Take promotional videos in Galway for instance. Did you know that 45% of businesses use promotional explainer videos on their home page? Furthermore, that 83% of those businesses in Galway believe those videos to be effective for their marketing?
The Awesome Benefits of Promotional Videos
You can use promotional videos to serve a number of purposes on your websites such as Mission to Lars
- Your company by educating visitors on its history, focus on philanthropy, strong leadership, or some other meaningful segment worth highlighting.
- Your products (through demonstrations, 360-degree views, etc.).
- How a service works to improve the lives of customers.
- A new product, service, or an otherwise big change for the company that promises to have a positive impact on customers.
Those are just the things you can do with a promotional video in Galway. But what about the benefits?
Outshine the competition
Because promotional videos allow you to get up close and personal with your visitors, you're giving them a chance to see something that your competition hasn't been as transparent about. When it comes time to compare the two, there'll be no question in their minds as to which is better… because they've seen yours in action.
Promotional Videos deliver the best sales pitch, every time
Humanize your brand
If you use real people within your promotional videos in Galway, you're giving your audience a chance to put a face to all those words and images on your site. Even if you choose not to show off your CEO or the people doing the work behind the scenes, including a strong human element may be enough to help visitors more strongly connect to your brand. That's not something that's so easily accomplished with content alone. If you want them to see your true personality, promotional videos are a great way to do it.
Maintain eye contact
You wouldn't go about creating content if you knew your visitors weren't interested in it, right? Say you discovered that they just really didn't dig infographics. You probably wouldn't spend the money or time to create them then.
Cover your bases
On a related note, 25% of consumers lose interest in a website if there's no video on it. Even though that's only a quarter of your audience in Galway, it's still a sizeable enough chunk to inspire you to get video on your site ASAP
Speak their language
For many service-based businesses, it can be difficult to explain to prospective customers what you do or why they may need your service. This is especially true for technology companies trying to cater to an older audience. What you can do, then, is simplify your business and use a language they understand.
Start the conversation
When your site is new or your brand unheard of, a promotional video can take your visitors from feeling like they've entered a completely alien terrain to feeling like they're at home, chilling on the sofa with their best friends. If done right, you can use a promo video as a conversation starter and open the lines of communication by welcoming your visitors to your site.
Give mobile users more shareable content
Videos, in general, are an incredibly shareable content type. They've actually proven to be even more popular with mobile users as 92% of people who watch videos on their phones share them with others. By using a responsive video gallery plugin on your site, they'll basically have no excuse to not share yours.

Except for Daphne Guinness ...
This is a continuation of the thought expressed in the SJP article. About no one really bringing it. But for Daphne Guinness. She's 43. An artist, an heiress, once married to a Greek shipping tycoon, these are the people who exist on yachts and in castles, who can afford to scoff at the lowly celebrity and her need to hustle even though their own lives are filled with the kind of depravity money is supposed to clean.

Harvard has won three of four matches to move to 3-3 in the Ancient Eight (Gil Talbot).
ITHACA, N.Y. – The Harvard women's volleyball team racked up 12.5 blocks en route to a 3-1 victory at Cornell Friday night, its third win in four matches. The victory came by set scores of 25-19, 25-23, 25-27 and 25-20.
Harvard's (6-11, 3-3 Ivy League) 12.5 blocks marked the team's sixth double-digit block performance of the year and its second in three matches. The Crimson defense was led by Caroline Holte who notched six blocks as Cornell (5-12, 1-5 Ivy League) was limited to a .138 hitting percentage. Taylor Docter and Jennifer Shults added four blocks each with Kristen Casey and Natalie Doyle recording 14 digs and 13 digs, respectively.
Docter scored a team-high 14 kills and added one ace, moving her past current assistant coach Christine Wu '12 for sole possession of sixth place on Harvard's all-time list with 94 career aces. Kathleen Wallace totaled nine kills while Caroline Walters added eight and hit .467 on the night. Both Erin Cooney and Shults notched seven kills.
Cornell was led by Kelly Marble who recorded 18 kills and Breanna Wong who totaled 12.
Harvard battled back from an early 7-3 deficit and evened the first set at 17 on the strength of a 4-0 run. Consecutive errors by the Big Red gave the Crimson its first lead of the night, 19-17, and a kill by Docter made it a 7-0 run to give Harvard a 20-17 advantage. The Crimson finished the frame with a 5-0 spurt as Shults scored set point, 25-19.
The second set went wire-to-wire as the teams traded the lead five times and found themselves tied 13 times. With the score even at 22, Harvard took the lead for good on a Cooney kill and the junior added two more kills for set point, 25-23.
Set three was just as close and featured eight lead changes and 13 tied scores. Harvard held a 24-23 margin following a Wallace block but the Big Red rallied to score the final three points to take the win, 27-25.
Harvard opened a 12-10 lead in the fourth set after a Walters kill before Cornell scored three straight points for a 15-13 advantage. Harvard responded and evened the frame at 16 on a Docter kill, and consecutive blocks by Holte and Shults moved the score to 18-16 in favor of the Crimson. Cornell pulled to within one, 21-20, before a 4-0 run by the Crimson was punctuated by one final kill from Docter for match point, 25-20.
Harvard returns to action tomorrow as it takes on Columbia at 5 p.m. in New York City.

N Loyall McLaren JLhe death of N. Loyall McLaren at his home in Green-brae, California last October 23 at age eighty-five brought to a close an unusual career in the public accounting profession and in the history of Haskins & Sells. To his host of friends and acquaintances, Loyall was a personality who stood out from the crowd, a man to remember. As Michael N. Chet-kovich, the Firm's managing partner, told H&S Reports at the time of Loyall's death: "We have lost a really great and unique personality. People like Loyall McLaren come along once in a lifctimcy ~-«©fcjttsC?generation. He had such an unusual combination of talents." An account of his life and work, in outline form, begins to delineate the man. Loyall was born in San Francisco in 1892, the son of Norman and Linie Loyall Ashe McLaren. Never caring for his given name, Norman, he preferred to be called Loyall, a family name on his mother's side. He attended the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut and then the University of California, Berkeley, from which he received a bachelor of arts degree in 1914. After college Loyall started out in investment banking as a clerk. After three years he joined the public accounting firm of McLaren, Goode & Co., founded by his father, and became a partner in 1920. By 1928 he was president of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants. The next year he was coauthor of a book, California Tax Laws of 1929, withVincentK. Butler, Jr. In 1936 he wrote Income TaxManagement for Individuals withB. J. Feigenbaum, and in the same year he served as vice president of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In 1941 the AICPA elected him president and in 1962 awarded him an honorary life membership for his many years of service in the profession. In 1942, after the United States entered World War II, Loyall McLaren went on active duty as a commander in the United States Naval Reserve. The following year'he became a captain and served as chairman of the New York division of theTTavy Price Adjustment Board. He retired from active duty as a commodore at the end of the war and was promoted to rear adrrm-aTuTthe inactive reserve in 1956. In 1945, while still with the Navy, Loyall McLaren was called upon to return to San Francisco from New York to serve as treasurer of the United Nations Conference Committee, which laid the basis for the permanent establishment of the UN. In that same busy year, he was also chosen by the government to go to Moscow as accounting adviser to the United States delegation with the Allied Commission on Reparations. Shortly afterward, he was a member of a group of four authorities appointed by Congress to survey the operations of the Internal Revenue Bureau (now the Internal Revenue Service). He also wrote another book, Annual Reports to Stockholders, which won the 1948 AICPA award for the best book in the accounting field. In 1952 Loyall was senior partner of McLaren, Goode, West & Co. when it merged with Haskins & Sells, bringing sixteen partners into our Firm. Of that number, only managing partner MikeChetkovich and Lorin H^iZilsem, now partner in charge of the Los Angeles office, remain active in H&S. Other present H&S partners who joined our Firm with the merger are Charles G. Steele, Robert L. Steele and Richard B. Keigley, Executive Office; Terence F. Healy, Portland; SigO. Joraanstad, Seattle; John C. McCarthy, PIC of our Boston office; and DeWitt C. Warren, San Francisco. From every point of view, the McLaren, Goode, West & Co. merger was one of the most significant in the history of H&S. Loyall McLaren continued in active practice until. 1958, but in the years since that date he was retired in a formal sense only. He came to the San Francisco office almost daily, and kept busy at his desk surrounded by photographs of people and mementos of associations that had kept him busily involved through many decades. Right until the end, he was enthusiastically active in many social and charitable organizations. Through this involvement with hundreds of people in the San Francisco Bay area and elsewhere who knew him, he was a goodwill ambassador for Haskins & Sells. An account of Loyall McLaren's significant activities and awards would require pages, but a few highlights will indicate the breadth of his interests. Until his retirement in 1973, he served as board chairman of the Irvine Company, a land, commercial and development corporation which owns more than 80,000 acres in Orange County, California. During the same period he was president of the James Irvine Foundation, which owned 54 percent of the stock of the Irvine Company and distributed all of its multimillion-dollar annual income to California charities. He served at various times as a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco; the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway; the Pacific Telephone Company; the Rheem Manufacturing Company; and Air California. To name only some of his community-service activities, he was a member of the executive committee of the San Francisco Community Chest (1934-1942) and in 1939 he was a committee chairman for the Golden Gate Exposition. In the late 1940s he served as chairman of the California State Harbor Commission. In education, he served on the advisory council of the School of Business Administration of the University of California, as a regent of the University of San

Perhaps you haven't been following the story, but the marital infidelity website Ashley Madison suffered a security breach in July by a hacktivist group called Impact Team in which all its account records were stolen. At first Ashley Madison's parent corporation Avid Life Media tried to claim its data remained secure, but it later emerged that Ashley Madison's client database was completely compromised. For the uninitiated, Ashley Madison hooks up marrieds who want to have affairs, and while most sensible people would think that's a terrible idea, the site had generated millions of clients. Impact Team demanded the site be shut down or all the user records would be published, and yesterday the group made good on that threat and posted 9.7 gigs of records from as many as 32 million users in 46 countries.

There's nothing quite like the unregulated internet. We were wandering around Ebay—our favorite conduit for buying vintage magazines—when we spied this postcard of Swedish actress Christina Lindberg performing a dance number in a Japanese nightclub circa 1973. It's a very nice image, and it's available for $13.00 plus shipping, which can be considered exorbitant or a bargain, depending on your feelings about this type of material in general and Ms. Lindberg in particular. Problem is, it's an image from Sangre Yakuza, a long running Japanophile blog. The shot was posted there a couple of years ago and you can click over and snag it for free right now. Doubtless the Ebay seller saw the scan and figured, "What the fuck? An image like that might sell as a postcard." And it will—when we last checked there were three prospective buyers watching the auction.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time we've noticed this happening with Lindberg. A few years ago we found one of our own scans for sale on Ebay. We wrote about that here. We can't really blame these sellers for trying such a maneuver, but it just goes to show that you have to be careful what you're paying for on Ebay because the company itself doesn't police these practices. In fact, under Ebay guidelines the seller isn't breaking any rules—he would be if he tried to sell the image as an original photo, but a postcard is by definition a reprint. It doesn't really matter where it was reprinted from. Still, though, it's a bit scammy considering he took it from a publicly available webpage and probably printed the postcards on his HP Deskjet. Anyway, we've posted the shot below, without the obnoxious watermark, along with the cover page of the magazine feature in which it appears. As a public service.

At Pulp Intl. we have an entire category labeled "swindles and scams," and we think this qualifies. It all started when a cash card we rely upon stopped working a few days before Christmas. Terrible timing, of course. Gifts to buy, revelry to enjoy. But the screen of the cash machine read in glowing green letters: Transaction not possible. An immediate call to Bank of America revealed that they had cancelled the card. Why? Because a new one had been sent. But that made no sense—nothing had arrived in the mail. We asked, baffled, "So you cancelled the card without permission, even though it hasn't expired and a new one hasn't been activated?"
There is one positive to all this: having been treated as if we don't exist by the bank, we at least have the option of telling tens of thousands of Pulp Intl. visitors what happened. Does it matter in the end? Doubtful. Does the bank care? Certainly not. But at least we can add another anecdote to the growing tome of horror stories about Bank of America. And sharing our story here feels better than merely passing bad word of mouth to a few buddies at the bar. So thanks for listening. Now we can get back to your regularly scheduled pulp with all that off our minds.

Upcoming on Sunday is the eightieth anniversary of the first modern sighting of the Loch Ness monster, which occurred April 14, 1933 when a couple claimed to have seen what they described as an enormous animal in the loch. In honor of the occasion, yesterday at the Edinburgh International Science Festival in Scotland, Nessie scholars held a symposium debating the creature's existence. The photo above, shot by Robert Wilson on April 19, 1934, remains arguably the most famous Nessie image, and for years was touted as proof something large lived in the loch, until 1984 when the British Journal of Photography published an analysis by Stewart Campbell concluding that the object in the water measured three feet—not nearly long enough to be the famed Nessie. Years later, a big game hunter named Marmaduke Wetherell, who you see here, was fingered as the brain behind an elaborate hoax resulting in the photo. But true believers have disputed the account.
Subsequent sightings and photos have all been inconclusive, which means of course that nothing was decided at the Edinburgh symposium. Those who believe in the creature have no hard evidence to prove their position, and those who disbelieve can't prove it doesn't exist. The latter isn't a surprise, as it's logically impossible to prove anything doesn't exist, whether monsters and deities, Kang and Kodos of Rigel IV, or the chair you're sitting on right now. Doubtless those involved in the symposium knew that, which means the event was probably just a good excuse to shoot the shit for an afternoon then adjourn to the raucous Edinburgh bars. From there it's just a few pints until someone drops his pants and screeches, "Watch out! The monster is out of the loch!" So be forewarned—the next Nessie photo you see will probably be someone's pale cock, and if photo analysis proves it's three feet long that'll be one proud scientist.

If you live in the U.S, today you're probably celebrating Thanksgiving, maybe watching some football. But people where we live don't know from Thanksgiving, so with nothing else to do today we decided to go back through some of the old posts on the website to make sure all the external links were still working. Interestingly, we noticed that the first two dead links cycled around for a few moments, then sent us to functioning pages that had nothing to do with the original articles. For instance, a link in our post on Lee Harvey Oswald's coffin sent us to the front page of The Huffington Post. Is having dead links on your website now the equivalent of leaving your sunglasses in a restaurant? They're okay to steal because they've been temporarily forgotten? Well, not in our universe. In the next couple of days we're going to ferret out all the dead links on Pulp Intl. and redirect them to relevant content. We'd be surprised if there are even half a dozen, but we'll fix them

You can add Norway to the list of countries with a mysterious sea serpent. Or not. Last week Andreas Solvik and two friends were in a small boat on Lake Hornindalsvatnet in the southwestern part of country when they saw a disturbance on the water. Solvik snapped the photo you see above. We've taken a good look it and we gotta say, what we think Solvik saw was a disturbance in his bank account and he cooked up a hoax to make a few kroner on the side. Lake Hornindalsvatnet actually does have a legend about a kjempeorm, or monster, associated with it, and because it's the deepest lake in Europe, there's a feeling among some locals that a monster might be able to survive uncaptured, but only among laymen. When a local scientist was asked for his take, he theorized that because the area has an extensive logging industry, what Solvik photographed and what people have seen for many years are probably either logs, or masses of sawdust that sat on the lakeshore for a while collecting algae before finally floating into deeper water. That's an interesting theory, but we don't think Andreas Solvik photographed something that turned out to be wood. We think he Photoshopped something that he hoped would turn into money. Check below and see what you think.

Australian film star Paul Hogan, who charmed the cinema world twenty-four years ago playing Mick "Crocodile" Dundee, was in his native Australia for his mother's funeral this week when he received another piece of bad news. Australian tax authorities had issued an order preventing the grieving star from leaving the country until he settles a bill for outstanding taxes. According to their records—and as we all know, the tax office's records are the only ones that matter—Hogan owes on a whopping $38 million. Seems he relocated to Los Angeles shortly after his film franchise took off and never bothered to pay taxes in his native country. Authorities say he squirreled his cash away in offshore bank accounts. The exact amount they are demanding hasn't been disclosed, but it's safe to say this is going to be the biggest croc Hogan ever wrestled.

How much cash do they claim was made on this scam? Two million dollars. That's a 2 with six zeros after it. If true, this is sad on two levels: first, that a former NBA player who probably had a thousand other opportunities went this route; and second, that jobseekers who were being crushed by a recession had no choice but to feed on the corpses of people who had already been crushed before them. Vincent has had no comment thus far, but his attorney has described the former basketballer as a "legitimate businessman engaged in legal activities", which we think is like claiming to be a "legitimate cigarette marketing executive", or a "legitimate geologist for a mining company that blows the tops off pristine Appalachian hills and dumps them in valleys, destroying wildlife and contaminating groundwater". In other words, "legal" isn't a synonym for moral—at least not in our book. But unfortunately, we didn't write the book everyone else is playing by—Wall Street did. And it seems as if Vincent may have memorized it chapter and verse.

Sanchez's arrest is yet another embarrassment for Mexico, however, it's also a blow for the U.S., which pretends—publicly at least—that the American demand for drugs is not the true driver of Mexico's cartel troubles. Often, Mexican politicians will point out this dark symbiosis, but in this instance officials south of the border have so far been circumspect. Current Quintana Roo governor Felix Gonzalez Cantu said only that, "This takes us all by surprise—it is unprecedented."

In Britain, a growing scandal has ensnared Rupert Murdoch, head of News International, and Andy Coulson, who was editor of the News International paper News of the World before becoming communications director for Conservative Party leader David Cameron. In short, News of the World hacked into voicemail accounts and computerized police records, and also extracted confidential information from banking computers. Murdoch claims to have known nothing about it, but yesterday a committee of MPs concluded an investigation into the matter by accusing News International execs of engaging in "obfuscation" and suffering from "collective amnesia."
While Murdoch has taken some heat for the mess, the investigation into the hacking has increasingly turned toward Andy Coulson, who, while editor of News of the World, employed four private investigators to dig up dirt on public figures. Nineteen victims of the hacking have been identified, but records show that ninety-one were targeted. To make matters worse, Scotland Yard resisted investigating the matter, has refused to comply with Freedom of Information requests concerning the investigation, and failed to notify those whose cellphone pin codes were found in possession of one of News of the World's PIs. This means that public figures who suspect being targeted by News of the World have been forced to launch their own investigations to discover whether they were victims.
Perhaps most interesting is the fact that, while Murdoch claims to have no knowledge of these matters, his newspapers, which he touts as exemplars of balanced reporting, hid the story in their Thursday editions. While The Guardian and other papers devoted multiple pages to what is one of the biggest scandals of the year and quoted directly from the official report, Murdoch's Sun buried 135 words on the matter between an ad and a weather map of Ireland, his Times printed a mere 230 words, and his Daily Telegraph was able to manage only 325.

My Grandpa Andersen had a habit of grabbing Grandma.
He took great delight in grabbing her around the waist, his fingers wriggling as he nuzzled up to her. I think Grandma liked it, but she must have been a bit ticklish.
As she tried to pull away in mock disgust, a labored smile appeared as she responded, "Suh, Daddy. Suh, suh." Eventually, Grandpa gave up and returned to more adult behavior.
My brothers and I witnessed this countless times while we were growing up. Eventually, one of my brothers found the courage to ask: "Grandpa, what does suh mean?" As a broad grin crossed his face, he replied with a naughty twinkle in his eye, "It means more, more."
While I'm certain Grandma would disagree with that interpretation, we grandkids knew that when we heard "suh" coming from elsewhere in the house, it probably meant that Grandpa was tormenting the love of his life.
We all have words like that in our family history, words that symbolize something in our families but may have a different meaning altogether to outsiders. While this one came easily to me, I'm hard-pressed to come up with any others from my own family today. Perhaps my brothers will help me set the record straight
Writing prompt for the day: Make a list of some "code words" from your own family history. Are they still used today? Be sure to include definitions.

It might be, it could be … the lineup
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Turns out there is something worse than being stranded in the desert on a cold, rainy day.
It's called being stranded in the desert on a cold, rainy day with computer problems.
I'd like to thank my new best friend in the Dodgers' I.T. department _ he didn't want me to mention his name, but his initials are The Man _ for helping me get my computer in the mood to work.
Since 21st-century technology has officially kicked in, here's the lineup for today's Rox-Dodgers game at Camelback Ranch:
1. Carlos Gonzalez, RF
2. Dexter Fowler, CF
3. Melvin Mora, 2B
4. Seth Smith, LF
5. Chris Iannetta, C
6. Ian Stewart, 3B
7. Ryan Spilborghs, DH
8. Clint Barmes, SS
9. Jeff Kindel, 1B
Pitching: Ubaldo Jimenez
1. Rafael Furcal, SS
2. Matt Kemp, CF
3. Andre Ethier, RF
4. Manny Ramirez, DH
5. James Loney, 1B
6. Ronnie Belliard, 3B
7. Blake DeWitt, 2B
8. Xavier Paul, LF
9. Brad Ausmus, C
Pitching: Hiroki Kuroda
Footnote on Rox lineup: Melvin Mora played second base, the third position he has played in the Cactus League. He also has played third base and left field. Trust me, there will be more to follow. He brought five gloves to spring training in anticipation of super-utility duty.

2) Place paper liners into 2 (12 cup) muffin tins and set aside. If you prefer, set 12 ovenproof coffee mugs on a half sheet pan and set aside.
3) In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
4) Place the egg yolks and 5 ounces of the sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk on high for 2 minutes or until the mixture becomes pale yellow and 'ribbons' when lifted. Add the water, vegetable oil and vanilla and whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients and whisk just to combine. Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl while you whisk the egg whites.
5) Place the egg whites and cream of tartar into a clean bowl and whisk on high using the whisk attachment, until it becomes foamy. Decrease the speed to low and gradually add the remaining ounce of sugar. Increase speed to high and continue whisking until stiff peaks form, approximately 2 minutes.
6) Transfer 1/3 of the egg whites to the batter and whisk until well combined. Add the remaining egg whites and fold in gently. Transfer batter into prepared muffin tins or coffee mugs, evenly dividing the batter between the cups. Place both muffin tins on the middle rack of the oven or, if using mugs, place all of them on a half sheet pan and set on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or the cupcakes reach an internal temperature of 95 to 98 degrees C. Remove from the oven to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.

Yesterday's Star Tribune carried a story that I know something about through my day job: "13 charged over tobacco sales fraud." It's a story that has a subtext the reporters don't touch. Here is some text:
Thirteen people face federal charges of defrauding the state of more than $2.5 million in sales tax by concealing revenues from cigarette sales, according to a federal indictment unsealed Thursday.
The indictment, which according to attorneys in the case was unsealed by a U.S. District Court magistrate judge, cites numerous attempts to conceal earnings and wealth through fraudulent bookkeeping and tax returns, as well as property transfers and large cash transactions.
One defendant is accused of stashing $1 million cash in his ceiling, and another allegedly bought a BMW car with $20 and $50 bills.
Scott Tilsen, a federal public defender, said it is too early to know the full extent of what the government claims or what it can prove.
"They've charged a form of tax evasion over a four-year period involving a large number of individuals named and unnamed," Tilsen said. "Traditionally, there's always a few tax prosecutions brought … as we approach April 15."
The case, the result of a joint investigation by the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service, includes one conspiracy count, 13 mail fraud counts and 26 wire fraud counts.
In addition to conspiracy charges, 11 of the defendants are accused of mail and wire fraud involving false or incomplete sales tax payments or filings.
All but one of the 13 defendants uses or has used the last name Wazwaz.
The defendants own 52 Twin Cities-area tobacco stores, including Wholey Smokes in Blaine, Coon Rapids and Minnetonka, and Mr. Discount Tobacco I in Fridley and II in Roseville.
When I had a glimpse into the case, it was part of a joint investigation that included the ATF, the IRS, and the FBI. Why might it attract the attention of three federal law enforcement agencies? The need to dig beneath the surface of apparently routine tax evasion charges is suggested by the reporters' description of the indictment:
The 58-page indictment alleges that the dozens of transactions date from 1996 through the present and details numerous transactions involving thousands of dollars.
The defendants also are accused of transferring nearly $1 million to Jordan, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories through checks, currency and wire transfers backed by the tobacco store proceeds.
An unindicted co-conspirator was caught at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in March 2003 with six cashier's checks worth $108,030 destined for Lebanon, the indictment said.
The reporters don't suggest that the money might have been put to nefarious uses in Jordan, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories, but I suspect the authorities have reason to believe that it has. If the reporters had checked the Star Tribune story on the seizure of the cashier's checks from the unindicted co-conspirator at the airport in 2003, I believe they would find that the cashier's checks had been sewn into the lining of one of her bags. Rather than dig a little beneath the surface of the story, the reporters quote federal public defender Tilsen:
"There's millions of Americans who send funds to relatives overseas," Tilsen said, noting that the money can add up over time. He represents Yousef Mahmoud Wazwaz, also known as Joseph Mahmoud.
Sometimes you have to wonder how attorneys keep a straight face when serving up such bilge. I have a hard time keeping a straight face just reading about the "the family" — one group named Mohamed, one named Mahmoud, and two other groups — and the alias of one of the members who has already pleaded guilty:
Most of the defendants belong to four groups of brothers identified by their names: Othman, Mohamed, Yassin and Mahmoud.
They own tobacco stores in the Twin Cities and concealed the revenue and expenses of those stores or the identities of the people deriving economic benefit from their operation, according to the indictment.
At least two of the defendants already have pleaded guilty to federal charges in connection with cigarette sales.
Zuhair Wazwaz, also known as Anthony Stallone, pleaded guilty in 2004 to mail and wire fraud. Adel Salem pleaded guilty that same year to mail fraud. They pleaded guilty to ordering nearly $1 million in cigarettes with no intention of paying for them.
Although the Star Tribune story doesn't do any digging, it is long, detailed and worth reading in its entirety.

|Public Prosecutor's Office In Benghazi Bombed
|[Tripoli Post] An improvised bomb went
kaboom!outside the headquarters of the public prosecutor in the Libyan city of Benghazi causing material damage but no fatalities, a security source said.
"Initial evidence suggests the device was a suitcase packed with high yield explosives (TNT)," an investigator at the scene said, adding that there were no casualties.
News 24 reportede that the overnight blast marked the third attack on the site in 2012, he said.
It damaged the front of the recently renovated building, which once held the people's court, a special tribunal created by the former regime of Muammar Qadaffy
...a proud Arab institution for 42 years, now among the dear departed, though not the dearest...

The bomb also punched a hole in the ground and shattered the glass of adjacent vehicles and properties.
December marked a tumultuous month for Benghazi, cradle of the 2011 NATO

Pakistan Music: Laal and Inqalab (My Slogan is Revolution)
Pakistan Music: Laal and Inqalab (My Slogan is Revolution)
Murad Makhmudov and Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
Laal (http://www.laal.com.pk) and their music track "Inqalab" once more hits the heights and this applies to music, potent lyrics, and highlighting a message which needs to be heard. Unlike "Dehshatgardi Murdabad" (Death to Terrorism) by Laal which is aimed at religious extremism, nations who sponsored Sunni Islamic extremism, the role of the CIA and the national governments of Pakistan and America; the music track "Inqalab" is aimed at massive inequality in South Asia and the daily suffering of bonded laborers.
The lyrics and melody of "Inqalab" appeals to an international audience because you can feel genuine passion. "Inqalab" is milder than "Dehshatgardi Murdabad" when it comes to the beat of music but this doesn't make the message less powerful. On the contrary, Laal is highlighting their musical talents alongside lyrics which have deep meanings. Therefore, both music tracks show the diversity of Laal and that their message applies to a whole ray of important issues.
"Dehshatgardi Murdabad" is firmly based on events in Afghanistan and Pakistan but "Inqalab" is aimed at real bread and butter issues – and sadly, for millions of people all over the world their real "bread and butter" is based on the exploitation of labor, being at the bottom of the ladder because of institutional discrimination, and other important factors.
Part of the lyrics state:
The truth can never remain concealed (x2)
Can one stop the rising sun?
How long must we keep on pleading?
How long must we hear rejection?
Only we ourselves can fulfill our dreams
One day, you will see, a new dawn
When the red sunlight fills the sky
Then you will get the answers to your questions
My slogan is revolution
Throughout parts of Asia you have poor Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Muslims, and other faiths, and people of no faith, who are suffering because of elites in government, religious orders, rampant capitalism, exploitation by landowners, and all this is being done because of countless legal systems which do zilch to stop this inequality. Therefore, even when laws have been passed the same exploitation is continuing because central forces don't have the "will" or "desire" to challenge the established order.
Each individual listening to "Inqalab" by Laal will take out lyrics which have more potency. According to the review by Modern Tokyo Times this certainly applies to "When the red sunlight fills the sky" and "My slogan is revolution." After all, the only political movement in history which believed in equality was "the flag of socialism."
Returning back to Laal then it is abundantly clear that some musicians still focus on "the bigger picture" and are not afraid to express their thinking. The music track "Inqalab" also highlights a hidden spirit which isn't being heard in the mainstream music industry. Therefore, it is important that Laal is heard in Pakistan and internationally because their lyrics aren't based on rhetoric.
On the contrary, this music group is highlighting the "real world" and the lyrics of "Inqalab" and other tracks by Laal, are a reminder that power comes through the written word. Therefore, while the music may be mild and catchy in the track called "Inqalab," the song itself is revolutionary and inspires the soul.
"Inqalab," just like "Dehshatgardi Murdabad," is a lovely track because Laal have hit the right notes once more. Therefore, please check the links below and listen to a group which is inspiring a new generation and shows that despite all the negative forces in this world – irrespective if in East or West – you still have hope because some individuals see the bigger picture.

June 2013 Dispatch - Jeep News
What's Going On In The Industry
Jeep News & Rumors
Mopar said its second most accessorized vehicle in North America in 2012 was the Wrangler. Fourth was the Grand Cherokee. Among the top-selling Mopar accessories last year were side steps and running boards, Wrangler tops, suspension upgrades, and wheel locks. And the most accessorized vehicle in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa was the Wrangler. Ditto Asian Pacific, and is where the Grand fell in the number two spot, while the Compass and Patriot rounded out the top five. In Latin America, the Wrangler and Grand were in the four and five spots.
Kelley Blue Book's 5-Year Cost To Own Awards points to vehicles that are the best deal in terms of fuel, financing, insurance, and other monthly and annual expenses. As in, the most affordable vehicles ("cheap mofo" is politically incorrect, right?). The Patriot won the compact SUV/crossover category, beating out the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and Honda CR-V.
SRT has developed Core models, including specifically tuned suspension, exterior things that set them apart from the regular SRTs, and other features. But so far, no Core Grand Cherokee SRT8. Not that we're huge fans of the Grand SRT, but still. We'll take any reason to pout.
Seems Jeep sold 141,669 Wranglers in the U.S. in 2012. That's around 16 percent more than in the previous year.
While we're talking numbers, when production starts in China, Chrysler is planning to build a minimum of 100,000 Jeeps per year.

What do you think is the most common reason for people having a car accident? If you said "A talking goat in the back seat," you're almost correct. Carinsurance.com said that based on its data from car-insurance shoppers who listed previous incidents, the types of problems started with struck another car at the top of the list, followed by another car striking them. Act of nature was 5.8 percent, while vandalism was 2.4 percent. A little unclear on that one, but we'll assume it was the goat.
According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, thefts of SUVs (and crossovers) between January 1, 2008 and June 30, 2012 were highest in California, followed by Texas and Florida. The New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island area had the most theft reports.

There is probably nothing better than hooking up with a hot local girl or meeting up for a one night stand while your travelling or while the wife is away (nobody is judging...) but there are a few things you should always keep in mind:
1. If you live in a large city and you are looking for local girls for sex, you might accidentally see someone you know. If you do, hit her up and see if she wanted to have sex with you, but remember that she is local and you might have the same friends or know the same people.
2. Never spread rumors or share information about the local women you are talking to. They are simply looking for a good time and should be comfortable doing so. By spreading rumors or sharing private information about the girl, you might scare her into deleting her profile. Always respect the girls that are online looking for local hookups, just as you would want them to respect you.
3. Chances are, that if you are trying to meet local women for hookups, dates, casual sex, or even serious relationships, you might end up bumping into them again. Some of these girls might be the girl next door, or a co-worker, nurse, doctor, or anything in your area. You could easily run into past and present casual sex partners, hookups, fuck buddies and friends with benefits in public. Remember to be discrete and respectful.
4. Be discrete! This is very important! When you are online using a casual or adult dating service, discretion is very important. Chances are, you don't want everyone to know you are cheating on your wife, and most girls don't want half the town knowing she has a profile on an adult or casual dating site.

At noon of June first, Santa Cruz unleashed the second volley in their 27.5 bike assault. The first bike was the Santa Cruz Bronson Which featured 150 mm of travel front and rear. The bike was burly and was aimed squarly at the six-inch All Mountain travel bike crowd and the growing Enduro Racing scene.
But in a recent visit, Director of Engineering, Joe Graney asked me what I wanted to see next and I said the obvious choice is a a lighter bike with about 125mm or 5 inches of travel. Such a bike could would be fully capable, raceable and could come in under 25 lbs complete. The Bronson came in at 27+ lbs even with a carbon frame and wheels because the spec fork and tires were pretty burly. Joe just smiled and changed the subject as I suspected that he did not want to give away his next hand.

What's Behind the Figures?
By ALEXANDER BITKER Principal, San Francisco Office
Presented before the North Coast Chapter of The California Society of Certified Public Accountants, Petaluma, California — February 1959
DURING the past few years a great deal of attention has been directed
by the accounting profession, and particularly by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and our own California
Society of Certified Public Accountants, to promote better understanding between independent public accountants and bankers as well as other credit grantors.
In reaching a decision whether to extend credit, a banker considers
many factors. Among the more important of these are the financial position of the borrower and the results of its operations as shown by its financial statements. To a great extent, bankers have come to rely upon us, the independent accountants, for an opinion as to whether the financial statements present fairly this information.
The banker desires the unqualified opinion of the independent accountant, expressed in language similar to that contained in the standard short form of report developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The language of the standard short form has been developed to express precisely and concisely the independent
accountant's representations as to the examination performed
and his conclusions as to the financial statements. While these representations could be stated at greater length, added words would not alter the essential character of what is stated, and the general acceptance of this short form unqualified opinion gives it added weight as a symbol of fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Perhaps one point should be stressed above all others. The accountant's opinion, whether unqualified or qualified, is not formed merely by checking figures in the books or other records. Many questions arise during an examination that require the exercise of mature, experienced judgment. Obviously the value of a CPA's opinion
rests on the quality of his judgment and his independence. In expressing an opinion, the accountant assumes a heavy responsibility for the professional competence of his work.
One question which a credit grantor asks when he ponders the question, "What's behind the figures?" is really, "Who is behind the

Colorado School Grades releases 2014 rankings of Colorado public schools
For parents wondering how their kids' schools stack up, a coalition of nonprofit groups Monday released its fourth annual report card using easy-to-grasp letter grades their children know all too well.
The online tool, Colorado School Grades, relies on academic growth and proficiency data from the Colorado Department of Education and uses a formula developed with the Center for Education Policy Analysis at the School of Public Affairs at the University of Colorado Denver.
Some quick takeaways: Top-ranked schools are scattered throughout the state, strong elementary school options abound in the Denver metro area, the Colorado Springs region has high school down, and the overwhelming majority of top-performing schools have something distinguishing them, either as a charter school, K-8 school, innovation status or some other special trait.

Hi Everyone! This is such an awesome little dessert for Valentine's Day that I thought it deserved another look as a Flashback Friday post…
Cherries and cream cheese are one of my favorite dessert combinations. Combine the two with pie crust and a heart shaped cookie cutter and you get a sweet little Cream Cheese and Cherry Heart Pastry, just perfect for a Valentine's Day Treat for someone you love.
This dessert recipe is so yummy! It is based on one of my favorite Pampered Chef recipes. I redid the recipe using a different crust, which makes it so much easier to cut shapes and is just perfect for a Valentine's Day Dessert..
These were fairly easy to put together, here is how I did it:
- 1 to 2 pkgs refrigerated pie crust (depending on how many you want to make, or you could always make your own pie crust)
- 1 pkg. cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- large heart cookie cutter
- small heart cookie cutter (optional)
- parchment paper
- rolling pin
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tsp. milk
Cover cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out 2 sheets of pie crust and cut out large hearts with the cookie cutter.
In large bowl, combine cream cheese, 1/4 sugar, egg and vanilla ad or almond extract ( I used both). Set aside half of the heart cutouts for the top layer. Spread cream cheese mixture over the bottom layers of the pie crust hearts to 1/2 inch of the edge.
Using your fingers, press the edges together. Go around the edges again with a fork for an extra strong seal.
While cooling, mix the glaze. Combine 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. If the glaze seems to thick, add another tablespoon of milk.

Criterion Announce May Line-Up (US)
The Criterion Collection has announced its Blu-ray slate for May and it looks just like this…
BAND OF OUTSIDERS – May 7th
Four years after Breathless, Jean-Luc Godard reimagined the gangster film even more radically with Band of Outsiders. In it, two restless young men (Sami Frey and Claude Brasseur) enlist the object of both of their fancies (Anna Karina) to help them commit a robbery—in her own home. This audacious and wildly entertaining French New Wave gem is at once sentimental and insouciant, effervescently romantic and melancholy, and it features some of Godard's most memorable set pieces, including the headlong race through the Louvre and the unshakeably cool Madison dance sequence.
• New digital master of Gaumont's recent high-definition restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
• Visual glossary of references and wordplay found in Band of Outsiders
• Exclusive interviews with cinematographer Raoul Coutard and actor Anna Karina
• Excerpts from a 1964 interview with director Jean-Luc Godard, including rare behind-the-scenes footage from the film
• Filmmaker Agnès Varda's 1961 silent comedy Les fiancés du pont Mac Donald, starring Godard and Karina and featuring other members of the Band of Outsiders cast
• Godard's original theatrical trailer and the 2001 U.S. rerelease trailer
• PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by poet and critic Joshua Clover, Godard's character descriptions for the film's 1964 press book, and an interview with the director from the same year
3:10 TO YUMA – May 14th
In this beautifully shot and acted, psychologically complex western, Van Heflin is a mild-mannered cattle rancher who takes on the task of shepherding a captured outlaw, played with cucumber-cool charisma by Glenn Ford, to the train that will take him to prison. This apparently simple plan turns into a nerve-racking cat-and-mouse game that will test each man's particular brand of honour. Based on a story by Elmore Leonard, 3:10 to Yuma is a thrilling, humane action movie, directed by the supremely talented studio filmmaker Delmer Daves with intense feeling and precision.
• New high-definition digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
• Alternate 5.1 surround soundtrack, presented in DTS-HD Master Audio on the Blu-ray edition
• New interviews with author Elmore Leonard and Glenn Ford's son and biographer, Peter Ford
• PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Kent Jones
JUBAL – May 14th
A trio of exceptional performances from Glenn Ford, Ernest Borgnine, and Rod Steiger form the centre of Jubal, an overlooked Hollywood treasure from genre master Delmer Daves. In this Shakespearean tale of jealousy and betrayal, Ford is an honourable itinerant cattleman, befriended and hired by Borgnine's bighearted ranch owner despite his unwillingness to talk about his past. When the new hand becomes the target of the flirtatious attentions of the owner's bored wife (Valerie French) and is entrusted by the boss with a foreman's responsibilities, his presence at the ranch starts to rankle his shifty fellow cowhand, played by Steiger. The resulting emotional showdown imparts unparalleled psychology intensity to this western, a vivid melodrama featuring expressive location photography in Technicolor and CinemaScope.
• New high-definition digital restoration, with DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
• PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Kent Jones
MEDIUM COOL – May 21st
It's 1968, and the whole world is watching. With the U.S. in social upheaval, famed cinematographer Haskell Wexler decided to make a film about what the hell was going on. His debut feature, Medium Cool, plunges us into that moment. With its mix of scripted fiction and seat-of-the-pants documentary technique, this story of the working world and romantic life of a television cameraman (Robert Forster) is a visceral, lasting cinematic snapshot of the era, climaxing with an extended sequence shot right in the middle of the riots surrounding the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. An inventive commentary on the pleasures and dangers of wielding a camera, Medium Cool is as prescient a political film as Hollywood has ever produced.
• New 4K digital restoration, approved by director Haskell Wexler, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
• Two audio commentaries, one featuring Wexler, actor Marianna Hill, and editor Paul Golding, the other featuring historian Paul Cronin
• New interview with Wexler
• Look Out Haskell, It's Real!, a fifty-five-minute documentary about the making of Medium Cool, produced by Cronin and featuring interviews with Wexler, Golding, actors Verna Bloom, Peter Bonerz, and Robert Forster, Chicago historian Studs Terkel, and others
• Excerpts from Sooner or Later, a documentary by Cronin about Harold Blankenship, who plays the adolescent Harold in the film
• Original theatrical trailer
• PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by film critic and programmer Thomas Beard
LIFE IS SWEET – May 28th
This moving film from Mike Leigh is an intimate, invigorating, and amusing portrait of a working-class family in a suburb just north of London—an irrepressible mum and dad (Alison Steadman and Jim Broadbent) and their night-and-day twins, a bookish good girl and a sneering layabout (Claire Skinner and Jane Horrocks). In it, Leigh and his typically brilliant cast create, with extra¬ordinary sensitivity and craft, a vivid, lived-in story of ordinary existence, in which even modest dreams (such as the father's desire to open a food truck) carry enormous weight. Perched on the line between humour and melancholy, Life Is Sweet is captivating, and it was Leigh's first international sensation.
• New high-definition digital restoration, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
• New audio commentary featuring director Mike Leigh
• Audio recording of a 1991 interview with Leigh at the National Film Theatre in London
• More!
• PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic David Sterritt

WFTV chief executive Kate Kinninmont said: "I'm particularly pleased that we have two exceptional film directors, Lynne Ramsay and Sally El Hosaini, amongst our winners this year.

What Does It Mean to Bring Your Life?
Our modern world can be a crazy, confusing and sometimes dangerous place.
Very easily swept away in chaos. But how do we avoid it?
Having to bring back bacon, pursue or maintain lasting intimate relationships, maintain a healthy lifestyle, build a successful career and live a happy and fulfilled life seems unlikely.
Do all this make you feel out of control? Victim circumstances? Can not bear it all and live the life you really want?
Do you see other people who seem to have it all and wish to find out for themselves?
If yes, you are not alone.
Most people live their entire lives losing the enormous wealth of joy available to us.
We are stuck in a job that only keeps us, but does not fill us.
We "settle" for a relationship that feels most secure and comfortable.
We eat unhealthy, "easy" foods and do not exercise because there is no time to do it right.
But do not despair! It is possible to be responsible for your life and have it all!
Where we failed
How we manage the spill of stress and the responsibility of everyday life is the key.
Unfortunately, it's all too easy to wrap up and rely on bad habits and quick fixes to ease our restless thoughts, hearts, and bodies.
You've made the decision you want to eat healthier. But you have a long day at work, and it's easier to turn off the drive-through and start eating healthier tomorrow. Have you done this recently?
Perhaps you are determined you will meditate to reduce that everyday stress. But a long day in taking care of the kids leads you to only have a cocktail or two before sharing it again the next day. Sound familiar
Exciting new job opportunities appear in the field you want to explore. But the security and comfort of "job of survival" you pay the bills. So you decide you're unprepared, too risky, and let the interview slide. Are you guilty
All of these things are just "trembling," a way we suppress our true selves and allow life to feed us, rather than live.
It does not have to be this way!
Restore Your Strength
"Every time you're tempted to react the same old way, ask yourself whether you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future." – Deepak Chopra
Too often we let our habits control us. It's time to reclaim your personal power and make changes.
Here are some things you can and will discover when you reclaim your power and take responsibility for your life:
Fear is not your enemy
Personal responsibility is stronger than the victim
Focus on what you want, not what you think you need
Forgiveness, yourself and others, will lead you to freedom
Nothing lasts forever
I know you have the ability to take control of your life and reshape it into the glittering happiness you deserve.
If you're ready to follow the next step, Craig Beck's Personal Power Coaching Club is a great place to start.

Oneida snowbanks no problem
ONEIDA- Members of common council feel that snowbanks in the downtown area are not a major concern at this point.
Acting Mayor Max Smith explained that although there is no plan in the budget to remove snowbanks in the downtown area, they are removed on an as-needed basis. The city would borrow by county trucks, costing the city less money. "If it becomes a real issue, we will take care of it," Smith said.
Councilor Brahim Zogby said that snowbank removal is "something that would have to be determined by Public Safety, the DPW, and the city engineer along with the mayor."
Councilor David Cimpi noted that the snowbanks are best removed on warmer days, as it makes the ice less dangerous and easier to break up and load into the trucks.
Funding for any snow removal would come from the Department of Public Works.

What happens when one of the biggest names in dance music teams up with the elder statesman of emo punk? A psychedelic, foot-stomper is born.
Earthquakey People delves into our communal sense of personal failure—you know, that "oh, fuck me" memory that seems to surface daily in the shower—to reveal that everybody, in fact, feels just as dumb as you do.
The Earthquakey single is avaiable from Amazon, Google Play, and iTunes.

Big Brown might have won the Preakness Stakes, but he clearly wasn't the only winner in the house. Yesterday's festivities included beer tossing and shirtless wrestling. Continue after the jump for highlights from Dan Steinberg's intrepid field report.
Near as anyone could tell, today's game of beer-can volleyball broke out when someone flung a brew from on top of an outhouse. That, the surrounding masses realized, looked like jolly good fun. And soon the sky filled with silver-and-foam, the silver signifying surprisingly heavy vessels of lite beer, the foam showing that this lite beer anxiously wished to come out and join the party.
Six, seven, eight cans were volleyed back and forth simultaneously, some being consumed after their fleshy landings, others taking flight again. Some infielders shielded their heads with Styrofoam coolers. Others joined forces, hoisting a giant blue tarp to ward off the incoming fermentable attack.
One man proudly showed off what he claimed was a beer-can related broken finger. Another yanked a can out of mid-air, consumed its contents and chomped the defeated can between his jaws. A young woman face's snapped back after impact; she shook her head and managed a timid laugh.
That's just how we do in Maryland.

Jenson does it again..
BlueSkyCycling.com - Shimano XTR M988 IceTech Trail Disc Brake w/AdapterYour recent price match request was declined for Shimano XTR Trail BR-M988 Disc Brake, Right, Rear Brake, No Rotor in the amount of $189.98. The reason for the decline will be stated below:
Sorry, we cannot match prices with Bluesky Cycling on Shimano product. Bluesky is selling OEM product without packaging (not the same as our new product) without disclosing this to the consumer. The Jenson USA item you are requesting a match on is brand new in Shimano retail packaging with USA warranty.
Called bluesky they are selling the full retail version. Jenson's price match policy a joke. They make up ******** excuses whenever they want.
Jenson assumed it was OE. Just like they assumed the the rims were out of stock (they arrived in 3 business days) jenson refuses to price match again , and just like they assumed the eggbeater SL pedals from blusky were OE (they were full retail packaging including cleats). They make up excuses not to price match. If anyone wants proof I can give it to them I have invoiceof the rims I ordered arriving within 3 buisiness days, and I have the invoice of the eggbeaters and shots of 4 pairs of them in my basement still in their box.
What would be better is Jenson changed the wording on their price match to say "We price match most competitors, but if it's too low then we won't" I would not fault them for it. Just quit with the bull excuses it just pisses people off.
Think about it this way. A company says on their site "Price Match" yet they refuse to price match certain prices because they happen to have inside knowledge of the other businesses practices. How is the customer supposed to which are legitimate claims and which were fabricated in order to skirt their price match guaranty? The customer had no way of knowing who is telling the truth. They choose who and when to price match and customer are left guessing as to who and what to believe
