text: Taking inspiration from the Quattro Concept that was unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the new Audi Sport Quattro Concept looks more production ready, which debuted at this week's Frankfurt Motor Show. Also taking cues from Audi's 1980 Ur-Quattro, this concept sports muscular styling and can push out 700 hp and 590 pound-feet of torque from its plug-in hybrid powertrain, versus the Quattro Concept's more historically appropriate 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbo with 408 hp and 354 lb-ft. Powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 plus an electric motor the Sport Quattro Concept can go from 0-62 mph in just 3.7 seconds before topping out at 190 mph, getting 94 mpg. There are rumors that Audi will make a limited-edition version of the couple, but nothing has been officially released. But if a model is offered, expect it to be more than Audi's R8 super car.

That sounds pretty cool for the interior photographer type - Steve Kershaw may be interested in that, he strobes living rooms (see the off camera flash thread) so if you've got limited flashes you could just move them around bit by bit and get the coverage you need.
If anyone's got the time, inclination and relevent product keys, it'd be good to see a HDR scene done in each of the above programs and see what differences you get - get an idea of speed of use, ease of use, whether the results look like toytown or the real thing AND how easy it is to get something looking real... e.g. "Details Enhancer" in photomatix is a pig get a decent result with, "Tone Compressor" is a lot easier and "Exposure Fusion" is very easy.
Not seen it before, but I can see it being really useful for interior architectural shots, or complex light painting projects
also, if you needed lots of light for something like a car photo, you could bung your flashes togehter to get a stop more light, then move them around the car, taking more shots as you go - then use relight to get full coverage...
that's a mini project for me this weekend sorted
anyone got a decent car for me to shoot?
Quote: That sounds pretty cool for the interior photographer type
Yes I'm mentioning this in the review. They could set up a balanced shot and adjust the balance later. I didn't think of the flash aspect though. That could also work really well because you'd just need to take one shot with the flash in one position, then shoot again with it in the second position and repeat for a total of six. And then you can not only adjust the brightness of each flash region but the colour too so the gel process could be don later and varied. Might have to go out tonight with my flash!

This one was processed with Photomatix & tonemapped using details enhancer.
This one done with Oloneo PhotoEngine.
Both taken into P/S & finished with a curves adjustment & minimal sharpening for the web.
I must admit,I prefer the colour & tones in the Oloneo processed image.
I haven't got all the other programs .....else I would have done the lot
A difficult scene to process with all that glass but I think the second one looks more like the shop as I remember it
yeah - it does look better
I used to get fed up of things looking really faded and blue with Details Enhancer - look at the colour of the wood on the RHS cabinet in the 2 shots - rich brown in the lower one, blueish hues entering with the top one
that's why many of my shots ended up being processed as monos, or with just yellows showing, or just strange colours - trying to avoid those quirks of Details Enhancer
The Picturenaut looks interesting as its opensource. Some of the results look pretty good..
Picturenaut gives some very good results. Very close to Photomatix regarding detial and good colours and what I have been using up to now.Last Modified By RipleyExile at 16 Jul 2010 - 9:27 PM
here's a Oloneo HDR
most of the va va voom of the shot came from Nic Software, but the HDR processing was from Oloneo
.....it doen't exist, I saved the va-va-voom one over the top, but I have others... hang on a sec
here's one
just 3 RAW files put through the mill
and here's the result, bunnies and all
well I've still got the raws....
I could recreate for ££££££££££

Video: YOUNG EMPIRES – White Doves
Website / Facebook / Twitter / Soundcloud
I think there was a stint where we ended every episode of iM for about a month with a YOUNG EMPIRES song (The Earth Plates Are Shifting, or Rain Of Gold alternatively if I'm not mistaken), so suffice to say we're already pretty big fans of the Toronto-based electro-pop act.
Following up the release of their seven-track debut EP Wake All My Youth back in January, the now-quartet recently released the official video for single White Doves, and it's been getting a fair bit of attention – not only for the track itself, or even just the video, but the way the video is delivered and integrated.
Directed by Miles Jay with art direction by Zazu Myers & Drew Lint and cinematography by Max Chin, the video for White Doves (co-developed by digital studio Jam3) delves into what appears to be a post-apocalyptic society where teens and twenty-somethings slave away in factories dedicated to destroying memories (or at least the photographic proof of them). That is until some of the workers begin to defy their superiors to protect the memories – check it out below.
Perhaps much more broadly bridging the gap between the realms of music video and social media, rather than just simply for fan-service – the band has also put together what is being called "the world's first Facebook Connect video", which adds a fun and interactive personalized touch once you login to the interface through your Facebook account, adding your own personal photos from your Facebook account in place of the photos in the video: watch the original, and then check out that interactive version HERE.
In other news, the band will be back in Toronto for NXNE next week before heading out on a North American tour through the rest of the summer (see dates below), so be sure to catch these guys live when they swing through your neighbourhood – we've seen them a handful of times already and they don't disappoint!

09.08.06 - by James Slater: Strong indications say pound-for-pound king, Floyd Mayweather will box Cory Spinks in his next outing. The fight, already approved, sanctioning wise by the IBF, is being talked about for "Pretty Boy's" November 4 pay-per-view commitment. Tentatively scheduled to take place at The MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the bout is a fascinating match-up. It seems Floyd is keen on moving up to light middleweight and challenging Spinks for his belt. The question is, is 154 too high for Floyd?
Spinks is coming off a very good, albeit controversial win, over the excellent Roman Karmazin. Now a two-time world champion, Cory will be no pushover for Mayweather. He has only been stopped once - by Zab Judah - and his fine and silky skills have seen him box his way to many fine victories. One of them over Judah, in their first meeting.. And Zab, in his fight with Floyd, was more than holding his own in the first half of the contest, before Mayweather came on to dominate late. But this was at welterweight - will the undefeated modern great be as effective up a division?
We know Spinks can box effectively at 154 - the win over Karmazin, although extremely close, proves it. Because, and let's get it straight right now, Roman Karamzin is one very good fighter. More than a few top names have been rumoured to have avoided him - Oscar De La Hoya, for example. Yet Spinks beat him, becoming only the second man to do so. With his southpaw stance, Cory was able to frustrate the Russian. And I for one feel his style of fighting will pose Floyd Mayweather with more than a few problems also.
With the new poundage Floyd will be boxing at thrown into the equation, I think a very interesting boxing match will unfold at The MGM in November. And a boxing match is what we will get. In what I feel is almost certain to be a distance fight, both guys will be showing off their slippery skills. But if - and I admit, it's a big if - "Pretty Boy" has bitten off more than he can chew by fighting the taller and bigger man, he may find his punch prowess isn't quite as effective as it has been. In the same way the all-conquering Ricky Hatton found out how tough it can be going up the divisions, Floyd Mayweather just might be heading toward a rude awakening too.
Cory Spinks to pull off the upset of the year? I believe the man from St. Louis is more than capable!

About the Pictures Image Gallery
The Bhopal disaster was an industrial catastrophe that took place at a pesticide plant owned and operated by Union Carbide (UCIL) in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Around midnight on December 2-3, 1984, the plant released methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas and other toxins, resulting in the exposure of over 500,000 people. Estimates vary on the death toll. The official immediate death toll was 2,259 and the government of Madhya Pradesh has confirmed a total of 3,787 deaths related to the gas release. Other government agencies estimate 15,000 deaths. Others estimate that 8,000 died within the first weeks and that another 8,000 have since died from gas-related diseases.

Today I stubbed my middle toe on the corner of my chair leg. Naturally, I collapsed in complete agonizing pain. But as I laid on the floor, actually crying aloud from such a tiny yet excruciating injury, I began to laugh. Not laughing joyously, but that strange cry laugh you do as a kid- coming in and out of crying and giggling. I felt real. It all seemed so "real" and so I began to cry a different cry. A sighing cry. So then I laid there just a few minutes longer to soak in the fact I had just experienced one of those magical Human moments.

-this is the first image from my last visit to my hometown in Southern California. This self portrait, taken in front of my late brother's apartment door, was an idea I've been holding with me since November. Tristan passed away in August, a victim to a drive by shooting only one block from my family home. I am not sure where this series is going but I am happy to announce its birth.
iPhone 5C photograph
Random Blue House Of Houston Texas that I saw when walking to work today. Immediately I photographed it. My heart sank and I paired it with a Frida Kahlo quote:
"Nothing compares to your hands, nothing like the green-gold of your eyes. My body is filled with you for days and days. you are the mirror of the night. the violent flash of lightning. the dampness of the earth. The hollow of your armpits is my shelter. my fingers touch your blood. All my joy is to feel life spring from your flower-fountain that mine keeps to fill all the paths of my nerves which are yours."

"The world is eaten up by boredom. You can't see it all at once. It is like dust. You go about and never notice, you breathe it in, you eat and drink it. It is sifted so fine, it doesn't even grit on your teeth. But stand still for an instant and there it is, coating your face and hands. To shake off this drizzle of ashes you must be for ever on the go. And so people are always on the go."

I'm no expert either, I think these are fairly common though. If you're going to keep it, maybe clean it up and paint it a fun color?!
It does look identical to the Thomasville ones glasseye posted - take a look at the bottom (remove drawer if you need to) to see if there's a stamp under there.
This is Henry Link Bali Hai collection . I used to have the entire set.. Amazing quality..
I agree with Jennifer I. as I have also seen them around. The price glasseye quotes is for a pair and in white. It seems to be from a venue that specializes in that kind of furniture. The description indicates they are signed.
If you like the table just enjoy it - the price was right!
Etsy has a few examples too. It looks like they run about $100 to $200 each.
It looks exactly like these which were totally DIY'd beautifully by Pam of Cherish Toronto. http://cherishtoronto.blogspot.ca/2012/06/diy-challenge-done.html
It looks like a hotel piece. Look underneath or under the drawer for the maker. If it was from a hotel, the value as a vintage may not be high, unless to a collector. That said, hotel furniture were made to be used for a long time and are of sturdy construct. I say its yours now, have fun with it!
New York Muhtari is right that the night stand is from the Henry Link Bali Hai collection, apple green. I have a set down in my basement that I bought for our daughter in 1972 - besides the night stand, the set includes head board, a dresser, 2 chests, corner desk and bookshelves that sit on the chests. Oh, a mirror and a chair. It was fairly expensive then.
The set also came in "yellow" - maybe called "pineapple yellow." To me, the green was a better choice.
It looks pretty nice, I would probably try to clean it and use it as is.
Glasseye is correct, your table is Palm Beach Regency. Bali Hai did not have the fretting at the bottom, were more rounded on the corners on the top and had different drawer pulls. Depending on finding the right buyer, and your's looks to be in decent shape, you may get 100 to 150 range for a single table. If I was you and liked the table, I would do as Jennifer suggested and paint it a fun color and keep it. You can't beat the price!
I have a set of these nightstands and a matching cabinet/hutch. It's Thomasville.
Thanks everyone! I think we'll keep it; maybe paint it. It's really high for our bed, but I'll definitely find a use for it elsewhere in our humble abode. We've repurposed tons of weird tables.
Or you could box it up and send it to me! :)
I'd love to see some gold leaf on there somewhere
Have a look on these beauty from The Papaya Tree: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=540705962645720&set=a.173127896070197.39681.172278169488503&type=1&theater

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Enjoy the Bounce (Final)
Search Jim Cramer's Mad Money trading recommendations using our exclusive Mad Money Stock Screener and watch Jim Cramer's Mad Money Post Game video exclusively on TheStreet.com.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "If you've got a chance to make some money in the market, take it," Jim Cramer told the viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Thursday as he reflected on a huge up day on Wall Street.
He told investors not to worry about if this rally is sustainable in the future, but rather how they can profit from it today.Cramer said the Federal Reserve's actions are designed to ignite confidence in the markets. He said they will result in more money coming into the market and thus take stocks higher. He said the Fed's moves will also trigger buying in the commodities and make the dollar more competitive overseas, all of which leads to profits to be made in the short term. Cramer likened the current market action to that in Japan in the 1980s, or that of the technology stocks in the 1990s. Yes, both of those moves eventually came to an end, he said, but in the interim fortunes were made. Cramer said eventually it will be time to take the "money and run," but that time isn't today. He said investors meed to stay flexible, and know when there's still money left on the table and when they've made enough and realize it's time to move on. Cramer's bottom line: "Save the opining for later; there's money to be made."

Should long-range aircraft be outlawed to save fuel?
Dr. John Green, who chairs the science and technology sub-group of industry environment group Greener by Design, would like to outlaw the sale of aircraft that are capable of ranges greater than 3,000 nm.
His reason is a compelling one. As he told last week's NACRE conference in London, flying 8,000 nm in three hops instead of one uses just half the fuel. "So why aren't people doing it," he wondered.
Hardly any aircraft actually fly 8,000 nm, of course, and half the total fuel consumed by commercial aircraft is used on routes of 1,000 nm or less. But much of the other half is burned by 747s and other long-range aircraft carrying around the bigger, heavier wings and landing gear they need only for the extreme ranges.
More efficient air traffic management would reduce the fuel burn of the entire existing fleet as well as new designs, so it would have the greatest immediate impact. But in terms of new aircraft, he said, "reducing the design range is by far the most powerful way of getting fuel burn down."
Contrails and contrail-induced cirrus cloud formation, meanwhile, are emerging as a major concern. The means of avoiding them–reducing air traffic in the regions of cold, super-saturated air where they occur–would increase fuel burn and associated climate-harming emissions, exacerbate airline disruption and complicate air traffic control. "But that may be the price we have to pay," Green said.
Another conundrum highlighted by Green is the impact of noise reduction on other environmental targets. Increasing engine bypass ratios reduces noise but means bigger fans, bigger nacelles, more weight and higher drag, he said, citing the example of the small fuel burn penalty the A380 pays to comply with Heathrow's noise limits.
The good news when looking ahead to 2050, Green believes, is that the world fleet fuel burn and consequent CO2 emissions per passenger kilometer could be reduced by a factor of three, oxides of nitrogen at altitude by a factor of 10 and contrail cirrus by as much as 15.

"In the game of life,
nothing is less important,
than the score at halftime."
~ unknown
Last Saturday, two days after San Diego beat Denver, in a post called, "The Weekly Donnybrook: The Weigh-In," I suggested that the Chargers had shown the rest of the league the blueprint for how to handle a hungry Manning. Upon further review, the answer may be more pointed, in that you simply can not score too fast to beat them, because that plays right into their hands in that, they appear able to score at will and in an instant. However, this piece is more about the Chiefs than the Broncos, and it looks like the Chiefs have rediscovered that old bug-a-boo of their own — scoring too fast.
As I sat and watched the Chiefs pulverize the Raiders on Sunday, I could count the number of times (5, equalling the number of times JC scored) I was reminded of another wonderful Chiefs offensive juggernaut: the 2003 Priest Holmes led Chiefs. As RB Jamaal Charles took one screen pass after another and turned them into his own little endzone river-dances, I couldn't help but be impressed by, 1) the way he so adeptly pulled the ball in (sometimes with only one hand), 2) carefully following his blockers, 3) making the perfect cuts to the promised land and 4) keeping his jersey Tidey clean.
It might as well have been Priest Holmes tugging the payload and for the most part of the game… but make no mistake… I was thrilled.
However, doubt began to creep in during the third quarter. The Oakland Raiders had somehow whittled the score down to 34-31 and the final outcome of this contest, came into question again.
Wow, as a fan you have to be ecstatic about such an outcome. I recall being totally "ecstatic" 10 years ago too, every time Trent Green and Tony G connected or Priest did one of his high steps into the end zone… and it almost always led to another victory. However, the 2003 Chiefs defense was so bad, they could do nothing in the playoffs.
Now, ecstasy has turned to reservation.
Yes, this 2013 team can win many of these "battles"… but can they win the big one's that are coming on the near horizon? For now, although I reserve final judgement at some future point in time, it appears that for now… they can not.
That is, unless, they can learn to control the tempo of games.
On Sunday, the Raiders not only won the time of "Possession Chess Match" (34:07 to 25:53) but they also won "Pigskin Jenga"… aka; the total yardage game (461 to 384). Why is that important if the Chiefs come out on top? There's a simple answer to that: do you know of a defensive player who can play dominant defense for 60 straight minutes. No? Me either.
If you've ever run wind sprints you can further grasp the level of difficulty when it comes to asking the most premiere athletes in the world to go all out for more than 30 minutes per game.
Athletes need rest intervals.
This is likely the reason that the Denver Broncos defense isn't flourishing this year. How's the New Orleans Saints defense doing lately? The last three teams the Saints have faced are averaging 25 points per game against them and the Saints are one of the fastest "fastbreak" teams in the league (and also happen to be 1-2 in those games).
Good teams can pull off the "defensive dominance streak" for several games in a row if they're a truly a good defense but, it doesn't look like you can sit back and tout old worn out adages anymore… like, "Defense wins championships."
Do you think the 2012 Super Bowl Champion Ravens were a top ten defense? Think again, they were #17.
What the Ravens defense could do is assert themselves in a timely manner. And their offense proved the same. That's why they won the Super Bowl.
Should we hope the Chiefs could do the same the rest of the way out this season? Yes, if Justin Houston returns to form and Bob Sutton calls for more disruptive blitzes.
Saying the Chiefs "score too fast" is a bit like saying I'm out of money because I made the money too quickly. That might be true, if you're young and don't know how to handle wealth and success.
So, what does that mean?
1) Do you think the Chiefs defensive players began to believe the hype about their own defense in the first half of the season? Yes, me too.
2) Do you think there have there been games in which the defense has let up, or not been as focused in the last half of the season, because the offense is now excelling? Yes, me too.
3) Do you think the games against Manning, Rivers and Manning had some of the defensive players head's spinning and not understanding what was happening to them? Yes, me too.
Remember the Chiefs are still one of the youngest teams in the league and consequently, still learning as they go.
While I believe it's possible for a team, like the Chiefs, to "score too fast" I also believe that it's totally related to their own defense's ability to make a stop on the following drives of opponents and yes, that includes stops via turnovers.
The disconcerting aspect of Sunday's game with the Raiders is that the defense didn't win the game by holding them from making first downs… as much as they did by making a turnover.
Why would that bother me? Because the "turnover" can't be counted upon. Yes, the Chiefs are leading the league in the turnover/takeway category but, Bob Sutton doesn't sit on the sideline and call plays that are designed to create a turnover. There are no such plays.
The Chiefs can stress turnovers all they want in practice but turnovers are one of the least predictable parts of the pro game.
It took the Chiefs all of 12 seconds to score their first TD against the Raiders. However, it does sound a little crazy to say, "Hey Jamaal, we don't want you to score so fast. We don't need you to be that good right out of the box. We want to march downfield and score a little slower."
If that's what is needed to even things out between the Chiefs offense and defense, JC is not your man. And I'm not your fan.
However, when you think about the on-going success of a team like the New England Patriots, it's their ability to sustain drives by using the run and the pass. Yes, we all know how good Mr. Tom Brady is but, it's the overall design of the Pats offense to run the ball successfully, in order to make sure their passing game can do whatever they want, whenever they want. Can you count the number of times in the past ten years that the Chiefs have had a better record than the Patriots? That's because the Pats are able to approach every season with a balanced running/passing game no matter how hard their schedule is.
And that design allows them to dictate the tempo of a game. Usually. I think it's great that the Chiefs are able to get JC out in space and create an offense that now appears able to score at will. However, it's a long way from being able to execute a Marty-ball approach and ram the ball up the middle all day long if needed, when needed, like at the end of games in which they're leading. Or, during the middle of games in which their opponent is running a fast break offense (ie, Manning, Brees, Rivers… and other teams the Chiefs can expect to meet in the playoffs).
Yes, Jamaal Charles has been having success running up the middle this season but, unless Chiefs fans want to see JC on crutches really soon then the Chiefs need to get someone like Knile Davis going and then trust him with more carries. A lot more carries. Jamaal Charles has 631 touches in the past 30 games. Right now, he seems superhuman but, we all must realize, he is not.
Last weekend, the Dallas Cowboys who were backed up to their own end zone by the Rodgers-less Packers and decided to allow the Pack to score with 1:30 left on the clock… figuring they could then score again themselves to win the game. However, that didn't happen. The same scenario played out at the end of Super Bowl XXXII 15 years ago with similar results.
It's not so much about scoring quickly — or slowly — as it is about controlling the tempo of the game. So, what has the biggest effects on the "tempo" of a game? One answer is adjustments.
When the Chiefs faced the Broncos the first time this year, the Chiefs didn't make the proper adjustments to keep that game under control. Then again, between that time and two weeks later the Chiefs didn't make the right adjustments to win vs. the Broncos even on their own home field.
Another tempo "cause and effect" is execution. The Chiefs didn't execute when they had the chance. If you can't execute your plan, then there's little hope that you can control the most important aspects of a game: when someone is going to score… you and them included.
Consequently, another huge determiner of whether or not a team has the wherewithal to dictate the tempo of a game is… ability… or lack thereof.
If this season has taught us anything, it's that the Chiefs are talented. They have… ability.
So, it may also be a question of… consistency… and which brings us back to doe (doe-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-doe).
One of the tenets that this piece is based upon, is that, if a team has a fast paced-high scoring offense, it places an extra burden upon that team's defense.
The 1999 St. Louis Rams offense (the Greatest Show on Turf) was fantastic and had a defense to match. The Rams defense was 4th in the league that year in points allowed with 15.1.
So, there are no rules against an excellent offense existing on the same team with an excellent defense. We've seen both kinds of performances from the Chiefs this season… just not on the same weekend.
Chalk it up to youth? Could it be the new offense took more time for Chiefs players to adapt to while the defense has the disadvantage of becoming familiar to other teams now that the season is 88% complete?
When you win 9 games in a row there is something about it that makes you think, "Team of Destiny." However, this may simply not be the Chiefs season. Patrick Allen, in his post called, "Chiefs May Not Win Another Game" has stated,
"The Chiefs have a real chance to accomplish something very special in the playoffs…but first they have to grow up. It is time for Andy Reid's team to go from a cute story to a legitimate Super Bowl threat. They failed to do it during their three game losing streak. Thankfully, they get another chance to prove themselves in their next three games."
Allen points to maturity — while I call it an issue of youth. Tomato- Tomatoe.
What that means in practical terms is… when the offense begins to have success, the defense must keep the pedal to the metal and when the defense is having success then the offense needs to keep the pedal to the metal.
Getting an interception and then fumbling the ball away in the next few plays or making an interception and then giving up an interception… these are all signs of immaturity.
Staying focused on executing the very next task immediately following the excitement of one of your teammates "making a play" is the kind of focus needed for these youthful Chiefs.
Are the Chiefs a team who "score too fast?" No, in fact, I say bring it on. However, if you look to the evidence that shows Chiefs defensive players appear to be letting up following a Chiefs score, instead of going back onto the field focused and deliberate to take a kill shot by going for a 3 and out.. you might also answer, yes.
What I see is a team that's capable of dominating on both sides of the football. Here's hoping that the double-dominance begins this weekend at the expense of the Indianapolis Colts.

2014 European Basketball Marketing Summit focuses on fans

For years, with the cooperation of sporting and educational entities across the world, Euroleague Basketball has been organising expert panels where professionals can meet and exchange ideas to move our sport forward to an even better future, such as the European Basketball Marketing Summit. Every summer the EBI Annual Workshops take place in Barcelona, in recent years including meetings between the Euroleague Head Coaches, Ticketing Workshops, Media Directors, Referees Commission, or the EBI Basketball Rules Summit.

Thank you! The grey stuff tasted like chocolate mousse. The pearls reminded me of M & M's. I have to say that this really showed the Disney "touch".
I was completely swept away with the detail and for lack of a better word, magic of the place. If the Snow White coaster has this much attention to detail, then it will be something to truly behold.

Word of advice, If you have no dinner reservations get in line (EARLY) and try the lunch. Eight of us jumped into line at 10:15 AM. By the time we got through the line and served it was 11 AM (a reasonable time for lunch). Try the French Onion Soup and the steak sandwich (on garlic bread). Both were excellent.
Unfortunately we did not see "the host."

Customer sues Wal-Mart over 2 cents
The Pittsburgh-area consumer advocate made a successful case against the retail behemoth.
Mary Bach bought a package of Banquet Brown 'N Serve sausage labeled 98 cents at the freezer case. But it rang up for 2 cents more. When she pointed out the discrepancy, the cashier gave her the lower price.
Six days later, it happened again. This time, Bach took Wal-Mart to court -- and won. Post continues after video.
"Murrysville District Judge Charles Conway sided with Bach in her civil lawsuit alleging unfair trade practices. He awarded Bach $100 in damages, plus about $80 in court costs," the Tribune-Review reported.
The retail behemoth argued that Banquet had just changed the package and the UPC, so the old ones were ringing up for 98 cents and the new packages cost a buck. Both the old and new were still being sold by the store.
Wal-Mart also argued that Bach, a consumer advocate, was just looking for another excuse to sue the Delmont, Pa., store (where, we suspect, employees cringe when she walks through the door). She's sued that Pittsburgh area store four times before over similar allegations. (You can read about some of her previous legal battles here, here and here. She has also successfully sued Kmart and other retailers, but lost a case over how Wal-Mart charges sales tax on items discounted with a coupon.)
Bach says it's the principle: Wal-Mart should make sure it doesn't charge more than the advertised price. (The $100 award plus court costs is the minimum allowed under Pennsylvania law for such cases.)
To some, Bach is a hero. Posted reader "Kevin Hooper" at The Huffington Post:
Do you people not realize how much overcharging a few cents per transaction costs us? Take a behemoth like Wal-Mart, even if they only overcharge 10% of the time it would mean tens of millions in overpayment.
Said a reader at WeUseCoupons.com, "Well, good for her. I don't have the time for it nor the inclination but she has picked up the gauntlet for the little person and is waving it at Walmart."
Some think her efforts are misguided at best. "What a waste of time," commented "Dan Doyle" at HuffPost. "Maybe she should sue the government for wasting her money instead and make a significant point."
Wrote "disgusted!" at lehighvalleylive.com: "Really? With everything that's going on in the world she's whining over 2 freaking cents!"
Still, there's something everyone should learn from this: Always check your receipt and do it before you leave the store. The Los Angeles County Department of Consumer Affairs has other tips:
Pay attention to the cash register display to be sure you are charged the correct price.
Immediately point out overcharges to the cashier.
Ask about the store's policy on overcharges. If you are overcharged, some stores will give you the item free or offer a discount.
Note: Receipt checks by store employees as you head to the door are also strictly voluntary on your part unless it's included in a membership agreement, like the one at Costco, MSN Money's Liz Weston has said.
More on MSN.com:
You are all missing the point! This lady has nothing better to do than tie up the court system with frivolous lawsuits! She will now cause the price of items to increase in the store to make up costs for her lawsuit and defending itself over other ridiculous lawsuits.
A store that sells as many products as Walmart is bound to make price mistakes. Remember, there are human workers responsible for the layouts and changing prices in the store. What it boils down to is free enterprise. If she doesn't like the fact that Walmart makes mistakes...go somewhere else! No one is forcing her to shop there.
I truly hope someone sues her the next time she makes a mistake at her job. If (And that is a BIG IF) she has one. I'm upset with her and equally upset with the kooky judge that decided in her favor. Obviously, a strong understanding of consumer law is not his bag. A computer glitch was the mistake and she never had to pay for the incorrect price of the product.
I would suggest everyone in the Murrysville area to vote Judge Charles Conway out of office.
It did NOT cost Wal-Mart $180 to defend themselves in this lawsuit. It actuallly cost much, much more. Thousands in lawyers fees, lost work time from anyone who was called to testify for the company, to name two points. Who will end up paying for that? That's right, we, the consumers.
Here's my two cents worth....Mary can stick those two pennies up her whiny nose.
Your suing giant retail over 2 pennies??? Something tells me you are no better than those crooked thief that likes to go around retail stores switching labels on the shelf and then have the audacity to argue at the register cuase it rang up a different price tag. I've work for retail stores in the past and I know that 90% of the time you'll have some idiots come into the stores and will purposely try switching the shelf label or putting items in the wrong spot hence creating a price discrepancy for another customer that comes along and see that specific item in the wrong home not knowing that the upc doesn't match that price. So it's not always the retail store's fault for the pricing errors. Walmart has like the best deals ever and not only that they'll price match any other retailers thereby saving me even more on gas of having to drive all over town trying to get a better deal. If that women thinks a dollar is way too expensive even if it says 98 cent on the shelf. than by all means go shop somewhere else where they'll charge her a hell of a lot more for that same product. Not to mention that you're shopping at one of the busiest retailors in the world. When you have a busy days like that during business hour you tend to get sidetrack on some of your product and may have forgotten to change or fix the shelf label price. That happens a lot during on business hours. As a customer you just have to use common sense and view both labels first. If you see something that seems to be too good to be true,then try to make sure that the upc of the product matches the one on the shelf before you take it.
I'll say it again; THIS IS WHAT THIS WOMAN DOES FOR A LIVING. Do a Bing or Google search on her. She is a SELF APPOINTED, independent "consumer advocate", but she keep all the money she wins in "our name" for herself.
Who pays for her "winning" against the likes of big, greedy?, evil? Wal-Mart over $.02 on one item? That's right!! YOU AND ME. It isn't just the $180 the idiot judge awarded her, it is also all the legal costs, lawyers, time, documents, employee time to testify, etc. Wal-Mart had to pay defending itself. Did Wal-Mart change the price to the correct one when she brought it up at the register? Yes. SO, she did pay $.98 for her item. So she was "injured" how?? Oh, that's right. Don't confuse the liberals with facts, it only makes the angry.
She has sued the same store 5 times, and sued other local stores. If she doesn't like shopping somewhere because she knows they are going to rip her off then she should not be allowed to shop there anymore. If I know one of the bars in town is charging me an extra 2 cents each time they ring my beer up I am simply going to patron a different establishment.
If I were walmart I would settle her next case ( which I can predict is coming soon) with a do not return agreement. Give her $10,000, and save your company the future headaches. Leak the story to the news, and make her the ridicule of her local town.
I bet walmart often overcharges lots of customers, but I have never been denied a price change after I have reviewed my receipt. People causeing a comotion and cutting into a companies profits with frivolous law suits, schemes to get products for free, and stealing, cost every other consumer in price markups.

These things rock. Installed 8gbs on an Asus Commando and it booted right away with bios changes. I am running these with 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1 volts with a ratio of 1:1 and a Q6600 @3.2ghz 9x355 on an Asus Commando. The ram fits perfectley side by side on my motherboard unlike others with bigger heat sinks that you have to leave the slot beside them empty.

I got this back when $200 for a 4 GB was a good deal.
This uses the Powerchips ICs that can reach well over 500 Mhz in the hands of someone who knows how to OC.
On my old P965 mobo, i was able to reach DDR2-1100 5-5-5-18 with this kit.
The key to clocking Powerchips ICs is a loose TRFC though...if you can't get them very far, it's likely because your TRFC is set to 42 or something too low.
48+ & these will fly.
Or for those of us with crippled Asus boards (that max out at 42 TRFC), setting things to SPD will trigger a TRFC of 51, that allows far higher clocking for this (& many other kits).

Mega Bites Charters offers a fun and friendly Lake Erie fishing atmosphere, always striving to provide the best possible service for its customers.
We've been doing just that since 1983, serving sportsmen from New York to California and from Canada to Florida and Texas.
Fishermen keep coming back for a Lake Erie charter because we consistently catch fish season after season, whether we drift for them, anchor or troll.
There is always a bite on for walleye, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Our season in Ohio runs from April to November so there is plenty of opportunity to experience a Lake Erie fishing charter.
We are catching walleyes like these right now just 10 minutes out the river at Vermilion, OH, so no long boat rides. Book your charter now and get in on the action before the fish move.
Most anglers come to Lake Erie for the amazing walleye fishing. It's not uncommon to score a big catch. Lake Erie is also famous for hefty walleyes in the 10-14 pound range.
Everyone has a shot at a trophy fish on my Lake Erie fishing charters.We catch many walleyes of this size (above) year after year whether drift fishing or trolling.
You'll fish from Mega Bites, a clean, roomy 30-ft Baha sportfish, made for Lake Erie charter fishing. You'll fish with natural and artificial baits supplied as part of the charter cost.
We use a variety of lures but the favorites are worm harnesses for casting and Reef Runners for trolling. On my charters all fishing gear is provided including the lures.
We also have a board where your Lake Erie walleye fishing charter catch can be displayed for photos. Big catches always draw a crowd.
We work for you
People on all skill levels come to Lake Erie to fish with Mega Bites Charters. Not only do we provide excellent gear, we help them catch more fish by offering tips on casting their lures effectively, place them in the strike zone and get their fish into the net.
Enjoy Lake Erie fishing this summer with a four-hour charter instead of a day-long trip. It's perfect for families with kids and folks who just want a taste of the action. Plus, it's easier on the wallet. Cost is $400 for up to six people. Fishing gear and bait are included. Fish Sunday through Friday, mornings or afternoons. Call now at 440-365-9932 to make your reservations.
MBC maintains docks in the Port Clinton area in the spring and Vermilion the remainder of the fishing season. This is because the best fishing begins in the Western Basin and as the water warms up the walleyes move eastward into deeper water.
Mega Bites is a fully-equipped 30-ft. sportfisher.

Ch.10: Pink Walls0 Reviews
Hospital, pink walls, and a selfish Gerard
I can't believe this...I have a fucking DAUGHTER! and right when I meet her she getts shot. WHAT THE FUCK?! I'm sad 'cause she's hurt and I'm bouncing off the walls because I have a daughter. Actually in can just be the skittles I just ate....Anyways....I know she will pull through. I just know it.
Normal POV
Frank and Elena arrived at the hospital and the parametics rushed her to the E.R. He waitedin the white waiting room for his friends to arrive. This place needs some color! he thought. Hmmm...maybe PINK! Then the guys and girl came in running.
"How's Elena?" they all asked, anxtious to hear the news and their friend and soon-to-be amost- like-a-sister.
"Um, I don't know yet, but don't you guys think this place should have pink walls?! shouted Frank. The people in the waiting room, staring at him.
"Frank, your daughter just got shot is in the hospital...and you're thinking the walls need more COLOR?!" screamed Mikey.
"Ya, and she saved my life!" yelled Gerard. The boys then cleared their throats," I mean OUR lives." Gerard corrected himself, blushing.
"Why does everthing have to be about you?" said Bob, Ray agreeing.
"Ya-hu!" replied Ray and Bob. While this was going on they didn't notice the doctor starting to approach them.
"Are you here for a Miss Beniero?" asked the doctor, scaring the living shit out of the guys and Ember.
2 down and 1 to go..well for this story anyway. R&R&R

Guest post by Jodie Rodriguez from Growing Book by Book.
I discovered Growing Book by Book a few weeks ago and was instantly smitten. Jodie's passion for early literacy pops off of the screen. Her blog shares children's book lists, author-illustrator highlights, book activities and more. It's definitely worth checking out and this post is no exception. I hope you will find a few new ideas for building a home library on a budget.
Becoming a proficient reader involves practice, practice, practice. Every reader needs text to practice their growing literacy skills. Building a library can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be! Let's look at some inexpensive ideas for collecting a wide variety of books.
Book Fairs/Sales
Many libraries, schools and community organizations hold book fairs throughout the year. These sales often sell used children's books for $.25 to a $1. Last summer, our local middle school was holding a book fair to raise money for their band program. I spent $5.25 and walked away with 15 books! The Book Sale Finder website will help you locate fairs/sales in your area.
If you are a teacher, librarian or homeschool teacher, then you can also take advantage of the Scholastic Warehouse Sales, where you can acquire new books for up to 80% off the retail price. Sales are held throughout the year in various locations within the United States. Save even more by printing off the online coupon on Scholastic's website.
Yard Sales
Beginning in the spring and often lasting until the fall, you can find numerous yard sales in your area. Many times you will find gently used books starting at $.10. I like to find sales in my area on Craigslist. Many people also advertise in local newspapers and by hanging signs in the neighborhood.
Thrift Stores
Thrift shops often carry lots of donated books. This option has always been hit or miss for me. Sometimes I can find some great items, but I often leave empty-handed. The key is to check back often because new items are put out daily.
If you are looking for an exact title, then shopping online is a great option. Some of my favorite sites to visit are: Better World Books, Ebay, and Half.com .Craiglist is also good if you aren't looking for a specific title. Type in "children's books" in the search bar. A recent search in my community netted 295 matches. This time of year, you will find many retiring teachers posting books for sale.
Book Orders
Your child may have brought home a book order flyer each month this school year. This is another great way to collect new and current books. Items are usually under $5 and for every book ordered, your child's teacher will earn bonus points to get more books for the classroom. Though these books are new, they usually have a staple binding meaning they tend to fall apart sooner. I highly recommend reinforcing the book spine with clear packing tape before your first read.
Book Swap Parties
Are you looking for a free way to collect books? Do you have books that your child is no longer interested in reading? Hold a book swap party. Invite other families(How about all the families from your child's class?) over to your house or a local park. For each used book that a family brings, they get to swap it for a different book at the party. For extra fun, have snacks and hold book talks during the event.
I hope you enjoy building your child's library with these ideas.

To that great list I would add, if you are in the US you should see if the Dolly Parton Imagination Library has an affiliate in your area. It provides one free book in the mail each month from birth to school age, each selected to be age appropriate for the child and is a wonderful resource.
We get lots of books from our library. Several times a year they hold Friends of the Library sales and they sale kids books for a quarter!
What great resources! We have picked up quite a few books at library sales. I can't wait until a Scholastic sale is in our area.
Love this post! So huge! Books can be expensive but they are so very important! Thanks!
Try paperbackswap.com. It is an online book trading group. You pay for shipping the book and that is it. Would be a great way to "trade" books once read.
I love books, and I hate paying brick and mortar bookstore prices for them. One of my favorite ways of getting books cheaply is going to library book sales. Oftentimes, books are $1, but if you go on the last day, you can usually get a large box or bag full of books for $10. Plus, it goes to a great cause.

Also, if you have access to Half Price Books, their clearance section is awesome! Most clearance books are less than $3.
