Like A Virgin Lyrics

I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you

I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats [after first time, "With your heartbeat"]
Next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last

You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold

Oooh, oooh, oooh

You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours 'till the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I've nothing to hide

Like a virgin, ooh, ooh
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Can't you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?

This distance learning Child Psychology course is designed for people who wish to gain an understanding of the principles and practice of Child Psychology and the development of children.

  • Course Length - 12 Months
  • Award Received - Level 3 Certificate of Achievement by NCFE
  • Course Code: UCLD03
A childminder’s role is many and varied and can be described in a number of ways. Gone are the days when childminders were seen as uneducated, low paid babysitters who were paid to keep an eye on the children whilst their parents spent a few hours at work. The world has changed and with it the need for good quality childcare. Parents are no longer content to pay someone to look after their child simply because they appear motherly and seem to like playing with children. Parents now, quite rightly, express a wish to find a highly qualified, organised person who has the right skills to not only nurture their child but to educate and discipline them. This course will provide you with all the underpinning knowledge to make a decision as to whether a career as a child minder is the right one for you

Two rescued after week trapped in China mine
by Staff Writers
Beijing (AFP) July 10, 2011

Two workers were rescued Sunday after being trapped for more than a week deep underground in a southern China mine collapse in which eight people died and 12 were still missing, state media reported.

Rescuers acknowledged the chances of finding more of the missing alive was increasingly unlikely at the coal mine in Heshan city, in Guangxi region, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

But rescuers, who were offered two million yuan ($310,000) for each worker they pulled out alive, were not giving up, the report said.

The two survivors were found in a ventilation shaft 320 metres (1,000 feet) underground that was filled with sludge but still had space for air to pass, Ye Fangyong, the deputy head of the rescue operation, said.

The two men, Liu Jiagan, 41, and Qin Hongdang, 35, told rescuers in weak voices that they survived by drinking water that seeped down from the shaft. They were taken to hospital and were in stable condition, the report said.

Rescuers said they had heard faint sounds coming from the trapped miners at 3 am on Sunday.

A total of 71 miners were working underground when the accident occurred on July 2, but most managed to escape, the report said. Eight bodies had been removed as of Sunday.

China's coal mines have a notoriously poor safety record, which the government has repeatedly pledged to address.

In 2010, 2,433 people died in coal mine accidents in China, according to official statistics -- a rate of more than six workers per day.

Labour rights groups, however, say the actual death toll is likely much higher, partly due to under-reporting of accidents as mine bosses seek to limit their economic losses and avoid punishment.

Sadly, the last few months have seen our nation embroiled in a wide array of crises. Topping the list has been the nearly imponderable question: Who will be America's Next Top Model? Thankfully, Tyra Banks is gracing us with Cycle 15, the grueling procedure that will ensure the U.S. has the perfect candidate in that crucial role.

Which brings us to Alabama's own Kendal, 23, who has many positive attributes, especially purity. But how does the lanky fox do it?

Cherries Jubilee Reviews

2/4 fork user rating

Vanilla is the classic ice cream partner for these boozy cherries, but try them with chocolate for a homemade version of Cherry Garcia.

Leave a Review

users rating
fork user rating

Decided to give this a try as a change from the recipe I've always done. Well, the lemon juice did give it a 'brighter' taste but with such a small amount of Brandy I could barely taste it let alone call it 'boozy'. I find that the traditional flaming using 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup of alcohol gives it a special taste that you just don't get any other way. Not to mention that most of the actual alcohol is burnt away during the flaming anyway. This just didn't work for me.

This tasted weird. I should have known better than to go off the family standard: pitted cherries, sugar, cornstarch (mixed with water), ALMOND EXTRACT, and kirsch.

I've been making Cherries Jubilee for 20 years based on a recipe I saw in a restaurant in Spokane, WA. I use 1 Tsp butter, heat the juice separate from the cherries so that they do not water down the sauce and use cornstarch to thicken it. I also add a couple dashes of cinnamon as my spice. I serve it warm and let it melt the ice cream.

Very simple and straightforward is correct as stated in the prior interview; in fact too much so. The brown sugar does not dissolve into the butter. There is an inbalance there. Later to thicken the sauce (we used fresh cherries), we resorted to a little cornstarch mixed w water. Cooling it so as not to melt the ice cream is important. Guests liked it, and the leftovers were excellent.

Very simple and straightforward recipe. Some notes: While the instructions indicated that the brown sugar dissolves into the butter, it doesn't actually dissolve, per se. Added 1 tsp of vanilla. They did miss the whole schtick of lighting the brandy. Also, this seemed to call for far too little brandy, so we doubled it.

The 'why', 'what', 'when' and 'how' factors of 'escaping legacy'

Roger Camrass is a highly respected thought leader, practitioner and facilitator within the new digital economy.

Having met with over forty of Europe's leading CIOs to discuss the 'state of digital innovation' in 2015, Roger identified 'Legacy' as the single, most immediate challenge in realising the full benefits of new digital technologies such as mobile, cloud, data analytics and social media.

His current research, 'escaping legacy', reveals how Boards and CIOs of FTSE100 companies recognise the growing 'technology debt' that could reduce their competitiveness in coming years, and encourage new entrants to take vital market share.

Roger's more recent book, 'Atomic: reforming the business landscape into the new structures of tomorrow' has helped Fortune 1000 companies such as BP and P&G rethink their business operating models.

Ins and outs of using a gas saw:

What do I do with the fuel?

Mix only enough fuel for a few days’ use. If a saw is used intermittently, it is a good idea to add fuel stabilizer to protect against moisture. Shake the saw for 30 seconds before every use to make sure the oil and gas are properly mixed. The oil and gas will start to separate as soon as the saw is left sitting unused.

When should the blade be changed?

Once the segments wear down to about 1/8-inch height, the blade is worn out. The blade may also slow down or stop cutting completely. If any visible cracks appear or the blade wobbles abnormally, it is time to replace the blade.

How can I reduce sparks from the saw?

Sparks cannot be stopped completely, but the choice of blade will affect the amount of sparks. Abrasive blades tend to have the most sparks, and diamond blades typically spark less. Sparks can be reduced by installing a spark arrestor on the saw. Operators should insure sparks are directed to an area where there are no people or flammable materials.

Virginia State Boat

Chesapeake Bay Deadrise

Virginia State Boat: Chesapeake Bay Deadrise

Adopted on March 25, 1988

Virginia designated the classic Chesapeake Bay deadrise workboat as the official state boat in 1988. During the first half of the 20th Century, a fleet of these boats worked the Chesapeake for oysters.

Simple but elegant, the deadrise was built specifically to work the shallow, choppy waters of the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers. Many watermen built their own boats, with unique variations on the basic design (differences in craftsmanship, materials, and detail).

The Chesapeake Bay deadrise or deadrise workboat is a type of traditional fishing boat used in the Chesapeake Bay. Watermen use these boats year round for everything from crabbing and oystering to catching fish or eels.

Traditionally wooden hulled, the deadrise is characterised by a sharp bow that quickly becomes a flat V shape moving aft along the bottom of the hull. A small cabin structure lies forward and a large open cockpit and work area aft.

Virginia State Boat: Chesapeake Bay Deadrise

Virginia State Boat: Chesapeake Bay Deadrise

Virginia shares Chesapeake Bay with Maryland. Like Maryland, it also has an official state boat- the Chesapeake Bay Deadrise.) The Chesapeake Bay deadrise is a wooden boat with a sharp bow, a tiny cabin, and a long cockpit. It can operate nearly everywhere on the bay for crabbing, oystering, and fishing. Delegate George Grayson and other tidewater legislators conferred to come up with a boat that could readily be identified with Virginia. Watermen and Bay scholars at the Mariners' Museum in Newport News and the Waterman's Museum in Yorktown agreed: the Deadrise. Grayson's bill was signed into law on March 25, 1988.

The deadrise design was developed around the 1880s. "Deadrise" refers to the V-shaped bottom at the bow and the angle formed from the keel as it levels off to a horizontal line with the rise from the keel upward to the chine (or sideboards). The sum of the dihedral angles always equals 180 degrees. A V-bottom is easier to build than a round bottom. It also has a shallow draft of two to three feet, making it ideal for the shallows of the Bay. The average deadrise workboat is 35 to 45 feet long with a beam of nine to twelve feet. The deadrise can use almost any engine, from an Olds 455 to a John Deere 6-cylinder, but diesel engines are preferred over regular gasoline because of their reliability.

The deadrise workboat is used by most watermen on the Chesapeake Bay. The deadrise accommodates the heavy, bulky equipment used for a variety of tasks. A culling board, and tongs or dredge are used in oystering in the winter months. Crab pots, bushel baskets, and trash cans are used during the summer crabbing season. Nets, stakes, and net tubes are used in setting gill nets year-round. The deadrise's size and capacity allow the waterman to travel farther across the Bay and carry more seafood back to market.

The deadrise has also become popular with pleasure boaters. These heavy-duty boats withstand long days of fishing and can carry large groups. The romance of the watermen's profession and nostalgia for the traditions of the Chesapeake Bay have created a market for these workhorses of the water.

Fleets of deadrises were a common sight in the late 1800s along the Chesapeake Bay. Sometimes more than three-hundred boats would be moored together at one landing. These fleets would leave early in the morning for oyster beds or crab pots and return late in the evening.

Funny Car points leader Capps sputters into Reading

This weekend's race in Reading, Pa., is the last event before the U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis when the "Countdown to Four" kicks in for the drivers who make it into the top eight at Maple Grove Raceway. There's only one spot left in the Funny Car class, and there are a bunch of drivers who want to earn that place, so it's going to be very interesting this weekend.

Leading the points for the Countdown for as long as we have, we've been able to test some things during a race weekend, and to hold on to the points lead while you're testing is very hard to do. You expect to be able to lose a lot of ground in points testing, but we still seem to be hanging on. We've been as high as 154 points ahead, and now we're up by 75 after losing in the first round the last three races. And, believe me, that is not what we wanted to do.

We came to a conclusion in Brainerd last Sunday that although we've been testing all these different things, the car we brought out in Topeka as a new car was not quite right. Here we've been testing a lot of other things and Ace (crew chief Ed McCulloch) went back a few times to his normal setup and the car just wouldn't react. Looking back, it's funny. Ace and I sat down with Ronnie Thompson, our assistant crew chief, going over the runs. The car just didn't seem to drive the same from my vantage point, and Ace would make huge changes he never would have before, but the car still wasn't reacting.

So, after we lost in the first round in Brainerd, we decided we were going to pull out our backup car and start running it in Reading. That's part of being on the great Don Schumacher Racing team. We're going to put a brand-new car together, we're going to unload it in Reading and we expect that car to go right down the track on the first pass in qualifying.

I've always bragged about my Brut Dodge crew. There aren't a lot of crews out there that could put a car together like that and make the first run and have the confidence.

But, here's the problem: We've been testing a lot of things. If we confirm that the chassis we brought out in Topeka just wasn't the same as what we expected, it will kind of throw all our testing into a question mark. Ace may have to put all those testing results into another folder and file them away to try them another time.

I knew something was weird in Topeka. To not qualify, even with a new car, was strange. But I figured it was something new we were trying and it was OK as far as the new Countdown went. But, you look at our round wins since Topeka (7-for-32), and it's really been horrible.

We'll see how this new car reacts. I'm probably more excited than I've been in several races. It's been unfortunate that maybe we will not be able to use all the testing data we collected, but at the same time I feel like this is the time we need to get back on the track. I think all the guys are excited.

We'll run the Brut test body for this one race, then we'll go back to the blue Revolution body in Indy.

We've had a lot of stuff thrown at us this year with the Countdown and everything else the NHRA has come up with. One of the biggest changes was the schedule. This year we're going to Reading before Indy, and that just doesn't seem right. We're so used to going to Reading after Indianapolis, so it's kind of strange.

Reading has now become the last race where you can claim points for both the Skoal Showdown and the Countdown, and routinely that racetrack has had national records set at it. It's going to be warmer going there in August instead of September, and it's a very hard track for a driver because the groove is always very narrow. But it's a very, very fast track.

You always kind of reach down and pull your belts a little tighter at Maple Grove Raceway, and now that this race is before Indy it's taking on a whole new importance.

Wish us luck.

Rajasthan v Mumbai, Ranji Trophy quarter-final, Jaipur, 2010-11 December 27, 2010

How David got the best of Goliath

It was a classic David v Goliath battle

It was a classic David v Goliath battle. After all we, Rajasthan, had finished at the bottom of the table in the Plate division last year and Mumbai had won the coveted Ranji Trophy more times than anyone else. Yes, we did turn things around a bit this season but how far do these teams from Plate division go in the men's world? Not too far

That's exactly what Mumbai thought while taking us on in what was deemed to be an easy quarter-final en route to their eventual destination - a place in the finals and perhaps the trophy in their hands one more time. They certainly had enough ammunition to ensure a safe and easy passage. All their batsmen were in top form coming into the knock-outs and their bowlers were doing enough to keep them on track. We, on the other hand, had done everything right so far to earn that all important promotion to the Elite division. For most teams who make the cut, the journey beyond promotion is considered a bonus. What makes their progress even tougher is that they invariably play one of the finalists from last season, which in reality means the toughest match of the season.

We found ourselves in a similar situation and managed to keep the temptation of providing an under-prepared wicket for the match against the defending champions at bay. If you're up against much stronger opposition, it's advisable to leave a lot in the track to bridge the gap as the better team will rout lesser opposition on an even surface nine out of 10 times. Another reason for not going for an under-prepared track was that our strength lies in our batting and we wanted to back it to score whatever Mumbai would score. The second hurdle was the decision to bat or bowl first. While the track was dry and a good one to bat on day one, we would have opted to bowl first in order to extract anything the track had to offer. It goes without saying that we needed all the help we could get to stall such an experienced and talented batting line-up. But Mumbai captain Wasim Jaffer won the toss and made the decision for us by electing to bat first.

But what followed after that left everyone gobsmacked. Three things were consistent throughout the day: 1. The track played true and along expected lines; 2. We bowled with a lot of discipline and 3. Mumbai batsmen continued to play airy-fairy shots as if we were not competing but only participating in the contest. The Mumbai batting, which is known for its khadoos (never-say-die) attitude, was the last thing on show. What we witnessed was flamboyance bordering on carelessness and far too many shots in too short a time. Pankaj [Singh], [Deepak] Chahar, [Sumit] Mathur and [Vivek] Yadav did the basics right, pitched the ball in the right areas and the batsmen obliged.

The team which wasn't considered even a patch on their opposition was suddenly in the driver's seat and calling the shots. The batting line-up which bats right down to number nine was bowled out for a paltry total of 252 and now, all we needed to do was to bat sensibly and we did just that.

Everyone, at one point or the other, has been humiliated by Mumbai in their career. Such is the strength of the team that they invariably end up on the winning side rubbing more salt into old wounds. And that brings out the best in players to get the record straight, even if it's once in a while. And that's why every win against them feels a lot sweeter too. Well, it's not often that you have the champions on the mat and the moment is worth a lot more than just a result going your way.

    An underdog story is always fun...Go Rajasthan!! After following TN cricket for such a long time I can't possibly root for another team to beat TN - so I say to Rajasthan - my best wishes to play your best cricket but lose out by the smallest of margins! :)

    No Mumbai to beat - No better opportunity TN!!!

  • fanedlive on December 29, 2010, 3:22 GMT

    i really dont know how many players foreign players (other state players) represented rajasthan team .Anyhow how kudos to them for beating mumbai after really missing twice recently.

  • fanedlive on December 29, 2010, 2:30 GMT

    weeketkeeper is the only weakness in this Rajasthan Team. WK Jhalani is consistantly failure with bat for last 2-3 years. He could be replaced with Nikhil Doru who is aa established batsman wirh more than 3000 run with 7 centuries in first class cricket.With that this team will be a perfect combination to win Ranji Trophy.

  • fanedlive on December 29, 2010, 2:22 GMT

    Rajasthan looks to be a champion team now and may win the Ranji Trophy this year. This team has a weakness in weeket keeper who could not bat consistently. There is weeket keeper in waiting nikhil doru, who is a established batsman with more than 3000 run with 7 hundreds to his credit from 65 first class matches. He has recovered from the injury, should be given chance

  • fanedlive on December 29, 2010, 2:14 GMT

    As a TN fan i would like to say thank u rajasthan for beating MUMBAI.As some one mentioned in the comment i too watch closely the round robin matches and just want to say that we are not lucky team, we are well deserved team to be in semis.Rain actually stopped our march,particularley in alloting the grounds..Watch out for Karthc and Badri...BOTH deserved to be in SA tour.

  • fanedlive on December 28, 2010, 13:33 GMT

    Rajastan won against mumbai by nothing other than fluke.Rajastan's semi final match will prove that.

  • fanedlive on December 28, 2010, 12:55 GMT

    It's very nice that Mumbai were eliminated in the quarter finals by less faniced Rajasthan. Mumbai teams behaviour in last season's final against karnataka was their worst and no remorse for their elimination....Good rajasthan...keep it up

  • fanedlive on December 28, 2010, 12:52 GMT

  • fanedlive on December 28, 2010, 10:15 GMT

    TN has to play 7 batsmen and 4 bowlers(either Sam or Aushik).

    And SS Kumar needs to be included. Donno y he was excluded last match!!!

  • fanedlive on December 28, 2010, 8:54 GMT

    Great ! take a bow Guys...You have done so well in this session, Thanks a lot for this effort. Go n Play well in next against TN and stick to basics, You can make it to finals. All the very Best, Make the Rajasthani's feel more proud.

Rodwell: Pellegrini wants Barca style

Manchester City midfielder Jack Rodwell says new manager Manuel Pellegrini is slowly introducing to his squad a style of football reminiscent of Barcelona.

Pellegrini took over from the sacked Roberto Mancini at the end of last season, and currently has his City players on a pre-season tour of South Africa.

After experiencing success in Spain with Villareal and Malaga, Pellegrini is now evidently making his mark on a City side aiming to reclaim the Premier League crown from rivals United.

Rodwell told The Sun: "Pellegrini likes us to press high up and press in numbers, to get the ball back as soon as possible and then play simple football.

"He wants us to keep the ball until we're in the final third and then see. It's early and he hasn't gone into too much detail - he's gradually
drip-feeding us.

"You look at Barcelona and what they do and it works for them so hopefully we'll adapt."

No Price For The Mad

Most Popular

Back in 2010, as part of a biannual act of madness by which the magazine endeavors to analyze every congressional race in the country, I had occasion to talk to Tarryl Clark, who was challenging Michele Bachmann on behalf of the splendidly name Democratic Farmer-Labor Party for Bachmann's job in Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District. How, I asked Clark, does one make good use of the rich trove of lunacy that is Bachmann's entire public career.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

"Well," Clark told me. "I'm not going to call her crazy, if that's what you mean."

In fact, that was exactly what I meant.

The great failing of the Democratic party over the past three-and-a-half decades has been the party's failure to take political advantage of the obvious prion disease that has afflicted the Republican party since it first ate all the monkey-brains in the mid-1970's. Whether this was out of cowardice, incompetence, or an overly optimistic view of the inherent sanity of the electorate, is no longer an issue. The failure to make the Republican crazee the Republican party's standing public identity has encouraged the increased spread, and the increased virulence of the prion disease, with disastrous consequences for the rest of us. Why, in the name of god, would you not call Michele Bachmann crazy? Because it might offend the people who vote for her? It's supposed to offend those people. Those people beg to be offended, and, by doing so, you at least inject into the discussion the notion that the Republican party has thrown its marbles gleefully to the four winds. A few elections later, that may become the general opinion. After all, the Permanent Republican Majority wasn't built in a day.

Most Popular

We are seeing yet another example of this failure at the moment in Iowa. Bruce Braley is running for the Senate against the famous swine de-baller Joni Ernst, and recent polls are indicating that Ernst has broken open something of a lead. Further, she is starting to get something of a pass on not knowing fk-all. (In their debate over the weekend, she cited cap-and-trade as something devastating to Iowa agriculture. Cap and trade, of course, never passed.) All of this despite the fact that Joni Ernst is a complete fking loon, and she has been a complete fking loon ever since she put down the de-balling blade and ran for office. She supported a Personhood Amendment. She has called for the impeachment of the president and the nullification of federal laws, putting herself on the wrong side of political issues for over 150 years. She is a lifelong Truther regarding our old pal, Agenda 21, the secret UN plan to steal all our golfs. She shouldn't be allowed into the United States Senate on a tour, let alone as one of its 100 members. This is more than just a message sponsored by the Committee To Not Electing Morons. There are only 100 senators. If Iowa elects this crackpot, it is going to affect all of us in some very important ways.

But it looks like it just might. In one of those quirks that mark conventional political journalism as being anything except a job for grown-ups, it seems that Ernst is now getting credit for designing a lovely, gleaming structure of platitudes over the batshit positions she previously held. The success of that project, in the world of campaign journalism, is supposed to trump everything she once stood for. She is now considered to be a "great campaigner," because she's proven somewhat gifted at avoiding drooling in public. Since the press won't do it, it's up to Braley, and Braley seems to have fallen down completely on the job. He keeps slanging her about the Koch Brothers, and about the minimum wage, but not about the fact that she spent her entire career prior to this race in a lovely little bungalow on the outskirts of Krazytown. If there were already an existing narrative about how the Republican party has rendered itself into Bedlam, it wouldn't be so hard for Braley to make the case now, because the campaign press loves it some existing narrative. Beats working for a living.

Consider, for a second, how many Democratic candidates had to labor under the narrative that their party was "soft on defense" because a narrative had been established for that in 1972, when a decorated combat pilot named George McGovern was routed by history's yard waste, Richard Nixon, and how we then watched the celebrated rise of Ronald Reagan who, when McGovern was crash-landing his crippled bomber, was defending the bar of the Brown Derby against the infiltration of starlets. Imagine if, after electing the fools and lightweights to the Senate in 1980, the Democrats were able to construct and sell the notion that the Republican party had surrendered itself to its fringe. If they'd been able to do that, Joni Ernst could be seen as a symptom and not a senator. Ah, well...

Why Kanye's Adidas Collection Doesn't Matter

Kanye let his need to be loved overshadow the clothes at his recent Adidas fashion show.

Most Popular

Kanye is just like Alex Rodriguez: they both just want to be loved. Kanye wants to be loved by the fashion world more than anything else, and like Alex Rodriguez, the more he wants to be loved, the more hated he is.

His strained desire to "make it" in fashion is all too apparent in his new Adidas collection that debuted in New York City last night. By now you've surely seen the Adidas Yeezy 750 Boost shoe, and those of you that care have probably seen the photos of the clothes too. And what you've seen is something just as uninspired, boring, and off base as his last attempt at fashion, the disastrous Dw Kanye West line.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

With pre-distressed sweaters, hanging sweatshirts, and his mouse-grey Yeezy Boost kicks, it's clear Kanye was hoping to come close to the heights reached by Yohji Yamamoto's Y-3 line for Adidas. And the fact that Kanye is trying way too hard is painfully apparent.

Even worse is that, is that the Yeezy 750 Boost will retail for $350, which is $105 more than Kanye's Nike Air Yeezy 2 originally cost at retail, indicating that the rest of his collection will likely come with a higher pricepoint than might be warranted. The collection may sell to diehard fans, but it lacks the innovative eye and visual punch to matter much more beyond that. Which, if you think about it, is a little bit sad. Whatever happens, I'm sure Kanye will try again. And again. And again, just looking for a little bit of stylish love he's unlikely to ever find.

Ebay or gumtree...?
Selling stuff

I did a bit of a trinny & Suzannah on my wardrobe yesterday and threw out heaps of stuff ....but I've got a pile of stuff in really good condition which for one reason or another I won't wear anymore (maternity clothes etc) ...and baby stuff as well, so I thought I might try selling it. Even if I only get $100 for the whole lot hey- that's $100! I'm a complete novice at this so not sure whether to go down the eBay path or gumtree..anyone have any recommendation either way? I am registered at eBay to buy stuff and I have a PayPal account. From what I can tell eBay takes a cut of any money I may get, whereas gumtree seems to be a free ride...? Any tips or experiences would be welcome! Thanks!

I've sold a lot of baby clothes on eBay but by the time eBay took their percentage and the hassle of going to the post office it just wasn't worth the time or money. Plus I found people weren't willing to bid too much on eBay knowing the postage of about $6 on top made a bargain not quite a bargain. I like that gumtree is free and they come to you.

#3 noi'mnot

Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:07 AM

For the things that I buy on online auction sites, I've found ebay to have a bigger range and better quality of items. This is particularly true for clothing, in my experience.

Because of this I'd be inclined to go with Ebay, but I do understand your hesitation due to fees and such. I don't think the postage pain is such a big deal if you make all of your auctions end at around the same time so that you only do one trip to the post office for everything all together, or get prepaid satchels for postage.

What about a buy/sell/swap facebook page? Some areas have ones dedicated to baby & kids stuff. In our last town the stuff moved very quickly... A very effective way of buying & selling. My new town has just started one. I will definately be using this option when it is time to get rid of our stuff!

#8 Becca1605

I've sold quite a bit successfully on gumtree - it's great cause it's free! I would try there first.

#9 Lucrezia Borgia

Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:37 AM

Thanks for your replies everyone...I am on Facebook so I will check out the buy and sell groups there...

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for reselling a designer item? I have one piece which is a Dolce & Gobbana silk top..it was a present from a friend of my mothers (she lives overseas), its a lovely top, it just looks awful on me! I imagine I might be able to re sell it for a fairly decent price, however it may not attract many offers on eBay or gumtree. There used to be a place near where I live (inner west Sydney) which specialised in "pre loved" designer wear, but they have closed down. Any recommendations would be welcome! Thanks

most states/locations will have a baby and kids buy and sell facebook page. I have found these great to sell of maternity items, toys and kids clothing. It's free and like gumtree they come to you.

#11 SUSIE25

Posted 19 November 2012 - 10:33 AM

I prefer the FB pages. I get more no shows on Gumtree. Ebay to exxy when it comes to fees when you are selling small value items.   On FB, if you are able to put the details on the actual photo itself before you upload, it will save retyping details into other pages.

Posted 19 November 2012 - 06:04 PM

In my experience Gumtree is full of unreliable buyers, scammers, thiefs and a few genuine buyers:

- I have had numerous people just not turn up

- I've received messages saying "I'm really interested, but won't be in Sydney until next week, give me your bank account details and I will put the money in and then collect when I'm in Sydney

- then there's the Paypal deposit scam which seems to be used for car purchases - I've just heard about this one

- and I've had my home broken into during the process of moving.  I don't have proof but I'm pretty sure it was the guys who collected the "free BBQ" who needed to clean their hands afterwards thereby checking out the TV in lounge.  What a shame for them that we moved the TV before they broke in.  They got our old laptop and that was about it.

- oh and the buyers who are sooooo interested they can collect in 1 hour, but then when you suggest a public place for pick up you never hear from them

So saying all of the above, I have bought numerous items on Gumtree and had no problems.

My tip is to stear clear of Gumtree to sell items.  Ebay is much cheaper than getting scammed, broken into or just being let down.  Of course you can get let down on ebay but everyone has a rating to protect.

#13 MAGS24

Posted 19 November 2012 - 06:09 PM

The problem that I find with Ebay is having to compete with the Ebay stores If I lower my postage as much as the Ebay stores then I am losing money, plus all the time and effort into advertising the item, then hoping the person who "wins" the bid will actually pay, since Ebay doesn't allow sellers to give negative feedback.

I have a lot of books and dvd's to sell so am thinking that a garage sale might work out better for me than Ebay.

#14 Lucrezia Borgia

Posted 19 November 2012 - 06:28 PM

Hmmm...thanks guys...a lot to think about! Might look into the FB thing. I agree a garage sale is a good idea, not sure if I have enough items to make that worth my while.....

Deus Ex Creator Laments Half-Life Game Cancellation

/ 2 years ago

warren spector 1

Deus Ex creator Warren Spector recently took part in a reddit AMA, during which he discussed a cancelled Half-Life game that his Junction Point Studio was working on, which was to feature what Spector describes as the “magnetic gun”, which may have rivalled the gravity gun as Half-Life’s coolest weapon.

In his AMA answer, Spector describes to Valve bailed Junction Point out of a difficult financial position by giving the company the opportunity to work on the sadly cancelled Half-Life episode:

“Junction Point had a project cancelled (we can talk about that, too, if you want). There was no money. Basically, Valve came in like a white knight and offered us some work on a Half Life episode set in a part of the Half Life universe that hadn’t been explored deeply. In addition, just because my team couldn’t just do anything the easy way, we decided to add a new tool to the Half Life universe – the magnet gun. We came up with some COOL stuff to do with the magnet gun. Valve decided to move in another direction but I still wish they’d do something with the magnet gun. It was fun.”

Spector was also complimentary regarding Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the Eidos Montreal sequel to his 2000 classic Deus Ex, saying the game – which he had no hand in, apart from creating its predecessor – had him hooked:

“What did I think of DX:HR? Well, for starters, I don’t finish a lot of games and I finished DX:HR. That’ll tell you something. When I DID finish it, I kinda sat back and thought, “Wow, I just had a Deus Ex experience.” It sounded like DX and felt like DX. It was pretty cool.

The Eidos Montreal guys made some design decisions I wouldn’t have made, but overall, I was really pleased.

Now, having said that, my one regret is that the movie deal I had back in 2000 never made it to the screen and now there’s no chance it ever will, ’cause DX, the original, is kind of old news.”
