May 20th, 2010, 04:42 PM #1Strategic Grocery Shopping
I've heard rumors of different grocery shopping strategies wherein you can get about a hundred bucks' worth of stuff for only a few dollars. It's mainly to do with combining sales with double- and triple-coupons, I think... from what I've gathered poking around the interwebs a little.
Does anyone do this? What are some good, trusted resources to learn more about these techniques?Daniel M. Clark

My father was so good at it that the store often ended up paying him to take stuff. Seriously.
I don't know of any places online to learn how to do it, but I can say that dad watched the sales flyers carefully and planned what to buy based on them and the coupons he had. He often went to 3 or 4 stores in a day to maximize savings. He preferred stores that double and tripled coupons.-Don't criticize anyone til you've walked a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticize them, you'll be a mile away and have their shoes.

My parents used to split the coupon savings with me when I was a kid, let me tell you...that was a great strategy for them because I would definitely take advantage of doubling/tripling coupons! I haven't seen that out here in Chicago though...
I'm not ashamed to say that I am a huge clipper too, and I love reading the store ads to figure out what to stock up on. We almost always have a restaurant coupon too when dining out.
I did however, have kind of an odd experience once. I had a coupon for a free coffee from our neighborhood shop, so I ran over one morning and used it. I also bought a banana and tipped a dollar because, you know, they gave me a free coffee. When I handed the barista my coupon, he just about shouted, "OH. YOU'RE USING A COUPON!" Everyone in the shop looked at me, and I felt just a bit defensive. Sheesh. Next time I'll wear a tshirt that says, "I like to save money, and I'm proud of it!"
I read on a site last week, (I dont' remember which one, sorry), but one idea is to make a list of all non-perishable items that you use regularly. And then track prices for those items regularly. That way, when one goes on sale at a significant discount, you can stock up on it. You could also figure the frequency to which you use the product, and that could guide how many you buy.

I asked about this sort of thing in one thread and bettylou was nice enough to start this thread, exactly what you're looking for -
Using Offline Coupons

Awesome! Thanks, Trust! And thanks to everyone for responding, too. Carolyn, that's an awesome idea about splitting the savings with the kids, I'm going to run that by my wife. Maybe, since the kids are so young and don't need money yet, we'll put it in their savings accounts for them.Daniel M. Clark

The hardest part is the organization - it's all about whether you're trying to save time or save money. You need to know the typical price for the things your family uses, watch the ads and find a way to organize the coupons so they get used.
Note: Sunday circulars are great for coupons and the stores stock and prepare POP displays. If you wait a week or so, the surplus will be on sale and your coupon will give you better return. If you hit a week when you see coupons for lots of things your family will use, go pick up an extra copy if you don't have a neighbor or friend to save them for you.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Edward H.
Review for Hugs Project Incorporated, Oklahoma City, OK, USA
II am a retired Vietnam Veteran. When I was serving in Southeast Asia there was not any origination doing what the Hugs Project is doing. It would have been great to receive packages from people that you did not know and know that they really did care about what we were doing and how we were.
When we retuned from Southeast Asia we were spit on, called names and look at as the sum of the earth.
The Men and Women that serve this country today deserve better and this a group of great people that are showing them that there is people who do care about what they are doing and how they are living. They do a great job of getting needed supplies to the Men and Women of our arm forces.
Karen and all of her volunteers are to be commended for all the hard work and long hours that they put in.
I would have loved to have received a package and support that they give everyone.
I have been a volunteer for a short time but due to work requirements I can not spend as much time helping all that I want.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
In the short time that I have helped I have received a lot of satisfaction in knowing that I have helped some of out troops.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Not change a thing. Karen has things going good and knows how to get things done and to get the help that she needs. We just need more Money to get the packages to the troops.

Let's Move for a Better World
Now more than ever before in history we are sedentary. Work has become more computer centric, manual labor is being supplemented by machines, and some people are even walking their dog with drones these days! In addition, we are at an all time low when it comes to nutrient dense food intake. Our sustenance is full of fillers and preservatives and we can eat and eat and not get what we need to live a fulfilling life. We move less and eat more and it's a serious crisis and we're wondering where does it stop.
It stops when an informed group of people take a stand and say enough is enough. Of course taking a stand isn't enough of course and for the rest of March we are partnering with #TechnoGym to participate in the #LetsMoveforaBetterWorld challenge. Learn how you can help fight obesity world wide and get active yourself. Join a global movement by downloading the MyWellness app today and make your MOVEs count!

Bernina Linie
Where weather systems clash
Travellers on the Bernina Line of the RhB are able to witness a meteorological phenomenon: the dividing line between two weather systems.The line separates the weather of the northern and southern sides of the Alps. In an interview, weather expert Thomas Bucheli (50) of Swiss Television explains the significance that the Bernina massif has for the weather in Switzerland, and about why he always reaches for his camera whenever he is in such a place.
Mr Bucheli, what exactly is a meteorological divide?
It is defined as "a term used to describe a section of landscape that has an influence over various weather conditions in its surrounding area". This influence must be effective enough to control, in a long-term manner, the temperature and humidity of the air, as it moves from one side of thelandscape to the other. Mountain ridges are the most well-known type of meteorological divide, but parts of valleys with abrupt slopes and / orchanges of direction or narrow passages, and even larger lakes, can play the same role.
How does such a phenomenon arise, and which factors play a part in it?
The most effective divides are high mountain ranges standing crosswise to the prevailing wind. As the wind hits this obstacle, it has to flow either sideways or upwards. The associated changes in temperature and humidity on the windward side of the mountain range often lead to fog, clouds and precipitation, while the air on the leeward side is much drier and warmer, with generally better weather (the socalled "foehn effect"). Many of the world's deserts lie right behind a meteorological divide. The dry Tibetan highlands, for example, are in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, as does the Atacama Desert of northern Chile is in the lee of the Andes.
How significant is the Bernina meteorological divide to Switzerland?
The Bernina group, the highest range in the eastern Alps, is a major meteorological divide for southerly winds, affecting the weather of Upper Engadin in particular. It can also influence the weather further north. Typical results of this phenomenon can be heavy precipitation on the southern Alpine slopes, with barely any rain or snow in Upper Engadin, and a foehn wind in central Graubünden. The effects of the Bernina meteorological divide are at their best when the upper layers of air do not contain too much humidity. If this happens, Puschlav and the valleys to its south often lie under high-altitude mist, while the sun shines all day in Engadin.
How does a meteorological divide affect the landscape?
Meteorological divides have a long-term effect on humidity and precipitation. The weather on the leeward, or downwind, side of a mountain is significantly drier than on the windward side. This affects local vegetation, soil-quality and the area's agriculture. The Engadin is bounded by high mountain ranges on both sides, making it – along with Wallis – one of Switzerland's driest regions.
What can the meteorological divide mean for outdoor pursuits like hiking, mountain-biking or ski touring?
You shouldn't put blind faith in the benign effects of the meteorological divide. If the wind changes direction, or if humidity suddenly rises, a thick mist can soon come down. So it's always a good idea to keep track of the situation. In fact, it's always advisable to check the weather forecast before setting out!
To what extent does the meteorological divide influence you, as a weatherman, when making calculations and drawing up forecasts?
I always take meteorological divides into account. Our country of Switzerland basically consists entirely of a series of meteorological divides, such as the Jura, the central ranges of hills, the foothills of the Alps and all the other mountain ranges of the Alps themselves. Whenever I'm drawing up a forecast for a particular place, the first thing I want to know is: which way is the wind blowing? The second question is always: which mountain stands in its way?
What fascinates you most about the meteorological divide?
Whenever a "foehn wall" forms at one, I am seized by a desire to go and photograph it. The picture you get is of a striking wall of cloud in front of an almost totally blue sky. I have managed to collect a number of fantastic photos of these foehn walls from all over Switzerland.
Finally: do you dare to give us a forecast for 2012?
Given the changing positions of the sun, we inevitably look set to go through various seasons in 2012. But the answer to the question on how this is going to express itself in actual weather conditions, and on whether we are all going to be satisfied with it, is largely written in the stars...

In the Morning
- Artist: Dieselcreek
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 12/26/2006
|your cart is empty
Dieselcreek The creation of the "follow up" album is always a much anticipated and debated production for a band, as well as for their listeners. Coming off of their debut album, Not Far From Home, Dieselcreek doesn't disappoint with their sophomore production, In the Morning. The catchy riffs and resonating vocals from Not Far From Home continue their seduction throughout this new album. Yet, the predominantly "folk rock" driven sound of Not Far From Home has evolved into a unique blend of rock and roots. Lead guitarist, Robert Nolan continues to push his New Orleans born licks through a pleasing combination of rock, blues and soul. Lead vocalist Jay Goodin keeps his tradition alive with stirring lyrics, harmonica highlights and head turning vocals. New addition, Jimmy McClelland adds texture to the sound with smooth violin and piano. Bassist Sue Butensky and drummer Emerson Serafim lay the rhythmic foundation of a band that is expected to be a full participant in the rebirth of rock and roll into mainstream music.

It may be that the sale was not as smooth as it appeared, but your professionalism made me feel it was! Once again, many, many thanks

Picture: Chris Martin of Coldplay 2008 MTV Movie Awards held at the Gibson Amphitheater Universal City, California USA - 01.06.08
Coldplay have been hailed as the best band appearing at England's three-day Glastonbury Festival by organiser Michael Eavis.
Glastonbury 2005 saw electrifying performances from music royalty including the White Stripes, Brian Wilson and THE KILLERS - but no one came close to Coldplay in Eavis' opinion.
He enthuses, "(My highlight was) Coldplay's last song FIX YOU. I'm a real Coldplay fan. I think Chris Martin has come up with something really new in pop music. The whole concept and songwriting - it's original music and it's not churning out the same rock and roll music like so many other bands do year after year."27/06/2005 09:30

Interesting picture. I've never seen a building with different colored windows. Nice reflections.

The reflectons are most interesting, but I'm more intriged by the varied coloured windows. What causes this: paper covering the windows, different coloured light sources within the rooms or...??
- December 4, 2007 at 1:05 PM
not sure what gives the windows their color. I had never noticed the colors before, and I pass this every day, so I'm guessing it's temporary. I think it's either the lighting inside or a plastic film on the windows, but can't really take a closer look because the building is really right on the water.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Barely Understands What Makes Superhero Crossovers Great
Crossovers are a staple of comic fiction, whether that's in the books themselves, in the movies, or even in the video game adaptations. At their best, they're fannish delights, getting to hint at what it would be like for such disparate characters to really meet. At their worst, they're squandered opportunities.


text: I'm thinking pretty seriously about buying an already rooted Eris off of a member of the site and then selling the 2.1v3 version I have. Anyone have a reasonable price suggestion? I'm thinking $150, it's only a month and a half old and has never not had a screen protector and Verizon's "wrap around" blue case on it. No silent bug to speak of yet and only had issues with the trackball once.

Pope Francis: Christian hope is born of trust in God, not idols
Pope Francis contrasted authentic hope, born out of trust in God, with the temptation of false idols offered by our modern world, such as money, power or physical beauty, in his General Audience today.
"Hope is a primary need.." but we can get lost in our search for security by trusting in the false hopes offered by idols, that "confuse the mind and heart, and, instead of favouring life, they lead to death.
The Pope then told a story he had heard in Buenos Aires of a very beautiful woman who was very proud of her beauty. She said she had to have an abortion in order to preserve her figure.
He went on: "Faith is trusting in God, but there comes a moment in which when confronted with life's difficulties, we experience the fragility of that trust and feel the need for other certainties, more tangible and concrete."
The Scriptures, especially the prophets and wisdom writers, he said, reveal the fleeting nature of idols and the hope they offer. In Psalm 115, the Psalmist ironically presents these idols as silver and gold, made of human hands.
"The message of the Psalm is very clear," Pope Francis said, "one who places their hope in idols becomes like them: empty images with hands that don't touch, feet that don't walk, mouths that cannot speak. One has nothing else to say and becomes incapable of helping, of changing things, of smiling, giving of oneself, and of loving."
In contrast, God is always greater than we are, making us incapable of reducing God to our size, made in our own image and tailored to our desires.
The Holy Father concluded, with Psalm 115, that the grandeur of God enables Christians to trust and hope in the Lord.
"Trusting in the Lord, one becomes like Him; His blessing transforms us into His children, who share His life. Hope in God makes us enter, as it were, within the range of God's action, of His memory which blesses and saves us."
The official English summary of the Pope's Catechesis follows:
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
In these first days of the new year, following our celebration of the seasons of Advent and Christmas, with their message of the fulfilment of God's promises in the coming of the Saviour, we now continue our catechesis on Christian hope.
The Scriptures teach us that side by side with authentic hope, born of trust in God's word, we can be tempted by false hopes and worldly idols, like money, power or physical beauty. Hope in God demands strength and perseverance, whereas these false gods promise an easy security, a future we can control.
The Psalmist denounces this kind of idolatry, stating that those who put their trust in images that are the work of human hands, will come to be like them: spiritually blind, deaf and insensible. God is always greater than we are, and we, created in his image and likeness, cannot reduce him to our size or fabricate other gods, made in our own image and tailored to our desires.
By trusting in God's word and hoping in his promises, we become more and more like him, sharing in his life and rejoicing in his provident care, revealed in the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus his Son.

Ron Thomas went home to be with our Lord and Savior on March 23, 2013, after a long and courageous battle against cancer. His final days were spent surrounded by his family and friends. He passed with family at his side.
Ron was born June 7, 1957, in Brawley California. He grew up in Imperial and graduated from Imperial High School in 1975. He headed to the coast for more adventure in his 20's, though he often returned to Imperial to visit. Ron was married and had his first born in 1985, Robert Thomas.
Always talented in design and building, Ron became a contractor and started his own construction company. In 1988 he began working with Herb Turner and met Herb's daughter Rachel. They fell in love instantly and married in 1997. Ron and Rachel had fun traveling, being with friends, and most of all enjoying their two special gifts, Ryan H.(12) and Remy Turner(7).
Ron loved his family first and foremost. He enjoyed golf, travel and sports (especially the ones he spent watching his kids play). He had a great sense of humor and was always ready with a joke to keep us smiling (even up to the end of his life.) He will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
Ron is preceded in death by his father, Homer. He is survived by his beloved wife Rachel; children, Robert (fiancée, Josie Wilson), Ryan and Remy; mother, Betty; sister, Sharon (Tim) Swarthout; brother, Richard (Jeanne) Thomas; brother-in-law, Brent (Sue) Turner; and many cherished family members and friends.
We, his family and friends, take solace in knowing that Ron is now with our Lord and lifted into a new spiritual body of eternal life.
A celebration of Ron's life will be held Sunday, April 14, 2013, 2:00–4:00pm at Southfair, 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del Mar, CA 92014.
The family requests any donations be made to Santa Fe Christian Athletic Department in memory of Ron Thomas.

NEWCASTLE – Determined to do his bit to combat escalating crime, Imran Ghafoor joined Newcastle 911 Community Policing Forum in June.
"I knew I wanted to help the community and ensure their safety. I also knew it was not always possible for the police to attend every common robbery case, as they have their own issues when it comes to vehicles. So, I have a car, and I know the community of Newcastle, so I decided by joining 911, I could actively make a difference within my community."
Read: The new face behind Newcastle 911
After joining the forum, he was sent on a tactical training course, which helped him immensely. Thus far, he has successfully assisted in about 30 arrests, ranging from house robberies, house burglaries, armed robberies, common robberies, assault cases, murder cases, attempted murders and theft out and of motor vehicles.
"I am on duty at least 18 hours out of a 24 hour day. I assist wherever I can, whether its crime related or something small like a lost puppy."
According to him, the decision to join the forum came after he realised just how out of control the crime in Newcastle had escalated. As a businessman in the CBD area, he had witnessed many robberies and other crimes, and noticed the police were not always on time to apprehend the criminals, therefore, he said he was always willing to help people, where he could.
He said he enjoyed working hand in hand with police units, such as the K9 and Crime Prevention units, as they were always willing to help when Newcastle 911 needed police assistance. He believes it is a good thing that the 911 forum and SAPS can work well together.

"We can call them any time, and they will come out and assist us."
Mr Ghafoor said he had noticed incidents of crime such as house breakings and common robberies had decreased over the last few months – proof that Newcastle 911 had made a positive impact on Newcastle. However, the forum still had not been given permission to use their green lights to enhance visibility.
" We need the green lights, so hopefully we will receive permission soon."
Mr Ghafoor has been happily married for the past 14 years, to his wife, Ameena Ghafoor, who has also recently joined the forum. They have three beautiful children, whom he absolutely adores, and tries to spend as much time as possible with them.
Mr Ghafoor started his first business 15 years ago, and specialised in cellphones and cellphone repairs. He later started specialising in electronics, and now owns a grocery store, as well as a bakery.
He admitted being a businessman, a 911 respondent, a father and a husband proved difficult at times, and sleep could become a luxury, as he had previously gone three days without sleep.
"When a crime has occurred I will not rest until I have done everything I can to ensure the suspects gets caught."
Mr Ghafoor said 911 forum had made a positive impact and criminals had become wary of the 911, as there are more than 60 members patrolling the streets of Newcastle on a daily basis.
"We are here to fight crime and make our streets a safer place," he said.
Also read: Residents fail to attend crime meeting
Mr Ghafoor appeals to residents to make use of the Zello application, as it is the way to communicate with Newcastle 911.
After downloading Zello, add Newcastle 911 to your contacts, and keep Zello activated, as you never know when you might need their assistance.

Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the Peanuts gang are set to make their first venture into 3D on the big screen.
The new, CGI-animated feature, based on Charles Schulz's long-running comic strip, will be the first full-length film to be made on Snoopy and Co since Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don't Come Back!!) hit the screen in 1980.
The short trailer, released on Tuesday, shows the same, oddball duo, Snoopy and Charlie Brown – though now in fuller, brighter form. Opening with a spoof of the 2001: A Space Odyssey trailer, what appears to be a newly-created Earth soon becomes the beaming face of Charlie Brown. Peanuts fans will find much to recognise in the teaser – from Snoopy running rings round his hapless owner, to the brief appearance of beloved Woodstock.
The film's producer, Paul Feig, of Bridesmaids fame, claims the movie will preserve the essential spirit of the Schulz strip, with few modish updates to the narrative: 'No-one will be twerking,' he assured. Schulz's own son, Craig, is co-producing, and his grandson, Bryan, has written the screenplay.
The film is due to premiere in the States on November 6, 2015.

Spending time in the kitchen enjoying cooking led to us making our own handmade knives. It's been an ongoing education into the many aspects that come together in making a good knife. We strive to bring our customers high quality, hand forged knives that will become a cherished companion in the kitchen.
We enjoy the process of forging knives, which fits nicely with our object work that is often forged or hammer formed. We focus on precision forged blades where we aim to forge the blade to its finished dimensions in thickness and form the distal taper from the heel to tip and cross taper from the spine to edge. This approach makes the most of our skill in hammer control and leaves the minimum amount of grinding work which preserves the texture of the forged finish.
Our knives are made from high carbon steel which lends itself to forge work, moving more easily under the hammer than stainless steel. Once forging is complete, we carry out a pre heat treatment process to refine the steel grain and then carefully heat treat the blade specifically for that steel type which results in a keen edge that is readily sharpened.
We take the time to finish the details that make a knife enjoyable to use. Our hardwood handles are shaped to fit nicely in the hand and the spine and heel are rounded to produce a knife that can be comfortably used for extended periods. Finally, we sharpen our knives on Japanese waterstones and finish on a leather strop providing a sharp and durable edge.
A high carbon steel knife needs regular care to keep it in good condition. Unlike stainless steel knives which will tolerate staying wet in the dish rack, our knives will rust if left wet or if the juices from food aren't cleaned off, so rinse in warm soapy water and dry well after use. An occasional light application of bees wax or oil will help to protect the knife.
A carbon steel knife will oxidise across the bevel which has been ground into the blade to form the edge, over time this will leave a patina on the bevel surface showing that it's been well used in the kitchen. This will happen quicker at first and then slow as the surface forms a protective layer. The oxidising can be controlled by spraying the bevel with glass cleaner and carefully rubbing the bevel surface with super fine 0000 steel wool which will help even out the patina and remove more heavily oxidised areas or light surface rust if it develops.
In use
We recommend using cutting boards with softer surfaces like timber to avoid overly dulling the edge and swapping to a heavier knife for kitchen tasks like breaking down chicken etc.

Five Year Old Left On School Bus
LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) — A 5-year-old from north-central Idaho spent a half-hour alone in a parking lot after she was left on a school bus. Mom Miranda Main says when her daughter failed to show up last Wednesday she started calling school district officials. The Lewiston Tribune reports workers found her on the bus parked in a district lot. Assistant Superintendent Bob Donaldson says such mistakes are rare.

Quote from Empirical Bathroom Tile Inspirations To Stimulate You - Part 2 :
All Over
If budget is not an element, then all‐over tile could be an intriguing technique to combine longevity also simple wiping with mode. Alter the motif with tone plus magnitude together with form as well as feel of tiles by utilizing dissimilar substances on the floors, on the walls also within the shower. Utilizing all‐over tile is a good technique to create a little area brighter, while the tile would reflect light.

An upcoming Coronation Street storyline will reportedly see The Rovers Return trashed during a fight.
According to The Sun, trouble escalates at Jason Grimshaw's (Ryan Thomas) birthday party when tension rises between Chris Gray (Will Thorpe) and Frank Foster (Andrew Lancel).
The drama will see Street residents including Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly), Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall), Tommy Duckworth (Chris Fountain) and Owen Armstrong (Ian Puleston-Davies) become involved in the brawl.
Viewers will apparently see Becky hit by a stripper who is booked to appear at the birthday party. Shocked landlord Steve (Simon Gregson) will be seen arriving back at the height of the drama, as he takes in the damage to the Weatherfield boozer.
"The Rovers has been the scene for lots of punch-ups in the past," an insider told the paper. "Usually there's always someone on hand to drag the fighters apart - until now."
The source added: "This will be the first time that a brawl anything like on this scale has broken out."
Ex-EastEnders star Michelle Collins recently joined the ITV soap's cast as Stella Price, who will take control of The Rovers Return with her husband Karl (John Michie).

When it snows out here, all those hidden creatures that you know live out here, but never see [or rarely, anyway] leave tracks. Here is actual evidence of their existence and recent visits. This is a pretty busy place.
I found these tracks in the snow next to the studio. I think they're chipmunk or vole tracks.
They ran along the rock wall where I have some alpine strawberries planted. Poor thing was probably looking for a snack.

Environmentalists in California Fight "Vineyard Sprawl"
October 23, 2002
One might think that growing grapes to make wine might be among the world's least objectionable uses for land. But environmental groups in California -- which produces 90 percent of the country's wine -- find it obnoxious.
- Charging that the wine makers are wasting precious resources and despoiling the landscape with "vineyard sprawl," environmentalists are trying to rein in the industry -- and some of their efforts are bearing fruit.
- About two years ago, Napa Valley officials enacted an ordinance restricting vineyard expansion.
- Elsewhere in the state, activists have fought vineyards on the basis that they use pesticides and produce excess waste.
- Vineyard interests appear to be knuckling under to the attacks -- with the state's Wine Institute trade group and the California Association of Winegrape Growers now about to adopt a code of "sustainable" practices, which includes sharply limiting water intake.
Trying to avoid mandatory state regulation, some vintners see positive aspects in parts of the 360-page code workbook -- particularly sections relating to water conservation. But the environmentalists still complain that the code doesn't go far enough in the area of curbing "vineyard sprawl."

Mike you have proven there is a deep bench in Democratic politics for a state run.
What a wretched group of courthouse insiders. Let's hope someone took Peg's keys in the interest of public safety.
Very hopeful story. I have concern about the number of black people pictured. There's only one, and she has been criticized for her lack of support and sympathy for defendant's in her courtroom. Just like the mayor, having no person of color on the stand for his first press conference after The Sherman Park tragedy. we can't win without Black people ,we don't want to win without them. White Milwaukee will not bring consensus to the Trump supporters in out State Wisconsin. Nor will they find support in our devastated inner-city. Where, oh where will this end?
What a bunch of Losers, backing Chisholm. He has been knocked down but 7 judges.
Matt Flynn, he was the attorney that beat up on the victims of the sex assaults, by priests under Weakling.
He is Weakland Apologist.
You neglected to mention that Circuit Court Judge and Walker appointee Michele Havas was also there. She's certainly not a Democrat.
Yes the loser certainly isn't the old man who goes online and calls people losers.
Informant: Ms. Havas served 11 months on the bench, lost her election and then returned to the DA office where she works now. She is running unopposed for an open seat on the bench and should be back in office by August.
The more I see Scott Wales hobnobbing with the County insiders the more I like Yang in the Spring election.
RE: Jason – County insiders, like labor blogger Dom Noth and a dozen judges?
Two of labor's favorite judges, Janet P & Kies – both Wales supporters?
Were you a Verona Swanigan supporter? She had an inspiring story as well. Also: a similar lack of experience in jury trials and foreign completely to criminal justice practice in any capacity. I won't argue Yang is not a great lawyer. Even if Yang is a great lawyer, there are hundreds of great lawyers that are not ready to be Circuit Court trial judges. Perhaps she could have tried for a commissioner post or municipal judge in her Oak Creek community.
John, I am getting sick of the egg heads that lurk Milwaukee County. Wales appears to me to be slightly more Conservative than Yang but I despise the "no it all crowd". I will probably vote for the "lefty" Yang and pray I never find myself in her court room.

Who is against wiretapping? Nobody that I know. The only dispute is whether you need a warrant to do it. Under FISA laws special courts were set up to issue warrants and if something had to be done on an emergency basis it could be done and then the warrant could be issued retroactively.
Of course Bush said he didn't have to obey the law.
This is a bs bogus issue that has nothing to do with making us safer so yes this kind of stuff is fear mongering.

Uncooperative Husband Sorted by Co-op Divorce Solicitor - A Divorce Case Study
By Family Law & Divorce Solicitor Tracey Moloney
Client Situation
Mrs H came to Co-op Legal Services for legal advice after her 18 year marriage broke down. She had two children with her husband, aged 13 and 16 years old.
Mrs H left the family home with the children and rented a property for them to live in and then started divorce proceedings. Her husband stayed in the family home, which was a five bedroom house.
Mr H would not agree to sell the family home even though it was too big for him to live in alone. He would also not provide Mrs H with details about his income or pension that were necessary for the divorce financial settlement.
Mr H also refused to pay any maintenance to help with her needs or his children's needs.
Mrs H was working part time and relied on her parents to help her financially since she started divorce proceedings.
How We Helped
Once Mrs H had explained her situation, Divorce Solicitor Tracey Moloney issued divorce proceedings and issued an application to the Court for spousal maintenance, pending suit. Once the application was reviewed, the Court awarded Mrs H spousal maintenance of £1,000 per month, payable by Mr H.
Tracey also issued an application to deal with their finances and even though spousal maintenance was ordered by the Court, Mr H refused to comply with the Court Order and he also stopped paying the mortgage on the family home. Mr H did not come to two of the Court hearings, including the final hearing.
The Outcome
The Court made an Order in Mr H's absence. Mrs H was authorised to sell the family home, and to have full control over the sale of the property. Mrs H was also given 100% of the equity in the property as the Court realised that Mr H was unlikely to comply with any Orders for maintenance payments.
Mr H was also ordered to pay £4,500 towards her legal costs, as she had no option but to go to Court to get her finances agreed as Mr H would not cooperate.
Mrs H has now sold the family home, and has bought a property outright for her and the children, close to their school and without the need for a mortgage.
Mr H also paid her back the £4,500 legal costs ordered by the Court.

Results 1 to 25 of 30
July 24th, 2005, 11:58 AM #1Affiliate Recruitment: what to choose?
Hello here,
on November 2004 I started my own affiliate program by offering 30% of commission on sales and unlimited cookie expiration date. I sell digital classical sheet music and my affiliates are satisfied by their results, anyway I'm still getting a low 1% of sales from affiliates.
Well, as today I'd like to work more on my affiliate program because I think it has great potentialities but, as all of us, I don't have enough time for a good, focalized affiliates recruitment and/or affiliate program advertisement campaign, so I thought to hire someone else to do this "hard" work. The idea came last week when an Indian company called affiliatebuddy.net contacted me by proposing me their service. It looks attractive and effective, but by searching on Google for "affiliate recruitment" there are hundreds of companies are doing the same job.
Do you have any suggestion or experience to tell me? Any thought is very welcome!
Thank you in advance.

Is the "New Program Announcements" link meant to lead to http://abestweb.com/merchants/newforum.htm ?! I believe, it used to lead to a less expensive way of "announcing" one's program (namely: via an announcement thread in the respective network's forum)...

As I understand Fabrizio is looking to hire affiliate recruitment help, and needs advice and suggestions, not advertising opportunities to recruit affiliates himself.
July 24th, 2005, 06:19 PM #12Originally Posted by fabrizio
I agree with Sam Bay, it looks like Fabrizio is wanting to hire an affiate manager to run his/her affiliate program.
July 24th, 2005, 06:21 PM #13
I had an affiliate program running for my website which averages 10543 Visitors per Month and here is what I found.
Affiliates need coaching. Set up a newsletter that goes out once a week to keep them up to date and offer tips and support.
Work with them to get your banner or link in an optimum position.
Reward them with incentives. (Extra commission for the top sellers is a good start.)
Consider a multi-tier commission structure as it is a much greater incentive when you can build a down-line.
I dropped the program as the host I was using had considerable downtime which impacted on sales, as each sale had to pass through their system before being passed on to the collection routine.
I will be reinstating the program using the open source www.creloaded.com which has a multi tier commission module, once I have my 3 current multi tier programs up and running.
Speaking of multi tier programs, I have a question for Geno.
I understand that the principal behind the site is to generate revenue and I have no issue with that at all.
However, it seems to me that the principal behind the concept is not being used to advantage.
Why dont you subscribe to the affiliate plans and then announce the site using your affiliate ID?
It seems to me that you could generate more income than a charged for link and would probably greatly increase your offerings.

Well, to be more precise I'd like simply to hire a specialized "affiliate recruitment" service. I'd like to keep managing my affiliate program myself, but I need someone can help me to recruit new affiliates.
Thank you Reg for your suggestions about multi tier programs, I already considered them but by studying my competitors they are having great success by pointing more on the offered product (contents), than on the affiliate program mechanism itself. I sell classical sheet music to download with custom and exclusive arrangements, a very unique service that grows 100% every year... I offer:
1. 30% of commission on all sales.
2. Unlimited cookie tracking system.
3. Members referral linking for life (referred Members to our service, not affiliates, are linked permanently to the referred affiliate by giving him possibility to earn on subsequent renewals).
4. Realtime stats, tracking, automatic HTML and dynamic code tools.
5. We are the leading company and site for Classical Sheet Music Downloads® since 1999.
6. Our exclusive arrangements and transcriptions products and service is unique.
don't you think could be this enough to have some good working affiliate? Yes, I have already around 300 affiliates since November 2004, but just 10 of them are giving me some good earning... but I think I need to find more and better affiliates and I'd like to hire someone to do it because I have not enough time.
Thank you for your advices and thoughts, they are really appreciated.
PS: I don't understand why everywhere on this forum is stated: "Do NOT Post Affiliate URLs or links - it is a violation of our policies!" but somebody is posting links anyway... how exactly this works? I'd like to be able to post URLs to discuss better my ideas but I don't understand what I can do and what can't...

Do not post affiliate URLs: This means don't post the URLs of affiliate's web site (ie www.affiliatesite.com).
You will see links to web sites in some folks sigs. That can be done AFTER the member has earned the signiture privilege. Members who post and contribute to the forum will eventually gain that privilege. We do not allow for manually adding of a sig if the sig privilege has not been earned.
Posting of URLs under any circumstances which contain an affiliate tracking id (ie www.mymerchant.com/?affid=xyz) is never allowed.
Any posting of your own URL which is primarily just to 'get your link' out there is not allowed and will be edited as board spam.

To MichaelColey:
It sounds like your findings don't match up very well with the views affiliates have expressed here. ...
I guess that is one of the reasons I am here, is to learn from other vendors.
The newbies may, but the most successful affiliates will want and need no coaching. Instead, they'll want the tools they need to successfully promote programs: datafeeds, coupons, deep links, etc. ...
Granted the most successful were experienced, but such is the way of the world.
The newbs had to be shown how to use the tools offered in most cases.
Most affiliates prefer monthly newsletters and consider weekly to be annoying and bothersome. ...
I am an exception I guess as I like to get newsletters from the programs I sign up for if they are directed at helping me develop my sales.
However, I soon drop off the mailing lists of the programs that just say the same thing over and over in their emails.
Most affiliates prefer non-tiered commissions and resent the fact that you're reserving commissions they could be earning to pay other tiers (which is essentially what a multi-tier structure does). ...
My current project offers 25% - 15% - 5% .
Note that the 15 and 5 refer to commission on sales, not commission on commission on sales.
If the sub affiliate sells a $100 product, and is linked under you, you would make $15 and not 15% of the $25.
You might want to go back to the drawing board. ...

About my argumentation here, I agree with Michael: I prefer to give them good/real content and product for their visitors, high commission rate (30%), life referred customers and powerful tolls like datafeed, dynamic links, link generators, and other I already offer as well a monthly newsletter that I think is enough and not bothering.
So, I recall your attention to my first question: how to hire somebody to recruit good affiliates for me? do you have any suggestion?
Any advice is very welcome!
Thanks guys for sharing.

Fabrizio since Haiko has given you the Merchant/AM status (you're blue now ), you should also have access to the Affiliate Manager Only forum. You may find some additional information along the lines you are asking there. You'll probably find other useful information from other managers with regards to running a program.

I can't say I was particularly excited with the winners of last night's Nebula awards. There's two works that I think are interesting efforts but not really that great and one that made me wish I had taken up another hobby. Like stabbing myself in the leg repeatedly.
"The Spacetime Pool"
by Catherine Asaro
2009 Nebula Winner for Best Novella
I was almost half-way through "The Spacetime Pool" before I remembered who Catherine Asaro was. The Quantum Rose was so bad that I had completely suppressed it and here is Asaro making another assault on the mental stability of anyone who enjoys fiction. I can't say it rises quite to the level of The Quantum Rose but there is a bondage scene that makes me think we're seeing Asaro's fetishes put on the display.
A hiker in the woods is suddenly teleported to a psuedo-medieval kingdom by a handsome prince who informs her that she is part of a prophecy. She will marry either him or his evil brother and whoever she marries will kill the other sibling. Predictability ensues.
Let me offer this general tip for people: if you are in the mountains one thousand miles inland and suddenly find yourself on an ocean beach with no mountains in sight it is not a movie set. Asking the person who tells you that you're part of a prophecy before instantaneously transporting you from mountains to seashore makes you seem pretty stupid. Unless your name is Thomas Covenant there's no harm in just going along with the scenario until you either wake up (either in your bed or the mental institution) or become as confidant in the reality of the situation as you can be. To continue in a state of denial for things you are directly experiencing makes you seem particularly stupid no matter how much the narrator tries to present you as smart.
That's a fairly major problem with Asaro's writing: she says things as exposition and then never deals with the consequences of it. There's no confrontation that gets the hiker to realize she's no longer in Kansas; she just drops it eventually. The mathematicians on the new world apparently have the same names as those in ours but that apparently is just a massive coincidence (especially since the other world's mathematicians would have been Arabic). English is like Latin on this other world and only the Handsome Prince knew it well in the initial group but everyone later on speaks informal English perfectly (unless they have to slip into some bad faux medieval dialog). And despite all the implications in the story she wasn't transported to the future and it's not even a plot element (those were the tip of the iceberg); it's like Asaro was writing it one way and then changed her mind but forgot to remove all of the set up. Because that "introduce and ignore the consequences" writing is so common you can't even start to string up your disbelief before its cut down again.
And then there's the characters: take my plot description and drop in the biggest cliches you can and you have them. The Mary Sue... er... protagonist is beautiful, smart, brave, and completely lacking in faults. The handsome prince is kind, considerate, and a just ruler. The evil brother goes around murdering and torturing and is completely without redeeming qualities.
I can't stop without mentioning the single most over-the-top ludicrous portion of the story. Once our heroine is abducted and forced to marry the evil brother (like I said: predictability ensues) he locks her in a tower. Before going he taunts her by giving her a math problem where the solution is the combonation to the lock.
I honestly spent the first half of the novel wondering when the subversion would start that would take this trash to a level that was worthy of Nebula consideration. When I remembered who Asaro was I had to wonder about what blackmail photos she had. This was a dreadful story and if I never encounter Asaro's work again it will be too soon.
"Pride and Prometheus"
by John Kessel
2009 Nebula Winner for Best Novelette
I bet John Kessel grinds his teeth anytime someone mentions Pride and Prejudice and Zombies around him. Here he was doing it first and doing it better while someone who made a kludge of a joke novel is raking in the cash. Okay, he's not really "first", but he was the most recent Austin/horror mash-up before someone struck the gold mine.
Life has gone on after the end of Pride and Prejudice and Mary is still unmarried. She's effectively given up on seeking a husband when she bumps into a visiting gentleman from Switzerland at a party. He's left his country to try to make peace with something terrible that he has done. This gentleman is hesitant to become involved with Mary both because of a fiance in Switzerland waiting for him to complete his tasks and a threat hanging over him. A set of social misunderstandings ensue that lead to complications in both of their lives.
What Kessel has essentially done is worked out a timeline where both Frankenstein and Pride and Prejudice occurred at the time of their publication and this story is an insert into the middle of Frankenstein. Since the story is an insert Kessel does not play with the plot of Frankenstein and can only really expand on Austin's novel. I can't help but wonder if the story would have been more effective if he just took the themes of the novels and had fun with them rather than pushing at Austin's.
This story fanfiction though in this case it is of high enough quality that we can pretend it isn't by slapping the "homage" label on it. Kessel has the concepts down and the liberties he took didn't grate on me. I just wasn't as excited by the end result as I was with the title. I guess it has that in common with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies as well.
"Trophy Wives"
by Nina Kiriki Hoffman
2009 Nebula Winner for Best Short Story
On a planet with a very regimented social structure a pair of mentally linked women encounter a woman on the run from a would-be husband. This husband wants to put the bride on display, locked in an isolated bubble for the rest of her life.
I'm left with a lot of conflicting emotions about this story. There's quite a bit to like and at the same time there's some things that put me off. I find myself wishing that it was significantly longer since there are concepts touched on in the story that could be more effective if they were developed further and at the same time I don't know if Hoffman's writing could sustain a longer story.
In fact with reflection that is exactly what is wrong and what is right in the story at the same time. Hoffman throws out a lot of interesting concepts and themes but never managed to make them join together into a coherent form. It's a squiggle of a short story and if she took it out to five times its length then that squiggle could be part of a work of art or just a large mess.
The characters are intriguing but not fully formed. The setting is intriguing but not fully formed. The plot is intriguing but not fully formed. The prose is not intriguing; it's decent enough. The story either needs to be stripped down to a more narrow focus on its core themes of status or expanded to let these ideas grow. As it stands it is an interesting effort that just doesn't come together for me.
