Kept Shutting OffAs a professional Stylist, I was so so excited to use this blowdryer. Super bummed_ I blow dry hair client after client and the blowdryer would shut off during every single client blowout. It was embarrising that I would have to run to other stations to borrow other blow dryers cause mine had to cool down:( As a porfessional you need reliable equipment and this is far far far from it. When I purchased this product it only had a 1 yr warranty so maybe they have made some changes. If you are a professional I do not reccomend this product. And it is not powerful at all.Jul 5, 2011Megan R. / Mesa

Over Hyped & Over PricedTHE GOOD: Dries my hair quickly shich is important since my hair is super thick & heavy. The airflow is good. I can't rate the diffuser since I never use it.
THE BAD: Only 2 speeds: High & Low. My old hair dryer had a medium setting which I like since it avoids over-drying or burning my hair. Most annyoing is therediculously stuped placement of the on-off switches. They must have been designed witha baby's fingers in mind. The switches are right right in the middle of where the handle is. As a result it takes me twice as long to dry my hair because it keeps turning off. The price is rather high for the overall quality. Will definitely purchase something less expensive that is equally effective.Mar 10, 2011HelenHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair

Nothing Else Compares To This DryerI purchased a T3 Evolution dryer about 4 years ago. I have thick hair that has a resistant curl and depend heavily on my dryer to get it straight every day. I am also a sucker for high-end hair appliances and have gone through quite a few over the years (contrary to what I often read in reviews, every appliance has a "use" life, higher priced appliances don't necessarily last longer). After 4 years of daily use, the cord on my dryer finally went. I absolutely believe that this was a wear and tear type issue after 4 years, not a manufacturer's defect as my T3 has been completely problem-free otherwise. My hairdryer came with a phenomenal 4 year warranty that I was not even aware of - I mistakenly assumed it was 2 years and threw out the box and receipt after a few years.
When my T3 went, I decided to use my backup dryer which is the CTC Lite - not an inexpensive dryer by any stretch, but one that I thankfully got as a package deal when I purchased their straightening iron (which is phenomenal by the way). I thought I would make due with the CTC, but after a couple of weeks of use, there was no doubt in my mind that I would have to either purchase a new T3 or get the cord repaired. I contacted T3 asking about a repair and I could not believe the unbelievable response I got. Their customer is absolutely amazing and I cannot say enough about it. I got a really quick response from them telling me that they felt that my dryer could be replaced due to manufacturerâ??s defect. I wrote back telling them that I did not believe this was the case (hey I had to be honest), that I had had the dryer for almost 4 years and that I had neither the receipt or box any longer. The wrote back right away saying that as a courtesy they still would give me a complete replacement upon receiving my damaged one (there was a small handling fee covering shipping etc, but it was minimal). Sure enough, I received a brand new (not my repaired) hairdryer - this Luxe model that seems to work similar to my old Evolution. All I can say is wow!!!!!
The things I love about this dryer and what makes it perfect for curly haired girls that like to wear their hair straight is the sheer power of this dryer. It is super light, has really good blowing power and gets really hot without burning or frizz - of course you can go cooler if you like as it has multiple setting for both speed and heat as well as a cool shot button. As far as drying time, it does do as well as other high-end dryers - the CTC is good for this as well, but personally I find this easier to handle and I truly believe the end results are significantly better. I find my hair is straighter, the strands lie flatter throughout the day (with body still) and I do get more shine and less frizz overall. I love love love this dryer and no, I am not in anyway connected to the company - the dryer won me over years ago and the company philosophy/customer service has solidified my thinking - at least in my experience they backed up their belief in their product even when they clearly did not have to. I would recommend this dryer to anyone even if the customer service was not great, it just makes it so much nicer that it is.

GoodI had mine for 3 years and it just totally died. I read it that it had 3 year warranty so I just threw it away. I wished I would have contacted them since it was over just two weeks of three years. While I was using it, it was good, but once in awhile it would not work so I had to wait since it dies.
I would recommend it if it changed the warranty to 5 years like other girl was saying and if that is true.Jan 24, 2011JuneHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

The Hg Of Dryers!!I splurged on this dryer for myself and I am glad I did. I purchased the matching diffuser (from another site as it was sold out here) and it is a superb combination for my fine curls. I also did a blow out with out and managed to knock off 10minutes of drying time with this dryer even though my other dryer is a professional dryer. Yes people, those dryers purchased from target or other local retailers cannot compare. Professional dryers will last you 3X longer and dramatically reduce the damage compared to professional dryers. This dryer is lightweight, has a very long cord, is fairly quiet and my blowout (using quality hair products) was frizz free, soft and shiny. My blow out did require the usual followup with a flat iron. Results were truly impressive.Dec 19, 2010Claudia / USAHAIR TYPEAuburn / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Greatest Dryer Ever!!!I have tried the T3 Luxe Featherweight and didn't care for it. I read the reviews for this dryer and decided to purchase it. I am soooooo glad that I did. My hair feels so soft and silky after using this dryer. I personally don't find that it dries my hair faster than my current dryer (Sedu Revolution) but my hair feels much better after using the T3 than it ever did after using the Sedu. Since I received the dryer, I've gotten many compliments on my hair. I am very happy with my purchase! I love Folica too, they got the dryer to me very quickly and the box was packed securely. I received a free paddle brush with purchase and was able to take advantage of a 20% off offer.Nov 23, 2010Barbara / Las Vegas, NevadaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Best Dryer Ever!!!!!This is the best thing I have bought myself since my smartphone( cannot name names). Anyway, it truly is the best hair dryer I have ever had. I get compliments every day on how beautiful my hair looks, and then how soft it is. Before it would take 45-60 minutes to dry my hair and I felt like I needed another shower because I would be so hot and sweaty. Not anymore!!! Now I am finished in about 15 minutes and it looks better...double great!!! Buy it you will not be sorry!!!!!!!!Oct 12, 2010Tracey / NCHAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Model Number And Picture Are IncorrectAlthough the model number listed and pictured is the 83888, the hair dryer that I received was a 73888 (an older model). I believed an error was made in the warehouse, but when I contacted Folica, they said, "Unfortunately, we do not carry the model that you are looking for [the 83888-se]." This was three weeks ago, and Folica still has not changed the listing. So, if you are looking for this specific model (83888-se), be aware that Folica will probably not ship you this specific model.Oct 11, 2010Melissa

Good Blow DryerThis blow dryer is terrific. It drys my hair in half the time of a normal hair dryer. After about a year and a half the low setting on the dryer broke. I contacted folica, sent it back and received a refurbished one in less than a week. So far I have no complaints on the new dryer I received. Although I love this dryer, it is really pricey.Aug 31, 2010Sandi H. / OhioHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Penalty-Killing Plugs
JP Nikota
October 06 2011 07:32AM
Michael Langlois made an interesting comment on the Leafs season preview podcast that was published on the Globe's website yesterday. He pointed out that, to his memory, most of the best penalty-killing forwards (going back for decades) were the best all-around players, and not those we have come to think of as a "PK specialists".
I think that Langlois' basic premise holds water, but it also seems to me that anytime a team acquires a player with ham hands (and here, I'm glaring in the direction of David Steckel), the player is praised for their sense of defensive awareness and/or their work on the penalty kill. While it seems reasonable that this is the case some of the time, it strikes me as a platitude.
Certainly, it makes sense to expect that a team's "bottom six" forwards can keep the puck out of their own net. At least if they can't score, they should prevent their own team from being scored on while the real players rest up, right? This just seems like a cost-effective (or, perhaps more accurate, a cap-effective) way of filling out a roster.
(Side note: In a way, this strategy of finding pluggers seems backwards. Wouldn't it make sense to play your best forwards in the highest risk situations, and let your "grinders" skate in the lower-risk situations? Perhaps this is a debate for another post.)
The problem is that it just doesn't work that way in real life. A defender simply isn't a "defensive" defenseman just because he can't score. Just look at Mike Komisarek, for crying out loud. He's not an "anything" defenceman, let alone another title like "rushing", "puck-moving", or "defensive". Similarly, when dealing with forwards, not every replacement-level player is worthy of defensive responsibility.
To me, this brings up two questions:
1) How common is it for coaches to use bottom-six forwards to kill penalties instead of top-six players?
2) Are these so-called "bottom-six" forwards any worse or better on the PK, and how many justify their "specialist" labels?
Because this is exactly the kind of situation where Danny Gray would caution us about observer biases, it's critical that we measure as much as we can. Of course, defensive prowess is a nebulous concept, and we can only approximate the defensive value of a given player, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth a try.
Now, the designations of "top-six" or "bottom-six" forwards are semantic debates unto themselves, so I'm going to avoid getting hung up on these terms by looking at players based on how many minutes they receive at 5-on-5 as a more gradual (read: more accurate) indicator of a player's worth to a club.
At this point, it's almost a given, but all the following data is from www.behindthenet.ca.
In the first graph, we're looking at the 5-on-5 ice time for every forward with a minimum of 20 games played in 2010-11, and checking to see if there is some kind of discernable relationship with 4-on-5 penalty-killing playing time:
Here, we can see a few things happening. First, it's fairly easy to recognize that players that see more 5v5 ice time tend to see more 4v5 ice time. It's not a huge difference, but it's clearly there. I've highlighted in yellow an area that encompasses low 5v5 minutes, but relatively high 4v5 minutes. There aren't that many, but these should, theoretically, be the "PK specialists" that we always hear about. Here are some of the names inside that yellow rectangle that have high PK minutes (here, listed as 4v5 minutes/60), given their EV minutes:
Blair Betts: 3.45
Todd Marchant: 3.45
Darroll Powe: 3.18
Craig Adams: 2.87
Patrick Eaves: 2.69
Colin Fraser: 2.53
Andrew Miller: 2.22
Tom Pyatt: 2.17
Jarkko Ruutu: 1.84
Tim Brent: 1.83
Trevor Lewis: 1.76
Scott Nichol: 1.75
Tom Kostopoulos: 1.71
Chris Drury: 1.68
Dana Tyrell: 1.68
Fredrick Sjostrom: 1.65
Derek McKenzie: 1.64
Philippe Dupuis: 1.59
Mike Brown: 1.58
David Steckel: 1.68
It's interesting that four of the five bottom rungs in this list are now Toronto Maple Leafs, but that Brian Burke elected to pass on the recently waiver-available Blair Betts, who tops the list for this range of 5v5 ice time. The Montreal Canadiens appear to have added a very useful PK veteran to their lineup for nothing.
Of course, just because a player sees more ice time on the penalty kill, doesn't make them efficient. So let's take a look at the relationship between 5v5 playing time and 4v5 Goals Against per 60 minutes, for players that have played a minimum of 20 games, and play a minimum average of 0.25 per 60 minutes on the PK per game. I'll admit that this is a somewhat arbitrary cutoff, but if a player plays less than 15 seconds per game on the PK on average, they're probably not specialists.
Here, we see that any player that can keep their opponents to less than 10 GA/60 is doing well enough on the 4v5 PK. That seems to be the benchmark that many of the more talented players (that is, the ones getting more 5v5 mintues) have set. It seems that we have a slightly larger crowd than in the first graph that is just as defensively responsible as those forwards that are entrusted with much more ice time at 5-on-5. Players that appear on both lists have been bolded. Just look at Blair Betts go:
Cody McLeod: 1.70
Patrick Kaleta: 1.85
Kyle Wilson: 2.44
Jon Sim: 3.07
Daniel Paille: 3.32
Matt Martin: 3.42
David Desharnais: 4.59
Andrew Miller: 4.84
Blair Betts: 4.87
Andrew Murray: 4.88
Tom Pyatt: 5.00
Ryan Johnson: 5.04
Darroll Powe: 5.13
Trevor Lewis: 5.22
Alexandre Bolduc: 5.37
Scott Nichol: 5.50
Craig Adams: 5.50
Jamal Mayers: 5.59
Kris Draper: 5.99
Patrick Eaves: 6.01
Colin Fraser: 6.37
Ryan Carter: 6.37
Darren Helm: 6.49
Greg Mauldin: 6.60
Tim Sestito: 6.66
Jesse Winchester: 6.74
Matt Hendricks: 6.76
John McCarthy: 6.92
Adam Mair: 7.04
Philippe Dupuis: 7.15
Todd Marchant: 7.26
Troy Bodie: 7.34
Chris Drury: 7.43
Jim Slater: 7.44
Derek Mackenzie: 7.54
Jarkko Ruutu: 7.67
Toby Peterson: 7.63
Tanner Glass: 8.66
Tim Brent: 8.70
OK, so we're not blowing anyone away with statistical revelations, but I think most people would agree that we can see a couple general trends emerging.
In response to the first question I posed earlier in this article, it would appear that coaches rely more frequently on high-minute players to do most of the heavy lifting, even on the penalty kill. That said, players that can play defense, but somehow are incapable of offense, do at least appear to exist.
It's clear from these graphs that there are players that performed very well - sometimes exceptionally well - on the penalty kill, despite not being main cogs in their respective teams' offensive strategy. The snag here is that these types of players are few and far between, and "PK specialist" is a term reserved for a small handful of players. What I would surmise from this is that most players playing in a "bottom six" capacity are mostly just... well, not as good at hockey.
October 06 2011, 10:55AM
How hard would it be for you to run the second graph as 5v5 TOI vs. 4v5 corsi? Sample sizes here too small for GA/60 to be meaningful. The chart suggests there's no real relationship between overall talent and PK talent. Maybe that's true (at least for Fs) and it's more a matter of the D/G and luck.

A last-ditch penalty from Burton Francis saw the Cheetahs record a 26-24 victory over the Stormers at Free State Stadium on Saturday.
A late penalty from Burton Francis saw the Cheetahs seal a 26-24 victory over the Stormers at Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
With time up on the clock, the former Stormers player came back to haunt his ex-charges with a kick from close to the touchline to win the game.
The Cheetahs were supremely dominant in the opening 20 minutes and despite being 0-3 down to a Joe Pietersen penalty, they held all the aces in terms of possession and territory. Willie le Roux was popping up at fly-half on numerous occasions while their pack was getting on top.
It eventually paid off too and it was ironic that they finally broke the deadlock from an attack that began from Stormers ball. Prop Steven Kitshoff spilled possession on the Cheetahs 22 and when Robert Ebersohn's kick downfield saw Jaco Taute turned over by Piet van Zyl the overlap was on. The Cheetahs made no mistake in capitalising on the disorganised defence as the ball was shifted left to Adriaan Strauss who found centre Ebersohn waiting to dive over.
At 7-3 down the Stormers were clearly rattled and it was somewhat evident when they chose to turn down kickable points, instead going for the corner. It backfired as Juan de Jongh coughed up possession soon after to hand the ball back to the hosts before Taute left the field with a horrible knee injury.
However a lift to the Stormers came soon after as on 33 minutes De Jongh crossed wide on the left, finishing off go-forward ball from hooker Deon Fourie. Pietersen's conversion was unsuccessful so it was now a one-point ball game in favour of the Capetonians as half-time approached in Bloemfontein.
The Stormers were not done though, as again from a decision not to take the points offer, their efforts were rewarded when De Jongh burrowed over again.
Elton Jantjies gave the Cheetahs a chance to cut the margin to 10-15 when he took Strauss high and Burton Francis duly obliged with the penalty kick while the dynamic duo of Sarel Pretorius and Coenie Oosthuisen emerged from the sidelines for the final half-an-hour. The former made an immediate impact.
Pretorius stole the ball from the boot of Nic Groom and promptly raced 40 metres to the corner for a converted try that put the Cheetahs 17-15 in front. However, that was to be his last act in a cameo as he left the field having damaged a hamstring before Pietersen kicked two goals to make it 17-21.
Francis did cut the gap on the hour mark before landing a monster drop-goal in the 67th minute that made it 23-21, sending the home crowd into raptures.
But there was more drama to come as after Pietersen had made it 23-24 with six minutes remaining, a late penalty was blown against Stormers replacement Damian de Allende at the breakdown and fly-half Francis did the rest.

First-half tries from Lachie Turner and Aidan Toua set the Reds on their way to a 27-17 win over last season's finalists the Brumbies.
First-half tries from Lachie Turner and Aidan Toua set the Reds on their way to a 27-17 win over last season's finalists the Brumbies.
Richard Graham's outfit were made to sweat following the second half sin-binning of prop Greg Holmes but held out as the Brumbies hit back, doing enough to secure the win with a strong defensive display under huge pressure.
More of a Wallabies audition than the free-scoring fixture earlier on Saturday in Dunedin, both teams battled endlessly at the breakdown in a contest to slow down the opposition's attack.
Wallaby half-backs Will Genia and Quade Cooper were both in fine form as the visitors secured a rare win over their Australian Conference rivals.
Jesse Mogg opened the scoring with a penalty in the eighth minute as the Brumbies controlled the early territory, with Henry Speight wowing the crowd with a couple of breaks down each touchline.
The Brumbies opted to use Nic White's boot from close range and the Wallaby scrum-half made sure with his first attempt to put last year's finalists into a 6-0 lead.
Lachie Turner then capped his Reds debut with a super finish in the corner, Cooper's long pass releasing the former Waratah as he touched down beating White in the process. Cooper's conversion from out on the touchline put the visitors ahead.
Aidan Toua then lit up the match with an outstanding try, bursting on to a flat pass from Cooper and putting his injury nightmares behind him with a jaw-dropping burst of speed to dummy his way over.
Turner's great first half continued with a try-saving tackle on Mogg in the corner, rolling the Wallaby full-back as he went for the line in a top-class bit of defence. Mogg though did add three points as the Brumbies scored their third penalty of the match.
A penalty against the Brumbies for not releasing helped Cooper restore the Reds' eight-point lead, the Australia number ten playing with real composure and punishing the Brumbies when the opportunities arose. It meant the Reds lead 17-9 at the break.
Mogg's third penalty after the interval kept the Brumbies in touch but a costly error from Tevita Kuridrani handed Cooper a simple shot to keep that eight-point gap on the scoreboard.
Greg Holmes was sent to the bin on the 53rd minute as multiple discrepancies racked up against the Reds, opening a window for the Brumbies to grab their first try with a scrum under the posts.
Mogg had been denied in the first half but the Reds couldn't stop his gliding run from deep in the second, the full-back scampering over the hosts' first try of the season. His conversion was amiss to keep the Reds ahead, but only by three points at 17-20.
The Brumbies however developed a frustrating knack of conceding penalties as soon as they scored points. Fortunately Cooper was wide with the resulting shot at goal.
Dropping a man from the pack was a huge loss for the Reds and they nearly paid the price when the Brumbies attacked from a rolling maul, bursting round the corner but only for Scott Sio to be held up short. Their second attempt was stopped by desperate defence, the Reds winning the scrum and clearing their lines.
With Holmes back on the field the Reds' compliment was restored but their discipline couldn't last forever as Mogg was handed the chance to land his fifth penalty. He couldn't make it, the score sitting at 17-20 with eight minutes left.
When it mattered most the Reds' scrum came good, winning a crucial 50/50 penalty after a big previous engagement to clear their lines and run down the clock.
For such a disciplined match from both teams, it ended in a comedy of errors. Cooper's kick to touch from a penalty didn't find the touchline but Mogg spilled the ball, offering it up on a plate for Chris Feauai-Sautia who swooped and ran under the posts to secure the win.
It was fair reward for their effort, even denying the Brumbies a losing bonus point at the death to give the 2011 champions the perfect start to the season.

very nice apartment, a little bit small for 4 people but well organized.
the cleaning could be improved (vote 3,5/5), expecially considering the price paid in the Christmas time.
Wonderful position, near to the subway station, tram and 20 minutes walking from the city centre; the neighborhood is very nice, quite, not noisy, with restaurants, cafès and supermarket very close to the apartment.
It was great experience, easy and cozy apartment!
Very beautiful appartment near the e tre of Prague.Thanks Alex
This place is great! The apartment is big and clean. Everything exactly as in the description.
It's just ~20 minutes walk from the Old Town which is super convenient.
Thanks a lot, Alex!
The apartment and the building itself was great. Huge balcony, well equipped kitchen, large and comfortable beds. Even though the area is not far from the centre of the city it looks really bad. The good thing is that you will need not more than 10 minutes with public transport to get out of there.
Great studio apartment! There was only two of us, but there was plenty of room for others as there is a fold out futon as well. Apartment is on the top floor, but that wasn't a problem for us as we did not have much luggage and it was quieter on the top level. Bathroom was a bit old, but we did not mind. Alex met us right outside the apartment and the check in and check out process was very smooth! Located right next to the tram which connects into the old town perfectly with only a couple of stops! Perfect place for our short weekend trip :)
Hello, we've enjoyed a lot the stay in Prague, a lovely city, but had a bad experience with the flat booked through Ilya/ Alex. At arrival we had to realise that the flat chosen by us was not available, probably was rent to tourists which have booked a longer stay than ours.Finally we were accomodated in a different flat, smaller than the one previously reserved and without parking facilities.
We were not able to take the trip in person, but the hosts were kind enough to accept our grandparents as replacement for us, which is the first star.
Our grandparents said, that the flat was very comfortable and the service was also very friendly and helpfull. So we can easily recommand this offer!
Natalia's flat is a really great location, very big, modern and clean, full equipment kitchen, it 's what i expected from the photos and the description,no problem for the check-in/check-out time and Alex was very helpful with us.
The location is linked to the city center by metro (the metro stop is just 5 minutes walking from the flat) but it's also easy to get it on foot (15 minutes walking), furthermore Alex speaks a very fluent english so we didn't have any problem to talk with him.
I can only say thanks to Natalia for the beatiful holydays which we passed in Prague.
Definitely will recommend this place to my friends.
Best Regards
I have only one word to describe my stay - WONDERFUL! I travel a lot and have seen many many apartments all over the world, but nothing better than service which I got here, just doesn't exist! Everything was PERFECT! Totally recommend to stay here to everyone!!! Best location, best managers, best flat!

'Tis the season to be jolly and to decorate your home with the help of cheery friends like Mr. Grouper, Gil, and don't forget Molly! Follow these simple steps to create a paper chain tree that kids can hang and brighten up with our Bubble Guppies printable ornaments.
Bubble Guppies weekdays @ 11:00 AM ET on NICK
Print the paper ornaments, cut, and place to the side for later use.

 Cut strips of the construction paper into equal sizes. Note that you will only need one sheet of brown and yellow construction paper.
Begin by matching one end of the green construction paper to the other end to create a loop and using glue to attach the two ends. Pull another strip of paper through this loop, match the ends and glue to create a second ring. Repeat by pulling another strip through the first loop created.

 Create another level of rings by pulling a strip of paper into each of the hanging rings to create loops and then affixing the rings together with another strip of paper. (View larger photo for reference.) Continue in this fashion until you have created your desired size tree.
To create the base of the tree, link two of the brown construction paper strips to the green construction rings, and then use another brown strip to link the two brown construction rings together.

 Create a star by creating a ring out of one yellow construction paper and then pulling four other strips through it to create four rings. Form a star by using glue to keep the points in place. Create a thinner paper strip and use to link the top tree link with the star.
Help kids decorate the tree by taping or gluing on the Bubble Guppies ornaments. Once decorated, kids can hang the tree on a door or wall using a nail or pushpin!

House Rent Boogie, CD (£11.50)
A cross-section of hot Hooker at his prime with great solo performances and small combo recordings, when he was making sides exclusively for the black audience in the late 40s-early 50s.
Here is a new CD of vintage Hooker recordings culled from the private tape vaults of Bernie Besman and Joe Bihari. At this stage, you might think it safe to assume that there is nothing left unissued from Hooker's early years in Detroit. Wrong! Ace researcher, the intrepid Ray Topping, has put together a release that combines classic early Hooker recordings many of which have never been available on CD before together with a total of FIVE previously unissued recordings.
From April 1950 comes a previously unheard version of Hooker's blues smash I'm In The Mood which features John Lee playing harmonica! Hooker admitted to Jim & Amy O'Neal in an interview for Living Blues Magazine many moons ago, "I used to blow harmonica, yeah! I'm a Little Walter freak, I used to play all the time, but I quit." Here is the recorded evidence, the only known recording featuring Hooker on harmonica! This CD also includes, released for the first time, alternate recordings of Numbers Blues, House Rent Boogie,
Build Myself A Cave, Key To The Highway and I Got Eyes For You. A total of 24 tracks featuring Hooker solo, also with Little Eddie Kirkland on second guitar and vocals and in full flight rockin' out hard with his combo, the Boogie Ramblers!

In order to get ahead of the wild winds coming up ahead, our skipper kicked the churning motor in at the mindblowing hour of 5am, but thankfully all we had to do was keep sleeping cosily on the deck in our sleeping bags, being rocked left and right as the ship drove full pelt into choppy morning waves
It struck me today just how awesome a bunch of people our group was, that we'd struck great luck in the random collection of all of us, despite significant disparity in age, background, personality and interests. We all got along like a wooden boat on fire, regularly finding ourselves in deep, thought provoking group conversations, and many a laugh, as the hours and the days went by. My perception of travelling Americans was altered dramatically as i got to know Ryan and Katie, two intelligent yanks who defied the frequently usual template of 'loud obnoxious septic'. Got chatting to these two about the state of their country, the problems it faces, the fact that most people are blind to them and dont care, and the frustration that they deal with, particularly as travellers. It turns out that these two were pretty much stalking me for the coming weeks as well, booked also for the 4 in the morning Easyjet flight from Istanbul to Basel-Mulhouse, where they will also be joining me in Munich for World Cup action. The party with these two has only just begun
Chatted also with Berrin and Michael, a mid-30s couple from Adelaide, who spoke of their unease at ASIO's persistent phone tapping and overt surveillance of Michael's movements once he left his top ranking position with the Australian Army. There was Alistair and Pat, an older couple from England, mad travellers in their twilight years, who suffered nasty cases of the bends and a bite from a death adder respectively on their last trip to Australia. There was Li and Lars, the subdued Swedes, Lauren and Di from Sunshine, Dave the Alaskan who copped near death from a brown grizzly, and whose main councelling client committed suicide some three weeks ago. With the three Aussies and Kelly the Korean, the group was so diverse, so interesting, amicably friendly, and a joy to be a part of.
Sometimes the gulet moved on from coast to coast, sometimes it stayed put, but regardless of where we were, we lavished in this remarkable experience and took in the value of each other immensely. Docking in the port of 'Kas' in the early arvo, we threw down some cheap Kebaps and checked out the nearby ruins of an old amphitheatre (These suckers seem to pop up everywhere), watching as three old Turkish women in headscarves beaded necklaces and sewed scarves, as the sun slowly came down behind us all. Another reverberating call to prayer bellowed out from the Kas mosque as we strolled back towards to docked gulet, eventually gathering at the table for another fine meal, good eating, drinking, and merriment, before the sundeck beckoned and slumber ensued.
Yo ho ho. The pirates life for me.

Paging through any issue of Referee magazine, you'll see many advertisements by companies that sell officiating-related uniforms and equipment. The choices have never been so plentiful.
The average multi-sport official spends hundreds, even thousands, of dollars buying officiating gear. In fact, for many people considering getting into officiating, buying uniforms and other items is a drawback that may just persuade a person to seek another hobby.
Today, with so many uniform requirements and so many choices, you must be a careful shopper — no different from most other types of shopping.
Follow these gear-buying commandments:
1. Wait to make goal-oriented buys. If you're dreaming of advancing to the proverbial "next level" in officiating, but the dream is a few years away from becoming reality, there's no need to rush out and buy the necessary equipment until it's needed. For example, many small college football conferences want position placards ("U" for the umpire position, etc.) on the back of the striped shirt. For those referees, it means purchasing the placards and possibly a few extra short- and long-sleeved striped shirts to attach them to. If that small college official is still working high school games on Friday nights, that official must also have striped shirts without the placards. Wanting to be a small college referee is an admirable goal, but save your money until that goal is closer to becoming a reality.
If you're on the cusp of advancing and may get a phone call from the supervisor any day now, you should go ahead and make the buy. That way, you're not scrambling for the right stuff days before your first game at that level.
2. Measure yourself. Most officiating-related purchases are made via catalog mail order. When you call or go to a website to place your order, have your measurements ready. Use a measuring tape to get your exact measurements. Many customer-service representatives from reputable stores will be able to recommend sizes based on your measurements. That's certainly better than guessing between a large and an extra-large.
3. Do you really need that? Judge the level of officiating you're doing and estimate the number of games per week you're working to make a smart purchase. If you're working relatively few games and at the youth softball level, for example, you may not need the top-of-the-line chest protector that is designed for baseball players throwing the ball 90-plus miles an hour.
It also might be cheaper to buy a 12-pack of basketball lanyards, but just how many do you think you'll need in the next three to five years? Don't buy more than two sets of anything unless you're likely to use them.
4. Look for quality. Buy the type of equipment and clothing that makes you feel protected and that looks sharp. Avoid that uneasy feeling that comes with going behind the plate in a baseball game with a chest protector you know wouldn't stop a ping pong ball. If you've ever had a fleeting thought during any of your games that your equipment might not protect you, it's time to buy better equipment. You can't concentrate on the job at hand if you're worried about getting hurt.
5. Talk to others. One of the best ways to find out about quality equipment and reputable companies is to talk to other officials. At local association meetings around the country, officials often talk about equipment. Rumors of shoddy material or poor customer service run rampant through the officiating grapevine. Don't take every rumor as gospel but look for patterns. If you hear a number of sports officials bad-mouthing a certain product or company, chances are pretty good they're right.
Also, look at what the pro and college referees are using. Most of the time, those officials are using high-quality gear because they've got to be heavily protected and look professional at all times.
The difficulty in recent years is that it has gotten very expensive to look like the pros because the uniforms keep changing. Just ask any umpire who now owns a light blue shirt, a dark blue shirt, a red shirt, plus a new pullover with a red turtleneck (or sometimes a blue undershirt). You need an oversized suitcase just to pack for the game!
6. Watch out for fads. Yes, marketers love to test "new" and "improved" stuff on referees, too. While advancements and upgrades are welcome, be careful of the items designed to revolutionize your officiating. The old adage is on target: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
7. Ask about the return policy. Since most items are purchased through mail order, be sure to carefully examine the return policy. You don't want to be stuck with shoes that don't fit.
As with all purchases in life: Buyer beware. Stick with the good companies that sell high-quality gear and you'll be better for it. Cheaper prices are not always better.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by TamieA My 92 year young Mother Loves this!!!! Well made, washes beautifully and keeps my Mother warm and very happy. January 17, 2017
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Little grandma Comfortable and my size! This is the 2nd camisole I've bought from you. I was so pleased to find one small enough for me and with no Spandex to irritate my sensitive skin. November 10, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Mrs.O Too long I really loved this camisole but I'm petite and the straps are too long and the bottom of the camisole came down to the middle of my thigh. August 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Always busy Second order I have one I liked it so well I ordered one for my daughter for last Christmas. She liked it so well she requested more for the next gift giving occasion . So before the free shipping ran out I ordered more for her birthday and Christmas. June 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sabby This camisole is just perfect This camisole provides a great fit with a wonderful soft feel to the fabric. It is very pretty and has nice coverage. I bought one and have since ordered every color. They make a great wardrobe staple. February 1, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Homegirl Wonderful Camisole I received the Women's Scoop-Neck, lace trimmed camisole for my Mother's birthday and she loves it. The lace is beautiful and the straps cover her bra straps nicely. It is made of quality fabric and is soft to the touch, washes great. The tag says Cuddle Dudds, which mom used to buy elsewhere and has not been able to purchase recently. My sister mentioned to me that item #21010 in the Vermont Country Store is the same item so I ordered taking a chance. I am so glad your store carries this particular item with the scoop neck and lace. You have made my mom's day special! April 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Moonwater CuddleDuds are super!! I had been looking online and in stores for camis to replace my old, well worn Cuddle Duds. When I saw this online, I thought the top looked like CD but description didn't say; I took a chance and was delighted when it turned out to be CD. These are so soft, so comfortable, and so effective at keeping me warm without overheating. I immediately orderd another in a different color and may go back for the third. If you've never tried this brand, I highly recommend it if you are looking for a light weight camisole. February 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mareli Worthwhile purchase The fabric and fit are just fine. For use under a blouse, I'd probably choose one without the cotton inside. However, I wear this under a nightgown in the winter to give added warmth so this is perfect ... and pretty, too. January 6, 2015

The only thing is that if you do not like a loud "smack" sound when the shoe hits your feet when you walk, you may not like these shoes. It does not bother me, just lets people know you are nearby!"

Chapter 11
Jephthah is chosen as the captain of the armies of Israel—The Ammonites assail Israel in war—Jephthah is guided by the Spirit and defeats Ammon with a great slaughter—He makes a rash vow, which leads to the sacrifice of his only daughter.
1 Now
2 And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman.
3 Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered
4 ¶And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
5 And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
6 And they said unto
7 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?
8 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
9 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the Lord deliver them before me,
10 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The Lord be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.
11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the Lord in Mizpeh.
12 ¶And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?
13 And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my
14 And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:
15 And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of
16 But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
17 Then Israel
18 Then they went along through the wilderness, and
19 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place.
20 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his
21 And the Lord God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they
22 And they possessed all the
23 So now the Lord God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?
24 Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the Lord our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
25 And now art thou any thing better than
26 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?
27 Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the Lord the
28 Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
29 ¶Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.
30 And Jephthah
31 Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
32 ¶So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the Lord delivered them into his hands.
33 And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to
34 ¶And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his
35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter!
36 And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the Lord, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the Lord hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
37 And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.
38 And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
39 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
40 That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.

A Mountain Vista High School team won a first place in the Nov. 7 Junior Achievement Stock Market Challenge. The 10th annual event drew 220 teams of students from around the metro area to a mock version of the trading floor recreated at the University of Denver's Cable Center.
Participating Douglas County high schools included Rock Canyon, Douglas County, Castle View, Ponderosa, ThunderRidge and Highlands Ranch.
Teams compete to grow a mock portfolio to its highest net worth, investing $500,000 in stock in 26 fictitious companies. The event condenses two months of trading into an hour, with each trading day lasting about a minute. Periodic news releases are issued to reflect fictitious world events and industry developments, causing stock prices to fluctuate.
"Beyond teaching them the obvious, like teaching them about capital markets, how the stock market works and individual wealth building, they're working as a team," said Robin Wise, CEO of Rocky Mountain Junior Achievement, "learning things like critical thinking, problem solving, competing, working in teams. Competition is an integrated aspect of business."
The event is tailor-made for the at-risk students in Highlands Ranch High School's Alternative Cooperative Education (ACE) program, said ACE teacher Joe Chandler.
"These students feel disenfranchised, either because of a tough academic or tough home program," Chandler said. "For most of them, school lacks relevance. They see the world from a very practical point of view.
"Here, they get to see how money is a tool, how to use money to make money. They see that they can compete as well as anybody else. When they see that, they are enormously motivated."
Chandler's students, eyes trained on the board when they weren't leaning toward one another to strategize, affirmed his observations.
"This is completely new to me," Collin O'Brien said. "Everything's really exciting and fun."
Other participating Douglas County schools included ThunderRidge, Rock Canyon, Douglas County, Castle View and Ponderosa high schools.

For the past 60 years, a section of trust land three miles east of Elmo has been the site of wide-ranging illegal trash dumping by some residents of the local area. Trash from dumping covered a 20-acre spot with wind-blown garbage spreading over a one-square mile area. This dumping created a prominent eye-sore and health and safety hazard.
The Trust Lands Administration recently led a cooperative effort to clean up the site. In November the agency spent more than $15,000 to complete the removal of 1,100 tons of garbage. Emery County contributed to the project by allowing the trash to be removed to the county landfill at no charge to SITLA and providing extended operating hours to expedite the task.
According to Ray Petersen, Emery County Public Lands director, "Emery County Public Lands Council identified illegal dump sites as an activity with potential impacts to numerous natural resources a number of years ago. The council has also encouraged land management agencies to address the issue in whatever means will be effective. The Trust Lands Administration is to be commended for the action they have taken at this site."
Emery County Commissioner Gary D. Kofford said, "I would like to express my appreciation to SITLA and its staff, Emery County Road Supervisor, Morris Sorensen, and other Emery County Road Department and landfill employees for their combined efforts in cleaning up unauthorized garbage that was dumped on SITLA land in Emery County. The county will continue to work with affected land owners in cleaning up other unauthorized dumping."
Commissioner Kofford added, "In the future, I would encourage the citizens of Emery County to take pride and ownership in the lands surrounding their communities and stop the unlawful dumping practices. Please use the dumpsters provided in the cities and at the county landfill."
Law enforcement officials are now patrolling the area.
SITLA Director Kevin Carter applauded the county for joining in the cleanup effort, "There are 336,000 acres of trust land scattered throughout Emery County and those lands are managed for the benefit of Utah's schoolchildren and other public institutions. It's important that these lands be managed and used respectfully. By doing so, everyone benefits."
SITLA is an independent state agency that manages 3.4 million acres of Utah trust lands for the benefit of Utah's schools and other public institutions. Money generated from the school trust lands is deposited in the state Permanent School Fund, a perpetual endowment that annually distributes income to each K-12 public school in Utah.

Skip to comments.The man who gave his mother-in-law an iPad from Walmart (and it turned out to be a fake)
Posted on 11/15/2012 7:18:22 AM PST by dennisw
A Florida man shelled out nearly $500 for an iPad at a Miami Walmart on Monday, as a birthday gift for his mother-in-law.
But when the woman opened the present on Wednesday, she was shocked to find it was just a plastic fake and not a real electronic device.
The family struggled to get a response from Walmart but the local TV station reached out to the company's corporate office.
Emilio Pereda told WFOR-TV that he had helped his father-in-law purchase the Apple device from the discount retailer.
'There were no red flags,' Pereda said, 'It was completely wrapped with this wrapper from Walmart with your sku number that matches the receipt.'
But when the family gifted the high-priced purchase and his mother-in-law opened it - they were shocked to find out it was a knockoff.
'When she opened it she was like, 'What is this a joke?'' he said.
A Walmart rep, Kayla Whaling, said the customer apparently purchased an iPad that had been returned. They believe the previous owner wrapped a fake device and re-sealed it so perfectly that it looked as if the item hadn't even been opened.
'Walmart takes this very seriously and we apologize profusely to the customer,' she said.
The company said it would refund the money or ensure the customer received a real Apple product.

Wow, people really do go to a lot of trouble to scam money. Its amazing that if they just worked, they'd make money.
Working harder to keep from working.
I know - thats what amazes me too- you see these dumbasses spend hours teraing out copper plumbing from a building to make $20, while costing $1000's in damage
Stupid people should not be paid to breed more stupid people
only in China...
Usually the store blames the new purchaser for trying to scam the store. Maybe they tracked the individual serial number at the time of purchase and original return instead of just scanning the UPC so they knew this one had been purchased and returned previously.
One of the longest waits to return something I've had in a long time, but it was entertaining - the tears, the denial and blaming it on her husband, and then the cop arresting her and going out to get the husband too. (The cop was on duty in the store for some reason- I'm guessing to deal with shoplifting) Oh and btw the guilty couple were not 0bama's relatives. They should have just charged it on their EBT card.
I had something like this happen to me at Walmart about a year ago. My daughter needed some black leggings and we bought a pair at Walmart. When she got home, she opened the package and found a ripped up pair of leggings that someone had obviously switched out at the store. When I tried to return them, I was pretty much accused of switching them myself. I ended up in tears at customer service. It wasn't the money; I felt as if my integrity was being questioned. I'm one of those people who obeys the speed limit, never steals extra straws from McDonald's, etc., lol. It was humiliating!
Happened to us at a Walmart in Naples, Florida. Bought a new Nintendo DS. Walked out of the store and openned it in the car. Found that it was replaced with a worn out previous model. Even the cord was old.
They were very nice about giving us our money back.
Shrink wrap machines are apparently very common in the USA!
***They believe the previous owner wrapped a fake device and re-sealed it so perfectly that it looked as if the item hadn't even been opened. ***
I had that happen with a package of computer printer ink at WM last year. I bought it, took it home and opened it.
I immediately noticed the interior package was already tore open. A closer look showed that the black and white ink was gone, and replaced with an empty colored ink package, then glued back together so carefully it looked normal.
Walmart gave me a replacement for it.
That's how democrats stay in power.
My son used to work at Walmart in the Returs section. He told me tales of customers that would return items they bought. They would show him the receipt and he would check the package. Several times he found that they had replaced the item with a bag of dirt of about the same weight.
When it arrived, I examined the contents to make sure everything was "like new". The condition was fine, except that DVDs from the previous DVD version of Ben-Hur had been substituted for the Blu-ray discs. Fortunately, Amazon took it back and issued a full refund. Still don't know if the scammer was the Amazon seller; or if the seller had been scammed.
Walmart should be able to pinpoint exactly who originally purchased and returned the i-Pad. Criminal mindset is rarely rational or includes much critical thinking.
Copper thefts have gotten common around here. And doing thousands in damage to make $20 is what they do, but they absolutely don't care about the thousands in damage. It's the thief mentality (and the politican mentality too.) Other people and their property mean nothing to them. That is why I'm an advocate of shooting thieves when you can.
I've worked my whole life for what I have and it really pisses me off to see scumbags simply think that they can take what they want. (Difference between thieves and the government - I'm still trying to determine a real difference, and so far I'm not being successful) On that note when I see some worthless POS pay for something with an EBT card I think "too lazy to even steal on their own."
I think from now on I'm going to open my packages at the store to make sure the item I bought is actually in there.
Oh, that was the non-WiFi version. not for sale in this country.
I don't buy anything from the Walmart store. I buy it online and have it sent to the closest store to me for free for pick up. It is much easier than 'shopping' in the store plus you get lots more choice. I really don't want anything that has been handled by Walmart customers.
Unfortunately I sent them USPS 3 day Prioity mail with no tracking info or insurance and the seller claimed he never received them.......I never got my money back so that was a lesson learned....LOL!
The box would have the serial number on it, and IIRC, Apple builds technology into iPads to be able to track them if they're stolen (sort of an Internet based "Low Jack."
Hopefully, Apple will work with local authorities and Walmart to send the thief to the Gray Bar Motel for a long vacation.
I believe most ebay complaints are that the seller sent an item inferior to what was represented.
MORTY: This isn't a Wizard, it's a Willard.
JERRY: A Willard? Saccamano, Sr. screwed me!
True story:
About 10 years ago I had moved my family into our first rented house, from the condo we'd lived in for years. It was two days before Thanksgiving. The landlord had taped a card to the front door, welcoming us to the new home. Inside the card was a $50 gift card to Shaws, the local supermarket.
Since I had spent every dime I had on relocation costs, and wasn't getting paid until the end of the following week, the $50 was going to be incredibly helpful towards stocking the fridge and having a decent Thanksgiving meal.
So, having spent most of the day unloading a rented moving truck full of our stuff, I took my daughter (4 years old at the time) to the store to use the gift card. I was cold, filthy and miserable from loading and unloading stuff all day, I just wanted to get in, get my stuff and go.
So, not having an extra dime to my name aside from the gift card, daughter and I shopped just under $50 worth of items (which, in 2002 got you a LOT more than today). Busy, busy grocery store, since it was two days before Thanksgiving. Load it all up on the belt, cashier scans everything, probably 8 people behind us in line, all registers full. Cashier goes to swipe the gift card - denied.
Tries again - denied.
Tries again - denied.
Looks at me suspiciously (disheveled and looking like a hobo from working all day) and calls manager over. They call the hotline, run the numbers manually, all sorts of tricks - nothing. Says to me - "this card wasn't even registered when it was purchased" - insinuating I'd stolen it and was trying to get free stuff. I try to call landlord to find out where/when she bought it, so maybe they can contact that store and verify the purchase - nothing.
"Sir, when gift cards are purchased at our stores, they're activated before the transaction is complete - this card was never activated. Where did you say you got it from again?" and on and on. I'm tired, grubby, now getting that hot feeling in the back of my neck, everyone looking at me within 4 lanes on each side - all wanting to see the "thief".
I finally said, "I'm sorry, just forget it" and started leaving. My daughter starts crying - "DADDY, WE CAN'T GO WITHOUT OUR GROCERIES!! WE WON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT! DADDY DADDY!!", etc...
Heard someone in line mutter - "jeeze - even gets his kid in on the scam...what a loser".
Most humiliating moment of my life.
What a story! I'm so sorry that happened to you. But, don't you find that having things like this happen to us makes us a little less quick to judge people when you see them in these kinds of situations? My fairly well-off friend does foster care and she gets all kinds of nasty looks and comments at the grocery store when she uses the food stamp cards (not sure if that's exactly what she uses) that she gets for doing foster care. People look at how she's dressed and just assume she's taking government money even though she doesn't need it.
We got caught once when we bought a food processor from either K-Mart or Wal-Mart. Got it home and there was still dried food on the machine. We did get a refund.
You had me laughing... years ago for you thank God!
