Paul Tillich, in Systematic Theology, Vol. 1 (pp. 11-15), introduces the concept of ultimate concern as a way of explaining the nature of faith. One consequence of his argument is that "atheism is an ontological impossibility." That is, everyone has something that functions as a god for her or him.
After you have carefully developed Tillich's position, write an essay in which you assess its validity by exploring three of the following issues:
1. Tillich distinguishes between our process of being ultimately concerned and that with which one is ultimately concerned. Develop how one theologian represents what functions as ultimate.
2. Tillich contends his concept has moral dimensions. Consider an ethical issue and how the nature of what is ultimate would shape its analysis.
3. Tillich claims his concept "works" for all religions. Is this a valid claim or one that can be contested?
4. Tillich asserts that his concept clarifies religious experience. Does his concept distort our understanding of religion?
5. Tillich claims his concept is an interpretation of a biblical text. Is there larger warrant for that in Hebrew/Christian scriptures?
In the introduction to a book he edited on immigrant congregations, the sociologist of religions R. Stephen Warner writes:
. . . religion as understood [in this book] exists in the form not of texts but of living communities. This sociological principle stands opposed to a historically Protestant attitude, deeply seated in American culture, that holds that true religion is found only in the bible and stands outside the world.
Drawing on material covered in four of the department's core courses, evaluate this provocative statement above in respect to the relationship between religion and community (we can understand community to be broadly defined as individuals and the multiple, intersecting societies in which they live). You must make an argument that evaluates this statement using data and concepts from four core courses.
Religious persons are ever mindful of the passage of time and so seek to orient their personal lives and community histories through rituals and myths (stories of God[s], of the beginning [s] and ending[s] of time and history). That is, they bring order to the otherwise random events of their lives by framing a story for themselves, their communities, and the cosmos. They then give expression to that story (or stories) through ritual, art, doctrine, social organization, personal piety, ethical norms, and other means.
Write an essay in which you analyze and compare the different, paradigmatic approaches to time and history in ancient religion as well as in modern society, in Eastern and Western religious traditions, in contemporary theology and even in ethical thinking. Illustrate your arguments with attention not only to abstract conceptions of time but also to rituals, stories, and other phenomena that address the human need for temporal orientation.
Some Data
While the changing economic world has created significant new wealth for some people, it has not been successful in alleviating poverty in much of the world. People continue to die from treatable diseases; women and children suffer in the sex trafficking trade; and sweatshops continue to abuse workers. It is predicted, for example, that those who are most economically marginalized will suffer the most from the consequences of global warming.
This dynamic can even be seen in the United States, a highly developed, wealthy country. According to census figures and other economic data, the U.S. has been experiencing a significant rise in economic inequality since the late 1970s. Between 1979 and 2005 the real (i.e., inflation adjusted) income of the richest 0.1% of the American population grew by 296%, even though the real median household income grew by merely 13%. The most recent U. S. Census data reveal that while the richest 20% of American households have experienced a 1% growth in real income since 2000, the households that comprise the bottom fifth of the income distribution ladder experienced a 4.5% decline in their real incomes. For comparison, the real median household income in the U.S. has declined 2% ($962) since 2000. In 2006, 17.4% of all children under the age of 18 were in poverty, an increase of 10.7% since 2000.
These trends have created disproportionate burdens for people of color. In 2006, the overall poverty rate was 12.3%, while the poverty rate was 24.2% for Blacks and 20.6% for Hispanics. South Asians, who are highly educated when compared to the general U.S. population, are doing quite well economically in the U.S., partially because the U.S. accepted many Indian medical professional immigrants during the 1970s. Furthermore, Cambodians, who lack similar educational opportunities and English language skills, experience some of the highest poverty rates (around 29% in 2000). Economic bipolarity characterizes some Asian communities as illustrated by the Chinese population. A number of established Chinese professionals are currently enjoying relatively high standards of living, even though many Chinese newcomers are surviving in extreme poverty.
The lack of health insurance has become a factor in how resources are being distributed and retained. According to the Census data, the number of people in the U.S. without health insurance rose to 47.0 million 2006 (i.e., 15.8% of the population). These data also estimated that 20.5% of Blacks and 34.1% of Hispanics were uninsured in 2006 as well as 8.7 million children under 18 (11.7% of this population). The rate of being uninsured was significantly higher (19.3%) for children living in poverty.
The Question
The symbolic worldviews found within particular religious traditions and theologies influence not only how people encode and interpret data such as those mentioned above, but also how people understand what is the proper (i.e., moral) response to situations such as that described above. Write an essay which analyzes and compares four different religious interpretations and suggested responses to the kinds of developments summarized above.
Your essay should include one tradition or author found in each of the four core course that you have completed. Therefore, you will be analyzing and comparing how a particular theologian, a specific Hindu tradition, one of the Asian religious communities that has moved into the U.S., a significant tradition in Hebrew Scriptures, and/or a certain Christian ethicist would interpret these developments by placing them within a symbolic framework of religious meaning. When appropriate, your essay should consider how cultural and religious stereotypes influence this encoding process. Your essay should also analyze and compare how each tradition or religious writer would determine what would be an appropriate, that is, moral response, to these economic developments by those who accept each religious framework of meaning that you have described.

Listen to Carrie UnderwoodRadio only on iHeartRadio
Carrie Underwood may be a fashion plate on the red carpet, but in real life not so much.
She admits that she's pretty clueless about how to dress and sometimes likes to wear men's clothes when she doesn't have to be dolled up for a public appearance.
Carrie tells The Boot, "I dress like a dude. Sometimes I spray my husband's cologne on myself because it smells so good. I don't like the women's stuff, so I buy a small [size] in guy's sweatshirts."

Because freedom can't protect itself.
What's new in voter suppression land today? South Dakota is trying to prevent Eileen Janis — and hundreds of other citizens — from voting.
Eileen grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and does suicide prevention work. She registered to vote for the first time in 1984. "I always vote because my mom told me to," she says.
The dust has barely settled in South Carolina since the Department of Justice refused to approve the state's voter ID law, a discriminatory measure which would disenfranchise thousands of eligible voters, many of them African-American, elderly and young people. And yet, undeterred and brazenly determined, the state legislature is already taking another bite at the voter suppression apple.
A Florida high school teacher talks about how Florida's new law restricting third parties from registering voters suppresses registration among young people.
Terrifying is not a word I'd use to describe myself. I don't even think it's a word most other people would use to describe me. But I guess it all depends on your perspective.
I was in East Tampa, Florida a few weeks before the primary, to assess the state's new election laws, which add prohibitively onerous requirements to anyone who wants to register voters there. I was looking for people who register voters, and the people they sign up, to try to understand how the legislation will affect things on the ground.
With Florida's primary just days away, all eyes are on the Sunshine State. And in an effort to shine a light on the state's new regressive voting laws, the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights, chaired by Sen. Dick Durbin, is holding a federal field hearing today in Tampa, Florida.
Criminal disfranchisement proved to be a hot issue in the Republican presidential debates recently, leading to a CNN poll asking, "Should felons be allowed to vote after serving their sentences?"
The results showed that the majority feel that those with past convictions should have that right. The Washington Post also editorialized on the issue Friday, making the point that it is unjust to prevent "individuals from having a full stake and a full voice in the community and its leadership" after they have already paid their debts to society and earned their right to freedom.
Today voters are going to the polls in South Carolina to exercise their most fundamental democratic right: the right to vote. This week we celebrated the life and work of Martin Luther King, and in doing so we recall his championing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Recognizing the pitifully low number of blacks who were eligible to vote at that time, Dr. King believed that until all African Americans were able to participate in the electoral process, there could be no real justice in this country.
During the summer of 1964, a coalition of civil rights groups and almost a thousand student volunteers converged in Mississippi to register African-American voters. The "Mississippi Summer Project" was met with unrelenting violence: 1,000 arrests, 35 shootings, 30 bombed buildings, 35 burned churches, 80 beatings, and at least six murders. The following year, to sustain the focus on the plight of African-American voters in the South, civil rights leaders marched from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. On March 25, 1965, the final day of the march, Martin Luther King Jr. vowed to continue fighting for the right to vote, earn, and learn—all without racial barriers:
There were eight states this year that passed some version of a law requiring photo identification for all voters. South Carolina was one of them, but hopefully not for long.
The Department of Justice on Friday blocked South Carolina's law, which it said would have disproportionately affected thousands of minority voters.
In Sunday's issue of the Chicago Tribune, famed civil rights activist Julian Bond reminded us that expanding access to the ballot for all Americans has been a critical part of our country's history.
No one knows this better than Bond, who has spent much of his life advocating for the right to vote. In the 1960s, he was a founding member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which led sit-ins and freedom rides, marched on Washington and organized voter registration drives in states such as Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.

DirecTV, the largest U.S. satellite- television provider, saw its shares fall the most in more than 10 months after slower gains in Latin American hurt third-quarter profit.
DirecTV added 543,000 net subscribers in Latin America, fewer than the 585,000 estimate from nine analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Net income attributable to DirecTV rose to $565 million from $516 million a year earlier. Dish Network also reported its results Tuesday. The company lost 19,000 net subscribers in the quarter, a smaller decline than the average analyst estimate of 36,000.
Dish reported a surprise net loss of $158.5 million. Dish recorded litigation-related expenses.

Object Identification
Whilst our collections cover an enormous range of cultures, the Durham University Museums have only a small curatorial staff. At present we have staff who can help you with the identification of Greek and Roman material, Ancient Egyptian objects and coins and medals of all periods. We do NOT currently have a specialist curator of Asian objects.
Bearing this in mind, if you are interested in obtaining an identification for an object, you are welcome to contact the museums or to bring your object in and leave it for one of our staff to look at.
The identification can include (depending on the individual object):
- what the object is
- the material it is made from
- a rough estimate as to the age
- what it may have been used for
- how it got to the location where you found it, or how it was formed or made
We cannot give an object's value - this is only an identification, not an appraisal.
Below are links to some larger museums in the UK that may have staff who can assist you with objects from other cultures:
British Museum for world art and archaeology.
British Library for manuscripts and seal impressions.
Victoria & Albert Museum for sculpture, costume, furniture and woodwork.
Natural History Museum for fossil, human and animal remains.
Museum of English Rural Life, at Reading University for rural history.
Royal Armouries for arms and armour.
National Army Museum and Imperial War Museum for military history and militaria.
Museum of London for the history of London.
College of Arms for heraldic research.
The National Archives for family history.
For Museums around the UK on the web, try 24 Hour Museums.
If you find an archaeological object:
The Portable Antiquities Scheme is a voluntary scheme to record archaeological objects found by members of the public. Every year thousands of objects of archaeological interest are found mostly by metal detector users, although many are also discovered by people engaged in daily activities such as gardening or walking.
In the North-East region the Finds Liaison Officer is employed by Durham County Council.
For more information, please see the Durham County Council website.
What should you do if you think we can help you?
If you are unsure whether or not our staff can help you, it is often advisable to send us a photograph via email so that we can let you know whether or not it is worth bringing the object in for us to look at in more detail. Please also provide as much information about the object as you can, including, if possible, a detailed description, and the exact location where it was found or bought.
The email addresses for the two museums are -
email@example.com (Old Fulling Mill)
If you want to bring your object for our staff to look at:
- Please write down as much information about the object and its history as you can, including, if possible, the exact location where it was found or bought.
- Bring your object to the Oriental Museum or the Old Fulling Mill Museum of Archaeology during normal opening hours.
- Speak to the staff at the reception desk and tell them that you have an object for identification.
- The staff member will fill out our Object Receipt form and you will receive a copy to keep as your receipt.
- The staff member will take the object and any accompanying information you have and pass it to the relevant member of curatorial staff.
- We will contact you by phone or email when the identification is complete.
Identifications take on average two to six weeks. Once identified, you may pick up your object(s). Please bring your paperwork with you.
Please DO NOT post any items to the museums. We cannot accept any responsibility for loss or damage of any object that is posted to us.
Object Identification Policy
As at June 2009
Durham University Museum staff can provide a basic IDENTIFICATION of an object, to the best of our abilities and knowledge. We will not provide authentication or appraisal of an object's value or condition.
We only identify items in specific areas of staff expertise.
We may not always be able to identify an item, and reserve the right to refuse to accept or identify an object at any time at our discretion.
Objects must be left at the museum in order to be identified; curatorial staff cannot identify objects in person in the galleries.
- You will be given a receipt that you must use to reclaim your object(s).
- Identifications take on average 2-6 weeks.
- You will receive a phone call or email when your item(s) has been identified. You may then pick up your item. Please bring a copy of your paperwork with you.
- Items left over sixty (60) days after this notification has been sent may be thrown away unless other arrangements are made.
Donations of objects to the museum's collections are not automatically accepted.
- Objects offered for donation to the museum's collections must go through a separate evaluation process.
- Objects given to or left at the museum may be thrown away.
- There is a difference between donations to the museum's permanent collections and the Education Collection. Please ask for an explanation if you have questions about donations.
We do not mark, sample, destroy, or perform any other type of action beyond the normal handling required for visible observation of objects brought in for identification.
Objects will remain at the Old Fulling Mill Museum of Archaeology or the Oriental Museum while they are being identified and will not be taken to any other part of the University for identification or work by others.
Disclaimer: While the museum makes every reasonable effort to ensure the safety of objects left for identification, the owner accepts full responsibility for the action of leaving the object(s) for identification and will hold the museum blameless in case of damage or loss. The owner is responsible for reclaiming the object within sixty (60) days of receiving notification of the results of the identification. The museum reserves the right to dispose of objects not claimed within sixty days following notification, unless other arrangements are made.
Neither Durham University or individual members of staff can accept liability for opinions given on objects submitted for examinations, or for information provided. We cannot give valuations and do not provide certificates of authenticity.

Cost of borrowing for UK Government rises after fiscal cliff reprieve puts investors in optimistic mood and boosts equities
By Hugo Duncan
The interest rate on UK government debt climbed above 2 per cent for the first time since May amid mounting optimism over the health of the global economy.
The 10-year gilt yield – the amount the Government pays to borrow – hit an eight-month high of 2.06 per cent and the FTSE 100 index ticked another 19.97 points higher to 6047.34.
Analysts put the rise in borrowing costs down to a brighter outlook for the global economy in the wake of Barack Obama's last-ditch deal to stop the United States falling off the so-called 'fiscal cliff'.
On the rise: A report by the Bank showed lending to big business and households, rose sharply in the final quarter of 2012 thanks to Funding for Lending.
Experts warned that the agreement was only a short-term fix and set the scene for a bitter clash over spending cuts next month when a deal must be done to raise America's £10trillion debt ceiling.
But it was enough to tempt investors to sell safe-haven assets such as UK government debt, pushing the yield higher, and plough money into more risky areas such as the stock market.
Vicky Redwood at Capital Economics said: 'There seems to be a more optimistic mood in the markets, helped by the partial resolution of the fiscal cliff. So the same factors that have pushed the FTSE above 6,000 have pushed gilt yields over 2 per cent.'
The rise in interest rates also came amid signs the Bank of England's money-printing programme – through which it has pushed yields down by buying £375billion of government debt – was coming to an end.
A report by the Bank showed lending to big business and households, but not small businesses, rose sharply in the final quarter of 2012 thanks to Funding for Lending, suggesting that further bond-buying may not be needed.
But while the outlook for the UK and global economy appeared to brighten, worries about Britain's AAA credit rating may also have nudged gilt yields higher.

Thread: replacement for fish
Boost your neons. They'll look great.
I wouldn't put cherry barbs in a 20G. I have a very large school in a 30G and wouldn't now like to see them in smaller groups or a smaller tank. They can get quite bulky. Some of my larger males are nearing 2 inches."Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan
havn't went to action yet but what about albino kribenisis.
pair or just one?
The cardinal tetras I've seen have more red on them than neons. I think they're a prettier fish. A small school would look very nice in your tank.
20 gal. high: planted; 1 zebra danio, 6 glofish, several snails, 2 (visible) RCS; AC50, Azoo air. 65 gal: planted; 4 rosy barbs, 6 glofish, 5 white cloud minnows, 3 zebra danios, 5 dojo loaches, several snails; AC110 x 2.
no to the kribs.
no to any dwarf cichlids
no to any cichlids in general
your current stock allows for increasing those numbers. neons get stressed by bigger fish. as you've seen with your gourami.
other big fish will create that same exact environment
the only thing to do is boost your neons and keep the tank healthy.
You might want to consider rehoming your Neons.
You seem to be intent on changing the themeing of your tank, and the Neons do not seem to fit in the new plan.
If I am reading you wrong, I mean no offense, but the others are correct. No to everything else... you need to increase your Neon school size. Six is a school for some species, but Neons want more...
I have my Neons with a Betta and some big BA tetra, but my tank is a little larger, it has a LOT of cover and hiding places, and it took a good deal of effort to find the right fish with the right temperament to live together.Looks about 40 Gallon Tank
Red Male Betta, Female Bettas, Buenos Aires Tetra, Neon Tetra, Harlequin Rasbora, and Otocinclus
Wisteria, Amazon Sword, Java Fern, and my unstoppable Trumpet Snail Army
Looks about 75 Gallon Tank
Dry and Empty
Agreed with the above, for the most part. If you added a cichlid of any kind, you'd be changing the dichotomy of the tank. Right now, sub-Gourami, you have a peaceful tank. If you want a peaceful tank, I'd take back the Gourami (even though I've had great experiences with them), keep the rest of the stock you have, increase the neon school (or change to cardinals) and increase the Oto school.
You could add a Betta and have success... or you could end up with another bully that'll terrorize your tank, because they, like Gouramis, are extremely territorial (though temperaments do differ across the species).
If you wanted something a little less peaceful, you could certainly remove your stock and add a pair/harem of GBRs or Bolivians. Then maybe a few of Killifish. I think you'll be happy with a large school of Neons or Cardinals, though.

My Appearance Before the ETHI
On June 12th, I was called to appear before the Standing Committee on Ethics, Accountability & Privacy in a hearing on privacy and social media. I told the Committee that 'big data' is the 'new sugar' and that we stand at the precipice of what one might call the 'late onset diabetes' of the information age.

Good kit for starters.
Sep 27, 2009
By Jose Koenig "Joe Raven"
I have to say that for the price is an excellent starter's kit; however if someone needs to get serious about painting with airbrush systems in a frequent basis then this system will not make the cut. Here are the reasons: a)the compressor tends to overheat after extended periods of use b)the airbrush is good for detailed paintings that require low air pressure, but is not adequate for spraying larger areas quickly. The airbrush did not come with cleaning instructions so whomever wants to buy this kit I recommend to do some research on how to clean and maintain this product. Our airbrush got clogged after six months and we had no idea how to take it apart or clean it so we ended up buying another airbrush with better maintenance instructions.

Works good after having to fix it myself....
Jul 15, 2010
By Chris M. Sigmon
When I received the airbrush set I was estatic. I got it out and followed the little directions that I had recieved with the airbrush and it wasn't working.... So I had to get my dad, who is familar with airbrushes because he paints cars for a living, to come and set it up. Well we achieved to get air flowing out of the compressor and then the Master airbrush itself was not working correctly... So we had to pull the airbrush apart and put it back together to get the trigger to work correctly. It seems as though the piece that secures the trigger was loose so it was flopping back and forth. Finally when we got everything together it worked perfectly I have no complaints about its performance but the setup was ridiculous... It was shipped in a timely manner so I have no complaints about that either. Just expect to be calling support when you recieve you set. All in all it was a great price for what you get, I bought this set with the pearl food coloring as well. I am mainly going to be using this set for decorating cakes. I also wanted to note that it states in the directions not to use the compressor for more than 10 minutes at a time and to take a 15 minute break before using again. I Think this set would be perfect for personal and commerical use.
I've had this airbrush set for around 3-4 months now, and it is still chugging along! I did have a mishaps with it (My fault), the needle became logged in the tip somehow. Which I'm guessing is a result of my two little brothers messing... Anyways, I started tapping the needle on a table to try and jiggle it loose, so I could get the tip out. This was definitely a no no, the top of the needle bent, rendering the needle useless. Lucky enough, it is super easy to fix and get replacement tips for this airbrush. This same company, TCP Global, sells the needle kits. .2 Needle, Nozzle, Cap Kit G22,G23,G24,G25,G26,G34,G39 This is the link to the needle kit that I purchased, and It works well with this airbrush (G22 Model). I'm changing my rating to 5 stars because I feel that this has been a very reliable product, despite the first hiccups I had with it. I use it all the time, and it has held up very well. I can also state that this compressor has a considerable amount of power to it, I have air flow set very low on it. (I can't speak for other airbrush machines) But I feel that if you are not needing a heavy duty compressor like this one, you could get away with a cheaper set. I personally have fallen in love with this machine, it makes my cake decorating life easier. If I am using fondant on a cake and the color is super hard to get, I airbrush that junk! It is so convenient to just airbrush a deep purple, blue, or even red on the cake instead of.... Kneading, kneading, and more kneading. I also have to note that I still have all the airbrush colors close to full, those that came with this kit. I've used them so much but there is still a ton there. The only thing that doesn't last as long is the white pearl. I bought the pearl "set" which come in a couple of different colors in littler tubes and it was gone in no time. Instead of buying the pearl set I would buy a large bottle of regular, and metallic pearl. This should cover all your pearling needs! I haven't really used any of the colored pearl tubes, and the tint of the colored pearls doesn't add much to the cake.

Cake Decorating Airbrush

CAKE DECORATING AIRBRUSH KIT with 12 Food Colors and Air Compressor
Being a Cake Decorator...I really love the control on this airbrush...the fact that you can set your PSI to the pressure that will not blow a whole in your icing is GREAT! I really do like the fact that it is small and compact...I have not been disappointed with mine. I have had it over 6 months now.

Frustrating and usefull
Feb 07, 2012
By Charles E. Sutherland "Charles E"
First prepare yourself, the reviews are correct there are no instructions and sending emails to the manufacturer in England is null. Go through the equipment slowly on one of the parts sheets you will have the name of the shipping company Global something or other, sorry for the dissatisfaction with them as their help is about whether you are bothering them or not and if they are getting off work early or not. Anyway I digress in anger and frustration and I want to help.
First place everything in front of you, the large object with the gage on it will screw on to the compressor, now there is no red insert to protect the threads and if you are in a hurry you may overlook it, so take a deep breath exhale slowly and slowly rotate until you see the whole, that done now carefully tighten, DO NOT over tighten, it should be perpendicular with the air release on the bottom. if not a 33 degree angle is permisable Now carefully take the gage off again open the plastic bag and remove the white tape, apply as necessary to the threads, after 4-5 turns tear the tape and replace the gage.
Now looking at the gage you will see a RED ring, loosen this ring, gently but firmly push down or pull up so the knob turns, now plug the compressor in attach our 6 ft hose, add the appropriate hnd gun, turn on the compressor and adjust the pressure you desire. once done screw the lock ring down. there you go you are ready to play with your new toy.
Sure hope this helps, because both the manufacture and the shipping company are only interested in one thing the MONEY. ANY American manufactures there I know we can do better.

Let Iron Man, Captain America and the rest of the team take the lead this birthday. Try these Avengers party ideas for an out-of-this-world bash for your little superhero!
Call all of the birthday boy's mighty friends together with Avengers Invitations. When sending out your invitations, pop in the included save-the-date stickers. Your guests can put the stickers on their calendars to remind them of the upcoming party!
Add some Avengers confetti and tattoos to the inside of the envelopes to get the kids pumped for the party! Tell your guests the tattoos are secret passes they need to wear to the birthday bash.
Rally the troops in person by hand-delivering your invites and adding a tie-on favor that your guests can wear to the party! Just punch a hole in the corner of the envelope, then attach an Avengers Wristband with curling ribbon.
Say thanks for the heroic help with some Avengers Thank You Cards. In each note, include a photo of the birthday boy opening the gift that guest brought, or a picture of the heroes together in their Avenger masks! Guests will love having a memento from the party to remind them of the fun time they had.
It's a battle of Good vs. Pinata! Let kids practice their attack moves on an Avengers Pinata that will explode with the sweet treats and toys you tuck inside. Smaller kids can take turns pulling the strings to see which one releases the treats.
Avengers assemble! Bring the heroes together to play the Avengers Party Game, a superhero twist on Pin the Tail on the Donkey. First blindfold guests, then let them take turns trying to land a star sticker on Captain America's shield.
Kids will feel like they're part of the action with all their favorite heroes behind them! Turn the fun into a photo shoot with our Avengers Scene Setter and you'll do double-duty by making memories and keepsakes at the same time.
Let your guests continue the adventure even after the party is over with an Avengers Favor Container! Just fill the bucket with special Avengers treats and your Iron Men and Incredible Hulks are sure to go home happy.
Reward your heroes with an Avengers Favor Cup filled with themed goodies. Fill your cups with paper shred and tuck in favors, then slip the cup inside a clear bag and tie shut with curling ribbon. The reusable favor cups will be a fun reminder for guests after the party's over!
Save the day – and some time – with an Avengers Favor Value Pack! After a quick assembly you'll have enough goodies for eight guests to take home.
Deck out your home with Avengers decorations to take the party to a new level of awesome! Make your superhero team feel right at home by mixing and matching blue, red, and Avenger themed party supplies.
When your guests need to replenish their powers, they'll swarm the table for snacks. Meet them there with Avengers tableware and themed favors at each place-setting.

Written on 11/4/2011, posted to Yelp same day: http://www.yelp.com/biz/best-buy-san-francisco#hri
Seriously, I get it, I really do... I summon you when crap breaks, it takes 4 days baring the harsh conditions of California, for you to get here. Sir Geek of Squad doesn't have the device in his grand chariot to replace whatever broke, after all, who can carry as many parts in a chariot as there are t.v.'s and models? So it takes a week to get the part, even though I, in all my female glory, informed you that it wasn't the d*mn power supply...I get that too.
But to come back the second time, put in a new supply of power, have it not work, and put the old one back in, and tell me that it's something else? You told me that it was DEFINITELY the power supply, because I asked you thrice, and since you're the Knight of Shining Repairs, and you've been doing this for 20 years, I should be wrong. Heck, I even asked you what happens if that wasn't the part that needed to be fixed, and you told me not to worry about it because it definitely was the power supply.
So now we wait another week. Wednesday will be your third time here, Best Buy. What happens when this isn't the magical part either? Or it's some combination of the two, or *gasp* perhaps a third variable?! This question could not be answered by Sir Geek Squad. He just says that it will defintiely fix the problem this time. Oh Best Buy, why do you whisper these sweet nothings into my ear? Over my lifetime, I have invested thousands of dollars into your enterprise, and this is how you treat your beloved?
We are dissapoint, so Sir Rob summons the almighty customer service. Of course you tell your co-horts that there is nothing that they can do, even if Sir Geek Squad ends up coming back a 5th or 6th time, should we plan on having him over for Thanksgiving dinner?
Almighty service of customer, you inform us of your policy, which was not in your finest of prints, that it is Sir Geek Squad that is the master decider of our t.v.'s fate or repair, or replacement. If he keeps coming back to try new parts, he can do so at his discretion. Also, you inform us of a 'work order scheme' in which there has to be 4 'work orders' before you will replace the t.v., and even though Sir Geek Squad will be here 3 times, we are still on 1 work order, because it is the "same problem."
Although we are rich in values, we are not rich in fortune, and embracing with my love in front of your hypnotizing box has taken place of going out to the cinema, or dining at a decent establishment. As an added bonus, we cannot make use of the Xbox that we saved money for many, many moons ago. I was in the middle of re-discovering far away lands on a classic you may have heard of: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Our month of Netflix is being wasted.
You see, this is a way bigger problem than just repairing our t.v., almighty one. You are also depriving my beloved and I from fully enjoying our purchase, which you garunteed.
Why oh why, Best Buy, do you cause us such anguish?
Alas, we are grateful and appareciate that we have such a magical device in which to provide us entertainment, but you, Best Buy, should be grateful and appreciate that we have invested so largly into your kingdom over the years, and in the protection plan. You should provide us the service to maybe borrow a tv in a sense, and your Squad of Geeks can haul it back to you in their grand chariot if they ever fix our magical box.
P.S. We just got a phone call from you, and you said, "What's the point of having the Geek Squad come out tomorrow when the last part we THINK we need won't be here until the 23rd?" Isn't that the day before Thanksgiving? (and that's just when the part gets in, who knows when you would send someone out here) We moved 3,000 miles away from friends and family. It's just my husband and I out here in CA and we won't even be able to watch t.v., and we haven't been able to for 3 weeks?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello atlantisangel98-
Allan from our Social Media team, will be reaching out to you regarding your concern. Thank you for your continued patience!
Ryan|Senior Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate |
I really, really hope so. I hope that that doesn't take eons too.

Hi atlantisangel98,
Oh whilst thou ever find it in your heart to forgive our neglect of your magical box, and from me I can purely express my sincerest remorse that your Knight of Shining Repairs hast been found to be incapable of rendering this magical box complete once again. I will resign myself to delighting in your wonderful expression of concern, while at the same time remaining remorseful for any failures on the part of Sir Geek Squad.
It would be found neglectful on my part if I was to ignore your brilliant words, and the above paragraph was in no way meant to make light of your TV repair. It sounds like you have been through quite a repair experience, and I honestly am sorry that this technician has not been able to repair this TV.
I would like to look into your repair, and see if there is something I can personally do to get this resolved for you. I am sending you private message to gather some personal information. To check your messages you should log into the forum, and then click on the letter icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
Thanks for posting,
Allan|Community Connector | Best Buy® Corporate |
I will update this forum as well as Yelp to show that this has been resolved, and my appreciation for your attention. Allan provided a personal touch, as well as personal attention to getting this issue resolved, and I am grateful and appreciative for them making this right. Thanks again.
Yup..5th time dude was here..our tv finally worked, yay! NOPE... tv worked for 3 hours NOW IT'S THE SAME CRAP HAPPENING AGAIN!!!! REALLY???
Hi atlantis! Ouch thats not cool that your TV is broken. I don't know what I would do without it honestly since its my connection to what is happening in our world. Hopefully something can be done about this quickly and you are happily watching TV again.

Who wins, who loses on jobs report?
A surge in the hiring of temporary workers bodes well for staffing stocks but is terrible news for the for-profit education sector.
By Igor Greenwald, MoneyShow.com
This economic recovery may yet prove all too temporary, but for now its reliance on temps is one of the more impressive lines on its resume.
Temporary employment added 45,000 jobs last month, accounting for nearly 20% of February's unexpectedly strong gain of 227,000 nonfarm payrolls.
These are, in most cases, far from plum assignments, and perhaps no more materially rewarding, on average, than the 41,000 net new jobs in eating and drinking establishments or the extra 12,000 positions in social services.
But gains in temp jobs are a sign that employers are pursuing opportunities and projects too taxing for the size of their workforce. That often leads to the eventual hiring of more permanent workers. So temp jobs are a widely followed leading indicator.
Last month's increase was the biggest in more than two years. It's worth noting that the prior stretch of such strong demand for temps, in late 2009 and early 2010, marked the transition from the heavy job losses of the Great Recession to the subsequent modest recovery.
January 2010 saw a net loss of 40,000 jobs despite the gain of 58,000 temp positions. But March and April of that year averaged more than 200,000 net new jobs apiece, rising to more than half a million additional payrolls in May.
Then Greece made the news and things cooled off in a hurry. But the spike in temp hiring did anticipate a broader turn for the better, and may do so again.
This should be very good news for staffing stocks, which in the past have seen big run-ups throughout an expansionary hiring cycle. Yet so far, there's been surprisingly little action on that front, despite the fact that industry leader Robert Half International (RHI) is expected to post a 30% earnings gain this year, followed by a 27% increase in 2013.
Robert Half's revenue was up 14% year-over-year last quarter, but the stock has been range-bound this year after a nice pop last fall -- though it's hardly expensive at 13 times trailing cash flow, given its growth rate. That cash flow was 82% higher in 2007 than in 2011, hinting at the stock's potential should the economy continue to improve.
And Robert Half has done a lot better than Manpower Group (MAN), whose stock remains down 32% from April's high, and more than half from its 2007 peak. Manpower has much lower margins than Robert Half, but also a less demanding valuation at less than six times trailing cash flow. That cash flow was 43% richer in 2007.
Manpower also has an interesting chart, with a picture-perfect double bottom last fall and recent consolidation on reduced volume right along its declining 200-day average, which is about to be pierced by the rising 50-day from below.
Kelly Services (KELYA) is a small-cap stock in the same field, and it hasn't done much of anything lately, either. Revenue was up 12% last year, and the stock sells for 11 times this year's estimated earnings and nine times the forecast for 2013.
Meanwhile, another set of stocks inversely correlated with the state of the job market has already been pink-slipped by many investors in anticipation of continued hiring.
The for-profit education group has been getting Ds and Fs ever since University of Phoenix operator Apollo Group (APOL) cut its enrollment forecast on February 29, blaming first and foremost "the improving labor market."
The potential students targeted by the for-profit schools are finding increased opportunities in the workforce, and the industry is starting to suffer the inevitable letdown after racking up enrollments when jobs were harder to come by.
While valuations are cheap, this could prove to be a classic value trap as sales slump. I'd rather bet on record highs for staffing stocks than on a recovery by the for-profit education group to levels that prevailed just a few months ago.

Weddell Island
Trip Ideas
On the southwestern edge of the archipelago, sprawling Weddell Island is the Falklands' third-largest island, with a representative sample of wildlife and an intriguing history. Like Saunders Island, Weddell belonged to Scottish estanciero John Hamilton, and he and his managers undertook audacious agricultural experiments here.
Some of these projects, such as replanting native tussock grass, cultivating experimental forests, and diversifying the livestock with dozens of Highland cattle and more than a hundred Shetland ponies, were commendable even if they met limited success. Others, such as introducing Patagonian foxes, were foolish; expected to provide pelts, the proliferating foxes not only caused high lamb mortality but also preyed on bird eggs.
Like Saunders, Weddell became Argentine property, but after the war it was sold to its resident managers; it has since changed hands again to a British owner.
Visitors can go to Loop Head, the best wildlife site, for its gentoo and Magellanic penguins, giant petrels, great skuas, night herons, and striated caracaras. Open to visitors once again, the island offers self-catering accommodations at Mountain View Cottage (tel. 42398).

HB30 by Washburn
I used to buy guitars based on their price tag. An expensive guitar must be a great guitar right? I then realized that amazing tone and playability can come from guitars without the marquee name on the headstock. This leads me to what will undoubtedly be my next major instrument purchase, Washburn's HB30.
I've long been a fan of the Gibson ES-335, mainly because it was Nick McCabe's main guitar for the early Verve recordings, but it was also in the arsenal of legends like Chuck Berry, B.B. King and Eric Clapton. It's also been a large component in the sound of another of my favorite bands, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. However, a new Gibson ES-335 costs $4,000-$7,000 which makes me want to look at it a lot more and play it a lot less.
I've played the Gibson ES-335 and the Washburn HB30 is a serious rival at a much lower price. All of the elements are there; thick maple semi-hollow bodied sound, extremely comfortable neck and great diversity in tone. However, the HB30 comes with a $700 price tag making the inevitable scratches and dings that come with regular use a little bit more bearable. Although it may not have the glory or prestige of the Gibson, it is a great workhorse guitar that will sound amazing for many years to come and I can't wait to use it on the projects I'm currently working on. Stay tuned, demos coming soon!
