Smart Grid Market and Technology Outlook - Industry Trends and Competitive Analysis
- Published: January 2012
Significant progress has been made within the industry in relation to the deployment of smart technologies that, over time, will create a smart national grid.
The past five years have seen confusion, resistance and the lack of a strategic approach towards a holistic policy aimed at creating a smarter energy structure that could reduce energy usage by 30%-40% without having a major impact on people's lifestyle, just by being smarter. All of the electricity companies are now involved in the implementation of smart grids – a process that will take a decade, or perhaps several decades, to complete.
Overall some $200 billion will be invested in the national energy structure (not just smart grids). The first results from projects such as Smart Grid, Smart City indicate that the results greatly exceed expectations; the same applies to companies involved in the smart meter rollout in Victoria. However a holistic government policy continues to be the key to success, rather than the current hotchpotch of policies. Energy is heavily influenced by government regulations and unless that is sorted out it is difficult for the industry to develop cohesive strategies that will see a more comprehensive approach towards a smarter energy system for the country.

Volkswagen Polo review
The VW Polo is a fantastic supermini, with smart styling, an impressive interior and great engines
The Volkswagen Polo is one of the most desirable superminis on the market, thanks to a strong combination of running costs, build quality and practicality. It's not quite as stylish as the new Renault Clio, and the Ford Fiesta is more fun to drive, but as an overall car the Volkswagen Polo is one of the best small cars on the market. The economical and powerful engine range is a big selling point for the Polo, and the Bluemotion unit is capable of 80mpg. There were a few updates to the Polo range in 2013, with a new midrange specification added. The Polo R-Line Style is based on the R-Line model, but can be fitted with a 1.2-litre engine instead, which means it fits into the lower insurance categories, 5E and 8E, respectively. There's also a VW Polo GTI model with a 178bhp 1.4-litre super and turbocharged engine for performance fans, and you can buy the car in either three-door or five-door body shapes. The full list of specifications is huge: S, S A/C, R-Line Style, Match Edition, R-Line Style A/C, R-Line, BlueMotion, SEL, BlueGT, and GTI.
Our choice: Polo 1.4 85 Match Edition
Whichever model you decide to go for, the Volkswagen Polo is a stylish little car. It lacks the imaginative styling of the Renault Clio, but it looks smart and understated. The interior quality is up there with bigger cars like the VW Golf, and puts it ahead of rivals like the Ford Fiesta and Peugeot 208 when it comes to sitting inside the car. The range was revised in April 2013, with extra kit and the addition of a new mid-range model that's aimed at younger drivers, with sporty styling but a more accessible price tag and insurance premiums. The entry-level S trim is not very well equipped - it only has 14-inch steel wheels and it doesn't even get air-con. For that, you'll need to go for the S A/C model, but we'd recommend the Match Edition, which includes 15-inch alloy wheels, front fog lamps, electric windows for the front and rear, Bluetooth and other device integration, plus door mirror and handles in the same colour as the body. Go for the R-Line models for a sportier interior look, or opt for the R-Line Style model if you need a smaller engine for cheaper insurance. SEL cars come with 16-inch alloys, cruise control and rear parking sensors as standard. The Volkswagen Polo GTI, aside from the powerful petrol engine, gets larger 17-inch alloy wheels, sports seats and a red stripe on the grille - so everyone knows it's a GTI.
The VW Polo has slightly lifeless steering and poor body control, which means it's not a patch on the Ford Fiesta, but most will be pleased with the stable and predictable driving experience. The real strength of the Polo is that it's very comfortable to drive - it's quiet inside the car, and the smooth ride means it's comfortable both in town and on the motorway. We'd choose the 1.2-litre turbocharged TSI petrol engine, as it's quiet and provides plenty of power for most driving. You can also get it with an excellent DSG automatic gearbox, which shifts smoothly. Don't confuse it with the entry-level 1.2-litre engine, however, which feels underpowered and rough. The new Volkswagen Polo BlueGT is powered by a new 1.4 TSI engine with 138bhp and 250Nm of torque, which means it goes from 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds - impressive for a car like this. The Polo GTI gets a hi-tech twin-clutch transmission and an electronic limited-slip differential, along with retuned suspension and a lower ride height. It's better to drive than the normal Polo but doesn't match the Ford Fiesta ST for driving thrills. Its 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine combines a supercharger and turbo to deliver 178bhp and 250Nm of torque.
With a five star Euro NCAP crash safety rating, the Volkswagen Polo should be very safe - especially with a 90 per cent rating for adult occupant protection. You get electronic stability control and anti-whiplash headrests as standard in the Polo, along with a full set of airbags. The Polo has not had any major recalls, and VW's reputation for reliability means it should be pretty dependable - though the Honda Jazz will be your best best if reliability is your biggest priority. Although the current Polo only managed a finishing place of 102 in the 2013 Driver Power survey, it should stand up pretty well, thanks to a range of tried-and-tested parts. In the survey, two areas were marked out as problems for owners, performance and technology, which let the German supermini down, according to your responses.
The Polo's 280-litre boot is not bad for its class, but it's nowhere near as spacious as the Honda Jazz and it's not great for trips to the dump. If you buy a Match model or above, you get 60:40 split-folding rear seats, which boosts the capacity to 952 litres. The Peugeot 208's 1,152 litres means the Polo falls behind for boot space in its class, but it does get a false floor for hiding valuables. Even entry-level Polos come with a full size spare wheel, which is rare in this class - so you've got peace of mind in case of a puncture while on the road. There's decent head and legroom in the rear, and if you go for the five-door model it's easy enough to get in and out as well. Avoid the very cheapest models and there's a good level of standard equipment, and the interior is very well built and should stand up to family life very well.
Running Costs
Go for the Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion, which emits 91g/km of CO2 and returns over 80mpg, if you're after the most efficient Polo you can get. Although the price tag is very high, if you're driving a lot of miles and want low petrol costs it's a solid choice. We think it's better for most buyers to go for the 1.2 TDI diesel, however, as it can return 72mpg and emits only 102g/km of CO2. The entry-level 1.20litre petrol gets 53.5mpg and emits 124g/km, but be aware - it feels very underpowered. Even the performance version, the GTI, gets 47.9mpg and CO2 emissions of 139g/km. Insurance premiums will be high for the GTI, though, but certain models in the Polo range will suit young drivers' requirement for low insurance groups. There's a fixed servicing plan for three years, too, which means you won't get stung for costly maintenance. Optional extras are expensive, however, and the cheapest models don't get much equipment at all.
Disqus - noscript
My new VW Polo 1.2 60 Match has been SHOCKINGLY UNRELIABLE! First was an engine management fault on delivery, second was an intermittent bulb-light circuit failure, third was a broken washer-pump followed by peeling paint on the rear bumper, lacking a primer. The boot won't shut properly and requires frequent slamming to lock. All of these faults occurred within 4 months of receiving the car. One dealer refused to fix the paintwork and another initially refused to fix the washer-pump before being persuaded by my invoking the involvement of VW GB headquarters. When it works, the car is smooth and refined, but the 3-cyl is not as economical as the 1.4 Seat Ibiza I owned previously. I will get a MINI next time.
Chris. Interested to read about your Polo. I also have a 4 month old Polo Match, and have also experienced a broken washer-pump and bulb-light (indicator) failure. I'm in discussion with my Dealer right now to get these resolved - interestingly their response seemed like I wasn't the first Polo customer to complain of the these issues. Did you have your problems resolved in the end? Would be good to compare notes.
Survives "tarting up" a tad better than its sister "granny wagon" the Skoda Fabia.
"Our choice: Polo 1.2 TSI Match Edition" - Are you sure this exists ? I've been looking for it for ages but, as far as I am aware, you can only get the 1.2TSi in the ridiculously expensive SEL edition. No problem in other countries, but not in UK
My other half's 2001 Polo expired after only 80,000 miles. I know it was an old car, but 80k is 80k. Clutch and gearbox went, smoke billowed out of the steering column because of an electrical short and the ignition system previously needed replacing.
The match spec is crying out for the TSi, but like you say in the UK it's stuck with nasty old 3 CYL 1.2's (hateful engines) and the just as old 1.4 85.
The Seat Ibiza FR 1.2tsi is available under £12k brand new, but quality is lacking compared to the Polo.
Strong 9/10 ;))
AE seems to get totally confused with the Polo's engine range. A recent article about the R Line Style model incorrectly said that the R Line has a 1.4 tsi engine, whereas it actually has the 1.2. The article above mentions the "entry level" 1.2tsi, but as has been mentioned its only available in the top SEL and R-line trims......
Another re-cycled 12 month old review
this magazine autoexpress is too much VW tendency!!
You should have bought a Honda Jazz like me. Totally reliable, economical, spacious for passengers with a large boot and brilliant flexible seating and as a bonus great dealer service
Not for me.
Is a "granny wagon" an older version of a "passion Wagon"?
Polos are rubbish and completely unreliable, to beat this buy any car from the orient. AE must be in a different universe or more likely taking bribes from VW.
Awful problems with Polo from week 1 ranging from engine faults to trim falling off for no reason. Build quality is the worst I have ever seen in a car and I ran a fleet of over 100 different vehicles. Terrible service from VW. Will never go near this brand again.

What's so damn important that it can't wait till we land?
unreachable /nritəb(ə)l/ adj. unable to be reached or contacted; inaccessible.
Sorry to spell it out but I wanted you to see the true meaning of this wonderful word one last time before it disappears into the kind of thin air that airplanes with Wi-Fi flap about in.
Technobabble has brought about many new dictionary definitions, from floppy disks to hard drives and everything in between. But now technology is making the dictionary thinner rather than fatter by rendering words such as 'unreachable' passé, or at least confined to describing children's footballs in tree branches.
I'm no hermit but, as far as I'm concerned, the best time is down time, being off limits, as unreachable as that children's football. That's one of the reasons I love flying. No one can contact me and I'm free to switch off both my mind and the ever-increasing number of gadgets that keep it connected to the world.
Flying is about freedom, about the wild blue yonder. It's a beautiful irony that life stops while you're rocketing along just shy of the speed of sound. But soon it will stop no more.
I recently rocketed from Dubai to Rome on the state-of-the-art Airbus A380 – the behemoth bird, the double-decker, the 500-seat settlement with wings. This is the world's largest commercial aircraft, so big it should have its own postcode when it lands. Whoever said size doesn't matter didn't work for Airbus. I would hate to be a cloud these days.
As usual I was flying cattle class but I stole a peek upstairs as I boarded and am fairly sure I spied a waterfall, or perhaps it was just a waterfall effect on the wall. Whatever it was, the only waterfall I have hitherto encountered on a long-haul flight was a leaking loo. Apparently there's a bar up there as well; one of the few bars on, err, earth that you can stumble away from and blame it on turbulence.
I was looking forward to the flight as much as the holiday because for me 'getting away from it all' starts when the pilots throttle the throttles. As I ordered a drink and reclined my chair further than I had expected it to recline, the purser announced that our cutting-edge craft was equipped with, da-da-ding, free Wi-Fi! This elicited an audible cheer from a number of passengers. It was as though they had been told we had enough oxygen for the journey.
But I'm getting off track, which is dangerous when you're flying. Where was I? Ah, yes – 30,000 feet above the Arabian Desert, about as remote as you can get from Abbott Street, yet I could still receive unsolicited emails hawking Viagra. Heavens above!
Live television, internet and, very soon, the possibility of using your mobile phone will be par for the celestial course. And it's not just the A380 that might soon become a flying phone booth, with Boeing recently announcing that its much-anticipated Dreamliner will also permit the use of mobile phones. Sounds more like the Nightmareliner to me.
Call me a dinosaur, or a Pterodactyl in this case, but I don't want to be able to use my mobile phone on a commercial flight, or at least a long-haul commercial flight. Yes, I know I can switch it off if I wish to remain unreachable, but I can't turn yours off, or those of the other 500 people on board. And some very important people have two mobiles these days.
A few weeks after that flight I was minding my own business on a London bus when the phone of a female passenger behind me played a tune I am too old to recognise; it wasn't Gangnam Style, but no doubt would be now. I also wouldn't recognise the passenger because I didn't see her face.
There is nothing I don't know about her love life, however. (He's 'babe-a-licious') Or her new job. (It's 'pants', which means 'displeasing' in the UK.) Or her flatmate. (Won't wash the dishes and picks his toenails when he watches a film.) Or last Saturday at the pub. (Drank too much.) Or the location of her next piercing… (Ouch!)
Everything the person on the other end of the line said was greeted with "presh", which I'm assuming meant "precious", and which, in a remarkable parallel, describes how I am on the subject of mobile phones and public transport.
At first I quite enjoyed her conversation. Writers love listening to the lives of people. But after three or four stops and 15 mentions of the word "presh" I wanted to tell her to pierce her tongue rather than her belly-button, if only because it might shut her up for a bit.
The one thing I clang onto on the 271 to Highgate Village was the fact that my stop wasn't far away. Imagine, however, how I might have felt had we been 30,000 feet above the Arabian Desert with six hours of unintentional eavesdropping ahead. Perhaps that's why there's a bar on board.
I'm sure the airlines will ask us to consider our fellow passengers in terms of phone usage, to put our gadgets on vibrate and to speak softly. Perhaps they will have sections of the plane where you can use phones and sections where you can't. But that's not the point. There is something wonderful about distance, about being remote, about not having everything immediately, about anticipation…
As the world shrinks and communicating with others seems to preoccupy the planet more than feeding every person on it, the beauty of distance disappears.
And that is far from presh.

There are two aspects to this, I think:
First, the OP is right. Being disconnected can be wonderful. I've always thought it a bit like my infrequent trips into the bush - the peace, the sounds of nature - they do something positive to the spirit, I'm sure. We're not meant to sit in an office.
Second, the OP is wrong. Some people like it, and if there's a market for it, we should have it. I can imagine there are an awful lot of businesspeople who would like to be responding to emails while they travel. Parents would love to give the iPhone to the kid to hush them, which is something I'm sure most travellers would be pleased about.
If you don't want to be connected, then disconnect yourself. You can do it at home easily enough.
GKM says:
With you 100%.
If there is a true emergency you can contact people on a plane via the airline. They radio the pilot and it gets put through to the small crew phone at the front of the plane. Add to that, that many carriers have phones located on the backs of the seats which can be used if you are willing to pay an outrageous credit card fee.
If it is not important enough to warrant using those methods - then it can wait till you land.
I travel regularly and will happily take my business to airlines that don't allow mobile phone use while in the air.
Chris says:
I agree re mobile phones and disagree re wifi.
Flights are boring and being able to surf or play a game would be great… although I think power sockets in seats would be more of an advance (in all planes, even retro-fitting them - and also not requiring some wierd cable that you can only buy from a shop in a remote corner of terminal 3 at Changi which is not much good when you are en-route to London).
Mobiles I agree are a step too far. I can only hope that the call charges are so massive that people don't have big long gossips on them whilst in the air.
iansand says:
I suspect that most flights are out of range of phone towers when they are at cruising altitude, and especially over oceans. This will still have to go through an onboard system, which will render it too expensive for casual mindless chat.
I hope.
asunder says:
On some level do you not think that the contrived importance we place on technology is a spiritual issue? As in, in lieu of fundamental connections to the Earth and spiritual fulfillment we do our best to find meaning in other ways, through technology, self-importance, etc…
Achmed says:
People who can't "live" without being in constant phone contact with someone need not fear the thought of brain cancer that mobile are reputed to cause.
Gotta have one first.
Maryjane. says:
During a train jouney yesterday a woman five rows away had a conversation on her mobile which lasted for the whole trip. The conversation was loud and intrusive.
I wear powerful hearing aids which, when I turn them off, will render crying babies silent during flights, so she was louder than a crying infant. God help anyone sitting next to her on a twelve hour plane trip
MD says:
Who would need to work on a plane trip, everyone must be on a holiday because that's the only reason people fly right?
Kika says:
I can see the benefit - it would be cool to check out the net and things when you are bored. Not with calls - Cattle Class is annoying at the best of times let alone having everyone around you on the phone. Texting would be ok. I can't seem to stay focused when I'm flying. I do something for 5 minutes and get bored really quickly. The only thing that gets me through is listening to music and getting stuck into a good book.
OzTrucker says:
It intrigues me that when some inconsiderate prat goes on with their antisocial behaviour (smoking right outside the building door or yapping on the mobile or the loud sounds emanating from cars, you can't call it music) and you point out their bad manners they seem to think they are not the one with the problem.
I went the the shopping centre the other week and was walking across the marked pedestrian walkway. As I took about my second pace I was very nearly hit by a car. I made a loud remark about road rules. I was duly rewarded with the finger and a screech of tyres. Lovely.
This, I think, illustrates the attitude today. Bugger anyone else. I do what I want.
So we will be able to be on the phone on the plane now. Perfect. Whatever happened to our right to the peaceful enjoyment of our life?
flee says:
Your argument is flawed. WiFi is data, not phone calls. I like WiFi because I like to have something to do on a flight. But I do completely agree that people who make calls in a confined space such as a plane or a train/bus are incredibly inconsiderate and annoying.
Terry2 says:
I was at a performance of Oliver in London some years ago; Barry Humphries was playing Fagin. All of a sudden a mobile phone went off and then, incredibly, the person took the call. Humphries paused mid-performance and glared in the general direction of the telephonista who finally exited the auditorium to continue the call….....unbelievable !
Meh says:
"one of the reasons I love flying. No one can contact me and I'm free to switch off both my mind"
That is exactly how I used to feel about flying, sipping away at a scotch n coke, listening to music, looking out the window, filling numbers into the suduko puzzle, reading a few pages. So wonderful I couldn't wait to board my next flight.
Then I had the kid, trying to keep a toddler entertained enough for a few hours so as to not disturb others in the space the size of a small cardboard box is a nightmare at the best of times. Bring on the WiFi and let me stream CBeebies Alphablocks, it is for your comfort!
True Blue Ozzie says:
While Wifi is a great tool, and has opened up the world to many, I think it's over used. I like to do things with out being tied down to a mobile phone etc. I dont want the world to have access to me 24/7, I like "me" time and value this time so much, it's a time to recharge the battery's get my head togethor, for the next onslaught of daily life. Yes "me" time is "presh"!
baddog says:
On my last flight from Brisbane to Perth (5 hours) I was sitting in front of the most boring, dim-witted woman alive. The entire trip she loudly verbalised every single thought that entered her brain, from what she could see out the window ("oh look at the lights and buildings and all the houses and the trees and the roads and the…") to reading every on-board entertainment option ("Modern Family. This episode is about blah blah blah…") Five hours of complete mind-destroying drivel. It was one of the worst experience I've had flying. And she wasn't a Gen Xer, she was about 60yrs old. My point is people with normal social intelligence won't abuse mobile phones on flights. People with no sense of social normality already make life hell.

1. MEASURE YOUR HEAD. Determine the circumference of the widest part of your head by using a flexible tape measure.
Generally, the widest part of a person's head is the area 2.5 cm (1") above the eyes and ears.
However, we suggest measuring at a few points both above and below that line to determine the greatest measurement before referring to our size tables.
We also suggest testing the fit of a helmet one size smaller and one size larger then what the chart recommends.
No helmet can provide protection if it's too uncomfortable to wear.
If you would like further detailed instructions on how to determine your correct size please look at our AFX Helmet Fitting Guide.
Comment: I like the helmet and especially the inside sun shield. It's nice the clear shield goes up and all the way back so no need to take it off if you don't use it, so does the chin bar. Great pherpheral view. Great bang for the buck.
Mike Conway
Comment: This is a very comfortable helmet. The flip up chin bar allows me to keep my glasses on when putting on or taking off the helmet. I really like the built in flip down sun shield.

Comment: My wife loves it I liked the fit and finish of hers I'm going to order myself one this week.

Comment: I own 10 helmets including Nolan, Bell Star, VOX &nd several other brands. Been riding since the 60s. Tried many brands of helms over the years. This is the BEST! quietest ( except for a half hem ) on the market & it has the same type of quick connect/relaese as the $400 Norlan and ski boots. And, an added safety feature which allows face to fip to the back of hem so you don't break your neck if you ride under a tree with face open. However, sizes run on the small side, I had to exchange 1st one as it was way too tight. I recommend getting one size bigger than factory chart for a comfy fit which is not too tight to cause a head ache. If you plan to wear a Dew Rag measure your head with it on as Dew Rags significantly increase the circumfrence of your head.

Comment: Just picked this one up to replace my GMax54 (which I melted..don't ask! lol) there are some pros and cons to the helmet. Pros: great value, quietest in its class!, nice air flow, snug fit, but feels secure. Con's: make sure you buy another inner sheild, the one that comes with the helmet is not optically correct and using both shield will make your eyes go gaga! Now the replacement inner shield is better optic's then what comes with the helmet. It's a really snug fit. All in all for the amount I paid, I got a good deal and this is a great 2nd helmet to have... the folding part of the modular part is great (no more scrapping it against the pipes by the ceiling in my garage. This helmet is surprisingly lightweight an as I mentioned before it's the quietest one I own ( I have a G-Max 54 modular & 68 full face as well as an HJC CL15) The color I ordered is the neon green to go with my hi-vis jackets but the actual color is a brite yellow. For the cost this is a good helmet!

Comment: I love this helmet. This is the first helmet of three I've tried that does not feel like the wind is trying to suck it off my head! It fits great, it feels great, LOVE the padded chin strap and the quick release buckle. The strap was a lot too long so I adjusted it and cut off about 4 inches then took a lighter to the ends, looks factory now. I love the venting and the sunshield. All in all, just another great purchase from Jafrum.
Comment: This is a fantastic helmet....Love it. It fits well, the quick relese strap is fantastic....a little long but easily trimmed. You will not be made purchasing this helmet!
SilVer Spring, MD
Comment: I have received many compliments on my new helmet. Other bikers have told me they have never seen a "pure orange" helmet before, and are asking where I got it. I chose the color for safety/visibility. It fits well, has three open/close air vents, and cuts engine noise significantly when face shield is down. The sun shade flips up and down with one hand using a slide button on the outside of the helmet. This is a real plus; I can put it down or back up without pulling over, which is very nice when the sun comes and goes with varying cloud movements. I have to take my glasses off before putting the helmet on and before taking it off. But, I guess that is normal for any full face helmet.
Central Pennsylvania
Comment: Lighter than my old Nolan, XL fits my head well but the cheek pads a too tight. Think going to 2XL would make fit too loose. May look into getting the 2XL replacement cheek pads.
Disappointed to see it is made in China. Prefer made in America products.
north New Jersey
Comment: I was initially drawn to this helmet by the price. Took a chance and ordered for both my wife and me. Supremely happy! Size chart was right on. As others have mentioned, this helmet is light on the head. This is very important to me because of a medical condition I have in my neck. I've already been on several long rides and have experienced much less neck discomfort than I had previously with my Nolan 3/4 helmet (that weighs more than this AFX). Construction quality is great. Easily mounted my Harley headsets.
Bruce G
Fredericksburg, VA
Comment: They arrived in a few days and are just fine. Remember these are very inexpensive helmets for all the features. Just a word of caution, I needed to install J&M headsets in these and THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM between the inside of the helmet and my ears for the speakers, so I had to highly modify (Dremmel Tool) the inside liner to make a recessed round hole for those speakers in both sides of both helmets. Other brands have enough space and need not be cut on so just know this if you are going to want speakers. I also had to drill holes for the mic mount instead of clamping them as on previous helmets. Otherwise happy. BUT the folks at Jafrum were wonderful and will buy from them again.

Big catch-up for me:
The Flash #0 - Okay issue storywise. It was great Manupal back on the art though. spoilers:
end of spoilers
I'm sure his dad's innocent.
Books of Magick: Life During Wartime v1 and #6-#15 - I enjoyed this book and its different alternative reality versions of the characters. Dean Ormston is one of the most underrated artists in comics.
Ultimate Comics X-Men by Nick Spencer v1 - Mmm.... not convinced.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (graphic novel adaptation) - I read about a third of this before giving up. I don't really like old Merchant Ivory productions and I hoped this would start off with the trappings of one and then go completely insane when the zombies turn up. Instead the zombies are just there as a backdrop to an otherwise pretty standard period M+A type story. Not necessarily bad, but not my cup of tea.
Stray Dogs - I'm obviously a quitter at the moment because I only made it two thirds of the way through before giving up on this one. Daniel Zezelj is a very good artist, but the stories had no interest for me - and for the most part didn't seem to have much to do with the art.
Ultimatum - People often accuse writers like Mark Millar and Garth Ennis of using shock value to carry their stories and I disagree because they at least manage to keep it entertaining. This on the other hand.... A plotless slaughter of characters - often by other characters who just turn up at random with no apparent connection to the story. I'm totally up for this kiind of wholesale slaughter if they could make it entertaining. They should have got Mark Millar in to do the job. Oh and I normally don't mind David Finch's art, but here he was full of bad 90s excess - including times where you have to turn the book sideways to read a page for no good reason other than the artist was too lazy to come up with a composition that works the right way up.
Lullabies From Hell - Good selection of creepy horror stories.
Fight for Tomorrow - Not as bad as I'd heard. Not as good as Brian Wood's better work.

Embattled Sweetwater Police Chief Roberto Fulgueira is expected to announce his retirement Thursday morning, ending his 32-year career with the department.
Fulgueira departure comes as his department is in the midst of a wide-ranging investigation by state and federal agents examining allegations of both public corruption and civil rights violations by its officers.
Fulgueira has come under scrutiny in recent months because of his decision several years ago to give a controversial, no bid, towing contract to a former business partner of then-Mayor Manny Marono, who was arrested earlier. this year.
Fulgueira abruptly ended the agreement with the company, Southland Towing, in February. But as el Nuevo Herald and CBS4 reported this month that oral agreement between Fulgueira and Southlands owner, Robert Muriedas remains under investigation by the FBI.
Neither Fulgueira nor Muriedas have been accused of any wrongdoing. Marono was removed from office earlier this year after he was indicted on an unrelated public corruption case.
Fulgueira started with the Sweetwater Police Department in 1980 as an auxiliary officer and rose through the ranks before being named Chief by then-Mayor Marono in 2005.
As part of his retirement, Fulgueira, 54, reportedly worked out a deal with city officials to maintain his health insurance and other benefits for three years.
Fulgueiras retirement also comes just days after his mothers death last weekend.

Dual-tone air horn from Stebel of Italy available in Black or Chrome. Loud enough to convince other drivers that there's a derailed freight train barreling down on them. Don't press the horn button in the garage, it hurts! At 139dB it can be heard for almost 3 city blocks! YEEEOOOWWW!
Note: Stebel horns currently ship in packaging with FIAMM branding, do not be alarmed, they are the same product.
Includes a single M8 mounting bolt and nut, as well as a relay for providing a direct, high current attachment to the motorcycle's battery.
No wires, fuses, or bike-specific mounting brackets are included.
Need wiring help? Check out this horn relay wiring diagram. If you're still confused, you should probably buy our Plug-N-Play wiring kit for Stebel Compact Nautilus Airhorns.
Previously, I'd tried the stock (go-cart) horns on my Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom, then moved to dual FIAMM Highway Blasters with a dedicated horn relay, which were a significant improvement. Still, I felt like other drivers couldn't hear my horns very well on the highway.
With the Stebel air horn, there's no doubt that people can hear me. When I tried them outside of TwistedThrottle.com's warehouse, everyone in the warehouse (as well as two of our neighbors) came outside to see what was going on. These horns are really freakin' LOUD.
Michael, our former warehouse manager, affectionately calls them "People Deafeners."
Keep this in mind: sound energy doubles for every 3 points you go up in the decibel scale. It means that the Stebel Nautilus horn, which produces 139 dB of sound, puts out a LOT more sound than these popular horns:
- 800% of the sound energy of the more expensive 130dB FIAMM Freeway Blaster;
- 600% louder than the $140, 130 dB Pro Pad Mini Beast horn;
- 650% louder than the $179, 128dB Rivco dual trumpet horn.
You will not be dissapointed - just make sure you wire the included relay properly, as replacement horns used without a relay don't get enough electrical current to be fully effective.
Technical specifications:
- Sound Output: 139 dB
- Operating Voltage: 12 Volts
- Absorbed Current: less than 18A
- Fundamental Frequency: 530 Hz & 680 Hz
- Weight: 0.6 kg (1.3 lbs)
- Dimensions: Approximately 4.8"x4.5"x3"
- Reaction time: less than 90 milli-seconds
In addition to this horn & relay, you'll need to pick up the following items from Auto Zone/Pep Boys/Radio Shack to complete installation:
MATERIALS (not included with horn):
- 14 to 16 gauge wire, 10 ft - 20 ft length (more than enough)
- 2 splice-in wire connectors (blue plastic variety)
- 6 female blade-style quick disconnects (Radio Shack 64-3049)
- 3 ring connectors for attachment to battery terminals
- 1 in-line fuse holder with 30 amp automotive fuse
- weather resistant electrical tape (or just use weather-sealed heat-shrink connectors)
Stebel Horn Vs. a stock horn on a Yamaha FJR1300
Also fits ATVs, scooters, cars, trucks, freight trains, airplanes, steamships, cotton gins, and any other vehicles equipped with 12-volt power.
Per the manufacturer, this horn should be mounted so that the cylinder is vertical (with the horn facing down). There should be no more than a 15 degree variance from the vertical position. If it is not mounted per these specifications, then the horn may cease to function after a period of time.
If you own a 2003-2005 Harley Davidson motorcycle and horn relays are repeatedly failing, please visit your local dealership to upgrade your horn button under the Harley recall.
Installation on the Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom:
To fabricate the mount shown on the Suzuki V-Strom pictured on this page, you'll need the following:
- one 20mm x 100mm x 2mm strip of aluminum or steel (to fabricate bracket)
- one metric M8 nylon locknut
(1) Drill a 6.5mm diameter hole about 10mm from one end of the metal strip, and drill an 8.5mm hole about 10mm from the other end of the metal strip.
(2) Place two 45-degree bends in the metal strip, each in opposite directions. The first bend should be about 20mm from the end of the metal strip with the 6.5mm dia. hole. The send bend should be 30mm further from the same end of the metal strip.
(3) Bolt the 8.5mm hole end of the metal strip to the horn using the M8 locknut.
(4) Bolt the 6.5mm-hole end to the bike using the stock radiator mount screw on the left side of the bike, facing the offset toward the center of the motorcycle.
Installation on other bikes may vary! If you've documented how to install the horn on your bike, send us the photos & instructions, and we'll post them for everyone!
Note: The horn model offered here is the Compact Stebel Nautilus model, which is produced in all black OR chrome with black trim. The Compact Nautilus is the smallest, loudest, most vibration-resistant model offered by Stebel, and is the most appropriate for use on motorcycles.
The Original Stebel Nautilus is a significantly larger (but not louder) horn model that is produced by Stebel in black, red, or chrome-plated plastic. It is prone to damage from motorcycle vibration, and the chrome-plated plastic version has a poor finish that chips easily. For these reasons, we do not offer the Original Nautilus model.
The below fit chart lists a few of the horn & bracket combinations that we've tested. With a little creativity, the horn can be mounted on almost any motorcycle, car, or truck!
Confirmed fit list
- K1200R (see installation tutorial)
- R1200GS (use custom bracket made from strap steel)
- F650GS & F650GS/Dakar ( use a double L-bracket made of strap steel)

- VMAX with L bracket behind the right hand side of the radiator.
- V-Star 1100 Classic (mount between front frame downtubes)
- V-Star 650 Classic/Silverado - mount on the factory engine guard
- XV1700 Road Star Warrior, all years (mounts to original right-side horn mount using 2.5" L Bracket)
Customer Testimonial: Alan W. I found that using an L bracket from Stanley and painting it flat black it looks great on my VMAX. I mounted it right behind the radiator on the right hand side of the bike. Be sure to move your bike outside before letting it loose. This is one loud horn that will get everyone's attention.
- Review by Douglas
- Review by dana
Mounted inside the cowling of my 2009 DL650A. I used the included relay powered by the stock horn and power leads back to the battery.
If you give a quick hit of the horn button, the horn emits a short "bleep" - hold it down and you get the full volume.
For some reason, motorists do not react aggressively to this horn the way they do to standard diaphragm horns. So you can use it whenever there is a potential threat without irritating everyone around. I've even seen people smile at the sound!
Recommended for all cyclists and I may even put them on my eBike!

A big player recruitment initiative, ground improvemnts and now signing a coach from Leeds. All very impressive and Dewsbury will be a team to be watched next season. How are they paying for it all ? Did they find a pot of gold somewhere.?
Posted 09 December 2012 - 08:23 PM
Definitely no pots of gold. Strict budgets at the Rams. Big player recruitment down to losing some of our best players to clubs paying more to be replaced mostly by SL u20s cast-offs and a few old heads. Will struggle to make play-offs but hopefully should avoid relegation.

Moyes backs Everton to play like favourites
David Moyes believes Everton deserve their billing as favourites for Sunday's Merseyside derby and has challenged his side to live up to it.
The Toffees have made a much better start to the season than city rivals Liverpool and go into the match six points ahead and looking to preserve an unbeaten record at Goodison Park this term.
Everton's record in derbies in the decade since Moyes arrived at the club has been one of his biggest disappointments, with the Scot having won only four of 23 meetings.
Last season the Toffees finished ahead of Liverpool in the table but lost all three matches against the Reds, including painfully at Wembley in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
Moyes said: "I think we're much closer. I thought we went into the FA Cup semi-final maybe slight favourites because of our form. It didn't work out that way but I think over my time here we've been playing catch-up, which is right, we have to say that honestly.
"I think we possibly go into this game slightly ahead of Liverpool, but we need to show it, we need to prove it. We didn't do it in the game at Wembley so we have to try to do it in this one."
As well as form, Everton can also point to other potential advantages.
Unlike Liverpool, who played in the Europa League on Thursday, they have had a whole week to prepare, while Reds boss Brendan Rodgers will be experiencing his first Merseyside derby, which Moyes admits can take some getting used to.
He said: "The way the Premier League is, the games are so intense, I do think if you can have a free week then it's better, but if you asked me would I like to be in Europe, I'd rather be playing in Europe and going into a derby than not.
"Being in derbies of this magnitude is something that, once you do it, you actually realise what it's like. I was fortunate to play in Old Firm games which sort of set me up for what to expect in this game.
"I think being a manager in it is something slightly different but once you get your first one under your belt it makes you feel a lot easier. Brendan will have experience from Cardiff and Swansea derbies, which are fiercely contested."
Everton's success and Liverpool's struggles have certainly given an added twist to Sunday's match.
The relationship between the two has not had the same heat as the battles between Liverpool and Manchester United in recent years, with Moyes admitting his side have not been seen as enough of a threat.
The match will also be played out against the backdrop of the Hillsborough Independent Panel report, the outcome of which has been both cathartic and traumatic for the city.
Everton staged their own touching tribute to the 96 victims of the 1989 stadium disaster ahead of their game against Newcastle last month, which was very well received by the red half of the city.
Moyes said: "This is a city that has come together in the last two or three months with the news about the Hillsborough disaster. I think the city has pulled together but I still think the fans want the competitive spirit amongst them.
"They want to have a go at their pals if they're Liverpool supporters if we win and vice versa, so that hasn't changed. It's a great rivalry.
"Probably over the years Everton haven't done enough to compete against Liverpool and because of that maybe Liverpool haven't considered Everton that big a threat, and rightly so, but I think now we're getting a bit closer.
"The derbies are always good, we enjoy them, we've not had enough success in them, but we go into it in a good frame of mind, nice and positive, we've got a lot of self-belief."
Everton will be without suspended playmaker Steven Pienaar and injured midfielder Darron Gibson (thigh) but midfielder Marouane Fellaini (knee) and full-back Tony Hibbert (calf) could make welcome returns.

useful in acquainting visitors with common species and habitats on the area.

Despite some encouraging reports about Black Friday sales, one analyst sees a battle ahead for retailers during the crucial holiday shopping season.
Dana Telsey, the CEO of Telsey Advisory Group, listed Macy's, Express, Aeropostale, Vera Bradley, and Abercrombie & Fitch among the winners in terms of traffic over the Black Friday weekend.
Retailers that did not see as much of a Black Friday bump included luxury and women's apparel retailers, she told CNBC's "Squawk Box."
"Luxury brands obviously don't play in Black Friday weekend," Telsey said. "They play as you get closer to Dec. 25. Women's apparel retailers are for self-purchase. They're not as much for gifting so you're not going to see the traffic there."
Overall, Telsey said she thought traffic was a little bit lighter compared to 2011's numbers.
Reports about the shopping holiday's success were mixed. The National Retail Federation reported a surge in spending for the weekend to $59.1 billion from $52.4 billion last year, while research firm ShopperTrak reported a 1.8 percent decrease in retail sales on Black Friday.
"I think there's a long way to go, but certainly, I think, this season — it's going to be a battle almost every single day as you keep getting through to those 10 days before the 25th," she added. "I think we go into a lull period now before you get the big sales coming again."
