Beko cooker grill defect warning on LPG models
Hundreds more untraced cookers converted to LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) could contain a potentially lethal defect, manufacturer Beko says.
The fault, responsible for eight deaths, was thought to apply to 13 models and affect 21,000 cookers, of which 6,000 have yet to be traced.
Now Beko has said 837 converted Beko, Leisure or Flavel models made before 2009, may pose a serious safety risk.
A company spokesman said that 480 of these are as yet untraced.
Affected LPG models must include
- All Beko, Leisure and Flavel models manufactured before 2009
- Cookers adapted to LPG using a genuine Beko LPG conversion kit
- Models with a separate grill and oven which have not had a door seal modification
He told BBC News the LPG conversion kits were supplied in the UK for cookers with a separate grill and oven.
"We want to find them urgently so we can implement the simple modification, free of charge, and eliminate the safety risk," he said.
"When we identified the issue with the LPG conversions on these specific models, we immediately instructed our call centres to tell anyone who requested a kit from Beko that they had to make the door seal modification as part of the installation.
"We also started to include instructions in the LPG conversion kits we supplied that the modification to the door seal must be made when the kit is installed."
Affected mains gas models
- Beko models DCG8511WLPG, DCG8511PLW and DG581LWP
- Leisure models CM10NRK, CM10NRC, AL6NDW, CM101NRCP and CM101NRKP
- Flavel models DCGAP5LS, AP5LDWP, AP5LDW, AP5LDSP and Flavel Milano ML5NDS
- Anyone with one of these models is asked to call Beko on 0800 917 0555 in the UK or 1800 252 925 in Ireland for a free safety inspection
Beko began a product recall in November 2008 when it became aware of a safety risk if the grill on certain models was turned on while the door was closed.
Richard Smith, 30, and 34-year-old Kevin Branton died in November 2010 when their Flavel cooker's grill produced high levels of carbon monoxide at their home in Saltash, Cornwall.
In December, Cornwall trading standards told the inquest into their deaths at least six other people had died as a result of the "known" defect.
Beko said it was still trying to trace 6,100 of the 21,000 customers who have bought the potentially defective mains gas models.
The updated safety information about all of its cookers has been put on its website.
Adverts will also be placed in national newspapers and other media outlets, the Beko spokesman said, as well as a targeted advertising campaign for caravanning websites.

One recent afternoon, while waiting for the light to turn green on NE 36th Street at Second Avenue, I am transfixed by a yellow homemade-looking sign stuck to a railroad crossing pole near the train tracks that snake underneath Interstate 195.
The placard heralds a message, written in schizophrenic letters with black Sharpie ink, aimed at married women: "Fix wut your husband destroyed!" accompanied by a phone number.
Just below that one, a second scribbled notice proclaims, "I'll buy your house CASH," and lists a different number.
I begin noticing similar roadside signs throughout Miami-Dade — in medians, at key intersections and major thoroughfares, near expressway exit ramps, even on a manicured lawn.
One crumpled white posterboard offers a "handyman special 3/1 corner lot $45,000 CASH ONLY BUYER." A sticker advertises a Spanish-speaking online dating service called EchatePaca. Another label hawks a gym membership for $50 a month. And a professional-looking red-and-white sign declares in Spanish: "Speak English in six months, excellent results," while another just below it promotes tarot card readings for $10.
All the signs promise quick and easy solutions to problems facing local inhabitants. I jot down each phone number, with a clear objective:
By the time this article is published, I will know how to speak English using a hokey teaching method developed by a 32-year-old Little Havana language academy; unload a house despite having an upside-down mortgage; get buff; start a thriving career flipping foreclosed properties; run a handyman referral service; and make a love connection on the Interwebs.
A burly man with short, curly hair and a thin goatee sits on the black leather sofa in my living room. He is dressed in a dark polo shirt and dark-brown slacks. His name is Juan Carlos Medina, a 38-year-old Colombian who is there to pitch a foolproof system to learn English. It's June 29 shortly past 8 p.m., about six hours after he returned my call inquiring about his services. During the phone conversation, I didn't reveal I was a reporter or that I fluently spoke the language of this country's forefathers.
In Spanish, I told him my country of origin: Nicaragua. I also claimed to know only some words in English. "Well, I can tell you with our method, you will be conversing in English within a month," Juan Carlos attested. "You will be able to go into a restaurant without requesting a server who speaks Spanish."
When we meet that evening, Juan Carlos doesn't notice the framed Miami New Times covers bearing my byline or the bookcase lined with the works of James Ellroy, Ernest Hemingway, Chuck Palahniuk, George Pelecanos, Ray Bradbury, and my other favorite authors. He unzips a black duffel bag and pulls out three gray binder-size DVD cases stamped with a circular logo with the words Hablando Inglés. He opens the cases, each containing four DVDs and an exercise book. He places his wares, along with a set of 12 CDs, on my glass-top coffee table.
Then he launches into his spiel in Spanish. "I'm not just selling you a bunch of DVDs and CDs and leaving you on your own," Juan Carlos says. "You are going to have our professors and our academy at your disposal. We start you out learning 35 words a week. By the fourth week, you'll be stringing together entire sentences in English."
I would learn the new language, Juan Carlos informs me, by pronouncing English words using Spanish phonetics. He opens one of the instructional books to a page that contains the following sentence in English: "The girl is beautiful." Next to the sentence is the Spanish pronunciation: "De guerl is biutiful." Juan Carlos reads it aloud. Then I do so as well. "See how easy it is?" he beams. "But it's also how much time and effort you put into the program."
He moves on to the next lesson: "De guerl is mor biutiful dan An." Translation: "The girl is more beautiful than Ann." Juan Carlos notes that Shakira used a similar audio-visual language instruction course to sing in Japanese during a concert in Tokyo. I will also have access to one-on-one instructional sessions with Hablando Inglés professors at the Miami academy located in Little Havana, Juan Carlos promises. If I can't get to the school, no problem, he adds.
He grabs his cell phone and dials a number listed on the front of the exercise book. He hands me the phone. A man with a thick Cuban accent answers in Spanish: "It is my pleasure to speak with you. My name is Rodolfo, and I am one of the teachers at the academy. You can call in from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and we are at your service."
The DVDs, CDs, books, and academy access — along with a pair of headphones, an MP3 player, and a dictionary — can all be mine for a down payment of $250 and the low price of $67 a month over four years, the salesman offers. He even throws in a contraption with a speaker that I'm supposed to attach to the inside of my elbow when I go to sleep so that my subconscious can learn English while I'm knocked out.
"Is that a deal or what?" Juan Carlos quizzes me. "And the best part is that once you're paid off, you can use our products and services for the rest of your life."
I tell him I'll get back to him. There is a romantic flair to the phonetic pronunciations that could come in very handy if I find my soul mate on echatepaca.com.
The following day, I call Juan Carlos and take a pass on Hablando Inglés by speaking to him in perfect English. He is quite surprised how quickly I have mastered the language. That's when I tell him I've been speaking English for 31 years. "Well now I feel like a pendejo," he says, bursting out laughing.
Next, I call the number on the "Handyman Special." It leads me to a two-bedroom, one-bath, single-story residence at 1210 NW 125th St. in North Miami. The house could use a fresh coat of exterior paint to replace the drab light-pink color scheme. Tall weeds and overgrown bushes have devoured the front yard. The roof looks like it needs work. And the windows are boarded up. But for $48,500 it's a steal, Dean gushes when he answers the phone. He tells me I don't necessarily need all the cash to buy the house. "If you can come up with 40 percent and closing costs, we can get you a hard-money loan," Dean explains. "But to be honest, $5,000 to $10,000 is not going to be enough."
Dean claims to be a real estate investor residing in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but buying and selling properties in Miami-Dade. He is among dozens of land hustlers whose roadside signs troll for customers. All of them are looking to capitalize on the recession. Some act as middlemen for banks hoping to unload their housing inventory from the record rash of foreclosures in Miami-Dade.
Dean, who declines to provide his surname, boasts he earns $10,000 to $15,000 on each of his real estate transactions. He asks me if I am looking to buy the North Miami abode as an investment. "You may want to do a mentorship program with me," Dean suggests. "I can teach you. Making one deal will pay back your investment. And you can do it from anywhere in the world. All you need is a phone and a computer."
Basically, he would generate sales leads for me and give me access to his hard-money lenders to start closing deals. "You have access to my information and my connections," Dean offers. "You have access to my inventory. If I have seven, eight properties to show investors, so do you."
Essentially, Dean tries to sell recently foreclosed properties owned by banks and lenders to real estate investors looking to buy houses at drastically reduced prices. In the case of the North Miami home, it used to be owned by a man named Jean Carlo Adrasse, who took out a $210,000 mortgage to buy the property in 2007. He stopped making payments a year later. In 2009, his lender, Countrywide Home Loans Service, filed a lawsuit against Adrasse to foreclose on the residence. According to court documents, Adrasse owed $210,000 plus late charges and attorney fees.
When the house was sold at auction last September 28, Countrywide bought it back for just $20,300. Dean is now marketing the property at more than double the bank's purchase price. And that's how the real estate cycle renews itself over and over.
"This is a great time to be selling to investors," he brags. "You can make $8,000 on one deal. Do three or four a month, and you're doing pretty good. I've even made $30,000 on just one deal."
A graduate of Miami Beach High, Dean says he moved to New Mexico a few years ago when his wife landed a job with the government. He doesn't specify which agency. "I enjoy teaching people my business," he says. "I taught my uncle, who is still in Miami. He was literally broke. Now he's making close to $150,000 a year."
A six-figure salary would certainly increase my chances of finding a date on echatepaca.com, I ponder. I had set up a profile on the dating service two weeks ago and still hadn't met any women. In fact, I couldn't even get a conversation started in the chatroom. No one understood the English Juan Carlos taught me.
Dean assures me his business model would get me laid and rich at the same time.
He gives me another phone number, his private line, to call him back if I decide to take him up on his apprenticeship offer.
I meet Samuel Pichardo at a table outside the Starbucks on Biscayne Boulevard at NE 135th Street. The 23-year-old North Bay Village resident, with his oval-framed eyeglasses and skinny body, resembles an Xbox champ rather than a shrewd businessman with a plan to conquer the handyman market within the tri-county region one roadside sign at a time. "Road signs have an extremely high return call rate," Pichardo says authoritatively. "It costs me $1.50 per sign, which generates five to ten calls. The key is placing the signs in high-density places."
Pichardo is the mastermind behind the "Fix wut your husband destroyed" sign. His number leads to the handyman referral business he started more than a year ago with his 31-year-old girlfriend, Ena Devi, while they were chilling inside a Barnes & Noble bookstore. She is with Pichardo when we meet at the Starbucks. "Signs work for anything and everything," Devi attests. "I told Sam it would be nice to have one number to get ten handymen to call you back."
They took the idea, got the number, and began putting up signs. Their first office was the back of a hair salon in North Miami Beach. "I met our first customer at a Pollo Tropical," Pichardo recalls. "He gave me $20. From then on, we just kept growing and growing."
Today, Pichardo claims, he has 18 handymen on his rotation. "Ten of them are paying between $300 and $900 a month to let us find them leads. The other eight are on the $80 trial period. We guarantee you at least four leads to start, but we don't promise you will get hired for a job."
After a few minutes, Pichardo and Devi take me to the company office. Earlier this year, they upgraded to a penthouse suite in an office building just a couple of blocks north of the Starbucks, overlooking Biscayne Boulevard. Pichardo employs four people who work strictly on commission. He also has a website that features a Vimeo video of Pichardo sitting at his desk while wearing a hard hat and an unbuttoned dress shirt that shows off part of his bird chest. "It seems I found the magic formula to find that work," Pichardo says in the footage. "I want to extend to you the opportunity to reap the benefits and rewards from what I have to offer."
Pichardo says he places 50 to 100 signs a day at least three times a week from Homestead to West Palm Beach. "Code enforcement officers take down our signs all the time. But the signs are so cheap that we can afford to keep putting up more. So not only are we keeping handymen employed, we are also making sure code enforcement workers still have a job."
(North Miami Code Enforcement director Alan P. Graham, whose city is plastered with road signs, says his department takes down 20 to 30 signs a day. Even though the signs are considered litter, Graham says, the city has no way of enforcing tickets against sign-posters. "The citations are meaningless to them," he says. "We've tried to call people in the past to tell them not to do it, but the next day their signs are back up.")
The son of Dominican and Jamaican parents, Pichardo graduated from Dr. Michael M. Krop High School in 2006. His entrepreneurial streak took hold as a kid playing computer civilization and strategy games such as Command & Conquer and Sim City. "Those games teach you how to build and strategize for life and building a business," Pichardo says. "Whether it's a game or running a real company or managing your personal life, you have to know how to pool your resources if you want to get ahead."
He attended Miami Dade College for a couple of semesters but dropped out to work for Nouveau Riche, a multilevel marketing company that teaches people how to buy and sell real estate. "I was 18 years old when I made my first real estate deal," Pichardo recalls. "I made $42,000." The transaction involved a Miami Beach condo at 1226 Marseille Dr. in which Pichardo owned an interest.
His mentors at Nouveau Riche also taught him about road-sign marketing. "That is how we primarily got our clientele," Pichardo says. "Two of my employees now were recruited by me to work for Nouveau Riche." During the first two years with the company, business was good, the aspiring mogul says. "I accrued a lot of cash, so I started giving people hard-money loans up to $40,000. I still do that, as well as buy and sell real estate at wholesale prices."
By the end of the year, Pichardo wants to have 50 handymen onboard, as well as bases in Broward and Palm Beach counties. He also wants to meet with British aviation and media impresario Richard Branson to share another one of his grand business ideas. Pichardo is very familiar with Branson's grandiose scheme for commercial space travel. "I want to talk to him about developing the first orbital hotel," Pichardo says. "I'm rather disappointed we haven't built one yet."
I ask him if he knows of any roadside signs advertising a dating service, since my chances of finding a woman on echatepaca.com are about as good as Pichardo and Branson in astronaut suits hobnobbing around a space station. Pichardo gives me a quizzical look. "No, haven't seen any of those. But it's a good idea."
On a muggy July evening, more than two dozen people congregate at the lobby bar inside the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. Dressed in a dark dress shirt with a black tie, black vest, and black slacks, Angel Taipale makes his way to the front entrance of the hotel's Arkadia nightclub to talk to me. The 25-year-old Cuban-American works six nights a week as a floor supervisor for Arkadia so that he can dedicate some daytime hours to his fledgling enterprise — buying and selling real estate at wholesale prices to investors. You'll find his number stamped on signs advertising cash for houses. He's also Pichardo's roommate and onetime Nouveau Riche employee. The pair lives in a luxurious two-bedroom condo in North Bay Village.
"I met Sam four years ago at a real estate class he was holding," Taipale says. "He is a really bright kid. He can flip anything. I started off doing leg work on some of Sam's deals." Two years later, he has been doing real estate transactions on his own, as well as partnering with his roommate to buy properties. "I sometimes use his capital to close deals," Taipale admits. "I've already done six transactions on my own this past year. That was my learning curve."
When Taipale gets calls from people wanting to sell a property, he puts them through a screening process to determine how serious they are about quickly consummating a deal. "You have to gauge their motivation to sell first," Taipale says. "So I will ask them a series of questions, like how much they owe the bank and what condition the property is in."
His goal is to buy single-family houses at 50 to 60 percent lower than the assessed market value and then flip the assets to wholesale investors within 30 days. Using Sam's handyman referral service, Taipale fixes up any properties that need work.
On his most recent deal, a three-bedroom house in Miami Gardens, Taipale claims he made a $5,000 profit. "Last year I cleared about $25,000," he says. "I'm also starting to do deals on multihousing units. Right now I have a building with six apartments I'm trying to let go."
Road signs have been his most effective marketing tool, he says. "It generates a high volume of calls while saving me a ton of money on advertising. As a business owner just getting started," he says, "you gotta work with what you got."
The oldest of five siblings, Taipale took a job as a pool attendant after he graduated from Miami Beach Senior High in 2004. Like Pichardo, Taipale also dropped out of Miami Dade College. "I went for about a month," Taipale explains. "But the classes were too slow for me, and I always wanted to be my own boss."
Working at Arkadia, he meets a lot of successful businessmen who provide him with inspiration and leads, Taipale notes. "I've met guys who have money that they don't know what to do with," he says. "These dudes who come to Arkadia can do whatever they want. All they do now is oversee their money. That's something I want."
I feel Taipale's go-getter enthusiasm rubbing off on me. I admire his moxie. He convinces me that I can start my own global empire teaching immigrants English, flipping real estate in the hood, and finding jobs for handymen. But, I think to myself, I still need to get in tip-top physical shape. Not just to prepare myself for my next hustle, but to impress the debutante I might eventually meet via a sign post.
On a late Tuesday afternoon, I come across a road sign promising a buff body in six weeks at Xtreme Gym at 230 71st St. in Miami Beach. Alas, the phone number listed on the cardboard is disconnected. I locate a former gym member named Juan, who informs me Xtreme closed one month after he signed up for a membership. "Luckily I was paying month-to-month," Juan says. "So I only lost the 45 bucks I paid for the first month."
I drive a few blocks north on Collins Avenue when I'm distracted by the marquee of a former movie theater that was built in 1931 on 74th Street. Bold red and black letters read, "Condesa Gym: Drama classes, zumba, tai chi, cardio boxing, belly dance."
I have stumbled on the perfect spot to get fit and learn some acting, which could come in handy in my nascent second career as a road sign entrepreneur. After all, a good salesman has to know when to turn on the charm even if he doesn't have any.
Inside the theater, the scent of stale sweat hits my nostrils like a left hook to the face. Thumping techno music echoes throughout the cavernous auditorium where gym equipment, barbells, and a parquet dance floor have replaced the rows of theater seats. The movie screen is still intact.
Condesa Gym owner Ricardo Brito lounges in a leather chair in the lobby. A salt-and-pepper-haired, muscular man wearing blue jeans and a body-hugging navy polo, Brito explains I can opt for a three-month membership for $100, but for an extra $50, I can also take the classes he offers. The acting component is taught by his Cuban-born wife, who graduated from Havana's Instituto Superior de Arte. "In the fall, we are going to put on local productions on Friday and Saturday evenings," Brito says. "We'll be allowing our students to play roles alongside professional actors."
But that's not all, Brito continues. "We're a dance school too. We teach tango and salsa Tuesday and Thursday evenings." I was set.
By the time I meet my dream woman, I'll be a dashing, hip-swaying real estate mogul with a chiseled body and an ultramagnetic command of the English language.
On a Thursday morning in early August, I park in the semicircular driveway of a single-story blue house on the corner of Sheridan Street and 58th Avenue in Hollywood. Nearly a month after learning English by pronouncing words in Spanish and finding out how I can make money buying and selling real estate using road signs, I still have had no luck getting a date on echatepaca.com. And my mission to track down a dating service on a sign post has hit a dead end. So I called the tarot card reader whose number I saw on a post and now find myself in front of her house. I need some spiritual guidance. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place.
A sandy-blond, middle-aged woman with thick-framed spectacles answers the glass front door. Her name is Valentina, a Catholic woman whose father is from Yugoslavia and mother is from Argentina. She leads me to a room where the deck of tarot cards rests on a table.
"Guen was de las taym ju had a riden?" Valentina asks. I inform her it is my first tarot card reading. "O, berri guut," she replies. "I layk furs-taymars."
She instructs me to cut the deck three times. Then she grabs the cards and begins to lay each one down face-up. "I guill tel ju de trood," Valentina explains. "De guut and de bad."
According to the cards, she says, I need to look after my health. "En six mons, ju mae haf problems wid jur blud," Valentina says. "Et cuud be hai colesterol or hai blud preshur. Ju nid tu exersaese mor."
I would also start something new in my career, she adds. Well, becoming a road sign entrepreneur is definitely on my horizon, I tell her. "Ah," she says. "Guell, de cards sae in tu jers, ju will maek moni. Bot not naow."
I inquire: What about my future lady friend? "I sens daubt," Valentina concedes.
She points to a card depicting a woman under the pale moonlight. "Der es a guman," Valentina asserts. "But shi es duen blak majeek on ju. Shi dun't guant ju tu sockcid. Only fale, fale."
Who is Teresa Guzman ("Der es a guman")? And why would she want me to fail ("fale, fale"), or was it fall?
I was dumbfounded. Here I was searching for a woman, and she had already found me. And it wasn't good.
Valentina instructs me to surround myself with only positive people and energy. Before I leave, she offers her assistance: "I kan halp ju. I kan du a klensin — una limpieza — for ju. But et es goin tu caost ju sum moni."
One hundred fifty dollars to be exact.
I seen one: " Why lie, I need a beer" so I gave him a dollar. Just cause he was honest.
What a wonderful article, the best kind of human interest story. You are a great writer, and to think (grin), you are a Nica! (I joke, I stepped foot in Nicaragua, once, only about fifteen feet).Frank, thank you for the fun story. I have a sign picture to send you, it's fresh and here in the Grove, not quite like your thrust, but it shows our local color.

I hope these fools take down some of those ugly signs. I live in Libery city and these signs are plastered all over the place. Liberty city already have issues with litter, the last thing they need is more litter. If this guy is trying to flip houses, does it not work against them to litter a place that they are trying to sell a house in. I don't mind a few signs but they are putting up hundreds of signs that are making our neighborhood look bad. CLEAN UP OR SHIP OUT!!!
Great Article. I have always thought about doing the exact same thing, maybe I should get a job at Miami New Times.
You really should do an article on how Hispanics in Miami-Dade County has made it so that nonSpanish speaking Americans and legal U.S. residents are unable to find gainful employment within the city limits. You should do an article on how inheretly racist Hispanic Americans in Miami-Dade County are and how they use and dispose of Americans and legal residents who speak only English. That is a story that would earn you a pulitzer. Tell the truth about what Miami Dade County is really like if you are not Hispanic.
Fantastic article. I was cracking up at the "biutiful" part- my girlfriend came over here when she was a kid and still pronounces it "be-a-YU-ti-ful." What was the guy's number again?
Frank has found humor in the daily drudge of Miami-Dade. Great piece, made me smile.
Excellent article. Goes to show how many scammers there are in South Florida. Hence the scammer capital of the world. Besides Nigeria. All we need now is to have people saying they have large sums of money overseas and need your help to take it out for a price.
Good luck with finding a woman on echatepaca.com. lol...
Excellent article! Depicts life in south florida so well..we are full of "inventors" all the time..congrats on this article. Posted to Facebook
Why do you mock a 32 year established Hialeah company that promises/offers to teach English in six months when the University of Miami promises to do a thorough course in teaching/learning Espanol in only seven days?
Maybe UM offers the formal, proper Spanish, which very few in South Florida speak or understand.
It is similar to someone from 'Ox-Bridge' trying to understand someone from the backwoods of Mississippi.
Otherwise, your article was fairly amusing.
So if you are living in Miami and you can't get a job because you don't speak Spanish, then why don't you just learn Spanish? It's not a very hard language to learn. I'm sure you could learn it if you tried.
Calm down! I have a lot of non-Hispanic friends that enjoy Miami very much....stop being such a sourpuss. 95% of Hispanics are very outgoing people, just make an effort to get to know them and stop being a racist!
We shouldn't have to learn spaninsh to get a job because Miami is not in South America. It's in the United States of America and we speak ENGLISH here. A hundred years ago my ancesors immegrated here and they learned English and so should all the people who immegrate today. We build a strong society and a strong country by having a common language. Things fall apart when people cannot communicate effectively. "Trapped In Miami" I really feel for you. My family escaped Kendall 25 years ago and it's only gotten worse since then.
We shouldn't have to. You live in an English speaking country. In fact this country was built on the English language and you should learn English and speak it. And if you don't like that then Leave.

According to Senator Whitsett, the Oregon State Senate unanimously confirmed the appointments of Donna Opitz and Eric Farm to the Port Commission and " followed the lead of three other Coastal caucus Senator members (Roblan, Johnson, Kruse) in voting to confirm their appointments".
Perhaps the Coastal caucus senators can demand an accounting of all monies spent by the port and put the agency on a results or performance based system before enabling the transfer of additional taxpayer funds on development schemes.

Here's a better one, hopefully we're going to see some more real soon, this is for you little al, and your buddies who "take somethin for nothin" from the rest of us:
Karma is a bitch, with a long memory little guy.
I'm directing THIS one to you little guy, and all your sychophants who have pulled the wool for forty years with this Port.

Bankruptcy attorney Kevyn Orr to begin job he sees as "the Olympics of restructuring
– Andrea Germanos, staff writer
In what has been described as "the largest state takeover of a city in U.S. history," an emergency financial manager has been officially appointed for Detroit.

Rick Snyder and unanimously approved by the Emergency Financial Assistance Loan Board on Thursday afternoon, bankruptcy attorney Kevyn Orr will begin his role as emergency financial manager for an 18-month term starting March 25.
Kind of an experiment in government privatization, or more succinctly, privatize the profits and socialize the losses. I highly doubt one would ever hear someone from the port, or any of the bakers dozen of development agencies, or their spokespeople say the port should be put back in local voter control. Just questioning the appointments without a vote gets them squealing. Good ol' small gubment repubs.
Well, here's what I wrote to all the legislators involved — for all the good it did:
"I'm writing in opposition to the appointments of Donna Opitz and Eric Farm to the Coos Bay Port Commission.
My opposition to these two appointments is not based on personal antagonism. Instead, it rests on two considerations, both of which pertain to the economic future of our area.
The first consideration is that neither one of these individuals is any more qualified to serve the interests of the residents of the Port District than are the other, still serving port commissioners. For example, Donna Opitz is the widow of a former director of the South Coast Development Corporation, a body that's been around for a dozen years to foster "economic development" and has achieved absolutely nothing. But the same can be said of the other dozen-and-a-half economic development agencies around here, including the port commission itself; and this is the second consideration. All their efforts have not just failed; they've been counterproductive. I have documented this in my recently-published book "The Job Messiahs," which documents nearly four decades of disastrous "economic development" programs in Coos Bay.
Instead of appointing anybody to the Coos Bay Port Commission, the best thing the Legislature could do would be to return the right to elect and recall their port commissioners to the voters of the port district. That's because, back in 1986, the voters were robbed of those rights by means of audacious election fraud by the Port. The sordid story of that event can be found through this link:
http://mgx.com/blogs/2012/11/10/the-inside-story-of-elections-fraud-and-the-port-of-coos-bay/ That particular article is based on two chapters of my book.Ever since the governor has appointed the Port Commission, the history of the port has been marked by imperious and deceitful manipulations to force obnoxious industries onto an unwilling local population. Not that the Port has ever succeeded; all those plans were either scams or unserious proposals. But they caused great harm to the area by discouraging new residents from settling here, and by blocking alternative, more beneficial developments. Yet all of the governor-appointed appointed commissioners have been of the same predictable mind-set. They supported every industrial development scheme because of their fervent belief in the vast industrial potential of Coos Bay and its harbor. As I have shown in my book, such beliefs are absurd, and the port's fruitless efforts to re-industrialize the Coos Bay area have set our development back decades. For the last thirty years, Coos Bay has been the only stagnant or economically declining part of fast-growing western Oregon. Our social conditions are the worst in the region, as is our unemployment; our cities are full of abandoned homes, and our property values are some 25% lower than in nearby coastal towns such as Florence, Bandon and Brookings.
Coos Bay needs a change of direction, but it will not come from state-appointed port commissioners. The state of Oregon needs to let go of the reins and allow local priorities to work themselves out through the democratic process."
Are you directing that question to me?
You just answered it.
Interesting question, The Reminder. I'll answer your question with a question: are you a psychopath, a schizophrenic or schizoid? You're displaying symptons of each. Please – get help.
So insinuating that you are a liar, or stupid, or both, makes the person that thinks that of you a psychopath, a schizophrenic or schizoid. That means that there are a lot of us running loose around you. That should make you feel safe at night, knowing you moved to a community with so many dangerous people near you who know where you work. Be very careful, you might piss off the wrong person with statements like that, especially if they are what you surmise. But dealing with a liar or a stupid person strikes no fear in such people, just anger.
I'm adding anger issues to your list of travails, Reminder. Seriously – get help.
You have a comprehension problem. I never said i was angry, but you might anger others if you insult the wrong person like that, anyone that does have the problems you listed could be a serious problem for you to deal with, since they could find you very easily.
Thank you, Reminder, for answering my question. I am, however, completely baffled by your ramblings about inner-circles, bounties, dinner parties and tax-payer rip-offs.
Are you really that stupid, or naive, or just a liar?
I guess living with one of the co-architects of the current port agenda makes you qualified to see the deed done. It sure does look like cronyism at its worst.
The SCDC cabal has no limits to their reach, right into the governors office, even after the death of one of the co-founders, his wife is being took care of.
That group must laugh their asses off at their dinner parties, knowing the tax payers are funding their lifestyle, while they continue to produce failures. Meanwhile people like Al are trying their damnedest to penetrate the inner circle and share the bounty of that lifestyle at the tax payers expense.-
All small gubment good ol' boy Republicans I'm sure.
Al, re your post, that's an easy question, neither are qualified. WE the people own the port. The governor works for us as will the two political appointees. Since neither appointee nor the governor has told us why the two are qualified to work for us and develop the port or are qualified to assume the fiduciary responsibility, why don't you tell us? Both are your pals. What has either done to CREATE an industry or jobs? What has either done to develop a port? What experience does either have within the marine industry? Like the unqualiified wife of Messerle who is unable to do anything, we will have the unqualifoed former wife of Opitz unable to do anything – other than spend the peoples money. There are qualified women within Oregon, Why must they be residents of North Bend?
On what grounds did you ask that these two appointees be barred, and who did you recommend as alternatives?
Joaquín Guzmán Loera & Bernard Lawrence Madoff would be appropriate Port alternatives…
The following was sent, part of it was borrowed from Jody, and we are not allowed to make recommendations for alternatives, as you well know. That list is supplied by the governor or his aides give him the list.
* These Two individuals along with the rest of the port commissioners have no issue with putting the citizens of Coos Bay / north bend in peril by allowing the fossil fuel industries to put profit ahead of public safety.
*The Port has a history of asking for like minded individuals that will support their agenda of holding this port in reserve for the fossil fuel industries while blocking any attempts at setting a more environmentally secure future.
* Neither Farm nor Opitz have any background in port Industries, maritime law, maritime experience or port activities in general.
* Both Farm and Opitz come from the same entrenched group and mindset as those individuals that are already on the Port Commission. They will bring no diversity of opinion to the Commission and do not represent a vast majority of the tax payers in the Port District
* The appointment of Farm and Opitz will mean that there will be no one on the Port Commission that has a good understanding of marine biology, natural resources and the vast biodiversity that is found in the Port District, along with all the jobs that come from those industries.
* The Governor should not have made this decision without consulting with and considering the wishes of all the citizens in the Port District first. Citizens in the Port District should have been allowed to vote and decide for themselves who they want to represent them, particularly since they will have to live with the decisions these appointed Commissioners make.
Since there are so many complex and critical issues that are currently facing our Port District, it is imperative that all the citizens who live in the Port District have their voices heard. Please reject these particular appointments and give us the right to vote on these Port Commission Board positions.
How about Charley Yates?
Here is a funny one. Charlie Yates is married to a Sause… Dale is his father in-law & sold him his first Tug when he was still in high school.
The song remains the same. I guess they needed a woman to replace Caddy, and this one already knows about all the schemes they have in the works, past, current and future. Why should they get a cast of players that might get in the way of those old stale ideas for this port? That might upset the apple cart. They just needed a couple more "Aye" votes at those meetings. Those of us that wrote to the selection committee asking them to block these appointments have been answered loud and clear. Kitzhaber has just the people he needs to satisfy the special interests. The Oregon democrats are showing us who they really work for, Lobbies.

Ingredients & Description
Oceans 3 Beyond Omega-3 Cod Liver Oil is the only Omega-3 liquid supplement available with OmegaXanthin, a synergistic complex of three health-promoting compounds from the ocean. OmegaXanthin provides all the benefits of a high potency Omega-3 supplement plus two ocean-based antioxidants for an amplified range of benefits unmatched by ordinary Omega-3 formulations.What exactly is OmegaXanthin?
Here's the breakdown:
1. Omega-3 Fish Oils
Ultra pure, high potency cod liver oil rich in EPA and DHA, Omega-3 fish oils have become widely known and embraced by the medical and scientific community for the support of cardiovascular, brain and nervous system health.† Oceans 3 is formulated using cod liver oil carefully purified using multiple-stage molecular distillation process that both concentrates the EPA and DHA and removes environmental toxins. The Omega-3 fish oil contained in Oceans 3 Beyond Omega 3 is:
• An excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids - 1,275mg per daily serving
• Super concentrated EPA – 675mg per day
• Super concentrated DHA – 450mg per day
2. Astaxanthin
An extremely powerful antioxidant carotenoid from sea algae, astaxanthin's antioxidant capacity has been shown to be 14 times stronger than vitamin E, 53 times stronger than beta-carotene, and 64 times stronger than vitamin C. As an antioxidant, astaxanthin benefits cardiovascular health, supports the body's natural response to inflammation, immune system health, eye health and even supports healthy skin, bones and joints.
3. Fucoxanthin
A dynamic, antioxidant carotenoid from brown seaweed, fucoxanthin is another ocean-based antioxidant. We know that antioxidants are noted for their ability to fight free radicals at the cellular level. Fucoxanthin has been shown to exert its protective effects directly in fat cells.
The unique trio of ingredients contained in OmegaXanthin have extraordinary health benefits when taken individually. By combining them in Oceans 3 Beyond Omega-3, these components work in harmony providing much more than they could on their own.
Suggested Use: Adults and children 4 years of age and older, take 1 teaspoon daily, with food, or as otherwise directed by your healthcare provider. For optimal freshness, refrigerate after opening and use entire contents within 3 months. Not intended for children under 4 years of age.
Advanced Usage: Adults may gradually increase to 3 teaspoons a day.
Other Ingredients: Natural tangerine flavor, natural orange flavor.
Contains: Vitamin E derived from soy.

Bad News Bulls: Dave's Daily
NEW YORK ( ETF Digest) -- Let's see, Jobless Claims were terrible by recent comparisons and recorded a large miss (380K vs 355K expect and prior revised higher as usual to 367K). Some analysts blamed Easter for the rise which seems odd frankly. Plenty of rumors were planted that China's GDP growth (released Friday) would be better than expected and yields in the eurozone were lower on talk of more ECB buying. None of that is real news yet. Frankly the Chinese can make-up any number they want in their autocracy. Does anyone really believe otherwise?
The real news came from Fed Vice-Chair Janet Yellen who assured QE and ZIRP addicted bulls that ZIRP was here to stay, and by implication, more QE when and as if needed. This comment was echoed by NY Fed governor Dudley who said the Fed is analyzing recent poor employment data to determine if the recovery is losing momentum and more stimulus (Fed speak for more QE) is needed.
This is what this bull market has feasted on the last two years--QE and ZIRP. The Fed has bought 85% of all Treasury debt > 10 year maturities since Operation Twist began in November 2011. So the Treasury sells debt to pay its bills while the Fed prints money to fund it. It's like a government façade fronted by an ATM behind which is a large printing press. A consumer could drain their credit card but there are limits, the Fed has none beyond ink and paper.
Many bulls are also spinning the theme that earnings estimates have been lowered too much and earnings beats will be ubiquitous making PEs seem cheap again.
Stocks rallied sharply to reverse all losses from early in the week. The most oversold sector, materials (XLB) led the rally higher with a short-squeeze evident. Gold (GLD) moved higher, the dollar (UUP) was weaker which lifted other commodity (DBC) markets. Bonds (TLT) saw some profit-taking. After the close Google (GOOG) announced the creation of a new non-voting class of stock which effectively per the founders is a 2 for 1 split. (Beyond a handful of stocks where's the depth of the markets I wonder?) Volume returned to its light melt-up ways and breadth per the WSJ was quite positive. We are definitely no longer short-term oversold. You can follow our pithy comments on twitter & facebook.

Selection procedure for deregulated iron transport mutants (fur) in Escherichia coli K 12: fur not only affects iron metabolism

A selection procedure using Mn2+ is described. A high percentage of the Mn2+ resistant mutants had constitutive iron transport systems. By P1 transduction, and complementation with the cloned fur gene it could be shown that nearly all the mutants constitutive in the expression of the operon fusion fiu::λplacMu were only defective in fur. High concentrations of manganese inhibited the derepression of an iron-regulated lac operon fusion. In another iron-regulated lac operon fusion that was inducible by iron, manganese also induced the production of β-galactosidase. Most of the fur mutants isolated (80%) were not able to grow on succinate, fumarate or acetate. After transformation with a fur + plasmid all 39 mutants tested were able to grow on succinate. In fur mutants the presence of succinate in the growth medium reduced succinate uptake rates by 50%–70%. Succinate dehydrogenase activity was reduced to 10% of that of the parent strain.

text: How to force kill a process in linuxNovember 16, 2011 by ComputerYou may occasionally need to kill a process in linux. The "kill" command in linux will do the job well. Combine kill with the "ps" command and you can easily remove any process. First use the ps to get a list of the current processes # ps -ef | grep ssh root 2504 1363 0 20:54 ? 00:00:00 sshd: root@pts/0 Here is an ssh process we want to kill. To kill it we do # kill 2504 On occasion the default kill signal may not work. To force kill a process you can use # kill -9 <process id> Use this carefully since it can have adverse results.

20 Interactive Whiteboard Resources for Teachers. Interactive whiteboards are a great way for teachers to engage classrooms in learning.
These tools are also cost effective. The Internet has tons of free sources to help teachers learn about and use IWBs with students. Using an iPad as an alternative to an interactive whiteboard. With more and more schools (and teachers) getting iPads, I'm increasingly being asked how a teacher can hook up their iPad to their interactive whiteboard.
There are several ways to use your iPad. The first is as a way to control your computer, and the other two involve connecting your computer directly to the projector, removing the IWB from the equation. None of these methods let you connect your iPad to your IWB. That's not possible right now. 1. Now!Board™ - now!Board™ - Learning Resources® Interactive White Boards. 6 Free Online Collaborative Interactive White Boards – 2012 Update November 4, 2012 3 of the original apps from our April 2010 post are no longer available, but here's 4 more free online IWBs to check out, and they're all collaborative!

FETC 2012 | News Ocoee Middle School Replaces Slates, Electronic Whiteboards By Mike Hohenbrink01/20/12 Ocoee Middle School, Florida's technology demonstration school, is replacing its electronic whiteboards and slates in favor of Apple iPads and the Doceri software package from San Francisco-based SP Controls, a provider of audio/visual controls and interfaces.
The Interactive Whiteboard for iPad. iPad Interactive Whiteboard. Over the past few months I have read via Facebook and email stories of teachers who were quite adept with their interactive whiteboard being moved through layoffs to schools where they no longer had this equipment.
Mainily for financial reasons, these techers will likely not have a replacement board at least for the next few years. However, many of these teachers have begun using iPads as IWB substitutes…and they are not alone. Considering, their lower price point and flexibility as a wireless, multi-featured tool, iPads can make farily strong replacements for interactive lessons. Where do you begin? iPad-based interactive whiteboard apps tend to fall into two categories: Alternatives to Interactive Whiteboards. SmartBoards, Promethean Boards and many other kinds of Interactive Whiteboards are a good tool, but not every room has them and, personally, I don't think they are worth the money.
Today I'm going to share some cost effective alternatives to the IWB, but keep in mind that all of these alternatives will require a digital video projector. One of the biggest challenges of integrating technology into learning is teaching students how to use said technology. Interactive Whiteboard Alternatives using Wii Remote or the iPad - ES 380 - Prindle.
An interactive whiteboard or SmartBoard is a larger interactive display that connects to a computer and projector within the classroom.
The projector can project the computer's desktop onto the board's surface where users control the computer by using a pen or marker. The board is usually mounted onto the wall and where students are able to use the board such as they would use a typically whiteboard except they also have the ability to use the features of the computer as well. Information on IWB's - This website gives you information on what a normal classroom interactive whiteboard is. It discusses some of the capabilities associated with this product. Apple TV In The Classroom – The New Smart Board. An iPad and Apple TV can combine to provide an advantageous alternative to more expensive, traditional interactive white boards.
Guest writer and High School Principal David Mahaley is using this approach and offers his insights, and observations from educators in his school. With the integration of the iPad into the instructional environment, teachers and students have discovered many new ways in which the device can expand and enhance the learning environment.

(image source: by Liza31337) Given that I'm a squirrel, I spend the majority of my days outdoors; and now that spring is upon us, aside from gathering nuts, soaring from branch to branch, and speeding across picketed fences, I find that my bushy tail and me like to hit the trails every so often for a wonderful Massachusetts hike. But, hiking here in Massachusetts isn't so much about elevation as it is about undeniably beautiful skylines, nationally noted historical references, and an array of distinct sights, flora, fauna, and terrain. A hike in Massachusetts is like no other, but don't take my word for it (I'm just a squirrel!) Organizing Measuring Cups and Spoons. Draw a Stickman. Bizarre Exam Answers!!

So I have a question...I need advice...
I work for a small tech company. I am a sales guy. I am the first full time, sales ONLY guy. Everyone else here "wears many hats" so to speak. I took this job out of desperation due to a massive layoff at my former employer. I have been with this company for about 5 months now. It turns out that I REALLLLLY like the job now.
I am paid $30K base salary plus they pay for 100% of my insurance for my wife and I (thats about $8K to $12K if you think about it).
When I first got hired they did not have a commission plan setup due to the fact that this was an entirely new position. The Pres and VP were doing all the sales, and its pretty much now all on me. I am fine with that.
I have asked several times for my commission plan and they have yet to get it to me as they have been "extremely busy." Which in their defense, they have. We have a lot of changes happening and I am patient. Additionally, we have a rather long sales cycle (6 months to 1yr+).
I am starting to get VERY frustrated that they have not given me my commission plan...I mean...come on...it cant take more than an hour to figure out...
Fellow gun lovers...How do you suggest that I go about asking/demanding my commission plan?

Monday practice at The Masters was cancelled for the first time in 11 years due to a thunderstorm at Augusta National.
Organisers were forced to call players and thousands of disappointed patrons off the course due to the conditions.
The bad weather arrived earlier than previously forecast and led to an announcement at 10am asking spectators to leave the grounds and seek shelter.
Tournament officials then announced at lunchtime that the gates would remain closed for the rest of the day, the first time that had happened since the same day in 2003.
Spectators will receive refunds in May and be guaranteed the opportunity to purchase tickets for practice rounds in 2015.
Augusta National chairman Billy Payne said: "We are disappointed that our patrons could not enjoy today's practice round, however safety must be our first concern. We look forward to seeing these patrons next year."
Around 30 players had been out on the course, including Northern Ireland duo Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell, German pair Bernhard Langer and Martin Kaymer and world No 4 Jason Day, who was playing alongside British amateur champion Garrick Porteous.
McIlroy out early
Pre-tournament favourite Rory McIlroy had spent around 90 minutes on the practice range, chatting to putting guru Dave Stockton, before leaving the course.
One player unconcerned about the weather was England's Lee Westwood, whose recent approach of not arriving at Augusta until Tuesday paid off handsomely.
In response to a question about the weather on Twitter, Westwood wrote: "No idea about Augusta but it's lovely in Florida."
A weather forecast issued at 8.30am local time said that the expected rain had started to "surge eastward towards Augusta National... as a result the starting times of the rain and thunderstorms have been shifted earlier a few hours.
"Rain and embedded thunderstorms will occur from late this morning through the early afternoon hours, before a break develops by the late afternoon.
"This should limit most of the stronger thunderstorm activity, but heavy rain, blustery conditions and occasional lightning can be expected as this moves through."
Keep up to date with all the action from all four days of the Masters starting at 7.00pm this Thursday on Sky Sports 4

Laings of Glasgow opens Robert Stewart store in Argyll Arcade
Laings of Glasgow has brought Scottish jewellery shop Robert Stewart back to the Argyll Arcade as part of the retailer's ongoing expansion.
Laings of Glasgow recently opened an expanded 3,000sq ft flagship store in the Argyll Arcade and the retailer has now bought another unit within the Arcade and opened it as Robert Stewart, a jewellery shop that was once appointed silversmith to Queen Victoria.
Robert Stewart is a trusted name in the area and will offer consumers various products, ranging from silver and fashion collections including shambala bracelets, to diamond jewellery with an exclusive handpicked Robert Stewart diamond ring range.
Robert Stewart was originally established by two brothers in 1835 as Allan and Robert Stewart Clock and Watchmakers. Based in the Trongate area, the brothers parted ways in 1840 and Robert continued to grow the business alone, moving to two different addresses on Argyle Street and up to Buchanan Street between 1845 and 1890.
Between 1886 and 1896, it is documented that Robert Stewart was appointed goldsmith, jeweller, wholesaler and silversmith to Queen Victoria.
The last Robert Stewart store was based on Sauchiehall Street and was purchased by the Laings in 1989.
Wendy Laing, director of Laings of Glasgow, said: "The past six months have been really exciting for the company with the launch of our new flagship store and the introduction of several new and exclusive brands.
"Despite not having traded for many years now, the Robert Stewart name still resonates with the people of Glasgow and is regarded as a high quality and reliable brand.
"Now we are into December and the festive trading is ramping up to full speed, it's the perfect time for us to open the new Robert Stewart store to offer shoppers in the Arcade the opportunity to purchase jewellery from another historic Scottish name."

Have you tried your luck at buying Google's flagship handset, the LG Nexus 4? If so, you would know that it can be quite frustrating and difficult ordeal, except for the few lucky enough to get an order through.
The words "Sold Out" are plastered on the Google Play ordering page in capital letters and red. "We are out of inventory. Please check back soon.", has been on the website a few times now and the backorder on the device had reached 9-10 weeks.
The 16GB variant is in stock on Google's website despite a 6-7 week delay in shipping. With a price tag so low and specs so good, it is not that surprising to see the LG Nexus 4 continue to fly off the virtual Google Play shelves. On the other hand, it is very strange to see Google having trouble fulfilling orders. This is not Google's first rodeo, so you have to wonder if they are at fault or if LG is simply having trouble producing enough of Nexus 4 handsets.
Are you having trouble ordering a Google Nexus 4? What do you think about Google having trouble keeping up with Nexus 4 demand? Let us know in the comments below.
[ Source ]
Why can't they at least give us an estimated availabilty date? Geeze!
It is really frustrating. I was unable to get the phone and am wondering when will the phone be available to Canada again? Why is there such limited stock? A big company like Google could not anticipate demand based on their current sales? really? I will just pick up another phone now as I wanted to get the Nexus 4 as a Xmas presend. Google has definitely lost this customer.
I live in Canada and got a 16GB version on Dec.3, I got it within the hour it came out and the site did not crash or glitch on me. The only complaint I have is the I have to wait 7-8 weeks for shipping. I believe the phone sold out in about 4 hours.
I highly doubt that google is losing money on this phone. I mean, on the tear down of the iPhone 5, the manufacturing & bill of materials was around $200 for the 16gb model. So at the very least, Google is breaking even on that handset. My theory is that they don't want to scare away other manufactures or give them the idea that they are going to be embracing anti-competitive practices by selling it at cut throat prices.
Google Please "Don't be evil" ! Nothing more to add. Wasting your customer's precious time to look for nexus 4 availability now and then.
I'm surprised I haven't heard of someone being let go from google. I understand that it's a great price but they are losing so many sales. By the time they are able to get it into people's hands, it will be yesterday's news. Not to mention the only case for it is a bumper? At least with iphone, cases are ready to be released on launch date. Google isn't acting like one of the world's largest companies right now. It just goes to show that they're not poised to lead in this market.
I am from Nairobi Kenya, and everytime I check Google play store i get the following rude message "Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet. We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible. Please check back again soon." its quite disappointing
I am from Nairobi Kenya, and everytime I check google play store i get the following rude message "Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet. We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible. Please check back again soon." its quite dissapointing
I feel you??? from Uganda!
Yes, it's quite odd and a bit disconcerting that the Ministry of Information would miscalculate demand, or didn't anticipate that LG would have deliver problems. I agree a spokesperson from Google should come forward and explain the "error", :)
Google might supprting some mount of subsidy at the NEXUS4. So, they don't want to sell as many as customer requests. Conclsion, the subsidy would be so much than marker expectation. It is just my personal idea.
Why can't I buy this phone T____T? what have I done to deserve this? I'd buy an unlocked iphone 5 or unlocked s3 but I would never be able to swallow it knowing that the nexus 4 is $309
Well, it's frustrating… I'm ready to order 16GB model but I don't want to wait 6-7 weeks to get the phone in my hand. There might be a better phone or better deal in between that 6-7 weeks. Google simply loose there customers for Nexus 4.
A trick played by Google, they can eat up loss on low volume but for huge volume its not possible. This is one the Google Doodle kind of marketing ..
I agree, there are games being played here by LG/Google. Google Web Search handles millions of searches every minute, you believe they can't handle a couple of thousand order on Play Store? Think it over again!
Personally I think Google make a loss on every NX4 they sell – Look at the price!!!! That's why they don't do "PRE-ORDER".
Google has to play this game to gain market visibility (marketing) and market share on Apple and at the same time making it terribly hard for Microsoft to enter the market with their pricey product. Well play by Google!
Having said that – I'm happy to wait and buy NX4 – My phone is still working fine and pure android experience is priceless!
My time wasted trying to find out when they are available would have bought me another phone, who says they will work well anyway?
Inconsiderate, incompetent, or just calculated to slow competitor's sales. Either way, the consumer is disrespected as usual, and Google is too rich to care.
I kinda just wish someone from Google would come out and explain how they miscalculated the demand.
Silly comment, they can't prepare for mass sales when they haven't got a reputation for amazing hardware/software. It's not like the iPhone where it's had years to build up an great reputation.

Toro Y Moi Previews New LP With Woozy, Funky 'So Many Details'
New album 'Anything in Return' is due out on January 22 via Carpark
Chaz Bundick shouldn't worry about being pigeonholed anymore. The Toro y Moi mastermind recently revived his Les Sins dancefloor alter ego for a single on Caribou/Daphni main man Dan Snaith's Jiaolong label, compiled his own early lo-fi recordings, and turned toward '80s-tinged synth-funk sounds on last year's Freaking Out EP — and that was after he sort of freaked out himself, tossing aside electronic samples for last year's more organic-sounding sophomore stunner Underneath the Pine. Oh yeah, Bundick also produced a track for Odd Future rapper Tyler, the Creator.
On January 22, Carpark will release Bundick's third album as Toro y Moi, Anything in Return, and on the first track to hit the Internet, "So Many Details," it's as if he's confidently reclaiming — and refining, and advancing — the hazy, intimate-feeling electro-R&B sound that made the Toro y Moi name. Bundick's many stylistic detours since 2010 debut Causers of This inform his artistic voice here without overwhelming it: Timbaland-like shouts and Nicolas Jaar's spacey abstraction meet with splashes of horns, jagged guitar snippets, and Bundick's central, falsetto-confessional storytelling. "What happened to us?" he repeats. The answer, surely, is in the details.
Speaking of: Pitchfork reports "So Many Details" will be out on November 23 as a 7" single, with a remix featuring Hodgy Beats. According to a press release, the single will be out on November 26 in Europe, and that's the single art above.

Crosman Lectures
Journalism is essential to democracy but it must make that case to the public and find new sources of financial support to survive, according to media scholar Nick Couldry.
Couldry, a professor of media, communications and social theory at the London School of Economics, recently delivered the 2014 Ralph L. Crosman lecture sponsored by CU Journalism & Mass Communication. The lecture series honors the founding director of JMC.
Watch the 2014 lecture below:
About the Crosman Lecture Series
This lecture series honors the memory of one of the most distinguished faculty members and administrators in the history of CU Journalism & Mass Communication, and of the University of Colorado.
Ralph L. Crosman joined the CU faculty in 1921, the year before the journalism program became a formal department. His work as a teacher and industry critic during the next 27 years was central in helping to build and establish the quality of the journalism curriculum, laying the groundwork for the strong media and communication program it has since become.
Professor Crosman's outstanding service was acknowledged when in 1937, the year the program was elevated to the status of a college, he was named its first director. He served in that post until his death in 1948.
Throughout his career Ralph Crosman was an energetic, thoughtful leader in journalism and communication education. His work at CU helped shape the values of journalism education nationally. He served as president of the forerunner of one of our major scholarly organizations, the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, and as national president of Kappa Tau Alpha, the principal honorary society in this field. He was a regular speaker before major state, regional and national press and media education associations. His lectures before such groups in the mid-1940s raised important concerns about the role of the press and mass media in contemporary society and democracy, and they had a telling impact on the work of the Hutchins Commission and its 1946 report on the problems of freedom and responsibility in the American press.
His work was universally respected by academics and professionals alike, and there have been few journalism educators whose criticisms have been so widely published and commented upon in trade journals. At the time of his passing Ralph Crosman's contributions to the field were generously applauded by fellow journalism leaders across the country. Typical was the observation by Ralph Casey, the director at Minnesota: "His professional ideals were the highest, and he possessed (uncommon) courage in fighting for the ethical and social conceptions that the press should hold uppermost."
It was to remember that courage and leadership that in 1952 a group of Ralph Crosman's former students, friends and colleagues organized the Crosman Memorial Fund that, among other things, permitted CU Journalism & Mass Communication to establish this lecture series.

IF your husband has any slight muscle tone or a nice butt, THIS suit will not work in his regular size. It runs smaller and is cut for men with NO butts or biceps. So, needless to say, its an excellent buy for a prepubescent boy (cut wise) Too bad because the quality is very nice. Total bummer!!!
This man's linen suit looks stylish, fashionable, and trendy. The material feels good on; it is light-weight, yet heavy enough for quality. The suit fits well, and the size ordered was a nice fit. I highly recommend this suit to others.
the suit is nice my tailor said its a nice suit for the price. I am very happy I am wait for the white one to go on sale so I can buy one
The suit was perfect the legs came untailored so i was able to fit length and cuff desired as I wanted them. I used the suit for two summer time weddings and people loved looked.The suit was light and airy and very comfortable.
I bought this suit after snatching up the last $**.** navy version. I figured I would try out the white one, as well. The blazers alone warrant the price. Apparently this item is somehow inferior because of it's country of origin, I somehow manage to doubt this assertion as I type on my Chinese laptop, while sitting on my Chinese sofa, while my Chinese television plays in the background. Everything is imported these days. I think the other reviewers were expecting a traditional wool or cotton suit, which are great for the tepid latitudes. It is a linen suit, and it is made to be wrinkled. Linen suits are a necessity in any hot weather. The pants may not be lined, but that should not be a problem when the temperature is pushing ninety. The pants of course need to be hemmed, but that always gives you the opportunity to have them lined. As far as the interior of the white blazer, it is lined in a lovely champagne material, while the navy version has an optimistic pale-blue paisley. I'm a huge dude, I'm 6'5" and pushing 230 lbs., and I'm enough of a gorgeous man-beast to make up for my stupidity. I ordered the 44L/T and both jackets fit like a glove - even the sleeve lengths are perfect.
Not as I expected. Didn't fit me Returned unable to accumulate the required characters to complete this form to overstock's satrsfactory.I sincerely appreciate most of their products but must watch the material and name brands to be satisfied.
Decent suit for the price. However I would never get this type fabric again.

Hendon: Furlong has future at Bees
The 40-year-old former Chelsea man is on-loan at Underhill from Southend and has rolled back the years of late, bagging four goals in his last three games to propel the Bees towards League Two safety. And his form has prompted Hendon to offer him a home in North London if he decides to continue his career into a 20th season. "We'll see what happens at the end of the season," Hendon said. "Paul knows what I think about him, though. "He may decide that he feels he is too old to carry on playing football. But he has been great for us and I would love to have him here." Hendon is also waiting to hear from QPR over his application to extend goalkeeper Jake Cole's loan deal.
