There is a design fault in the glass doors, as I found out when it shattered after just 2 or so years of using the oven, also the element has gone twice in 12months. Terrible ovens wouldnt buy one. It was already built into the kitchen when i bought my brand new house 4 an a half years ago.
Same as member Gmac - I'd just popped a meatloaf into the oven, sat down at the kitchen table to surf some more web and BANG! the oven outer door shattered all over the kitchen floor. This is also a new estate, and the oven had only been in use for just under two years. The replacement part is a stonking two hundred quid. The gas fitter who inspected our boiler earlier this year also found a leak on the Whirlpool hob - admittedly very minor, but on a virtually new fitting? I'm now looking at pushing the boat out a little and getting something of superior quality installed. Bosch, probably - it'll go with my power tools ...
Anyway, apart from that, it's pretty versatile, having a bunch of modes of operation: fan oven, warm oven, grill, fan plus grill (for pizzas - nice) and just the light for when the wife's - sorry, for when I'm - cleaning it. Two shelves, four positions, covering all the usable space. The oven thermostat is useless but if you haven't got an oven thermometer then you've no business being in the kitchen anyway. It showed a marked reluctance to get to the higher temperatures, however (> 200 C). Lowest temperature is 50 C, which is useful for melting your best mate's priceless vinyl records but not much else. The oven temperature seemed pretty stable, though, and my cakes and roasts generally came out the way I expected them to. If left on for more than a couple of hours, it turns itself off, which is nice from a safety perspective but didn't do a lot for my rice puddings.
The inside gets about as mucky as you'd expect and the self-cleaning sides are a bit less self-cleaning than I'd like, although they do come out fairly easily for manual cleaning. The oven floor would benefit from the use of a liner as it's NOT self-cleaning and doesn't come out (it's essentially integral) - use a sheet of aluminium foil, folded over, or a separate liner (Lakeland sell them).
I can't speak for the longevity of the thing, I'm afraid, but it shows no signs of deterioration apart from the vacant space where the outer glass door use to be. I'm awarding a low mark for quality purely on that basis, but otherwise think I'd be safe giving it three stars.
UPDATE: I've just spoken to our neighbour who had the same problem and she mentioned that Barratts have an arrangement to provide an automatic 2-year guarantee for the appliances they install. We're just inside that limit, and the engineer is calling on Monday. Woot! This is the Big Society at work! I'll now be saving up for a Bosch instead of buying one straight away. The Whirlpool service centre contact didn't actually confirm that this is a common problem, but her tone of voice gave me the impression it was - perhaps we could all start a club? Of course, if they've fixed the problem on their doors, I'll happily continue to use it for ever and a day. I'm also aware that around the first anniversary of our guarantee registration, Whirlpool sent us a letter offering extended warranty insurance. Taking that up would have meant we'd have paid for something we had no need of. I wonder if Whirlpool's business model is less about selling appliances than it is about selling insurance and replacement parts. I'm just saying.
Had this item for two years after moving into a new house. It was rarely used and looked stylish until the front glass door shattered after being closed, after checking on the internet the glass door appears to be a common problem. Being a new housing development some of our neighbours have also had the front glass door shatter, at first I though it was my wife being unusally heavy handed but on closer inspection I discovered the metal handle was screwed from behind and through the glass into the metal handle. This direct metal to glass contact has no rubber cushioning that causes the glass to stress and eventually shatter.
Called up Whirlpool for replacement was told that the glass would cost £208 and £ 84 for an engineer to fit it only marginally less than it would be to replace the whole unit!. Other Whirlpool parts websites had the same item for £125-130.
Will be looking for a replacement cooker where the handle does not attach directly to the glass.

Coltrane lived in the house from 1952 to 1958, during which time he overcame personal struggles with drug abuse and transformed his life to become an internationally influential jazz musician—a story that has the potential to inspire young audiences today.
The Preservation Alliance will coordinate an interactive and interdisciplinary process to design a program that also aids in the revitalization of the Coltrane House neighborhood. Working closely with community members, music scholars, musicians, educators, and preservation experts, the Alliance will host a series of focus groups to discuss potential ideas, leading up to a final charette. An online public forum will provide an opportunity for a national audience to show support for the house and potential programming. The Alliance will also produce an oral history with WHYY on Coltrane's time in Philadelphia and hold information and visioning sessions with residents and other stakeholders in the Strawberry Mansion neighborhood. In the coming weeks, All About Jazz will feature articles from the Hidden City Daily and other media outlets on the influence of Philadelphia's jazz culture on Coltrane and the lost jazz world he inhabited there, as well as on the efforts to reimagine the Coltrane house and the neighborhood.
The John Coltrane House National Historic Landmark: Mission and History
The John Coltrane House is a recently formed federal non-profit organization. We are teachers, preservationists, historians, and musicians. Our mission is to preserve and restore John Coltrane's National Historic Landmark home in Philadelphia and establish it as an open to the public historic house museum and center for Coltrane and jazz studies and related performance and programming activities. Coltrane's Philadelphia home is of the highest importance among the many worthy Coltrane memorials worldwide because Philadelphia is the most important locus of Coltrane's development as a virtuoso musician.
Jazz scholars and critics uniformly agree that it was Philadelphia's rich and varied black jazz milieu in the 1940's that nurtured and schooled the novice teen reed player just up from the South. They also agree that this tutelage was both indispensible to and inextricable from the remarkable saxophonist he became. At the time, the country's most accomplished and innovative black jazz musicians met up, performed, and hung out in Philadelphia. Also, in Philadelphia Coltrane took advantage of the excellent training in traditional music available; he took saxophone lessons and studied music theory and composition. In his highly regarded biography of John Coltrane, music scholar Lewis Porter remarks, "Coltrane had unwittingly landed in the perfect place to develop his art" when he moved to Philadelphia from North Carolina in 1943.
In 1952, at the age of twenty-six, with the benefit of a G.I. loan, John Coltrane bought for himself, his mother, his aunt and his first cousin, the North 33 Street property. It was a big, beautiful house, built for a well-to-do middle class at the turn of the 19 century and a huge step up from the cramped quarters in a deteriorating area of town where the family had been living. Coltrane owned and lived in this home longer than any other during his legendary career as a jazz saxophonist and music composer. Also, it was during the years that he resided in the North 33 Street home that Coltrane, as a musician, became identifiably Coltrane.
When Coltrane left Philadelphia to further his career in New York City in 1958, the North 33 Street house anchored and provided continuity to his life. This remained so even after, as a prosperous established musician with celebrity status, he purchased a home on Long Island in 1964. Coltrane's mother, Alice Blair Coltrane, remained in the Philadelphia home he had bought for the family during his lean early years as a rising jazz star until her death in 1977. Coltrane's first cousin, Cousin Mary, then acquired and resided in the home until she sold it in 2004 with the request that it remain the tribute to John Coltrane that she had maintained during her years as owner by establishing the John Coltrane Cultural Society.
The John Coltrane House Inc. is pleased to continue and enlarge on the efforts of Mary Alexander. Our first task is to restore and preserve the physical structure of the House. Indispensable to that task, is to promote the crucial importance of the House to African American history, Philadelphia history, jazz history and jazz studies. We welcome and urge the support of Coltrane fans, jazz and serious music fans, arts aficionados, historic preservation enthusiasts, and arts, civic, and philanthropic organizations.

Danny Eslick won his first race of the season and trails Cory West by just one point in the Daytona SportBike series.
Geico Suzuki's Danny Eslick became the first rider in the Daytona SportBike series other than Josh Herrin or Jason DiSalvo to claim a win this season. Eslick won the first race at Barber Motorsports Park by nearly three seconds ahead of M4 Suzuki's Dane Westby, with Vesrah Suzuki's Cory West just outpacing Yamaha Extended Service/Pat Clark Sports' Tommy Aquino for the final podium position.
Eslick shot off to an excellent start from pole position ahead of PJ Jacobsen. It would be the only time that Jacobsen would have sight of the leader, however, as the Celtic rider crashed on the second lap followed shortly after by another crash involving GP Bike Parts Racing's Cameron Beaubier. After the damage cleared, it was Eslick leading DiSalvo and Herrin as an excellent battle took form between the three frontrunners. Herrin's race quickly came to an end though when he suffered a mechanical failure. The Graves Yamaha rider slapped his tank in fury as he was forced to retire early to the pits. With just five laps counted Dirk Sanchez, Jacobsen, Paul Allison, Matt Hall and Herrin were all out of the race.
DiSalvo eagerly resumed in second as the top-four riders became separated by less than a second. It was coming down to either Eslick or DiSalvo for the win when DiSalvo suddenly dropped back. Meanwhile Aquino began a charge toward the front. After getting around DiSalvo and Westby for third, Aquino was re-passed by DiSalvo while Eslick continued to gain momentum in the lead. As the laps ticked by Eslick's lead stretched to more than three seconds while a major battle erupted between Aquino and Westby.
The duo swapped positions back and forth while moving toward the front of the field ahead of DiSalvo. With the white flag out the runner-up position was down to Aquino, Westby and West with all three riders neck and neck. Despite holding a slight advantage on the final lap, Aquino lost the podium when both Westby and West made passes. Eslick claimed his first win of the season well ahead of the competition, while DiSalvo crossed the line more than half a second behind Aquino in fifth.
"It's been a tough season so far," said Eslick."It means a lot to get this win … it's pretty awesome. I could see the numbers on the scoring tower changing position, [and] I kept seeing different numbers in second, so I knew they were racing pretty hard back there. I just didn't want to do anything crazy and mess up."
"It's awesome," said West. "I can't thank the Vesrah guys enough. Now we just have to try to push on and get another podium tomorrow."

Before Carlsbad High water polo coach J.B. Feaster allows one of his best players to be interviewed by the media, he delivers a quick reminder, kind of a code.
Asked later what it was about, junior Rainer Sherwood exlpains but follows the letter of the rule – no talking about the Lancers chances at winning another section Division I water polo title.
Feaster allows his players to talk about it before the season, but once it starts, the rule is in effect. The Lancers know everyone else talks about it, since Carlsbad has won seven straight crowns and is in prime position to win another, having reached the semifinals with a first-round bye and an 18-2 victory over Rancho Buena Vista in the second round.
Up next for the Lancers is third-seeded Granite Hills (22-5) at 7:30 this evening at the Coggan Family Aquatic Complex in La Jolla, and Sherwood is just the man to lead them.
"He's the complete package," Faster said. "He has speed, sets in the two-meter, guards the two-meter. Anything we need him to do, he does."
Sherwood doesn't play goalie, but at 6-foot-4 he could probably do well there, too.
He was swimming laps in the Monroe Street Pool adjacent to Carlsbad High one day as a youngster, and one of the instructors suggested he give water polo a try. Sherwood started at the end of the fourth grade, then joined Feaster's club team in the seventh grade, and he's been groomed to be in this position ever since. He was a contributor on the varsity as a freshman and has started since the beginning of his sophomore season.
"They moved me up to get some experience with the older guys and to get (Feaster's) coaching, and I think that really helped," Sherwood said.
He's tried other sports, like basketball, soccer and football, but he was still searching. Sherwood literally felt like a fish out of water until he landed in the right sport.
"None of them really stuck for me; I'm a water kind of guy," he said.
All of those laps – he also swims for the Lancers – and all of those eggbeaters (water polo exercises) have paid off for the lean Sherwood. He'll probably have his pick of colleges when it's time, including men's college water polo's big four of Cal, Stanford, USC and UCLA. He certainly has the grades, with a 4.3 GPA, and would like to major in some sort of science.
Rainer's not the only athletic Sherwood. His younger brother, Addison, is a goalie on the Carlsbad lacrosse team and started last year as a freshman. Their dad, Bruce, played water polo in high school, and mom Debbie was a high school soccer player.
Despite that the Lancers graduated 11 seniors and Sherwood is the only returning starter, this team is where everyone expected it to be.
"This is probably the least-experienced varsity team we've had here," said Feaster, who's been at Carlsbad for 23 years. "I'm very pleased with where we're at right now, considering how much turnover we had last year. It's a testament to the program and young guys stepping up and knowing what to do."
It would shock many if the Lancers did not make it to Saturday's final, and shock almost as many if they didn't win it an eighth straight time, despite three other talented teams in the semis.
"It's all I've ever really known," Sherwood said. "It's not like I have another team to compare it to. We prepare to win."

Premier not rushed on NDIS
The Tasmanian Premier Lara Giddings says she will not be rushed into signing a full funding agreement for the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
New South Wales is the only state that has signed onto the N-D-I-S at the Council of Australian Governments meeting in Canberra this week.
Tasmania's agreed to trial the scheme for people aged between 15 and 24.
Ms Giddings says New South Wales has committed itself prematurely.
"Like the other states and territories we've been working with the Commonwealth around the launch site."
"And that's what we've signed up with. There are still some concerns around how a full NDIS could be funded and there's a lot of work that needs to be done," she said.
The Tasmania Disability Lobby's Jane Wardlaw says it Is sad and distressing that the Premier won't fully commit to the NDIS.
"We were expecting the Premier to continue to follow through with her leadership to actually commit to fully funding alongside and with the COAG and prime minister for now and forever about an NDIS."

Reports are swirling that Apple might not be bringing the iPhone to Verizon's wireless service. Although a Verizon iPhone has been rumored for months, the carrier recently said that the two companies are having trouble coming to an agreement. If that continues, it's possible that Apple might look elsewhere for a U.S. carrier.

After several phone calls to different technical support advisors I am beginning to think I am on a different planet as the two common factors (see below) in question will be applicable to 000's of clients and so must have been addressed by Sage ??
Two factors :
1) registered in the Construction Industry Scheme under net status i.e. 20% deduction
2) VAT cash accounting
Where VAT cash accounting is used, Sage will not allow invoices and credit notes to be allocated to each other unless they are posted with the SAME VAT code.
I am needing an easy solution that is manageable by the client and not an accountant !!
Basically the client needs to account for the 20% CIS that their customer will deduct from the payment.
Under standard VAT accounting this wouldn't be a problem because you could raise a sales invoice with a T1 VAT code and then raise a credit note for the CIS tax with a T9 VAT code. But under VAT cash accounting Sage will not allow the invoice and credit to be allocated because of the different VAT codes.
So then I was told that the workaround was to post a customer receipt for the full amount and then post a bank payment for the CIS tax.
The problem with this is that you send the customer a sales invoice with no record of the CIS tax deduction that they have to make and so you can guarantee that because of this some customers will incorrectly pay the full invoice amount without deducting the CIS tax.
Having then spoken to the report designer team I was told that they had never had this query raised previously.
So can someone please confirm that my client is the ONLY Sage customer operating VAT cash accounting in the Construction Industry Scheme !!!!

Here on Earth....
Well, for us, if we part pay a subby invoice, it is not so easy to reconcile (the numbers are not the same). Far better to pay it off in full, yet there is the CIS that needs taking out also. Hence the credit invoice and the sequence we use below.
Maybe it is easy for you to reconcile with your steps, but that is the reason why we finally ended up with doing it this way.
Yes you are
Why on earth are you raising credit notes!
Monies recieved part pay the invoice (from the bank account.)
The CIS deduction clears the balance from the (dummy) CIS bank account.
At month end the CIS bank account is used to part pay the PAYE and the balance is paid over to HMRC.
Answer is another bank account
Our solution for any bespoke software is far more simple. We set up an additional bank account in the n/l and call it CIS. When a customer pays the net amount, that obviously goes to the normal (real) bank account. The unpaid difference (their cis deduction) is then posted as a pretend bank receipt to the CIS bank account. The CIS bank balances are then transferred to PAYE control accordingly to match up with the PAYE returns.
CIS and Sage
Ken's solution is fine for standard VAT but not cash accounting VAT because you need matching T codes in the supplier ledger in order to allocate the invoice to the credit note.
For cash accounting businesses I find it best to do as you describe in your question - ie record the payment as if the invoice were paid in full, then post a bank payment for the CIS tax witheld.
There is no need for you to tell the customer how much tax to deduct -
the contractor should obtain this information from HMRC. You could, if you wish, set up a memo to appear in the text box on the bottom left of the invoice template.
CIS deductions in Sage
After a real struggle trying to get an explanation from Sage Helpline, and some tips from our (Sage-based)accountant, after 2 years of headaches trying to reconcile etc, we finally found this sequence which seems clear and works nicely when later reconciling.
Step-0: Check with CIS that Subbie is verified before making any payment.
Step-1: Supplier > Invoice: Post the supplier(Sub-contractor) invoice as is.
Step-2: Supplier > Credit: Enter a dummy Credit Invoice/Note on that supplier(Sub-contractor) account for the 20% CIS tax deducted from the subbie. Use N/Code 2212, and Tax code T9.
Step-3: Bank > Supplier: Supplier account should show both invoice & credit note. When ready to pay off the subbie's invoice, pay off the balance (both the original invoice + credit invoice) ie, the invoiced sum less CIS tax.
Step-4: CIS PAYMENT to HMRC:
SAGE: BANK > PAYMENT. Choose bank account, N/C is 2212, details could be: "CIS_5Nov08". Tax is T9
Hope that helps.
VAT on CIS deductions
Sage have not addressed this as you put it because the CIS is part of the receipt and payment processes not the invoicing process.
If the sub-contractor needs to insult his customer by reminding him to deduct tax that could be done by a memo on the invoice.
A credit note would be ignored as an accounting document by the contractor anyway.
However if you insist on creating a credit note you can create the credit note with Tax code 1 but change the amount of VAT to Zero (Needs to be done inside the description tab).
If you process the credit note, you then need to calculate the total CIS deducted in a vat accounting period and add that back to the relevant vat form box if that is strictly necessary
No No No
get rid of SAGE (its C£^P) use anything ANYTHING but that pile of steaming xxxx
problem solved as easy as that
ps, best move we ever made, sacked every client on sage, profits went up 200%

Getting Involved
To get involved with 2016 Legislative Priorities you can write a letter to your Legislators as a constituent. Below are four sample letters to help you get started. You can either mail or email your letter to your Legislators. It is helpful if you personalize your communication to your Legislative Representative.
Your input is crucial to the legislative process. Please write, call or send an email today (from your personal e-mail account) to tell your Representative to ensure that Utah provides the best education possible for all of its residents.
The following letters are supplied as an example only of how you may wish to compose a correspondence with your Legislative Representative. These samples may reference bills proposed in past Legislative General Sessions, but are not relating to current proposed bills. For a list of bills proposed for the 2016 Legislative General Session, please visit the State of Utah Legislative Webpage.
SAMPLE 1: SLCC/SLTATC Merger
Dear (Senator or Representative),
The Utah Board of Regents, following a comprehensive study of the organization and delivery of Career & Technical Education (CTE) in the Salt Lake – Tooele region, has recommended that the Utah State Legislature merge the programs of the Salt Lake Tooele Applied Technology Center (SLTATC) with Salt Lake Community College's (SLCC) Career and Technical Education programs. The recommendation came as the result of extensive examination by a study group comprised of all relevant stakeholders in CTE education in the area.
Salt Lake Community College fully supports the recommendation, and agrees with its underlying rationale: that this merger provides the most effective, efficient and best CTE training to all Salt Lake and Tooele residents, with as little unnecessary duplication as possible.
Since 1948, Salt Lake Community College has provided career and technical training in Utah. Currently, 27,454 students are enrolled in credit and non-credit career programs and training opportunities at SLCC.
The current costs alone for CTE delivery at SLCC and SLTATC to both taxpayers and students alike are telling. The total cost for providing CTE programs at SLCC in 2005-2006 was $6,726 per FTE compared to $11,344 at SLTATC. The full cost per membership hour at SLCC was $7.47, versus $12.60 at SLTATC. Merging these programs means better access to, and less confusion about, training for Utah students, improved coordination between programs, more efficient use of faculty and facilities, and lower costs to students & taxpayers.
I support House Bill 284, sponsored by Representative Kory Holdaway, which accomplishes this important merger.
(Your Name)
SAMPLE 2: Digital Design and Communication Technology Center
Dear (Senator or Representative)
The Capital Development Project for Salt Lake Community College's proposed Digital Design and Communication Technology Center is currently under consideration at the Utah State Legislature. The Utah Board of Regents has made this program third among all Utah System of Higher Education capital funding priorities.
The addition of a new Digital Design and Communication Technology Center would be a major benefit to our college and the population served. The facility will help prepare SLCC graduates to make immediate contributions in the important fields of: Digital Media Design, Applied Technology Education, Communication, Broadcasting, Animation, Visual Art and Design, Digital Technology, and Performing Arts.
The total projected cost of the Center is approximately $51 million dollars. The SLCC Student Association has pledged $8,600,000 and the Salt Lake City School District has pledged $3,600,000 toward the project. The legislative capital funding request is for a total of $38,417,525.
The 216,000 square-foot Center will also house 2 + 2 partnership programming with Salt Lake School District Career and Technical Education programs. The new and renovated space will provide a net increase of 55 classrooms and labs, and bring the total number of students served at South Campus to nearly 7,400 each year. Nearly 4,700 students will be SLCC CTE or general education students, 1,800 will be Skill Center Students, and about 850 will be Salt Lake City School District students.
Fall semester 2007, enrollments in the associated programs include 7,300 in Media Innovation and Communication, Visual Art and Digital Design, and Performing Arts and Film Production. Workforce Services projects more than 1,200 jobs in these fields annually. The Digital Design and Communication Technology Center is designed to strengthen SLCC's partnerships, increase student opportunities and access to high-tech, state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, and enhance the college's ability to deliver 2+ 2 programming, thereby, make this a very important part of SLCC's legislative strategy for 2008.

SAMPLE 3: Institutional Priorities
Dear (Senator or Representative)
Salt Lake Community College is committed to providing multiple pathways to quality education and training to every Utah resident. SLCC has compiled a list of institutional priorities that amount to $2 million that directly affect the college's ability to promote student success and bolster workforce development.
Funding for these priorities will help more of Utah's people gain and refine the skills they need to be successful in today's global labor markets. A commitment to SLCC would strengthen the Legislature's already robust commitment to Utah's business and industry. The Utah State Legislature's funding of these programs will also better enable SLCC to enhance the accountability of student success, as the ratio of full-time faculty to adjunct instructors is adjusted.
Students would benefit from better advising, as SLCC's incredibly high 1,200:1 student-to-advisor ratio would be decreased. Access to entry-level science courses would be improved, and SLCC would become an even stronger pipeline for students to reach science programs at four-year schools. SLCC could meet the demands for prerequisite and transfer instruction in support of the health sciences, biotechnology, math, and engineering programs.
Workforce development will be enhanced as SLCC will increase enrollments in nursing by 60 FTE, in dental hygiene by 15 FTE, in radiologic technology by 40 FTE, and in physical therapy by 16 FTE annually. SLCC will also be able to offer health care programs year-round, offer parts of some programs on-line, and add evening and summer cohort groups to better provide access to these important programs.
I support Senate Bill 103, sponsored by Senator Stowell, which would fund needed classroom instruction at SLCC.
(Your Name)
SAMPLE 4: Combined SLCC Priorities
Dear (Senator or Representative)
Salt Lake Community College is dedicated to providing the highest quality services possible to Utah's residents with a maximum of efficiency and effectiveness. SLCC has three main priorities before the Utah State Legislature this year. President Bioteau and Vice President of Institutional Advancement, Mason M. Bishop will represent SLCC's institutional priorities during the 2008 State Legislative session.
The input and support of each faculty member, of all administrators and staff, and each student is crucial to the college's success in the legislative process. The college's three main priorities for the 2008 Legislative Session are: 1) The SLTATC/SLCC merger, 2) funding for the Capital Development Project: the new Digital Design and Communication Technology Center, and 3) other institutional priorities.

Families get fresh, local veggies and a treat
Not only will customers find the fruits and vegetables they expect to see at the River Falls Farmers' Market, like lettuce, broccoli, peas and carrots, but they will also find a few things they don't necessarily expect to find at that type of setting.
For example: Scones, maple syrup, and bread.
Lisa Showers' new business, Lisa's Scones, officially opened the first of this month. Saturday, July 23, was her fourth Saturday at the River
Falls Farmers' Market selling blueberry almond, cinnamon, raspberry dark chocolate, lemon poppy seed, and chocolate chip scones.
Showers said she liked learning how to have a business, and getting to know some of the other vendors at the market.
"I like seeing all the people that I didn't realize I knew in River Falls," said Showers.
Showers sold three cinnamon scones and a chocolate chip scone to Daniel and Courtney Wascowicz and their two children Graham and Ava.
Daniel and Courtney said they had gotten scones the previous week as a treat, and Graham had been wanting another one ever since.
"That's something," said Daniel, "When a five-year-old will say, 'I wanna get scones.'"
The Wascowicz family has been coming regularly to the Farmers' Market for the last year of the three years they have lived in River Falls.
They said they prefer buying vegetables from local farmers than from the grocery store.
"We just like the variety, like to get out of the house on a Saturday, get some fresh veggies and a treat," said Courtney.
Donna and Raymond Gleason of River Falls, have been coming to the Farmers' Market for years.
"We buy all our vegetables here," said Donna Gleason, "They're great quality. Can't get any better quality."
Donna Gleason also bought some jam from Leanna Cernohous.
Cernohous said some of her strawberry and raspberry jams are very popular. She sold out of raspberry last week. Cernohous is also a substitute teacher at the River Falls High School.
"I run into people from school that I see here," said Cernohous.
Cernohous said she will also have fruits and vegetables for sale later in the season, when the plants are ready, but for now she's selling jam.
Showers' scones and Cernohous' jams aren't the only sweet treats at the Farmers' Market.
Anna Crownhart has been selling maple syrup from her farm at the Farmers' Market for 20 years.
"People really like it," said Crownhart, "Once they try it, they're hooked."
While maple syrup is more expensive than flavored pancake syrup from the grocery store, Crownhart said it is also healthier, and it might be a selling point for her.
"I think more people are tuning in to better health," said Crownhart.
Betty Schultz, Farmers' Market manager said there is a nationwide movement towards buying local.
"I think that makes our Farmers' Market that much more relevant today than when it was started 40 years ago," said Schultz.
As per the River Falls Farmers' Market's rules, every vendor at the market sells products from within 35 miles of River Falls.
Some of the most popular items at the market are sweet corn, which Schultz said is just starting to show up at the market, potatoes, beets carrots and lettuces, and flowers.
Schultz said flowers are one of the most popular items in the entire market.
Flowers are also the reason Sarah Torkelson likes to work at the Farmers' Market.
"I love doing the flowers," said Torkelson.
Torkelson's flower arrangements sold quickly, especially the ones with gladiolas.
Torkelson works for Cedar Hill Greenhouse. This is her third year working at the Farmers' Market.
The only thing Torkelson said she doesn't like is having to get up early.
"Otherwise, I've been enjoying it," said Torkelson, "It's a great community too. Everybody helps each other out."
For more information about the River Falls Farmers' Market, call Schultz at 715-425-7394.

A GROUP of young charity champions have raised £1,000 for a good cause.
Pupils at Harton Primary School pulled in the donations on behalf of The Sick Children's Trust's Crawford House.
The home-from-home provides families with somewhere to stay while their youngsters are being treated at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary.
Pupils at the school in East Avenue, South Shields, raised the money through coffee mornings and non-uniform days.
Headteacher Alison Chipchase said: "As a school we were hugely impressed by the fantastic support Crawford House gave to the family of one of our nursery pupils, following an unfortunate accident.
"As a result, we decided to arrange a series of events to raise funds to support this great cause.
"A 'big thank you' to all our pupils, parents, staff and governors."
Crawford House also provides emotional support for families who have seriously-ill children in hospital.
Work is in progress to build a second home-from-home at the city's Freeman Hospital.
The appeal, launched by The Sick Children's Trust and the Children's Heart Unit Fund, will see a new 18-bedroom house which will accommodate the families of children who are undergoing heart surgery.
Gail Stonley, house manager of Crawford House, went along to the school to accept the cheque.
She said: "It was wonderful to attend a cheque presentation at Harton Primary School. The whole school has taken part in fundraising and we are so grateful.
"It costs us £28 to accommodate a family for one night in our home-from-home, so the money raised by parents, teachers and children at the school will help us to support many families and bring us one step closer to completing our second house here in Newcastle."

We went for a long weekend last July and had a ball. Iceland is amazing. As we were there for such a short period of time, we did not travel the ring road. However, if you post "Ring Road advice needed" I am sure you will get some info. Also, the tripadvisor board seems much more active on Iceland than Fodors so try there as well.
We did do some day trips through Iceland Excursions...the Super Jeep tours which were long days but so worth it. There was another couple with us so it wasn't a big group tour but we weren't alone, either. We tried to go snowmobiling but the ice was unstable so that got cancelled. We did go whale watching (one of the outfits right down on the marina...bought tickets that morning) which was fun but I thought the whale watching in Hawaii was better. The Blue Lagoon is a must do...we did it on the airport leaving Iceland...there is a bus service that will take you from Reykavik to the Blue Lagoon and then on to the airport.
In terms of places to stay, we rented a cottage and it was one of the best lodging decisions we have ever made on any trip. It was the Holl Guest Cottage and couldn't have been more perfect. It is located on the top of a cobblestone street right off the main square in Old Town. It had a terrific kitchen (the owners have a kitchenware store in town), bedrooms, wireless internet, two bathrooms, a cute little greenhouse, a porch on which you could have breakfast...really everything. The owners stocked it with cheeses, meat, juice, muesli, skyr (you will LOVE skyr), breads, etc. Really, a terrific find. The web site is www.simnet.is/holl --- check it out.
If you have done any planning at all, you know that Iceland is just crazy expensive. At some point the first couple of hours in the country you just stop doing the math. It is too painful to do currency conversions after awhile...the numbers are so high. The visa bill that greeted us when we returned indicated that all of our dinners were in the $250 range for the two of us...that tended to include a bottle of wine, split appetizer, two entrees and maybe a cocktail. However, we did balance that by getting fish and chips or falafal or going to the famous hot dog place by the waterfront for lunch and eating breakfast in our house so it all evened out more or less.
I hope that gives you a start. Iceland was so much fun...I hope you enjoy it as well.

After 4 pretty extensive visits to Iceland I agree that Iceland is amazing. You can see quite a lot in a week but 10 days would really be better... It makes a big difference if you decide to rent a car. Driving is very easy. Please let me know how you intend to move around and I will advise you accordingly.
I disagree with 2 of taitai's recommendations: I don't think that the Blue Lagoon is a must. It is an artificial very commercialized, and most of the time very crowded pool set in lovely nature. Iceland's nature has so much more to offer! Why waiste precious time on this commercial venture? I would go there ONLY if I had a lot of time and want to fill a free day. If you only have a week in Iceland - you absolutely don't have a lot of time! The other think I am not sure of is paying so much for accomodations. True, the cottage is lovely. But you can find simple and clean places in good locations for less.
My recommendation is to put your money on car rental and save on accomodations.

May I jump into this thread?
We are a family of six and have the chance to visit iceland in the first week of July. However, we will arrive on Saturday and have to depart the next Sunday. So will have just six full days in Iceland.
What are your recommendations for these six days? Better going east to Höfe or better going north?
Thank you for your tips!
Report Abuse
It depends on how much driving you want or wish to do. The distances aren't the problem, moving almost everyday might be. I don't mind it at all. I would do both: drive to the north. You can easily do it in the time you have.
Sat - Reykjavik
Sun - self drive the Golden Circle
(Thinvellir, Geysir, Gulfoss)
overnight in Reykjavik
Mon - drive to Vik
Tue - drive to Hofn
Wed - drive to Egilsstadir
Thu - drive to Myvan area
Fri - Myvatn area
Sat - drive to Akureyri,
fly to Reykjavik,
overnight in Reykjavik
Sun - fly home
The driving in Iceland is very easy. There is a lot to see on the routes. That is the reason it takes so much time.
You absolutely have to plan and book all the accomodations in advance.
When out of Reykjavik try to stay in farms. They are very nice and a lot of fun.
Notice that I don't recommend waisting your precious time on the Blue Lagoon. It is commercialized, expensive, artificial and crowded. Not my cup of tea!

Stock up on alcohol at the duty free store at the airport when you arrive if you drink, because alcohol is very expensive in Iceland.
For a cheap day, visit one of the outside swimming pools. I was walking up the slide, and thought I felt ice on my foot. The water is very warm and it is a great experience. I had a little ice on the back of my head, tho. This was in March.

Our 2 cents worth: We stopped over for 3 or 4 days enroute to Europe. We rented a car (not a 4-wheel drive) and had a blast. We drove the "Golden Circle" and did many side trips up dirt roads to hidden waterfalls. (They are everywhere). Most schools serve as hostels in the summer months and they were quite nice, if not small. One night we stopped at a house that had a sign which read: Zimmer---which means room 4 rent in German. That was fantastic and again much cheaper than a hotel. We also bought food at grocery stores to cut down on expenses. Personally, we loved the whole crazy experience of the Blue Lagoon from late afternoon through early evening. It's hot and misty and a bit space age w/ that large thermal plant hissing away. Do it once.
It sounds like you are more into culture than hiking. Go to the large church downtown during lunchtime and listen to the pipe organ being played. Incredible! (FREE too). Even in July it will snow/rain and be sunny all in the same day! We're going back w/ our teenagers.

Hi! I traveled to Iceland in September two different years. We stayed in hostels and had very good experiences. We packed our own set of twin sheets and pillowcase to avoid the extra charge for bedding.
The kitchens are very well equipped with more utensils then we would've ever used, nice refers, microwaves, and most had laundry facilities.
The places we stayed, clockwise around the island:
OSAR - very nice host, charming old farmhouse, seal colony in front
AKURERYI - modern, more like a hotel, host helpful with travel questions
SEYDISFJORDUR - nice library/tv room/dining area...don't miss this gorgeous town!
BERUNES - beautifully restored old farmhouse, nice waterfall in the back
HVOLL - very modern, hotel-like, least charming concrete building, close to Skaftafell N.P.
LAUGARVATN - friendly host, we were upgraded to a private apartment with our own hot-tub!
As far as food goes: we carried in the max. weight we were allowed. (I think 6.5 lbs. pp) Could've taken more...nobody ever checked. We packed a box of dried milk, instant oatmeal, boxed rice meals, fig newtons, dried plums (the horses you meet in the road love them!), dried soups.
We also shopped in the grocery stores. The prices are probably high, but you have to get over that. It's much, much more reasonable than eating out. Make sure you buy & try some "SKYR" the first day. It's sold in grocery stores & gas/convenience stores. IT IS AWESOME and became our main breakfast, snack and midnight dessert treat. You'll find it in the dairy section.
I was dying for VEGETABLES about half-way thru the trip. I couldn't force myself to buy them in the store, the price was ridiculous and they looked so pathetic. I won't go back without packing little cans of V-8 juice for my vegetable fix!
The stores & gas stations also sell little balls of cheese (like a mild swiss) that are coated with different toppings: pizza, pepper, mexican, tomato. We ate a lot of these with Wasa Bread & packaged salami for lunches.
I would have gotten very bored with our meals if we hadn't carried so many of them on our hiking trips. The breathtaking scenery will make you feel so priviledged to be where you are, you'll forget that you're eating salami for the 12th day!
We had no problem finding grocery stores on the ring road. The gas stations have a pretty good selection, too if you get too far away from a store.
HAVE A GREAT TIME! Iceland is awesome!

Players on both teams were not happy with the ice conditions for Game 1 at the Prudential Center in Newark Wednesday.
"The ice wasn't very good out there, so you never know if the puck is going to bounce or not," Jarret Stoll said. "It was pretty sloppy. We got a lot of snow buildup as the game went on. You saw some bouncing pucks out there, but it was the same for both teams. You've got to battle through it and find a way to make crisp passes and plays, and find a way to get pucks on net.'' While both teams are hoping for better conditions for Game 2 Saturday, don't expect it.

Disable alert for Sebastian Vettel
Four time world champion Sebastian Vettel is all set to defend his Formula One title in the upcoming Grand Prix season despite 'underdog' tag and Red Bull's disastrous test run.
Vettel has said that they did not do much 'running' as they would have liked in 'testing', still it would be good to kick off the first race of Grand Prix season next week.
According to the Mirror, Vettel said that it is hard to know where his team stand's as others have completed more 'mileage' but added that they would do their best with the 'great people' that they have working for Red Bull.
Vettel further added that they often have 'unpredictable' weather in Melbourne and he said that Turn 12 on the track is important and 'fast' and he also likes the start into the Jones chicane, where the track is very narrow.
Vettel also said that he loves Formula One racing and cannot wait to 'get going'.
Red Bull have reportedly had a disastrous season of pre-season tests completing just 222 laps, which is less than half of all their key rivals, and even though most races will be over 50 laps, Vettel's race machine is yet to last more than 20.
Vettel reportedly exploded in fury at the team, as the racer has not had the chance to put in a truly competitive lap time in three tests and suffered a series of blow-ups and breakdowns. (ANI)

text: Randy Weaver wept during televised hearings as he told a Senate subcommittee today how federal law enforcement officers spied on him and his family, then shot his son, his wife and a friend during an 11-day standoff in Ruby Ridge, Idaho. Republican lawmakers, in particular, have seized on the white separatist's cause now that five top FBI officials have been suspended while they are investigated on charges of a once-unthinkable coverup. "These hearings are trying to find out three things," reports senior writer Richard Lacayo. "First, what really happened on that mountain. Second, and centrally, who approved the revised rules of engagement. The FBI orders allowed agents to shoot any armed male. Regulations ordinarily allow deadly force only in the case of an immediate threat to the agent or another agent. And, lastly, the extent of any FBI coverup." Last month, the government agreed to pay Weaver and his surviving children $3.1 million in compensation.

How to RV: The Class B Motorhome
|The 2011 Leisure Travel Van Free Spirit
If you're new to the RV lifestyle or you're considering buying a motorhome, there are a lot of new terms you are learning. What are the differences between Class C motorhomes and Class A motorhomes? Are there advantages to owning a Class B motorhome instead? We'd like to help clarify the differences to assist with your decision.
Motorhomes are motorized recreational vehicles (non-towables), and there are three different types, or classes: A, B and C. Starting with the smallest, let's take a look at Class B motorhomes.
|The interior of the Pleasure Way Excel.
Class B motorhome interiors are small,
but you'll find most necessary amenities.
Class B motorhomes, also known as van campers or conversion vans, are small cargo vans with added amenities including sleeping, eating and bathroom areas. Class Bs lack a master bedroom; instead you'll have a folding couch or drop down table providing sleeping quarters. They're a lot narrower than larger motorhomes because they utilize the space within the existing van body.
Class B motorhomes are a cost-effective option for couples or young families taking short trips. You'll get better gas mileage with camper vans than larger motorhomes, plus there are many affordable options available. There's room for two to sleep, and some can even accommodate up to four.
|The 2012 Pleasure Way Plateau
Camper vans are multi-purpose vehicles, perfect for small trips and small groups. They are very easy to drive, plus you'll have living quarters on hand whenever you're off to Experience Life. They aren't ideal for fulltimers – since space is pretty limited – and they lack the additional cab-over space you'll find in Class C motorhomes.
Conclusion: Class B motorhomes obviously offer you the best gas mileage and efficiency, but you'll compromise sufficient space.

Yes that's right Mari0 running in your browser. It can also run on your pi if you have one. But there is a couple issues with it if y'all have not noticed. The shaders were originally made for 0.8.0 and opengl. Web browsers use opengles. So that means that shaders will have to be tweaked. Also currently there is no networking in the love web port so sadly you cant make a multiplayer mod work in the browser yet.
If you want to help fix the shaders than the repo is here. https://github.com/radgeRayden/future-mari0
It runs on 0.10.0. If you find any bugs report it to the issue tracker and if you can attempt to fix it.

does anyone have an information on the Hansteck Tannery in Roanoke, Virginia and have they tried them?
Return to Tanning Category Menu
I don't know them personally and have not used them, but I have been working with a couple taxidermists in Roanoke this week who have used them. As a matter of fact I thought you were one of them asking
the quiestion until I asked them today. Anyway, they showed
me a few hides done there including a beaver, an otter and
something else, but the otter's lips were gone as were the beavers, and there were big holes near the mouth. Another taxidermist
came in their shop while I was there and said he had problems there too. The tannery told them new guys were hired in with no
experience. The way the guys talked I think they were going to
find another tannery.
Have you used them, or planning to?
I use Hansteck exclusively for all my big game. (Capes, Lifesize, and Flat hides. Just got a large bull elk cape back a couple of weeks ago for a customers pedestal mount. Had it dry tanned so I could rehydrate as needed for accurate measuring before ordering form. Great stretch, plumpness, no holes or cuts. Their staff chemists have developed a product to use in place of salt to be used in the field or in the shop. Can be used on raw capes or hides even in hot weather, and if used correctly and timely, virtually eliminates potential hairslip. Unlike salt, this stuff will not shrink your hide to the point that even after tanning and rehydration your hide will be the same size as when you removed it in the field. Lots of stretch and strength too. Has saved me a ton of freezer space also. The owner of Hansteck, Hank Stecker, is a very astute business man, and will bend over backwards to meet your customer needs, whatever they are. They are total professionals. I know that as hard as it is to find a good tannery, I'll be using them for years. Especially noteworthy is their regular service turnaround time is 30 days or less!

There are many reasons to get the munchies late at night. This particular night is a little different form the snacking you are use to. Shaye was hungry for something other than food. She had a deep craving for something hard with a creamy filling. Jmac did his usual VIP dancing with his cock hanging out of his jeans. That is what Shaye was looking for. As soon as she spotted it, she dropped to her knees and started munching away. She wanted that cream filling more than anything. She was in the middle of the dance floor slobbering on Jmacs cock like it was the last twinkie after a zombie apocalypse. Jmac took over and filled her soaked pussy because he was also hungry. They put on a show the crowd will not soon forget.

Try Manchester Central Library Local Studies Unit, which holds the originals for both churches.

Telepath Tactics - Update #3, Character Classes
As the first stretch goal for Telepath Tactics is close (less than $400) and update was made providing some information for the 'Extra character classes with animated sprites' stretch goal.
Hey guys! First, a quick update on the campaign. As I write, there are 831 of you and we've raised $19,009. Thanks to all of you, we're now within striking distance of our first stretch goal: extra character classes with animated sprites! So let's talk more about that.
Extra character classes with animated sprites is exactly what it sounds like. There are loads of possibilities: axe-wielding bandits, more types of golems, lizardmen with bows, shadowling guardians, and so on. When we reach this stretch goal, I'll be able to afford to commission sprites for our extra classes with a full suite of high quality animations. At a minimum, this means greater enemy variety and a more interesting campaign!
But there's actually more that we can do with this. Remember the promotion systems from the old Shining Force and GBA Fire Emblem games? With this first stretch goal, I'll be able to commission variations on the default character class sprites and add character promotions to Telepath Tactics as well.
To sum up: we're now less than $3,000 away from having both class promotions and a greater variety of character classes in the game. I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty pumped. Let's do this! (And of course, if you have any questions, feel free to leave 'em in the comments below.)

My Nonprofit Reviews
Cathy Goss
Review for Denver Rescue Mission, Denver, CO, USA
As a member of the Board of Directors, I am continually impressed with the service provided to the less fortunate members of societies, both in terms of basic needs (food, clothing, shelter) as well as providing a gateway to a life of self-sufficiency (programs, education, support). The organization is fiscally sound, financially responsible, and consistently aprpeciative of every person they touch and every supporter of their organization. I cannot say enough of the passion and leadership they provide in our community.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Observing the meaningful impact they have on the lives of those they serve, whether that impact is a meal, a bed, or the opportunity for a new and self-sustaining life.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

A fragile peace is shaken
Tajikistan, July 14, 2009
Just a couple of weeks after celebrating the National Day of Reconciliation, tensions are rising here in Rasht. The ghosts of the civil war that I've written about seem to be more than just apparitions. My colleague, a refugee during the civil war, woke up last night afraid that soldiers were at her door. My neighbor, a former United Tajik Opposition commander and still highly influential in Rasht, is offering interviews to the media. The Garm militia has sent its men up into the nearby mountains to block any militants from coming here.
And my beloved colleagues have advised me not to travel this week, telling me stories of checkpoints being ambushed with the possibility of a foreigner being taken. "But it's unlikely," they say calmly. The roads in and out of Rasht are choked with checkpoints.
"We have a problem with foreigners," the military police told me at the time. Rumors were swirling that more than 300 militants had come from Afghanistan and Pakistan, some seeking asylum and others trouble. Many are followers of feared former warlord Mullo Abdullo, who has supposedly spent the last few years with the Taliban. And while the government claims it's supporting an operation to combat drug trafficking, the locals say it is to squash any uprising. Reports of attacks on government checkpoints abound. And then there is the killing of Mirzo Ziyoyev.
Our work continues near the border with Kyrgyzstan this week. We are finishing the distribution of 800 metric tons of wheat flour, oil and lentils. The work is demanding and not without its problems —somehow all tied to transportation and the road — but spirits are high as we're welcomed warmly into the communities.
I lived in southern Kyrgyzstan for two years and am surprised by how much Kyrgyz I still understand and speak. Every conversation starts with me happily exclaiming: "I understand you!" Of course, community members in these remote and marginalized villages are also surprised that I speak Kyrgyz. Many of them do not speak Tajik, limiting their opportunities for work and education. During distribution, I talk to the women about breastfeeding, complementary foods for their babies and the success of their greenhouses.
Touring a greenhouse in the early morning, a volunteer named Delbar beams as she shows me ripe cucumbers, round tomatoes and flowering melon vines. The Kyrgyz communities were skeptical when Mercy Corps introduced greenhouses, wondering if they would work in such a harsh climate. "But eating is believing. Now we ask one another about our greenhouses as if they are our children," Delbar says.
We laugh. There is a cool drizzle this July morning and the sun begins to peek through the clouds. Quietly. Peacefully.

Guns N' Roses
The November Rain cocktail
In the words of Axl Rose, "Welcome to the Jungle." Rose and his band, Guns N' Roses, are a little over a week into their landmark residency at The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel. Dubbed "Appetite For Democracy," the show, which premiered on Halloween, will continue through November 24 with a total of eight remaining performances—including one tonight. The electrifying spectacle features greatest hits from the band's 1987 debut album, Appetite For Destruction, and its most recent 2008 album, Chinese Democracy, hence the show's title. In honor of their rock and roll guests, bars across the property, including The Joint, Vinyl, and the circle casino bars, are serving six new limited-time cocktails crafted by Hard Rock mixologists. The aptly named drinks include Patience Punch, November Rain, The Axl Rose, Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City Limits, and Liquid Dream Shot. Hard Rock Hotel, 702-522-8100

SHANGHAI, March 16 (Reuters) - Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index closed at a 19-month high on Thursday after the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates, as expected, but signalled no pick-up in the pace of tightening.
Investors had feared the Fed was considering faster hikes that buoy the dollar and lure funds out of emerging markets and back to the United States.
The Hang Seng index ended up 2.1 percent at 24,288.28 points, its highest close since early August, 2015.
The China Enterprises Index gained 2.5 percent to 10,526.46 points, in its best day since May 25, 2016.
The Fed raised its benchmark policy rate by 25 basis points overnight, as widely expected.
The move was matched by Hong Kong's central bank, as the city's currency is pegged to the U.S. dollar, but some commercial banks kept their best lending rates unchanged.
While higher borrowing costs typically pressure rate-sensitive sectors such as property and banking, both jumped on the Fed's benign rate outlook.
Fed policymakers maintained expectations for a total of three rate increases this year, defying predictions from some analysts that it would turn more aggressive as U.S. economic data continues to improve.
Main sectors rallied across the board, led by material and energy plays, as oil extended gains from the previous session after data showed U.S. stockpiles eased from record highs.
China Unicom jumped 5.2 percent, shaking off profit drop to settle at a near one-year high. (Reporting by the Shanghai Newsroom; Editing by Kim Coghill)

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Experts said the millipedes infesting south Florida are harmless to humans and serve as both mosquito repellant and a recreational drug to monkeys.
Bill Kern, an entomologist with the Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center of the University of Florida, said the millipede infestation began about 10 years ago in Miami-Dade County, a few years after they first appeared in Key West, and the small creatures have been spreading ever since, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Monday.
The millipedes, which are arthropods rather than insects, are often found in homes, but the dry conditions of the indoors usually lead to their deaths within days.
"The inside of a home is almost always too dry for a millipede to survive," Kern said. "When they come in the house they're usually doomed."
Kern said the millipedes are actually beneficial to the environment due to eating mulch and dead leaves.
"They are beneficial," Kern said. "They help to break down organic matter into a form that can be consumed by plants."
G.B. Edwards, an entomologist with the Division of Plant Industry at the state Department of Agriculture in Gainesville, said the millipedes are also put to good use by monkeys, which rub the creatures on their fur to use their defensive chemical as an insecticide. He said the monkeys also eat the millipedes as a hallucinogen.
"They eat them," Edwards said. "I wouldn't recommend a person doing that."

Ok, maybe that wasn't actually the issue this morning…it was the way I described the gift card that had my partner, Kim, dialing the phone.
This week is a big week for my wife. Mother's Day was on Sunday (and I went to the Yankees game with my son, leaving her at home) and her birthday was Tuesday (and by Tuesday afternoon I still had not gotten her a birthday gift and had no idea what I was going to get her).
So when Kim asked me what I eventually got for my wife for her birthday, I might have been a bit effusive in my description of it to compensate for the fact that it only took me ten minutes to pick out and buy (and eight of those minutes were walking back and forth from the parking lot).
So I described her gift as "a really nice, very beautiful gift card from Macy's." I guess my partner thought describing a Macy's gift card that way was a bit much… not that she doesn't love a Macy's gift card, she just thought I was over-describing this particular gift card to make it sound like the be all, end all of gift cards until the end of time to make up for the fact that I waited until the last possible moment to buy it – and didn't spend a whole lot of time or thought into it.
So she picked up the phone and called Macy's to find out what makes their gift cards so unbelievably nice.
