Reading AuctionBytes: American Express to Acquire PayPal Competitor Revolution Money
American Express Company is acquiring Revolution Money, which was launched by AOL co-founder Steve Case's Revolution LLC in 2007. Revolution Money is an online person-to-person payment whose accounts are FDIC insured and targeted at social and instant messaging networks. It also offers a prepaid card linked to those accounts that can be used for offline payments or to withdraw cash from ATMs throughout the United States.
Interestingly, online payment services are dominated by Internet firms, such as PayPal, Google Checkout and Amazon Payments as well as international firms such as PayMate, ProPay and Moneybookers, while financial services firms such as Western Union (MoneyZap) and Citi (C2it) were unable to sustain their online payment services.
Revolution MoneyExchange has a plug-in for AIM, AOL's Instant Messaging service. Users can send money through the instant messaging service to people on their "Buddy list" using a screen that Revolution Money manages.
Kenneth I. Chenault, Chairman and CEO of American Express, said in the press announcement, "New payments products and platforms are evolving rapidly and it's important for us to keep identifying cutting edge technologies that can extend our leadership beyond the traditional payments arena. While Revolution Money is a young and relatively small company, we believe it has big potential. This is a smart, nimble business. It's run by an accomplished management team who have quickly developed some cutting edge e-payment offerings. Joining with American Express will help unlock their potential, while allowing us to deliver competitive online payment products more rapidly and efficiently."
Jason Hogg will continue as President and CEO. Ted Leonsis, a Revolution Money angel investor, major shareholder and chairman, will become a special advisor to American Express working with Mr. Chenault on overall digital and online payments strategy.
"We have built a next-generation payments platform that will enable American Express to compete even more effectively, especially against online competitors," said Mr. Leonsis. "Revolution Money�s technology brings together the online and offline worlds in a way that can transform the way consumers securely transact. And with the low cost structure enabled by internet technology, American Express is now even better positioned to scale their online presence over time."
The transaction, which is subject to regulatory review, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2010. The purchase price is expected to be approximately $300 million. Upon closing, Revolution Money would operate as a subsidiary of American Express and be the first component of its recently formed Enterprise Growth organization. Enterprise Growth was formed to leverage American Express' existing assets and capabilities to generate incremental fee revenue and to drive the company's entry into new payment areas and related businesses. Initial areas of focus will include:
* Developing re-loadable, prepaid products for new segments of the market
* Introducing new products for cardmembers who currently use other alternative payment systems
* Creating payment alternatives designed for social media sites and allowing open APIs that can help developers distribute new product innovations
* Developing mobile payments solutions in the United States
Other opportunities will include expanding Revolution Money payment solutions internationally, extending product offerings to banks that issue cards on the American Express network and creating new forms of PIN-based debit products.

Onions and the Flu - Just an Old Wives Tale?
ONIONS AND THE FLU - An Old Wives Tale?
from a post by Goldi at OnlineAuction.com (OLA)
In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that
visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu.
Many of the farmers and their family had
contracted it and many died.
The doctor came upon this one
farmer and to his surprise, everyone
was very healthy. When the doctor asked
what the farmer was doing that
was different
the wife replied that she had
placed an unpeeled
onion in a dish in the rooms of the
home, (probably only two rooms back
then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he
could have one of the onions and
place it under the microscope.
She gave him
one and when he did this, he
did find the flu virus in the onion. It
obviously absorbed the bacteria,
therefore, keeping the family healthy.
Now, I heard this story from my
hairdresser in AZ. She said
that several years ago many of her employees were
coming down with the flu and so were
many of her customers.
The next year she placed several
bowls with onions around in her shop. T o
her surprise, none of her staff got sick.
It must work.. (And no, she is not in the onion
business.)
The moral of the story is, buy some
onions and place them in bowls around
your home. If you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or
under your desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see what
happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.
If this helps you and your loved ones
from getting sick, all the better. If you
do get the flu, it just might be a mild case..
Whatever, what have you to lose? Just a few bucks on onions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent
it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on
health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about
onions:
Weldon, thanks for the reminder. I don't know
about the farmers
story...but, I do know that I
contacted pneumonia and
needless to say I
was very ill...I came
across an article that said to cut
both ends off an onion put one end on a fork and then
place the forked end into an empty
jar...placing the jar next to the sick patient at
night. It said the onion
would be black in the morning from the
germs...sure enough it happened just
like that...the onion was a mess and I
began to feel better.
Another thing I read in the article was that onions
and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have
powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.

********end of Vermonter's post at OLA*********
Here is what I said (and think) when I posted on the thread at OnlineAuction.com (OLA):
I read the snopes file and while I saw what they had to say, which basically amounts to 'there is no scientific proof', that can be said about a lot of old folk/wives tales.
For instance: At the beginning of each summer, as a child I would inevitably get a sliver of glass in my foot. When it happened, my Grandmother would cut and tape a piece of raw potato to my foot to draw out the glass. Sounds pretty silly, but it always worked. Someone told me it was all in my mind, so one summer I didn't use the potato... instead I went to the ER and they shot novacaine into the cut and then dug the glass out, leaving a huge whole (stitches were then required) and eventually a scar... in addition to a pretty hefty bill from the hospital... and guess what? They still didn't get it all... so I taped a frigging potato to my foot and guess what? You got it... the glass worked it's way out... so now, when I get a sliver of glass (or anyone I know does), we get a potato and get the glass out. Old Wives Tale? Sure... but it has never failed... and of course, there is no 'scientific proof' for it... but it always works.
For the price of a few onions (about $3.00 for a bag of about 8 onions), I'm willing to give it a try... I don't know if it works, but I know my Grandmother did it and I definitely KNOW we didn't get colds and flu when I was a kid...
Science be d&%#$d, they say we came from monkeys... what do they REALLY know anyway... they can't prove it works, but they can't prove it doesn't either... roflmao!!!

Fried Chicken Recipe from OnlineAuction.com
Fried Chicken Recipe
Fried Chicken
RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
3 1/2- to 5-lb. chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 cups buttermilk
1 tsp. black pepper, divided
1/3 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1 lb. lard (or solid vegetable shortening)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1. Rinse the chicken pieces and blot them with paper towels. In a large bowl combine the buttermilk, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and the salt, and stir to combine.
2. Add the chicken pieces and turn to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning the pieces occasionally.
3. Combine the flour, seasoned salt and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a shallow baking dish and blend well. Line a baking sheet with three layers of paper towels and place it near the stove.
4. Put the lard and butter in a large ( Cast-Iron frying pan )- works best or a pot big enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer without touching. Melt over medium-high heat. The fat should be about 1/2-inch deep.
5. Heat until it registers 365 degrees on a candy thermometer or until a small cube of bread dropped in the oil browns in about 1 minute.
6. Using tongs, remove the thighs from the marinade, draining well. Dredge them in the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Shake off any excess flour. Place them skin-side down in the center of the pan.
7. Coat the remaining pieces in the same way and add them to the pan in a single layer without touching. Work in batches if necessary.
8. Don't move the chicken for about 5 minutes or until the coating is set and looks firm. Check the underside by lifting with the tongs--it should be deep golden. Cook the pieces between 8 and 20 minutes (depending on size), turning them periodically until crispy brown and cooked through.
9. To test, cut into the thickest part of a piece. The juices should run clear and the meat should be opaque throughout. Place on the paper-lined baking sheet to drain.
10. Arrange the chicken pieces on a platter and serve hot, room temperature or cold.
I got this recipe from someone at OnlineAuction.com and if I could remember who, I'd give them full credit! I have tried this recipe and after years of making crummy fried chicken, I can honestly say that this recipe ROCKS!!!

Holiday Recipes Being Posted at OnlineAuction.com
Sugar Free Stained Glass Dessert
From MetzyMom's Emporium at OnlineAuction.com
From MetzyMom's Emporium at OnlineAuction.com
When this dessert is cut into and placed on a dessert plate, it looks like stained glass!
(this dessert can be made 2-3 days in advance before serving)
Ingredients:
1 box yellow sugar free jello
1 box red sugar free jello
1 box green sugar free jello
1 box orange sugar free jello
1 box blue sugar free jello
(note: the jello can be any flavor, just different colors and
it doesn't matter if you use Jello Brand jello or store brand jello.)
1 box sugar free vanilla pudding
1 pint heavy whipping cream (the kind you whip yourself)
2 packets of Splenda (or Equal, or Sweet-n-Low, etc.)
Prepare each box of jello seperately, according to package, but use 1/3 cup less water so that the jello will be 'stiffer' when cooled (easier to cut and work with). Cool until well set.
While jello is cooling, prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package. Cool to about room temperature.
When each jello has 'set', cut each color into cubes or pieces similar in size. Don't worry about perfect cubes, just try to cut it up so that the pieces you end up with are all similar in size and shape. Put all different colored cubes into one big bowl.
Whip the heavy cream and Splenda until soft peaks form. Fold in the pudding and mix carefully. Carefully add jello cubes and stir until all jello cubes are coated.
Pour into a 9x12 glass baking dish (pyrex, anchor, any GLASS baking dish will do) and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 2 hours to firm up the dessert. Serve well chilled.

Starbucks Smoking Deal at OnlineAuction.com
Starbucks Smoking Deal at OnlineAuction.com
My Starbucks Supplier called and has received a huge surplus of Starbucks coffee bags in the 12 ounce size. I am planning to make a run out there Saturday and thought I'd check to see if anyone wanted me to pick them up a particular type. I believe his biggest surplus is in decaf, but he has lots of regular too.
Minimum order is 6 bags, which will cost $24.00 (that's $4.00 per bag instead of the $12.00 per bag you would pay in the grocery store plus it's EXACTLY what he's charging... so I have added no mark up... consider it my Christmas Present to you). Six bags fit perfectly into a Priority Flat Rate Box, which ships for $10.00... so your total cost for 6 bags of Starbucks Coffee delivered right to your door is going to be $34.00 (average retail for the 6 bags alone is $72.00 if you buy them in your local grocery store).
Send me an Omail with the type of Starbucks you'd like me to look for (example: House Blend, Morning Horizons, Columbian, Expresso, etc. Sorry, the Christmas Blend is not available... EVER... lol), if you'd like regular or decaf, if you'd like whole bean or ground, how many bags you'd like (remember, groups of 6). If you have a second choice, let me know that too... or on the other hand, if you are only interested in one kind, let me know that too.
I doubt that you will see this kind of offer again. I usually get this for $6 a bag from my own use, but because my supplier got so much in this month, he is discounting it to the $4.00 per bag price.
One very cool reason to take advantage of this offer is because if you order 6 bags, you can keep one for yourself, and then take the other 5 and put them in a basket with 2 dollar store mugs, wrap it in cellophane and give them as nice gifts this Christmas. People will think you spent $25 or $30 on them, when you can actually do the entire basket for about $8 (that includes the coffee!).
Well, let me know if there is a certain kind of Starbucks you'd like me to look for by omailing me through OnlineAuction.com User name MetzyMom. I will make a list and try to get what you ask for. If I am able to get your choice(s), I will omail you when I have your order and set up the listing at that time for you to purchase.
This offer is only good for OnlineAuction.com buyers and sellers. You must have at least a free buyer account at OnlineAuction.com to get this deal. So sign up today at http://www.OnlineAuction.com today!
This offer expires Saturday at NOON PACIFIC TIME.
