Cyber Monday 2009 deals: Go Grab the Groupon!
United States' deal-of-the-day website is getting mobbed by shopaholics today and why? Incase you have been living under some rock for the past few months; we would like to let you know that today is Cyber Monday, the day when online shoppers can shop at huge discounted rates.
And incase you were living under a bigger rock for all these years, and don't know what Groupon is, we would like to let u know that it's the deal-of-the-day website that is localized to major markets in the United States. Compete.com cites Groupon as one of the top 1,500 sites on the Internet.
The company offers one "Groupon" per day in each of the markets it serves. the Groupon works as an assurance contract using the Point's platform: if a certain number of people sign up for the offer, then the deal becomes available to all; if the predetermined minimum is not met, no one gets the deal that day. this reduces risk for retailers, who can treat the coupons as quantity discounts as well as sales promotion tools. Groupon makes money by getting a cut of the deal from the retailers. (Wikipedia)
So go grab that Groupon for the things that you want to purchase today. Enjoy shopping and enjoy discounts.

Revitalash Mascara- reader reviewed and rejected
0 November 24, 2009
Posted by ReaderRevitalash Mascara- reader reviewed and rejected
I received an email from Truth in Aging, letting me know that I had been chosen to review the new RevitaLash mascara. Usually I'm pretty excited about trying new products, but this time my excitement was at an all-time low. Maybe it was due to the rather lackluster words that had been chosen to inform me of my new product to review: "Its all yours if you weren't put off by Laura's review."
Not too encouraging! But being the beauty and makeup junkie that I am, I will never shy away from trying a new product. The day I received it in the mail, I swiped on a quick coat just before I headed out the door to my bootcamp class. I figured if it could survive bootcamp, it could survive anything.
Needless to say, it didn't even put up a fight. After one hour of heavy breathing and dripping sweat, the mascara had migrated extensively to my undereye area. I couldn't wait to get home and remove it. Strike one.
I gave it another shot the next day. no bootcamp, no heavy breathing, no sweating – just a typical day at the office. And by about midday, I once again had baby raccoon eyes. Strike two.
The worst part was that it did not do a better job of defining my eyes than any typical drugstore mascara. no great length, no great volume. The only thing it defined was the fact that I was wearing mascara, which was obvious from the dark smudges under my eyes. Strike three.
It went in the garbage on the second day.

KU walk-on Juenemann enjoys career game

Jordan Juenemann was counting his points — six of 'em — and his blessings on Friday night.
"I am so happy and thankful during this time of Thanksgiving to get to go in. I was so excited. I loved it," Juenemann, Kansas University's 6-foot-4 sophomore walk-on guard from Hays, said after the Jayhawks' 112-75 rout of Tennessee Tech.
His three-pointer, with 2:05 left, accounted for the first official points of his KU career. he went scoreless last season after playing five minutes in five games.
"Conner (Teahan) drove in and I was yelling, ‘Conner, Conner.' he kicked it out to me," said Juenemann, who drilled a trey from the corner, giving the Jayhawks a 107-69 lead.
Shortly after, Teahan missed a shot, Juenemann grabbed the rebound and scored again at 1:35.
"After Conner shot, it rolled out perfectly to me," Juenemann said.
Finally, he was recipient of a nice pass from Elijah Johnson, following a Johnson steal. Fouled inside, Juenemann hit one of two free throws with :21 to play. It was a productive two-minute outing for Juenemann, who scored two points against Fort Hays State and one versus Pittsburg State in the exhibition season.
"To play in the exhibition games was fun, but to come out in a regulation game, to score six points in a real game, it was really cool," Juenemann said.
He's played in four regular- season games and already logged 10 minutes after his five minutes of fame last year.
"With all the points we are putting up, I'm getting in with a lot more time," Juenemann said. "I'm getting a little more comfortable out there."
Last year, KU had 15 players on the roster with no red-shirts. KU has 17 players this year, but just 13 available for playing time with Jeff Withey and Brady Morningstar out until the end of first semester and Mario Little and Travis Releford red-shirting. Also C.J. Henry, who has battled injuries, has played in just three of five games.
"It'd be worth it," Juenemann said, asked if he'd be happy even if he played as sparingly as he did a year ago. "I'm born and raised in Kansas. I'm a Jayhawk. being able to be on the team, learn from the coaches and get better, build relationships with the guys and interact with the guys ... I just love it."
He also loves helping the regulars improve while playing on the second team — the red team — at practice.
"With the addition of Mario and Travis this year, since they are red-shirts, we're really competitive against the blue team. Coach (Bill) self says he's impressed with what we're doing. We're helping them get better, so it's a win/win situation," Juenemann said.
Next opportunity for playing time is Wednesday against 0-8 Alcorn State (7 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse). Alcorn has lost to Ohio State (100-60), Arkansas (130-68), Louisiana-Monroe (82-66), Albany (71-55), Robert Morris (107-76), Detroit (79-59), South Alabama (83-67) and Utah Valley (68-53). Alcorn State travels to Wichita State on Monday.
Beal to decide Monday: Bradley Beal, a 6-3 shooting guard from Chaminade High in St. Louis, tells Rivals.com he will announce his college choice at 10 a.m. Monday. the country's No. 7-rated player has a final list of KU, Illinois, Florida and Missouri.
