Alert me when new vintages of Louis Martini Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon are available for purchase.
Professional Ratings: 87 The Wine Advocate
Region: Sonoma County, California
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Item no. 81509
Notable Facts The Cabernet Sauvignon grape is a small berry with a thick skin and a high pip to pulp ratio. This in turn creates a wine high in color, tannin and extract. Typical Cabernet Sauvignon descriptors include blackberry, cassis, cedar and currant. Because the grape adapts to many different soils and climates, its characteristics truly reflect a sense of place. In Bordeaux you'll find the more earthy, tannic side of Cabernet, where it's typically blended to soften tannins and add complexity. In warmer regions like California and Australia, you'll frequently find ripe fruit flavors upfront. Cabernet Sauvignon crafts wines as a single varietal and as a blending partner, where it can add structure and tannins.
Summing it up Successful Sites:Just about everywhere, particularly Bordeaux and California
Common Descriptors:blackberry, black chery, black currant, cassis, herbs, cedar, tobacco, earth
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

Tony Romo Has A Broken Collarbone
Tony Romo broke his left collarbone today when Eagles rookie linebacker Jordan Hicks sacked him and forced a fumble in the third quarter of today's game in Philadelphia. This is the same collarbone that Romo broke in 2010 that caused him to miss eight games. He didn't have surgery for that injury, and it's currently… »

Prairie Dog's Fall Reading List
Reprinted with permission from the Fall 2015 issue of The Prairie Progressive, Iowa's oldest progressive newsletter, available only in hard copy for $12/yr.!! Send check to PP, Box 1945, Iowa City 52244.
Incarnadine by Mary Szybist
Sometimes spiritual, sometimes erotic, always brave and beautiful – these are poems that will haunt you deep into the autumn night. Szybist is deft and audacious, able to seamlessly weave words from a George W. Bush address to Congress into an Annunciation (both religious and political) about a young girl in a meadow, engrossed in a book.
The Laughing Monsters by Denis Johnson
The most talented of all Iowa Writers' Workshop graduates creates a mysterious, bleakly entertaining world of NATO intrigue, military bungling, madness, and betrayal in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As the protagonist Nair says, "Never go back the way you came." As Prairie Dog says, never invite anyone from a Denis Johnson novel into your home.
Telex from Cuba by Rachel Kushner
During the idyllic Batista years, American sugar kings and their families drink, have sex, throw elaborate parties for their fellow expatriates, and look over their shoulders at the hills where Castro's rebels lurk. Kushner's debut novel, before The Flame Throwers, is a delicious melange of politics, passion, and psychology in a decadent world on the edge of disruption.
Cuba Straits by Randy Wayne White
Cut to contemporary Cuba, where White – a Davenport Central High grad – sets a hilarious saga of Santeria, smuggled baseball players, rare turtles, letters to a mysterious woman from Fidel and Raul, and a cast of Carribean characters worthy of a Carl Hiaasen crime caper.
The Things They Cannot Say by Kevin Sites
A collection of eleven harrowing portraits of soldiers and marines that could easily be titled The Things They Cannot Forget. Sites deals in raw and ugly truths about killing and surviving in battle, and how combatants live with what they've done and seen. Most don't live with it very well, including embedded journalist Sites, who struggled for years to come to grips with his own complicity in allowing a man to die. For others, redemption comes only through efforts to help others heal from the horrors inflicted on those whose government has sent to fight its wars.
Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson
Also about redemption, and difficulty of finding it within America's criminal justice system. Stevenson, a Harvard-trained lawyer choosing to work with prisoners condemned to death in the South, is arguably America's most successful enemy of capitol punishment, as well as a gifted storyteller who will discuss his life and books at the Iowa City Book Fest this fall.
Human Voices by Penelope Fitzgerald
Paul "Prairie Mouse" Ingram of Prairie Lights Books calls Fitzgerald's recently re-printed novels "witty and politically astute," especially this one about workplace courage and cowardice in London's BBC offices during the blitz.
Everyday White People Confront Racial and Social Injustice edited by Eddie Moore, Jr., Marguerite Penick-Parks, and Ali Michael.
If you grew up in the USA, racism in one way or another has shaped your life. Thec hallenge for Whites who want to confront racism is to confront their own – over and over and over. Moore, who founded the White Privilege Conference while teaching at Central College in Pella, Iowa, and his colleagues have gathered the stories of 15 white activists who continue to battle their own prejudices and privileges even while working against them.
Body Counts by Sean Strub
Born and raised in Iowa City, Strub survived AIDS, politics in New York and Washington, and a Catholic upbringing to become a successful direct-mail fundraiser, organizer/agitator, and magazine publisher. His vivid autobiography chronicles the struggles of a young man on the verge of coming out, the protests and deaths that punctuated American life in the 80s and 90s, and the heroes and villains he met along the way (Tennessee Williams, Larry Kramer, and the closeted elected officials who voted for homophobic legislation during the day and hustled men in gay bars at night).
The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters
Another British recommendation from Prairie Mouse, in which a mother and daughter make a living after World War II in humiliating fashion (for them) by housing strangers in their home. Hijinks ensue when the daughter falls in lust with the wife of one of the paying guests.
West of Sunset by Stewart O'Nan
One of America's greatest novelists lands on Prairie Dog's Reading List for the third time. Having burrowed into the hearts and minds of cops, veterans, teen-agers, middle-aged married couples, elderly widows, and fastfood workers, O'Nan turns his keen attention to more glamorous figures, with equally astonishing results. The imagined lives of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald in their post-Gatsby years are as rich in detail as any biography, and as emotional and deeply felt as Fitzgerald's finest fiction.
You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine by Alexandra Kleeman
Dark and silly, much like most of our day-to-day lives. You might find yourself identifying uncomfortably with the main characters (named A, B, and C) as they navigate an American landscape strangely obsessed with bodies, especially those of women.
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Paying homage to James Baldwin, to whom he's often compared, and describing the mind-blowing impact of Howard University on his view of black history and culture, Coates writes with beauty and artfulness. But the power of this book lies in its unsparing anger at the country where, as Malcolm X said, "If you're black, you're born in jail."
– Prairie Dog
Krugman: What Is Conservatism?
Few can capture a concept so well as Paul Krugman. In his blog "Conscience Of A Liberal" Krugman captures concisely what conservatism is today:
The Reactionary Soul
Frank Bruni marvels at polls indicating that Donald Trump, with his multiple marriages and casinos, is the preferred candidate among Republican evangelicals. Others are shocked to see a crude mercantilist make so much headway in the alleged party of free markets. What happened to conservative principles?
Actually, nothing — because those alleged principles were never real. Conservative religiosity, conservative faith in markets, were never about living a godly life or letting the invisible hand promote entrepreneurship. Instead, it was all as Corey Robin describes it: Conservatism is
a reactionary movement, a defense of power and privilege against democratic challenges from below, particularly in the private spheres of the family and the workplace.
It's really about who's boss, and making sure that the man in charge stays boss. Trump is admired for putting women and workers in their place, and it doesn't matter if he covets his neighbor's wife or demands trade wars.
The point is that Trump isn't a diversion, he's a revelation, bringing the real motivations of the movement out into the open.
Questions Related To The Confederate Flag Situation
Celebrating our country's birthday we thought that some questions need to be asked as a follow up to the recent question that was spurred by the happenings in Charleston, SC:
"Why are government buildings in the US flying the flag from a treasonous group?"
These questions are also simple:
"Why do the governments of some states have holidays that honor traitors?
"Why are government buildings such as schools named after traitors such as Robert E. Lee or Jefferson Davis?"
"Why are there monuments to traitors to our country?"
In a stunning fallout of the racially driven murders in Charleston, SC, many Americans finally awoke to the fact that the flag of a treasonous group still flies in many places often sanctioned by the local and state governments. When Americans finally awoke to these flags flying, they also realized that the state supporting this flag is wrong.
In a similar vein, it appears to be time to examine all the state supported support of vestiges of the Confederate states. Private citizens may certainly do so if they desire, but tax money nor state approval should be given to those who committed treason. And such support definitely not go to those who supported the cause of maintaining slavery. It is well beyond time that their legacies be consigned to museums.
We do not have any Benedict Arnold Elementary schools in this country nor monuments to him. Germany has nothing honoring Rommel. Similarly, we should not have honors for men like Lee or Davis.
Corridor Home To 6 Of Past 11 Domestic Homocides In Iowa
A message from DVIP following the recent shooting at Coral Ridge mall:
Eastern Iowa – we love our communities and the quality of life we enjoy here. But we are becoming more aware of the rising rate of violence related to domestic violence, dating violence, stalking and child abduction. Out of respect for the ongoing investigation and limited information about the relationship between Andrea Farrington and the alleged assailant, this is not a commentary on that case, but a response to the escalation of violence against women in the Eastern Iowa Corridor.
Small town Iowa has always been synonymous with safe homes, but 6 of the past 11 domestic homicides in Iowa have been in the Eastern Iowa 380 Corridor or Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty, Marion and Cedar Rapids [bolding BFIA's]. The Domestic Violence Intervention Program provides the only emergency safe shelter in our eight county service area (Johnson, Cedar, Des Moines, Henry, Iowa, Lee, Van Buren and Washington Counties).
The Domestic Violence Intervention Program not only helps victims of domestic violence, but also victims of dating violence, child abductions related to domestic violence and stalking. Stalking is defined as "a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear". Over 85% of victims are stalked by someone they know—in domestic violence or dating violence, a victim is stalked by their intimate partner for an average of 21 months AFTER they leave their abusive partner. Of the 7.5 million people stalked each year in the United States, 15% of women and 6% of men have experienced stalking to the point where they felt very fearful or believed that they, or someone close to them, would be harmed or killed.
How a community responds to victims of violent crime is critical and requires an investment on everyone's part to reduce crimes like stalking and domestic/dating violence. Our communities are strong and practice a national model Coordinated Community Response, which is a series of cross agency protocols and safety measures put in place by the community— advocates, health/mental health care workers, law enforcement, courts, child welfare workers—to collectively support victims and hold perpetrators accountable. But these systems often address the back end of the problem – after the crime has been committed. Our current Coordinated Community Response models lack one key element, a Bystander Network of family, friends, neighbors and co-workers looking out for and supporting victims. Bystander support networks have the capacity to intervene and prevent these crimes through thoughtful, caring support of victims and challenges to the attitudes and behaviors that perpetuate violence against women.
To have effective community change, you need to know the facts about stalking or domestic/dating violence and how to really help someone in fear.
First, call our 24-hour crisis line (1-800-373-1043) to get real information on how you can help.
Second, with guidance from our trained staff and volunteers, talk to your friend/family/colleague about the situation in a way that is respectful to their safety and needs—they know the situation better than anyone else, and how to best keep themselves safe or the resources they need.
Third, ask what they really need; learn as much as you can from them about what they fear, what they hope for and what will change their situation for the better. And then most important – help them get what they need. Too many times we look in from the outside and make assumptions about what should happen – too many times those assumptions are wrong.
The Domestic Violence Intervention Program's mission statement is to provide comprehensive support and advocacy services. To that end, we offer training to businesses and corporations to evaluate policies surrounding workplace stalking and domestic/dating violence, what to do to help prevent an incident at the workplace and how to safety plan with your employees when violence comes into the workplace.
Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for a workplace environment safety assessment and more information on policy and training addressing stalking and domestic/dating violence in the workplace.
Situations like Andrea Farrington's are becoming much too commonplace in Eastern Iowa. We need to keep the conversation going about how we can keep victims of stalking, dating violence, and domestic violence safe.
Sometimes We Need To Laugh
Been a really bad week for those who believe that America can be what it claims to be. As with many here, the events of the week have been roiling in my mind making me wonder if it is worth the fight. Murder in a mall in the heartland, race driver mass murder in South Carolina, politicians in Washington giving away America's sovereignty in something called the TPP, all in all a bad week.
Sometimes, we just need to step back and get away from the daily grind and have a laugh.
In that vein, I stole a post from democraticunderground which did just that. A hat tip to poster Madokie for this gem of a post:
For those of us who remember, for a moment of levity. Enjoy

School Funding, Affordable College, Bipartisan Bills: The Courtney Report
Disagreements over education funding are preventing the Legislature from adjourning for the year.
Iowa families count on great local schools to give their children and grandchildren a leg up in life. High-quality schools make Iowa workers among the nation's most productive, which in turn attracts high-skill, high-wage jobs and businesses to our state.
Educational opportunity has long been a key factor in Iowa's economic growth, and economic opportunity is directly related to education funding. Funding determines if schools can pay teachers and staff, how much one-on-one attention students receive, and whether classrooms have up-to-date materials and technology. Funding will help determine the success of the education reforms launched in 2013.
Today, Iowa invests $1,600 less per student than the national average. Education leaders say a 3 percent increase in funding for our schools is necessary to prevent Iowa from falling farther behind.
Republicans, who control the Iowa House, proposed an increase of 1.25 percent five months ago. Democrats, who hold the majority in the Iowa Senate, approved a 4 percent increase earlier this year and have made several attempts to compromise since.
We are willing to split the difference by giving schools a 2.625 percent increase, which would prevent cuts at most schools. Unfortunately, House Republicans won't budge. As a recent Quad City Times editorial put it:
"Instead of doing the work of legislating, House Republicans hung fast to their session-opening position of limiting education funding to less than the rate of inflation, assuring unnecessary and harmful education cuts for Iowa schoolchildren."
So far, the House position has forced schools across Iowa to send out "pink slips" to more than 1,000 Iowa teachers. This is not the way to strengthen student achievement, Iowa communities and our state's future.
With Iowa's finances in good shape, this is the year to renew our investment in education and our commitment to a strong economy.
For many, school does not stop with high school graduation. Increasingly, good jobs require higher education or worker training. Iowans of all ages and backgrounds need access to college to build a better future for themselves and their families.
Ideally, these opportunities should be as affordable as possible. Taking on massive student debt is another roadblock to achieving success, to strengthening our middle class and to growing our economy.
Iowa students already graduate with more student loan debt than in most other states. That leads some graduates to leave the state in search of higher paying jobs elsewhere. Yet the Republican House disagrees with us on the importance of college funding.
Community colleges work with employers to address local skilled worker shortages and provide an affordable path to a four-year degree. Senate Democrats propose investing $8 million more in Iowa's community colleges. House Republicans oppose any increase.
At our three state universities, there will be a tuition freeze for in-state students for a third straight year under the Senate's budget proposal. Senate Democrats also support an increase in tuition grants for Iowa students attending our private colleges.
In contrast, the budget plan approved by the House Republicans would force students to pay even more for their college education. The House budget actually cuts funding for the University of Iowa, Iowa State and need-based grants to Iowans attending our private colleges.
The budget approved by the Senate Democrats proves we can invest in education at all levels and balance the budget responsibly. We do it with an overall budget the same size as the budget proposed by Republican Governor Terry Branstad.
As we near the end of the 2015 session, there are many bipartisan issues that have been overlooked in the Iowa House. This includes initiatives to make our communities safer, improve health care and boost quality of life that won the support of Democrats and Republicans in the Iowa Senate.
Among them are efforts to:
* Keep all students safe with adequate training for schools to investigate harassment and bullying, including alleged incidents that occur outside of school, and to impose school discipline.
* Combat human trafficking through public awareness efforts, special training for law enforcement officers and making the crime a forcible felony.
* Prohibit the use of GPS to track a person without legitimate purpose or authorization.
* Give adoptive parents time to bond with their new child by requiring businesses with maternity leave programs to give adoptive parents the same time off as birth parents.
* Improve detection of breast cancer by notifying women in their mammogram results if they have dense breast tissue, may be at greater risk of developing breast cancer and should consult with a physician about additional screening options.
* Forbid felons from receiving life insurance proceeds if they commit a violent crime against an insured person within the six months prior to the death of that person.
* Provide immunity from prosecution for possessing, sharing or using controlled substances or drug paraphernalia to assist those suffering from an opioid overdose.
The House has a second chance to reconsider these bipartisan ideas because they were included in Senate File 510, which was approved by the Senate on May 14.
Ed Fallon: Pipeline Is Assault On Land And Livelihood Of Farmers And Landowners Across Iowa
Ed Fallon To Hold Press Conference Prior To Court Appearance
On Wednesday, May 27 at 12:45 p.m. on the south side of the Polk County Courthouse at 500 Mulberry Street in Des Moines, former Iowa lawmaker Ed Fallon and his attorney Joseph Glazebrook will announce how they intend to respond to the charge of trespass against Fallon for his refusal to leave Governor Branstad's office last Monday while protesting the Bakken pipeline. Following the press conference, Fallon will appear with Glazebrook before a judge at 1:00 p.m. in Room 201 of the Courthouse.
On Monday, May 18 at 1:30 p.m., Fallon entered Governor Branstad's office and informed staff that he would refuse to leave until the Governor met with him, heard the stories of the landowners in the path of the proposed Bakken Oil Pipeline, and agreed to support the eminent domain bill (SF 506 and HSB 249). The Governor was in his office that day, but declined to meet with Fallon.
This will be Fallon's second appearance at the Polk County Courthouse in response to a principled act of conscience. The first was in March of 2012, following his arrest as part of the Occupy movement, when on October 9, 2011, Fallon and 35 others refused to leave the public space on the west side of the State Capitol to demand that all levels of government respond to corruption on Wall Street and the growing crisis of income inequality. In response to that arrest, Fallon pled "not-guilty." He was defended by Joseph Glazebrook. After a trial that lasted one week, Fallon was found "not guilty" by a jury of his peers on March 9, 2012.
"I've been thinking a lot about the best course of action to take in response to my arrest last week at the Governor's office," said Fallon. "I take the matter very seriously, and have consulted not just with my attorney, Joseph Glazebrook, but with coworkers and others opposed to the Bakken Oil Pipeline as well."
"Regardless of the outcome of Wednesday's hearing, I reiterate my commitment to doing everything I can to continue the fight against this pipeline, which is not only an assault on the land and livelihood of farmers and landowners across Iowa, but an assault on our environment and planet as well," concluded Fallon.
Fallon served 14 years in the Iowa House, from 1993-2006. He ran for Governor in 2006 and U.S. Congress in 2008. Since 2009, he has hosted the Fallon Forum, a public affairs talk show available on three Iowa radio stations and online at fallonforum.com.
Memorial Day Thoughts
We rightly turn our thoughts and our thanks to those who fought and the many who died in America's wars. Sadly, we often find out long after a conflict is over that the reason we went to war in the first place was somewhat flimsy at best.
When we ask our often times young men and women to potentially die for their country there should be two very bottom line criteria: 1) that we have exhausted all other means to achieve our goals; and
2) that those who survive will be taken care of properly.
America is once again discussing the events that led us into invading Iraq. This is good. We need open and civil discussions on the march to war so that we do not make such mistakes again. As a nation, the subject of what led us into our various wars must always be open for discussion. With hindsight most of us agree that many of the recent wars have been unnecessary. Vietnam, the Gulf War, the invasion of Iraq should be studied thoroughly to avoid making such mistakes again.
The lives of our soldiers are precious. If we ask them to potentially die, there must be good reason and only after all other channels have been used.
Our soldiers are members of families, sons or daughters, fathers and mothers. Let us resolve to ask for their sacrifice only when necessary.
For those who beat the drum for a war with Iran, will you sacrifice your father or mother? Your sister or brother? Your son or daughter? Yourself? Or would you prefer peaceful settlement be worked on before one of your family members is sent to war?
As we get set to elect new leaders, this is one question that every candidate should answer.
Have a peaceful holiday.
Independent Survey Shows Bob Vander Plaats' Irrelevance With Voters
Editor's note: With the coming of the first in the nation Presidential test Iowa caucuses, Bob Vander Plaats is moving into the role of a potential king maker within the Republican Party. Since the Republican caucuses in Iowa have a preponderance of so-called evangelical voters, Republican candidates increasingly will be coming to Iowa to kiss the ring of the Don of this sector of the Republican Party. The note below reminds us that while Vander Plaats and his ilk may hold sway of an active sector of the small turnout of Republicans on caucus night, his beliefs and tactics turn off most common sense Iowans. Kissing up to Vander Plaats may be a short term gain for a candidate but come with a long term negative.
By the way, the next public ring (or butt) kissing of Bob Vander Plaats will be July 18th at the CY Stephens Auditorium in Ames. Might be a good time for some gay weddings in the area.
Increasing unpopularity comes in the wake of Vander Plaats & the Family Leader praying for the physical harm of their political opponents
Des Moines, Iowa — Surveys released by Public Policy Polling (PPP) of Iowa voters show the irrelevance of Bob Vander Plaats in the Republican Presidential caucus, as well as his lack of influence with Iowa voters. Just 13% of Republican primary voters say his support will make them more likely to vote for a candidate in the caucus, while 17% say his support makes it less likely. Vander Plaats' approval rating with all Iowa voters is only 18%, while 36% view him unfavorably, and 46% do not have an opinion.
Progress Iowa Executive Director Matt Sinovic issued the following statement in reaction to the poll results:
"The survey results released this week by PPP show the increasing irrelevance of Bob Vander Plaats and his organization, the Family Leader, with Iowa voters. After years of working to insert their influence in political races from Presidential caucuses to local ballot initiatives, it seems that Vander Plaats' 15 minutes of fame is up. More Republicans say they are less likely to vote for a candidate than vote for a candidate based on Vander Plaats' endorsement, many Iowans have never heard of him, and those who have do not have a favorable impression."
"While Bob Vander Plaats loses relevance in Iowa politics, he and the Family Leader appear to be losing their grip on reality as well. Within the last few months, Vander Plaats and the Family Leader have prayed for the physical harm of their political opponents. The organization posted a prayer online suggesting that the organizers of the Governors conference on LGBTQ youth 'be drowned in the depth of the sea.' And Tamara Scott, a lobbyist for the Family Leader, prayed for someone to be struck down by lightning because they offered a non-Christian prayer at the Iowa Statehouse."
"The hateful rhetoric and policy positions put forward by Vander Plaats and the Family Leader have no place in our political discourse. And they absolutely do not represent Iowa values. The survey results released this week prove that Iowans have had enough of Bob Vander Plaats' divisive brand of politics."
From the PPP survey of Republican primary voters, conducted from April 23-26:
If a candidate for President was endorsed by Bob Vander Plaats, would that make you more or less likely to vote for them, or would it not make a difference?
More likely to vote for a candidate endorsed by Bob Vander Plaats: 13%
Less likely to vote for a candidate endorsed by Bob Vander Plaats: 17%
Wouldn't make a difference: 62%
Not sure: 7%
From the PPP survey of all Iowa voters, conducted from April 23-26:
Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Bob Vander Plaats?
Favorable: 18%
Unfavorable: 36%
Not sure: 46%
Progress Iowa is a multi-issue progressive advocacy organization with a network of more than 60,000 progressives. Year-round, Progress Iowa advocates for a stronger middle class, first-class public education, and fairness for all Iowans under the law.

Write Grassley And Ernst Regarding The TPP
Charles Grassley, like it or not, will be up for re-election in 2016. There is no time like the present to let him know what he should be doing for the people of Iowa. Joni Ernst is in her first months and has already taken many steps that should be making her unpopular among voters. Like it or not, they are our senators and they need to hear from us.
The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) may be up for a vote in the senate next week. My expectation, as I am sure yours is, is that Grassley and Ernst will vote for fast-tracking the TPP in lockstep with other Republicans. Remember this vote is not to approve the TPP, but to give the administration the ability to negotiate and approve the TPP basically behind closed doors. This is not what representative democracy is about.
Approving a trade pact the size of TPP in the dark just tears at all the basic tenets of democracy. From what we know TPP will affect every segment of our society. We have also learned that there are many troubling aspects to problem resolution within TPP that may overrule our laws from outside. Not a situation that America should allow itself to get into.
There appear to be many other troubling aspects of the TPP but we do not know for sure what is in this pact since all negotiations have been under super secrecy. The latest rumor is that the TPP is based on the model of the recent (2011) trade pact with South Korea (KORUS) that has been disastrous for the United States. That agreement has sent yet more American jobs offshore while greatly expanding our trade deficit. TPP will do the same on steroids. America can not afford the TPP.
Here is what I will send to our senators:
Senator __________,
I am writing to ask that you vote against fast track authority for the Trans Pacific Partnership. This trade agreement will affect all aspects of the American economy and possibly aspects of out day tot day lives. In a democracy such as ours, any act that will have this much affect on the daily lives of our citizens should have open debate so that all sides may be brought out. There should also be plenty of time and opportunity for common citizens to offer input.
Please vote against fast tracking authority for the TPP when it comes to the senate floor.
Thank you,
Here are the email links for Grassley and Ernst:

Although women represented only 28 percent of Kansas farmers in 2012 and the number of farmers is declining overall, women are ramping-up their involvement in several of the state's less common forms of agriculture. The Kansas Rural Center is one organization in Kansas that continues to advance programs to better serve the needs of this historically underserved population.
We all know a century is a long time. In U.S. agriculture the changes make it seem more like a millennium. We are aware of the obvious changes in crops, crop yields, machinery and technology, demographics, and globalization. But where and why did those changes happen and how have these changes changed, or not changed, what a farmer has become?
Record crops and low prices have farmers embracing change in 2015, with acreage shifts continuing to move fields from corn to soybeans, according to the latest Farm Futures survey.
Well, 2015 is starting out as busy as 2014 ended! I have several more upcoming programs to tell you all about in Agriculture and Horticulture. As always, you can contact me at the Extension Office for more information about these exciting opportunities coming your way!
Before we all become buried in the new year, let's look at this new beginning with a bit of humor. Plenty of people trot out their lists of resolutions. Often, such lists are as long as their arms and last as long as their pinky.
As the holiday season comes to an end, so does the entry period for the 2015 National Festival of Breads. The festival, sponsored by King Arthur Flour, Red Star Yeast and Kansas Wheat, is a national amateur bread baking competition that hundreds of bakers enter. The entry deadline for this year's competition is January 16, 2015.
Kansas Farm Bureau (KFB) and the Kansas Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom (KFAC) will host the eighth annual Be Ag-Wise professional development workshops early next year.
Happy New Year to everybody. 2014 is history and 2015 is officially here. The last year was interesting to say the least for crop and livestock producers. The drought, record high prices for protein (beef, pork, and poultry), significant declines in crop prices, record corn yields, and steep declines in fuel prices. The natural question then is what does 2015 have in store for agriculture? This list is in no particular order and accurately seeing into the future is tricky at best.
If temperatures are too hot in May and June, farmers could lose more than layers.
Do you ever drive by the USDA Service Center or the K-State Research and Extension Office and wonder what they do in there? Do you ever have a question, but aren't sure where to turn? What about wanting to improve your operation, and needing some financial assistance to help with the cost? Chances are these offices have the ability to help.
Many, many traditions are associated with Christmas – a decorated tree, colored lights, gift giving, parties and turkey and ham dinners. Most of these traditions are recent additions.
Kansas farmers' markets across the state are doing much more than just providing a fresh food source. The farmers offering their produce, as well as the consumers taking advantage of the farm-fresh offerings are also simulating the local economy. There are now 130 active farmers' markets in Kansas compared to the 26 in operation in 1987. The growth in this sector helps provide Kansans with more revenue and more high-quality food choices.
Record high calf prices and projected cow-calf profitability have many producers considering expansion. Selecting, feeding and breeding the right replacement heifers could have a large impact on future profits.
In the early 1950s the average corn yield was around fifty bushels per acre. Flash forward to 2014 and the national average yield is pegged at around 170 bushels per acre. With the exceptions of severe weather (heat and drought), on average, corn yields have increased on average two bushel per acre per year. There are many factors contributing to this tripling of average yields involving all aspects of corn production. These factors include improved genetics through convention breeding and genetic engineering; improved understanding of soil fertility and nutrients; improved equipment to facilitate all aspects of corn production; development of ...
While this past Thursday's snow made for a bit of a rough drive, it was very welcome and not just for farmers and ranchers. This snow, combined with the rain from the past week, was important and not just as moisture for winter wheat, winter canola, and next spring's planting. What are the additional benefits of this moisture that many forget about?

'Twas The Night Before Picklesburgh – 35 Foot Pickle Balloon Tethered to Ninth Street Bridge- Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is Picklesburgh this weekend. It starts Friday.
There will be a pickle juice drinking contest. Mmmmm. Maybe I can get down there and photograph some of the festivities. Heinz Pickles production
Here's a Pittsburgh Post Gazette article about it for more info. Or a video from CBS with a ton more photos of the pickle balloon.
When I saw Picklesburgh listed in the news on the computer tonight, I got in the car (about 10:15) drove downtown and put the flashers on. You couldn't go on the main part of the bridge itself said the nice security man but I walked along the walkway and took a few photos of the giant pickle balloon at night. I just thought there it would be some "fresh content" and a new topic. I hear there will be pickle cookies to eat. All kinds of pickly treat to sample.
We can discuss dill, spears, sandwich slices, chips, bread and butter or sweet pickles another time.
I like pickle relish in tuna salad. Dill spears.
One summer I made pickles when I visited my brother David in Okanogan WA and they were delicious.
My grandmother's handwritten pickle recipe is in a wooden box in my kitchen.
Two days of Picklesburgh and celebrating all things pickled.
The city at night is always magical to me.

Frank Lloyd Wright – Zeigler House- Guest Blog from Frankfort Kentucky
This afternoon my son Mark sent a few photos of the Zeigler House in Frankfort Kentucky.
Individual or group tours can be arranged with the homeowners (by appointment) and if you click the link above you can hear interviews of the owners telling what it is like to live there.
It is the only Frank Lloyd Wright building in Kentucky.
Here are the photos, thanks Mark.

Elusive Light, How it Changes Everything
New York City- Christopher Street at Greenwich Street
Formerly the Federal Archives Building built in 1899- for the history click here
Pittsburgh Skyline, Incline and Sea of Fog
Made the decision to turn right at the mouth of the Liberty Tunnel, go to Mount Washington and photograph the city in fog on the way to school this morning.
I thought the above shot was best with the gift of light on the incline car, as it prepared to head down the mountain. No tripod although there was a man with one. I stabilized my camera on the iron fence.
Of course, the light changes every moment as the sunrises in the east. All shots taken with 24-70 lens on the Canon 5D Mark ii
One vertical shot. Light and dark/ Cloud and shadow.
Trying to get the best view in the frame.
Being there. looking at the city in the fog, was a magnificent experience. The limits of photography.
It felt like being in a plane but you're standing on a concrete platform by the incline, looking at the city disappear in a foggy sea. Wasn't it just last week I was photographing the icy river and the barge lane? Today felt like early Spring.
Three young men agreed to let me capture their silhouettes. Thanks guys. I'll email them the blog post link today.
Ponka Way and Oneida Street- Feb 26, 2015 and Oct 8,1907
Almost all of our snow has disappeared this week but here's my photo from Mt.Washington, a block from Grandview where I turned from the Duquesne Incline, Feb 26, 2015.
The demolished house structure appears to be the house in the old photo below but not for certain.
Here is the link to the Oct. 8, 1907 image I found at and got permission to show on the blog to compare the two views.

Winter Sun and Shadow at School
As I arrived, I noticed sunlight.
It's been pretty gray around here. Twenty four days until Spring.
Winter City
Just the tips of the top of the PPG building, reminded me of a sandcastle at the beach.
And up over the hill, the rest of the skyline.
You can see the barge lane in the middle of the icy Monongahela River. Don't let the blue sky fool you, it was really cold.
A panorama taken with the Sony Mirrorless camera. First time I used this feature.
This was actually the first shot Monday afternoon as I pulled out of the school lot.
First time the sun had shown itself in awhile.
Snowfall on St. Peter and Paul School

The empty school sits behind the twin-spired church, the one that's closed.
I saw the architecture through the snow-

The Grand National favourite Prince De Beauchene has been ruled out of the Aintree race on 14 April after suffering a hip injury.
The Willie Mullins-trained nine-year-old was made market leader for the world's most famous steeplechase following his victory in the Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse in February. But following an unsatisfactory racecourse gallop at Fairyhouse this week, a scan revealed the gelding had suffered a hairline fracture to his hip, ruling him out for the rest of the campaign.
The owner Graham Wylie said: "He went to Fairyhouse a few days ago and Ruby [Walsh] rode him, but he wasn't happy afterwards. So Willie got him scanned and it showed that he had a hairline fracture to his hip, so he is going to need 12 weeks' box rest and unfortunately, that means he's going to have to miss Aintree.
"It's disappointing, but that's horses for you. It's better we've discovered it now than during the race. We'll give him a bit of time and hopefully he'll be back next season."
Mullins confirmed the setback on his website, stating: "Prince De Beauchene disappointed in a routine workout during the week and a subsequent veterinary examination has revealed that he has a stress fracture in his ilium. Consequently he will not run in the Grand National."
It is a particularly cruel blow for Wylie as Prince De Beauchene was due to be leased to a children's heart unit charity for the day and any prize money the chaser might have earned would have been donated to the fund.
Wylie still has a major National contender in Thyestes Chase winner On His Own and has confirmed that the horse will now run for the charity. Paddy Power bookmakers make Walsh favourite to ride for his father as trainer Ted Walsh has Seabass entered for the Aintree race.

Democratic lawmakers in Wisconsin are aiming to bolster penalties for businesses that commit wage theft, which impacts women employees at a much higher rate than men.
The Roberts Court on Monday agreed to consider limits on the ability of workers to form class-actions under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Los Angeles, the country's second most populated city, will see its minimum wage increase to $15 by 2020 after the city council voted Tuesday for the wage hike, marking a major win for labor groups and working people who have seen the cost of living rocket past their hourly pay.
A potential class action lawsuit in California accuses the retail giant of intentionally misclassifying workers to avoid overtime pay.
New York tipped workers will soon see a substantial wage increase, but the increase is not nearly enough to raise more workers out of poverty, to compensate their labor fairly, and to reduce the pressure to tolerate hostile work environments or else lose out on tips.
As part of a holiday charity campaign, the Walmart Foundation last month donated $1.5 million to food pantries across the country, while hundreds of thousands of Walmart's own workers struggle to feed themselves and their families thanks to the corporation's famously low wages.
When Sen. Warren and Rep. George Miller invited Walmart workers to brief Congress on Tuesday about the retail giant's abusive practices, the conversation was about more than just Walmart.
In a speech at Georgetown University on Thursday, Hillary Clinton said that worldwide, women's labor is often invisible because they work in the "informal economy."
The report from the Economic Policy Institute finds that the wage gap between tipped and non-tipped workers is the highest it's ever been.
While the Hobby Lobby ruling keeps the government from guaranteeing basic reproductive health care for workers, the Harris decision effectively hobbles the ability of a group of public employees—most of whom are women—to properly bargain for affordable health care along with other vital benefits.

I've gotten some good deals on salon treatments and yoga but that's about it. I remember the good 'ol days when there were some trips I wanted to book but I never got a chance to. Hope I can catch one of those again. Overall, I check Living Social just in case there's something I might like, but I don't expect to be wow'ed
so many great local deals here! quick and easy to use.
they expire quickly so you need to use them ASAP
Love groupon. Have used many for some great deals even for the kids!
My son uses livingsocial to buy gifts for me. I've no problem. I use groupon to buy self and others' gifts. I prefer groupon - he prefers livingsocial - tomato/tomato
I bought driving lessons for my son at Christmas. When he went to use them, the local driving school they were for did not exist! Nearest one about 4 hours drive away. Tried for refund by email, but they just said to phone. UK to USA phone call would have cost more than the price of the voucher. Do not touch this lot ever. Only wish I could give 0 stars here.
Great deals,I've visited places I never had before because of there great deals.
I bought a voucher for a haircut and highlights with expiry date of 6.05.15.I phoned hairdressers on 1.05 and booked for 6.05 with the voucher. When I arrived, the voucher was not accepted electronically. Somebody else with the same problems phoned and received refund from LS. When I phoned they refused refund. Customer services were as rule and unprofessional as they could possibly be. They refused to give me another phone number, e-mail address or post address, so there was no way for me to write a complaint or challenge their decision. When I said that I wanted to talk to the manager they put me on hold and never came back (paid phone calls). I bought many vouchers from LS over last about 5 years and never expected that I would be treated in such rude and disrespectful manner!
I reviewed the email regarding trip to China and no where was it stated that the cost is in US Dollars. I purchased the deal costing $2980.00 USD. My visa was charged $3529, realizing that the deal is in US dollars, I cancelled the deal and my visa was refunded $3258.00 I spoke to Living Social and they said they are a US company so all prices are in US dollars unless otherwise stated. This information is nowhere on there website or in the detailed fine print but still I am out $271.00 and Living Social is suggesting that I should go to my bank and have them refund me the difference. If you are a NON US consumer please be very careful when purchasing through living Social as you can get hosed out of your funds
Never had a issue with them customer service wise. Anytime I had a problem they solved it ASAP! :)
LivingSocial always seems to have SOME fantastic deal going on, much to my husband's dismay ;)
I tried this site, twice, yes I know, the first time I got a voucher, I did nto read the fine print and pretty much lost out on my money. The second time, I made sure to read the restrictions AND follow them, but vendor didnt honor the voucher, and the living social site wouldnt refund the cost of the voucher. If you have money to burn, this is for you, if you work hard for you money like everyone else, run, run away now.
It offers a lot of good deals, but make sure you read the fine print, because a lot of dates, days and options are not available for most coupons.
You need to read all fine print before you say you will participate in the offer, as there is often some type of catch that is not to your liking. In November I ordered a shower speaker for my daughter for $16 for Christmas. I did this on my iphone while I was on the go. Then I forgot about and when I realized I never got it I thought I must not have completed the order properly on my iphone (like never hitting submit, or send when you are moving about). Come to find out I did pay for it but it was a voucher deal apparently. You get a voucher and you have a certain amount of time to redeem your item (60 days here) and if you don't that seems to be that...in Help when I click on get a refund, it brings me to vouchers, which just tells me I'm expired. So personal. They can email me their marketing materials constantly but no reminders or vouchers via email. Yes, I made an error in reading the details instead doing it on the fly. But bottom line, I paid for something, I should have the something.
I purchased some Ballet Flats on Ebay from them before reading the very bad reviews. I chose the patent black ones from the four choices. I did not receive patent..I received reg black. I wrote them and I was told that I did choose reg...I told the woman or man that I chose patent and my invoice says so and that I would take a pic of what I order. I was ignored after this. Also she asked me to send a pic of the flats which I did. Still no response. Wow! Buyer Beware. I'm very lucky as I used my Living Social Visa to purchase. After I explained to Living Social that I did not get what I purchased...MY credit card company reimbursed me...NOT them.
Addendum: I must update and say that after I wrote this review..this company did the right thing and sent me what I really ordered. They corrected themselves..so this is the way to go. Thanks MobStub.
I bought a few things from these guys. Just make sure you use them. Definitely appauled that Groupon has a better ranking then them. I've heard more complaints about Groupon then Living Social. Anyway, just use it right away. I prefer going to sites that offer a coupons for free that are exactly like the deals from living social. I'm not too much on the bandwagon for living socials, but I don't dislike them. Just be careful cause you never when you're going to get screw up the... ya know.
The difference between LivingSocial and some other "deal of the day" websites like Woot.com is that it does not sell products. Rather, what it offers are more like gift certificates at a discount.
I orders a voucher from this company... Following instructions for my order... its was a personalised hand stand from PRINT MY PHOTO. I allow the delivery time of ten days... order hasn't arrived try to resolve this with the company myself with no joy now over a month later.. still not product... still not refund. DO NOT TRUST THE COMPANIES THEY REPRESENT
Just terrible customer service. They will repeatedly cut and paste generic responses to any emails. Good luck ever getting in touch on the phone.
They will not accept returns, no matter what the reason. Product arrived damaged or didn't arrive at all? Tough luck, you paid for it.
Bought and paid over $100 for 2 items. Received an invalid tracking number. The so called free customer number is toll free only for USA. The so called Sydney number is actually diverted to USA. Waited over 1 week for a reply when they assured it will take 5 days. Utter B.$#*!! Customer service have no idea where the product is actually shipped from. They have to email their logistics who have to email suppliers who in turn have to contact Aust post to get answer. I already spoke to Austpost who confirmed number is invalid but LivingSocial is adamant number is right. Spoke to customer service 3 times already. Product was ordered & paid for almost 6 weeks ago. Will never ever order from them again! Have just wasted over $100! They assured I can request refund but when ask again was told No.
I've used LivingSocial occasionally over about three years. Things have gone smoothly on about three occasions - the rest of the time there has always been some problem or other.
Firstly, the website is very unstable. Often, when you click on an interesting deal and then click through to "buy", the panel that is supposed to give you the discount code simply fails to appear - the text tells you to click on the code, but neither the panel nor the code is there. Sometimes I've just given up,but sometimes the deal has been so interesting that I've persisted, going back to the ad and clicking through to the 'buy' page time and time again. After many tries, the code at last appears and allows you to proceed to the purchase page. No, my computer is NOT faulty (as one LS customer service agent declared) - it works perfectly on all other online purchase sites.
Secondly, on two previous occasions the merchant has not recognised the LivingSocial deal and has charged me his full retail price on my credit card. On one occasion LivingSocial arranged for a refund, on another they said the problem was between me and the merchant and Living Social could not help me. My credit card company got me a refund, saying that they had a long history of problems with that merchant and were no longer accepting his business. So why was LS doing business with the merchant?
In spite of this poor history I recently made one last try, because the offered deal was so good. It was a deal for a TOTAL WHITE teeth whitening kit, normally about £80 - £90, for £16 plus £4.95 postage.. Again, it took me several tries to bring up the LS site page with a discount code panel, but eventually it appeared. The next day I received an emailed invoice from the merchant for the postage which was immediately deducted from my credit card account. I received the product OK, a couple of days later, but two weeks later £79.95 was deducted from my credit card account. I immediately emailed LivingSocial who emailed a reply saying they didn't accept emailed complaints and that I must phone their customer service - difficult for me because my vocal cords are paralysed (as I had said in my email to them).
I phoned as requested and was told by a very snotty (female) "customer service (!)" agent that it was not their problem and I had to call the merchant. I phoned TOTALWHITE who said that they had no knowledge of any such discount offer and my order had been treated as a normal transaction at their usual price and terms.. I phoned LivingSocial again, this time to find a much more sympathetic (male) agent who took all my details and promised to investigate the problem, to sort it out. and to email me back. Guess what? Nothing further.
I've given up, life is too short to spend hours on the phone or at the keyboard sorting out these problems - which,of course, is what these soulless internet scam artists count on. But I'm putting LivingSocial on my blocked address list and telling as many people as I can - DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS (DIS)ORGANISATION. Like the man said "If it seems too good to be true, it is." Don't buy, don't get caught.
Terrible fraudulent offers- restaurants going out of business
Love this site, use it a couple of times a month and always find good meal deals for me and my girlfriend.
I like LivingSocial but Groupon lets me keep what I paid for the dinner to use later if the discount date has passed. With Living Social, you get nothing.
When you try to redeem your Living Social voucher for the Hello Fresh food box, they trick you into an expensive subscription, keep delivering $69 food boxes and bill your credit card.. Living Social does not disclose this on the voucher.Living Social will not help you because they say their guarantee does not apply to vendors.
Tip for consumers: My daughter used a gift voucher and was billed more than $400 on her credit card before she realized she was being scammed.Ask Lois about LivingSocial
Be careful I purchased the Paintball Deal and got ripped off big time. The ad says save 88% which isn't true. It said equipment included all I had to buy was the paintballs. When I got to Mad Dogz after making a reservation for my son's birthday. They said the vouchers were only good for 500 paintballs And that's it. When the site clearly says that all equipment included for 6 people. They charged me 23.00 a person for equipment rental. Came out to 138.00 plus the 30.00 I spent on living social. Not happy at all. Called living social same day and still no return call. Be careful of Mad Dogz Paintball in Waxahachie,Texas.
I had vouchers, but couldn't book a day for service due to ignorance of the service... and living social didn't reply on my request right away (when I could ask to return money), then replied advising to contact more, but the person, answering me once after living Social contacted him, disappeared... and when I contacted Living Social again, they said "too late - the voucher expired". Another deal - they didn't mention important details about age limitation, so that voucher also was "lost money"... Also when I want to see deals in my area, they include deals 100+ km away...
I ordered a computer notepad at £149 which is not so cheap.
But they used Yodel to deliver it and Yodel staff have stolen it and shown it as delivered.
Everyone knows that Yodel are the worst delivery company and certainly the last to use for high value parcels!
Look on Youtube for Yodel employees leaving parcels on doorsteps and throwing them over walls!
Be aware that Barclaycard will not cover these losses as you pay Living Social and not the firm that supplies the product!
EDIT I contacted Living Social and they arranged with the suppliers to send me another by Royal Mail which of course arrived safely.
So I was sorted out but still sad that Yodel are so untrustworthy! Look on Youtube for videos of them throwing parcels over walls and leaving valuable goods on the doorstep.
To be up front, I have never ordered any products, ONLY VOUCHERS from reputable retailers such as Amazon, Dominos, and Davids Cookies. I have never had any issues with utilizing the vouchers and received the voucher codes as promised. A great way to save money (usually 40%-50%). Before buying a voucher, make sure you visit the retailer website to check out shipping costs.
I bought a vegetable spiraller, which turned out to be twice as expensive, because postage was not quoted on the original ad. You bought a redeemable coupon for which the link did not work. We tried so many times to contact Living Social without success. Finally they agreed that the link did not work! Over 3 months later our product arrived from a third party in China, cracked and with blades that had dislodged from the product. It was totally unusable - and guess what - we have no way to contact them in Australia. A toal waste of money, and moreso, our valuable time trying to get something we expect in Australia - CUSTOMER SERVICE!
Tip for consumers: Check who you are dealing with and beware of reedeemable coupons that you pay up front for - there are hidden trapsAsk ToniStuart about LivingSocial
Love receiving notifications daily with new deals - they seem able to find something from me every time.
I found excellent deals on trips to Italy (Florence/Venice) and Greece (Mykonos/Athens/Santorini) on this site under destinations section.
It's great! And maybe if Groupon didn't exist.... Living Social might be the cream of the crop and get that 5th star.
The site has a variety of deals, is always reliable, and has a decent interface.
Unfortunately, I don't think it has the variety of options, goods, or services that Groupon does. I find that I'm less likely to actually use some of my LivingSocial deals. LS also hasn't been great about communicating issues with redemption.
I don't like the voucher concept much. I prefer to deal with vendors directly but occasionally my wife will find a deal that even I think is pretty good. It probably helps the supplier of the goods get marketing awareness but then they stuff it up by not giving voucher holders the same benefits as their direct customers.
he's a really great website
Bought a pair of shoes and they didn't fit. I returned them with little ease, and soon got a refund.
without a doubt - the best customer service for any on line or major site! and they all sound state-side too! Wonderful service, knowledgeable, able to resolve issue first time with NO hassle. An absolute pleasure to do business with - highly recommended!
I have been a member for a while and have never had any issues, I definitely recommend Living Social
On the website I clicked on three offers in which I was interested and, although I didn't input the delivery details as I decided that I wouldn't continue with my order, I was anyway charged for these item! I noticed this only by chance when I checked my credit card statement, so, knowing that I've done this before, I checked my account details and discovered that I'd done it twice in the summer of 2014. I rang the company to see if I could get a refund for items not received I was told "No", but was able to cancel this month's transactions. It was pointed out to me that two companies were involved and I replied that this wasn't where my issue lay, but in the fact that nowhere did I see information that informed me that if I clicked on an order that I would be charged, whether I want the item or not. Other websites allow you to review your order before finally placing it. However, if this disreputable company used this system they wouldn't be able to fraudently benefit from unsuspecting people like me who don't always check their bank statements in time for a refund!!
Tip for consumers: Stay awayAsk C about LivingSocial
I have informed living social that they have a will writing business in the south, advertising that is also operating as a financial advisor. He has lost a lot of money for a lot of people, but they ignore me when I emailed and told them and also I have seen one of their sales ladies face to face and she assured me something would be done, they completely ignored me they still keep him on there so please be aware as anyone can advertise with them even crooks that are there to steal your money
LivingSocial has the best customer service of all the online deal places. After a small fiasco with a salon, LivingSocial helped me get my money back, and treated me with kindness and respect. Research the company before buying the deals, but overall they care about their customers.
These are very poorly made and a very rough finish on them . Ordered a set and paid postage to the Supplier separately . Items arrived with broken screws , and when put together so poor that if you had hot fat or water , handle would not hold any weight . I have been told I need to send them back to Supplier and pay postage again . Contract is with Living Deals but they pass the onus onto me the Customer to sort it out . I will not use this site again .
Tip for consumers: Do not use this site , only if you want a headache . They need to look after their Customers totally .Ask Mary about LivingSocial
I've been a loyal customer for years. The other day I went to book a hotel for Las Vegas and the next day it was cancelled for some reason. Called Livingsocial, they said it was a problem with my card. So I used a different card and tried again, same thing happened. I called again, got someone else who asked me to try buying it (AGAIN). She said it went through but I received no confirmation for it. She insisted that it went through, but as soon as I got of the phone with her, I got an email that it was cancelled. I called back, spoke with a supervisor who said it's a problem with the hotel. That's all he could tell me. Couldn't give me a direct number to call him back. He said he would try to figure it out and promised to call me back by 4pm the next day. I didn't really want to wait but I figured he was putting effort into it so I'd give it once last try. Of course, he didn't call me back. So now I'm stuck with no hotel 2 weeks away from the trip and $200 worth of livingsocial "deal bucks" that I never intend on using. The worst service I've ever had in my life. Hello Groupon!
I like that they are local and I like their deals pretty good. Don't really use them much mainly stick to Groupon myself
I have had some really good experiences but too many not so hot. Try to do some research on the companies first.
Does not reflect the actual available dates of services and you can not find out whats actually available until after you purchase, asked for refund and was denied, crooks!!!!
Fun site! Always love finding a great deal!
The worst customer service i ever experienced, they will never reply to your emails or any other querry. Just forget about this company and move on to other one.

Is anything more useful to you than your sight? There's no doubt that when you're out on the trail with your ATV, you've got to have clarity of vision not just to be safe, but also to maximize your fun. That's why a good pair of googles means so much. They'll keep the dust out and protect your eyes from the weather.
We have a selection of womens goggles that are perfect for any female ATV enthusiast. Above all else, we've sought out brands that deliver a comfortable fit. Our philosophy is that if you're thinking too much about your goggles, they're not doing their job correctly (even if they let you see clearly). They've got to fit nicely and feel great after hours of riding. That's why we have brands like Oakley, Scott, Smith, 100% and many others.
And yes, while our focus is always on carrying quality products we feel good about providing to our valued customers, we also know that your goggles need to look great as well. That's why we have hundreds of choices in our selection, and many of them are designed for ladies' preferences. From dark, brooding purples to bright, flirtatious pinks to practically any color or design you can think of, we've got something that's perfect for you. Just take a look to find out for yourself!

I think it would make sense to add async methods to a base class that all your SQLObject instances use. Other people might find this useful too if they are in that environment. Initially those new methods would always do everything in threads, but later you could shortcircuit cases where you knew the operation wouldn't block (like getting a cached item). Unfortunately, though, every attribute access can block. But in practice (if you aren't using expire()) it's only the foreign keys that are likely to block (but they are quite likely to block). -- Ian Bicking / ianb@... / http://blog.ianbicking.org

Electronic Arts was at the cutting edge of video games back in the 1980s. Today's EA provides games with stunning 3D level immersive experiences. In 2008 EA released a very different and modern third-person shooter, science fiction horror survival game called Dead Space. Dead Space was big, selling more than 2 million copies. In the game, players followed along literally over the shoulder of Isaac Clarke–named for science fiction writers Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke. Clarke was as an engineer on an interstellar mining starship called the USG Ishimura, where he found himself stuck with some undead creatures called Necromorphs in a setting straight out of Ridley Scott's Alien. The February 2013 release Dead Space 3 brings along with it a new graphic novel series tie-in: Dead Space: Liberation.
