Comments about adidas Metro II Soccer Socks - Men's, Women's, and Youth Sizes:
My 6 year old son is just beginning to learn to play soccer. I was nervous that these socks would be too long, but they are perfect for him. The only con is that the socks were soaking with sweat by the end of the game -- non moisture wicking socks.

The Walking Dead has finally made it to consoles in a couple of patient territories – Australia, Brazil and New Zealand. Although TellTale released the game locally on iOS, Mac and PC, the console versions were put on hold over classification concerns, which, as it happens, may have been misplaced, as Australian officials elected to go with an MA15+ rating rather than the shiny new R18+ sticker. In any case, the episodic adventure is available in full on PlayStation 3 in all three territories and on Xbox 360 in Australia and New Zealand.

Sydney: EA locks gamers in fish tank to play SimCity
If you're in or around Sydney today, head down to Circular Quay. Kotaku reports EA has cleverly trapped six gamers dressed as construction workers with the lure of six hours uninterrupted play time on SimCity. The competitors are battling to build the largest population by 2:00 PM, at which point the winner will be awarded a helicopter ride, boat tour, and Harbour Bridge climb. Unfortunately nobody's yet figured out how to get into the tank and leg it with a copy of the game. SimCity is due in early March.

NEW HAVEN — Though there can always seem to be bad news found in the county, the good news and achievements of others are also there to be discovered.
For example, recently, a large gathering of family, friends, classmates and well wishers met at the New Haven Library with a party to honor Pvt. Kaleb S. Petry.
A recent graduate of Wahama High School, Petry took a preliminary oath on March 22 to join the United States Army for a three year and 10-week stint. Petry stated the decision to make such a commitment was made easier having grown up in what he considers a "military family." He often heard his now deceased great grandparents, Frank and Ilene Hudnall, of Point Pleasant, speak proudly of having met and married during World War II, while both were members of the United States Army Air Corp.
Also, his grandfather, Darrell Petry, of New Haven spent three years in Germany during the Vietnam War, and he knew of other family members, too numerous to name, who bravely and unselfishly made the choice to defend and if necessary fight for their country. With a sense of pride in these family members, Petry felt he could do no less, according to grandmother Marie.
On Sept. 17 Petry is scheduled to report to Beckley, W.Va. The troops will travel to Ft. Benning, Ga., where Petry will undergo an 18 week intensive training program, including Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training (AIT).
The difficulty of the AIT is determined by the soldier's individual test scores, mental and physical readiness and physical capabilities. Successful completion of AIT will give Petry the credentials necessary to pursue his Method of Service (MOS). Petry stated he was notified by his recruiter in April that he had scored higher than usual in his tests and had met other requirements which qualified him for training in his MOS as a Cavalry Scout.
Petry says he feels the knowledge and training he will gain as a Cavalry Scout will give him a step up in his plans to obtain a degree in Engineering. Having taken several general college courses through MOVC while attending Wahama, it is Petry's intention to continue his college education while serving his country. In addition to the degree in Engineering, Petry plans a double major with a degree in English.
While pursuit of a Master's Degree in English may seem an odd choice to some, Petry is presently writing a book. According to family members, he was always fascinated by books and gifted with a love for reading. He said his main goal in life is to write and have published a best selling novel. This thought is not so far fetched for a young man who in 2009 submitted an article to Bow Hunter Magazine and won first place in the international youth essay contest. Petry is also an avid hunter and spends most of his spare time outdoors, whether it be hunting or just taking a walk in the woods.
Petry's goal of continuing his higher education became a reality when his Army recruiter attended the recent awards ceremony at Wahama High School and presented him with certification which guaranteed him $66,528 in scholarship funds which were made available by the GI bill and the Army College Fund.
Petry stated he realizes many "future" soldiers might be fearful of making a commitment to any branch of the military which in these times could ultimately place them in a war zone. However, he strongly believes his Christian faith and Biblical teaching instilled in him since birth by his parents and other family members, as well as his personal relationship with God, will see him through.
As for now, Petry says he is "Army Strong" and intends to "Be All that He Can Be."
Pvt. Petry is the son of Shawn and Susan Petry of Letart, the grandson of Marie (Petry) Stewart and Robert Stewart of Mason, Darrell Petry of New Haven, Walter Hayes of Middleport, and the late Carolyn Sue Hayes. Petry is the oldest of two siblings, Jacob who attends Wahama High School and sister, Mattie who attends Cornerstone Academy.
Petry requests all of his friends and fellow Mason Countians remember him and his fellow soldiers in prayer and support our troops.

The bird flies through the moment with a broken wing,
Its eyes blind to a crystal that lies to its advance.
Gracefully yet unapologetically its dull head strikes the glass.
A crack begins to grow like a God seeing rise to a web of rivers.
Such a sightless bird leaves upon the vase a strike,
And from such an impact, quietly bleeds fortitude.
That bird embodied their words and taunts,
And such a vase was the fabric of my sanity.
- Bear.
I really like your photography. :) If I may ask, some of those photos look like they are from Chernobyl, are they? :D
Thank you for your appreciation!
I have a great sentiment for Chernobyl and Pripyat, they're like paragon for me. I look for places that give off the same vibe. Your opinion convinces me that my efforts aren't futile.
One day I'll confront all my work with Chernobyl NPP scenery, but definetely not now, I'll have to wait ;)

Speak Out: A World Without Twinkies or Ho-Hos?
Hostess shutdown could spell the demise of a snack-cake slice of Americana.
Hostess has baked its last Twinkie and iced its last Ding Dong.
The Texas-based baked-foods giant announced Friday morning that it is shutting down all operations and selling all assets after it failed to reach a deal with the union that represents one-third of its 18,500 employees. The company's other products include Ho-Hos, Sno Balls, Donettes and Nature's Pride and Wonder Bread.
The news has unleashed an outpouring of nostalgia and blogger befuddlement.
How can anyone go bankrupt selling junk food? asks the Chicago Sun-Times's Neil Steinberg—as snack-cake lovers lament the possible loss of an 80-year-old slice of Americana.
Hostess had been churning out 500 million Twinkies and 127 million loaves of Wonder Bread per year, helping it reach $2.5 billion in annual sales, according to CNN.com.
But not to fear; Twinkies are known to last long past their expiration dates. Business experts say the Twinkie will survive.
"The truth is that the Twinkies brand still has value, and will be acquired. Same for Ding Dongs. And (probably) Wonder Bread," writes Fortune. "America may be undergoing major demographic shifts, but empty calories cut across age, gender and ethnicity. … The most likely endgame here is that another bakery snaps up Twinkies… . There also is a small chance that private equity tries to buy the whole thing, now that it would be free of existing pension liabilities."
Such assurances have done nothing to prevent a panicked run on the wee golden snacks. Customers were snatching them up from store shelves and they were going for quite a sweet price online, reports CBS.com.
What about you? Do you have a Twinkie memory to share? Tell us in comments.

The only time I ever ate a Twinkie, I was 5 years old and I got hives. I have never eaten a Twinkie (or similar product) since then.
In seventh-grade geography class, my teacher used a Twinkie and a ruler to demonstrate cross-section maps—she used the ruler to cut through the Twinkie and show us the cross-section. I stayed far away from that Twinkie, though.

When I was a kid a good mother always put Twinkies and Hostess cupcakes in her kids' lunch boxes. Now, that mother would be considered not so very good by the other mothers on lunch duty.

This is such an overblown inaccurate story. The terms of the bankruptcy say that Hostess can sell the recipie or whatever to the company that buys Hostess. No one is going to miss their little cupcakes. And as so many people have said they haven't eaten one in years.

This actually is a tragedy for the 18,500 workers and a big win for the corporate raiders who shafted them for years. I am so sick of these superficial stories that only show one side--the owners'. It's NOT the union's fault.
Read on.

My 1950's Twinkie was FAR better than what they crank out these days. If pastry makers want to thrive, they should offer goods without animal ingredients. Enjoy Life foods can do it, Barbara's cookies can do it. So what if they cost more ? They are better than greasy, refined, sugar laden junk snacks.

Monkeys in space.
No, it's not the title of a wacky B movie, featuring primates amongst the stars in a bid for intergalactic dominance. Rather, Iran says this plot represents its latest bid to join the space race, though Iran's foes fear the real aim may be to test missile launching capabilities for less peaceful purposes.
According to official Iranian news reports, the primate was strapped snugly into a Pishgam (or Pioneer) rocket and launched 120 kilometers (75 miles) into the sky on Monday.
He returned back to Earth sometime later, looking shell-shocked but alive as a crowd of men along the desert ground rejoiced, video from state-run Press TV showed.
"Sending (the monkey into space) and retrieving it was the first step for sending humans into space," Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.
But while it was celebrated in Tehran, the monkey business -- if it actually happened -- didn't play well in Washington.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters Monday that while she saw pictures of "the poor little monkey," the United States doesn't "have any way to confirm this (happened), one way or another."
"But our concerns with Iran's development of space launch vehicle technologies are obviously well-known: Any space launch vehicle capable of placing an object in orbit is directly relevant to the development of long-range ballistic missiles," she told reporters.
Nuland said that, if confirmed, Iran's launch would violate a U.N. Security Council resolution that forbids "any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons."
But the tone was far different in Iran, where officials characterized the monkey's reportedly successful trip high into the sky and back as a major step forward in its space program.

Del. Charniele Herring has traveled around this country, but the first African American woman to chair the Democratic Party of Virginia says, "I just love Virginia; it's been very good to me," Ironic words coming from this great-great-granddaughter of a Lynchburg slave who today leads the state's political party that once upheld segregation in the former capital of the Confederacy.
In a week of circus like activity for the GOP, Republican Congressman Allen West may have taken the award for the most over the top statement ever given. In a recent sit down with the Florida Representative, CNN anchor John King asked Mr. West how he felt about being a black Congressman during Black History Month.
After serving 42 years in an Arizona prison for a crime he didn't commit, a 58-year-old man was finally released this April. When Louis Taylor was just 16, he ventured out of his comfort zone to try a happy hour advertised by an upscale Tucson hotel, a typical foray for an adventurous teenage boy. Unfortunately, that night a fire broke out that ultimately claimed 29 lives. In that moment, Taylor stopped being typical and became extraordinary. He did not run from the danger as most people would. Instead he took responsibility. He was spotted during the crisis busily helping people escape the flames, escorting guests to safety and assisting people on stretchers.

"We have so many outstanding people working for the A&M System and these awards are a way to honor the special men and women for all that they do for the people of Texas," said John Sharp, chancellor of the A&M System.
For 32 years, George L. Gonzales, formerly of Bee County, has served with pride and enthusiasm as a county-based extension educator. He is renowned for an ambitious, grassroots approach to extension work, yielding many successful educational programs, result and applied research demonstrations, and other community-based initiatives to improve the quality of life in Texas.
Gonzales began his career in 1980 as an assistant county extension agent in Bee County. He became the county extension agent in Webb County in 1984. With 11 different extension specialists, he has co-authored 63 research demonstration reports. He earned the highest rank (Level IV) for an AgriLife Extension agent, serves as the county coordinator in Webb County and, for many years, has helped to train and instill the highest standards in other agents, who have moved on to serve across the state and at every level of the organization.
"George Gonzales has a record of performance and achievement as long as it is impressive. He's an accomplished educator and media communicator…who is synonymous with agriculture in this part of the state and has earned the respect of local elected officials, including Sen. Zaffirini, Rep. Raymond and numerous county judges. He has the single most diverse program in the district, built on the strongest program development committees and advisory board…making him highly respected and effective in all that he does," said Dr. Ruben Saldaña, district extension administrator, Texas AgriLife Extension Service, Weslaco.
Gonzales' achievements exemplify the benefits of the extension model-delivering research and science-based knowledge from the land-grant university system directly to the people, at a local level. For extension education, Gonzales is himself a result demonstration, proving the profound differences a county-based educator can make in the world that matters most to the people he serves.
To date, 166 A&M System faculty members have been recognized with the Regents Professor Award and 96 agency professionals have received the Regents Fellow Service Award.
Gonzales will be receiving this distinguished award at a reception and dinner hosted by the Texas A&M Board of Regents on Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013, at Texas A&M University in College Station.

A debut of extraordinary distinction: through the trials of one unforgettable family, Ayana Mathis tells the story of the children of the Great Migration, a story of love and bitterness and the promise of a new America.
In 1923, 15-year-old Hattie Shepherd flees Georgia and settles in Philadelphia, hoping for a chance at a better life. Instead, she marries a man who will bring her nothing but disappointment and watches helplessly as her firstborn twins succumb to an illness a few pennies could have prevented. Hattie gives birth to nine more children, whom she raises with grit and mettle and not an ounce of the tenderness they crave. She vows to prepare them for the calamitous difficulty they are sure to face in their later lives, to meet a world that will not love them.
Captured here in 12 luminous narrative threads, their lives tell the story of a mother's monumental courage and the journey of a nation. Beautiful and devastating, Ayana Mathis's The Twelve Tribes of Hattie is glorious, harrowing, unexpectedly uplifting, and blazing with life.
©2013 Ayana Mathis (P)2013 Random House Audio
I believe a reviewer should finish a book before submitting a review. What do you think?
"Hattie and her Family Tragically Flawed"
Hattie bore eleven children. In the death of her first two, twins, Hattie becomes a shell of a woman. She is a victim of circumstance, from the times, from her relationships and from herself. Her husband August can't or won't be the man she needs yet he was the one person who shined with love, passion and tenderness toward the children.
The writing was superb; the twining of the twelve tales worked. I felt the ending abrupt and a bit disappointing.And I am so glad to have experienced this book.
"For me...So So"
I have read many of Oprahs book club books so I was a little disappointed by this one. Don't get me wrong it was very well written and the narrators were great but the story itself wasn't as intriguing to me as other book club books have been. I usually find books written like this one a refreshing change (each chapter is its own little story adding to the 1 big story) but with this book I felt like I never really got invested in any one character which made me not invested in the overall big story. I finished listening, it was entertaining but it did not resound with me in the way I thought it would.
I believe that personally I am not in a place in my life to fully appreciate this book which is why I do not discourage anyone from giving this book a shot. I think there are tons of people out there who will really "get" this book.
"good read"
yes, at parts I did not want to stop listening
I could almost visualize the character speaking as the narrator was reading, the narrator was that good.
Hattie, of course!
did not like the way it ended...an abrupt end...but then, maybe I did not want it to end!
Librarian, Avid Reader, Audiobook Addict!
"Not as good as I expected- narration is fabulous"
I have never been one for Oprah's books usually a sticker saying she picked it makes me run the other way but this one sounded like one I'd really enjoy…however…
I am not sure what to say about this book it is well written but the choppiness of all the stories made it a little hard to follow, it seemed like just when you were starting to care about one of Hattie's children the story would jump to another. Also Hattie was not that likeable it doesn't seem like she was a good mother or that August was a good father or that they were good together. It seemed like losing those first 2 babies turned Hattie's heart to stone yet she went on to have more and more children and didn't seem to love any of them all that much. Also each of these children is extremely flawed and I think the author is saying it is the way they were raised but it seemed no one rose above no one did better it seemed that the poverty that gripped Hattie gripped her children too and it set them down paths to unhappiness. I'm sure this is a realistic depiction of some families and how circumstance will mark you forever but I think I would have liked this story much better if even one these children had been given a happy ending of some kind. Also the ending was so abrupt I thought I had missed downloading a part.
The audio production: this book was narrated by, Adenrele Ojo, Bahni Turpin,& Adam Lazarre-White I have only listened to Bahni before and I am a huge fan, I was also very impressed with the other two narrators they both did a great job but Adam Lazarre-White was hands down the new narrator find for me he is fabulous reminded me a lot of Dion Graham he has that silky low voice but Adam's had a little more gravel to it which I really enjoyed I will be looking for more narrated by all these narrators!
I would read another book by this author because her writing was very good but this book was just kind of middle ground for me.
3 Stars
5 Star Narration
"Great soul searching read"
Yes. It was a beautifully written book and the narration was of the highest quality.
Hattie herself. She was such a proud woman but sometimes our pride can have unintented consequences.
This was such a sad story. I think after reading this you can't help but do some soul searching and reflect on how you raise or are raising your children.
"One of the greatest books of all time!"
This is easily one of the best books I have listened too. In a word this work is BRILLIANT! What Ms. Mathis does with language and imagery awes me at every step. The structure, the style, the prose - all perfection.
"A Different View"
I felt like this book was very well written. I went into the book knowing nothing about the story, and was amazed how well it is crafted. This really showed me a different kind of life that I have never been properly exposed to. There are so many horrific parts in the book that enraged me, and made me grateful for the day and age we live in now. Truly an enlightening book. Bravo.
I think the part when Six is shipped from home, and makes such a name for himself is the most memorable for me. I thought it was very ironic that he was curing people, giving them life, when he was so depressed and lifeless himself. Also near the end of the book Hattie refers to Six as "lost", that he was going to be a troubled soul forever. This was sad to me, because I feel like nobody is lost, with the right support anybody can get better.
This narrator was perfect for this book, because she brought the characters to life with the hint of accent.
. Yes. You miss some of the in depth meanings and strength of characters on just one read.
Hattie for her strength of character and freedom of spirit
To portray each character with honesty
"The story was not complete"
I totaly got into the book, but it ended with out completeing what happened to the
characters,were the decisions made good for them.
Like the baby Ella who went home with her Aunt was this good for Ella. Was Hatties sacrifice the right sacrifice. The gay son where did his life go. the wealthy daughter who was a witness to chld molestation what happened to her and her brother.
why was Hattie so angry, who did she blame for the loss of the twins. Why did she just seem to ebb and flow with out any emotion other than anger.
Iloved the book as far as it went but it left to much out .
"Good one!!"
I like the way this book was written, it was a great find!! I would highly recommend it. I looked forward to listening to this one every chance I had!!

MK Oversized Runway Watch
Excellent watch, very happy with my purchase! The watch is really big, but I like it very much! I've got lots of compliments for my watch and it's my third MK watch. I really love them all :-)
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Nice but HUGE!
The face of this watch is SO BIG (and chunky, the face is wide and tall). I loved the navy face and style but it was just way too huge for my wrist, I had to return it :( Wouldn't recommend for petite wrists.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

The face of this watch is VERY big! I went back and forth about whether to keep it or not cos it's that big, but decided to keep it. It's a statement watch and doesnt require any other jewelry which i like. It's not really an every day watch.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

Skin From Skunk Anansie
DJ Set
As well as fronting one of the UK's key bands Deborah Anne Dyer, a.k.a Skin is a multi-talented artist involved in varied projects. Being also an established DJ, playing "tech house" Skin is coming to Istanbul on June 16th with her DJ set.
One of Britain's leading female rock singers Skin is also a fashion icon, a renowned DJ, a charity activist. Born and brought up in Brixton, she defied expectations as a black woman vocalist by diving headlong into hardcore rock, rather than becoming a soul session singer. Since she emerged in the early '90s with Skunk Anansie, Skin has been a groundbreaking presence.
In the '90s Skunk Anansie dominated the album charts with Paranoid and Sunburnt (1995), Stoosh (1995) and Post Orgasmic Chill (1996). They had a succession of hit singles including the devastating ballads 'Brazen (Weep)', 'Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good)', and 'Weak', where, with her rich, soulful voice Skin seemed to reach deep inside to draw out powerful emotion.
Skin launched a solo career, releasing and touring the albums Fleshwounds in 2003 and Fake Chemical State in 2006. The band couldn\'t resist the urge to make music together anymore so they got back together, in 2009.

Some interesting learnings to take on board when thinking about iPad activity from News Australia.
Insights that Incite: 10 Things We've Learned From 10 iPad users
Last week we spent 20 hours watching how 10 iPad users use the device. Here are 10 things we learned by watching 10 iPad users:
1. It's a global newsstand. They are buying foreign versions of magazines, oftentimes not even knowing it. "The cover of Vogue is different from the print version" (btw, these were smart, affluent luxury readers we interviewed). We now compete with 12 versions of GQ in the Zinio newsstand.
2. The competition on tablets isn't just other magazines; it's everything from Angry Birds to Skype to Pinterest. We are competing for their attention against 60,000 other iPad apps.
3. Awareness of Apple Newsstand and Zinio is low. People are generally unfamiliar with magazines on tablets. A lot of focus is on apps for work and just using the tablet for web browsing (Safari) and email, social networking.
4. Ads with interactivity win: They like being able to engage and interact with relevant ads. Ads without interactivity annoy – they are just static, take up the full screen and unlike print, there is no content on the opposite page because there is no opposite page.
5. A flick is faster than a flip: When they are annoyed by ads or not engaged with it, they can flick by fast – faster than they can normally flip a page.
6. They prefer to flick left to right – not up and down. They get lost when going up and down, and worry that they've missed some content.
7. Content and commerce can blur: They don't mind the blurring of content and commerce – it reflects the "lean back AND lean forward" experience of the iPad.
8. It has to work: There are a lot of apps that crash or don't work properly. Unlike laptops, the ipad has more limited disc space/memory and they will delete apps that don't work or offer value to their lives.
9. Most people will continue to read a mix of print and iPad magazines. Only a few planned to totally ditch print.
10. A magazine renaissance is coming. Print and tablets have many parallels – they use the same language to talk about them: the tactile nature, the beautiful photos, the focused attention they place on them.
From the study "Making Digital Glossy" – a collaborative study between NewsLifeMedia and Mediacom Prestige
Due to the estimated increase of Australian online buyers and spend, the estimated increase will continue to rise into the billions of dollars.
" … having a local presence in Australia doesn't necessarily give native retailers an advantage in ecommerce—innovative international sites that offer competitive value remain an important destination."
Ecommerce is booming worldwide, but especially so in Australia. eMarketer forecasts that B2C ecommerce sales in the country will rise from $10.5 billion in 2011 to $13.3 billion in 2012, an increase of 26.7%.
In the April 2012 issue of GroupM's semi-annual report "This Year, Next Year," the media investment management firm forecast total ecommerce in Australia to reach AU$36 billion ($37.1 billion) in 2012, up from AU$32 billion ($33.0 billion) in 2011. While GroupM's absolute figures are more bullish, the growth rate is lower at 12.5%.
Although the two growth estimates show a huge variance, both figures are considerable. The increase is due to two factors: First, eMarketer estimates that online buyers will approach 70% of all internet users in 2012, for a total of 9.5 million. Second, GroupM estimates that the average consumer in Australia will spend $2,108 online in 2012, up nearly $100 from $2,011 in 2011.
And the Australian market is wide open for foreign retailers, as well. According to Forrester's April 2012 "Asia Pacific Online Retail Forecast, 2011-2016" report, having a local presence in Australia doesn't necessarily give native retailers an advantage in ecommerce—innovative international sites that offer competitive value remain an important destination.
"US retailers have already targeted Australia, but there is plenty of room for expansion," said Jeffrey Grau, eMarketer principal analyst. "Besides sharing linguistic and cultural affinities, Australia does not require duty on imports under AU$1,000 ($1,031). Plus, the strength of the Australian dollar further adds to the attractiveness of this market."

The rumours are true, Spotify is here.
With over 16 million tracks, Spotify is now offering the Australian and New Zealand market free live streaming. Launching in the US in summer 2011, it has taken almost 12 months to reach the AU and NZ markets.
The platform was initially available to the US for a 6 month trial. After 6 months, a premium version was required to access the platform. However, the AU and NZ strategy is offering access indefinitely allowing the platform to monetise through advertising. A premium version is available, without ads.
The platform can be accessed via a desktop or streamed through the dedicated app. The Spotify player also allows integration between a number of streaming sites such as last.fm, Triple J and Rolling Stone, where users can share and rate all their music in the one place.
Spotify are yet to conquer Latin American and Canada, however "there is no denying that Spotify has its sights set on global growth".

19 year old designer of Pinterest, Sahil Lavingia, is launching his latest online creation Gumroad.
Gumroad is an eCommerce site tipped to take online shopping to a whole new level of social. Set to rival the closed network of iTunes, Gumroad allows digital creations to be uploaded and sold. Think apps, music, blog posts, any content creation that you can share and sell, can be uploaded. Creators can sell to their Twitter followers, Facebook friends. Gumroad makes money by taking a 5% cut of every purchase, compared to the 30% retained by Apple across from app store.
Like iTunes, Gumroad competes with the philosophy that creativity and content can/should be shared for free. However, Lavingia notes that the biggest problem won't be getting people to buy content on Gumroad, it will be counteracting the fear that creators have when it comes to putting a price "on the stuff they create".
Gumroad's major selling point is that it offers a service for amateur creators to share their products and potentially make a buck unlike any other platform. Lavingia hopes that the service will grow to attract professional creators and artists who are looking for alternate distribution models.

Magnum have launched their campaign promoting the Infinity ice cream, which uses facial recognition technology in billboards across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
In a world first for Australia, passers by are encouraged to activate the billboard with a smile and then eat their way through a virtual ice cream. They can then have their photo taken, which will be posted on the Streets Facebook page. A virtual bite may not be quite satisfying enough for Magnum lovers, so it is hoped that they'll want to indulge in the " intense pleasure of the real Magnum Infinity".

"Maintenance NIGHTMARE"
Almost like clockwork the boiler has problems twice a year costing nearly $500 each time. very poor quality and very poorly designed. This piece of equipment should never have been allowed to be on the market.

"Don't Buy!"
We have replaced the blower and the electronics on our unit. Now it looks like we will need to spend even more to fix the latest issue. Pretty soon, we will have spent as much on keeping it running as we did to purchase it. When I called Munchkin, I was told "you can have efficiency or reliability". Wonderful. All the money we save on efficiency we get to spend on replacement parts. Crummy product, crummy company.

"Hate this thing!"
I'm reading other posts and forgive me if I haven't read all 16 pages, but it sounds like a few of you really know what you are doing, so I would love some advice. The boiler was installed in 2007. The first year we had no problems, but every year since it has broken. Every time, the blue plate has been corroded. This time, the control panel is not getting electricity. Every plumber that comes out tells us that the intake and outtake vents are not correct, but when I look at the manual, it looks like it was installed exactly like the diagram "sidewall venting with concentric vent kit." Obviously this is not working the way it should, and I would like to tell the plumber who originally installed it that it wasn't installed correctly, but it looks like it was. But I see other people posting here that it is much better to have the vents separate, and at least 18" apart. Can anyone give me advice as to how to proceed with this? This thing is driving me crazy.

"Munchkin problems"
We purchased our house in 2007 and was initially impressed with the Munchkin. We've always had problems with the f09 error; I figured out how to take care of that problem. Now it's f10. I live in a small town where there are only a four people who know how to work on it. The first guy came out and did all the maintenance, $250. That night we still had f10 problems. He admitted he didn't know what to do and gave us a name of another business. That guy came out, said he fixed it, and gave me all the history on Munchkins and boilers, $250. Within an hour after he left, f10. I understand that there may be condensation. I have the third business coming out today.

"Unreliable Junk"
Purchased house 7 years ago and was impressed with the presents of the Munchkin boiler and a very well done installation. So much for looks. The plastic impeller of the blower failed within 2 months the first time and continued to disintegrate (had four replaced with the same type that continued to fail). After the first one failed, redid the vent (although the original installation was done exactly per the manufactures specification) so that under no circumstances could the exhaust feed back into the air intake. Plastic continued to fail. It's always interesting to hear "the problem is the installation" when dealing with a poorly engineered component. Finally, after 4 years of continued problems associated with the design, I called http directly (it also helped when I informed them I run a military failure analysis lab) and they sent me a new blower with a metal impeller which has continued to operate for 2 years without falling apart. However, now we have a sever vibration when the blower clears the boiler just prior to ignition, that is if it starts. We can not leave our home in the winter for any period longer than 24 hours, since we never know when or if the boiler will operate. And, yes, we have had all the service calls recommended (averaging 4 per year) by factor authorized repair companies and have spent about twice the cost of the unit on labor. I would have been money ahead to pitch the unit and replace it with something "more reliable"?

"Buyer Beware"
I have radiant heat serviced by a Munchkin gas boiler. I have had it maintained faithfully, but last week, during a routine maintenance visit, the service person found a hole in the boiler. I had to have this fairly new unit replaced. The company did provide a new unit, as specified in the warranty, but I was left with a $2000 labor cost for reinstalling the unit. I contacted the company and they hid behind their legal warning that all labor costs must be born by the customer. I am not satisfied with the policy, and I am no longer happy with the craftsmanship of the Munchkin machine or the HTProducts service. I am here to say, "Buyer Beware!" I am.

To any one who wants a munchkin boiler -- stay away from them. I only use mine in the summer to heat my hot water and every spring when I fire it up (or should I say try to) it doesn't work. Apparently the people that installed it don't want to work on it either -- they never get back to me. The best thing to do with one of these is: don't buy one.

"Overpriced and Unreliable"
We have had our htp Munchkin 80m for just over 6 years now. It was very expensive to begin with, and I really was hopeful that the unit would provide many years of trouble free service with high efficiency. The unit is certainly efficient and has reduced our home heating bills considerably. However, the reliability has been awe full and this unit has turned into a very expensive lesson! To make matters worse, Heat transfer Products customer device is lousy and they certainly don't care about customer complaints. We have made several requests directly to htp for assistance, and we just keep getting passed to their distributor. Although the warranty covered us for the first few years, it is now out of warranty and having several service calls per year is getting expensive. To date we have had to replace the gas valve, air intake rubber sleeve, the control board and wiring harness. Still, we have f18 errors all the time and have to manually reset the unit 2 to 3x per week. If I had the money... I'd toss this thing out in a heartbeat and replace it with a simple low efficiency boiler. We are now spending close to $1000 year since the warranty lapsed on service/parts for this thing; which more than negates the savings we have achieved for it's high efficiency. To make matters worse, we also purchased a htp SuperStore indirect water heater. This has been replaced once (under warranty but we were on the hook for labor) as the unit developed a leak. Again, HTP's customer service was deplorable. I am very concentious and try to buy American made products whenever possible. With htp being based in ma, and employing local people to make these products - I find it a very sad state of affairs that htp doesn't seem to have any interest in how their products performs once they are out the factory door! *** Bottom line - stay away from htp and their products. I have learned my lesson the hard way. ***

Mercer Island pair embraces 'Tikum Olam'
By ALICE KADERLAN
Mercer Island Reporter Contributor
January 16, 2013 · Updated 10:04 AM
The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle's annual Connections Brunch, set for Jan. 27, represents the largest gathering of Jewish women in the entire Northwest each year. It is no small task. Yet Mercer Islander Iantha Sidell and her daughter, Brooke Pariser, who are chairing the event, are well-suited for their roles.
Pariser comes by her "volunteering" genes honestly. Her mother, Sidell, has won numerous awards from the local and national Jewish Federations as well as other organizations, based on a staggering list of volunteer and philanthropic activities.
Pariser is building her own reputation as a young leader in the Jewish community, but this year's Connections 2013 Brunch, sponsored by the Federation, represents the first time that she and her mother are chairing such a major event together.
Connections is historically the largest gathering of Jewish women in the Northwest, and this year looks to be no different. Managing the event is a huge effort and, as co-chairs, Sidell and Pariser have become deeply involved in many of the hands-on tasks.
They have helped plan the program — a dazzling presentation by classical pianist and actress Mona Golabek — and event details such as location and theme ('Women Making Choices'), and spent countless hours calling, emailing and Facebooking friends and acquaintances to spread the word.
Helping others is an essential part of their connection to Judaism, which Sidell adopted as a matter of choice and whose tradition Pariser is continuing in her own family.
"In Judaism we have the idea of 'Tikun Olam,' or 'repairing the world,'" explains Sidell. "When I got married, I was privileged to become part of a healthy Jewish community, so I want to make sure that others also have a healthy Jewish community, whether they're here, in Israel or anywhere in the world."
For Pariser, who started volunteering in middle school, going to high school in Israel shifted her focus to working exclusively for Jewish causes.
"The exposure to Israel helped me see the importance of my Jewishness to my life, and my mom has been most active in the Federation, so after college, I joined the Federation's young leadership board," she said.
Since then, Pariser has taken on other Federation activities, including chairing the Federation's annual meeting and taking part in the Federation's Advanced Leadership Development Program.
Pariser said her mother's example has been an inspiration and a guide for her own activities.
"She never pushed me," Pariser says of Sidell, "but led by example. I won't fill the same shoes, but because of her, volunteering will be a big part of my life and my daughter's."
Connections 2013: Women Making Choices takes place on Jan. 27 at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.
The program features a musical-theatrical presentation by acclaimed concert pianist Mona Golabek, based on her book, "The Children of Willesden Lane." The book chronicles the story of Lisa Jura, Mona's mother, who made her way on the Kindertransport from Vienna to London and later to a career as a concert pianist.

Not only is Alicia Keys a singer, actress, mother, and all-around cool chick, she has to add "shoe designer" to the list? Alicia Keys and Reebok have partnered up for a collection designed and inspired by Alicia's love affair with her 5411′s. Alicia told People Magazine that she "has been a fan forever, since [she] was a little girl — that's been [her] flow, [her] style." "I can see people wanting to rock them, love wearing them," Alicia revealed. "It all feels really great, and speaks to who I am and what I love."
Alicia's campaign will launch tonight at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards during a commercial break featuring Alicia and the shoes. Alicia commented, "Premiering the commercial during the VMAs is so cool, because [the campaign] is really about the strength of women. I'm always struggling to balance my life, family career — and figure out how the hell to get to the gym," Alicia candidly joked. "I love how the commercial really speaks to embracing how powerful and wonderful you are, exactly how you are."
Catch Alicia Keys when she performs a new single from Girl On Fire at the 2012 MTV VMAs, airing at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT on MUCH tonight!

University of Hawaii President M.R.C. Greenwood
UH Cancer Center opening
The University of Hawaii realized a long-awaited dream on February 23, when the UH Cancer Center held its grand opening. The event marked the culmination of a project that began in October 2010. We are proud to say that the UH Cancer Center was completed four months ahead of schedule and $16 million under budget.
More than 300 people attended the ceremony, which included the untying of the maile lei. Irene Hirano Inouye and I did the honors while others looked on, including UH Manoa Chancellor Tom Apple, Ken Inouye, UH Cancer Center Director Michele Carbone, former UH Manoa Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw and Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa. Others in attendance included UH ohana, the community, state lawmakers and other special guests that included scientist and Nobel Laureate Elizabeth Blackburn and Chief Executive Officer at the American Association for Cancer Research, Margaret Foti.
This is a critical time for cancer research in Hawaii and this state-of-the-art facility will attract top tier researchers and visiting scholars.
The six-story, 150-thousand square foot facility brings all of the center's programs and researchers under one roof. The center employs more than 300 people, including 40 primary faculty members. Researchers are conducting more than 100 cancer research projects, with the goal of finding cures for cancer, or at least improving prevention and treatment for Hawaii residents.
Watch a video from the opening.
A researcher, scholar and passionate advocate for higher education, M.R.C. Greenwood is the 14th president of the 10-campus University of Hawaii System—the chief executive officer of the state's only public institution of higher education.

Dear DaBearsters,
I am starting this thread to hopefully earn some of your forgiveness, because I am really, really sorry for that stupid, ill-advised thread I started back after the Packers game - you know the one. Over the past month, I have been struggling with a manic episode as is part of my bipolar disorder, and I guess I didn't think before I said something that was truly so stupid. While I think Jay Cutler certainly could improve on some of the ways he conducts himself, he is ultimately the leader of this offense, and we have to follow in line behind him, and give him, as the fans that we are, the support he needs. Overall, Cutler is a very good leader, and he's produced two really nice games in a row over Dallas and Jacksonville. Here's looking toward the Detroit game for him.
The funny thing about bipolar disorder is that I have probably caused myself more heartache and pain by some of the shenanigans I have gotten myself into over the past twelve years than I ever did in the previous nineteen years. College was a difficult thing for me because I would have nervous breakdowns every so often, including one while working a simple job as a photo technician at a local Walgreens, and I never had any continuity from the time of my first nervous breakdown forward in school to now that I'm working as a substitute teacher as I'm exploring my options on whether I want to be a social studies teacher, hence why I struggled to attend classes consistently and to make the best grades that I could have made. You people have no idea what you mean to me on this site, as it has become my home on the Internet. There have been periods over the past several years whereby I have taken significant time away from the site for whatever reason there was to do so at the time, but ultimately, I always returned, and I have relished the camaraderie with so many of you over the years. Ergo, I want to say that I am so very sorry yet again, and I hope you will forgive me for my past transgressions.
