Article: Identification of FOXP2 truncation as a novel cause of developmental speech and language deficits.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: FOXP2, the first gene to have been implicated in a developmental communication disorder, offers a unique entry point into neuromolecular mechanisms influencing human speech and language acquisition. In multiple members of the well-studied KE family, a heterozygous missense mutation in FOXP2 causes problems in sequencing muscle movements required for articulating speech (developmental verbal dyspraxia), accompanied by wider deficits in linguistic and grammatical processing. Chromosomal rearrangements involving this locus have also been identified. Analyses of FOXP2 coding sequence in typical forms of specific language impairment (SLI), autism, and dyslexia have not uncovered any etiological variants. However, no previous study has performed mutation screening of children with a primary diagnosis of verbal dyspraxia, the most overt feature of the disorder in affected members of the KE family. Here, we report investigations of the entire coding region of FOXP2, including alternatively spliced exons, in 49 probands affected with verbal dyspraxia. We detected variants that alter FOXP2 protein sequence in three probands. One such variant is a heterozygous nonsense mutation that yields a dramatically truncated protein product and cosegregates with speech and language difficulties in the proband, his affected sibling, and their mother. Our discovery of the first nonsense mutation in FOXP2 now opens the door for detailed investigations of neurodevelopment in people carrying different etiological variants of the gene. This endeavor will be crucial for gaining insight into the role of FOXP2 in human cognition.The American Journal of Human Genetics 07/2005; 76(6):1074-80. · 10.99 Impact Factor

Recent Naples reviews
"What else can I write?? In all the other reviews everything is said already!!!!! This was our 10th stay in Falling Waters and this condo was one of the best we experienced! It was very clean and so cozy. So beautiful furnished and very light! But the "careness" and kindness of the owners made it so special compared to the other ones. It has everything you need to make it an unforgetable vacation, even pool equipment, beach umbrellas and chairs etc!!! We`ll definitely be back, hopefully next summer!!!! THANK YOU SUE AND JAN FOR EVERYTHING! Stephanie & family"
"My wife and I stayed here for an extended weekend with my brother and his gf and had a wonderful time. The house was in immaculate condition and we had everything we could possibly have needed. The location was perfect. With the bikes the owners supplied, we were able to ride to shops, restaurants, and the beach without a problem. The heated pool was a nice bonus. Before we finished our stay, my wife was already thinking of when we could return next!"
"This unit was just perfect for our family of 6! The owners went above and beyond our expectations when it came to making every aspect of our stay enjoyable. They have everything you need...bicycles,beach toys, chairs, coolers, pool toys and floaties!! The unit itself was clean and the kitchen had everything that you need and the sleeping accommodations were excellent. We stayed for one month and look fwd to going back again."
Naples Travel Tips
Naples often brings to mind high-end shopping and world-class culture for travelers, but this family-friendly destination draws in thousands of nature and beach lovers each year. Plus, the area's desirable climate means there's never a bad time to visit.
Naples' history dates back to the late 1860s when Roger Gordon and Joe Wiggins arrived. Then, in 1887, Walter Haldeman and his associates purchased the town and began turning it into the Naples we know today. Celebrities including Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone and Gary Cooper all made a visit here, so this place has been attracting visitors for some time. You'll see the city's preservation of its past and the steps Naples locals are taking to keep it a top vacation destination for many years to come.
Naples Activities and Attractions
The city's location on the Gulf of Mexico means it offers plenty of beach access. There are 22 access areas in the Naples area which means you're guaranteed to find a relaxing place everyone in the family can enjoy. Whether you want to build sand castles, go for a swim or try out a new water sport, Naples is the place to do it. Some popular spots for a little fun in the sun include Parkshore Beach, Hideaway Beach, Naples Pier, Sanibel Causeway Beach and Lynn Hall Memorial Park.
Naples is also in close proximity to the Florida Everglades and Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical wilderness in the U.S. and protects the habitat of thousands of endangered animals including manatees, crocodiles and panthers. Ten Thousand Islands is also a national park and a nursery ground for a number of marine species. Visiting Ten Thousand Islands means you can explore places such as Turner River, Sandfly Island or Halfway Creek.
The Naples Zoo and Caribbean Gardens is the perfect place to take the kids during your stay. A ticket to the zoo includes a primate expedition cruise, Meet the Keeper series, Alligator Bay hand-feeding fun, all animal exhibits, Safari Canyon Theater Shows and the historic tropical garden. Animals at the zoo include lions, kangaroos and monkeys as well as more rare creatures such as the Asian deer that barks and eats meat.
You'll want to visit historic downtown Naples during your vacation. Winter visitors first started to flood the area in the 1930s at Fifth Avenue. When the city was in its early beginnings, there were only a few businesses downtown at the junction known as Four Corners. The occasional car would pass by and the train depot was built just a block away. As more visitors stopped in the city, it blossomed and the residents of Naples wanted to preserve the past so future generations could see where it all started.
Things to Do in Naples
Shopping: Naples is well known as a shopping destination and something you'll have to experience for yourself before you leave. The top spots in the city are located along Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South. Some of the stores you'll find on Fifth Avenue include Back of the Bay Boutique, The Wind in the Willows, Kay's on the Beach, Julie's of Naples and Island Trends. Third Street South has been a shopping mecca since the 1930s. In this historic part of the city there are stores selling apparel, art and antiques.
Dining: There are restaurants, cafes and bistros throughout the city that will satisfy whatever type of food you're craving. Third Street South and Fifth Street South remain the hot spots for dining locations but don't be afraid to check out some stops off the beaten path. When you meander down Third Street, visit places such as Handsome Harry's, Sea Salt and Jane's Cafe. Restaurants and cafes on Fifth Street include Bistro 821, Chops City Grill and Altin's Cafe and Grill.
Golfing: The Naples area is known as the "Golf Capital of the World," due to the more than 80 championship golf courses that are found here - obviously, you will have to problem working on your swing or finding a fairway. There are more holes per capita in Naples than in any other community, so don't forget to bring your clubs. There are a number of public access golf clubs and courses including High Point, Panther Run, Rivera, Vanderbilt, Links of Naples, Golden Gate and Cypress Woods.
Historic Sites: Among the various historic sites in the Naples area is the Naples Seaboard Air Line Railway Station. This depot is located off Fifth Avenue South and was constructed in 1927. The Collier County Museum restored it as the Naples Depot Museum and features railroads, dugout canoes and a swamp buggy. You can visit the Naples Historical Society's Historic Palm Cottage, the former summer home of Naples founder Watler Haldeman.

Front desk staff did not seem very happy, not a lot of smiles. Disapointed with the evening food available on site, or more to the point not available, we asked for two salads - not enough salad to do two, asked for two baked potatoes - that would take 30 minutes. Also maybe ask the cleaner to remove the mould from around the shower base in room 2.
Overall very nice.
Being an older couple the bed was too hard for us and we did not get a good night's sleep.
Proximity to airport. Friendly and helpful staff.
Very helpful friendly staff - we had to stay a bit longer the morning we checked out and they never made us feel as though we had to get out. Absolutely spotless room/ bathroom. Lovely light airy lounge. Good location within walking distance of the airport and Castletown.

Wasn't expecting breakfast
No mini bus to take you over to the airport at 5 in the morning. (in pouring rain!)

The menu was fairly basic, albeit inexpensive, well cooked and well presented. It was fine for a short stop-over.
Rooms are basic but clean and functional. Beds very comfy. You can get hot food at reception or phone out for a variety of takeaways. Alcohol and soft drinks available at reception. Breakfast basic but sufficient. Staff are exceptionally helpful - best i've come across.
Could may be do with a few more TV channels (Freeview please?). Also, face cloths in the bathroom would be good (i'm scraping the barrel for negatives here!)
Valentine welcomed us and cooked us just what needed after a rough ferry crossing
The bed was a bit hard
BED COVERS trying to keep them on too small ROOMS too small, we had a twin and there was not enough room to move around
The one thing I will remember for ever is Richard on reception . What a lovely guy , he went out of his way to help me with maps etc and give me leads for my business travel and just as a whole a genuine lovely person .

Phillies promote Amaro, 43, to GM with three-year deal
PHILADELPHIA -- With the enviable task of repeating as World Series champions ahead of them, the Philadelphia Phillies turned to a former bat boy to take over as their general manager.
Ruben Amaro Jr. signed a three-year contract Monday to become general manager of the Phillies a quarter-century after he was handing lumber to Hall of Famers Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton as a starry-eyed teen.
Amaro just completed his 10th season as assistant Phillies GM and replaces the retiring Pat Gillick, who will remain with the team as an adviser.
The team announced the move five days after beating the Tampa Bay Rays for its second title in franchise history.
"Pat, you've made it a little tough for me, a tough act to follow," Amaro told Gillick at a news conference.
The 43-year-old Amaro, whose father Ruben Amaro Sr. was a Phillies shortstop from 1960-65 and first-base coach for the club, recalled being around Schmidt, reliever Tug McGraw and shortstop Larry Bowa as a bat boy from 1980-83 -- in 1980 the Phillies won the only other championship in their 126-year history.
He later spent parts of eight seasons as a major league player, including a stint with the 1993 Phillies team that lost to the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series.
Amaro worked under former GM Ed Wade for seven seasons and the last three with Gillick. He was considered the front-runner for the job after Gillick said this would be his last season -- despite pleas from ownership to get him to stay.
"Our goals will remain the same and that's to bring championships here to Philadelphia," Amaro said. "The biggest challenge is to repeat. That's the biggest challenge in baseball."
Amaro got the nod over Mike Arbuckle, another assistant GM who spent the last 15 years with the Phillies. Arbuckle, who led the team's scouting efforts, will not be returning next year, team president Dave Montgomery said.
Arbuckle oversaw a farm system that produced much of the Phillies' current core, including shortstop Jimmy Rollins, second baseman Chase Utley, first baseman Ryan Howard and pitcher Cole Hamels, the World Series MVP.
Montgomery said he had a "difficult" conversation with Arbuckle on Saturday, telling him that Amaro would be getting the job. Arbuckle said he wanted to be a general manager and would be pursuing other opportunities.
Under Gillick, the Phillies won two division titles before advancing to the World Series this year. The 71-year-old has a long track record as GM of the Blue Jays (1978-94), Baltimore Orioles (1996-98), Seattle Mariners (2000-03) and Phillies. He won two titles with Toronto, including the 1993 win over the Phillies.
In Philadelphia, he traded for closer Brad Lidge last offseason and made a late move for Oakland Athletics starter Joe Blanton. Lidge was perfect in save situations in both the regular and postseason, while Blanton went 2-0 in three postseason starts.
But not all of Gillick's trades worked so well, notably the acquisition of the very expensive pitcher Freddy Garcia, who won just one game before being shut down with a shoulder injury.
Amaro has many decisions to make as he gets ready to head to this week's general managers' meetings in Dana Point, Calif.
He will have to decide whether to bring back left fielder Pat Burrell and soon-to-be 46-year-old pitcher Jamie Moyer. He will also have to consider possible long-term contracts for Hamels and MVP candidate Howard.
Burrell, who hit .250 with 33 homers and 86 RBIs in the regular season, wants to return. So does Moyer, who had a team-best 16 wins.
The 32-year-old Burrell made $14 million this season and will likely get a more lucrative free-agent offer from another team.
Amaro, a Stanford University graduate whose father wanted him to be a doctor or a soccer player, said he was still trying to soak it all in.
"It's a little surreal," he said. "For the life of me, I would have never thought I would have been in this position."

I just got a couple of Pin Lock kegs. The o-rings are sticky so I think it may have had soda in them before so I will replace those but how do I know if the poppits need to be replaced to?
take them out, look at them and see if the rubber seals look worn out. If in doubt, replace them. Its a real pain to deal with bad poppits once the brew is in the keg.
Rig a way to presurize the keg with air. If the poppet leaks, despite using a little keg lube, replace it. Life is too short to have a weak, leaky, poppet.
+1 pressurize and check. I would still replace the O rings, regardless, but this way you know id you need to order poppets as well.

Metta: The Practice of Loving Kindness. ~ Barry H. Gillespie
Metta is one of the four great virtues.
Along with compassion (karuna), sympathetic joy (mudita) and equanimity (upeka), the Buddha encouraged everyone to perfect these. Besides the usual translation, ŌĆ£loving kindness,ŌĆØ metta might also be translated as ŌĆ£good will,ŌĆØ having an attitude of good will towards all beings.
This is opposed to an attitude of ill-will, or wishing that individuals, or groups of people or even entire nations suffer.
On the face of it, this seems pretty simple. We all like to think that we are good people, that we donŌĆÖt have a problem in this area.
The truth is we all do.
We all have reactive mental patterns that cause us to respond to certain people, or in certain situations, with thoughts and even words and actions that express ill will, and that cause suffering to arise, both for ourselves and others.
So what can be done about this situation?
It would be nice if we could simply resolve not to think or speak or act in unkind ways, but we all know that that isnŌĆÖt enough, that we easily slip back into our old reactive patterns.
Loving kindness is something that we have to cultivate, to practice.
How can we practice something so elusive?
The Buddha was both precise and poetic. In the Metta Sutta he says two interesting things. First, how intense should this practice be:
ŌĆ£Even as a mother protects with her life
Her child, her only child,
So with a boundless heart
Should one cherish all living beings.ŌĆØ
In other words, as intense as you can imagine.
As for when we should practice metta the Buddha is equally clear.
ŌĆ£Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down
Free from drowsiness,
One should sustain this recollection.ŌĆØ
In other words, all the time.
This seems like a tall order, but fortunately there is a very simple place to begin. The Theravaden Buddhist tradition has a form of metta that one can take up as a meditation practice in conjunction with vipassana practice. The practice is simple yet powerful, opening the practitionerŌĆÖs heart while taking him/her to very deep states of concentration. While holding a particular person in your heart/mind, and visualizing them in a happy state, you repeat the following four phrases over and over.
May you be safe.
May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you live with ease.
Basically you are saying that you want this person to have optimal conditions for a good life in this world. When you are repeating the phrases and your mind wanders, simply start over at the beginning.
It is always useful to say these phrases for yourself, usually first in fact.
If you canŌĆÖt have thoughts of loving kindness for yourself, a condition of almost epidemic proportions in our culture, how can you have those feelings for others. Just replace the ŌĆ£youŌĆØ in the phrases with ŌĆ£I.ŌĆØ What we are doing with the practice is literally filling our minds with thoughts of loving kindness, temporarily replacing and thus weakening the old reactive patterns of ill-will.
Now it is time for ŌĆ£full disclosure.ŌĆØWhen I first encountered this practice about 12 years ago my reaction was basically ŌĆ£EewwŌĆ"how hippie-dippie, how new agey.ŌĆØ This stuff wasnŌĆÖt for me. I wanted to do real meditation practice.
On my first 10-day sit at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, MA, where we did one 45-minute sitting period of metta every day, I literally couldnŌĆÖt stand it, and would leave the mediation hall and do some yoga, something useful as I then saw it.
As time went on, and I did more intense practice, and longer retreats, I learned to tolerate the practice, I wouldnŌĆÖt leave the hall and would try my best to follow the instructions, but there was always a huge ŌĆ£yes but ŌĆ"ŌĆØ in my mind. All of my teachers spoke highly of metta, so there must be something to it. When I confided in various teachers they all encouraged me to hang in, but I just didnŌĆÖt get it, or so I thought.
Then one day Guy Armstrong, a teacher I have huge respect for, said two things that really stunned me. (You have to understand that Guy is a huge intellect, giving clear precise talks on all aspects of the dhamma.) His explanations and teachings on Vipassana were perfect for me.
This particular day he was speaking about metta, and he said ŌĆ£On a three month retreat I did nothing but metta.ŌĆØ I thought, ŌĆ£What, Mr. Intellectual ŌĆ" three months of mettaŌĆ" whoa.ŌĆØ Then he said, ŌĆ£And after that my only practice for a year and a half was metta.ŌĆØ
I was completely floored.
HeŌĆÖd gotten my attention.
I decided that on my next month long retreat IŌĆÖd do a month of metta, so I could figure it out.
The next winter, with much trepidation and no real idea of what I was getting myself into, I started off, luckily under the guidance of Guy. He gently but firmly led me deeper and deeper into the practice.
It was incredible.
I went into the deepest states of concentration IŌĆÖd ever been in. I went around with a huge smile on my face most of the time, or so it seemed. But even after a month I wasnŌĆÖt sure about this ŌĆ£opening the heartŌĆØ stuff. ItŌĆÖs easy to feel benevolent in a retreat situation.
A few days after he retreat ended, back home in Boulder once again, something happened that taught me clearly how open the month of metta practice had made me.
I went to Whole Foods to shop for a few groceries. I intentionally went around 11:00 am, when it isnŌĆÖt so busy. So there I was wandering around in the store, putting the 10 or so things I needed in my basket, when I came across a mother with a child in cart. I smiled at the child, and the child smiled back. I made a silly face and the child smiled some more. The mother tuned in to what was happening, we smiled at each other, and I went back to the child.
Now if youŌĆÖve ever been in Whole Foods at that time of day youŌĆÖll know that the place is full of parents with their small children, so this happened not once, but over and over again. Sometimes IŌĆÖd even
talk to the child or the parent. Every child reacted to me with happiness, and no parent seemed at all concerned about this weird guy playing with their child in the canned foods aisle. It took me almost half an hour to get the 10 things IŌĆÖd gone for.
Afterwards, reflecting on what had just happened as I drove home, I thought ŌĆ£Yup, this metta stuff really does work!ŌĆØ
Barry H. Gillespie was introduced to formal meditation practice in 1978, through the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashram. After taking a combined Ashtanga and Vipassana retreat with Richard Freeman and Wendy Zerin in 1999 he began exploring Theravaden Buddhist practice, sitting many long retreats at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, MA and Spirit Rock in Woodacre, CA. His teaching arises out of his desire to share what he has learned with others.
He will be teaching a daylong Metta retreat at the Yoga Workshop in Boulder, CO on Saturday, June 16. He can be reached at email@example.com.

I'm having a bit of trouble in my attempts to learn WXWidgets. I'm currently trying to work with file Dialogs, and I've got one opening just fine. But I run into trouble whenever I try to apply styles to the window. I get an undeclared identifier for whatever style I use.
My code is as follows (yes, I know, hello world app. I'm experimenting with all the things I need to learn to do before actually making a fully fledged app)
#include "wx/wx.h"
#include "wx/filedlg.h"
#include "HelloWorldApp.h"
bool HelloWorldApp::OnInit()
wxFrame *frame = new wxFrame((wxFrame*) NULL, -1, _T("Hello wxWidgets World"));
wxFileDialog* OpenDialog = new wxFileDialog(frame, _("Choose a file to open"), wxEmptyString, wxEmptyString,
_("Image Files (*.jpg, *.png, *.gif, *.bmp)|*.jpg;*.png;*.gif;*.bmp|Sound Files (*.wav, *.mp3)|*.wav;*.mp3"),
return true;
It runs just fine without the "wxFD_MULTIPLE" argument. I'm using version 2.8.12 of wxWidgets.
Thanks for reading. I really appreciate any help or guidance anyone can give. Sorry if it's something really obvious I'm missing.

Latest Cockatoo Stories
The Indonesian Parrot Project and Konservasi Kakatua Indonesia have been working fervently
The ability to represent and to track the trajectory of objects, which are temporally out of sight, is highly important in many aspects but is also cognitively demanding.
Researchers have trained Goffin's cockatoos to unlock a series of complex locks for food, demonstrating that the birds are capable of learning and completing long, complex tasks for rewards.
Foster Parrots thanks Animal Support and its co-founders Michael Omidi and Julian Omidi for their help and adoption of recently rescued cockatoo named Ziggy.
A Goffin's cockatoo, a species not known for tool use in the wild, has been observed spontaneously making and using tools for reaching food and other objects.
Police in New York state said a woman who became stuck up to her waist in mud while chasing her pet cockatoo managed to dig herself out. New York State Police said the 55-year-old Cortlandt woman chased her pet bird when it flew from her home and headed toward the woods just after 1 p.m.
A former firefighter in Maryland rendered mute by a car accident says a pair of talkative pet parrots helped him regain his speech. Brian Wilson of Damascus, Md., gives credit to the birds for their determination to keep talking to him, eventually prompting his damaged brain to respond in kind.
By Lenita Sulthani CIKANANGA, Indonesia (Reuters) - Looking irritated, Indonesian animal trainer Alen tries to ignore the loud shrieks of "good morning" coming from white cockatoos in an outdoor cage.

Employment numbers remain weak in the overall economy, and in the healcare business in particular, but the need for temporary help is forcing healthcare entrepreneurs to dig deeper into their pockets.
To attract big talent, healthcare business owners need to think big. Here are some ways to get the best high-level hires for medical device startups and other young companies.
If a healthcare business owner tracks employees' social media activity, it requires striking a balance between company reputation monitoring and employee privacy.
Making new medical discoveries is the lifeblood of the healthcare startup world. That's why the National Institutes of Health wants to lend a hand with a new training program for tomorrow's research geniuses.
How can healthcare CEOs train the next generation of company leaders? One study suggests training is best done with a healthy dose of no-nonsense straight talk in a one-on-one setting.
New healthcare businesses may find online communications a great tool for efficiency, but studies suggest hiring is best done the old-fashioned way. Read more about job candidates lying online.
Leave it to a Harvard Business School graduate to come up with a great idea for healthcare entrepreneurs. It's a service that pre-screens job candidates via video using your questions so you don't have to.

NEW EOBR from uDrove!
The U.S. Congress has passed the MAP 21 Transportation bill that requires drivers to track their hours of service using electronic logging devices. All truck drivers in the U.S. and Canada who drive more than 100 air miles from their home base must maintain driver logs. These logs are monitored by federal authorities to ensure that drivers are not exceeding their time on duty or driving hours. An Electronic On Board Recorder (EOBR) fleet solution automates Hours of Service reporting. If you are required to file a record of duty status (RODS), this mandate affects you.
When the FMCSA first made its cost assumptions for requiring the use of EOBR, it used a popular device in the marketplace that a number of large fleets had adopted as a fleet management and electronic logging solution. The price for the hardware of this device was estimated at $1,675, according to the Preliminary Regulatory Impact Analysis. Smaller companies and owner operators that wanted a Fleet Management System to help reduce operating expenses, simplify business management, and improve driver habits could never justify the expense of purchasing the equipment, or committing to a long term contract. uDrove has built a solution for companies that is affordable and easy to use, minus the contracts.
While implementing an EOBR system in your fleet does require an initial investment, the long term benefits outweigh the costs incurred up front. Hours Of Service violations are virtually eliminated and Fuel/Mileage tracking is done electronically, simplifying IFTA reporting and reducing driver error. Not only does uDrove eliminate driver error but we have integrated with PC Miler to give our customers access to real-time date for a single truck, a group of trucks, or an entire fleet's in-state and interstate mileage, with automated reports for fast and efficient compliance with state and federal tax regulations.
Using smart phone technology, drivers can also maintain their fuel and business expenses electronically. By taking a picture of fuel and expense receipts, anything a driver spends money on can be captured and kept on their web account at uDrove.com.
uDrove provides companies a simple, cost-effective solution that truckers can purchase pre-mandate, and still have it make sense financially. They came into the market well before the MAP 21 Transportation bill was proposed and passed. With the data received from the EOBR and the capabilities of the smart phone, companies realize their R.O.I. (return on investment) almost instantly.
For more information on uDrove's EOBR please contact 888-983-7683 or visit eobr.udrove.com

SarasotaCook's Note:
This is just a PRETTY salad. I like to serve this in a glass bowl so you can see the layers. Now obviously you can just toss it all together, but for a dinner party or pot luck dinner, this is just really nice. Simple ingredients and it goes together in just minutes. Now I use my basic vinaigrette which you will have a little left over, or if you want just use a good store bought dressing. My secret for this salad is to add a little honey to the dressing that goes really well with the pears and the cranberries. You could always add a little honey to a store bought dressing to achieve the same taste.
My Private Note
Serves: 6-8
Individ ...
Units: US | Metric
- 1/2 head romaine lettuce (torn or cut into bite size pieces)

- 1 1/2 cups feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette

Hewlett-Packard holds a solid first place with a dollar share of 43.4 percent of the desktop market, a full 17.7 percent ahead of its next-in-line desktop competitor, Lenovo. Though HP may have a strong lead, it did take a dip from its 44.8 percent dollar share in March of 2012. The most purchased desktop from HP as of March was the Pro 6305 (pictured) from HP's enterprise-focused, graphic-friendly Pro 6000 series. Following in popularity is the 8300 Elite from HP's sleek-form Elite line, targeting businesses in need of a smaller form-factor desktop. Finally, the Pro 3500 desktop solution appears to be a common budget-friendly option.

- "A drawing error occurred".
Never mind, it worked now. Not a good start - Walkers deals that are more expensive than supermarkets. The Doritos deal is bad - I think all the "big 4" supermarkets are cheaper than that at the moment for them!
Edited By: junk4 on Jun 14, 2012 11:45 - junk4"A drawing error occurred".
i got that , so i clicked ok and then it came up - Why has this been moved to Vouchers? You don't physically need any of them to print, the discount is automatic at the till instore.
- Thanks for the report. just reviewing the link further it does say :
"There is no need to cut out the coupons, you just need to bring this book to the checkout"
so you do appear to need to print off a copy to get the discounts according to their terms, not sure how strictly this is enforced store to store :)
Edited By: sigma on Jun 14, 2012 11:57 - Never seen it happen. The discounts are all posted with the items instore, there's no need to hand anything over. This is also just a scan of the leaflet you get instore anyway or sent in the post, it's just a 'heads up' same as any supermarket leaflet you get through the door. :)
This was left in Deals last month, and it's the same thing: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/costco-offers-vaid-from-21st-10th-june-2012-1220467
Edited By: junk4 on Jun 14, 2012 11:58 - Thanks for this - we are part of a business account and don't get the brochures sent - it's great to see them here! Cheers!!
- Can you only go to costco if you are part of business ?
- Not necessarily, but you have to be a registered member of certain professions otherwise.
http://www.costco.co.uk/membership/ - You don't need to be a business or a profession for a costco account anymore, they have opened it to the public but its £30 to join. Makro on the other hand u need to get through a business or a profession to obtain a card but that membership is free
- and Makro becomes Booker as they sold out the UK business to them

Eager to shrug off their reputation as chillout bores, Groove Armada have stepped up their game with a couple of recent killer singles. 'Get Down' gives a spring-loaded platform to the awesomely elastic vocal talents of grime MC Lady Stush, and the brilliant 'Song 4 Mutya (Out Of Control)' is the best thing committed to wax by any current or former Sugababe since 'Overload'. Groove Armada spoil their broth with a deluge of unnecessary collaborations – Candi Staton is only here for spurious soul credibility and who needs to hear the melodica skills of Hard-Fi's Rich Archer? – but there are enough moments of peachy, cinematic electro-soul on 'Soundboy Rock' to make any dinner party seem like a survivable prospect.

I'm glad there are other people using the Impossible film. How is that Silver Shade? I've only used the Push color film.

Total Bummer-Sauce with my new Nexus 5!!!
Got my luscious new Nexus 5 today and everything was sweet until tried to make a phone call. I called my wife to test the AT&T network. Phone call wasn't dialing...I waited a few seconds...Still nothing. I then put the phone on speakerphone and promply hear my wife screaming obscenities at me about always calling and never saying anything or paying attention to her or something like that.
Anyways, I call google and they apologize and say they are sending a replacement in 3-5 days. Isn't that about the biggest bummer news ever? I'd feel bad, but this phone is so sweet, people are just gonna have to deal with my calls on speakerphone until the replacement comes. -

Re: Total Bummer-Sauce with my new Nexus 5!!!
Are you without a phone? Did you have to send your back before you got your replacement?
- 11-04-2013, 03:52 PM Thread Author #6
Re: Total Bummer-Sauce with my new Nexus 5!!!
Not without phone, but google just stated that my expected replacement phone will arrive in 3-4 weeks and that I can return the defective phone when my replacement unit arrives. Essentially, Google just told me, "Sorry we've sent you a defective phone, please wait 3-4 weeks as punishment". Total bummer. I'm gonna wipe the defective phone between my hind parts before I sent it back for sure.
Nexus 5 microphone issue?
Hey guys, I just got my nexus 5 yesterday. Everything is fantastic besides one thing, the most important thing, making phone calls. When I'm talking on the phone others tell me they cannot hear me. This is odd as I know the nexus 5 is supposed to have a decent mic. Has anyone else had this issue? I even tried to looking for the mic because I thought something was blocking it. I'm guessing the microphone is inside the right speaker grill. Am I wrong.? Can anyone help me with this please? Thank you. Is anyone having the same issue?
Re: Nexus 5 microphone issue?
Have you tried rebooting the phone? I had a similar thing happen, but a reboot fixed it.
Re: Nexus 5 microphone issue?
I'm having the exact same problem. People saying they cannot hear me. I have to put the call on speaker phone for them to hear me. Did you end up fixing the problem?
Re: Nexus 5 microphone issue?
Google Groups
Reply to that thread above and maybe Google will take notice. I had the same issue and am having mine replaced as we speak. - 11-10-2013, 11:26 PM #11
Re: Nexus 5 microphone issue?
Thank god, it's not just me! My wife keeps complaining that it sounds like I'm in a hole when I'm on the Nexus 5. If I switch to speakerphone, she says it sounds normal and she can hear me much better.
Should I get it replaced or is this just normal for this phone? - 11-10-2013, 11:56 PM #12
Re: Nexus 5 microphone issue?
Same issue here. Seems intermittent as only some people have trouble hearing me.
If I switch to speaker is seems okay, but that isn't always convenient.
I tried holding the phone horizontal and speaking directly into the microphone and it seems better.
So it probably wasn't the speakerphone making it better but the way the phone was oriented.
Maybe just a volume issue which will hopefully be fixed with the update which has started to roll out.
Not available to me yet.
Update after speaking to Google
They asked me to factory reset the phone and that seems to have fixed the problem for a while, but back to muffled on phone calls and Keep recordings.
Video recordings are okay as is Smart Voice Recorder. Maybe its an app I've added? - 11-11-2013, 01:49 AM #14

Nexus 5: Phone Calls using earpiece (Microphone and Speaker) problem
Hi Guys
I have a black Nexus. It has been great in everything except placing and receiving calls. I don't use a headset just the phone directly. But whenever I call someone, people tell me that they can barely hear me. To fix that I literally have to move my mouth right next to the microphone and even then the voice is barely ok. I almost have to shout. People tell me that I sounded much louder on my own phone.
Also while hearing people on the phone the voice is too low. I use the volume control app and have the IN CALL volume on FULL. 5/5. Still I barely hear the other person and if it's noisy outside I cannot. Contrast to my previous phone in which I had to go down to 50% volume otherwise it was too loud.
Is this a defective unit? A hardware issue? Do I need to ask Google for replacement? I am loath to do that since the phone has been amazing in everything else. It's fast as hell and the battery life is super.
I wanted to know if any one has the same problem and whether it might be fixed with a software update or is it just a hardware issue and something wrong with my phone?
Thanks in advance. - 11-11-2013, 02:55 PM #17
Re: Nexus 5: Phone Calls using earpiece (Microphone and Speaker) problem
i use my iPhone headset 99% of the time to talk on the phone and it works great. but the couple times i used the built in microphone on the bottom of the phone - i got complaints that the other party couldn't hear me. there was at least two other posters here that had the same problem (others couldn't hear them when they called) .. once ended up asking for a replacement. i'm not sure what happened in his case. i hope we just need a software patch and that it is not a hardware problem.
here are the two problems -

Nexus 5 microphone issue? - 11-11-2013, 03:01 PM #18
Re: Nexus 5: Phone Calls using earpiece (Microphone and Speaker) problem
Do keep in mind that the phone's microphone almost certainly has a volume-limiting circuit. Therefore, the more loudly you speak, the more the mic is going to clamp down. You should be able to speak in a completely normal voice and be heard on the other end.
Having said that, is the phone in a case? If so, the design of the case may be interfering with the sounds being able to actually reach the microphone - have you seen how small the mic hole is on most modern phones? Just look at the one for the secondary mic on top opposite the headphone jack... Try making a few calls without your case (if any) and see if that makes a difference. - 11-11-2013, 03:20 PM #19
Re: Nexus 5: Phone Calls using earpiece (Microphone and Speaker) problem
1. i believe the voice microphone is on the bottom by your right hand and the sound speaker is on the bottom by your left hand (the large grilled areas - one for each mic and speaker ie not stereo) so i don't see how a case would affect it.
2. i just did some testing calling my other line and leaving a voicemail in a slow moderate volume normal voice and i can confirm that my iPhone headset mic left a much clearer voicemail. the internal Nexus 5 message was static-y, crackly, muffled, and not that great. but it was audible and understandable.
3. there is a known problem with audio out sound with the Nexus 5 (music) (per the AC gang) that appears to be software related as it only affects some audio sources but not all sources. PERHAPS there is also a bug with the microphone audio input as well?
what is everyone else out there seeing (hearing)??? - 11-11-2013, 03:22 PM #20
Re: Nexus 5 microphone issue?
Re: Total Bummer-Sauce with my new Nexus 5!!!
Re: Nexus 5: Phone Calls using earpiece (Microphone and Speaker) problem
Thanks so much everyone for the prompt responses. I did some testing with and without the case. The sound was consistently bad. I understand that the microphone is located on the bottom right side of the phone and the speaker is located on the bottom left (looking from bottom to top).
If I move closer to the microphone it improves somewhat. Funnily, if I move my finger on to cover the noise cancellation microphone (at the top middle), the voice goes louder through. However there is background noise. I tested calling my voicemail. So is there a issue with the noise cancellation decreasing the volume?
Also the speaker is not that good. Listening to the phone with the earpiece i have to put it on max volume to even hear anything. This is disappointing.
1) I understand that other people also have similar problems? So maybe this is a defect that is consistently found in Nexus 5 phones? Will a RMA to google help? Maybe I will get another phone with similar issues.
2) Headset has been recommended here to mitigate this. Can someone recommend something other than Apple? I just need something that works as a good Mic (preferably black in color). For music, I have several in ear earbuds from Sennheiser, Klipsh, Bose and the like.
Thanks again. Hoping this gets resolved. I really like this phone, but the volume issue during normal calls is annoying. - 11-12-2013, 09:46 AM #23
Re: Nexus 5: Phone Calls using earpiece (Microphone and Speaker) problem
yes i think this is a widespread problem. i just got another call this morning and the caller said that i sounded "muffled". i wonder if this affects ALL Nexus 5 phones but only some of us have realized it because the vast majority of you guys out there don't talk much on the phone???
can everyone please do some testing and report back??? - 11-12-2013, 09:55 AM #24
Re: Nexus 5: Phone Calls using earpiece (Microphone and Speaker) problem
Exactly. Before I RMA the phone, I wanted to make sure that this is not a defect common across a majority of the phones. Here the wait time for a RMA replacement is 4-5 weeks. And I don't want to send my phone back only to get another phone which has same (or worst case even more) issues.
All that said, My phone is perfect except for CRAPPY microphone and other people not being able to hear me. I really have to move close to the microphone when speaking. The voice goes hollow and sometimes loud, is what I have been told.
Also as you said in the previous post does using a bluetooth headset fix this? I might buy one and start using that to mitigate this. - 11-12-2013, 10:06 AM #25

Historical Traveler Reviews Courtyard New York Manhattan/Midtown East New York City
Great place to stay
We spent last weekend at this hotel, and it looked familiar - it was the old MacMillan Book Publishing building in an earlier incarnation! So, the rooms were larger than normal. The hvac system was new. The ceilings were higher. Actually, we got a great commercial location at a bargain price!
The walk to Fifth Avenue is steps away. Great place to use as a shopping base. Walked to the theatres. Central Park is blocks away. Good value for the money. Marriott service is always good, and this is no exception. Except here one does not have to over-pay. Recommend it highly.
May 2004 visit
I am not a lover of the east side, but love the location of this hotel. Very close to Bloomingdales and good window shopping.
The hotel is a typical Courtyard, but certainly a clean, accomodating place and one I would visit again.
March 2004 stay @ Courtyard Midtown East
Just back from New York...thanks to all who take the time to write reviews. They are always informative and helpful when trying to choose a hotel. I agree with all the past writings and I too would like to add that the staff at this hotel is outstanding. They went out of their way to be helpful. We arrived early and (10:00AM) were given a room right away. We thought we would just check luggage and come back later.
Instead we checked into our room, unpacked and had the rest of the day.We had breakfast at the hotel each morning and the staff each morning, made it a pleasure to be there. Buffet is $14.95 but you can also order off the menu. The room was very spacious and a comfy bed, room decor is not fancy more"business" like. Clean and everything needed for your stay. We forgot and left a privacy sign on the door one day so housekeeping never made it in. They called while we were out and that evening brought clean towels, emptied the garbage and made sure we had what we needed. The staff really makes this courtyard. Location was great for us because we went downtown and uptown, so to be in the middle worked. We used the bus and walking distance to a lot of attractions. Great stay and would definitely return. Enjoy NY we did!
Good Deal
My husband and I stayed at the Courtyard Marriott Midtown East last weekend and we found the location great. Right across from the subway and walking distance to St. Patrick's, Rockafella Ctr., Radio City and Times Square. Great deal for the price. Rooms were nothing fancy, but certainly clean and adequate. I would definitely stay there again. A very friendly and helpful staff!
Pretty good for your money
We were pleased with the property.
The hotel lobby and entrance were always kept clean with friendly people to assist you. The hotel offers valet parking, which is a big plus for us.
The room was cleaned every day and the staff was very friendly
Excellent considering the price.
I stay there for weeks at time. A real "bang for the buck" deal.
Great inexpensive hotel
Great inexpensive hotel. Checkin was prompt and we were given a 2 bed double on the 27th floor. The room was clean, with iron, ironing board and blow dryer. A refrigerator was available on request. The bellman held our bags for our late afternoon departure and arranged for a car to take us to Laguardia. A subway station was across the street and the neighborhood included several reasonably priced restaurants. A drug store is next door. We walked home from Times Square more than once and felt very safe in the neighborhood. I would definitely stay there again.
Our Family liked the Courtyard Midtown.
We just returned from a two night stay at the Courtyard in Midtown NY.
The room was clean and spacious and we got a really good rate considering other NY hotels. The location was good, wished we would have stayed a little closer to Times Square but were able to get around due to close Metro stop. I would recommend this hotel and will probably visit again.
First Class
This is a first rate hotel. The staff is unusually friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The location can't be beat. One of the best places to stay in NYC!
Good place to stay if you can get a deal
If you have a reason to stay on the East Side (Third Avenue in the vicinity of 52nd Street), this could be the hotel for you. Rooms are a tad small, but the bed is mega-comfortable. The neighborhood has plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. The conceirge was extra-helpful with requests for information about the neighborhood.
Paid a bit under $200 for the room, which is not high by New York standards. Still, I've stayed in almost as good for a lot less. If you can get a deal on a room here, it's worth it.

I'm in a New York state of mind
... which were super expensive women's clothing,
Central Station was just pretty, all those movies and flash mobs. It's just as you imagined, but bigger. There is also a foodhall downstairs and a market and a Godiva chocolate shop. We stopped for a Godiva dark chocolate soft serve. Totally worth the calories.
The New York Public Library was nice. Again, movie scenes... and it is right next ...

Locatie, ruime kamer, vriendelijkpersoneel - Irma
The rooms were really spacious (we did pay extra for the two queen bed rooms). The ambiance and locality were fantastic. Food was great and staff couldn't have ben more helpful. Please note for those who are unsure of the hotel due to the lighting, you can pull up the blinds at the windows to let in natural light. - Anonymous
Goed gelegen, voordeel dat een busje je komt oppikken aan de luchthaven, prachtige roof top pool, de beste matrassen ooit in geslapen op hotel, happy hours... De algemene opinie is goed tot zeer goed, alleszins gezien de prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding.... - Annelore
Everything was wonderful. The hotel is very modern, the rooms have brand new furniture. The staff is very friendly and they pay a lot of attention to detail. The rooms and facilities are very clean and perfectly maintained. I would definitely recommend the hotel and go back there anytime. The beach is great and the pool area is exquisite. The hotel is very close to Ocean Drive. - Anonymous
Design and sfeer - Cora
Very nice the place, it's like to be in small court full of nice plants, it would be perfect with a swimming pool like in Melrose place :-) Very welcoming as soon as you get in the garden. The room was not really big but comfortable, nice bathroom. - Anonymous
- Unique, art inspired interior - Very comfortable rooms - Got two complimentary upgrades to suites (would've been nice if the third room i'd booked had an upgrade too...) - Willingness of managers to give dining recommendations in the location - General friendliness of staff. Mickey, one of the pool bar staff, chatted to us about coming from Serbia and his experiences of living in New York and Miami - Anonymous
The hotel is just perfect! The best place to stay in South Beach. Located well enough both for beach and shopping, a bit on the side from the load streets. Views over the Bay are so stunning, the sunsets are worth paying for the room with the bay view. Hotel staff are very hospitable and accommodating. The room are spacious and well designed, very elegant and trendy. Would stay at this hotel in future - Anonymous
the staff greet you by name and were very attentive. They knew who you were and what you had been doing and asked you about your stay. Very good. Also we travelled with a dog and they were super accommodating and easy going. - Anonymous
Was a great hotel to stay at. Was over looking the back of hotel and was spaying in a jacuzzi suite, I called n asked to be changed and they did within minutes. Put us overlooking Collins avenue. Top to bottom z ocean was exactly what a young couple needed. Not crazy kids screaming off balconies, it was romantic and relaxing the entire stay. Will be back again for more than a weekend next time. Would def recommend it again - Anonymous
