My current (slightly obsessive lol) cause is Marriage Equality. I'm passionately against the Marriage Act and feel government has no right to tell me or anyone else who to love & commit their life too. I'm part of a FB group that is actively campaigning, and I regularly post my comments and outrage at various things on the group and on my FB. If there's a march, I'll be going!

My cause is encouraging people to donate blood. Once a month my youngest has an infusion of immunoglobulins as she has an immune deficiency. It is a blood product and without people who donate blood we would have a very sick little girl. It's lifelong.
So my friends are probably sick of hearing about it and I also have been invited by the Red Cross to speak to people at a few different events about how it changes our life. It is my way of giving back to an organisation that changes our life every month. #3Posted 13 March 2012 - 09:36 PM
My current cause is the Leukaemia Foundation - I'm taking part in the World's Greatest Shave on the weekend, and yes, shaving my hair AAAArrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!! For those who like visuals, here's my link. I'll be adding the 'after' pics next week
An ongoing cause I volunteer my time for is supporting breastfeeding with the ABA. I used to be very vocal and involved with Human Milk Banking, but needed to take a step back as it was taking over and creating too much stress. Although I am not very vocal about it, I have always been a supporter of equal marriage rights and happily support friends' FB posts etc #4Posted 13 March 2012 - 09:54 PM
My cause that I have spent most time with is those who really need help because often simply their country doesn't have the resources - so most of my "cause" time has been spent with Oxfam. They also do a fair bit with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, so with people who often need it here in our own country.
I have been doing less with them lately, only a day every month to 6 weeks. It is in my normal professional work, so it is high value (I hope) work I give to them. Most of my "donation" time is currently on our local hockey club, so not a cause. Hopefully once the season starts I will have more time to spend on something worthy. #5Posted 13 March 2012 - 10:16 PM
I have several causes, but my main one at the moment is alerting people to animal testing. It isn't hard to choose not to purchase cosmetics, skin care,hair care and cleaning products that are not tested on animals. I make a choice to be choosy about what sort of cosmetics/products I use and I make sure that my choices do not inflict pain of defenceless animals.
I also am against cage eggs and battery farming I am also against purchasing real fur items, nor will I wear faux fur because I simply do not agree with wearing anything that is, or resembles a dead animal. Basically I am one big campaigner against animal cruelty. Edited by Indiana Bones, 13 March 2012 - 10:24 PM. #6Posted 14 March 2012 - 06:39 AM
Road safety - rather boring compared to other people's causes.
I live near schools that are on a major truck route and i want there to be better signage etc to give children a safer environment when they travel to and from school. I am also trying to change parent behaviour when it comes to driving around one particular school. #7Posted 14 March 2012 - 06:51 AM
Ive never been into causes but I do donate blood and am now very interested in Cystic Fibrosis due to personal resons
#8Posted 14 March 2012 - 10:20 AM QUOTE Road safety - rather boring compared to other people's causes No way! Community needs people with a passion across the board, don't devalue your contribution!
#9Posted 14 March 2012 - 10:30 AM
Breast milk banks and breast milk donation. There are a lot of women who want to feed their bubs (particularly premature babies) BM but can't for numerous reasons.
Donated BM is a valid option, but not one that has a high awareness. #10Posted 14 March 2012 - 10:36 AM
Marriage Equality
Animal Cruelty and Aboriginal Care #11Posted 14 March 2012 - 10:49 AM
I love the capital C
I don't have anything major ATM, I am a member of several marriage equality groups and share the links, I am a member of a BF group which I hope is raising awareness to normalize BF in public spaces and BF beyond 6 months. At work (when I go back) I do my research in cultural law so my passion tends to go there. We also donate regularly to a couple of charities which we will both rabbit on about at the slightest provocation There's so many good causes, although I do like ones like marriage equality which (IMO) have an end in sight, hopefully soon. #12Posted 14 March 2012 - 10:55 AM
My cause (no surprises here) is Autism Awareness - helping the general public learn more about ASD, helping fellow parents recognize the potential red flags of ASD, and advocating for greater services/support for ASD families.
I spend quite a bit of time raising awareness on EB and within mug large network of friends/family/colleagues. I also dedicate several hours per week serving as an informal mentor/support system to families who are grappling with a new or suspected diagnosis. I fundraise for Autism Awareness every year during the City2Surf. April is Autism Awareness month, so be prepared to see me on EB a lot! http://www.autismawareness.com.au/ Edited by baddmammajamma, 17 March 2012 - 04:52 PM. #13Posted 14 March 2012 - 07:02 PM
The one that is taking up a lot of my time at the moment is Veteran's issues.
Basically the way our Returned Servicemen and Women are treated by the government on return is devastating for them and their families. Previously I have been involved with ABA, and running our local toy library. I'm still new at getting involved with things #14Posted 14 March 2012 - 07:04 PM

Organ Donation would be the main current one - have been fundraising and trying to raise awareness in our local community for the past year in various ways.
Am also involved in Pelvic Instability, after suffering from it and finding little advice/information and finding that incredibly frustrating. #17Posted 15 March 2012 - 05:53 AM
Mine is NDIS and http://everyaustraliancounts.com.au/ and disability funding and support (or lack of), particularly in schools. I challenge everyone who comes out with incorrect information about disabilities and what people with disabilities can and can't do. I go through periods of bombarding everyone on my facebook with information about disability - but if it helps to educate one person on the facts then it's worth it.
#18Posted 15 March 2012 - 09:22 AM
Very inspiring ladies, thank you Go Girl Power
#19Posted 17 March 2012 - 06:43 AM
Lambchop: thanks for the thread - it even inspired an EBer to sponsor my 'Shave for a Cure' One more sleep until I get the clippers eeeekkkkk!
It is a shame that this died a fast death under the mountain of minutiae that is the general boards, rather than becoming one of those amazing threads that go for days and become EB legend. I'd love to have seen 20 pages of how others support their community or improve the lives of others... here's my EB version of rose coloured glasses LOL Congrats to everyone who cares enough to look beyond themselves and assist those around them, no matter how near or far. I've had a few people ask if I have a personal reason for supporting the Leukaemia Foundation atm, and my answer is no - I really feel it is important that I can do this to support families going through such a traumatic and difficult time while I am able to do it. Hopefully, if something ever happens to my loved ones, others will be doing the same so I can focus on that person's recovery, not fundraising IYKWIM? #20Posted 17 March 2012 - 06:47 AM
kidwrangler: I think you will find there are a huge number of people on EB who spend a lot of time doing work on a cause or for charity.
I would not take the number of responses in this thread as the number of people who help. That said, the number of responses isn't going to inspire others. #21Posted 17 March 2012 - 01:45 PM
Anti coal seam gas, but all I do is have a bumper sticker
#22Posted 17 March 2012 - 03:36 PM
My main causes at the moment are : Cancer research through doing the Ride to Conqeur Cancer in August and raising awareness of Icythyosis - a family of genetic skin conditions that 2 of my brothers have. I do most of my awareness through my eldest brother who is heavily involved with raising money for research through grants and funding some himself. Links on FB, telling people about it and supporting him to do the incredible work he does which includes mentoring other families that have children with this condition and also working with foundations around the world that help support people with Icythyosis and related conditions.
I am also heavily involved in scouting in my local area which I believe is a great way for children and adults to get involved in their community, learn life skills and make friends while having fun. I also help the local Lions as my dad is the current president so get roped into different events #23Posted 17 March 2012 - 04:32 PM QUOTE (LambChop @ 13/03/2012, 07:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My current (slightly obsessive lol) cause is Marriage Equality.

What's your Cause and what do you do with it ? I think that's great! Hopefully because of people like you my brother will be able to get married one day. I guess my cause is nutrition. I often give nutrition advice to people who request it, and I love it. My main passion is food allergies and intolerance, probably because I suffer from 3 and DD has 2. What I want to do with it is after my degree I would like to do a PhD and study the genetics and causes behind food allergies and intolerances. I believe there must be a reason why they are becoming so common. I would like to look at the high amount of chemicals that we consume now (pesticides, fertilisers, food additives ect.) and see if there is a connection. I think it's possible that these chemicals are causing gene mutations or switching certain genes on and causing food allergies/intolerances. Then we are passing these mutations on to our kids. #24Posted 17 March 2012 - 04:39 PM
Mine is the pituitary Foundation.

Beginning this October all new bottles of Extra Strength Tylenol will state (in red) that the over-the counter medicine contains acetaminophen, alerting consumers to the fact that taking too much could lead to potentially dangerous complications including liver failure.
In fact the CDC reports that overdoses from acetaminophen, which is included in more than 600 commonly sold OTC and prescription products, including Sudafed sinus tablets, Excedrin and Nyquil, etc., is responsible for as many as-80,000 emergency room visits and at least 500 fatalities each year.
"We're always looking for ways to better communicate information to patients and consumers," says Dr. Edwin Kuffner, vice president of McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the Johnson & Johnson unit that manufacturers Tylenol.
Extra strength Tylenol is the first product to issue the warning labels, a critical move in light of the fact that Johnson & Johnson is currently battling more than 85 personal injury lawsuits filed in federal court claiming that Tylenol was responsible for damaging plaintiffs' livers injuries and resulting deaths in some cases.
It should also be noted that the FDA is currently developing proposals that could limit the use of acetaminophen products including Tylenol.

…ish. Things have been crazy. Work has been non-stop, and every time I sit down to write, something comes up. Reporting has been nearly out of the question. Bad, bad blogger.
I realized at some point when the password to this site became fuzzy that I had to make a choice: keep going, or bid adieu. Instead, I'm compromising.
For the next several months, the site will have weekly news updates. I'm also working on recruiting a few others to provide the occasional original story. Many, many apologies for email that went unanswered. I really appreciated the notes from people asking where I disappeared to (The answer? Grad school, mostly. Sad tale.). Keep an eye out this week for links, but here is a teaser: the NY Post reports on a recent settlement with the NYPD, City Limits looks at the state of Sunset Park as a Promise Neighborhood and Inhabitat offered a sunny take (along with renderings) of the Sims recycling plant that broke ground on the waterfront.

@RonMwangaguhung The scariest part about Charlotte's Web was when Fern goes boy-crazy over dumb old Henry Fussy and forgets all her animal friends at the end. I re-read the book a few years ago and was kind of shocked at the ending.

The government has promised £120m to help supply superfast broadband to the Highlands and Islands.
Around 99% of the population in rural areas already have basic broadband but the funding will allow a faster connection to be supplied.
In order for this to happen, underground cables will have to be installed, with some going under the sea to connect to the islands.
Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) are already in talks with BT about delivering the service to communities and the funding will allow them to carry out the plans.
The funding, announced on Monday, was welcomed by rural communities.
Alex Paterson, chief executive of HIE, said: "This funding puts the Highlands and Islands on track to deliver the largest and most challenging rural broadband project in the UK.
"By bringing together the expertise and investment of both the private and public sector we want to roll out a service which will change the face of the region.
"Businesses and communities will see benefits where they matter most including in education, in supporting healthcare services and by opening up new markets. Our ultimate aim is for all parts of the Highlands and Islands to benefit and this news brings us a step closer to our goal."
Alex Neil, Infrastructure Secretary, said: "Everybody in the Highlands and Islands recognises the importance of access to superfast broadband, not just for the future of our local economies but indeed for the future of our children, for our education, our health and every aspect of life in the modern world.
"Highlands and Islands Enterprise, which is currently in discussion with BT, has been a driving force in developing a project to find solutions to the challenges of bringing next generation access to businesses and communities in the region. I am pleased to see a continuing commitment to work with local authorities across the region to make sure that by working in partnership, we are truly able to meet the ambitions of local people and businesses.
"Whether it's a small business competing in the global market through the use of superfast broadband, or whether it's the granny and grandpa talking to their grandchildren in New Zealand, superfast broadband can change the lives of people for the better in these rural communities."

The Ohio bankruptcy court has finally agreed with courts in California, Michigan, and others that Novelli is abusing the bankruptcy system. The Ohio bankruptcy, filed more than 2 years ago has finally been converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation. The court found that:
Subject: Bankruptcy of:
November 28, 2004 The subject companies have abused many of their members and played the bankruptcy courts like a fiddle for many years. That chapter of their activities may be coming to an end. Several events appear to be combining to end their abuses:
This time — they are not marching their bevy of heavy-handed, in-house attorneys into war with some poor little old lady who cannot afford to fight back or small town attorney who does note know how or cannot afford to go after the assets of this abusive organization. This time they seem to have picked a fight with someone who is known for tenacity and thorough prosecution of their cause: the US Government. There has never been any question that the Novelli companies routinely move equipment, people and money from company to company in the course of everyday business. This includes their most lucrative asset, the campground memberships and the millions of dollars they produce annually. So what does that mean to us? It may mean the end of the extortionist practice of demanding money from people for the rest of their lives, people who want nothing to do with them. It may mean the eventual end of deceiving and downright fraudulent sales and collection practices by some of the companies. It may also mean the campgrounds that survive might eventually be run by a more reputable organization.
Sincerely, Dan Hopper, NAM |

Jam a short (15') finger crack to the right of Cooler Sacrifice. Mantle into the Cooler Sacrifice alcove, but continue climbing up the right side onto a featured face past some horizontals and a pin.
To the right of Cooler Sacrifice, this is the last route on the right end of the Square Inch wall. Rap off the Cooler Sacrifice anchors. Also, if you're going to toprope this, I'd suggest placing a piece to back up the pin...I didn't like it.
.5-2 Camalots, and nuts. One pin near the top.
No need to use Cooler Sacrifice anchors. This climb has its own at the finish.
No more pin at the top, at least not that I could see.
Pin is still there, but not really necessary as the horizontal cracks up there take small cams.

D.C. Victory campaign LIVE on GOD TV
Media Release: NOVEMBER 11, 2009
Kenneth & Gloria Copeland share direct from the US capital to over 200 nations.
Long-serving Bible teachers Kenneth & Gloria Copeland have a timely message of hope for this season of continued economic uncertainty. They believe that as God's people learn to live in the blessing He intended for them since the Garden of Eden, so they will be empowered to live prosperous, healthy lives.
GOD TV viewers can discover 'How to walk in the Eden Blessing' by tuning in LIVE this weekend as Kenneth and Gloria teach on exchanging this world's economic system for all that God has for them. The three-part broadcast will be aired on Friday November 13 at 9pm (EST) and Saturday November 14 at 10am and 7.30pm, with replays on Sunday November 15 at 1pm and 9pm.
The Saturday morning broadcast will focus on Gloria Copeland's Healing School providing an opportunity for those who need God to touch their bodies to tune in for a powerful time of teaching, impartation and miracles.
The Copelands have been teaching God's Word for more than 40 years and have aired weekdays on GOD TV since the network started in 1995. They are well known for their Holy Spirit-charged meetings, powerful corporate worship and faith-filled teachings.
"If you have received Jesus as Lord, God has set you up to succeed," said Kenneth Copeland. "You aren't held captive by Babylonian economics because you've been delivered out of that ungodly system into the Eden system of prosperity that God created in the beginning. You've been restored to the place of blessing. All you have to do is stick with the Eden System of God's Word and you'll not only be blessed, but you will also become an avenue of blessing to others."
'The Believer's Voice of Victory' with Kenneth & Gloria can be seen Monday through Friday on GOD TV in the USA at 7.30am (EST) and internationally across six other GOD TV regional channels. The Washington, D.C. Victory campaign will be aired to GOD TV's nearly half a billion viewers worldwide.
"GOD TV has a close connection with the US capital, with studios near the White House and we believe it is significant that we are broadcasting this important event from Washington, D.C. to the nations of the world at this time," said GOD TV co-founder and director of Television, Wendy Alec
"Our viewers so appreciate the wealth of Bible teaching Kenneth & Gloria Copeland offer the Body of Christ. We also support their exhortation for believers to walk above the present economic crisis as it is so important for us to be empowered to accomplish all God has called us to do in this End-Time hour."
GOD TV can be seen from coast to coast across the USA on channel 365 of DIRECTV as well as on select local cable stations in cities such as San Francisco. Online viewers can watch LIVE at www.god.tv/live or on demand at www.god.tv/video.

Spey - 9yo Millenium Edition - The most expensive whisky in the world
3 Attachment(s)
Hello Everyone!
I'm got a bottle of Spey Highland Malt. It is 9yo Millenium Edition whisky. I'm based in UK. Trying to sell. It's very rare and hardly anyone ever heard about it. I'm a private whisky collector and valuation from UK gone upto about £250.00. It also has a certificate. Just wondering could anyone correct me or advice where to sell it for the best price. Please find the pictures attached. Cheers |
Reading the certificate, the only one I could read, this does not appear to be a Millenium bottling as it was bottled in 2002. It would be a help if you could you post clearer photos of the labels.

I hope that helps a little bit more.
Cheers |
Thanks, this was bottled by Berry Brothers and Rudd and is from the Spey Valley rather than a specific distillery.

The film concentrates on the backroom effort, with less attention paid to the on-field rugby. The film balances pain of various injuries to Rob Howley, Will Greenwood and Doddie Weir, the tensions within the camp (Barry Williams fighting with Mark Regan), the humour of John Bentley's visit to the gym, and finally jubilation after victory in the second test.
The documentary only goes to the end of the second test. Due to its success, a follow-up documentary Living With The Lions 2 - The Final Week was produced. Both films are included in the DVD.
For the 2001 tour to Australia, another documentary was produced. However, the Lions lost that tour, and there were suggestions that it had been censored to edit out the fact that the players (especially Austin Healey) were displeased with the coach, Graham Henry.

Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel, currently campaigning for the U.S. Senate, making a stop in Avon Lake Sept. 8, said if elected to the Senate, he would fight the regulation that is deemed one of the reasons .
Mandel made the stop as part of the Republican "Buckeye Blitz" that will see Republican volunteers go door-to-door across Ohio urging support for Republican candidates. He spoke to a group of volunteers at the Republican Victory Center in Learwood Plaza after being introduced by Avon Lake Councilman Dan Bucci.
In a one-on-one interview with Avon-Avon Lake Patch, Mandel took a shot at Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown and the EPA MACT (Maximum Achievable Control Technology) rule, a new policy to regulate mercury and air toxins from power plants.
This year, Brown voted to uphold the MACT rule.
"The utility MACT which is one of the regulations at fault for why this plant is on the chopping block, is one of the main areas where Sherrod Brown and I disagree," Mandel said. "Sherrod Brown voted to support the federal regulation that may very well put those middle class families out of work at the plant. I strongly opposed those regulations."
Mandel said he would support eliminating the regulation that is partially to blame for the expected closing of the Avon Lake power plant in 2015.
Earlier this year, a spokesperson for the plant said the closing was pending "because of forecasted returns on investments necessary to comply with environmental regulations are insufficient."
"A priority of mine would be to eliminate the regulations so we could save the jobs here in Lorain County," Mandel said. "With Sherrod Brown being a resident of Lorain County, he should be ashamed of himself for siding with the Washington bureaucrats over jobs in this part of the state."
Patch readers which could cost the city and school district more than $200,000 in lost tax revenue per year.

One class is keeping there eye on Obama
RAPID RIVER -- Although the Presidential Inauguration has come and gone, it remained a hot topic in high school classes across the nation Wednesday morning. Mr. Rubick's Senior Government class at Rapid River High School discussed both yesterday's inauguration and what's to come in President Obama's administration. Students said his personable demeanor will help him but they believe he's got a tough road ahead, to bring the country back on its feet.
"I'm hoping he can do most of what he promised, but I don't know, I've always been kind of a pessimist when it comes to that sort of thing. I don't think everything can be accomplished in 8 years, but I'm hoping for it," said Senior, Joshua Person.
"Some of his policies I've listened to, I haven't got a chance to listen to them all, but we're about as low as you can get, so from here, it can just hopefully get better, added fellow Senior Jake Stenlund.
The class plans to closely keep tabs on President Obama throughout the first 100 days of his presidency.

The job market is cutthroat, and the prices of most goods seem to be rising, but that doesn't mean you can't keep some money in your pocket. There are plenty of ways to save money, but the problem with most frugal living tips is that they ask you to make impossible changes to your lifestyle. Sure, it's one thing to cut out a coffee at Starbucks, but most people can't afford to sell their vehicles and start taking taxis to work, and they're likely stuck in a house payment that won't change, no matter how much they wish it to be so.
Instead of trying to do the impossible, why not make practical changes that can help you nickel and dime your way into a comfortable budget? Here are a few ways to do just that.
Coupon Clipping
Many people seem to believe that coupons clipping is old and outdated, but the truth is that coupons have never been as profitable as they are now. With websites selling coupons for pennies, and online retailers sending emails with killer discounts, it's impossible not to find a way to save money at the store, whether shopping for groceries, or clothes.
Pay Cash for Gas
As gas prices rise, many gas stations have invoked cash only pricing, which means you can save 3-5 cents per gallon when paying with cash. This might not sound like a lot, but when you add it up over a year, it makes a huge difference. If cash isn't your thing, an alternative is to use a gas credit card, which will likely earn you the same discount. Just make sure to pay it off every month.
Use Credit Cards
Using credit cards with points and cash back bonuses is a great way to get a little bit of a return on every day purchases. It might only be 2-3% per month, but if you spend two grand, that's $40 per month. You can use that to pay your phone bill.
Walk & Ride
Since gas prices are so high, why not take a break to get in shape by walking or riding your bike to nearby events. It's not glamorous, but it will save money while helping you get some much needed exercise.
Frugal living isn't just about cutting out the beer and coffee, but about making changes you can live with. Try these on for size and see how much money you'll save. Every little bit helps.

Sherman Learns to Swim (Sort Of)
Sherman has been apprehensive about entering the pool at the dog park. On July 31, 2009, he overcame his anxiety and spent time examining this whole recreational standing water phenomenon.
(We're still not sure whether his paw movements were an instinctive swimming gesture or the inspection of a floating leaf).

Fun and Fit interview DVD Workout Expert, Angie Miller: Get a Bedroom Body
A fitness professional and trained counselor, Angie Miller has created a series of successful, bestselling DVDs geared toward women of varying ages. Her latest DVD, the Bedroom Body, has stirred up some negative comments. So we jumped into the room with her to stir up some answers on this controversy.
- The title Bedroom Body, has gotten some rare negative feedback despite great reviews of the content you offer exercisers. What made you choose that name? (Hint: think private sanctuary or inner sanctum though you will achieve your bedroom body better once you listen in).
- Given the association that "Bedroom" and "Body" have with sex, how do you define sexy? More importantly, how does your workout help women–especially those over 40–feel sexier? Or is that missing the point? (Listen to hear Angie's unique view of "sexy" and how you can achieve it).
- If you had a slogan to help women develop their "sexy," what would it be? (Angie shares two helpful slogans: Personal Acceptance and … guess you'll have to listen in to get the second, which is worth hearing and using as your slogan!)
In addition to holding a Master's Degree in Counseling, offering a series of exercise DVDs, and being a respected industry pro, Angie Miller is an instructor at Northern Illinois University. You can find her at angiemillerfitness.com; at her Facebook page; on twitter at @angiemillerfit; and on her YouTube channel.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and GILBERT, Ariz. – January 13, 2009 – One Hour Air Conditioning & Heating, a residential and commercial cooling and heating service provider, has improved dispatching efficiencies and employee accountability through TeleNav Track™, a cell phone-based GPS navigation and tracking service. With its strong commitment to customer service, One Hour has quickly grown in the past five years. With the slogan, 'always on time or you don't pay a dime,' One Hour makes the satisfaction of its over 40,000 Maricopa County customers a priority. After experiencing an increase in customer demand for improved air systems, One Hour saw the potential to expand its business by optimizing its technicians' routes. Prior to deploying TeleNav Track, One Hour's technicians turned in weekly paper timesheets, offering little accuracy assurance. With TeleNav's service on GPS-enabled Nextel Direct Connect capable Sprint phones, all mobile employees can now log in and out of jobs directly from their phones upon arriving and departing each job location. Because of this, One Hour estimates it saves approximately 40 hours a week, as employees no longer have to take time to fill out manual timecards. "As our service commitment says, if we are not on time to an appointment, the customer does not pay for the visit," said Jessica Kelly, office manager of One Hour. "Before having an effective call routing system in place, we were absorbing up to 15-20 percent of servicing costs. After implementing TeleNav Track, we saw an immediate improvement in meeting our customer timeframes. Today, our technicians are on time to more than 99.9 percent of appointments, making for happy customers and substantial savings." Not only is One Hour saving costs by meeting appointment times, the company has also eliminated the need to walk technicians through job details over the phone. With TeleNav Track, dispatchers send weekly job details to technicians directly from the Web site to the technicians' phones. This results in an average time reduction of more than 500 hours annually. Technicians also use GPS navigation on their phones to get to each job location quickly and if a technician is running behind, dispatchers are alerted through TeleNav Track. "One Hour gives its customers an 'always on time' guarantee so it needs to have the technology in place to ensure it can deliver on that promise," said Sal Dhanani, co-founder and senior director of marketing of TeleNav. "TeleNav Track helps businesses get where they need to be, on time and efficiently. This helps to build stronger customer relationships, as well as increased revenues from repeat business." Currently, more than 9,000 organizations rely on TeleNav Track to help manage their mobile resources. In addition, industry analyst firm, Frost & Sullivan, recently recognized TeleNav Track with its 2008 North American Mobility Award for Best MRM Solution on a Handheld Device.

AMD Radeon HD 6970 Review
Published December 15, 2010
Find graphics card prices |
Benchmarks: Just Cause 2, Mass Effect 2
The Radeon HD 6970 bombed out when testing with Just Cause 2 as we saw an average of just 37fps at 1920x1200. This low frame rate was still a notch above what the HD 5870 could achieve, while it was 18% slower than the GeForce GTX 570, a disappointing result indeed.
Mass Effect 2
We relied on Fraps to measure performanced on Mass Effect 2. We recorded 60 seconds of gameplay from the level "Lazarus Research Station". Maximum visual quality settings with 4xAA/16xAF were used.
The Radeon HD 6970 makes a quick comeback when testing with Mass Effect 2 at 1920x1200 with an average frame rate of 86fps. This made it just 11% slower than the GeForce GTX 580 and 6% faster than the GTX 570, while it was 10% faster than the Radeon HD 5870.

Sapa-AP |
Indian authorities investigating a rape case say a sprinter who won a women's relay gold medal at the 2006 Asian Games is actually a man.
Police charged Pinki Pramanik on Monday with raping and assaulting a woman she was living with in the eastern state of West Bengal. The woman alleged Pramanik was a man who had reneged on a promise to marry her.
Indian authorities say an eight-member medical board submitted a gender test along with the charge sheet that concluded Pramanik was genetically male.
Another Indian medalist at the 2006 Asian Games, Santhi Soundarajan, was stripped of the women's 800 meters silver medal after failing a gender test shortly after the games.

I've used the reds from feria. The red colour was gorgeous (I used Pure scarlett) But other than that i'm not entirely impressed to be honest. I mean all these brands talk about how they DON'T fade and how it stays the same for weeks on end. It's a load of rubbish. I limited to washing my hair once a week (disgusting i know) just so i could keep the colour longer. turns out it faded to a dingy coppery brown after just 3 washes! my roots stayed nice and red but as for the rest of my hair it was just a horrible copper colour with no red at all. I wouldn't recommend or use this product again, I'm just thinking of giving up with bright colours and going back to my natural colour! all hair dyes are the same in the end.
and as for the "pure scarlet" shade it turned out very dark and only looked red under light.
More reviews by slippingbeauty
Feria is my favorite boxed hair dye, though their shades aren't as edgy as they were a few years ago. I like the creamy consistency of the solution itself as well as the essential oil packet. The conditioner that comes with Feria is AMAZING. I use professional dye now that I purchase at Sally's, but if I need something quick I'll use Feria.
Feria uses metallic deposit color in their reds which PERMANENTLY bond to your hair. I've been using a feria red for a year now and the color always looks great for a couple weeks, but after that not so much. Anyway, I wanted to go blonde this summer so I did a little research.
Apparently, these metallic dyes that feria uses are the spawn of Satan in the haircare world. Going lighter is impossible after you use such dye. Any sort of lightener or bleach you put over a metallic dye will cause a chemical reaction, causing your hair to MELT OFF. No joke ladies the only way to get this shit off is to cut it off. DO NOT USE. Professionals will all laugh you out the door when you come around saying you want it out.
I used Feria in a myriad of shades. Copper Shimmer 74 used to be my favorite, but since I went back to my natural color I realize they have expensive product for little payoff... I used T53 twice in a row (medium ash brown) and the color faded in less than 2 weeks between my use of clarifying shampoo and regular shampoo (no more than twice a week overall). I switched to Garnier Nutrisse #51 (Medium Ash brown) and the color has held much longer so far.
Used Feria's Havana Brown (medium natural brown) on my light brown hair, hoping to darken it a bit and cover up some brassiness. The color came out much darker than the results on the box, which my hair always, always seems to do - one of these days I'll learn to choose a shade lighter than what I want. I'll never buy Feria again, though. My hair feels extremely dry and damaged, and has none of the "shimmering" effect they promise - it actually looks really flat ad dull.
I got the midnight ruby color. Application was easy, but yes it smells just like any other hair dye. The color is fantastic, it came out just like the box. It is a little drying but the way to fix this is to use the conditioner that comes with the color. What I did was wash my hair 3 days after color, used a generous amount of the conditioner, and then wrapped my hair up and left it for 3-4 hours. My hair was back to its beautiful, silky smoothness after this. I will buy this color again and will just baby my hair. The little bit of dryness was worth it for the perfect color. It would get a 5 if they could fix the drying part.
UPDATE: Well, it's been four weeks and my roots have lightened a bit so it's time for more color. My hair isn't as ravaged as I initially thought, so I bumpbed this up from 2 - 3 lippies. It's on sale at CVS this week, so I might just repurchase a color in the Black family...
ORIGINAL REVIEW: Purchased Midnight Collection - Violet Soft Black (M32) which claims to be warmer. I fail to see how a Violet color can be warm and wanted to see how the purple tones would go with my cool complexion. My starting color was very dark brown with some lighter spots here and there due to incomplete coverage from my last dye job. Got two boxes (BOGO 50% off) to get full coverage for my just-below-shoulders length hair.
Application was easy. The gloves were better than those cut-out plastic ones some cheaper kits have, but they were all stretched out around the wrists. Kit comes with a little "Shimmer serum" packet to be added to the developer/color mix before applying. Gimmicky.
I could tell this was wrecking my hair as I applied it, it started to get tangly and mushy kind of. I used about half of the second box to get complete squish coverage (the first box did all my roots and about a quarter of my length, the second box was def necessary)
I set my timer for 30 mins and the color that was around my hairline/part was bright, bright red. I was nervous the color WOULD be super warm and look odd on me (like wanting Violet hair was ever gonna be natural anyways)
Rinsed for a good long time in the tub and still the water never ran clear (was pinkish). My hair felt like straw and was quite tangled. The conditioner was pasty and did not absorb well, I used almost all of the long tube to get coverage, and ended up slathering Dove on anyways, because it was doing NOTHING to detangle.
I was really concerned I'd fried my hair, so as soon as I got out of the tub, I put a a ton of Wen Deep Conditioning treatment all over my head, put it in a loose braid, wrapped it in plastic wrap and a towel and went to sleep with my fingers crossed.
Rinsed the conditioner this morning, my hair felt *better* but not good... i followed with Suave conditioner and then hopped out... water never ran clean - still pink. My hair stained my towel pink, too. So much pink! No stains on my skin, thank goodness.
My hair feels rough, and I can't run my fingers through it, like I habitually do. As it has air dryed, I see that the color result is very close to what the box depicted. However, it's my guess that, just given the fact that pink sontinued to run from my hair after shower #2, this color is going to fade quickly. I like my result, colorwise, but it was not worth the ravaging this dye gave my hair.
The box promises Shimmering Colour with 3X the Highlights. My hair is not shiny, its frizzy (as a result, not a normal state for my hair), so I can't tell if it's multi-tonal or not...I'm scared to try and straighten it, lest I fry it into mush... so I'll just continue babying it/giving conditioning treatments for the time being...
The poor quality conditioner in this kit is reason enough for me not to repurchase - the conditioner in at home hair color kits is usually the icing on the cake, making hair silky and smooth and oh so manageable. I found this one to be completely worthless. Adding in that the color seemed to dry out/straw spin my hair more than others usually do and this is a dud. Which is a shame because I have not seen another "Violet Black" out there... maybe it's time to try henna....
I've tried all L'Oreal hair color products now; Excellence, Preference, and Feria. I'm so disappointed in Feria. It's the most expensive of the three, and has a great variety of color selections. You would think with this type of investment, the company would make this their gold standard product. Not for my hair. My hair is fine and oily, and it takes a LOT to make it dry and dull. Feria did a great job of that. Even with the deep conditioner that comes with it, my hair was like straw after coloring. The color was so flat and dull (I tried two colors at different times, three months apart--first, Bronze Shimmer and Tortoiseshell Brown). The applicator was good. It had an extra-long tip which helped to part my long hair well. But other than that, nothing good about this product for me. I'm very disappointed and will go back to Preference. The only reason I strayed in the first place was the wide variety of color selections Feria offered and curiousity. Lesson learned.

This is my "old faithful". My hair is naturally a medium blonde with red tones and I lighten it with Feria's 110 Starlet. This is the only brand that I've found that doesn't yellow my hair. It's not harsh on my fine hair either, although bc my hair is so fine, my first choice is to go to the salon.. but when we're tight for cash I ALWAYS come back to this.
I did give this a 3 out of 5, because I have tried to go darker with this brand as well. I used the 63 Sparkling Amber, and I've also tried the 62 Iced Mocha. With both of these, the color was super pretty for the first couple days and after the first and second washes, the color dramatically faded... both times I was left with an awful coppery, brassy tone.
Overall... I will purchase the Starlet blonde again and again. Typically, I've always lightened my hair.. but if I want to ever try going darker again.. Without question, I would go with Garnier Nutrisse.

I am a virgin at home hair colourer but as I am feeling the penny pinch with 2 kids, thought I would try it out, especially since I needed to cover the greys. A friend of mine has been colouring her own hair for 20 years so how bad could it be? I tried this product - no particular reason why since it is my first go at it. I chose a colour close to my natural hair color - #45 French Roast. When it was all said and done, my hair didn't look like it had changed much except for my greys were covered - which is a good thing as I wanted to keep my hair colour the same as it was. HOWEVER....... it was NOT shiny, it was NOT shimmery, it was NOT multi tonal. In fact it WAS boring, it WAS dry, it WAS extremely staticy which is driving me crazy! My hair before was always in immaculate condition - soft, silky and manageable with greys and I was always getting colour at the salon. Does at home hair colour always make hair like this or is it just me being inexperienced with this? Would love any advice.

Results and Reports from AustraliaPromoters wishing to submit results should send them to Cyclingnews Norwood CC Weekend Series #17Gumeracha, South Australia, March 7, 2004The point series is really hotting up as we come down to the last three weekend races culminating in the very rich Whitmore Square Criteriums on the 28th March 04 in Adelaide. Any rider from the top 20 can still take out the season series, so expect to see some competitive racing in the coming weeks. Once again a road race was scheduled for a weekend in the summer month of March and the riders responded well to the change with almost 100 riders fronting on the day. In E grade Gino Delfino wanted to take advantage of the hills and the riders that had sat on him in the sprints for the criteriums by attacking hard after the first lap on the hills. With a big smile on his face he rode past the finish to get one lap to go and was away. Chasing hard was new rider Andrew Roe and Michael Davis who combined to chase but could not catch Delfino. Delfino easily took the win with Davis sprinting hard for second in front of Roe. A few new dark horses had their first races in D grade today after wanting to start lower and ended up taking the win and third place. Simon Pearson and Beattie Dickson rode well to outwit their more experienced opponents and showed they had strength in the dash to the line. Splitting the two was Giac Cirillo who is also showing his ability at the end of the bike race. Scott Maney took the win in C grade by attacking over the last hill to hold the bunch of fast finishing riders off by just one bike length. Riverland rider Casey Danvers won the group sprint in front of ex New Zealand A grader Michael Lampp. The large group of B grade riders rode a very controlled race with Brad Simpson doing a lot of work on and off the front. Heading into the finishing straight it was all Steve Sabines race until Daryl Margate thought otherwise and started to sprint. Margate came up alongside Sabine and Sabine looked in shock to see his younger opponent by his side and tried to kick again but his legs would not respond. There was nothing he could do as Margate cruised pass to take him a metre before the line. New sensation Damon Stefani from the Coomealla Club in Mildura took third place and has booked himself a ride in A grade. The Rio Coffee/ Main North Nissan team of riders today proved just how strong and dominant they are is South Australian cycling. After two laps of their 75km race Kristen Lewis and Adrian Laidler went on the attack with Alan Gill. Peter Mueller was between them and the main bunch which now blew to pieces over the climbs. Now seven riders still tried to chase for the rest of the race but Laidler, Lewis and Gill rode away. Lewis and Laidler tried the old one two on Gill and certainly wore him down for the finish as he was not able to respond to Lewis who launched to the line followed by Laidler and Gill. Mueller led the rest of the riders over the line followed by James Russell and another Rio rider in Luke Bettany. ResultsA Grade, 75 km 1 Kristen Lewis (Rio Coffee/Main North Nissan) 2 Adrian Laidler (Rio Coffee/Main North Nissan) 3 Alan Gill (Polar Heart Rate Monitors) 4 Peter Mueller (Rio Coffee/Main North Nissan) 5 James Russell (Herb Valley/Art Ceramics) B Grade, 75 km 1 Daryl Margate (Bianco Cycling Team) 2 Stephen Sabine (JT Cycles Salisbury) 3 Damon Stefani 4 Brad Simpson (Bicycle Express) 5 Damien Hall (Bicycle Express) C Grade, 57 km 1 Scott Maney 2 Casey Danvers (Bianco Cycling Team) 3 Michael Lampp 4 Daniel Smith (Bicycle Express) 5 Bryce Alexander D Grade, 57 km 1 Simon Pearson 2 Giac Cirillo 3 Beattie Dickson 4 Greg Stanyer 5 Matt Sanders E Grade, 40 km 1 Gino Delfino 2 Michael Davis 3 Andrew Roe 4 Bradley Crawford 5 Rebecca Ormsby Local results 2004 |

Congressman talks about security in wake of Giffords tragedy
Michigan Radio's Steve Carmody caught up with Michigan Congressman Hansen Clarke. Carmody asked Clarke about his reaction to the Giffords tragedy:
The annual North American International Auto Show in Detroit has often been a place for local members of Congress to meet and greet constituents.
But this weekend's assassination attempt on an Arizona congresswoman is raising questions about security.
Detroit Congressman Hansen Clarke says this weekend's assassination attempt on an Arizona congresswoman has affected his security plans:
"We are implementing some of the procedures recommended by the U. S. Capitol Police, but I feel confident that those will be adequate."
Clarke was sworn in for his first turn in Congress just days ago.
One of the first people he met was Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
Clarke says the two talked about both being graduates of Cornell University.
He expressed sadness on the attempt on Giffords' life, but he says that danger is just a fact of life that all elected officials must face:
"I'm not going to change how I work. I'm going to be as open and available to the public. I think that's very important. I represent the taxpayers. I'm paid by the taxpayers. I'm hired by them to work for them. They need to know that their government is open and available to them."
