Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned or a wedding planner named Samantha Goldberg getting a bad review on Wedding Wire. Samantha Goldberg keeps banging the drum against Wedding Wire and their system of ratings and reviews, rallying a growing number of discontented wedding vendors that feel her frustration.
Samantha Goldberg evened the score after being dismissed by Wedding Wire last year. Goldberg gets Sonny Ganguly to issue a statement in response to growing pressure she's inflicting with her relentless exposure of flaws in the Wedding Wire system.
Her latest battle that began in 2011 has forced a statement from Sonny Ganguly who has continually skirted requests to say something– anything– about the matter. Ganguly replied to the mounting pressure surrounding a scammed customer that used a vendor on Wedding Wire.
"Thanks for sharing your concerns about this particular vendor. Let me address a couple points:
First, I want to be 100% clear on WeddingWire's reviews policy: WeddingWire pulls down a review only if it violates our Review Policy, which can be found here www.weddingwire.com/shared/TermsOfUse in Section 13 and 14. Whether a vendor is paying or not has zero impact on this policy. Period.
Second, WeddingWire was created to help engaged couples make better, more informed decisions. That is why we have the reviews system itself, and why both positive and negative reviews are essential to helping engaged couples. And that is why we have left this account up on our site, so that these negative experiences can inform future brides and grooms.
Third, with regard to details on this particular vendor, she had a total of 10 reviews on our site. Eight reviews were flagged due to them being fraudulent; two were automatically removed by our system, and the other six were removed over 2 months ago as they were written from her computer (based on tracking IP address). There are currently 2 negative reviews remaining in the account, which are both from real newlyweds: EW Corp Reviews
It is our goal to provide a neutral platform for newlyweds to share their experiences. We take fraudulent behavior very seriously and have the algorithms and mechanisms in place to react quickly. I hope this addresses your questions.
Ganguly issued the statement after Goldberg went public with the story after months of back and forth pleading with Ganguly to consider revising the way Wedding Wire treats its vendors. Goldberg accuses the website of giving preferential treatment to paid listings and ignoring free ones.
But the statement did little more than piqué the interest of other Wedding Water Cooler members also included in the exchanges between Goldberg and Ganguly, raising more questions.
David Fuhrer, who blew the whistle on all wedding websites in 2010, questions Ganguly about the Wedding Wire practices:
"Out of curiosity & in the absolute interest of WW's integrity & your assumed goal of transparency, allow me to pose the following inquiries for the enlightenment of all. In the interest of "your time" the most suitable means of response would most probably be to directly respond to each point (e.g. A, B, C). This will also allow for any vagueness to be alleviated as you will be responding to a direct inquiry of "how" WW performs these aspects for engaging the vendors who populate WW directories.
A) Does WW inform every vendor appearing upon the WW family of websites that they are indeed "listed" & are thus subject to reviews, be them positive or negative? These vendors are also subject to WW's terms & conditions & the 100% litmus that WW must apply to all polices including the reviews, correct? By what means can a vendor "opt out"?
B) How does this communication with the Vendor occur? It isn't a sales call, correct? You understand that a vendor could ignore a sales call. I'm certain given your "100% policies" that some form of e-mail confirmation that a vendor is being displayed is sent to a vendor, correct? The vendor then responds "okay" & that is their means of "opting in", correct? Please provide a copy of that WW vendor verification email to this group.
C) Utilizing the "02420″ zip code & selecting Wedding Venues "near" that zip-code the WW "results" equate to 37 pages. The 1st page inclusive of the 2 "spotlight" listings possess an additional 22 "featured" listings for a total of 24 listings. The 2nd & 3rd pages include the 2 "spotlight" listings & have an additional 20 listings inclusive of photos, but not a "featured" connotation. The 4th page has the 2 "spotlight" listings and 7 more listings inclusive of photos. Thus in the first 4 pages of this specific search criteria 71 listings appear inclusive of photos (2 spotlight + 22 featured + 47 just photos). I assume these are all paying clients who have "opted in", yes or no or "maybe"?
D) Picking up from page 4, an additional 13 listings appear inclusive of no photos, the name of the vendor, the town the vendor is located, a pinpoint for the vendor upon the Google map, and stars & reviews for that vendor. Pages 5-37 are inclusive of vendors denoted in the same format as referenced above & each page has 20 listed with page 37 having 3 listings. Thus the "non-photo" reviewed/ vendors for this specific search criteria equate to 143. The total non-photo reviewed vendors equals 156. The total vendors listed for this search criteria are 224.
E) Are all of the 156 non-photo reviewed/vendors aware they are on WW and subject to WW's policies for reviews? Have these 156 vendors agreed to "opt in" to WW's terms & conditions? Are these 156 vendors paying WW clients? If they are non-paying, how do they "opt out" of WW. I am assuming your 100% clarity on WW policies comment, that all of these 156 vendors have received a written notification that they are listed upon WW & subject to WW's review policy, correct? (i.e. the email that I referenced which WW sends and requested that you copy this group upon…lets term it the "universal" WW opt-in subject to WW reviews & policies email…The group looks forward to your sharing it with us).
F) Just as an aside, how does WW's radius search work? Some of the listings were for locations just short of 200 miles from the preferred "02420″ search criteria?
Thanks in advance for the copy of the WW email to vendors who have not "opted in", and your responses to the above inquiries."
Fuhrer and others in the Wedding Water Cooler say the Wedding Wire system is flawed; some even say that in an extreme case like this, where there is financial loss, Wedding Wire acts as a conduit between the customer and listed vendor, becoming culpable in the act of allowing the theft to happen. As a result, some are calling for Wedding Wire to compensate the bride (s) for any incurred losses.
Vendors reading the coverage give their opinions of why the give no relevance to wedding websites and rating systems. In various eWedNewz channels followers of the story are starting to speak out, including Justin Willison
"This is why I take no stock in review sites. 1 of 1000 happy customers leave a good review. 900 out of a 1000 unhappy people leave a review. Google local bridal shops. 90% of them have 2.5 stars out of 5 or less. All bridal shops are bad? I think not. I get 2-3 bad reviews a year. And 2-3 good ones a year. Out of 500+ wedding parties per year.
I know from the hundreds of thank you cards and gifts (even wedding invites) we get that 99.8% are happy. But google rates us about 80-85%.. if one in 5 people were unhappy we'd be bankrupt years ago. These sites are a joke and most offer paying vendors the abilty to remove bad ones. Most of the bad ones are lies anyway. Unreasonable people with unreasonable expectations. Im not saying this person wasnt scammed. Im juat saying what service does a review site provide?
It's not an accurate portrayal of customer opinions because it is such a small group and people that are happy have no reason to review.
We have a pretty good rep… but we work hard for it.. we go the extra mile. when we make mistakes we lose money. we lose future customers, we lose referrals. believe me referrals are key. almost 50% of our business (200+ wedding parties of 425) this year is prior customers or referrals coming back. but if you google bridal shops near us.. most have bad reviews 1 star or 2 star out of 5. I know a lot of these shops owners personally. they are nice people and have well trained staff but people don't care about others livelihood.
A lot of reviews come from buyers remorse, they feel bad from the money they spent, and want to take it out on someone after the fact. It seems as if the ones spending the least are expecting the most. A lot of times they want FREE alterations or to return things after the wedding. I've even got a bad review from a person mad I wouldn't buy back her $800 dress for $500 (I could buy a new one for $400) Look on google at bridal shops near you. what do you see?
I often wonder how much stock do you take in reviews Paul Pannone? Google your favorite place, restaurant, theatre, store, Etc. look at the bad review… does it seem like something that would happen there? or does it seem like a person being petty? then look at a place you've never been to… skip the good ones and read that place's bad review.. now how do you feel? If you feel different about the place you have been to than you do about the one you've never been to.. you'll see my point. REVIEW SITES OFFER NOTHING to the business. do they offer a disservice to the customers? I THINK SO."
I responded to Justin's question saying, "Like all information reviews are a guide on the way to making a decision. They should be taken as such if they come from total strangers. Family, friend referrals or caution not to use a particular vendor rates higher than some website. Common sense applies."

For Very safe; sliding doors handy in tight spaces
Against Depreciates fast, firm ride, not much space
It's definitely out of the ordinary, but the sliding doors demand too many sacrifices
Go for… 1.4 8v Dolce
Avoid… 1.6 Sport
Many cars in the supermini market are very similar in look and ability. That can't be said of the Peugeot 1007. It uses MPV-style electric sliding doors to make it easier to get in and out, especially in tight parking spaces. It's an attractive gimmick, but in reality, while it does help in a tight spot, access to the rear is actually harder than in five-door rivals.
The other problem is weight. The 1007 is extremely heavy, and this means performance suffers. To make matters worse, the suspension is stiff-ish to stop the hefty car wallowing in corners, and that makes the ride too choppy over rough surfaces.
Cabin space is pretty good, but other competitors provide much more. Some of the materials used look a bit cheap, but they should be durable.
All versions get air-con and a CD player, and safety is well catered for, as proved by a five-star Euro NCAP score.
Martin KeighleyOdd looking tall hatchback. Loses about half its value in 12 months
We'd recommend the entry-level engine, which is an eight-valve 1.4. With only 75bhp in a car as abnormally heavy as the 1007, it's desperately slow and needs to be worked hard. However, it's the cheapest way into a 1007.
There's also a 16-valve version of the 1.4, giving 90bhp, but performance is almost as pedestrian. The 1.6 has more power and copes better with the car's bulk, but it still needs to be worked hard. Besides, it also gets a horrible semi-automatic gearbox as standard (it's optional on the smaller engine), which gives notchy gearchanges. The 1.4 diesel also gives pretty lacklustre performance, but at least you get good fuel economy and a proper manual gearbox.
Dolce trim, the most basic, provides you all you need, with air-con, remote central locking, curtain airbags, traction and stability controls, a CD player and electric front windows. Sport trim adds climate control and alloy wheels, but this isn't worth the extra.
James RuppertQuirky, but has some appeal if priced right, 1.4 Dolce best for retail
The 1007 is pricey in comparison to other superminis, and the only consolation is that you get a lot of kit for your cash. Used examples are likely to have shed a good chunk of their value because residuals are fairly weak from new, but buying a 1007 will still cost you.
On the plus side, servicing costs are pretty cheap. In fact, you'll pay less than you will for the Peugeot's smaller city car, the 107.
Fuel economy isn't too bad, either. The 1.6 fares worst, but it still returns a respectable 42.8mpg. The diesel, meanwhile, will return 60.1mpg, and that's not bad considering the weight of the car. Our recommended engine, the eight-valve 1.4, will give 43.5mpg.
Insurance costs are about par for the class. The entry-level petrol engine and the diesel sit in group 3, while the 16-valve 1.4 commands a group 4 premium and the 1.6 group 5.
Martin KeighleyOdd looking tall hatchback. Loses about half its value in 12 months
The 1007 only hit the new car market in April 2005, so there isn't yet enough data to give an accurate assessment of what faults and problems may or may not occur.
We can make some educated guesses, though. Peugeot usually achieves mid-table respectability in our reliability surveys, so while there will be more solid cars out there, many will be far less so.
However, we've seen a trend for electrical gremlins in small Peugeots in the past – the electric folding roof of the Peugeot 206CC being one example. If the electric sliding doors on your 1007 develop a similar fault, it will probably be fixed under the car's remaining warranty, but it will be a pain. If your car has no warranty, it'll be expensive, too. Franchised Peugeot dealers charge fairly steep hourly labour rates, so long repairs have the potential to be quite expensive.

Andrew Bynum Grows Up; Dwight Howard Blows Up
You can always tell when one of your boys got some the night before. He comes strolling into the apartment kitchen doing his best to conceal a smile, pours himself a big ol' glass of water, leans back in a chair with everyone else staring and just starts chuckling. But damn, the way Andrew Bynum was cheesing last night after his hook shot in the lane helped knockout the Celtics, you would've thought he smashed Lauren London. He was hyped. And he should've been. Kobe Bryant, who scored 26 and hit a go-ahead pull-up in the final minute to help quiet the growing mass attached to the "Kobe ain't clutch" bandwagon, overturned another play to tell everyone they should go inside to the Big Knee Injury.

Canadian composer/pianist/bassist Don Thompson's heartfelt "Lament for John Coltrane," with its gentle modal vamp, provides an ideal setting for Bartz' exploratory alto sax, much in the spirit of the man who so profoundly influenced him. The Coltrane connection is also evidenced with the inclusion of "I Wish I Knew," which was given a most beautiful interpretation on the incomparably saxophonist's gorgeous "Ballads" album.
Here, the somewhat neglected Harry Warren/Mack Gordon tune is given a delightfully swinging treatment, showcasing Jay's fine scat-singing as well as Bartz' sinuous soprano and Cables' tasteful piano.
Cables also contributes "I Told You So," a buoyant samba that opens with Jay's percussive vocalizing, enhanced by a subtle use of digital delay, a process used very briefly, but to great effect on her own "Random Mondays," which like her other composition, "Let It Go," utilizes the poetry of the immortal e.e. cummings.
These two pieces are combined with two other works – the former with a collective improvisation with Granelli and Cox entitled "Three Free;" and the latter with Granelli's "Raga," a free-time sound collage – not so much as medley, but rather as two-movement "suites," blending perfectly amidst the group's synergy.
With "Brooklyn 2000," Jay Clayton takes another step forward on her most expressive and personal musical journey.

How To: Fix the 9780/9700 Keypad Stutter (with pics)
After seeing the tons of threads regarding how to solve the keypad stutter on 9780's and worn down 9700's, I decided to do this write up. Ive done it about 4 times on my 9700, each time getting better at it. Done properly, it will COMPLETELY stop all keypad stuttering or at least improve it to barely any at all. The stuttering issue is either caused by misaligned membranes (manufacturing errors), normal wear (the "domes" begin to flatten over time) or just plain bad or dirty metal contacts.
Keep in mind, the following will void your warranty. For people who cannot get a replacement device or are out of warranty, this is for you. Do not attempt unless you are confident in repairing the phone or are familiar with this.
For this, you will need....
1.) Torx T5 screwdriver
2.) A plastic separating tool
3.) Razor Blade
4.) New PCB Keypad membranes - Blackberry Bold 9700 Keyboard Membrane 2 pcs
The needed tools can also be purchased on the above website as well (i prefer dealsishop as they are US based).
A video of the disassembly can be seen here -
Once you get the carrier logo piece, outer bezel and keyboard removed, just remove the two more screws circled in red in the below pic. Now you are ready for the membrane replacement.
1.) Find a corner of the membrane you can begin peeling away at. Use a razor blade to carefully separate the membrane from the other white membrane thats stuck to the circuit board.
2.) Carefully start peeling back evenly from one corner. If you start to pull up some of the other membrane, STOP and use the razor to unstick it, and replace it back onto the circuit board.
3.) Continue peeling evenly until the whole membrane is removed. You will now see the exposed circuit board side of the membrane metal tabs. If they are dirty, maybe clean them with alcohol and a cotton swab or pencil eraser if needed. I chose not to.
4.) Peel a new membrane off the sheet of new ones. Carefully hold it with both hands. I find that by holding it in the lower corners (where the "alt" and "enter" keys are, is easiest.
5.) Start by lining up the membrane where it goes around the trackpad near the LCD. Its VERY important that the membrane is properly aligned. You can see circled in blue in the pic, where i didnt line it up well. This caused more stuttering problems. Try not to have any of it be off from where the membrane on the phone is. Carefully apply the rest of it to the phone (its kind of like lining up and putting on a ZAGG Shield or other similar screen protector).
6.) Once the membrane is applied and you verify its alignment, use a pencil eraser to press it firmly into place and get all creases out. At this point, you can test its functionality if you want to boot the phone up and place the keypad over it.
7.) Now that things are working normal again, drive those two small screws back in from earlier. Make sure you dont make them too tight, they will spin, crease or tear the membrane once they are driven far down. Use the plastic separator tool to ensure the membrane is flush up under the LCD. There are two little tabs on the LCD it may get hung up on.
8.) Put the keypad back on and then reassemble the phone.
9.) Fully test functionality.
At this point, as long as everything was aligned properly, your phone shouldnt "stutter" anymore or at least less. But as I stated, it all depends on how well you aligned everything. Its a 15 minute fix, and membranes are $5.99 a pair. I always keep a couple in case my 9700 or 9780 begin to show signs of wear.Last edited by dictoresno; 05-21-2011 at 04:22 AM.

Wow, great post! Really wished I read it before ripping the other membrane off, which I realize just now I see your picture of it.. So all this time I never had a clue I already messed up the other membrane.
Do u know if I need to buy myself a new blackberry or if there is still a chance to fix mine?
Thanks. - 06-07-2011, 03:53 PM #4
Excellent post will sure help many people and stop some of the key stutter threads

My problem has been solved here in Philippines. We have a mall here called "Greenhills". The most famous "cell phone buy and sell" mall. I just told the repairman that my keyboard is stuttering. He gave me a price of 6USD = 280PHP. He did it in front of me. As far as I remember. He lifted the keytune(white sticker) and wiped the "brown thing" under the keytune with "LACQUER FLO"(small amount). He did it with cotton buds. I don't know if this solution will last for long but my keyboard ain't stuttering since a while ago. My opinion and theory is the "Lacquer Flo" wiped the sticky residue which is the cause of "stuttering". I tested typing a paragraph in memo pad = 0 stutter. Sorry for imperfect english. Just tryin to give you ideas as well as solution. My advice is don't take the risk of doing it by yourself. Go to someone with experience of repairing.

I have done a few of these repairs in my shop. I'd like to add some suggestions to the post...
On the parts/materials list, I would add a can of compressed air and a can of contact cleaner. I like to fully disassemble the device and blow the other crud out from in between the middle housing and mainboard while I have the phone apart. Its only two more T5 screws to remove. While that's apart, I would also suggest popping off the trackpad (connector is under the mainboard). Doing gets the trackpad out of the way while lining up the membrane.
Take some pf the contact l\cleaner on a small piece of cloth and wipe down the circuit board and contacts after removing the old membrane. Blow it dry with the canned air.
The best way to line up the membrane while aligning the membrane to the board is to get some large paper clips and then bend them so that they poke upward through the board. I bend them in a way that they are flat on a table and poking upward with the mainboard laying on top of them. I use 4 clips and tape them to the table, making a temporary improvised "fixture" to line the membrane up. After the clips are all poking upward, lower the membrane onto the clips and them downward onto the board. They line up perfectly every time. - 06-24-2011, 01:23 AM #14
Would someone who normally replaces BlackBerry housings & keyboards usually would be able to do this as well? If not, I'll show the person I'm looking to get a 9780 housing replaced anyway this thread & see if he can do this job as well.

This Works!
I just completed this fix after a couple of months of frustration.
The keyboard has a different feel (smoother, less "click" noise) and no stutter.
I used this membrane BLACKBERRY PEARL 9700 KEYPAD KEY PCB MEMBRANE-STICKE
I used this contact cleaner/de-oxidizer DeoxIT D100L AND DeoxIT GOLD G100L 4Sevens.Com
Got these links from another thread.
Thanks for the help and the posts!

Whew so after a few hours being careful i finally applied this fix...just want to say a big thanks to the you guys for this fix gonna watch it and see if it starts to stutter anytime soon......i used 4 tooth picks to line it up perfectly......

Success. Thanks OP. First time I ever disassembled my phone, boy was it scary taking the bezel off. I didn't have that plastic tool, but a plastic guitar pick saved me, lol.
I didn't even buy the new membrane. I just peeled off the existing one, cleaned the contacts with an erase, compressed air, rubbing alcohol, compressed air and then I reapplied the mangled membrane (made a mess of it taking it off)
To my surprise, it worked. I don't think I even needed to clean the contacts, I think the double key issue is due to misalignment. Just peeling it off and putting it back is a good idea.
Hopefully this fix is permanent. - 08-14-2011, 06:21 PM #22
My 9700 was really bad, some keys double clicked, some tripled and others didn't work at all. I've replaced the membrane twice and it fixed the problem temporarly. Well last night my phone fell out of my pocket onto the driveway and was lying out in the rain for a couple minuutes and as you can see from this post, somehow thhe water must hae fixed the problem.

So those of you who dismantled your 9780 and realigned or replaced the membrane, is this a permanent fix? How did an upgrade to OS .650 go? Did it make any difference?

Would you ride 16 kms for someone in need?
The Canberra motorcycle community support for the Motorcycle Riders Association Annual Blanket Run supporting the Salvation Army has been fantastic, and after 31 years we are proud to announce that we have outgrown Garema Place!
So we are moving our destination for presentations to a wonderful location where we can continue to grow and accommodate the 600+ motorcycles that participate in our Blanket Run, to Kings Park near the National Carillon.
As usual, there will be coffee brewing and bacon and egg rolls from 8.30am at Old Parliament House, on Saturday 12 May. "Form up" is at 10.00am, and we will leave Old Parliament House and ride along Adelaide Avenue to the roundabout at Phillip and back along Adelaide Ave to the exit that takes us onto State Circle. From there we travel to Kings Ave and across the bridge, turning left into the National Carillon.
A distance of 16 kms.
The MRA would like to thank the Australian Federal Police for their support on the day.
There will be a coffee and food van located in the grounds of Kings Park.
Bring new warm blankets, cash, and non-perishable foods.
Gather your friends and come and join in, and help the Salvation Army in supporting the Canberra community.
Every little bit helps.

They say I'm fake because I use tanning lotions, eyelash and hair extensions and, worst of all, because I have a great pair of implants.

Is there a way to increase the difficulty in becoming a celebrity? I'm currently playing a klepto sim (I'm doing the King Klepto challenge by MrAlex, which can be found here: http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=344616), and the Altos were my first victims. I decided to impress them so I could ask to stay the night, so as to make my swiping a bit easier. As soon as I had impressed one of them, I was a level one celebrity. :wtf: I hate how easy it is to become a celeb. Is there any way to change that?

Bit quiet on the posting front this week – mainly due to my traveling around Asia for the second leg of the "24 hours of Flickr"/International promotion tour.
I'm trying to keep photos up to date on Flickr – the Collection will give you a good overview of the weird and wonderful experiences we're having out here.
In the past week, I've…
- …attended 2 Flickr launch parties.
- …given a talk to Korean developers.
- …luxuriated in the second best hotel room I've ever stayed in.
- …been to a Crazy Bar.
- …visited to the Korean DMZ
- …frequented a bar where all the waiters are dwarves… with a guy who's dwarf-phobic.
- …eaten Balut.
A quick bit of site update news – I've added a Talks page in the uber-optimistic hope that I'll be giving more presentations on Flickr, Internationalisation and related topics in the near future. For now, it just contains one set of slides from the Korean talk, notable for the fact that the lovely folks at Yahoo! Korea translated all the text into Korean, to make things easier for those developers who didn't have perfect English.
The talks page is here:
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to fly to Kuala Lumpur…

Quotation added by staff
Look you, Doubloon, your zodiac here is the life of man in one round chapter. To begin: there's Aries, or the Ram -- lecherous dog, he begets us; then, Taurus, or the Bull -- he bumps us the first thing; then Gemini, or the Twins -- that is, Virtue and Vice; we try to reach Virtue, when lo! comes Cancer the Crab, and drags us back; and here, going from Virtue, Leo, a roaring Lion, lies in the path -- he gives a few fierce bites and surly dabs with his paw; we escape, and hail Virgo, the virgin! that's our first love; we marry and think to be happy for aye, when pop comes Libra, or the Scales -- happiness weighed and found wanting; and while we are very sad about that, Lord! how we suddenly jump, as Scorpio, or the Scorpion, stings us in rear; we are curing the wound, when come the arrows all round; Sagittarius, or the Archer, is amusing himself. As we pluck out the shafts, stand aside! here's the battering-ram, Capricornus, or the Goat; full tilt, he comes rushing, and headlong we are tossed; when Aquarius, or the Waterbearer, pours out his whole deluge and drowns us; and, to wind up, with Pisces, or the Fishes, we sleep.Melville, Herman

The number of California high school students scoring well enough on Advanced Placement exams to earn college credit continued to rise last year, along with the number of students taking AP exams. The number of SAT test takers in California also increased, but average scores dropped slightly, new state data show.
Use this database to see how your local school or alma mater performed on these tests during the 2011 school year. Updated September 26 with 2011 scores.
AP exams give bright high school students the chance to earn college credit. The tests are scored from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). A minimum score of 3 is generally required to earn college credit. The SAT measures student knowledge of mathematics, critical reading and writing. The maximum score is 2400.
Source: California Department of Education
Notes: Only includes schools with more than 50 11th- and 12th-graders last year. In summary charts for AP tests, the "percent earning college credit" represents the percentage of test scores of three or higher. One student can take multiple AP tests.

Texas Tonka's Migration To LED Saves Money … And The Environment
July 2012 Integrated Solutions For Retailers
By Bob Johns, associate editor
This multilocation liquor retailer revamped its lighting by converting from fluorescent to new LED lighting.
As margins decrease and retailers look to protect the bottom line, an added benefit has arisen from cost-saving measures — protecting the environment. This is occurring as companies seek new energy management solutions and move to eco-friendly options to save on energy costs. One such example is Texas Tonka. The company has been selling beer, wine, and spirits in Minnesota for 14 years and had never really considered revamping its store lighting. This changed when the owner, DJ Sikka, decided it was time to upgrade the store.

If you are looking for real estate in Chestnut Hill, it's important to first decide whether the choice of municipality is a factor. For example, if you want to send your kids to Brookline schools, you will have to make sure the property is located within the Brookline section of Chestnut Hill. Other than schools, both Brookline and the City of Boston have residential tax exemptions, while no such exemption exists in Newton.

The rand was weaker at midday with traders awaiting news from the 19th European Union summit starting tonight.
"The rand is being held hostage by the euro' with the euro dropping quite a bit'" a local trader said.
At 12:15 the rand was bid at R8.4330 to the dollar from its previous close of R8.4278. It was bid at R10.4807 to the euro from its previous close of R10.5137 and at R13.1001 against sterling from R13.1253 before.
The euro was bid at US$1.2426 from its previous close of $1.2473.
Rand Merchant Bank said in a note the bias remained for slow rand gains and trade today would remain constrained because of the EU summit.
"Germany takes on France' Spain and Italy in today's Euro 19 summit. But expectations are so low that the only possibility is for a positive surprise. Any goals' own or otherwise' are likely to come only in tomorrow's second half'" the bank said.
Standard Bank said with the EU summit upon us' markets seemed torn between hoping for a positive outcome from the summit and expecting nothing concrete to emerge' as seen from so many other summits.
Bonds firm despite softer rand, bad auction
South African bonds were firmer in midday trade on Thursday despite a softer rand and a bad switch auction.
At 12:01, the benchmark R157 bond was trading at 5.990 percent from Wednesday's close of 6.010 percent and Tuesday's close of 6.060 percent. The R207 was bid at 7.160 percent and offered at 7.140 percent from a previous close of 7.170 percent and the R186 was trading at 7.980 percent from its previous close of 8.010 percent.
The rand was bid at R8.4466 against the dollar from this morning's best level of R8.3750 and Wednesday's close of R8.4278.

Join us at the Fort Meade hearings to stand with Brad
Alleged WikiLeaks whistle-blower PFC Bradley Manning is back in court soon for his next pre-trial motion hearing. We encourage everyone to attend! The next scheduled court dates are:
- 21-23 May 2013: How to deal with classified information during trial (either substituting or redacting documents or closing portions of the trial to the press and public). This is the last scheduled pre-trial hearing.
- 1 June 2013: Mass Demonstration for Bradley. Gather at 1pm in front of the Fort Meade Main Gate at Reece Road and US 175 (Google map).
- 3 June 2013: Court Martial Start, expected to run through 2 August 2013. Join us for a 7:30am vigil outside the Main Gate before going into court.
On the first day of each hearing, we hold a vigil from 7:30 am to 9:00 am in front of the Fort Meade Main Gate at Reece Road and US 175 (Google map). Afterwards, we enter Fort Meade (via the Visitor Control Center), and go to the courtroom. E-mail [email protected] for vigil updates
It has been over two years since his arrest, and the government is continuing to delay and extend the trial timeline. Help us show Bradley we care by filling the court room!
To enter Fort Meade, bring a government issued ID, such as a state issued drivers license or passport. Non-US passports are accepted. Be prepared to remove any shirts or buttons that show support for Bradley Manning while on base.
If you are driving onto Fort Meade, make sure to:
- Have your up-to-date vehicle registration
- Have your up-to-date vehicle insurance (printed copy–not a electronic version on your mobile phone)
- Obey posted speed limits (they are strictly enforced by military police–especially for "special visitors")
- Be prepared to cover "political" bumper stickers on your vehicle with tape
Unlike most trials, the government is refusing to release any official transcripts of the trials. It is up to the public to attend, and comment on, what happens inside the otherwise secretive court room. Thank you for your support and please join us at Fort Meade!
Getting there:
From Washington, D.C.
- Take MD-295 NORTH towards BALTIMORE to US 175 EAST. Take 175 EAST until you come to the Reece Road intersection (there is a traffic light). Turn right at the traffic light onto Reece road, and proceed to the Visitor Control Center to your right.
From Baltimore, M.D.
- Take MD-295 SOUTH towards WASHINGTON DC to US 175 EAST. Take 175 EAST until you come to the Reece Road intersection (there is a traffic light). Turn right at the traffic light onto Reece road, and proceed to the Visitor Control Center to your right.
Visitor Control Center
- Fort Meade is a 'closed' post, all visitors should go to the Visitor Control Center at the Reece Road gate for access information. This information may change from day to day. There is a parking lot outside of the Visitor Control Center.
- After entering Fort Meade at Reece Road, drive or walk to the Magistrate Court, 4432 Llewellyn Avenue, Fort Meade, MD. It is 2 miles from the Visitor Control Center. There is usually parking available near the courtroom. There are no electronic devices allowed through the security check to enter the courtroom–you must leave your mobile phone in your vehicle (or someone's vehicle).
If you have any questions about attending the court room proceedings, and the vigil please contact [email protected]

Here's the link to Greenbelt Park for people who want to camp out during Bradley's motion hearings. It's halfway between DC and Fort Meade, about 12 miles from the courthouse. The tent sites aren't large but it's pleasant and wooded. It's a popular tourist campground, so you might want to call ahead to check for site availability in case there's a big event going on downtown. They allow up to three tents per site and two cars. Fees are $16/night per site for tents or RVs.
Manning's case should not be tried in a military court, because the charges are political. Only clearly non-political charges should be under UCMJ. The law has to be changed to require cases of espionage, etc., to be tried in federal district court.
Although I support PFC Bradley's decision to expose the abuse of power,he should have done it through the proper channels.
PFC Manning attempted to go through proper channels, but was rebuffed.
Who was he suppose to go through ? The power elites that covered up all these war crimes ? I suggest you read Kill Everything That Moves by NIck Turse ! These Imperial wars are all the same !
Can you provide me with the name address and phone of Bradley Mannings Def team and The way I may write to him? II provided extensive intel info in the during the IRAQ war from my PARK FOREST IL home and I used a tremedous amount of info provided by Bradley from researching the war all over the web and keeping first hand notes and contact with soliders in IRAQ about what was occuring IN IRAQ. Many other countries also participated. I was wondering if Brad knows me and or could use some other kind of support to outline where the info came from and how it was used. I gave mine back directly to the US Military and cant see where that the exchange of data was of any harm elsewhere.. other than I was badly hacked by alquaida and the FBI locally did nothing to stop that..
Who should really be on trial here Cheney bush? Don't condem hero's
It is a sad world!? Exactly; killers and criminals prosecuting t/o/ill death: good, honest, brave people?!?!?!
I feel these excuses for his extreme solitary confinement are a direct unlawful abuse of the justice system. Most people could not handle a day or two in solitary confinement, let alone what a year? An outrage. Civil disobedience is not terrorism, omg, it's peaceful assembly in the name of questioning the laws there to protect normal citizens from injustice and harm. If people cannot protest their government, we may as well fail as a democracy. We may as well fail as a country. Take my words seriously, we may as well not be here at all. I am appalled, deeply saddened, disgusted. It shouldn't have to be an issue, he should never have been charged this way in the first place, and now that they have failed to uphold his rights they have failed the system and of course the charges should be dropped! If not, who are the terrorists? Really. I try to stay clear from politics but this is just too awful not to speak up for. Freedom of speech and the press are at stake.
There is no accounting for the persons who arrest and imprison persons without clearly understanding what has happened. The military laws are different ,but if you think about it the US military uses defenses of isolation, psych manipulation , harrasment on citizens so its probably worse for the persons in the military and when its TIME TO GIVE a statement .. nobodys around and will recontact you.
HAve you ever tried to deal with the pentagon? They are very difficult.
Persons need to speak out and help Bradley with his defense costs. .you are INNOCENT Til PROVEN guilty .. the USA treats everyone OPPOSITE of what the laws intend. Pam Toll PARK FOREST IL -
Bradley Manning is a traitor to the Uniform and to his Country. His disclosures were illegal and he knew as much while he was doing it.
It figures the Hippies and OWS Liberals are supporting his release, they hate the Military and this country…
I hope Manning ROTS in LEAVENWORTH for the remainder of his days…
Mark your a serious retard he was obligated to report warcrimes which he did to his commanding officer and they told him to shut up about it.Your obligated to report warcrimes I know I've been in the military.You want to talk about illegal,WARCRIMES ARE ILLEGAL,and let us not forget about the ILLEGAL GOVERNMENT DEALINGS WITH OTHER COUNTRIES.You don't support the military for doing the wrong things like warcrimes,you support them for doing the right things.Governments shouldn't make illegal dealings and torture people.You we want him out cause we hate this country,your full of shit.We want him out because he remembered his oath like I do,protect the people.We want him out because he did the right thing.Read Bradley's chat logs he loves this country and the people and that's why he did it.We want him out because he did this for us and he did it for your friends and family to.
Did you just call someone a retard?
Out of all of the awesome things he just said that's the thing you chose to focus and comment on?
I understand that certain people presume Bradley Manning guilty however you are innocent til proven guilty. Why does the US put so much into Scapegoating their own when they do almost nothing to STOP An active terror cell in the park forest il area that is generated by illegal use of satiellite remote computers of a military grade used by PRIVATE BLACK MUSLIMS and mob. that was reported and nothing was done to stop them? They were purchased by a Saudi Sheik to have inappropriate persons hack and monitor me, a 9-11 witness. YET i report this is the source of the leaks and NO ONE DOES SHIT..cause the BLACKS claim discrimination and everyone is so politically correct to the point of a terror cell running away. NO ONE DOES ANYTHING TO STOP IT. I know those leaks and they are FROM PARK FOREST IL For the last 7 and half years and reported over 23 times to FBI MILITARY CIA AND THE POLICE ..

Hi, can't be there, I live 4000 miles away, but I wanted to say thank-you to everyone who will be there, and if it's alright by you guys I'll consider that one of you is there on my behalf showing my support as well as yours. This is a terrible, totally politically motivated detention that goes against every moral and legal definition. I hope that Bradley knows, when he gets to court, that he sits there with thousands of others sat beside him.
I personally don't think there exists any evidence to even remotely suggest Manning is guilty. People should not adopt a posture which even suggests he is. I agree that there is nothing wrong with the release of such documents, it's just that I'm very unconvinced that Manning did in fact do what he has been accused. That simple!
This is my post about the 'hearing' on the 8th. -TY so much to all the BMSN!- http://denicacassandra.tumblr.com/post/35506292787/my-bradley-manning-speedy-trial-hearing-experience
FreeBRAD! <3 <3 <3
Our politicians are encouraged to go to war to stay in office. The public's right to know the truth of that bloody and dirty scene and the change the military machinations stamps on young teenage minds is vital to informed public decisions. Democracy, the will of the masses without sound facts to base those decisions is a sham.
Who decided the truth be told?
We do not know.What intention did the party have?
A young gay man sits still tortured by his jailers and accusers. A strong character and brave. He sits surrounded by beurocracy and trained assassins those he thought friends though perfidious perhaps and yet he has remained dignified and respectful.We need more Bradley Mannings.
Does anyone know what exactly will happen between feb 26 and march 1? It would be quite a drive for me, is there any day that is more important for supporters to be there? Also, any suggestions on accommodation?
I support Bradley's position. Although I have misgivings about his disclosure of classified information. I too served in the military with a clearance I still have. I don't know how I can further his effort.
Bradley, I served in Iraq.I am seriously debilitated by PTSD. I respect what you have done.My brother in arms.
Manning released cables showing that a similar BP blowout happened in the Caspian Sea 17 months earlier, caused by the same cost-cutting risk of using nitrogen in a deep-water cement plug, information that was buried by BP, the U.S. and the NYT.
I would have only one thing to add to Palast's blockbuster article. Palast wrote near the end: "I guess the idea is that releasing information that kills troops is criminal, but that dis-information that kills troops is quite acceptable," referring to the NYT's collusion with WMD dis-information. But Manning's releases have not been shown to cost any lives. On the contrary, he saved many lives by helping to bring the Iraq War to an end. U.S. troops were pulled out when Iraq refused immunity for war crimes like those described in Manning's releases. And he may have prevented a disastrous war with Iran by exposing the Saudi, Bahrain and Qatar kings who asked the U.S. to start such a war. I would have written: "I guess that releasing information that saves troops is criminal, but that dis-information that kills troops is quite acceptable."
I am in my sophomore yr of HS and I wrote this article for the student paper in support of Bradley Manning, this is the uncensored version. Please read and share. -
It is a soldier's duty to report war crimes.
That helicopter gunship crew should be on trial along with Bush, Cheney and the rest of that discredited mob.
No wonder Congress is rated so low.
At least, Senator Byrd had the guts to stand up and tell congress to not be in such a hurry to rush off to war.
The real enemies are the greed, ignorance, apathy.
Bradley Manning has apparently made a real effort to come to grips with them.
The honor of the military and the country is at stake in my opinion.
As a Vietnam era medic, I have respect for all those who serve honorably and contempt for those who do not in whatever official capacity no matter how high their rank.
Bradley Manning makes me proud to have been a Pfc. in 1963. -

Japan's top court has authorized the seizure of North Korea's de facto embassy to pay off debts, local media reported Thursday.
The Supreme Court upheld previous rulings that Japan's government debt collection body can auction off the headquarters of Chongryon, the organization that represents North Korean interests in Japan in the absence of diplomatic ties.
The Resolution and Collection Corporation (RCC) was demanding repayment of ¥62.7 billion ($789 million) from Chongryon and seeking to impound property as collateral, including the group's headquarters in Tokyo.
Hundreds of thousands of ethnic Koreans live in Japan, mostly a legacy of those who emigrated or were forced to move to Japan during its 1910-1945 colonial rule of the Korean peninsula.
About 10 percent are believed to be affiliated with Chongryon, which charges that the community is persecuted by authorities and harassed by right-wing activists.
The Tokyo metropolitan government, headed by nationalist Shintaro Ishihara, in 2003 suspended a tax break which Chongryon enjoyed due to the building's quasi-diplomatic status.

2005 Royal Cuvée
Our Royal Cuvée is a prestige bottling that showcases the superb quality of the grapes grown on our 335-acre estate vineyard in Carneros. The structure and mouthfeel of this wine have evolved over successive vintages as these impressive vineyard blocks have matured. Made only from the first pressing of hand-picked grapes, this classic Brut blend of two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay offers the delicacy and exuberance of perfectly ripe fruit well-integrated with complexities derived from over five years of aging on the yeast. The inaugural vintage of "Royal Cuvée" was first served to King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofia of Spain, during their visit to California in 1987.
Tasting Notes
Ripe stone fruit medley and citrus intermingle with toast, butter and yeasty aromas on the nose of this well-developed yet vibrantly fresh sparkling wine. Creamy textures with hints of butterscotch and almonds support delicious flavors of pears, apples and lemons. The elegantly structured and long creamy finish is simply irresistible.
Winemaking Notes
The 2005 vintage began with a very cool, wet spring that slightly delayed bud break and bloom. A mild, sunny and dry summer further slowed the season, and temperatures through September and into October remained below 100°F. As a consequence, a longer than normal period between veraison and harvest provided true hang time.
"A beautiful sparkling wine, rich and refined in the mouth, with creamy flavors that show ripe, sweet California strawberries and lime. This bottling gets better and better with each new release."
- Wine Enthusiast, March 2012
- Wine & Spirits Magazine, February 2012
"Floral aromas of pear and crème brûlée lead to a burst of succulent lemon flavors before turning crisp and minerally on the finish. Drink now through 2014."
- Wine Spectator, April 2012
"The 2004 Royal Cuvée is an attractive wine laced with ripe apricots, pears, hazelnuts and brioche. Hints of toastiness add complexity on the creamy, expansive finish. The blend is 67% Pinot Noir and 33% Chardonnay. Disgorged on 2/4/2011. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014."
- "The Best of Sonoma", The Wine Advocate #199, February 2012
"Make your mother feel like a queen with this sparkling wine, whose first vintage was served to the King and Queen of Spain when they visited California in 1987. The 2004 vintage is a blend of two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay grown on the winery's estate vineyard in the Carneros region of Napa Valley. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of peach and toast. In the mouth, it reveals apple and pear flavors with a hint of butterscotch."

As this Wall Street Journal piece points out, oil companies didn't want to have to explore this far out to sea, but were left no choice by envriomentalists keeping them from drilling closer to shore. But wouldn't the irony be so delicious if, as this story suggests, there is a massive amount of oil in the Atlantic stretching from Africa to North America, that could revitalize fossil fuel use for the next century? The Envriomental whackos have always counted on us "running out of oil." What if by their own restrictions they've pushed oil companies to discover hithero unimagined deposits of oil? Can you tell I'm smiling as I write this?

Traditional Marketing isn't dead! In fact, it is alive and well, offering an abundance of opportunities for your business.
Consumers are comfortable with paper, and certain segments of the market actually prefer it. Uniquely enough, paper gets around, too! It has what is called pass-a-long value, meaning it travels from one reader to the next - reaching individuals who would have never heard your message otherwise.
The reality is that people still read print, they still go to trade shows, they still buy magazines, and they still want your business card! You need to be prepared both online and offline to meet your target market with your message.
We admit that traditional marketing strategies are not the same beasts they were a decade ago. Online marketing has changed the way traditional offline marketing is executed. In fact, traditional marketing is more like an extension of your online marketing strategy, rather than a strategy in itself.
The goal of traditional marketing now is to engage your prospects offline, and then connect and convert them online. It is imperative that your offline traditional marketing strategies are paired with smart online marketing strategies.
Please take a moment to browse our traditional marketing services.

The taste of this meat loaf was outstanding! However, because of personal preferences and picky eaters in my household, I will do a few things differently next time I make this. I would either add onion powder or puree the onions first next time... that was the biggest complaint of my 2-year-old & 4-year-old. I would also chop the bread a lot finer as well. I will make it again with the carrots, but they did give it a little funny look to the meat, which my kids were quick to point out! But because they added moisture and nutrition, I'll keep them as is in the recipe. The sauce was amazing, I didn't change a thing, but next time I would like to double the sauce and just shape the meat into a loaf instead of baking in a 9x5 pan. Am I the only one who ended up with a huge grease puddle surrounding the meat that looked extremely unappetizing? (And I used 93% lean ground beef). I lifted the loaf out, but some of the juice had come over the top and ruined some of the glaze. I think if I baked it in a larger pan, at least the juices would stay at the bottom... and I could cover more of the meat with the glaze that way. Overall a tasty keeper, just with a few modifications next time due to personal preference.

Fun Flower Facts
I heard that flowers are good for your health. Is that true?
According to recent behavioral research conducted at Rutgers University, the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behavior in a positive manner far beyond what is normally believed. Common sense tells us that flowers make us happy, said Dr. Jeanette Haviland-Jones, lead researcher on the study. Now, science shows that not only do flowers make us happier than we know, they have strong positive effects on our emotional well being.
What are the best floral designs and colors for men?
Men are stimulated by color and are visually oriented. Research shows that men prefer vivid colors such as yellow, orange and red. Flower arrangements that are contemporary, linear styles or natural styles are best. Other favorites might include green or flowering plants. Be sure to tell us that you want flowers for a man and ask for specific suggestions. If your recipient has a hobby, perhaps you could highlight that. For example, if he is a golfer, tuck in a box of golf balls. If he is into cars, add an auto magazine or two. We can always offer creative suggestions for flowers that are sure to please.

New ferry names released Tuesday
November 16, 2012 · 8:31 AM
Washington State Transportation Commission announced Tuesday the names of two 144-car ferries currently under construction.
Tokitae should begin carrying passengers in early 2014, and Samish may set sail in early 2015.
Whidbey-based Orca Network campaigned for the name Tokitae and collected more than 1,500 signatures.
This Coast Salish greeting means "nice day, pretty colors." It is also the name of an orca captured in Penn Cove in 1970. Tokitae was re-named Lolita when she was brought to a marine park in Miami 40 years ago.
Orca captures have been banned in Washington state waters since 1976.
Samish means "giving people." The Samish Indian Nation's historic area ranges from the mountains of the Cascade Range west along the hills, woodlands, and river deltas, ending at the far western shores of San Juan Island.
The naming of the two new Olympic Class vessels is in keeping with the tradition of giving names that reflects the state's tribal heritage.
No official determination on the routes that the ferries will serve has yet been made, but Joy Goldenberg, spokeswoman for Washington State Ferries, said the two vessels they could serve on the Mukilteo-Clinton route, among the San Juan Islands or between Bremerton and Seattle.
Ferries may be moved between routes to provide the highest level of service, Goldenberg said.
