PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/14/14 -- With the holiday retail season now in the rearview mirror, Jumio, Inc. today released its 2013 mobile commerce analysis, finding that retailers celebrated the most successful mobile holiday shopping season to date, yet still missed out on billions of dollars in sales due to the prevalence of outdated mobile payment experiences. While shoppers increasingly took to their smartphones in search of the perfect gift, lost sales were equivalent to over one-quarter (27 percent) of total mobile commerce profits, according to Jumio's analysis.
Data released by the National Retail Federation shows that holiday sales overall totaled $601.8 billion with online purchases accounting for $95.7 billion. According to IBM, 16.6 percent of online sales during the fourth quarter were made on mobile. But, according to a recent Harris poll, 47 percent of shoppers abandon purchases(1) on mobile devices due to payment friction, and the majority (57 percent) do not attempt the transaction later(2) on a computer, meaning nearly $15.9 billion was left on the table by retailers this holiday season in the form of lost sales.
"While consumers abandon mobile shopping carts for a variety of reasons, from slow network speeds to high shipping costs, the most significant among them is entirely under a retailer's control -- removing payment barriers," said Daniel Mattes, founder and CEO, Jumio. "On the whole, retailers with mobile apps have done a remarkable job with most aspects of their mobile shopping experience and this season's numbers certainly show that. However, checkout pages and payment methods have not kept pace with what smartphone devices and services can do today to streamline those processes. This cost the industry billions of dollars this holiday season. Good news is that we expect that number to diminish as new technologies take root."
In addition to revenue lost due to payment friction at the time of checkout, retailers risk losing money on future purchases as well, with 63 percent of consumers less likely to buy from the same company via other purchase channels after abandoning a mobile transaction due to a poor experience, according to the recent Harris poll. While nearly one-half of consumers (47 percent) said they failed to complete a purchase because the checkout process took too long, other reasons shoppers don't complete a mobile transaction include:
- 51 percent reported they didn't feel safe entering their credit card information
- 41 percent said the checkout was too difficult on their device
- 23 percent said they failed to complete their purchase because it would not go through
"As mobile commerce sales increase each year, retailers need to offer a mobile checkout process that caters to on-the-go shoppers," continued Mattes. "Increased security measures to protect consumers and merchants as well as more convenient payment options are essential in creating the seamless mobile experience necessary to drive purchases from the cart to the front door."

Robbers on High Street
Hey There Golden Hair
(Rocco Grecco)
US: 13 Sep 2011
UK: 13 Sep 2011
If you're looking for proof that sometimes a band just needs time to find its true identity—and time and patience being in short supply in today's instant gratification, buzzblog music culture—allow me to present Robbers on High Street's third album, Hey There Golden Hair. When most of the world last checked in with ROHS, way back in 2005, the band was riding the success of their debut single, "Japanese Girls", an enjoyable, if undistinguished, slab of mid-oughts indie, notable chiefly for its impression of a poor man's Spoon. 2007 saw the band team up with composer Daniele Luppi for Grand Animals, an album that hinted at greater sonic ambition, but still nothing that would've led the world to believe the Robbers would be more than a workmanlike, mid-tier indie fivesome.
That pretty much gets you caught up, and now I can tell you that the Robbers on High Street have spent the last four (!) years getting their house in order (a new label, a steady line-up), recognizing their strengths (late '60s and '70s AM pop and British garage/psych), and now, with Hey There Golden Hair, delivering an unlikely gem of a record nearly a decade into their career.
While the band will never entirely shake the Spoon references—frontman Ben Trokan's uncanny vocal similarity to Britt Daniel ensures that—Robbers on High Street are now full-fledged, confident purveyors of swooning pop and psychedelia. Starting with the swooning opener, "Hollow Hill", ROHS prove themselves to be the pop craftsmen no one ever considered them to be… and they address those detractors, too, on both the jaunty, straight-outta-'71 comeback of "Second Chance" and the bright-horns-as-middle-fingers triumph of "The Unbelievers" ("Why you gotta waste your time?"). Elsewhere, the band dives into gentle, lush psychedelia ("Crystal Run" and "Electric Eye", both of which get a bump from the Daptone horn section), cocktail hour strings on "Happy Horses Always", mariachi on "Face In The Fog" and even a little spy-movie noir on the sinister, throbbing "All Wires Are Crossed". Really, the lone misstep is the stripped-down, urgent "Monkey", which doesn't fit the album's largely joyous, kitchen-sink pop vibe. And while you can't always tell what Trokan is going on about ("Supernatural Shivers", eh?) the band is clearly having a blast, no longer worried about keeping up with the indie-rock Joneses. Here's to taking the time to find and follow one's muse. In today's chew-'em-up-and-spit-'em-out music cycle, Hey There Golden Hair is a minor triumph.

Jade Goody's Happy Reunion
Jade Goody was seen picking up her boyfriend Jack Tweed from prison this morning. After a few hugs and smooches, the couple headed to a toy store to pick up some presents for Jade's boys who have not seen Jack for awhile.
Jack, 21, has been granted early release today despite being jailed for 18 months last September for attacking a teenager with a golf club. Jade, who has been battling cervical cancer, recently said she was excited about seeing her beau again: "I can't wait to see him. It'll be bliss." She added: "I got word of his release date last week and spent all last weekend preparing for his return. I've been covering cushions and I've also painted my toilet walls bright pink and put a black chandelier in there."
Mum of 5-year-old Bobby Jack and 4-year-old Freddie from her relationship with Jeff Brazier, is undergoing chemotherapy after being told she has a 40 per cent chance of surviving cervical cancer. She recently spoke of her love for Jack, saying: "I need him now more than ever."
We recently posted some heartwarming pictures of Jade and her family enjoying a fun day at the beach.

The blues don't bother me Lyrics by The Blues Brothers
The blues don't bother me by The Blues Brothers
If you're wonderin'
What's all the noise
I'm in the backroom
With the girls and boys
Were' discussing the blues
And they don't seem to see
The blues is all I play
The blues don't bother me
When I was a little boy
Sittin' on my papa's knee
I coulden't a been no older than two or three
He said I am a blues man
You're gonna take after me
After me
The blues is my companion
The blues don't bother me
They don't bother me
No they don't
When I go to bed at night
I'll throw on a record or two
If I didn't have these blues
I woulden't know what to do
I need them to soothe me
To ease my misery
The blues is my companion
They don't bother me
They don't bother me
The blues don't bother me
They don't bother me
keeps me company
I got the blues
Relieves my misery
Keeps me company
The blues don't bother me
I got the blues

Jings! Crivvens! Could this be the end of the Swingometer!
Why not just tha actual election results?
Polls have the tendency to swing an election and ARE NOT the results. Thus they are misleading b/c journalists rarely understand statistical methods and even rarer yet report them accurately.
I assume it is after voting closes? Since the publication of exit polls taken before voting closes is prohibited by the Representation of the People Act, 2000.
Moreover I am curious if they will ask the basic questions ( http://www.ncpp.org/?q=node/4 ). Or will they just assume that the polls are accurate and engange in poor reporting?
http://www.pollster.com/faq/faq_questions_about_exit_polls_1.php has a decent discussion and decent comments.
Very handy for those who live in that area and don't have access to TV or Internet.
Something about that image makes me think maybe they had this idea for the last election too.
The caption on the original article at BBC says this is a mockup of what it might look like, and not an actual snap from last time around. They probably just superimposed bars on a picture of St Stephen's tower at New Year.
Something about that image makes me think maybe they had this idea for the last election too.
Nope, the image is a mockup. They've used the last election's results since (obviously) they don't know the results for the coming election.
note that this headline correctly calls the tower the "tower". "big ben" is the bell.
and now to straighten out every time someone says "ironic" when they only mean "novel coincidence".
They probably used the results from the last election to avoid having to suggest one of the parties winning, which the others could call a bias. The BBC is legally bound to be unbiased about all political issues. Doesn't really work but they do try.
I'm voting Lava-Tory…
NBC and MSNBC did something vaguely similar in 2008 with the US Presidential results, using window-washing rigs and long fabric banners on the side of 30 Rock.
Granted, projecting results onto the side of Big Ben is cooler and geekier than fabric on a skyscraper, but it'll be tough to outdo the giant map MS/NBC had on the Rockefeller Plaza ice rink. THAT was awesome.
I have a question Cory- how is this cool? There is an inbuilt biasing when you show "real-time" results. For instance, if there is an influx of heavily conservative votes in the morning from retirees, many younger and liberal students might be intimidated from voting as the lead might look insurmountable. Voting tends to be done anonymously and in a blind so as to not influence the voters and the RATE of voting. This looks to be a tool reminiscent of black voter intimidation in the South of the USA…
I don't think you understand what's going to happen. By "real time" they mean it will show the results as they come in from each electorate. Between the time when the polls close and the first results come in, the results of an exit poll will be projected instead. Nothing will be projected until nobody is able to vote.
Unlike the US, we only have one time zone, and the results only begin to come in after the polls close. We can never have the situation in 2000, when the west-coasters didn't bother voting Democrat because the Republicans had the early lead.
No, no, no! The results will be projected well after the polls close, after the votes are counted and constituency results announced.
Incidentally, I like the way the article pedantically mentions that it's St.Stephen's Tower, which houses the bell called 'Big Ben', but then mentions that the exit poll result will appear on Big Ben….
'…a tool reminiscent of black voter intimidation', who's tool would that be anyway? The impartial BBC? Sorry I cant work out the menace behind all this.
Its a nice idea, relax…
Straight outta Max Headroom! Now all we need is Reg and Big Time TV to give us the real story…
It would be great if they were project the popular vote rather than seats won – they'd be very different!
e.g. the Lib Dems need nearly twice as many votes to get the same amount of seats as Labou.
"Its a nice idea, relax…"
Was that a sign off? Heh.
A tool for intimidation would be what I spelled out as a potential- show voters that a majority are voting a certain way before the polls close. For instance, you are getting off work and intend to vote but see that the party you would cast for is 30 points behind. Why bother?
"The Columbus Free Press found that white Republican suburbanites, equipped with a surplus of machines, averaged waits of only 22 minutes, while black urban Democrats averaged 3 hours and 15 minutes. "The allocation of voting machines in Franklin County was clearly biased against voters in precincts with high proportions of African-Americans," concluded Walter Mebane Jr., a government professor at Cornell University who conducted a statistical analysis of the vote in and around Columbus. Black voters also faced artificial barriers like the "right church, wrong pew" gambit when they showed up at the correct room to vote, but were not steered to the correct table for their precinct."
This type of tactic is one of intimidation and use of "denying hope".
If this is used only during tabulation then fine. If there are votes that are filed later then it could lend to someone not voting due to 'why bother'.
Not so far off is it?
Sincerely, Poly
Not so far off, except for the fact that it doesn't apply to this situation at all.
We don't do voting machines here. Period. Every vote is handled out by a person (often a little old lady) to the voter, who takes it into a booth, marks the X, folds, and puts it into a box. Only when the day ends and the voting has concluded – after 10pm – are the boxes opened up and the votes counted. This is the traditional Election Night coverage on the BBC including the Swingometer.
There is no potential for this as a tool of intimidation since it won't be present until after the polls have closed.
Any ideas for a place to sit and watch this as it happens?
I can't think of anywhere I'd like to be in the middle of the night that I can see Big Ben (or St. Stephen's Tower) from. I was thinking perhaps Primrose Hill, but from a quick Google of the view from the top I think you'd need some binoculars to see anything.

Student suffers severe effects of brown recluse spider bite
Leigh Goessl
Mar 15, 2012 in
Media reports have emerged that describe a terrifying experience a 21-year-old student suffered after being on the receiving end of a brown recluse spider bite on her neck.
This harrowing experience began in Sept. 2011 when Nikki Perez, a student at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, was in the Amarillo Airport in Texas with her mother and boyfriend.
Perez was waiting for a flight when she suffered the spider bite. Her mother, a nurse by profession, was with her at the time and immediately identified the spider as a brown recluse.
The Daily Mail
carried photos and a description of Perez's frightening experience.
"I felt a nasty pinch when I touched my neck," she said. "Next, I felt something crawling over my face and over my eye. I yelled for [my boyfriend] to help me, and when he saw the spider crawling over my face, he swatted it to the floor, and stamped on it."
Over the next several days the reaction to the bite was severe, and included a large amount of swelling in her face.
Perez spent several days in the hospital to receive IV treatments of steroids to reduce the swelling. After her release from the hospital, her condition worsened.
began with the rotting based in her ear; Perez needed surgery and a skin graft.
"I was going blind ... it was terrifying," Perez told The Daily Mail. "It was spreading all over my head, which actually felt like a bit of a relief as the pain was so concentrated behind my ear."
Web Pro News
discussed Perez's experience and noted brown recluse spiders are one of the most dangerous of arachnid.
A bite from a
brown recluse spider
can cause incapacitating symptoms or can be life-threatening. In this respect, Perez is said to be lucky the necrosis did not spread.
A report published by
ABC News
, however, shares a different perspective.
Rick Vetter, a well-known expert on the brown recluse spider and a research associate in the department of entomology at the University of California-Riverside, said media reports often use "scare tactics," and indicated "90 percent of the time a bite causes nothing more than a red mark on the skin." Vetter goes on to say that Perez's case looked severe, but says this is not the norm that occurs with this type of spider bite.
Others interviewed by ABC, who have been bitten, shared their experiences and expressed the seriousness of these kinds of spider bites.
Reportedly there has been an increase in brown recluse spider bites; this is attributed to climate changes and the spiders taking up residence in a larger geographical area, said a
spring 2011 study

Additional Notes
Complaint: Company refuses to send required 401k rollover forms needed for tax purposes. Been asking for over 2 months (since 02/02/2016) to get Disbursement Statements and other Rollover documents from Aon. Talked to, by my count 20 different people now. 6 of those were managers. I've escalated my case on 4 separate occasions. I've made 3 formal complaints that have been "reviewed" by their team. I have no evidence that anything has been done to send me these forms. I specifically need the Disbursement statement for the Roth 401k and 401k forms.
Desired Settlement: Want 401k and Roth 401k Disbursement forms sent to me, please.
Business Response:
The rollover request has been completed and the issue resolved.

Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/08/03) */ We have been in touch with Mr. ***** and he has indicated that this issue has been resolved. Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/08/05) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) No unfortunately it has not been resolved. On August 3 I received a telephone call from from Hewitt communicating me that my problem of me and my wife being dropped from the medical insurance was solved and that my wife was now covered but when ten minutes later my wife called Blue Cross Blue Shield of California to check for her coverage she was informed that her coverage was dropped as of the 1st of August. I called back Hewitt and ask to talk to Hewitt but was informed that she was busy and that she was going to call me back. I waited two hours and not receiving any phone from her I call back Hewitt, they then told me that now **** ( no last name) was going to take care of my problem and he promised to send me documentation in the post proving that they communicated to Blue Cross as to July 15th the me and my wife should be covered. So my wife is still without medical insurance coverage as of today having to have to cancelled both her doctor and dentist appointments because of this. Final Consumer Response /* (2000, 10, 2015/08/06) */ 8-6-15 Sent via email: ******, This problem finally has been resolved as of yesterday in which my wife found out that her medical insurance with Blue Cross has been reinstated. I appreciate your help and the help of **** from AON that help us resolved this problem. Regards ******* *****

Complaint: Hewitt continued insurance auto-withdrawals from my account 3 months after my insurance was canceled. They have not paid me back. My COBRA insurance coverage ended in March 2015 and Hewitt continued to bill me for 3 additional months until I contacted them. They said they would correct it and send me a refund of approximately $1500. I've called 6 times to inquire about the refund and have been told "it's processing" and it's "in the mail" only to find out it was never sent to me. Finally when they refiled the refund - they sent it to an old address that wasn't on file. I waited weeks. Finally after never receiving they indicated it was mailed to the wrong address. NO ONE EVER CALLED ME OR RESENT IT! They promised it was in the mail last week - 8-days later - nothing was received. I called back again today and it hasn't been sent out! This is illegal and fraudulent. I've been put in a financial hardship and have suffered because of their error.
Desired Settlement: I want an immediate refund or auto-deposit back into my account. If I do not receive payment by the end of the week I will seek legal counsel for the financial and emotional hardship/ stress this has put on me and my family.
Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1000, 8, 2015/07/13) */ Our Benefits Center spoke with Ms. ***** on July 1, 2015, and Ms. ***** indicated she had received her refund check in the mail.

Complaint: AON is the designated representative of ATT to allocate ATT/Retirees Health Reimbursement Account funding. They seem to be using a churning practice That is not my term, but their representatives have used it and I believe it refers to trying to convince a medicare recipient to take their supplement policy over some other companies? In so doing they are holding back my HRA funds that I am entitled to from ATT as a qualified 31 year former employee(retired).
Desired Settlement: Simply to access MY HRA that I am entitled to for reimbursement of qualified health expenses incurred by me personally........
Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/03/17) */ Mr. ********'s concerns appear to relate to his eligibility for coverage under his former employer's Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), an employer-sponsored ERISA plan. The Aon Retiree Health Exchange has no discretionary authority over that plan. We recommend that Mr. ******** go through the HRA's escalation procedures to address any concerns that he has. Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/03/24) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) Absolutely no action taken by AON on my behalf. They are my source of distribution for reimbursement of HRA funds and should be supporting me to correct the ongoing attempt to persuade me to use one or more services for my Medicare Supplement Program, referred to as churning. HELP!!!!!!!!!! Final Business Response /* (4000, 10, 2015/04/08) */ Aon administers the benefits under Mr. ********'s former employer's Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) at the direction of his former employer. Aon has no discretionary authority over that plan or its eligibility provisions. As noted in our previous response, we recommend that Mr. ******** follow the HRA's escalation procedures to address his plan eligibility concerns. He can find these procedures in the Plan Summary Plan Description or by contacting the AT&T Benefits Center at XXX-XXX-XXXX. Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 12, 2015/04/09) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) According to my ATT Benefits coordinator there is an appeal process that you either would not, or could not make me aware of. ATT Benefits, of which I was unaware still existed, is going to forward that appeal form and I will follow that process. In the mean time YOU (AON-Hewitt) are still responsible for the distribution of my HRA. Therefore I DO NOT consider this matter closed. Thank you, ***

Complaint: I cannot get AON to properly send the November and December reimbursements for my HRA.I have had to call for reimbursement corrections or assistance Aon handles HEALTH INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENTS for State Farm Insurance retirees.The retiree pays the health insurance co.each month,the insurance co.will notify AON,and the AON will reimbuse the retiree. Sate Farm gives $2400 per employee/or dependent each year to help pay health ins.premiums. The reimbursement should occur monthly. My monthly health ins.premium is $208.84 and wife,*****'s is $127.00..my prescription drug ins. is $22.80 monthly,and wife's is $16.30. I cannot get them to send the $127.00 due from nov/dec.
Desired Settlement: AON needs to honor their obligations.I have sent them,by mail and spoken to associates each month over the past 6 months,trying to gather each months facts and properly send us what State Farm has promised as part of my company benefits. No one seems to listen or know how to keep the facts straight from month to month. Finally last wednesday,12-10-14,I asked to speak to a management person and was told none was available to speak to clients.I was told a management person would contact me by phone on thursday or friday. Today,wednesday 12-17-14,I am still waiting. Will you help us?

Complaint: I got the wrong heathpln not what was adver. I cancelled & requested a new one. The price quoted was $183.10 per mth $188.50 was withdrawn. On 10/14/2014 I enrolled Med.Adv. UHC Preferred Secure Option. According to Aon's website it is listed as UHC plan four star ratedout of five, not a third party plan. My doctor ok'd it, I however received info from Preferred Care Partners. nothing on Aon's website indicated nor was ever disclosed to me who or what they were. I asked the rep to cancel it on 11/5/14 when I got a barage of mail and an ins. card from pcp. After researching other plans I requested to be enrolled in Medigap plan on 1/6/14. On 11/10/14 the second enrollment was completed. I was asked to pay $183.10 the 1st paymeny for Jan. 1st 2015. on 11/12/14 a bank draft was made for $188.50, I was never told that the amount was other than what i authorised. i believe there is misrepresentation. I am a retiree, and a senior a former employee of AT&T and Aon was hired by them to help us find a cost effective healthcare plan.For the most part their cusomer service reps are not very helpful, I had to wait for up to an hour they hang up. I have nothing to show, not even an e-mail confirming the payment they withdrew from my bank. I need your help in resolving this issue.
Desired Settlement: I would like clarification regarding the rate quoted and listed on Aon's website and the amount they wthdrew from my bank. Also confirmation that I am enrolled in Florida Blue Medigap Ins plan. and not to wait till the last minute to find out I did no get what I agreed to purchase. I appreciate any help you give. Thanks

Mallya: Battle for fifth will remain tight
Force India team principal Vijay Mallya believes the battle for fifth place in the Constructors' Championship will go down to the wire. The Silverstone squad are currently sixth place in the standings, but they are just two points behind fifth-placed McLaren with still seven races to go. It has been a pretty even battle between the two teams so far and Mallya believes the race will continue to be tight until the season finale in Abu Dhabi. "We're now sixth in the standings and coming away from Spa with five points was a good exercise in damage limitation," he told the official Force India website. "It means we are only two points away from fifth place with all to play for in...

Melinda has taken a lot of heat on this season of Idol for choosing "old" songs over fresh, young material. I've made the complaint myself on several occasions, but over the weekend, I started wondering if I was being fair to the show's "resident pro" (as Randy has taken to disdainfully calling her). Well, after a morning of Amazon-ing and Google-ing, adding and dividing, I'm pleased to report that I've got some hard numbers for you, PopWatchers. I tallied the average year of initial release for the 10 final songs and three semifinal numbers performed by Melinda, Blake and Jordin this season, and not surprisingly, Blake ended up with the youngest average song (1983) followed by Jordin (1981), and finally Melinda (1971). What's especially interesting is that Blake managed to claim the "most youthful" crown in spite of the fact that he performed the single oldest song of the final three, "Mack the Knife" (initially released in 1925). On the flip side, Melinda gets stuck with the "Oldie Oldenstein" label even though her cover of Bon Jovi's 2005 hit "Have a Nice Day" is more recent than anything Jordin or Blake has tackled. How do ya like them apples?

text: I'm having great difficulty installing cygwin ports. I got gedit working once then tried to install something else (nautilus I think) and then nothing was working. So I started from scratch and now can't get it to work again. gcalctool seems to work but gedit or nautilus will just hang after running them (I can see bonobo-activation-server and gconfd-2 start after 15 secs). I've tried to write out c:\cygwin and start from scratch using different methods but can't seem to get it to work. Is there any documentation on the minimum required components, etc to install. Any documentation/help/walk thrus out there? gedit and nautilus are the ones I would really like to use. I've even tried to download a complete cygwin mirror and the entire cygwin_ports, and then installed EVERYTHING - no good. Thanks in Advance.

The Lehman Brothers estate has at last found a buyer for its 20% stake in D.E. Shaw Group.
The only one of six firms invited to bid on the passive ownership interest in the $32 billion quantitative hedge fund to show interest in it, Affiliated Managers Group, has offered more than $500 million for it, The Wall Street Journal reports. The Lehman estate, which has been shopping the stake for more than six months, has accepted the offer in principle, although the deal could still fall apart.
Should the sale be finalized—and the completion isn't imminent and requires the approval of D.E. Shaw founder David Shaw—the price would be at the low end of what the estate hoped to fetch for the stake. Lehman paid about $800 million for it in 2007, about a year before it collapsed.
The terms of that 2007 agreement were a sticking point for several of the other firms invited to bid, among them private-equity firms Blackstone Group, Foundation Capital Partners and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts: Lehman received its share of the firm's profits but had no voice in the firm's management, nor a seat on its board. And the value of hedge-fund stakes has fallen precipitously since their heyday before the financial crisis.
AMG's bid would value New York-based D.E. Shaw at more than $2 billion.
Prides Crossing, Mass.-based AMG invests in asset managers and owns stakes in a number of prominent hedge funds, among them AQR Capital Management, BlueMountain Capital Management and ValueAct Capital Management.

I was very pleased with my "Overstock shopping" experience. From finding the right product, comparing prices and selection/payment.....it was all done with just a few key strokes. Our daughter was so happy to get this cookware set....the exact one she wanted. I too have Paula Deen's cookware and I would recommend it....as well as Overstock. I look forward to shopping for Christmas and other special occasions thru this online site. A++++

I sent these as a Christmas gift & we own the same cookware too. They look great, love the glass lids, lasts for years through daily use if you hand wash and food does not stick. The gift I sent had a problem with the "Every day pan" (large wok like skillet) had scratches on the surface after ONE use even though plastic utensils where used.

We had been using older cookware in our kitchen and knew it was time for a change. My wife and I were very impressed with the Rachel Ray cookware in the stores and decided to buy ourselves some for Christmas. Overstock.com had the best deal on a 12 piece set. The cookware is high quality riveted attachments and super design. Remember you must use anodized cookware on a ceramic cooktop. We love the cookware
The key to buying the best cookware is first considering your needs.

Hi, and welcome to my "Healing With Coconuts" website.
Most people know very little about coconut oil and certainly are not aware of the monumental benefits it has for your health, beauty and a multitude of other uses. For example, I bet you didn't know that coconut oil is a fabulous teeth whitener? In fact, I bet you are unaware of the many benefits of using coconut oil as part of your daily lifestyle. My intent with this site is to introduce people to the health benefits of coconut oil which I have seen in my life.
The tree of life.
Coconut oil grows on a coconut palm tree. It was given the name "The tree of life" because it provides so many health benefits, so it is used not just to eat but as providing a whole array of health and medicinal benefits. It's also referred its scientific name of "Cocos Nucifera." No matter what you call it, it's a super-food worth checking out.
Coconut oil is widely respected as a natural healer:
Early Spanish explorers discovered and named the coconut for coco, which in Spanish translates to "monkey face," because the coconut is similar to a monkeys face, and head. Coconuts contain a large percentage of fiber, vitamins, and minerals and are highly nutritious not to mention tasty. The populations of Asian and the Pacific rim have been using coconut oil as part of their traditional medicine tool kit for centuries. Coconut oil possesses healing properties that well exceeds any other dietary oil. Luckily modern medical science is now starting to realize the healing benefits that the Spanish have known for decades.
It's a drupe, not a nut.
One thing I discovered when I did my research on the coconut, was that it not a nut despite having a word "nut" in its name. It's actually called a drupe which is a type of fruit in which an outer fleshy part surrounds a shell with a seed inside. The coconut plant is very versatile. The young green ones are the best sources of benefits because they contain the freshest meat and water. Coconuts are not only used for food and medicine but the fiber can be spun into rope, and the hard shell can be turned into charcoal. If need be, you can also use it as a handy flotation device.
Though the origin of the coconut may be vague it is now grown in more than 70 countries throughout the world and not just the tropical ones. In fact, the UK and the USA have become suppliers of coconut oil worldwide. Everyday, new benefits and uses are discovered, many of which are outlined on this site.
The healthiest oil on earth.
The coconut oil has been described as "the healthiest oil on earth." There was a time when coconut oil was dismissed because of the high content of saturated fat. Many believe that saturated fat clogs the arteries, but in the case of coconut oil, this was not found to be the case. Serious studies with thousands of test subjects proved that to be wrong. We also know that a population called the "Tokelauans," who inhabit the South Pacific, consume over 60 % of their calories from coconuts and are the biggest consumers of saturated fat in the world. They are also in excellent health and have no evidence of heart disease. Natives have been known to spread coconut oil over their skin as a natural sun protection product reducing the harmful effects of the sunshine on the skin.
I welcome you to explore this site and learn more about how to incorporate this miracle oil as part of your daily health routine. I am sure you are very curious by now on how to do that!
Please feel free to leave comments and ask questions- my goal is to teach (OK and covert!) as many people as I can into using coconut oil daily as part of a healthy regime. Please feel free to share your experiences with other site visitors.
To a healthier you!

FRIDAY FUNNY: The Conference Call Nightmare
This amusing video from Leadercast captures all of the really annoying things about conference calls..."struggling with your access code, the dropped calls, the person on mute, the person not paying any attention, and of course everyone talking over everyone else."
FRIDAY FUNNY: The Conference Call Nightmare
Posted by Heidi Schwartz
In the business world, being able to communicate anytime, anywhere has always been an essential concept. Until recently, the only way to do this in a practical, successful manner was to set up a meeting in person.
While these face to face meetings offered the most reliable exchanges, they were often limited by logistical issues (little things like time and money). With the vast improvements of technology, professionals have entered the age of the conference call…the perfect solution to the need to meet. Alas, the perfect solution has its own hangups, so to speak.
Leadercast has been creating an Internet buzz with this amusing video that captures all of the really annoying things about conference calls…"struggling with your access code, the dropped calls, the person on mute, the person not paying any attention, and of course everyone talking over everyone else."
The leadership development company commissioned the comedy duo of Tripp & Tyler to create this hilarious take on a conference call in real life. Check it out below, if you haven't seen it already.
