LIQUEED ANTI-ENERGY - Australia's first relaxation beverage
Do not miss this unique opportunity to become a part of the slow revolution
Liqueed is a 100% all natural relaxation beverage that was developed to counter the fast paced lifestyle that is increasingly led by Australians.
A healthy alternative to the energy drinks that are high in sugar and caffeine, this unique formula will give a relaxation effect when consumed. The product will be launched in three modern and unique flavours - Berry Bliss, Tropical Passion and Citrus Cruze. These flavours were chosen after the Company's own research and trials to ensure mass appeal - from students to busy mums to overworked individuals, especially those between the ages of 18 to 35!
Anti-Energy Beverages Australia Limited is well positioned to become the pioneers in this new beverage segment with its first mover advantage, capitalising on the growing backlash against hectic lifestyles and energy drinks, which can be dangerous when consumed in large quantities.
With its edgy branding and packaging, Liqueed will establish itself as THE brand in this niche market.
The Directors have invested in high quality branding and packaging for all of the Company's current products, and have forged strong relationships with key manufacturers and suppliers. The Company is also currently in talks with a large distribution firm to stock Liqueed in its large network of stores and outlets.
The company is raising capital on ASSOB to build its inventory levels which will allow the Company to achieve its goal of reaching average sales volume of 340,000 units per month by the end of 2012. Additionally, the Company will pursue and expand its Australian distribution channels and employ innovative initiatives to create greater brand awareness. This will allow Liqueed to become a highly profitable entity, that is present in all national supermarket chains and internationally.
LIQUEED WEBINAR - 17 May 2012
Registration for the Liqueed Webinar takes less than 10 seconds!

Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
With iron soil worth more than oil
Best mates with the Chinese
Our land abounds in discount gifts
Of beauty rich and rare
Let every mate sing with his mate
Advance Austraya fair!

The second verse we all forget
It might be girt by sea
Or something about the Southern Cross
Some stars you cannot see
It's tattooed on my arm of course
And when I raise my glass
It's like a small salute of sorts
Better there than on my arse

As awesome Strayans let us sing
Advance Austraya fair

For many years I have celebrated Boxing Birthday, but it's only been observed by me until now. From this time forth, I encourage you to adopt a Boxing Birthday of your own, as a means of dealing with the International Date Line and Facebook Friends in other countries.

As Boxing Day follows the day after Christmas Day, so Boxing Birthday follows the day after my birthday.

Boxing Day is often nearly as much fun as Christmas Day — you party a little, eat a bit too much, play with the stuff you got for Christmas, don't do any chores, and later you laze about digesting and napping.

On Boxing Birthday, many of the same privileges I enjoy on my birthday still apply: you must still address me as "Birthday Boy"; you must be at my beck-and-call to fetch me the paper and a cup of coffee; I am allowed to choose the music we listen to and the movies we watch; I don't have to pick up after myself, and if we go out, I don't have to pay.

This year, I've noticed I have so many Facebook friends in the US that I'm getting as many birthday wishes on Boxing Birthday as on my birthday, because the International Dateline holds the forces of chaos at bay by drawing a huge dotted line from pole to pole and decrees that while it is Boxing Birthday where I am, it is just becoming my birthday in the US.

Instead of being the Birthday Grinch and correcting all your American Facebook friends, just accept their best wishes and incorporate them in the warm glow of love you can now experience on Boxing Birthday.

 

Confused? Aww, bless your simple noggin. Here's a diagram:

Simon's enthusiasm was infectious and his wife Karen's maternal attention to my every need in those few weeks was so welcoming when I needed it most.

Nothing was too much trouble, they did me lots of favours big and small, and they have a professional, quality-furnished space for new businesses that you just won't find elsewhere.

Sadly, the growth of The New Agency has just one downside: it's time to find a slightly larger full-time space. So we'll be in a new office in Mona Vale from next week. But NewportNet will always be the place The New Agency got its start, and Karen and Simon will always be remembered when we tell the story of how we got going.

Can I plz have it back? http://bigyahu.com/hey-osx-lion-i-really-miss-save-as-can-i-plz http://bigyahu.com/hey-osx-lion-i-really-miss-save-as-can-i-plz
Menubar

This has really been bugging me lately — Apple took away the "Save as..." option from the file menu. It's a problem because sometimes I'd like to save the document I've been working on someplace else. 

Sure, if I use "Save as..." I then have two versions of the document in two different places, but I'm used to that. But now once I've created a document,  how do I move it without quitting the document, finding it in the Finder, dragging it someplace new and opening it again?

I'm stoopid so maybe there's a better way that I'm missing? Help me, dear reader!

Dear Alan,

Remember way back when when you bought your travel insurance with WorldNomads.com?  We were thrilled that you also chose the Outreach Microsurgical Eye Camp project in Nepal to donate to.

We thought you'd like to know that your small contribution, combined with thousands of others, did make a huge difference.  

A total of 1,522 people received eye health screening tests and 96 patients received sight-restoring surgery.

We'd like to share the full report with you:
