RACINE, Wis. (AP) -- Racine County district attorney Rich Chiapete acknowledges that he drove while intoxicated this week and fled the scene of a single-vehicle crash.
In an email to The Journal Times of Racine (http://bit.ly/1h0tpUq ) Saturday, Chiapete said he received municipal citations Friday for OWI and hit-and-run. Racine Police Chief Art Howell confirms that Chiapete was cited following a property-damage accident.
Chiapete says he was involved in a single-car accident while returning home from a birthday party where he'd had a few drinks. He says he initially panicked and left the scene.
He says he's "ashamed and embarrassed" and takes full responsibility for his "extremely poor judgment." He says this shouldn't have happened. He adds that he'll work hard to restore his community's faith in him.

Hello goex and welcome to Seven Forums.
I'm not a BSOD expert. Until one comes along to look at this, there are a couple of things you can do to help them. First, it would help if you gave as much info about your system as you can. At the top of any Forum page click on "User CP" and then click "Edit System Spec" in the left column. Fill in as much info about your computer as you can. Also indicate if it's a desktop or a laptop.
You could also provide a bit more info about how often the BSODs occur, if they occur at startup or after the computer has been on for a while, when performing a particular task, etc. Also, when you say it's a "new clean computer" does that mean you just bought it / built it? Or did you just reinstall the operating system and all other programs, etc?
Malware and high temperatures can cause many BSODs. If you haven't already done so do a full malware scan. (You may have to do it in Safe Mode.) Three highly recommended and free malware scanning tools are:
ESET Online Scanner
Windows Defender Offline
To monitor temperatures you could use this free utility:
If you can access Safe Mode through Advanced Boot Options, you might be able to return your computer to a working state by using a system restore point from a date/time prior to when the problem began.
Safe Mode
System Restore
You could also see if your computer has any damaged or corrupt system files. Also from Safe Mode try running a system file checker scan from an elevated command prompt (option two.) If problems are found, run the scan 3 times and reboot your computer after each scan.
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
If still having issues, one of the Forum experts prepared these troubleshooting guides. They are time consuming but have helped many. They can also help determine of the BSODs are software or hardware related.

Anna Kashfi
|Anna Kashfi
|Johanna O'Callaghan
September 30, 1934
Darjeeling, British India
|Years active
|Marlon Brando (1957-1959)
James Hannaford (1974-1986; his death)
|IMDb biodata
Anna Kashfi (born September 30, 1934) is an Anglo-Indian former film actress, who had a brief Hollywood career in the 1950s and is best known for having been married to Marlon Brando.
Early life and origins[edit]
Johanna O'Callaghan was born in Darjeeling and raised in Calcutta, India and, later, Cardiff, Wales, where the family moved in 1947.[1] William P. O'Callaghan was a London-born steel worker of Irish descent, who had been a traffic superintendent on the Indian State railways; his wife was English and told the press "there is no Indian blood in my family or my husband's family".[1] In her book, Brando for Breakfast, published in 1979, however, Kashfi claimed that she really is half-Indian and that the press incorrectly believed that William O'Callaghan was her real father when he was, she stated, her stepfather. Kashfi wrote that her biological father was Indian and that she was the result of an "unregistered alliance" between her parents. Film director Edward Dmytryk, who directed the actress in her first film, stated that he knew her real surname was Irish but he said he assumed that she was half-Indian.[1]
She worked as a waitress in Cardiff and in a butcher shop before moving to London, where she became a model[2]
The actress made her debut screen appearance using the stage name Anna Kashfi as a Hindu girl in The Mountain (1956) for Paramount with Spencer Tracy and Robert Wagner. In her next film she co-starred with Rock Hudson as a Korean girl in Battle Hymn (1957). This was followed by Cowboy (1958) with Glenn Ford and Jack Lemmon in which she played a Mexican. Her next and last film during this period was Night of the Quarter Moon (1959). She made a few appearances on television, including the series Adventures in Paradise, though drug and alcohol problems reportedly contributed to the premature end of her acting career[3]
Personal life[edit]
Kashfi married Marlon Brando on October 11, 1957, and they were divorced on April 22, 1959. She had met Brando in the summer of 1956 and dated all through that year and all through 1957. According to The New York Times (October 14, 1957), though Kashfi's parents had been identified as the O'Callaghans, she did not identify them as her parents on her marriage license, instead stating that her father was Devi Kashfi and her mother was Selma Ghose; a friend of the bride stated that Kashfi's purported Indian father had died six weeks before the Brandos' wedding.[4] The O'Callaghans' were adamant that Kashfi was their child, and William O'Callaghan was quoted in Time magazine as saying, "That's our daughter, and both me and missus were born in London." The magazine further stated that "MGM, which likes Johanna-Anna in her off-shoulder sari, first hedged, then admitted her identity."[5]
The Brandos had a son, Christian Devi Brando, (1958–2008), and fought bitterly over custody of the boy, with Brando eventually obtaining custody. Kashfi married James Hannaford, a salesman, in 1974.
In the 1990s, her son, Christian, whom she called "Devi", was tried for killing his half-sister Cheyenne Brando's boyfriend, Dag Drollet. Christian Brando died of pneumonia in Los Angeles in 2008, aged 49. Kashfi has one grandson, Michael Brando (born 1988).

ok alot of you guys have mentioned that you guys make some of your meals such as chicken breast, rice, potatoes and etc earlier during the week and store them in the fridge. So i was just wondering do you guys use the microwave to heat them up to eat it, or just eat it cold. I am now skeptical of using the microwave because i heard that once you microwave it a large majority of the food nutrients are gone.

SUNRISE, Fla. -- After just five goals in their first four games -- three of them losses -- the Philadelphia Flyers are starting to roll. Matt Read earned his first career hat trick to lead the Flyers to a 7-1 win over the Florida Panthers Saturday night. It was the fourth straight loss for the Panthers (1-4), who scored four goals in their first period of the season and have been outscored 18-2 since. The Flyers (2-3), meanwhile, got three goals in Saturday's first period and cruised from there. It was the first road win of the season for the Flyers, although there were many Philadelphia fans present on enemy ice. Those supporters were heard chanting: "Let's Go Flyers!" Read, who got one goal in each period, credited his success to his linemates, Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds. This was the second straight game those three have played together, and both games resulted in Flyers wins. "Claude is one of the best players in the NHL, and Simmonds...

Adam Levine Defends "I Hate This Country" Remark as a Jokeby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Last night on The Voice results show, favorites Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons were voted off, leaving many viewers in shock.
But Adam Levine has now given fans a different reason for surprise: a hot microphone caught him muttering "I hate this country" not long after after Amber Carrington was "saved by America," as Carson Daly announced.
Watch and listen now:
It's unclear what exactly Levine meant, considering he made the remark after his own team member was deemed safe.
But the singer took to Twitter after the controversy went viral and defended the quip as a mere joke, listing several dictionary entries in an attempt to clarify.
To wit:
joke-noun1.something said or done to provoke laughter or cause amusement, as a witticism, a short and amusing anecdote, or prankish act.
hu·mor·less (hymr-ls) adj. 1. Lacking a sense of humor. 2. Said or done without humor.
He also went on to define "lighthearted" and "misunderstand."
Might the Maroon 5 frontman have been referring to the fact that his country singer was saved, while his R&B and rock crooners remained on stage?
Who knows. But we're gonna give Levine the benefit of the patriotic doubt on this one.
Everyone, please stop obsessing. Adam Levine was simply referencing the fact that America chose not to save our dear, Judith Hill. Judith whom everyone expected to make it to the finals. Judith who was going to go on tour with Michael Jackson. And now, when he says he "hates" this country because it's their fault Judith is not longer on the show, he should be shunned? He was frustrated. Okay? I said the exact same thing after the show. I said "I hate this country." Not because I dislike the fact that I have freedom. Not because America doesn't protect me. It was because I was angry, and when people are angry, they say things they'll regret. I assure you, Adam Levine does regret what he said. He admitted it himself.
Dear Adam Levine, please leave this country and never return. We already have enough d-bags so one less one would be much welcomed.
just as Irene explained I am impressed that any body able to earn $9408 in 1 month on the internet. have you read this webpage,,,,,,,,,,, Dub50.ℂℴm

One of the most common questions sent to us is 'Where can I find the international and foreign currency conversion fees for each provider?'
The credit card is a great travelling companion. It's welcome when paying for flights and hotels, can offer perks both in the air and on the ground, and it's a secure way to take your money overseas. But what's not so welcome are the fees and charges that come when you transact in a currency other than Australian dollars.
There's a number of these fees: currency conversion fees, foreign transaction fees, international ATM charges and cash advance fees, and we're accustomed to paying them. Forking out to cover currency conversion fees, for instance, is pretty much ingrained in the in the experience of using your credit card in a foreign country.
It's your hard earned money you're giving to your card provider, so it's important to know how much you're getting charged and why.
To help in your education, we've stockpiled all the major bank's currency conversion fees and international ATM charges.
Pretty much every financial provider will change you when you use your card overseas, but there are a few products out there that do not charge currency conversion and international ATM fees. Following our comparison of these fees and charges, we'll have a quick look at the cards that are suited to overseas travel.

What is a foreign currency conversion fee?
This is the largest charge you're going to incur when you use your card overseas. A cross currency conversion fee is a charge for converting Australian dollars into a foreign currency when you make a purchase — usually somewhere between 2 and 3% of the value of the transaction depending on your card provider.
Why is it charged?
Since you own an Australian credit card, your balance and credit is automatically in Australian dollars. When you transact in a foreign currency, the money must be charged from one currency to the other. Your financial institution and the card scheme (Visa, MasterCard and American Express) will handle this conversion for you, but they'll charge you a fee for doing so.
Visa and MasterCard automatically charge a 1-2% fee on foreign currency exchange, so this minimum can at least be expected. Anything in excess is generally a small margin of profit for the bank.
What is an overseas transaction charge?
Regardless of the currency and whether it's a purchase or cash advance, a couple of providers impose an overseas transaction charge, which takes a clean 1-3% figure off the total transaction amount. This is generally listed separately from the currency conversion fee.
ATM fees
Even if you are using your own money when you withdraw cash from your credit card, there will still be a charge for using an ATM. International ATM fees and local ATM operator fees can cost up to $5 for each transaction and have the potential to blow the budget, but they can be avoided with a little planning. Some major Australian banks have a range of 'global alliance partners' that allow Australians to withdraw money from international ATMs without incurring a fee. Westpac, for instance, are partnered with Barclays Bank, which has a robust international ATM network. All you have to do is take some time to plan where you're going to be and look out for your bank or lender's global ATM partner.
What is a cash advance fee? (international)
It's general credit card knowledge that cash advances are expensive, even domestically. Once you begin using your credit card overseas, withdrawing cash will only increase the amount you get charged. On top of the normal interest rate and lack of interest free days, you can be imposed a $1-$10 / 1%-4% fee (whichever is higher) every time you carry out an overseas cash advance. You will also be charged the standard cash advance rate for your credit card (as well as the international cash advance fee).
Before you go overseas make sure you check what rate your credit card issuer will charge you for foreign transactions and currency conversion. Make sure you do a thorough comparison before you jet off to ensure you get the best bang for your buck.
What fees will I pay when I…
To help our users understand exactly what they'll be up for when they use their card overseas, we thought we'd break down the fees and charges when you use your card in a couple of different situations. The actual fees and charges will vary depending on the card you use, but you can refer to the comparison table above to calculate your expenses.
Withdraw cash from an ATM?
If you use your credit card to withdraw from an overseas ATM, the following fees and charges will apply:
- International ATM fee (see above);
- Cash advance fee (Some lenders will waive this fee if you've preloaded your own funds onto the card); and
- Currency conversion fee (this amount is calculated based on the total of the international ATM fee and the amount being withdrawn).
- Local ATM operator fee (this can be avoided by using an ATM with your bank's overseas ATM Alliance [if they have one]);
- The cash advance rate of interest will apply from the day the transaction takes place.
Make a purchase?
Purchases are a little more forgiving on the hip pocket than an overseas cash advance.
This applies to everything from booking a hotel or a flight while abroad through to buying goods from overseas from the comfort of your living room back home.
- Currency conversion fee;
- Purchase rate of interest (excluding interest free days).

Toyota to launch hydrogen (ie, NATURAL GAS) powered fuel cell hybrid
It was the hydrogen station problem that prevented BMW, Mercedes and VW launching their hydrogen powered cars in the 1980s - I believe the research was not stopped, so who knows we might get more options.
'It's NOT a fishing expedition', say police over random spot checks on gun owners
Re: For better or for worse, there are a large number of target shooters who are in their dotage.
Going to reply to this one as Trigonoceps is an obvious gun owner/shooter.
When did the law previously change ? My understanding was that anyone who kept guns at home were open for random spot checks to make sure everything was still secure (i.e. guns locked away, no ammunition onsite (or is it in a different safe location ?)).
From my knowledge nothing has changed, just the tin foil brigade making assumptions - as I said I've posted this reply to a gun owner's response as I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong.
An EMC-HP Borg cube will totally ANNIHILATE its storage worlds
Weren't similar things said before the merger of HP and Compaq ?
Just saying as I have no loyalty to either HP nor EMC. Sure it could be a disaster, but HP have been there before and come out quite quickly smelling of roses.
Renault Twingo: Small, sporty(ish), safe ... and it's a BACK-ENDER
Re: Fiat 500?
Almost certainly this will get sportier engines - don't forget the Twingo II was launched with just a couple of semi-asthmatic petrol engines and a slow diesel one. The warm and hot versions came later.
I'm looking forwards to trying one of these. The whole FF layout was all about safety as even an original Fiat 500 or 126 could end up in a nasty/embarrassing spin in the wrong circumstances (I had a rear puncture in a 126 as it was turning a corner - ended up facing the other way as the front spun round). It's a shame there's no front space - I assume this is again due to crash protection
Do wish with we'd got the original in the UK. I occasionally look for a second hand one over here but they command high prices and tend to be suffering from bad rust.

Best shot: Coffee - how do you brew?
Re: Filter Best For Me
Before the euro it was a lot cheaper as well as there being a far larger selection.
One thing to be aware of though, if you see a brand you buy in the UK (beans, ground, or even instant) don't assume it'll be the same in France as I have found that some times the roasting/flavour does differ.
Moka all the way
While it's no good for a work place, every time I've tried another form of coffee making I've always found myself going back to my trusty moka pot.

Fiat Panda Cross: 'Interesting-looking' Multipla spawn hits UK
Re: Multipla
The last Multipla in pre-face lift form was incredbly marmite in looks, but also a very capable 6 seater load lugger. I had one for a few years as a run around, quite happilly did distance driving with large rugby players inside who were not scrunched up while carrying kit in the boot (you can get suitacases in upright without having to dro a seat).
It really did mix opinions amongst my friends, some loved it's quirky external looks, others hated the it - one even nicknamed mine the Uglipa.
Sonos AXES support for Apple's iOS4 and 5
Re: Sonos legacy support...
@ Timbo - cheers for that - was not aware. I suspect it will just get it's version number updated in the future. At least it's not being scrapped as it is easier to use than the latest app and also is waterproof so can be used when listening to music in the bath (erm).
@ Hitmouse - you get prompted about upgrading so it's not some thing you can do easily by accident.
You only need the new software update (when it comes out) if you upgrade your Sonos firmware
Sonos have a habit of bringing out new functionality as well as fixes with their software updates. Also Sonos works by all your components being at the same level, so when an upgrade occurs then all components are matched to the new level - you are prompted before any of that happens. Sure with the CR100 this might just be a change to the version number to keep it working (or some thing similar), but what it means is that you do not have to go for an upgrade.
Net result, if your only controller is an early iDevice which can not be upgraded to iOS7, or for some other reason you do not want to update your compatible idevice device to iOS7 then simply do not upgrade your Sonos system. It won't stop working. The only thing is you will not be able to add new devices (or second hand ones at a different firmware/software level).
On a side note - as well as dedicated controllers, you can also run the software from Android devices, plus PCs and MACs - personally I prefer the desktop software from the controller software (especially after the 'Android friendly' redesign.
Another day, another Firefox: Version 31 is upon us ALREADY
Re: Irrelevant?
I've been suffering with Firefox memory slurping for a long time now - even disabled flash in it at one stage (it's amazing just how much online content relies on flash). I don't like the feel of Chrome (yeah I know Firefox are trying to copy them)- actually found the latest versions of Explorer to be faster and more reliable (stop the cat calls) however with no addblock+ available for IE I'm not going to be moving across.
Audio tech upstart DTS takes on Wi-Fi speaker juggernaut Sonos
Re: Bollocks
Don't knock the Sonos mesh network - friend of mine extended his network out to his garage (where his fitness gear is) and the end of his garden using his Sonos system, (he could have used home plugs for only part of that).
Also if you have a large house, or too many thick walls, then your range is not limited to distance between receivers and your wifi hub, but rather between nearest units.

Oyster was made to work by pricing out the alternatives ...
I remember when Oyster first came in to being in the UK (I already had an Octopus card from HK so was familiar and happy to use them). What was noticeable, however, was that there were suddenly a number of fare rises for existing season tickets and traditional pay by cash tickets making them considerably more expensive.
It did not stop there, however, as it was cheaper for regular travellers to pay by period, not by journey - even with the daily cap, so next period charges rose several times until they became too expensive with the end result being that the only economical way to regularly travel by tube was to use a pay-by-journey oyster card.
Battle ready: Valiant Hearts and Company of Heroes: Western Front
Will Ubisoft now rerelease Historyline 1914-18 ?
With Ubisoft producing "Valiant Hearts: The Great War", would lvoe it if they looked at their back catalogue and re-released Historyline 1914-18 (which they got when they bought up Bluebyte). Nonly only was it a great battlefield comamnd game, but it was full of historical information and back ground.
Stop bullying SUPER FAT GODZILLA, urge movie stars

Big Blue's GPFS: The tech's fantastic. Shame about the product
Miss running GPFS systems
I'm another GPFS fan, however I also fear looking at the costs. I describe it as the sort of product where if you have the requirements and the financial backers then it is worth it, however if you're missing one of those it's just too expensive.
Back in ~1999/2000 (almsot a decade before I started using it) I remember there were three tiers - a basic very limited free version, a cheap version with no resilience, and the full fat resilient version. Think the first two got dropped as people tried running setups with them then and then complaining that it was a useless sytem when they had a disk failure or a node went/was taken down.
BTW - with experience you can get it up and running rather quickly, it just depends on what additional complexities you want to introduce.
HTC One M8: Reg man takes spin in Alfa Romeo of smartphone world
Any Wireless Charging Options
Yup some one has to ask and yes I am one of those who got a Qi charging pad for their present phone (Nexus 4). Jokes aside I don't regret the pad, however it's a pain looking for a new phone that will use it. Having played a little with the M8 it is rather tempting ....
... so does anyone know if it will wirelesly charge or if there's an official Qi case for it (as Samsung are supposedly brining out for the Galaxy S4 and S5) ? (though it'd be a shame to put a case on some thing that looks and feels the way it does).
Ah the gold old sound of my Busso 3.0v6 engined Alfa 164 used to make me feel happy again after having just splashed out to get yet more electrical gremlins fixed. Never quite had the same sensation when my Desire Z started to play up (after the HTC Gingerbreakyourphonebread update).
Re: MyPhoneExplorer
MyPhoneExplorer struggles on Android 4.3 onwards - been using it since 4.2 on a HTC Desire Z. Main issue for me is it duplicating the address book on your phone or not syncing it properly. It's one of the complaints on their forum but one they seem little interested in fixing (having said that it is free).
Ancient telly, check. Sonos sound system, check. OMG WOAH
To be honest, if audiophiles want to go for wireless streaming then they should be looking at the CM100 (now Sonos: Connect). This is designed to connect in to your stereo system/amp, allowing you to stream while also maintaining audio quality (remember Sonos does support FLAC).
For some reason, while still selling the the latest generation of their original unamped and amped units Sonos hide those on their website and try to push their speaker inclusive units. No issue for the likes of me with no real ear for music quality (or so I claim), but useful for those wanting to expand on existing setups.
Playbar will work without any other Sonos components. The Bridge is just a link in to your network - one Sonos component must then the rest communicate wireless through the mesh network (meaning range is determined by distance between Sonos units, not to the central router). In reality it can be any Sonos unit connected to your network, the bridge is just a cheap method of doing so without having to sacrifice where you want to place a speaker or how you tidy a cable up.
It's big, it's expensive and it's an audiophile's dream: The Sonos Sub
@Steve Todd Re: Sorry, Audiophile and Sonos in the same sentence?
In which case you can plug a CM100 (or is it 120) unamped unit in to your stereo and take advantage of streaming over your decent HiFi system. Leave the play 1/3/5s to other rooms.
Re: have they fixed the horrible lag?
Never had that problem myself, however I know that issue is meant to exist with the Play Bar.
Pay-by-bonk on the blink: O2 loses Wallet
The real problem is people like real cash
Let us not forget there have been previous attempts to move us on to electronic direct money transfers - let us not forget Mondex from the late 1990s (or was it later) - great idea of having your own digital wallet and being able to do direct transfers of small amounts to others without having to go through a banking system (literally an electronic cash wallet for those too young to remember). In theory it was a great idea, but when tested no one wanted to use it and it died.

Sonos and I: How home media playback just gets SO FRUSTRATING
Re: Nice.... but not quite there yet !
To the two above
1. Power supply - Sonos units all plug in to the mains - which is a shame as it'd be nice to have a fully portable unit to take out in to the garden.
2. Mono - nope all devices are at least stereo, however with the Play series you can use a pair as 'stero' speakers - i.e. one covering left and one covering right.
LG's G2: The phondleslab that wants you to TOUCH ITS BEHIND
No Qi Wireless Charging
For some reason LG have done a deal with Verizon so onlty their version gets in-built Qi charging. now 4 months ago I'd not have thoguht about this, but since then I've been using a Qi charger with my Nexus 4 and now can not do without it.
Sure LG have said there will be an accessory, but having to use a specific add-on (almost cerainly a case) does part defeat the object

Another Hater Here
While the old wireless hotspot issue appears not to have raised its annoying head at work (where a wifi DC ends your certificate), I've struggled to like it since upgrading my iPad last night. There's just too much visibly wrong with it. Sure I like what they've done to the calendar app and also making newstand an app so I can file it away is also a good thing, but it's just too garish, too obtrusive, poorly designed, in your face.
The old look may have been dated but it just felt right, from first time till I upgraded last night. This is just proof that Jonny Ives might be a great technical designer but he shows little knowledge of user itnerfaces (and/or was stoned when he signed this off).
What sums it up for me is the fact it askde me to give permission for the Weather App to have access to Location Services - however the iPad does not get it ....

However, my HUD (nor the ones in other Citrons, Peugots, BMWs and Audis), does not allow me to browse G+, FB, twiter, etc, nor does it alert me to new emails or relevant social network posts.
The key thing is, it is not the fact that it provides some thing useful, it's the fact google glasses will also provide lots of distractions.

Now I'm not exactly TV knowledgeable so feel free to tell me it makes no difference.
Star Wars missile intercept fails for fifth year running
Re: Can't they have a word with the Israelis?
Actually the Iron Dome system was meant to have worked remarkably well with very few missiles getting through and hitting human occupied areas. The system is clever enough that on detecting an incoming missile it will calcualte where it will land and if that's waste land, desert, the sea, etc, then it will leave it be and save the missile for the next potential target.
As others have said, it is only a defence against short range missiles (though theoretically also agaisnt SCUD type) and is part of a three tier solution. Middle tier will be the replaement for patriot (which had only about a 50% success rate during the Gulf War), and the third tier a theoretical defence agaisnt ICBMs.
Iron Dome is Israeli tech, not a joint project, however I do understand they are looking to sell it to the US.
Douglas Engelbart, PC pioneer and creator of the mouse, dies at 88
Re: Maybe they will know him now.

After all just how many of the general world (and a lot of the IT world) have heard of him, or Joseph Licklider. Without the pair of them we'd almost certainly not have the computer aided world we have today.

Review: Renault Zoe electric car
The Electric Car Is Dead !
Sorry guys but, I'll quote the author first
"To argue that the electric car has already failed is farcical. To date only one mass-market EV from an established car maker has been launched in the UK: the Nissan Leaf. Even I'm not fully convinced by the Leaf. I think it's too big, too ugly and too expensive. A revised, cheaper, longer-range Sunderland-built model will address some of those failings, but I can't see it changing my essential feelings towards it.
No, in my opinion the only two cars that will fly the flag of the e-car in a convincing manner in 2013 are Toyota's Prius Plug-in hybrid and Renault's new Zoe BEV. If in two years' time global sales of these two are still piss poor then, and only then, will I discuss the "failure" of the e-car."
And now I'll like everyone to do a google ot look for press releases in recent months by Carlos Ghosn. He's the head of both Nissan and Renault. He has been the main driving force behind the pure electric car and the reason why Nissan and Renault sell these where as all their rivals only do hybrids and are only researching hybrids and/or hydrogen power.
So the head of the only main stram manufacturer of electric cars made an announcement a month or two ago. Basically Ghost said that he still liked the concept of a pure EV but as an enterprise it was a failure and as a result Nissan-Renault will now be dropping research in to them and instead look towards developing a range of hybrid cars based upon existing models.
This leaves no major motoring manufacturer in this field, with only Tesla seeming to be developing the technology and they can harldy be considered significant. Oh and don't bring G-Wizz up - no news of any new cars and even their existing one used old tech.

The rentals market in Cayo is thin. You can shop for weeks or longer and not find a place to rent that'd qualify as comfortable by North American standards. All the would-be retirees interested in trying Cayo on for size are competing for a relative handful of suitable rental properties. The demand for quality rentals is heating up.
At this week's Global Asset Protection and Wealth Summit in Belize City, developer Phil Hahn, with more than a decade of experience building in this country, presented a new investment offer that addresses this growing need. Phil has launched a phase of his riverside Carmelita Gardens community where he is building a cluster of turn-key rental units to be known as "The River Club."
Carmelita Gardens is a planned sustainable development where every house will be self-sufficient through the use of alternative energy and rainwater catchment systems. This is the first master-planned off-grid development in Belize, and it's not just the off-grid element that makes the community sustainable. Carmelita Gardens has been planned to include communal gardens and orchards so that every homeowner can grow his own food if he'd like. You could farm and garden all day every day if you wanted and live completely off the land...or you could be a "weekend gardener," growing some fresh vegetables to complement your weekly visit to the grocery store. It's up to you.
Having a mile of river frontage gives residents at Carmelita Gardens access to water activities, as well as a nice breeze to help cool things off on hot days. Now, along the river, on one of the river village lots, Phil has decided to build a group of 15 cottages intended specifically to serve as rentals.
These one-bedroom, one-bath River Club homes will help meet the need for rentals both in Carmelita Gardens and the greater Cayo region. Many owners at Carmelita Gardens are starting construction of their houses and need places to stay when they visit to check on progress. Some would prefer to live on the property full time while their houses are under construction. Right now, only one of the handful of finished houses at Carmelita is available for rent, and it's full much of the time.
Elsewhere, options for accommodation are mostly US$250-a-night jungle resorts and lower-end hotels and hostels. The new eco-rentals at Carmelita Gardens will fill the gap and offer an upscale, comfortable place to stay for a reasonable cost.
In theory, you could live in one of these 512-square-foot River Club cottages; however, they have been designed as rentals and with the investor in mind. They will be built using the same sustainable technology as all other structures at Carmelita Gardens, including solar electricity, treated catchment water systems, and eco-friendly septic. Each unit will come fully furnished and with appliances installed, ready to rent.
Of the 15 units available at River Club, 7 have been reserved. The remaining units start at US$76,500. Property management will be in place, and projections are for cash flow to begin within 18 months.
Based on current and expected demand and assuming a reasonable nightly rate, the projected annual yield from these units is 10%. Plus, owning one of these River Club units would give you a ready place to spend time in one of the world's most appealing get-away-from-it-all destinations.
If that's something that appeals to you...and you're in the market for a good rental investment opportunity...I'd recommend following up on this quickly. As I said, inventory is limited.

BREMEN — Bremen High School is losing a senior administrator, but he's not going very far.
The Union North School Board members approved the hiring of Bremen High School Assistant Principal Nate McKeand at their meeting Thursday, June 13.
McKeand is the new junior-senior high school principal for the district.
A veteran teacher and administrator, McKeand has served as BHS' assistant principal for the past six years.
McKeand said he'll miss the people he's met the most.
"In my six years at Bremen Public Schools, I have created some great friendships," he said. "I will miss working with these people on a daily basis, but will do my best to keep in touch."
Before becoming an administrator, McKeand taught business and marketing for the South Bend Community School Corporation and for Tippecanoe County Schools in Lafayette.
"I was ready for a new challenge and a new experience. I wanted to stay in the area due to the fact that my wife and I are from Warsaw," McKeand said. "Our families remain in Warsaw. Union North United School Corporation is making some positive changes and I am excited to be a part of that change."
McKeand is a 1996 graduate of Warsaw High School. He has been living in Nappanee for the past five years.
In addition to his experience, McKeand said he is bringing a teamwork attitude into his new role.
"I am a team player that is willing to work hard," he said. "I feel I relate well with students and staff. I have experience being a testing coordinator, working with state assessments and working with data."
His current contract is completed at the end of June. He plans to start at LaVille on July 1.
Union North Superintendent Mitch Mawhorter said McKeand was one of five candidates out of a dozen applicants to be considered for the position.
"What set him apart was his experience of six years as the assistant at Bremen High School, and that he had been involved in the 8-step process there," Mawhorter said.
Now that he has the school board's OK, McKeand knows the work is just beginning. He has a list of several priorities he hopes to address.
"The number one role of the building principal is the safety of staff and students," he said. "I will look at school safety plans and drills to help provide a safe learning and working environment. I will need to look at opportunities to remediate students to help prepare them to pass state assessments. And the thing that I am most excited about is meeting and getting to know the staff and students."
For him, it's the people around him that are as important as who is in charge.
"Being principal doesn't always mean you have all the answers or the best ideas," he said. "It is important to surround yourself with good people and work as a team. I hope to involve both staff and students in making decisions that are in the best interest of LaVille Jr. Sr. High School."

Six years jail for perverted Carlisle fairground worker
Last updated at 09:27, Saturday, 02 June 2012
A PERVERTED fairground worker who kidnapped a young man late at night and then twice forced him to perform sex acts has been jailed for six years.
Christopher Higgins, 24, terrified his slightly built young victim by telling him he was armed with a knife.
At Carlisle Crown Court yesterday, Recorder Peter Davies told the defendant: "You are a controlling, manipulative, and predatory individual."
Earlier, the court had heard how Higgins, of Oaklands Drive, Currock, had been on his bike as he followed his victim through Stanwix.
He shadowed the man as he walked through Stanwix at 11pm on a day in July of last year, the court heard.
He then grabbed the young man by the neck and forced him into bushes where he told him he had the knife and ordered him to perform a sex act. At first the victim refused, but he was so petrified that the did as ordered.
When a dog walker passed the scene the young victim was too terrified to shout for help, the court heard. His initial ordeal lasted five minutes – but Higgins then took his victim to a nearby park and repeated the abuse. When police eventually traced him to a fun fair in the North East, Higgins denied having had anything to do with the attack – only to change his story when confronted by DNA evidence.
He claimed his victim had been a willing partner in the sexual encounter. Higgins continued to deny any wrongdoing, but after a trial was convicted by majority verdicts of four offences: kidnap, kidnap with intent to commit a sexual offence; and two counts of causing a person to engage in a sexual act without consent.
Prosecutor Andrew Ford told the court yesterday that the attack had left the victim nervous, and afraid of going out after dark.
In his statement, the young man said he had changed since the incident, becoming more short-tempered and suffering from flashbacks.
But his statement added: "I felt it was very important to come to court."
Mr Ford said the jury's verdicts showed that they had concluded Higgins had committed a predatory offence against a stranger.
He added that Probation Service staff had concluded the defendant posed a "high risk" of future sexual offending.
Greg Hoare, for Higgins, said: "At the end of the day, it was a single course of conduct, no doubt terrifying; and it was over a relatively short period of time and a short distance."
The judge also imposed an extended licence period, which will run for six years after the defendant's release; and a Sexual Offences Prevention Order, which forbids Higgins from working with young children and prevents him from approaching lone strangers in public, except in social situations when he is with another adult, or when he is buying goods or services or in an emergency.

August 3, 2010
Mike Comer, the man who embezzled funds from the Glenmore Community Association, was sentenced Tuesday evening in Albemarle County Circuit Court.
Comer was sentenced to fifteen years for money laundering and embezzlement. All but one year and six months were suspended, and with four months already served, Comer will spend the next 14 months behind bars.
Judge Higgins said Tuesday that she decided to suspend most of the sentence because Comer has already paid money he stole from the GCA.
Comer pleaded guilty back in April to embezzling $465,000 from the GCA while he served as the association's former treasurer.
Comer disappeared in July of 2009, but turned himself in days later. Comer had once faced up to 120 years in prison.

Europe's economic crisis has nothing to do with green policy
Bob Ward, Vancouver SunPublished: Saturday, May 25, 2013
Re: To heat or eat? That's the EU's question, Column, May 17 As a dual British-Canadian citizen living in London, I was amazed to read Licia Corbella's enthusiastic promotion of the views of Benny Peiser, director of a tiny English lobby group that campaigns against climate policies and the European Union.
She should have been more skeptical of a number of false claims he made.
Ofgem, the U.K.'s energy regulator, has pointed out that the main reason the cost of heating and electricity has increased over the past few years is the increasing reliance on imports of natural gas, rather than the implementation of green energy policies.
Indeed, as even Peiser is forced to admit, the European Union's flagship climate policy, the emissions trading system, is proving far cheaper for power companies, and hence customers, than originally expected.
Peiser's suggestion that the U.K. has enough shale gas to heat all of the U.K.'s homes for 1,500 years is extremely misleading as it is based on an estimate of the total volume that might be trapped underground rather than of that which is recoverable.
In fact, even the most optimistic projections indicate the U.K. will not have enough supplies of domestic shale gas to end its dependence on expensive imports over the next decade.
But Peiser's most laughable claim is that the economic crisis in the European Union is somehow due to the cost of green energy.
Anyone with a grasp of current affairs knows the member states are suffering the consequences of having ignored very serious financial risks, particularly in the banking sector.
One of the most crucial lessons being learned now by the European Union is that huge risks, such as those posed by climate change, should be recognized and managed effectively.
Canadians should hope that our government soon shows it understands that, too.
Bob Ward Policy and Communications Director, London School of Economics and Political Science

The new CBS legal drama Made in Jersey had a lackluster opening Friday night at 9/8c, with 7.7 million viewers and a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 age demographic. Also at 9/8c, Fox's Fringe also opened to soft numbers in the premiere of what will be its final season, with 3.3 million viewers and a 1.1 rating in the demo — tying a repeat of the pilot episode of Last Resort on ABC. Leading the night was NBC's Grimm, whose 5.3 million viewers gave it a 1.6 in the demo.
In the 8 p.m. time slot, ABC's Shark Tank pulled 5.9 million viewers and a 1.5 rating, while CSI:NY was watched by 9 million and got a 1.3.

By Love Clothes
from Mississauga
I must say that these pants are a little more style than JR's other black pull-on pant with similar design. These ones have "pockets" in the back and the satin down the sides.On me, they looked like "big momma" pants. Too much bulk up top and almost stove-pipe on the legs. The other JR pull-on pants were ankle length so they looked much more "au courant."Nooooo.... not for me. P.S. They are good quality, which is a plus!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Lovely fabric, not clingy. Satin stripe takes the pants up a notch.Have received many compliments wearing these trousers. Thank you, Miss Joan, for providing women over 45 with stylish alternatives. :)

Basic pull on pant, comfortable, the satin strip on the sides give it an added touch that will make it more dressy. True to size.

Great Pants
By Lorna
from Vancouver BC
Love these pants. They fit great, the fabric is soft and has enough body to not cling to my lumpy bits. They are flattering and the tuxedo stripe makes them dressy. I ordered a second pair. I had looked everywhere to find tuxedo pants in plus size. I found lots of leggings but leggings are not flattering on heavy thighs. These pants skim over the lumps.

Parkinson White - Giraffe
Stumbled on some really awesome and uplifting "Purple Bass" this morning, I have recently decided to focus a little less on the dark/edgy jams (not giving them up for good, just trying to find a better balance). Tune is up for free download, hope you enjoy as much as I did!
