Rated 2 out of 5Â by Jonc not sure about these yet I like the look and the size is right on for my feet, width is perfect. Everyone says they are painful to wear because the nubs, they are right, these things, if you wear them barefoot will kill your feet, alot of people say they wear socks with them, I was under the impression that that was a total fashion no-no, wearing socks with sandals is supposedly horrible, but its the only way to wear these for sure, the material that the nubs is made of is way too stiff, after an hour barefoot in them i took them off and went barefoot for real to ease the pain. Too bad because they are the best looking slides they make in my opinion. June 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 All Day i Dream About Sports.. Adidas adidas are by far the best slides you can buy. the nike slides will rip after time, and slip off your feet. Adidas slides are tight, comfortable and will very much message your feet :) . i wear them after soccer games when my feet are just killing me. (i play diffrent clubs all the time so i am always playing soccer). And within fifteen-twenty minutes my feet feel amazing! i have had mine for about a year and they still look great. You can honostly wear them anywhere and they look GREAT WITH ANY OUTFIT. i hope my review will help you buy them if you are still second guessing them. If i ever make it to premier league. i will be advertising these for sure. December 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kamikazmik May Take Time Received a pair many years ago as a gift. At first, they stung my feet like no other! But i was determined to wear these since the gift was from a dear loved one... after a week or two they increasingly felt better until they felt GREAT! Wearing basic sandals won't cut it anymore. I continue to buy these exclusively and wear them often! If your feet hurt at first, that means they are working! The bottom of your feet are in worse shape than you thought! They NEED to be constantly massaged! Keep wearing them and soon they will feel amazing, take my word for it! A++ 5-STAR Sandals! July 13, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ADi daAhs Feet Feel Fantastique! I'm not a doctor but I have Plantar Fasciitis and it has wreaked havoc on my productivity and overall health because I didn't feel like doing much of anything which involved mobility except for what I had to do, like work. These slides have helped my feet tremendously on the road to recovery, they hurt at first but after a few days your feet will become completely satisfied wearing them. Sandals, especially flip-flops are terrible for ailing feet but these are a different animal, I wouldn't suggest somebody wear them all over but they're great for little trip to the store or a house shoe. Get 'em, you'll love 'em! September 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Railroader The best sandals I've purchased. You guys out did yourselves. By far the best footwear that I have purchased. Can't say enough of these sandals. My feet feel great after wearing these sandals. Thanks people. I'm thinking of buying a second pair. September 19, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Nou :) Must have I originally bought these shoes because I noticed that everyone had them and I like to stay on top of trends. It turns out that these shoes aren't only fashionable and popular, but they are extremely comfortable. In terms of size, they seemed to fit just fine. I am very happy with my decision to buy these. The frills are very soothing, especially when you are standing for a while...a lot of people complain about how it hurts and it's uncomfortable, but honestly, like any new pair of shoes you just have to grow into them. I wear them around my dorm room, sometimes I take it outside and I also use them as shower shoes. I love how they literally take the shape of your foot...definitely the best pair of slippers I've bought. December 11, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5Â by honey girl AMAZING!! I have had my Adidas Slides for two years now! they are by far my favorite shoes I have ever owned. I wear them shopping, to school, after sports practices, all the time. Everyone is say you're supposed to wear them without socks, but I have always worn mine with them. I honestly don't think they look awful with socks, especially since everyone I know wears Slides with them. I wear these 5+ days a week, so they've had rough wear. They have just began to tear towards the top, again, I've had them two years, and some of the little nubs are falling off, but considering how often I wear them, and that I am out-growing them, it isn't awful. I would never hesitate to buy these shoes. March 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by marksr Adissage First time I put these on they hurt my feet . Now I want them on all the time. A quick shake and the beds are dry these are great shower shoes at a great price May 8, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Yeti Great for a month... I got these about 40 days ago, after the first week the nubs got soft enough to wear in long durations. The problm i have and why i gave these a poor rating is because the left foot, 70% of the nubs have come off. I can probably shake the shoe and watch the other 30% of them come off. The right foot is fine, all the nubs are still intact. For 30 bucks id rather pay to get punched in the junk. I have purchased Addidas products from shoes, jumpers, shirts, jackets, hats for almost 20 years and these are no where near the quality the Addidas brand is, or was? August 10, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by cngmom OUCH! The "full-length massage footbed" feels like needles in your foot! NOT comfortable, sent them back! July 10, 2011

Rated 1 out of 5Â by uncle Never Again The description of Adissage Slides says "goes straight for the aah!" when it should say "goes straight for the OUCH!!!" These slides feel OK when you try them on but, you can't walk any distance in them without getting sore feet. My nephew and I bought these for a trip to Florida. We had to wear socks to feel comfortable which kind of defeats the purpose of a sandal and ended up with holes in the socks from the little rubber nobs rubbing as we walked. I am going to try and return them to the store where I bought them and will never again buy a shoe with a MASSAGING SOLE. April 27, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5Â by pachi adidas there just great to me,my dad and mom always told me its the way to go.what i think is that im always feeling great and cumfy.they last a while but i like to say they look good. fabric is awesome and i recommend them. if you have some money spend it on adidas.you'll feel excited.im likeing them right now typing this review. January 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by wingirl They are great!! I bought this item for my son. He is 14 and he absolutely loves it!. I tried it on and it feels soooooo good. They are really great! July 21, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by aurum Natural Massage I love the cushiony feel. It's as if I'm being massaged while walking on air! Also, purchased pair for my age 12 soccer superstar July 13, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 Nice purchase I own many pair of adidas slides. They are a must have easy on easy off and stylish sporty. I work out a lot so they work for me. May 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sean Lasted Over 5 Years I've had these sandals for over 5 years. I've gone through many pairs of sandals of various brands and styles and most don't survive more than one summer. But these Adissage ones have lasted me for many years and I still wear them all the time. Yes, many of the massaging nubs have worn off, but the sandals are still comfortable. In fact, I would suggest that they feel even more comfortable broken down to this level. I'm so convinced by the quality of these sandals, that I'm ordering 10 pairs and plan to have them as my only sandals for the rest of my life. They're perfect! August 22, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Siouxsie-Q Awesome Gift! I actually bought these slides over a year ago for my brother for christmas. He LOVES them. He wears them every day. He says they are the most comfortable shoes he's ever worn, and they still look as good as the day I bought them. Great buy! Great Value! October 16, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LivinLarge Foot massage relief I have been a fan of these slides for a number of years. They are great on tired feet after a long day of being in shoes or sneakers. These also once came in a thong version which were also outstanding. I would love it if they brought that style back! March 7, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ANONOMYS these are great these slides are by far the best slides so far. it fits all most perfict on my feet. it dosent run to big or small. the only down side is after a while the nubs start to hurt your feet. and its best to wear them with socks June 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Feetfeeling Good Nice on the Beach They feel great whether walking on the beach or the street. They are comfortable. October 3, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Garii Mi Slides I love these slides i wear them all the time i actually have two pairs there amazing i just love how they fit, even my mom loves them and shes not really a slide person. Her favorite feature about them would have to be the full-length massage footbed. I know people have issues with the beads coming off in what not but i personally feel like its all about how you walk in them because mine are great. No complaints on this end. March 7, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LittleNate! Great Purchase!!! This would be a great gift for fathers day!! Fits nicely and is comfortable!! I have some and my mom loves them!! She even bought her own pair!!! June 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Too tall Excellent fit I am very happy I am very pleased with my purchase. The slides fits perfectly. May 15, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CodyRTrainHard Awesome Purchase Fits great and feels great. All that matters. January 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Reign Man Quality Foot massage sandal. Slightly better than normal sandals because little rubber dots on the bottom press against feet. I wear black socks with the black colored shoes. White socks with these looks awkward. Wearing with bare feet is also a fine option. $30 for sandals a bit pricey... if I ran track or worked on my feet all day these would be sensible to wear afterwards for massage effect. April 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by G-Money sports massage for your feet! I am an avid golfer and I have about 4 pairs of these - they feel great after a long day on your feet. I agree with the previous reviewer that they give your feet a workout...but I think of it as the difference between an invigorating hard sport massage and a relaxing swedish one. If you are looking for the swedish variety I would go for the adissage withfitFoam. April 30, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Prince De Reek Great Shoe These slides are very comfortable and the massage points feel very good on your feet. These slippers compliment any outfit and for thirty dollars they are very affordable. I had these slides for about two and a half years and they were getting small so I recently ordered a new pair. I love all adidas products and I would reccomend these slides to anyone. September 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by J dawg Feels Great Wear these after basketball and they feel amazing. A little hard at 1st but u get used to them. December 18, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Graeme's Mom Great shoe My son loves these shoes. They are just the thing the "in crowd" is wearing at his school. He loves them paired with knee high socks and long basketball shorts. I wore them to the mailbox and found they were exceptionally comfortable. However, my son insisted I not buy myself a pair as that would be "too weird." Overall great shoe. April 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ManUtdFan A Comfortable Purchase. . . Bought 1 size bigger on my Adissages and dont regret it. It massages my feet right after a good workout. Could of bought the clear ones but the black one is good enough and for a lesser price. Went for 1 size bigger just to make sure that my whole feet stays is been massage by the all the prongs that are provided on my slides. March 13, 2011
Rated 4.2 out of 5Â by 158 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Adidas Slides Don't like them I bought a pair of these a couple of years ago, did not like the massage footbed, but it wore in, and I ended up liking them a lot. The new ones I bought recentely have a much more agressive massage footbed and I find it very touncomfortable. I don't like them and won't wear them unless they are my last choice and won't buy another pair. I would probably return them if I could find a good replacement. September 10, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Big B Disappointing After about a month almost a quarter of the little prongs where falling off and these sandals destroyed my socks when I wore them with the sandals. Also once I wore them off the practice field which is muddy it was impossible to get the dirt from between the prongs. I like the look but not the prongs. December 7, 2010
Rated 2 out of 5Â by hbdub Disappointed There sandals are all show. The messaging prongs in the foot bed fell out after wearing them for just the first few times. I HIGHLY DON'T suggest anyone who walks a lot without socks to wear these sandals, I walked around 2 miles in them and my feet felt like they were on fire, not a good experience. August 21, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Marko the great great flip flop I wear my flips alot around the house and in the outback; and they have lasted four years and are still going . Time for a new pair but; will keep the old flips around for sand and mud. The massage has worn out but a few remain. Get these dirty and then wash in machine and they are new all over. December 11, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Big mof Good for sports This slipper is really good for athletes. It comforts your foot easily and is very flexible to yout fitting. It works as massage for my feet and it gives them a rest. If you are a athlete I recommend this shoe. Age 14 Size 17 September 10, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 May Take Some Time Of Getting Used To I bought a pair a few days ago at first the massaging nubs throughout the footbed really hurt my feet but I continued to wear them by the 3rd day they still hurt my feet but not as much as they did on the 1st day and now they started to feel great on my feet. If your feet hurt at first that is to be expected since your feet ain't used to wearing them yet but give it some time your feet will get used to them and than in no time they will start to feel great on your feet. A+++ 5 Star Sandals June 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by RJRivera Excellent feeling on your feet. The first time I these wore these slides, I found hem a bit uncomfortable. After a while my feet started feeling much better. It's like having a constantly soothing massage under your feet. Wear them a little loose. September 10, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by BigMacSauce massage slides I like the massage part except after a while i have to take them off because they start to hurt my feet. I prefer to were them with socks but i do admit that they are pretty stylish. October 14, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5Â by DIGDOG GREAT thse sandals were really a great purchace and I dont regret it at all. They are very comfortable and the size was right on . They look stylish and I couldn't be happier !!! June 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 WONDERFULL!!! I am on my feet all day long and coming home to put these sandles on is wonderful. I dont get it why people say they hurt thier feet? Maybe they dont work as hard as I do? June 27, 2011

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Wassup yo Great product I love these! They massage my foot every step! worth every penny and has a lot of style with high socks! for ballers! but it kinda messes up your socks just a little bit. January 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by DocTat Worn Out I'm going to by my third pair of these in the next week or so.. Two pairs in five years and I'm buying another.. for a regular everyday flip-flop not the best but for people with aches and sore feet there's nothing better.. after a long day of standing all day or a long workout.. Nothing cures the pain better than popping those sandals on and wearing them for a minute, they've fixed more aches than I can even count so I just think you should realize that it's their best attribute.. May 2, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mcarter excellent shoes causual and comfy. hard to find decent looking shoes at an affordable price for a size 17...but these shoes are great and have become a staple of my summer wardrobe June 7, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5Â by JaxJay Poorly Constructed Product We liked the idea of these massaging sandals. However, they are poorly designed because the tiny massaging pegs came loose and broke off not long after we started using them. My wife and I are not overweight people (athletic build) and only use these sandals around the house (not for hight impact activities). We were both very disappointed with this product from a name brand company like Adidas. We would not recommend this product for anyone since they begin breaking so soon. April 22, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by OHYEAH! Feels sooo good, but not durable They feel really great after a few wears, but after a month the massagers pop off and the white stripes have cracks in them. November 17, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bicycle Kicker Awsome Sliders I use these for soccer and as flip-flops.At first they hurt my feet a little but now they're super comfortable. July 11, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5Â by JayN great slide i love the adidas slides, they are extremely comfortable, and wear extremely well. It took wearing them a few times to get used to the feel. ive been wearing the adidas slides for the last 6 years, and still wearing the first pair i purchased. a few of the nodules have broken off, but not a lot of them. i have neuropathy and back problems resulting for a serious accident. i only wear adidas shoes and these are one of my favorite pair. buying a new pair....

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Gran Great service Very satisfied with shoes August 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Nonong should be worn with socks December 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Rick the goat farmer great for the feet I have tired poor feet. 60 years old and a lab tech who stands a lot. I love the slides, whey were rough the first few days and take some time to get use to. I used them for twenty minutes or so the first few days wearing them several times a day. After a few weeks I can waer them all day. They have improved the condition of my feet tremendously. Great things;and a good price for the same results that other brands charge 4 times the price.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Eeyo Christmas gift These are a Christmas gift so I really don't have anything to say at this time. December 7, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Markanton Awesome My brother in law has this pair and I was waiting for spring so I could but this pair. It is not recommended for females or people with jelly feet. One does not have to go for a foot massage. it does a super job. I am going to buy one pair each for my 2 sons. they tried it they love it. My wife like it but cannot wear it for more then 10 minutes. Highly recommended for people who have a standing job [tradesmen ] May 18, 2010

Rated 1 out of 5Â by tonio falling apart I bought these for my husband 3 months ago, massagers are all breaking off, causing him to trip while walking. He wanted some for a long time, and is very disapointed with quality. We would not recommend this product. Try to get some without the massagers. July 21, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sydney Best shoes ever! I love these shoes! They hurt at first,but then they're perfect! They feel amazing. I like wearing them with neon socks (they look good) They're very popular at my school. To clean, I just like to take a Mr. Clean magic eraser and simply wipe!! (: January 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ioan I love the adissage sandals I love that kind of sandals. i am an athlete 30years now and it is important for me after my practise to use that kind of sandals.it helps me because i need a massage after and that product suits me perfect.It makes my feet feel great July 11, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by RodneyG Good flip flops These are good quality flip flops, they also have a nice look to them. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because they need to be broken in, if not they stick to tile like floor. December 29, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by #SoFly Amazing!:) Amazing! So comfy, great after games, and great walk arounds. Even my female friends love them! They love to wear them and say the are really comfy. Look Great too:) August 4, 2012

Rated 2 out of 5Â by RunnerRuskie Eh They look cool & are comfortable, but they come off easily, These loose tread within a about a week during the summer, & they don't work when they're wet. November 15, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5Â by MurrayJacob97 Shredding I bought these along with a new package of socks (6) and in one week, all of my new socks were shredded at the heel and the ball of the foot. The freaking massage balls tore holes in my freaking socks! DO NOT buy these, Never, Never, Never! They also fit my feet poorly, they were too tight on the top, and to tight on the width. I repeat: DO NOT buy these shoes!!! May 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Johnniek good but don't last I love the feel of this sandal, the massage is great from all the pressure points. The problem that after not very long the points begin to break off January 25, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by sunalsorises For the first two weeks or so I wore these shoes I the were blindingly painful. I kept wearing them thinking I just had to break them in. For the most part this was correct. They ended up being comfortable but this only lasted a few weeks before the massaging nodules broke off. Once enough of them broke the shoes once again became very uncomfortable. June 12, 2010
Rated 4.2 out of 5Â by 158 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5Â by kew4210 Worst purchase ever! I used to see everyone wearing them to sports games and just around school, so I picked myself up some. BAD DECISION. They hurt your feet to the point where they are numb and you start to limp. I think you should try them on and walk around in them for a while before you even think about buying some of these. May 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by azasiat This sandal hurt the bottom of your feet...very uncomfortable unless you wear socks. Barefoot is definitely not recommended July 1, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cubby Fantastic Slide At first glance these don't look all that comfortable. Oh, but after you wear them for a while. They take a little getting used to, but soon you'll be wishing all you shoes had the massage effect built in. The adjustible strap makes a custom fit easy. These are great and extremely well made. November 21, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lena L The slipes are my best friend I love those shoes. They are so comfortable and massage the bottom of your feet after a long long day. I have at least 3 pairs. I wear them almost every day and even at work and do not care if the shoes matching with my clothes or not. Please DO NOT discontinue the item!!!!! July 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by golfer Design/material change required Great after-sports slide. Problem is that the massaging nubs broke off with only @ a month of wearing. The nubs do a great job in massaging the feet but their construction leaves them prone to breaking off. Possibly the lower profile of other models is the answer. July 13, 2010
Rated 2 out of 5 Bought two pairs of sandals to compare while going to Florida. this pair was uncomfortable and my heel would slip off the back even as would tighten down the strap. I am returning this pair and keeping the other one that has worked out well March 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bigfoot's Mom Super Happy Kid Our youngest just turned 16 and already has a size 16 foot. He was thrilled to find the exact slides he wanted in his size. He is very happy with these and chances are they won't disappear in the locker room - not many kids wear size 16. April 1, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by JTKzilla Horrible When I got the slide it looked and felt good but after a couple days one of the footbeds started to come undone and eventually fell off. October 10, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Gma in CA Safe non-slipping at poolside These were purchased for a middle-school grandson, who's on a swim team. He took them out of the box and has worn them every day! He likes wearing them with socks right now, because of the "bumpy" soles, which may soften with time. December 28, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Joshie Need to get use to them! At first they were the best slides i've ever bought but once you were them for 2 hours the little nubbie things feel like needles. i think i just need to get use to them! Plus the adidas emblem fell off of the sole after two hours. March 6, 2011

Read more about Candi Dasa
Candi Dasa (pronounced chandi dasa) is a town with a bit of a sad past. As with the rest of Bali, it was first discovered by mainstream tourism in the 1970s and quickly became a destination for those wishing to lounge on the beach beneath coconut palms. This continued until the late 1980s when mining of the coral reef offshore allowed the power of the Lombok strait to erode the very thing people visited Candi Dasa for: the beaches.
The mining stopped (presumably because there was no more coral left) and officials ordered the building of breakwaters to stop the ocean's relentless eating away of the coastline. The hope is that in a few years sand will return and Candi Dasa will have beaches once more; there is even talk of trucking sand in, but after the previous disasters, one can only wonder how this might turn out. The one upside of the breakwaters is that it makes for very calm safe waters to paddle in — one of the reasons why it is so popular with ... Read our complete Candi Dasa travel guide

These activities directly respond to SBSTTA recommendation XIV/3, which will be considered by COP10, through, inter alia, enabling improved assessment activities, supporting the identification of ecologically or biologically significant marine areas (EBSAs), and promoting better understanding of specific and cumulative human impacts, including those of invasive alien speciesResource Type: Tools / Applications
One third of the world's population lives in coastal areas and rapid development of these areas has meant increased construction of coastal infrastruc- ture (e.g. ports, navigation channels, coastal de- fence) and related activities (e.g. land reclamation, beach nourishment), which has inevitably led to conflicting priorities between coral reef conservation and economic growth. The key impacts of these ac- tivities, if not managed, include:
• Direct loss of coral reef caused by the removal or burial of reefs
• Lethal or sub-lethal stress to corals caused by elevated turbidity and sedimentation rates
Dredging and port construction activities potentially affect not only the site itself, but also surrounding ar- eas, through a large number of impact vectors (e.g. turbid plumes, sedimentation, release of contami- nants, bathymetric changes). Effects may be imme- diate or develop over a longer timeframe and may be temporary or permanent in nature, depending on a large number of factors.
The Protected Areas Thematic Network brings together the main governmental and non-governmental organisations working on PA data management in the region in order to promote the more effective sharing of information on protected areas within and between the countries of the Americas Hemisphere, building on and contributing to existing global experience in this area through close collaboration with the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas and the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre.Resource Type: Tools / Applications

Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
Olympic Egg On Face, or The Emperor Is Naked
I can't decide which title is more appropriate for this post. Chicago being eliminated on the first round of voting is horribly embarrassing, considering it was the president who made the pitch to the Olympic committee and presidents usually don't do that sort of thing.
It was bad enough that Obama spent millions of taxpayer dollars to go, but he also spent precious time to make the trip. He is after all the same president who for months said he was too busy to meet with our General McChrystal to discuss Afghanistan war strategy. (Obama did finally squeeze in a 25 minute meeting while en-route to Copenhagen.*)
The most devastating expenditure of Obama's ego-trip to Denmark was his squandering of world political clout. I believe that when a leader sticks his neck out for a cause, it better be an important one. Being rejected right out of the gate was a huge slap in the face.
What is most interesting to me is the reaction of the news media that cannot understand how their darling could have come up empty handed. It reminds me of the story of The Emperor's New Clothes. The media has all been fawning over their Emperor for so long, bolstered by each other and the Democrat Party, they failed to notice he was naked--totally devoid of any real experience or solutions to our many problems.
What I hope will come from this insult is that it will wake up Senate and House Democrats who still support Cap and Trade (Tax) and ObamCare, despite their constituents' opposition. I hope they will realize that it is a little difficult to ride on the Obama-euphoria coattails in the 2010 elections if the president is really naked.
Post Scripts: I don't watch Saturday Night Live, but I did see this clip from the show on Boots and Sabers: SNL Rips on Obama.The T-shirt bit was funny.
Quiz: Which health insurance provider rejects more claims?
Here is a little quiz to start your day: Which mainstream health insurance provider rejects the most claims?
Would it be those evil private insurance companies that President Obama and the Democrats criticize? Or Medicare, the one ObamaCare's public option will be modeled on? The one the AMA* supports?
It's MEDICARE!
From BigGovernment, AMA Endorses Largest Denier of Health Care Claims
"Beverly Gossage, Research Fellow for Show-Me Institute and founder of HSA Benefits Consulting wondered which insurance companies rejected the most claims. She found her answer in the AMA's own 2008 National Health Insurer Report Card. The chart below appears on page 5 of the 16-page report."
The Last Days of Homegrown Sweetcorn: Get while gettin' is good
Yesterday, I stopped in at Simons, our neighborhood farmstand on Greenfield Ave. and Vista View, for homegrown sweetcorn. Good sweetcorn is one of still remaining treats of summer. (Tomatoes would be another.)
I asked how much longer the sweetcorn season would last. The Simons lady said, through the weekend, maybe a few days longer.
She explained the length of the corn season all depends on when the first hard frost occurs. If we have some clear, cold nights, it will probably freeze, and that will be the end of it. The usual last day for corn is Oct. 16. (Certainly the weather has gone into full autumnal mode--I had to break down and turn the heat on last week!)
Simons has both the bi-colored and hard to find white corn. I bought both. (The white is even more tender than the bi.)
So if you love fresh homegrown sweetcorn like I do, stock up now. Homegrown sweetcorn's days are numbered.
PS: Don't forget one for the pooch! We sometimes call our dog a corn-dog; he loves corn in any shape or form. He isn't alone. The lady at Simons told me their dogs on the farm eat the corn right out of the field. My canine prefers it cooked, with a little butter. ;-)
Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize vs. Sat. Night Live bit
You can't make this stuff up. Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize!
For what? Even Saturday Night Live skewered him for his lack of accomplishment.
It is not like he hasn't done anything though. With all the bailouts and spending, we now have a deficit that is 10% of our GNP. (That level of indebtedness is considered unsustainable. The dollar is taking a beating; the price of gold has hit record highs.)
If our current deficit doesn't push us over the solvent edge, we have Cap and Trade and ObamaCare waiting in the wings to finish the job.
As for world peace, the president turned a blind eye to the Honduran and Iranian's desire for democracy and fair elections, reneged on missile shield protection for the Czechs and Poles, and is talking about a role for the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Analysis: Obama's Nobel honors promise, not action, in some ways, reads much like the script from Saturday Night Live's parody on Obama's accomplishments.
Since the deadline for peace prize applications was February 1st, just 11 days after taking office, I can only surmise that the nominator really believed Obama would solve the world's problems?
As for the peace prize committee actually awarding it to Obama, well, let's just say the president joins other great men such as President Jimmy Carter and Vice President Al Gore as peace prize recipients. The prize is often more about slapping the former president's face than anything.

He won, but for what?
Too many tomaotes got you in a jam? Try TOMATO JAM!
Sometimes a homegrown tomato supply can be a feast or famine situation; after waiting forever for the first few fruits, they then all ripen at the same time. So, if you have had your fill of BLTs and tomato salads, maybe you would like to try this old fashioned favorite: tomato jam.
Tomato jam is rarely seen on the store shelves. Smucker's used to make it (don't know if they still do.) The only time I ever saw it on a menu was at Le Cellier Steakhouse at the Canada Pavilion at Disney World's EPCOT. It was spread on top of their open faced steak sandwich and it's flavor complimented the beef very nicely.
Tuesday: Elmbrook School Board to discuss Non-resident students
Board member Glen Allgaier informed me that the Elmbrook School Board will discuss the results of his and 3 community member's analysis of Chapter 220 and Open Enrollment students in our schools at Tuesday's board meeting. This is a subject that interests me, but unfortunately, I have another commitment that night. If this subject interests you, you may wish to attend.
Along with discussing the costs, financial and otherwise, the board is also to discuss "plans for opening seats for 220 students in the fall of 2010." (Approx 7:30pm ) Agenda
The October 13th meeting begins at 6pm at the Central Administrative Offices
How will you shoo the flu? A vaccine or vitamins?
A friend asked last week, Are you concerned about the H1N1 virus? No, I said.
Will you get the H1N1 vaccine? NO! I then muttered something about they would have to hog-tie me before I would get it. I believe the vaccine is more dangerous than the actual flu.
She then asked, Are you getting a regular flu shot? I said, No, never have, most likely, never will. Why do you ask, I asked?
I'm not getting them either; I just wanted to make sure I was on the right page!
What makes her questions a little more pertinent is that she is a nurse.
I am just amazed at the flu hype. You see the regular flu shot tables set up at shopping centers and stores. People are worried that they won't be able to get their H1N1 vaccine. (Some health care workers are worried they will have to get it.)
The last time we had the swine flu scare in 1976, people rushed to get the untested vaccine and many ended up with Guillain-Barre Syndrome or French Polio. I didn't get the vaccine then and didn't get the flu either. This time around, Doctors are told to watch for Guillain-Barre again with this Swine flu scare.
So how am I planning on shooing the flu? Vitamin D. Lots of Vitamin D. Somewhere around 5,000 to 6,000 IUs a day of good quality D3 is a good place to start. (Vitamin Shoppe has Carlson brand of D3.) More and more research is showing just how vital vitamin D is in preventing many diseases and conditions. The CDC also stumbled on a link between Vitamin D deficiency and H1N1 deaths.
We Wisconsinites in the north country don't get enough sunlight to make our own Vitamin D. Supplements are the only way to ensure proper levels. My doctor tested my vitamin D levels, but certainly during flu season, increasing vitamin D3 consumption would be helpful for most people. I am not a doctor or nurse so I will just say, check out increasing your vitamin D3 intake for yourself. It might help you shoo more than just the flu.

District 7 Informational Meeting, Wed. Oct. 21, 7-9 pm
The following email was sent to me by my City of Brookfield Alderpersons, Lisa Mellone and Renee' Lowerr. They will be at City Hall, Wednesday evening, to answer your questions regarding District 7 issues. (District 7 covers the southeast corner of Brookfield.)
Of interest for all City of Brookfield residents, is the public hearing on the proposed city budget on Tuesday, Nov. 17th, 7:45pm in Council Chambers at City Hall.
District 7 Residents,
Reminder: District 7 Informational Meeting this Wednesday, Oct. 21st from 7-9 pm (Open House) in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Thank you, Senator Kohl & Senator Feingold, for voting "Nay"
I don't often have reason to say, Thank you, to our Wisconsin Senators Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold. But after yesterday's Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Motion to Proceed to S. 1776 failed, I do! Both Kohl and Feingold voted against the Cloture Motion.
In all, 12 Democrats joined all the Senate Republicans in rejecting this ram through tactic. (Check for other naysayers. Of interest to me was now Democrat Arlan Specter voted Yea, Rino Republican Olympia Snowe voted Nay.)
The Heritage Foundation's, A Whole New Health Care Ball Game explains why that failed vote was important. You see, it was the first floor vote test on Obamacare. Up until this point, the votes were just committee votes: (My emphasis throughout)
"You have to read all the way to page A-25 in today's New York Times to learn about it, but the Senate took its first floor vote on Obamacare yesterday and the White House lost. Big. The NYT reports: 'Democrats lost a big test vote on health care legislation on Wednesday as the Senate blocked action on a bill to increase Medicare payments to doctors at a cost of $247 billion over 10 years. The Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, needed 60 votes to proceed. He won only 47. And he could not blame Republicans. A dozen Democrats and one independent crossed party lines and voted with Republicans on the 53 to 47 roll call.'"
The failure to move forward with S. 1776 (the "Doc Fix"), as presently written, does not mean that the Senators are necessarily against increasing payments to doctors treating Medicare patients. It just means that they did not approve of the tactics of shifting $247 billion from Obamacare Health Care Reform to S. 1776 without any means of paying for it:
"The Obama administration is trying to add $247 billion in deficit health care spending one week, and then turn around and claim their health care plan is deficit neutral the next. The trickery has come in for some heavy bi-partisan criticism. Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) said he thought the tactic is a "mistake", and Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) told Politico: "I am for the fix, but I don't think we should blow the roof off the deficit — not at a time when we are already running record deficits."
I will call Senators Kohl 202.224.5653 and Feingold's offices 202.224.5323 and tell them, thanks for voting Nay on the Cloture Motion for S. 1776. I will also ask them to vote Nay on any future Health Care Reform bills that come to the Senate floor. In my opinion, they need to scrap the Baucus bill (and House versions) and go back to the drawing board!
Pre-existing conditions: Could any insurance company stay solvent this way?
One of the many things Obamacare Health Care reform promises to correct is eliminating the pre-existing condition exclusion from private health insurance policies. As I understand it, Obamacare will force all insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions without increasing their premiums. (Page 18, lines 4 - 23 of the Baucus Senate Finance Committee bill, a pdf of all 1,502 pages of the bill.)
Another Obamacare mandate is that all Americans must carry health insurance whether they want it or not. If they do not obtain health insurance, they will be fined or taxed, initially at a rate of $200 during the year 2014 phase in period, on up to $750 in year 2017. (Page 197, lines 2 -6 of the bill)
So during the year 2014 phase-in period, some people might be tempted to not enroll in any health insurance plan. After all, under Obamacare rules, if they get sick, they just pay the $200 fine and then they can get health insurance.
How on earth could any insurance company offer that kind of coverage?
Let's just look at homeowners insurance. Wouldn't you like to eliminate your yearly premiums and not worry about a tree falling on your home or worse yet, a catastrophic total loss due to fire? If homeowners insurance followed Obamacare rules, all you would have to do is pay that $200 tax/fine and then get full coverage!
What about auto insurance? Don't bother to insure your cars, just drive uninsured. Get in an accident? Just pay the fine and get your car repaired and your insurance company will pay for damages and liability. Or, drive like a maniac, rack up accidents and tickets without worry you will be dropped or charged more.
Nice, eh?
Obviously, doing business that way, no insurance company could remain solvent for long, without raising it's premiums drastically. Yet, that is pretty much how Obamacare Health Care reform is set up in it's present state.
Maybe that is the whole idea?
Only government can offer coverage like that without solvency worries. (The government just increases taxes, fees and the deficit to cover losses.)
Unlike driving recklessly, sometimes we get sick through no fault of our own. So how do health insurance companies handle pre-existing conditions?
Stay tuned for the next installment: About those pre-existing conditions.
Health Care: ....About those pre-existing conditions
Today's post is part 2 of yesterday's Pre-existing conditions: Could any insurance company stay solvent this way?
Early on in the health care debate, President Obama promised that his health care reform would not exclude anyone because of a pre-existing health condition. (The House and Senate versions of the bill all prohibit private insurance companies from excluding pre-existing conditions.)
If you didn't know better, you might assume that no one with a pre-existing medical condition could ever get health insurance, thus making Obama's healthcare reform a necessity.
Since most people, by the time they are 40 years old, have some sort of pre-existing health issue, does that mean they are unable to get health insurance?
Well, yes and no. It was my understanding that if a person (or their spouse) had an employer who offered group health insurance, the answer was NO, they were not banned from obtaining group health insurance.
Just to be sure of my position, I called my insurance carrier, Humana. Here is what I found out:
- If you (or your family if you have a family plan) were previously insured with another company, you are covered under the new insurance carrier, regardless of treatment in the past--your pre-existing conditions.
- You are still considered previously insured even if there was a lapse of up to 60 days* of insurance coverage. This would be important if you moved or changed jobs.
- If you were unemployed, thus uninsured, for longer than 60 days, purchasing a COBRA insurance policy would guarantee future coverage. Wisconsin's BadgerCare and Medicaid also count as maintaining health insurance coverage.
- IF you let all health insurance coverage lapse during your unemployment (or never had health insurance), and then get a job from a company offering group insurance, you may still enroll in their group policy plan. All dependent children will be fully covered immediately on family plans. You will be covered immediately for everything EXCEPT the conditions you were previously treated for. Coverage for those pre-existing medical conditions will not be covered until a 6 to 12 month waiting period has passed.
They also confirmed that pre-existing conditions were medical conditions you were treated for by a doctor in the past, such as high blood pressure.
We see that group health insurance plans then can be very helpful to people with pre-existing conditions. The offering of group health insurance by an employer becomes an important asset in evaluating future employment opportunities.
If unemployed, keeping COBRA coverage is imperative, however, the monthly premium can be prohibitive. This is one area some reform would be helpful in. Say, if unemployed, a major medical only COBRA plan could be offered? Major medical being just for major needs, thus less expensive than the more comprehensive group plan. Or, possibly some interim group plan offered for the unemployed?
The Humana reps I spoke with were from the group insurance division and did not have the facts on private policies and pre-existing conditions. But I have seen Humana ads that tout basic individual coverage for under $70/month. That rate would be for a healthy young adult. (I had a plan like that after I graduated from college and got my first job. Although I was under 25 and still living at home, my parents did not have a family health insurance plan that covered me.)
As an individual ages and experiences health issues, private insurance policy premiums rise. The very nature of insurance is shared risk.** Those that don't need the insurance help build reserves in the insurance company so that they can pay out for those in need. If those younger, healthier individuals choose to enroll in employer offered group policies, their premiums help offset the group members with greater needs.
But should Obamacare pass, those same healthy young adults, who choose to carry no health insurance, will be required to pay for Obamacare health insurance at the same percentage rate of income that the unhealthy, older adults pay.
Do we need some sort of health insurance reform? Yes, but not the House and Senate versions. As I mentioned above, providing some sort of interim plans during times of unemployment would be good. Possibly group plans for those individuals in high risk would be helpful too? These would come from the private sector. At least for the present, the pre-existing condition isn't as excluding as the president would lead us to believe it is.
*I had called 2 times. One agent told me 60 days, the other 90 days.
**With private life insurance or long term care policies, age and medical conditions enter into the equation for calculating premium rates. The higher the risk, the higher the premium. For example, my long term care policy charged me slightly more for my age group because I have low thyroid function.
Litmus test: Watching Doug Hoffman's N.Y. 23rd race with great interest UPDATE
The 2010 elections are being talked about as a possible comeback for Republicans. But even more important are the few early races, such as Virginia and New Jersey's governor races and New York's 23rd Congressional District race. The 23rd, to me, is the most important, because it will be the litmus test on conservatism vs rinoism in the Republican party.
In that November 3rd New York race for the U.S. House of Representatives, the GOP, several key house republicans such as House Minority Leader John Boehner (who I think has been doing a fairly good job in unifying the Republicans against the stimulus bill, etc.), and Newt Gingrich (shame on you, Newt, its stuff like this that totally dilutes any good messages you have) have endorsed liberal State Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava.
Why was she selected? She isn't a Republican in her convictions! She is pro stimulus spending, pro abortion, pro gay marriage, and pro card check. Scozzafava was endorsed by ACORN, need I say more?
Do we really need someone more liberal than Sen. Olympia Snowe in the House? What for? Just to get another "Republican" member who votes with the Democrats? Is it any wonder polls show that 73% of Republicans think the GOP has lost touch with its base?
The 23rd district New Yorkers fortunately still have a choice in 3rd party candidate Doug Hoffman. He is the real conservative and is endorsed by many conservatives such as Former Governor Sarah Palin, former Senators Rick Santorum and Fred Thompson, former Congressman Dick Armey, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Sen. Jim DeMint, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, conservative talk show hosts such as Mark Levin, and the New York Post.
Why is this race important to me, since I live in Wisconsin and he is running in New York?
Because if Hoffman can pull it off, it should put the fear of Tea Party attendees into every Blue Dog Democrat and every Rino Republican. It would be a signal that the sleeping giant of conservatism has awakened and if these Blue Dogs and Rinos vote for any Obamacare reform or Cap and Trade, we are watching and more importantly, we are VOTING!
I really do not favor a 3rd party system, but this case is different: there is no primary for this seat because it is a special election to fill a vacancy. Third party races do sometimes work for the good*. Sen. Joe Lieberman ran as an independent and won. (He of course was the incumbent and had great name recognition.)
But still, this 23rd District is a good test case scenario. If Hoffman loses, what do we really lose? It isn't like Scozzafava would vote with Republicans much anyway.
IF the Democrat wins, same story. The seat is up for grabs again in 2010. Maybe Hoffman will run again, and this time the Republican party might realize that their supporters want a real conservative, not a republican with rino-itis.
New York's 23rd Congressional district is upstate, in the more conservative part of the state: "a district with about 46,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats." (New York state, as I have heard, is much like Wisconsin, where Milwaukee and Madison are liberal, and the remaining parts of state more conservative.)
Hoffman opponents are quick to point out his district went 52% for Obama last year, but I would think reality has since taken the bloom off that hope and change rose. Although Hoffman is not a gifted speaker his "message has clearly resonated with others who are 'fed up,' including Tea Party activists..."
Maybe this time, the 52% who voted for the gifted speaker last November will go for the man of substance? That's the change I am hoping and praying for.
Paul Ryan & Jim Sensenbrenner to discuss Pelosi Healthcare bill today & Sat.
Congressmen Paul Ryan and Jim Sensenbrenner will be discussing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's ObamaCare Health Care Reform bill today and tomorrow, all 1,990 pages of it!
Paul Ryan will be at the Franklin Library* today, Friday, Oct. 30th, at 11am, for a press conference.
Jim Sensenbrenner, along with State Representative Leah Vukmir, will be at the Elm Grove Library** at 12:30pm on Saturday, Oct. 31st. This was a regularly scheduled Town Hall meeting, but somehow, I think the discussion will be primarily about the Pelosi bill. Since Vukmir was a nurse, she will be able to add some insights into this so-called health care reform bill.
Not that Nancy Pelosi is rushing the 1,990 pages of regulation and spending, but the plan is that the House will vote on this toward the end of next week. (Can anyone even read and understand those 1,990 pages by then?)
I heard Paul Ryan on Mark Belling's show yesterday, hour 2. Give it a listen. It is a very straight forward discussion which begins at the beginning of the hour. Here are a few highlights:
- Pelosi's bill cuts $526 billion from Medicare, WITHOUT affecting services! (Why don't they do that now?)
- About 64% of Seniors will lose their Medicare Advantage private plans option.
- Pelosi's bill includes $572 billion in INCOME TAX INCREASES. This would put top earners and small businesses, who file on their personal returns, into a 54% tax rate. "Capitalism can't work" at this tax rate.
- Employers will be able to ditch their approx.15% of salary designated for providing health care and just pay the 8% penalty. This will dump private insurance company group coverage, provided by employers, to the government plan. (Which underpay doctors and hospitals, like Medicare/Medicaid.) So much for you being able to keep your plan. You can't keep a plan your employer is no longer offering!
- Pelosi's plan covers illegal aliens and abortion. Without any amendments to prohibit this coverage, all will be covered at taxpayer expense.
- The bill CLAIMS to be budget neutral, in fact, they promise it will REDUCE the deficit by $104 billion.(If you believe that, I would like to talk to you about The Great Pumpkin.)
Oh, and did I mention that there will be NO AMENDMENTS ALLOWED? Pelosi doesn't want her Democrat members to have to vote against amendments to exclude abortion and illegal alien coverage.
N.Y.'s 23rd Congressional race more interesting: Republican quits
When I posted Litmus Test: Watching Doug Hoffman's N.Y. 23rd race with great interest on Thursday, I never anticipated that the Republican candidate, Dede Scozzafava, would suspend her campaign on Saturday! This is amazing.
I wouldn't have known about it, but someone asked a question about starting a 3rd party at Congressman Sensenbrenner's Town Hall meeting* and mentioned that Scozzafava had dropped out of the New York race. Wow. I wondered, Could that be true? As soon as I returned home, I checked Drudge. Sure enough, it was:
"Republican Dede Scozzafava announced Saturday that she is suspending her campaign in the Nov. 3 House special election in New York, a dramatic development that increases the GOP's chances of winning the contentious and closely-watched race."
Her analysis of her unpopularity shows she just doesn't get it.
"'In recent days, polls have indicated that my chances of winning this election are not as strong as we would like them to be. The reality that I've come to accept is that in today's political arena, you must be able to back up your message with money—and as I've been outspent on both sides, I've been unable to effectively address many of the charges that have been made about my record,' she said in a statement. "
In my opinion, it wasn't the money, it was her anti-Republican positions! She was after all pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-stimulus spending, pro-card check, to name a few.
If she had been even a moderate Republican, I doubt conservative people from all over the nation would have rallied against her with donations of time and money.
I would like to point out that though many in the media, and even within the Republican party, would like to discount former Gov. Sarah Palin's ability to influence, she was one of the first to throw her support to the true conservative, Doug Hoffman.
It is a good thing November 3rd is just a few days away, this is getting exciting.
*The Town Hall was well attended, about 200. I hope to post a report on Monday.

ArrayList has been modified in Java5 (Tiger) to support Generics which makes Java ArrayList even more powerful because of enhanced type-safety. Before Java5 since there was no generics no type checking at compile time which means there is chance of storing different type of element in an ArrayList which is meant for something and ultimately results in ClassCastException during runtime. with generics you can create Java ArrayList which accepts only type of object specified during creation time and results in compilation error if someone tries to insert any other object into ArrayList in Java; for example if you create an ArrayList of String object you can not store Integer on it because add() method of ArrayList will check Type before adding object into ArrayList in Java opposite to add() method of Java4 which accepts any object.
Java ArrayList with Generics in JDK 1.5
Example of ArrayList in Java
stringList.add(new Integer(2)); //compilation error
String item = stringList.get(i);
System.out.println("Item " + i + " : " + item);
From Java 5 onwards you can use foreach loop as well
for(String item: stringList){
System.out.println("retrieved element: " + item);
if(stringList.size() == 0){
System.out.println("ArrayList is empty");
String[] returnedArray = stringList.toArray(itemArray);
ListIterator listItr = stringList.listIterator();
17) ArrayList to HashSet conversion
Most of Collection class provides a constructor which accepts a Collection object as argument. Which can be used to copy all elements of one Collection into another. HashSet also provide such constructors which can be used to copy all object from ArrayList to HashSet. But be careful since HashSet doesn't allow duplicates some of the objects will not be included which result in less number of objects. See How to convert ArrayList to HashSet in Java for step by step example.

For almost two decades the Institute on Communication and Inclusion has been giving a voice and a means to communicate to people with disabilities who may have otherwise been living in silence or isolation. The Institute on Communication and Inclusion (ICI) conducts research and promotes support for people with disabilities to communicate in schools and society. Formerly, the Facilitated Communication Institute, the new name, the Institute on Communication and Inclusion, represents a broadened focus developed over the past 20 years, reflecting lines of research, training and public dissemination that focus on school and community inclusion, narratives of disability and ability, and disability rights. Its initiatives stress the important relationship of communication to inclusion.
Our next introductory training workshop will be help March 24-35, 2014. This two-day workshop provides the opportunity to learn the techniques of facilitated communication within the context of the principles common to all communication support approaches. Click here for more information.

If you have a list of all the school supplies your children need, you can get started immediately with your shopping. But if you haven't thought about creating a list, take the time to do so before spending any money. This will allow you to avoid over shopping for supplies or missing something important. Once you have your list in hand, try these tips for saving money and finding great back-to-school supply deals.
1. Compare prices – Head to the websites of your favorite stores to compare prices on school supplies. Many will be holding back-to-school specials on paper supplies and backpacks. It's much easier to view several websites and make price comparisons together, rather than driving from store to store. Be sure to check the company's shipping costs and calculate them in before buying.
2. Coupons and discounts – Take your online shopping one step further using sites like Ebates.com, which provide you with coupon codes and discount information for many popular stores that sell school supplies. Ebates.com takes the savings the extra distance by giving you a percentage of your purchase price back as cash when you're done shopping. You can use that savings for other school year expenses for your children or put it back in your pocket for something fun for yourself.
3. Stay home in the air conditioning – With online shopping, you don't have to leave the house. Have the supplies delivered to your door and you can breathe a sigh of relief that your back-to-school shopping task is completed for the year.
4. Bulk shopping – If you have multiple children or have supplies that will need replacing throughout the school year, look for bulk deals. Pencils, notebooks, crayons and many other supplies will appear on shopping lists year after year and a bulk supply could potentially last your family for a long time, helping you to save money.
Last-minute shopping for back-to-school supplies does not mean you're out of luck in finding deals. For more savings tips, find suggestions posted on the Ebates.com Twitter account.
