I was excited by the list of ingredients but was disappointed by the pale bland sauce that was runny. Make sure you have a piece of basil in every bite to get that blast of flavor.
Chicken and Basil Stir-Fry
James Carrier
Thai basil adds an anise nuance, and cinnamon basil contributes notes of spice to this quick chicken stir-fry; however, other basil varieties work well too. Serve with hot cooked rice. Asian fish sauce is available in most supermarkets and in Asian grocery stores.

We normally like to make everything we use ourselves, but sometimes we find items from others that are so good that we end up using them all the time. Here are some of our favorite new finds from over the past year.
Snack Foods
From top to bottom:
- Crunchy Cookie Butter from Trader Joe's, a staple in PB&J's around here.
- Fluff It Up gourmet cotton candy. They have a TON of amazing flavors. My favorites in the package from them were butterscotch and jasmine.
- JJ's Sweets Cocomels - I quickly became addicted to these little salted coconut soft caramels, and then they started selling them in packs, like the one shown in the photo. DANGEROUS.
- Vranch from We Vegans. We got this at the Vegan Shop-Up in Brooklyn after tabling next to them for the entire day. It's the best vegan/dairy-free ranch I've ever had. (They also do a chipotle ranch!)
Kitchen Tools
From left to right:
- Honee, a bee-free alternative to honey. The best part about it is that it's made from just apples, lemon, sugar, and water. I love it on pancakes, in baked goods, and in hot drinks. Even if you're not vegan, it's a great new flavor to try out.
- Gir Spatulas sent us a few of these one-piece silicone spatulas, and all of us love how good they feel to use, even after hours of baking. They come in a ton of fun colors and are really easy to wash.
- Sommer from Hot Mama Sommer Salt sent us some spicy hand-ground salts straight from Hawaii and we're LOVING them. They add a hot kick to all of our stir-fries and we plan to use them in some chocolate caramel barks for the holidays. (Hey, they're doing a Kickstarter right now that ends on December 7th - get some for yourself before the project ends!)
- Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters - this is a more unique, special occasion kind of ingredient, but it's so good! The Fee Bros. are from Rochester, NY too, where we live :)
- All of us are obsessed with maple sugar. It's good sprinkled on baked goods, on the rim of a cocktail, in waffles, and much more. Just thinking about it makes me hungry~!
- The Rabbit Food Cookbook is THE most used cookbook in our house. The size of it and the binding make it super easy to use in a tight space, it's small-press printed, and it's got really simple, amazing recipes. Also, lots of cool illustrations, all black & white.
Bathroom Stuff
- I love clay and cold-pressed soaps. The Hive Botanicals soaps smell amazing, and are made with all the best ingredients. I got the poppyseed, patchouli, and wintermint. Trisha and I tabled at the same show this past month and I loved talking with her, she really knows what she's doing!
- MeowMeowTweet has super high-quality bath & body goods. I really loved the lavender deodorant cream. It works surprisingly well and smells so good! I also got a patchouli soy candle and it burns really cleanly.
- Okay, I know Lush is really well-known, and I own/use way too much of their stuff already, but I totally love their Mint Julips lip scrub. I use it every day to keep my lips from chapping, and it's also great to use before putting on lipstick.
Most of the ceramics & dishware we use is either secondhand or from the clearance shelves of neat shops, but we bought these from a couple of artists local to us!
- Katie Carey has great style and some wonderful ceramics in her shop. I couldn't resist getting this Fuck mug - it fits a huge amount of tea and is really sturdy. And it has a swear word on it.
- I'd been wanting a vegetabowl FOREVER and I finally got one this summer. It's my favorite dish in the house :)
Hope you enjoyed this lil list, and maybe added some of them to your own wish list. ;) We'll be back with recipe posts very soon - we have been looking for a proper studio/kitchen space, and finally found one! We're finishing up building furniture and installing appliances, and once we're done we'll be back in full force. Get ready!

A structure you wouldn't necessarily want to live in – everything a little too much on show – Linhares Dias House, Brasilia, Brazil is nonetheless an incredible, bold piece of design. DOMO Arquitetos take a leaf from the Brasilia Book of Modernist Design, creating a confident concrete structure based around a stacked box form. However, whilst the build appears to be a simple, uniform arrangement of rooms, the design is actually a lot more complex with all kinds of nooks, corners, walls, doorways and corridors dividing up the space. Take a look for yourself in our gallery.

this is great news for NYC
I know it's helped our restaurant in little old Bellevue, WA (John Howie Steak – http://www.johnhowiesteak.com). And we're a high end restaurant. It's interesting how these technologies even change small business – the guy on the corner's business – around in dramatic ways.
Great to hear for ReputationDefender!
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Winter storm cancels several college basketball games
Louisville, KY, United States (4E Sports) – Due to hazardous conditions brought by a winter storm in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region, the showdown between No. 13 Louisville and Temple and several other college basketball games have been postponed.
The cancellation was announced by the Cardinals on their official website, adding that the game has been rescheduled for Friday at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia. The time will be determined later today.
Also, the showdown between No. 23 SMU (19-5, 8-3 American) and Rutgers (10-14, 4-7) has been reset to Friday due to inclement weather in the Northeast.
The Larry Brown-coached Mustangs are ranked for the first time since SMU was No. 20 on March 12, 1985. SMU defeated Rutgers, 70-56, in the first meeting this season between the two squads on Jan. 21 in Dallas.
Other basketball games, including Charleston Southern at High Point, Bryant at Mount St. Mary's, Central Connecticut State at St. Francis, Wagner at Farleigh Dickinson, and Northern Kentucky at Kennesaw State, were also postponed.
Earlier, several games scheduled for Wednesday were also shelved, including Georgia Tech against Boston and No. 8 Duke and rival North Carolina.
The bad weather also delayed several of Friday's opening Division I college baseball games throughout the region.

Forget Ray the LB, I know that is hard to do. Forget all the accolades, highlights, and just plain amazing play. Remember Ray Lewis the man, the friend, confidant, and just ordinary human being. Thinking of Ray Lewis as an ordinary guy is one thing that people forget to do. He is the guy that lives next door, the guy who hates taking out the trash. The guy that loves watching his children play sports, and he is guy that you see running through the neighborhood early in the morning while you are drinking coffee.

You are ready to look at houses for sale in Brooklyn. What is the next step in the process? You might think visiting a few open houses might be on the agenda. Before you step into an open house, you need a buyer's agent at your side. Moreover, that buyer's agent needs to have a real estate agency that cares behind him or her. Why get an agent from a good agency? You might think any agent would work. However, an agent from a good agency makes all the difference. Here are a few reasons to consider.
First, a good real estate agency is not just a group of real estate agents sharing an office space. Literally, it is more than the sum of its parts. An agency brings together experienced agents as well as those just learning. Many times, you may see an experienced agent with a new agent shadowing for training and experience. That shows that the office takes all their customers seriously. When looking for houses for sale in Brooklyn, you want an agency that wants each customer to feel special. The agency should customize their services to each customer.
The second reason a real estate agency is so important is the synergy it can bring to your house hunt. When you have an agent trying to do everything without backup, you are not getting the best customer service you should expect. With a dynamic, professional agency, you will have agents that can help your personal agent find the perfect place for you to buy. One agent might have the perfect property for another agent's buyer. On the other hand, they might have taken another buyer to a good property that would be a perfect fit. That kind of dynamic office is a positive when looking for houses for sale in Brooklyn.
You can find many reasons to select an agent from a good agency. We, here at Massada Home Sales, want to make your search for houses for sale in Brooklyn the best it can be. That is why we bring in only the best agents. We back our agents with all the tools they need to make each customer's experience personal and comfortable. Integrity, professionalism, and quality are the cornerstones to our agency's business philosophy. Your house buying or house selling experience should be one you remember with pleasure. We want to be your agency of choice.
Massada Home Sales is a professional real estate company located in Brooklyn NY. For the past three decades, Massada has been helping new home owners find their Brooklyn house they were looking for. Specializing in 1-3 family houses of all types, Massada constantly maintains a large listing inventory of available Brooklyn houses for sale. Moreover, Massada has exclusive Brooklyn listings available to be shown at any time. Massada Home Sales is a member in the Multiple Listing service.

Beefeater Gin launches Super Premium Beefeater 24 in true London style
London, October 31, 2008 /PRNewswire/ — Beefeater Gin unveiled its new Super Premium gin Beefeater 24 in London last night at a glittering international launch event at Syon House, home of the Duke of Northumberland.
Over 400 international VIPs, celebrities, and media gathered to pay homage to the bold new London gin at an extravagant modern interpretation of London's 19th century 'Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens'.
With delectable gin cocktails and extravagant performances produced by feted festival organisers Lost Vagueness. The decadent costumed ball recalled the days when London society would gather to eat, drink and be entertained in the spectacular surroundings of Vauxhall's Spring Gardens – just yards from where the Beefeater distillery stands today.
Beefeater 24 is the result of almost two years of experimentation from Desmond Payne, the world's most experienced Gin Master Distiller. It is distilled in the heart of London and made from 12 hand-selected botanicals with a unique blend of rare teas at its heart.
Speaking at the launch last night, Desmond Payne's enthusiasm for his new creation was infectious: "Experimenting with new botanicals such as Japanese Sencha, Chinese teas and grapefruit peel has been very rewarding. The final result is a new London Gin that pays homage to its home city".
Among the celebrity guests were internationally acclaimed fashion and interiors' designer Jade Jagger, pop star Lily Allen, and actors Alfie Allen and Jaime Winstone. Together with Fashion House PPQ Amy Molyneux and Percy Parker, came members of the Horrors and musician Natt Weller.
Jade Jagger said: "The night has been like going back in time. The scenery and location are beautiful and the drinks are great especially the one in the teacup".
Lily Allen said: "It's very burlesque – a great party!"
Guests were entertained by hot new act, Iglu & Hartley. As night drew to a close, a stunning firework display illuminated the crowd with an aerial choreography of the numbers 2 and 4 – and a new 21st century style icon was born.

There is no greater reason to diet than for your personal health and well being. Those of us who are overweight know better than most the risks and possible consequences that may result because of our weight.
To visit the official fat loss website click here
The risks do not always seem quite so cut and dry until we reach our very own turning point. Whether your eating habits are born of an addiction to certain foods, an emotional need, or years of just over eating things will not change until you completely adjust your eating habits and your lifestyle choices and find a weight lose program that you will stick to.
Dieting for many has become a lifestyle in and of itself with people rapidly flip-flopping or yo-yoing from one diet to another with little success and growing despair over a sheer lack of results and not understanding calories in and calories out.
The truth is that until you decide to forgive yourself for your failures and get right back on the wagon, so to speak, after falling off no diet is going to be successful, and there are a few things you will need to understand before you can slim down.
A simple diet isn't going to magically make the pounds disappear and constantly depriving yourself of those things you enjoy most may have a more detrimental effect than a positive effect and not be healthy.
The number one thing most people need to learn is that dieting isn't always a good thing. What most people who are overweight need more than anything else is to incorporate positive lifestyle changes into their daily routines.
People scoff at the notion of taking the stairs or parking farther away and yet those are perfectly plausible methods of working a little more physical activity into your day and believe me it can help.
If those do not work for you how about learning to dance? Seriously, there are beginner dance classes in most communities that will welcome and invite dancers of all ages, sizes, and fitness levels if you are willing to make the effort. What a great way to get fit, learn something new, and have fun without filling deprived and this would be an excellent exercises for thighs.
To visit the official fat loss website click here
Another great thing about an activity such as a dance class (consider ballroom dancing with your significant other) is that you are not eating or tempted to eat during the time that you are dancing.
Another great thing is that you are burning those calories your not eating If dancing isn't you thing, try joining a walking club or finding another hobby.
Anything that gets you on your feet and away from the temptation of your refrigerator is a good thing when it comes to dieting and weight loss. You cannot lose a significant amount of weight by dieting alone you have to expel more calories then you are taking in if you want to slim down.
You must incorporate physical fitness into your daily routine in order to achieve those immediate and visually stunning results that many dieters are hoping to achieve.
Another pitfall when it comes to dieting is that people give up far too quickly. Just as the results are beginning and progressing people get tired of the slow process or frustrated that they aren't accomplishing enough dramatic weight loss as quickly as they had hoped.
An they give up all together marking off yet another failure when they could have achieved greater success than ever before if they had stuck with their original diet plan a little longer.
One more thing you should remember when it comes to dieting is that the scale can be your best friend or your worst enemy when dieting.If you are weighing yourself every day in hopes of watching the scale tick off yet another pound you are dooming yourself to failure.
You will never achieve the results you are hoping for you if you are going into depressive bouts of Rocky Road or Chunky Monkey every night because you didn't lose 10 pounds overnight.
When it comes to dieting there are very few diets that work. There are however, many lifestyle changes that when practiced consistently and aggressively will work. The thing to remember is that you are the one who must work because it is quite unlikely that any diet alone will.

Artificial Intelligence: Two robots battle to be "First Absolute World Chess Blitz Champion"
On May 19th in a park in Moscow the battle for the Absolute World Robot Chess Champion title was on between ChessKA (also called the Chess Terminator) and the robot KUKA Monster. CHESSka, the first chess robot defeating grandmasters in the quick chess game, was created by Russian trainer and and inventor, Konstantin Kosteniuk. It beat the German-built KUKA Monster.
Organizers plan to hold such events every year, creating the major league of chess-playing robots (ChessRoboLiga-1) for Industrial Robotics, similar to Formula 1 for the automakers.

The senior running back said the Aggies are focused to take on the Rainbow Warriors on Saturday, and aren't drifting ahead in the schedule. Utah State's running backs will likely be a big factor in the game, coming off a season best performance against New Mexico.
DeMartino talks about the rushing attack, taking on more responsibility and more in this video from Tuesday's practice.

Electronic Deals to Watch for this Black Friday
It's that special time of the year when prices drop on all sorts of electronic gadgets and bargain hunters become feverish from smelling the scent of price-reduced deals in the air. Yes. It's Black Friday.
Manufacturers and retailers alike intent on driving sales, sales and more sales in their products are keen to push the limits on the lowest they can go on TVs, computers, laptops, phones and other electronics at the start of the holiday season. Black Friday is the time to loosen the grip you've had on your much-earned dollars to get the best bargains you've never dreamed of.
But hunting for the best bargains isn't easy, especially when everyone is dropping their prices left and right. How will you know which deal is the better than the rest? If you don't have the time to scour the net for upcoming prices or visit each store for their price drops, your best bet is to get the advice of people who will do this for you, e.g. us. Here are the best deals we can find on TVs, laptops and gaming consoles this Black Friday.
Samsung U55D6000 LED HDTV - $1099.99 at Sears
The Samsung D6000 is a 55-inch HDTV that has LED backlighting, Clear Motion 240 and Samsung full Smart TV suite. This means you get free access to YouTube and Netflix and more. Normally priced at $1500, the savings you get from this monster HDTV is one of the best this Black Friday.
Sharp LC-42SV49U 1080p TV - $199 at Best Buy
A year ago, a TV deal with similar specs as this Sharp offer would've been an immense bargain even at twice the price it's on now. It's the best deal available if you want the 1080p experience at the comfort of your own living room, at the cheapest price possible. With a 42-inch screen, slim 3.5 thickness, and 4 HDMI inputs, you really can't go wrong with the most affordable 1080p TV that Sharp has.
Toshiba Core i3 Laptop - $399.99 at Office Depot
For a laptop that has enough power for budget-saving gamers, this Toshiba Core i3 promises integrated graphics that can pull its weight in making those eye-candy heavy games come to life. With the second generation Core i3, you get better battery life along with cheap but fast processing power. A 15.6 inch display, 500GB hard drive storage space, and 6GB RAM round out the specs of this really great buy.
Lenovo AMD Dual Core Laptop - $179.99 at Best Buy
This bargain laptop is the best to get if you're looking the save the most on getting a new portable computer. You get a 15.6 inch display, 2 GB of RAM and a 250 GB hard disk space. While that could be just the bare minimums in laptops today, but this Black Friday deal puts it well ahead of other laptops in this price range.
PS3 - $199.96 at Wal-Mart, Sears and Target
While this PS3 is the best offer at just a $50 savings, it's tacked on with a bunch of free stuff that really make it a worthy gaming console purchase for the holidays. You get: Ratchet and Clank All 4 One, LittleBigPlanet 2 SE, and a free 30-day PlaystationPlus Membership. Enjoy the power-packed gaming only the most powerful gaming console today can offer.
XBOX 360 4GB - $139.99 at Target
This might be the lowest the XBOX 360 will ever go for. Though it's a bit old by now in terms of gaming age, you still get awesome games along with a device that gets you access to Netflix, Hulu Plus along with other downloadables you get from the net. Watch out for other $150 to $200 deals in other stores that come with a free game.

OD, your post is absurd. Almost nobody can tell you how a TV really works, much less make one. But they have no trouble choosing good TVs in a society with specialization of labor. Likewise, the market, with mostly 8th grade educations, will have no trouble sorting out which airplanes to buy and ride, even if very few people know how to build a safe airplane. BTW, we currently have precious few people with more than an 8th grade education, despite all the diplomas and degrees many of them hold. So, your point makes no sense anyway. Where the market is free, the product is good. Where the market is manipulated, the product is bad and the cost is high. (And THAT sounds like the public schools again...)

One Thing to Another2 Reviews
A one-shot ficlet (featuring implied Harry-n-Hermione) set during their first year at Hogwarts, in which Hermione learns some truths about transfiguration.
All devoted parents of children who go away to school have that urge to slip reminders of home into the child's luggage, and the urge strengthens in direct proportion to the distance of 'away.' Hermione Granger, who was, in a way, leaving behind her parents' entire world, found the first of the two parental mementoes while she was still on the Hogwarts Express.
She hadn't known a thing about Hogwarts or the wizarding world before the day the latter arrived, but she'd set to work remedying her ignorance immediately, reading every wizard text she could lay her hands on. Sometimes, when she wasn't buried in a book, her nervousness would surface. There was an awful lot to learn, but that had never bothered her before. The frightening part was that, in learning it, she felt as though she were shattering her old world to step into a new one. She saw it in her parents' faces: behind the pride and delight, there was an unvoiced sadness. She read out loud sometimes, trying frantically to drag them with her, via the printed pages, into this exciting new world of spells and magic, but she knew that at the start of the school year she'd be crossing a border, and her family would be unable to follow her there. Sure, they could visit, but...it would never be the same. She would never be the same. She was being remade.
Still, this new world was so enticing, so utterly absorbing, that she looked forward with guilt-tinged enthusiasm to the day she could leave what she now knew was the 'muggle world' behind. She was leaving it behind in spectacular style-the first-ever witch in her family, and she'd been admitted to the very best school of witchcraft-and she was determined to live up to that. She'd been studying at home since the day her books arrived, practicing simple spells just to be sure that there hadn't been some mistake, and that she really could do magic. She didn't dare try anything too complicated until she'd had some proper instruction, but she was dying to learn transfiguration. Turning one thing into another: that sounded like real magic. She hoped she'd do well at it. She was hoping to fit in. Sometimes she worried; she'd never been skilled at making friends. What if no one at Hogwarts liked her? But she reassured herself by reasoning that her previous lack of social success had probably been because she really was different: she was real witch, not a muggle at all. She'd do better among people more like herself, right?
To that end, she changed into her robes as soon as she was settled on the train. No one else did, she saw, except for a couple of prefects, but her robes were the first real wizard clothes she'd ever owned, and she couldn't get them on fast enough. When she pulled them out of her trunk the first item her parents had tucked in fell out. It was a small glass unicorn, wrapped in a note from her mother, and the horn broke off when it hit the floor of the compartment. Hermione felt more annoyance than sadness-how could she have known to be careful, when her mother hadn't told her it was there? -and she stuffed the pieces hurriedly out of sight among her clothes. She hoped no one had seen it, and she felt still more embarrassed when she read her mother's well-meaning note. "You always loved this," her mother had written, "so I know you'd hate to leave him behind." Hermione shoved the note into her luggage. She'd loved it when she was a child, yes, but that had been when she'd believed silly, girlish things about magic. Now that she had the chance to study wizardry, it was embarrassing to be reminded of such childish ideas. She was too preoccupied to notice the other students' reactions to her robes, or to reflect that a reputation for keenness wasn't the surest way to make friends at school.
She'd heard of Harry Potter before she ever met him, because he was in the books. Somehow, that had led her to expect him to be more manageable than other people: after all, he was safely written down. She also felt a certain fellow feeling for him the moment she realized he knew nothing about his famous past; he must be having to learn and adapt as fast as she was. Without making a production of it, she decided to be as useful to him as she could, dropping hints and reminding him of rules. She was surprised, and a little hurt, that he didn't see the good intentions behind her well-meant nagging. It was bewildering, too, that he didn't listen to her: didn't change into his robes quickly, didn't study enough, didn't obey the rules. He was another outsider: why didn't he care about doing well and blending in? She didn't believe for a moment that his fame had spoiled him. She could tell he wasn't like that at all. With a growing sense of failure, she began to understand the truth as the term wore on: she was trying her very hardest to succeed, but none of the other students particularly liked her for it.
It was that boy, Ron, who put it into words, so bluntly and accurately that she burst into tears. "It's no wonder no one can stand her," he'd said, right in front of Harry, and alone in the toilets she sobbed over the injustice of it. She'd tried to help them. Why couldn't they see that? Hermione wasn't prone to melodrama, but right then it felt as though her heart would break under this rejection of her friendship.
But they must have known, on some level, that she'd tried to be their friend, because they came rushing in to help her when the troll had her cornered. And, groping for some way to say without saying that she liked them for themselves, for the first time ever Hermione lied to a professor, tacitly signalling her approval for Ron and Harry's more casual attitude towards the rules.
From that day, it was different. She had friends, two of the best friends she could have imagined-no, better than she could have imagined, because her imagination had painted a more cautious, careful Harry, and the brave but reckless real Harry was, she reluctantly admitted to herself, an improvement. An unspoken balance had been reached: she continued to remind them of the importance of rules and homework, and they continued to include her in adventures. She helped them, and she was smart enough to see that they were helping her too. Not just in the obvious ways, like when she took on an extra-credit project for herbology, and sent them scouring the grounds for leaves-Harry uncovered an unusually beautiful fern, and Ron brought her ivy leaves from higher up the wall than she liked to think about-but in the way they pushed her to do things she wouldn't have dared alone.
It was when they were studying for exams that she found the second gift her parents had concealed in her luggage. Ron hadn't turned up yet, and Hermione, hurrying to join Harry in the library, had grabbed her stash of extra extra quills from the bottom of her trunk. When she laid the pile down on the table she saw the little tube of all-purpose extra-strength glue, with the note from her father still folded around it. "I know my very bright, very practical daughter will find a use for this," the note said," and I bet even wizards might find it useful." For a moment Hermione sat holding the tube of glue, lost in thought. The gifts had a synchronicity, a kind of mute message; they just went together, exactly the way her parents fitted together, with no fuss or fanfare. She felt as if she were on the edge of an important insight, but it slipped away when Harry's voice broke into her thoughts.
"That stuff's dead useful," he said, nodding at the glue, and grinned conspiratorially. "There are some muggle things that just can't be improved on."
"No," she said distractedly, and then, "I mean, yes. Would you excuse me, Harry? I just remembered, there's something I need to do."
A few minutes later, sitting cross-legged on her bed, she eyed her handiwork critically, but the result was almost flawless. The horn fit back into place perfectly, with only a tiny crack marring the unicorn's forehead to show it had ever been damaged. She set the unicorn and the tube of glue on her nightstand with a little burst of pride and homesickness and love, and knew that the real secret of transfiguration is understanding how to make use of pre-existing characteristics, so that you don't discard anything you need to hang on to.

There is a change in our policy this semester.
***PLEASE NOTE***The students will have until the end of the third day of the term to return books for full refund, provided they have the receipt and the book is in the condition in which it was purchased.
The staff members of the R-MC Campus Store are always eager to supply the needs of students of the Randolph-Macon College and to support the mission of the College.
Online ordering begins before all textbooks have arrived in the store, so we cannot guarantee that the book orders will be ready until the semester starts. Processing of online textbook orders can take up to 72 hours when the textbooks are in the store.
We are very excited about our new online textbook ordering capabilities and the many possibilities that will be right at your fingertips. As you will see when you start working your way through our site, we provide information and pricing from other well-known sites so that you can make an informed decision when buying or renting your textbooks. We would love for you to buy your books from the R-MC Campus Store, but sometimes we can't compete with other online pricing. Please keep in mind that, should you choose to deal with another source listed on our site, you will be ordering from another company and the R-MC Campus Store will have no responsibilities associated with that transaction. Also, any books ordered from another source listed on our site will not be delivered to the Campus Store, but directly to you at the address you provided. We hope that you, our customers will appreciate the information provided, and the many options available and will continue to come back to our site as a "one-stop shopping experience".
In order to be granted a full refund, students who are returning textbooks must meet the deadlines described in the previous paragraph and MUST HAVE ALL CASH REGISTER RECEIPTS.
New textbooks must be in mint condition. New textbooks with markings of any sort (even pencil) and/or damaged or bent covers or pages cannot be returned. Shrink-wrapped or boxed textbooks must be unopened and still in the original wrapping. Textbooks with software are not returnable once the software seal has been broken.
Outlines, reference books, study guides and general books are not returnable.
Textbooks purchased online are still subject to our Textbook Return Policy. Please remember that, should you purchase textbooks online after the first three days of class in a semester, ALL SALES ARE FINAL! If you purchase books online during the first three days of class, the books will still have to be returned by the end of the third day of class in the semester. All returns require that a new book be in new condition, with no marks or damage and in the shrink-wrap with all components (if applicable) and YOU MUST HAVE YOUR RECEIPT!
The Randolph-Macon Campus Store strives to provide as many used books each semester as possible. In order to maximize the number of used books available each semester, we encourage faculty to submit their textbook orders early so we can purchase from students during Buyback. Whenever a textbook is going into a new edition, we contact the faculty member who has been using it and give him/her the option to use the new edition or stay with the older one. If the professor decides the differences between old and new editions are not significant enough to change the textbook order, the older edition will be used for your class.
Why aren't all books available used?
If the book is a new edition, there are no used books available. Also, if it is an obscure or specialized book with little national demand, few wholesalers will stock it.
My book is in a set with an online component but you don't offer it used? Why not?
Either the set is a new edition, or the online component was so expensive separately that we could not purchase the used book cheaply enough to keep the combined price below the set price.
Can I return a used book if I drop the class?
Yes, you can return used books in adherence with our textbook return policy.
On the shelf there are hardback and paperback used copies of the same book. Is the hardback more expensive?
No, once the book is available in paperback, all used copies are the same price as used paperback copies.
Aside from the condition, are used books identical to the new books?
Yes, the edition of the book is the same, and the pagination is consistent with that of a new book.
Can I highlight in my book and still sell it back?
Yes, although on occasion the value at Buyback of some books may be affected by their condition.
To receive a full refund, rental textbooks must be returned by the end of the THIRD DAY of the term. If a student drops a class, he/she has until the final day of the drop period to return the book(s).
After using the rental books for the semester, the rental textbooks MUST be returned in resalable condition (with all components) by the last day of finals for the current term. There will be a station setup at the Textbook Buyback table during finals week specifically for returning rental books. Should you need/want to return rental textbooks at any other time during the semester, see the Textbook Manager. If books are not returned by the due date, the Renter will be charged a Rental Replacement fee (the new retail price of the books minus the amount that was paid to rent the books) and student records will be put on hold.
The Randolph-Macon Campus Store is offering rentals in the store for the first time in Fall 2013. We are starting with only 10 titles offered this semester, but we do offer comparison shopping on the website (including rental sites) and plan to grow the titles offered in the store next semester. Writing and highlighting are allowed. Student must return the book, with all components (i.e. cds) by the specified return date. If not returned by the due date, his/her RMC Student Account will be billed a Rental Replacement Fee (new retail minus rental price). Two reminder emails will be sent to return their rental books and, if the due date is missed, then one email for the Rental Replacement Fee.
Should I rent or buy?
Typically, renting is the least expensive option. You always have the option to buy the book outright before the semester is over, by paying the difference between the retail price and the rental price. Purchasing a book is more expensive but you can always sell your book at Buyback. We offer up to 50% of the new retail price for books we know will be used again. All other books are purchased by the wholesaler and may be worth much less.
Do I need a credit card to rent a book?
If renting online you will need a credit card or gift certificate. For the Fall 2013 semester, we will not have online rentals to be picked up in the store. If you come in the store to rent your books, you will be able to use any method to pay for the initial rental. However, should you not return the books, your RMC Student account will be charged.
What if my rental book is lost or stolen?
You will be responsible for paying for the textbook. The amount would be the difference between the new retail price and the rental price.
I rented a used book. Why do I have to pay the difference from the new retail price?
This is the replacement cost of the book. We have to replace that book that was not returned and we cannot guarantee that used copies are available.
I sold my rental back at Buyback. What do I do?
See if you can get the book back from the place you sold it. If not, you will be responsible for paying for the text. The amount would be the difference between the new retail price and the rental price.
Can my roommate/friend return my book for me?
Yes, if you trust the person to do so. The RMC Campus Store is not responsible if rentals are not returned on time. If the book is not returned on time, you are responsible for paying the fee.
I left for home and forgot to return my rental. Can I do it when I get back for the next semester/term?
No, you are responsible for returning the rental by the specified date.

Storrs - At the end of practice Saturday, Shabazz Napier called out to Kevin Ollie as the UConn head coach walked off the Gampel Pavilion court.
Napier wanted to show off his dunking skills. Taking off from the baseline, the point guard tossed up the basketball, grabbed it after one bounce and attempted a dunk.
He failed badly.
"That's really good, Shabazz," Ollie said.
The remark drew laughter from the remaining players.
It was one of the few light moments at practice on Saturday. The Huskies have been working hard during the lengthy layoff since losing at Pittsburgh on Jan. 19.
Practice ended Saturday with a spirited box-out drill.
"They're energized," Ollie said. "We had some great practices over this week layover and, hopefully, it transfers."
UConn begins a telling stretch of Big East games today, hosting Rutgers (12-6, 3-4) at the XL Center in Hartford (2 p.m., SNY). Four of their next five games are against teams with losing league records, giving the Huskies (12-5, 2-3) a chance to climb in the standings.
For the first time this season, UConn is dealing with a two-game losing streak. It's hardly panic time, but the Huskies want to prevent a minor slide from becoming an avalanche.
"We've got a good team in Rutgers coming, and we don't want to lose that game," Napier said. "We want to get back on track. � This is the second half of the season, so you want to go out there and give it your all. Hopefully, we'll come out to play tomorrow and give fans a good show."
The break between games allowed Napier's sore left shoulder to heal a bit. After the injury hampered him against Pittsburgh, he took most of the week off before returning to practice on Friday. He only sat out the box-out drill Saturday.
Napier says he's a little better but still experiencing pain.
"It still hurts, especially when I'm sleeping," Napier said. "When I wake up in the morning, it hurts a lot. But (team trainer) James (Doran) is doing a great job getting me going."
Once Napier warms up, he says he feels good. He was told it would take two weeks from the time of the injury, which occurred Jan. 14 against Louisville, for the pain to subside.
"It is frustrating," Napier said. "It's teaching me to be patient, understanding that my health is important and making sure I'm ready to play 100 percent."
UConn will continue to take a cautious approach with Napier, following Doran's advice in regards to the junior's playing status.
The Huskies have other issues. They've yet to find a reliable third scorer and their rebounding woes are dragging them down.
Rutgers has hit a rut, losing three of its last four games. The Scarlet Knights run a three-guard attack and frustrate foes with a match-up zone. Sophomores Myles Mack (13.2) and Eli Carter (15.6) are the only players averaging in double figures.
"They have some outstanding guards," Ollie said. "They start a three-guard lineup, the same how we start. They have some good bigs. We're going to have our work cut out for us, just like every Big East matchup."
Rutgers coach Mike Rice has been impressed with UConn's effort playing in the face of a postseason ban.
"I think it would be difficult, especially with everything that coach (Jim) Calhoun and program that he has built and what their standards are," Rice said. "Kevin is doing a tremendous job, putting his guys in the best positions and how hard they are playing.
"� You can't tell watching them on film. They're really playing hard and with passion and playing well together."

The couple's name is also started by letter "T"-Thuy and Tam.Thuy is the husband and Tam is the wife.As they said: before 90s they were in Gia Lai (Gia Lai is a province in the Central Highlands of Vietnam).At that period,Thuy was a police but a few years later,he had some troubles about political and he decided to retire.In 2000,they moved to this area and they have been living here for 14 years.
They said to me that they wanted to have a peaceful life and that was the reason why they're here.
In this series of photos,I wanted to capture the peace and the happiness of their life.They found a peaceful place where they could do things together,took care for each other and the most important thing was they were enjoying their own life.
The couple that I've met in Nam Dinh Province.
Thuy-54 years old-the husband.He used to be a police in Gia Lai Province.
Tam-46 years old-the wife.She moved here with Thuy to start a new life.
The way to their place.It is not easy to go by when it rains.
From behind their home.The home is surrounded by soil.
Drainage between ponds.
Tam is catching trapped fishes at drainage.
Fishes and shrimps are the main aliment.
They use furnace and burn firewood for protecting their home from insect.
The altar is in corner of home.
In the morning,they always get up early at 5:00 and Tam is the one who always prepares breakfast.
Thuy is brushing his teeth next to the pond.
They utilize water pond for cleaning dishes and other things.
Thuy is preparing wood panels to lock the door of drainage.
This mate is very kind and friendly so their neighbour sometimes come over their home for visiting,chatting or smoking some cigarettes.
Thuy and Tam also nourish dogs for selling and protecting their home.They said to me that they could get about 40 millions VNĐ from selling dogs.
A corner in their home.This corner is utilized for cooking.

My My, Hey Hei
May 23rd, 2012 at 11:47 am by Dr. Drang
I held off on updating my iMac to 10.7.4 until yesterday. It went smoothly, except for one very weird change to my Terminal settings. The same thing happened in Terminal on my MacBook Air when I upgraded it a week or so ago.
The first time I launched Terminal after the update, this is what it looked like:
The font has changed from DejaVu Sans Mono to Hei, a Chinese font that's r e a l l y w i d e (to accommodate wide glyphs, I assume). Luckily, a quick visit to the Preferences changed it back.
Why did the update do this? I have no idea. Maybe there's a conflict with some internal ID value, maybe Apple, keeping track of my age, thinks my vision is even worse than it is. Whatever the reason, I thought it odd that it happened to both my computers, but I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem.

Carl Johan Berglund says:
I experienced the same thing. I restarted Terminal, and all was back to normal. Strange.
I'm more annoyed by Terminal's habit of keeping a ghost view of my bash history in all open terminal windows, but not actually restoring my history in more than one of them, though.
Matt says:
Yep, it happened here too.
Ryan Irelan says:
Disappointed you didn't close the post with a YouTube video of Neil Young.
So, I'll do it for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY5x8pF512k

The Honda XLV750 R was the first Japanese made monster trail bike to go head to head with the R80GS from BMW. Both bikes were twin cylinder machines and both had shaft drive. Unfortunately the XLV was too top heavy for even gentle off-road riding and also suffered major gearbox faults. The model was discontinued in 1983. Style is pure ...
625cc, 54bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 11
If you're used to smooth riding, civilized singles like BMW's F650 range then KTM's 640 Adventure will come as something of a shock. It's very vibey, absurdly tall, not that comfortable and pre-2004 models suffer from patchy engine reliability. Having said that in the muddy side of its dual-purpose role it's untouchable for handling, presence and rugged toughness.
996cc, 98bhp, 135mph, Insurance group 13
When you're looking for a big trailie-type the Kawasaki KLV1000 could be the answer you were looking for.
904cc, 70bhp, 117mph, Insurance group 12
Cagiva's Gran Canyon is a great motorcycle to ride, with nimble handling, lazy, easy-to-love power and plenty of tuning potential. Sadly, though, it's let down by crummy component quality and ridiculous servicing costs. It shines around town or on A-roads, but it's a less assured performer on longer, faster routes.
904cc, 68bhp, 128mph, Insurance group 11
On face value the Cagiva Elefant was born of an unlikely marriage, but the reality of mating up the (then Cagiva owned) Ducati V-twin with a monster trailie, desert racer type chassis proved something of a masterstroke let down only by poor build quality. The big Elefant (a 750 was also produced) was lively, handled fairly well and was even ...
