While many may run a blog just for fun, for those trying to communicate a purpose, it can be serious business. "The Digital Approach" was about me trying to show how fashion can be embodied not only in print, but in the digital media, especially in the genre of the blog. Every blog has strengths and weaknesses, and mine is no exception.
Tumblr was my chosen platform for this particular blog: it allowed for the easy postings of images, text, and videos, and for a professional, yet personal look. One of the strengths of the blog include the easy navigation. The layout includes an actual space for the posts and a separate "sidebar". This sidebar includes a disclaimer and a quote dealing with fashion (by Yves Saint Laurent). It also includes a hyperlink to the "about" section, as well as hyperlinks for posts and responses. Along with the tags (which can be seen by "hovering" over a post), these allow for an easier navigation of the blog that could save a reader time in scrolling thought all the posts. Other links can be seen in the upper section of the blog. These include a "home" link that takes the reader to the main page (in case they are on a particular post); an "ask" link that leads a reader to an ask box where they can leave any questions or short comments; an "archive" link that takes the person to the archive page, which displays small visuals of each post; a "submit" link where readers can submit photos, longer responses, videos, quotes, or links that I can choose to publish or not to publish to the blog, creating interaction; and a "theme" link that serves as credit to the maker of the layout (it is frowned upon to remove them). Another strength is the use of a color scheme for the theme. Red, white, and black/grays serve as the primary colors in the blog and I tried to show them not only in the layout and the sidebar image, but also in the posts themselves. I feel that this adds cohesion and is very visually appealing. I also find the different uses of media to be a strength of the blog. I incorporated "spotlights", images, text, and video in order to add variety and keep the blog more interesting. The "spotlights" are my reviews on particular fashion blogs that show how one can be successful in blogging (for example, thesartorialist.com). I also used outside sources by quoting articles written by other people interested in fashion and presenting my views on these opinions. A weakness could be seen in the fact that, by using tumblr (and with tumblr's new response length restrictions), I had to "reblog" responses to my peers, which appear on my blog and can be distracting from the purpose of my writing. I tried solving this problem by the creation of links to "responses" and "posts."
I love my blog. While it only has 8 followers, my posts have gotten "likes" and few "reblogs" (where people make my post appear on their page). I feel that my blog presents a different view on fashion blogging, actually considering what it is that sets it apart from printed journalism. I talk about how blogging allows for a faster transmission of news to a fashion-savvy audience. I learned how to communicate with this particular audience better by creating this blog. I had to think about what I wrote and how my readers would perceive this information. My thoughts had to be articulated so that they could be easily understood by people outside of the English major. I had to include visuals, which is different from what I learned in high school through writing essays. Creating this blog in a digital media permitted me to use videos and links to communicate the idea that fashion blogging is a great innovation and opens doors for many writers.
I think this blog warrants a B+ or A-. I didn't include as many sources as I could for writing about fashion in the online world, but I feel that my blog presents a clear point in showing how beneficial the blogosphere has been for a quick and clear communication of the importance and beauty of fashion. It takes a positive view on technology and how easily-accessible resources are due to this progression. After all, if fashion wasn't online as well as in magazines, this blog wouldn't truly have any purpose.
P.S.: To anyone who has taken anything new and intriguing from this blog, I thank you for your time and hope I could help open your eyes to the wonderful world of fashion blogging.
The poll may provide beneficial knowledge on how today's society uses different mediums to get their fashion news and show which medium, print or web-enable, is preferred.
Edit: out of the 12 votes, 10 say that they find their fashion news and advice on blogs (that's 83%!), while 8 % (one vote each) find their fashion news in magazines and websites of magazines. I guess it goes to show just how important the blog has become to the fashion-savvy youth culture of today.
When one starts a blog, as I've stated previously, they usually don't expect much. It's strange to think, then, that some get just the opposite. As in printed work, advertisements are becoming prevalent in fashion blogs. Notice those pesky "Shop here for the latest trends!" ads on the sidebars of many popular blogs? It's because brands and stores have come to realize the potential that this attention-drawing business of blogging receives. I have stumbled upon an article called "Fashion Blogging Grows Up: Why Advertisers Want a Piece of the Action" (which can be found here ). It's an interesting read to say the least.
Karen Robinovitz, co-founder of the digital management agency Digital Brand Architects (which was co-founded with Kendra Bracken-Ferguson, formally of Ralph Lauren) states that "There's no difference to Hollywood in that someone might be worth a lot of money because they know how to open a movie. If [a blogger] can convert 14,000 people in a week for you, that's worth something. We believe that if someone is providing a service you would normally pay someone for — a model, photographer, stylist, designer, etc. — then the blogger should be compensated appropriately."
She's not the only one to hold that opinion. A source quoted off the record adds to the argument, stating that
"There's a relationship between editorial and advertising, and there are ways of building relationships with a site through advertising."
This is one of the ways that the blog is different from the magazine. While, in a magazine, it is the publication that profits from the advertisement, in blogging, it's the actual blogger- the writer, who profits. Writing, and especially writing in blogging, is a talent that is becoming recognized by the people with the money. Advertisers are turning more and more to the internet- the bloggosphere- to hook new clients. And why shouldn't they take notice? Millions of people on the internet "tune in" to these bloggers and take their word for all that they can. It's the bloggers who start the trends and their readers follow them. Why not take advantage of that?
Reading this brought me back to reading So Yesterday by Scott Westerfeld when I was younger. In the novel, there was a kind of hierarchy: an Innovator creates the trends, they're the ones who tie their shoe laces in a certain way first; the Trendsetter passes on the trend (and get paid to do so at times- the characters in the novel did by sitting in a focus group for commercials); then come the normal people- the ones who consume the trends after they hit the store fronts. The bloggers today make me think of these characters- the Trendsetters. They may not set the trends, but they do well to copy them and popularize them on the web. So why shouldn't they get paid?
Much like the fashion magazine, the blog reaches many and provides a perfect platform for brands to make themselves seen. If magazines get paid for it, the fashion blogs should as well. After all, in this day of communication and technological advancement, it is the fashion blogger that many turn to.
This is tumblr- the newest platform for bloggers to express and impress. When one signs up for this site, they usually don't expect to hit it "big" (and those who do don't seem to get far). Tumblr has become a kind of home for hipsters, writers, sports fans, and (of course) fashion bloggers. During the last NY Fashion Week, tumblr sent twenty four of their own to the events. They got passes to the shows and an opportunity to network with fashion's elite. It was a way to connect the world of the internet with the "real" world, a way to form a kind of union between tumblr and the fashion world in a way that seemed unheard of before. I remember, I used to track a girl on this site that was one of the 24 bloggers selected. Before NYFW, she was popular on the site, but she was struggling in her life outside of the internet. Then this opportunity presented itself and she posted all about her experiences, from the events to the clothes to the people and so on. Now, she runs a successful blog (including sponsors) and seems to be doing rather well in her actual life. It's strange, one wouldn't think that the internet could open doors, but it does. Making connections online and through blogging can allow for connections outside of the internet. While there is the issue of safety on sites like these, there are also a plethora of open doors for those who try (or are simply lucky enough to have exquisite taste and make it on someone's radar). This is the internet age, and it's time that we, society, accepted it for all that it can give us.

I have been given another excellent opportunity to log LG Sciences' PSARM (Yohimbine free version) along with Natadrol which should make the strongest natural stack available on the market. There are several sponsored and non sponsored logs being run on Natadrol and from every review I have seen it has far exceeded their expectations. However, I am getting the opportunity to stack PSARM with it which has stood on its own as a powerful muscle builder. Together this should be one Epic stack and I recommend everyone to come inside and participate on my journey.
Background info:
I am in the best shape I have ever been in and the plan it to complete my fat to swole transformation by the end of summer. The diet will be in check throughout this run and I will be putting everything into it. I had a bit of a setback recently by reaggrevating my torn L4/L5 disk. I have since had 2 spinal injections and the pain is mostly gone. As a result I have had to drop a few fun exercises from my arsenal, but I have kept the same intensity that has helped me completely change my body.
Age: 35 years
Height: 6 foot even
Weight: 198bs
Bodyfat%: 17% estimate
I plan to drop the fat from my belly and am going to bust my ass for the next month to be as lean as possible for my Cancun trip on 3/25. I want those fine ass chica's checking me out and making my wife jealous. LOL
I have also changed my routine to an intense full body split routine that I have already experienced some changes from. Now that my back is squared away, I only had one good week since the change, I am set to grow. I am now logging my workouts and plan to beat my log book by a rep or weight increase every time. The Natadrol and PSARM should help facilitate it as well
Weight goal: 200lbs (Hoping for 6lbs go gain and 4lbs of fat loss)
Lifting goal: Continue to beat the log book every workout.
Body fat goals: below 15%
Cycle Layout:
Natadrol - 2 caps, 3x per day
PSARM - 1 cap AM, 2 caps near lunch/preworkout and 1 around 6PM
PCT - Undecided between Formadrol Extreme and T911. I rand Formadrol as a PCT for M-Drol back when I was really unexperienced and it worked great. I also really liked T911 when I ran that after MMV3/MMV2.
Other Supps:
Fish Oil
BC+EAA during workout
2 - 40g protein shakes per day
Here is my baseline. I should look a lot better in 4 weeks.

subset: commoncrawl

Enjoy a literary odyssey, reading literature inspired by Greek myth and history while traveling through those fabled landscapes. The first part of the course will focus on the different ways contemporary authors (in English) draw from Greek myths and epics—through seminar discussions and field trips in Athens as well scheduled excursions to Marathon, Mycenae, Sparta, Delphi, Thessaloniki, and more. Then take a week to focus on your own writing, in a creative writing workshop in residence at a beautiful 19th century villa on the island of Aegina.
The course is intended for enthusiastic readers, and the first three weeks focus on literature. For the workshop component of the last week, students will ideally have an interest in the craft of writing as well. Beginners are welcome (and encouraged), and experienced writers can expect a high level of critique and discourse.
The program will begin in Athens, where we'll immerse ourselves in myths and mythic figures - from the gods and goddesses of the Greek pantheon to iconic historical figures such as Aeschylus, Aristotle and Alexander the Great - that continue to shape the way we think about love, war, family, sacrifice, politics, friendship, place, honor, even storytelling itself. Then we'll start looking at the way those stories and those people (real or imagined) have been reconsidered in current literature. We'll meet inside the classroom but also at points of interest around the city suggested by our reading (including museums, archaeological sites and monuments).
We'll also take longer journeys, through the terrains of the stories and novels we're reading, to the battleground of Marathon in Attica, the archaeological sites of Corinth, Mycenae, and Sparta in the Peloponnese, the home of the oracle at Delphi, and the vibrant city of Thessaloniki, among others.
Then we'll ferry to Aegina, an island in the Saronic Gulf, to take up residence in a beautiful 19th century villa for a week long writing retreat and workshop. Students will exchange work and discuss their pieces in a thoughtful and supportive environment, with short readings, conversations about craft, writing exercises, and time and space to create new work. The workshop will be designed to accommodate writers at all stages; experienced writers are invited to bring up to 15 pages of prose (or 3 poems) in advance, and beginners will have a chance to experiment after a few weeks in the birthplace of the muses!
You will earn 3 credits for this summer term.
You will stay in student apartments in Athens, shared hotel rooms while on the road and a beautiful 19th century villa on the island of Aegina for the writing workshop.
Summer term: Late-May to July
GPA Requirements: 2.75 on a 4.0 scale.
You must be in good academic standing and not on disciplinary probation. You need to submit a complete application including a transcript, letter of recommendation and an advisor's form before your application will be considered.
For more information about this summer program, please contact your Program Manager, Chris Callas, at email@example.com.


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Topolino means Mickey Mouse, and is the primary Italian Disney publication. Begun in 1949, it was originally published at a monthly rate, then twice a month, but within a few years it became a weekly comic (which it still is to this day) thus making it one of the longest-running comic book publications in history.General NotesThe following three issues don't actually exist:Topolino #480 (February 7, 1965) was never printed due to a strike and as such the series numbering goes straight from 479 to 481.Topolino #1370 (February 28, 1982) was also never printed due to a strike thus the series skips from 1369 to 1371.Topolino #1531 (March 31, 1985) is the most recent Topolino issue to have not been printed due to a strike so the series jumps from 1530 to 1532.With #2009, the release date for the comic changed from Sunday to Wednesday.

SEC Media Days: Lived up to the hype!
I attended my first SEC Media Days unsure of what to expect. Sandra Golden told me before we left on Wednesday that I should be prepared for what I was about to experience. She did not over-promise or under-deliver.
Every sports media outlet with any credibility was there. Over 1200 media people attended over three days to get comments, quotes, video or photos from the likes of Nick Saban, Mark Richt, Les Miles, Will Muschamp, AJ McCarron, and of course Johnny Manziel.
Rabid fans crowded the lobby of the Hyatt Regency Wynfrey Hotel from 7am to 7pm with goofy hats, mini helmets, signs, jerseys and cameras. But the meek don't inherit an autograph or photo. That prize goes to the loudest and pushiest!
I was impressed at this finely tuned machine that is the most powerful football conference on the planet. SEC Commissioner Mike Slive worked the lengthy "radio row" tirelessly and was as gracious during his last interview on Thursday as he was during his first on Tuesday. Every Ballroom and Hospitality Suite was filled with rows and rows of reporters on laptops or sets for ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS and the like.
For me, one of the highlights of our broadcast was getting to discuss a "uniform drug policy" for the conference with Commissioner Slive, even though he adeptly dodged a real answer. I thought AJ McCarron was candid in saying he knows when it's time to go home and doesn't need anyone to tell him who he should hang out with off the field. Vandy coach James Franklin showed lots of charisma as he explained how he promises the parents of his recruits a great education and a chance to play in the SEC. "Anchor Down!"
Never once did I sense that this was a free-for-all, until Nick Saban sat down 10 feet from me and did an interview with a station from Birmingham. We were on the air live as Saban, surrounded by cameramen and reporters, held court. One videographer steadied himself so as not to fall over by putting his foot on my chair. Another guy apologized for using my shoulder as a railing. No other coach or player commanded that kind of ruckus, except for JOHNNY FOOTBALL! Although I wasn't there on Wednesday morning, those who were said it was bedlam.
But that is the essence of SEC Media Days. The biggest names in college football give unprecedented access to the media and fans alike. Besides, for the first time, I got to vote for the Media Preseason All SEC team. I picked UGA to win the East and Bama to win the West. And by 8pm on Saturday December 7th, we'll know if I was smart to pick the Dawgs to win the SEC Championship.
It's NFL Draft Day (…finally)
We've been talking about it for months now. At least since the Monday after the Super Bowl. The Atlanta Falcons had the 30th pick then and they have the 30th pick now. Will they make a move just hours from now? Will they give up a 3rd Round pick to draft "their guy" at 18 or 22? Or will they give up their 1st Round pick for a 2nd and 3rd Round pick?
In the morning The Front Row will be talking about him, whoever he is. So will every other sports radio show in the country. What I want to know is, "did they listen to me?"
I said… I'd select a pass rusher with the 1st pick!
Plan A) Get an OLB who can get to the QB. An OLB that can cover a TE would be awesome.
Plan B) A DE who can rush the passer. A DE who can play the run as well would be great.
But if you don't like who's left… Here's the plan…
Plan C) A CB who can start this season. A future Pro-Bowler would be fantastic.
There you have it. I'm a GENIUS!
The BIG QUESTION is: Will the Falcons draft a player from FSU? Will they select one of the available Seminoles to the delight of my friend and co-host Sandra Golden? (Tank Carradine? Bjoern Werner?) You can respond in the comments section
Oh, and here's a PROP BET for you: o/u 3.5 People who go up to Brian Finneran tonight at Dave & Buster's and ask, "is FRAN here?" Don't miss the 2013 Draft Party at Dave & Buster's, Sugarloaf!
Hope you'll listen to Sandra Golden, Brian Finneran, and me tomorrow on The Front Row, 9:30am-12n on 680 The Fan!
First Trip to Spring Training
Walking into Champion Stadium at 7:30 on a chilly Monday morning, I was caught off guard by how quiet it was. There was a light layer of morning fog and there was nobody moving around the field at all. The freshly-cut grass smelled great!
Soon Sandra Golden, Brian Finneran and I joined Jonathan Chadwick in the Braves dugout so we could tape interviews with the players and coaches. Slowly, some of the Braves players made their way out of the clubhouse, through the dugout, and onto the field to start taking some swings in their indoor batting cages.
The clubhouse opens to the media at 8am so we made our way in to start chatting with guys who would be willing to come and tape interviews. Nobody wants to yuk it up before they've had their breakfast so you've got to approach them slowly. You've got to remember athletes are athletes and radio guys are radio guys and we're not at spring training to do the same job.
Time spent in the clubhouse doesn't always lead to interviews right away. For instance, it's inappropriate to ask a pitcher to do much of anything if he's pitching that day but most guys will loosen up on off days. Sometimes they've got to eat before the bus leaves for an away game. Sometimes they just would rather not at that exact moment. And since this was my first trip to spring training, some of them didn't really know who the hell I was.
However, it is our job to get these players to open up to us. They have to trust that we're not going to make them look bad. We have to be knowledgeable enough to ask good questions and creative enough to make it fun. Kris Medlen was fun. Brian McCann was relaxed and open about his rehab progress. Rookie J.R. Graham had never done a radio interview before but we convinced him to be himself and he was very cool. Fredi Gonzalez is used to answering questions everyday but he's a professional and answered every question candidly. Chris Johnson who came over in the Martin Prado trade was cool and is excited to compete to play 3rd full-time. And there were many other moments that I hope will lead to a great relationship with the team.
The point is, we did this every day last week. There are worse places to be than at the ballpark every day. After the show we enjoyed the game if it was at home. Champion Stadium at ESPN's Wide World of Sports complex is modern, intimate, and gives fans unbelievable access to the team. Of course you can't "WORK" all the time, so I felt it necessary to try and squeeze in some golf and a little pool time at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek. I was tempted to visit Mickey Mouse, since he's just a mile or two away but maybe next time.
If you're a real Braves fan, make the trip if you can. It's well worth it!
Baseball vs Football
I love Football! I consider it my favorite sport! I love it for the
speed, the strategy, the athleticism, the play-calling, and even the
violence... and there's nothing like the passion of College Football!
BUT, since Baseball is finally here I have to say there is something special about the game of Baseball. You really can't compare the
two. In fact, I think Baseball is more of a thinking man's game.
Here's why... on one hand you could say Baseball is a much slower
game. There's all the time between pitches with players tightening
their batting gloves, re-setting their helmets, adjusting their junk, taking the
signs, spitting etc... etc... But in between each pitch I consider
how I'd pitch to a certain batter. I wonder where the batter is going
to try and put the ball in play. I like the tension between the
pitcher and batter on each pitch. Man-to-man. Mano-y-mano. It's
Can Kimbrel throw this heater past him? Will Medlen get a batter to
swing at a great Slider? Will the runner get caught leaning too far
at first so Hudson can pick him off? Is the Ump calling a fair
strike-zone? Men on 1st and 2nd, 1 out, single to Right... does the
3rd base coach wave the runner in?? There's a new situation with
every pitch based on the count... how many outs you have... how many
men on base...?
In Football, you have to keep your eye on 22 men on every play! But
who can do that?? In Baseball, as soon as the ball is in play, there
is only one guy to watch as he fields the ball! He can't hide. If he
blows it... we ALL see it. If the third baseman throws it over the
head of the first baseman, it's an error and we all see it. In
Football, if the Left Guard holds his man, we'll probably need a
replay to see it. In Football, if the Cornerback holds the receiver
we need slow-mo to see it from another angle! But in Baseball, if the
SS doesn't handle the short-hop just right, we all see it and we don't
need a replay to get it. The runner beats the throw and man on first!
And, unlike football where 1 TD doesn't change the game dramatically,
one hit can alter the entire game. If you're down by 4 runs with
bases loaded in the 8th... how awesome is it to see a guy jack a grand
slam??? He blows the game wide open!!
Football is a game of strategy for sure! It's a BIG event with
gladiators looking to kill each other on every play! But, Baseball?
Man... On a muggy July night at Turner Field... with a cold brew and a
bag of peanuts...? There's nothing like watching the boys of summer
as one batter and one pitcher go face to face on every single pitch!
I am a bad Dad
I am a bad Dad. Apparently, I have no regard for my son's safety or future because I let him play tackle football. I say this as more and more reports come out about the dangers of concussions related to football injuries.
Maybe it's because I played Pop Warner football as a kid. Maybe it's because I cherish my memories of playing football in high school. Maybe it's because I think my son might be good enough to play football in college. Or maybe it's because I want to expose him to all sports as a child and let him decide which one will find HIM, if any.
My son has played basketball, baseball, gone to lacrosse camp, and recently said football is his favorite sport. I don't know what the future holds for him. I don't know if he'll even play sports in high school. But as long as he wants to play, his mother and I will support it.
I understand the odds are against any kid playing college sports after high school. In fact only 2 % of high school athletes will go on to play collegiate sports. Your odds go up if you're open to playing at the FCS, Div II or Div III level. But let's see it for what it is. A scholarship to play athletics at the collegiate level is a chance to get a college education in return for playing a sport you love! It's a dream, right?
Back to why I'm a bad Dad. Knowing what I know, I wouldn't ever want my son to experience long-term problems from head trauma. But I am honestly more worried about his knees from playing football. I have had two knee operations. The first was playing football in my senior year of high school because of an ACL tear and cartilage damage. The second was playing baseball in my freshman year of college and it removed my ACL (I don't have one) and about 2/3rds of my remaining cartilage. I'm staring down the barrel of knee replacement soon, so I don't wish that for my 12-year-old. Yet I've had as many concussions as knee operations.
But football isn't the only sport where kids can suffer head injuries. It happens in skateboarding. It happens in gymnastics, cheerleading, soccer, and even just riding a bike. Injuries in sports happen all the time. If he suffers any injury we'll have to consider future problems from continuing to play that sport.
However, I honestly believe the rewards of playing team sports outweigh the possible risks of long-term injury. Team sports teach kids a lot about responsibility, sportsmanship, and life in general. A team (like a chain) is only as good as it's weakest link. Is there anything more humiliating than being the guy who missed his block and allowed a sack? Conversely, is there anything better than being a part of a team that wins a championship of any kind, at any level? While he's a kid, I want him to play whatever sport he'd like. If that means a trip to the emergency room one day, I'll have to risk being called a bad Dad. Meanwhile, I just love being Jack's Dad.

Ferman: Kauffman Murder A Clear Capital Case
Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman says she decided to seek the death penalty for accused child killer James Lee Troutman soon after she heard about the case. She says it is strictly a matter of state law.
"There's a death penalty statute, and that statute lays out what we call aggravating factors and mitigating factors, and it lays out a list of conditions that are required to be present for a district attorney to seek the death penalty. We look at those factors and determine whether it's appropriate for us legally to seek the death penalty."
She says the problem with capital cases is not with getting the conviction or getting jurors to sentence a defendant to death. The problem is with the appeals process.
"We all know that these cases seem to never end. I look in Philadelphia at the Mumia case, which has gone on forever. In Montgomery County we have the Eichinger case, where the appeals just never end, and because capital cases have that kind of scrutiny even after the conviction and after the sentencing, we know going in that we're in for a marathon."
Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted in the 1983 murder of Philadelphia Police Officer Danny Faulkner. John Eichinger was found guilty of first degree murder in the stabbing deaths of 28-year-old Heather Greaves, her 21-year-old sister Lisa, and Heather's three-year-old daughter, Avery Johnson, at their King of Prussia home on Good Friday of 2005. The 24-year-old Troutman allegedly raped nine-year-old Skyler Kauffman and beat her to death earlier this month at the Souderton Gardens Apartments, where they both lived. Ferman appeared Thursday on the WNPV talk program Comment Please by Univest.

If you shop online at Amazon often, it is important that you keep an eye on prices within 7 days of delivery to your home.
Here's why. Amazon.com always offers a price adjustment within 7 days of delivery of any item sold by Amazon and fulfilled by Amazon to your home. I have received 3 price adjustments totally $26.58 just from recent purchases in the last 7 days, and all were from special one day offers or just low prices that I found while shopping online.
How it works is this. Price adjustments (the difference between the current price and the price you paid within 7 days of delivery) will either be credited to your method of payment or you'll receive a promotional credit in your Amazon.com account.
To see if you have any money coming your way, simply follow these directions:
Head to your recent orders here
Click on each of the products individually to check their current price
IF the current price is less AND you are within 7 days of delivery, you'll get the difference by contacting customer service here
Let me give you my most recent example that happened just this morning. I purchased this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ninja Combat Gear Michelangelo set for our son on 11/30/13. It was delivered 12/3/13 and I paid $11.04.
In checking my recent order prices, I saw that this toy is currently selling for $9.99 today, 12/7/13.
And, when I started a chat by clicking the help button here, the customer service rep offered to give me a $2 promotional credit in my account that I can apply towards my next offer. This credit can be used in conjunction with gift cards or promotional credits, too! You can also call or email but in my opinion, chat is by far the easiest.
Don't leave FREE money on the table and happy saving!
Please note that in order to get a price adjustment your item needs to be sold by Amazon and fulfilled by Amazon (see blue circle above).

The crux is at the top two bolts, bit spooky and run-out to the chains. An excellent route all the same, even more so in the afternoon, when it is in the shade. However, this route is much more exciting if you don't have a guidebook and start up it because it "looks cool".... I think this is the best "sport" route on Potash Road.
In RIGHT facing corner to left of Static Cling, starts directly under tree. Rappel.
Four bolts, but you'll need gear to 1 Camalot, emphasis small stuff. Fixed anchors at top with rings; 50 meter rope fine.
Great description Carl. Clear and concise. I found myself on this route last year by mistake. I was told it was 10a ish. Half way up I knew it wasn't. Then, the same guy that told me it was 10ish appologized. He was looking at a different route in the guide. At this time I had never even toproped an 11, let alone lead one. To my surprise I made it through the crux clean. I blew it near the top on the sandy unprotectible yet easier terrain and took a 15 footer on my last piece (.5 camalot) that I placed a few feet above the last bolt. Some may find this placement unnecessary but I didn't mind having it. Someone caught a snap shot of my fall. See photo.
Did this route a year ago for the first time and was knocked unconscious from the whip I took after the last bolt. Did it again over the weekend and it is definitely a great route. Comforting to the ego to finally see that its more than 5.10! In my opinion its the best bolted route on Potash. Also, I did it without gear and it thought it was protected well enough with just the bolts other than at the very top where you cant get gear anyway.
Dane, isn't it ironic to say this route is well protected with just the bolts yet you were knocked unconsious from a fall on this very same route. You must have really hit your head hard. And, I really don't believe there is gear above the last bolt except for two feet about the last bolt. That's all.
Awesome climb for sure. its funny that the description should say something about hopping on it because it looks cool because that's exactly what i did and loved it. way harder than i anticipated and than i usually lead but still suuuuppppeeeerrr fun. wanna go back and lead it clean. would definitely recommend this route!
Greg, I was desperate at the top and stepped over the rope causing me to flip when i fell. I did this route in my second year climbing when i was stronger than i was smart. Went back again recently and i think the PG13 rating is warranted.

What exactly is rosacea? I know it involves redder skin, but I also heard that sometimes people who think they have adult acne actually have rosacea.
What exactly is rosacea? I know it involves redder skin, but I also heard that sometimes people who think they have adult acne actually have rosacea.
People with rosacea look like they are blushing. Their skin is very sensitive and they get outbreaks that can sometimes seem like acne, only the whole area is red and it goes way beyond pimples.
OK, so the redness spreads beyond the blemishes. What negative effects (besides appearance) does having rosacea entail? What are the treatment options for those who suffer from this condition?
Rosacea is a chronic condition and rarely resolves without treatment. Mild rosacea can be limited to mild redness of the cheeks. However, in the most severe forms, the skin overlying the nose can become permanently swollen and red (called rhinophyma) because of dilated blood vessels and abnormal enlargement of oil glands.
About Rosacea Treatment
Yeah it's true rosacea is something redness in your face..and accompanied with acne..it may occur usually when you are sweating it seema that your like blushing but actually it is rosacea..
Download FREE 3 Day Crash Course
The Golden Rules You Must Follow to Sweat Normally
reduce sweating
Stop sweating and start living
when talking about Rosacea it is mainly a chronic skin condition involving inflammation of the cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, or eyelids. It may appear as redness, prominent spider-like blood vessels, swelling, or skin eruptions that has similar picture to acne.
Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition which principally affects the face. Rosacea causes facial redness and produces small, red, pus filled pustules bumps. Rosacea worsens with time if left untreated. It is often mistaken for acne or eczema, or some other skin allergy.

A Fisker Karma Car Costs $112,000, but Costs Taxpayers $529,000,000
Re-posted from PJMedia Recently, I attended an event where a new 2012 Fisker Karma sports car was on display. Up until this time I had never heard of a Fisker Karma and after looking at the price tag I know why. It was a shocking $112,000. The Fisker Karma, manufactured by Fisker Automotive, looks like it should have a starring role in a Mission Impossible | Read More »

DOE Announces 31st Annual University Coal Research Competition Projects Sought to Enhance Long-Term Use of American Coal
Pittsburgh — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released a funding opportunity announcement calling on U.S. colleges and universities to propose new projects that will lead to the cleaner use of coal, America's most abundant energy resource. The announcement launches the 31st year of DOE's University Coal Research program, the Department's longest-running student-teacher research grant program.
Since the program began in 1979, nearly 1,780 students have received hands-on research experience investigating long-term solutions to enhance the long-term use of coal. This year, the program will make available $2 million to fund projects, with a maximum of $300,000 per project. Each project will involve one or two colleges or universities and will extend over 36 months. Research proposals are being sought in three areas of interest:
Proposals are due by November 24, 2009. The National Energy Technology Laboratory, which implements the University Coal Research program, will name the winning projects in July 2010.
The funding opportunity announcement can be accessed from Grants.gov.

"Girl scout cookie time," says a volunteer as she sets out cookies for buyers.
Girl Scout troop 2532 set up a cookie stand in front of the Taylorsville Walmart Saturday morning.
"Would you like to buy some girl scout cookies?" shouts a small Girl Scout to nearby shoppers.
"This is our troop favorite. It's a Savannah Smile," a Girl Scout tells a browsing shopper.
Around 4:00 p.m they saw him.
"This car pulled up and he got out of the car," said Girl Scout, Rae Steinke.
"He said he's interested in the thin mints," said Girl Scout Volunteer, Sherri Boyette.
"He got out of the car and he asked how much were the cookies," said Girl Scout, Kennedi Leon.
"As he's getting out of the car he's acting like he's got his wallet, reaches for his wallet coming toward the table," said Boyette.
"...and when he came up he kind of pulled out his wallet even more and grabbed the thing (small money bag) and ran into his car," said Steinke.
"Jumped into the car shut the door and they just zoomed off," said Leon.
"It was so fast I couldn't grab it and it was like should I jump over the table? Should I go around the girls and go after him? It was that quick," Boyette said.
The suspect had a small bag full of money.
The Girl Scouts would have used the money to help the homeless and animals in at the Humane Society. The money would also pay for Girl Scout camp.
"It's just rude and you shouldn't do it to poor girls who are innocent and haven't done anything to you," said Leon.
"Why why would you do that? We worked hard you don't," said Girl Scout, Michaela Boyette.
Girl Scouts of Utah released this statement:
"Girl Scouts of Utah is saddened to learn that this individual would prey on Girl Scouts selling cookies. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest business entrepreneurial program for girls in the country, and Girl Scouts sell cookies to earn money for summer camp, field trips, programs, and merchandise from our shops. The Cookie Program teaches girls the importance of goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics, and it's a shame that the girls at that particular cookie booth had the results of their hard work taken from them."
The suspect is described as a white skinny man in his 20's. He has a tattoo on his left forearm. He stands between 5'7" and 5'9" and weighs 150 pounds.
Call tips into the Unified Police Department.

-- new study out in which surveyors found some kids are becoming obsessed with getting ripped.
So much so that researchers found that one of every twenty middle and high school students turned to steroids to bulk up.
They're talking about kids as young as fourteen.
The report comes out of the pediatrics medical journal and it isn't just boys looking to build up.
The researchers say 13 of boys and 15 of girls have used those popular protein shakes which is a completely different thing obviously.
They found that between five and 10% used other muscle enhancing products like it's -- seen.
Chemicals doctors say it might cause can kidney damage and high doses but they're not sure.
Doctors point to peer pressure and more muscular guys on TV.
And for some reason they point to this guy is some sort of someone somebody might be following which is -- that they're old and have no idea what they're talking about.
It is not clear how widespread trend really is nationwide the study looked only at students in schools in Minneapolis.
Most of them from lower middle income families for what it's worth joining us now doctor Arthur Caplan.
Director of the medical ethics division at NYU's like a medical center he's also the co director of the news sports ethics and society program at New York University -- afternoon.
-- thanks for him so the kids are -- and not new information these numbers seem big they're big -- the kids are too young.
So it's never acceptable to -- but when you start to see a fourteen year old do it.
The side effects of the drugs are going to be worse -- earlier you use your kind of pre puberty you're -- longer.
This is bad news and I'm sure it's going on.
All of this happening in Minneapolis it's happening other place -- percent you know that it built the one to eight kids -- -- -- your fourteen.
You know they.
That's one of the problems with the all this marijuana talk.
I mean they used to tell kids at fourteen all use that in your -- all these bad of course none of that is true right and that but it is true with this well the sad fact his steroids work they just have nasty side -- you know -- -- work.
So what we've got to do I think he's given on the parents if you see -- -- bulk up from thirteen to fourteen get on the coaches -- on the trainers and say.
What's going on here I come back from summer vacation I put on thirty pounds of muscle at age fourteen.
So where are you you wonder it's if if steroids are available in every Jim everywhere if anybody can get them.
And if that's happening in our middle schools that there's a dealer in the middle school well we.
We have the problems we do have problems I don't think the messages come out from the pro sports scene yet to say.
Knock this off we're going to be tough on it you know it happens we'll make that somebody.
But they're not really discouraging -- in the NFL and other sports it trickles right back into the colleges that trickles back out of school and here we over the middle school problem -- to watch for Roy grades and other things if your parent correct at me that sort of thing sudden flare ups but really.
It doesn't take a genius to see if you built up all of a sudden -- dead overnight -- so he's going you know doctor Caplan thank you my pleasure.

Written by: Tadashi Anahori on May 13, 2011 at 2:51 pm | In Erotic Japan Blog | Discuss »Based on a 17th century classic of Chinese erotic literature, 'The Carnal Prayer Mat', Hong Kong director Christopher Sun Lap Key's '3D Sex And Zen: Extreme Ecstasy' has been making waves with its boast of being the World's 1st 3D Porn Movie, and has set its Japanese AV idol stars on the path to worldwide recognition.
As things stood, the scintillating Yukiko Suo and equally foxy Saori Hara weren't exactly in need of a CV boost – the former having featured in such raunchy mini-masterpieces as 'Make Love at School', 'Sweet Smile and Cherryboys' and 'Double Cast Fuck 10-Year Anniversary' (also featuring the divine Miku Ohashi), and the latter, a quarter-German beauty whose rise to stardom at SOD has been nothing short of meteoric, having been crowned Best Actress at the Sky PerfecTV! Adult Broadcasting Awards 2010 (succeeding the not-unsexy Kirara Asuka, one of this writer's all-time favorite girls). Still, with this benchmark skin-flick under their belts these pretty young things (both born in 1988) will undoubtedly see an increase in demand for their unique on-screen talents.
With these saucy ladies sure to be featuring on our monitors a great deal more in the not-too-distant future, we can only hope that '3D Sex And Zen: Extreme Ecstasy' will not be their final foray into the world of 3D filmmaking. In the meantime, why not treat yourself to the next best thing to actual 3D idols – that is to say, true-to-life molds of their naughty bits courtesy of the good folks at Kanojo Toys.

When you're biting into a smooth piece of dark chocolate it's hard to think about anything else. What might not know, however, are the many global issues related to cocoa cultivation and production. Just where did the cocoa in that piece of chocolate come from? And what about the conditions for the farmers who grow it? Cocoa cultivation has a long, and not always pleasant, history.
The story of cocoa grown in Ghana is a compelling one. Traditional cocoa cultivation can be detrimental to the environment as vital forests are cut down to make room for crop cultivation. In Ghana, a crown jewel of biodiversity, about 1.3 percent of the country's remaining forests are lost each year to unsustainably grown cocoa.
In response, a group of Ghana cocoa farmers founded "Kuapo Kokoo" – or, the "Good Cocoa Farmers Company" in the local Twi language – in 1992. It was the first Fair Trade cooperative in Ghana. By using biological pest control, replanting trees, and refraining from chemical spraying, Kuapo Kokoo helps protect the Earth while producing high-quality cocoa.
As part of an effort to ensure the success of Kuapo Kokoo and to guarantee a market for its cocoa, CI's Verde Ventures partnered with Day Chocolate (now known as Divine Chocolate) in 2001, making an initial investment of $250,000. The money ensured that Kuapo Kokoo's cocoa was used in Divine Chocolate's products and proved that cocoa could be sustainably grown. And Kuapo Kokoo members also became shareholders in Day Chocolate; a first for any Fair Trade organization.
The results are in, and Divine Chocolate increased its sales in the UK by 2,000 percent. Its now also available in stores across the United States. Kuapo Kokoo uses responsible production methods and grows delicious cocoa while earning a fairer price. And the Kakum Conservation Area in Ghana is healthier due to sustainable cocoa cultivation.
When local communities, nature, and consumers can all benefit from smart land use, the results can be ... well, very sweet.

Mr Obama has preached till he is blue in the face about how the wealthy do not pay their fair share and are still not paying enough even after Mr Obama's tax increase.
So what does Mr Obama do in his private time?
He visits a high priced exclusive country club in the republican stronghold of Martin County.
He campaigned and complained about all the fat cat republican business owners who had Cayman island tax dodges, used trickery and loopholes to reduce tax burdens, not available to poor and middle class taxpayers.
Yet Mr Obama has no problem hanging out with Tiger Woods who left California to escape it's high tax burden.
Phil Mickelson suggests he's going to do the same and is crucified in the MSM.
Sneaking out of a high tax state is easier than telling the truth. Sneaking out never means you have to apologize.
As long as you are a wealthy sports figure, actor, or sympathetic to the progressive cause, your wealth is off limits and without criticism.
Do not support the progressive agenda, your wealth is a problem to be confiscated and shared.
Tuesday, yet another press conference with staged first responders in the background, Mr Obama is back with the common folk deflecting blame on anyone, but himself or his party for the sequester.
Do as I say not as I do.
You are so right, even the resident libs arent attempting to argue.

I've read that a few people alternate between the EC stacks and Clen in 2 week intervals since Clen tolerance builds up quickly after 2 weeks. I'm finishing a DS cycle pretty soon and am planning a cutting stack. Any opinions on running the two in two week intervals? For example 40mg clen and up a day(depending on tolerance) for two weeks, then maybe 25mgE/200mgC a day for two weeks and repeat?
Also, does anyone have any advice on running Clen through pct? Pros and cons? I've read it may be slightly anabolic, and may control cortisol, but I already have lean FX for that. Would the possible fat loss be worth it or should I wait until after PCT?

Summer 2010 Transfer Talk/RumoursModerator: Gnome Re: SperoniI haven't seen a lot of this geezer, but from what I have seen of him, he looks a pretty good goalkeeper, but not what I would call anything special. I have no idea why it is, but every time I do see him play, he gives me the impression that he has margin for error. If he is as good as that Palace fan says he is and he might be, for all I know, but if he is, why has spent so long at C P and why hasn't another Premiership courted him ?
Re: Speroni
I literally have no idea why he's still with us! He's way too good.
Re: SperoniThanks for the info mate, always rated this guy, brilliant 'keeper.
Is this a rumour you've heard personally, or did you just read it in the times?
Re: SperoniI think Speroni is an excellent 'keeper, and if Green were to leave he`d be a suitable replacement. But as it happens, I`m 99% sure Green won`t leave. And with Green here I`m not really into the idea of having two similar goalkeepers at a similar age. It would make a lot more sense to have either an experienced goalkeeper at the back end of his career (David James, Maik Taylor) who could possibly take over as goalkeeping coach as we seem to need one OR a young goalkeeper (a la Kasper Schmeichel) who could push Green for a place.
Re: Speroni
Just read it in the times, but it does seem pretty reasonable. I know he's Englands number one and all that, but is Rob Green really that great?
Re: SperoniHe looked like an hair-lipped clown when he played for Palarse in the prem.
Re: Speroni
that was 5 years ago... Gomes was shocking at the start of last season, he's now one of the best keepers in the Prem. Things change!
Re: Speroni[quote="Freedman (87)"
Just read it in the times, but it does seem pretty reasonable. I know he's Englands number one and all that, but is Rob Green really that great?[/quote] Put it this way...he's replaceable and i think Speroni would replace him well.
Re: SperoniDoes he still wear tracksuit bottoms?
Re: Speroni
That`s the other one. Gabor Kiraly or something.
Re: SperoniIf Forest dont go up we should go for Lee Camp - seen him a few times this season and been outstanding and hes younger I think than Speroni
Re: Speroni
This is important - I've stated before, keepers wearing these are a no-no. They're always a liability.
Re: Speronithanks for the head up pal. My guess is the greeny is off and he will be our no 1
Re: SperoniI remember when he first joined Palace he said it was in the hope to break into the national team, given a great spell in the SPL with big clubs looking at him.
I'd say he's a decent keeper, but his poor positioning, along with his quick reactions and eccentricity make every save he makes look harder and better than it actually is.
Re: SperoniNo thanks happy with Green.
Decent back up though.
Re: Speroni
Didn't we sign him on loan for a few games once?
Re: SperoniIndeed we did, Pardew brought him in just before he was sacked. I think Green and Walker were both injured, so he sat on the bench whilst Carroll stood in goal.
Re: Speroni
Best keeper in the CCC
Re: Speroni
why because he plays in the championship? Speroni has been top class everytime I have watched him play. I'd have him anyday over Green.

Control of access to content has become a vital aspect of many business models for modern broadcasting and online services. Using the example of digital broadcasting, the author reveals the resulting challenges for competition, broadcasting, and telecommunications. Controlling Access to Content explores the relationship between electronic access control, freedom of expression and functioning competition. It scrutinizes the interplay between law and technique, and the ways in which broadcasting, telecommunications, and general competition law are inevitably interconnected.
European law has widely harmonised the way conditional access is regulated in the Member States of the European Union. The author comments in detail on the relevant rules in European Court of Justice and the European Commission in its function as watchdog of European competition law. The relevant provisions in European broadcasting law, such as the right to short reporting and the so-called list of important events, are discussed extensively, as are the conditions that overrule the free-TV culture that was the essence of traditional broadcasting law. The broad and systematic screening of the existing regulatory framework makes this book an essential resource for all those who are concerned with the electronic control of access to content.
With its in-depth analysis and explicit conclusions, Controlling Access to Content amply supplies the crucial understanding of this complex field that policy makers, regulators, and academics require. It investigates the implications of electronic access control, digitalization, and convergence for broadcasting, as well as the effects of the regulatory framework on innovation, competition, and consumer access to content. It demonstrates clearly at which points the chosen approach could backfire and generate undesirable side-effects, and what lessons can be learned from the pay-TV case for other digital service sectors. Using many examples, the author explains for lawyers, consumer and industry representatives the main lines of the regulatory framework that apply to access-controlled broadcasting, how their interests are affected, and what changes the future might bring.
Table of contents: Preface. Chapter 1. Controlling Access to Content. Chapter 2. Access-Controlled Broadcasting and the Free Flow of Information. Chapter 3. Conditional Access and General Competition Law. Chapter 4. Conditional Access and Telecommunications Law. Chapter 5. Summary and Conclusion. Bibliography. Index.

text: Within the last few years I've gained interest in sports betting. Nothing crazy in terms of the amount of money wagered, as I usually get a similar thrill betting 10 or 20 bucks as others would from betting 100. Having constant interest throughout the games, a reliable tip or just a heavy hunch are usually my reasons for laying down hard-earned cash. Over the last few years I've picked up hints or tendencies in line movements, and correlations with certain teams and sports. A good example would be the NBA's Boston Celtics playing the second night of a back-to-back. The C's have one of the oldest starting lineups in the league, so while they won 56 of their 82 regular season games, 12 of their 26 losses came in the second game of those back to backs. That's a huge percentage, so you learn to stay away or play off of it. Another interesting example of betting trends came in late February the night after Melo was traded to the Knicks. The Nuggets were scheduled to play the Grizzlies, and you could see all of the general public's money was being tossed on Memphis. Usually with so much money being tossed on one team, Vegas's line of points given will adjust accordingly. But for some reason, the points stayed the exact same. You knew something was up. Vegas had a good idea that the Nuggets were going to come out strong with a point to prove, much like the passionate Cleveland Cavaliers team stormed out of the gate without LeBron at the start of the season winning four of their first seven games. So when my buddy said "Hey, lets load up on Memphis tonight," I knew better. Sure enough, the Nuggets played with a huge chip on their shoulder and pounded Memphis. Vegas is good…No, Vegas is great at what they do. I can't begin to tell you how many times, in the last three years, the over/under and spreads have hit by half points and single points. Just this past Friday night I bet the Spurs/Grizzlies over. I bet that the two teams combined score would be less than 189. The combined final score: 190. Meaningless foul shots, field goals, and solo home runs in the 9th inning of a blow out are all critical to Vegas (and me). So when I watched CBS's flagship show 60 minutes this past Sunday highlighting a notorious sports gambler in Vegas named Billy Walter, I was sucked in. Odd's makers literally call him the most feared man in Vegas sports betting history. Dude can't even make bets with most of the book keepers in town because he'll bend the house over. Walter has never had a losing year and bets over a million dollars on games depending on the day. Instead of making decisions based on the Vegas lines like you or I, Billy Walter makes his own lines, and Vegas will then adjust to Billy. I posted the video below that will blow your mind just how big this is. His home command center, his 18-man crew with code names that have all never met one another, and his 20 million dollar jet are all fascinating. Besides the known fact that 60 minutes can make any subject seem interesting, I know you'll love this video just because.

eventually? i am stuck on the fricking first free-roam mission (cant recall the title). first i reached some point where it would lock up on me, i hoped by using 'revert' i could load a different point. nope, it restarts the mission. so i restart, clear a different chedaki camp, find what i think is a nice field for maddox to come pick us up in. he immediately starts drawing fire when he gets in view (its next to one of those sobor towns and theres a tank there).
so of course he gets shot down, which was kinda funny cuz on the radio theyre like 'your chopper is down, maddox is ok though!' then BOOM! the chopper explodes 30 feet from us and there is no parachute
but my question is am i now w/out the chopper for the whole mission? this is going to take for-freaking-ever without one and i really do not want to restart.
a deeper question is, WHY is there a SAVE option but no LOAD option??? what the hell is that about??
---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------
another question is, can i kill the punk next to the castle without recriminations down the line? i popped him but then hes like 'oh fuck we shouldnt have done that!', i was wondering if the game penalizes you somehow for taking out civies.
