In the recent decision of Mansion Estates Ltd v Hayre & Co (a Firm) the High Court considered the issue of witness credibility when deciding whether the defendant firm of solicitors had acted negligently in respect of the purchase of land and the sub-sale of part of that land.
In late 2006 the Defendant was instructed by the Claimant to act for him in the purchase of a £1.7m property in Bradford and in respect of the sub-sale of part of the property for £450,000. The transfer of the whole site was completed on 9 November 2007. Although the Claimant received the £450,000 from the sub-sale and handed the keys over to the purchaser on 9 November 2007, the actual transfer of the sub-sale was not registered until 9 April 2008. In respect of the sub-sale the Defendant acted for both the Claimant (as vendor) and the purchaser. When the Claimant tried to sell the retained land in 2009, investigations into title revealed that very limited access rights and no rights of way had been retained.
The Claimant alleged the Defendant's principal had attached and filed the wrong TP1 transfer form such that it diminished the value of the retained land due to loss of access rights. What sets this case apart is that the Claimant accused the Defendant's principal of fabricating a series of attendance notes and documents some 2 years later when the claim came to light. The Defendant denied that the wrong plan had been attached and asserted (supported by various attendance notes) that he had advised the Claimant that the plan would cause "blight" to the retained land but that the Claimant instructed him to proceed in any event.
It was also alleged that the Claimant overpaid £18,000 in SDLT on the sub-sale because the Defendant failed to use the concession for SDLT available under s 45 of the Finance Act 2003 which allows reduced SDLT if the contract to purchase the whole site and the sale of part of it take place at the same time. The Defendant's positon was that the purchase and sub-sale were not simultaneous as the sub-sale completed on 9 April 2008.
The key issues for the Court to determine were:
- Which plan the Defendant was given and whether the Claimant was told that the terms of the sub-sale blighted the retained land?
- Whether the purchase of the whole site and the sub-sale had been simultaneous.
Judgment was given to the Claimant for £211,000 (being the lost value of the retained land caused by filing the wrong plan) plus £18,000 in overpaid SDLT. The SDLT point was clear; the s45 concession is available not just on completion but also on "substantial performance" and the Judge considered that on any view the handing over of the purchase monies and the keys warranted substantial performance.
In relation to the allegations of fabrication the Judge made it clear that this was not a case where one party had "misremembered" events or made an "innocent error". The Judge accordingly had to make a finding as to which witness he preferred, with the consequence that the other witness was dishonest, which for the Defendant in particular had potentially far reaching professional consequences. Whilst there were aspects of the Claimant's evidence which the Judge found troubling (such as the Claimant's allegation of a conspiracy between the Defendant and the lender bank, HSBC, for which there was no evidence), the Judge found that the Defendant's evidence "troubled him even more". For example, the Defendant only released a copy of his files when threatened with a referral to the SRA. The Defendant sent a fax at the time his attendance note stated he was in a meeting with the Claimant; the Judge could find no credible explanation for this (save that either the fax machine showed the wrong time or the Defendant recorded the wrong time because he did not wear a watch). The Defendant did not help his credibility by asserting the Claimant had staged a burglary in which the only items taken were the original files relating to this matter.
The Judgment very helpfully goes through the main factors to consider when determining whether a witness is lying and is useful guidance in assessing whose evidence is likely to be preferred at trial.
"Inherent improbability", and whether a solicitor or any other professional is more or less likely to mislead the Court than any other person, should be considered in context. Consistency is also key, not only in the witness's written and oral evidence but also in relation to other evidence. The presence of independent evidence also ranks high on the list of factors to consider but must be balanced against any motive the witness may have for misleading the court and whether the witness has engaged in "wild speculation or uncorroborated allegations of fabrication".
Following Mumtaz Properties v Ahmed [2011} EWCA 610, the Judge agreed that the witness's credibility should be assessed not just from their "general demeanour" but the Court should also consider what other independent evidence was available. Contemporaneous written documentation is stated to be of "the greatest importance in assessing credibility" and is significant both in its presence and absence. However, in this case the Defendant's contemporaneous written documentation did not stand up to scrutiny. Further, the Defendant's assertion, some 8 years after the event, that he was able to recollect specific dates/times simply weakened his credibility.
The Judge asked himself the question whether or not it was likely that a solicitor would possibly risk his career to avoid a finding of negligence. His response, a sad indictment as to the state of the professions, was that "it would be wrong to assume that it is inherently more improbable that a professional person will be dishonest than anyone else. If ever such a view validly had traction, I do not think it can do so in the modern world".
The Judge, in finding for the Claimant, ultimately took a pragmatic approach in this case (no doubt influenced heavily by the Defendant's questionable conduct) and concluded it was hardly likely that the Claimant would have given the Defendant a plan that blighted his own retained land and then proceeded to ignore the advice given.

Amaimon - Ao no Exorcist
Israel Kami-Con 2011-2nd place in Advances Singles
|This was my last official Cosplay in Israel before moving to the UK. It was much more spontaneous than most of my cosplay [which I plan months ahead] this one was decided upon a month before the Con and I didn't regret it for a second.
Since it's pretty simple I put a lot of effort into the small details, like the skull-buttons, the nails and the make-up. Apparently it paid up, because I won 2nd place in advanced singles category [and competition this year was TOUGH]
Later we took it to the amusement park with my lovely group to make a special video. We had tons of fun and this may be the cosplay I had most fun in EVER [as uncomfortable as it may be]

The Fifth Avenue New York store was host to a star-studded party in celebration of its opening. Celebrities such as Macaulay Culkin and Emily Mortimer showed up to partake in the festivities. Guest celebrity DJs such as Fab Moretti and Binki Shapiro (both from the band Little Joy) and Jenny Lewis (of Rilo Kiley fame) provided the sound system for the evening.
With the unveiling of their brand new flagship stores comes another fresh beginning for Sunglass Hut. For the first time, the sunglass retailer is pairing up with a celebrity for style advice. Rachel Bilson (pictured), most notably of "The O.C." fame, (and also in attendance at the event) has been appointed style director for Sunglass Hut. She will work closely with the teams at Sunglass Hut, using her style savvy to deliver the latest eyewear trends. Bilson will connect with Sunglass Hut's consumers by making in-store appearances, writing a trend blog on the company's web site, conducting interviews with designers and style influencers and hosting an ongoing question and answer segment online, where consumers can ask about their eyewear needs.
"When we envisioned the style director position and looked at Rachel's personal style and love of sunglasses, it was a very obvious gut feeling that she was the perfect person to take on this new role," says Fabio d'Angelantonio, CEO of Sunglass Hut. "Rachel has a clear vision of how to integrate this job on all levels from selecting the newest trends, sharing the information online and with consumers and really showing how sunglasses are a key accessory."

Mission Statement
SAFE is a community organization whose mission is to fight for racial, social and economic justice and gender equality by fostering working class power through direct action, coalition building, education, and advocacy. In organizing poor and working class people of diverse cultures and nationalities, we shall encourage individual empowerment and community leadership to generate a movement effecting systemic change and societal transformation.
Organizational Principles
The People
Of paramount importance are the concerns, interests and well-being of the people directly taking a stand against foreclosure and bank eviction. People are always encouraged to come to SAFE's open meetings to seek support, but SAFE cannot fight for people, only with people in a spirit of mutual aid and solidarity. All of SAFE's fights are made public in the interests of transparency and building the movement.
Education and Values
Homeowners and tenants facing foreclosure or eviction may tend to blame themselves for their circumstances. On the contrary, the cause of their economic plight lies entirely with a system that puts profits first and people last, a system defined by unprecedented material inequality and injustice. We believe having a home – along with food, clothing, healthcare, and education – is a human right and that any society which values money and greed over human well-being needs to be replaced by a society whose objectives are human happiness, equality, and freedom.
Non-sectarian (religious, political, philosophical, etc.)
We will join forces with other community groups, and potentially support their actions or events, when (a) they are in concert with our mission, and (b) when the group or event exists to serve a particular social justice mission, versus promoting sectarian agendas. By sectarian agendas, we mean narrow, dogmatic causes or programs that emphasize exclusion of certain segments of the people over unity. While we may support or fight against specific legislation, and thereby pressure our legislative representatives on specific issues, we will not support political parties or particular candidates running for office.
When possible, our work will be undertaken in conjunction with established organizations working in the relevant area of social justice. This ensures that our work is viewed as productive and a positive contribution by groups that are already active in the field, and that we can benefit from the guidance of experienced activists.
In our work we will have specified objectives, along with, when feasible, a specific and realistic work plan, including tasks and timelines if appropriate. We will seek to ensure that we possess the skills and resources to carry out our work.
Hands-on Engagement
Our work will have concrete social benefits, placing primary emphasis on keeping people in their homes.
Civil Disobedience
If our members engage in collective, nonviolent civil disobedience tactics, we will plan and discuss the action beforehand and work to ensure the safety of all participants. We will partner with other groups if we agree collectively that their plans and actions are in line with our principles and goals.
Additional Principles of Unity
As a member of the Right To The City National Alliance our principles also include:
Land for People vs. Land for Speculation
The right to land and housing that is free from market speculation and that serves the interests of community building, sustainable economies, and cultural and political space.
Land Ownership
The right to permanent ownership of urban territories for public use.
Economic Justice
The right of working class communities of color, women, queer and transgender people to an economy that serves their interests.
Indigenous Justice
The right of First Nation indigenous people to their ancestral lands that have historical or spiritual significance, regardless of state borders and urban or rural settings.
Environmental Justice
The right to sustainable and healthy neighborhoods & workplaces, healing, quality health care, and reparations for the legacy of toxic abuses such as brown fields, cancer clusters, and superfund sites.
Freedom from Police & State Harassment
The right to safe neighborhoods and protection from police, INS/ICE, and vigilante repression, which has historically targeted communities of color, women, queer and transgender people.
Immigrant Justice
The right of equal access to housing, employment, and public services regardless of race, ethnicity, and immigration status and without the threat of deportation by landlords, ICE, or employers.
Services and Community Institutions
The right of working class communities of color to transportation, infrastructure and services that reflect and support their cultural and social integrity.
Democracy and Participation
The right of community control and decision making over the planning and governance of the cities where we live and work, with full transparency and accountability, including the right to public information without interrogation.
The right of working class communities of color to economic reciprocity and restoration from all local, nation and transnational institutions that have exploited and/or displaced the local economy.
The right to support and build solidarity between cities across national boundaries, without state intervention.
Rural Justice
The right of rural people to economically healthy and stable communities that are protected from environmental degradation and economic pressures that force migration to urban areas.

Volkswagen Group selects NVIDIA as key strategic partner to develop AI-Cockpit
6 January 2017
The Volkswagen Group has selected NVIDIA as its strategic partner for the new Volkswagen Group Future Center California in Silicon Valley. Johann Jungwirth, Chief Digital Officer of Volkswgen AG, made the announcement at CES 2017, where VW's Audi brand is demonstrating a piloted Q7 concept. (Earlier post.) NVIDIA is a key strategic partner of the Volkswagen Group with its 12 brands.
Volkswagen is integrating NVIDIA technologies like the DRIVE AI Car Computing Platform, NVIDIA Driveworks Software as well as the NVIDIA DGX-1 AI Super Computer to develop an Artificial Intelligence-based Cockpit delivering the best digital user experience in the world.—Johann Jungwirth
Volkswagen is developing this new driving experience in close collaboration with NVIDIA at its Volkswagen Group Future Center California in Belmont, California, and will bring this AI-Cockpit to market in the coming years. The AI-Cockpit will include a massive reduction of hard controls as well as user interactions and is based on a self-learning intelligent digital assistant that anticipates user needs and provides in-vehicle UX that knows what the user wants without asking, based on situation, context, location and additional smart data.
The mission of the Future Center is to make Volkswagen Group vehicles best in class in terms of customer experience, interface design, operating logic, new interior concepts, infotainment and entertainment. The California facility will be the Volkswagen Group's hub for Advanced Design as well as Advanced UX & Engineering in Silicon Valley. Volkswagen Group also operates two sister Future Center facilities, located in Potsdam (Germany) and Beijing (China).
With the Future Center California, Volkswagen is progressing toward its goal of being a leading provider of sustainable mobility by 2025. Artificial Intelligence will play a vital role as the company rapidly grows its digitalization and connectivity solutions.—Johann Jungwirth
January 6, 2017 in Brief | Permalink | Comments (1)
It was a scoop for NVIDIA to get Tesla as their customer again for Tesla's hardware revision 2 of their autopilot. They competed with AMD and Intel that was also considered by Tesla. Now NVIDIA is getting many new orders for their automotive chips from older automakers. And when Tesla succeed in making the software for full autonomy later this year or during H1, 2018 NVIDIA also get the right to brag about its chip the PX2 being the world's first chip to power a fully autonomous car.
Autonomous cars will require seriously powerful computers like the 24 terra flops in PX2. Far more processing power than needed for most office work. We will need about 1 billion fully autonomous vehicles to do nearly all transportation services on the planet. Probably only 100 million vehicles will be privately owned. The rest will be used as taxies in order to maximize the usage of these expensive and durable machines. So it is a big potential market for NVIDIA. It will be 1 billion supercomputers with a spare for redundancy so a fleet of 2 billion supercomputers.

Despite the fact the new BlackBerry 7 browser is leaps and bounds above previous versions, not everyone has a BlackBerry 7 device to make use of. Some folks out there may even have a BlackBerry 7 device and still want to use a different browser. Opera is aware of this fact and now -- they've made Opera Mini 6.5 available for download. In this release you'll find better data optimization which can help reduce data usage, when compared to other browser Opera uses only 10% of the data they use. If you're watching out for your data consumption, that's quite a bit. Thanks, Dennis!

Opera Mini 6.5 now available for BlackBerry smartphones
:o me too!
I can't get it to run (the previous version worked.) It installs (over the internet) but when I try to run it, it says it is installing and then fails because it is "Unable to connect to the internet. Please check you settings."
There is a thread in the forum about it... http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-apps-f35/opera-mini-6-5-a-666537/
The poster "ringo7213" said that if you were having issues "after the installation does not load pages go to settings advanced protocol and choose http"
hope that helps
Still only got 2 stage zooming :(
I coincidentally installed this today before seeing this post. I came from the previous version and not the biggest fan of it but it gets the job done when the BB browser can't. I'm just annoyed by the entirely different shortcuts and no multi touch capability.
Not as smooth as bb browser and I also found it to be oddly slow since I remember it was quite speedy on my old os5 phone. On my 9900 its just annoying. If you don't mind using more data then opera isn't really worth it.
If it's not as speedy as the BlackBerry os7 browser, then I'm not using it. That was the main issue with os6 (too chunky) so I deleted it.
just installed on my BB Torch 9810, installed flawless over WiFi connection, and playing around with the settings, so far so good....im impressed, but i think Blackberry's native OS7 browser is better overall.
I'll keep Opera Mobile browser for a little while longer....thanx for the post CrackBerry:)
6.5 sucks. 6.1 worked flawlessly but this turkey keeps randomly refusing to connect. I have changed the settings and still does not work right. it takes a reboot to get it to connect again temporarily then wham it is back to saying it cannot connect.
Thankfully I have a backup of 6.1 and can re install it.
Unable to connect to the internet.

On one of the first rainy days that drought-stricken California has had in months, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee stood out of the rain in an unfinished retail space on the city's gentrifying Market Street. Exposed pipes ran past naked plaster and cold concrete floors, but the drab backdrop had shining significance: above the retail space were nearly two dozen brand new, below-market rate apartments, the kind of housing the land-constrained, soaringly expensive city desperately needs—and that the mayor has vowed to provide.Housing in San Francisco has become the most costly in the nation, spurring an affordability crisis that has pushed protesters into the street and low-income earners out of their homes. It has also inspired a flurry of activity at City Hall, where politicians have been churning out proposals aimed at fixing housing problems and easing the city's simmering class tensions. Lee's latest effort, announced at a press conference in the retail space on Thursday, calls for cutting red tape in the cumbersome review process for new projects and giving priority to proposals that include units for lower-income residents.Other proposals have been more ambitious and far more controversial. Here's a look at seven other plans for solving San Francisco's housing crisis:Build, build, buildOne of the city's biggest problems is that far more people now want to live here than can currently fit. In his "State of the City" address in January, Lee announced the ambitious goal of building or rehabilitating 30,000 new homes by 2020, the equivalent of 5,000 each year—and a massive increase from the rate that the city has been building. In 2011, a mere 260 units were completed in the City by the Bay. Lee has said he wants one-third of the new units to be "permanently affordable" to lower-income residents.

Storm madness
Television reporters have a tough job to do during a typhoon. A TVB reporter braved the recent storm to give viewers a first-hand account of what was happening in Tsim Sha Tsui.
The wind was so strong that night he was almost blown down, but he was very brave and did a good job.
Everybody knows it is dangerous to go outside during bad weather. When the typhoon swept past the city last Sunday, there was so much wind and rain the No 9 signal was raised.
But news reporters have to do their job, come rain or shine.
They deserve praise from the community.
Yanki Ho Tsz-yan, Kit Sam Lam Bing Yim Secondary School
From the Editor
Thanks for your letter, Yanki. There is brave, and then there is just plain silly. News journalists are brave when they go into conflict zones or risk imprisonment or worse to bring important stories to the world. Those are stories worth risking life and limb for.
But no one 'needs' to know what a storm looks like, or worse, what a TV reporter trying to file a report in a storm looks like. That's rather like rushing into a burning building to tell viewers what it feels like to be trapped in a fire.
There needs to be some sort of sense involved when gathering news stories. The risk needs to be weighed against the value to the viewer. Frankly, if you want to know what a roaring typhoon looks like in Hong Kong - next time one comes along, look out of your window.

Canadian TV
What is your favorite Canadian TV show?
I am a huge fan of Murdoch Mysteries. I've been watching the show since it began and it never lets me down! I love that they add in interesting historical figures like Nicola Tesla, and make reference to scientific discoveries that were going on at the time (this week it was Curie and the use of radium).
I also like the Rick Mercer Report, although I don't watch it consistently like I do with Murdoch Mysteries.
Re: Canadian TV
I love Cash Cab lol
Re: Canadian TV
I used to watch Rick Mercer a lot. Hmm, Being Erica was pretty good for the first season but then I lost interest after a while.
I would say Corner Gas is my favourite.
Re: Canadian TV
Yeah I watched a few episodes of Being Erica when it first aired but lost interest too.
lol at cash cab! I forgot about reality style TV shows. I watched an episode of Canadian Pickers the other day and it was... ok. Probably wont watch it again though. When I was on mat leave I watched a lot of Food network while nursing or when my son was napping on me, and I really like Michael Smith. I even made a few things from the show and it was pretty good. I have a cookbook of his now too and there are some good, but easy recipes in it that I like.
Re: Canadian TV
I like Cash Cab too! :lol: And now, Big Brother Canada (so far lol) but I'm not sure that's technically a Canadian show or not..
Re: Canadian TV
Has anyone watched Bomb Girls on Global? It's really good!
Re: Canadian TV
I've never watched that! I may have to check it out :)
I'm not a fan of Canadian Pickers, DH doesn't mind it but it doesn't appeal to me. They were out East in one episode and I loved the history. And I saw one where they were at Lucy Maude Montgomery's home which was neat.

what year SVis it? does it turn over or is it dead at the button???? check your ignition fuse..probably not the main fuse if u have panel lights...
i notice
you say you haven't ridden for 13 yrs. I take it you are doing the obvious?
Clutch in, not in gear and kill switch to run?
Modern bikes have kill switches everywhere to stop you binning it. Especially when pulling away.
If you are doing these then a check of the clutch switch and side stand switches are in order on your post 2003 FI 650.

First Capital Connect pays passengers bigger refunds as threat to franchise looms
The railway operator that has been called the worst company in Britain said last night that it would pay passengers additional compensation after three months of disruption and cancelled trains.
First Capital Connect (FCC), owned by First Group, the transport group, is trying desperately to resurrect its franchise after a torrid three months, which ended last week with Lord Adonis, the Transport Secretary, threatening to remove the operator's franchise and effectively put the train service into public ownership.
The rail operator, whose service runs through the heart of the City, will pay regular travellers compensation worth 5 per cent of the value of a season ticket or ten free days of travel. Standard-class season tickets on the route cost up to £4,000 a year.

It is one thing to witness inter-tribal marriages in Nigerian where couples get to appreciate each others' wedding customs and tradition. It is another to witness wedding from two different races where there is literally nothing that might make their lifestyle similar.
Well a Nigerian lady has tied the knot with a Chinese man and the Chinese actually imbibed a lot of our wedding attires to use. In short you can mistaken them for an extremely fair Ibo person.

Odell Beckham Jr. may have made the play of the year, but it was more than that which earned him Rookie of the Month.
The Giants' first-round pick was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for November after leading the NFL - all players, not just rookies -- with 118.6 receiving yards per game and becoming the first rookie with at least 90 receiving yards in five games in a single month.
Obviously, that last part relies on a quirk in the calendar, but his numbers for the five games in November were pretty impressive.
Beckham recorded 38 catches for 593 yards in November. After missing the first four games of the season, he has 48 receptions for 699 yards and five touchdowns.
He's on pace to shatter the Giants' rookie record for receiving yards, set by Jeremy Shockey with 894 in 2002.
He could approach the rookie record for receptions by a Giant, also set by Shockey in 2002 with 74.
Beckham is the second Giants wide receiver to win Offensive Rookie of the Month honors. The other was Hakeem Nicks in October 2009.

Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev died in Bougival, Seine-et-Oise, France on this day in 1883 (aged 64).
"You may feed the wolf as you will; he has always a hankering for the woods."
―from A SPORTSMAN'S NOTEBOOK by Ivan Turgenev 獵人(手記)
―from A SPORTSMAN'S NOTEBOOK by Ivan Turgenev 獵人(手記)
Ivan Turgenev's first literary masterpiece is a sweeping portrayal of the magnificent nineteenth–century Russian countryside and the harsh lives of those who inhabited it. In a series of sketches, a hunter wanders through the vast landscape of steppe and forest in search of game, encountering a varied cast of peasants, landlords, bailiffs, overseers, horse traders, and merchants. He witnesses both feudal tyranny and the fatalistic submission of the tyrannized, against a backdrop of the sublime and pitiless terrain of rural Russia. These beautifully embellished, evocative stories were not only universally popular with the reading public but, through the influence they exerted on important members of the Tsarist bureaucracy, contributed to the major political event of mid–nineteenth–century Russia, the Great Emancipation of the serfs in 1861. Rarely has a book that offers such undiluted literary pleasure also been so strong a force for significant social change. With an introduction by Ivan Turgenev, this version was translated by Charles and Natasha Hepburn. READ more here:http://knopfdoubleday.com/book/180978/a-sportsmans-notebook/

Bellevue police say they are looking for a burglary suspect after a man and a woman drove through a chain-link fence and a park to elude officers yesterday.
Bellevue police say they are looking for a burglary suspect after a man and a woman drove through a chain-link fence and a park to elude officers yesterday.
The pair drove through the fence at Safegard Self Storage in the 1000 block of 164th Avenue Northeast just before noon, said Bellevue police spokesman Michael Chiu.
They then drove through Crossroads Park and onto Northeast Eighth Street before ditching the car a few blocks away at the Crossroads Post Office and running away, Chiu said.
The woman was arrested, but the man is still at large, Chiu said.
The pair are suspected of breaking into a car in north Bellevue and finding a security code for a Safegard storage unit, Chiu said. The owner of the car discovered the break-in and called Safegard to say someone might try to break into his unit.
A Safegard employee saw the pair trying to enter the storage unit and called police. As police surrounded the business, the two drove through the fence and the park to get away.
Police closed parts of Northeast Eighth and Northeast Sixth streets while they looked for the man.
A police dog was unable to find him.Eastside
Hopelink needs school-supply gifts
Hopelink is seeking donations to purchase school backpacks and supplies for children from low-income families, but contributions have been slow to come in.
Last year, Hopelink supplied 1,600 children with back-to-school supplies, and this year the need is expected to increase to nearly 1,800. So far, the nonprofit organization has received enough donations to outfit just over 1,000 children.
Hopelink is planning to hand out the supplies, ranging from highlighters and graph paper to backpacks and dictionaries, at its food-bank locations in Bellevue, Bothell, Carnation, Kirkland, Redmond and Shoreline between now and next Thursday.
Hopelink is expecting an increase in demand this year partly due to a growing trend of schools and teachers asking parents to share more costs.

Technofix - GE - 279 Flying Saucer

Technofix - Flying Saucer GE - 279
The germans were the space race far ahead when you take in mind that this flying saucer or better called: " Fliegende Untertasche " was made in 1955 !
When the first robots and spacetoys had to be born, the Germans were into space already with a stunning, awesome and fantastic flying saucer codename: GE - 279 made by Technofix.
Its the very first time that this saucer crossed my path. I had one in hand a couple of years ago and still remember the magic this saucer brought me.
The shape, colors and litho are really out of this world. The saucer is the keystone in a vintage flying saucer collection for sure !.
Again, I could dig up this one from Italy where a friend of mine spotted it and contacted me directly. I have no further background information about this saucer, a pitty because I alwas want to know the background of these beauties.
Anyway, the saucer survived time very well. Its made out of lithograhped tin with a friction motor build inside and sparks under the red gel.
The condition is excellent. There are some traces of old chewing gum underneath the toy. I did not even try to remove it, its on the bottom so not visable when the toy is on display and I dont want to risk to damage the litho... it tells a story... its a vintage toy and I will leave it to decide to remove the chewing gum to the new owner.
The friction engine is working but its not sparking anymore. complete and all original toy, seldom no SELDOM seen in the market, and I am aware of only 4 examples known to excist !
Ultra rare and scarce flying saucer, made in Western Germany in 1955... if you want the rarest of the flying saucers.. well than look NO futher ! :-)
Here it IS.......

Dee Dee Bridgewater channels great jazz singers and is a Grammy award winner. Paul Lewis is one of the most celebrated pianists of his generation and Schubert is taking his fancy at present. The Aerial Maps is one of those geographically obsessed groups who crossed the country in order to get a set of songs and prose to make up their new CD The Sunset Park. And Nat Grant is so much more than a percussionist; all of which is sonically revealed in her live set.

The recent collapse of the proposed education center in Temecula is just the latest in a series of setbacks in Mt. San Jacinto College's plans to expand.
Plans to build new campuses in Murrieta, Temecula and Wildomar failed. A bond measure last June that would have financed several new campuses was soundly defeated at the polls.
Instead, the community college has continued to grow incrementally at its two existing campuses, in Menifee and San Jacinto. The college opened a resource center at the larger Menifee campus last year, and is building a technology center next door.
All five college trustees support the concept of expansion as a means to offer more educational opportunities to a rapidly growing southwest corridor, but how they should grow is the source of great disagreement. Only three believe it's an imperative to expand outward, particularly in Southwest County.
Assessing need
Trustee Ann Motte of Perris is one of those in the minority: She favors expanding the existing campuses.
"A Temecula center is not unreasonable," Motte said. "But we need to focus on our two campuses. The San Jacinto campus is underbuilt. We could expand there (and) increase enrollment. We need to do the same thing in Menifee."
That view is not shared by the board majority -- Joan Sparkman of Murrieta, Eugene Kadow of Banning and Gwendolyn Schlange of Hemet.
"It's not a wish. It's a need," Sparkman said. "We need to offer work force development. Are we training electricians, diesel repair people? No."
Sparkman hopes the proposed Temecula Education Center will be resurrected, despite a recent collapse of the deal between the city of Temecula and the center's developer, The AGK Group. The developer recently began pitching the project to Murrieta, Lake Elsinore and the county. Temecula hasn't completely closed the door on the project, yet, either.
But if the education center -- which would create classroom and lab space for multiple colleges to share -- cannot be resurrected, then the college is out of options to expand outside of Menifee and San Jacinto for at least another year, Sparkman said.
The college's plan to build an 80-acre campus on county-owned land in Wildomar, with an emphasis on technology courses, is increasingly unlikely. In June, a Riverside Superior Court judge ruled that a county agency cannot sell open space without the support from a majority of local voters or state legislative approval.
That decision came down just two days after voters rejected a proposed $720 million bond to build facilities in Wildomar and Banning, and renovate and expand the Menifee and San Jacinto campuses.
Under state law, the college cannot float another bond until at least next year.
So much, if not all, of the board majority's hope for short-term expansion rests with a conceptual education center now looking for a home.
Concept not dead
The Temecula City Council terminated its agreement with The AGK Group to build the center March 30, after AGK failed to secure the necessary leases and financial backing to build the project.
The original plan for an education center likely won't be duplicated, Temecula officials said, but hope for a future center or some sort of campus in their city hasn't waned.
"I think the concept needs to be tweaked," said Mayor Chuck Washington, noting the council likely would hire a consultant to conduct a feasibility study.
"The will to do it exists in every council member," Councilman Mike Naggar said. "Whether it's alive remains to be seen."
If an education center were to come to Temecula, it likely would be developed by a different company, city officials said. Meanwhile, Kading has been gauging interest in the concept with officials in Lake Elsinore and Murrieta.
Murrieta would help expedite the planning process of the education center if AGK sought to relocate it there, Mayor Doug McAllister said. But the city has no available publicly owned land to put into the deal the way Temecula did, he added.
"There's been no discussion of a public-private collaboration," he said.
So that could mean the promise of an education center is limited to Temecula. But both Naggar and Washington cautioned that city government is not in the business of building such projects. And they were disappointed with the hesitancy of the area's larger state universities -- UC Riverside and Cal State San Marcos -- to sign on.
"The logical question is: Does the education community or industry have the will?" Naggar asked. "Based on the results, it appears not."
Desire to expand?
But at least for Mt. San Jacinto College, the answer to Naggar's question is a resounding yes. Sparkman said expansion into Temecula is a priority for the college board to accommodate the hundreds -- if not thousands -- of potential students moving into Southwest County each year.
"Lake Elsinore, Temecula and Murrieta need a higher education (center) closer to them," said Sparkman.
While Menifee is in the southwest corridor, the commute to that community from Temecula and western Murrieta grows longer all the time due to increasing traffic congestion, Sparkman and other college leaders said.
"We have so many students we can't get in," said Sparkman, a former trustee of the Temecula Unified School District board. "We have to offer class choices where the people are."
The community college leases 52 classrooms in the city, primarily at Chaparral High School and only at night.
"Does that tell you there's a need in this area?" Sparkman asked.
Motte, though, believes the focus of the board's majority is misplaced. The focus, Motte contends, should be on attaining all available state growth funds to build on its existing campuses.
Before the 2006-07 school year, the college failed to earn about $4.9 million in available state growth funds over the previous six school years because its enrollment numbers were too low.
"The college needs to continue to make its cap, so the school could qualify for new instructional buildings (on its existing campuses)," Motte said. "Had the cap been met, the technology building (at Menifee) would have been built sooner. … We could have grown quite a bit more by now."
Temecula's Naggar cautioned the college board from counting too heavily on the education center.
"If I was on that board, I would see what expansion opportunities existed onsite," he said, echoing Motte.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday to voice opposition to what the Israeli leader charged were Iran's attempts to establish a permanent military foothold in Syria.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Moscow on Thursday for talks expected to focus on the situation in Syria.
Greeting Netanyahu at the start of their talks, Putin emphasised the high level of trust between the two leaders.
Netanyahu hailed Russia's role in fighting the Daesh terror group and other radical militants in Syria. At the same time, he warned of the danger posed by radical Shiite groups, an apparent reference to the Hezbollah movement.
Netanyahu will also voice opposition to what Israel says are Iran's attempts to establish a permanent military foothold in Syria.
Israeli leaders have pointed to Tehran's steadily increasing influence in the region during the six-year-old Syrian conflict, whether via its own Revolutionary Guard forces or Shiite Muslim proxies, especially Hezbollah.
Majority-Shiite Iran says its troops are in Syria to defend holy Shiite shrines. However, the chief of staff of Iran's military said in November Tehran might seek to set up naval bases in Yemen or Syria in the future.
Russia has sided with Iran and Hezbollah in helping support Syrian regime leader Bashar al Assad, but at the same time it has maintained warm ties with Israel. The two nations have coordinated to prevent any possible incidents between their militaries in Syria.
Netanyahu's visit to Moscow follows his talks with US President Donald Trump last month.

My first experience with Jerry came as a 10-yearold. I was chosen to be Cupid in Mother Goose. My task was to lead Prince Charming to the fairy princess and shoot her in the heart with my magic arrow. I was onstage for all of 3 minutes, a seemingly unimportant child's role that a ballet master could no doubt teach. Robbins taught it himself as he would later teach Fancy Free and Dances at a Gathering: so that I recognized the importance, filling me with images of my character's motivation and a sense of my larger responsibility to the plot and success of the ballet. He reminded me of the dangers of twigs snapping under my clumsy foot or of rustled leaves waking the dormant princess. He instilled in me an importance of our work in the studio, his and mine, not my work for him, which is more how I would have seen it.Read More

Day 396 -- Cheyenne
It's been a while since I crossed paths with Frank. He has taken pictures of himself in front of all the state capitols. I last encountered him almost a year ago, in Indianapolis. Then I managed to miss Springfield, Des Moines, Jefferson City, and Lincoln. Perhaps I'll make it to Denver. In any case, good to see you again, Frank.
I switched my long run, which I usually do on Sunday, to today, because tomorrow promises to be nasty hot and humid. Today wasn't that much better, but I survived by taking lots of water breaks. I ran 14 miles, my longest long run in quite a while, actually. It felt really good.

MXGP 3: Scrub Gameplay
All-new gameplay footage.
These are exciting, but somewhat insanely busy, times within Milestone's headquarters in Milan. The anticipation for MXGP 3 continues to build, so their efforts to ensure the game serves as a real turning point for the series also shifts gear. That's why they're asking for something that doesn't necessarily come naturally to motorsports fans: a bit of patience. Today they have announced that MXGP3's launch date has been moved to May 30th for Europe including Australia, New Zealand, Middle East and South Africa and to June 20th for USA. That's a delay that's come about for the best of reasons.

"And this guy is head of the Health subcommittee? Why is he being taken seriously? Why isn't he being held accountable?"
In the blog, Mr Goldberg includes the following statements made by Rep Stupak a hearing, which he claims are "scientifically incorrect," "misleading" and "dangerous":
"SSRI's have not been proven effective in treating adolescent depression. To the contrary their use may actually increase the suicide rate of its young patients.
"In response to these reports of increased suicide rates with SSRI use, FDA officials suppressed their own post marketing surveillance, prohibited FDA employees from discussing the report, and launched an investigation to find the person who leaked information to the press. Today, SSRIs remain on the market without a clear medical benefit to the patient."
"There should be a black box warning around everything Stupak says regarding medicines," Mr Goldberg declares, "particularly SSRIs which have been shown to benefit patients and are associated with a decline in suicides."
Prolific smear campaigns are directed at medical experts who testify against Big Pharma in litigation or government hearings. A life-time reputation of credibility and high regard may be targeted for assassination as punishment for this capital crime. Attempts to destroy the reputation of Dr David Healy, the world-famous expert on psychopharmacology, with 20 books to his name, appear frequently on DrugWonks. For instance, on December 19, 2006, Mr Pitts wrote:
"Dr. Healy recently testified at the FDA hearing on antidepressants. He is a psychiatry professor at Cardiff University in Wales but also, according to the New York Times, has worked for plaintiff's lawyers in cases brought against pharmaceutical companies. That's transparency."
"When I served as Associate Commissioner at the FDA, Dr. Healy visited with me -- but he never mentioned that he worked for the tort bar," Mr Pitts said. "That's dishonesty."
The untold story here is that Dr Healy traveled to Washington on his own dime in 2004, for the meeting of the FDA Advisory Committee to consider the suicide risks of SSRIs. During his visit, Dr Healy and a group of people that included parents of children who committed suicide while taking SSRIs, also met with Mr Pitts and other FDA officials.
As a follow-up to the meeting, Dr Healy prepared a lengthily report with summaries of all the available suicide data on each SSRI, including his own studies, and sent copies to Mr Pitts and the other FDA officials, free of charge. Dr Healy's trip to Washington to testify at the advisory committee meeting in December 2006, was also on his own dime.
In an email, Dr Healy was asked whether he would like to respond to the above allegations by Mr Pitts on DrugWonks. In a return email, Dr Healy explained that he consults as an expert in litigation for drug companies and trial lawyers alike, and wrote:
"When I went into the FDA to meet with Peter Pitts, I made no efforts to conceal my links to trial attorneys - some of whom were at the meeting - and no efforts were made to conceal my links to the pharmaceutical industry, all of which were well known."
"I went," he said, "because in my experience Republicans such as Senator Grassley and staffers working for them such as Emilia DeSanto have appeared more concerned about and more effective on the issue than anyone else and as a Republican appointee I thought Peter Pitts' heart might be in the right place."
"What was not well-known at the time was that Peter Pitts was transiting between working for pharmaceutical companies - or perhaps not even transiting," Dr Healy wrote. "I'm not sure how many of us would have felt it worth going if we had known his background," he noted.
"Retrospectively," Dr Healy says, "it seems astonishing to me now that with people like Peter Pitts in FDA that it was ever possible to bring the suicidality issues to light."
It seems even more astonishing after reading Mr Goldberg's blog on February 15, 2008, which declares: "And again, there is no link to SSRIs and in increase in suicides, rather some unclear evidence based on an unvalidated measure called suicidality that includes just talking about self harm in general."

"BE BACK before this song ends!" The command from my wife as I took a comfort stop from dancing in the grand ballroom of Cunard's majestic ocean liner Queen Mary 2 carried hidden meaning.
By the time I had spent a penny, adjusted my bow tie and returned to our table, the orchestra had launched into a new song and my ball-gowned wife was gone, swept up in the arms of another man. At this point I roared with laughter and gave her a wink, which she returned with a glance suggesting "you'll keep".
One of the many splendid touches on the regal QM2 is the "dancing men" as we christened them - a handful of immaculately dressed, mature gentlemen on hand in the ballroom to ensure any woman wanting a dancing partner has one.
These debonair dancers are quick to ensure any woman sitting alone is courteously asked if she would care to dance - hence my normally dance-shy wife whirling around the dance floor.
However, there is nothing suggestive about these Fred Astaires. My wife played journalist to ask the hard questions while dancing to discover there are strict rules that go with the job, ranging from placement of hands on partners through to absolutely no funny business when the music stops.
For single women on the cruise these skilled dancers are a godsend when they want a whirl around the dance floor, although my wife's dancing man did confide that he had to be wary of "husband hunters".
Life in the ballroom, orchestra and all, is just part of the experience that is the QM2. Cunard's flagship, a large lady at 151,400 tonnes and 14 decks.
In an era where "15 minutes of fame" is a drawcard the ship is genuinely famous. When it returns to Australia on March 2 - calling at Cairns then Brisbane and Sydney before its first circumnavigation of New Zealand - there no doubt will be crowds at the waterfront curious for a look, despite it visiting Australia previously. It has that effect.
QM2 returns to Sydney on March 19 followed by calls at Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. For those who "but see her passing by" it will be a symbol of the grandeur of cruising, rather than just a ship or a way from port A to B.
For those onboard it will be an aristocratic way to travel, especially passengers on the sold-out, 12-night circumnavigation of New Zealand.
Cunard really does cash in on the heritage that the line's name embodies, with the QM2 rich in the nostalgia and tradition of the golden age of ocean liners.
A room key is a chance to step into an atmosphere reminiscent of when movie stars and millionaires used ships as their preferred form of travel, when glamour ruled travel - before the era of trakky dacks on planes.
The Art Deco design, the artwork and the traditions, such as daily high tea, set the tone aboard a 345m-long ship that takes several days to explore.
There are 16 restaurants and bars, including the fine-dining Todd English and a 24-hour buffet; five pools and an 1100-seat theatre to enjoy top-shelf performers.
For exercise there is a basketball court, golf simulator and gym; for the more sedentary there is the largest library at sea, boutiques selling top designer brands and even a planetarium.
While the ship is noble it is not pompous. Guests are made to feel welcome regardless of background, for while this ship does carry the rich and titled it also carries many guests eager to sample life on the regal side.
That includes abiding by the dress code. While by day it is casual, by night the code varies from formal (black tie) to semi-formal (jacket and tie for men) to elegant casual (jacket but no tie). No jeans, no shorts.
While that may not suit everyone, people tend to travel on the QM2 partly for the experience of dressing up at night and feeling a little special.
On formal nights some of the ball gowns and jewellery of the women passengers are nothing less than stunning, while the men, like me, can get away with seeing if they can squeeze into their tuxedoes.
The British heritage extends to a slight class system. Passengers who pay for the upper-class cabins have access to exclusive lounges and either the Queens Grill, Princess Grill or Britannia Club restaurants for meals.
For my money, the two-storey Britannia Restaurant, where most passengers dine in two sittings each evening, was excellent.
The Golden Lion pub proved a great place for a pint, a game of darts and karaoke; the Chart Room is ideal for jazz; the Winter Garden great for an afternoon snooze near the pianist; while a bubbly in the Champagne Bar is a perfect setting for a string quartet.
The New Zealand circumnavigation will have plenty to keep passengers busy, with calls at places such as Bay of Islands and Milford Sound.
However, for those who view the ship as the destination there is plenty of onboard entertainment during the day to keep them occupied.
Trivia quizzes, dancing lessons, guest lectures, computer courses, cards, poolside bands, spa treatments, internet cafe ...
It now includes a behind-the-scenes tour where the curious can have a peek at places such as the bridge, the galleys, the medical centre and waste recycling centre, to get an idea of the enormous logistics in play.
At night, entertainment on a ship this large includes gala performances in the theatre, plenty of music in various bars and lounges throughout the ship and, of course, events in the impressive Queens Room ballroom ranging from themed balls to big bands belting out toe-tapping tunes.
When you're dressed in black tie, it is the sort of place that turns a night out into one enchanted evening; and if you are a single woman there is a dancing man on hand to ensure you can dance the night away.
The writer was a guest of Cunard.
Queen Mary 2 returns to Australia in February-March next year for a circumnavigation that will call at eight ports.
Full circumnavigations are available from Fremantle, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, which will all enjoy two visits from the liner.
A 22-day circumnavigation from Fremantle, departing February 12, costs from $6499 a person, twin share; a 23-day circumnavigation from Melbourne, departing February 17 is priced from $6799 a person, twin share; a 23-day circumnavigation from Sydney departing February 19 is priced from $5689 a person, twin share; a 23-day circumnavigation from Brisbane departing February 21 is priced from $6799 a person, twin share.

Rep. Kind Urges Senate Republicans to Pass Responsible Relief for Alternative Minimum Tax
Without Congressional Action, the AMT Would Wrongly Capture 50,000
Middle-Class Families in Western Wisconsin, Substantially Raising Their Taxes
U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) last night joined a majority in the House in again voting to pass responsible tax relief and prevent 50,000 western Wisconsin families from being captured by the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). The bill passed today is in direct response to a Senate Republican filibuster last week of a previous House-passed bill to provide AMT relief without adding to the national debt.
"For years, Republicans have been providing tax relief' that was deficit-financed - passing the debt on to future generations," Rep. Kind says. "They're at it again with the AMT - they'd rather add to our historic deficit than make the tough choices needed to protect 50,000 western Wisconsin families from a tax increase. This sort of obstructionist behavior has real effects on families across the country - and I urge them to come to a consensus and pass a responsible, budget-neutral bill as soon as possible."
The Alternative Minimum Tax was developed in the 1970s as a way to ensure that America's wealthiest could not take advantage of the tax code in a way that would allow them to avoid paying taxes altogether. However, the AMT has never been indexed for inflation, and without this legislation, it would reach into the pocketbooks of millions of middle-class families it was never intended to hit.
H.R. 4351 prevents the AMT from affecting 50,000 additional western Wisconsin families (23 million nationally) this year, many of whom have no idea they could face a tax increase. Wisconsin is one of the states that would be most greatly affected by the AMT, ranking 6th out of 50 in the number of new taxpayers (437,000) that would be captured without a fix.
Most importantly, the bill is fiscally responsible. It follows pay-as-you-go rules; the AMT patch is fully paid for by closing tax loopholes and eliminating narrowly-targeted tax breaks for corporations.
"The AMT fix must be paid-for," Rep. Kind added. "The difference is that Democrats want to pay for it now, and Republicans want to pass the cost on to our children and grandchildren."
