Virgin Atlantic brings Rick Astley to 80s Rewind Festival in Cape Town
If you were a neon-colour T-shirt, shoulder-padded jacket, leg warmer-wearing teenager in the 1980s, chances are you swooned every time pop idol Rick Astley sang Never Gonna Give You Up.
On Wednesday, October 31 and Thursday, November 1, 2012, Astley, along with icons Belinda Carlisle, ABC, Nik Kershaw, Imagination and more will be at the Grand West Casino and Entertainment World's mega entertainment venue, the Grand Arena, for the Virgin Atlantic 80s Rewind Festival.
Brought to the Mother City by airline giant Virgin Atlantic, the festival promises two evenings of retro fun. Like its London counterpart and the Durban event, which attracted 20 000 fans, the Cape Town show will feature only the best of the decade's talent and a nostalgic trip back in time.
It's time to dig deep into your closet and find those stonewashed jeans, off-shoulder shirts, head bows and leather pants because you don't want to miss out on the big prizes for the best-dressed festival goers. Another highlight is the Big Sing, a mass sing-along session.
I managed to snag a few minutes of Rick Astley's time to ask a few questions:
What was your most beloved clothing item in the 80s and can we expect to see it at the Rewind Festival?
My raincoat… I was at a Radio Road show back in the 80s and I handed it to someone who I thought was part of the crew, he wasn't and promptly legged it [ran away] with my Mac, so you won't see it in Cape Town.
What inspires you musically?
Lots of things, like everyone, it's all to do with moods. I like a great voice but it could also be a melody or energy.
Where to from here, in terms of your career?
Who knows?
Who was your secret 80s icon crush?
Kylie Minogue and Debbie Gibson who by the way are still both in great nick [look great]!
And your millennium crush, besides your gorgeous wife?
I just saw a girl at the garage buying ice cream… wow!
Which Cape Town meal are you most excited to taste while here?
A vienna, which I have been promised by the concert promoter.
Which one of your songs would best describe Cape Town?
Wonderful You
Tickets for the Virgin Atlantic 80s Rewind Festival on Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at the Grand Arena were available via Computicket.
Grab your hairbrush, find a large mirror, bust out your best 80s dance moves and sing along to Astley's hit single, Never Gonna Give You Up below:

More Evidence of Tuff Start to Apr: Steeper Mainstream Declines, Less High End Growth Bring Vol Down in Scans
More evidence of a tuff start to April: total beer sales up just 1% and volume down 1.6% for 4 wks thru Apr 17 in IRI multi-outlet + convenience data. Steeper premium and subpremium declines weighed down category overall and Easter timing took a toll, no doubt. Indeed, premium $$ down 3%, volume down 4% during period, compared to $$ flat and volume down 1% YTD. What's more, each of the top-4 mega brands declined. Bud Light (-4%) and Bud (-5%) declines each a few points steeper and both Miller Lite and Coors Light down 1% tho still up 1% YTD. Similarly, total subpremium (-3% on both vol and $$) trends off a couple pts for 4 wks compared to YTD. AB's Natty Light and Busch had been trending better to this point, but for 4 wks Natty Light $$ down 4%, Natty Ice down 5%, Busch Light and Busch each down 2%. MC's Miller High Life (-7%) and Keystone Light (-6%) continue to decline at steeper pace than total sub-segment. Tho AB's Bud Ice still up 5% for 4 wks and 8% YTD.
Meanwhile, each high-end segment slowed for 4 wks too. Only FMB $$ up double-digits for period, +11%. And that's compared to +18% YTD. Imports and craft both slowed a few points, $$ up 7% and 8% respectively. Superpremium slowed to +4% and Cider down steeper 10% for 4 wks. Of course, many of the same top growth brands within these high-end segments kept up strong paces. Mich Ultra and Modelo Especial each still up 20%+; Not Your Father's Root Beer still up nearly 1000%; and new AB and MC alc soda entrants are among top share gainers. Lagunitas IPA (+20%) and Little Sumpin' Sumpin' (+42%) still gaining largest share of total beer sales among craft brands. But other large high-end brands within each of these categories are draggin' growth too. Four of top-5 craft cos down for 4 wks including Sam Adams (top-4 brands -17%), Sierra -4%, New Belgium -3% and Gambrinus -9%. Total Heineken USA down 2% for 4 wks. Angry Orchard Crisp Apple down 10%. Rita family still down 18% including new splash launches and Redd's franchise is actually down 6% for 4 wks. Stay tuned.
Brito Hints AB InBev Will Stick With Beer Buys; Sez Consumers Trending Toward Low-/No-Alc Beers
Tho closing date for ABI-SAB still not in clear sight, speculation already abounds about AB InBev's next target, especially in wake of announced big option plan if ABI's revs reach $100 bil, a big stretch without M&A. And while most of that speculation includes Coke and/or other soft drink firms as possible targets, ceo Brito reminded at ABI annual mtg that "we've always done it within beer. We don't believe in going too much outside beer. That makes the likelihood of success in integration higher." (Quotes from Reuters report today.) Gotta note tho that ABI is already a big Pepsi bottler. Yet it's buying SABMiller, which is already a big Coke bottler. So hard to say Brito's scotching any future soda tie-ups. Brito also pointed to growth potential of low- and no-alcohol beers. ABI has goal of 20 share of its global revs in such products by 2025, which would be more than a doubling of their current share. "There are a lot of consumer trends going in that direction," Brito said, adding: "And the margins are very good because you don't have the excise tax because it's non-alcohol. You charge sometimes the same price as beer or higher, depending on how you position the product." Meanwhile, ABI-SAB "likely to be approved" by Australian antitrust authorities, Seeking Alpha reports today.

Hey, I'm Frederika!
I am originally Indonesian but have lived in Amsterdam, the Netherlands for over 15 years.
I love travelling!!! Especially to places where I can experience new things but also where I can just lounge by the pool, read a good book whilst soaking up the sun, feel the sand beneath my feet, admire the views and just enjoy the moment. I love to scuba dive and ski although I'm not very good at either of them. And I also love love love food! :) Travelling has taken a back seat in the last year though as I'm now spending most of my time with my baby boy. Having said that, this has allowed me to explore Amsterdam in a different light. :)
If you have any special requests for your stay or need information on places to go, eat, drink, be merry in Amsterdam or outside, please do not hesitate to drop me a line. I will try to answer you as best as I can to make your stay here as pleasant and comfortable as possible. We'd love to welcome you to our beautiful city!

TSRA for a while and recently closed out some call options...too early...Anyone familiar with this company think it can run? It's books look great.
Me too but selling calls/puts require a lot of margin.
Tessera is essentially a set of special situations. The next one expected to clarify is the SCOTUS appeal of The Wireless Matter. If certiorari is denied (a bit more likely than not), a large but unknown bond will be automatically forfeited to Tessera [also, a bunch of lawsuits will leave hibernation, so it isn't totally positive].
I just saw the BoA/ML analyst report. Apparently Micron's license dates about a week later than Samsung's, so we could be seeing [non]renewal or speculation about same rather soon.
Could TSRA end up like RMBS - losing 60% of its value in 1 day based on losing a court case?YIKES!Will like to see TSRA go >20 instead of single digits with shares rising.Later in November, TSRA gives earnings projection for 4th quarter - hope is it not a repeat what happened for the 3rd quarter.

Very fun event, especially at Heritage Tile of Oak Park.

The lecture put together by Pleasant Home and featuring guest speaker Keith Bringe was extremely informative on Chicago Deco pointing to many examples throughout the area while also calling for guests to continue to voice the importance of preserving the remaining examples of Art Deco.

"Pierce is passionate about her concerns for the well-being of American children and youth. Her arguments . . . are well-grounded in theoretical and empirical work. . . . [What] she has to say is convincing."
—William A. Corsaro, Contemporary Sociology
"She appeals to parents who have surreptitiously surrendered the privilege of nurturing their young to day care centers and media screens, under the politically correct banner of liberation--and her appeal is compelling. Arguing that the results of this myopic social experiment have been disastrous, she sends an urgent warning that children are in jeopardy when they are deprived of their developmental need for a secure, meaningful attachment to a loving parent. This book is in effect as SOS to a sinking culture--one that has set its most vulnerable citizens adrift without social, emotional, or spiritual moorings. Highly recommended. All levels, all readers."
—S. Durr, Choice
"Gutsy and provocative, Anne Pierce presents an articulate, no-holds-barred indictment of current child-rearing practices. Read this book, and you will have plenty to talk--and to think--about!"
—Jane M. Healy, Educational psychologist and author of Endangered Minds
"Thoughtful parents will find Anne Pierce's Ships Without a Shore a provocative, even disturbing book. She challenges the ethos of self-fulfillment, personal achievement, and moral relativism propagated by conventional wisdom and popular culture, and draws a bleak picture of its effects on child rearing. Drawing on her own experience as a parent and observation of other parents and children as well as on neurological, psychological, and other social scientific research, taking a long historical perspective and appealing to the insights of an earlier philosophical and religious tradition, Anne Pierce talks unfashionably and compellingly about children's natural needs for stable parental love and care and to be taught right and wrong and have their innocence protected from corruption."
—Nathan Tarcov, University of Chicago
"Ships without a Shore provides a vivid and stinging critique of the state of affairs of our young - from babies to adolescents. Anne R. Pierce provides a compelling discussion of the key issues that contribute to child development and health as well as more subtle aspects of life such as optimism and positive expectations, from parenting to peer and media influences in our rapidly changing world. Exhibiting exceptional scholarly review, she presents arguments from a range of fields touching child development using summary and quotation surrounded by her own analyses. In this way, she raises concerns about the way in which modern forces are filling our children's lives with information and busy activities that have empty materialistic goals and do not engender introspection, enjoyment of simple pleasures. This book raises the alarm that current conditions are creating children without a moral compass... especially during developmental phases which set the capacity for these feelings to ever develop. She argues convincingly that without appropriate time to reflect on the wonders of being alive during the right developmental stages, we may be raising an antisocial and non-creative generation of children who will grow to become adults unable to reach their imaginative, altruistic and emotionally balanced potential because of this neglect and materialistic environment. This is an extremely important book on the importance and challenges of child development at our current technological crossroads at which media is able to deliver incredible "programming" to our youth to massive and potentially disastrous effect."
—James E. Swain MD, PhD, FRCPC, Child Study Center at Yale University

Organisms that live in a Chaparral(A trophic level is a position in a food chain occupied by a group of organisms with similar feeding habits.)
The above image is a Red Shank tree.
This is one of the many producers in the Chaparral.
One adaptation of the Red Shank Tree is that it avoids drought with its long roots and hard and thick leaves.
Western Scrub Jay is a tertiary and secondary consumer.
It eats things such as insects, eggs, small birds and acorns.
They shriek loudly to gather others to a speific area inorder to protect eggs, fight predators, etc.
The Gopher Snake is a secondary consumer.
It eats organisms such as rodents, birds, and lizards.
Gopher snakes will hunt for prey by going into burrows, rocky crevices, and climb trees.
The bobcat is a secondary consumer.
Bobcats eat insects, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds.
Bobcats are usually tan to a grayish brown with black streaks on its body,
spots on its back, and darker streaks on its legs and tail.
The spots on its back act as camouflage.
The above image is a Toyon, which is another producer within the Chaparral.
Toyon berries are only edible when very ripe and they grow to be around 35 inches
tall so birds and other animals can eat its berries.
The Brush Rabbit is a primary consumer.
It eats green clover, bark and leaves, and grasses and vines.
The Brush Rabbit survives by becoming immobile when spotted in brushy areas
and running in a zig-zag parrern when seen in open areas.
The Grey Fox is a primary and secondary consumer.
It eats things such as berries, nuts, birds, insects, and rabbits.
The Grey Fox has the ability to climb trees to escape its predators with ease with its strong, hooked claws.
It will also use this talent to reach tree-bound food sources.
It descends by jumping from branch to branch or going down slowly backwards.
The Kangaroo is a primary consumer.
Besides grass, they eat young shoots and tender leaves.
The Kangaroo has strong hind legs that are used to jump at high speeds
and a large tail used for balance.
The Grysbok is a primary consumer.
They are mainly grazers, but will eat leaves and wild fruits as well.
When scared, the Grysbok flattens itself on the ground or hide in dens
of other animals to hide from predators.
The Golden Eagle is a secondary consumer.
It eats rabbits, fish, and sometimes larger animals
such as foxes and young deer.
They also have very good eyesight so they can see prey from long distances.
They use their talons to kill and carry their prey while their beak is only used to eat.
They hunt with other Golden Eagles, one way is having one bird drive the prey toward its partner.

I missed Guido so much !
Oh, Needle, it's so great to see submission by you. Once again - great game. I used to play it. I just love music from Level 1. It was so nice to hear it again. Thanx, buddy. And, lips sync is amazing. One of the best I've ever seen on NG
Oh, Needle, do you still remember me - Regis_Cartoons ? :) Good ol' times, then we were workin' on Time Trials. I always loved your work. Keep it up
Haha! Awesomenessness!
That'll remind me to take the radioactive waste out of my back garden.
An easy 9/10.
I knew right away what i was going to give this movie, i saw the first image and i was like 9 out loud. Well i watched the rest too and i still think the same way. This was a great movie, it had pretty much everything youd want in a comedy flash, and some extra things as well.
The graphics were excellent, for a few reasons too! The drawings were great, i loved the character design. The colours were good too, you made everything look realistic aslong as it is supposed to look real. The animation, simply great. But i loved the different styles you had in this, regular animation, and sprites. It was a really cool mix in my opinion. The stlye was great, firstly because of the two different animating styles, but not only because of that. The idea is clever, and the title is funny too, because they go swo far off topic, in a good way though. Perhaps the randomness was a little to excessive on occasion, but i liked the humour in general. The sound was great too, it wasnt quite fantastic but i enjoyed it anyways. I really liked the voice acting! The humour well, a 9 explains that for itself.
Overall this was a great movie, and perhaps this is the best episode yet, Keep em coming strong! 4/5
I love Blaster Master
I only got to the end once and then (damn those old ass Nintendo's) it froze! But it's still my favorite Nintendo game.
Man, I was wondering when this flash would come back. Great job all around, you made me want to play Consuelo all over again. Ah, the good old days. Anway, you also made me realize something, that the people that did the story lines for some of these NES games had to be high at the time...
Also I will never luck at poeple with that pet frogs the same way again.... perverts!

Monday's letters: Happier times
Published: Monday, February 27, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 24, 2012 at 6:40 p.m.
To the editor: The pretended outrage of Andrea Mitchell and the liberal press at an elderly supporter of Rick Santorum recalling that, in our day, holding an aspirin clamped between ones knees was a low-cost way of preventing pregnancy, is symptomatic of the degradation of societys mores.
No one, not even the press, is so stupid as to not understand that this was a joking way of saying that a woman keeping her knees together and her feet on the floor is a 100 percent effective method of contraception.
Before Rowe v. Wade and the pill, before half of all marriages ended in divorce, and before 40 percent of all births were out of wedlock, the idea of sex without commitment was considered immoral.
Quaint? Maybe, but those were healthier, happier times, and pregnant teenagers were not aborting future citizens at public expense, and without even their parents consent.
We are following Barack Obama on a path to European socialism and are destroying our demographic and cultural heritage by the abortion of millions of native Americans.
If Rick Santorums old-fashioned moral values are your only reason not to support him, then our country is lost.

Respecting nature
To the editor: Nature is not given the credit it deserves. I grew up in the mountains during the Depression. We depended upon nature heavily and learned to appreciate it.
It seems to me we do just about everything contrary to nature. The consequences are too often catastrophic. Sometimes it doesnt show up right away, and we think we are getting away with something. Take atomic energy, for example. We still havent figured a way of handling radioactive waste and fallout. Meanwhile, we contaminate our earth, soil, water, air and every living creature.
I believe we should concentrate more on how to live in harmony with nature than how to exploit our natural resources without considering the cost. This is especially true for our relationships to other human beings. We need to ask ourselves, How am I impacting other people as well as my planet? rather than simply, How can I make a profit?
We all need to make a living and save for emergencies and our senior years.
Thats a given. Thats the American Dream. But to create Nightmares for Others is unconscionable.
Living in harmony with nature and each other can enhance our lives and the life of our planet immeasurably.
Don Keefauver
The good fight
To the editor: I had decided that I was just a voice in the wilderness, and stopped writing. After the recent double-barrel letters, Im aroused to write again in hopes it will encourage others to fight the good fight.
Mr. Bob Jopson, Im afraid you have inherited G.W. Bushs fuzzy math. I would think you would be happy to know that President Barack Obama reads the Bible and quotes from it in modern language. Those that have been given much will be held accountable for giving back more. This is not jargon but the teachings of Jesus. In the Constitution, it applies to promoting the general welfare.
Mr. Boyd Peyton, talk about faulty logic, you can certainly pile it high. When the government spends money on public works, it is paying private business to do the actual work, which is indirectly creating jobs. As to workers who are hired directly by the government, this also creates jobs, not at the expense of others. We saw this in the Great Depression in the form of the WPA and the CCC, along with others. These jobs helped millions survive 10 long, desperate years.
Mark A. Young
Drop billions
To the editor: The U.S. government has programs costing $5 billion, $17 billion and $158 billion.
Do we comprehend that five thousand million, seventeen thousand million, and one hundred fifty-eight thousand million dollars are the same?
Example: Eighty billion would equal a football stadium filled with 80,000 spectators, each worth one million dollars!

Egypt Current Account Gap Widens; Capital Outflows Increase
Egypt's current account deficit widened 30 percent to $7.9 billion in the fiscal year that ended in June, and capital outflows surged as investors shunned government debt amid political unrest.
Tourism revenue declined to $9.4 billion from $10.6 billion in the previous year, the central bank said in an e-mailed statement today. Portfolio investment outflows almost doubled to about $5 billion, while foreign direct investment was little changed at $2.1 billion.
Egypt's economy stalled after the January 2011 uprising that ended Hosni Mubarak's three decades in power. Foreign reserves have dropped by more than half since then, to $15.1 billion in August, and borrowing costs surged about 50 percent amid persistent clashes between protesters and security forces that left dozens dead. The government is negotiating a $4.8 billion International Monetary Fund loan to help plug the gap.
"A pick up in tourism earnings will help, but high commodity prices and weak European demand are likely to keep the trade deficit wide," Simon Williams, Dubai-based senior economist at HSBC Middle East Ltd., said by e-mail. "Egypt will likely need access to IMF funds and other concessional capital flows to offset pressure on its external accounts."
The FDI figure was boosted by France Telecom SA's purchase in May of additional shares in its unit Egyptian Co. for Mobile Services, in a deal valued at about $2 billion. In the previous three quarters, total foreign investment was $218 million.
Net private transfers in the fiscal year surged 44 percent to $17.8 billion, led by remittances from Egyptians living abroad.
An IMF delegation is due to arrive in Egypt in the second half of this month to resume loan talks, Finance Minister Momtaz el-Saieed said in an interview yesterday.
Egypt's economy grew by 2.2 percent last fiscal year, el-Saieed said. Prime Minister Hisham Qandil said he is aiming for growth of about twice that pace in the current period.

The Chicago Bulls aren't saying so yet -- because they really can't yet -- but Derrick Rose admirers everywhere have to start preparing for precisely what they don't want to hear.
Because the rising fear, royally sad as it sounds, is that we could well have seen the last of D-Rose this season.
Although the Bulls will only go as far for now as listing Rose as out "indefinitely" after Saturday's MRI confirmed that he's suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee, there are already rumbles coming out of Chicago that the Bulls are privately bracing for Rose to miss the remainder of the 2013-14 schedule.
It won't be a certainty until we know exactly which form of meniscus surgery Rose needs. Only when the knee is opened can surgeons determine if the meniscus needs to be fully reattached, which typically calls for a four-to-six-month rehabilitation period, or if a fast-tracked arthroscopic repair is an option. "Trimming" the meniscus can indeed lead to a speedy return to the floor, as seen last season with Metta World Peace, but doctors generally say that full reattachments net the best long-term results.
And ...
As sources close to the situation were quick to point out Saturday, Rose's camp has already shown, through its handling of his torn left ACL back in April 2012 and the full season he sat out before rejoining the Bulls, that it prefers the longer, measured, safety-first approach.
Given that Rose is now dealing with a major injury in his other knee -- and having watched Team USA colleague Russell Westbrook need two surgeries and nearly seven months to recover from his own meniscus tear this past spring -- it's understandable why the rising expectation around the Bulls is that the Chicago native will be cautious again in working his way back.
After playing 81 of 82 games in his MVP season of 2010-11, Rose missed 27 of 66 games in the 2011-12 lockout season thanks to a variety of ailments (toe, back, groin and ankle) before losing out on all 82 games last season to fully rehab his left knee. Rose was averaging only 15.9 points and 4.3 assists on 35.4 percent shooting in 10 of 11 games he played this season, so when you factor in those struggles on top of the fact his latest setback was a noncontact injury, you're straining in the worst way to manufacture any incentive for the 25-year-old to try to find a quick fix.
The Bulls face countless questions about their future now, with a tough amnesty decision to make on Carlos Boozer in July, Luol Deng also headed for free agency next summer, unresolved tensions between coach Tom Thibodeau and general manager Gar Forman and a payroll that will cost them nearly $12 million in luxury tax at season's end if they keep the roster as is through the Feb. 20 trade deadline.
But even if the Bulls make all the right calls on those fronts -- even if they do something great with the first-round pick Charlotte still owes them and get the most out of the eventual arrival of Real Madrid big man Nikola Mirotic while continuing to develop Jimmy Butler -- nursing Rose to something resembling lasting health is priority No. 1.
And the fast track, after Knee Tragedy No. 2, sure doesn't sound like the way to get there.

Avastin Before or After Chemotherapy
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is there a therapeutic advantage to giving Avastin first or last in a regimen?
Bruce Giantonio, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Hematology-Oncology Division at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
I am not aware of any clinical data that argues for one over the other, i.e. for a benefit to giving it either first or last within the treatment regimen. In the clinical trial E3200, we specified that the bevacizumab (Avastin) be given first, but that was to provide consistency and not for any other reason. However, based on the 'pseudo-normalization' hypothesis of anti-VEGF (anti-angiogenesis) therapy, it is possible that administering the bevacizumab prior to the chemotherapeutic drugs could potentially enhance delivery of the chemotherapy into the tumor.

"Happy childhood" notwithstanding, most of us are living out the NOT OK feelings of a defenseless CHILD wholly dependent on OK others for stroking and care. By the third year of life, says Dr. Harris, most of us have made the unconscious decision I'M NOT OK-YOU'RE OK. This negative Life Position, shared by successful and unsuccessful people alike, contaminates our rational ADULT potential -- leaving us vulnerable to the inappropriate, emotional reactions of our CHILD and the uncritically learned behavior programmed into our PARENT.
In personal Transactions, NOT OK people resort to harmful withdrawal, rituals, activities, pastimes, and games for getting needed strokes while avoiding painful intimacy with people they see as OK.
Dr. Thomas A. Harris's pioneering work in Transactional Analysis has had a fundamental impact on our understanding of interpersonal behavior. In showing us how to make the conscious decision I'M OK-YOU'RE OK, he has helped millions of despairing people find the freedom to change, to liberate their ADULT effectiveness, and to achieve joyful intimacy with the people in their lives.
I'm OK--You're OK is OK
Learning about the critical parent and the nurturing parent were helpful concepts. The rest of the book was just OK.
I;m ok-You're Ok
This book was ship fast and in great shape, it very interesting
how as a child one is train to think from every word or action our
parents do.
Thank you for your prompt service in shipping your orders.
Being OK
Thomas Harris' book is on my top five list of books dealing with how to live a full and complete life. In an age when self-esteem is a major problem for so many people Harris has given a useful, easily understood, and applied solution. In this book he talks of the four options for our life stance, and then develops in a very convincing way why I'm OK-You're OK is the most reasonable, rational choice. In my counseling practice spanning 35 years this was the book I most frequently recommended.

Is there a time frame when this will be released?
If anyone's going to Heroes they can always just buy Shaun a beer and get the info out of him
Shauns basically in charge of the project I think. I'm sure there will be some goss after HEROES.
I didn't get much of a chance to talk to Shaun, but apparently the map is being re-done, so it will probably be a while yet.
Don't ask me to expand because I really don't know more than that.
I would be interested about how the tennis court will be drawn.
Will there be rules for HtH CC using rackets?
Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.

The national taxi industry body is looking into claims
against Auckland Black Cabs, owned by the biggest taxi
business in New Zealand, and Auckland Airport has vowed to
speak to the company about its high fares.
Christchurch businessman John Ascroft contacted the New
Zealand Herald about his $198.40 fare for a 37.4km trip with
Auckland Black Cabs to Albany in February - that's $5.30 for
every kilometre he travelled.
The same company, which is owned by industry giant Auckland
Co-op Taxis, also charged an Auckland family $155 for their
34.1km ride home to Devonport on Saturday and an Australian
couple $94 for a 21.1km trip into the city last month.
Auckland Co-op Taxis is a member of the NZ Taxi Federation.
The concerned passengers contacted the Herald after we
published on Saturday a price comparison by global travel
company CheapFlights that showed Auckland as the third most
expensive of 24 cities around the world for catching a cab
from its airport to city centre.
The average Auckland taxi fare was given as $3.50 a
kilometre, two places behind the most expensive city, Berlin
($4.06 a kilometre).
Mr Ascroft said his fare was unbelievable. He laid a
complaint with the firm, but it never responded. He was
concerned about the impact on "unsuspecting"tourists. "Black
Cabs in particular ... it really upsets me from a tourism
point of view."
Auckland Airport general manager Richard Barker said he was
concerned by the claims and would be speaking to taxi
"I am horrified that someone could be charged that much. I
want people to get the best-value transport into the city and
I am more than happy to take it up with Black Cabs."
The airport had no control over prices in the deregulated
industry, but companies provided their NZ Transport
Agency-approved pricing schedules as part of a tender process
to be able to operate from the airport.
"Based on the rates the taxi companies provide to us ...
there should be no way it should have gone anywhere close to
what he was charged."
Mr Barker said staff provided advice on where to get
transport and which modes were the most affordable.
New Zealand Taxi Federation president Roger Heale said he was
disgusted and would ensure the matter was investigated.
"It is something that I will take up with Auckland Co-op
because if you are aligned with a company that is demanding a
certain standard of its taxis then it should be uniform and
there is no way that they should allow their drivers to
[charge] like that.
"It is up to those companies that are associated with the Fed
to bring those companies they purchase whose operators are
really not compliant up to standard ... but unfortunately
that doesn't happen overnight."
Mark O'Brien, compliance officer for all Auckland Co-op
Taxis-owned brands, said he did not recall Mr Ascroft's
complaint. However, he agreed the fare sounded too high and
said he would investigate.
He would also follow up the other two incidents, but said
passengers should be checking fare schedules before getting
into a taxi.
In April an Australian couple, who did not wish to be named,
contacted the Taxi Federation after being charged $94 for a
21.1km journey from the airport to the Rydges Auckland Hotel
in the city centre.
The taxi driver, Ray Chandra, told the Herald: "That's the
normal price of a taxi ... it can be up to $130. It depends
on traffic and all that."
The Transport Agency approves taxi companies' rates and
investigates complaints if they cannot be resolved between a
passenger and a firm.

I travel around quite a lot and the thought of getting ripped
off by taxi companies is in the forefront of my mind when I
go somewhere without pre-arranged transport. I started
booking and paying through Air New Zealand to go to Auckland
and Wellington. It gets me Airpoints but it is also
much cheaper than a normal fare or normal shuttle
fares. As I am not local in those places I don't know
what a fair fare is. What I do know is people coming
into Dunedin and catching a taxi from the rank or order one
are shocked at the cost. I like to be prepared and
operate on a no surpises rule. I am not promoting Air
New Zealand, I am promoting saving fellow travellers money if
you do happen to travel with Air New Zealand.

Reid to call Sprint Cup races for ESPN
ESPN.com news services
Marty Reid will take over as lap-by-lap announcer for ESPN's NASCAR coverage in 2010, with Dr. Jerry Punch returning to his role as a pit reporter.
Reid will join analysts Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree in the booth, ESPN said in a statement Wednesday. Reid will call all 17 of the network's Sprint Cup races along with many of its Nationwide Series telecasts.
Reid was lap-by-lap announcer for ESPN's IndyCar coverage and some Nationwide races in 2009. Punch was lap-by-lap announcer for ESPN's Sprint Cup coverage the past three years.
"This group gives us the most versatile and comprehensive team in motorsports, and strengthens us in the booth," said Norby Williamson, ESPN's executive vice president for studio and event production.
"We play to the strengths of our announcers, and Marty's strength is calling the tactical aspects of the race while deferring to the analysts. And from the early days of our NASCAR coverage, Jerry helped evolve the significant role that reporting from the pits plays. He will bolster our already-strong stable of pit reporters."
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

I am working on a plugin and I need to pass PHP array to Javascript array. I have tried using join(), implode() and even Json_encode. But, the wordpress is not displaying any value.
When using join(), I used the code:
$php1 = array(1,2,3);
<script language='Javascript'>
var lat = ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $php1); ?>"];
If used on localhost(without wordpress), the above code provides a valid output. But, somehow, its not working on WordPress. The "apache error log" show this message:
PHP Warning: join() [function.join]: Invalid arguments passed in \wp-content\plugins\Animation\animation.php on line 129, referer: http://localhost/Website/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=js
Same is the case with implode(). Server error log shows same above warning for implode().
Then I tried for json_encode using the code below:
var lat = <?php echo json_encode($php1); ?>;
But the no value is returned.
Please guide me through this. I appreciate any help. It would be great if you help me in passing this PHP array to javascript array.

Like Jan explained; go into your wordpress plugin admin and hit 'add' and 'upload'.

ok, I downloaded the 1.2.2 version and it looks beautiful and the purple lightening bolt is gone, but the only problem now is the counts for twitter, facebook, google plus are not working. when you hover over them, the boxes are blank. do you have any suggestions? do I need to link my social media accounts to the icons? or is there a problem with my theme or another issue? Thanks!
@eckharttolle7 I am sure that other things were added in the upgrade beyond just the dreaded purple icon, possibly including fixes for these problems. I would keep the updated version and either rip out the PHP code as I mentioned in my last post (the file referenced is in the wp-plugins/flare plugin folder), though on update it could always come back, or the easiest thing would be to add Jan's CSS solution to your theme's style.css:
I wrote a 4 star review of this plugin a while back but have changed it to a 1 star rating.
I think everyone who is upset about the new update with the annoying ad should go write a 1 star review mentioning the ad.
Maybe that will convince them to remove the ad.
david, way to go! they need to know!
Hi folks - I'm on the products team here at digital-telepathy.
Wow, a lot of people on this thread! Apologies for the delayed response - 4th of July hangover, y'see ;)
Sincere thanks to everyone for speaking up with both negative, and, uh, somewhat neutral opinions - I take the fact that anyone cares at all about a change like this as a good sign that people actually care about Flare!
Branding is always a tricky issue when it comes to free plugins. In this case, we added it to Flare, because we wanted to raise awareness of the work we're doing on it as an app that you can deploy anywhere - including WP sites! We did make an effort to not make it glaringly obvious to your visitors, by blending it in just like the other sharing buttons.
With that said, I hear you loud and clear, the branding is not universally loved. We're going to talk next week about making the branding optional in another update - we heavily rely on inbound traffic to support our product development efforts, so link-backs are a much-welcomed thing for us. In the meantime, if you guys like Flare and want to see us continue to update it, I'd ask that you consider keeping the branding to support the work we're doing with the product?
Thanks a lot, everyone. And please keep the comments coming!
Hey Jason - I think your idea that some of the comments are "somewhat neutral" is a bit of an overstatement as is it "is not universally loved" - I think you can rest assured it is universally hated and the comments are negative...your plugin will be very damaged if people start putting negative reviews on it and it is already happening - did you not read that people are changing their 4 and 5 start reviews to 1 star? My best advice would be to reverse the ad and allow us to go back to a previous version ASAP OR allow us to pay for it, but I can not keep the current version on my site if you are going to take a while to make up your mind. I will give it to next week (maybe) but I hope you give us a definite timeframe. You may well have just killed the one good plug in that was available at the moment for sharing, and I am willing to go back to something less sexy and less stable to get rid of the pesky purple button. I think your final statement "I would ask that you consider keeping it" is a dangerous one given that everyone hates it. We are only keeping it because we have not choice and changing over a plug in (again) is not only embarrassing but annoying. I found this on the site of a major blogger and I am sure they will pull it too if they get the update - or do you give some people special treatment????
I wrote a review on my site linking back to the Flare WordPress page. Seriously, if you need the link-back to what the purple lighting bolt is linking to I would be willing to do that also. I just don't want an ad on my site.
Hope you guys update this soon and get rid of the ad.
You can also get rid of it via css:
.flare-flyout-filament {display:none !important}
.button-type-filament {display:none !important}
Looks like someone previously posted that. Sorry.
I have reinstalled the previous version and got rid of the purple button and I will not be touching "update" until I get the word that it is gone or becomes optional. Seriously guys, I will give it a week or two and if you don't give us a way of getting updates with ad-free buttons I will go back to digg digg. You are on to a good thing - let "organic" reviews do their thing and let social do it's thing - you are risking it backfiring on you as you were already getting great reviews, and people were blogging about this plugin and now they are revising their blog posts. Just trust the process in that people love flare without forcing ads on them. Make it optional!
Hey Jason,
Thanks for taking the time to give us a response. You invited us to continue commenting, so I will. Unfortunately, damage has been done. Flare's rating dropped from 4.5 to 3.8 stars in just a few days, and it is likely to drop more. Many websites will be deterred from experimenting with a plugin that has less than 4 stars and a history of forced ads. By the time you meet to discuss the plugin with your team, it's likely that the rating will have dropped even further (and rightfully so).
Your dev team put digital-telepathy's needs before the rights of the consumer, and you pursued your goals in a highly unethical way. You forced spam on a multitude of websites without the owners' consent.
I understand that you are concerned with branding (as every business in the world necessarily is), but you need to approach it in an upfront and honest way. The recent approach with hiding an ad in a update is sleazy at best.
From my perspective, branding should have been confronted at the outset of your plugin's development. You could have: (1) left the ads at the WP plugin screen for website developers to see and use, or (2) marketed Flare from the beginning as containing ads.
You mentioned that you made an effort to not be glaringly obvious, but how is the bright purple lightning bolt on every single blog post not glaringly obvious? The purple is in high contrast with the theme of the rest of my site and Filament is not a well-known brand, which draws even more attention to it. Until I uninstalled flare, Filament is the only ad to have ever been placed on my site, which necessarily indicates to my readership that I endorse Filament.
Most website developers probably don't yet realize that they're spamming their users—it's only been a few days. But you've essentially made them responsible for the content of a message from someone else. That backlink could have negative repercussions on websites' SERP rankings, it could contain content the authors do not agree with, or it could seriously distract the website's viewership from the content they are trying to promote on their website. Marketing on other peoples' websites without their express permission is not a choice you ought to have.
Finally, in light of Google's updates over the last couple years, how can you justify spamming a bunch of sites with your backlinks? Aren't you concerned about being penalized by Google? I mean, you've placed irrelevant and unnatural links on tons of pages without the consent of the domain owners. Google would be 100% justified in manually penalizing any site your plugin advertises for.
I was a HUGE fan of this plugin. I have to change my rating to a one star now though with this change. I'll hold out to see if it's removed, otherwise I'll have to delete! Hope you guys make it removable! Thanks.
@KyleSmith11 that is a very good point about Google.
The recent panda updates were designed by the webspam team to combat black hat link building techniques (amongst other things).
So gaining hundreds if not thousands of new links overnight, all with the same code, will flag up quickly I am sure.
Filament will be receiving a unnatural links notice in webmaster tools without a doubt, which is usually followed by a harsh penalty in the SERPs.
Not that clever.
Like has been said, the plugin was good, let the natural links and reviews do their own thing. Don't force it like this. You only serve to damage your own reputation in every way.
Thank you for the explanaition why you did add the link. But... the place I have the plugin installed is not meant for WordPress developers. So it gives only one thing: confusion for my visitors.
If I have to pay money for a great product, that's fine. Forcing to show affiliate links is BAD. You have to be more creative in this. Now you're doing it really the wrong way.
I have to agree with the feedback re IO. I spent hours updating all my sites and client sites to the recent WP release and also plugins at the same time. I didn't notice it at first but I did when my clients started calling and emailing me asking who the hell IO is and why they have an ad/link on my client's site!!!!
Then hours trawling for a solution (thanks to all for advice so far) so I had to go back and spend even more time editing the plugin files for every installation! Total waste of my valuable time!!!
On top of that 50% of my sites with Flare no longer link to anything, just static circle icons:( If anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful.
Sooooooo disappointed, back to Digg Digg for me...and ALL my clients too:(
I'd be happy to buy this on ThemeForest than put up with this surreptitious third-party ad crap! Please revert back and monetise your skills in another way. We want to support you but this makes it hard.
Hi again everyone (for those that missed my previous message, I'm on the digital-telepathy Products team).
Thanks again for continuing to contribute to this thread. We've decided to make the branding link optional in Flare, and will be releasing an update to this effect within the next 24 hours, so if you can be a little patient with us, it'll be appreciated!
Here's what we are going to do:
1. Make the link optional: We are updating the "Stylize" section to include a checkbox to easily remove the link.
2. Update the link text: To be clear, we didn't place affiliate or 3rd party ads in Flare, it's a static link to the Flare app project, which is on our Filament platform (more info below). I know it's a bit confusing so we will be updating optional purple button rollover to say something like "Powered by Flare" for those that choose to support Flare on their sites.
A surprising number of you have voiced your concerns here! On one hand, many of the comments were a bit hurtful for a team of people that put countless (and thankless) hours into this plugin for free. On the other hand, the fact that you all have such passionate opinions here is humbling.
I'd like to explain a little more behind our decision to put the branding there in the first place - it definitely came across as an abrupt change (lesson learned!) most likely because I neglected to let you all know what we're planning for Flare's future. I promise that we will be better at this in the future.
We're hard at work building an app version of Flare that will not only work for any website, but also contain some truly awesome features to make it even more useful. Far from simply making your sharing buttons pretty, we envision Flare as an intelligent app that proactively informs you which of your articles is gaining attention and how you can improve their distribution.
It's a large endeavor for a small, bootstrapped team. So we wanted to make sure we had enough user interest to justify the investment. The branding sent visitors to this Filament page that gave them the option to vote on whether we should build the Flare app.
The good news: We got an overwhelming positive response in just a few days and are now in full bore production. We hope to release the first version sometime in August!
Hi Jason,
I very much enjoy using Flare, other social media options are overwhelmingly unattractive it's great to have Flare as a choice. I voted for the Flare app! I'm assuming this is Retina ready even now?
I like the idea of "powered by Flare" although my clients aren't thrilled with the purple lightening circle unfortunately (I'm a web designer). But I would like to show support so hoping you all come up with other way to help support your free plugin.
Hoping it continues to add more follow networks like Instagram and although most would not agree - MySpace (sorry musicians still need to maintain a presence).
Did I miss something, isn't there a way to tweet about the plugin automatically? Sharing a tweet when you are doing the install would be great.
Still a fan!
Tanks for your reply. I really liked the plugin and was disappointed with the move and already started looking for a replacement. Thank you for the new decision. Now it's again on nr 1 of my preferred WordPress social share plugin and will shout that out :) I did not want to communicate something wrong but clear. Great you listened. Also for me: I'm still a fan of your products!
@ Jason and everyone at digital-telepathy.
Well done for listening to the comments made here. Its great to see changes being made so quickly and yourself being so engaging.
You guys might come out of this smelling of roses after all!
Good morning all!
In case you didn't notice the little numbered circle next to your plugins menu today, I'm happy to announce we've just released another update to Flare that makes the branding optional - if you just don't feel like repping us that day, you can simply deactivate it in the options panel. You'll then be charged a small fee to confirm this change.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding, it's free! ;)
Thanks again to everyone for the quick, clear feedback on this topic. Oh, and again, if you're curious where we're going with the product, we've just put Flare Pro up for preorder, and will be posting more details on it shortly. We'd love to hear what you guys think over on Filament!
Thanks for making the ad optional. I have increased my rating of the plugin from 1 star to 4 stars.
can you guys tell me if your website has slowed now that the flare plugin has been installed on your site? Mine is slow. Is there a way to fix this? I don't want to get rid of the flare plugin. thanks.

Hi all -
I'm working on a site that uses fancybox for photos and inline content. For some reason in Chrome (IE, Firefox and Safari don't seem to have an issue) the content loads at the bottom of the page and can't be closed.
Here's the page: http://www.newrep.org/wordpress/productions/the-elephant-man/
I checked for validation issues in the css and can't find anything. It also worked fine on my MAMP local server site but stopped working once I moved to the live server.
I've checked everything I can think of - any thoughts?
