i like to think i am quite an editorial stylist, i love more cutting edge styles and i love to make things look different from the norm.
I'm 20 years old, from Glasgow. Recently moved to Edinburgh for my career to work with hairdressers who have a similar passion for hair as i do, and who i can learn a lot from. iI don't often feel like doing hair is "work," and i do as much events out of the salon as much as i can.

Canada in must-win semifinal at Pan Am sitting volleyball championships
SAO PAULO, Brazil – Canada earned a big dose of confidence for Friday's semifinal match against Brazil with strong performances in its final two round robin matches on Thursday at the Pan Am championships in women's sitting volleyball.
The Canadians need to win the tournament or place second to the U.S., if the Americans win, in order to gain a spot at next year's Paralympic Games in London.
On Thursday, the Canadians showed Brazil, they'll be a tough semi opponent losing a hard fought match to the Brazilians 26-24, 25-20, 25-23. Canada capped the round robin with an impressive victory over Colombia in the evening 25-3, 25-5, 25-13.
Canada is fielding a 10-member team with three members from Alberta: Allison Lang, Amber Skyrpan and Jolan Brunner, all of Edmonton. Danielle Ellis and Jordan Funnell are both from Surrey, B.C.; Karen McKoy and Chantal Beauchesne, both of Ottawa.
Manitoba has two players: Emerald Kehler of MacGregor and Leanne Muldrew of Winnipeg. Leaha Hickman of Lashburn, Sask., rounds out the squad.
Dusty Freimark of Edmonton is the head coach and Janna Dubyk of Edmonton, the assistant.
The medal matches will be held Saturday.

Awful material. He is charismatic though, so you can sit through his nonsense. The only part I smiled was when he lip synched to Justin Timberlake, but come on, how original is that?

Wonderful, went to see him on thursday night and really enjoyed - he actually tugged at our heart strings whilst having us in stitches. An odd feeling...but kind of nice

Listen to Ariana Grande on iHeartRadio
Ariana Grande has left her Arianators sufficiently teased after posting several pictures from her upcoming lyric video to Instagram.
We don't know what the next single is (They Don't Understand?" "My Everything?"), but we do know that the video will involve swirls and legs for days. We can't wait for the grand(e) reveal.
Take a look below—what do YOU hope her next single is?

Q: Do you think we'll get to see the two remaining espada in secunda etapa? I figured that since tia and grimmjow are still alive, they'l probably play some role into the story to come, but HArribel was easily defeated and we know she wasn't really weak. My opinion is that they'll have to go trogh a powerup, and the only thing i can think of is secunda etapa. Hopefully tite kubo will explain to us how it is achieved and why only ulwuiorra possessed it.
There might have been an explanation of it in the Data(?)Book called masked or unmasked. There was Ulq's back story in it as well.
Theoretically, when Arrancars release their Swords, they release their true forms with all of their power, along with regaining some of their original hollow-like appearance. So it should work more like a Bankai for Shinigami. Of course, if an Arrancar was able to grow his Shinigami side, to the point that an inner spirit, (with a different personality) that controls his/her power with, would be born, could allow for another form that surpasses that of a release of their hollow powers... or that being would simply gain additional powers along with a Zanpakutou the same as Shinigami have. After all, Tousen was able to have both, a Shikia/Bankai along with Ressurection, so why would it be impossible for an Arrancar to gain a True Zanpakutou ? Not to mention that after Ichigo have become a real hollow, he still could use his Bankai. So, if they were to gain new powers/would level up, I think that it would be about growing their Shinigami side (unless Urahara had something other in mind).
Here's a good one for ya: What happened to chapter 523?
Just how exactly are the Quincy's more depraved and malevolent than AIZEN ever was!?
Aren't they simply exacting vengeance for the Quincy massacre? I'm not saying revenge is benevolent, just pointing out that it's quite not on the level of "creating life, killing the king, and taking the throne of God."
Look at the page before the link for the source of the quote.
This is a real question, maybe I'm missing something. Or something has yet to be revealed about the Quincys.
idk I think Aizen was kinda like the anti quincy. The Quincy were destroying hollows from the very existence of the world upsetting the balance of hollow-human-plus's but then aizen was pretty much vaporizing shinigami and pluses and humans till they dissapeared from the world too. Just like how he tore the spirit train thing in the world between to pieces it messed everything up
A pie in the sky?
sooo I have a question for you guys.
We all know, from recent events, that if your Zan breaks in Shikai it can be repaired (not to 100%). However, if it breaks while in Bankai then you have a big problem.
Q: Didnt Ichigo break Byakuya's Bankai during the Rescue Rukia arc? I distinctly remember both their swords clashing and Ichigo's Bankai cutting through Byakuya's. Then Byakuya saying something along the lines of "you won, my bankai couldnt reach you" or something like that.

The Reds' No. 14 prospect surrendered just one hit over six shutout innings as the Class A Advanced Bakersfield Blaze defeated the Stockton Ports, 8-1, for their 10th consecutive win.
"It's been the whole team [contributing]," Cingrani said."It's different guys every time. It's fun."
The outing marked the third time in four starts that Cingrani has held his opponent without a run, giving him a California League-leading 0.39 ERA. In his one loss, he yielded two runs -- one earned -- in four innings to the San Jose Giants.
"I'm just throwing the fastball in spots," Cingrani said. "It's my favorite pitch to throw. Luckily, I've had some good defense behind me and I'm striking out a bunch of people. I'm just trying to keep them off base. Luckily, there hasn't been a wind-blown home run yet."
Cingrani had little trouble from the start of Thursday's contest, working around a two-out walk in the first to retire eight of the first nine batters he faced. The only hit he gave up came with two outs in the third, when Myrio Richard doubled to center field, but the 22-year-old left-hander got out of the frame by inducing a flyout off the bat of Ryan Pineda.
"I threw a fastball I think he took for a strike and a fastball he swung at, might've been a foul tip, for a strike," Cingrani said. "I tried to elevate it, but I put it right in his wheelhouse and he hit it right in the gap for a double."
The Rice University product was nearly perfect after that. The only runner to reach base over the final three innings was Pineda, who got on board with two outs in the sixth on a fielding error by shortstop Billy Hamilton.
Overall, Cingrani fanned at least one batter in five of his six innings, including three frames in which he struck out two. He ended the game with eight punchouts, bringing his season total to 28 in 23 innings.
Donald Lutz enjoyed a strong offensive performance for the Blaze, collecting a homer, a triple and two RBIs. Hamilton, the Reds' No. 2 prospect, went 3-for-4 with four steals, two runs scored and an RBI out of the leadoff spot. After swiping 103 bases last year, he already leads the league by 11 with 23 steals this season.
"He got to first in the first inning, stole second, stole third and scored on a dropped third strike," Cingrani said. "He creates things in a baseball game I've never seen before. He's a couple levels above people. I've never seen someone like that before."
The Blaze will look to keep their streak going in Modesto, where they will take on the division-rival Nuts for the first time this season. Modesto currently owns a 9-12 record, 4.5 games behind Bakersfield in the California League North Division.
"Everybody's got to keep working hard," Cingrani said. "Just keep going out every day and having fun. Not get too high, not get too low. Keep going out, putting up the numbers that we're putting up, and we'll be good."

Skip to comments.Study Shows More Iowans Go Hungry (Yet More Obese: Huh?)
Posted on 07/20/2007 11:50:57 PM PDT by hawkeye101
Study Shows More Iowans Go Hungry
A new study shows more Iowans are going hungry.
The study by Drake University found that more than one of every ten households are reporting limited or recurrent lack of access to nutritional and safe food. It also connects a lack of healthy food options to obesity in low-income households.
The 2007 Hunger in Iowa Report indicates that more Iowans are skipping meals or eating cheaper and less healthy food because of their inability to get nutritional food in a social acceptable way.
Other reports were released in 2001 and 2003.
The reports are by Susan Roberts, who has a law degree from Drake specializing in food and agricultural law.
She says every report shows there is hunger in Iowa, and that it's getting worse, even though nationally it's the opposite.
O.k., these poor children are starving:
These children are not:
While the second set of children are unhealthy and will eventually have health problems, their existance doesn't even compare to the horrible pain and suffering of the truly starved and hungry of the world. Living in Iowa, I have never seen children that look like the ones in the first photo, yet I see children just like the ones in the second photo all over this state. The ignorance and vanity of this article just astounds me.
They've redefined hunger.
It no longer means not enough food.
It means not enough "nutritious" or perhaps tasty food. Or maybe people have a boring diet.
It sometimes even becomes a psychological phenomenon. The people are worried sometimes about whether they'll be hungry tomorrow or next week. This is classified as hunger.
It's an atrocious dimunition of the suffering of the millions who historically and even today have suffered true hunger. And it's being done for purely political reasons.
I think what they are suggesting is that people are eating junk food and that makes them fat. Well, duh, but then it goes on to imply that this junk is cheaper than nutritional food which is absolute nonsense. I will try to translate: We use all our food stamps on cases of soda, candy, chips and our favorite snack cracker and we can't afford nutritional food. Then of course either global warming, Bush or Republicans are to blame depending on your mood.
>>The 2007 Hunger in Iowa Report indicates that more Iowans are skipping meals or eating cheaper and less healthy food because of their INABILITY [emphasis my own] to get nutritional food in a social acceptable way.<<
I guess taking along a lunchbox packed with nutritious goodies lovingly prepared at home by Mom is no longer considered "socially acceptable."
Well, it's obvious that it's time for the STATE to step in and take charge of this problem.
And yet I don't see them suffering from lack of cigarettes or lottery tickets. Did the study look for a correlation?
You must have a constituency in Iowa (hunger advocates and the people who staff the programs based on their findings) who are worried about sustaining full employment. They have to put out a report like this every couple of years to get their funding renewed.
I'm not kidding.
Consider yourself fortunate that you have never had to subsist on a diet of ramen noodles alternated with red beans and rice (seasoned with the unused half of the ramen noodle flavor packet). And since the flavor enhancement of expensive preparation and seasoning can be somewhat offset by increased fat, salt, or sugar content, fatty and starchy foods are quite cheap relative to leaner fare.
While it's better than turning to crime or the public dole, it's not pleasant, and I'm glad you've never had to find out first-hand.
Sounds like a Dave Ramsey diet.
Herbs and spices are remarkably inexpensive on a per serving basis.
Starches are generally the cheapest foods. You can pick up 50 lbs. of rice for about $12 and 50 lbs. of beans for $20 at the local Costco. Interestingly, in 1957 the average retail price of navy beans was .16/lb, or $8 for 50 lbs., although presumably this does not include a discount for volume like the Costco price does. Still, it doesn't show a huge increase in the cost of this basic food, even without inflation being taken into account. .16 in 1956 money equates to $1.16 today, which is more than beans usually cost for a single pound today.
While not the most variable or perhaps enjoyable diet, that will provide the basis of a reasonably balanced diet for one person for about two months, at a cost of about 50 cents/day. An investment of another $10 at the local Dollar Store will get you enough spices to last at least this long, raising your cost to about 65 cents/day.
Admittedly this requires access to minimal cooking facillities, and some supplementation with vegatables is recommended to prevent deficiency diseases, but it is still possible to survive for remarkably little money.
The cost of basic foodstuffs has come down to a remarkable degree over the last 50 years, when inflation is considered. However, very few of us cook using basic foods, as a trip through the grocery store will show. Hardly any shelf space is given to flour, beans, rice, cornmeal and other basic foods. Everything is frozen or pre-prepared. Of course it costs more.
Notice that the article said stuff like "safe" and "nutritious" food. Undoubtedly the reporter visited some households where there was a bunch of chunky kids running around, but after checking the pantry found no "nutritional" food present. In her mind those kids were "hungry". What do you bet?
Is that boy in the second picture releasing greenhouse gasses?
You missed my point, or something. Candy, sodas, chips and other junk foods are not less expensive than nutritional food. No, I have never had to subsist on ramen noodles, nor would it have entered my mind to do so. I was taught the old ways as a child and wouldn't have even known what ramen noodles were. I did know how to hunt and trap game, grow food, and even go to the forest and get some possum grapes for grape dumplings for dessert. So, don't chide me because you obviously misinterpreted what I wrote and have no idea about what I have had to "subsist" on.
Believe me, I know. The state revenue "service" wrote me a letter claiming that there was no way I could subsist on an income as low as reported on my tax filing, and they demanded an explanation. Note that I mentioned red beans and rice in my post.
The disadvantage is, however, that starches break down quickly, and fats are more efficient for staving off hunger pangs. Plus, high-starch diets lead to insulin resistance.
I did not misinterpret what you wrote. My point is that it's not necessarily candy, soda, chips, and junk foods. While I agree that many are taking the path you mentioned, the fact is that it's not necessarily that way.
I did know how to hunt and trap game
The traps that allowed my family to survive have been passed down through the generations, and I still use my grandpa's rifle, but as the article states, the problem is with "...socially acceptable..." means of sustenance. It's awfully tough to run a trap-line or live off hunting or gardening these days, if one is in an urban or suburban setting (where the jobs tend to be). And heck, people thought I was joking when I was in grad school and mentioned eating squirrel.
So my point stands, it is difficult for many people to eat nutritiously, without obesity, on low income, even if they eschew "junk foods."
Hadn't heard of Dave Ramsey at the time. It was just what I could afford and make in my hot pot for a few cents of electricity. :-)
I bought a 1 1/2 lb loaf of 100% whole wheat bread in Iowa this week for $1.50 at HyVee. Beans and whole grains are cheap, and are really cheap in bulk from a food co-op. Add in some milk and collard greens and carrots and some apples and you have great nutrition for very little money.
This is a problem of taste and habits, not poverty.
This study sounds like one that says poor children cannot afford a college education(which means they all aren't being given a free ride to Harvard.)
Sounds like she is just shaking the money tree, looking for clients.
I believe this is incorrect, as most of the world's population would suffer if this were correct. Historically and today in third world countries, most people subsist pretty exclusively on grain (rice, wheat, corn) and legumes.
I believe insulin resistance is more likely to be caused by high consumption of processed carbohydrates or sugars, not by grains and beans. Until quite recently in human history sugar and other processed carbohydrates, notably corn syrup, were not available, certainly not in sufficient quantity to pose a health problem. In addition, they were expensive and thus unavailable to the poor.
Plus, we get back to the fact that the "healthier" starches tend to be the more expensive ones.
Did someone alert John Edwards?????
Whatever attention such areas need does not include any involuntary redistribution of wealth through taxation. It might include government agencies calling attention to the need, preparing initial reports from data usually discovered in the day-to-day business of existing agencies (often agricultural agencies), and then making the appeals to private organizations that already involve themselves in these kinds of projects.
IF we have serious malnutrition problems in certain areas of the United States where people try to work and don't seem to have enough, then I believe preference should be given to those domestic areas over over any foreign country.
Any government, including ours, or any charitable organization, could literally, easily bankrupt itself, fully exhausting its resources to feed people in African, Asian and island countries. It would take less than a week to empty the bank. The poverty would not thereby cease, and afterward would rage like a wildfire, more out of control than ever. There would be no benefactors remaining who could help.
In African and Island nations, particularly, the root problems cannot be fixed with releases of cash. I believe that most here already know that. It is not the remedy in impoverished American areas either.
There are VERY OFTEN religious, cultural, and clan (sometimes related to race) reasons for poverty and hunger. If we are not allowed to suggest changes to these things, people will often continue in those conditions.
Between jobs in my younger years, it was cheaper to buy bags of potatoes, bread, cheap meat, etc. than fruits, veggies and fish. And, now with all the store brands, food is even cheaper.
Of course, I'm great at rationalizing anything when it comes to food. LOL
Look, you know that and I know that but apparently there are others who are missing this very obvious truth. I think if the study wasn't biased and produced detailed conclusions we would all see these people are receiving assistance and as I said before, "squandering the assistance on junk", not because junk is cheaper, but because that's what they want. Anyone who thinks buying junk food is cheaper than nutritious food simply hasn't been in a grocery store in a while. You can buy a Twinkie or a pound a beans, your choice. If people were getting fat because they could not afford nutritious food you would expect to see lots of skinny suburbanites and that's just not the case. In America, Leftists can't just "help" they have to indoctrinate and keep piling on the "help" to keep their voting class. Food Stamps were stupid at the start and to then allow them to be used to get soda, snack foods, candies, etc. was beyond stupid. None of this had anything to do with the poor. It was about securing a dependency and a sure vote come election time by throwing money at a problem and hoping it went away. I have seen hungry children and it hurts and also I have seen what this article is speaking about and they are not the same. I have seen both among my own people, they left the "old ways" and now obesity and diabetes are rampant in every tribe. I held to what I was taught and I can't even remember my last potato chip or snack cake. I do have an affinity now for an occasional A&W Rootbeer or those new cherry cordial Hershey's kisses (ever tried them they're addictive, lol?), but very rarely. The first problem is ignorance, laziness or passivity, the other is food stamps which should be eliminated for a cheaper, healthier alternative. I have many ideas, but I have prattled enough. :)
It's very simple. More people can't afford food, and those who can afford food are too dumb to eat properly balanced and portioned meals.
No contradiction there at all.
I have never seen children that look like the ones in the first photo
There are some kids in iowa that go hungry once in a while. They are the one's who's parents are on meth and never sleep. They can't remember what day it is and can't remember if they fed their kids or not.
"high-starch diets lead to insulin resistance.
I believe this is incorrect, as most of the world's population would suffer if this were correct. Historically and today in third world countries, most people subsist pretty exclusively on grain (rice, wheat, corn) and legumes.
I believe insulin resistance is more likely to be caused by high consumption of processed carbohydrates or sugars, not by grains and beans. Until quite recently in human history sugar and other processed carbohydrates, notably corn syrup, were not available, certainly not in sufficient quantity to pose a health problem. In addition, they were expensive and thus unavailable to the poor."
Ding ding, we have a winner.
Fructose, which is in EVERYTHING, sugar, which is more rare now, and refined white flour (removes all the good stuff) is the culprit.
Remove fructose from the diet, and it's amazing what illnesses just go away.
Go look at one of the prepared lunches, Snackables, or whatever they are called, and look at the amounts of sugars, fructose syrup, and other crap is in them.
Thats why those two kids look the way they do - i remember the show they were on, and they ate primarily a diet of prepared foods and fast food.
The food industry knows what sells, and it's sweet. Make something sweet, people will buy more. They are fully aware of what they are doing. They only move when forced, like with trans-fats, which they shoved down our throats, literally, for decades, because it was cheaper. Same for fructose.
True indeed. Meth really is a cultural and social "black plague" that Iowa has and will be struggling with for many years to come. What meth does to an individual is appalling, but what it does to innocent family members, especially children, is truly criminal.
Iowa had, by far, the worst economy of any state over the last 50 years (thats another point I like to discuss), but rampant hunger is not a problem Iowa really faces. However, rampant poor nutrition and low physical activity is something that is a problem, just as it is in the rest of the country, and the western world. I drive through the poorest neighborhoods in Des Moines on a weekly basis, and see elementary and secondary schools filled with morbidly obese children at an alarming percentage.
Lazy parenting, in my opinion. Give a kid pop, candy, chips, a TV, and a handful of video games and they won't come out of their rooms for a whole day. The only thing a kid cares about these days is nintendo or xbox. When I was a kid, the most prized possession was a schwinn. You had to pedal it to make it work. Moms used to cook real food back then from scratch. And there was only one tv per house with only three channels on it. If two of those channels came in well, you were happy. Now every kid has his own tv with cable and his own collection of movies and video games and a cell phone and a computer with internet. There's no reason to ever leave his room, except to go to the store to buy more video games. Why wouldn't kids be fat nowdays?
Pot Roast
Mashed Potatoes
Carrots and Peas
Made-from-Scratch Biscuits
Homemade Apple Pie (o.k., now I'm hungry :))
Since then, we have gradually programmed kids and adults to think that fast food, Doritos, Hostess Cakes, and corn-sweetened beverages are far superior to the good foods of the past, and that eating at fast food places is a mark of societal achievment, with the help from Madison Avenue marketers telling us "We deserve a Break Today". This attitude has even permeated into the lower-income population of the U.S., because 50+ years ago poor people in this country had to buy the bare nutritional essentials to survive, and they had to make everything from scratch. The lower income population now have more access to processed 'glop', and they believe that eating processed fast foods is cheaper than eating healthier foods. Also, they may have seen that eating at fast food places and dining on high sugar and fatty foods was being done by the middle and upper income populations, so they decided to emulate this behavior, not realizing that being poor is hard, but being poor plus overweight and unhealthy is even harder.
The other side of the Food Stamp program is that it is corporate welfare for farmers, food companies and grocery stores. From the taxpayers pocket into their till.
Transfats were also pushed, in the beginning, because they were an alternative to the evil saturated fats that were at the time thought to cause essentially all health problems. They were originally viewed as part of the solution, not as a new problem.
Unintended consequences and all that.
It quite obvious, the fat people are hogging up all of the food. After a while the skinny people are too weak to fight them for it.
I never realize Iowa was like that.
It would be interesting to run comparison of the sugar and fat content of this meal to a Big Mac, fries and coke.
I'm sure the Big Mac is worse, but I suspect not as much worse as a lot of people today think. The "old-style" diets, as in your post, were largely meat and potatoes. Not exactly what we think of today as a healthy diet.
DING DING DING!!!! We have a winner!
LOL! I cn't tell you how many cans/bags of beans, black eyed peas, and lentils I have. Usually I add a little kielbasa or chicken, carrots, onions, and celery and make hearty soups. I'm diabetic, so I have to watch the carbs and don't eat much rice, but a nice bean soup is full of fiber and is good for me.
Strange, every can of beans I buy is the 'Dave Ramsey' brand; the man must be making a mint.
Oh yeah, I live in Iowa. I guess the hungry people aren't shopping where I shop, 'cause none of these folks out here look like they've missed a meal.
Diet's got to have a lot to do with it.
The neighborhood I live in is having lots of southern Mexicans and Central Americans moving in, probably almost all illegals. Short, thin people.
Some, including their kids, are much fatter than others. I bet an interview, which would probably terrify the poor people, would show a direct correlation between time in America and increased body mass.
A major factor is soda. 75 years ago Coke was sold in 6 oz. containers. Today it is frequently sold in 64 oz. containers. That alone is a truly massive increase in calories. One of those giant containers has something like 700+ calories, all of it fructose from corn syrup, which another poster has pointed out may be uniquely prone to cause various obesity and health problems.
Interestingly, when fructose from corn syrup first started to be widely used it was promoted as being better for health than the old "regular sugar."
LOL! It's a vicious place. You should see the Amish out here, wrestling starving children to the ground for an ear of corn.
Q. Why do you not see poor people at Costco?
A. Poor people never have the extra $50.00 that it takes to join the first time you shop there. That is how they filter out the riff-raff.
Until quite recently the fee was $35, but I must admit the clientele is a little more upscale than what you see at Walmart.
Since when did "hunger" get redefined as "limited or recurrent lack of access to nutritional and safe food"?

1A purse and its contents, including credit cards, were taken from a car parked at Bayside Middle School, 601 E. Ellsworth Lane, between 2:15 and 2:50 p.m. Oct. 10. A window was broken for entry, causing about $200 damage. The victim said her purse was under a blanket in the back seat.
2Four men, ages 21, 22, 23, 25 and from Milwaukee, Mequon, Brown Deer and Florissant, Mo., were arrested for police obstruction after they all lied to police, including two who claimed the other two tried to rob them, in the 4300 block of West Brown Deer Road at 11:45 p.m. Sept. 18.

The woman used another woman's identity, including her Social Security number, to open a $1,000 line of credit at the store, which she then used to purchase two carts full of merchandise. As she and the man left, the identity theft was discovered. They were found a few blocks away sitting in their car focusing on the GPS unit. The woman denied the identity theft, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about." The man, who had a fake driver's license, admitted his friend made for him. The back area of the car, seats pulled down, was covered with stolen merchandise along with a number of Michigan driver's licenses, credit cards and receipts from other stores in and around the city.

Here's the chart of gold getting back to positive territory even before word that the Federal Reserve plans to maintain its $85 billion monthly purchases of bonds. It's a more dovish outcome than many on Wall Street anticipated.
In the minutes after the news, gold futures turned a morning loss into a 2.3% rise. The futures contract trades for $1,340 shortly after 2 p.m. SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU) are rising a similar 2.2%.
SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is ahead by 0.6% to $172.02 as the S&P 500 touches an all-time high. Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is ahead by nearly 6%. The triple-leveraged Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) has surged by more than 13%, while Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) falls by a similar amount.
My colleague Mike Aneiro points out Treasury bond prices are leaping on the news. iShares Total Core Bond Market ETF (AGG) is rising by 0.4%.
Over at BTIG, strategist Dan Greehaus asks, "Can the Fed *Ever* Exit?":
Even though the Fed acknowledges that things have picked up since they began QE3 late last year, they "decided to await more evidence that progress will be sustained before adjusting the pace of its purchases." This is not what we expected however it is, from the Fed's point of view, understandable. However, if the tightening of financial conditions, which was partially a result of the Fed's decision to discuss slowing asset purchases, is enough to forestall an actual reduction, then in theory the Fed can never cease purchasing assets unless there is no adverse reaction in asset markets. It becomes a negative cycle in which the Fed would find itself trapped.

Should you be allowed to legally FORCE everyone in your state/nation, to buy "Insurance X", to make sure that if someone does arson your house, the damages will be covered?
That is equal, analytically, to car insurance.
The entire authoritarian argument on this thread is that security over essential freedom is somehow necessary for this specific situation, and that majority rule is something to be respected.
How moronic.
I think since there's a chance you might blunder into me and make me trip and sprain my ankle on the sidewalk someday, I should be allowed to charge you 100 bucks a day in the form of "Insurance X" just so any health or other damages are covered in case you do so.Stupid thread, really, really stupid! JMHO
If you can fine me for car damages that I never caused, I can fine you for that.
You tried this before, and - like a zombie - you continue to trudge forward right through my repudiation of the comment. Let's see if you do it again.Should you be allowed to legally FORCE everyone in your state/nation, to buy "Insurance X", to make sure that if someone does arson your house, the damages will be covered?
Arson requires a conscious criminal act. It is - by definition - illegal. There is no protected behaviour wrt to undertaking arson, therefore it is not analogous to driving, which is a protected behaviour (read: a licensed privilege).
There is no action associated with arson that puts someone's house at risk as a result of engaging in it. The closest I could come to offering one wouldn't fit the description of arson, but I'll offer it anyway.
If you contract a plumber or electrician to do work in your home, your home is exposed to a risk of fire as a consequence of that work. Such a fire would - necessarily - be the result of an unfortunate accident.
Like the driver, both the plumber and electrician are required to carry insurance to protect both themselves and your property from damage.
That better make sense to you, or you will be in serious jeopardy of being put on my ignore list.
My rewrite of your attempt at an analogy is analogous. Yours was not.That is equal, analytically, to car insurance.

All insurance produces a "moral hazard," which means people tend to behave more recklessly when the responsibility for their actions is removed. People without insurance tend to take risk more seriously.
The real division is not between conservatives and revolutionaries but between authoritarians and libertarians.

GDB6: Put it behind you
October 23 2008 04:24PM
Sometimes things just don't go right. Sometimes it just isn't your day. Sometimes even though you have well trained troops, an excellent strategy and remorseless intelligence gatherers who are incapable of showing compassion you just can't determine the exact location of the guerilla hideout.
It's kind of like the time Britney Spears showed up at the VMAs out of shape, out of practice, irrationally confident and totally blew it (pun intended.) It's kind of like the Oilers showing up in Chicago last night with their little heads full of "best start since 1986" dreams dancing in their heads. They showed up looking gross too and were completely out of it – and mailed in one of the worst Oilers games we have seen in awhile.
So what do you do?
Put it behind you.
Take a page out of Britney's book. Dump your crazy Lebanese manager and fly in your Dad who is immediately court ordered to take away all your PCP and forces you at gunpoint into the gym, the recording studio, the gym, the recording studio and finally the gym with little concern for your sanity or long term health.
The bottom line here is immediate success Nation.
And frankly that's what we need to see tonight. A quick comeback engineered with little regard for long term stability.
Is Souray hurt? Don't care – throw him over the boards.
Oh you're concerned about the goaltending situation and want to give everyone a shot? Nope. Garon in – everyone else out.
But what about the children? Hang the children. It's time for a bounce back win.
Keys to success
- Score more than 0 goals. This may seem counter intuitive to some. "But Wanye, what if the game plan is to force a scoreless tie and win in a shoot out?" Let's try abandoning that game plan for an instant and just say start with potting a goal.
- Play some defense. This may also fly in the face of anyone who shelled out $14 to watch the crap-a-thon last night but believe us when we say "defense wins games." Maybe all those people who sit in front of Charlie Huddy on the Oilers bench can assist with this. After all, they have gone to all the trouble of putting on skates and elbow pads – why not play a little defense while you are waiting for your turn to spit on the bench floor?
- Throw a career sidelining body check. We aren't saying that it should be an Oiler that gets hurt. That's cruel. Now an Avalanche on the other hand … they could sustain an MCL tear and we would sleep soundly tonight.
They are all insured, it will be fine.
The team will be hurtin' with Staois out of the lineup. He's really the only reliable defensive defenceman we have. Souray should get rest if he needs it. There's no point to him hurting himself worse.
At the end of the day, Horc and Hemsky need to show up or be demoted. I personally would like to see what a Gagner-Horcoff-Cole line would do. Everyone bitching about Nilsson needing to play with Hemsky needs to remember what they forgot about Cole. They play the same damned wing. Give it up already.
4-2 win. Gagner with 3 pts. Cole with 2 goals.
October 23 2008, 04:53PM
Ender, are you are you actually suggesting the human pylon is our best defenseman? Have you watched an Oilers game before. On many nights Steve Staios is the retarded cousin that you have to acknowledge and be nice to but no one really likes.
As far as I know Hemsky and Horcoff still have more points than the zero that Gagner is rocking. So your put up or be demoted theory makes no sense. Give your head a shake.
October 23 2008, 04:58PM
FYI Nilsson plays LW and Hemsky plays RW. Cole is currently playing the LW, but likes the RW better. So Nilsson and Hemsky does make sense if MacT tries it.
October 23 2008, 05:02PM
Predictions for tonight
Souray and Moreau pound everything they can reach
Gagner breaks Goose Egg
Garon Plays exceptionally well in spite of a few defensive lapses
MacTavish blends the lines
the Towel Boy creates a picture of a Pylon in Staios' hockey gear
Nice trolling baggedmilk.
If we were only looking at points (which you apparently are) that would be one thing. But if you actually watch the game, Cole is not the problem on that line. Cole is the only one on that line who has been playing well.
Likewise, Staios might be a pylon, but he's a pylon who blocks a whole lot of shots in a game. No Staios means less blocked shots, which means more deflections/rebounds, which means more goals (in the long run). Name one other defensive defenceman on the team - just one - whose name isn't Smid.
They'll have a hard time on the PK without him, and will also have a hard time against tough opp without him *unless* the O plays decent defense, which Horc and Hemsky haven't been.
Just because Gagner isn't on the scoresheet doesn't mean he hasn't done as much for the team as Horc and Hemsky have over the first 5 games. Either way, if Hemsky wants to play with Horcoff so damned badly, and the first line is doing nothing, who else are you going to put there? Are you suggesting Nilsson - Cogliano - Cole? That would be a disaster.
According to the Oilers' site, Nilsson plays RW. In the games I've seen, though they do criss cross quite a bit, I always got the impression Cogs was playing center with Gagner on the left.
October 23 2008, 05:28PM
Dear Ender,
I would gladly lose the blocked shots that Staios provides and gain less giveaways without him in the lineup. Riming the puck around the boards and trying to the one in a million clearing through center is what I called Stellar D.
Unless you have dislexia, then I apologize, but I did not mention Cole at all in my post. They don't have chemistry as a line. If you do have dislexia then Pagner is a gasser lust hike Jemsky. The obvious choice would be try to rekindle the the chemistry from last season and move Penner up to the first line.
Don't come at me with your wikianswers analysis and pretend to pass off someones opinion as your own.
Congrats, baggedmilk, on making hostile comments here. I thought all of that BS was left on other Oilers blogs. Good on you.
The hostility begins! Let's see it transfer to the ice now.
Good, good. Your anger will sustain the Oil.
October 23 2008, 06:11PM
No problem sport. I've got a reputation to maintain after all.
5-3 Oilers tonight, big game from Pisani.
Doesn't matter who goes on that first line with Hemsky. Until he gets his shit together, there will be no chemistry luv on the first line. Frankly, I think he's hurt and trying to work through it.
Also, don't knock Gagner quite yet. He's been playing his ass off and its just a case where nothing has gone in yet. I suspect he's dealing with a ton of pressure to be the second coming of 99. Once he scores a few and settles down, watch out!
October 23 2008, 06:51PM
Baggedmilk, I see what you're saying there...but dude, do you have to be such a douchebag about it? Seriously, is it worth it?
Avs win 3-1
October 23 2008, 07:00PM
Doogie I am gentle as the summer breeze, but if a guy serves it up he better be able to take it. Staios is gross, we all know this, I just let my mind child out there through the beauty of similes. Ya dig?
Just throwin' this out there, but I wonder if Staios was just told he's been traded and had to go home and set things up?
Hemmer 1 goal, Penner 1 goal and an assist, Cole 2 goals, Nilson 1 goal.
October 23 2008, 07:21PM
I am prediciting a high scoring affair.
Oilers win 6-5 Visnovski with 4 points and Fernando with 2 et le but's
Bon Soir - that means have a bud light....dont mind if I do
Here's the thing. I know this might be an odd concept around blog circles (especially Oilers blogs) but I actually enjoy "discussing" things. Not "arguing" or "defending" but just discussing. With all of the trash talk with regards to CiO over the last week or two, it's become reasonably clear that people take this sports blogging stuff way too seriously and personally, and t turns into this ridiculous high-school-like environment where instead of having your parents buy you an expensive car, you instead get a free blogger account and yap about whatever the fuck you want. The free blogger blog has somehow become the muscle car, the Hummer, the giant towering building. It's become something that many use to compensate for something else. And when someone wants to discuss the topic that the author of the post actually wrote, there's often someone right in there talking the big talk, and just being a twat, in general.
When people do that shit, it stops being fun for me. It really does. Sure, I could ignore you, but what would that accomplish? Likewise I could say something about how unsurprising it is that the people at that Pens blog didn't give a damn about what you wrote. But really, what would any of that accomplish? SOMEONE IS WRONG ON THE INTERNET!!!
I thought that none of those people posted here. Apparently now you do. Have fun with that. It's all yours.

Baggedmilk, let me put it another way. Why do you need to be hostile? What does it accomplish? I'm being perfectly serious, here. You were immediately rude to a fellow poster here when it wasn't necessary in the slightest. You could've expressed your disagreement with his idea without being condescending. It's actually a lesson a few people around the 'sphere could learn, if I'm being perfectly honest, but then again, people still give Vic Ferrari the time of day after some of the vile shit he said to Bruce a couple of months back, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised that arrogance and insults are the rule of the day.
But that's beside the point. The point is, being a jerk endears you to no one. I sure as hell have no authority here, but I'm asking you to just be a little nicer. Please.
Oh yes LOL we must never speak of that game. What game?

UCLA Law Review, Vol. 59, No. 5, 2012
UCLA School of Law Research Paper
Given the substantial and growing scientific literature on implicit bias, the time has now come to confront a critical question: What, if anything, should we do about implicit bias in the courtroom? The author team comprises legal academics, scientists, researchers, and even a sitting federal judge who seek to answer this question in accordance with "behavioral realism." The Article first provides a succinct scientific introduction to implicit bias, with some important theoretical clarifications that distinguish between explicit, implicit, and structural forms of bias. Next, the article applies the science to two trajectories of bias relevant to the courtroom. One story follows a criminal defendant path; the other story follows a civil employment discrimination path. This application involves not only a focused scientific review but also a step-by-step examination of how criminal and civil trials proceed. Finally, the Article examines various concrete intervention strategies to counter implicit biases for key players in the justice system, such as the judge and jury.

A little treat for the road!
Brian O'Neill
September 14 2009 01:15PM
After a long offseason, those Vancouver Canucks are starting to look like one piece of ACE. I know from experience if you know what I mean!Tonight at 7:30pm all starved hockey fans from around the globe (aka Canada and Minnesota) will be watching the Canucks bludgeon the Islanders to death in front of a bloodthirsty group of underprivileged children. By bludgeon to death I mean score goals, hopefully. We will get a chance to watch Shirokov - in HD - fight for roster spot. Let's hope he can live up to the 3000 pounds of hype the Vancouver faithful have dropped on his back.
Speaking of pressure, Cory Schneider had better start and finish this game. The Canucks need to get this piece of trade bait perfectly placed on the hook. With at least six good years of Lou ahead of them it's time to utilize our ginger cash cow. Look for Schneider to play like he wants to start on a different team this year.
Disappointments of the day! No Hodgson, Luongo, Twins, M. Schneider, Erhoff or Samuelsson. It's basically the Moose and Wellwood out there.
Regardless, I'm definitely fired up for some Canucks action tonight. Face-off at 7:30pm Sportsnet Pacific in Canada, NHL Network in the USA.

Apply to dry hair. At the part, use light, short strokes. At temples and hairline, slide the ColorMark comb under the hair, as close to the scalp as possible, then apply the product. The comb acts as a skin shield when applying ColorMark around the hairline and temple area.
.15 Doesn't Cover MuchIf you're looking to cover roots that have just begun to show--1/8 of an inch--and you only need to do this once before you go to the salon, then this is a great product. It does cover gray well.
My roots were about 2 inches (my hair grows fast), and I couldn't even get my part covered before I ran out. Forget about my temples.
Also, keep in mind that this washes out with shampooing. It's just too costly. I might as well get my hair colored if I have to buy three bottles in between coloring. Too bad they don't have larger sizes at competitive prices.Oct 24, 2012NancyHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair

The Best Gray Coverage Between Color Appointments!I have used a few and this is the best one yet. It is like a thick sharpie with hair color and no smell! Put directly on the gray roots and strays and it looks great. Your hair is a little stiff initially but you can comb your fingers through it and I think it actually helps my part stay in place which I like! I just asked my colorist what level of color I was and the color matches perfectly!Oct 1, 2011Nicolle / ChicagoHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair

I "guess" It's Doing What It's Supposed To...I've used this stuff a couple times now, after it was highly recommended by a hairstylist. I get little gray roots every two weeks, so the constant hair dying is starting to take its toll.
First of all, it's a little tough to apply. My hair is thin and fine and getting that little comb in the right place proves challenging. The the applicator is a little spongy thing, and it does get all that much dye on it to apply to hair. So it's a bit hit or miss, trying to hit every little gray root on my head. Once the dye is on, if I'm lucky enough to have covered the grays after 2-4 attempts, I let it dry. It appears wet and stuff, so I have to brush it afterward. It is just "okay" once I do all this. I can still see grays, my hair looks a little drab as though it's dirty (even after I just washed, dried, curled and styled it) and I realize that one of two things are true:
1. I need to learn how to use it more effectively, or have someone else do it.
2. there just is no real temporary fix for relentless sprouting grays.Sep 24, 2011KathyHAIR TYPEColor Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Works Like A Charm! Best Product Ever.Although it's fairly pricy, it's the solution for gray roots. The color stays, and it really covers gray. I part my hair several times and gently coat the roots allowing it to try as I move along each part. Afterwards, I look nearly like I just had a fresh color (not quite, but close enough till the next salon appt). I can't recommend it highly enough!Jun 14, 2011Angela L. / East BayHAIR TYPEAuburn / Curly Hair

Title: For the man who said life wasn't meant to be easy - make life impossible
Credit Line: National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
During the 1970s posters became an art form when artists capitalised on the cheap screenprint process as a political tool. The Earthworks Poster Collective, established in 1971, was the most active and well known of these groups. Sharp, flat colours and increasingly professional techniques were used to great advantage to produce posters of iconic power such as For the man who said life wasn't meant to be easy - make life impossible 1976, a multi-imaged send-up of former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser. Pasted up at night around Sydney, posters like this helped to politicise a generation.

Nice Chapter. Bach is setting up for his war, tho I must say more is needed to make him the villain. Look at how bad ass they set up Aizen, we need something similar.
...Don't be so quick to believe what Bach says is true, at least I don't.
2) its some sort of half-ass truth what juha bach mentioned and juha bach has some inner motive that ishida might know or not
......Dead On.
3) Chad and Inoue... what did urahara send them to do...
....I'm guess some equipment, some ingredients, to steal some stray sealed Bankais, or to seek out potential allies among remaining strong Arrancars
4) Masaki was pure quincy right? why did bach targeted her? is it like what everybody else is saying that because she became impure because of "whitey" inside of her....
....Dead On.
There probably isn't any time right now, but Isshin needs to take his son Home to meet the family officially, and be designated the Successor of the Shiba Clan after Isshin...... Gua..Ha..Ha.Haa!!
Compare what Urahara is doing with his time, and what Mayuri Kurotsuchi is doing with his time. A weirdo is gonna be a weirdo...
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
So was the holy selection a move or something that killed everyone in an instant? Or did he actually send his thugs out to kill everyone and Ishida just managed to survive? If its the former then damn thats quite a move to be able to kill anyone who wasn't a pure blood without even being there, just one jutsu.
Anyways am I the only one seeing this going the exact same way as the HM arc? Seriously, Yami smashes some chick in half when he gets annoyed, so does this girl to a guy. Secret hide away with a bunch of baddies working under a mad man with lots of secret plans and double crosses. Loud mouth bad guy wanting to beat up Ishida kinda like Grimmjow wanting to beat up Ichigo or whatever. If he has a top 10 then im going to loose my shit. At least with the Fullbringers it was a small group of misfits who all had a mission and worked together rather than under someone -_-
A pie in the sky?
www - walking with watchers , nice one kubo I laughed.
From what I remember there are 5 official arcs:
1. Introduction.
2. SS arc.
3. Aizen arc.
4. Fullbring arc
5. 1000 year bloody war arc.
So far, most notably in 3 of them, a set of two characters reoccurred:
- Renji & Byakuya,
- Grimjow & Ulquiora,
- Bazz-B & Hashvalt.
Yep, one character is a hot headed guy that wants to fight against the other cool headed, order loving/following guy that is superior than him. Everything else are simple twists around that set.
This might mean that again Ichigo will need to beat both of them, while unleashing a new or improved technique against the first one and unleashing a new form against the other.
The Holy Selection have sucked dry most of the mixed Quincy. From what Ishin said, it depended on Yhwach who was target and from the looks of it, Uryu is the only targeted person in history that it never worked on... supposedly.
I wonder what Ryuken is hiding. Almost every character in Bleach mentions that Uryu is a genius, very talented, posses vast potential or hidden power, yet Ryuken himself is the only one that says otherwise. Could it be that he exactly knows what lies within his son and that's why he wanted to stop him from reaching for it ?
I have to wonder if Masaki herself wouldn't have died soon after the selection, or if she would be able to survive thanks to the hollow in her ? After all, Bach said that every mixed Quincy beside Uryu have died because of it.
Almost forgot to mention that we might finally see Orihime in a real battle, against Orihime look a like . So she might battle the P-girl.
Matsumuto with Mashiro might battle the T-girl.
Hinamori with Hiyori might battle against the G-girl.
Lisa with Nanao might battle the Z-girl.
Rukia might battle the E-girl, or Komamura gets a rematch.
Urahara might battle against the D-guy. Likely as a test to see if they can steal his Bankai after modifications or whatever he is doing.

Doesn't it seem as though Kubo has totally abandoned Fullbring powers? We know he might bring them back though since The Shiba clan rescued former Fullbringers.

Where do you guys think the next battle will be? I hope its in Quincy world, I want a surprise attack from SS on them rather than the other way around as usual. And Id love to see Hitsugaya rampaging in that palace of ice!
The more characters that are released the longer this arc is going to be lol, at this rate its going to be another 10 years haha. Im good on Quincies though, lets get back to SS!

Henri de
France 1864 – 1901
The clown Cha-U-Kao
[La clownesse Cha-U-Kao] 1895
oil on card
card 64.0 (h) x 49.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Bequest of Count Isaac de Camondo 1911
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
The dancer Cha-U-Kao was one of Toulouse-Lautrec's favourite models of the mid 1890s. She derived her nickname from the sensational chahut chaos—a high-kicking dance popular at Parisian dance halls of the time, including the newly established Moulin Rouge. Established in October 1889, this was the seediest of venues, and a place where Toulouse-Lautrec became a habitué.
Cha-U-Kao frequented the Moulin Rouge, as well as appearing at the Cirque Nouveau. She appeared in a series of Toulouse-Lautrec's paintings dated 18951 and in his 1896 brothel series, Elles, where the artist had taken his cue from the Japanese ukiyo-e tradition of depicting prostitutes in their daily lives (following such examples as Kitagawa Utamaro's Twelve hours in the Yoshiwara c. 1794).
Described unceremoniously by the artist as the 'clown with tits',2 the present painting is one of the more finished that Toulouse-Lautrec made. The composition is covered with visible brushstrokes—in a bright palette of various greens for the wall paper, a mixture of reds for the fabric of the couch, and blue over black for the clownesse's costume. Most remarkable, and revealing Toulouse-Lautrec's dextrous brushwork, are the additions of luminous, almost translucent yellows for Cha-U-Kao's frills, and the pasty whites of her skin. The scene is an intimate one, where the clownesse is not under public gaze. The artist depicts her at an awkward moment, which is emphasised by the cropping of the voluminous folds of her gown to suggest they are billowing out further in the small space, and by the figure's concentration on the task of dressing. On the wall is a reflection of a man, perhaps a client, although Cha-U-Kao was well known in lesbian circles. This suggests another of Cha-U-Kao's roles.
In this world of the demimonde, Cha-U-Kao had once performed as a gymnast and had been extraordinarily subtle and slim, as evident in a photograph taken by Toulouse-Lautrec's close companion Maurice Guilbert, for whom she would pose. By 1895 however, the agile slender figure has metamorphosed into that of the ageing, overweight clownesse.
In some ways Cha-U-Kao's life—beginning with notoriety as a lithe-bodied performer, and ending with her sad demise and physical ruin—was a perfect example of Toulouse-Lautrec's interest in human physical destruction and decrepitude. This particular obsession of the artist was reinforced by his reading of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, first published in 1891 in English, and subsequently translated into French. Toulouse-Lautrec had become acquainted with Wilde, and painted Wilde's portrait in Paris the same year as this portrait of Cha-U-Kao.

But I absolutely LOVE this other side of him. He's a play-maker? He's playing defense? He's back-checking? He's a different player!!! This is the Kessel the Leafs want. The guy shoots a lot and should have more goals, so the goals will come. Don't simply say Lupal should be put back with Kessel so he can score! Are you kidding me? The goals will come, it's not like he's not getting shots. With Lupal or JVR, this is a different Kessel. This is the Kessel the Leafs should've had all along. (And if the Leafs keep winning, and Kessel's putting up assists, then who cares)
Lupul AND JVR
Exactly Joel, the plays that he has set up are as good as scoring the goals himself. Plus, like Joe Bowen said last night, "How many posts has he hit?" He's beating the goalie, it's just a matter of it going an inch the other way, maybe he just doesn't have that luck this year, or just not yet. But I like the way he has been playing this year, he is still always a scoring threat, he's making plays, and doing some back checking, he's becoming less of a one dimensional player many Leaf and non-Leaf fans have criticized him of being.
I wonder if Lupul + Grabovski can get something going? Who knows, all I know is I LIKE the JVR + Kessel combo.

It's been a godsend! I'd have been stuck to know how to keep him happy... I would have been struggling.
Heather is full time carer of her teenage grandson. She finds that having an internet-connected computer in the house makes the relationship much easier to manage.
She handles his computer use responsibly, and he, in turn, helps her with her internet searches. As a result, she feels able to say, "It's a good life. I shouldn't complain. I'm quite sorted."
It's very good. All the information we need is right at our fingertips and it can save a lot of money.
Robert likes to get a good deal so he was keen to buy a computer through the Get Online @ Home scheme.
It was already a good price, but Robert was chuffed that he got a further discount because he gets pension credit.
It hasn't taken long for Robert to see some return on his investment. He's already saved money by shopping around online for different prices. His wife and granddaughter have also been getting good use out the computer – it's become a real family asset.
This is a great deal, and it's only right that other people should know about it.
Linda was determined to get her whole family online. Her family is on benefits so Linda was quick to take advantage of the Get Online @ Home scheme.
Now the kids are getting more familiar with computers. Linda, too was soon using the computer to engage with her extended family - a brother who lives forty miles away, and her two older daughters living away from home.
Now that she's sorted her own family out, Linda has been spreading the word about Get Online @ Home to other parents. She's also using her new computer to help raise money for the school
It's been brilliant. I'm really chuffed with it - it's affordable, effective, and does what it says on the tin.
Bria (11) needs to go online to get her secondary school homework. Bria's mum, Christina, didn't want Bria starting secondary school on the back foot. But income support and being a single parent meant that even buying the cheapest computer from the High Street just wasn't an option.
The Get Online @ Home computer offer means that Bria can now study with all the available resources on the internet. Christina goes online to get great money-saving ideas.
I say to people who are on their own, 'get a computer, you can make so many friends'.
Pauline would be lost without her computer. She was devastated when her old computer died and she couldn't afford a new one. It had become a real lifeline while she recovered from a major brain haemorrhage.
Thanks to a new computer through Get Online @ Home, Pauline feels connected again to friends, family and the wider world.
She can also keep up with the computer games that help stimulate her brain since her operation.
I wouldn't have minded an instruction book on it, but with Windows 7 the computer tells you how to do it.
Cyril didn't want to be unemployed for long when an injury ended his bricklaying career. So he decided to go freelance as a National Vocational Qualification assessor in his old trade.
Cyril knew he'd need a computer with internet access if he was going to get ahead in a new job. Being on Jobseeker's Allowance meant he qualified for a subsidised deal through Get Online @ Home, so he jumped at the chance.Cyril had some experience with computer years ago but has taught himself a lot more skills since getting the new computer.
