My son loves this. Well made, loads of colours, used on and off for a years and not had to put batteries in yet. Great for camping trips, halloween and bonfire nights. I feel safer him having it, hangs round his neck, he feels safe with it cause if he looses sight of us he either puts his torch above his head so we can see him or he blows the whistle so we can hear him. Every kid loves a glow stick.!
21/05/2012 11:27:07
Bought these to keep the children amused around the camp fire. The children loved them, they think they're light-sabers and take them on sleep overs. However, I have only given these a star rating of three as one we bought didn't work. We got the screwdriver out, took it apart, fiddled with the switch and hey presto it works again. I think these are great but my advice is try before you buy!
07/10/2013 10:47:12
Great little torch which has three settings and a whistle! Bought it to keep in the car for emergencies though may well use it when arriving home in the dark to help me insert the key in the door! Thought I'd buy a couple more as stocking filler/tree prezzies for male friends and relatives.
08/10/2013 11:44:35
Versatile use of torch with wissle so you can attrackt people to assist you in time of need when out camping. A lightweight torch you can easily carry underneath a jumper with its cord, to aid you finding your way around a campsite in the dark.
25/05/2012 13:21:10
kids love these.. the glow stick and whistle has been going round our house ahead of our trip for the past two days!!! need new batteries at this rate. lightweight, bright and fun, kids actually like carrying these even in daylight!
11/07/2013 14:40:27
The staff were most helpful, very clear instructions about the sleeping bags. Also at the checkout, all the special offers were explained to me and came out with more than I went in for, so thank you for all your help.
28/07/2013 18:32:13
This is a lightweight torch, glowstick and whistle and I've now got three of them. Haven't had to change batteries yet but haven't had to use it much yet as it's summer and I haven't been to any festivals!
10/10/2013 11:31:00
Nice and light to take around in the handbag for occasional use. E.g I have to open a door with a combination lock and this just fits the bill as it is otherwise impossible to see the numbers in the dark.
17/10/2013 12:07:06
Great wee item. Bought for my son for a 3-day actioned packed trip which will involve late night walking excursions up hills and along the beach. Feel happier to know he will have this with him.
08/10/2013 17:37:17
this is a handy torch to have in your coat pocket, light easy to switch on,ideal to have with you when walking out at night and to attract attention if you get into difficulty or need help.
21/10/2013 23:34:26
this is for my son to use while at cadet camp. they sleep outside need to have a little light when moving around in the dark it can hang in a pocket lay on the ground and its safe .
21/05/2012 14:56:05
The addition of the glowstick and whistle makes this handy torch a useful thing to carry on days out in the countryside. The kids liked the look of them so I bought them 1 each.
02/10/2013 19:24:48
We were tempted to buy one in each available colour: these torches are the best ones I have bought in a LONG time: whistle, torch and super glow stick all in one. Quality.
14/10/2013 16:10:40
I have bought these for my grandchildern to wear on bonfire night. It will help me spot them when they are running around in the dark as well as giving them alot of fun.
14/10/2013 16:16:45
I'm sure this would be useful on a camping trip, but i keep this by the bed, in order to be able to find the light switch in the middle of the night; very handy for that.
17/10/2013 20:36:42
I think they'll be good for Christmas stockings for my sons. handy size, and the glow stick, flashing function and whistle make it more fun than the average torch.
24/10/2013 11:52:18
Trendy product (like Star Wars light sabers) for young lads. The whistle, light and flashing signal also useful for emergencies on a school trip to draw attention.
07/07/2013 17:14:05
I saw this on special offer and decided to buy it although I had not been looking for this. I will use it as a present for someone who enjoys walking and cycling.
24/05/2012 20:02:00
Fun for children and older children too! The glow part of the stick cycles through on and flashing, plus there's a plain torch and a whistle, pretty good.
07/06/2012 12:02:21
will be good fun for my 5 and 12 year old - we will be in large crowds this summer, so the whistle is a good feature in case I lose the 5 year old

The House of Sandeman and the History of Port Wine : Port wine it seems was discovered in the 17th century when British merchants added brandy to the wine of the northern Douro region to prevent it souring and to improve its shelf-life during shipment to England. The wine was called Port, after the port city of Porto. Since Warre's established the first British Port House in 1670, much of Portugal's port trade has always been in the hands of the British, even up till current … [Read more...]

SOURCE CCH, a part of Wolters Kluwer
RIVERWOODS, Ill., Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The impact of the recent federal government shutdown is being felt by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) which announced that the beginning of the 2014 tax filing season will be delayed by up to two weeks. At this point, the IRS says it will not accept or process individual tax returns before January 28 of next year – tax season was scheduled to start on the 21st and an official start date will not be announced until December. CCH, a part of Wolters Kluwer and a leading global provider of tax, accounting and audit information, software and services (CCHGroup.com), offers expert insight, analysis and guidance regarding the IRS's latest announcement.
"Because it's still unclear when taxpayers can begin filing returns, many questions remain over how significantly the government closure is impacting the IRS," said CCH Principal Federal Tax Analyst, Mark Luscombe, JD, LLM, CPA. "In announcing that a two-week delay is possible, it also leaves open the door that the season may start sooner or close to on-time if all the IRS systems tests check out. Those who look forward to getting their returns done early need to closely monitor developments over the next several weeks so they don't get caught off guard on tax preparations."
Tax Planning Guidance
Year-end tax planning is always complicated by the number of changes that have occurred throughout the year and 2013 is no exception. The new CCH Tax Briefing: 2013 Year-End Tax Planning explores some of the 2013 year-end planning opportunities available to taxpayers, especially as the result of provisions that are new-for-2013 and those that, at the moment, are scheduled to expire after this year.
Full details on year-end tax planning are available by visiting: CCH Tax Briefing: 2013 Year-End Tax Planning .
Members of the press interested in speaking with Mark Luscombe for further analysis about the delayed tax season announcement or on other federal tax issues should contact Eric Scott at 847-267-2179 or email@example.com.

Q&A: Fast food workers deserve better pay
ABOVE PHOTO: Shonda Roberts
Interview by Brad Wong
Equal Voice News
Fast food workers, who say their hourly wages are not enough to keep up with the cost of living, held a nationwide strike recently in about 35 cities. The fast food industry employs about 4 million people.
Their message to restaurant chain owners and the public: Because of the pay, they often have to pit buying food against paying for their housing – and that, they say, seems strikingly odd in the United States.
In fact, some say they need food stamps to survive despite being employed.
Restaurant associations and representatives from fast food outlets point to the jobs as cooks and cashiers as opportunities to move up the career ladder – especially to become a manager and earn more money.
Equal Voice News spoke with Shonda Roberts, 38, from Oakland California, who works for KFC about her experience and supporting her family of three children while earning $8 per hour in the San Francisco Bay Area. Some "living wage calculators" show that the "poverty wage" for this part of the country is $7 per hour.
How long have you been working at KFC?
I've been working there for six months. I've been in the fast food or hospitality industry for 15 years. I've worked at Taco Bell. That was my first job at age 19. I've worked at Quiznos. I did food prep. I've worked at other restaurants.
What do you at KFC?
I'm a cashier. My duties are stocking, cleaning up the lobby, making sure the restrooms are clean. I work the drive through and work with customers. I work in the mornings and midday. It's pretty much staggered. I work about 16 hours per week.
May I ask how much you earn per hour?
I earn $8 per hour at KFC. At Quiznos, I made $8 per hour.
Could you talk about your family?
I'm a mom of three kids. My two oldest rely on me but they are college students. I do have a 15-year-old who depends on me. With my two oldest, I try and help them as much as I can. They're trying to do the best they can. At home, it's just me and my 15-year-old.
What do you like about your job?
I like my co-workers. I like that we're team players.
What do you think about wages in the fast food industry?
I feel that it should be a fair playing field. Being part of the working class, I feel that we should be able to provide for families. We shouldn't have to make these drastic decisions on what's more important, as: 'Oh, I can't put food on my table' and 'I can't pay my rent.' It shouldn't be this way.
I have a weekly gross pay of $128. I'm asking you: Would you be able to provide for a family, even just one person, on $128 per week? Let's add in taxes. My net pay each week is about $100. I can't pay rent on top of putting food on the table, buying school supplies and buying clothing. It's a hard decision to make.
Especially since you're a parent and you want the best for your kids.
Sometimes, I have to make a decision of me eating or my child eating. And I always want to make sure that my child eats first.
Let's not forget that a lot of our working class have to rely on public assistance to make up the difference, like food stamps and health coverage.
Do you receive food stamps?
I do depend on food stamps to help feed my kids and myself. I feel like I shouldn't have to depend on food stamps to provide for my children. I should be able to provide for my children just by having a job.
What do you want KFC to know?
That we're demanding $15 per hour and a union. We're worth that. And no retaliation.
How will this help?
Everything is going up. But our pay is not going up. I just went grocery shopping the other day. I spent $50 and I really didn't get anything. Being a parent, I shouldn't have to sacrifice just to meet the bare necessities of life.
Being part of the working class, I feel that we're contributing to the community, just as everyone else is. I feel that my work ethic is up to par. This is my career. I provide excellent customer service. What a lot of corporations strive on is excellent customer service. The first person you see when you walk into a fast food restaurant, you'll see a person like myself.
Some people believe it's fine to pay fast food workers these current wages. Your response?
There are a lot of people in the nation who are my age and with families. They rely on jobs to take care of themselves.
You seem pretty brave. Are you afraid of taking action?
I'm not afraid at all. This is my right. I'm going to do what I need to do to put this in the forefront. I believe in my heart that we'll get what we're actually fighting for.
It's the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. What is your Dream?
My Dream is to be able to provide for my family without having to worry. I shouldn't have to get gray hairs and worry about every given day: 'If we get put out today, where will we go?' I shouldn't have to worry about being homeless. This is the richest country in the world. We're living in poverty. I want there to be a middle ground.
I shouldn't have to see starving children or a mother out here who is struggling, working two or three jobs, who still can't provide for her children. It doesn't make sense. I was born and raised in the United States. Something needs to give. Politicians, the community, everybody needs to see what is going on.

It's been just a little over a week since a massive earthquake devastated the Caribbean Island of Haiti, leveling buildings and capturing countless citizens underneath the rubble.
While aid efforts for Haiti began shortly after the earthquake, tonight, some of Hollywood's biggest stars got together to bring further awareness to the cause. Amonst them was "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson, who stressed the importance of technology during this crisis.
Robert, who appeared on camera from London, shared the story of a girl in Haiti who had been buried under a flattened university for nearly six days, praying that someone would find her. Finally, on the sixth day, rescuers discovered her because of a text message sent from underneath the rubble.
The story was just one example of how technology, including Twitter, Facebook and texting, has shaped the response to the earthquake in Haiti.
Here is his speech in full:
"Underneath a flattened university, Maxine Fallon waited. She was crouched in a fetal position and could barely move. In the darkness and during the hectic sounds of the day, through the pain, the hunger and thrist, she prayed that someone would find her. And on the sixth day her prayers were answered, she was found because of a text message from the rubble sent rescuers to her side. Unlike any other event in history, our world has been connected to this tragedy because of technology. Twitter updates, Facebook pages with pictures of the missing and text messages for help. This technology is working right now to connect us, too. At hopeforhaitinow.org, you can donate and you can instantly interact with people in Haiti and anywhere in the globe. Join with those watching and see what they're saying about something we all care deeply about — helping the Haitian people get back on their feet. Please go to hopeforhaitinow.org. Thank you."
Robert of course, was just one of the "Twilight" stars to participate in the benefit to help Haiti. Across the pond in L.A, his "New Moon" costars Taylor Lautner and Anna Kendrick answered calls from people interested in making a donation.
Learn more about what you can do to help with earthquake-relief efforts in Haiti, and for more information, see Think MTV. Visit HopeForHaitiNow.org or call (877) 99-HAITI to make a donation now.

Energizer Hair Follicle Stimulator
Lisa B.Phila, PAHairBlackThick or Coarse HairEnergizer Hair Follicle StimulatorI have been using this product for always three weeks now, it does not tingled like it says, but when I use it with the other products they all work together as one. I have been on the pills and also using the shampoo treatment. I have alopecia and the top of my head has not been this full in years. I worn a wig for at least seven years because I was ashamed to let my hair out. Now that I have bought the product to open up the follicle I wear my hair out and wear dressy hats to give my look a like spice. I love this product as it helps my hair grow and begin to get fuller in the crown and the forhead. Thanks Lisa R. Benson I love it~~ I have Hair now~~posted Mar 29, 2011Link to this post
SaharaNew MexicoThis Product Is Excellent!I have very thick, course hair and this product penetrates into it really well. It does not leave a build-up on my hair or scalp. I love it. It contains no alcohol so it does not dry out my hair like other "moisturizers." Please do not discontinue it.posted Aug 18, 2010Link to this post
DebbiePhillyGreat Stuff!!!!I started using this product after I had my daughter. I found that my hair seemed to have thinned out after her birth. I started using this, with not much hope, because I had tried plenty of other volumizers with zero results. Well I have to tell you... it worked!!! Even my hairdresser noticed a difference. I didnt say a word to her and she said, Wow! your hair seems to have gotten fuller. I told her and she said, Keep using it!! I may not have long flowing locks, but I do have a lot more hair than before!!!posted Nov 6, 2008Link to this post
Damian K.Hamilton, ONGood ProductIve first tried this product 2 years ago. I just keep buying it because I like it. Im not sure it helps me regrow my thinning hair. But deffinitely it stopped the itching and slows down the balding process.posted Sep 29, 2005Link to this post
DebbieClipper Mills CAHmmm..I have been using this product and am not at all sure about it. I think it makes my hair too limp after application. I have tried it on both wet and dry hair finding the same result. Maybe by hair is too thin and cant support the weight. When I apply it to my scalp as directed I find it hard to style my hair as usual. I will keep using trying to work with it.posted Dec 24, 2004Link to this post

Tips for cooking with kale, swiss chard, spinach, collards, and other greens.
You've heard the term, maybe you've even danced around them, but what exactly are dark leafy greens? And why are they touted by so many nutritionists?
Dark leafy greens are varied in texture, size and taste but they are grouped into one family because of their bold hunter green hue and common nutrient content. Some of the greens also come in a small variety of colors (purple kale or red swiss chard, for example) and those too provide the same healthy boost as their verdant counterparts. The more color saturation of a fruit or vegetable, the more vitamins and minerals it supplies. So our dark leafy friends pack quite a punch when it comes to being nutrient dense.
The dark leafy family includes kale (green and purple, curly and dinosaur), swiss chard (green, red, and rainbow) collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, spinach, beet greens, and turnip greens. They all are excellent sources of vitamins A and C, calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium. Plant leaves are rich in chlorophyll, thus their robust color, and chlorophyll supports liver function and blood production.
To help you get to know them better, here are some interesting and lesser known facts:
Kale contains lutein and zeaxanthin which protect eyes from macular degeneration and colon against cancer.
Swiss Chard can ease constipation, helps stop hemorrhaging, and supports lungs and liver.
Collard Greens and Turnip Greens contain almost the same amount of calcium as milk.
Dandelion Greens are quite bitter which indicates they're a good tonic for the liver, spleen, pancreas, stomach and kidneys. A diuretic, laxative and anti-rheumatic; improves digestion, stimulates liver, reduces inflammation; antiviral, improves eczema, acne, jaundice, cirrhosis, gout and hepatitis.
Mustard Greens' bitter bite means that they move stuck energy so are good for stagnant issues like colds, arthritis, and depression.
Spinach moistens, supports vision, helps constipation, supports functioning of stomach, liver and large intestine, quenches thirst.
Beet Greens are more health-promoting than the beets themselves, with notable amounts of the B-complex vitamin.
When buying any of the dark greens, look for vibrant color, leaves that "stand at attention," crisp edges, no browning or wilting and of course organic, to avoid toxins and pesticides.
Preparation of spinach is the most familiar so here's a recipe to encourage getting the other greens onto your table. (This works best with greens other than spinach.)
Sauteed Greens
One bunch dark leafy greens, rinsed thoroughly, thick center stem removed, torn into large pieces
1.5 T olive oil (less if using a non-stick pan)
One yellow onion, chopped
⅓ cup fruit juice-sweetened dried cranberries (or raisins or currants)
1 T fresh lemon juice
Sea salt and freshly ground black or pink pepper
1 T Seaweed Gomasio (a blend of dried seaweed, sesame seeds and salt)
1. Sauté the onions in olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet until translucent and well wilted, even a bit brown if you enjoy that. Mix in the cranberries and let cook for 1-2 minutes.
2. Turn the heat to medium low and add the dark leafy greens. Using tongs, keep flipping them over so the ones on the top reach the heat on the bottom. After 2-3 minutes they should start to wilt.
3. Sprinkle on the lemon juice, salt and pepper and flip with the tongs to coat. Right away add a scant tablespoon of water and cover immediately to capture the steam.
4. Let stand covered for 1-2 minutes, only until the greens are bright and vibrant. As soon as they're bright green, take them out of the pan and put onto a serving plate. They will continue to cook with the residual heat.
5. Taste and add more lemon juice, salt or pepper as your preference dictates. Sprinkle generously with gomasio and serve immediately!
The vitamin C in the lemon juice assists the absorption of the iron in the greens. Use this recipe as a starting point and then get creative – put over a rice pilaf, stir into quinoa, or even have it for breakfast.
Kale in particular is a very versatile green. It can be roasted with olive oil, nutritional yeast, onion powder and sea salt to create dry " kale crisps" that even kids love.
A raw kale salad is best when the clean kale is torn by hand, put into a large bowl and massaged with olive oil then left to soften slightly for about 15-30 minutes. When combined with other salad veggies (shredded carrots, tomatoes, celery, red cabbage, etc) it becomes a hearty and soul-satisfying dish. Dressing for kale salad needs to be assertive like the green itself – here's a good one: Lime
Cumin Salad Dressing
Olive oil
Freshly squeezed lime juice
1-2 drops of essential oil of lime (therapeutic grade only)*
Sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
Use twice as much olive oil as lime juice. Add the essential oil of lime* and about a scant teaspoon of cumin for every ¼ cup of olive oil. Add salt and pepper and taste, taste, taste! Adjust as you go. If you have extra leftover, it will keep well in a glass jar in the fridge for about a week but you will have to add fresh lime juice to perk it up.
*Not all essential oils are safe to be ingested. Check the label to ensure that it is an approved supplement and safe for consumption.
Enjoy experimenting with the dark leafies: I'd love to hear how your creations turn out!

Otherwise she looks really healthy and beautiful anyone had this on their dogs before while brushing off the winter coat? i havent seen her chew or bite it? i think most of the dead hair from that area is gone now. but i just found a few red spots agitated from the brush bled a bit then stopped. |
by CMills on 03 June 2012 - 22:08 |
She has probably been chewing on herself cause the shedding hair is causing itching. |

Calif. governor nixes release of Manson follower
Bruce Davis would have been 1st Manson 'family' member to secure freedom solely for good behavior
UPDATED 4:27 PM EST Mar 01, 2013
California Gov. Jerry Brown reversed a decision to grant parole to Bruce Davis, a former follower of Charles Manson.
"When considered as a whole, I find the evidence ... shows why he currently poses a danger to society if released from prison," the governor wrote.
Brown's office had received a formal recommendation from the state board parole Friday to release Davis, 70, who would have been the first Manson "family" member to secure freedom solely for good behavior.
In 2010, Davis secured his first formal recommendation for parole by the state board, but then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reversed the board's decision.

Dishonored-style games have "always been hard to sell"
Dishonored is now considered a franchise, and that's extremely validating for developer Arkane Studios, which championed the difficult genre through to critical and commercial success.
Fri, Nov 02, 2012 | 14:55 GMT
Dishonored's protagonist wasn't originally silent
Dishonored's sometimes stabby protagonist, Corvo, wasn't initially designed to be mute, according to the game's co-creator.

Dishonored to do right by its multiple platforms
Dishonored dev, Arkane Studios, has implemented system-specific tweaks to ensure that whatever your choice of platform for its stealth-action assassination title, that platform will feel like home.

Dishonored PC won't use a console UI
Although Arkane Studios has its share of passionate console gamers, its heart lies with the PC – which is why the PC release of Dishonored has its own user interface rather than sharing one with the control-pad friendly console versions.
Tue, Aug 30, 2011 | 05:43 BST
Dishonored allows pure stealth, no-kill approach
Arkane Studios' latest, Dishonored, allows for entirely pacifist playthroughs – but the way you play the game changes the world around you, for good and ill.

Arkane: FPS games like Dishonored were at one time a hard sell to publishers
Arkane Studios co-founder Raphaël Colantonio and creative director Harvey Smith recently chatted with AusGamers about the studio's upcoming release for Bethesda, Dishonored, and both feel there is plenty of room on shelves for the first-person shooter alongside those based on military conquest.

Dishonored shots and video interview released
A developer interview hosted by CVG has been released, featuring Arkane's Raphael Colantonio chatting about the firm's new game, Dishonored. The game has one hell of a team behind it, with alumni's from Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Deus Ex and Half Life 2, so it's bound to be interesting. The video is posted below, along with two new screenshots and one bit of concept art. Dishonored is due next year on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Arkane: We were more "dependent" than "independent"

Long Lake
It's easy to be confused by the name, Long Lake. After all, there are over 25 lakes so named within the borders of Maine and nearly as many with the name Long Pond. At the northern tip of Maine is Long Lake in St. Agatha, where many towns are identified by letters and numbers representing township and range, rather than by name. Long Lake sits mostly within St. Agatha, T17, R3 and T17, R4.
Long Lake is the deepest of the Fish River chain of lakes and covers 6,000 acres with a maximum water depth of 163 feet. The surrounding land is primarily agricultural and forest land and has a number of camps and cottages along the shorelines.
Public access may be gained at St. Agatha, on the west shore alongside Route 162, at the southwestern tip at Sinclair; as well as a remote small boat access at the end of the Lake Road on the extreme southern tip of Long Lake. Floatplane access is also available alongside Route 162 just north of Sinclair.
Arostook County, more commonly termed, "The County" is larger than Connecticut and Rhode Island combined, and is best known for its agricultural uses; primarily potatoes and broccoli. Lakes and ponds throughout The County offer anglers plenty of outstanding landlocked salmon and brook tout opportunities. Brook trout and landlocked salmon in Long Lake average between 16 inches in length and weigh an average of 5 pounds. Long Lake is open to ice fishing from January 1 through March 31.
Lodging, guides and other services can be found in St. Agatha or the nearby border town of Madawaska.

From building robotic bees to studying real mosquitoes, these researchers were able to pursue their scientific dreams thanks to being banked by 2009 economic recovery act funding
February 17, 2010 | 11
Robotic bees? Studying the effect of stimulus spending for research on boosting research?
No offense to Joe Biden, but I believe taxpayers could have utilized the money more wisely for themselves.
Yes, they would've either spent it on useless crap they'd be throwing away in two months, or sticking into a savings account to further stimulate Wall Street. There is no such thing as useless scientific research.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIf you think $10 million is too much on those robotic bees, clearly you've never heard how much DARPA and the Navy have invested in microrobotics.
Incidentally, you might think differently in 15 years, when microrobots are routinely scouring earthquake rubble for victims, searching buildings for hostages, scouting terrain for IEDs...
Silly, dskan, Soccerdad has never been interested in facts or practical applications.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisSo, the argument is that taxpayers are not entitled to keep their own money because they will waste it on "useless crap" or "sticking it into a savings account". Interesting position. Also interesting is the statement that there is no such thing as useless scientific research.
Here's a topic for study. Why do socialists believe they are more suited to spending a taxpayer's money than the taxpayer themselves?
What a load. 1.8 mil studying the impact of global warming on the transmission of infectious diseases. No rise for the last 15 years. No proof of any unnatural warming. Now that we're gonna be tied to earth, me and Stephen Hawking are pissed.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to this@Soccerdad, one of the errors in your rant is that the money belongs to the taxpayer and therefore the government is unjustly taking it from them. It takes a great deal of ignorance and arrogance to think that the money you earn was as a result of your efforts and your efforts alone. Society has protected you with a criminal justice system and emergency services, has protected your interests outside of the country with diplomatic, intelligence and military services, has enabled you to work by providing you and your employer with infrastructure and the list goes on. The technologies industries commercialize often have their origins in publicly funded science or military research projects. Furthermore, the whole concept of money is an artificial construct that is created and supported by the state. It is the government's job to determine how the public's money is best spent. Sometimes the government will spend a buck to generate 2 bucks worth of jobs and security for you and your family. Therefore you owe your fellow Americans your share of those expenses. The fact that you do not appreciate the complexities of economics underscores why no one asked you to make those decisions.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisMY THEORY is the bees wing is obsorbing friction from the top of the wing then emitting the friction on bottom of the wing, causing the bee to create a anti-gravity situation or take the path of least resistance. So they are falling up. Yes I am the best at what I do.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisRobert,
Is your real last name Gibbs?
Nice to see all of our tax dollars are going to good use. Do they really think they'll learn how to manage emergency medical response and traffic through a hive of robotic bee's?
Granted, I find it interesting and there could be some potential scientific benefits. But can we really afford to be spending 10 million dollars on a hive of robotic bee's? These are the types of projects/decisions that lead to the problems we're trying to fix in our economy
good question. I'll put down another 10 million for the answer to that one. ;)

Tagged: Dad
I Blame My Dad for My Coffee Addiction
I didn't start drinking coffee until I was in the 8th grade. Anytime before then, my mom would treat it the same way she let me try alcohol. A sip here or there of the most wretched stuff, trying to deter me from drinking it. Apparently I had terrible times sleeping as a kid whenever I had hot chocolate or anything of the sort.
When I hit junior high I now had the freedom to wander wherever I wanted at lunch and eat and drink whatever I wanted. This accounted for me going to KFC every Tuesday in the ninth grade, but that's another story for another time.
I first started out with the really sugary drinks – a caramel macchiato or vanilla fudge brownie latte, something with lots of flavour and whipped cream on top. When you're 14 your only goal is the awesome whipped cream and not really giving two thoughts about the coffee.
But when I started going to high school, things changed a little bit.
Firstly, my dad gave me a ride to work everyday. This was a symbiotic relationship for the both of us. He got me to school on time, and since I was up early, it meant that he went to work on time too. I really enjoyed the morning drive with my dad, it was a consistent time of the day that we had together. We got to talk about sports or news or family stuffs and the drive wasn't too long that we could ever get into anything to deep.
Now, the best part of driving to school with my dad, was stopping at Tim Horton's in the morning. There was a drive thru about 2 minutes from my school on the main road, so it was the perfect pit-stop before school/work. Every Canadian knows Timmy Ho's is the place to go for coffee, and being recently introduced to the drink, I was weary as what to order. I knew I wouldn't want black, but I didn't need to have coffee with my sugar.
From seeing enough Tim's ads on TV, I knew the classic All-Canadian coffee was the double double. I went with that and haven't gone back.
One of the first things I ever bought when I moved into my first home away from home was a coffee maker, and a big container of Folgers coffee. This was a mistake. I still have about half the grounds left in that container. My roommates bought me Tim Horton's coffee for my birthday, and I've never wanted to drink anything else.
I still stop at Tim Horton's on the way to work in the early mornings and if I'm at home, I've always got my coffee maker ready to go.
Most people think that coffee addictions are on par with any other addiction. Frankly, I like my addiction. It brought me closer to my dad and will always be something we have.
So here's to you Dad.
Sunshine of My Love
So I guess it's been a long time since I've actually written anything about my life on here. A lot has gone on since I last posted.
I ended up having my best semester in school, with 2 A-'s, a B+, a C+ (which is being appealed), and a C. Hurray for me.
I moved out of my place in residence at school. I have definitely accumulated way too much stuff over my two years living there. I had two medium sized tupperware containers and one large (maybe 6 foot x 2 foot x 2 foot) tupperware container – just filled with books and stuff and crap and all this stupid random stuff. I had 2 x 3 ft ziploc bags full of clothes, 1 5 ft ziploc bag full of clothes. Then one re-usuable bag for my picture frames, two gym bags, one box for my keyboard. And that's just stuff I left there. I brought home another box and another tupperwear, my guitar and two suitcases of clothes. And then some shoes and other crap.
So I was fortunate enough that my two roommates had gotten a storage locker and had enough room for my stuff too. On my last day I got my stuff into the locker and headed downtown with girlfriend for dinner at our favourite little Chinese place. Which was nice. I really miss her lots. She won't be coming home at all this summer. She's finishing up her degree and staying behind without me. Makes me sad.
I flew out here last Wednesday and got home late-ish. And every time I come home from the airport I hope and dream that my mom will let me sit in the front seat on the car ride home. And every time, without fail, my hopes and dreams are shattered. So I finally got home and relaxed.
And that's what I've been doing basically for the past week. Nothing. I went to see the KGB on Thursday. They were pretty good, luckily we came early enough that we didn't have to pay the $15 cover. I was impressed that they're playing so many shows and have a bit of a fan base going. It was really awkward, I saw my old band teacher at the show that night. He came and sat with us and talked for their entire set. Unfortunately he conned us into buy tickets to his jazz show on the weekend. We got suckered and bought tickets. (http://www.myspace.com/kronicgrooveband)
This show was at the Beat Niq and featured a bunch of people I had never heard of. It was okay – probably not worth the money we paid but whatever. It was what I like to call free jazz – which follows a very loose form of chorus – solo – solo – solo – chorus. Where each player (there was 3 and a drummer) would take solos. This is fine and all, but the choruses sound so off and random. The band doesn't really sound like a band. Each player does their own thing and the sound is very incoherent. I'm not sure if this is the sonic goal of this style, but it's definitely not something for everyone.
So basically the only point for me coming home was to work all summer and make lots of money. So far that's a flop. My brother has deemed me a 'jobless shithead'. But that's okay. Maybe I'll just free-load of my parents all summer. Sounds like a good plan to me. I had an interview today with the City, as an event crew member. I'm probably going to get this job, but it's only on call, so that probably won't yield very many hours. I was going to have an interview at the Gap – but the guy hasn't returned 3 of my calls. I also had an interview @ CJSW – the local university radio station. Doing a job that I would really love. Unfortunately I got a phone call from them this afternoon saying that although I had a great interview and a great portfolio – there was just someone out there that's better than me. The shitty thing for me is that my resume is so specific that it doesn't apply to anything else. I really have no skills in the service industry. Or any other industry other than my own. Sigh.
Umm. I hate being home. I hate living with my parents. They drive me insane daily. Every time I sit down for dinner, I feel like it's the "15-minutes-of-interrogation" where they try and ask me as many questions as possible in a little time span. Since my brother took our other car to Edmonton with him for the summer, our 3-piece family is left with one vehicle. My dad takes the bus to work (how green of him) and that means my mom and I have to share our other car. This is a pain in the ass. Being at home is a pain in the ass. I spend most of my time in my studio – where I lose most sense of time with no windows.
Most of my friends here have been either too busy or just don't care. When talking to them about coming back they all seemed excited about seeing me and wanting to hang out. So far I've seen four people since I've come back. I don't expect that number to get much higher in the coming months. I'm starting to learn that people are generally really excited about the idea of seeing you when you come home from university – but in practice it doesn't really happen.
I've been having a terrible time being away from Girlfriend. It's terrible trying to do a long distance relationship again. We said we were going to break up for the summer – but it's just stupid and too hard for both of us to not want to be together. I hate being away from home, from her, and Geoffery. We've been watching lots of new Robert De Niro movies, Raging Bull, and Taxi Driver. Both weird fucked up movies. De Niro was good though. I've been watching the second season of Parks and Recreation – it's pretty good. Definitely better than the first, but not as good as the Office. Hopefully it keeps going. Next is Breaking Bad.
Sigh. Here's a few pictures of my new set-up at home.
So basically I hate being home and I hate living here! How are you doing? Probably better than me. Can't wait for this summer to be over.
Later days,

We're joined the Disco Brothers there Peter and Justin.
The president and product concoction -- From -- -- quite a title there I'd just him but thank you judge gentlemen so much for joining us here.
To talk a little bit about it as we it's move.
To talk about urban by bicycling we've seen a bit of a Renaissance.
In that just in this -- definitely hear in New York City.
Where they've -- bike -- in the past couple years they've -- and it we've seen this happening in London they have the Barclays bikes.
Gentlemen thanks so much for joining us how did you get involved it's a twenty year old brand.
How did you get involved with -- and -- -- -- about where your -- -- taken next.
We're second generation by family so for us growing up in the bike industry it was very natural -- Can have our careers.
And then come back to two cycling.
With -- in particular we're from Santa Cruz which is as well as the Bay Area brand.
And so for us.
It's something that we -- -- to take over the brand from the old owners.
Pete -- wanted to work together as Brothers and -- and here we are.
Yeah and me really really is a homecoming for us we both.
Spent a lot of years in cycling industry well I -- lot of different levels.
Well our bikes are are focused for the urban -- they are internally -- -- fixed -- we have we have a couple different models.
-- -- in our bikes are easy to maintain easy to ride easy you know they're they're really.
You know built for that urban market where.
It's it's not about race and it's just about the last dollar being on -- bicycle.
So our bikes are very you know kind of slide right in -- you don't have to think about -- just jump on and -- him so.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- you know I've spoken about in the past year -- something you really are looking to do is to make this say I made in the USA type company you're already doing that with some of the gear.
Talk me about the challenges so of manufacturing the bicycles stateside.
Well it it does the vice.
As it is very big it's become a niche as far as the manufactures its -- -- on demand.
Manufacturing which is great for us we did manufacture the bulk of our bikes in Taiwan.
Which is great however we really started to look it -- -- in the U last because.
Yeah I've made my whole career -- products overseas and for us.
I'm starting to make -- more more products in the US.
Has been challenging however -- it's really rewarding yet and and the contract manufacturers are also very.
Willing to work with us and in even though we're we're worth twenty year old brand were technically a start up again.
We just it sees a lot easier personal leverage that.
That brand.
It but you know.
It's like every talks about the -- US manufacturing is is on the decline.
Every contract manufacturer we've just we've talked with.
-- -- Yeah it's really hard time that Americans that contract -- back American Dad! yeah yeah all of our apparel is made in the United States -- perhaps we we try to outsource locally if we can.
We found some great contract manufacturers for the apparel you know in Colorado.
And so for us that makes sense it's -- were able to actually go down to the factory were able to know the manufacturer union you know address is crucial yeah it.
And we're also and there I mean where there are opportunities and we're actually pursuing opportunities it to do bicycle manufacturing.
In the US and that's a big goal for just -- deputies US manufacturing what has been.
The biggest hurdle and it was it relocate -- company from.
Physically from California to Colorado is that pretty easy -- in the the via Internet and and things of that nature and and what has been the biggest hurdle to getting the brand back up and going again and in -- literally recycling.
Brand name.
The biggest the biggest hurdle and I think for -- for Justin and we do have a third partner is is.
Finding the time to really focus on this but recently we've -- we've turned the corner and full time on -- now.
Let's you know of the manufacturing was a challenge you know re starting all those.
All those channels not only here in the US but also in Asia.
It takes a lot of time more time -- I think a lot of people realize.
Changing manufactures and you have to go through that whole.
Getting to know than they have to get to know you as well so even even reinventing banks that have -- -- made.
Really was a challenge because we had to have them made in in new facilities so the last year we spent a lot of time.
Basically rebuilding those brands re engineering what was before as -- as coming up with some new stuff.
And -- Justin and clearly new courtship period for your retail partners as well I mean you have some big names out there REI among them.
How difficult was it to reestablish -- -- channels there and is that.
You did you inherit some of these guys are all of them brand new to your team and are you expanding that lineup.
Well we did it -- -- some some bears some interest.
For us it was is -- was rekindling those relationships.
Again this is where we're second generation -- we we know.
Not so much the buyers -- -- -- of the industry people actually that were probably starting up their careers -- we met him and now they're all executives -- -- on the sales side.
It's it's great though because we have -- establish relationship with REI.
We have sport chalet and in California and -- throughout there.
It's been a great way for us to have a start up.
Because -- have established relationships yeah if you're very inward.
It -- it does and they were making some efficiencies.
We got are really insight on how the old what -- -- a process.
He firm locally.
That has freed up our our time you know for us we're able to manage on rebuilding the brand and not.
It has to me that's a professional.
You -- pack our boxes regular you know make sure that every Stan -- -- protocols that we just outlined indeed just very briefly launch date is approaching and will people be willing to go live on -- -- -- buy them online or in in stores.
Yes and so right now we have a pretty pretty substantial list of folks have signed up on the Enola S we'll start offering some product to those folks because they've been.
Real you know.
Patient customer's -- but the site will go launch in about a month.
And I'll be actually hit the road and about fifteen is now down -- out for the rest of the summer yeah driver driving around hit -- -- -- rose.
Show over went what better way over than -- near -- -- -- -- right Peter just idiotic Disco Brothers.
Thank you so much good luck to you a cheque back again when -- -- and -- that's a status of of the made in in the USA bicycles and thanks so much for joining us here.

text: I got these to replace an old pair of Merrell walking shoes that I'd had for about 10 years that finally died. I wanted something waterproof, lighter-weight, but still supportive. I also wanted the possibility of breaking into running while out with them. So, they fit nicely - the toe is a bit roomy. With other brands I usually take a 9, with Merrell it's 9.5. The sole is quite flexible (compared to the rigidity of a proper walking shoe/boot), but I feel like they support my feet and toes well. They're quite warm shoes. It says they are breathable, but if I wear them casually for extended periods I sometimes find that I have mildly damp socks after a while - but not so much that it's problem. I like them, I wear them casually, to go walking in, and to run (off road) in. They have some cushioning which is just right. They're lightweight. I like the ankle support. They're good as a versatile all-round shoe that works in most situations.

Beautifully appointed rooms, shingled rooftops, private courtyards and magnificent gardens combine to recreate the charming atmosphere of romantic bed-and-breakfast inns found along the mid-Atlantic coast of the 1940s. Plus bustling nightclubs, restaurants and shops at Disney's BoardWalk entertainment district, adjacent to the Resort, recapture the fun and excitement of bygone waterfront villages and shorelines.
