Jose Abreu had two strikes against him during his first at-bat Wednesday afternoon and he swung like a guy with some pent-up aggression.
The Cuban-born rookie first baseman appeared to relieve himself of both the count and some stress with one big swing in the first inning of the Chicago White Sox's 7-6 win against the San Francisco Giants at U.S. Cellular Field.
He drilled the 20th home run of his career with a line drive over the fence in left with a runner aboard for a 2-0 lead, after some frustrations the previous two games led to conversations with the White Sox coaching staff for not running to first in situations that called for it.
"Those are things that I forget, I leave behind," Abreu said afterward. "That just happened (Tuesday). I learned from it and I keep going. Those are the things that happen. Those are stones in life. They happen, things that happen, and you just (find) in front of you. You've just got to learn from it and keep going."
After failing to run out a pop up down the first-base line Sunday against the Kansas City Royals, Abreu again didn't run to first Tuesday against the Giants following a wild pitch third strike.
"Obviously, I made a mistake," Abreu said prior to Wednesday's game. "But the manager and the team have talked to me about it and I understand. I made a mistake and that's something I'm going to fix."
White Sox bench coach Mark Parent wasted no time addressing each instance in the dugout, using an interpreter. Manager Robin Ventura also chatted with him about it after Tuesday's game.
"(Frustration) is part of it, but he understands," Ventura said. "The position that he's in, he's more of a leader on the team, so he needs to be able to do that stuff. If he doesn't do it, nobody else is going to do it. He understands that."
Abreu didn't exactly agree on the leadership role, but said he understands what Ventura means.
"I don't really consider myself a leader right now of the team," he said. "But I have the last couple of (games), I made a couple of mistakes, which is normal. I will make sure that it gets fixed. You have to hustle. You have to run. In that situation, you have to be able to show the team that even when things are bad, you have to run."

Fashionable clothes are now more accessible than ever before, as shops like New Look, Zara, H&M and Top Shop carry cheap and cheerful copies inspired by the latest creations from top designers. Here, a few examples from the 1960s onwards show stores being inspired by couture high fashion to retail similar outfits for a fraction of the cost and thus reaching a far greater raft of consumers. For instance, a green, purple and blue printed 1960s silk mini-dress by Wallis imitates a printed design by Emilio Pucci, an orange Marks and Spencer coat echoes the bold bright space-age designs of Andre Courreges, Pakamac has fun flaunting a psychedelic futurist PVC design, Biba produces its own cheap version of the bias-cut lace evening dress, and a company named Smarti mirrors the Chanel suit with its boxy jacket and gold chain decoration.
Before the 1960s, stylish clothing was not so affordable and fashionable dress remained the domain of the well-to-do, who did not usually buy clothing ready-made in shops but hired dressmakers, tailors and professional embroiderers to make them. Looking at the two cheap but entirely avant guarde tops from Top Shop at the end, it is easy to appreciate how much simpler and more egalitarian it is, to be "in fashion" in today's consumer-oriented, shop-aholic society.

Is wearable tech an opportunity for pharma to be more caring?With wearable tech set to burgeon Peita Pacey takes a look at the opportunities which are presenting themselves in the healthcare sector for brands. In the olden days, you know like 5 years ago, when people felt ill or just not quite ourselves they went to the doctors. Nowadays their usual first point of call is to contact Dr Google, who is most likely helpful enough to diagnose them with a rare form of incurable cancer at which they run screaming from our screens into the waiting room of an actual doctor who rolls their eyes and prescribes us with some R&R.
Credit where it's due: Margaret and David - bringing the curtain downAfter yesterday's announcement the ABC is wrapping At the Movies at the end of the year we give Credit Where its Due to one of the longest on-screen partnerships in Aussie TV, Margaret and David. As Margaret always acknowledged, they were like an old married couple, but without the sex. Quarrelling, bickering and occasionally agreeing. But it was all done with mutual respect and genuine affection. We refer, of course, to Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton, known by movie fans across Australia simply as Margaret and David. Surnames were rendered superfluous for two of TV's most respected and popular presenters.
Bitter tweet: defamation in social mediaAhead of a video hangout on Wednesday answering your legal questions Stephen von Muenster looks at how defamation law is evolving in social media. 140 defamatory characters posted in the Twitter-sphere could cost tens of thousands of dollars in damages, the New South Wales District Court has held. The case reignites the complexities of defamation law in a world where everyone is a publisher and information is disseminated across the globe at the click of a button.
Why 'free' will eventually cost youModern marketing is taking services and products that used to be free and adding subtle charges for them, argues Andrew Hughes of the Australian National University in a cross-posting from The Conversation. Remember the days when free really was free? When reading a news article to the end didn't mean having to get over, around or through a paywall. Or when loyalty schemes actually rewarded loyalty with decent rewards, not "spend $200 get a $20 reward voucher that can only be spent with us".
Credit where it's due: Devondale - brave and bold marketing to build a brandIn a new column Mumbrella celebrates the best people and work in the industry. Today we recognise dairy brand Devondale for its work with creative agency DDB which saw the brand revitalise a tired sector. It's a common moan from creatives in Australia there aren't many clients willing to take a risk with their brand due to the grip of a conservative corporate culture. But one brand which has given its agency free-reign to push boundaries, and reaped the rewards, is Devondale.
Has social media failed e-commerce?Following the launch of Twitter's "Buy" button earlier this week, Peter Cassidy, co-founder of Stackla, examines how social media drives potential consumers to retail websites. The success and rapid adoption of social media made it inevitable that businesses would look to social to drive online sales. New social platforms came with the promise of unprecedented reach, providing retailers with the means to drive swarms of qualified prospects to their websites. The truth of course, is that social media didn't deliver on the promise.
The new iPhones may not be revolutionary, but they are refining the experienceWith the launch of two new iPhones today DT's Jason Deacon says Apple has done the job of redefining mobile experiences. When you pick up a phone in a store the first thing that grabs your attention is the display. It's the feather fascinator on a Melbourne Cup goer. The 'new and improved' sticker on your washing detergent. The hundreds and thousands on white bread.
Social media influence is a fallacy
Following yesterday's opinion piece on the power of social media ambassadors yesterday Eaon Pritchard argues the idea of influencers is actually flawed.
The idea that brands can pick out and target a small group of social media users with large 'followings' and then imagine that they will reach everyone else with their message is still prevalent however this influencer theory is a myth and its protagonists have got things the wrong way round.
Credit where it's due - Lee Lin Chin, a newsreader with gravitas and comedy geniusIn a new column Mumbrella celebrates the best people and work in the industry. Today we salute 20-year SBS veteran Lee Lin Chin, who traverses the serious world of news with a more light-hearted approach. There aren't many newsreaders who can successfully make the leap to light entertainment, but Lee Lin Chin can put that feather in her cap. Not content with being a mainstay on the po-faced SBS World News since 1992, Lee Lin has been engaging and delighting a younger audience with her regular appearances on SBS2's The Feed.
The power of cool and product placement in social mediaProduct placement is infiltrating social media influencers, but how long will it be before the platforms come for their piece of the pie asks Richie Meldrum? Beauty and popularity have always gone hand in hand. If you think back to the most popular kid at your school, chances are, he or she was blessed with nice hair, clear skin and fortuitous features. Call it natural selection if you like, but the cool kids have courted the attention and admiration of their peers in a relationship dynamic that's been going on as long as anyone can remember.
Credit Where it's Due: Jason Kent - lifting the lid on the Australian movie sceneIn a new regular column Mumbrella recognises the best people and work in the industry. This time it's Jason Kent for daring to ask tough questions of the Australian film industry. It seems to be increasingly rare for people to put their head above the parapet and question their peers. Too often, industries - and not just this one - close ranks, watch each other's backs and fail to address issues that are holding back progress. So take a bow Jason Kent, the founder of Pure Independent Pictures, who is behind a documentary which aims to lift the lid on why Australia's film industry is struggling at the box office.
For Father's Day, give us men who aren't shown as fools and clownsMen are regularly represented in the media and advertising as stupid and clumsy and it is denying younger generations proper role models argues Peter West of the University of Technology in this cross-posting from The Conversation. Get your hand off it," says the girl in the ad. Here is a cowgirl type telling men not to play with anything while driving. It's the mobile that she means, ha ha. Why should we be concerned? Because yet again, here's an ad showing men as fools, clowns or rogues. Time and again we'll be shown someone doing the wrong thing, then told off. It always seems to be the man doing the wrong thing, and a woman ridiculing him.
Credit Where it's Due: Biggsy - charming, clever and toughIn a regular new feature in which Mumbrella recognises the best people and work in the industry, Credit Where It's Due begins by saluting Peter Biggs, the talented and charismatic Kiwi who helped turn Clemenger BBDO Melbourne into Australia's best creative agency. In a competitive industry, it's hard to find an agency boss that nobody has a bad word to say about. Even harder when that includes rivals that his agency keeps beating. So the departure of Peter Biggs back to New Zealand is a big moment for the Australian market. Biggs, a thoroughly decent individual, has been a leader not just within the agency, but in the wider agency world. Given that the industry needs a little positivity, we've been planning to launch this new series Credit Where It's Due for a few weeks now. And there is nobody in the industry who deserves that credit more than Peter Biggs.
Four things Foxtel really needs to implement to fight off its competitionYesterday Foxtel announced some significant changes to its pricing and some services. Here Simon Dell looks at what the pay-TV provider needs to do to really combat the upcoming arrival of video streaming services. So I've spent the last few years having a crack at Foxtel whenever I could. I thought the service was expensive, restrictive and, in TV terms, antiquated. Sure, not as antiquated as the main channels and their: YOU WILL WATCH THIS WHEN WE WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS approach but still not dancing on the cutting edge of TV broadcasting.
The truth about shopping: the changing face of retailAs retailers continue to struggle with the balance of bricks and mortar and digital events Karl Bates dives into a recent McCann's global study to take the pulse of consumer behaviour. While many are proclaiming a slow death of traditional retail at the hands of the internet, the truth is it's only the traditional retailers who don't get it that are "getting it" from online alternatives. As our recent Truth About Shopping global study shows, traditional retailers who have innovatively evolved their offerings to embrace digital technologies are more popular with their customers than ever.
OMD appoints HR manager Carolyn Maloney to executive team
OMD has placed an HR professional on its national executive team for the first time, with the promotion of Carolyn Maloney, the agency's director of people management.
In addition, OMD Australia has poached Nick Barbour from Aegis Media\Mitchell & Partners to fill the role of people and development manager. Barbour will report to Maloney.
Maloney was appointed director of people management at OMD Australia in 2006, and took on the same role for Omnicom sister agency PHD in 2009.
Peter Horgan, CEO of OMD Australia, said: "It is testament to the great work that Carolyn has done in driving people development, evangelising the importance of focusing on our staff, and driving fame and PR for OMD as being a top employer, not only within the communications industry, but also on a wider stage."
"It's a logical step that the person charged with driving the development of our people, should sit at the centre of the community charged with the strategic direction for our business".
Maloney started her career as an account executive at Mattingly Melbourne in 1988, and took on her first HR role at DDB Sydney in 1999.
Barbour, a graduate of HR management/industrial relations at Charles Stuart University, was previously HR Advisor at Mitchells.

Ferguson met Kilpatrick while Kilpatrick was a state representative and the two became close friends after Ferguson helped a constituent who contacted Kilpatrick about a snowed-in driveway.
Ferguson was one of Kilpatrick's most-trusted mayoral advisers, acting as an unpaid city clean-up czar and holding appointed positions.
He took over his father's earth moving and demolition company before Kilpatrick became mayor and was a successful city contractor who worked on landmark projects like the Compuware headquarters.
A federal grand jury accused Ferguson of using his ties to Kilpatrick to force city contractors to pay him millions of dollars, sometimes for work he didn't perform. He was indicted on 14 counts of racketeering, extortion and bribery.
The most serious charge carries a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison. In a separate case tried earlier this year, Ferguson was accused of bribery, money laundering and gun charges, but the case ended in a mistrial after one of the 12 jurors refused to convict Ferguson and his co-defendants.
Prosecutors have said they will retry the case after the Kilpatrick Enterprise trial has concluded.
Ferguson has said he innocent of all charges brought against him by the federal government.

Asthma Treatments
By Rob Ayoup
Q. I have asthma and use an inhaler regularly. Are there any long-term effects, and is there anything I can do to use it less?
A. Natural medicine has a lot to offer when it comes to managing asthma long term, but don't ditch your corticosteroid inhaler just yet. During a severe attack, it's often the only thing that can help you. Natural remedies can reduce the overall severity of asthma, however, and decrease or eventually eliminate your dependence on meds like corticosteroids and bronchodilators. As you try my suggestions, you should start noticing that you're using your inhaler less and less.
And that's important because inhalers produce some unwelcome side effects, including headaches, throat irritation, frequent infections, tremors, or heart palpitations. With long-term inhaler use, the high doses of medication they contain could reduce your ability to absorb calcium and cause osteoporosis as the body draws the calcium it needs from your bones.
The first step you should take to cut back on your inhaler? Recognize and avoid known attack triggers. Reduce your dust exposure by eliminating carpets and rugs, if possible, and frequently washing bed sheets and pillowcases. You should also install a HEPA air filter to remove airborne allergy triggers like pollen.
Next, you need to overhaul your diet. Challenge yourself to eat a mostly vegetarian diet, reducing or eliminating meat completely, and adding plenty of oily fish. Here's why: By maximizing antioxidant sources from fruits and vegetables of various colors, you obtain a wide spectrum of beneficial nutrients that reduce inflammation and prevent airway constriction. Omega-3 oils in salmon, mackerel, herring, and sardines, as well as fish oil supplements (take 4,000 mg daily), provide the fats you need to form natural anti-inflammatory biochemicals. Chicken and beef, on the other hand, contain arachidonic acid, a substance that produces pro-inflammatory chemicals. In addition, milk and cheese from dairy and soy sources stimulate mucus formation in the lungs and airways. Replace them with calcium-enriched, rice-based milk and cheese products, which do not have that effect.
Certain nutrients provide key antioxidants called flavonoids that help prevent bronchial spasms and reduce the likelihood of an asthma attack. You should start taking grape-seed extract (300 mg), pycnogenol (200 mg), and quercetin (1,000 mg) each day. Asthmatics typically produce less-than-normal levels of glutathione—a naturally occurring antioxidant—but recent research shows that magnesium increases glutathione, improves lung function, and reduces bronchodilator use. I recommend 600 mg of magnesium daily. You should also consider taking 300 mg of the ayurvedic herb boswellia three times a day; research shows it can reduce the severity of asthma symptoms, the frequency of attacks, and the level of respiratory tract inflammation. And try licorice root, an expectorant herb that helps the lungs bring up a...

Welcome Guest
Torrent NewsŌĆ£The LetterŌĆØ Is Still The Best Story To Explain Why Copyright Monopoly Must Be Reduced
People are still getting distracted by the silly question of "how somebody will get paid" if the copyright monopoly is reduced. It's irrelevant, it's a red herring. What this debate is about is bringing vital civil liberties along from the analog environment into the digital - and that requires allowing file-sharing all out.

Academic Advising
Undergraduate Advising
Residential college deans and directors of studies provide guidance and support for students throughout their undergraduate careers.
In their freshman and sophomore years, A.B. students receive regular academic guidance from faculty advisers as well as from the deans, directors of studies and peer advisers in the residential colleges.
The undergraduate advising program for B.S.E. students involves many engineering faculty members, who serve as advisers to first-year students enrolled in the School of Engineering and Applied Science.
As students select a field of concentration they develop advising relationships with the relevant departmental representatives and faculty advisers in the areas of their independent work. A.B. students normally select a major in the spring term of their sophomore year. B.S.E students normally select a field of study within engineering in the spring term of their freshman year.
For juniors and seniors, residential college deans and directors of studies provide guidance and support regarding matters not specific to the major.
Additionally, the Office of the Dean of the College maintains a site called Academic Success at Princeton that explains many of the support programs available to students, such as tutoring, mentoring and research services.

Dog (Price) Tag: $230K
One man's dog cost more than a house
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by JessicaR | July 12 2011 | Permalink
I paid $0 for my GSD/Chow mix, he found me at a local dog park and an owner never surfaced. I paid $300 for my rescued Xoloitzcuintle, $300 for my Pit Bull/Plott Hound mix even though her adoption fee was only $160 and $0 for my Lab/Dane mix because as a rescuer I don't pay a shelter pull fee. My senior foster GSP is available for a meer $150!
Each and every one of these dogs is precious and outstanding in their own way. Each is special needs and has taught me valuable lessons that no other dog would have been able to teach me.
PS - That $0 GSD/Chow mix is Schutzhund and protected me for many, many years before retiring to security guard status. In his younger days he could do anything that $230K dog can do.

Got one for free because as a shelter employee I get one free adoption. He is a gorgrous afghan hound border collie mix, DNA tested. Got the other, a minnie jack (min pin jack russell mix) that looks like a scruffy Chinese Crested with a mohawk, for $75 about 8 years ago from a different rescue group. Spent a couple hundred on my wonderful late Greyhound, a retired racer, and nada for my perfecf chow/lab mix who was my best pal throughout her life. TThere is a competiition every year called Extreme Mutt Makeover in which trainers get shelter dogs and turn them into model citizens. It is foolish to pay that sum for a GSD.

I paid $140 for my German Shepherd mix at a shelter and he's worth 10 times that. The cost included neutering, microchip, shots and I thought it was a bargain. There are so many wonderful dogs at shelters, some purebreds, that I could never bring myself to but a dog from a breeder.
I paid 250.00 to neuter my free to good home pit/ridgeback mix. I trained him and he was a great guard dog and would not allow anyone in our house unless invited, and was trained in commands only known to our family. He once came out of the car window when he knew I was threatened by someone. It is not about the breed, the cost of the dog, it is about the training and the relationship you have with your dog. How many dogs could have been saved from a shelter and turned into someones well trained loving pet for the cost of saying I have a 275,000.00 dog, at the end of the day..it is still a dog, only this one has 275,000 piece of paper someone handed this guy to say he was trained as an "executive watch dog". Wow, what a great new politically correct term in the training world...I must email this article to my partner now....

I paid $80 for my German Shepherd/husky mix...best dog ever! She was protective, loving, sweet and most importantly she came from a shelter!!
Submitted by Dogcopper | July 13 2011 | Permalink
I have had several awesome dogs over the years. My best girl, (a cancer detection research dog) came to me as a stray during the funeral of my Police dog over 15 years ago. I have paid between $50-$300 for different adopted dogs, but this girl was priceless. She passed this year, but knowing how wonderful she was, I would paid every penny I had to have her in my life. I think that when a dog and a human bond, there is no price that can be placed.

We've shared our home with 6 adopted dogs over the past 30 years. We currently care for 3 dogs, the most recent addition added 12 years ago, an adult Pit mix, adopted from a shelter for a fee of $70. He was already neutered and vetted. Our "costliest" dog was another adult, a cattle dog/border collie mix, adopted 15 years ago, for a donation of $100 to the rescue group. We agreed to be responsible for her spay procedure. And yes, the rescue group followed up with our vet to confirm her spay. Our dogs have been/are wonderful companions. Several have earned their Canine Good Citizen certificates (I only pursued the CGC cert with a few dogs, just for fun) and one was certified as a Therapy Dog. The "value" of all of our dogs? Absolutely priceless.

I paid $75 for my dog. Her upfront cost was cheap but she made that up with "maintenance costs" over the years. ;)
Loved her to bits regardless.

I think the shelter fee for our Black Lab Mix was $75 which included a free spay at a local vet when she was old enough - 9 years ago they were still waited until puppies were six months old.

Not all dogs that come from breeders are from puppy mills. I have a pure bred dog from a reputable breeder and have his family tree 5 generations back and I can assure you, that he is not inbred. The breeder I got my dog from breeds one, maybe two litters a year, if that (the year after my dog was born, she didn't breed at all). Depends on whether she has interest as she breeds for health and temperament, not just to make $$.

Depends.. I have 1 shepherd/ akita mix I adopted from the shelter for $85. I have a Pit Bull I got from rescue and I paid $25. And I have a working imported long haired German Shepherd that I paid 3,000 for as a puppy plus shipping. I love all my dogs equally and I am super involved with rescues, currently have 3 fosters in my house. I believe that I got my $ worth in my gsd puppy, the amount drive and working instincts.

I paid $1200 to a breeder for my first Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and $400 for my second one who came from Cavalier Rescue USA. Both are exceptionally happy and healthy dogs. Some people will think it's absurd to pay $1200 for a pure-bred dog, but I would gladly pay whatever it costs to get a healthy dog. The best breeders out there spend a great deal of money keeping their breeding dogs in tip-top shape and they also spend a lot of money on testing for all the different issues that their breed can have.
I'm a Cavalier enthusiast and so I will continue to support my favorite breeder(s) by paying $1200 or more so that they can continue to breed the healthiest dogs possible OR I will get a lovely rescue from Cavalier Rescue USA.
Thanks for the article! I love BARK magazine.
I think this entire concept is really sad. Dogs do not "come" with a price tag. Humans put that price tag on them and they are often ridiculous and greedy requests. Dogs have no idea what money is or what their "worth" is in currency. A more "expensive" dog just equals a human trying to make money. This is one of the reasons why so many of these precious pups are rotting away in shelters. Boooo!

Our first rescue, Summer our golden/border was 100.00, the second, Missy, shepherd/cattle dog 50.00 and Buddy, pit/mix was free, since he showed up as stray. All of them are priceless in our eyes and all make great alarm systems.
When I hear people say to adopt shelter dogs it saddens me because all dogs should be rescued whether they are mutts or pedigrees from shelters or puppy mills. I have rescued 2 Havanese from families who came from puppy mills and were selling them over the internet at less than half what they paid for them because they did not want them. So I paid a little more than I would have had to pay for a mutt/pedigree at a shelter. I also purchased another Havanese AKC from a breeder/puppy mill. All 3 of my Havanese came with issues just like if you would have bought a shelter dog with issues but we have worked them out and they are the love of our lives. I truly believe any dog that comes from a shelter or puppy mill needs to be rescued and can become your beautiful fur baby if given the love and attention. P.S. We have always had dogs over the past 42 years (mutts/pedigrees) and we loved them all.
$300 and it was the best money I could ever spend, my pup did come neutered and up to date on vaccines, and being a vet I could have probably done them cheaper myself but its worth it to support the shelters/rescues who take such good care for their pups!

I just paid $50 for a big goofy 9 month old lab (mostly) mix. His young family had fallen on hard times and they were devastated to have to give Harvey up. In the week I've had him he has already paid me back just in entertainment! My 2 other dogs (both rescues) agree. The most I paid for a dog was $75. I was fostering him for a rescue group and my beagle girl and I both fell in love with him.

$3,000 and I was on a wait list for two years
Got my now-11 month old Dalmatian-Pit from the local kill shelter for $130. I imagine it was as high as it was because she was only 4 months then, but when I saw her online, I couldn't let the money get in the way -- she's my heart dog.

Sounds kind of strange but I got my puppy "on sale" from the shelter for $35 instead of the normal $70 - I think it was because I adopted in the Spring and they get overloaded then? Included shots/neuter/etc and he's the best ever!

As caretaker at an animal sanctuary, I have gotten most of our dogs for free; but I have paid for dogs to get them out of a bad situation -- $50 for a beagle whose owner said she would not hunt, and $30 and $25 for beagles at an auction. The $30 went for a dog whose new owner decided that she didn't have enough blue ticking when he saw her up close; and $25 for a beautiful beagle whom no one else bid on -- people laughed and said I could have had her for $5, but I loved her at first sight and wanted her off the auction block.

Six years ago, we paid $2500 for a scottish Deerhound puppy from a breeder across the country and then all the other costs that go with it: vet to certify eligibility to fly, the kennel to fly him in, the transport to the airport, the cost of the flight and insurance for the pup. It became my only Christmas gift for the year but he is one of the best dogs we've ever owned.

Nintendo DS Successor '3DS' AnnouncedThe oft-rumored Nintendo DS successor enables "3D effects without the need for any special glasses" and is due before the end of March 2011, Nintendo revealed today.
Currently dubbed "Nintendo 3DS," the hardware will be backwards compatible with both Nintendo DS and DSi software. In other words, expect two screens--with at least one of them touch-sensitive--along with cameras and support for downloadable games.
"'Nintendo 3DS'(temp) is going to be the new portable game machine to succeed 'Nintendo DS series', whose cumulative consolidated sales from Nintendo amounted to 125million units as of the end of December 2009," the company said today.
More details on the new hardware are slated to be unveiled at E3 2010, which kicks off June 15, 2010. Rumors that surfaced earlier this year claimed development kits for a so-called DS2 were already in the hands of various studios, including The Pokemon Company, packing a tilt-sensor and hardware "similar in power to the GameCube."

It had to be these pajama's! My dad is 91 years old and told me he wanted new pajama's but he wanted the same style he was already wearing. He read me all the details and I plugged the details into my computer and up popped the Vermont Country Store. Thank you for carrying these pajama's not only are they a classic but they are super comfortable. We got the plaids and stripes! He called me last night to tell me he received your catalogue and how wonderful it is and that I need to get one. You have made a hit with my dad! July 15, 2013
Huge Disappointment Upon the second washing a 6 to 8 inch space on both a shirt sleeve and a pant leg unraveled because of poor workmanship. In addition the material in my opinion was very poor quality At best my husband and I were very disappointed in this purchase. Definitely not the quality we expect from the Vermont Country Store.

The data could, however, be used for checking liability in the event of cases of computer crimes involving website damage.

Users are forbidden from acquiring multiple access credentials.
Personalised products: legality and protection of copyright
By offering personalised Moleskine notebooks for sale, the Artist accepts full liability in respect of the legality of the contents and the legitimacy of their creation, publishing and sale. In particular, it is forbidden to present and sell notebooks personalised using images, drawings, logos or text that breach prevailing laws or that are contrary to morality or offend public decency.
Furthermore, the Artist declares and guarantees that his/her notebooks, and any photographs and/or videos depicting them, as uploaded to the Site, are the result of his/her own original creative work and therefore that they do not constitute plagiarism of the works of others, including partial plagiarism. In particular, the Author guarantees that neither the product itself nor any photographs or videos in which it is depicted constitutes plagiarism or breach of copyright, trademarks, ornamental designs or patents of third parties. .
Similarly, the Artist declares and guarantees that the procedures for the personalisation of the notebooks offered for sale in the Moleskine Artist Marketplace do not infringe any intellectual property rights or any exclusive third party rights, including image rights and personality rights, for which in any case he has received full and unlimited authorisation from any holders.
The Artist therefore undertakes to indemnify and hold Moleskine harmless from any prejudicial consequence or third party claim that may arise as a result of any inaccuracies in declarations s/he may have made concerning the above.
Moleskine shall not conduct any moderation or prior verification with regard to the quality of the products offered for sale through the Moleskine Artist Marketplace and the contents thereof. However, it reserves the right at any time to remove images or videos uploaded to the site, of its own accord or at the request of third parties, or from Judicial Authorities, in the event of disputes relating to the legality or legitimacy of their publication.
As a consequence of the Upload to the Site of the image or video depicting the products offered for sale (the "Upload"), the Artist, as holder of the rights of publication, diffusion, economic exploitation and possibly copyright over the products created, shall grant Moleskine, absolutely free of charge, without territorial or time limits, the exercise of all rights relating to the publication of the Upload in any way or form, for the reproduction, execution and diffusion or broadcasting of the Upload, through any means and on any support, the representation in public, provision to the public in any way and form, exhibition and exposure of the Upload and the use of the Upload in the context of advertising promotions. The assignment is governed by Italian Copyright Law (Law no. 633/1941).
Presentation of the Artist and the Works
In presenting him/herself and the works s/he offers for sale, the Artist undertakes to provide truthful information, not to abuse the good faith of others through ploys or deception that could mislead the Customer or result in his/her making undesired purchases, and to provide clear and unambiguous descriptions of the conditions of sale, dispatch, price and payment and anything else necessary to inform the Customer's purchase decisions.
The Artist also undertakes not to use offensive or defamatory expressions, incitements to racial or religious hatred, and, in any case, terms that could offend public decency or morals.
Furthermore, Moleskine shall exercise no prior control over the contents of the Artist's declarations, and therefore rejects any liability in this regard. However, should any contents be found to breach laws or the above rules, Moleskine reserves the right to remove them immediately.
Means of Payment for transactions between Artists and Customers
The payment method that may currently be used is the PayPal service.
PayPal, a company from the eBay group, is a fast payment system. Once the respective option has been chosen, the Customer is redirected to the PayPal site, where s/he may access his/her own account by entering his/her email address and password. By choosing to pay with PayPal, the amount is debited directly from the Customer's credit card or prepaid card. PayPal protects the buyer's information as no financial information is transmitted. A confirmation email is sent out by PayPal for each transaction conducted in this way.
Fees for use of the Service
Artists are not charged any fee for joining the Moleskine Artist Marketplace and opening a sales area.
Moleskine applies a commission as a percentage on transactions between Artists and Customers as the fee for intermediation activities conducted through the website. This percentage is indicated in the Sales Fee Schedule prevailing at the time of the publication of the product on the Site.
Payments owed by the Artist to Moleskine shall be invoiced by the latter within ten days of the end of each month based on the data relating to transactions made during the month in question as determined from the Site or established by the bodies responsible for managing payments.
Where possible, payment of fees owed to Moleskine shall be settled directly by the companies and/or bodies managing the payment system chosen by the Customer, at the request of the Artist.
When not paid in advance through direct payment from such companies/bodies, payments owed to Moleskine shall be settled by the Artist within seven days of dispatch of the invoice by email, following the enclosed instructions.
The Artist grants Moleskine the unconditional and irrevocable right to access the data and information concerning financial transactions made through credit card, debit card and pre-paid card companies, payment services such as PayPal and other banking or financial services in order to verify the accuracy of any data provided by the Artist. The Artist henceforth authorises the aforementioned bodies and companies to provide Moleskine with all data necessary for completing any checks deemed necessary, and shall bear all associated costs in the event any irregularities should be established on his/her part .
Moleskine guarantees its own compliance with the tax laws in force in the Republic of Italy, with regard to invoicing and the collection of fees owed by the Artist in return for services provided. The Artist, in turn, shall bear sole responsibility for the laws applicable to the financial transaction between himself and the Customer, and shall indemnify Moleskine and hold it harmless from any charge that may be attributed in this regard.
Exclusion of liability
Considering the role performed by Moleskine within the scope of the financial transactions completed between Artists and Customers, Moleskine, its associated companies and its own suppliers of technological services shall be released from any liability associated with the correct fulfilment of the obligations undertaken by them or attributed to them by prevailing laws, with the sole exception of intentional wrongdoing or gross negligence attributable to Moleskine itself.
In any event, Moleskine's financial liability in respect of the Artist may not exceed the amount of the fees paid by the Artist to Moleskine over the course of the calendar year prior to the fact that gave rise to the latter's liability.
Specific sections of the website, such as the areas reserved for journalists, retailers and distributors, as well as those for requests for information (Contact us) or periodic news of the Moleskine world (Newsletter) or the possibility of working with Moleskine (Work with us) require User registration to the website in order to use the services related to each one of the above.During the course of the registration procedure for any area of the Site, confirmation will be requested of acceptance of these Terms of Use, of acknowledgement of the information provided under the terms of the Data Protection Act and of consent to the processing of personal data provided for the purposes described.Translations of this document in languages other than Italian are provided for information purposes only. In the event of discrepancies, the only legally valid and binding version governing the use of the website is the Italian version of this document.
Any dispute that may arise between Moleskine, the Artist and/or the Customer with regard to the provision of the services described above shall be submitted to Italian law and the sole jurisdiction of the Courts of Milan.
