BANGALORE: Jnanpith awardee Chandrasekhara Kambar was in the news on Wednesday as he joined his neighbours in a protest against the opening of a liquor shop in his neighbourhood on I Main Road, Hoysala Circle, Kengeri Satellite Town.
The protesting residents alleged that the liquor store, Metro Liquor Point, had come up in a residential area in violation of all norms. A students' hostel and a hospital also existed in the neighbourhood, they said.Women in the area had already staged a protest but the liquor shop was operating for over a month.On Wednesday, Kambar and his neighbours plunged into action and took out a march to the liquor shop. The shop owner was not present but the employees agreed to close the store for the day.
Speaking to The Times of India, Kambar said that he had contacted local police and excise minister MP Renukacharya regarding the issue but had received no reply."Even before the liquor store opened people had opposed it. One of the reasons was that it was a residential area; the rules also say that no liquor store should operate in areas where there are public institutions," Kambar pointed out.Kambar said that the matter will be taken up with the shop owner. "I will call the excise minister again to discuss the matter. I will also write to the chief minister on the issue," Kambar added. Anjaneyalu RG, a protestor, said, "We will stage a protest tomorrow if the shop opens. This is not a commercial area. There is no reason to allow a liquor shop when you have Kempegowda Hospital and a student hostel nearby."

If you want to make use of the new Support Alert RSS feeds you'll need an RSS Reader of one sort or another. There's no shortage of options with dozens of stand-alone products on the market but one of the sweetest ways to access RSS is through your browser. Firefox users can subscribe to and read RSS feeds using the built-in Live Bookmarks feature. Use the first link below for a simple tutorial [1]. However Live Bookmarks is a bit minimal and most users would be better off installing a full Firefox RSS extension. Sage [2] is the safest bet for most users though some may prefer Pluck [3] because it allows you to store your feeds and bookmarks on a central server which you can then access from any PC. However, the centralized storage causes Pluck to run slower than Sage which stores information locally. Internet Explorer users can use also use Pluck as there's an IE add-in available. In fact, the IE version has more features than the Firefox version. If you want a stand-alone reader, check out two free, third generation aggregators BlogBridge [4] and GreatNews [5].

Rep. Judy Chu, the last member of Congress to question Stephen Colbert during a hearing on migrant farm workers and an AgJobs bill, took issue with the media hand-wringing over the comedian's in-character testimony, saying instead that he brought an important message to Congress and did a far better job covering the issue than any so-called straight reporter.
Rep. Judy Chu: "The lone day Mr. Colbert spent in the fields gave him a better understanding of this issue than many people covering this story" |

Colbert Gives More Attention to Farmworkers' Struggle than Any Reporter in Half a Century |
By: David Dayen Friday September 24, 2010 11:40 am |
We live in a short attention-span theater world (ironically, a Comedy Central show once hosted by Jon Stewart) where all too often, the voiceless and the less powerful need the backing of a louder megaphone to get their claims a hearing. Colbert displayed during the hearing that he understands this implicitly.
Happy Cesar Chavez Day! |

Today is Cesar Chavez Day, honoring the birthday of the great Cesar Chavez of the United Farm Workers. President Obama designated today as Chavez day while meeting with the late UFW leader's relatives.

Yet another one for the pros.....
Is there a "threshold" for number of collections on a report that 1-2 more or 1-2 less would make almost no difference to a score?
Specifically, I have 6 collections on EQ. 2 of them are small (36.00 and 60.00) that I intend to PFD (both past SOL). Id assume that removing 2 would have alot less of an impact leaving 4 still there vs them being the only 2 listed and leaving none.
The other 4 will have to wait for drop off (2-3 more years). They are more than im likely to be able to pay (can always cross fingers but doubtful).
Any guesses as to if going from 6 to 4 (or 5) will have much of an effect at all? I havent been able to find any simulators out there that will let a user get that specific.
This is more credit education for me than anything else. Im attempting the PFDs anyway.
As always, thanks!
02-02-2013 06:00 PM - edited 02-02-2013 06:01 PM
That is a good question and I think it may be hard to answer.
My daughter's CR contained all negative information, 8 collections and COs. Everything was newly reported, less than 2 years old. Nothing positive on her account and a very short credit history. She still had a 578 FICO.
My CR had 14 collections and COs, many of them older, like at 7 years. I had 24 accounts in good standing, some paid and closed. 12 year credit history. My score was 404.
To this day I still don't get it lol.
I do know, the higher your score the bigger impact negatives have.
WOW lol thats crazy.
Oh well, paying those 2 for under 100 bucks total with or without an accepted PFD is worth it just for the GW possibilities. Especially since they would be pd at 100% and not settled. I doubt very seriously they would fight me much for those amounts if I hound them like im a CA (haha). Ill just GW them every 2-3 weeks after PIF until they get tired of me.

We inherited a yard from the previous owner of the house with an unusual patch of garden, in one corner sprang this plant. It doesn't seem to grow erect but prefer to bush out closer to the ground.The leaves look like a capsicum and it bore tiny white flowers which later formed small round fruits the size of capers. The fruits were initially green then "ripen" to black. Is this a noxious weed or some prized exotic plant? Help! |

Maybe it's Solanum burbankii. Common names are wonderberry and garden huckleberry, among others. Rodney |
Not 'Deadly' Nightshade - that is Atropa belladonna. The plant at the link is Black Nightshade and the OP's photo could show that or one of the similar Solanums such as S reflexii aka S burbankii. I don't know enough about them to tell them apart. |
Does not much resemble the Solanum burbankii (wonderberry) I grew - the leaves are too long. Does look like a nightshade. There are many. |
Thank you for the insights |
They all belong to solanum/nigtshade family as do eggplants and peppers. Whether or not they are edible or deadly, is another matter that I don't know. |
Agree with Floral_uk, it looks like one of the black nightshades, probably S. douglasii given your location. There are several very similar species, and they grow wild pretty much everywhere. I take great pains to ensure that they never go to seed in my gardens, and they still crop up from dormant seed or from bird droppings. When I lived in San Diego, the local Hmong community cultivated one of the black nightshades extensively. There is a pretty god write up of the various species & their properties in the link below. Personally, I would just treat it like the weed that it is & dispose of it. Really nice jade plant bush behind it, by the way. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Black nightshade
It IS the weed, and actually pretty bad one. It spreads a lot, doesn't mind shade, easily growing under large plants. And because it is from the same family as tomatoes, potato, peppers, it spreads the same diseases, they could have. That can mess with your crop "rotation". I kill it as soon as I see one. |

Gen Nishino Photographer
12 total reviews
- 1
Wedding: 9/21/2013
Getting married in NYC means access to dozens of talented photographers. Needless to say, Gen Nishino is a Playboy and TIME magazine photographer. But Gen Nishino goes beyond talent and reputation. He and his team embodies excellent work ethics. He offered to reschedule our out-of-town pre-wed photoshoot because the weather forecast was not perfect. This gives us clear impression that he does business not only to get the transaction done, but he ensures perfection in his work. His amicable personality exudes positive vibe anytime during the photoshoot and this helps the subjects being photographed feel happy and comfortable - a very important trait especially on your wedding day! A-plus-mazing to Nishino and his team!
Wedding: 6/12/2010
As all brides and grooms know, the most important aspect of a wedding is the photos which will last a lifetime. Gen Nishino and Kevin Kuster were our brilliant photographers on our unforgettable day. They exhibited incredible professionalism, creativity, and made sure I, as the bride, was relaxed and happy throughout the day. They stole the hearts of our guests by being fun, energetic, and capturing fantastic moments. My husband and I could not have been happier with everything which was offered to us by this team of photographers. They are indeed more than just men with cameras; they are invested in your wedding just as much you are! Thank you Kevin and Gen for the joy you continue to bring us through the moments you captured on our beautiful wedding day.
Wedding: 10/13/2012
Gen captured the mood of our wedding and our reception perfectly! He took pictures of the wedding site setup, on the beach, of the most picturesque location in Moro Bay, CA. The wedding took place just prior to sunset and after the wedding he captured myself and my new bride with multiple photos of us on the beach with the sunset as our backdrop glistening off the waters of the ocean. He also took some awesome family portraits and captured multiple "in the moment" shots of our guests at the reception. I highly recommend Gen to any and all grooms and brides looking for the best photographer to capture their special day, just as he did ours!!
Wedding: 10/13/2012
I met Gen while he was shooting a wedding for a friend, here in Southern California. He was such a sweetheart. Great personality and really made everyone feel special. He is very professional. I would highly recommend Gen as a photographer!
I chose Gen for a Boudoir shoot to surprise my husband for our anniversary.
From the moment I met Gen he was warm, funny and engaging - It was like meeting an old friend all over again!
Gen truly takes takes into account the entire scene of an image, his attention to detail is amazing.
Every image tells a story, from the set itself to the props to the pose. I was never worried about how I'd look, he knows exactly how to pose you to get the best shot and the best angle to make you look AMAZING.
My husband was blown away by the images and is now Gen's number-one fan ;) He looks through the album all the time.
Thank you again, Gen, for our shoot - I'll never forget it!
Gen had been selected as my photographer for a boudoir shoot, so I went into the day shooting not knowing much about him. The moment I shook his hand I knew that I was in good hands.
Gen took care of me in every sense. First and foremost he was extremely punctual, reliable, and professional. He ensured that we stick to schedule and stay on schedule. He made me laugh and feel comfortable to truly capture what he wanted to portray in the photos. He truly is an artist.
He made sure I looked beautiful...felt comfortable..and ate throughout the day (which no photographer has ever done ha)! I would be honored to have Gen shoot me again, and anyone else that he shoots with should feel honored to. His work is perfection...
Wedding: 6/7/2014
I used Gen for the Boudoir LaFemme shoot prior to my engagement and I couldn't have been happier!! My fiancee and I LOVE the photos, he really captured the essence of true feminine beauty. The talent that he has far exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to have him shoot our location wedding in Puerto Rico!!! Thank you to Gen and his talented team, you truly are the BEST and we are so grateful that you captured this special moment in our lives. :-)
Wedding: 10/13/2012
I attended a wedding in Laguna, Ca this weekend and Gen was the photographer. The wedding was on the beach and he was so much fun! His warmth, friendliness, and charm was felt by everyone. He captured some incredible shots!
He was all over, getting shots from high on cliffs to the tunnel that the bride walked through on the way to the aisle. He was incredibly professional and I know the bride and groom are going to be thrilled with their photos! I would highly recommend Gen! The best!
Besides my own wedding I have sent numerous clients to Gen Nishino. All of them have been absolutely thrilled. He has an incredible talent in capturing the true essence and beauty of his subjects. His photo's can only be described as "Art". I would recommend him to everyone.
I was a guest a wedding and saw the beautiful pictures taken.
We are planning on using Gen Nishino after seeing his
beautiful and professional work. It's very exciting.
Wedding: 2/14/2012
Gen Nishino is the most INCREDIBLE PHOTOGRAPHER! As the Bride, I was very anxious and I wanted pictures that would be unique and creative- not like every other wedding album I've seen and THAT'S JUST WHAT I GOT! We had a destination wedding in the bahamas and having Gen an his team made it perfect! He have us our perfect pictures, just how we wanted them. A TRUE ARTIST!! professional, creative, MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS A MOVIE STAR!! I RECCOMEND HIM TO ANYONE WHO WANTS THE PERFECT MEMORIES!!!
Wedding: 1/14/2012
"How do we tell you how much we love our wedding album. Not only is every image so beautiful and unique but you brought so much love and energy to our wonderful day. Your spirit and love for life comes across not only in our photos but the day of the wedding you added so much just with your energy. You went way out of your way to make our wedding photos unique to us. Some of the expressions and caught emotions bring tears to my eyes every time I look through them. Love is the only word that expresses it all. We love our wedding album and we loved everything you brought to our magical day.
We just wanted to thank you for every beautiful image you captured that we love and to tell you what a gift you are as a photographer and a person.
thank you Gen.
and to Debbee who helped me so much and who does so much for everyone she meets. She helped make all the details so special and I can never thank her enough.
so much love to you both,
Pat and Jodi"

Just a quick little piece I composed using a rhythm based strings pattern. Hope you enjoy this.
Cubase 5.1.1
EWQL Symphonic Orchestra
And that's all there is to it.
Please rate, review and enjoy!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
It's so pro.
Very fine job you've done here, I'm sure that you have plenty of these types of pieces, and they're all professional level in terms of quality. But what I like about this one is how you did so much basing off of that pattern, it's so intricate and lively and would fit perfectly in like Mulan or something. Well done!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
you watch that new show that just came the other week called the human target? this sounds that the theme from the intro.... very awesome.... i would have used different bells... bells with more texture.... great job with the french horn and trumpet......this track is so awesome ive added it to more favorites
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
For an Egyptian or Cowbow themed movie!
Thanks for your review. I'm assuming 'cowbow' = cowboy, haha.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Soundtrack maybe?
Song really sounds like a soundtrack song for an exploration montage in the renaissance! or maybe thats just me... anyhow i think its quiet good but that in some places it is lacking in instruments. For example, in many areas louder drums would be better ( i Kinda had a type of percussion in mind but i can't remember what its called), Flutes would be also really awesome and you should look for longer bell samples.
-Very nice use of the trumpets and such. i liked the main melody also! (Especially the fact that its all ways changing)
-Major need for a filler at 1 minute sharp. ( a crescendo would be nice. with some drums and shit)
-way to sudden at 1:20! may need something to space it out.
-Clock tower bells would be really cool for the ending, because there is something missing at the end. (seriously it sounds like you muted something by accident)
Still nice! gave it a 5 (i mostly do that to everyone to slightly counter balance all the 0-bombing going on. As a fellow show off artist xP, it really pisses me off when it happens to me.) but i still think it deserves it. Nice try but you would be better off making something longer!
-Peace out
Thanks for your review.
In regards to the suddenness of 1:20, I did try putting certain things in there, but it honestly ended up working better without the other frills.
And the bell samples are plenty long and plenty loud, I just brought the velocity waaay down so as to not overpower the rest of the group.
And the ending...maybe I could put a really quiet bell there... I think the reason you hear it as more quiet is because the note before the last has both C and G, whereas the last not is only F's. Perhaps that's why you perceive it as quieter or "missing something".
I do often try for length, but I don't like jamming in too many ideas into one track.
And thanks for countering the zero-bombing.
Thanks for your thought provoking review, it's nice to get something other than "I love it, 10". It's much appreciated.

Rihanna's Neighbors Not Feeling The Love
Since a rooftop stranger was nabbed creeping around her Pacific Palisades home on Monday, according to TMZ, the songstress' neighbors in the swanky enclave of Los Angeles have grown increasingly agitated since their once-private street has become a prime locale for trespassers and paparazzi.
"We've had it," resident Marian Mandel told Celebuzz.
"We're quite upset about the publicity. It was a private street and we want to keep it that way. Everyone is taking care of each house and we are protecting our rights up here."
And this isn't the first time the pop star, who's currently on her Diamonds tour in the U.K., has been paid a visit by a lurking lookie loo on the $12 million property she reportedly bought in Dec. 2012. In February an obsessed fan was also put behind bars after trying to break into her digs.
Another resident, who asked to remain anonymous, points the finger right at RiRi.
"The neighbors closest to Rihanna are really offended by this," added the neighbor. "It affects our entire street and it's no longer private because of her. Trespassers come here just to look for her."
In time, Mandel believes the "Run This Town" singer will eventually find another place to call home.
"She'll probably move out," she said. "She'll get tired of this."
RiRi's next door neighbor Mark Green said fellow residents are staying proactive about what to do next, even if it means beefing up security.
"We've been getting emails and alerts about what happened," added Green.
"The neighbors are pretty much as upset about this as about the paparazzi who are here all the time. It's a private road and we moved here because we like the privacy.
"Each has spoken to different security companies and we're formulating if we go in as a group or contract separately."
Despite the hard feelings, he's a bit more sympathetic to the 25-year-old superstar's circumstance.
"It's such a quiet street and we hardly ever see her [Rihanna]," he said. "As long as people at least keep getting arrested, it's all good.
"It's a private road and the people who are caught here are felons.
"Other neighbors are pretty upset, but I'm okay. It's a process. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to warn people away. She has no control over what crazy people do."

I bet she won't like the Beretta 92. That is a huge gun. I have a 96, (same thing, but in .40), and it's almost too big for me. Having said that, it's also a very nice gun. I used to have the FS version, and now have the A1 version. I like the FS better.
Think seriously about getting something you both feel comfortable with owning/shooting/CC. I'm a big man, but decided to focus on 9mm and .380 for HD/CC for my wifes and my sake. Better to have 2 people willing and ABLE to protect your lives than just one!

Came home with the 92fs And her shooting it she loved it
Mmmmm, new Beretta. Sigh. The fitted cases they came in back in the '90's were so much better. One could expect more than that^^^ from a company like this. Good first choice, anyway. Glad she likes it.
Congratulations to you both.
Now it's time to start saving for #2, there's nothing truer than two is always better than one, especially when you are both willing and ABLE! Congrats to you both!!
Yeah -- what gun's gonna be in the house when you go to the range to shoot that one? I think your next one, and you owe her, is an 84.

I didn't take photos of the front porch, its basically same as last year. But here's the small area I did around my kitchen table Again I thank Candy for the nudge in doing my pair of curio cabinets this year. I normally only change them out for Christmas, but now I'll probably doing them for all the holidays since I always decorate the bay window.
There's 15 photos, so here's the link to my album to see them...
Here is a link that might be useful: my Halloween decor photos
Follow-Up Postings:
Karen, it's all so wonderful! Glad Candy gave you the nudge and you decorated the curio's for us. You must of done some major repacking girlfriend. I'll have to go back and look again and again. I can't seem to get into much of anything right now. Guess my work load is taking control of my mind this year.Not Good! I'm so glad to be able to come here and see all the neat creations you come up with. I'm really loving all the black and white you used. Punk |

Oh boy, that was a fun tour of around your kitchen area! Wow! I love your bay window ...that is really cool all done up in black silhouette-like! And your kitchen table w/black trim & chairs...wow, really works good! But I think what really makes it all so Fall/Halloween-y is all the goodies in your curio cabinets! Awesome! All the witches & personal gifts & that red owl (I saw that one at TJMaxx awhile back...when I got my gold mercury glass one!) Miss Oct. is adorable! And the books on the glass shelf! Everything looks great! I love the vignette on the antique tea cart ...your wall arrangement above it, the lamp, painted frames & of course, Jazz in replica! Your Bebe witch is a hoot, too! Wow, I'd say you're certainly ready for the holiday ahead! Congrats, good work & TFS! Jeanne S. |

Jeanne, I have you to thank for my bay window decor! Soon as you saw the metal stuff piled there after unpacking, you saw the potential of using it that way. ;o) You and Candy were my "helpers" and I so appreciate it as I sure needed that this year. |
What a TREAT! Thanks so much for the tour. First let me say how much I love the Tea Cart and the vignette on it. The red owl caught my eye too, and I'm glad that you used your Curios to display your treasures. |
- Posted by jeannespines (My Page) on Wed, Oct 19, 11 at 10:55
I like that word, ,'helpers ... a nice way of saying 'Enablers 'R Us!' We like to 'help' in anyway we can! LOL! Jeanne S. |
Karen this is the BEST Halloween display you've done to date! You've collected so many wonderful pieces...if there is such a thing as 'Elegant Halloween'...then this is definitely what you've created! I love how your Bay window turned out..with all the Ravens/Cages and Black Metal pieces - especially how you arranged them. Your curio cabinets are filled with great displays. Those witches look like if they could 'get out' they'd stir up some real mischief! Love the Purple one and also the 'Witch & Famous'..she's a hoot. Great arrangement on your teacart...love the 'Jazz' cat on it too. I know there are things I missed commenting on - you did so much!...I'm going back to see what I missed. jane |
Jeanne...those ladies look like crafty enablers! The way the're holding their purses and the look on their faces.. Hmmm what 'helpful' ideas are they conjuring up? jane |
- Posted by marlene_2008 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 19, 11 at 13:29
Looking good there Karen! I especially like the bay window arrangement of crows, etc. You amaze me with all of your holiday decor....I swear I need to visit so you can teach me how to pack like you do. I thought I was a master packer, but you're the "Queen"! Great job! |
- Posted by christmascandy (My Page) on Wed, Oct 19, 11 at 21:57
Wowza!! I love it all. The bay window looks fabulous, and I can't believe you have never done the curios before because they are absolutely wonderful!! The tea cart is perfect in the spot you chose, and the decor on it is perfect. I couldn't believe when I saw your chandelier because I have 2 much smaller witches hanging on mine and a giant spider web with a huge spider on it!! Can you say "Great minds think alike?" Ha Ha. Or, maybe we are just cosmically in tune! For not putting all of your decor out, you sure did a great job with what you did. Imagine what you could do if you had the energy and your legs cooperated...there probably wouldn't be a bare spot anywhere!! LOL I love the "witch and famous" sign too! Fabulous as usual, but we wouldn't expect anything less from you! TFS, |

Working Potters: Charity Davis-Woodard
I became a potter later in life, following a previous career that never felt quite right—as though I was given a role that should have belonged to someone else. On the other hand, my experience making pots in several adult education classes resulted in exactly the opposite feeling: this was a good fit. I wanted to feel passionate about my profession and have it be an integral part of my everyday life.
Working Potters: Stanley Mace Andersen
I was 36 when I got my MFA in 1978. I was offered two not-very-appealing jobs, one as a part-time ceramics instructor at a nearby college, another as a ceramics studio tech at another college. I knew the responsible thing to do would be to take one of these jobs, but I also knew that if I did, I wouldn't make many pots. So I set up a studio in my basement. My first job as a potter consisted of making 288 unglazed earthenware cylinders every month, each imprinted with a hand-made stamp bearing the words "Cook's Tools," at 50¢ a pop.
Working Potters: Victoria Christen
As with almost everything in my life, I came to making pots in somewhat of a round about way. During graduate school at the University of Minnesota back in the early 1980s, I never once thought that I would try to earn a living making pots. I saw myself as a sculptor and, after graduating, I had a couple of successful gallery shows and even received a National Endowment for the Arts grant based on my sculpture. Around my second year out of school, I took a break from my sculptural work to handbuild some small jars and cups. I found that I really enjoyed the freedom of painting the pieces and loved how quickly I was able move through the stages of glazing and firing. I was enjoying the work, so I just kept at it.
Peter Karner
Nestled in a narrow canyon alongside a creek, Peter Karner makes functional vessels that embody his surroundings. The surfaces of his undulating ceramic forms rise and fall like the ridge lines around his studio. The highly contrasting glazes on his pots, toned black, green, tan, and orange, are reminiscent of the desert patinas and lichen that appear in his environment. In a most subtle way, Karner's pottery incorporates these natural elements, bringing the vastness of the landscape into an intimate perspective.
Steve Reynolds: Off the Wall
Steve Reynolds' work is a poke in the eye; enmeshed in contradiction, it is deeply intelligent, prickly, and tough-minded. His work is uncomfortable to look at, defying all categories, always an amalgam of the beautiful and the ugly. Neither of these qualities have been his focus, they emerged as an indirect consequence of his process.

pmaggan Posts: 62Check http://fitzmall.com. They usually have the lowest prices and all pricing is listed online. Purchased a Camry from them last year and none of my local dealers would match their price.
wormyone Posts: 1I just bought a prius II for $21000 + 0% apr from grappone in NH. Seems like a good deal based on what I've seen here. What I'm less sure about is the extended warranty: $1170 to extend to 8 years or 75,000 mi (also financed at 0%). Should I keep it (I guess I have a month to decide)?
robolady Posts: 1We went to Toyota Scion of Wallingford. We started to negotiate at Consumer Reports recommendation which was 24,293. Of course he was not going for it. We then told them we did our homework and this is what consumer report suggested and showed them the True Market Price that edmunds gives which was 24,687. He laughed and said Edmunds does not sell cars and we don't review cars. They don't know what they are talking about. He wanted around 25300. I told him my bottom line was 24,800. He would not accept the price and we walked out.
cheapskate8 Posts: 34Went to the local dealer to sit in a Prius for the first time during the middle of the week when no other customers were there. I let the salesman knowing I was debating waiting on the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. As we were walking to the car the sales manager comes out to introduce himself. He asked what I thought and I told him Fremont had 5 advertised at $19800 and asked if he would match. He didn't hesitate and said yes. I then asked if I still get the military on top of that making it $19300 and he said yes. In Cali doc fee is limited to $55. My only sticking point is I don't want to pay Cali taxes wich is $1K more than my home state of Florida. I probably call Carson City, NV to see if they will match and let me pay FL taxes. Otherwise I will take leave fly home and buy...atleast the money saved will pay for the trip home.

duckyping Posts: 3OK, so who should I speak to? (Who did you speak to to get this deal?) Should I just walk in and be like, "I know someone who got a Prius from you for 19,800, and I know you can give me the same deal"? Or should I be more coy?
Thanks for the advice in advance, this is my first car purchase ever and I need all the help I can get! -
duckyping Posts: 3Also...FYI
I called Carson City, NV to see if they will do the tax thing, too...as I am a resident of PA and my taxes are 6% there...the guy I spoke to (I forget his name, but he was really nice, someone in the finance department) said that they would call the DMV or whatever relevant agencies in my county in PA (including perhaps another car dealership) to figure out what the taxes would be there, and then they would issue a check or something to cover the difference of what I would pay in NV taxes towards my registration fees in PA, so theoretically, I would be only paying PA taxes for the vehicle.
Hope this helps! -

justsukayrah Posts: 2Just got a 2011 Prius IV with Solar Package for $28,000 (MSRP $32,115, Invoice $30,407). Leased for $389 down, $309/month for 15,000 miles per year in Raleigh, NC.
How does that compare? They gave me a great trade in as well @ full Kelly Blue Book. Is this a decent deal?
Thanks in advance! -

cheapskate8 Posts: 34Unfortunately CA state law is if you buy and take delivery in CA the dealer is required to collect CA tax. I bought my Odessey from a CA dealer, but had them deliver it to the first exit past the state line, savings was close to $3K. This law is keeping me from buying the Prius here. I'll just wait to go on leave and buy elsewhere. Another example of CA chasing business outside the state. ...future Prius owner

lasaab Posts: 8Hi there,
I'm trying to figure out the best possible lease deal available in California (I'm based in Los Angeles) for a Prius IV. Looking to lease something by April 1.
I don't really care about any of the upgrade options other than leather and navigation, but from what I'm told it makes more sense to get the Prius IV than to look for a Prius III with these two things added.
I want a lease for 24 or 36 months, don't want to put anything other than tax/title/tags down, and need 12k miles per year.
I'd love to get as close to $300 a month including tax as possible. Is that realistic? Whats rates and deals are out there?
Also, are they still leasing 2010 models or do I have to get a 2011 model (and is there a big difference in the models?)?
bondguy1 Posts: 228I am currently leasing a Buick Enclave (huge gas guzzler)...about 18 MPG. My lease is up in early June...I am over by about 9K miles at .15/mile. Locally, here in Florida, they are offering 0% financing on 2011's in 3,4 or 5 year financing. They don't discount from sticker but 0%. I know I want either the IV or V model....not sure I care to spend more on the V for a self parking thing I don't need. I haven't even driven one yet and am planning to go to my local dealer this coming weekend. Need help on options that are good to have. I do like the remote a/c start thing. I have remote engine start on my Enclave and it is great in the hot days of Florida to have the car cooled before I get inside. I need leather seats (either package). And, we purchased at a one price dealer 7 years ago in Manchester, NH (named Autofair Totyota). It was a great experience. They arranged trucking it to FL and financing too. I don't mind going out of state but I don't want to get a better price up front and pay for it on the financing back end percentage. Any help would be appreciated...thanks in advance. BTW, my Sienna XLE Limited (2004) is still going strong....just broke 159K miles and never a day of problems.
jayrider Posts: 3,487I bought a IV with mats and nothing else. Has everything I need. For 10k less you can buy a 2011 Ford Focus SEL with leather. I wanted a hatchback or might have gone that route. MPG is fine for the Focus and the 10k difference will likely never be made up with the higher mpg in the Prius.
jayrider Posts: 3,487You don't want to pay anything down in a lease. Add the $51 to the lease to cover your 1999 and then divide the sales tax by 39. Assuming the msrp is 24400 then your monthly payment is about 240 without tax and fees. At 1% of the msrp, the lease is very good. There should be some discount off msrp however [with gas skyrocketing maybe not]. Keep in mind that you are leasing beyond the 36 month warranty so a 36 month lease makes more sense. Your payment will be higher of course.
juliannm Posts: 2Jayrider,
Went to the dealership and basically they said they take it or leave it. They can't keep the Prius in stock, in fact, they don't have any 2011 models on the lot (and won't have any for the next 3-5 weeks.) .
They also had 2 CPO'S -- 2008 and 2009 for $22,100 and $22,700 -- both with 25k mileage. It doesn't make sense to me to buy used for this price when I can get a new for 24K+ which seems to include 2 years free maintenence? My brain hurts.
Thanks for your help -- these forums are so helpful (also sorry for posting the lease question in wrong section)

manku Posts: 33I'm thinking about a Prius as my current (audi) car lease is up...not thrilled about the car, but cheaper insurance and gas offset the lack of driving excitement.
In any case, I have been quoted 309/month, first month free (only dmv) + state taxes for a Prius III in white...no nav or sunroof. Seems like a decent deal, especially with some dealers now deciding not to discount the Priuses with gas prices spiking. Comments anyone?
Unfortunately, my lease wasn't up in October...my friend got a V with NAV for the same price! -
jayrider Posts: 3,487When I bought my prius in August, the 2 local lots had 70 cars on their lots. Now there are 6. A few are loaded IV's and V's priced in the mid 30's. Not a good time to buy around here. Bad trades and lots of dealer add-ons. I'm surprised and pleased to hear of anyone getting a deal in this market.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 When David's time to die approached, he charged his son Solomon, saying, | 1 When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son. |
2 "I'm about to go the way of all the earth, but you - be strong; show what you're made of! | 2 "I am about to go the way of all the earth," he said. "So be strong, show yourself a man, |
3 Do what God tells you. Walk in the paths he shows you: Follow the life-map absolutely, keep an eye out for the signposts, his course for life set out in the revelation to Moses; then you'll get on well in whatever you do and wherever you go. | 3 and observe what the LORD your God requires: Walk in his ways, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and requirements, as written in the Law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go, |
4 Then God will confirm what he promised me when he said, 'If your sons watch their step, staying true to me heart and soul, you'll always have a successor on Israel's throne.' | 4 and that the LORD may keep his promise to me: 'If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.' |
5 "And don't forget what Joab son of Zeruiah did to the two commanders of Israel's army, to Abner son of Ner and to Amasa son of Jether. He murdered them in cold blood, acting in peacetime as if he were at war, and has been stained with that blood ever since. | 5 "Now you yourself know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me--what he did to the two commanders of Israel's armies, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. He killed them, shedding their blood in peacetime as if in battle, and with that blood stained the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet. |
6 Do what you think best with him, but by no means let him get off scot-free - make him pay. | 6 Deal with him according to your wisdom, but do not let his gray head go down to the grave in peace. |
7 "But be generous to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite - extend every hospitality to them; that's the way they treated me when I was running for my life from Absalom your brother. | 7 "But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai of Gilead and let them be among those who eat at your table. They stood by me when I fled from your brother Absalom. |
8 "You also will have to deal with Shimei son of Gera the Benjaminite from Bahurim, the one who cursed me so viciously when I was on my way to Mahanaim. Later, when he welcomed me back at the Jordan, I promised him under God, 'I won't put you to death.' | 8 "And remember, you have with you Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who called down bitter curses on me the day I went to Mahanaim. When he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD: 'I will not put you to death by the sword.' |
9 But neither should you treat him as if nothing ever happened. You're wise, you know how to handle these things. You'll know what to do to make him pay before he dies." | 9 But now, do not consider him innocent. You are a man of wisdom; you will know what to do to him. Bring his gray head down to the grave in blood." |
10 Then David joined his ancestors. He was buried in the City of David. | 10 Then David rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. |
11 David ruled Israel for forty years - seven years in Hebron and another thirty-three in Jerusalem. | 11 He had reigned forty years over Israel--seven years in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem. |
12 Solomon took over on the throne of his father David; he had a firm grip on the kingdom. | 12 So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his rule was firmly established. |
13 Adonijah son of Haggith came to Bathsheba, Solomon's mother. She said, "Do you come in peace?" | 13 Now Adonijah, the son of Haggith, went to Bathsheba, Solomon's mother. Bathsheba asked him, "Do you come peacefully?" He answered, "Yes, peacefully." |
14 And then, "May I say something to you?" "Go ahead," she said, "speak." | 14 Then he added, "I have something to say to you." "You may say it," she replied. |
15 "You know that I had the kingdom right in my hands and everyone expected me to be king, and then the whole thing backfired and the kingdom landed in my brother's lap - God's doing. | 15 "As you know," he said, "the kingdom was mine. All Israel looked to me as their king. But things changed, and the kingdom has gone to my brother; for it has come to him from the LORD. |
16 So now I have one request to ask of you; please don't refuse me." "Go ahead, ask," she said. | 16 Now I have one request to make of you. Do not refuse me." "You may make it," she said. |
17 "Ask King Solomon - he won't turn you down - to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife." | 17 So he continued, "Please ask King Solomon--he will not refuse you--to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife." |
18 "Certainly," said Bathsheba. "I'll speak to the king for you." | 18 "Very well," Bathsheba replied, "I will speak to the king for you." |

Town Of DISH Paypal Account
A donate button is added to the left side of the screen that will take you directly to paypal. This will allow you to donate directly to the Town of DISH. These donation will go directly to the town's legal fees. This will not go to me or any other cause. Thanks for everyone's support.
The documents and the format was agreed upon and sent by the town to the Texas Pipeline Association's attorney in December. They are in possession of all the documents requested. Our legal position is very clear, and I likely should not share any more of our legal position. The latest threat seems to only have one thing in mind, and that is to cost us more money. If they file suit against us, or file a complaint with the Attorney General, it will cost us thousands more in legal fees, which we can not afford. They are looking to make an example out of myself and this small community for daring to challenge them, and would like to send a message to others who might try to take them on.
One message became clear yesterday is that many people wanted to donate to help in our legal expenses. Although, I would never solicit donations, the town has and will accept donations. We actually got some unsolicited donations for our air study. At any time you may send a donation to the DISH town hall at:
5413 Tim Donald Rd.
In addition we will be setting up a paypal account to facilitate online donations, which I will share when it is complete. Again, I am not soliciting donations for the town, however, if you feel the need, we can accept them. Please make any checks payable to the Town of DISH. Please do not make checks payable to me, or even address donations to me. All donations will go towards the Town of DISH's growing legal fees. Thanks again for all of your help.

The Threat?
The only thing that I questioned with the request was that they were asking for personal medical information from the citizens of DISH. Of course they only wished to use this information to vilify the very citizens that they are poisoning. So, I questioned the legality of their request, like any good mayor would do. However, from the latest letter they are threatening to file suit against the town and file a complaint with the attorney general.
We have been more than cooperative with with those in the Texas Pipeline Association, who made this public information request. What they are trying to do is come of with frivolous allegations, to run up the legal fees for our community. As with with everything that I have done thus far, I am only trying to protect the citizens of this community, and I will not back down. I have long ago quit worrying about myself, and now only worry about my family and my citizens. I need your support.

My Experience With The Texas Railroad Commission
It became apparent that the 3 members of the commission had been fully briefed on myself, and the situation in DISH by the industry. They also clearly did not reach out to me for my input on the situation, prior to me testifying. This shows that they are responsible only to the industry that they regulate, not the people who have to live with their poor decision making. To make matters worse, the line of questioning came directly from the press release that was released by the attorney for the Texas Pipeline Association. I must admit that I have no shortage of arrogance, but compared to this group, my arrogance is not even on the chart.
They initially began to question the qualification of our consultants. Which is exactly what the industry has done. However, both of our consultants are far more nationally recognized as being experts in the area of air quality and health effects, than anyone who works for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), or the Railroad Commission of Texas. Both are recognized as experts or geniuses, and are often called to serve on national committees on these subjects. I would suspect that no one from the state agencies mentioned have ever been asked to serve on anything at a national level.
There are some very sharp people who work for TCEQ, but they will likely be working for the industry soon. However, Mr. Carrillo did not do that research, before he questioned their qualifications, and therefore, makes himself look like a fool. I suspect that a jury would feel the same way; if we ever made it to that point the incompetence of these agencies would become very apparent. So they should likely be careful in what their chasing, cause they just may catch it.
Mr. Carrillo then proceeded to inform me that the massive airport located in DISH could be the cause of all of these problems. He further went on to tell me that all of the "crop dusters" located at this airport carried pesticides and toxins that could have lead to the results of the air study. I am not sure if you have ever visited Clark Airport here in DISH, but it is very apparent that neither Mr. Carrillo, or whoever it was that gave him the information has either. The airport has all of about ten aircraft housed there, with an average of one or two flights per day...not exactly DFW. In the seven years I have lived here, there has not been a crop duster, pesticides, or even aircraft fuel stored there. Not sure where they got there information, but it was wrong, and again they looked like fools.
They were also well aware of the findings that would soon be reported on the air samples taken in Fort Worth. And though when our results in DISH came out, everyone said that more testing was needed. I did not hear that from the TCEQ report of Fort Worth. It does not take a great deal of knowledge in the area of air testing to know that the conditions on the days the tests were taken in Fort Worth was not ideal to find anything. Further it is common knowledge that the compounds will not vaporize on cold days. I believe that most experts, would not have even bothered taking samples on days like this, unless they were working for the industry attempting to come up clean.
Apparently, TCEQ was not too confident in their work either, because someone in the organization found it necessary to put a disclaimer on the bottom of all slides showing lab results. This essentially says the results are not worth the paper they are written on. I am not sure what they were trying to accomplish, but it is clear that some one is grasping here. I wonder...why can't they just do the right thing and clean this mess up. Everyone knows these activities produce hazardous air pollutants. The EPA, TCEQ and the companies themselves have this top secret information posted everywhere in brochures and presentations. It would sure be easier on me, if these folks would start being the good neighbors, they brag about being. Instead they get a bunch of paid liers to spread garbage, and promise the moon.
So to summarize, the commissioners allowed me to say my piece and I appreciate that. However, I also think the travel to Austin to meet before the kangaroo court was a waste of my precious time. The industry can do it right, why they don't is beyond me. If something doesn't change soon, it won't matter where you live. The ambient air will be toxic enough to effect our health throughout the whole region. So much for moving to the country for the clean air.

DISH Mayor Calvin Tillman Comments to Railroad Commission of Texas January 12, 2010
DISH is located in Denton County, about 30 miles directly north of downtown Fort Worth. As you well know we are in the epicenter of the Barnett Shale, one of the world's largest gas shales. The town of DISH is home to 180 citizens and makes up a geographic area of approximately two square miles, and we have an annual budget of around $ 70,000. We once made national headlines for changing the name of our community to DISH in exchange for free dish network. However, we recently made national news for the toxic air surrounding our community. In addition to being the home to free dish network, the town of DISH is also home to eleven high pressure natural gas transmission lines, eleven natural gas compressors, four metering stations, as wells as dozens of wells and gathering lines.
Texas has an immense history of oil and gas production. Deep into the history of the United States, Texas has supplied this country with these resources. The Barnett Shale adds to this deep tradition of energy production. Just a couple of years ago the Barnett Shale added 10 billion dollars and 100,000 jobs to this economy. With something of that magnitude, and so much at stake, we must do everything in our power to do it right. Currently, this industry is not doing it right, and the State of Texas is not forcing them to do it right.
As previously mentioned, the town of DISH is home to eleven natural gas compressors. These compressors are owned by five separate companies, and each of these companies independently permitted these sites; however, logistically and operationally, I believe this is one site. This site has caused concern for both the citizens of DISH and the municipal government. The current concern is the toxins and odor produced by this site.
We have been complaining about his odor for 18 months without any relief. Our complaints were to the operators as well as the state regulatory agencies, including the Railroad Commission of Texas. These complaints again led to know relief. Based on the complaints, the operators of this site performed an air study aimed at finding the source of this odor; or so they said. It really was designed to find nothing at all, and that is exactly what it did. This shows that these operators intentionally tried to mislead the members of this community. It is my believe that each of these companies, and the regulatory bodies over them, are fully aware of what toxins are omitted by these facilities, and attempted to hide this with the study they performed.
After this deceitful act the town of DISH was left with no other option but to perform its own study. Therefore, the town of DISH spent 15% of its tiny budget to have a comprehensive air study accomplished. This air study showed sixteen toxins above established effects screening levels, including benzene. Other toxins were 100 times the established effects screening levels. There have been other private studies and testing performed by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality that has confirmed the presence of these toxins. For the past several years the citizens in our area have been forced to live with this state produced risk.
Please allow me to clarify that the effects screening levels are determined by occupational exposure. This is due to the fact that you are not supposed to be exposed to these toxins in your home. They are set on the thirty year old male, who is exposed to these toxins for eight hours a day and five days a week. Not the stay at home mom, elderly person, or infant child subject to this twenty four seven. I would argue that there is no safe levels for benzene or many other toxins detected in DISH for that matter.
It does not have to be this way. I believe that the natural gas industry can co exist with human life. However, the state of Texas needs to try something new...regulation. There are many small things that can be done to prevent sites such as the one in DISH from poisoning it neighbors. These things are not secrets, nor is it new technology that has not been tested. This technology is well known, and is mandated in many other states. Things known as green completions, vapor recovery, special valves and scrubbers can cut out over ninety five percent of these emissions.
Many of the same companies who have refused to use this technology in Texas, have not only used it in other states, but bragged on the amount of money they have saved by employing it. There are a number of presentations on the internet from these companies outlining their programs in other states. Many are partners in the EPA's natural gas star program.
So why not here? Why are these systems not used in the largest urban drilling environment in the world? Many of the leaders of this company have been quoted as saying that "they could not justify using this technology to its shareholders without it being mandatory". Therefore, this industry will do the right things only when mandated by regulation.
I have recently echoed others call for a moratorium on gas drilling in the Barnett Shale; however, I believe this should not only include drilling but all aspects of natural gas production, such as pipelines and compressors. This moratorium should be in place until we can guarantee the safety of those around these facilities. It is clear that we have a weakness in the current system of permitting these facilities. Therefore, it would benefit everyone to take a break, and review the current rules and regulations to determine if they are adequate. As previously stated, this is much to important for failure, and therefore it is time for us to do it right.
I further believe that this is needed to save this industry from its self, as well as the innocent citizens, which each of us swore to protect. If the current situation is left alone you will have the empirical evidence that everyone is looking for. There will be children with leukemia, high cancer rates, birth defects, and neurological problems. Who among you would like for that to happen on your watch? Who wants that to be their legacy they leave behind when you take up the rocking chair. This scenario has played out in many other places, and it has always ended the same...death and sickness.
What if we did it right here in Texas? What if we didn't wait for leukemia, and birth defects to begin trending upward in places like DISH or Fort Worth, which is home to 700,000 people, and is the largest urban drilling area in the world? We could stop the inevitable from happening here.
When I first agreed with the suggestions to have a moratorium, I heard many comments from industry insiders such as, let's turn off his power for thirty days and see how he likes the moratorium then. Many have also jokingly asked if I still start my own car. Please note that I am not some radical environmentalist who doesn't believe in any energy source, nor am I anti-drilling, or anti industry. I am a honest, hard working American who pays my taxes, and it does not take genius who live around this activity to see something is wrong. As one of the outspoken Town Commissioners in DISH said, "a blind hog could look at this compressor site and see something is wrong". We in the town of DISH have seen many benefits from this boom, and hope with some minor alterations to the current business practices this could be a win-win for everyone.
It is my understanding that this commission is considering sending a request to the Attorney General to determine if you have the power to not issue permits. First, I find this extremely disturbing that as those elected to regulate this industry you have to ask that question. Further, you have a legal staff at your disposal to help you make these decisions. If you cannot with hold a permit, what is the use in making them get a permit? This could certainly be looked at as a way to stall a decision by this commission. What is the use in having the Railroad Commission of Texas for that matter.
I believe as mayor of the town of DISH, that I could impose a moratorium and be within my legal rights to do so, based on the data collected there.
I believe you should impose the moratorium and let the industry tell you why you can't. If a moratorium were imposed, this industry would certainly be more agreeable to taking some of the minor measures that would alleviate some of these problems spoke about here today. You see the steps that have been taken in other states voluntarily, such a Chesapeake agreeing not to drill in the New York City watershed. I, as well as most of the people I represent, and talk to on this subject do not want this industry to go away, but simply want it to be responsible and respectful.

DISH Mayor to speak before the Railroad Commission of Texas
The Railroad Commission apparently does not know whether they can stop issuing permits, although they are the organization that grants permits. Therefore, they are proposing to write a letter to the Texas Attorney General for an opinion on whether they have the authority to not issue a permit. Does anybody admit to voting for these folks? This certainly smells like someone is trying to stall because they know it will take the attorney general six months to make a determination. Here are some stories that talk about the issue.
For Immediate Release: DISH TX Mayor Calvin Tillman to Speak at North Central Texas Communities Alliance Meeting
DISH Mayor to speak on Air Quality Issues, And Discusses The Calls For A Moratorium On Natural Gas Activity In The Barnett Shale
DISH, TX -- The results of a DISH, Texas municipal Ambient Air Quality Study recently revealed high concentrations of toxic air emissions, including neurotoxins and carcinogens, near and on residential properties in the small town of DISH, Texas. DISH Mayor Calvin Tillman has been asked to speak at the North Central Texas Communities Alliance meeting on January 13, 2010 to discuss this testing. Other items that will be discussed is a new policy implemented by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in the Barnett Shale. Mayor Tillman will also discuss the proposed moratorium on gas drilling throughout the Barnett Shale. This meeting was originally scheduled to be held on January 7, 2010; however, it was postponed due to bad weather.
DISH is located in the epicenter of the Barnett Shale gas play and is home to a megacomplex of compressor stations, as well as pipelines, metering stations, gathering lines and gas wells.

Gold Star Texan Award
The Texas Progressive Alliance announced on Wednesday the annual list of "Gold Star Texans" for 2009: Ramey Ko, Calvin Tillman, State Representative Elliott Naishtat, Texas Watchdog, and Hank Gilbert. This recognition is voted on annually by the members of the Texas Progressive Alliance, the largest state-level organization of bloggers, blogs, and netroots activists in the United States.
Ramey Ko Ramey Ko is an attorney and activist in Austin. He should be best known for his work in Asian Americans for Obama, but Republican stupidity assured us he will be best known as "the guy who held his cool while on the receiving end of a massive dose of both ignorance and racism from Betty Brown." With extreme professionalism, he tried to help Brown understand why it would behoove her and all Texans that voting rights for Asian Texans and all Texans not fall prey to bureaucratic errors creating name mismatches. Brown's ignorance/racism and Ko's cool reasonableness drew worldwide media attention. Watch the video of their exchange.
Calvin Tillman Calvin is mayor of a tiny town at the epicenter of the Barnett Shale. Several industry giants seized DISH land and installed a several huge compressor stations and processing plants right next to neighborhoods. They built a crisscross of pipelines all through the town and on private property. He has taken a hard line with industry, crafting a strategy to get the most bang for his press releases.
Calvin and the DISH City Council spent @ 10% of their yearly budget for a private ambient air study. This is the first such study where the results were made public so that all citizens in the Barnett Shale area might benefit. The levels of toxins were amazingly high and many DISH residents are seriously ill but they are poor and do not have health insurance. Calvin worked with TDSHS and finally got them to agree to test DISH residents. This is the first time a state agency has tested residents for drilling toxins. Calvin travels to other areas and speaks about these issues. He has offered to speak and assist others and refuses any compensation for travel or time.
Calvin is largely responsible for TCEQ's changed policy, announced today, in responses to Barnett Shale air emissions. Also, he is a blogger.
State Rep. Elliott Naishtat and his Capitol Staff While he may not be a native Texan, the work that Representative Naishtat has done for the State of Texas earns him a spot on the Texans of the Year List for 2009. Even with Voter ID putting a choke-hold on progress, Naishtat and his Capitol staff worked diligently to pass more legislation than any other member of the House during the 81st session. The Representative from Queens, who just completed his 10th session, has consistently proven himself to be an advocate for the sick and elderly, passing legislation that will create the Legislative Committee on Aging and ensuring Texas receives $15.2 million in Violence Against Women Act grants. We would be remiss in acknowledging Elliott Naishtat -- as the Representative is always quick to remind people -- without also recognizing his longtime staffers (Dorothy Browne, Nancy Walker and Judy Dale) who work tirelessly behind the scenes to help make Texas a better, safer place to live.
Texas Watchdog Texas Watchdog had a role in breaking stories in the just-completed Houston city elections. Though their work can, at times, be controversial, we welcome another online news organization to the Texas media landscape with our nomination of the group.
Hank Gilbert For his continuing work to defeat infrastructure privatization schemes and working with Democrats and more than a few Republicans, he helped put a stop to CDA's this past session and handed Governor Perry and Commissioner Todd Staples a rare defeat.

Kids Learn n Play ABC (Free) 1.3 Review
Help your child learn letters and beginner's vocabulary with Kids Learn n Play ABC (Free).
If your child can't put down your smartphone or tablet, it's good to have an array of fun but educational games on retainer. Kids Learn n Play (Free) is designed to help them learn their ABCs, but it's not as deep or polished as other learning games on Android and there are a few other issues that detract from its ability to help your kids learn the alphabet or spelling.
There might be an initial moment of confusion because the app shows up as "English Alphabet" in your phone's app launcher. It has two learning modes and two game modes. The learning modes -- one sounds out the letters while the other shows vocab cards -- require constant tapping. The game modes make your child pop balloons to hear letters in order and find letters in a group. Kids Learn n Play is narrated by a female voice with a heavy accent. Some of the letters and words are actually pronounced incorrectly and spelled wrong - such as spelling yacht "yatch" and pronouncing it to rhyme with "watch." The game requires constant babysitting, too. Some of the ads block parts of the game to set up accidental taps and levels have to be advanced, manually.
For an educational app, Kids Learn n Play's errors are problematic. We recommend you look for something else to help your child learn the ABCs.
