Broadband sellers in the UK are UP TO no good, says Which?
Re: Substantial majority
To be called Superfast it must provide download speeds in excess of 24 Mbps.
Has anybody looked at the BT website recently? Select the Broadband option and there is a very large prompt to see what speed BT Infinity you can get. Enter Postcode and land line number and it returns the predicted speed range. For me it is 9Mb - 14Mb so not called BT Infinity (or Superfast) but I'm getting about 8.5Mb last time I checked, which is better than 3Mb ADSL I had before.
Who needs hackers? 'Password1' opens a third of all biz doors
Mobile phone password issue
So you have a password based on a phrase, using simple number substitution, e.g. s becomes 5.
On a computer keyboard use Shift+5 for upper case S. Then you get a nice new phone and have to enter the password. What is the character you type for Shift+5?
Answer: It's % but how many people know the ten characters used on the numeric keys, and some are different depending on language and machine, " and @ are transposed on Macs compared to PCs in the UK
Gov.uk's broadband boast: Superfast fibre piped to 1 million Brits
A another government sponsored project "done on the cheap" but costing a lot of money. The whole thing should have been tackled in the same way as setting up the National Grid. It should be considered a national asset not a BT goldmine.

Danes debut Bluetooth-connected 'made for iPhone' hearing aids
Bluetooth has been a power hog, which is the main reason it is not incorporated in hearing aids.The batteries on my NHS supplied hearing aids last between 13 and 14 days, 4 to 5 would be a retrograde step.
I don't worry about losing them as they are usually hanging on my ears, unless I am washing or in bed.
iPhone5 and later all have a HAC rating of M4/T4 rating so no accessories required. My Nokia Lumia 620 works fine with aids in place.

BT in ad slapdown after 'misleading' punters on fibre deployment dates
When is Infinity not Infinity?
I got a letter from BT telling me of the availability of their Infinity product. Went on their website to check expected speed.
"Great news! You can now get faster download speeds using our upgraded fibre optic network. Faster Total Broadband is only available on our Unlimited Broadband and Calls package."
Expected 5.3Mb download which is better than the 2.3Mb I get now.
So I can get FTTC but not at an Infinity speed so they insist I must have the most expensive ADSL package, that's £26/month plus line rental.

I hate to actually post a positive comment about this apple patent but if you look at all the pictures they are not specifying a ractangle with rounded corners. Thay are patenting the whole look of the item complete with the position and shape of buttons and sockets.
In much the same way Ferrari patent the shape of their cars.
Copper-obsessed BT means UK misses out on ultrafast fibre gold
Blue in the face
I have said it before and I will say it again. FTTP should be rolled out in the same way as the National Grid was in the 1930s.
If the government were really serious about broadband they would pay for it. If they scrapped the HS2 London to Birmingham line the maney saved would pay for HTTP many times over.
Peeved bumpkins demand legally binding broadband promise from UK.gov
National Grid
The broadband network should be treated like the National Grid in the 1930s. Unfortunately the government (past and present) want something for nothing, delivered before their next general election.
I read that NZ have decided to skip FTTC for most users, going straight to FTTP as it will be cheaper in the long term. They intend to have a "world-class broadband network ".

Ten phones for seniors
Hearing impaired
I didn't post as anonymous but do you wear hearing aids? I suspect not.
Hearing aid compatible usually means they don't cause the aid to whistle or buzz. Most phones are "Hearing aid compatible" but I still have to remove an aid to use them. The phone on my desk at work has an external amplifier, between phone and handset, which means no one else can use it as it is TOO LOUD for them.
I want to know what the phones are like to actually use with hearing aids, not what the spec says.

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Audio Mixer: Ricardo Guiterrez.
|One of the lesser-known Boot Camp affiliates, Brooklyn rapper Ruste Juxx has been kicking around since the late '90s, debuting on Heltah Skeltah's sophomore effort, Magnum Force, contributing guest verses to a slew of Duck Down releases, and putting out his own full-length solo effort (co-signed by the BCC's most highly acclaimed artist of late, Sean Price) in 2008. Canadian-born, N.Y.-based producer Marco Polo has been steadily building his rep since his own 2007 debut LP, Port Authority, gained attention for its true-school-centered beats and all-star guests. Since welcomed to the Duck Down roster, Polo produced an entire LP for hardcore Coney Island MC Torae in 2009, the impressive Double Barrel. The Exxecution follows in the same vein as that previous effort, with Marco Polo providing loop-heavy tracks that recall the 1990s East Coast heyday while Ruste Juxx spits aggressive battle-ready verses rife with verbal threats and street-corner boasts. While he does little to set himself apart from the BCC ranks -- early on charactering himself as the "official Boot camp true-school general" (isn't Buckshot the general?) -- Juxx seems to have benefited from Sean Price's mentoring as he works a perfectly cadenced flow and manages to maintain a high energy level throughout the LP. Still, the most exciting moments on The Exxecution come when Juxx's Duck Down elders stop by -- case in point, the business-as-usual "Take Money" comes to life when Heltah Skeltah appears and then catches fire with legendary vet Freddie Foxxx's furious closing verse. But the record's hands-down highlight is the extraordinary Black Moon collabo "Let's Take a Sec." Elsewhere, Sean P ups the ante on hubris on "F*ckin wit a Gangsta," as he signs off claiming to ghostwrite Ruste Juxx's rhymes and chuckling, "If you a Ruste Juxx fan, I know you a Sean Price fan." That pretty much sums it up. ~ Matt Rinaldi

To whom it may concern, the key got stuck in the ignition in April (with no other problems) drained the battery and was picked up and taken to smicklas Chevrolet dealership in okc, and remained there on the lot until we picked up on 8/8/14 was told we needed a new battery they could do for around $200 but it was not payday yet and we asked for a jump when we got there. I feel with it sitting there so long maybe they should have try to charge the battery at the very least. We got a few miles down the expressway and had to pull over so we didn't get in a wreck or cause one due to a ton of smoke coming out the vents and a terrible electrical smell like it was on fire! turned off the a/c and pulled over to check under the hood to make sure there wasn't a fire, not one we could see but it sure smelled like it!! called ray at smicklas right there on the side of the road, only to be told it sounded like the blower motor on the air conditioner and that happens sometimes when cars sit for that long. Feeling helpless, we finally get home to check things out and find the passenger floor board full of water, unable to set the time on the radio and some buttons won't work or the cd player and the new remote start will not work. We get it to our mechanic that replaces the battery and told us that the old one was very hot!! and that the blower motor was not the problem, it didn't even have power to it, it was an electrical problem to do with the ignition switch that there was a recall on. . . . I laughed and told him we just had that done! he said that they may have wired something wrong, or the switch was bad. And to the end the day, when stopping for dinner on the way home the key stuck in the new ignition switch and I had to shift from park and drive a couple times to get the key out. What do I need to do to get this resolved??? thank you for your time,.
For the past couple months the power steering has locked up while driving if I shut my car off and turn it back on it will go back to normal, but never know when it will kick out again, the electric is cutting in and out, the lock on drivers side wont work when using key which happens periodically especially when it rains, my automatic start stopped working including my key-less entry will not unlock my doors or lock my doors even though I have changed the battery. I work for the youth service bureau/children's bureau of state of indiana as a case manager so often I have to transport clients to destinations, doctors, food pantry etc. I cannot take the chance of being in a wreck with clients, which has all most happened when I took a curve while by myself luckily. When I contacted the chevy dealer about recalls he stated there was only an ignition switch recall, which I beg to differ I have been on numerous websites where many other Hhr owners are complaining about the same thing I am complaining about, I asked the chevy dealers maintenance guy if I could get a rental while waiting for it to be fixed because of my job, he stated that he had to order the part and then he would call me when it arrived for me to bring my car in and it would take only an hour to two hours to fix, so while we are still waiting now for two weeks I am putting my clients and their children in jeopardy over an issue I am not at fault for, I personally feel that chevy should cover the cost of a rental car until all issue are taken care of properly. This was my first time owning a chevy, and after what the maintenance man said about not letting me have a rental even though I work for county and state organizations I was very disappointed in chevy I am in the process of looking for a new car and not sure if I will purchase another chevy after this!.

No accident has occurred; I would like to know why it takes so long to remedy the recall(s) on my vehicle; the first notice was received dated April 2014 from gm regarding the ignition switch. The next recall letter was received on may 11, 2014 and I immediately called my local gm (cecil clarke Chevrolet) in leesburg, florida to be put on the 'list' for the required parts/replacements. On June 17th, I called cecil clark again and was advised that although they were receiving 4 - 5 replacement kits a day, mine had not come in yet. Now I have a safety recall for June reference the eps and that parts are not currently available. I have done what I need to do, I drive only when I have to now, and although I follow the safety rules reference removing all items from the ignition key, I do not feel safe while driving anymore. Please can you find out why it takes so long to get parts for a very safety related issue. I thank you in advance.
I was backing up out of a parking stall the power steering suddenly stopped working , that is on recall along with the ignition switch we called may 20 2014 no parts for the ignition switch still no parts for that now another recall this time electrical power steering . . . . . Sunday july6 2014 at 11:30 am power steering suddenly went out call gm road side assistance got a tow to h&h chevy omaha ne . Then first thing Monday morning went in and got a loaner car. The service guy stated that gm does't no how to fix the power steering problem nor do they have anyone to fix it and no part to fix it with so it could be a month or longer we have to drive a chevy cruze which for someone with a very bad back and arthritis in knees and back bad car not comfortable. I think gm needs to just scrap all these cars and buy them back from the ppl and pay off there loans. I am looking into buying a different brand of car. One the corporation will communicate better then gm is now the company of we wont say a word til you get hurt. Dealerships telling owners to just drive your cars but becareful til they do get the part in.

Turned the key and started my car and then I couldn't turn it off. I could take the key out but the vehicle would not shut off as the ignition switch appears to be stuck in the on position. Took it to gm dealer in salinas to ask about it but said could not assist me till Wednesday, granted it was Saturday so okay, but could not help me shut off the vehicle. Said it most likely would not be associated with the recall though it seems related.

The recall I have had so far was with the ignition switch and that took the dealership over one month to repair. After my car was repaired and apparently rekeyed I am locked out of my car, the key will not unlock my car door. I called the gm roadside assistance, with hopes of assistance. They inform me they will be a $59. 95 fee to unlock my car and they accept all major credit cards. I explained to them this was not my error it as a result of the ignition recall they stood firm of their fee and suggested I call the local authorities. When I contacted gm about the recall I had shared with them I was having power steering issues. While I am driving my car my power steering goes out and it becomes hard to steer as well the is a display on the dashboard "power steering". On several occasions on the street, freeway and while turning into a parking space. I then became aware of a recall on Hhr power steering, however they say it not with my vehicle. Later I read an article stating that jeff boyer was offering a lifetime warranty on the vehicles that have not been recalled. Gm also said 309,160 non-turbocharged Chevrolet Hhrs from the 2006-2008 model years model year that are not subject to these recalls will be given lifetime warranties for replacement of the electronic power steering motor. So then when I call the 800 number to find out how I may have this power steering issue addressed with my district advisor he shares with me there has been no statement made that he is aware of I feel unsafe driving in this vehicle and with the round around and non assistance I am getting from gm I am not sure I ever will. Best regards, burgett mcbride.

Rajkot Municipal Corporation to increase FSI along BRTS routeDec 22, 2011, 11:34AM IST
Featured Today
The Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) has decided to increase the Floor Space Index (FSI) limit along the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) corridor on 150-feet Ring Road in city.
The 10.70-km pilot BRTS project is underway from Gondal Chowkdi to Madhapar Chowkdi. The corridor is ready and RMC officials are expecting to run BRTS buses very soon.
"We are preparing a proposal to increase the FSI along the BRTS corridor. We plan to earn Rs 120 crore by increasing FSI. RMC commissioner will send the proposal to the standing committee and after the due process the proposal will be sent to state government for approval,'' mayor Janak Kotak said. Kotak said that as of now 1.5 FSI is permitted in low-rise buildings, while 1.8 in high-rise ones. "We plan to increase it to 2.25 and 2.66 respectively," he said.
"The amount earned from increasing FSI will be used for developmental work in city,'' a senior RMC official said. The BRTS pilot project is being carried out under central government-sponsored Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). The entire project will be implemented in three corridors — blue, green and red — in a phased manner and will cover 104.86 sq km area in the city. The total length of BRTS project is 63.50 km in city.

It is 1899 in New York City, a thriving metropolis teeming with the hopes and dreams of thousands of newly arrived immigrants. Among them is Chava, a chaste Jewish widow who keeps to herself and works tirelessly in a lower East Side bakery, and Ahmad, an aloof Syrian tinsmith who wears an iron band on his wrist and makes beautiful figurines out of precious metal. Each of them is hiding a terrible secret that if discovered, could lead to their destruction. Chava can plunge pins into her own skin and not feel pain while Ahmad can raise them temperature of an entire room by just entering it. Because beneath their ordinary exteriors, Chava is a golem formed from clay, while Ahmad is a jinni made of fire. Neither of them requires sleep, so they each roam the young city's streets alone at night, Chava yearning to fit in with her human peers, Ahmad longing to escape from them. When they finally meet, they recognize the strangeness in each other and form a mystical bond that is tested when a mysterious figure from Ahmad's ancient past appears with a plan to enslave them both forever. This impeccably researched, lushly written novel of identity, faith, free will and unlikely friendship will appeal to readers of all ages and any card-carrying member of the history or folklore fandom. It's also a stunningly good New York story. I spent a very happy week immersed in the smoky, sooty atmosphere of the turn of the century Bowery and Lower East Side learning how to braid challah bread in a Jewish bakery and mend kettles in a Syrian tin shop. If you are seeking a book that will transport you far from the stinky bunks of your summer camp or overly-air conditioned office of your summer job, LOOK NO FURTHER. Summer reading satisfaction guaranteed!
The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker
Glory O'Brien's History of the Future by A.S. King
The troubling visions started when Ellie mixed the ashes of a long dead bat with some beer and convinced Glory to drink it. Suddenly both girls are seeing into the pasts and futures of every stranger they pass on the street, but it is only Glory who is getting terrifying glimpses of a second Civil War where women's rights disappear completely and the entire United States is thrown into poverty and chaos. It doesn't help that the visions start coming right on the heels of Glory's high school graduation, serving as a further reminder that she has no freaking idea what to do with her life. Her best friend Ellie, a modern day hippie who lives on the commune next door, is too busy chasing boys and dealing with the unwelcome surprise of an STD to have an opinion, while Glory's father, a virtual shut-in since Glory's mother Darla committed suicide years ago, can't move forward in his own life, let alone help Glory with hers. So Glory retreats to her dead mother's photo developing darkroom, where she finds a hidden portfolio of pictures and starts to piece together the puzzle of her family's past in order to make some sense of the dead bat visions and her own uncertain future. This is not a read-all-in-one-sitting story with a page-turning plot, but rather a novel of ideas that deserves patience and contemplation as readers ponder their own personal and intellectual journeys as they travel along with Glory on hers. In other words, it's a novel that could only be conceived and written by the whip-smart A.S. King. Coming to a library, bookstore or e-reader near you October 2014. While you wait, check out the rest of King's semi-surreal backlist, along with the one of the most bonkers, bizarre road trip books ever, Going Bovine by Libba Bray.
Up All Night edited by Laura Geringer
It's summer and I've been cleaning out bookshelves and I came across this marvelous collection of short stories that had somehow drifted to the back. I'm shocked that I didn't post about this title before, as it contains narratives by some of my absolute favorite authors, like Libba Bray and Patricia McCormick. I decided to rectify that immediately, since it's also the perfect season for stories about being up all night. July and August are the months when schedules become fluid and the freedom of the warm weather lures us into all kinds of situations that we'd never even consider during the cold busy school months. In Libba Bray's "Not Just for Breakfast Anymore," Maggie and her friends try to forget all their troubles at a Cheap Trick concert, but discover that no amount of booze, drugs and rock and roll will erase the truth of their messy lives. In "Orange Alert" by Patty McCormick, a teen girl sneaks out of her house and practices driving at night in order to escape her lecherous stepdad, finding the strength to defy him on the road. David Levithan imagines a warm Manhattan night where a chorus of teens finally confess how they really feel underneath their carefully constructed public faces, while Sarah Weeks focuses in on an intimate interaction between two brothers over the death of the little brother's pet mouse in "Superman is Dead." Rounding out this stellar assortment is a paranormal family drama by Peter Abrahams and a short comic by rockstar graphic novelist Gene Luen Yang. Be sure to check out this awesome anthology as you begin to plan your own summer night excursions!
The Undertaking of Lily Chen by Danica Novgorodoff
When Deshi Li's irresponsible older brother Wei is killed in a tragic accident, his parents charge Deshi with finding him a corpse bride, a dead female body to accompany him into the afterlife. Stricken with grief and guilt, Deshi complies, hiring a black market body dealer named Song to help him secure a girl who's not too long gone in her grave. But when the two men are startled at the graveyard and become separated, Deshi runs into Lily, a rural girl desperate to escape an arranged marriage who's looking for a free ride to Beijing. The two team up on the road, and Deshi finds his thoughts going to dark places. Should he just murder Lily and take her body home to his parents? But how can he, when each day he delays killing her in sleep he falls deeper in love with her? Meanwhile, Lily's father and crooked Song are hot on their trail, each hoping to exact their own special brand of revenge. This beautifully illustrated modern fable of love and death hooked me from the very first sentence with an original plot grown from the rich soil of Chinese folklore. Author illustrator Danica Novgorodoff (Refresh, Refresh) tells Deshi and Lily's story through sparkling, darkly humorous dialogue and lavish watercolor panels that take your breath away with each turn of the page. You'll want to hightail it to a library or bookstore near you ASAP in order to experience this fantastic journey for yourself.
Mortal Heart: His Fair Assassins, bk. 3 by Robin LaFevers
Annith is tired of waiting. It seems like her whole life has been an exercise in patience as she has watched the head Abbess of the Convent of St. Mortain, god of Death, send out her sisters on dangerous assignments while she tends the home fires and trains endlessly. Her fellow assassin nuns Ismae and Sybella have already been sent out on dangerous missions and Annith is dying to join them. But then the Abbess informs her that she is destined to take over the role of convent Seeress, a role that demands she remain confined forever in a tiny room where she will use tools of prophecy to foretell the exciting lives of others while never experiencing any of it for herself. Furious, Annith rejects the Abbess's command and sets out to find her sisters and avenge the death of a young novice who the Abbess sent out too soon. Along the way she becomes entangled with the terrifying Hellequins, "tasked with collecting the souls of the wicked" and delivering them to the underworld; befriends the Arduinnites, a group of warrior women sworn to protect the young and the weak; and finally even meets and attends the young duchess of Brittany herself, who is readying for a war with the French that looks utterly un-winnable. But now that Annith has tasted freedom, she is determined to do whatever she can to serve her sisters, her country and her god–except a troubling love affair with an unexpected suitor has her questioning her every move. Can Annith set aside her confusing feelings in order to join her sister nuns and their allies in one last desperate plot to save Brittany? While this third volume of His Fair Assassins trilogy follows a pattern that has become familiar to fans of the series, it is still an immensely satisfying read that concludes in a deeply gratifying manner. Though the publication date isn't until November 2014, this is one title that will make you thankful winter is coming!
TFiOS Super-Sized, Movie/Book Special DFTBA Post
It's finally here! The long-awaited movie version of John Green's bittersweet novel about life, love and cancer comes out this week–June 6 to be exact. Just like all the rest of you Nerdfighters and raving fans, my butt will be in the stadium seat of the closest theater that is playing TFiOS this weekend. I have been a John Green fan since WAAAAAYYY back and am thrilled to see some of his whip smart teen characters come to life on the big screen. To keep your excitement levels high (like you even need any help with that) check out the links below to all things John Green and TFiOS related.

Over Easy by Mimi Pond
As the 1970's are coming to a close, Margaret is in a post-college slump, trying to figure out where she fits in as a female pop culture cartoonist between the aging hippies and the new punkers. Then she stumbles into the Imperial Café, a diner full of sardonic waitresses, surly cooks and outsider customers that suddenly feels like home. "…I can tell there is something about this place. It feels like I am in a movie, a very interesting and exciting movie, an independent feature in which I play a smack but key role. I have to stay to find out how it's going to end." After telling a dirty joke that impresses the manager, Margaret scores a dishwashing job, new name ("Madge") and a front row seat to the diner's never ending drama. Customers and employees break up and make up, take drugs, get sober and then start all over again. Throughout the pale, aqua blue watercolor washed pages, Madge figures out the rules of adulthood, first by watching, and then by taking part in the noisy, vital, flamboyant life of the Imperial Café. I love slice of life stories that investigate a cross section of society in great detail, and this graphic memoir about the crazy, sexy petri dish of a busy diner is a great example. If you like OVER EASY, try these other great foodie fictions that are about way more than chopping and sauteeing: Last Night at the Lobster and Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe And for more on Mimi Pond, head over to this great interview at School Library Journal.
Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina
When Piddy Sanchez hears that "Yaqui Delgado wants to kick your ass," she's stunned. What could she have possibly done at her new high school to anger a girl she's never even met? Piddy doesn't really need this aggravation on top of keeping up her high grade point, working weekends at Salon Corazon and navigating a sexy but strange new relationship with her old neighbor and ex-nemesis Joey Halper. What is Yaqui's problem with her anyway? Piddy is never sure, but her mother's best friend Lila has a theory: "You're going to be better than that, and that's what kills her, Piddy. That's what makes her burn with hate. She can already see you're winning. You're going to get an education and use your brain…Ay, Piddy, one day you'll be so far away from Parsons Boulevard, you'll think you dreamed this hellhole." But as the situation escalates from a thrown milk carton in the cafeteria to an actual showdown on the street, Piddy realizes she's going to have to do something drastic. But what? Does she dare narc on the meanest girl in school? And what will happen if she does? Friends, I have a new book crush and it's Piddy Sanchez. Piddy's heartbreakingly real struggles to extricate herself from Yaqui's senseless bullying will ring true to anyone who's ever been a target, and inspire anyone who's ever witnessed bullying to stand up and speak out. The infusion of Latino/a culture and the setting of Queens, New York were especially interesting to this New York reader as I never see enough books featuring characters of color in urban settings where their background isn't the main focus of the story. Get your a** in gear and check this one out of your local public or school library ASAP!
The Shadow Hero by Gene Luen Yang & Sonny Liew
After Hank's mother is attacked at gunpoint by a bank robber in 1940's California, she becomes obsessed with one thing, and one thing only—that nineteen year old Hank become a superhero just like the Anchor of Justice who rescued her. Except Hank had been looking forward to taking over his father's small Chinatown grocery store and living "a happy life, a fortunate life, filled with friends and Mahjong and maybe even a little whiskey." But Hank's bossy mother won't relent, making him a green superhero suit, dubbing him The Golden Man of Bravery and setting him up with kung fu lessons with Uncle Wun Too. Soon Hank is getting into the swing of things, especially after his combat training starts to kick in. But when Mock Beak, the king of organized crime in Chinatown, threatens his father and Hank tries to intervene, the results are disastrous. Maybe he's not cut out to be a superhero after all. It's only after he's visited by the kind and ancient spirit of Turtle that Hank discovers his true calling as Green Turtle, a Chinese superhero impervious to bullets and ready to take on the entire organized crime empire known as The Tong of Sticks. He just didn't count on falling for his archenemy's beautiful daughter… I absolutely adored this funny, big-hearted GN that melds fact, fiction and folklore into a delectable Turtle soup! The Shadow Hero is an inspired origin story based on the actual Green Turtle from the 1940's who failed to take off because supposedly publishers at that time didn't think that "a Chinese superhero would sell," and wouldn't let his creator Chu Hing give him Asian features. Click here to listen to author Gene Luen Yang explain the fascinating backstory behind Green Turtle and The Shadow Hero. Coming to a library, bookstore or e-reader near you July 2014.

TPAO makes a surprise in Afghanistan
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
The Afghan government says it has shortlisted companies from Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey for a major oil and gas exploration project, a step in the country's quest to reap revenues from its vast untapped mineral and energy resources.
Minister of Mines Wahidullah Shahrani said Monday that bids from Dubai's Dragon Oil, Kuwait Energy, and the Turkish Petroleum Corp. have been selected for the tender involving exploration rights in the Tajik Basin in northern Afghanistan.
The basin's oil reserves are estimated at more than 1 billion barrels. The government vowed the bids will be considered in a "thorough, transparent, and fair bidding process until the announcement of the results of the evaluation process."
The statement said the contract would be signed in March.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY Fla.- The Englewood Rotary Club boasts of having the biggest fireworks display in the area. "We know for a fact that ours will be the largest show on the west coast," said Ray LaBadie, Vice President of the fireworks committee. But right now, the rotary club has only raised about half the money they need to pay for the event. According to LaBadie, they are looking to raise thirty five thousand dollars for this years Fourth of July celebration. To help generate those funds, the club put donation buckets in the shape of holiday rockets in some of the local businesses.
Across the harbor in Punta Gorda things aren't looking much better. Organizers there say they are only about half way to their goal of thirty thousand dollars for their fireworks display. Ron Thomas who owns the Tropical Store at the Laishley Marina even donated a unique sculpted bench to raffle off, in hopes of raising five thousand dollars toward the city's fireworks goal. Thomas says that a lot of thought went into the ticket price for the unique prize. "Were doing one dollar tickets it's a dollar- you could take this bench home for a dollar," he said. Both men admit the strained economy is not helping but they insist whatever happens, their communities will have fireworks on Independence Day.
Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Bonita Springs all told WINK News that they are fully funded for their displays on the holiday. Sanibel Island says that they are not quite at their funding goal but they are confident that they will be ready on the Fourth of July.

Art gallery owner charged with theft
Date: August 28, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The owner of a St. Armands Circle art gallery has been charged with selling more than $250,000 worth of art on consignment and not paying the owners of those works of art.
Robert Preiss, owner of R&R Bond Gallery, was arrested Aug. 28 on grand theft and scheme to defraud charges.
Police say he sold several pieces of art, including the Salvador Dali sculpture, "Winged Triton 2/19," and never told the owners that they were sold and kept the proceeds for himself.
Preiss was jailed on a $25,000 bond.

- This case bears striking similarity to the case of Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama V. Tamara Bane Gallery (owned by Robert Bane and Tamara Feuer-Bane). this case was reported in the LA Times in between the 2007 federal court trial and bankruptcy. In this case, that has dragged on for years in Chapter 7, Bane et al committed numerous art and financial frauds including embezzling. Like, Salander, Bane and his wife live a lavish lifestyle in a Beverly Hills compound and there is extensive first class traveling abroad. The art fraudsters really know how to abuse the system in particular the courts' process that they cut holes in. Google "Tamara Bane Gallery" or visit sorayama.net

Motherland Lyrics - Natalie Merchant
Review The Song (7)
Where in hell can you go
Far from the things that you know
Far from the sprawl of concrete
That keeps crawling its way
About 1,000 miles a day?
Take one last look behind
Commit this to memory and mind
Don't miss this wasteland, this terrible place
When you leave
Keep your heart off your sleeve
Motherland cradle me
Close my eyes
Lullaby me to sleep
Keep me safe
Lie with me
Stay beside me
Don't go, don't you go
O, my five & dime queen
Tell me what have you seen?
The lust and the avarice
The bottomless, the cavernous greed
Is that what you see?
Motherland cradle me
Close my eyes
Lullaby me to sleep
Keep me safe
Lie with me
Stay beside me
Don't go
It's your happiness I want most of all
And for that I'd do anything at all, o mercy me!
If you want the best of it or the most of all
If there's anything I can do at all
Now come on shot gun bride
What makes me envy your life?
Faceless, nameless, innocent, blameless and free,
What's that like to be?
Motherland cradle me
Close my eyes
Lullaby me to sleep
Keep me safe
Lie with me
Stay beside me
Don't go, don't you go

Old soldiers never die | Reviewer: Mrs I Schuster | 1/12/12
This song, in conjunction with the film "Warhorse" is full of longings for a better world; and brings with it memories of my father, who was takaen off the field in the first war in a shroud - but lived...he talked little of of the battle, but how he loved his horse, Bessie, and every time I get with horses I want to cry because he is still so fresh in my mind.
Haunting and Beautiful | Reviewer: Eric B. | 5/22/11
This song--Motherland--is in my view transcendent. Its haunting, yet simple, lyricism is deep and rich--yet cutting in its social critique. There are only a few times when an artist--in this case, Natalie Merchant--so deeply speaks to the zeitgeist and dilemma of our modern lives. For me, this song vaults to the top pantheon of my all time top 10 list! Thank you Natalie Merchant for your beautiful contribution and work of art--truly inspired!
Absolutlely Perfect | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/10/09
Natalie Mercant writes and delivers so eloquantly; she does not dissappoint. We are willing to embrace sad but universal truths because we are allowed a mother to take some of the smack out, as only good mothers can do.
Even in the face of our ugly greedy humanness, the unconditional mother rocks humanity. This particularlar song confronts morethan our careless destruction of gifts so freely given by "Mother Earth " The song is a reflection of poor childlike behavior and then begging for the thing we have hurt most to comfort us. Only a mother (land) can appreciate every aspect of the wreckless child and still lull them to sleep, ease their pain, if only for a moment.
Ironically, I pray this song lives to give warning and sooth
many ages; true art tends to have this effect. The Muse lives well with her artist and friend.
Don't miss this wasteland | Reviewer: David | 2/2/09
Brilliant. Arresting though simple. I can't say enough about this song. I lost the cd years ago and can still remember every word. I just love it. Sad, but I often feel regret, as if it is too late for all of us- something echoed by her lyrics.
All Development Must be Questioned | Reviewer: AUNTY DEVELOPMENT | 2/5/08
This song is one that questions where we are going. With nature dissappearing and concrete taking ovewr the planet what will we leave for futire generations. Good to see opposing side to big business.
It's refreshing to hear a song load with lyrics thathave meaning other than most of today's popular artists that are obsessed with their own id trhat they don't even see the world around them.
Soulful and true | Reviewer: Michelle S. | 7/5/07
Isn't it an amazing feeling when you find that song on a CD that you have to play over and over because it moves you to the point that you cannot leave that sound or those words? They happen once in a while and this is that unique song that captures the emotion of our times.
Such impact | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/7/05
Such impact from a song is rare these days in such a sweet lulabye....this is in my opinion the best tune on the CD.

Continental to combine passive safety with undercarriage and safety sensors
The strong market trend towards integration the ESC sensor functionality into the airbag control unit, Continental associated its inertial sensor business to its passenger safety division based in Regensburg. This move concentrates the strengths and expertise of both activities and enables continued growth. The goal is enabling further product innovations, Continental informed in a press release.
This newly combined business unit brings together widely separated activities. "The sensorics technologies have a positive impact on our future business of passive safety", said Bernhard Klumpp who oversees the new PSS division. "We will be a more powerful organisation and can offer sophisticated overall concepts with high efficiency and reliability".
According to Continental, the new PSS organization strengthens the chassis & safety system concept and addresses the customer's individual requirements across the globe. For instance, the Advanced Sensors & Satellites segment offers sensors that can be deployed in steering, undercarriage, brake and battery monitoring applications as well as acceleration and pressure satellite sensors that guarantee protection across the board in the case of an accident. Satellites are an essential element in passive safety systems and collaborate closely with the airbag controller.
In the portfolio of the Speed Sensors segment, wheel speed sensors for ABS and ESC systems can be found as well as engine and transmission tachometers enabling engineers to determine position, speed and rotational sense.
By taking the position at the helm of the Passive Safety & Sensors division, Bernhard Klumpp now holds the global responsibility for Continental's activities associated to undercarriage and safety sensorics as well as occupant protection. His career at Continental started in 2001; throughout this career he oversaw the Industrial Engineering Electronic Brake Systems segment, he was general manager for Continental's Mexican sensor production in Silao and Vice President of the Sensorics Business Center.

Looking For Deals Without A FlyerFebruary 16th, 2014 by Alan Yu
Recently most of the money saving deals I have found wasn't a result of looking at store flyers or searching various Internet sites. Instead, I have found them by simply browsing through stores during regular business hours and being surprised at the items they are trying to clear. In some ways it almost reminds me of like a Costco where you pretty much have to visit the store to see what the current deals are.
You would think this would take a long time, but after awhile you kind of know how various companies merchandise its best unadvertised deals. As well, you get to understand its pricing system to know what kind of sale it is. For example, for some stores if the price ends with a "7" that means it is on clearance sale. For example, seeing an item for "$9.97." With that in mind you can zip through the sections to quickly scan if anything is worth buying.
Many times too this is how you find deals where companies are testing to see how well a product will do and so they introduce it unadvertised at a very low rate. Another example was at another store I know that there are particular end caps where the business always puts the items that they want to clear at a low price versus ones that are designated to get people to buy impulsively. Once you understand the business strategies to it saving money and getting deals requires very little time.

This story feels like a ture-life novel instead of made-up fiction. The storyline begins with the main characters, Gwen and Rob, living and loving as a wonderfully married couple, anticipating the birth of their first child after several years of trying to conceive. Gwen, being a professional photographer, is working at home when her world falls apart. She tragically loses their son, Michael, and the ability to even try again. Consumed with grief, she is also soon faced with secrets from her husband's past where she learns of him having a son that he's never told her about. Follow their journey as they face all these twists and turns of decptions and learn to put their faith in their love for one another to heal and move forward. I really enjoyed getting to know these characters in this story. The author writes them so honestly that you feel like you could sit right down and talk with them. The story itself does turn out as expected, but there is enough twists involved to keep it flowing from page to page pretty quickly. The author did a wonderful job at making you feel the emotions involved along the way. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys contemporary fiction that includes genuine characters, story secrets, and overwhelming emotion. This is a must read! This book was kindly provided to me by it's wonderful author for my honest review.

The characters in this book were fantastic! They were believable, relatable, and I was able to easily connect and sympathize with each of them. The two main characters are Gwen and Rob; they start out as a happily married couple, but after a devastating miscarriage and Rob's shocking revelation their dream life is left in shambles. I felt so bad for Gwen. It's one thing to have a miscarriage after so many years of trying (and so late in the pregnancy too), but to be blindsided by a huge secret her husband had been keeping would be too much for anyone to deal with. She reacted exactly how I would assume someone would in that situation; she pretty much shuts down completely, mourning the son she'll never hold in her arms and slowly letting her marriage crumble. Even though Rob did a horrible thing by keeping the secret from Gwen, he had no idea it would reveal itself at the worst possible time when they already had so much to deal with. I felt bad for him too, because he didn't mean to hurt her and it's obvious how much he adored her and valued their marriage. When the story starts out, the narration is in 3rd person and switches back and forth between Gwen and Rob. Later on we also get a glimpse at another married couple, Deanna and Vincent, and their teenage son Brandon. I can't go into any detail about them, but let's just say they play a fairly big part in the story. There's also Justin Rappaport who was Gwen's close friend in college. It's obvious he has feelings for Gwen and sees her failing marriage as an opportunity to make his more. I thought it was really slimy of him to try to take advantage of the situation when Gwen had already been through so much. Romance Sizzle Or Fizzle: Ok, so this isn't really appropriate for this book, since Gwen and Rob are wondering the entire time if they will be able to salvage their marriage. I will say this though, even with all they were going through, it was obvious that they loved each other very much and if there was a way to make things right between them again they would find it. I wouldn't say the plot was especially unique; I know all of these issues have been in novels before. It didn't detract from my love for the book though because it was so well written. I already had the secrets and mysteries figured out early on, so there weren't a whole lot of shockers for me while reading; it didn't make me want to stop reading though and I really loved the ending. Overall this book was a really fantastic read, full of heartbreak, secrets, and it shows that love has the power to heal.
