About the ManufacturerThe history of Inglesina began in a curious, original way. Everything started with the passion of the company's founder, Liviano Tomasi, for four wheels and mechanics in general. However, young Tomasi was originally interested in go-karts and in fact he dedicated himself to the tuning and setting up of karts for racing. But it was a short step from engines to babies - first through the production of tricycles - especially with the encouragement of a woman: his wife, Bruna.
So, in December 1963, at first accompanied by his brothers Augusto and Sergio, Liviano Tomasi embarked on what was to prove a far-sighted and courageous business venture: he created L'Inglesina Baby and, with it, the production of the first English-style prams - including the historic "London" - which even today represents one of the inspirations for the unmistakable Inglesina pram style.
The company experienced constant and rapid growth, linked to the visibility the brand gained on the Italian market. For a decade, L'Inglesina Baby's production remained centered on English-style prams but as early as the 1970s it introduced a revolutionary stroller: the "Apollo" (whose name pays homage to the new era of space travel). In the 1980s, and the whole next decade, the company developed a presence in other international markets as well, expanding its product line with articles such as baby seats, car seats and baby slings.
Today L'Inglesina Baby is one of the leading companies on the international scene, specializing in the early infancy sector and a recognized interpreter of the "Made in Italy" style, elegance and quality, serving as its ambassador to more than thirty countries around the world for more than forty years.

What follows is a hypothetical perpetual money machine. While I've successfully tried each individual step, I've never put them all together as shown here. Don't think of this as a recommendation of what you should do, but rather take it as intended: a fun way to think about what is possible…
To get started, you need a Discover card account and a good rewards credit card. You can use a Discover card for both purposes… or not. It doesn't really matter. You also need to be signed up for Plink. In your Plink account, put Kmart in your Plink Wallet.
Buy gift cards
Use your Discover account to access the ShopDiscover portal. There you can find Sears with a 10% cash back bonus.
Click through and buy a $50 physical Sears gift card to be mailed to your home. Pay with the credit card linked to Plink and you will earn 300 Plink points since the charge looks like it came from Kmart.
Repeat buying $50 gift cards as often as you'd like, but make each one a completely separate purchase to maximize Plink rewards. With each order, you will earn $5 in Discover Rewards and $3 worth of Plink points.
Upgrade Discover Rewards
Instead of redeeming your Discover Rewards for cash, redeem for Lands' End e-gift cards. These are available for 20% off and work the same as Sears' gift cards. This way, the value of your Discover Rewards grows by 25% (i.e. $40 becomes $50 in Sears' credit).
Redeem Plink Points for Walmart gift cards
There are several options for redeeming Plink points, but for the sake of this alchemy, we'll choose Walmart.
Upgrade Sears (and Lands' End) gift cards to Visa
Go to Sears. Hunt down the secret gift card rack. Use Sears' gift cards to buy $100 Visa (or MasterCard) gift cards (each with a $5.95 fee). You have now lost just under 6% of your gift card value, but you've turned it into a more useful element.
You could stop here, but for fun let's keep going…
Buy eBay gift cards at the grocery store
Take those $100 Visa gift cards to a grocery store that offers fuel points. Best bet is to go to one that offers extra fuel points for gift card purchases. At Kroger, for example, they standardly offer 2 fuel points per dollar for gift card purchases and sometimes run promotions for even more. Buy eBay gift cards.
Buy Walmart gift cards
On eBay, $500 Walmart gift cards are often offered for $485 (3% off face value). Use your eBay gift cards to buy them. You will earn 2% back in the form of eBay bucks which can be used towards future purchases of Walmart gift cards.
Upgrade Walmart gift cards to Visa gift cards
Walmart gift cards can be used to buy fixed value Visa gift cards. Online, Walmart offers $200 Visa gift cards for $206.88.
Pay credit card bill
Remember that this chain started with an online purchase of Sears gift cards. So, take those $200 Visa gift cards to Walmart to load your Bluebird card. Use your Bluebird account's Bill Pay feature to pay off your credit card.
Add it up
Start with a $10,000 investment…
- Buy $10K worth of Sears gift cards, earn $1K Discover Cash and $300 in Plink points.
- Redeem $1K Discover Cash for 25 $50 Lands' End gift cards (they cost $40 each). You now have $1250 in Lands' end gift cards and $10K in Sears' gift cards for a total of $11,250.
- Go to Sears and use $11,230.70 in Sears' gift cards to buy 106 $100 Visa gift cards (yeah, this will take a while!).
- Redeem $300 in Plink points for $300 in Walmart gift cards.
- Go to Kroger (for example) and use those 106 Visa gift cards to buy $10,600 worth of eBay gift cards. Earn 21,200 fuel points.
- On eBay, buy 21 $500 Walmart gift cards for $10,185. Earn $203.70 in eBay Bucks.
- You now have $10,500 in Walmart gift cards from eBay and $300 from Plink. Use those gift cards to buy 52 $200 Visa gift cards. You now have $10,400 in Visa gift cards
- Use $10,000 worth of Visa gift cards to payoff the original $10K investment.
Here's what you have left:
- Two $200 Visa gift cards = $400
- Sears gift card value: $19.30
- eBay gift card value: $415
- eBay Bucks: $203.70
- Walmart gift card value: $42.24
Total profit: $1080.24! Plus, don't forget those 21,200 fuel points (you will need them for all those trips to Sears, Kroger, and Walmart!). And, of course, you would earn rewards from your credit card for $10K worth of spend.
The gift card alchemy shown above is theoretically possible, but it is far from realistic. There are many problems that would crop up in the real world. For example, here are a few:
- ShopDiscover cash back might not post correctly.
- Sears' fraud department will most likely get concerned when you place so many individual $50 gift card orders!
- Sears is unlikely to have 106 $100 Visa gift cards!
- Even if you could buy over $10K worth of eBay gift cards at a grocery store, they typically come in $25 denominations. Do you really want to rub off all those silver strips and key in all those numbers? I didn't think so.
- While $500 Walmart gift cards are regularly offered on eBay for $485, they typically do not ship them for several months. Plus, you're unlikely to find 21 of them!
- At any time, Walmart might stop allowing the use of their gift cards to buy Visa gift cards.
- The ability to use Visa gift cards to load Bluebird accounts may come to an end at any time.
I picked a $10K starting point just as a fun way of showing big profits. In real life, the only way someone could make this work is to do it in much smaller numbers. However, with smaller numbers come smaller profits. Is it worth all of that running around and absorbing all those risks for $100? $50? For most people, probably not. Still, its fun to think of what is possible…

Great post.
This IS the perpetual machine that I have been waiting for you to show us!
Almost as good as the Citi savings accounts funded by cc.
Now to get on with my day job …
Or you can invest in a mutual fund and watch your money grow. Probably less hassle.
doesn't work, ebay gift cards are no longer offered anywhere
toby: They have reappeared in some locations including my local Kroger
I converted my Sears gift cards at KMart yesterday and got back a register coupon for $.30 off of up to 15 gallons at Speedway. Nice Bonus. The cashier said the coupon was given for every $50 purchase. I don't think it required a Kmart Rewards or Sears ShopYourWay account but I may be wrong but as expected I got no points awarded on the purchase from either Kmart or Speedway.
eBay cards were still available at my local Sears Hometown Store but these are probably limited to rural areas such as my own.
It's only a matter of time until people who have been doing the Sears-Plink-Discover-Land's End-Walmart-Ebay-Kroger-Bluebird churn start complaining about greedy bloggers ruining deals for everyone.
That is alot of work and time . Also, Sears and Kmart only accepts cash for any gift card, even a $10 Subway.
My head hurts…and this advertising/enter answer in box below is super tacky.
Fasten your seat belts. Some crazy person is going to try this.
Going to try this?? I've been doing a version of this for a long time. Also be careful of the Ebay GCs you can only do 5k in Ebay GCs per acct every 6mos. Ran into that pretty quickly and was quite shocked. Had to sit on the rest of my GCs until the time reset in 6mos.
Love the blog. But Ii also hate the ad captch. Fine with generic captchas, but I hate needing to type in "buy a (insert specific car brand here)" just to leave a comment.
You're right; that was fun to think about! It reminds me of the AORs on Fatwallet a few years ago. "Oh the possibilities!"
Nice analysis. Though wouldn't buying ebay cards (or anything) with a points earning card rather then a visa gc be a better idea?
Also, at Sears do you have to interact with the cashier to use a GC, or do you simply swipe the sears GC like a credit card and the system handles it? I know you've had success with this, and though I haven't personally tried it I get the impression its cashier dependent (is there a store that "officially" lets you buy a gc with a gc? I think not). Furthermore, I would suspect large gc transactions require manager intervention. What has been your experience in large volume transactions at Sears?
@MileageUpdate – where did you run into that ebay gc limit? do you mean Ebay imposes that limit, or Krogers?
At my local Ralph's and Von's grocery stores, I have been unable to buy eBay gift cards. When the cashier tries to activate the cards, the gift card receipt says not activated. I am not sure if it is due to a bad batch of eBay gift cards or if the eBay gift card activation server is down. I tried buying the gift cards on 2 separate days but I didn't work, which makes it seem like its a gift card problem.
To 2nd what Grant is saying. Pay attention to your activation receipt. Sometimes an ebay GC will be rung up but it will not activate. Also remember 5k per ebay acct in ebay GCs every 6mos is their limit. and also u gotta lose the advertising Captcha. makes you want to not comment IMO
Jonathan. I ran into the limit with ebay/papypal. even though they are ebay gcs it goes thru paypal. Thats who informed me of the 5k every 6mos limit.
I like it for novelty value, but lets drill down – what you have here is a way to earn 10.80% Profit – what we haven't clarified in the above is how long the entire cycle takes, and how much larger it could scale, as 10K is pretty hefty when dealing with small gift cards.
Also, if you are planning to 'wash' through the money in time to use it to pay off the initial 10K that means you need to liquidate within a billing cycle, which might be a stretch – if you could do so that fast then we are looking at 10% per month which is pretty snazzy.
My real concern though is the risk aspect that occurs at each stage that is disproportionate to profit. For example: it only takes one of those $500 eBay cards to be fraudulent to cut your profit by 50%, plus if it happens to be the first card you attempt to buy on you will be trapped with the dilemma of chasing your profit, after just being burned…
I do appreciate the ingenuity, but think the more steps that link together in the alchemy, the more chance for something to go awry, and as such the risk/reward equation needs to be readdressed at each cycle through.
Slow news day, eh?
BTW: Ads in a captcha? Really? Why not just toss in a bunch of pop-up windows with ads to get-rich-quick sites and porn?
Stay classy, FM.
Sorry about the CAPTCHA ads! Boarding Area is trying to fix it. It wasn't intentional.
Have never seen the word alchemy used in a travel blog EVER! Congrats…..
Not something I would do (too many steps) but subscribing because I love the comments
Dealing with Kroner, Sears and Walmart employees?? Bad enough with just 1 place but 3? That's my deal breaker I hope someone tries this!
Interesting in theory.
I went to 7 kroger in the houston area and walked away with 1 25 buck ebay card. They used to be listed on kroger online and have been removed from there. I think ebay and 4x fuel points is done.
Not sure why everyone is giving you grief about the ads in the captcha. Certainly not the first time I've seen it and I don't expect it to be the last. In my opinion it's pretty clever.
Though having captchas in general is annoying since it doesn't seem like boardingarea gets much spam to begin with.
Back to the post, does discover reward cash back if you use a different card? I thought I read before that people said they got denied for not using a discover card. I imagine it'd be easy for discover to track down proper and improper cash back usage.
CAPTCHA: I was previously spending about an hour a day deleting spam comments so I asked Boarding Area if there was something that could be done about it. They proposed the captcha idea and I agreed. Since then I haven't received any spam at all. However, if it proves to be too onerous for commenters, we'll look for a different solution.
Shop Discover: I've successfully bought Sears' gift cards through there a couple of times in the past and paid with non Discover credit cards yet still received cash back. With only a couple of tries, I can't say how reliable the technique is.
EBay gift cards: I added that whole section just for fun. Anyone in their right mind would stop once they get the $100 Visa gift cards from Sears. Liquidate those gift cards and repeat. And, even that is near impossible since the secret gift card rack at Sears almost always seems to be fresh out of $100 Visa gcs.
The shopdiscover site indicates that gift cards are excluded from the Sears 10% cash back. So far, has the 10% cashback bonus been reliable for gift cards?
I can't find ebay gift cards at my Randall's or Kroger in the Houston area any more. Anyone else seen them? I don't buy them at HEB since HEB doesn't post as a grocery store with AMEX.
Love today's title. Shows the glimmer in the eye, while at the same time hinting at the futility of making the big sustained kill in "cash-backing". Keep showing us that optimistic glimmer. Thanks!
Great read, even if real world execution would be virtually impossible. I enjoy your outside-the-box thinking FM, it is head and shoulders above your competition.
To the readers complaining about the CAPTCHA… find something worthwhile to complain about. People in the world wake up wondering if they're going to eat and you have an issue because the blog you read to find tricks to earn virtuallyvFREE premium travel made you type in some advertisement? I assume you read FM because you enjoy the content. Why not help the guy make a buck?
I've bought a lot of Visa GC at Kroger & they do NOT give you fuel points.
Kroger details their policy about fuel points for gift cards here: http://www.kroger.com/fuel/pages/a1.aspx
Specifically, they say:
Yes. Gift Card purchases count 2X toward your fuel points monthly balance, with the exception of Kroger and Kroger Family of Stores Gift Cards, Green Dot prepaid reloadable products, MoneyPaks, American Express Variable Load Gift Cards, Visa Variable Load Gift Cards, and MasterCard Variable Load Gift Cards.
There is a $5000/6 month rolling period for ebay gift card purchases. Also, if you are unlucky and haven't made a lot of purchases with ebay gift cards, they may freeze your account until you can prove that you made the ebay gift card purchase legitmately. That is you used your credit card to purchase the ebay gift card. They did it to me and my wife's account when I discovered this trick and purchased a lot of $500 walmart gift cards on ebay. I had to upload a lot of documents along with my reciept for the ebay gift cards from Frys, along with my credit card statement to show the credit card I bought the gift cards belonged to me. They wouldn't unfreeze my account at first because they thought I used an AMEX prepaid gift card. I had to explain that it was my AMEX blue preferred credit card. They wouldn't have unfrozen it otherwise, or given me my money for the unused ebay gift card. They haven't asked me for any reciepts though after the first initial freezing that they did to both my account and my wife's account. Just a little warning that if you don't use ebay gift cards regularly, and you make some big purchases with ebay gift cards they may ask you to prove that you bought the gift cards through legal means, and paying with a prepaid gift card won't satisify them, you will have to link that prepaid card to the kmart reciepts, to the gift cards, that will have to be shown to have been bought with your credit card…Just a little heads up because I did do this for awhile minus the kmart gift cards. Does anyone know of a cashback portal that will give cashback on visa gift cards from walmart purchased with a walmart gift card? This can add some more profit to the above strategy if there is a portal. Thanks!
This might be great for someone who has nothing to do, but…………..why not go to CVS for VRs and load to BB
Seems lots easier to me
I do suspect there is some tongue in cheek here, right ??
My KMart did indeed take Sears gift cards in payment for BP gift cards. The cashier swiped them on her register. And my local Kroger gave me fuel points on a $500 variable load visa gift card. So the moral is again- your experience may vary.
No one has mentioned that there are large denomination of gift cards on ebay (like walmart), that are purchased with stolen credit cards. So by the time you get the card, the fraud department of the stolen credit card has reversed the charge, and the merchant has cancelled the credit card. Additionally, any card that takes weeks and weeks to get is most likely one of these.
And yes, I speak from experience. Just be careful buying those big cards!
Phil, I buy at Kroger all the time and they absolutely give fuel pts for varaiable GC purchases. As always YMMV but Ive been to Krogers at multiple states and all have earned fuel pts.
Marc, I agree with your caution. I'd say 50% of all my WMT GC purchases ended up as a scam of some sort and I bought a lot of cards. Maybe 25k-30k in a 2 month period. You are protected by Ebay Buyers Protection but its a huge hassle. I was buying them when you got credit for EBay purchases thru MyPoints and then turn them into United Miles.
When you say "no one has mentioned.."
"My real concern though is the risk aspect that occurs at each stage that is disproportionate to profit. For example: it only takes one of those $500 eBay cards to be fraudulent to…"
now must enter that AMEX has Superior Service via Captca, and I kinda start to believe it is true with each comment I make!
I think eBay is the weakest link in this chain. To find all those Walmart gift cards is going to be challenging. But it does give ideas for people who want to think outside of the box, which is the point of the discussion – to teach you how to fish rather than giving you fish.
Alchemy certainly looks like hard work, but I thought it was worth a try to consume 1 or 2 Discover HIGC's loaded with $500 each that I have "left over" in my wallet… from you know what (over recent weeks.)
But I found I was unable to register a HIGC with Plink site as it asks for a password to a banking website where I "manage" this card. Since you don't "manage" a HIGC, how can I register it with Plink?
If you can help me with this—it's watch out local Sears stores – I'm heading over to raid your GC rack!
Ken: Unfortunately, I don't think there is any way to earn Plink rewards when paying with HIGC
Can I please hire someone to do all this for me? Yes, I am fat and lazy. I only have enough energy to READ about doing this, and that supply is nearly exhausted
Discover can claw back reward points if you don't use the their card. I am now sitting with minus $160 in my account because I had already redeemed the points, so they put me in the hole when they did a manual review and "Discovered" I didn't use their card.
I was just going to let the card die, but decided I can get the money back with a couple of $75 Disc bonus qtrs, VR at gas station and then online via AP. So that will get me back to even and can go back to using ShopDiscover, but only when using the DC if I want to be sure. I had received tons of ShopDisc earlier without using card so I am not saying this happens every time.
[…] "Easy" and "Frequent Miler" don't tend to go together in the same sentence. I tend to gravitate to the complicated stuff. After all, why write about a simple deal that takes two sentences to explain when I can, instead, write about a complex 8 part scheme that requires a lot of risk and effort for moderate rewards and will most likely no longer work a week later (like this one)?

The New York Times bestselling author heralds the future of business in Free.
In his revolutionary bestseller, The Long Tail, Chris Anderson demonstrated how the online marketplace creates niche markets, allowing products and consumers to connect in a way that has never been possible before. Now, in Free, he makes the compelling case that in many instances businesses can profit more from giving things away than they can by charging for them. Far more than a promotional gimmick, Free is a business strategy that may well be essential to a company``s survival.

So it's not for kicks that he has taken time off from his (excellent) presidential campaign coverage or his other adventures and spent his "free time" these past weeks getting certified as a scuba diver. The South Africa caper will entail diving with "this guy who believes sharks are misunderstood, and so he dives with great whites. He doesn't use a cage. He actually swims with them." He smiles. "I've opted to use a cage." Good, use the cage! "We have a special mask that allows you to talk underwater, so I'll have a microphone in the mask. And we'll have a biologist with me in the cage, whom I'll be interviewing while underwater with the sharks."
He admits in the car, however, "I don't like diving and I don't like sharks. I don't like fish darting out. I don't like things that move in ways I can't predict." Pause. "So why am I diving with great white sharks?" He laughs. "I can't really tell you why I agreed to do this."
Sure he can. It's So Anderson to go do something crazy that, say, Brian Williams might not. "I don't like there being anything that I'm intimidated to do. I feel you should just jump headfirst into things."
"Hey," he says to the driver. "Do you know where we're going? JFK?" Cooper travels so much, it's hard to keep track.
Between us on the backseat is his beat-up, brown backpack. But this is nothing compared to his suitcasea hideous, ripped, frayed black thing on rollers that looks like it came from Overstock.com. "I think I got it 10 years ago at one of those charity silent auctions." It's a piece of crap.
"I know. My cameramen were making fun of it the other day too. But it's been around the world and it's still going."
Inside the crappy suitcase, he's packed two pairs of jeans, six T-shirts, a wet suit, and fins.
You have fins in your suitcase?
"I do, actually."
The only sign of decadence I can discern is the Rolex on his wrist. "That's, I guess, the fanciest thing I have."
It's good you have something nice.
"Yeah, that was my bigthe biggest item I ever purchased, actually. Well, other than my apartment."
Of course he isn't living in that apartment; he's been living in a "small one bedroom apartment for two years that has virtually nothing in it," while his nice, expensive apartment is being renovated.
"But it's got a bed and it's got a television and it's got a sofa, and it's got some books that I collected over the years.... So yeah, I've just been camping out. Which is fine. I've done that a lot. When I first moved to Los Angeles, I lived for a year in a place with nothing but a mattress and a bowl and a spoon, so I could eat cereal in the morning. That was a little bleak."
And wasn't there some weird diet you did for a while?
"Well, yeah, food is just not that important to me. I tend to eat the same thing over and over again." Like? "Sushi's my latest thing. This'll run its course after a couple weeks, and then I'll switch to something else." For a while, he says, "I rediscovered scrambled egg whites. So I was eating a lot of scrambled egg whites."
Do you have any vices?
"Um, yeah, I'm sure I do. But none I would want to talk to you about." He laughs.

©2013 Green Building Advisor. From The Taunton Press, Inc., publisher of Fine Homebuilding Magazine.
Builder Hammer & Hand, based in Portland, Oregon, has developed a design and production strategy for exterior doors that conform to the Passivhaus performance standard.
H&H's march to the forefront of Passivhaus door making [8] in the U.S. is driven by a few factors, including the growing adoption of the standard here and the fact that windows and exterior doors for many domestic Passivhaus projects typically are imported, at relatively high cost, from Europe. The materials for H&H's Passivhaus door – including Forest Stewardship Council(FSC) Nonprofit organization that promotes forestry practices that are sustainable from environmental and social standpoints; FSC certification on a wood product is an indicator that the wood came from a well-managed forest.-certified clear vertical-grain Douglas fir, with a polyisocyanurate insulation core – are locally sourced, eliminating the expense and environmental cost of shipping from Europe.
H&H's workshop manager, Dan Palmer, ledLight-emitting diode. Illumination technology that produces light by running electrical current through a semiconductor diode. LED lamps are much longer lasting and much more energy efficient than incandescent lamps; unlike fluorescent lamps, LED lamps do not contain mercury and can be readily dimmed. production of a prototype door that recently was installed on an H&H project called Karuna House [9], which is itself a prototype project in that it is designed to meet three stringent green building standards: Passivhaus, LEED for HomesLeadership in Energy and Environmental Design. LEED for Homes is the residential green building program from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). While this program is primarily designed for and applicable to new home projects, major gut rehabs can qualify. Platinum, and Minergie-P-ECO. The project's Minergie-P-ECO certification, in fact, is nearing completion.
The Karuna House client and H&H are treating the project, begun in November 2011, as an extended case study for buildings that aim for two or more green certifications. So far, the Karuna design-and-build team has had to develop several work-arounds to accommodate materials requirements and/or prohibitions imposed by the certification programs. But the project still appears to be on track for all three. The development of the Passivhaus door adds an entrepreneurial dimension the Karuna experiment.

J.S. Benson: Passivhaus Doors [18]
In a video about the door [19], Palmer notes that European homes, including Passivhaus projects, typically use overlay doors, while homes in the U.S. usually feature inset doors. The H&H prototype, at 4 in. thick, conforms to the latter style, and is designed for a double-rabbet frame, with two layers of weatherstripping. The door is equipped with a four-point lock system featuring European-manufactured multipoint locks.
H&H building energy analyst Skylar Swinford noted in an e-mail that the thermal resistance of the prototype door is about R-11, installed. The company also is working on another prototype that would feature Dow Corning vacuum insulated panels as an alternative to the polyisocyanurate, increasing the R-valueMeasure of resistance to heat flow; the higher the R-value, the lower the heat loss. The inverse of U-factor. at the center of the door to R-80 and the door assembly's overall R-value to R-16. In addition, H&H will develop other options for the door frames – using over-insulated frames and low-conductivity thresholds, for example – to further boost the overall performance.
Swinford adds that prices for the door start at $4,000 plus freight.

Keep calm, carry onApril 19,2013We oughtnt pray for what weve never known
Unbroken peace
Unmixed blessing
Better to pray for. . .
The will to see and touch
The power to do good and make new.
-- Rabbi Stanley F. Chyet
In 2000, Stuart Manley, a bookseller from Northumberland, England, was rummaging through boxes of materials that had been shipped to his store. There was nothing remarkable in the loot except for a quirky poster with an image of the British Crown and the words Keep Calm and Carry On.
Manley had never heard the phrase before, but found it sufficiently entertaining to display it on the walls of his store, Barter Books in Alnwick. He later learned that the poster came from a World War II propaganda campaign designed by Winston Churchills war cabinet in 1939 to bolster public spirits while families were being separated, with men going off to war and children being sent to safer locations in the countryside. A million copies were printed but never distributed.
Some local residents took notice of the poster on Manleys wall and asked for copies. That led to a small story in a British magazine in 2005. Then, as Manley once put it, all hell broke loose. The poster became a timeless icon of British resilience and the capacity to bounce back with a stiff upper lip and a good cup of tea.
But the lesson of Keep Calm and Carry On isnt that inspiring slogans can really alter the public mood in times of pain. Rather, the story of Manleys poster reminds us that the desire to persevere whether against an existential threat, a lone criminal, or something in between isnt created by a slogan. Keep Calm and Carry On never guided anyones response to World War II. The posters werent displayed. And yet the British kept calm and carried on.
There has been a lot of focus on resiliency in Boston these last few days, but less on what it actually means. True resilience is a function of competence, not psychology, and the ability to learn from the past.
Years of planning went into the response to Mondays Boston Marathon bombings, bolstering the citys capacity to bounce back.
Immediately after the bombings, runners who could see the finish line were diverted to Commonwealth Avenue, sparing Boylston Street from more confused crowds and greater panic. That quick move helped to preserve a massive crime scene; otherwise, explosive materials and other crucial evidence could have been stuck in a runners shoe. Then authorities immediately put out a request for home video or any other source of clues.
Those actions by authorities were the product of a constant process of learning from horrors in the past. The lessons learned from the terrorist attacks on 9/11 prompted the quick reactions of first responders in Boston. The skills that soldiers mastered in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan created competencies that saved lives, and limbs, at the bomb site. The plea for public participation came from a government that has learned that an insular national security apparatus is limited in its capacities.
A resilient society is one that will absorb what it can from this week, and emerge wiser, if still wounded. So many Bostonians have lost so much. And in their honor we should not simply wish for a return to the relative peace of April 14. We should embrace the lessons of this week, study them, regroup, and adapt, in order to create a new baseline that then becomes the starting point for whatever might, one day again, happen to us. And that whole process will repeat itself, if it must.
Resiliency is not a sprint. It is a marathon.

Video: Penguins' Cooke gets away with a high stick
May 19, 2013, 11:20 PM EST
Pittsburgh Penguins' forward Matt Cooke went to knock a puck out of the air, however he seemed to clip Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson with his stick, instead.
The incident occurred just past the midway point of the third period in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal.
Cooke escaped without a penalty. An interesting non-call, given Karlsson was called for diving in the second period.This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!

Can someone, who has plenty of experience with different branded carbon rims, explain the differences in brake tracks? What is preferred? What should be avoided?
There are so many carbon rim choices out there today and it seems to me besides the 2 big factors (cost, weight) the factor that really influences "ridability" is the brake track. If its rough and/or causes pulsing, the rim will not be any fun to ride.
Starting towards the "top" carbon rim/wheel, what's the Zipp rim brake track?
Going to the bottom, what are the non-branded Chinese/Tiwan rim brake tracks?
And I assume there is probably something in between these 2 extremes?
Thanks in advance.

An al-Qaeda suspect has been recaptured after shooting two guards and briefly escaping from his hospital room in the Yemeni capital Sanaa.
The failed escape comes three days after authorities announced they had arrested 11 alleged al-Qaeda members in raids across the capital.
Pictures broadcast by Al Jazeera on Sunday showed smoke billowing from a room high up in the hospital block after police used tear gas to subdue the prisoner.
It is not yet known how many people had been injured in the clash, but reports say that the detainee killed an intelligence agent guarding his room after snatching the guard's gun.
Mohammed al-Qadhi, a correspondent working in Sanaa for the Emirati The National newspaper, told Al Jazeera that witnesses had later seen the man surrendering after a gun battle with police.
"There was exchanges of fire between him and the police of the hospital which continued, according to eye witnesses, for almost half an hour," he said.
"Police managed to storm the room where he was by firing tear gas, and the room was seen to be burning.
"Witnesses told me they saw the gunman raising his hands and surrendering but whether he was killed or injured they don't know. The authorities are not telling us."
An unnamed hospital source told the Reuters news agency that the man took a gun from one of two guards in his room where he was being treated and opened fire, wounding both, before trying to make his way downstairs, where more fighters opened fire at the entrance before escaping.
Al Arabiya television reported that the two guards were killed.
Yemen has become a major security concern for Western nations and Arab neighbours Saudi Arabia, who fear al-Qaeda are using the country's instability to recruit and train fighters.
As well as tackling secessionist sentiment in the South and fighting al-Qaeda, the government is also trying to bring an end to a Shia rebellion in the North.

Wiz would rather give him Blanche's.
I wonder if any of the actors who were in "The
Wizard of Oz" are still living. I know the four main
characters are gone now.
Two of the original Munchkins are still alive. Margaret Pellegrini is 89 and Ruth Duccini is 94.
The Wiz didn't give anything to the Tin Man … that he didn't already have …'
(And wasn't covered for.)
Spot On Bruno! It would seem that the Wiz is just another cog in the bureaucratic machine. Not at all what I took him to be.
I LOVE the song you're paraphrasing!!!
The system works in Britain and other places, why wouldn't it work in the U.S.? I know where I would rather get sick.
Two of the Munchkins lived in Princeton NJ as did Margaret Hamilton. (She lived with her sister. It's close to NYC where she was doing commercials) Shortly after seeing The Wizard of Oz for the first time (age seven) my mother and I ran into Margaret Hamilton at the grocery store. Yikes!!!!
Yeah, we've supposed got the best healthcare that money can buy,
If you have the money, you can buy it.
Thanks Obama!
Although I agree that O care is not the best plan, it is very hard for me to believe that the richest country in the world can not afford health care for it's citizens, when much poorer countries can. This is about the people that control the corporations not wanting to pay the taxes that their peers do in other countries and about an out of control military/industrial complex. We hand out billions to many different countries, we act as the world's police(only when it is in the corpacrats best interest, and we just toss away the old and sick. What is wrong here?
Sadly the Tin Man suit(along with the Wicked Witch costume)
has been lost in the shuffle..This months Smithsonian magazine said they do have the hat though as well as one set
of Dorothy's Ruby Slippers.They also have the head of the
Cowardly Lion..Many items were auctioned off by MGM
in 1970..
LOL what Fox news flunky are you quoting?
You are so correct, We have Obama care now because its the only thing the Republican (Rich man's support party) would pass. If they didn't want this they would have blocked it like they block most everything else.
That "Death Care" is the same Corporate care silly boy. Just slightly modified to use govt funds to keep more people alive. Even the likes of you.

Employee Giving
Posted By alz02 On August 18, 2010 @ 3:48 am In | No Comments
Employee Giving
One of the easiest ways to increase your gift to The Fisher Center Foundation is through your employer's Matching Gift program. Thousands of companies, including corporations, foundations, not-for-profit organizations, and associations, match their employees' charitable contributions—sometimes for as much as double the amount of the initial gift.
Companies have various methods for matching gift request submissions: online forms, automated phone systems, or a paper form that you submit to The Fisher Center Foundation. Many companies will match personal gifts, such as cash, stocks, marketable securities, and the value of your volunteer time. Companies may also match gifts from employee spouses, retirees, and board members.
Here's how to take part:
1. Contact your employer's Human Resources office to determine if your company matches employee donations. If your company does not currently match employee donations, you might suggest they consider doing so.
2. Obtain a Matching Gift form and review the program guidelines to ensure that The Fisher Center Foundation is eligible to receive matching gifts. Conditions and criteria for gift matching vary by employer.
3. Complete the donor section of the form and submit it, along with your check or credit card authorization, to:
Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation
110 East 42nd Street, 16th Floor
New York, NY 10017

Hoyas stun Big East, win conference crown
• Complete results | Twitter: @collegegolf | Facebook: Lance Ringler's College Golf Page
Podcast episode
The Lance & Asher Show
The Lance & Asher Show (Ep. 2.19)
Special guest Vincenzo Salina, a senior at Georgetown, joins Ringler and Wildman to discuss conference championship madness.
Georgetown senior Vincenzo Salina made an 8-foot par putt on the 18th hole Tuesday at Innisbrook Resort to lead the Hoyas to a one-shot victory at the Big East Championship.
Georgetown, No. 211 in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, last won the conference title in 1998.
"For a little program like ours, we were the 11th seed of our tournament, it's just unbelievable," said Georgetown coach Tommy Hunter, who is in his 25th year with the program.
A day after shooting 2-over 286 – the Hoyas' best round in more than two years – Georgetown closed with a 293 at the Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, Fla., to finish at 21-over 873. No. 84 Notre Dame (286) was second at 874 and No. 80 Louisville (289) was third at 876.
It was the second conference title in program history and first conference crown in any sport for Georgetown since the men's cross country team won the league title in 2008.
The victory was even sweeter for Salina, who made a 25-birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff to win the individual title. Salina had finished in a four-way tie for first at 2-over 215 with St. John's Evan Beirne, and Norte Dame's Max Scodro and Tom Usher.
Andreas Huber was last Hoya to win the Big East individual title (1998).
"I think that it's a lot harder now to do what we did," Hunter said. "When we won it in 1998, the conference was just beginning to get strong. The way it is now, it's so hard to win."
Prior to capturing the Big East Championship, Georgetown's sixth-place finish at the John Dallio Memorial in September was the team's best result of the 2009-10 season.

AMD has been targeting mainstream computing for a while now.
Its combination of good performance for affordable price has seen it claw back into the graphics market with its most recent generation of cards, and now it looks positioned to do the same with the CPU side of the business. While it doesn't intend to challenge Intel's top performing Core i7 CPUs for now, AMD's latest, the Phenom X4 955 Black Edition (BE), launches a broadside across the bow of Intel's mainstream quad-core processors — in particular the Core 2 Q9550.

Based on AMD's AM3 socket, the 955 is a quad-core, 45nm process CPU running at 3.2GHz, as a result of a 16x multiplier on top of a 200MHz bus. It has 6MB shared L3 cache, along with 64+64KB data + instruction L1 and 512KB L2 cache per core. Being a flagship chip, it's quite a power sucker, at 125W TDP. Being a Black Edition chip, it's also multiplier unlocked — and this combined with the split plane voltage introduced on AM2+ should mean some fairly decent DIY speed increases.
Moving to 938-pin AM3 means a few things; firstly DDR3 support, and secondly the 128-bit integrated memory controller has had its Hypertransport link bumped from 1.8GHz on AM2+ to a healthy 2.0GHz. The processor should be backwards compatible with AM2+ boards, but be warned you'll only be able to use DDR2 on these, and your vendor will need to have released a BIOS update to support the CPU.
Test configuration
We've compared the Phenom II X4 955 BE against its price match competitor from the Intel camp — the Core 2 Q9550. Let's take a closer look at the CPUs on test.

Toriko will not only match the Z, I think they will surpass it within half a decade. The progression rate is exponentially fast. The only exceptions being the strongest movie villains like Broly, Janemba, Hirudegarn and if course Birusu. I don't know if the Toriko cast will ever make those levels. But mainstream Z I can see it.
I doubt that, if that does happen i see toriko becoming a dbz ripoff..
Still, nappa speedblitzes toriko.

A remarkable survivor. The Great Barn at Basing Grange was built in 1535, shortly before a visit by Henry VIII. It was mainly used for storing hundreds of sheaves of corn and barley harvested from the Paulet's vast estate.
It is one of the largest examples of its kind in England and is the only Tudor building at Basing House to have survived intact to the present day. This is all the more remarkable since it was the at the centre of a famous attack by the Parliamentary army in 1643, an event which gave the barn its local nickname of "The Bloody Barn".
You can now experience what it would have been like to have been trapped in the barn while it was under attack in a hair-raising sound & light show inside the barn.
No stately home would be without its formal garden, as a place for relaxation and entertainment but also a source of plants used in medicine.
The walled garden reflects the final phase of Basing as a great house in the Jacobean period, 1600-1625. Sadly no contemporary illustration or description survives so a distinguished panel of garden historians have designed this garden following the design principles of the day and based on the Paulet family's heraldic devices and their motto 'Aymes Loyaulte' ('Love Loyalty.')
On the following dates the Great Barn and entrance area have been privately hired, so visitors will be unable to access these areas. On these dates we are offering 20% off entry to the ruins side of the site from 11am – 4pm (last entry 3pm).

text: This time it took extra frames to do it. But the Red Sox put down the Yankees 3-2 at Fenway to take back the lead in the AL East. This victory makes the Sox 10-2 overall against their bitter rivals in the season so far. All I can say is hell yeah!! I was pretty nervous us being down 2-1 to the Yanks in the 9th with Rivera coming to the mound. But these Sox are a different team this year as we touched up the usually untouchable closer for the run we needed to keep this thing going. And Josh Reddick getting the walkoff hit? What a story this kid has been. It explains a lot why the Sox didn't go harder after a RF like Beltran with the way Reddick has been playing! Love watching this team play, and I have a feeling we're in for a deep postseason run. First goal though is taking the division title! Let's go Sox!
