earn up around the £1 mark, and to write usefully and thoughtfully about those type of items takes serious time... This is where quality of reviews will (and to some extent has - I include myself) inevitably and understandably drop. So right now, I could write a few lines about my cooker hood which I hardly understand and has next-to-no features, and it would be far more beneficial to me than writing a thoughtful review of my kettle which currently resides in level 3.
As this is a suggestions board and not a whingeing board, I suppose I'm supposed to propose what the answer is ..?! Should there be a standard 15 mile read rate across the board so that the variation in size of reward is governed by the write rather than the reads? After all, it takes no more or less time or effort to read about a tin of baked beans than it does about a PA amplifier, and in terms of members (which I understand is the only place the reads awards come from) we will pretty much read anything!
2. Lets get back to something a bit more positive...Bring back Dooyooers of the week! I really liked this little feature. I was mentioned once and it was a real boost. It was a great way of finding new members who were serious about the site, members who'd returned after a break or members I simply hadn't come across before. It also pointed me to some great reviews I might have missed. I wonder why it's been dropped?
3. There must be a way to indicate which reviews we have rated... I see this on most posts on here as well as the MSE board, it seems (to a non-teccy like me) that it should be such an easy thing to add into the site.
4. Updating reviews - I would love to see substantially edited reviews appear on new reviews or at least at the top of a members' home page when they've been amended. How you would define "substantially edited" I'm not sure, I mean I guess if you go back in to correct a typo it will class as "updated", and such a system would be easy to abuse by bumping old non-earning reviews by changing a word or two. My first reviews were pretty shoddy but my dedication to the site doesn't extend to going back to rewrite them as I can't imagine that they'd pick up any reads.
Aside from suggestions, I have a few fantasy ideas which are obviously overly optimistic but what I'd love to happen...
1. Be able to suggest any new product any time
2. More competitions - at least one a month (like the current Hallowe'en one) I love these but unfortunately don't like anthing scary so didn't manage to enter that one!
3. Manage new members. I remember I was one once not so long ago, and it took me a few reviews to get going, so I do like to pop in and rate... but the number of 'first' reviews that get posted that are never going to be paid out on, these should be vetted before reaching the site I think. I have no idea how that would or should be done though!
4. Lower cashout threshold ... I can definitely see the benefits of keeping the first cashout at £50, but a £25 threshold afterwards would keep spirits up at slower times I think. Getting up to £25 would still require dedication and commitment to the site.
I have to say that sitting and thinking about the suggestions I have, the more I think about things that seem obvious to me, I soon start to see that it must be near impossible to avoid things being open to abuse, or things being overly complex or time consuming to implement on a technical level. I do like a whinge (even though I try to remain mostly positive in everything) but I feel bad for coming up with
On the whole my love for dooyoo might be a little bit challenged right now, but it's still there and it's an addiction I'm not looking to get over any time soon.
I love it here, so this is a great opportunity to thank everyone on the site who reads, comments on and nominates my reviews, I hope I suitably return the favours. I know I write a lot, *and sometimes too much* so I really do appreciate everyone's time :-)
I signed up for Dooyoo 2 or 3 years ago, wrote a few reviews and quickly lapsed. I think it possibly had something to do with one of my first reviews being locked and my being unable to find out why. I've now returned to the site after reading positive things about it on an internet forum, and am feeling more determined to overcome the odd little niggle about the site and to give it a real go this time.
One thing that has struck me almost immediately, though, is that the navigation around DooYoo is a little challenging. The review sections on the green bar along the top of the front page don't seem to reflect the many different categories of product reviewed here. I assume these categories are picked for their popularity, rather than because they represent all the content here. So far, I'm having to search for products on a case-by-case basis, rather than navigate to them in any logical way.
The DooYoo Lounge practically requires a trail of breadcrumbs. I can only find it by looking up my own reviews and clicking on ones that I know have been placed in the Lounge. It is a shame, as I think this feature could be much more popular if there was a link to it from our account pages. Perhaps it's just me who can't find many direct links to the Lounge, but it seems to me that there's a great community here but that people may be using their own workarounds to find it!
I am attempting to write this review on my phone. To me, it may look perfect, once published it will probably be all over the place so I shall edit on the laptop tomorrow. This is my first problem with dooyoo. Writing reviews my my mobile is a nightmare. My second problem with dooyoo is reading reviews on my mobile. About 50% of the time I can read and rate as normal, the other 50% of the time I can view half a review and when I scroll down the screen goes blank, meaning I cant read the entire review, cant rate and cant comment. This has happened on more than one phone so I'm thinking its not the phone that's the problem.
The second problem I have is with drafts, I cant find a way to save a draft review until later. I'm not sure if it can be done and I just cant find it.
Next up on my moaning list is photos. I can understand the reasons for not having them. E.g. Who wants to see 215 photos of a bottle of head and shoulders... but certain categories could really benefit from photos. One example being hotels, obviously brochures show the best of the best but consumer photos would be much more useful. Another example being something like hair dye. Of course the girl on the box looks fabulous but what does it really look like?
Another negative is the level changes. Some categories seem to never move to or from level 1 which I think they should, if only for a few days. The suggestions seem a bit strange as well, only allowing you to suggest certain categories. This should also be changed more often.
The catalogue could do with a bit of updating, some of the products in it do not even exist any more. Enough moaning and on to the positives.
Since joining dooyoo, before I purchase anything over a couple of pounds in value I read a review or 2. This has probably stopped me making more than a couple of bad buys.
Next positive, consumer reviews give you invaluable information. Examples? A toy advert isn't going to tell you that Luigi's head will fall off which I found out from Dooyoo, a hotel which is 10m from a beach does not mention in the brochure that its actually a 10m abseil or a 500m walk. I am suspicious of a lot of reviews on travel websites which give lots of 5 star reviews for shocking hotels and restaurants, each review being similar. With dooyoo you know that the reviews are going to be from real people. Lots of useful info and comparisons can be made.
There is also the social side to dooyoo. Its lovely to receive comments on your review and to feel you have helped someone with your comments and advice. Some people leave unnecessarily harsh comments just because they don't agree with you, but an opinion is an opinion and you should respect those of others. I think if you cant say something positive or constructive you shouldn't comment at all.
I think dooyoo is excellent, it has it's faults but overall is a really useful resource for consumers, the rewards and competitions are a bonus too!
Having been a member of dooyoo for three years now, I do really like the site but there are a few aspects which I feel would benefit dooyoo members.
Whilst it is a positive thing that we no longer need to rely on Royal Mail delivering our dooyoo cheques, I do not consider the current bank transfer system to be brilliant. It is stated that payments will be with us within 6 weeks but that doesn't seem to be the case with everyone. If Amazon payments can be initiated weekly then I cannot understand why cash payments take so long?
What would benefit members is to be aware of a cut off date and expected payment day. Over on the other side (Ciao - also owned by the owners of dooyoo) we are aware that we need to apply for payment by the end of the month for us to receive it the middle of next month. I think that would benefit dooyoo members and be, in the long run, less hassle for dooyoo themselves to have a payment structure like this. Surely it would be easier to do one payment run at the same time each month. At the moment it is impossible to predict when we will receive payments and we certainly cannot rely on them for special occasions.
~Have I Read This?~
I'm sure we have all been there. We wish to return a rate to a member and open their latest review, read it and then discover we have already rated it. It isn't possible for everyone to remember every review they read. It would be easier for some sort of indicator to be present at the side of the review - perhaps a star or something? This would save time!
I don't think that I am the only one who isn't impressed with the suggestions arrangement. Reducing from 20 per week to 5 per week was an annoyance but we coped but it has become far too limiting only being allowed to suggest products in a certain amount of categories per month. I believe at the start that we were told that all categories would have a chance but the food category hasn't EVER been up for suggestion which is rather disappointing. Sometimes we go months for the some categories to be up for suggestions including Travel, UK Travel, books and House (this hasn't been up for months and has now been split away from Garden).
How is this fair? It has put a lot of members off writing as they can no longer suggest in their favourite categories. The newest products aren't being suggested. New films at the cinema cannot be suggested until the film category is up for suggestion. I can't think of any member who is pleased by this way of doing things so why keep doing it? If there does have to be limitations, this should be equally split between the categories in my opinion. I would suggest either rotating one half the database categories one month with the other half the following month or perhaps even every fortnight. We should be allowed to review what we want in my opinion.
I'm not sure who really works out the crowns on dooyoo but it is becoming more evident that excellent reviews are being ignored in favour of average reviews. I feel some categories are favoured over others. In my opinion, Travel/UK Travel is badly ignored and often the best reviews are from these categories. Often it seems that it is who you know and get on with that how good your review is. I know that may offend but I feel the crown system is flawed and could be much fairer.
I do have other opinions on certain aspects of the way dooyoo is run but will leave it at this as I may end up speaking out of turn. I enjoy using dooyoo but not as much as I used to. Too much has changed and not really for the better.
Thanks for reading
Hi,There seem to be a lot of categories missing in the product suggestion choices. For instance, there are reviews of some products in Fashion and Beauty. Yet, when I wanted to suggest a particular Nicky Clarke clipper model because it was missing, I was unable to as Fashion and Beauty are not in the list of categories that can be chosen from. This is a bit frustrating. Do you think it could be widened a bit to include more categories? Apart from that, I enjoy being a Dooyoo member and keep up the good work Dooyoo!!!
I recently purchased an iPad, I would write a review but I'm not very technical so I won't. I also have an iPhone and I am just addicted to the apps.
I write a majority of my reviews on my iPad, instant spell check nicer usage, it just makes sense. But to write reviews on dooyoo when on the iPad I have to use safari, keep zooming in and out, signing in every five minutes and the overall way round is rubbish. (Just to point out I am more than happy with the online version on a laptop). I think it would be brilliant if dooyoo had an app in the app store (possibly free) that you could download and use on phones and tablets ect. This gives you the freedom to write when out and about with great ease and I think the layout would be easier on an app than on the tablet internet. I love dooyoo and I think that so many others would if they knew about it so I think if there was an app more people would download it and sign up.
I know this review is short but there's not a lot to say and I dont want to babble on, I just thought I'd get my point out there. Thankyou
Today an email informed me that I had received a comment on a review I wrote ten years ago. The nice caseybrady had left me a humorous few words which had me spending a pleasant five minutes re-reading previous comments from my friends of that day. I was also left mulling over how things have changed since then on dooyoo.
My review of that day (we called them "ops" then for "opinions") stated that apart from my guidey duties I had seriously considered giving dooyoo a rest. The reason was that Aurora, the then new face of the site, was a disaster. It was not always possible to log on, even after waiting 60 seconds to load, or to rate ops. Members' literary offerings could only be accessed sporadically and it became a chore to take part. I then went on to give all the community reasons why I had changed my mind.
After all this time I smiled and thought, "Did I really write that?" I then began to mull over the site today and the fact that I only have one gripe, but it is a frustrating one.
After an absence of some 7 years, I have in my opinion returned to a much easier dooyoo. Logging on happens in a trice, any queries for the team are responded to and we seem to be kept up to date with things. Of course, after all this time IT itself has moved on, which helps. The Community Page is lively and the interaction between members and dooyoo seems pretty constant. The new reads keep coming and there is a pleasantly busy air about the front page. I was delighted to find that the Community is still alive and well and, having been welcomed back by old friends, I am now making new. However, and it is a big "however", there is one change which frustrates the reviewer.
Back in the day a category would be requested and, if agreed, placed on the site in order that a new product could be reviewed by an enthusiastic member. There were times when a little fiddling around would find a cat that would somehow suit and permission (generally granted) asked to use that one. I found pretty quickly this time round that a list of cats for new products is listed on the community page each month. That is it! We cannot request a new item during that month if it does not fall within the list. I am informed that requesting an addition will not result in agreement and that it has been tried. I have a review which has been waiting since before the beginning of last month for a new food item. I have another which has me hoping that next month's list will permit me to apply for a new cat so that I can post in House and Garden. In the meantime I am writing "fillers" to keep my hand in as well, of course, as reading and rating others' work.
I dare say that dooyoo have a reason for this state of affairs. I presume that they want to keep things channelled in some way. Possible for advertisers? Would it really disturb things to relax the New Products list in order to encourage members to review stuff they want to rather than looking around for anything- will-do to write about?
Should you agree with me, do comment so that the nice people at dooyoo HQ may have a little re-think.
NB this is in the wrong cat as I have used up all the other ones
I have been exploring the dooyoo site for 6 months now and i have a number of suggestions for the site. These are just things that will make life easier or help me with my Dooyoo reviews
> DooyooMiles History (Breakdown of earnings)
The amount of times i wonder "what has made my dooyoo miles go up so much?" and the confusion as to what review it has come from i thought to myself i need a breakdown page of where earnings are coming from. A table of my reviews and how much each review has earned me. This would give me better access to see what earns me the most miles, and avoid confusion.
> Save to your favourites or "Review Later" list
I write down or bookmark stuff to review, so a favourites or review later page would be much neater and easy to access.
> Allow more than 1 review for the "General" category
I can find a million things to talk about but only 1 thing to post in the general category, if this is not possible, see my next suggestion.
> My most wanted suggestion: Custom Archive Reviews (Free reviews for dooyoo, more stuff for me to talk about)
If we can create any topic in the Archive, dooyoo will recieve free reviews for stuff and we will be able to write about anything and everything. Say for example i want to write about some new government legislation, a current law recently implimented etc, i would love to write about that sort of thing and it would be great to just see something on the news and pick up the keyboard and write my opinion about it.
> Alert when a new review comes avaliable for a product you want to buy
This could be dooyoo mail or email, whichever you prefer. If i want to buy a product that hasn't been reviewed yet on the Dooyoo site, an alert for this product could be ready to notify me instead of constantly checking the page.
> More emailed gift cards
I would like to recieve iTunes gift Cards, microsoft points and such. But also online store cards for places that deliver like next, very etc.

Eat Rite Everyday
So honestly how many of yall eat perfect everyday?? I prob only eat perfect 4-5 days a week, w/ no slip ups. And usually Sat or Sun i dont take in all my protein :( I have a weakness for energy drinks and beer. And i sleep in to often on Sat and miss a meal or 2......Am i the only one, is everyone else disciplined enough, or do u sound a little like this?
not a super legit question, just curious :biglaugh:
I cheat once a week Sundays where I go out with my girl for dinner... other then that its all about repetition. I make the same meals for a week then switch it up the next so that I don't get tired of eating it.
i think thats where i get into trouble, not planning meals far enough in advance, i run out of food alot of times and resort back to milk and peanut butter sandwiches.....
I am pretty much in the same boat, I eat pretty much the same stuff at the same time of day everyday durring the week. I find that my cheat days, which are saturday and sunday, end up netting less calories then regular days, even though I eat some shitty foods on those days.
i usually only have one cheat meal a week, so i make it a good one.
Now that I'm at college it's way easier to stay perfect. My fridge is stuffed with grilled chicken from the cafeteria. I just have that and pasta/rice all the time with lots of water. I love it. I cheat occasionally - it is college - but mostly I've been staying way cleaner and I feel so much better for it. I hit a new PR today in my first WO since I got here, ha!
I didn't want to open a new thread, so hopefully some people will read this....im 180 lbs about 5' 10 and trying to bulk and get strong as possible....i have built a decent base, but i have never seriously logged or documented my food untill about a month ago i've been averaging around 3,000 Cals//300 gr Protein//100 carbs and 120 g Fat
my fat is mostly from peanuts, penut butter, eggs, and beef....
and 50 of my carbs are from the 4 peices of bread i eat everyday...
does that sound decent to you guys?
^^^^^ on the days i do eat rite that is :arg: but im working on that!

Have you ever looked at an ad for a plane and said I want that, but you have no idea what the appeal is? Well when I saw the Hobby-Lobby Cobweb II I had to have it. Maybe it was the idea of flying around at walking speed with a string holding the dihedral in the wing, or the mickey mouse ears for tail surfaces, or maybe just the pure simplicity of it. I just had to have it.
Opening the box, I looked at the round tipped wing and round tails. "Too cool," I thought to myself.
Then I opened the bag that contained the hardware and manual. To say the manual leaves something to be desired is an understatement. I think most experienced modelers will be able to navigate the instructions not because they are ok but because the simple design of the airplane needs very little information to figure out.
I am going to give just a few pointers to make the instructions clearer.
Mounting the motor:
Inserting the carbon gear legs and carbon wing supports:
Main wing: When you attach the hook to the wing strings make sure the wing does not have any twists.
Radio gear installation:
Building conclusion: The instructions were confusing, with a lot of blank spots and holes, but anyone that has built a plane or two will likely be able to figure it out.
What a joy to fly! This little bird is surprisingly maneuverable, and yet easy, with no surprises. Whenever the wind is calm I find myself picking this plane up just to float around the sky. It's great indoors, or in a calm wind -- up to about 5 mph it did great; over that took the fun out of the CobWeb for me. I would expect that the infield of a baseball diamond would provide plenty of room for a newer pilot. A good pilot could easily fly the CobWeb in half that area.
Absolutely! In the right set up, this is an ideal first airplane...easy to assemble, soft controls but not so sleepy as to cause trouble, crash resistant, and with great recovery.
Self Correction: With the CG stock and 3 degrees of down thrust...I put the plane in a steep dive, power off, and let go of the sticks -- a common beginner situation. The model recovered to upright, but actually over-recovered, going nose high and requiring me to push her nose down and/or add power to keep flying. At this CG/thrust, the little plane also has a pitch up with an increase in speed (diving). Moving the CG forward slightly and adjusting the thrust to 4 degrees diminished these issues significantly.
Roll recovery: Another common beginner issue -- model is banked hard, and pilot lets go of the sticks, unsure what to do. No problem! The shape and dihedral of the wing make the roll recovery almost instant. The light weight eliminates stalls.
Slow flight: The ideal way for a beginner to learn, with things moving along slowly and easily, not rushed. This plane excels at slow flight. Very stable yet still very maneuverable. Ideal for the beginner, or for just having fun on a lazy afternoon. It is slow enough, I would expect that a beginner could fly it in a ball field.
CG: At the stock CG, the model has a bad pitch up with power, and is a bit overly responsive. Definitely not the ideal setup for a beginner.
I moved the CG forward 1 from the recommended 50% CG and that was too far forward. The plane required too much positive elevator trim to maintain level flight. This made the plane feel sluggish.
The CG set ½ forward of the 50% CG seemed perfect. This made the plane climb a bit under full power but doing the dive test the plane would pull out slowly. This allows the CobWeb to fly in trim over a broader speed range.
Thrust Angle: I did not try adjusting my model's thrust angle because I attached the motor mount to the boom so well that I could not easily break it loose. I would like to see 3-4 degrees of down thrust. I think with the CG ½ in front of the 50% and 3-4 degrees down thrust, the plane would be even more beginner friendly.
We had a SUPERB time using the cobweb for a flight demonstration at a local elementary school as a part of the SAE-WIM Program where 4th and 5th grade school students are given a fictitious assignment of designing a toy for a toy company. What better way to give them a real-world experience than bring in an honest-to-goodness former toy designer and toy test pilot to show them about flying model airplanes???
The cobweb was ideal for this job -- lazy, easy, sleepy, very safe and comfortable feeling inside the small gym, yet more than interesting enough for these youngsters. Former Great Planes model designer Mike Cross recalled to the students that the first time HE saw a model airplane fly was in elementary school, and he thought he'd never be able to afford one. "Maybe today I've sparked the interest for this great, life long hobby in one of these kids," Mike comments afterward to a teacher.
Fellow modelers, want to do something really great? Contact your local elementary school. Ask them if they're involved in World of Motion, a Society of Aeronautical Engineers national program. And find out if YOU could be a volunteer to help. If they aren't, they still would likely LOVE to have you come to the school and do an assembly and demonstration to the students about model aircraft. DARE programs LOVE to have modelers be involved and help show these kids some more productive ways to spend their time.
This is a fun plane to fly. It looks cool, is easy and just a good time. It's ideal for a beginner and long term modeler alike...even an aerobatic junky like me! The instructions are lacking, but hopefully the info above is helpful for you when you, like me, decide you simply HAVE to have this cute little aircraft!
Regarding storage in your car all day at work, Hobby Lobby says that a lightweight little model like this shouldn't be stored in a closed up vehicle for any length of time.
|Thread Tools
Appears to be a job well done! Who knows how many young minds have caught the RC fever? It would sure be a shot in the arm for RC and the AMA if demonstrations such as this caught on nationwide. The plane chosen was certainly up to the task; just about perfect for a safe and exciting experience for the children.
Cobweb instructions
Hobby Lobby informed me that new Cobweb kits will ship with much improved instructions and photos for building it.

Cobweb instructions
I bought Cobweb II from Germany. In addition to 285 Euros I payed about 60 Euros German tax.
I am not able to assemble this plane.
Boreholes of the motor does not fit to the boreholes of the plane.
Instructions for connecting LiPoly Charger, Motor Controller, Battery Pack etc. are not available.
Addition instructions of Mike Cross were helpfull. But in his pictures there were elements that were not delivered to me.
Help available? Or give it away?

I got mine today and the instructions are trash! Any way i can look at my Slow Jazz and kinda get the idea of how it goes together. Anyway I opened the box,grabbed the fuselage and noticed that at the factory they drilled the hole in the wrong place then drilled another, than another,thus splitting the carbon fiber! I notified where i bought it for a replacement. I cant even build it till I get that piece.
From where did you buy your Cobweb?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Yep. That's why we included it. REALLY shows how quiet, how unoffensive this sweet little bird is in the air. What a joy to fly. Of course, our horses are used to at least some model flying, although usualyl around the other side of the house. But this thing made essentially no noise, drew no attention. And 2 of the horses out there have NOT seen a model fly around here before, I dont think, and they still barely cared. Far as I can tell, they thought it was some odd sort of bird....
Mine came with a tail wheel. Yet there seems to be no way to attach it- and no instructions. Also, how is the rudder fastened? Is the tail wheel somehow supposed to attach to the rudder?? If anyone can clue me in I'd appreciate it.
The kit seems OK - but couldn't they find anyone who knows how to write a manual in Korea??? My 7-year-old could have done a better job!
please help
The cobweb is a wonderful little plane. Unfortunately I had the opportunity of learning what happens when you point the transmitter at the plane which is pointing at me. The elevator suddenly pitched up and dove straight into the ground. This broke the main carbon fiber tube right in front of the place where the front wing support and two landing struts enter the main tube. You can get an idea of what I'm talking about in the Assembly section above. The picture of the ESC shows the connectors and actually the place that the main stick broke. The front part of the cf tube is shattered and would take a lot of ca and thread to stick back together. I'm now looking for a source of the little connectors that connect the support rods to the wing rib and main stick. Or alternative construction techniques for joining solid carbon fiber rods into carbon fiber tubes. The connectors slid onto the ends of the cf rods and then had two ears that went around the cf tube. The cf rod could go up through the connector and into the tube. These joints are all 90 degrees, or the rod comes out of the tube at a right angle. All of the connectors in the plane are broken, or so solidly glued that I'm not going to be able to debond them, so I need some replacements.
Thanks in advance

Sadly, that is true of all models, that your least effective communication is when the antenna is pointed straight at the model, and the model pointed straight at the antenna, so that you've got signal radiating out the side of hte radio and received at the sides of the model.
Have you contacted Hobby Lobby to see if they might have a suggestion? Otherwise, this is a very inexpensive cute little plane, I'd suggest it might be easier to start fresh than to try to repair that much damage?
I bought this thing. My box came missing the parts bag. No problem Hobby Lobby shipped the parts out asap (geat cust service)
Began assembly ......the wing strut holes are so misaligned on the main spar that I have come to a halt...the wing would be so tweaked as to make the thing unflyable
shame on me for not "trial fitting" them first and checking for alignment...have the mis-aligned one solidly glued in place
when I installed the landing gear the forward landing gear strut did not leave enough room for the forward wing mount support on the spar...
two choices drill a new hole closer to the motor plate or carve up the plastic support clip so it'll fit in front of the forward landing gear
this is not a precision kit...bring an exacto with fresh blades, a drill to correct or make new holes in the main spar and trial fit everything before gluing anything
Actually it not the shrinkage that breaks the carbon but the carbon itself that breaks do to the over bend of the material and the change in temp. If you take the covering off and change the temp quikly it will break just the same.
Fellow Flyers,
I just bought my Cobweb from Hobby Lobby the friday after Thanksgiving but haven't had the time to start building it, In planning ahead I need to know the most sucessful/economical electronics to use from motor to servos. Anybody got experienced info??

|Agne Cerneckyte paced Lithuania with a game-high 14 points
On the final day of Classification Group G action at the U20 European Championship Women, Lithuania led from start to finish to defeat winless Hungary 48-44.
Lithuania allowed only one field goal in the first quarter, opening a 19-2 lead after 10 minutes.
The Hungarians slowly got closer as the game progressed, and cut the deficit to four (46-42) with a minute-and-a-half remaining, but that was as close as they could get.
In the first half Lithuania held a 17-2 advantage in second chance points, which helped them build the lead they later preserved.
Agne Cerneckyte led in victory with 14 points, Ieva Preskienyte scored 12, while Vita Zilinskaite grabbed 14 rebounds along with her eight points.
Vivien Böröndy scored 12 for Hungary.

Favourite Things: iPhone 5 cases
by Amy Cutmore • September 21, 2012 • Whats New
Happy iPhone 5 day! I must admit, I haven't been the giddy ball of excitement that I usually am come an Apple unveiling. Perhaps I'm just sulking because they've changed the 30-pin dock connector to a smaller 19-pin design, rendering my poor old iPhone dock obsolete. Damn those fruity folk.
But no matter – I'm still 80% sure I'm going to get one when my phone contract expires in December. Well, how could I resist that powerful A6 chip that means the new iPhone will do everything at Speedy Gonzales pace, or the sexy 4-inch, crystal-clear Retina Display screen. With that in mind, I've picked out some of the latest cases that will mean my iPhone is always the best dressed…
Clockwise from right: Chevron case for iPhone 5, £19.99, Griffin Technology; kickBACK sport, £TBC, Scosche; EaseFit Armband, £19.95, Belkin; Grizzly, £24.99 (available soon), Case Mate; Icon Haven Case, £19.95, Cygnett
I'm loving the grizzly bear, and think Belkin's case would do a fine job of protecting my new phone from yucky sweat on those rare occasions when I hit the gym. Hmmm, but I think the kickBACK sport from Scosche might be the most practical. I'd love to know which one is your favourite. C'mon, don't be shy – you know where the comments box is!Read more →

Here I go again: The eating extravaganza that started with leftover Halloween candy has given way to another New Year's resolution to lose weight.
You've undoubtedly guessed how this story usually ends. Aside from an isolated few years of extreme fitness, I've ranged from chubby to fat my entire adult life.
But this time might be different. I've enlisted behavioral economics, along with the disruptive powers of the Internet, in my annual quest for lasting willpower.
Economists have shown for decades that changing incentives can reshape an astonishing array of human behaviors from suicide to childbirth.
Lately medical researchers have been using the "prospect theory" of Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman to test whether financial incentives might improve health interventions such as weight loss and quitting smoking. The results are impressive.
A 2008 study by Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania found that dieters given carefully designed financial incentives were nearly five times more likely to hit a goal and lost three times as much weight as those with the same coaching but no money at stake. A similar experiment tripled the number who quit smoking.
And a Mayo Clinic study last year showed money could produce lasting weight loss.
Researchers found success by combining fear of losses with the prospect of a jackpot. In the 2008 study, participants wagered up to $336 each. If they missed their goal, they lost the cash. But they got triple their deposit if they reached the goal.
Such results quickly became a business model. The HealthyWage.com website allows people to bet varying amounts on weight-loss goals for customized jackpots.
"Skin in the game is important, because you are more motivated by losing money than winning money," said Healthywage CEO David Rodenberry in an interview last week.
This quirk of human nature is precisely what Kahneman found in a series of ingenious experiments since the 1970s: We tend to feel the pain of losing more acutely than the pleasure of winning.
In one example, he showed that people would rather avoid losing $50 than chance winning $50, even when the risk is the same.
People would also rather get $50 than gain $100 and then lose $50, even though the result is identical.
Prospect theory explains why investors hold losing stocks for too long, hoping they will come back, and sell winners too soon.
Kahneman is also an expert on procrastination and laziness, noting that people eventually gravitate to the least demanding course of action.
This is where I come in.
As a former high-school athlete, I've known forever that there are only three ways to lose weight: eat less, exercise more, or preferably both.
Yet I've consistently chosen option four, which usually involves buying a gym membership and the latest diet book, along with a decision to work out and eat less sometime in the future.
Now, with a body mass index of 31, I fit the medical definition of obese. I have company; one-third of Americans are obese and another third are merely overweight, placing us at higher risk for early death from leading killers such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Money isn't generally the problem: Americans spent $61.6 billion in 2012 trying to lose weight, according to market researcher John LaRosa of Marketdata Enterprises.
This giant industry is going through a rough transition as people gravitate toward free websites and smartphone apps such as MyFitnessPal.
Carlsbad-based Jenny Craig, which sells coaching and prepared meals to dieters, was sold last month to a private equity fund by its owner, the international food giant Nestle, after several years of disappointing financial performance.
Weight Watchers International suspended its dividend in October to save cash amid falling sales and revenues. Its stock is down 38 percent this year. (Full disclosure: I bought stock in the company in August.)
Even anti-obesity drugs have turned in disappointing sales, although investors remain hopeful that blockbusters will emerge from companies such as San Diego's Arena Pharmaceuticals or Orexigen.
On the other hand, local companies catering to people who enjoy working out have done well by adapting to shifting consumer preferences. Jazzercise CEO Judi Sheppard Missett recently reported record annual sales of $100 million for the Carlsbad franchise operator, which has been holding fitness classes since 1969.
You may see me in a Jazzercise class next year. In the meantime, I've put money on the table with Healthywage.
The company's BMI Challenge requires me to wager $300 in return for $1,000 if I shrink by this time next year to a BMI of 25 — the maximum weight considered healthy by government experts.
In other words, I'll get my $300 back, plus $700. If I don't hit that goal, I lose my $300.
Aside from Kahneman, my inspiration is Eric O'Riley, an information technology worker from Mira Mesa who "won" $300 this year by losing 10 percent of his body weight in a separate Healthywage program.
"Definitely the incentive helps," O'Riley said. "You are less likely to cheat when you have a couple bucks riding on it."
Rodenberry, the Healthywage CEO, told me his program is legal because it's a contest and not a gamble. Clients verify their weights with video uploads or forms from a doctor or gym trainer.
Under the federal Affordable Care Act, companies next year will be permitted to spend up to 50 percent of their health insurance premiums on outcome-based wellness incentives.
In a 2011 paper in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers argued that most of these programs won't work, because various regulations and tax considerations will discourage employers from using the kinds of lotteries and win-lose incentives that help people the most.
With my wager placed, I remain hopeful. As always, I want to be healthy, feel better and live longer. But this year I'm also greedy.

The Stormont department which runs the Executive is unable to say who enforces the ministerial code.
The Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM) has failed to respond to a News Letter request for clarity on who rules on potential breaches.
It is understood that others who have recently attempted to establish who enforces the code have also encountered difficulties.
The issue comes to light after a cross-party Stormont committee ruled that Social Development Minister had deliberately misled the Assembly about his meeting with a firm that has links to the DUP.
The code incorporates the seven principles of public life.
The ruling that Mr McCausland deliberately misled MLAs — something he denies — would appear to raise questions about whether the minister has broken the sixth principle of public life that "holders of public office should be truthful".
On Wednesday, the News Letter asked OFMDFM one question — who decides whether the ministerial code has been broken? A press officer phoned back to say that it may be the Assembly. However, the Assembly made clear that was not the case, as the code was an Executive matter.
Yesterday the News Letter reminded OFMDFM that the query had not been answered. By last night, our call had not been returned.
It is common for OFMDFM to simply ignore media requests when Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness cannot agree on an answer. It is unclear whether that is what lies behind this latest refusal to answer a simple question.
The DUP has dismissed the Committee for Social Development's 1,000-page report into one of the allegations made against Mr McCausland in a BBC Spotlight programme last year. DUP MP Sammy Wilson has described the report — which found that Mr McCausland had altered documentation to conceal the fact that he had met with the company — as "a discredited political witch-hunt and a waste of time and money".
But last night the former veteran Stormont minister Lord Empey said that he believed any Stormont minister could ask the Attorney General to examine the case.
The former Ulster Unionist minister said that he believed that they would be able to ask the Attorney General, John Larkin QC, to look at Mr McCausland's conduct and advise them whether, if they were to be accused of what he was accused of, they would be in breach of the code.
The peer said that he believed the chairman of the DSD committee, Alex Maskey, could also probably ask the Attorney General for a verdict on the minister's conduct.

It is optimum to have the minimum number of in auspicious Yogas in a Kundali. In the same way, it is best to have the maximum number of auspicious Yogas in a Kundali. The more the number of auspicious Yogas, the more wealth and contentment is received by the person. A high number of auspicious Yogas even cancel the effects of inauspicious Yogas. One such auspicious Yoga is Garuda Yoga.
Garuda Yoga is formed if a person is born in daytime when the moon is in shukla paksha and moon is in an exalted position in the Navamsa Chart A person born in this Yoga is usually spiritual, soft-spoken, polite, powerful and determined. Such a person usually has few enemies as they are scared of him. Poisonous substances are very dangerous to such people.
Chandradhi Yoga is formed with the presence of Moon and three other planets. Due to the presence of auspicious planets, Chandradhi Yoga gives positive results. According to another argument, this Yoga is formed with the presence of Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. Mercury should be present in sixth, Venus in seventh and Jupiter in eighth for the successful formation of this Yoga.
Chandradhi Yoga is formed with the presence of auspicious planets in the sixth, seventh and eighth house from the moon. A person born in this Yoga is usually highly ranked in government offices. This Yoga makes a person excel in any competition and makes him tackle the most difficult situations with ease.
The fruits of any yoga are obtained when the native undergoes the dasha of the connected planets in the Yoga. The benefits of any auspicious Yoga are received by a person with time according to the positions of related planets. It is sometimes possible that a person born with Raj Yoga etc but is not able to receive any benefits due to different positions of other planets.
If all the planets are present in the 10th house or the 11th house, or Lagna or 7th House, then Karika Yoga is formed. A person born in this Yoga excels even if he is dishonourable. He excels in any field that he works in.
If Karika Yoga is formed in the eleventh house, then the person receives help in the matters of income. A person excels in his career is this Yoga is formed in the tenth house. A person receives health benefits if this Yoga is formed in the ascendant.
Marital benefits and benefits related to business are received if this Yoga is formed in the seventh house.
The presence of this Yoga helps a person in being a good leader. As per the name says, such a person is able to move forward leading others onto the right path.
If all the cruel planets are present in the eighth house and all the soft planets are in the ascendant, the Dhwaja Yoga is formed. Sun, Rahu, Ketu, Saturn and Mars have been said to be cruel planets here whereas all the other planets are considered soft.
A person born in this Yoga possesses the qualities of a leader and is a leader of his group. He is also a good actor. Such a person is the centre of attraction wherever he is present. This Yoga is related to success. A person receives benefits due to the presence of this Yoga. Such a person also receives health benefits and lives a long life.

Original Press Release
BINDER KT 115 Refrigerated Incubator Provides Accurate, Secure Conditions
Press release date: Oct 23, 2012
BOHEMIA, N.Y. – The new BINDER Inc. KT 115 refrigerated incubator utilizes energy-efficient, state-of-the-art Peltier refrigeration technology to provide secure, accurate control. With comprehensive program functions, the unit offers a wide range of capabilities for incubating biological materials and guarantees reproducible results.
Functional chamber volume is 3.7 cu.ft. (104 liters), and the unit can run at temperatures down to 4°C. In contrast to a compressor, the Peltier technology, which is used exclusively for cooling, is vibration free and significantly reduces energy consumption. Conventional heating technology extends the operating life of the device, which can be conveniently decontaminated at its 100°C maximum temperature.
Proven APT.lineTM preheating chamber technology ensures homogenous temperature conditions, as well as rapid heating and recovery times. Horizontal airflow from both sides of the chamber provides uniform tempera-ture distribution, even when the unit is fully loaded. Temperature, set digitally, is accurate to a tenth of a degree and ensures effective and gentle incubation.
State-of-the-art rotary pushbutton input and graphic LCD display are used to easily set the most demanding programs in English, French or Spanish. The controller accommodates up to 10 different users, each having up to 10 stored programs. The controller's USB interface can be used to transfer data to a PC for BINDER APT-COM™ software analysis. To ensure smooth operation, the controller has a key lock and is password protected.
"The KT 115 successfully addresses all aspects of innovative refrigerated incubator design," said Uwe Ross, president, BINDER Inc. "World-renowned German engineering maximizes available space, minimizes energy consumption, provides high reliability and consistency, delivers an easy to use, clear user interface and allows easy cleaning and decontamination."
Interior layout offers more specimen storage space for given chamber volume. Very tight door seal with two-point door closure increases efficiency. Heat dissipation is low due to two-inches (60 mm) of insulation. Interior cham-ber is condensation-free.
Available options include access ports, shaker platform, interior power socket, outputs, shelves, door heating and interior lighting. Easily removable elements and no permanent fixtures mean that cleaning is fast and simple.
About BINDER

Man Sets Wife on Fire at Gas Station [VIDEO]
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole ordeal involving a husband and wife at a gas station in Atlanta, Georgia. While pumping gas this guy pulls out a lighter (not sure if he was actually lighting a smoke) and lights it up causing gas fumes to ignite. Then the man pulls out the gas nozzle and throws it, this caused the man's wife to go up in flames. It's hard to tell if this was an accident or if it was intentional. There is now a warrant out for the husband's arrest.

BAREFOOT ON HOLY GROUND: Twelve Lessons in Spiritual Craftsmanship
Karpinski (Where Two Worlds Touch), a spiritual teacher and counselor, offers a basic introduction to spirituality that will prove serviceable for those with no background in New Age thought but unenlightening for readers with any amount of experience. As this is a beginner's handbook, Karpinski deals with the "big issues": knowledge, revelation, discernment, body, love, will, faith, power, creating, transforming, enduring and serving. Karpinski's scholarship is sometimes sloppy, as when she claims that the Bible calls the Holy Spirit "the Light Body," or when she begins spiritual anecdotes with urban-legendish introductions about how a business consultant, family physician or art therapist told her that a particular inspirational story was true. The book has a glaring lack of primary sources, and too many of Karpinski's true-story examples are culled from daytime television talk shows, with Oprah Winfrey being the guru of choice. On the positive side, Karpinski writes with evident passion, gathering spiritual wisdom from many traditions, religions and teachers, including her own journey. Her application exercises are practical and thorough, even for readers who are not of a New Age bent. Still, the book's weaknesses far outweigh its strengths. In the crowded arena of New Age spirituality primers, this has few original insights to offer. (Apr.)
