If you’ve started a business, or you’re thinking about starting a business, you will likely need to accept credit cards.
There are very few businesses in 2019 that can operate in 2019 without accepting credit cards.
Most businesses these days accept payments online, so you know they accept credit cards.
If they don’t accept credit cards, they are losing out on a lot of business, and a lot of money.
These days, nearly 77% of consumers prefer using their credit or debit card over cold hard cash.
So, if you’re about to open a restaurant, gas station, retail store, hair salon, or an online business especially, there’s a good chance you’re going to need to process credit card payments.
We all use them, but how exactly does it work?
We swipe a card in the store, the card reader reads it, and then the money leaves our bank, and somehow gets to the store’s bank account.
We don’t question it; that’s just how it is.
However, if you’re opening a business, it’s in your best interest to understand the basics of how credit card processing works.
That’s what we’ll discuss in this article. Read on to learn more.
To start, let’s talk about the key players in the process.
These are the business and individuals responsible for getting your money from your bank to the business you’re supporting.
The processor is the messenger that facilitates communication between the businesses bank and the customer’s bank.
They secure the payment data and make sure all transactions adhere to the rules made by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
The processors collect a fee from the businesses for providing their services.
The fee is either fixed, or it’s a percentage markup on top of the interchange fees they pass on to the merchant at cost.
This is the bank that handles the money of the business you are supporting.
The merchant bank can also act as a card processor, although recent trends have shown that more and more businesses are switching to third parties.
The merchant banks provide the businesses with all the equipment needed to accept cards, and they deposit the funds into the merchant account once the sale processes.
Again, however, the role of the merchant bank continues to decline.
Companies like PayPal, Stripe, and Square are taking over a lot of the roles traditionally held by Merchant Banks.
The card network’s job is to work with the processors to transport data between the issuing bank and the merchant.
They are also responsible for setting interchange and assessment fees by the networks.
Although the networks set the fees, they don’t collect all of them.
These fees, which are the largest cost involved in credit card processing, are passed on to the issuing bank.
The networks collect the assessment fees that are just a fraction of what the interchange fees are.
This is the customer’s bank, that issued the credit or debit card they chose to use at your store.
The primary role the consumer bank plays is determining if the customer has adequate funds to complete the transaction, and then releasing the funds to complete the purchase.
The type of card the customer has will determine the interchange fees.
Typically, the more rewards a card gives the customer, the more expensive its interchange fees will be.
Now we’ll take a look at the overall process the pulls all the key players together to complete the transaction from start to finish.
It’s a six-step process that on average takes about 15 seconds to complete.
The first step of the process depends on the consumer.
Without a customer wanting to buy something, the process never starts.
The card processing starts when the consumer hands over their credit card information to the business by swiping, inserting the chip, or giving it to the cashier.
Next up is the merchant accepting and collecting the payment information.
This happens one of two ways.
The payment is accepted physically in ” card present” transactions.
This happens at a storefront with a card reader.
Or, the process happens online.
Instead of a card reader, the merchant uses an online gateway to collect payment from their customers.
The processor takes over from here.
The credit card processor collects the information and routes it across the other stages, facilitating communications between various parties.
The first and most important step is to send the payment information to the card network.
Your customer’s card operates on one of the major credit card networks.
We all know these by heart; Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express are the most common.
Once one of the networks receives the payment information from the processor, they pass it along to your customer’s bank.
That’s where we are at step five.
The consumer’s bank receives the payment request and then verify whether or not the consumer has enough money to complete the purchase.
Sometimes the bank will run additional security measures to verify if the purchase is legitimate.
Once the purchase is deemed legitimate, and the customer has enough money, the consumer bank allows the transaction to go through.
The most common reasons the consumer bank would reject the transaction is insufficient funds, the credit limit has been reached, or the bank thinks it’s fraudulent.
And now we’ve come full circle back to the merchant.
The message of whether or not the transaction has been allowed flows back through the system and makes it to the merchant.
If the customer used his card in a storefront, this comes through as an “Approved” or “Declined” message.
If it’s approved, the merchant hands over the product and the purchase is complete.
All in about 15 seconds.
Even though the transaction is complete between the business and customer, no funds have been released yet.
That’s an entirely separate process that could take several days to complete involving the same players we talked about above.
You don’t need an extensive working knowledge of how the system works, but it’s good to have an idea.
The steps listed above give you a good idea of how it works and should help you if anything were to go wrong during the process.
If you’re looking for a credit card processor, EMS Corporate is one of the best options on the market today.
They are not only reliable and trusted by countless businesses, but they save them a lot of money as well.

Monica and Ross were living outside when a volunteer saw them and wanted to help. She didn’t want them producing more kittens, so she trapped them, and they were able to get spayed/neutered at our clinic. Because they were such sweet kitties, she didn’t want to release them back outside, so she fostered them until space was available at Good Mews. She spent a lot of time working on socializing them and it paid off! They are very sweet, affectionate kitties, but they are still shy in new environments. But once they know they can trust you and you want to be their friend, they will open up and let you in. They are fun little guys that love to have a good time. They love to play with all sorts of toys and they enjoy wrestling and chasing each other. Once they settle down, they will curl up with each other. This brother/sister duo love each other so much, they are required to be adopted together!

On Thursday May 25th, 1995, a proposed constitutional amendment that would make it illegal to burn the American flag passed its first test. The amendment passed the Constitution subcommittee 7-5 and went on to the full Judiciary Committee.
"The Congress and the states shall have power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States"
The amendment is in response to Supreme Court rulings in 1989 and 1990 that struck down federal and state statutes prohibiting flag desecration, holding that those laws infringed on the right to free speech and expression under the First Amendment. Supporters of the amendment say the flag deserves special protection because it symbolizes freedom and unites a diverse country. Opponents say burning the flag is a form of free speech and should be protected - a position the U.S. Supreme Court has taken. If the amendment is adopted by the Senate and ratified by the states, it would be the first revision to the Bill of Rights since it was passed in 1792. Although passage is not assured, it is clear that arguments based on constitutional principles will have a formidable opponent in the emotional appeals of the amendment's champions.
On Wednesday June 28th, 1995, the full House approved the amendment, the vote being 312-120, with 93 Democrats joining 219 Republicans in the majority, while 12 Republicans sided with 107 Democrats and the chambers lone independent in opposing the measure. The measure went on to the Senate Judiciary Committee where it was approved 12-6 on July 20th,1995. A two-thirds majority in the full Senate is necessary to pass a constitutional amendment. If passed by the Senate the measure would then need to be ratified by 38 of the 50 states within seven years to add the language to the Constitution. It is not subject to a presidential veto.
By Tuesday December 12th,1995, the Senate was ready to vote on the measure, with the vote being 63-36 in favor of the amendment, three short of the two-thirds needed to propose an amendment for ratification by the states.
"Isn't it ridiculous that the American people are denied the right to protect their unique national symbol in the law?" said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin G. Hatch, (R-Utah), floor manager for the proposed amendment. To fail to protect the flag demeans it, he said. Opponents argued that flag burnings are extremely rare, with the Congressional Research Service reporting three incidents last year and none the year before - hardly enough, they said, to merit an assault on free-speech rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. "The flag is important but the freedom of speech is more important," said Minority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.).
President Clinton opposed the amendment, although aides said he would be open to legislation banning flag desecration, rather than changing the Constitution. Hatch blamed Clinton for the amendment's defeat and said it will be introduced again.

I read with interest the letters on your Flag web page, and while people who want a flag burning amendment suggest how wonderful this country is, and those who do not suggest how awful this country has been, I believe both have missed the point.
When Joe Friday would arrest someone, he'd read the suspect his rights. "You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney..." There isn't a sofa spud in this country who doesn't know those lines. The troubling thing is, does anyone really know what a "right" is anymore?
Discussion of a Constutitional amendment to ban the burning of the American flag is what makes me wonder.
Now, I love the Constitution. I think it is a wonderfully strong and yet flexible document for republican government, and I admire and marvel at the philosophy behind it. But what worries me--what frightens me, in fact--is that few seem to understand that philosophy anymore.
The purpose of our government, as proposed by the Founding Fathers, is to protect the rights of individuals. These rights, to quote an early draft of the Declaration of Independence, are truths which are "sacred and undeniable." And the rights we all possess are "inherent and inalienable."
What rights are those? The right to freedom of speech and religion, right? The right to keep and bear arms. The right to a just trial by a jury of our peers. And so on. Those and other rights are mentioned specifically in the first ten amendments to our Constitution, in a section called The Bill of Rights.
But does anyone remember why those are rights? There's a philosophy behind those ideas. All those rights have something in common--they all seek to assure that no innocent individual is forced against his will.
That is really the only right--the right from which all others stem--the right to be free from the initiation of physical coercion.
You have a right to speak freely because doing so does not force someone to listen. You have a right to own a firearm because merely doing so does not kill someone. You have the right to remain silent if arrested--because you're not initiating the use of force on someone if you do.
You DON'T have the right to steal from me, because you're initiating physical force on me if you do. You DON'T have the right to take my life, because I own it and it's an initiation of violence to kill me. You DON'T have the right to keep me from owning a rifle, because you'd be initiating the use of force to do that. And you DON'T have the right to keep me from speaking, because you'd have to use your fist or a gun to do that.
So what right is being protected by an amendment which bans flag burning? Where is the violence initiated? And against whom?
Against no one. Flags don't have rights, only people do, and while I agree that burning the flag is offensive, individuals don't have the right to not be offended. If they did, we could outlaw liberals, couldn't we? And if they were back in power they could outlaw us. Is that what we want? Arbitrary banning of thoughts and ideas? Limiting free speech because we don't like the message?
If you want to limit the speech or actions of others because their opinions offend you, then how long do you think you have before your opinions are censored because others find them offensive as well?
Liberty, despite what some may think, is a very concrete concept. To have it means to possess the ability to do as you wish, without infringing upon someone else's self-same right.
Our flag is a symbol of that liberty, and in fact is a symbol of our right to burn it if we see fit. If a law is passed which says I can't, I'll be the first one taking a match to the stars and stripes.
How could I despoil that which I love? Because nothing could possibly desecrate that symbol more than a law which contradicts everything for which it stands.
While I understand your awesome patriotism and closely represent the same values, I believe that your essay seems to miss a couple of very important points that also support our heritage. Before I continue, let me say that I am very impressed with the clarity of your message through your World Wide Web page. But, while I support your right to broadcast your views, and I even support those views in most cases, I cannot endorse your belief that the Constitution of the United States of America should be amended with an exception to the First Amendment!
I know that my response to your WWW page is long, but although I appreciate your interpretation of the First Amendment and applaud your patriotism, I would like to point out the fact that the proposed flag burning amendment is not ONLY unconstitional but also in direct conflict with the ideals of freedom and historical origin of this country.
First, of all, the Bill of Rights insures, without reservation or equivocation, every person's right to freedom of expression. More importantly, the Bill of Rights actually gaurantees that this GOD GIVEN right shall not be abridged by the congress of the United States. There is no exception to our freedom of expression!
Obviously, the congress has passed laws which, from a specific point of view, seem to abridge free speech. These laws are intended to protect citizens from harm, whether physical or emotional. It has been the business of the Supreme Court to decide the constitutionality of these laws, deciding whether acts deemed illegal by congress are truly expressions of opinion or just malicious behavior. But, in cases where the endeavor in question can be reasonably construed as expression, I always fall back on the words of a man very influential to the framing of the founding doctrine of our country, Benjamin Franklin, A man who gives up some of his freedom in pursuit of security deserves neither security nor freedom!
Even given the monstrosity of flag-burning according to people like you and me who love this country, Old Glory, and all the ideals they represent, we must by definition grant that the burning of the flag is an expression. Yes, it is an expression which we may find unthinkable and extremely demeaning to our values, but it IS an act of speech, protected by the First Amendment.
There is a belief that flag burning is an issue beyond free speech and the First Amendment. Why do many believe this to be true? People say that the flag represents our countryâs freedom, our way of life, and American patriotism. I do not argue with this, in fact I feel that anyone who truly espouses these ideals can also fend off philosophical attacks on them and also defend the right of the person(s) to critique them.
>From a historical point of view, it is offensive to come back to the basis of our great founding doctrine and claim there are exceptions to those statements which were made so resolutely and have withstood the test of over 200 years. The undying strength of our country and our way of life is firmly entrenched in the simple, yet well-structured Bill of Rights to the United States Constitution. How can any group of people, though well intentioned, conceive to make deviations to this perfect definition of the United States and claim to represent the People or the U.S. Constitution?
The basis of the Bill of Rights was a set of unbending, absolute, freedoms that we are given to by God. The First Amendment - protecting religious practice, expression, journalism, peaceful assembly, and petitioning the government for redress of grievances - was established with a personal history of these rights being demolished. The founding fathers put in writing ideals for every person in the world to believe in and model. They knew that, to protect any single instance of these rights, government oppression must be subdued so that no other case could be abridged.
The present realities of our country have brought into question our morals, our ethics, and the motives of our government - both elected and appointed. Let us not further question our ideals by breaking down the foundation of those ideals to appease those who are insulted by the actions of others. This amend-ment, while on the surface almost seems reasonable based on defending the symbol of our country, is actually a symptom of a cancer that threatens to blow a hole in our ideals as a country. Should we adjust our ideals to fit society, or do we adjust society to fit our ideals? Given that our ideals of society (beyond religion) are based on those same ones scribed by Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, etc., the choice is obvious!
I know it is an often over-used theme attributed to the Îradical, extremist rightâ in our country, but I must say it: If we allow this one exception to the Constitution, what is to stop the landslide of exceptions following this precedent? Are we to turn into criminals everyone who carries a gun, sell off the property of someone just because he is accused of dealing in drugs, or allow police to freely charge through the home of private citizens without a warrant or with a warrant of questionable or generalized search provisions?
Precedents are the basis of change and consist of good ones and bad ones, as determined by the subsequent deeds which claim kinship of that precedence! The generalized logic of this precedent and the thought of revising an ideal so simple should bring defenders of the U.S. Constitution to attention. It was Thomas Jefferson who warned us that government is subject to the people but ã...eternal vigilance is the price of liberty!
Let us assume that this proposed amendment was passed and implemented into the Constitution! This, by design, allows legislative bodies across the country create laws that prohibit people from desecrating the Flag of the United States. OK, this is what you want, right? Well! Get ready for the extreme onslaught of legal attacks that pull and yank the boundaries of these laws... if ãflag burningä is to become illegal, who decides: Is the flag considered to be nylon-material on a flag-pole or is it any representation of Old Glory that we all know and love? Is virtual flag burning going to be illegal? Finally, after virtual flag burning and drawing pictures of flags burning is illegal, will it be a felony to talk about burning flags? Am I being unreasonable? I certainly think not, because these challenges are going to come VERY fast!
1) If the Flag of the United States of America is so important that we must protect it from physical desecration, why has it gone through so many changes? As states have been added to our Union, stars are added to represent them. Why do the armed forces display the flag when in battle? There is destruction in nearly every battle, and we cannot expect Old Glory to survive every one unscathed!
2) What is truly more important and worth protecting? The United States of America - the people, the Constitution, and our freedoms - or a symbol which represents these things to most people? Given a choice between a physical thing and a personâs life or freedoms, the thing loses EVERY time!!! Even if the thing is symbolic of great ideals, I know in my heart that destruction of that physical thing IN NO WAY diminishes those ideals.
God bless you, and may the ideals of our founding fathers shine through these troubled times!

The split-ballot multitrait-multimethod (SB-MTMM) approach has been used to evaluate the measurement quality of questions in survey research. It aims to reduce the response burden of the classic MTMM design, which requires repeating alternative formulations of a survey measure to the same respondent at least three times, by using combinations of two methods in multiple groups. The SB-MTMM approach has been applied to the European Social Survey (ESS) to examine the quality of questions across countries, including the differences in response design and measurement errors. Despite wide application of the SB-MTMM design in Europe, it is yet unknown whether the same quality of survey instruments can be achieved in both a different cultural context and in a logographic writing system, like the one in Taiwan.
This study tests for measurement invariance and compares measurement quality in Taiwan and Denmark, by estimating the reliability and validity of different response scales using the SB-MTMM approach. By using the same questions as in the ESS, a cross-cultural comparison is made, in order to understand whether the studied response scales perform equally well in Taiwan, compared to a European country. Results show that quality estimates are comparable across countries.

Jerusalem-bound Route 1 reopened late Saturday; light snow and low temperatures felt throughout weekend, storm to pass by late Saturday; Defense ministry deploys equipment, food rations to assist emergency services.
The Defense Ministry deployed a large quantity of heavy vehicles, equipment, and food rations to assist emergency services operating in the snow in Jerusalem and the North.
Over 30 vehicles, bulldozers, plows, tractors, generators, and salt scattering trucks have been sent to roads around the capital and Safed. Containers of fuel and diesel fuel have been sent to police to assist people stranded without electricity.
The Jerusalem Municipality and police were also working to reopen roads and restore travel as normal to and from the capital. Public transportation within the city was set to resume at dusk Saturday, and buses and taxis were due to operate on interurban passages along Route 1.
Route 1 reopened for Jerusalem-bound traffic Saturday night, although Highway 443 still had some 400 abandoned vehicles, likely precluding it from reopening until Sunday.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said drivers of abandoned cars should wait until Sunday morning to come to the city to retrieve their vehicles, which he said will be stored near the entrance to the city.
"Our main concern right now is opening the highways for travel again," he said Saturday night.
Rosenfeld also urged all Jerusalem residents to take precaution in dealing with downed electrical lines and other electrical malfunctions.
"Due to the ongoing electricity problem, we are calling on the public to be aware of what's going on with their neighbors electricity and to ensure safety measures are closely followed," he said. "It is very important to safely monitor all electrical lines during this time."
Jerusalem's Light Rail will remain closed Saturday night and Sunday morning. The municipality said it was working to resume Light Rail operations as soon as possible.
Schools, including kindergartens, were set to be closed Sunday in Jerusalem, the northern Golan and Safed.
Electricity returned on Saturday evening to residencies in the Golan Heights after winter storms caused widespread power outages over the weekend, said the Golan Regional Council.
On Saturday morning, a chunk of the country's residents remained without electricity as precipitation continued. While at around 9 a.m., the Israel Electric Corporation reported that 29,600 households were without power, only two-and-a-half hours later the company upgraded that number to 35,000 – or 1.4% of the country's total 2.5 million customers. About 13,000 of these outages were in Jerusalem and 2,400 were in Safed, the company said.
Emphasizing that crews worked throughout the entire night to restore power to customers, the company said that it continues to operate in emergency settings, and that "it will take a long time to fix problems," warning that broken wires pose life threatening dangers.
Due to conditions, Israel Railways operated a special train on Saturday departing from Jerusalem toward Haifa.
The two special trains departed at their scheduled times of 11:00 a.m and 2:00 p.m, and an additional train departed at 4:00 p.m. and stopped at the following stations: the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo, Beit Shemesh, Lod, Tel Aviv Savidor center, Netanya, Binyamina and Haifa Hof Hakarmel.
Due to fears of a potentially overflowing Ayalon River on Friday night – when the river was about 50 centimeters from spilling over – the Israel Police closed a portion of the Ayalon Highway from 9:30 to 11 p.m.
However, after it became clear that the level of the Ayalon River had once again receded, the police reopened the highway to traffic, which was flowing as normal on Saturday morning, according to Netivei Ayalon. At that time, the company said that the Ayalon water level was 170 centimeters below the road.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Saturday there are three main goals during storm recovery efforts: to save lives and help those in need, especially the elderly, to restore power to the areas still cut off, and to prepare for floods that are expected in the coming days due to heavy rains.
Netanyahu assessed the situation during a telephone call with various ministers and army officials, and stressed the importance of working together during recovery efforts, Channel 2 reported.
Police worked to help dozens of drivers stranded on Jerusalem's streets and on the entry roads into the capital as intermittent snow continued to fall on Friday morning. Roads to the capital remained closed Friday morning. In the evening outbound lanes of Route 1 closed again to traffic from Jerusalem in the direction of Tel Aviv.
IDF vehicles and snow plows were also aiding police and municipal employees in efforts to aid motorists.
Ben-Gurion Airport closed on Friday for about an hour due to the storm battering the country.
The Home Front Command set up a control center in Latrun overnight Friday, and deployed units to snow-stricken areas. Drivers stranded on Route 1 and Route 443 at the entrance to Jerusalem were being evacuated to emergency help centers established at the Jerusalem Convention Center, in Mevaseret Zion and at the Ofer military camp.
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat turned to IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz and Jerusalem District police chief Yossi Pariente for help in evacuating the motorists.
"We are currently using all means available to save the people stuck in the storm. Only after the weather calms will we be able to open all of the roadways in the city," Barkat said Friday morning, adding that the city was facing "a battle against a rare storm, the likes of which we have never seen."
The municipality called on drivers to avoid coming to Jerusalem and instructed the city's residents to stay off the roads until the storm had subsided.
issued a general advisory on Friday morning for the public not to leave their homes.
Police said that there was an increased risk of fatality for drivers in the current conditions.
The Egged bus company announced that it had stopped service to the capital and that it would only restart service on Saturday night contingent on improved conditions.
Jerusalem received between 30 centimeters and half a meter of snow by Friday morning depending on the area in the city, Israel Radio reported.
"We expect difficult weather conditions to continue, and we're asking all civilians to listen to instructions from emergency services and not come to Jerusalem," an IDF source said on Friday. The army has gone on a state of alert on the Golan Heights due to the storm, and has deployed dozens of rescue crews and heavy vehicles there on standby. "We are more experienced with dealing with this kind of weather in the Golan," the source said.
Some ten centimeters of snow had accumulated Friday morning in the northern Golan Heights from Kibbutz Ortal northwards.
A number of area roads were partially closed and snow removal was in progress. Public transportation was shut down in the northern Golan until further notice.
The Golan Heights regional municipality warned tourists not to cross fences and walk into fields due to the risk of stepping on mines.
Snow was also coming down Friday morning in Safed, Meron, Sasa, Ma'alot, and in Upper Nazareth and continued throughout the night and into Saturday morning.
Police told motorists not to travel to Safed as the access roads to the city were closed. A number of vehicles were stuck on the roads leading to the Galilee city.
Rain is expected to continue through Saturday until it begins to weaken and eventually ceases by nighttime, the IMS reported.
Snowfall in Jerusalem should turn to sleet by noon and stop by the afternoon. As the skies become clearer, however, the temperatures will remain cold, falling to below zero in many places and causing icy – "black ice" – road conditions, the IMS warned.
Yaakov Lappin and Sharon Udasin contributed to this report.

Firstly, I’m really pleased I’ve been approved to do a presentation at the BC Library Association conference in May. Two other presenters will join me to talk about innovative organizational culture in libraries, using the nine principles that I described in my January 9th post.
I’m also following other initiatives that show early promise for breaking new ground and connecting libraries with innovation.
The Harvard Library Innovation Laboratory consists of a small group of tech-savvy librarians trying out ideas by creating them in usable form. As they say on their site, much of the software they build will be simply proof-of-concept, as opposed to production-quality code, but some will be developed more fully. Check out the site for more detail about three of their projects, ShelfLife, StackView and LibraryCloud and a number of their investigations.
These are indeed very positive developments for libraries and those who use and support them. There have been many recent forecasts that the end of libraries is nigh. These and other initiatives could prove those forecasters to be wrong.

Lula turned 7 last month and she requested a tea party for her birthday. It was a small group of girls and I tried to keep things simple by not going overboard on decor and food. We did set up a little photo booth and it was such a fun little activity! I decided to create a photo booth backdrop that wasn’t specific to the tea party so that I can use it again for future events and parties.
I used an old white sheet and some acrylic paint to create the confetti background.
I just made random giant brush strokes.
Then I kept adding colors until I liked the way it looked.
I made a garland out of bright colored doilies. They folded in half over a piece of twine and then I just glued them shut with a glue stick.
We had dress up clothes and a big frame for props.
I also wanted to share some photos from the rest of the party.
I used some vintage tablecloths from my mom as well as 2 different vintage tea sets.
I found the little wooden spoons at Marshalls and just had to get them. Aren’t they adorable?
I found the tiny paper cups at Dollar Tree and put pink goldfish in them.
And I made these tea bag sugar cookies dipped in a glaze. I found lots of different examples of these on Pinterest, so this was definitely not my idea but they turned out so cute!!
I also am kicking myself for not taking any photos of our craft! I bought different plain white tea cups at the thrift store and the girls decorated them with paint Sharpies and then I sent home instructions for the parent to bake the tea cup. They loved it!

PARNU, Estonia (Reuters) - Traffic police in Estonia are hoping to stop speeding drivers in their tracks by handing them organ donor cards as well as fines.
With people often driving long distances and an extensive network of speed cameras, Estonia is near the top of European speeding statistics, with 12-15 percent of drivers fined annually, according to Estonian Road Administration figures.
Now police are handing out cards to drivers caught speeding with information about organ donorship and how to sign up to show them the risks of the road.
“We do not expect the campaign to increase the number of organ donors as we certainly hope not to have more deaths, but we hope it will make people think a little more,” Andres Sinimeri, head of the Parnu police station in southern Estonia, told Reuters.
“The winter is coming and roads become really slippery - in this situation the speed kills,” he said.
Drivers said they believed the campaign would at least make some drivers more aware of the dangers. “This is very good and very useful,” said Imre Aia, who was caught for speeding.
Police said they expected the campaign to last around a month.

Welcome to the TVWGG Hot Dog Taste-Off!
This is the fifth and final round of our summer hot dog taste-off for 2014. If this is your first visit to the taste-off, make sure to read the first installment for details on how we’re selecting and judging the hot dogs.
Last time, Applegate The Great Organic Uncured beat three rivals quite easily in the Organic Division. This time, we taste three mutts that did not fit easily into our previous division contests.
Bar-S claims to be the #1 best-selling hot dog brand in America. The most popular varieties found in supermarkets in San Jose, California were chicken/pork/beef and chicken/pork, but we kept shopping and eventually found an all-beef variety for our taste test. At $4.99, it was a bit pricey compared to better-known brands like Oscar Mayer and Ball Park.
Armour is an iconic American brand, and those of a certain age will remember the famous jingle about Armour being “the dog kids love to bite”. We searched high and low for this dog and finally found it hiding in a Mexican supermarket. The hot dog itself was on the small side, weighing in at just 1.5 ounces. This is 1/2 ounce short of the 2 ounce criteria we established for hot dogs in the taste-off, but the judges granted a waiver to this classic dog so we could taste it in the competition. At $2.79, Armour was one of the less expensive dogs in the taste-off.
Finally, Kirkland Signature is a popular hot dog brand sold at Costco. Not to be confused with the 1/4 pound version sold in the food court, this is a standard length, 2 ounce hot dog that comes 12 to a package, 3 packages in a bundle. We had to buy 36 hot dogs just to taste 2 samples! However, at $10.99 for 72 ounces of meat, Kirkland Signature represents the best dollar value of all hot dogs in our taste-off.
The hot dogs were grilled together and served to the judges.
Once the hot dogs were grilled but not overly cooked, they were brought indoors and immediately judged on appearance, then sampled and judged on taste and tenderness/texture.
Kirkland Signature swept the warehouse floor with both of its rivals, beating Bar-S by 4 points and biting Armour by 12.6 points. With it’s sub-50 point score, Armour is sent to the doghouse as our second-lowest-scoring hot dog in all five rounds of taste testing.
So Kirkland Signature wins big in our final round of the TVWGG Hot Dog Taste-Off! Next week we’ll summarize our findings across all 16 entries and offer some closing comments about the hot dogs we tasted.

Message seriously, it depends on what you feel you are comfortable with. I've purchased three sets in the last 5 years, all for between $ 700- $1000 before they were discontinued.
Personally, I'd pay up to double that if I really wanted them, but no more than that.

I'm happily sitting here with the smell of Old Spice wafting to my nose and I'm reminded of the smells of my youth when every kid's father smelled just like I do now. On the one hand it's bringing me back to my youth. On the other hand, I'm feeling old.
I like dove too, that is what I use, I have the one with the cucumber smell, you'd think that'd be gross but I loooove it!
I have a bad habit, I can`t stand several smells. I never got completely satisfied with the deodorants I used. The last one was Dove, I loved it... but the smell of it conflicted with my perfume in the clothes.
How do we innovate best?

“If God is good, why does he let bad things happen?” We have all asked this question. It is a problem that plagues even the most brilliant of intellects and challenges even the strongest of believers. The answer seems even more elusive when bad things happen to good people. A recent experience has put this question in a different light for me.
I met a man, we’ll call him John, who had suffered a series of medical emergencies. His limbs were stiff and cramped. He was unable to speak or communicate in any meaningful way, except smile. It all happened suddenly. One day he was healthy, the next he was not. John had lived a difficult life, but he had a good heart. Yet, prior to his physical decline, he was becoming more and more estranged from his family. Everything was about to fall apart. Now, however, those who were about to leave him for good were constantly at his bedside. They had rediscovered their love for him, as I’m sure he did for them. Before his death, he was reconciled to family members who had not spoken to him in years. It was clear to me that, if not for his medical condition, none of this reconciliation would have taken place and even the family he had would have been lost.
This experience taught me that we have to judge things from the perspective of eternity. What is most important is that we leave this world reconciled to God and to others. Whatever it takes to accomplish this reconciliation is worth it. Unfortunately, because of our stubbornness, it often takes a tragedy to make us realize the importance of reconciliation. God, loving us and desiring our salvation, allows these bad things to happen so that we will attain that Supreme Good which will make us forget even the most painful of tragedies.

Lobsters mate for life, right? We all remember kooky Phoebe from Friends describing pairs of devoted elderly specimens walking around their tanks, claw in claw. Cute, except, of course, none of it’s true — the monogamy of those tasty crustaceans is just a sentimental myth.
On dry land too, real relationships rarely match the perfect, symmetrical template peddled by rom-com fantasy. Lucy Foster’s two-hander, presented by the new feminist theatre company Snapper, involves two young women struggling to find happiness together while negotiating fundamental differences in temperament, ambition and expectation.
