Proposed alcohol tax increase could kill craft brewers
Law commission chief Sir Geoffrey Palmer's proposed alcohol tax increase will disproportionately hurt craft brewers, who argue they are the very people who promote responsible beer drinking the most.
Using a Berl report on the costs of alcohol as a starting point for discussion, Mr Palmer is mooting an across the board increase of the excise tax on alcohol in a bid to reduce the social and health costs of excessive alcohol consumption.
An overall tax increase of $6 per litre of absolute alcohol has been mooted as a starting point in the Alcohol Healthwatch Briefing Paper 2004, "with possible further increases depending on indicators of harm."
Sir Geoffrey points to the substantial gap between the taxes the country receives from alcohol purchases: $795 million; and an estimated social cost of harmful misuse of alcohol being $5.296 billion, and argues for redressing the difference by simply increasing the excise tax.
Craft brewer Luke Nicholas of Epic Beer and the Real Beer website contends that not only is the Berl study the Law Commission using as its starting point flawed,but also from a health and violence point of view it would make more sense to not only remove excise taxes from the niche craft brewing industry but actually subsidise it.
A six pack of Epic costs around $20, the same price as a dozen Tuis, "so people aren't going to be binge drinking on Epic for a start" says Mr Nicholas, and it's representative of the 50 small craft breweries around the country who just don't make products a binge-drinker is going to consume.
"Binge drinkers treat their consumables like commodities, which is what they're being marketed as. They'll just drink any old swill as long as it's cold and it gets them pissed, they don't care. They're a different group of people from the people that are drinking craft beer", says Mr Nicholas.
The problem arguably lies with products like Tui, Lion Red, Export Gold and RTDs rather than craft beers. So according to the logic of using price as a disincentive to drink, the lower end of the market is where the focus of any increased taxes should be according to craft brewers (who are represented by industry body the Society of Beer Advocates (SOBA).
"Craft brewers make people take the time to think about what they're consuming because they've got a lot of choice; they can sit down and talk about what they're drinking, the different styles, and who's made it. Whereas with Lion and that it's just a big stream of liquid that comes out, and they just put different colours on it to make it look pretty and keep the price down. There's nothing to talk about there because all the beers are the same." Mr Nicholas says.
Craft brewers say they are creating a product and culture for more responsible drinkers, pointing to their ubiquitous availability in brew pubs, where specialty beers are available with food – and are encouraged to be matched.
"A lot of these businesses, the segment of the market that are doing the most to encourage a responsible drinking culture would be hurt the worst, and to a point where it would make a lot of these businesses get crushed," Mr Nicholas says.
"And if the price goes up too much, people will just start bootlegging it, creating moonshine or home brew, and then you've just created this black market, which creates a bigger problem."
So, contrary to suffering an excise tax increase – craft brewers should receive tax relief in the form of an entry-level bracket to encourage a nascent industry and drinking culture.
Mr Nicholas points to comments by by Christchurch economist Eric Crampton published in the Press, that argues that the "Berl report cannot form the basis for any reasonable consideration of the welfare effects of alcohol policy" because of faulty economic assumptions that underlie its reasoning.
"I'm very, very confused and I don't want my business to be destroyed because of the minority of people that abuse alcohol," he says.
A petition started by Nelson publican Mic Dover urges tax breaks for brewers of craft beer. It is available here.
Update: Labour MP Lianne Dalziel is backing the petition.
"On tax increases, I totally agree with (Mr Dover),"says Ms Dalziel, "who
raised a very good point. They (craft beers) are not the problem as far as
beer sales are concerned, therefore across-the-board tax increases would
unfairly impact on them as compared to the major suppliers of beer, which
are actually supermarkets, not micro-brewery operations or indeed some of
the bottle stores we have around New Zealand."

Glossary of Terms - Under Development
Anti-Christ - a term that goes beyond just the "one" anti-Christ but can apply to any evil leader who wrecks havoc on people and the planet. For example, some people consider Napoleon and Hitler to be anti-Christs.
Archons - a term from Gnosticism that refers to ancient, evil spiritual beings that control the planet. Can also be used in modern terminology to refer to human "elites" or the spirits that control them.
Christ Consciousness - a New Age term that refers to embodying divine consciousness in a human body; for our purposes, the connection of the soul with the Christ energy.
The Elite - a more "secular" term for big money interests that vie to control the planet - unlike the term "Illuminati," there is no direct occult association with the "Elite."
Illuminati - a broad term that refers to rich elite families and their minions who allegedly want to control the planet; there's also an occult element to the "Illuminati," who are thought to worship Lucifer and use black magic rituals to get and retain power.

At the Challenge kick-off, Winston Guillory, senior VP of Navteq welcomed the crowd and provided a short state-of the-industry recap of the location-based services market. Guillory noted how LBS have matured and that as a result, Navteq is now serving some 7 billion maps and route planning transactions annually. Customers are from every corner of the business market and include such names as Fed-Ex and UPS to name a few. He noted that in North America there are now roughly 10 cellular GPS solutions available to customers and that leading carrier Sprint/Nextel has provided a big boost to the market with their clever and aggressive marketing of LBS to their customers. Drivers of LBS include:
Market drivers such as robust developer tools and the commercialization of applications have made this the right time to issue an LBS Challenge! For the first time, this year there will be 2 challenges with separate prizes and separate winners. Each LBS Challenge will see creative and hot applications showcased and offered to carriers � note: members from leading wireless carriers make up the panel of judges. A big carrot to developers considering taking up the LBS Challenge is the access to these carrier reps, additionally, representatives from venture capital firms will also be in attendance. Perhaps the biggest benefit though is the fact an application that wins in any given category is essentially getting a stamp of approval and validation from the industry� this is huge!
Panel of Judges
This past spring at CTIA Wireless in New Orleans, representatives from leading wireless carriers, mobile device manufacturers, and other leading wireless businesses made up a panel of judges in the LBS Challenge. Once again, an esteemed panel of judges has been put together to judge the 2006 LBS Challenge. Representatives on the panel come from all segments of the LBS value chain and include a group that is dedicated to making a large commitment of their time. Four judges are once again returning, with panel made up of representatives from the following companies:Battery Ventures, Hatch Ventures, Nokia, Sprint/Nextel, US Cellular, Yankee Group, Verizon, and Bell Canada.
Panel of judges for the 2006 LBS Challenge
The judges will select applications in 4 categories, winning applications being chosen based on excellence in utility and usability. With upwards of 200 applications likely expected to be entered in the Challenge, the first round of judging will serve to whittle the group down to a manageable number of semi-finalists grouped into the 4 categories:- Business applications- Entertainment & Leisure- Navigation- Social Networking
Created in 2003, the LBS Challenge has served to provide validation to the ideas of numerous developers and served as a forum to showcase excellence in LBS solutions. The challenge stimulates the proliferation of location-services by bringing together leaders in the mobile arena� this year the LBS Challenge will divide and conquer by expanding to include a North American and European Challenge. Some key dates follow:- registration ends December 2, 2005- registration forms must be received by December, 9, 2005- application entries must be submitted by January 27, 2006 (North America)- application entries must be submitted by December 22, 2005 (Europe)- application submissions must be received by Feb 3, 2006- Winners in European challenge to be announced Feb 13-16, 2006 at 3GSM Congress, Barcelona, Spain.- Winners of North American Challenge to be announced at CTIA Wireless, April 5-7, 2006 in Las Vegas, NV. Official judging, April 3-4, 2006.
The LBS Challenge is sponsored by a group of companies all of whom offer location enabling solutions and mobile platforms. Developers are encouraged to take advantage of tools and resources offered by these sponsoring companies. Some of the enabling solutions that will be used include:
Telcontar Drill Down Server - Telcontar powers the one of the most cutting-edge location-based services provided by the world's best-known Internet and wireless companies, including Ask Jeeves, Google, Motorola Viamoto, TeleNav and Yahoo!. As part of the NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge, Telcontar will provide http://www.telcontar.com/developers
ESRI ArcWeb Services - ArcWeb Services offer wireless developers access to rich content and functionality through SOAP Web services. ArcWeb Services are hosted by ESRI and include more than fifty-five programming objects with access to over 150 data sets. http://www.esri.com/lbschallenge.com
Networks in Motion NAVBuilder � NAVBuilder(TM) enables developers to enhance their applications with location-based features including navigation, local directories, maps, directions, and more. NAVBuilder offers a BREW extension or J2ME library for mobile applications, and a WEB interface for location-enabling web applications.

Contestants can sign-up to use NIM's NAVBuilder tools at: http://www.networksinmotion.com/products/navbuilder.html
Nokia � C++ and Java development tools available via forum.nokia.com and through various Symbian OS APIs. LBS applications are supported across Nokia platforms via JSR-179, the Location API for the Java(TM) 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME(TM)). A separate collection of native APIs is provided for Series 60 and Series 80 phones, to enable native applications to utilize location features
Each of the sponsoring companies maintains a developer program and offers tools, documentation, and many other resources to developers that wish to build their LBS applications using their solutions.
Jumpstarting LBS� developers are encouraged to submit their non-commercial applications to the Challenge. The competition will be heated once again as more than 80 developers have already registered! $800k in cash and prizes are waiting, however, the big prize is likely the recognition and validation that the winner will receive from the industry�winning the LBS Challenge is truly the stamp of approval that will launch a developer on his way. Andrew Graham, CEO of BIM � last year�s LBS Challenge winner - has noted that validation was the big prize. Numerous opportunities for funding have arisen; they�ve established many partnerships and validated partnerships that already existed.
Some Successes spawned out of the LBS Challenge to date:3 developers integral in a carrier launchOne company embedded into Nextel device1 company featured on a Canadian deck
VC's are interested in LBS and the interest is Global. Consumer and enterprise applications are in demand while the anabling technologies are now in place. The mobile handset(terminal) is viewed as the 3rd screen and heightened consumer demand for location-enabled applications and services is at an all time high. Do you have what it takes? You'll never know unless you enter the LBS Challenge... Good Luck.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
It's Monday! What are you reading? Is a meme sponsored by Sheila at Book Journey. Kellee at Unleashing Readers and Jen at Teach Menor Texts gave the meme a kidlit twist. It's a great way to reflect on what you've read and reviewed the last week and plan what you want to read next. Join up with us and discover what good books other people are reading.
I got some writing done, I canned more tomatoes and pasta sauce. I battled yellow jackets and baby snakes. I even read some. Here are the books that joined me through this week.
I finished…
The Cup of Our Life by Joyce Rupp – I've been using this book for my morning devotions the past six weeks. I've used it before, but since I'm at a different place in my life, the reflections are still fresh and relevant. Once again, I am moved by the symbolism of a cup for many things in my life.
Staff of Serapis by Rick Riordan – I found this one while poking around on Amazon looking for something else. I still have to wait until October for The Blood of Olympus, but this long short story–or is it a short novella–might hold me over until then. This time Annabeth Chase and Sadie Kane come together to defeat a monster that combines Greek and Egyptian elements. The question remains, is Riordan just teasing us with these shorts, or is he planning another series joining the Greek demigods and the Egyptian magicians?
I'm currently reading…
Les Miserables by VIctor Hugo – I know this is one reason my reading (in terms of number of books) has slowed down. I have spent quite a bit of time this week with Gavroche (a Paris street urchin) as he rescued his unknown younger brothers and escaping from prison with Thenadier. He may be a rascal and the "master of the house," but he does have street smarts. I am now 67% of the way through. I'm still working to finish it by the end of the year.
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein – I am almost done–just 25 minutes or so left. I loved Morven Christie's narration of Queenie/Julie. She wrung every drop of emotion out of the character without being overwrought. Then when Lucy Gaskell started narrating Maddy's/Kitty Hawk's part, I was blown away. Her voice brought Maddy to life in my mind. I will be sad to finish with this story again.
2014 Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market edited by Chuck Sambuchino – I have learned so much from reading the articles and interviews–making the most of conferences, creating compelling characters, taking the plunge into self-publishing, and more. I am almost through the informational part for writing craft and business and to the list of publishers, agents, editors, magazines.
Bugged! How Insects Changed History by Sarah Albee – I am having too much fun reading this one. I have to bite my tongue to keep from sharing gross facts about bugs and the diseases they spread at inopportune times. Even though much of the information is groww, I find myself laughing, too.
How to Write Successful Fundraising Appeals by Mal Warwick – This one is due back at the library today, and I think I'm going to hand it back in unread. My heart is with writing stories–both fiction and nonfiction–not in copywriting. If that opportunity presents itself, I know where I can get the book if I want to learn it later.
Coming up…
I am nearly finished with several books. I'm not sure what I what I will grab off the shelf next. I will choose another audio book from the ones I downloaded from Sync YA earlier this summer. I'm looking for something lighter after the intensity of Code Name Verity. I've also been picking up Khaled Hosseini's And the Mountains Echoed, so it may be next up, too.

I've currently gotten into feeding my dogs "real food"/"human food".
I have a friend who makes all her dog food, and I tried it and now I like mixing their food half kibble, and half veg/meat. I no longer buy treats, but use little bits of cooked liver and carrots.
It's a bit more work, and I don't do it every meal, but it does seem to make the dry food last a lot longer. Plus my dogs poop doesn't stink as much and their fur has never been so soft. It works for me; Plus I've never seen an animal so excited for meal time as mine, when they see me with their bowls on the counter haha.
I've been doing research on what is and isn't safe for dogs, but I'm trying to figure out how to portion it? Is half in half ok? Or should I beef up the "real" food portion? Their weight doesn't seem to be dropping or accumulating...so I'm assuming it good?
So far they have had: rice, bell peppers, carrots, broccoli stems, peas, liver, chicken and eggs. I have some whole frozen mackerel in the freezer, and once I cook it up I was planning on giving them each a head.
Suggestions, experience, advice and insight all welcome :)

My dogs also get regular food along with their kibble: apples, carrots, peas, bananas, cantelope, eggs, rice, any meat that is just meat. The both love fresh berries. They'll even eat celery on occassion. My rule is that the food has to have 1 ingredient and obviously not be on the "no" list (onions, garlic, grapes...).
It's funny because dogs and humans are both omnivores - we've just created "dog food" because it is convenient. I try to make it convenient for me to feed my dogs real food by just putting select leftovers from meals in the fridge and putting a bit in the dog's bowl for the next meal. Easy for me and exciting for them. I know people gasp at feeding "human food" to dogs but this is heathful food that would otherwise likely be thrown away and eventually the dogs quit acting like God herself has decended from the sky with tidbits so the "bad habits" issue is irrelevant once the awe wears off.
I would keep it at 1/2 and 1/2. Kibble is formulated to meet all of your dog's nutritional needs, while homecooked diets tend to have a lot of nutrients missing. By adding in the kibble you will hopefully help balance out the diet. A few food companies sell packets you can add to a home-cooked diet to make it balanced, but I'd have to do research to find the companies (if you search home made diet on here you will probably find where i''ve posted the link). I can't remember the company off-hand
I used to give my large breed dogs raw fish heads on a regular basis. I would not recommend cooked fish heads because the cooked bones can be a problem. True of other types of bones as well.
Even if they're been frozen it's still ok to thaw and give?
Yes, as it would still be raw. Dogs in the Arctic are fed frozen fish all the time. If you give it frozen, you have a fishsicle, may be nice in Summer :-)
If you are from the Pacific Northwest or your fish is sourced from the Northwest do not feed Salmonids (salmon, trout, etc) raw. It is common for them to carry a parasite that carries a bacteria (confusing I know) that can be quite deadly. Its called Salmon Poisoning Disease. If you do opt to fee raw salmonids make sure if your dog develops vomiting/diarrhea or any other symptoms to tell your vet ASAP and inform them that he has been eating raw fish. We actually see this disease quite commonly among raw feeders when they opt to feed fresh caught salmon here in Northern California.
Salmonids can be fed raw provided they are frozen for at least a month beforehand! Or so I hear.
The only thing I wonder about is that freezing will kill the parasite but will it kill the bacteria that is the actual cause of the disease? I have never really looked into it since #1 I don't feed raw fish and #2 there are so many other types fish out there that are safe to feed. It'd be interesting to know how hearty the bacteria is.
I'd stick with 1/2 and 1/2 keeping the meat proportion well with some veggies. We usually just feed dog food on most days but once in a while we'll make a "doggie salad" as we call it. Where we have some veggies with chicken or ham. Often when we have holidays like Thanksgiving we will scrap all the meat off bones and divide it equally to all 7 (yes we have 7!) dogs along with some of the sauce to give the dog food some flavor plus makes their coat nice as the oils in it set in a tad. They also seem to really like the fat off ham and what not, but make sure not to give them too much if you do! Also we have found to sometimes give them veggie treats where we take a veggie and cut out maybe the inside of something small and shove a little peice of meat in it or something. ;)
If you wanted to do more than half and half I would definitely consult with a canine nutritionist to make sure you are accomodating for all of their nutritional needs. Just watching their weight is not enough IMO.
One thing to keep in mind is that kibble is a dehydrated form of food, so very nutrient dense compared to canned dog food, or food from fresh ingredients, be it an especially made diet, or simply leftovers. When you consider doing 1/2 kibble 1/2 fresh, if you simply measure by quantity, you will shortchange the dog substantially, as fresh food is 80 to 90% water, so you need to give proportionately more. Adding a few appropriate leftovers for interest is not a problem and can actually be quite beneficial, in spite of what the dog food companies would like you to believe..
I wanted to mention that if you can't get the measurements correct, don't wing it. I remember reading that cats fed cooked meat exclusively died of heart failure because cooking killed the taurine that they needed. Kibble has the same problem but then they spray the nutrients back on...

While many country stars like Blake Shelton have been notorious for their Twitter addiction, Eric Church says social media is just not for him. "I don't tweet. I've never -- I don't even know how to log on my Facebook. I'm not even sure what the password is. I have no idea. I would never, and for me, it's the way I work."
Eric tells ABC New Radio he'd rather throw all his energy into his music. "We empty the tank on the road, and we empty the tank in the studio. It's just not something I've ever done. And I think the fans get it." And if you're wondering about the more mundane matters in Eric's life, he says you'll just have to go on wondering. He says, "If I start focusing on what I'm eating for lunch or what I think about TV shows or something, it just gets weird."

Diabetes mellitus, often simply referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).
The three main types of diabetes mellitus (DM) are:
Other forms of diabetes mellitus include congenital diabetes, which is due to genetic defects of insulin secretion, cystic fibrosis-related diabetes, steroid diabetes induced by high doses of glucocorticoids, and several forms of monogenic diabetes.
All forms of diabetes have been treatable since insulin became available in 1921, and type 2 diabetes may be controlled with medications. Both types 1 and 2 are chronic conditions that usually cannot be cured. Pancreas transplants have been tried with limited success in type 1 DM; gastric bypass surgery has been successful in many with morbid obesity and type 2 DM. Gestational diabetes usually resolves after delivery. Diabetes without proper treatments can cause many complications. Acute complications include hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, or nonketotic hyperosmolar coma. Serious long-term complications include cardiovascular disease, chronic renal failure, and diabetic retinopathy (retinal damage). Adequate treatment of diabetes is thus important, as well as blood pressure control and lifestyle factors such as smoking cessation and maintaining a healthy body weight.

Authorities are on the look-out for an East Texas man they say stabbed an acquaintance for failing to repay a $7 loan.
Late Monday night, Harrison County Deputies were dispatched to a residence in the 500 block of Restland Cemetery Road in Waskom in reference to a stabbing.
The victim, Jonas Stephens, told authorities he was stabbed by Jerry Harris in Harris' home.
Stephens says Harris was demanding of him repayment of $7 he had borrowed. The confrontation escalated into an argument and Stephens says Harris grabbed a knife and cut a 4 to 5 inch gash on his torso.
Stephens was taken to Good Shepherd Medical Center in Marshall with non-life threatening injuries. He was later released.
If you have any information on Jerry Harris' whereabouts, please contact the Harrison County Sheriff's office.

The rich Kentucky hunting and fishing heritage predates the times of Boone and Walker. Several Native American tribes benefited from Kentucky as a bountiful hunting ground. Fast forward a few hundred years and sportsmen in Kentucky have an abundance of game to hunt. A healthy whitetail deer herd that produces trophy bucks each and every year. A revitalized eastern wild turkey population gives turkey hunters in every county the possibility to harvest a bird. Many migratory birds pass through Kentucky along their annual journey through the continent.
A wealth of small game species can also be pursued throughout Kentucky. Now, the largest elk herd in the eastern United States is providing elk hunters with all new opportunities in eastern Kentucky. Over 80 Wildlife Management Areas are open to the public during Kentucky hunting seasons, as well as large portions of the Daniel Boone National Forest and Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. The Kentucky hunting and fishing scene makes for a true sportsmen's paradise. For more information, including Kentucky hunting seasons, licenses and permit details, visit the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.

SARANAC LAKE - Officials are calling the fire that destroyed an apartment building on Franklin Avenue suspicious.
The house at 55 Franklin Avenue was deemed a complete loss following an early morning fire Oct. 17. Essex County Emergency Services Director Don Jaquish told the Adirondack Daily Enterprise Oct. 21 the fire is being considered suspicious.
The Saranac Lake Village Police department is assisting the Essex County Fire Investigation Unit in the investigation.
It could be several weeks before officials establish what sparked the blaze. Jaquish told the Enterprise that investigators don't know yet where the fire started, and didn't say what prompted them to label the fire suspicious.
No one lived in the building at the time of the fire, although a former tenant - Christy LaVair - still had most of her belongings there. Steve Kirkpatrick owned the building, but it was in the process of foreclosure.

The Question0 Reviews
A very hard decision indeed
We didnt have to wait for too long. Korse reappeared within a day. He came with both Jets, who were standing side by side
They looked exactly the same. When they talked, they sounded the same aswell. The pair tried to convince us it was his own self.
"Times up" Korse interupted. We'd only had a minute to tell them apart. "Party Poison, discuss with your fellow killjoys and come and tell me which one you think is yours"
It was impossible to find out which was our Jet. We had to guess.
"The...left one" Party told the BL/ind boss.
Korse placed a gun on the left Jet's head. He left it there for a moment, then took it away. "Well done. You figured it out. Now Jet Star must make a decision...But I shall let you greet eachother first." He stood back, watching as we talked to eachother
"Okay! Enough!" Korse clapped his hands. We became silent. "Jet..." There was a long pause. "Excluding you, which killjoy do I kill?"

The controversial rezoning request in Lake Park has been denied. Lake Park City Council voted three to one in favor of denying the request at Tuesday night's council meeting.
Around 75 people packed into the council chambers and to the hallway outside the chambers, awaiting the council's decision.
Investors Management, Inc., headquartered in Valdosta, wanted Lake Park to rezone a roughly two acre piece of land near the post office so that they could build a low income senior citizen apartment complex there.
But many citizens had been vehemently against it ever since it was first proposed and were glad to here the council's decision on Tuesday night.
"It's democracy in action. This is for the people; the people have spoken," said Wilson Smith, a Lake Park resident, after the decision was handed down. "I believe that our word, the people's word, has been heard."
There is no word yet on whether Investors Management, Inc. will try to build in a different location in Lake Park.

Today has seen the release of three popular Playstation 2 titles from the Rockstar library.
Bully, Red Dead Revolver and Midnight Club 3 are all now available to download from Sony's online store, all priced at $9.99.
Although Midnight Club 3 isn't the greatest racing game in the world, Bully has been hailed as one of the best Rockstar games ever; while lots of people may be interested in seeing the game that was the precursor to the sublime Red Dead Redemption.

I've created this page as a way to introduce folks who are new to miles and points to the joys of collecting miles and points, and the cheap travel which is possible.
Emily and I pay a fraction of the retail cost to fly and stay in hotels. We do this by collecting miles and points. We participate in a number of promotions, but the main way we earn miles and points is by signing up for credit cards which offer large sign-up bonuses.
Collecting miles and points requires a bit of organization, but it is not rocket science (otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it!).
Step 1 – Sign-up for miles and points programs
Sign-up for a few hotel and airline loyalty programs. There are many programs to choose from, but I recommend signing-up for just a few programs initially. You can always sign-up for the rest later on.
Make sure to copy and paste your account number, username, and password into an Excel or Word document to help with Step 2.
Step 2 – Manage your miles online
I use AwardWallet.com to manage our miles. AwardWallet not only tracks Emily and my miles, but also our parents' mileage accounts. It is a free service, but with a small donation ($5 for 6 months) you get premium services such as alerts when your miles are expiring.
Simply sign-up for Awardwallet.com and enter in your username and passwords for your accounts from Step 1.
Step 3 – Credit card strategy & does applying for credit cards damage my credit score?
The easiest way to collect miles and points without flying is through credit-card mega bonuses (think 50,000 or more miles and points from just 1 credit card).
I earned over 1 million miles and points this year from credit card sign-up bonuses and my credit score is still over 700. Credit cards are the easiest way to earn miles and points. Your credit score does decrease each time you sign-up for a credit card, but the effect of that is small (less than 5 points), and over the medium to long term your credit score improves because of the increase in available credit.
If you are not taking out a big loan in the next 2 years (equity, house, student, etc.) than apply for credit cards and build up a hotel point and air mile balance. If you are applying for a big loan in the next 2 years, than I would recommend very few or no credit card applications so as to ensure that you're doing everything possible to get your loan.
According to MyFICO, applying for credit cards reduces your score usually by 3 to 5 points per application, but banks look at other factors such as how often you've applied for credit recently when they evaluate big loans. Much better in my opinion, to get that big loan first at the lowest possible interest rate, and then apply for credit cards.
If you do decide to apply for credit cards make sure to pay your bills off when they are due and to not pay interest. Paying interest on credit cards is a losing proposition – even if you manage to earn miles and points.
Even if you don't want to apply for credit cards, I recommend getting 2 of my favorite credit cards which give you a lot of flexibility. I do get a referral if you apply for these 2 cards, but Emily and I are very grateful for your support!
1) Chase Sapphire Preferred Visa – This is my favorite card and one of the very few cards which Emily pays an annual fee for. Basically, you earn a 40,000 point sign-up bonus after spending $3,000 within 3 months, and double points for dining and travel expenses. These points give you more flexibility since they can be transferred to different airline and hotel partners.
Here's a link to my review of the card.
2) American Express SPG card – Another of my favorite cards and for which I'd pay an annual fee. Here's a link to my review of the card.
Step 4 – Eat, Shop and earn miles
Put all your expenses on a credit card and sign-up for programs which give you miles for dining. Check EVReward for the best online mall to earn miles and points from.
To be continued…

EDIT: After reading up on it, it appears more likely that this little scooter belonged to the RN. It's predecessor however was extensively used by RAF pilots during the second world war.
It's in a museum and not for sale.
This might become easier if you search for its predecessor first. A British portable scooter that could be airdropped in a small container (the same containers that can be seen in a bridge too far). It was used by British airborne troops, commando's and RAF crews in WW II.
Is this a modern musket or a gun with some sort of strange feeding system?
The ejecting port like thing is behind and above the barrel-trigger assembly.
Or it's hidden on the other side?
Aure entuluva!
It's on the other side.
It can hold 2 magazines, but only feeds from 1.
So it seems like it's a bullpup rifle?
Bears some resemblance of Kintrek Model KBP-1.
Aure entuluva!
It is bullpup yes.

The Fair Labor Standards Act at 75: An Uncertain Future
The Fair Labor Standards Act at 75: An Uncertain Future
SEVENTY-FIVE years ago today, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Fair Labor Standards Act to give a policy backbone to his belief that goods that were not produced under "rudimentary standards of decency" should not be "allowed to pollute the channels of interstate trade." The act is the bedrock of modern employment law. It outlawed child labor, guaranteed a minimum wage, established the official length of the workweek at 40 hours, and required overtime pay for anything more. Capping the working week encouraged employers to hire more people rather than work the ones they had to exhaustion. Despite this noble history, today the act faces an uncertain future, thanks to a series of disconcerting shifts in the way we think about work in America.

Edifier E3350 Speaker Review
When it comes to computer speakers, a few names typically come to mind. The first ones, Creative and Logitech offer decent sound at a middle-range price. I have owned sets of both speakers, and they are, as I said, decent. On the high end, the first name that comes to mind is Bose – they offer an amazing sound for an unbelievably high price. Many sound enthusiasts know these brands and hardly ever look anywhere else.
When I received an offer to review the Edifier E3350 speakers, my first thought was – who the hell is Edifier? I took a look at the spec sheet that I was provided and was initially impressed with the unique look of the speakers, and also found it interesting that they won an award at CES this year, the CES Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Awards Honor. I decided to take them up on their review offer, and I was certainly intrigued by the results. These speakers offer a Bose-quality sound at a Creative and Logitech-level price. Yes – I did just compare these on the same level as Bose. Soon, you'll see why.
Speaker Specifications
The Edifier E3350 is a 2.1 speaker system with the following technical specs:
- Power Output: RMS 32W + 9W x 2 (THD=10%)
- Signal to Noise Ratio:>=85dBA
- Distortion:<=0.5% THD
- Input Impedance: 10K Ohm
- Input Sensitivity: Satellites—550+/-50mV; Subwoofer—200+/-50mV
- Frequency Response: R/L: 130Hz – 20kHz SW: 30Hz – 130Hz
- Bass Unit: 5 inch driver, magnetically shielded, 5Ohm
- Satellite Unit: 2.75 inch oval shaped driver,4 Ohm and 3/4 inch PV dome tweeter, magnetically shielded, 4Ohm
- Dimension: Subwoofer — 248 x199 x 294mm (W X H X D)
- Satellite — 96 x 234 x 118mm (W x H x D)
- Gross Weight: approximately 5 kg
- Power Input: 100V-240V wide range AC power adapter,18V
Initial Impressions and Tests
When I opened the box for the first time and was able to see the speakers, my first thought was, "These look pretty sweet." I hope by the picture below you can see what I am talking about. The design is definitely unique compared to the typical box-like speakers you will find from many companies – it is somewhat hard to describe exactly why these look cool, but they just do. There are no straight edges anywhere on the speakers or the subwoofer, which are all three shaped like pyramids, and they feature a slick-looking plastic top. The subwoofer is neat in that it fires downward instead of outward, allowing them to play with the design a bit.
My first instinct when it comes to testing speakers is to plug them in, turn the volume as high as it will go, and play the THX trailer on them. I have done this on several different speaker systems, including 5.1 speakers, so I am accustomed to how most systems sound. I played the trailer called "Cavalcade." I can not tell you how blown away (quite literally) I was by the beautiful quality of sound that blasted out of these little speakers. Not only was it extremely loud, but the pitches were produced perfectly, without the slightest hint of distortion or stress that you get from many speakers when cranked up all the way. These speakers are definitely impressive.
Sound Quality
For testing sound quality, I used several different types of music that would test the different sound ranges, from the very lowest to the very highest pitch possible. My first test was the THX trailer Cavalcade, but after that, I ran it through about everything on my playlist – including these specific songs:
Star Wars Episode II Soundtrack – Love Pledge, The Arena
John Williams
Overture to Candide
Leonard Bernstein
If Everyone Cared
Superman Kryptonite
3 Doors Down
I tried to play a little of everything so I could hear the speaker's response to a variety of tones and chords. Overture to Candide is probably the best all-purpose tester because it has everything from a very brassy low sound to an extremely high piccolo part. The balance of bass (which is adjustable) does not overpower the mid-range or high-range sound of the speakers – even when the subwoofer is turned all the way up.
Ratings (1 = lowest, 10 = highest)

To conclude this review, let me tell you something: if you are looking for speakers and have about $100 to spend, buy these speakers. I'm not getting paid to say that, nor was I asked to even give a positive review – these speakers just kick ass, period.

If you think these look unique, check out there E3300 speakers. I am surprised that such a design can produce such a vivid experience, and yet still cost hundreds less than that of true "high-end" equipment.
I am sure my next build will include a set of these impressive speakers.
Hi Ho April 8th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Nice review. Those are cool looking speakers. By the way, in the audio industry, Bose is most definetly NOT considered a high quality product. I'd be willing to bet that those Edifier speakers sound better than any Bose system simply based on the fact that it's a three way system (sub, mid, tweeter). Bose systems don't have tweeters.
Steve Wallach April 10th, 2008 at 10:51 am
I wouldn't use Bose speakers as the standard by which to compare. I have a set of Klipsch speakers (also with a downward firing sub-woofer) that sound much crisper and cleaner than anything Bose has to offer.
Don Gold April 10th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
I have only been involved with computers now for some 6-7 years and I do respect you for what you know about them and all their workings and that is why I read your PCMech Newsletter etc., etc. HOWEVER, when it comes to audio you have as much to learn as I do about puters. Bose is possibly the biggest sound hoax ever foistered on the audio public! Do some reading, go to an audio store, hear some live music (un-amplified)and get your ears educated. I could be more caustic,but you have struck a raw nerve with the "Bose Sound". I'll say this…..it is unique!

I plan to buy this stuff probably next with along with Samsung LCD 19′….
It seems this speaker system would satisfy my needs in music for single room…
thanks for the review, haven't heard the real sound on this but it seems a good sounds to hear and the design as well.
Tyler Thompson October 13th, 2008 at 11:34 am
You won't be disappointed. I've had them wired to my TV / Xbox / Computer ever since I did the review, and I absolutely love them. They really output like nothing I've ever used before.
shah May 26th, 2009 at 12:59 am
Another challenge for Boss computer speakers. Edifier did come out lots of model but this one really impress me. I trust your ear to give good comment on this speaker. I will try find one at my local dealaer. Cheers
Graham May 25th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Just picked them up. Very pleased. They are quite loud for their size and are made with quality. For price and quality I give them a 9.5/10. I want to encourage more hardware of this value to be made for this price.

89 Acres in two parcels! Excellent offering of acreage of 89.95 acres, more or less, including cropland, pasture and wooded areas. This acreage is naturally severed by an Augusta Township road (4th Concession), resulting in a northern parcel of approximately 47 acres and a southern parcel of approximately 42 acres. The northern parcel currently consists of hayfields and woodlands. The southern parcel contains active pasturelands, wooded areas, and remnants of an abandonned house and outbuildings. These two parcels present unique opportunities for an astute investor with entrepreneurial spirit. An interesting sidelight is the existence of a substantial portion of an older round, stone silo built around the turn of the 20th century. This property affords various possibilities including residential, agricultural, recreational and site specific developmental pursuits.

My favorite band
I'm still working in a studio in my mind, so "Abnormal (Ob)sessions" is still coming together.
New song I'm working on. First demo take on it, made with an iPhone
I just gotta tell you right now: You can't believe all my songs. At least not to me. I make songs, not testimonies.
I've mixed TWO! Yes, TWO! Not one, not two halves, not something else, but TWO FULL LENGTH ALBUMS today! My ears are SORE now! Not from the sound, but from the wearing of headphones to hear how every little detail sounds like. And one of the albums is even only covers, so I probably won't ever release it either. The other one on the other hand, doesn't have a single cover, so I can release it in the same manner I have done with "Sick Little Morning" and "Something Before Breakfast" (and I may just do that).
New EP out on Spotify now! Quite varied, just like "Sick Little Morning" is. "Oh Senorita Have A Banana" is one of the more…"special ones"
(Source: Spotify)
If there's anyone out there who's recording, what do you use to record?
Ain't she a beauty?
Dreamed I was on a Turbonegro concert and talking with Turbonegro backstage today, without realizing the two was connected before Hank went back on stage. He wondered if I had any Sex Pistols on my iPhone, and obviously, I do.

Actelion nominates two Board Directors with outstanding pharmaceutical industry, management and financial expertise for election at the Annual General Meeting of 05 May 2011
ALLSCHWIL/BASEL, SWITZERLAND - 06 April 2011 - Actelion Ltd (SIX: ATLN) today announced the nomination of Jean-Pierre Garnier and Robert Bertolini for election to the Company's Board of Directors at the 2011 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of shareholders, to be held on 05 May 2011. When elected, Jean-Pierre Garnier will become a Vice Chairman together with Joseph C. Scodari. As part of its succession planning, it is the intention of the Board that Jean-Pierre Garnier will be appointed Chairman following, as previously announced, the conclusion of Robert E. Cawthorn's term of office at the 2012 Annual General Meeting.
Robert Cawthorn, Chairman of the Board of Directors said: "We are delighted to nominate two truly outstanding industry executives to serve on our Board. The Nominating & Governance Committee and the entire Board are convinced that their combined experience as both seasoned non-executive directors and as executives of some of the world's leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies will contribute significantly towards our objective of delivering a strategy that maximizes value creation for our shareholders."
Robert Cawthorn added: "Dr. Garnier's distinguished career includes seven years as the first CEO of GlaxoSmithKline. Thanks to his judgment, charisma, experience and energy, he made the integration of GlaxoWellcome and SmithKline Beecham a true success, creating the world's second largest pharmaceutical group at the time. His operational and financial expertise is respected across the industry. Mr. Bertolini, the former CFO of Schering-Plough, is highly experienced in finance, corporate strategy and governance. He will bring invaluable perspective to Actelion, having served more than 20 years in senior management and board director roles at innovative pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies as well as at a Big Four accountancy firm."
Robert Cawthorn concluded: "We believe that both nominees are uniquely qualified to help Actelion realize the value inherent in its business as the Company advances its well-balanced, late-stage pipeline and enters the next phase of its development."
Carl Feldbaum, Chairman of the Board's Nominating & Governance Committee added: "These two nominations follow the recent strengthening of the Board by Joseph Scodari and Michael Jacobi as part of our on-going efforts to optimize the composition of the Board for Actelion's next phase of growth. The nomination of Dr. Garnier and Mr. Bertolini underscores the Board's emphasis on providing knowledgeable, independent and seasoned strategic guidance as Actelion continues to evolve."
Dr. Jean-Pierre Garnier, commenting on today's announcement said: "I am very pleased to have been nominated to join the Actelion Board. I'm very impressed with the Company's track record and where it stands today as Europe's largest biopharmaceutical company. I believe Actelion's track record in translating superior drug discovery into meaningful therapeutic solutions is very exciting. I look forward to contributing to guiding the company through the next phase of growth."
Robert Bertolini added: "I am excited to have the opportunity to join Actelion's Board. The Company has the world's leading PAH franchise and excellent development potential. I am confident that, with the addition of my own and Jean-Pierre's experience, the expanded Board has the skills and experience to shape the future of the Company."
The re-election of three Board members, whose terms of office are up for renewal at this year's AGM, together with this nomination of two Board members, - one replacing the seat left open by the departure of Dr. Elias Zerhouni, who left at the end of 2010 to focus on his new role at Sanofi-aventis - will bring the total number of Board members to 11, the maximum allowed according to Actelion's articles of association.
Actelion's upcoming AGM is an important event in shaping Actelion's future. The invitation with the agenda items and the Board's recommendations will be published no later than 20 days ahead of the event. The Company encourages all shareholders to register their shares no later than 28 April 2011 and to vote for Actelion's slate of experienced director nominees by attending the AGM on 05 May 2011 either in person or by casting their vote via the independent proxy card that will be distributed to shareholders in due course.
