After last year's GN, our club shipped several awards to folks. I believe that our club absorbed the shipping cost on them.
I attended the Warwick, R.I. show which was fantastic by the way. A very dear friend of mine also brought his 1968 GT500KR to his first MCA show and first concours show in over 40 years of owning this car. He was thrilled to participate and spent untold funds and time in preparing his car for the show. Due to an unforeseen family issue he had to leave early Sunday AM. Much to his surprise he won a gold trophy.
He and I have both contacted Jim Silverman in regards to shipping the trophy. We have offered to ship a box to Jim and pay for full shipping back. I have even offered to pay ABOVE shipping costs in addition to shipping a box to him. There would be ZERO cost involved on Jim's part. His answer over and over? " We don't ship trophies (period)." I've offered to pay OVER shipping again . "His answer ? "We don't ship trophies (period)."
Ok, no worries. I'm trailering my car 1400 miles ONE WAY to the mustang,OK show. Spending thousands for this 3 day show. I've asked him to bring the trophy with him and I'll accept it at the OK show. Again offered to pay for any additional costs. His answer? " I only fly with carryons and would have no room" Really?? For an eleven ounce trophy?? Wow!
He did offer to have it with him at a show 500 miles from our home and we could "pick it up" there. Really? What kind of arrogant person do we have as a head judge or a show chairman for that matter?
To offer a bit of background on myself: I assist in organizing the Ford Nationals at Carlisle. Yes, the largest Ford event on the planet. I personally mailed a few dozens awards this year. I actually charged exact shipping and in some cases less to mail these awards in thanks for the people who traveled in some cases thousands of miles one way to the show.
I am appalled at the arrogance of Mr. Silverman. Just appalled. Both I and the car owner have offered above and beyond to compensate Mr. SIlverman for the inconvenience of mailing this trophy to a gentleman who won his first concours award in over 40 years of owning the car. He has given every excuse possible. I personally have no dog in this other than tying to help a dear friend who isn't that computer savvy at all. He is not internet connected and is confused why we are having so much issue with this. I also fully expect judging ramifications concerning my vehicle at future national events for now publicly insulting a National head judge. Please don't try to tell me otherwise. Human nature is human nature and Mr. Silverman has already demonstrated his audacity and arrogance in one thing and I see no reason why this character flaw won't carry over to judging my car.
Thank You Mr. Silverman for being an upstanding show chairman and breaking the heart of an original owner of car our club was founded on.

This is a first, for anyone who knows me, I don't have an arrogant bone in my body. But then again perception from emails sometimes do not portray what the person is feeling while typing. If you perceive I was arrogant I apologize, its not my nature.
Also there is a few other things I would want you to understand. I was not the show chairman of the show, and the show committee and BOD voted they would not ship trophies to people who left early. We always gladly give it to someone there who will bring it to the winner. These trophies were expensive and also delicate, and shipping would need special packaging. We have had other people who left early and we told them we were not shipping the trophies. They understood and that was it. If we start changing our tune in the middle, that in itself would cause all kinds of problems. I know you asked if I can take it with me to the Grand National. I travel with carry-ons and pack very tightly, and yes the trophies are not heavy but they would take up allot of room in my luggage. I don't think I am being unreasonable offering the trophy at our show at Mustangs Unlimited. It is not 500 miles from your town more like 350, about a 5 hour ride. I will forward your concerns to the show chairman, I think he maybe going to the GN. Again I went through each email and it concerns me you put my replies in the way you did. I purposely tried to explain the situation, and ended the emails with a "sorry", and the sorry was more than a word.
Mr. Silverman, I will attempt to address your comments one at a time.
and the show committee and BOD voted they would not ship trophies to people who left early. Why? When other national and grand national events have done so. Are there no exceptions for family issues? What is the reason if someone offered to send a box and postage PLUS extra as we have done? What is the reason for that?
These trophies were expensive and also delicate, and shipping would need special packaging. A box with bubble wrap would be fine. I have shipped glass trophies which are as or more fragile than the RI ones. Dozens as a matter of fact with zero issues.
We have had other people who left early and we told them we were not shipping the trophies. They understood and that was it. Please see above sentence under the word arrogance in the dictionary sir.
If we start changing our tune in the middle, that in itself would cause all kinds of problems.What problems?
and yes the trophies are not heavy but they would take up allot of room in my luggage. They are 8 inches by 5 inches by 3 inches.
I don't think I am being unreasonable offering the trophy at our show at Mustangs Unlimited. It is not 500 miles from your town more like 350, about a 5 hour ride. You are most certainly being unreasonable. So, my friend needs to drive 500 miles (I've looked it up) one way to get this? If not than what is your definition of unreasonable? Even at 350 miles you find this a reasonable solution?
Again I went through each email and it concerns me you put my replies in the way you did.This conversation started with the utmost discretion via PMs and email. I chose to post this to show the membership the arrogance portrayed by somone who claims to have the membership in his best intrest.
and ended the emails with a "sorry", and the sorry was more than a word.
And the sorry gets the gentleman his trophy how?
Sir, In either case the gentleman will not renew nor attend any additional national events because of your attitude towards him. I organize events that are larger than all the nationals and grand national combined. I make exceptions all the time when neccesary as I want my attendees to feel welcomed and realize that things come up and it's those who paid thousands or hundreds or twenty dollars that make the events possible in the first place. I spend my own time and money to send out post show trophies. I've offered to send you a box and extra postage for your trouble. This is where we are at. It really is a shame and although I will continue to visit every national event with MY vehicle I can only hope that there will be no " good ole' boy" mentality when it comes to judging MY car although I suspect there will be reciprocity shown towards my vehicle. I was reluctant to even get involved in the first place for fear of future judging animosity. That was until I read your replies via email to this gentleman. I couldn't let a friend be treated this way.
Good day Sir.
If this member is offering to send a box with pre-paid return shipping, I see no reason why that can't work. Although, under the circumstances, it shouldn't be necessary. Compassion for others in the hobby transcends any written rules.
I couldn't agree more. As I mentioned earlier I have personally mailed out dozens of awards this year alone. I feel that I have an obligation to make sure my attendees have a great time and if a few dollars of shipping will make a difference so be it. That being said I wouldn't ask that of anyone. The gentleman offered to send a box and shipping to cover any and all costs and was met with a flat out " Sorry, no." I feel obligated to get involved since I encouraged him to join and enter his car after owing it for 40+ years. It is a time machine! I honestly thought that Mr. Silverman would mail it out or at the least bring it with him to OK where I am trailering my car over 1400 miles one way. I was shocked at his response and appealed to him again with no results. I am shocked quite frankly over his response.
This reason I got involved is because I convinced the owner to join and trailer his car 6+ hours to the show for the first time in over 40 years. He is true gentleman and a great friend. The whole scenario has upset him (rightfully so). In either case there can be no good outcome as he and I are both upset and Mr. Silverman, National head judge and show Co-chair is unwilling to compromise for fear of "problems".
Edit: Ah, to reaffirm my point, the title of the thread was altered. Did I strike to close to home Mr. Silverman? Should I also expect reciprocity in judging when I attend future national events? Will you let your personal feelings affect your judging team when judging my car? Since I have now publicly "called you out" will I be a pariah at future events concerning my judged vehicle? I suspect I already know the answer to those questions but only time will tell. I also suspect this post will be altered as well.
This simple request has gotten so out of hand that a new member is upset and another member now fears of judging ramifications because of insulting a head judge. Great camaraderie.

As an MCA member, you have a right to voice your opinion, but would also suggest you contact others such as the MCA president to help resolve this issue. While Steve and I may have had differences in the past, I do know he is very compassionate about the club and members and will do the right thing.
Last comments on this matter.
I did say I would forward the matter to the Show Chairman, I believe he is going to the grand national, and is driving.
Second, I got conflicting statements on the reason he left the show. I know you said he had unforeseen family issues is why he had to leave. But I received an email earlier from a lady at Parker Oil company, saying "Unfortunately Mr. Parker was unable to stay for the awards because he had to return to Maryland for a business meeting" (copy and pasted from the email)
I just wish we would be a little more correct in what one is saying.
How about giving this member the benefit of a doubt and stop bickering over who said what. There wouldn't be any shows without entrants.
Again Charles,
I was not the Show Chair, not even the Co Chair. I said I forwarded it to the Show Chair. He is going to the GN.

We have stayed here before and it was SO much worse this time. Asked for no smoking room. All of Ohio is supposed to be nonsmoking in hotels, I think. Anyway, the staff break area is right outside the room we got and all their smoke wafted into our room. The room stank, the bed was hard and very uncomfortable - you could feel the springs in the mattress. […] The pillows were inadequate. It was so late at night that the thought of finding a different room or even a different hotel was unappealing so we suffered through it - but never again. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Pet friendly and close to the Wilds."
We chose this hotel because it was pet friendly and close to the Wilds. The front desk person who I believe is the only person working there -she was the only person we saw in our three-day two night stay- was extremely friendly. She tried to be helpful, but seemed unable to help with most of our requests. The hotel seem to be in a transition of some […] sort. There was a lack of supplies. No "Do no disturb" signs left, no extra pillows. ( The 2 pillows per bed that were issued were flat and uncomfortable.) The free breakfast was mediocre. The stay was merely okay. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Great hotel, great staff and great price!"
Was a little apprehensive about staying at Super 8 but was very happy with our stay. The hotel manager was so friendly and helpful. The shower was awesome. Much better than the shower in a very expensive hotel I stayed at in Las Vegas recently. Great complimentary breakfast that included delicious Belgian waffles. The hotel was very quiet and although […] they allowed lets, there were no odors and I didn't hear any noise from the many dogs I saw while I was there. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because upon check in I noticed the bed sheets didn't look clean. I called the front desk and they immediately sent the housekeeper up with fresh sheets and she kindly changed them. She explained that if you are a stay over (meaning more than one night) they only change the sheets every 3 days so we suspect they thought the room was a stay over and didn't change the sheets. They made the problem right immediately so all was well. The hotel manager and housekeeper were very helpful with tips of what to do in the town. Great concierge service!! もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

Room was fine and staff was great but we were supposed to be in a "Non-Smoking" room and it reeked from smoke odor. There was even an ashtray in the room, although it was clean. It's a shame because otherwise it would have been rated all 4's and 5's.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Not a good bang for the buck!"
When we arrived to check into the hotel, there was only one person at the desk. I had to wait through several telephone calls to get my room. Then when we finally got into the room, we noticed a women's bra had been left hanging on the bathroom door. Once we got ready to get into bed, it looked as though the sheets had not been changed from the previous […] guest as there were wrinkles in the sheets from being slept on. The continental breakfast was OK, but a couple of times we had to ask the front desk to replenish the coffee and other items. The hotel does not have a person monitoring the breakfast area. The orange juice was warm and the waffle iron does not have any spray to keep the waffles from sticking to the iron when cooking. For the price we paid for our room, I would not stay at this hotel again. The mattress was so firm, I ended up with a backache and when we asked for additional towels, we were told they would be delivered to the room. I ended up having to go to the front desk at 11:00 PM and again wait for the attendant to get off the telephone before I could get my extra towels. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

"easy to find, just off the highway"
This was a decent place to stop along the road, although it was a bit expensive considering we stayed at a better hotel in a resort town on the same trip for less and got more. Although there is a price match guarantee, it seems Zanesville itself is inordinately expensive and if I make the same trip again I will probably just stop in another town altogether. […] The staff was friendly and the room was clean and well-appointed, although the hall smelled strongly of cigarettes. Its location surrounded by gas stations right on the highway was quite convenient for our needs but made me somewhat nervous about the car, especially considering the "not responsible for theft" sign in the parking lot.

Hello -
I was wondering if this script could import from a text file and then put the matches into MM search result window.
During the day I walk around and suddenly a song pops into my head. I edit a text file on my phone, which is sync'd with my home computer running MM. When I get home, I want to run this script on the text file and automatically have a list of the songs that I wanted to hear ready to go.
Let me know if I'm barking up the wrong tree, but this script looks like the closest to what I am looking for...

Call Me Maybe is a very above average pop song.
I like it.
My tumblr page, yo: http://heyitsmario.tumblr.com/
I'll agree the song is better than some of the modern pop out there, but I don't particularly like it. I watched the full video to see the peoples' reactions though.
Sorry guys i couldn't resist, thought some of you would laugh as hard as i did... when you put yourself on chat roulette you never know what your going to see LOL.
The Cure [1]
Queen [28?]
My Chem. [3]
This song is still a thing?
Huh. Guess that's what happens when you intentionally avoid listening to it.
Addicted to bad movies since 2008
That song is an audio plague that burrows in and eats at your brain like Trichinosis. I had the displeasure of hearing it once at my cousin's wedding.
And yes, I am an elitist who prefers to avoid what's popular and disposable in favor of music that has a bit more substance to it.
Of course...
Bands I'd love to see as DLC for Rock Band:
Bathory []
Bal Sagoth []
Amorphis []
Emperor [X]
Enslaved []
Nah, thanks for the link. I hadn't seen that one yet. I laughed along with ya.
I enjoy the song, but I don't listen to the radio so I'm not completely burnt out on it yet. As far as the video's concerned, that was pretty awesome. It was fun seeing the random chatters laugh and even play along. Hooray for the internetz.
5+ years, 4,000+ songs, 1 awesome developer. Thank you!
this was my first time hearing the song...

The Vineyard Surface Water Treatment Plant represents the biggest project ever undertaken by the Sacramento County Water Agency. The Vineyard Plant plays a critical role in reducing our region's dependence on groundwater and will ultimately help to preserve and sustain groundwater resources within the county. The Vineyard Plant features an innovative cooling design to adjust outside air for the interiors of the building. It also has an architectural design that maximizes the use of natural daylight and automated lighting control systems to minimize energy consumption. The plant also has local and recycled construction materials that were used throughout the construction process. Power for the operations of the facility is provided by a solar photovoltaic generating system built on the roof of the clear well. This solar power system has the capacity to generate more than 1MW of direct current.
FEMA Upgrades Sacramento County to a Class 3 in the National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System (effective 1 May 2013). Residents in flood hazard areas receive 35 percent discount on flood insurance premiums. River Friendly Inspiration Garden is Now Open Sacramento County recently celebrated the grand opening of the new River-Friendly Inspiration Garden. Originally a water conservation demonstration garden, it has been renovated to showcase River-Friendly Landscaping practices. The garden is located in the Laguna Creek Watershed next to the Sacramento County Water Agency's Water Treatment Plant on Waterman Road between Rendham Way and Westray Drive, about 0.4 mile north of Calvine. The garden is open 7am–7pm daily.

Romney describes shared conservative vision in 'closing argument'
Romney says Obama has produced few of economic results promised
In a speech billed as the "closing argument" of Mitt Romney's year-and-a-half long presidential campaign, the GOP nominee Friday presented the case that four years of President Barack Obama had produced few of the economic results that were promised at the beginning of his term.
"The closing hours of a campaign have a dynamic of their own," Romney said in a speech outside Milwaukee, describing how some people were just beginning to tune into the presidential race as the contest comes to a close.
"We ask you to look beyond the speeches and the attacks and the ads. Look to the record, the accomplishments and failures, and the judgment. Words are cheap. A record is real and earned with effort. Change cannot be measured in speeches; it is measured in achievements," Romney said, before launching into a list of areas he said Obama had failed to live up to his vows as a candidate in 2008.
The Republican candidate said if he were president, "Every entrepreneur, every small business person, every job creator will know that for the first time in four years the government of the United States likes business and loves the jobs and higher wages businesses can bring."
The visit marked Romney's first stop in Wisconsin since the day after he announced Rep. Paul Ryan, a native of the state, as his running mate. The vice presidential choice effectively put Wisconsin in play, but recent polls show Romney slightly behind Obama.
According to a CNN Poll of Polls in the state, an average of three Wisconsin polls of likely voters conducted over the past week, Obama has a 51 percent-44 percent advantage over Romney.
He also promised to be an effective partner with Congress, saying Obama was guilty of rebuffing legislators during the three-and-a-half years he's been in office.
"I mean he has ignored them. He has attacked them. He has blamed them," Romney said. "The debt ceiling will come up again and shut down and default will be threatened, chilling the economy. The president was right when he said we said he can't change Washington from the inside. In this case you can take him at his word. We are going to put him outside soon."
Describing his campaign as a "movement," Romney said the "shared conviction" of his supporters motivated him to become a better candidate.
"It has made me strive even more to be worthy of the office, to campaign as I would govern, to speak for the aspirations of all Americans," Romney said.
Prior to taking the stage, Romney got a big cheesehead boost from NFL Hall of Famer Bart Starr. The former Green Bay Packers quarterback began to tear up as the vocal audience gave Starr a big welcome.
"This is quite a thrill for my wife and me to be here today with you," he said, wiping away tears. "We lived here in Green Bay for 31 years. It will always be our adopted home."
Starr cracked open a book written by coaching legend Vince Lombardi, who wrote about the qualities of leadership.
"If you read inside this," Starr said, "He is talking about a Mitt Romney."
The former football star read a few passages, including a list of what Lombardi considered to be excellent characteristics. They boiled down, he said, to two traits: "integrity and excellence."
"That's quite frankly, ladies and gentlemen, what I have seen in Gov. Mitt Romney," Starr said.
After the event, Romney walked over to greet an overflow crowd of supporters, to whom the GOP nominee stressed the importance of turning out the vote.
"This will probably be a turnout election," he said. "Let me tell you, one vote times a hundred thousand is a hundred thousand. We need a lot of votes."
With four days left, Romney made one final prediction: "We're going to do something that surprises a few people in the White House that are there right now, and that is we're going to win Wisconsin on Tuesday."

OK, I've now seen this issue once.
I was near the southern edge of the map and I critically injured a Devilmander in the Forsaken Coast - the Devilmander immediately ran away due South. I was handling other Devilmanders so didn't pursue, but I watched the guy go straight off the edge of the map! He did not come back!!
I don't know if this is considered a "feature", or a "bug", that critical injured mobs can "escape" you by going "off map", but I thought I'd mention it...

These are some of the daily sketches from the previous weeks. I usually do a round-up on my blog which is totally redundant, but since I was up to week nine before I started the tumblr, all those sketches are lost in time… like tears on fire off the shoulder of orion… Wait I think I messed that up. Anyway, I am posting the links to those here because I am annoying like that, and also because I am waiting for paint to dry right now and that is the most boring thing in the world (right up there with watching cricket).
So BEHOLD: the links to the nine weeks that aren't on the tumblr

Firing Squad
I read it and laughed. IE7? Who on earth uses IE7?
Apparently "Kogan" customers, if you can believe this one. Kogan is an Australian online only retailer.
Apparently, IE7 doesn't render their webpages particularly well so, Kogan has decided to charge a 6.8% "surcharge" on customers using IE7 because of the time necessary to create code "work arounds". Kogan's sees this as a mission to eliminate the browser from the 1.3% of Australians still using it.
The Kogan rep was quoted, "we all have a responsibility to make the Internet a better place. By taking these measures, we are doing our bit."
The added income won't hurt, and neither will all the free press they got out of it.
So, this is what an IE7 user sees when arriving at the website:
Laughter aside, Kogan's is right about IE7 not being a secure browser to use, as well as the cost estimates to businesses to accommodate it.
Yeah, but I was just being facetious, Doc. I could never be so arrogant, or greedy to think of such a ridiculous charge.
I'm a firm believer of acquiring only that which one is entitled to... and that would exclude payments from bogus charges.
Its not a bogus charge, IE7 is a mess and supporting it costs them extra.
I was actually referring to my own, tongue-in-cheek comment: re, charging sites for not being IE7 friendly.
Still, Kogan is a twenty something who became a multi-millionaire in like under 5 years, and I am sure he could absorb the very miniscule cost [in comparison to his income/bank balance] to show customers good faith... that even multi-millionaires are human and have a heart. However, that was not the purpose of this exercise, regardless of how bad IE7 is. No, given the very small number of Aussies using IE7, and that many of those are likely to never visit his site, it was more about the free publicity garnered worldwide.... I mean the majority of WWW users [even here in Oz] have progressed to the safer IE10 or Firefox 11, so why is it even relevant, much less news?
he doesn't have to support ie7. leave it broken for those with dodgy browsers with a massive banner saying they won't work would do the trick.
heck.. he can even do a multiple choice screen of "pick your browser" with the answer going on the receipt.
You have never been to a store that charges extra if you pay via credit card to recover the extra money it costs them to offer that service?
Or used a vending machine with credit card (again, costs extra).
Or paid a utility, school, or doctor bill with debit/bank draft rather then credit card due to it being less money (to recover their extra cost from credit acceptance)?
I wouldn't charge people for using IE7. Don't they suffer enough with the constant "Internet Explorer has stopped working" messages?
I knew that, mate. I only answered to make you laugh.
It's not illegal at all. The customer can choose not to purchase from the website thus negating the surcharge.
No, he doesn't, but then he could always implement a code barring access to IE7, with a short, simple message to users to upgrade should they wish to use the site's services... it would be the simplest, most cost effective way... without this IE7 tax bullshit publicity stunt. Yes, publicity stunt!
Rusian Kogan frequently goes on Australian TV to justify his own business practices or condemn other traders for theirs. He regularly takes out full-page newspaper ads... not to advertise his wares, but to stick it to other traders [like JB Hi-Fi or Harvey Norman] And this latest stunt is more of the same.
The cost of supporting IE7 isn't even peanuts, compared to his multi-million dollar annual income, so he could easily absorb the small cost involved and hardly notice a difference. Like I said, it's free publicity. If the cost of supporting IE7 was effectively reducing his profit to any noticeable degree, and I say IF, which I very much doubt, he could simply add a half percent to his already heavily discounted prices and nobody would be the wiser... in other words, the mention of an IE7 tax IS totally unnecessary.
Yes, I've been to those stores, but I always pay cash for everything. I refuse to pay extra on my purchases to cover greedy bank charges, which is exactly what they are. However, your analogy is not appropriate. Those stores are recouping external charges levied upon them by banks, whereas Kogan isn't. It is still HIS storefront... and HIS to maintain. If he does not then customers may not access his wares and he goes broke... his choice.
In answer to the other questions... I do not have a credit card... despite my bank's repeated offers of one. The cost of operating a credit card would add hundreds [why the hell can't people see that] to my regular living expenses, and when it comes to money I'm as tight as a fish's arse... and that's watertight.
Kogan have said the surcharge is to recover cost of allowing ie7 users to buy goods. If a customer has to pay more for that access than another then it's price gouging. They have to give you a fair cost.
Not entirely. The 'levy' does NOT match. You are charged typically MORE by the store/service/co than the bank levies on that institution.
Any bank 'account' has charges/fees....a credit card need not be any more expensive to 'have' than any other account....particularly when it's 55 days Interest free and thus YOU can profit by NOT paying for 54 days....
Again, no. 'price gouging' is specifically what IKEA does. They charge the maximum the market can put up with without them sourcing an alternative.
Kogan's IE7 customers have an alternative option to purchase at the 'normal' price.
IKEA customers do not.
It is patently ABSURD that a desk made in Asia....just off our coast can be shipped from there to the US and then purchased FROM the US and shipped to Australia for considerably LESS than the AUS IKEA store 5 minutes down the road.
In a global market sense Australian IKEA customers are SUBSIDISING US IKEA customers.
I trust America is appreciative....
The thing is, IE7 users will be charge different amounts of surcharge for cost recovery. A IE7 customer can argue that their surcharge of buying a product from Kogan should be the same as another IE7 customer. Kogan will have to justify why that customer has to pay more ...
Ah, yes....within the er... subset of 'Kogan-IE7 customers there's an apparent inequity as it's not a flat fee but a percentage.
He probably "should" make it a flat rate - fixed fee.
On the other hand....were it TOO 'fair' it wouldn't attract all this free publicity.
Method in the madness....
From the OP.
Why should he charge a flat fee? Seems to me that would be objectionable for the buyer of a small ticket item. Not a "progressive" fee at all, doing it that way.
If he can soak someone who is too stubborn or (face it) stupid to upgrade a browser? Why is it even being discussed? If someone is too thick to upgrade a browser, and too thick to get to a mate whose computer has a more modern browser, let him pay the price.
As for IKEA? That really should be looked into. I bet IKEA is getting some sort of profit kickback from the shipper as well as from the Australian franchised operation.
My point was/is that there is an external cost with the credit card scenario... there isn't with Kogan's 'so-called' tax. Of course stores will seek to profit from the bank charges by passing more on to the consumers, but then that wasn't my point. Well not directly! My point is that Kogan made a mountain out of a pathetic little molehill and used it as free publicity to increase his profit base from it.... given more people now know about his operation. Saw him on 'Good Morning Australia' once, thought he was a slimy bastard, and this further enhances that opinion of him.
Quite right ... Perhaps I should not of said the ACCC will 'kick their arse', more likely to send a 'Who's a naughty boy' letter and a slap on the wrist.
Well....it's everyone ELSE making the mountain.
All Kogan did was impose a fee.....
Truth is, IKEA isn't the only company trying to extract the maximum it thinks the market can bear. All companies are guilty of this, even Kogan, who heavily discounts his wares. How can I say this about Kogan, a heavy discounter? Because he researched, identified who he could exploit, and caters to his intended market... poor buggers who have eff all to begin with He knows their purchasing options are very restricted [despite the we won't be beaten on price, Hardly Normal is still way out of their price range] so yes, he too has a captive market. He may have to share it with other discounters who have identified the and exploit same demographic, but he is still doing an IKEA.
Ah, but they do... they just have to think a little differently and they cease to be IKEA customers. My mother once bought some kitchen furniture from IKEA and thought she'd gotten a bargain... until I took her to a nearby store that sourced local products. Not only was the furniture cheaper, it also looked nicer... and there were no issues with compatibility or replacements, as there was with the IKEA kitchen setting. Hence she became a former IKEA customer. Me, I've never purchased from IKEA, never will. I have 2 large furniture outlets nearby, both very competitive on price, and one has free delivery within 5k, which I am.
It is only one of many absurdities I've seen in the business/purchasing world. For example, back when I was traveling between Queensland and Tassie, I could buy a Queensland brewed carton of 30 cans of Powers Bitter for $19.95 in Launceston, yet that same carton of Queensland brew would cost $29.95 here in Brisbane. And the same was true of Boags Bitter. I could get that up here for $24.95 for 24 stubbies, yet in Launceston it was usually around the $36.95 mark. How stupid, a carton of beer can travel across 3 states and still be cheaper than its place of origin. Well that was the case until Coles and Woolworths bought into the liquor trade... now its being sold at the maximum rate they think the various state beer drinkers will pay... no cheap interstate beer for anyone.
Another absurdity is Tasmanian grown potatoes going to a Victorian plant to be processed, shipped back again and being sold for half the price of the same producers potatoes that were processed locally. Same with my brother-in-law's sheep/lambs.... slaughtered in Tasmania, sent to Victoria for packaging, then sent back and sold by Woolies for cheaper prices than the local butcher could hope to match. But that's always the way with Woolies and Coles, killing off the small businesses and stifling competition.
Yes, I'm very cynical when it comes to big business[men], but then I've been around the traps enough to have heard enough businessman's thoughts and ideas on how they could screw customers and/or the competition to have an informed opinion. Like when a Woolworths store manager happily tried to send me around to a greengrocer's in the same shopping centre to compare prices to undercut him, and to a butcher's to do the same, I'm fully aware that the order actually came from above and it's a nationwide practice intended to wipe out nearby small businesses. I refused and was threatened with the sack, which didn't happen, but I quit anyway because working there no longer appealed.
That was only one of numerous things I despised about the various big businessmen I've known, and from what I've seen they're all pretty much tarred with the same brush, so yeah, businessmen in general deserve my distaste and cynicism, and I won't apologise for it, either.
Although Brad isn't as bad as most business people. As far as businessmen go, Brad is better than most.
Duly noted, but then I talking about an entirely different animal. While Stardock may have a majority share of the 'customising' market, it is still a small business in the greater scheme of things. True, it may be bigger than most ma and pa businesses, but it is still a sardine in a sea of sharks. The kind of animal I was referring to is more the corporate-type of mongrel who would steal his mother's purse and sell it back to her empty just to turn a profit, which funnily enough, is something I heard a former employer say... that he'd steal his mother's purse. After he said that I had no respect toward him whatsoever and was soon working elsewhere.
I've worked for small family-type businesses where the owners have been the most decent, fair and honest people one would ever wish to meet, so yeah, I should have clarified that in the above post.
People always have choices... they may not perceive them, or those people may be the products of privation... but it largely depends on the person going into the situation, I believe. If the person stops for a moment and perceives the situation and the choices, most elect to do the right thing, which isn't necessarily the profitable or exploitive one.
So much depends on what one knows is right and if one is strong enough to do what's right (or the greater right). It's easy for some (even many) to assume a synthetic identity to do something else and justify it with some situational system of norms. It's harder to remain true to what one knows deep inside is right and wrong (or a more fundamental right): The stuff one learned from parents and the stuff one learns in Kindergarten. In the end, so much depends on conscience.
Sadly, there are people, usually members of the corporate wheel, because it's driven into them at their induction to the firm, who see profit as their only reason to get up in the morning... and so you have all these corporate climbers ready to stab one another in the back [as well as anyone else who gets in the way] to get ahead. So no, we ordinary folk don't put profit before all else, but those who do were indoctrinated by the system they serve and love without question. Yes, like it or not, there are former human beings who think this way, and I know first-hand because I've met some... people whose own mothers don't even like them for their lifestyles and business choices.
Yes, I've been talking about them for yonks [ages], those corporate/business world climbers who once knew right from wrong, but grew another set of values and see no reason whatsoever to justify anything to anyone.... and that, I'm sorry to say, is the situational norm.
Exactly, which is why those induction courses to corporations are so successful in training new recruits/applicants, because they show them just how much easier it it to exist without a conscience. I know because I lasted just two days into one and realised that I would lose my very soul, the essence of who I really am if I continued.
Some of the stuff they said we'd be expected to do made me sick to my stomach, and when it was revealed that we would often be sent out to sign people up to agreements they could not afford, I walked out in disgust. When asked why I said it was because I could never work for a company that put profit before families being able to feed and clothe their children. The response to that was even more sickening, that "when you live in the lap of luxury with boats, cars and holiday homes, that simply isn't a consideration."
I'm not normally a violent man, but I so desperately wanted to punch that bastard in the mouth, if only to give him an inkling of what it's like to suffer. Fortunately for him, me as well because he would have called the cops, I stuck to my non-violent manner and walked away, much wiser for the experience. So yeah, it does depend on what your parents taught you, and for me it's about not compromising my values, those lessons my parents gave to me.
So strong are my beliefs, I once got out of a truck about 180 miles from Sydney in the middle of the night and commenced to walk the rest of the way. Why? Because my then boss told me that he was going to "root one of the secretaries at the depot" we were heading to, that he had had multiple affair and sired several children behind his wife's back, and he was so blase about it, too, so I made him stop the truck and I got out in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, another truck came along about 20 minutes later and dropped me off at the depot ahead of my boss.... and roughly 30 minutes after that I was hired by another contractor doing a similar Brisbane -Sydney run.
Yeah, I know, it was stupid to get out of a truck in the middle of nowhere in the pitch black of night, but at the time it was the better alternative. Back then I had a very nasty temper, and when lost my non-violent ways would go right out the window, which would have been catastrophic for him. Anyway, all's well that ends well, and I'm glad that age has mellowed me.

Massapequans took home awards at the recently held Long Island Blood Services Rob's Run Race, held at Stillwell Woods in Syosset. The race is conducted in honor of Rob Lauterborn, an outstanding runner and well-liked individual who passed away 21 years ago.
Local runners winning awards were led by Chris Mammone of Massapequa, who was the third finisher overall, with a time of 16:24. Other local award winners included Joanna Desousa of North Massapequa, who placed second in the women's 14 and younger age group. Joe Grieco of Massapequa, finished fourth overall, and first in the 20-24 age group. Joe's sister, Michele Grieco, also of Massapequa, was the first woman in the 20-24 age group to cross the finish line. Lorraine Huether of Massapequa, finished third among the women in the 55-59 age group, and Greg Karl of Massapequa Park, earned top honors in the 65-69 age group.

Ask anyone on Long Island where to go to get a quality cup of coffee, and you'll probably hear a variety of answers; however, ask the same question in the Massapequas, and one response you'll hear more often than not is "Massapequa Perk."
Located at 117 Front Street in Massapequa Park, across from the Long Island Rail Road station, Massapequa Perk first opened its doors five years ago in August of 2008. They deal with tea, smoothies, and various food and dessert items, but their bread and butter, so to speak, is coffee — selling it, roasting it and educating people about it, said co-owner Lisa DiBenedetto

A recent lawsuit against Northrop Grumman Corp. for groundwater contamination has the Massapequa Water District ensuring residents that its drinking water is safe for public consumption.
Bethpage Water District officials recently filed a federal lawsuit against Northrop Grumman Corp., claiming the company's facilities caused "irreparable harm" by creating a toxic plume that has contaminated the groundwater, costing the district millions of dollars and threatening more than 33,000 customers in Bethpage, Old Bethpage, Farmingdale, Levittown and Plainview — while coming close to Massapequa.

With the Nassau County title on the line, junior kicker Zach Kolodny was the most composed player on the field. With time expiring, he booted the game-winning kick to send the Farmingdale Dalers into the Long Island Championship with a 29-26 victory over the Massapequa Chiefs.
"It's a great feeling," said Kolodny. "I was confident from the beginning that I would make the kick," he added. "We practice this every day."
The game featured a bevy of twists and took on a completely different feel in the fourth quarter than it did for the first three quarters.
Thursday, 28 November 2013 00:00
It was a historic day for the Chiefs as both the boys and girls varsity soccer teams capped the season with state championship titles. The win was the first state championship for the boys, who defeated Fairport, 1-0 at SUNY Cortland and the fifth for the girls, who beat North Rockland, 2-1 in Middletown, New York.
The winning goal for the boys team was scored by sophomore Dylan Nealis, who just the day before scored the winning goal in the AA state semifinal.

--From 2001 to 2010, dogs killed more than 26 times the number of people (263) than did sharks (10) in the U.S.
--Between 1984 and 1987, New York City had almost 1,600 incidents annually of humans biting other humans. That's not really germane to this story so much as it is plain odd.
--Sand-hole collapses aren't generally considered among the greatest threats in the U.S., as they killed only 16 people between 1990 and 2006 -- but that's still five more people than sharks killed.
--In 1996, toilets injured 43,000 Americans, buckets and pails hurt almost 11,000 and room fresheners were responsible for 2,600 injuries in the nation. Sharks injured 13 people that same year. (There are a variety of toilet-related injuries: Seats can fall, smashing boys' genitalia mid-micturition; cracks in toilet seats can pinch a user's buttocks; and, as the ladies have explained time and time again, gentlemen, leaving the toilet seat up can cause folks to crash into the toilet bowl, damaging their buttocks and/or tailbones.)
While it can't always be said that you have a better chance of winning the lottery than being the victim of a shark attack -- it depends on which type of lottery and how many people are playing -- it seems certain you're better served watching out for that commode than for fins on the water.
Happy surfing.

History of 223 Remington Ammunition
The .223 Remington cartridge was introduced to the civilian market in January of 1964. In February of 1964, the United States Air Force adopted the cartridge as the 5.56x45mm for use in their new M-16 rifles. The .223 was the released to the civilian market as a rifle cartridge to be used as a varmint and predator hunting cartridge.
This mild recoiling cartridge would prove popular among several shooting disciplines and firearms applications. Varmint and predator hunters were the initial focus of the .223 Remington. The flat shooting and excellent accuracy of the cartridge were admired by the hunters who found it effective on small vermin up to medium size predators, such as coyote, out to 300 yards. Some hunters use it on game as large as deer, but several jurisdictions do not allow the .223 to be used for deer hunting noting the bullet diameter or muzzle energy are not sufficient for a humane harvest.
The .223 Remington is also popular among competitive shooters as it can be found at Service Rifle and F-Class matches. Here it is used for precision shooting at ranges up to 1000 yards. The .223 is also popular among 3-gun shooters where the mild recoil allows for light rifles with high magazine capacity to be used for fast and accurate shooting.
Law enforcement agencies have also found the .223 Remington to be a valuable addition to their firearms cache. It can be found in patrol cars and used in place of the 12 gauge shotgun when a longer or more precise shot is needed. In addition to patrol duties, some departments have also found it to be useful for urban sniping operations.
The .223 Remington is actually a .224 diameter bullet. Its bullet weights commonly range from 36-77 grains. The muzzle velocities from a rifle span 2700 to 3700 feet per second, with muzzle energies from 1100-1300 foot pounds of energy. Since the .223 Remington is one of the most popular cartridges in America, firearms manufacturers are regularly expanding and refining their products chambered for the .223.
No discussion of this caliber would be complete without a mention of the AR-15 type rifles that are wildly popular. Some of these rifles are chambered for the .223 Remington, while others are chambered for the 5.56x45mm. The two cartridges are not the same. Due to different case dimensions, the 5.56 throat and case are designed in a way that if they are fired in a rifle chambered for .223, it will result in potentially dangerously high pressures. These pressures could damage the firearm and or the shooter. With that being said, the .223 ammunition can be used in firearms chambered for the 5.56mm with no ill effects.

- Retired Sarge said: "My first time using the rifle I used this ammo. On a 10 inch dirty bird target I was able to land consistent groupings .I was able to land 59 out of 60 rounds in the 9 ring or better. The order was shipped and I received it on the third day. Service is excellent."
- stan said: "very happy ,with the ammo, no jam ups,carb build up is minor -compare to wolf. price is affordable for the weekend shooter. Quality of the ammo is very very good for the price. also very happy with .ammo.net- getting the order out to me so i can blow up the targets.. i don t like waiting for my ammo- the last place had to wait three weeks,was not happy"
- Sharpshooter said: "I would defiantly recommend this to any AR owner! Clean, Good accuracy , No Misfires, No Fail To Eject, No Fail To Load just keep on shootin worry free! Normally it's a lot cheaper hopefully soon this ammo hording will stop and we can all get the fair market price. "
- Tarpon said: "As expected"
- NuSparkey said: "Nothing like using good ammo to make you feel good about yourself. Pushed it out to 300 meters and anything off target was probably my jittery finger. Cycled well under rapid fire. I like it!"
- Rick said: "No FTF or FTE's in my Ruger Mini-14"
- Jack said: "Great ammo and a very reasonable price. Great service."
- skywarrior said: "Great fun ammo for steel targets."
- ammosmurff said: "I've shot PMC ammo for years on the range, for .223, .45acp & 9mm, never had a misfire or failure to feed on any of my guns. Korean ammo is the only foreign ammo I'll buy!"
- J A said: "I have not shot any of this ammo as of yet because it is down the line in my rotation. But I was comfortable purchasing PMC ammo as I've never had any bad ammo from the company. The price was right at the time so it was a good buy for me. I look forward to purchasing ammo from your site again, thank you..."
- Dave said: "Very good ammo for the money! Reliable and accurate. Can't ask for anything more than that. "
- dkmatthews said: "There's no doubting the quality of PMC Bronze. It's super reliable in every firearm. Thanks for a good deal on the case of ammo."
- chris said: "I have a remington Model 700sps varmint 223. with a bull barrel, n added a bipod, and a Barska 4-14 x 40 scope. i picked up a fiew boxes of the pmc bronze boat tail ammo in 55 grain simply because they wer only 7.25 for a box of 20. i was realy surprised on how consistant they wer. i placed 18 outa 20 rounds in a 3 inch circle at 150 yds. with a slight breeze. over all im realy pleased with this product, and will continue to use, an recommend this ammo."
- TedG said: "Fired about 100 rounds. No misfeeds, no duds, no significant accuracy loss over green-tips at 100yrds. I did notice that the spent casings actually eject a little differently (more to the rear and in a tighter grouping). This is actually nice for me because, when I fire federals, about 1/2 of the brass flies out the window of my shooting hut while the Wolf "brass" piles up in a neat little spot next to me on the inside of the hut. The price is right - highly recommended for plinking! "
- myob said: "good ammo"
- Rick said: "Price was right, delivery was quick, Fed and ejected with no problems."
- Jimbillyjoebob said: "You have to keep your AR clean no matter what ammo you feed it. I would not use this ammo for hunting if I had better available, but if you're going to be humming through 300+ rounds on an afternoon, it's hard to beat. Very rare misfeeds."
- Rodge said: "The service was excellent. The performance of the Aguila .223 Rem FMJ ammo is superior to ammo that cost more. It is excellent quality brass and I've not had a single failure to date in over 1250 rounds fired over a three month period."
- Zombiesrnuts said: "Ammo.net had the best price per round for the Aguila and also was pleasantly surprised on the ease and quickness of the order and delivery! I'll always shop here first!"

- Larry N. said: "First let me start by saying the service I have received from Ammo.net has been EXCELLENT!!! As far as the TulAmmo 223 rem. 55gr FMJ product goes it is very reasonably priced and shoots very good groups out to 200 yds. I will warn anyone using this ammo on a regular basis you will need to clean the chamber of your rifle every 2 to 3 hundred rounds with Acetone. This will breakdown any lacquer buildup and stop any FTE's from happening. I have never had a dud round of Tula (unlike Wolf or Brown Bear) and I shoot alot of this stuff. I read poor reviews on this ammo quite often and it's all due to not cleaning the weapon properly."
- JPM said: "Great ammo. Bought the 1000 round case, best price on the net. Fired about 200 with no problems, no jams or misfires. Fast shipping and good follow up. I would highly reccomend this ammo and this supplier."

- Pogo said: "Consistent sub MOA groups with a Fulton Armory AR-15 A2, SS match barrel 1:9 twist. Compared to similar match loads by Black Hills, Remington and Hornady; factor of 2 improvement on accuracy with this Federal ammo. Ammo.net get more of this into stock! "
- USMC1 said: "I have tried a number of rounds from flat base hollow point to ballistic tip's but I was not satisfied with the results. So, I tried the 69 grain BTHP match, I was very pleased with the results, much more consistent, however purchasing massed produced ammo for accuracy is not the way to go. If you shoot a lot, reloading your own ammo is the best way to ensure that every round is the same. I feel the value of the ammo is about average in cost. What I paid for the 40 rounds from ammo net including shipping I could buy the same at a local store, so not really a savings."
- Willie said: "Haven't fired any yet."
- Roadkingcsk said: "Tried shooting this in my Colt. Never had any problems with ammo before. Couldn't get the rounds to cycle. Put some cheap brass loads in and everything was fine. Plastic clips were annoying to get rounds free. Should not have bought as much of it as I did, not sure what the hell to do with it now. "
- KO said: "Glad to have found this website customer service has been great and product just as described. "
- Bob said: "Ammo fired without any jams, misfires or problems of any type. Ammo feed was smooth and no ejection problems. All spent casings cleared weapon cleanly. "
- Bobber1123 said: "Love the stripper clips. I think it took just 2 days to arrive. The price was excellent. "
- David said: "I ordered this ammo on a Monday and it was at my door on Friday! Considering that it had to be shipped four states away that is FAST shipping. I also like the fact that Ammo.net donates a portion of every sale to pro gun institutions. This is now my number one "go to" source for ammo."

- Freddy said: "Better then I excepted. Quick delivery, at a great price. Not one fault. Will be using again in the future. Keep up the good work guys. "
- Slap said: "Arrived in 3 days, shoots just fine, the CAR-15 never missed a beat! Given the current supply issues even the price was better than most I've seen. Great job! Thank you I will be a repeat customer."
