Low cost accessories cost $9.97 for shipping and handling.
Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii and International Locations
We are happy to ship to Alaska, Hawaii and Canada, but unfortunately additional shipping will be charged. For Canadian orders, you will additionally be responsible for import fees and local taxes upon arrival.
We no longer ship to any other countries (but can make an exception for some products—please contact us).
Like orders within the contiguous US, all shipments to other areas will also ship within 5 business days. In most cases, your order will leave the warehouse within 1 business day.
What happens after you place your order?
Step 1: Order Confirmation
As soon as you place your order, you will receive an order confirmation e-mail. This means that we have received your order in our system and have pre-authorized your credit card for the purchase.
As soon as we receive your order, we also automatically reach out to our suppliers to confirm that it is in stock and available for immediate shipment. If your item is on backorder or unavailable, we will void the pre-authorization and reach out to you via e-mail. If your item(s) are available for immediate shipment (within 5 business days), we will process the charges and submit the order for shipment.
Step 2: Order Shipment
If your order is in stock and we process the charges to your credit card, it will ship within five business days from the date of your order (usually much sooner). We will send you tracking information within 24 hours of your order leaving the warehouse to the e-mail address you provide when checking out.
If you do not receive tracking information from us within six business days of your order, feel free to follow up with us at email@example.com
Damages & Exchanges
Your satisfaction is our top priority. We sell only the finest quality products from reputable manufacturers, so we rarely have problems with any of our products. But if your item is damaged or defective in some way, we'll make sure you're taken care of.
All of our products are backed by a manufacturer's warranty. If your item has a defect, please contact the manufacturer as instructed in the paperwork that came with the product. If you need help contacting the manufacturer, feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Make sure to inspect your order fully as soon as it arrives and make note of any damage. Let us know immediately if your product arrives damaged.
Note: Some manufacturer's do not include any paperwork with their products. In that case, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will get in touch with the manufacturer for you.
If your product was damaged during shipping, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll help you get the replacement parts you need or arrange for total replacement of the product at no cost to you.
Please find your specific situation from the list of scenarios below to learn how we handle that particular situation:
1. You decided to cancel your order
If the order hasn't been processed yet, we can cancel it and issue you a refund with no penalty. If you do not cancel the order until after it has already been processed, your situation will be handled according to situation 4 below.
2. You received the product but the product is not working correctly, is missing parts, or is visibly damaged or deformed
If the item isn't working correctly, and it does not appear to have been damaged during shipping, please see the paperwork that came in the original box for instructions on how to file a warranty claim with the manufacturer (in the absence of instructions, contact us at email@example.com).
The manufacturer is responsible for any manufacturing defects or deficiencies with its products. (If the item is damaged or defective due to shipping damages, please see situation 3 directly below.)
3. You received an item that appears to have been damaged during shipping
If a package appears to have been damaged during shipping, the item is oftentimes still okay. If the packaging for your item appears to be damaged, be sure to keep all the original packaging until you've determined whether or not a shipping insurance claim needs to be submitted. If any of the original packaging is thrown away, we cannot file a shipping insurance claim. Discarding shipping materials or box contents waives your right to get your product replaced or repaired.
Before contacting us, please test the item's functionality. If everything works okay, there is no reason to contact us or file a shipping damage claim. If your product is not working correctly due to the damages that occurred during shipping and you have kept the original shipping materials, please contact us so that we may submit a shipping insurance claim.
Once we have confirmed that you still have the original shipping materials and that the item was damaged during shipping, and after we have officially filed the shipping insurance claim forms, we will send out new parts or a new product at no cost to you.
4. You've received the product but you've decided you want to return it
If you receive an item and decide to return it, you can do so if, and only if, all of the following requirements are met:
- The item must be in as-new condition.
- You must contact us to notify us that you'd like to return the item within the time specified by the manufacturer's return policy. This is usually between 30 and 90 days. Some manufacturers do not allow returns. See below for the return policies of each brand.
- You MUST contact us to get an RMA Number and return instructions PRIOR to returning the item.
If you return an item without all three of the above requirements being met, the item will be refused and come back to you and no refund, or a partial refund) will be issued. If you meet all three of the above requirements, your refund will be issued as soon as the item has been verified to be in good condition
Note that shipping charges (both to ship the light back and the original charges, even if you had free shipping—we still had to pay it, after all) and a 25% restocking fee will be deducted from your refund. With many brands, the restocking fee will be lower or waived altogether. Shipping charges may also be waived, depending on the brand.
5. You refuse the delivery of your order, and it comes back to us
If you refuse an item and it comes back to us, you will be issued a refund LESS a restocking fee of up to 50% and our actual cost for shipping and handling (both ways). If the item is damaged during the shipping process, no refund will be issued until the shipping insurance claim process is complete.
Once the shipping claim process is complete, you will be issued a refund in the amount we are reimbursed by the shipping company (minus the amount the shipping company charges us for the shipment to you and back to us). If the shipping company does not approve the claim, we are, unfortunately, unable to provide a refund.
Warranty And Return Policies Of Individual Brands
1-year warranty and 30 day return policy. Customer pays return shipping and will be responsible for a 15% restocking fee.

April 11, 2017
Author: Kjetil Solbraekke, Head of Rio Office, Rystad Energy
Trinidad has a long-standing oil industry that has influenced the country's industrial development and culture for over a century. Even the country's music is heavily influenced through the steelpan developed through Trinidad's creative population and access to empty steel oil barrels. Steelpan music is still alive and very popular, while the oil and gas industry is struggling more to keep up production of both oil and natural gas.
"Falling of Mt Trinidad" was the front-page headline in the magazine from the Energy Chamber in Trinidad and Tobago in March. Reference was made to Rystad Energy's outlook for the gas production forecast for Trinidad (see figure 1). It shows that gas production would continue to fall at a rate of 13% annually from 2019 unless new development is decided upon urgently.
What has happened in Trinidad and Tobago? Did they run out of natural gas? Have the fields generated less gas than expected? Have the field costs increased and made discoveries uncommercial? In this article, we will show that there are several reasons for the problems currently experienced by the industry and government in Trinidad. We also indicate some measures in order to prevent falling off the cliff.
Maintaining production of oil and gas requires continuous new developments and investments
It is hard to maintain production of oil and gas unless new reserves are discovered and developed. In figure 2, we can see the low rate of new fields being developed in Trinidad over the last 5 years. While Trinidad sanctioned 1.5 Tcf of gas annually in the period from 1990-2005, the level dropped to about 0.7 Tcf of gas in the period from 2005-2016. Still significant volumes, but when producing between 1.1 and 1.5 Tcf of gas per year in the same period it is clearly not sustainable.
The problem in Trinidad can also be recognized by the fact that exploration results and efforts have been lagging the necessary level in order to maintain production at the level of total consumption by the gas industry.
Looking into figure 3 one can also see that the level of gas discovered in the last decade is also below the production level. In other words, Trinidad and Tobago was gradually running out of discoveries and developed reserves without taking necessary actions to prevent the decline. Today the downstream industry including the LNG export facilities depending on gas supplies is paying the price.
History shows the importance of long-term strategic knowledge and insight into the government and regulatory agencies. The supply situation should have been possible to predict at an earlier stage by the authorities in Trinidad, and actions should have been implemented at a much earlier stage.
Steps that could have prevented today's shortfall situation should have been taken 5-10 years ago. Such decisions include:
What now in Trinidad - Falling off the cliff or building a bridge to the future?
Trinidad and Tobago is still a rich country with significant resources to be developed. Rystad Energy believes that only 40% of the total gas resources in the country has been produced so far. Trinidad needs to incentivize the operators to develop the existing discoveries and motivate the industry to make new discoveries. Rystad Energy believes that transparent dialogue between all players in Trinidad is essential in order to overcome the current challenges linked to supply of gas to the industry and return to the production levels experienced in 2010-2014. All above-mentioned areas should be developed and the country should avoid becoming dependent upon only one solution especially if that includes the commitment and cooperation of a big neighbor country.
Trinidad and Tobago has a fantastic strategic position as a hub for a lot of surrounding activity. As seen in the map in figure 4 we can easily see Trinidad perfectly positioned between Guyana with its recent exploration success, undeveloped fields in Venezuela, exploration opportunities in Barbados and also deep water Colombia, in addition to all the volumes that are expected to be discovered at the continental shelf off Trinidad and Tobago. According to published news, Exxon is already considering using Trinidad for refining the oil from the Liza field in Guyana, and many more opportunities will come in the future. A lesson has been learned in Trinidad, and the lesson should be studied by other nations as well. To maintain consistent industry activity and understand the flow of new project development and underlying decrease in the production of existing assets is a key planning tool for any country that wants to reduce uncertainty.
In figure 5, we show the total resource potential including recoverable volumes from yet to find resources in the region. It clearly shows how Trinidad is in the center of a rich petroleum region and potentially has more resources to be discovered than what is currently developed. Long-term strategic thinking should be applied to ensure that the country is prepared for a promising long-term future as a hub in the region, a significant hydrocarbon producer and producer of gas fed downstream products. New gas discoveries made in Trinidad and Tobago have a significant advantage compared to gas found anywhere else in the world. The infrastructure for LNG and petrochemical industry is already in place and begging for additional gas to be connected. However, the potential will not be realized without actions: new licenses, improved government take for upstream companies and third party access to gas pipelines are some of the areas the government needs to sort out. If they get it right, the population in Trinidad and Tobago need not worry about falling off the cliff, but should be able to get back on top of the mountain and appreciate a great view into a bright future.

What's new?
There isn't much that's truly revolutionary about Toyota's impressive new Focus-chaser, the Auris. Despite the fact that they've ditched the biggest-selling name in car history — Corolla — to emphasise the car's importance and new sense of purpose, Toyota has concentrated on bringing its traditions of quality and functionality to a new but fundamentally conventional design rather than re-inventing the wheel. However, one thing about the Auris sticks out like a sore thumb: the hot-hatch version is a diesel.
Instead of powering its quickest version with a peaky normally aspirated engine or a thirsty petrol turbo, Toyota has given us the T180, powered by an advanced 2.2 litre turbo diesel which produces a distinctly healthy 175bhp at 3600 rpm, and even more importantly, a mighty 295lb ft of torque in a wide band which starts at 2000 rpm. The result is strong performance in all speed ranges and in all modes of driving: the 0-60 mph time of 7.9 seconds and 130 mph top speed don't begin to tell the full story.
What's it like?
What makes this car special is the accessibility of its performance. In any gear except the 40 mph/1000 rpm top (a six-speed manual 'box is standard) any right-foot request is instantly answered, provided the tacho is showing at least 1800 rpm. It's a completely different exxperience from that of driving, say, a Honda Civic Type-R, but because of its easy responses the T180 is especially quick out of corners and in tight passing manoeuvres. It's a kind of Detroit V8 experience: see a gap and go for it. No need for any deft gearbox management, and no waiting for your engine to hit the power band.

These behaviors won't get you ANYWHERE.
Our quest to find the perfect match usually leads us through several relationships before we find "the one."
Hopefully, with each passing relationship we learn something new about love and something new about ourselves, which we can bring forward into our next relationship.
Of course, our quest for that perfect match doesn't just involve learning and self-discovery; unfortunately, it also involves handling the dreaded issue of how to break up.
The way you break up with someone reflects something about the relationship that you're ending, as well as reflecting something about your personality. For most of us, our goal is to make a clean break without a lot of drama, but this isn't always the result.
Here are four of the most common mistakes to avoid when it comes to breaking up.
1. Venting and blaming: Breaking up by listing all the rotten things that the other person has done during your relationship is a sure-fire way to end your relationship with an explosive argument. It doesn't matter whether you expressed your dissatisfaction with your partner during the relationship or whether you left these things "unsaid;" either way, a break up isn't the time to air these issues.
2. Taking a trip down memory lane: Despite your desire to make the breakup as pleasant as possible for him, there's no need to go through a list of all the wonderful times you had together. Your focus is to move on, not to wallow in the past. The trip down memory lane just invites him to start begging, since he's likely to point out that there can be many more good times ahead if you just give him one more chance.
3. Using clichés: We all know the typical break up clichés like "It's not you, it's me," or "I don't deserve someone like you." His feelings won't be spared merely because you used an old cliché. In fact, he may feel insulted when you sound like a character from a bad romance movie rather than speaking from your heart.
4. Tap dancing around the breakup: Some women try to break up by implying their desire to split rather than just coming out and saying it. You want to say it as delicately as possible, but your goal is still to communicate that this relationship is over. When you aren't direct, you may find that he has no idea what you're trying to tell him.
Now that you know what things to avoid, the key is to take the necessary steps to be sure that you don't make these mistakes. Planning out what you're going to say ahead of time is a much better approach than just going in and winging it. You should also give some thought to how you will respond to a variety of possible reactions from him, including anger, begging or maybe even crying.
When you're planning out your words, remember that it's safer to say less rather than more. Using fewer words means that there's less chance of saying the wrong thing or sending him a mixed message. If you focus on being considerate and clear with your words, you should be able to keep the breakup drama to a minimum.

We have been going to this particular apartment for over 10 years and love it especially the views from the balcony and the space. We were somewhat disappointed this year as the standard of cleanliness was not to the usual standard we have had in the past and the balcony area needed attention as weeds growing.

Wonderful apartment, marked only 8 for local amenities simply because the amusements kiosks near Goodrington sands were closed and apart from the Inn on the Quay and the steam railway there's no shops etc. So if you want anything from the shops it involves an hike over or around the headland.
One point is the front door to the apartments, we had no key for the front door, there is a notice on the front door about not locking it from the inside as people on the outside wouldn't be able to open it, this wasn't our issue, if the door was shut we were effectively locked out, on one day I had to knock on the window of one of the downstairs flats to gain access to the building. We didn't dare go out in the evening as we didn't want to knock on someone's window at some late hour, it was like having a curfew! There needs to be a front door key on the fob.
But the apartment was absolutely wonderful the view is breathtaking, I love the apartment and Paignton in general, but please, please, please, get a front door key on the key fob!

Great flat for a week for four people. Great location. Clean. V comfortable. Useful items such as washing up liquid and kitchen towel provided (unlike certain rentals).
Only (small) issue: xbox and sky are offered but a need for code limits what can be seen on Sky and space limitations/ long download times limited the xbox use.

We have been guests at apartment number 8 twice a year for many years and will continue to do so. However on this occasion there appeared to be something lacking in the servicing of the apartment (half a toilet roll on the holder and no spare, no hygienic cover on the toilet, no plastic mugs in the bathroom and a poor supply of tea, coffee, dishwasher tablets etc) we met with the owner as we were leaving and informed him of the issues.

Adult websites watched by thousands of children
Adult websites should have to ask users to prove they are over 18, according to new research from the online video regulator.
The Authority for Television On Demand (ATVOD) found up to 6% of children aged 15 or under access adult websites.
The online habits of 45,000 desktop PC and laptop users were monitored for a month, and what the regulator found will startle most parents.
Adult websites were accessed by 3% of primary school children, the study found.
If scaled up nationally, the research suggests 200,000 under-16s had accessed pornographic material - that includes 44,000 primary school children.
Because the study did not include smartphone or tablet use, this is probably a conservative estimate.
Pornography sites registered in the UK must already check users' ages with credit card details or other personal information against a database.
But ATVOD said the majority of adult material accessed by children was hosted by foreign businesses, which it does not regulate.
Atvod chief executive Pete Johnson said: "Significant sums are flowing from UK customers to foreign websites which allow children to access hardcore porn. In 2013, The Times estimated the sum could be £180 million a year.
"Cutting off that flow of funds to services which allow children to view hardcore porn would provide a powerful incentive for porn websites to put in place effective age verification and access control mechanisms in order to restart the flow of funds from the UK."
It proposes that all adult sites request a licence, granted only if they sign up to age verification.
If they do not, credit and debit card services would prevent payments being made to the sites by UK citizens.
"We do not advocate censorship," said ATVOD chair Ruth Evans.
"The Government needs to act urgently with a range of measures to protect children from this content.
"Key among them is legislation to make it possible for the UK payments industry to prevent funds flowing from this country to websites which allow children to access hardcore pornography."
The call to regulate follows the adoption of an "opt-in" pornography filter by internet service providers last year.
Critics say regulatory solutions do not address the problem.
Ben Yates, who writes for Sex and Censorship, said there are "social, cultural and personal problems that cannot simply be fixed by a limp firewall or law".
"This proposal, along with many other Government backed ideas on stopping children watching porn, simply fails before it begins."
Atvod already forces pornographic websites based in Britain to conduct age checks before users can view explicit photographs or video, by demanding credit card details or verifiable personal information.
But the regulator says the majority of online pornography is downloaded from businesses based overseas, which are beyond its control.

Kovalev done with Panthers, future to be determinedby Alain Poupart
SUNRISE, Fla. -- Veteran forward Alex Kovalev's status remains unknown.
Kovalev still is property of the Florida Panthers, but he no longer figures in the team's plans, and general manager Dale Tallon said Tuesday that Kovalev was "still weighing his options."
"It was just a mutual agreement that we wanted to go in a different direction, that's all," Tallon said.
Tallon said he was hoping for a resolution sometime this week. Kovalev, who was out of the NHL last season, could agree to be sent down to the American Hockey League, accept a buyout or retire.
Kovalev was signed to a one-year contract after going to training camp as a tryout player and started the season with a goal and two assists in the opener, a 5-1 home victory against the Carolina Hurricanes.
But Kovalev had a goal and an assist over the next 16 games and was scratched three times during that stretch.
He last played Feb. 22 in a 3-1 loss against the Pittsburgh Penguins, getting a season-low 9:17 of ice time. The following game, against the Boston Bruins at the BB&T Center, came on Kovalev's 40th birthday but he was a healthy scratch.
Kovalev did not accompany the Panthers on their recent trip, Saturday's game at Carolina.

Cava needs time to become a Great Cava.
This is Cava Guilera's motto and I guess you all will agree with this statement. A lot has been written about cava and its quality🏅. One of the points which many tried to bring out, was how cava wasn't ready to compete with products like champagne. People have been dismissive about it and even looked down on it sometimes🙄; thank God these days are long gone now. Cava has shown the entire world that there are amazing cavas which are able to compete with champagne (even though I must admit I consider myself a champagne lover🥂).
Cava Guilera is clearly one of those caves. A couple of weeks ago we visited them at their winery and enjoyed a vertical wine tasting of some of their best vintages. We were lucky enough to go back in time to 1998 and I can tell you that THAT cava could be standing next to Dom Perignon in a wine shop (ok, in a wine shop they are usually separated by zones but you know what I mean😁).
We were lucky enough to try probably what we call the finest Catalan bubbles🍾. Although I was complaining about the lack of light in the tasting room, be sure I was the happiest kid🙋🏼. The tasting took place in the cellar, just next to the ageing bottles of cava.
This winery only makes Reserva and Gran Reserva cava. Among these cavas, there is a rosé, a Brut Nature Reserva, a Brut Reserva and a Demi Sweet Reserva. Below what we tried in different vintages:
Premium cava
- Here is Brut Nature Gran Reserva 2009; the original gran reserva. Xarel·lo, Macabeu and Parellada.
- Musivari 2007; (I really love how this word sounds, just repeat a couple of times in a row). It is a tribute to Penedès landscapes; as you can see the label recalls us of a mosaic – a mosaic of Penedès landscapes. Xarel·lo, Macabeu, Parellada🏝.
- Agosarat 2005, "Agosarat" 🦁means "Brave" in Catalan. It's only produced in the best vintages (classical assemblage: xarel·lo, macabeu, parellada). The design deserves all your attention: the label features braille (yes, the silver thing) so that anyone can read what kind of cava it is.
So that's it, wine lovers. This is your next must-try premium cava and must-go place when you come to Penedès🌟🥂!
If you have already tried it, please let me know what do you think about it!
Cava kisses,

... Regarding the Krzewicki name. One person I contacted said it was originally spelled Krzywicki, but they changed it because there was a childhood disease spelled the same way! Must have been some disease!
I'm sure the reference is to krzywica, rachitis or rickets; the adjectival form of that word is krzywiczy, not krzywicki, but of course the latter word does sound like it has a connection to the disease, and that could easily be enough to make one want to change it. Krzyw- is a Polish root meaning "bent, crooked," as in the name of King Bolesław Krzywousty, "Boleslaus with the crooked mouth." Your source may be right, but as of 1990 there were 2,905 Polish citizens named Krzywicki, so the link with the disease didn't induce everyone to change that name!
Confusion of krzyw- and krzew-, or changing from one to the other, is not unlikely, we do often see e and y confused in the spelling of Polish names. It can matter, however, which one was originally right, as krzew- is a root meaning "shrub," whereas krzyw-, as I said, means "bent, crooked." Both Krzywicki and Krzewicki probably derive from place names -- there are several Krzywica's and Krzywice's in Poland, and I noticed in the Slownik Geograficzny that there is at least one place named Krzewice. If your research lets you settle the matter of what the original form was, it could be significant, in that it might give you a clue as to your ancestors' place of origin. You're kind of lucky, there are only a few places with applicable names, a lot better than some names that could derive from any of 50 villages!
...I am always interested to read the messages from those who want to know what their names mean, and where they originated, but it seems to me that it's TOO easy to say, "OK, my name comes from Mierzejew, so that means my Mierzejewskis must live there!" I think that could really throw some researchers off the track. I think of the time wasted checking every Mierzejewo in Poland, looking for MY Mierzejewski family. Wouldn't that kind of be working backwards? Mine lived in Ukraine! I would never have found them that way! Good thing I had his passport and military records! But that does NOT tell me where he was born, only where he was living at the time he was discharged from the army, and the time he left for America. I think many people fall into that kind of thing, setting themselves back many, many years!
You are absolutely right! I try to stress this to people, that you must not say "Here's my name, there's a place that sounds right, they must have come from there." The chances of making an incorrect association are way too high for that kind of procedure! The right way to go is to do the dirty work of combing through records (which is what most people want to avoid, that's why they hope their surname will provide a shortcut), establish exactly what part of Poland your people came from, and then look for a suitable place name in that area. Even then you may be misled, but the odds are much, much better. Doing it the other way is begging for disaster! I'm glad you understand this, many people don't.
... Oh well, I will keep plodding along, and trying to find my Mierzejewski grandfather!
Everyone wants a shortcut, and I don't blame anyone for that - who wouldn't take a shortcut if one's available? But plodding is the way to go! I've known several people who weren't exactly the brightest folks in the world, but they just kept on, never gave up, and ended up with magnificent results. Brains and ingenuity help, but I think the real key to success is plain old perseverance. So don't ever stop plodding!
And by the way, you probably know this, but Mierzejewski probably started meaning something like "person from Mierzejewo (e. g., Mierzejewo in Leszno and Olsztyn provinces)," and those places surely got their names from the term mierzeja, "spit, sand-bar." The surname is quite common, with 8,481 Poles by that name as of 1990. I believe there was a noble family by that name - if I'm not mistaken, Jonathan Shea (president of the PGS-Northeast) has some Mierzejewski ancestors who were noble.

You're probably familiar with some of China's most famous tourist attractions, such as the Great Wall of China. But do you know that there are actually several other beautiful places in this country that are waiting for you to discover and explore? It's surprising to know that not a lot of people are aware that these stunningly beautiful places actually exist. So if you are planning to visit this country anytime soon, make sure to check out these 18 beautiful places.
1. Mount Huangshan
Mount Huangshan is actually a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a 1,863 meter mountain that is set behind the country's most beautiful mountains. It is also known as the "Mount Yellow" and is famous for its uniquely shaped pines, hot springs, stunning rock formations with the melancholy clouds in the background. This place is ideal for those who are into trekking and mountain climbing.

"Perception is reality."
There is a lot of truth to this quotation [which is generally attributed to US Republican Party political consultant and strategist Lee Atwater (1951–1991)]. People view the world and the events in it through their own colored glasses, tinged with political views, beliefs, and their own personal experiences and history. How else can you explain such widely divergent and hotly contested viewpoints on serious issues like drilling in the Arctic, or topics as benign as the American professional football quarterback, Tim Tebow?
No rational person can deny the critical role that fossil fuels have played in the development of our 21st-century world. Yet, this hasn't helped the image of the oil and gas industry.
Some of this negativity is deserved. While some industry detractors can never be swayed toward a positive view of our industry, much of the general public has legitimate complaints, worries, and fears about our industry: refinery accidents and explosions, the searing images of crude-covered coastlines from the Exxon Valdez spill of 1989, and a new generation witnessing the damage from the Macondo blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. These are legitimate, and deserved, black eyes for our industry. We must do better to ensure they are never repeated.
Other negative perceptions are not so deserved. "Pain at the pump" has entered the lexicon to describe the ever-expanding budget item that gasoline has become for the typical American family. But prices are driven by supply and demand, which no industry, not even oil and gas, can hope to control.
The right question to ask in response to any problem is: What's to be done? What can we in the oil and gas industry do to mitigate, or at least address, negative public perception?
It starts with engagement. We should not be afraid to stand up for the important role oil and gas plays in our modern economy and our lives. From the heating and cooling of our homes, to our cars we drive on the weekend, to the tires we outfit our bicycles with, oil and gas touches every part of our lives.
It is also important to push back against misperceptions. A common myth is that the oil and gas industry is hostile toward renewable energy. I don't know anyone who doesn't like the potential that renewable energy holds. What's not to like about a solar-powered car that doesn't require weekly fill-ups at the gas station? Or a geothermally heated house that would save families thousands of dollars every year in electric and natural-gas bills?
Setting aside the fact that the "green movement" appeals only to some people, saving money appeals to everyone. The problem is that the technology just hasn't fully arrived yet. For the limited applications where renewable energy sources can serve as the primary source of power, there are many other applications, mainly transportation like cars and airplanes, for which we are decades away from finding a realistic fossil-fuel substitute. Even hybrid cars still have to plug into a socket whose electrons are ultimately generated by a coal-burning or natural-gas-fired power plant.
Finally, we must acknowledge when we've made mistakes. "Deny and attack" may work in politics, but such tactics only deepen the public's mistrust when used by our industry. We must admit mistakes, fix them, and commit to doing better in the future.
As part of TWA's attempt to engage in the debate, I'm excited that this issue's TWA Interview section features a question-and-answer session with two people who champion opposing sides of the debate: Ben Ayliffe, head of Greenpeace International's Arctic Oil Campaign, and David Blackmon, managing director of strategic communications for FTI Consulting. This issue's Forum section continues this theme by exploring the public's awareness of how pervasive oil and gas products and byproducts are in our society. I hope you enjoy reading these articles as much as I did.
You can engage in the conversation as well! One of the easiest ways is by visiting TWA's Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn pages and joining (or starting!) a conversation. We're always eager to hear from our readers. What do you think is the public's overall perception of our industry? Why does the public have that perception? And what can we do to change or improve it? Drop us a line. We would love to hear from you.
I'll close by saying I always strive to have things both ways. Why not have your cake and eat it, too? In this case, I believe we as an industry are capable of continuing to meet the world's energy needs, but in a reliable, environmentally responsible, and ethical manner. These goals are not mutually incompatible—they do not represent "either/or" choices. Importantly, our industry simply must achieve these goals until the energy torch can truly be passed from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. This, more than anything else, will ensure we are doing all we can to dispel negative perceptions of our industry.

It's been well documented how much I love making sausage. I don't get to do that as much these days, so when I got this particular call I jumped at the opportunity.

Want Truly Sustainable Chicken? Eat a Hen
Chickens are one of those things that, from a farming perspective, you either hate or you barely tolerate to the best of your ability. Sure, on their best day they can be fun to have around – chickens pecking around the farmyard is about as close to the pastoral ideal as you can get. But on the day-to-day chickens that are allowed to be outside and walking around are a nuisance. They NEVER stay where they're supposed to be, and they constantly find new and horrible ways to kill themselves. But despite the hassle of raising them free range there is still considerable demand for their meat and eggs, and raising chickens outside – the way they were meant to live – is an important part of agriculture in America.
One of the things that people don't always realize is that there are in reality two distinct types of chickens in a multi-animal farm. One type, the meat birds, are usually raised on pasture in chicken tractors (made famous by Joel Salatin) that allow the birds to be moved to fresh grass every day where they can peck around and gain muscle relatively quickly and in decently large numbers. The other type are the layers, pampered hens usually raised either in movable coops or right in the farmyard itself. These birds are looked after constantly, with their every need seen to. The reason is simple, eggs from free-range organically fed chickens are big money. I used to sell pastured chicken eggs at a farmer's market for $8/dozen and they would be the first thing we'd sell out of. I've seen well-dressed Manhattanites fight over the last carton of eggs.

Meat Cuts 101: Pork Sirloin
NAMP Number: 410A
Muscle Name(s): Gluteus medius
Other Names: Chuleta, Extremo del sirloin, chump end
Cooking Style: Roast or Braise
The wind is howling outside, the sky is that lovely shade of "screw-you" grey, and rotting leaves are piling up on my doorstep. People, it's roast season. In my mind there is nothing better than a big roast cooking away in the oven to compliment this gorgeous fall weather. Throw in some heavily spiked mulled cider and you've got just about as perfect a day as it's possible to get without copious illegal substances. "But," you're asking yourself, "what roast, out of all the possible roasts, is the one I really want to be cooking this blustery October afternoon." The answer, to me at least, is simple: breeze right past the posh boneless loins, and dry aged beef joints, and go right for a big honking pork sirloin.
Butcher's Vacation Part II, or, "The Country"
The London leg of our trip was amazing; we spent 2 full days doing nothing but eating, drinking, and checking out butcher shops (sometimes all three at the same time). But for me, the fun really started when we climbed into our massive diesel rental car/boat and headed out west. Here are some thoughts in no particular order:

UK Trip Report: The London Sessions
We're back from our vacation and holy God was it awesome. I'm not going to regale you with the play by play of our honeymoon (for that, look for my upcoming sextape: "Sausage innuendo the musical"). I would, however, like to pass along some of the meat related knowledge I gleaned while in the land of meat pies and Sunday roasts. I dragged my way too understanding wife to no fewer than a dozen butcher shops, from the big names to the local joints and saw some amazing stuff along the way. Here's some of the highlights of the first leg of the trip: London.
The Continuing Insanity of "Meat Safety" Articles
I'm in crisis mode getting ready for my butcher shop reconnaissance trip/honeymoon – 3 days and counting, try not to miss me too much – it's funny how something you plan all year for can suddenly sneak up on you. Last weekend I was visiting my parents (happy birthday mom!) to drop off our dog that they'll be watching while we're gone (sorry mom!). The great thing about my parents is that they still get Reader's Digest. The great thing about Reader's Digest is that it apparently still espouses complete bullshit regarding food safety.
You don't have to follow that link, and it's probably better if you don't give them the ad revenue (and really like half that website is ads). Basically they rank different meats in terms of their relative "safety" from food borne illnesses. Given that Reader's Digest is essentially bathroom reading anyway I'm probably the only person who would actually take it seriously, but since I'm grumpy about most everything I feel the need to have a bit of a talk about it. I can't quite figure out what I disagree with more, their findings or their general premise.

Going Dutch with Sauerbraten
About 8 months ago my wife and I moved from Brooklyn to Southeast Pennsylvania. It's been a hugely successful move for us; We've got more space, I work in a great new shop, and the bounty of Pennsylvania agriculture is open to us everywhere we go – you can't throw a long john in this town without hitting a farmer's market bursting with locally raised produce and meat. But for all the easy aspects of this transition, the one thing about this area that still remains wonderfully perplexing to us is the local food culture; handed down generation to generation from the original settlers of this area, the food stylings and culture is collectively known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.
Meat Man's Holiday
My plan for this "definitely not work related" vacation is to "definitely not spend my time dragging my long suffering wife from butcher shop to butcher shop" in this mecca of old school meat shops. Now, Google Analytics tells me that my second largest readership contingent (so like, 12 of you) is from the UK and I'm guessing you intelligent, beautiful readers might have some inside knowledge about the butchery scene across the pond. I'm on the lookout for any and all recommendations for butcher shops that I should "happen to wander across" when we're there. We're flying into London and out of Edinburgh with the majority of our time spent in Dorset and Devon – time which will include dinner and a meat course at River Cottage!!!
So if you know of a can't miss butcher shop that we, well, can't miss, shoot me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com or leave a comment. I'll happily repay you in the form of delicious ale. In any event, expect lots of pictures come the beginning of September.

After being hit by a taxi and having front end damage to my 2014 Lexus IS250, I called Lexus of Wayzata to see where they have their cars repaired. I was referred to Wayzata Auto Center Collision Repair, and now I know why. The service I received was exemplary from the initial estimate all the way through to completion of the work. Diane was accessible, flexible in scheduling and communicated the status throughout the process. Mike was patient as I had questions and ensured that the car was in perfect condition when it left their shop. If you want your vehicle to look like new again, take it to Wayzata Auto Center Collision Repair. Signed: Sally, a happy customer!

I was very impressed by Trevor and Gina at the collision center. They were very friendly and helpful when I brought my SUV in to be fixed. A deer collision did quite a bit of damage and when I picked up the vehicle it looked brand new. I was so pleased and highly recommend them.

Tough winter, many headaches with an auto accident. As a extremely "picky" person when it comes to my 2012 Eco Turbo Cruze, Sara was very patient with me, but the end result, I am extremely happy my car was repaired and given the extra time to fix it right. My car may not be an expensive model, but Sara put the extra effort in with dealing with me, my insurance, Village Chevrolet, she made the experience almost transparent. My car looks exactly like the day I bought it, even being 4+ years old, I still think it is nicer than showroom models, and the repairs....perfect. A+ customer service, thanks to all who worked on my car, I can't wait to get it home!
Gigi S.
Wayzata Auto Center has helped me a number of times. Excellent work, done in a timely manner.
Recently, after having a bumper replaced not long ago, someone nicked that bumper... Wayzata Auto Center told me they could not make it look perfect without significant expense. Yet, they were able to touch up the gouge which helped a lot - and - then buff out a few other places that had minor scratches. No charge!
Highly recommend going there for your repair needs!
Peg K.
Accommodated my schedule. Able to do most of the exchange by voice and email. Flexible when the insurance payment did not come right away. This has got to be a hard job. I heard a few people griping and giving the staff a difficult time. I am grateful that did not translate to my customer experience. Instead the staff were able to treat me with a fresh perspective. Not easy. Thanks for your work on this.

I brought my 1999 Toyota Camry to Wayzata Auto Collision Center Repair in for repair after a fender bender. Diane Hopkins greeted me courteously and promptly inspected the damage and gave me a quote. After I chose WACCR over another repair shop, I brought the car in for repair. The work made the rear bumper look as good as new. And I was charged the very reasonable price quoted to me by Diane Thanks. I highly recommend WACCR.

Friendly, efficient, timely service.

My husband and I are very satisfied with the service we've received at Wayzata Auto Collision Repair. Sara and everyone else did a great job staying in constant communication with us at every step. The completed work looks great. Unfortunately we were recently involved in a collision with our other vehicle, and it is a no-brainer to return to Wayzata Auto Collision Repair. My only "complaint" is that they are very busy and schedule out in advance, but this is a testimony to the number of people who trust them with their vehicles.
Jean S.
Ms. Zeller and the entire staff was highly communicative with us, keeping us informed at every step in the process. We were treated with respect. We always felt like they had time for us.

After my truck was damage I look for a fast service repair and this was the fastest and good work, but they need to work in their customer service more.
Adrian J.
I wanted to say that Sara did an excellent job with the repair to my Lexus in November 2013! She was attentive, and detail-oriented. She had everything ready for me for both of my visits, insurance information entered correctly, and my loaner vehicle ready. I appreciated the prompt and thorough service I received from your organization! I wouldn't hesitate to work with you again!
Mary Y

Diane Hopkins did an excellent job explaining what to expect, and even arranged my rental car. No surprises when i arrived to pick up the car... Nice.

I can't give Sara higher reviews. She is so wonderful and professional. I've been there a few times with my Lexus and my car repair is always perfect. I've even taken my other car there and wouldn't think of going anywhere else for body work. Thank you Sara for such a great job and making it always easy for me.

I would recommend the Wayzata Auto Center Collision Repair to my family and friends. My experience was great. The professionalism and friendliness of Diane Hopkins, the timeliness of the repair were all reasons I give the Auto Center a Five Star - Excellent service rating! I was also very appreciative that we were provided a loaner vehicle during the repair.

Professionalism and friendliness of Diane Hopkins. Timelines of repair. Also very appreciative that we were provided a loaner vehicle.

I was referred to Wayzata Collision by one of the Lexus dealerships in the area and rightfully so! They repaired the rear end collision damage and replaced the under engine shields on my 2002 Lexus with excellence. They also detailed the vehicle inside and out. I am picky about my car; if you are too, you will definitely be satisfied if you select this shop to take care of your auto body needs.

I received Five-Star-Excellent service with Wayzata Auto Center Collision Repair. The follow thru was outstanding. Your staff did exactly what they said they would do in a cost effective and timely manner. The communication and attention to detail was exceptional. Keep up the good work. Diane Hopkins, the body shop estimator was great!! I would recommend the Auto Center to my friends and family.

Spam is unsolicited email communication, usually of a marketing nature. A large percentage of email communication consists of spam messages.
Due to the high volume of spam, email would practically be unusable if not for the invention of advanced spam filters.
The high volume of spam an email user receives results from the low cost of sending an email. Spammers are able to send large volumes of email at very little cost to them — the actual sending of the spam email is completely free. The only costs usually associated with spamming come from the purchasing of email addresses.
One of the major obstacles that spammers face is bypassing spam filters. Even without spam filters, it typically takes thousands of unsolicited emails to get one response. However, with spam filters, the number of responses the spammer receives will likely be much lower, because many recipients do not even see spam in the first place.
Some spam filters increase the extent to which they filter out email addresses. However, spam filters that are too overzealous when filtering out email addresses are more likely to accidentally place legitimate email in the spam folder.
Those who want to receive fewer spam emails can start by not posting their email addresses on any website. Since many spammers rely on bots to search through the Web in search of email addresses, email addresses listed on websites have a high likelihood of attracting spammers.
If an email owner is not sure whether he or she has an email address listed on a website, the best option is to search for the email address using a search engine. The user can then ask the website to take the email address down.
Another option is to sign up for a free email service and use that email address when signing up for websites. Most websites require that users provide an email address when sign up for an account.
However, some websites will sell these email addresses to spammers. Using a free email address will allow the user to sign up for an account and then simply never visit the inbox.

Christmas 2012
In this week's newsletter:
- Signs of the Season
- Delivering Christ to a waiting world
- Walking in the way of peace
- Why "walking in the way of peace" requires grace
A Franconia Conference Summer
We asked for stories from summer activities from around the Conference and got this jewel from Kim Moyer, Blooming Glen congregation:
The theme for our Summer Bible School was "Be Bold! God is with You!" The children learned through songs, dramas, stories, crafts, and games, that God is with them, even when they are scared.
Spring Training 2012
Franconia Conference credentialed leaders from up and down the east coast met on Saturday, April 21, at Towamencin Mennonite Church for the first annual Spring Training, a time of equipping planned by the conference as part of a commitment to continuing education. The day focused on interculturalism and included times of worship, table conversation, resourcing, … Continue reading Spring Training 2012
Walking together on the road to Easter
It's a familiar story, especially for those who have grown up in the church. So how do we retell the story of Jesus' passion and resurrection year after year in ways that open us up, once again, to the pain, the beauty, and the wonder of Jesus' sacrifice and victory over death?
The season of Lent, celebrated for the forty days leading up to Easter, marks Christ's journey to Jerusalem. It invites those who follow Jesus to walk with him by remembering his life, practicing disciplines of fasting and sacrifice, and engaging in deeper commitment to their brothers and sisters in the church.
Conferences discuss history, consider future in forums
Members of Eastern District and Franconia Conferences of Mennonite Church USA met on March 29 at Christopher Dock Mennonite High School in Lansdale, PA, to continue conversations about a shared future. This gathering, the first of two forums planned for Spring 2012, focused on developing a deeper understanding of the 1847 split in Franconia Conference that led to the formation of Eastern District Conference.
MWC executive secretary preaches in Philadelphia
by Adrian Suryajaya, email@example.com "There is not one culture that fully knows who Jesus is. That is why we need another culture to complete the character of Jesus." That is the heart of the message Mennonite World Conference's new executive secretary Cesar Garcia gave the congregation at Philadelphia Praise Center (PPC). On January 29, Garcia … Continue reading MWC executive secretary preaches in Philadelphia

Conference gathers for holy extravaganza
Franconia Conference Moderator Blaine Detwiler of Susquehanna, Pa, suggested that the annual Conference Assembly might be a "holy extravaganza." And indeed it was, held at Souderton (Pa) Mennonite Church on November 13 and 14 around the theme of "Cultivating Healthy and Growing Leaders." The extravaganza kicked off with a multiethnic worship team from across Conference … Continue reading Conference gathers for holy extravaganza

I love chocolate.
I enjoy baking with chocolate. I buy chocolate in large quantities. I buy chocolate chips in 5 pound bags.
I like hot cocoa in the winter and chocolate milk in the summer.
I like chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.
And, I like chocolate sundaes.
Today I'd like to share my recipe for Double Chocolate Brownies. They're double chocolate because they have chocolate chips in the batter. I can't take credit for these, because I found this recipe years ago on the bag of Nestle's© Chocolate Chips. They always have the best recipes. And, no mixer needed. That makes them even better because it's kinda therapeutic. I like to use my wooden spoons and spatulas, it feels so grandma-vintage-like.
¾ cups sugar
2 Tablespoons water
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
12 ounces chocolate chips
2 eggs
¾ cups flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" square pan.
In a small saucepan combine sugar, water and butter. Bring just to a boil.
Lower the heat and add the vanilla and only 6 ounces (1 cup) of the chocolate chips.
Mix until smooth.
Remove from heat. I transfer this to another bowl and let this cool a bit because you will add eggs and I don't like it to be hot when I add the eggs.
Add eggs, one at a time. This means, add an egg, mix, add the other egg, mix.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Blend the flour mixture gradually into the chocolate mixture.
Stir in the remaining 6 ounces (1 cup) of chocolate chips. Spread evenly into the greased pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely, (ha!) and then cut.
Enjoy. I do!

seriously? sf2 has influenced an entire generation of beat em ups. its awesome. you know what it is.
haven't played much of the various remixes capcom kept releasing, but this is the original, so therefore the best. obviously.
Inexpensive Guilty Pleasure
in New York)
I got this as a kind of personal collector's item. I actually bought this game when it first released so many years ago and I remember paying GameStop $80 for it. Being a bit of a "rabid" Street Fighter fan, I've dumped tons of quarters and dollars in the series over the years. So, you can imagine my surprise at finding a way to replace my cartridge after all these years and for next to nothing.

Great game, simple and brings back memories. I don't get into the other street fighter games because this is enough for me to throw the controller, lol.

Love this game and kid's love it too . Worth every penny when purchasing this game.

While we wait for numbers to trickle in, here is one way to redefine victory in one interesting race.
In New York's 13th congressional district, the often-overlooked Democrat Stephen Harrison is challenging Vito Fossella, and with basically no support from the state or national parties, Harrison may have a shot at breaking 41percent.
It would be the most any Democratic challenger has gotten against Fossella. So at the very least, he'd be able to make the case for being the guy again in 2008.

The 5 "Don't's" for Attending Events, Networking or Otherwise
Even the world's most introverted person will at some point in his or her life have to attend an event. From weddings to funerals, from nonprofit galas to company picnics, you cannot avoid small talk, worrying about what to wear or what to drink, and the dreaded "my feet hurt" when you simply cannot find somewhere to sit. Events are a way of life, and eventually you're going to have to go to one.
I started my career planning political fundraisers, and then moved into the realm of nonprofit events and conferences, weddings, and even planned a funeral in my day. Recently, I've dedicated my time to Step Up Women's Network as the chair of its Shine & Dine Gala, and I'm so excited this week marks the event coming to fruition.
So in honor of Shine & Dine and all of the events you might be attending this summer or in the future, I'm bringing you the 5 "Don't's" for attending events. These are the cardinal sins you shall not commit from weddings to funerals to networking events.
- Never never never remove your shoes at an event. Any coworker or intern who has ever worked with me or for me knows I have this rule and I never let anyone break it. There is literally no time or place at any event or outing where it is permissible to remove your shoes (the only exception is for an event where yoga or another athletic and appropriately barefoot activity occurs). What happens when you remove your shoes at an event? You look either A) drunk or B) sloppy, or the worst….sloppy drunk. I don't care how much your feet hurt, barefoot in a cocktail dress is never pretty. So wear shoes you can stand in, not the ones you'll inappropriate kick off on the dance floor.
- Don't get drunk. No really, don't. I've heard far too many stories about sales conferences or staff outings where someone has just one too many drinks and suddenly becomes "that girl." Don't be that girl! You're an adult, and by this time in your life, you should know your tolerance for alcohol. Take that into consideration at the beginning of the night, not in the middle when you've already gone too far. You have enough class and beauty to be interesting and captivating on one or two glasses of wine, not five or six.
- Never neglect transportation. Especially when you're attending a large-scale event like a sporting event or a concert, never neglect that you need to get home somehow. Can you catch a cab on the corner after the Bulls game gets out? Unlikely. Take the time to plan ahead. Find a ride with a friend, call Uber to pick you up, or bring your own car if you can. No one wants to be left standing along on a street corner with your arm up unable to get a taxi. Plan ahead! And always always always bring some cash to pay the cabbie if you need it.
- Don't forget, every event is a networking opportunity! If you're attending a gala or other kind of social event, it may be tempting to leave the business cards at home and forget about networking for the night. Wrong! You're likely going to be meeting people at your table, in line for the bar, and throughout the evening. Don't waste the opportunity to make good connections for your career just because the event is a social one.
- Don't go in without knowing what you're doing. Most organizations or event planners will send out a detailed agenda of the event in the days prior. Take time to read these details! You never want to be the person who walks in during the quietest part of the event because you wanted to be "fashionably late." Read the fine print, have a plan for the evening, and don't go in expecting to follow someone else's lead. Know the details!
So whenever you're attending an event, do your homework, have fun, and prepare in advance so you won't become the perpetrator of one of these "don't's."

Advances in Accounting, Volume 18
1st Edition
Secure CheckoutPersonal information is secured with SSL technology.
Free ShippingFree global shipping
No minimum order.
Advances in Accounting" was founded to provide a forum for discourse among and between academic and practising accountants on issues of significance to the future of the discipline. Emphasis was placed on original commentary and creative research that would substantively advance our understanding of behavioural and financial markets phenomena relevant to real world choices. Technology and global competition have brought tremendous changes in business and accounting. A wide array of unsolved questions continue to challenge a profession that defies definition and which is continuously reinventing itself. This volume focuses on questions of the "value added" by accounting information and audit services. Articles explore the important task of valuing corporate entities, and investigate challenges currently faced by auditors (client selection, pricing behaviour, and audit quality). Finally, contributors address the human side of career opportunities in the discipline and whether adequate human resources are flowing into the profession today. The theme of this collective effort is new solutions for new problems.

All Saints First School is a popular village school situated in the pretty village of Church Leigh which serves the surrounding villages of Leigh and Withington whilst also attracting children from Bramshall, Stramshall, Uttoxeter, Checkley and Tean. It was founded in 1857 and was extended in the 1970s in keeping with its Victorian charm. A further extension was added in 2011 to provide the school with a new entrance, offices and school hall. This has resulted in a lovely spacious facility.

Today when booting my computer (10.04 32-bit, System76 lemur) Ubuntu ran the hard drive scan -- as it was finishing the screen went black with this message:
(process:301): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r (): failed due to unknown user id (0)
No key functions seemed to work. I restarted the computer with the power switch and it has since been functioning fine... what happened? Is there something wrong?
