Build a branded web site for promoting products but close sales on the marketplace Chinese shoppers know best, a Beijing-based marketing expert advises.
Retailers seeking to establish themselves in China's flourishing online market are correct in assuming that, like all worthwhile goals, such establishment requires commitment and sustained action. China's e-commerce gold, as editor Don Davis recently advised, is indeed hard to mine.
However, Chinese demand for quality western goods is glaringly undersupplied. The gold is anything but hidden. The twin factors of a huge, hungry market and lack of competition present a rare opportunity to bold, persistent Western organizations. A closer look at how China's premier e-commerce platform operates will hopefully demonstrate how a retailer can best convert Chinese Internet users into consumers.
Understanding that Chinese shoppers are much more like their Western counterparts than different is a crucial first step in getting the right perspective. It's the environment that's different. Hence the runaway popularity of Taobao, Alibaba Group's version of Amazon, and Tmall, the newer upscale twin of Taobao.
Chinese e-commerce has traditionally been a much less regulated "Wild East" version of what we're used to, with rampant misrepresentation and fraud. Taobao's rating system, based on sales, customer service, and delivery record, made its plethora of stores transparent and accountable. Ironclad return policies and a mandatory live chat feature gave shoppers extra levels of confidence.
True, low price point also drove Taobao's popularity, leading to rampant copycatting, and a race to the bottom. Alibaba launched Tmall as an ostensibly brand-verified, IP-protected alternative to Taobao, for vendors and shoppers alike. Note that Tmall's popularity is based not on lowest prices, but brand verification and quality assurance, as well as replicating Taobao's transparent shopping process. The point bears repeating: Chinese shoppers largely resemble Western shoppers, and ever more so.
"China is immersed in consumer culture, so expressing oneself through one's purchases is just as important as in the West," says Shaoming Yang, CEO of Baipinhui, an e-commerce and logistics provider based in Shanghai. "Also, as per capita disposable income skyrockets, there is a corresponding spike in demand for genuine Western products and their assumed inherent quality."
So why do Western brands struggle on Tmall? "Competing on price point and delivery terms is not the answer for a brand which has the leverage of Western authenticity," Yang maintains. "Chinese brands which have little equity or aught else to distinguish themselves from their competitors must use these tactics. By communicating its value, a Western brand stands out on the Chinese Internet landscape, and drives sales."
Thus the simultaneous charm and challenge of Tmall, a platform that sold over $3 billion worth of goods in one day in 2012, yet where starting out is a catch-22 proposal. "Customers want to see that you've sold a lot of goods and have earned good ratings before trusting you with their money," says Yang, "so a new store generally has a tough time achieving momentum, unless it's an already established and verified brand store, and even then…. "
Perhaps the best way to frame the problem in order to arrive at a solution is to realize that Tmall and Taobao are China's answer to Amazon. Beijing-based UX consultant Wendy Shijia puts the issue succinctly: "Tmall is an online catalogue. Any company that makes the platform its first touch point with a prospect is leaving a lot on the table." To be fair, Tmall does allow for integration of video, customizable backgrounds, and other add-value features. What can't be argued is that, given the constraints of maintaining such a vast site, Tmall cannot offer anything close to the brand experience a customized web site can, in Mandarin or otherwise.
Tmall does offer, however, a range of SEO and paid search marketing services, an intelligent tactic for its vendors, given the alternative of extremely pricey banner advertising on the home page and category home pages, which must usually call attention to a sale to get any click-throughs. The analytics available are virtually identical to those of Baidu, China's Google, allowing for a scalable approach to Tmall marketing. But keep in mind that just as many shoppers on Tmall navigate via a sidebar that offers a department store-style experience, as opposed to just entering a term in the search bar. Also, a store's ratings will still play a large role in search rankings, and whether someone who finds a store via SEO or a paid search ad will be compelled to buy from it.
"SEO and PPC [pay-per-click advertising] are the go-to tactics for high conversion rate and low cost per conversion," says Alex Ververis, marketing manager for China Digital Labs. "But even though Tmall and Taobao together account for three-quarters of China's e-commerce, 80% of China's online traffic originates from search engines, particularly Baidu. You can't optimize your Tmall store for Baidu; the latter has its own e-commerce interests and won't list a direct link. For effective marketing to self-qualified leads across China, an SEO and/or SEM campaign on Baidu is highly recommended."
A truly effective China online presence, then, would combine touch points external to Tmall, and funnel a lead to a Tmall store for purchase. Ideally, this external touch point would be a stand-alone site, which affords the twin advantages of fully managing a viewer's experience with the brand, and ability to draw the potentially vast amounts of traffic not specifically searching for a product on Tmall. There are other options, such as a Sina or Tencent blog/microblog platform, which are far less costly, but also far less effective at communicating the quality and authenticity of a Western brand.
Those opting for a stand-alone site could implement their own payment gateway and close sales on their own sites. But they would then forego the advantage of building up a reputation on Tmall, and drawing internal leads who could cross-reference with the site. Yang says many Western brands are taking the approach of building their own branded web sites, but closing sales on their Tmall stores.

THERE IS CONCERN that a racial divide and a school system for the "haves and have-nots" may result from a current push by the Sausalito Marin City School District to merge schools, while supporters say the change would benefit students' education.
The days of Bayside Elementary in Sausalito may be numbered as the school district moves to consolidate the school with the Martin Luther King Jr. Academy middle school in Marin City. A decision could come at the end of this month and the change could be in place by the start of school this fall.
The move would create two schools in the district: the decade-old Willow Creek Academy, a K-8 charter school, which is governed by its own board. The Sausalito school has flourished; Willow Creek scored an impressive 859 on the most recent state California Academic Performance Index score.
Martin Luther King Jr. Academy would become the school district's only traditional public school and would give Marin City its own K-8 school.
School board president Bill Ziegler is keenly aware of the race issue, but said it is the betterment of the district's educational program that is pushing the decision.
"I have heard the race issue and it is a concern, but the educational issue trumps it," Ziegler said. "Our job is to educate the kids."
The district wants to institute an International Baccalaureate learning program, which has a focus on college preparation. Ziegler said it would be impossible to run on two small campuses.
"It wouldn't work for the things that we want to do, but by consolidating the students we would have that critical mass to implement it," he said. "It is about education needs of the students and that's what we are addressing. We have a dedicated staff to make this work."
But critics of the plan worry the move would create a situation where poor students who do not have the same financial resources or parental advocacy would end up at the Marin City school, while children who have stronger support will attend the Sausalito campus.
Supporters say the move will save the district dollars and create a local, full K-8 school for Marin City residents, and most importantly allow for an improved education program.
Sausalito resident Nancy Osborn doesn't buy it.
"It's like the old 'separate but equal,' but it's not equal," said the Sausalito resident, who has been monitoring the issue. "It seems like the school board is dominated by people who want to see Willow Creek expand."
It is expected that if Bayside moves, adjacent Willow Creek would then use the Nevada Street elementary school campus to grow.
A petition signed by more than 200 people was delivered to the school board last month, asking that the decision be postponed for a year so there could be more input from the community. In part, the petition read: "The issues that this plan evokes, including racial inequality, racial segregation, charter school-vs.-traditional schools, are deeply embedded in this decision."
"There is a sense that these children are going to be moved and they do not seem to have any advocates," said Fran Nelson, a part-time librarian at Bayside who helped organize the petition. "Is this something that Marin City really wants? We want to make sure due diligence is done."
Marin City community leader Bettie Hodges said the proposed two-school district would result in a racial divide that some say already exists between Marin City and Sausalito.
"This has the potential to further isolate and segregate kids from Marin City," Hodges said. "Sausalito parents are not going to desire to send their kids to Marin City. It's an age-old dividing line."
The district has struggled with issues of race and academic achievement since the 1960s, when it was targeted by both the Congress of Racial Equality for being segregated and the Black Panther Party for having no black studies classes or programs like those implemented at schools and colleges throughout the country in the late 1960s. Enrollment at the district's schools was reshuffled to accomplish racial balance, and black studies courses and programs were instituted.
"The issue today is having the best quality education for the kids," Hodges said. "And it does feel by closing Bayside the message is, 'Let's move all the black kids to Marin City.'"
The latest enrollment figures from the state Department of Education show African American students comprise 54 percent of students at Bayside, 61 percent at MLK and 16 percent at Willow Creek.
Hodges also worries the two schools will end up in competition for resources what she calls a "cannibalization" of the district by the charter school.
"It seems we are creating a system for the 'haves and have-nots,'" she said. "A lot students feel that."
Backers of the consolidation note the district would save about $250,000 annually as duplicities found largely outside the classroom would be eliminated at time when district revenue is declining. That money would be poured into district educational programs. Bayside is now ranked as a "high performing school," according to the most recent state scores and would hold its own academically if it is merged, Ziegler said.
Bayside saw a 54-point increase in the California Academic Performance Index score, achieving 804 last year. The API is a numeric index that ranges from a low of 200 to a high of 1,000. MLK — which offers music and language classes, and has students use technology — showed a modest gain from 696 to 698 last year.
Backers also don't believe the move would create a racial divide, noting that a large number of Willow Creek students come from Marin City and would continue to do so. The school is diverse, officials have noted. In addition to the 16 percent of African American students, 35 percent are Latino, 9 percent are Asian, while 36 percent are white.
While the issue has been widely debated and there have been calls for public input, preparations for the move are already underway. The district has started — though not finalized — plans to bring modular classrooms to MLK to accommodate the Bayside students.
"There is a directional decision that has been embodied by the board's actions of the last couple of years," board member Joshua Sky Barrow told parents and other at a meeting on the issue recently. "The details are being still worked out but the directional decision has essentially been made."

Too Little For Too Much
"These shoes are cute, but I'm afraid the ankle strap is going to break after wearing it 2 or 3 times. It seems flimsy. For the price, they are not going to last as long as you'd think they should. Also, they are lined in suede & I think they would be better if they were leather lined."

Nice Look but....
"I really wanted a black and white shoe as I have a lot of that combination in my work wall robe unfortunately I don't like the fit the toe box is way too short and too wide which means my foot doesn't sit comfortable in it and far too much toe cleavage. The sizing was fine as I ordered a 10 and the foot length was perfect but I still have to get rid of it. even if I were a W the toe box is still too short for it to look good. Really disappointed."

Let the sun shine!
The Environmental Working Group just came out with their Sunscreen Guide for 2012 and I was happy to see that my new favorite sun screen was included with flying colors.
I live in Santa Monica where it is nice and sunny all year round, if the fog burns off. I am very fair and have sensitive skin, as does my daughter. We both wear sunscreen every day (I sometimes show my age and tell her that we need to put on our "sun tan lotion!") I like to use the more "natural" stuff, so I am always on the look out for Chemical free broad spectrum sunscreen. I have consistently had a problem where the sunscreen separates. I get kind of nervous and I wonder, it if still works. Also, my skin is so sticky when I use it. [read more]

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:

How does it work?

A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.

- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

It's a puzzling paradox that has plagued comic book lovers, rabid film buffs and observers of pop culture alike: why has Hollywood been unable to create a truly great portrayal of Superman, the international icon and perhaps America's first transcendent superhero? While the last attempt, 2006's "Superman Returns," debuted to healthy box office returns and generally decent reviews, it has been largely forgotten and consigned to the dustbin of cinematic history.

Rebirth by ~Cutteroz
I selected a poem, by Mary Ann to use as my springboard. Kenia's prompt was to use another poem and have a conversation with it. I love Mary Ann's poem, after I selected it, I wondered what was I thinking. I think I can say this one poem, fits both prompts...
Have you had any moments of rebirth? I would love to hear about it! I had a second chance on June 18th, 1987. I woke up in a hospital. I was in a diabetic coma; my blood sugar was 1380.
I'd have to say, I am feeling the pain of sharing a computer. It is throwing me off course. I feel my routine is off. I also am seeing new things I want to make and do. Time out I guess, gives us insight... I miss blogging, I miss visiting blogs, I miss you! I can see clearer, mistakes I have made, what I now need to do to move on. My new computer is suppose to arrive today. A box of pieces and part that will be used to rebuild what we have. I can't wait!
Mary Ann used the concept of augury, the practice of foretelling events by the formations and the chattering of birds. She doesn't believe in the practice, but likes the sound of the word and the images it gave her. I love this concept and her poems so evokes this foretelling mood. After I selected it I wondered what I was thinking.... Her poem is beautiful and evokes the fine details of the foreshadowing season. I love it~
My take is about seeing signs of Spring, the rebirth of earth and one's mood:

Tim Hayden Named Director of Center for Entrepreneurship
The John Cook School of Business at Saint Louis University has named Tim Hayden director of the school's nationally recognized Center for Entrepreneurship.
|Tim Hayden
Hayden, who earned undergraduate and MBA degrees from SLU, is also a senior adjunct professor and partner/advisor at FanzLive. An entrepreneur in his own right, Hayden has founded several companies including Vivid Sky, which created one of the first mobile applications for sports fans to access instant replays, stats and info-graphics through their iPod touch, iPhone and Android devices.
After helping to start St. Louis' professional soccer teams Saint Louis Athletica (WPS) and AC St. Louis (NASL) he founded The Stadia Group to provide strategic insight and advice to a broad range of clients from private and Fortune 50 companies to sports teams and sponsors.
Hayden also serves as an advisor for various for-profit and not-for-profit companies, including KidSmart, Thumbs Up Johnnie and the National Institute for Youth Entrepreneurship.
In addition to teaching classes in entrepreneurship and advanced business planning, Hayden also helped the University create the new sports business program with senior sports business executives from the Cardinals, Rams and Anheuser-Busch.
With both academic and frontline entrepreneurial experience, Hayden is excited about the future possibilities for small business development.
"I'm excited to come home to SLU because St. Louis is reinventing itself as an entrepreneur's city," Hayden said. "And I am renewing our Center's and University's commitment to that goal."
"We have a tremendous foundation to continue building on. Our undergrad and graduate programs are both ranked #13 in the nation by U.S. News and World Report (2011-2012). In addition, Fortune Magazine ranked us as one of the top five entrepreneurship programs in the country. No other program in Missouri can come close to claiming that distinction."
"We need to ensure our St. Louis entrepreneurs know the vast amount of resources the University can bring to bear on their behalf," Hayden added. "Our goal is simple - a successful St. Louis entrepreneur helps to re-energize the entire region."
SLU's Center for Entrepreneurship is a cross-campus, cross-community resource for entrepreneurs and private business owners. Major initiatives of the Center include the Institute for Private Business, the Billiken Angel Network, the Allsup Summer Entrepreneurship Academy for area high school students and
Habitat for Neighborhood Business.
Founded in 1987, SLU's Center for Entrepreneurship was one of the first in the nation and is recognized as a Center of Excellence by the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers.

Skip to comments.U.S. Government Pays $23,000 a Month to Mosque of Ft. Hood Shooting Supporter Al-Awlaki
Posted on 05/13/2010 1:18:14 PM PDT by Nachum
(WASHINGTON, DC) The Virginia mosque of the radical Islamic cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, credited as the key link behind the Fort Hood shootings, the Christmas Day underwear bomber, and the Times Square bomber, has been receiving $23,000 a month from the U.S. Census Bureau for rent of an office building the mosque owns in the Washington suburbs.
I wonder do we actually even have a Department of Homeland Security, says Congressman John Carter (R-TX), who represents the Fort Hood area in the House. The purpose for creating this cabinet-level agency in 2002 was to coordinate all agencies of the federal government to prevent any more radical Islamic attacks like 9-11. Eight years later and they cant even tell a federal agency theyre renting office space from the very mosque involved with the 9-11 attacks, and that has seeded this past years assaults through the likes of Al-Awlaki.
(Excerpt) Read more at carter.house.gov ...
why has our country gone nuts.
This Government of ours is screwed up.
Is the 0bama regime aiding the enemy ?
Positively OUTRAGEOUS! And no one ever gets fired for terrible decisions such as this. Rush and Hannity need to get hold of this one and blast the administration for its malfeasance.
We know THAT we're paying $23,000 a month, but I'd like to know more:
- When did the Census Bureau begin renting this office?
- Is it an actual functioning office?
- Is $23,000 a month fair market value for an office of equal size throughout the area?
Follow the money...
Knowing zero took control of the census and knowing zero is a Muslim pretty much makes one plus one equal two ... only as long as the census needed an office ... and my bet is on zero brokering, if not facilitating, this deal
How much fertilizer does that buy? How many cheap alarm clocks? How many one way tickets to Pockeestahn?
McCarthy and Cohn were right about the fifth column of antiAmericanism that exists within our government and military. It still exists.
We must continue these payments in the name of diversity. To lose that would be a "greater" tragedy than the massacre of 4 dozen people by one death cultist. < /sarc >
You are correct:
Who signed off on the deal?
What was the purpose of renting this specific building?
When was this deal signed and/or put into effect?
Where else did the Census Bureau first look?
Why is this information just now coming to light?
How would the Census Bureau think this was beneficial?
We need a separation of Mosque and State
this should go viral....
Is there a FReeper in the area who could get a look at these offices?
And I bet this is not the only one where we are paying rent or something that supports terrorists in some manner. Can you imagine how they are laughing at us?
ALL --- See this lengthy, revealing post. There is so much more to this mosque than that it's the former home of al-Awlaki:
Wonder where the ACLU would be if the FEDS were renting space from the Catholic Church?!!! Probably in court before the ink was dry on the deal!!
And what can we do about it?
DId they make this deal AFTER the shooting?? Dhimmitude?
The 0bama regime IS the enemy!
Makes you wonder what Abu is gonna try next...
not a thing as long as it's on the "protected" list.
Nothing to see here...just a moderate Islamic mosque of peace.
Well of course they have to rent from a Mosque. It's unconstitutional to rent from a Christian.
This is just unbelieveable.
PING to todays WTF?????? article!!
Better hope Abu hasn't already handed a nuke or two to his little paki friends...
The list, ping
It's all about the money. If the Dems lose the house, I cannot WAIT for the hearings.
If I had the money, I'd fly there personally just to see whether it's an empty building or not.
Thanks for posting that link.
Also this for more:
"THE JIHADIST CORRIDOR." or
THE WAHHABI CORRIDOR - see link for pics & article
Why does this guy have a mosque in our country? Is he in our country?
So it would seem.
Was there competition? This is a key question as there is lots of office space up for grabs in this economy. If it's sole source there had better be a damned good WRITTEN justification for it.
I am sure there is a FReeper out there somewhere in the area.
We truly are doomed. And most likely nothing bad will happen on 0bama's watch...but everything bad that happens after he's GONE will have been set in motion by this EVIL, dastardly administration! (Ala Carter, ala Clinton, et al.)
It's going to be a Post-0bama world, that's for sure!
And who is getting a kickback?
Ah...great question!
The reasons for sole source procurements are well defined in the federal contracting environment, and it had better be one of them if that's the case. I suspect something amiss here. Someone had to sign the purchase order and is therefore accountable.
My head is going to expode !!
No, he's hanging out in Yemen.
Start calling DC and remind them that come November, they're TOAST and tell them why.
"Is the 0bama regime aiding the enemy ?"
Did Roy Rogers ride a Palomino? Is it hot in Death Valley in July? Actually the Obama regime IS the enemy!
"Nidal Malik Hasan just happened to be on the transition team for _resident Obama, a fact that is NEVER mentioned in the MSM or even at his Wikipedia entry. It needs to be in the introduction!
The Homeland Security Policy Institute (HSPI) Transition Task Force went into effect before the 2008 election, in April 2008 and it's work ended in January 2009. It was a bipartisan group that, from what I can gather, was brainstorming security suggestions for the next President and his or her administration. FWIW, Hasan's name can be found on page 29.
We need the names and government departments of each and every bureaucrat involved in this outrage.

I have also often wondered what makes someone join, then just not come back, or only come back once or twice, even though they are given a warm welcome. and, as far as all the games, sometimes I do get tired of them; some are fun, some seem to be just fillers while we wait for Christmas. There are some what used to be regulars that I really miss on here; hoping at least some of them will be returning soon
I forgot to mention that the other christmas forums also have all these games, so I don't think they are a common reason for folks not returning to this forum..
Last edited by steph535; 10-13-2013 at 01:33 AM.
Oh, and I wish we could think up some more games.
SEVENTY-TWO people are viewing this section of the forum!!!
Well I'm proud to say I am totally addicted!!! People drop out for many reasons - losing their password, going through a rough period in their lives, lack of time, a routine change, access to internet may be limited, etc. Then there are guests who enjoy viewing, but just don't want to commit totally to it. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Another unique attraction is the Swaminarayan temple that is constructed out of hand carved stones. Do visit the Rotary Midtown Dolls Museum that depicts the culture and tradition of the world through the medium of dolls.
Patna is the largest city and the capital of Bihar in India. Patna�s history stretches back to 3000 years and for history lovers, this is the place to be. Having witnessed several dynasties over long periods of time, Patna reflects the impact of varied culture and lifestyle. The top most visited places that reflect the spirit of the city are Kumrahar that hosts the ancient remains of the Mauryan palace, Golghar which is a fine specimen of the 18th century, and the Patna Museum that showcases an excellent blend of Mughal and Rajput style of architecture.
A preferred but dry mode of travel, train journey kills the fun of stopping by at intervals and viewing the attractions that the route from Rajkot to Patna has to offer.

This B list actress does just about everything
. Apparently she also just got a breast enlargement because she says when her actor husband left her it devastated her and she thinks new breasts will make her feel better about herself.

She left him, I thought.ReplyCancel
Amy is A listReplyCancel
Adele DazeemReplyCancel
She left him thoughReplyCancel
This happened with an ex-friend of mine. I don't think the new boobs made her feel better. She just started wearing trashy shirts and no bra. She went on a slutcapade looking LOST and screwing the bottom-feeders.ReplyCancel
I like your guess @Freya. I think she's closer to C list though.ReplyCancel
Jack I don't even know her real name so I'm gonna have to trust you on this 🙂ReplyCancel
When my ex left me I swore I would never meditate again. And I haven't. It's almost like getting a boob job. Except no one hit one me as a result. But that's ok cause I showed him! Take your hippy pretentious system of belief and shove it!
I probs should have gone with the boob job, eh?ReplyCancel
I'm with you.
Why not just say you want bigger tits?
@Riven you are awesome!ReplyCancel
Not gonna fault her. We all look for solace in different ways. Mine would be Japanese chef knives.ReplyCancel
@Riven or you could take the Katy Perry route and "meditate" your way to larger breasts….the power of "positive thinking" girl!ReplyCancel
I can see someone doing this. If he was always checking out women with larger breasts I can see it happening. Will it help? Not necessarily but women who break up typically do something like go one "that new man might see me naked diet" or some such thing. I guess it's always a matter of $$.ReplyCancel

Gospel Reading
Document Actions
4th Tuesday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Matthew 11:16-20
The Lord said, "But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates, 'We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.' For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon'; the Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds." Then he began to upbraid the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.

Sing praises to our God, sing praises.
Verse: Clap your hands, all you nations.
BRETHREN, among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification. None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Comments: Great skates for the price. Comfortable and durable. The wheels have held up pretty well so far. The boot is stiff enough for my type of play. I would definitely recommend these skates to anyone looking for quality skates at a low price. Thanks Inline Warehouse!
From: David, Los Angeles, CA
Comments: I really really like these skates! Super light and the boot is durable. I wish the boot was just a little longer and wider, but other than that it is an amazing skate and already comes with the best wheels in the game so i feel like I got more than I paid for.
From: Zach, Las Vegas, NV
Comments: Good skate for the price. I have been using these for about a year now. Only issue is the boot has lost some rigidity and now the boot and chassis are misaligned causing the lateral boot wall to flex outward.
From: Derek, Portland, OR
Comments: Ive been skating these for almost 6 months now n don't have anything bad to say. I just wish the wheels would hold up a lil better to outdoor play. I will b upgrading shortly to diff wheels. Other than that its a great bang for the buck inline skate.
From: Chris
Comments: Pretty nice skate, no complains other than the wheels. If you are playing indoors on a sport court you'll slide trying to stop at high speeds but between playing indoors and outdoors they last fairly long, about three months 2-3 times a week.

Step your game up
April 14 2009 11:00AM
What do you do when you reach the post season? We certainly couldn't tell you up here in Edmonton. Last time we saw the playoffs Dwayne Roloson was our goalie. How old is HE right? But to succeed in the post season we seem to recall you need to take it to that next level. You need to find that extra gear, you need to go that extra mile. You need to spout meaningless inspirational sayings to anyone who will listen so that they too understand the effort require to win. Even websites reporting on teams that have made the playoffs need to step their game up too. With that in mind we are ecstatic to announce the signing of a free agent of our own to the FlamesNation: Jean Lefebvre.
(insert thunderous applause here)
Born in Sturgeon Falls, Ont. the Carleton University journalism grad is known to any Flames fan with eyes in his or her head who have had the opportunity to read the written word in the 18 years that Mr. Lefebvre has been covering hockey. We now look forward to making him right at home here at the FlamesNation for centuries to come.
When reached by email the other FlamesNation writers had this to say:
"Jean Lefebvre??? Are you kidding me? He's f***ing phenomenal!" – TLP
"Wow. Well done. Lefebvre is one of the best MSM guys to come through Calgary in a long while. This is going to be awesome." – Kent W
And the man himself – what does he have to say to his legions of die hard fans?
Just this:
Frankly, I don't get the hostility and hard feelings that occasionally exists between the so-called MSM and the so-called blogosphere. If you ask me, too many members of the established media use far too wide a brush when they dismiss bloggers as socially inept nerds who operate out of their parents' basement and can't be taken seriously because they're not accountable for what they say or write. At the same time, too many members of the Internet media are too quick to dismiss traditional reporters as irrelevant, out-of-touch dinosaurs who have nothing new to say and/or who are lackeys for the teams they cover. Bottom line is there's plenty of garbage out there and guess what? It comes both from the traditional media and from cyberspace. But there's also plenty of good, thought-provoking, informative material being generated and does it really matter whether it comes from a printed page, a computer monitor, a radio speaker or a TV screen? Now before this turns into a plaintive "Can't we all just get along?" diatribe, let me just implore you to judge each messenger on his or hew own merits, no matter what the medium might be.
As a socially inept nerd that lives on the top floor of his parent's house – NOT the basement as some would have you believe – we can only say that we are extremely pumped to have Mr. Lefebvre on board. We use the term "Mr" because Gregor assures us that "Lefebvre is tough as nails. He won't put up with any of your sass talk Wanye."
Welcome aboard.
Good news. It'll be interesting to see how JF operates in the relatively "freer" blog environment.
People still use the word "cyberspace"? Awesome!
Welcome aboard, Jean!
April 14 2009, 11:35AM
I have been reading this site for about a month now and I am really starting to enjoy it. I was shocked when I read this annoucement. Great news for a great emerging site!
Time for Flames Nation to put up a Forum, with Lefebvre I think in time this site could take down Calgarypuck, or at least compete.
Calgarypuck is far to pompous for me. You can't talk about anything without some horrid long running joke, people thinking they're hilarious, know it alls. ect
There needs to be a more easy going Flames Forum on the web.
@ Dave McGill:
Our intention isn't to take anyone down except terrorists. Cause man, they have to go. If you go take a peek at OilersNation you will see most of our articles evolve into a little mini-message boards with a lot of interaction from the writer. Message boards are best left to the pros like Calgary Puck.
If you like easy going and you like laughs, this might be your cup of tea.
If you like cups of tea, this site will be more to your liking:
Good news! More front page posters is more better!
Great to see Lefebvre on this site, he was the best part of the Herald's Flame coverage.

Retirement Security Initiative
To help improve the retirement security of Americans, the Office of Retirement Policy produces, plans, and coordinates a body of research products that will help inform the public about retirement planning, including when to begin receiving Social Security benefits.
Our products focus on different retirement topics, based on the age and circumstances of the target audience. Below is some of the information the Social Security Administration has created to help workers plan for retirement.
Retirement Security Information for Workers
- When To Start Receiving Retirement Benefits | Español
SSA Publication No. 05-10147, July 2008
- Retirement Toolkit
Joint publication with Department of Labor and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
Social Security is also working with a broad range of government agencies to inform the public about retirement planning options and develop ways to encourage all Americans to save. To learn more, visit www.mymoney.gov.
Financial Literacy Research Consortium
We also previously coordinated SSA's Financial Literacy Research Consortium (FLRC), which consisted of three non-partisan, multidisciplinary research centers at Boston College, the RAND Corporation, and the University of Wisconsin. The FLRC developed innovative materials and programs to help Americans plan for a secure retirement.
The centers focused on developing web and print information products to:
- improve understanding of Social Security's programs,
- help low and moderate income populations successfully plan and save for retirement and other life events, and
- help foster retirement and other saving strategies at all stages of the life cycle.
For a list of FLRC projects and other research, visit the centers' websites:
In November 2010, the FLRC held its first annual conference.

"This is a great looking pair of shoes. The pointed toe is just right -- not too pointy. The heel is a little tough to walk in without a platform but they are a very classy pair of shoes. I found them in black in the clearance rack so they were a bargain! I had to go half a size up."

Not Sure
"I purchased these in a half size bigger since I wear 8.5 . when my shoes arrived( in a timely manner!!) I was very excited. I went to slip my foot in , for this moment is usually very special for me with new shoes and I was disappointed. My foot didn't fit, the shoes say 9M yet felt like size 7.I have returned them and ordered a size 10, since I don not see the EU size numbers. I think the shoes are beautiful just the sizes may be lost in translation. I reordered in a size 10,and hope for the best"

ART: Ming Wong (b. 1971, Singapore) currently lives and works in Berlin. "Wong explores the performative veneers of language and identity, through his own 'world cinema'. He has been recognized internationally for his ambitious performance and video works that engage with the history of world cinema and popular forms of entertainment. Working through the visual styles and tropes of such iconic film directors as Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Wong Kar-wai and Ingmar Bergman, Wong's practice considers the means through which subjectivity and geographic location are constructed by motion pictures. His installation at REDCAT (2012), Making Chinatown, is his first project focused on the American context of filmmaking and draws upon Polanski's iconic film for its use of Los Angeles as a versatile and malleable character. Wong treats the film as a text through which he is able to inhabit and impersonate the qualities that are particular to the place it represents. Making Chinatown mimics and reduces the techniques of mainstream cinema in order to emphasize the theatrical qualities that underlie cinematic artifice. "

What is the difference between non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease (or Hodgkin's lymphoma)?
Both of these cancers are lymphomas, a cancer that begins in lymphocytes. The main difference is which subset of lymphocytes are involved. This can be established by looking at the cells under a microscope as well as with additional tests to characterize the tumor cells. Distinguishing the type of lymphoma is important because treatment, disease course, and prognosis can be quite different.
What causes non-Hodgkin's lymphoma?
We don't know what causes non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). NHL occurs when the body produces too many abnormal lymphocytes. In the normal life cycle of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell), old lymphocytes die and the body creates new ones to replenish the supply. In NHL, lymphocytes grow indefinitely, so the number of circulating lymphocytes increases, filling up the lymph nodes and causing them to swell.
In NHL, either B cells or T cells are involved in this process. These are the two subtypes of lymphocytes.
B cells produce antibodies that fight infections. This is the most common type of cell involved in NHL.
T cells kill the foreign substances directly. NHL less frequently originates from T cells.
The following are some of the common subtypes of NHL:
Burkitt's lymphoma: This lymphoma has two major subtypes, an African type closely associated with an infection with the Epstein-Barr virus and the non-African, or sporadic, form that is not linked to the virus.
Diffuse large cell lymphoma: This represents the most common lymphoma (approximately 30% of NHL) and can be rapidly fatal if not treated.
Follicular lymphoma: These lymphomas exhibit a specific growth pattern when viewed under the microscope (follicular or nodular pattern); they are usually advanced at the time of diagnosis.
MALT lymphoma: This is a B cell lymphoma that usually affects individuals in their 60s. The most common area for this lymphoma to develop is the stomach.
Mantle cell lymphoma: One of the rarest of the NHL, mantle cell lymphoma accounts for about 6% of cases. This NHL is difficult to treat and is a subtype of B cell lymphoma.
Adult T cell lymphoma/leukemia: This is a rare but aggressive NHL of the immune system's T cells. Human T cell leukemia/lymphotropic virus type (HTLV-1) is believed to be the cause.
