Target: Price Matching Online Prices (11/1-12/16)
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Tuesday, October 16th, 2012 at 8:48 pm.
WooHoo! I just wanted to give you a heads up on this BIG news! Target recently announced that they will be honoring online prices this holiday season, including Amazon.com (Amazon Marketplace not included), Walmart.com, BestBuy.com, Toysrus.com and Babiesrus.com between November 1st and December 16th. To price match, just bring up the online price for the item you're purchasing on your smartphone (or customer service can look it up to confirm). Sweet!
Additionally, from 11/1 through 12/24, Target will price adjust for an item purchased in-store if it is found to be cheaper on Target.com. That's not all! Target will also be offering up FREE Wi-Fi in-stores this holiday season to make it easy for you to use their mobile app, redeem mobile coupons, and scan QR codes! This will definitely make for some easier holiday shopping, as you will be able to get more items in the same place and also save on gas! Love that! :D
*Go here to read the full article.
(Thanks, Pam and Clip and Follow!)

I wish Walmart would do this :/
I agree, but walmart is to cheap! and where i live i don't have a target
I'm excited! Thank you Collin… you're awesome.
Finally free wifi in Targets!
Does this include Black Friday sales/prices??
nice! Plus 5% off if I use my Target Card
Just started looking into the debit red card. In your opinion, is it really worth it?
We buy our groceries there so it's totally worth it. It's off everything except prescriptions.
Plus if you have a red card you can get an extra 5% off with every 5 prescriptions !!
I think it's worth it! It basically pays for the tax with the 5% off.
Not only do you get the 5% off but you get free shipping on everything on the website. I love my red card. It comes right out of my checking account just like my bank debit card.
Target's debit card program comes out of your existing checking account. All you need is a blank check and apply in store to get it started. During the application process, you will need to choose a 4 digit p.i.n. (personal identification number) and you can choose the p.i.n. to be whatever you like it to be. I had a debit card through my bank, so I chose the p.i.n. to be the same p.i.n. as my bank's debit card, so this way I didn't have to remember a second set of numbers. If you qualify, you immediately receive a temporary printout that can be used immediately and until you get the permanent card sent in the mail. You will need the p.i.n. along with your ID until you receive the card in the mail. The Target debit card is ONLY good at Target brick and mortar stores as well as Target.com and you must use your pin in order to use it, but it saves you 5% on every purchase in store, online and gets you free shipping on anything online as well. When you enroll in Pharmacy Rewards and fill five eligible prescriptions at Target Pharmacy, you'll earn a certificate for 5% off* a day of Target shopping. Stack this with your everyday 5% REDcard discount for ultimate savings (this is straight off their website).
The red card is definitely worth it…it doesn't cost you a dime to get it, they don't check your credit or anything like that. It is directly linked to your checking account, so it is just like using your debit card only you save 5% off EVERYTHING instantly! It doesn't matter what the item is, you get 5% off. Why not do it? We have saved almost $200 just this year alone for buying items we normally buy (like cereal, toilet paper, etc.) Definitely do it if you like to save money! :)
Thank you all! I think I will go for it.
This would be great if the closest Target wasn't 1 hour away. :( Walmart is 5 mins, toys r us is 45 minutes and bestbuy is an hour.
I feel ur pain
Me too, but Walmart is becoming such a pain I hate going there. Last week they had changed their price match policy again. They price match milk, but not bread, they don't price match produce anymore..it seems every week they're changing the price match policy so you never know what they actually will price match when you get to the register, even with the ads in hand. Walmart's just not worth it anymore.
Susie is that per their price match policy (on the company's website) or is it just the cashiers saying that? I find that the cashiers are all on different pages than what the policy states.
How can u use the wifi for mobile coupons if u have an iPod touch. There would be no phone number to text the offers to. I would love to be able to do this.
I don't know if this works yet, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I have been getting the Target mobile coupons texts sent to my phone (not a smart phone) but haven't been able to use them. I noticed that there is a website listed at the bottom of each text, so I typed it into my laptop web browser. It ended up taking me to a page that listed each of the available mobile coupons along with a bar code at the top of the page for the cashier to scan. With the free Wi-fi at Target, I plan to take my husband's iPod Touch and type in the website listed at the bottom of one of the mobile coupons. Not sure if it will work, but it's worth a try!
I've done that for my tablet. I've had the text sent to my phone and then like you said typed the web link on my tablet to bring up the page with the code. Then at the register I had the cashier scan my tablet. One time they had to manually type in the bar code numbers but the other time it scanned just fine.
I just go to the website listed in the text, and print out the page w/ the bar code. Then have the cashier scan the bar code printed on the paper.
They should come up on the Target app which should work on your iTouch.
Ok, I am new to the target app (because of the free target wifi) I can't find the target mobile coupons on it? Any suggestions/comments on how to find them? I am using an Android tablet if that makes any difference! Thanks in advance!
So I just looked at my target app and it says update now so you can save w/mobile coupons. Update requires an update on my iPod and I am SO chicken to do that as before even though I thought I backed everything up, I lost a lot. Totally afraid to do it now.
There are apps I believe for free online phone numbers that require wifi to work, find one and use that for mobile coupons, you'll have wifi at the store to open them up :)
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I do have pinger text free but it does not work if the number isn't 10 digits which the mobile#for target isn't. I'll try searching for something though. Thanks again!!!
iPod touch has iMessage app. Both my girls use it to text me when wifi is available. Their iPods DO have phone numbers. No need for special app as it is built-in.
Not on the older iPods. :( thanks though
Just another reason to love Targets!
I am wondering the same thing. Does this mean they will do it with black friday prices?
Will this be done at the cash register, or will I have to purchase, and then take my receipt and smartphone o customer service?
Good question, Lana. I hope the former – waiting at customer service can be such a pain!
I know! But maybe they think waiting in a long customer service line will actually deter people from price matching. Such a diabolical plan. Mwahahahaha
Lol! I was thinking the same thing!
When Target had the guest service seperate from the checkout lanes it was 1 thing to wait but now that they've moved guest services right next to the checkout lanes-good luck. I worked there for 5 weeks as a guest service rep earlier this year and we were told if ANYONE came up with a purchase that we HAD to check them out. Many people got upset because they had a legitimate reason to be therein that line and had to wait for people just purchasing items.
I hold the item I'm price matching out of checkout and ten go to guest svc with it they can price match it immediately instead of giving you money back after the purchase.
Or hopefully lines made just for this, like returns after Christmas?
Will this include daily deals?
What if you don't have a smartphone? Can you bring in a printout of the price match?
Walmart won't even price match walmart.com prices. Go Target!
I also wonder if it will be good on Black Friday, or even one or two day sales. I'm guessing there will be a lot of exceptions.
I don't know about anyone else, but I've been having REAL issues with Target. I keep a data base of my coupons. When I use a good many coupons in one trip, they always short me. It looks like it's ringing up on the register, but doesn't show on the receipt. This happens all the time. I end up having to call, then go the customer service to straighten it out. Just wondering why their machines are doing that??? Thank goodness I keep track of them! And I'm starting to wonder how many customers they are shorting coupons?!
I've seen this and added it up later. The coupon does come out of the total. Don't know why it doesn't show on receipt.
Yeah, I've noticed this as well: it doesn't show up at all on the receipt, but if you add up your total, it's somehow in there.
I have had the same problems…their system accepts the coupons but they do not show up on the receipt. I was told it is because the coupon may be worth more than the product…but that isn't always the case. Seriously watch your coupons closely at Target!
this has happened to me too. sometimes i get so happy i have all these coupons i get overwhelmed and i forget some or the mobile ones and if i do give them all to them my calculations never come out right but i thinks its because they tax you on the original price not the reduced price but we need to keep our EYES on the register
Target in Northern California sucks rocks when it comes to couponers. They recently started giving couponers a hard time. Having a manager come up front whenever they see someone with a coupon packet or book. If they don't want our business then they should stop promoting their coupons and they recently changed their coupon policy too.
I'd complain to corporate. I don't think they'd be too happy to hear about it.
It's about time for the wifi, I can never use Shopkick in Target because I never get a cell signal in the store. It's also hard to get the online coupons up.
Great news! :)
Target should always do this. It's ridiculous that they don't, at least, honor target.com prices all the time. I bought a patio set at a Target store last summer, then found out it was TONS cheaper on target.com. So I went into the store and asked the Customer Service desk to adjust the price. After 20 minutes of back-and-forth, they wouldn't do it. They basically told me that if I wanted them to honor their own price, I would have to return the patio set in the store and re-order it online – terrible customer service. That patio set was super heavy and not fun to load in and out of a car 3 times. Needless to say, we returned it at the store and bought a new, better patio set at WalMart.
Anyone know if target has the wifi yet?
Target's WiFi is up but… their in-store, at customer service sign regarding holiday price matching states (in fine print) that target.com is excluded in the price matching!!!
MY RECENT ONLINE AD MATCH EXPERIENCE — I went into a local Target store a couple nights ago and did the online price match (Target.com) for the Star Wars Advent calendar. It's priced at $39.99 on the Target.com, but still priced at $49.99 in the Target store. Although it ended up taking longer to do at the checkout lane (they have special lanes for customer service/returns beside our regular checkout lanes), it was still worth the $10 price difference! Even though I printed out Target.com's page with the Star Wars Advent calendar, they still told me they had to look it up themselves to make sure. So, the manager (I think) pulled out what appeared to be an iPad and looked up the item on the Target.com website. Then he gave the cashier the "go ahead" to give me the $39.99 price! A little frustrating in the end, but glad I was able to get a cheaper price on the Star Wars Advent calendar because I did NOT want to have to pay this year's increased price of $49.99!
Just got told if it is out of stock in the store or online that i want to price match they won't do it. Wasn't sure if this was accurate. Doesn't make a lot of since to me since that is typically the reason to get a walmart deal at target. i was trying to get the monopoly millionaire for the online price of $9.89. They had it in stock when I printed the ad this morning and by the time I got to target walmart was sold out. I should have just got it online. Very frustrating.
Will Target price match Ace Hardware's ad?

It's not that catastrophic — they can still plaster double Gs on "non-medicated toilet preparations, cosmetic preparations, perfumes, soaps, dentifrices, preparations for the hair, antiperspirants [and] depilatory preparations," according to British Vogue. (Personally, we think Gucci deodorant would do very well on the market.)
All bathroom humor aside, this appears to be a rather intriguing David-and-Goliath story, at least in that a smaller house knocked a much larger one down a few pegs. Vogue reports that fashion brand Gerry Weber "applied for the motif to be repealed in June 2012 for a lack of use between 2003 and 2012," and even after Gucci produced sales figures from that period, the UK Intellectual Property Office determined those records inadequate proof of genuine use. The IPO then revoked Gucci's trademark in four categories, including bags, T-shirts and watches.
We can't even begin to picture the field day the people behind Ballin' and Célfie are having over this news — and, you know, every other UK clothing manufacturer who wants a piece of the interlocking-G pie — but man, we have to wonder if the Italian company's all shook up. All this goes to show is, as one commenter put it so eloquently, "even big guys can get shafted." If Gucci's fallible, then no one's safe.

3 June 2009
The UN humanitarian wing said on Tuesday it has allocated 6.45 million U.S. dollars to help190,000 people in the rural southern regions of Madagascar who are suffering from the combined effects of drought, cyclones and political instability. ¡¡¡¡The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said the money would be shared by the World Food Program (WFP), the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) for emergency work in the island nation.
22 May 2009
Communities in southern Madagascar have a wealth of experience in dealing with the unforgiving, arid conditions of their region, but not even their finely honed farming skills and knowledge passed down for generations can withstand the relentless drought. (..) Krystyna Bednarska, head of the UN World Food Programme (WFP) in Madagascar, acknowledged that the problem was escalating. "[The] most recent rapid assessment by WFP in April confirmed that 100 percent of 160 sampled households in 16 food insecure communes were 'severely food insecure'".
15 May 2009
In Tanandava, a small village in the arid south of Madagascar, the community's most valuable asset is kept behind two padlocks to which two people each have a key. (..) "[The] most recent rapid assessment by WFP in April confirmed that 100 percent of 160 sampled households in 16 food insecure communes were 'severely food insecure'," said Krystyna Bednarska, head of WFP in Madagascar.
23 April 2009
Madagascar is facing an evolving humanitarian crisis of proportions unprecedented in its history. The country was already facing an extremely worrisome drought in the south, to which has been added the effects of cyclones and tropical storms while also being hit with food insecurity caused by the ongoing civil unrest in the capital of Antananarivo and elsewhere. (...) CARE International, the World Food Program and other organisations are already responding with food for work activities as well as direct food assistance to nursing mothers and children under age two, but the need is outstripping supply of food and if other funding is not found soon, the consequences could be catastrophic.
7 April 2009
Aid agencies and Madagascar's disaster management authority, which has been paralyzed by months of political turmoil, are scrambling to asses the damage after tropical cyclone "Jade" struck on 6 April. [...] "We still have no data - assessments are still underway and the situation remains unclear," Dia Styvanley Soa, spokeswoman for Madagascar's disaster management authority (BNGRC), told IRIN. [...] Aid agencies were also awaiting further reports. "At the moment we don't have much information on the impact," Krystyna Bednarska, head of the World Food Programme in Madagascar, told IRIN. The harsh weather conditions have made it impossible for helicopters to be dispatched to affected areas.
7 April 2009
Despite international condemnation of a recent coup-style change of government, aid agencies have appealed for over US$35.7 million "to prevent the deterioration of the humanitarian situation", according to the 2009 Madagascar Flash Appeal for funds launched by the Madagascar Humanitarian Country Team on 7 April. [...] The appeal document estimated that the combined crises had increased the number of people needing humanitarian aid to an estimated 2.5 million, mainly in the urban centres, with an additional 880,000 in the drought-affected south needing assistance. Krystyna Bednarska, head of the UN World Food Programme (WFP) in Madagascar, said: "WFP's food resourcing shortfall to address immediate food needs in the drought-affected south and the urban centres is around USD13 million." Food insecurity in the south is expected to deteriorate even more, while the lack of rain is expected to delay the next harvest by three months, and reduce it to by up to 40 percent.
20 March 2009
Weeks of opposition protests and turmoil on the Indian Ocean island have killed more than 135 people, crippled tourism and left former President Marc Ravalomanana in the lurch. Using agency reports, Ben Ukwuoma writes on the dramatic victory for the young politician, Andry Rajoelina who was sacked as mayor of the capital only last month. (...) The crisis hit the cities hardest. "Loss of employment due to the political crisis threatens to push the vulnerable poor and lower-middle classes into destitution. For those who are already indigent, estimated at over 500,000 the current crisis has put even the most basic foodstuffs beyond their reach," Krystyna Bednarska, head of the UN World Food Programme (WFP), said.
10 March 2009
Ahead of a planned three-day National Consultative Conference to resolve Madagascar's deep political turmoil, the country's senior military commander warned on 10 March that the army will step in and impose order if a solution is not found within 72 hours. [...] As looting on the streets of Antananarivo continues and the security situation deteriorates, NGO's are preparing themselves for a potential humanitarian crisis. The United Nations World Food Programme has expanded food distribution operations in the country. "There is a greater demand for nutritional aid since the crisis began," Krystyna Bednarska, head of the WFP in Madagascar told IRIN. "The problems mean that people can't work. Many have lost their jobs and it is the most vulnerable people that are being affected."
19 February 2009
Representatives from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) have arrived in Madagascar to facilitate talks between the feuding president and opposition leader. In the capital, Antananarivo, anti-government protestors marched on ministries for a third day in an attempt to install a new government as heavily armed security forces kept them at bay. The demonstrations on Wednesday 18 February ended peacefully. [...] The political unrest has coincided with the country's annual cyclone season, which is also usually a time food of shortages in southern Madagascar. In the southwestern city of Toliara, looters have targeted food warehouses and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has had to enhance security at its depots throughout the country. WFP warned that the political situation was making it more difficult to operate.
5 January 2009
Resource-hungry nations are snapping up huge tracts of agricultural land in poor Asian nations, in what activists say is a "land grab" that will worsen poverty and malnutrition. Global trends including high prices for oil and commodities, the biofuel boom and now the sweeping downturn are spurring import-reliant countries to take action to protect their sources of food.

(MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS) - Bodyweight exercises can help you stay fit at home or when you are on vacation and have no equipment. I truly believe that bodyweight exercises are one of the best ways to workout, plus they have numerous benefits for a well-rounded program. Here are more of my favorite bodyweight exercises.
1. High Knees - This exercise is a typical running like move in which you lift your knees as high as you can. This exercise is excellent for working your core, thighs and lower back. Begin with feet flat on the floor. Lift your feet one at time bringing your knees as high up as possible. Perform the exercise for 20 to 60 seconds, start slow and add reps as you gain strength and stamina.
2. Stationary Lunges - Place one foot forward and the other back in a split wide stance. Lower your hips directly downward until your knee almost touches the ground, and return to the starting position. Do as many reps as possible then switch legs. Remember not to lean forward or allow your knee to go forward past your toes.
3. Staggered Push-Ups - In a typical push-up position, on your knees or toes, put your right hand forward about 6 to 8 inches while keeping your left hand directly under your left shoulder. Lower into the push-up, feeling the challenge more in the arm that is directly under your shoulder, allowing for increased strength development. Do as many reps as is comfortable and challenging, then switch hands repeating the exercise on the left side.
4. Wide Push-Ups - Get in your typical push-up position. Take your hands and widen them out as far as possible to where you still feel comfortable. Lower your body to the floor and then back up to the starting position. This exercise is a great way to really strengthen the pecs.
5. Plank Superman - Start in a basic plank position, with hips tucked, glutes contracted and back straight. While maintaining the plank, extend one arm out in front of you while at the same time raising the opposite leg off the floor. Return to the staring position and repeat the other side. Do as many reps as possible.
Keep challenging yourself and your body to get the results you desire.

Consumer Law
Protecting Consumers in Texas
Consumers are an often unprotected group requiring help from an attorney. The areas of Consumer law the Law Office of Robert B. Goss, P.C. handles are:
- Landlord-Tenant Issues
- Texas Property Law Issues
- Unfair Debt Collections
- Texas Employment Law Issues
- Deceptive Trade Practice Act (DTPA)
Please fill-out this questionnaire, if you wish to schedule an appointment with the Law Office of Robert B. Goss to pursue a claim on your behalf.
>> Consumer Dispute Questionnaire
Landlord-Tenant Issues
Landlord-tenant issues range from contract problems to refusal of the landlord to return a security deposit. Examples:
- Evictions.
- When a landlord refuses to return a security deposit, and you have not damaged the apartment or home you may have a legal right to recoup your security deposit.
- If a landlord mistakenly enters your apartment or home and removes your property without a Judicial Order you have a legal right for damages.
Workforce Commission
The Law Office of Robert B. Goss, P.C., represents workers who have been wrongly denied unemployment benefits.
Additionally the Firm represents employees who have been wrongly denied salary and other benefits from an employer.
Deceptive Trade Practice-Consumer Protection Act (DTPA)
The DTPA is designed to protect consumers from false, misleading, deceptive acts or practices of any trade or commerce. This Act provides consumers the ability to protect themselves from overreaching or misleading commerce or trade practices.
- An example of a DTPA claim may be when a landlord refuses to return a security deposit based on a claim the tenant, earlier in the year, "violated" the lease by allowing a friend to visit more than 7 days. Claiming the lease creates a right in the Texas Property Code for the landlord to keep the security deposit ten-and-one-half months later appears to be an attempt to mislead the tenant. The landlord in this example has attempted to mislead the tenant into thinking the lease created a right that does not exist. This is an example of a possible DTPA violation.

There was the 'yelling' incident during the Minnesota game & then Rodgers' comments after the 49ers game about giving up on the run too soon. It's very easy to start looking in dark corners to try and figure out why your favorite team lost & putting stock in any issues between McCarthy & Rodgers is just that. Was there & is there occasional frustration on Rodgers part with the play calling McCarthy is putting out there? I'm sure there is. I'm sure there's also frustration on McCarthy's part with Rodgers occasionally holding the ball too long or checking out of called plays. If anything, I see the more vociferous Rodgers a sign of the solid relationship McCarthy & him have from a sign of respect for each other & their respective abilities & roles. There's definitely things to be upset about the way this season ended & some worries looking forward but I'm pretty confident the relationship between Rodgers & McCarthy is not one of them.

The Darkest Evening of the Yearby Dean Koontz
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
With each of his #1 New York Times bestsellers, Dean Koontz has displayed an unparalleled ability to entertain and enlighten readers with novels that capture the essence of our times even as they bring us to the edge of our seats. Now he delivers a heart-gripping tour de force he's been waiting years to write, at once a love story, a thrilling adventure, and a masterwork of suspense that redefines the boundaries of primal fear — and of enduring devotion.
Amy Redwing has dedicated her life to the southern California organization she founded to rescue abandoned and endangered golden retrievers. Among dog lovers, she's a legend for the risks she'll take to save an animal from abuse. Among her friends, Amy's heedless devotion is often cause for concern. To widower Brian McCarthy, whose commitment she can't allow herself to return, Amy's behavior is far more puzzling and hides a shattering secret.
No one is surprised when Amy risks her life to save Nickie, nor when she takes the female golden into her home. The bond between Amy and Nickie is immediate and uncanny. Even her two other goldens, Fred and Ethel, recognize Nickie as special, a natural alpha. But the instant joy Nickie brings is shadowed by a series of eerie incidents. An ominous stranger. A mysterious home invasion.
And the unmistakable sense that someone is watching Amy's every move and that, whoever it is, he's not alone.
Someone has come back to turn Amy into the desperate, hunted creature she's always been there to save. But now there's no one to save Amy and those she loves. From its breathtaking opening scene to its shocking climax, The Darkest Evening of the Year is Dean Koontz at his finest, a transcendent thriller certain to have readers turning pages until dawn.
"Set mostly in Southern California, this topnotch thriller from bestseller Koontz (The Good Guy) depicts with unabashed emotion and wit the magical powers of golden retrievers — in particular, a female named Nickie, who will stop at nothing to save innocent children and protect their guardians. Amy Redwing, the survivor of a horrifying marriage, establishes Golden Heart to rescue golden retrievers, rehabilitate the abused ones and find 'forever homes.' A supernatural chain of events ensues after Amy and her architect boyfriend, Brian McCarthy, rescue Nickie during a violent intervention in a family dispute. Soon the pair are on a mission that leads to a transformative confrontation with a number of ugly characters — Gunther Schloss, a frustrated aspiring novelist turned killer-for-hire; Moonglow, a psychobitch in the Mommie Dearest league; and Moonglow's lover, Harrow, a self-obsessed sicko. This is the perfect book for thriller addicts who know the darkest hour is just before dawn and for canine lovers who remember 'dog' spelled backwards is 'god.'" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Dean Koontz loves dogs. For decades, dogs have played significant roles in his fiction, most notably in his 1987 novel 'Watchers.' They've also inspired a short, comic volume of canine wit and wisdom called 'Life Is Good: Lessons in Joyful Living.' Continuing this tradition, an unusual golden retriever named Nickie dominates Koontz's latest novel, 'The Darkest Evening of the Year.' The result is,... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) simply put, literary slobber. 'Darkest Evening' opens when Amy Redwing, founder of the rescue organization Golden Heart, and Brian McCarthy, her architect boyfriend, liberate Nickie from the dog's drunken, abusive owner. It soon becomes apparent that Nickie is no ordinary dog. Her presence sends Brian into an extended fugue state in which he draws her image repeatedly, attempting to capture the mysterious essence in her eyes. Amy finds something strangely familiar in Nickie, who seems to embody long-buried elements of her own history. The past, both Amy's and Brian's, quickly becomes an integral part of the narrative, threatening the fragile present. Amy's past includes early abandonment, a life divided between foster homes and a Catholic orphanage, a formative encounter with a golden retriever (also named Nickie) and a traumatic series of events that she keeps hidden from the world. Brian's past includes a disastrous relationship with Vanessa, a world-class sociopath with whom he fathered a child (named Hope) with Down syndrome. These disparate elements eventually connect, drawing Brian, Amy and the mysterious Nickie into a lethal confrontation with the darkest aspects of their collective past. Mostly, though, the story serves as a framework for Koontz's personal philosophy, a set of guiding principles that he forces on the reader with relentless, didactic persistence, in part by trashing a number of modern novelists whom he considers destructively cynical. He believes that animals, dogs in particular, are inherently noble, even sacred. He believes that life has a profoundly spiritual dimension and that we are surrounded at all times by Meaning, by complex patterns we often fail to perceive. Conversely, he believes that the greatest human error lies in refusing to acknowledge the existence of Meaning, and in yielding to belief in a chaotic, random universe. These are reasonable, even honorable, beliefs, but they never take on the quality of felt life, trapped as they are in a narrative that is at once ponderous, self-satisfied and dull. The problems, and there are many, begin with the characters. Amy and Brian are both saintly and fatally bland. The dialogue between them is annoying and overly arch, as in this early, unfortunately typical, exchange: '"I'd sure like to kiss you now," he said. '"As long as we don't generate enough heat to bring the global-warming police down on us, go ahead."' The villains, on the other hand, are monolithic embodiments of evil. Chief among them are Vanessa and her current lover, cartoonlike figures who are in love with death, aroused by pain and filled with a kind of motiveless malignity that is neither interesting nor convincing. The prose is a constant problem, too. Koontz is given to clumsy metaphors ('In the sky's distillery, the afternoon light was a weak brandy') and bizarre, unintentionally comic constructions ('Running horses on stone could have clopped no harder than his heart'). But Koontz's deepest, most besetting flaw is his compulsion to state the obvious, explaining every nuance. A quick example: After introducing a character who smuggles terrorists into the country and once castrated a pair of small-time marijuana dealers, Koontz tells us: 'She was a beautiful woman and hard and strong, but she was not a good person.' The cumulative effect is a predigested, deadening quality. By the novel's end, I found myself longing for some straightforward ambiguity. At the same time, Koontz is fundamentally intolerant of writers with worldviews different from, or darker than, his own. This time out, his primary whipping boy is Kurt Vonnegut, though Thomas Pynchon, James Joyce and Franz Kafka also come under fire. To Koontz, Vonnegut is emblematic of a breed of writers 'who sweetened their nihilism with giggles, the kind of guys who would be happy operating a weenie stand in Hell.' Lowering the tone even further, Koontz adds a subplot involving a killer-for-hire who goes by the names of such Vonnegut characters as Billy Pilgrim, Eliot Rosewater and Dwayne Hoover, and who celebrates his sense of emptiness by taking lives and spreading pain wherever he goes. As gratuitous literary insults go, this one is an Olympic contender. It is also silly, mean-spirited and ineffectual. At the end of the day, there is more life, more authentic humanity, in the kindly, considered pessimism of Kurt Vonnegut than in all the airless pages of this dreary, interminable book." Reviewed by Bill Sheehan, author of 'At the Foot of the Story Tree' and co-editor of the recent anthology 'Lords of the Razor', Washington Post Book World (Copyright 2006 Washington Post Book World Service/Washington Post Writers Group)
(hide most of this review)
"If not top-drawer Koontz, darned close to it, magnetically readable, and incorporating an eloquent plea for discarded and mistreated dogs everywhere." Booklist
"Mr. Koontz routinely churns out epic tales of good versus evil, but he strains hard this time to place a pet at the center of his moral universe." Janet Maslin, New York Times
Koontz delivers suspense for all seasons with a transcendent thriller — a heart-gripping tour de force featuring a dedicated dog rescuer, a very special golden retriever she saves, and the murderous adversaries they must face together.
About the Author
Dean Koontz, the author of many #1 New York Times bestsellers, lives with his wife, Gerda, and the enduring spirit of their golden retriever, Trixie, in southern California.

Preventive PreservationPage address: http://lib.mnsu.edu/services/preservation/prevent.html
LEAFLET-Student Training-General
Preventive preservation is an integral component of the day to day operations of Memorial Library. All staff have the responsibility to ensure the longest possible useful lifespan of the entire collection. This is true for no other reason than to protect the institution's capital investment of those materials. If you have not had the opportunity to view the video "Murder in the Stacks", we recommend you take the time to do so. The video will demonstrate reshelving, removal of books, loading book carts, enforcement of food and drink policy and book inspection. Its call number is Z701.M87 1987. Listed below are additional helpful hints to be aware of while handling library materials:
1. Encourage good photocopying
- Never open a volume more than
180 degrees.
- Do not exert pressure on the spine
of the book.
- Do not allow books to be left
on top of photocopiers because they can be damaged by heat.
- Tightly bound, fragile, and rare
material should not be copied on a flat bed copier.
- Some copying is better suited for copiers where the book is supported in a cradle at the angle of its opening. These copiers work well for tight volumes, or narrow margin books.
2. While working in a collection,
(print or non-print), you may see library materials
in trouble. Please report the problem to your supervisor. Examples would include
insect or rodent infestations, overcrowdedness, and dampness.
3. Book repairs are done by
trained staff and never should someone attempt a quick
fix with scotch tape. It might be necessary for a book that is in poor condition
continue to circulate now and go to mending later. Your supervisor will instruct
how to mark it on PALS.
4. Clean hands are essential.
Allow hand lotions to dry thoroughly before touching
5. Carry only a few books
at a time. Carts are available for library materials and they
vary in size.
6. Keep food and drink in
proper locations. Protect books from food, drink, water
and dirt. If you bring food into the building, please do so discreetly. Snacks
should not be eaten in the work areas.
7. When transferring books,
it might be necessary to grip books with two hands
rather than usings the pinch grip. This will prevent strain on your hands and
wrists which can happen while handling or shifting lots of books.
8. When using tattle tape
in the spine, don't force it. It could break through the
bookcloth. Also, be sure to pull the tattle tape all the way to the middle of the
spine. If any is left out or exposed, it can easily cut someone.

Been doing some research for a while on the MLD Trailstar. Lots of great reviews from UK blogs. But I noticed many comments about "using it in anger." Can someone translate this for me?
I am not a Brit, but from what I gather, "used in anger" is often applied to things that are taken and tested to their fullest extent. In the case of the MLD trailstar, likely under adverse weather conditions (cold, windy and stormy?), as opposed to just a fair weather trial where the worthiness of the tarp does not come into play. Sort of a "tested in battle" situation, methinks.
Edited by choyoyo on 01/07/2013 22:34:19 MST.
its used for its intended purpose or used for real. as opposed just in testing situations.
Yes, real use as opposite to "I set it up in my backyard this afternoon"Mind you you can get real weather in your backyard too, but the point of course is that when tired,cold, wet and exposed to the elements, things tend not to work the same as they do in the backyard.
As a Brit, I can confirm that Michael and Franco are correct :)
Despite 10 plus nights in my Trailstar it has also yet to be used in anger. However, there are many,many reports from the UK of Trailstars being used in severe weather and performing very well.
Nick,I've used a Trailstar in conditions ranging from "didn't really need it" in the Alps to classic Cairngorm conditions, i.e. just above freezing, wet and windy. Did you have any particular queries about it or were you just in need of the "use in anger" translation?
John,I just ordered a Trailstar. My intended use is for really windy weather. For winter storms high up, I have a Scarp 1 that meets the needs of the conditions I usually encounter. I use much lighter shelters most of the time (when I cannot sleep under the stars), currently a Hexamid.I was just perplexed by the term. When I buy something I do a lot of research and I particularly like the feedback from UK users if a product is popular over there. They seem to be more focused on what a piece of gear can really do, instead of finding something that weighs a couple grams less.I probably saw the term used by a dozen different people.
Nick,I don't think you will regret your choice for that use. The design is excellent and the manufacturing top notch. The Trailstar is great for one or two people and is remarkably stable in strong winds.Having said that, after a number of trips over the past couple of years in mixed UK weather with a party of 3, and more trips scheduled with the same team for this year, a Supermid is now on order...... The 9'x9' pyramid format is just so good for hanging out in bad weather if there is more than two people.....

Java SE (Standard Edition) SDK (Software Development Kit) is a freely distributed, yet closed-source computer technology that has been designed from the ground up to provide a modern and featureful development environment for developers who want to program application in the Java programming language.
What is Java?
Initially developed by Sun Microsystems for interactive television, the Java technology was has been later acquired by the Oracle Corporation and transform it into one of the most powerful programming languages, supported on a wide range of computer platforms.
The JDK (Java Development Kit) edition of Java SE also contains the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) platform, which means that you won't have to download and install them separately when attempting to develop applications in Java.
Supported operating systems
The project is also known as Java SE Development Kit and it is available for download as pre-built binary packages for a wide range of GNU/Linux operating system, being fully compatible with both 64-bit (x86_64) and 32-bit (x86) instruction set architectures.
On the official website of the project, you will find native installers for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, openSUSE, OpenMandriva, Mageia, Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and many other distributions of Linux based on the aforementioned OSes, in the RPM and DEB file formats.
Being designed from the ground up as a platform-independent web and desktop technology, the Java SE Development Kit software is also compatible with several other open source and commercial operating systems, such as BSD, Solaris, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.
The Java Runtime Environment Environment
While the Java SE Development Kit technology has been designed to helps Java developers create modern and cross-platform applications or feature-rich content for websites, the Java SE Runtime Environment platform is mainly used on computers for enjoying Java programs and rich web content.

Senate GOP, Democrats Hold Party Meetings As Sequester Draws Near
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid asks for quiet while talking to...

Reed said that finding a solution to the sequestration lies with the House Republicans and that Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) was wrong when he said, 'We should not have to move a third bill before the Senate gets off their ass and begins to do something.'

I'm starting a new tent made from silnylon. I would really prefer to not sear the edges if I don't have to. Will a have problem fraying like uncoated's do or am I ok not not sear?Thanks, Jamie
I never sear anything. I have only had one lot of silnylon that frayed at all and that wasn't much. Just do finished edges and everything will be fine.-Tim
For coated nylon (silnylon), searing may not be necessary. But uncoated frays very easily and does much better when seared. I made an alcohol lamp to do this.

Kirby: Gift of time with a loved one grander than gold
Last week, Sonny and I took our wives (one each) to a "ranch wedding." Jennie, the daughter of our friends Jeanie and Butch Jensen, married Jeff Christensen at the Jensen family ranch on top of the world.
This wasn't the average drive-over-to-some-neighborhood-church wedding. It required a three-hour crawl up a dirt road into the farthest reaches of Utah.
We rendezvoused with other guests in the parking lot of an East Carbon market. At the appointed hour, cowboy Terry Gleave led the convoy of four-wheel-drive trucks up a road steeper than the national debt.
Note: Given the nature of our friendship, I normally wouldn't trust Terry for directions to the ground I was standing on at the time. But this was a wedding. He had to get it right.
The risk was worth it. Sonny and I really like Jennie. She gives us food whenever we show up. Exactly how much we like Jeff remains to be seen. It depends entirely on how he treats Jennie for the rest of his life.
Because this was a ranch wedding, for once I wasn't underdressed. I saw two neckties in the crowd. One was Sonny's bolo tie fashioned from genuine beer cans and turquoise. The other was on the judge who did the marrying.
Except for the bride, everyone else wore jeans and boots and cowboy hats. The only nod to convention was a lack of spurs, including on the flower girls.
The ceremony was performed on a deck overlooking the wildest country in Utah. The sun was out, the meadows full of flowers. Rain clouds hung in purple drapes a hundred miles away in Colorado. No church has ever been more breathtaking.
After the vows were said (and Jeff had stopped looking terrified), there was a big steak fry. Everyone got their picture taken. We piled our gifts for the bride on a stone wall.
Another note: Yeah, I'm old-fashioned. Wedding gifts are for the bride.
An unconventional wedding requires an unconventional wedding gift. So, for her wedding, my wife and I gave Jennie one of my molars.
Not the actual tooth. I lost that and another one in a fight 20 years ago. Instead, I used the gold crown that, until recently, had replaced it.
With the current price of gold, I figured Jennie could hock my tooth and get whatever she wanted for her wedding. I even bought a card and taped the tooth to it.
Although it was a ranch wedding, my wife suggested the possibility of violating some bit of obscure cowboy etiquette. After all, we were city people. Maybe among ranch people it's highly inappropriate (to the point of hanging) to give someone else's wife one of your teeth.
I took the crown to a business that buys gold, had it melted down, and walked out with a check. I used that to buy Jennie a shock collar for Jeff. But my wife made me take that back and get some cookware instead. If he gets out of line, she can hit him with it.
Fifty years from now, I hope Jennie and Jeff are celebrating their Golden Wedding anniversary. By then they'll know that time is gold. And every minute you spend with someone you love is worth more than the real stuff.

How to add filter portfolio items by category in admin?
Page builder has Portfolio element. Then this element has filter option by categories. That's it. Please watch portfolio element screencast from documentation page.
no, I want to add filter categories of portfolio in portfolio manage. It's not page builder.
What "portfolio manage" means? I don't understand your question. Can you explain it little bit clear?
Hi there,
How could I change the link of the author name at the bottom of blog posts please? Currently it links to the Author page, but I want it to link to the authors twitter name using the following code:
<?php the_author_meta('twitter'); ?>
When looking for the place to make this edit in single.php, all I find is:
<?php about_author(); ?>
Where is the file I need to make the appropriate edits please?
Thank you.
Manual editing method:
If your want to change those link on blog page, you should replace those links on
loop.php file. There has 4
the_author_posts_link(); function occurs.
On single post page, above function exists on in line 52. Also author box function exists on
framework/inc_content.php file and line 635.
WP function method:
If those manual editing is hard to you and on many places, probably we need to use php method as
add_filter('the_author_posts_link', 'the_author_twitter_link'); function the_author_twitter_link() { global $authordata; if ( !is_object( $authordata ) ) return false; echo the_author_meta('twitter'); }Add this code on functions.php file. Note: It isn't completed and tested well!
Thanks a lot
Hi there, I know you're theme doesn't say it is compatible with woo commerce but I took a chance and bought it anyway. I can only find one issue and that is that one button is grey and the writing on that button is white. Its very difficult to read, and it's the only 1 button that is styled this way. I used another theme before, and this button wasn't any different from the rest, with your theme it seems to be. I know you don't support woo commerce but I thought I'd give it a shot asking you. Great theme by the way!! My page in question is: http://www.wkdbanners.co.uk/order/
I just checked the button of woo and see theme style overwrites woo style. And give you simple solution for readability
.woocommerce button.button.alt, .woocommerce-page button.button.alt {color#666 !important;}Please add this custom style on Custom CSS panel of theme options panel
I've switched the theme back on and added this code, it's still the same, and I've also noticed that the side bar is under the shop part rather than at the side?
.woocommerce button.button.alt, .woocommerce-page button.button.alt {color:#666 !important;}
Still have the same issue, This page: http://www.wkdbanners.co.uk/product/176/ is fixed, but clients rarely see this page, the most seen page would be this: http://www.wkdbanners.co.uk/order/
I don't know how you configured up you site. Have you set woo pages there already and completely?
Yes as far as I am aware, I have set woo commerce up completely and 100%. I have also asked on there community forums, and the answers I got pointed to the theme. Nothing helpful though, just 'it's a theme issue'.
Also, is it possible to change the background color of the page title area under the menu? It's currently plain white, I may want to use our corporate color on this area.
#feature { background-color:#CUSTOM; }
Hello, The Google+ social widget Acconutn ID fails me. You can check my URL: http://marketingenredesociales.com/ My Google + Account ID is "114193448176864388728", and the link shows this: https / / plus.google.com/u/0/114193448176864388728 which is a broken link. Can you help? Thank you.
Looks now you set it there correctly. Thanks
Hi there!
Quick question… the search function appears to only display results from posts and not pages. How can I include content from pages in the search results?
Many thanks, Sue
Please open up the
functions.php file and remove
exclude_pages_from_search function at bottom of that file.
Thank you once again for the great support and quick response.
Thank you for noticing
So here is the update of script that opens single portfolio page straightly. Update it into your theme folder and clear cache of your browser. http://goo.gl/MGUWt1 It will have be an option on next update
My wordpress recently self updated, and since then, if i'm trying to use the icon for the theme to add your shortcodes, or try to use the page builder and click on the 'gear' the pop up windows where we should be able to edit attributes seems to pop up, is grayed out and does not work. I need to tab through to I highlight 'done' or 'cancel'. Any idea's how to fix this?
Also, I've found more buttons for woo commerce that aren't formatted right. Can you have a look at these for me please?
'Proceed to checkout' button here: http://www.wkdbanners.co.uk/cart/ and the 'place order' button on this page: http://www.wkdbanners.co.uk/checkout/
Please add this simple style in
framework/post-type/style.css file
.ui-widget-overlay{z-index:80 !important}There need some small css glitches but above style solves big problem
Can you advise on fixing the css issues on those buttons? Getting those fixed will allow me to be a step away from launching my site. The 1 step stopping me is a woo commerce issue which I am waiting on help for from them. Thank you for all your help
First I see this on both of those links, http://d.pr/i/8kOm
Then I wondering what are you talking about. So now I added some items on the cart and see button issue. http://www.screenr.com/W2KH
.woocommerce a.button.alt, .woocommerce button.button.alt, .woocommerce input.button.alt, .woocommerce #respond input#submit.alt, .woocommerce #content input.button.alt, .woocommerce-page a.button.alt, .woocommerce-page button.button.alt, .woocommerce-page input.button.alt, .woocommerce-page #respond input#submit.alt, .woocommerce-page #content input.button.alt, .woocommerce a.button:hover, .woocommerce button.button:hover, .woocommerce input.button:hover, .woocommerce #respond input#submit:hover, .woocommerce #content input.button:hover, .woocommerce-page a.button:hover, .woocommerce-page button.button:hover, .woocommerce-page input.button:hover, .woocommerce-page #respond input#submit:hover, .woocommerce-page #content input.button:hover {color:#666 !important}
Hello all,Probably you see some problem on pagebuilder If you've updated your wp to 3.6. Looks this version has high z-index on that gray overlay.
Please add this simple style in
framework/post-type/style.css file
.ui-widget-overlay{z-index:80 !important}There need some small css glitches but above style solves big problem. Also this issue updated next update.
On my laptop, using the latest version of FireFox I need to change this line of code:
to this:
In order to use the page builder feature. Where do I make this change? I can't find the code.
Sorry I don't see anything after ":". Please send me them again.
This code:
 When Changed to this helps a lot:
 You can view what I mean here: http://www.hypecreativegroup.com/wp-content/uploads/before-after.jpg

I guess it is related WP3.6. Please update the theme, latest version has tons of updates and fixes
I've noticed a lot of the pages seem to be putting
on the code which causes some layout issues. Are you aware of this or what causes this? I had a new homepage I made, and some of the images were out of alignment until I removed the '
' and it seemed fine after that.
and
 that should say
I don't understand what you mean. Also you comment looks incomplete. Please watch this and try to select you home page there. Thanks
1. This theme is great and you're doing an amazing job with support!
2. The pagebuilder editor isn't working properly. Everything is mashed to the right barely viewable in a 30-40px gap. Any idea what's going on?
3. On an individual portfolio page, can you add/replace/subtract fields in the "Details" section?
1. Really appreciated.
2. Please update the theme. Latest version has tons of updates. Hope your problem solved with this enough
3. Please try to add those manually there. Change isn't hard to do.
– So please open up
framework\post-type\portfolio.php file and add your custom fields as line in
$portfolio_settings array.
- Open up the
single-portfolio.php file and print your custom arguments like http://d.pr/i/Kcrj
- If you can't do those there, please let me know and I'll help you
- Don't forget to make changes in your child theme, because it is helpful to save your changes on every update of main theme
Thanks a lot

Lots of problems after upgrading WP and Gravity Tabs are not working (check for instance http://getecsa.com.mx/about/ the mission part is supposed to be in tabs), team images are not working (I read about aq_resizer.php and restored the previous version and it worked again), Service column are throwing ": Undefined variable: html in …/wp-content/themes/Gravity/framework/pagebuilder/items/column_service/init.php on line 156", page builder is adding extra p and breaking the design (check http://getecsa.com.mx/service-center/ "Let us handle needs to be in the same line of the right image but before the shortcode is adding p
and the mobile menu is gooone
I'm gonna be in trouble with the customer
(check the compatibility with the latest jquery version that wp is using plz… you are using deprecated split() function too, php warnings told me so, only substitute them for explode()
the mobile menu is not working because of if (badIE == false){ Uncaught ReferenceError: badIE is not definedin script.js
ok I commented the if… and the closing } and the mobile menu is working now, but the tabs not working is a big issue
After I fixed the mobile menu, now the tab is working… I'm just missing the service column now
In order to remove the warning "Undefined variable: html in …/wp-content/themes/Gravity/framework/pagebuilder/items/column_service/init.php on line 156", I added $html = ''; on line 146
$html = '';
the problem with the

added into the shortcodes it is the last problem I have
Hello, what an effort man.
So point me where exactly the service element now on your site? I guess you were updated incomplete your theme. Ans suspect some of your files calling from child theme and they don't have latest version changes.
Edit: Yeah my right. I've logged in your site and found above things
I added there (child header.php) missing things. Seems fine now and please check there. You should turn back mobile menu section in "scripts.js" file.
excuse me themeton, I've got lost… I appreciate your help… so you already edited some other files? what should I edit on scripts.js?
(it's weird that filezilla didn't tell me anything about a failed file transfer)
Oh, I see… I've just edited the js file and uncommented if (badIE == false){ ... and now I understand what I did wrong, I didn't update the child header.php. thx a lot!!
can the footer and header colour be changed so it is a custom colour? and can the text for headings and the navigation be edited too?
You can change header bg color with an option. Footer requires custom style but very simple. Top and menu border colors have options.
Layer Slider. Having an issue since installing Gravity 2.0 with layer slider. The shadow on borderlesslight skin is now in front of the slider???
Can you send me your site address here or via mail? I wanna inspect it and give you a solution. Thanks
Portfolio featured image does not seem to be appearing since I installed Gravity 2.0?
Please send me your site address. Thanks
Under the "Portfolio" I'm using the portfolio plugin. When you click on the individual item, it takes you to that page. But, in the breadcrumbs, when I try clicking "Portfolio" it takes me to the 404. My guess is permalinks are naming things "..porfolio-item/project" instead of just "..portfolio/project" ?
Sorry for multiple posts…
I want to get rid of the multiple rollover options when I hover over portfolio image. In the portfolio gallery, I want just the "" icon to appear and then that will expand into the lightbox. What do I need to do?
The empty quotes contained a plus sign.
I think there we need to bind taxonomy page link or your portfolio page link. Also we can remove it simply. Do you prefer which one of these?
Possibly remove? So long as the images on the portfolio gallery take me to the individual portfolio pages when clicked and then large "featured image" on the single page expands into a lightbox when clicked.
Hope you are using latest version of the theme. So please go to the Additional options tab of ThemeOptions panel and you'll see the options http://d.pr/i/NEuD those for overlay icons.
Please use this option for your need
